Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 111 Please help
At the same time, in the court hall, which seemed to be surrounded by cries from all directions, the emperor collapsed on the chair, his face was devastated. Among the civil and military officials, those who were infected by the cries or had children who died in battle bowed their heads and wept, thinking of the country. The formal face was full of worry, and the entire court was silent.

After a long time, a general who was kneeling on the ground raised his head and said with tears, blood and grief on his face, "Your Majesty, this battle is only due to the misjudgment of my servant, who fell into the trap of the opponent, and was defeated by the opponent's 30 troops with [-] troops." The siege of the army and four masters of the three realms of heaven and man led to such a result, the humble minister is guilty."

Hearing these words, the emperor seemed to come back to his senses, and shifted his unfocused gaze to the defeated general, with an extremely gloomy expression.

But all the civil and military officials present knew clearly that this general, who was only a deputy general, was actually responsible for the prince who fled back in embarrassment just to cover for him. I am afraid that the real mistake did not lie with him, so most of them showed sympathy and experience. Jie's expression.

However, Zhao Tian, ​​Marshal of the Zhen Kingdom, stubbornly believed that losing was a defeat. He had seen this person as disliked, and he was even more furious when he heard the words: "After one battle, nearly [-] troops and four thousand children from the imperial city died. Of course you can’t escape the blame, why didn’t you die on the battlefield and why did you come back?!”

"The reason why the last general has lived until now is to give an explanation to the emperor and the marshal." The general who was kneeling on the ground raised his head, said these words with great integrity, then got up, and said: "Please forgive the last general I can't be loyal to my great Jin!" Then he drew out his sword with a "clank" and wiped it on his neck.

Immediately, hot blood splashed five steps, a head with half-closed eyes rolled down, and the headless corpse also fell into the pool of blood.

The emperor and all the civil and military officials were taken aback. A few of them took a few steps back in fright, and some even vomited "Wow".

However, the Generalissimo, who was clearly capable of taking action to stop him, did not change his expression at all, and he did not even look at the corpse, but kept a faint pain and helplessness in his heart.

Of course the prime minister could understand Zhao Tian's mood at the moment, so he sighed deeply, and ordered someone to deal with the scene instead of the stunned emperor.

After a long time, the emperor recovered and asked: "How many troops do we have left now?" But he never mentioned his prince who fled back in embarrassment.

The Prime Minister replied: "There are about [-] left."

"And the Western Rong allied forces have 20 against our Jin country?" The emperor changed his face when he heard this number, and then asked in a panic: "What happened to other countries in the entire Western Front war?"

"Same." The Prime Minister said with a solemn expression, "They are all retreating steadily."

The emperor's face turned pale, and he asked even more anxiously: "The situation has reached such a critical moment, why is there no movement from the emperor's way?"

Speaking of the emperor's way, many officials who were equally cold-hearted suddenly became hopeful, and looked at the prime minister one after another.

The prime minister was silent for a while, and said: "According to the news I just got today, there is another battlefield in this war besides the border area of ​​the Central Plains, and the Emperor's Dao is defending against the high-level warriors of the wild four tribes on that battlefield. And the situation is also very bad. Now we are calling the younger generation of warriors from the mainland to Penglai for training as a backup force. Obviously, it will take a while, so now we don't have the energy to help the border countries. That is to say, now we can only rely on our army."

"What?" The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, then stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Relying on the army, we have 20 and others [-]. Isn't it a dead end?"

The other civil and military officials also turned pale immediately.

But the Prime Minister replied calmly: "In a short period of time, it is true that many cities will be lost, but we can't just sit and wait."

The emperor sat down hastily when he heard the words, and asked, "What's the prime minister's plan?"

"It's not a clever plan, there is a way, but I don't know if it will work." The prime minister paused after finishing speaking, and then said: "At present we can only rely on the army to resist the army of the Xirong tribe, but the two After the war, our army not only suffered heavy casualties, but also suffered from low morale, making it impossible to fight any more, but the countries with which we have friendly relations are not in the border areas, and they have not yet been affected by wars, nor have they fallen into wars.” Finally, The Prime Minister cupped his hands and said: "So, I beg you, I will set off immediately to lobby the monarchs of Song, Zheng, Tang, Chu, Zhao, Qi, Cai, etc., and ask them to send troops to help my Great Song."

The emperor nodded quickly when he heard the words: "It's a way, the old prime minister hurry up and set off, we are waiting for your good news."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old prime minister said, and then strode out of the court hall.

When the Grand Marshal saw that the old prime minister was on the move, he couldn't help being ready to move, and stood up and said: "The old minister invites you to fight, go to the front line to resist the two armies of Xi Rong, and buy time for the reinforcements of the Seven Kingdoms."

The emperor shook his head repeatedly when he heard the words: "Old marshal, please be safe and don't be impatient. The prime minister also said that now the troops are insufficient and morale is weak, and it is not suitable to fight any more." Close the gates of each city, only defend but not attack, just wait for the Prime Minister to bring the Seven Kingdoms Allied Forces, what do you think about the arrangement here?"

Hearing this, except for the Generalissimo and a few generals, the rest of the civil and military officials all nodded and agreed with this approach very much.

So the emperor didn't want to say any more, so he fled and announced his retirement, and all the civil and military officials also retreated one after another.

The Generalissimo was left behind with a livid face under the compliments of several young generals, and after a few curses, he finally left angrily.

At the same time, people in the streets of the imperial city kept running towards Dianjiang Square in a panic, but Fang Jie ignored all of this and returned to Fang Mansion silently all the way.

But at the door, he met Xia Chaochen.

This reminded him suddenly that Xia Chaochen, who had worked with the Fang family for more than ten years, had a stronger relationship with Megatron than this master, and those twenty killers who had been training day and night together, and now that Megatron is missing, it is the saddest thing One of them must be Xia Chaochen.

So Fang Jie stopped Xia Chaochen who was leaving in a hurry, but he didn't know how to tell him the news, and was speechless for a while.

But Xia Chaochen said, "I know everything."

Fang Jie was taken aback when he heard the words, then sighed, and said, "I hope Uncle Xia won't worry too much. After all, Uncle Wei is only missing and may still be alive."

"Don't worry, I understand the truth." Xia Chaochen said, but comforted Fang Jie: "Don't worry too."

"En." Fang node nodded.

And Xia Chaochen said again: "There are tens of thousands of wounded people who have come back from the front in Dongying, and they are all waiting for treatment. An official issued a convening notice, requiring all the pharmacists in the imperial city to go and participate in the healing of the wounded. Just prepare to go there, and by the way, you can also inquire about your Uncle Wei."

"So that's it, then Uncle Xia, let's go." Fang Jie hurriedly stepped aside when he heard this.

Xia Chaochen nodded, and quickly walked towards Dongying.

So Fang Jie entered the door and returned to his yard, but unexpectedly a jade tube flew towards him, so he stretched out his hand to catch it, and seeing that it was from Wu Nu, he quickly opened it, and after a closer look, he was stunned: "To lobby the Seven Kingdoms to send troops... I also want to be prepared?"
