Mortal Immortal Gourd

In the imperial palace of the capital, the Holy Emperor Longxing sat high on the dragon throne, and the ministers below were all worried about the country and the people, offering suggestions and advice, which made the emperor feel upset.

"Your Majesty, the demons have occupied my Qingzhou and plundered my people of the Great Zhou. I can't eat during the day and can't sleep at night. I am worried about my country and my people..."

An old minister who had lost his teeth said tremblingly, wiped his eyes, and squeezed out a few tears of worrying about the country and the people.

"Although I am not old, I am willing to lead the troops to fight the demons and take back the stronghold."

The Holy Emperor Longxing glanced at the old minister. When he was young, he cherished his life more than anyone else. Now he is so old that his life span has been exhausted and he is about to be buried. Now he runs out to take advantage of his age.

"Since you are so loyal, I am very relieved. Tomorrow you will lead the troops to attack Qingzhou and take back the lost land."

The Holy Emperor Longxing simply took advantage of the situation and let the old man go to see if he dares.

The old minister was obviously stunned for a moment. He just said it to satisfy his desire to talk.

He has lived for hundreds of years. Although he has some cultivation, he has always abided by the principle of peace and happiness. He has never fought with anyone, let alone a life-and-death fight.

"This... this, as the saying goes, the food and grass must go before the troops move..."

The old minister can only find a way to shirk the boast he just made.

"Sending such an old minister will make the demons laugh at our country for having no one!"

"Your Majesty, I think there is a best candidate who can take on this important task!"

At this moment, another minister in the court stood up and helped the old minister out.

"What candidates do you have? Tell me about it and let me see?"

The Longxing Holy Emperor was a little curious, wondering what tricks these people had.

"I think that the Supervisory Censor Sima Yi is loyal and patriotic, and he is brave and resourceful, and can take on this important task."

"I also think that Sima Yi is a rare talent of the time, with a loyal heart. When the country is in danger, only Sima Yi can recover Qingzhou."

"I second the proposal!"

For a while, all the ministers in the court thought that Sima Yi was the best candidate.

This made the Holy Emperor Longxing a little overwhelmed.

This is obviously a flattery.

Sima Yi is only at the Golden Core level now, and has never led troops to fight. How can he resist the demons who are coming in full force?

The people in the court recommended Sima Yi, just to put him on the fire and let him die.

So insidious!

It turns out that the old ones are the best!

"But Sima Yi has never led an army, and he has no soldiers under his command. How can he attack Qingzhou, and where will the troops come from?"

The Longxing Emperor could not openly favor Sima Yi, so he could only throw this question to the ministers in the court.

"Now the demons have occupied Qingzhou and are eyeing the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. If we transfer troops from other places, I am afraid it will be too late."

"I think we only need to ask Sima Yi to lead more than ten light cavalry to Qingzhou overnight, and we can borrow soldiers and food from the loyal and brave Earl of Sanyang County."

This minister was even more ruthless. He was unwilling to give Sima Yi even a soldier or a grain of food, and just made empty promises to let him go to recapture Qingzhou.

After being reminded of this, the other ministers followed suit.

Zhang Ergou of Sanyang County was not the same as them, so they took this opportunity to get rid of Sanyang County.

Let Zhang Ergou and Sima Yi from Sanyang County fight with the demon army, and both sides will suffer losses, and it is best if they lose their lives.

Especially in recent times, Emperor Longxing has appointed several minor officials from Sanyang County, which has made all the civil and military officials in the court see the crisis.

Originally, they monopolized all positions and affairs in the court, and everyone shared the benefits and helped each other.

Even if the emperor reused Sima Yi, he would still be their people after pulling out a few carrots and putting them back in the pit.

If people from Sanyang County are allowed to intervene, the original balance will inevitably be broken. In the long run, the status of the major forces in the court will not be guaranteed.

So now, in addition to Sima Yi, Zhang Ergou from Shanyang County is a thorn in the eyes of all the ministers.

"I think Zhang Ergou and Sima Yi are the best candidates."

Emperor Longxing was still hesitating, but all the ministers in the court unanimously agreed to let these two people go.

If the two dare not rush to fight for the country at this critical moment, it means that the loyal words they usually show are all false and hypocritical.

The monsters are not so easy to fight. Since the war with the Wan Yao Kingdom, the Zhenguo Army has been completely destroyed, General Ji has died, and now it seems that Xia Mingyuan can't hold on.

In the eyes of all the ministers, the monster army is powerful and cannot be defeated.

Now let Sima Yi and Zhang Ergou fight the monsters and recapture Qingzhou, which is a plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Just when the ministers of the court were secretly happy and the Longxing Sheng Emperor was embarrassed and undecided, Sima Yi, who was standing at the end of the court, took the initiative to stand up.

"I am willing to go!"

Sima Yi bowed his head with his hands, and his red eyes flashed with a demonic light, and his black eyes were calm and indifferent.

The ministers of the court looked at Sima Yi and smiled as if their evil plan had succeeded.

However, the Longxing Sheng Emperor also made a promise.

If Sima Yi and Zhang Ergou could defeat the demon and take back Qingzhou, he would definitely reward them handsomely.

On the day of the court meeting, Sima Yi rode out of the capital.

There were only twenty or so people following him.

In addition to his followers, the court also stuffed several deputy generals and some idle people around him.

These people were to urge him to prevent him from being afraid to go into battle when he saw the demon, and to monitor his words and deeds. If they could catch some evidence, it would be the best.

These twenty or so people traveled day and night, and arrived at Sanyang County in just over ten days.

When Er Gouzi built the crystal house and returned to Sanyang County, he lay on the table and wrote a memorial crookedly.

The main content of the memorial was to show his loyalty to the emperor and his love for the country and his concern for the country and the people.

He watched Qingzhou fall and cried all day long. Every morning his pillow was soaked with tears.

Recently, because of his worries about state affairs, he lost 30 pounds.

It was just that Er Gouzi racked his brains to compile such a good memorial. Before he could send it out, he met Sima Yi and his party.

Alas...

It was still a step late after all!
