royal robes

Chapter 1127
It's useless to write lyrics well. What Li Jing needs now is a general who can lead troops to fight, not a literati who can only write poems and lyrics.

It is not that Feng Yansi has never fought a war. He and Chen Jue, the servant of the rear, raised 8000 troops to attack Fuzhou.At that time, there were only 1 people stationed in Fuzhou. As a result, more than [-] people died before Fuzhou was defeated, and they were forced to retreat.In the end, it was Li Jing who took charge of Fuzhou himself.

At that time, Feng Yansi was already the prime minister, and Li Jing was so angry that he beheaded him and Chen Jue to show the public.But Feng Yansi was smart enough to take the blame and resign to give up the position of prime minister and become Li Hongji's teacher.Li Jing also let them live because of this.

After a few years, Feng Yansi became the prime minister again until now.It's not that he has no skills, but his skills are not very useful, but his interpersonal relationship is good, and he is really good at handling internal affairs.Although Li Jing despised Feng Yansi, he was often needed.

Li Jing fought in the south and north in these years, and he was not in the court to deal with government affairs most of the time. It was only with Feng Yansi's help that he could go out to fight with confidence.Although Feng Yansi is not highly valued, but there is hard work without credit. Li Jing usually likes to deal with him, because Li Jing himself is also a lover of literature.

After entering the room, Li Jing could be said to have a sad face.He really didn't expect to lose the battle that was supposed to be a sure win, and the loss was so casual. The opponent completely crushed the most powerful navy in Southern Tang Dynasty, making them powerless to fight back.

Li Jing knew that this was all his fault. He was too self-righteous and thought that he could easily eliminate Da Zhou's 20 soldiers. In the end, all this was Da Zhou's acting.

As long as you can calmly think about it, it is actually easy to see the clues.Even if Chai Rong was seriously ill, if they wanted to retreat, how could they not be able to?As a result, they have been delaying time outside Shouzhou. It is obvious that they do not want to retreat and deliberately give the opportunity to sneak attack.

"I heard what I said just now. Since Senior Xiaoyaozi is here, there is nothing I can do... Hongji, you said that Taoist Wu Yazi gave a plan, let's talk about it now."

Li Hongji said: "Go back to the emperor... I dare not say it."

"Don't dare to say? What else are you afraid of?" Li Jing frowned and said, "Could it be that you want me to dedicate the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei?"

"How does the royal father know?"

"As expected... Li Hongji, you were indeed taught by Wu Yazi, and the methods you all came up with are the same." Li Jing said angrily, "How could it be possible to dedicate all the fourteen prefectures in the north of the Yangtze River? This is almost half of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Your brains What are you thinking?"

Li Hongji said: "Father, if you continue to procrastinate like this, the result will be the same. My son wants to negotiate terms with Da Zhou as much as possible while he still has some capital. Wouldn't it be even worse if he lost the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei instead of any conditions?" Is it? The Zhou army is so powerful that our army can't resist it at all. We can only confront it by occupying the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Anyway, this is the result. Why don't we give the fourteen states of Jiangbei to Chai Rong and withdraw all valuable things to the Jiangnan area? , preserve strength in order to make a comeback.”

What Li Hongji said was similar to what Wu Yazi said, and this was the solution he came up with after much thought.However, this method is really too shameful. After winning a battle, you will automatically give up half of your country, and no one would be willing to do it.

"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense." Li Jing pointed at Li Hongji, really wanted to scold him, but the whole thing was his and Li Congjia's fault, and the only person who questioned this was Li Hongji, and Li Jing also I don't know how to scold him.

Li Jing actually understood a little bit that it would be a matter of time before he continued to lose the [-] Jiangbei prefectures.What Li Hongji said was not wrong, it was just unacceptable.

Feng Yansi said: "His Royal Highness, this doesn't make sense."

"What's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness said that the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei will be annexed by the Great Zhou sooner or later, so we must dedicate all the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei. According to His Royal Highness, no one in the world can live forever. We will die sooner or later. Should we give ourselves two swords now? ? Maybe if you die earlier, you can negotiate some terms with Hades, but that’s not necessarily the case.”

Feng Yansi sent Li Hongji back with one sentence. It is true that everyone will die in the end, no matter how they die, this is an unavoidable thing.

According to Li Hongji, since they will die sooner or later, everyone should die now, and then go to Hades to negotiate terms... How is this possible?

Li Jing couldn't refute Li Hongji's words originally, that's why he lost his temper so much.Because Li Jing thinks that Li Hongji is right, there are no loopholes in Li Hongji's words.Someone finally found a loophole, and Li Jing was also very excited about it.

"That is to say, if we know the result earlier, can we make a decision in advance?" Li Jing said: "So, you can't trust Wu Yazi's words completely. The fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei are half of the country, how can they give it to others?"

"Father, my son and minister are actually thinking the same as you. However, Wu Yazi's words are indeed credible, because this method is feasible." Li Congjia said: "Wu Yazi's method is exactly the same as the emperor's brother, but Xiaoyaozi The senior's method is better. After transferring all the available resources in Jiangbei to Jiangnan, and dedicating all the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei, we can negotiate terms with Chai Rong. After the terms are negotiated, our army does not have much loss, and then we will go all out Attacking Wuyue, Wuyue's territory is not small, but a little poor. After we captured Wuyue's country..."

"Don't talk about it, Xiaoyaozi is just a magic stick. His martial arts skills have a use, and he understands the general trend of the world." Li Jing said: "Still attacking Wuyue? Then you can't use the navy? If you sacrifice the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei, After the water army was impacted by this, they divided up their troops to attack Wuyue. If Chai Rong took advantage of the situation, we couldn’t even defend the Yangtze River defense line. What should we do then? Chai Rong can lead troops directly into Jinling.”

"Father, aren't we going to negotiate terms?"

"What the fuck, do you want Chai Rong not to attack us? Even if the negotiation is over, can you be sure that Chai Rong will fulfill his promise?" Li Jing is now angry as long as he hears the proposal to give Chai Rong the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei. , even though they have suffered a defeat now, they only lost one hundred thousand sailors.It is so easy to give the whole of Jiangbei to Chai Rong... that is the land accumulated by the former emperor's soldiers and horses all his life, and even the Chu State in Jiangxi. A mistake that made the efforts of two generations go to waste?
"Father, my son also thinks this method is a bit extreme, but what Wu Yazi and Xiaoyaozi said should not be false." Li Congjia said: "My son has dealt with Xiaoyaozi for a long time, if this person is willing to take action If he chooses someone at random, he can become the emperor and unify the world. This matter is not difficult for Xiaoyaozi. What he said will definitely become a reality. Although the ministers don't like him, but But I really admire his ability.”

"Oh~ This person is very powerful, but what if he has chosen someone to deliberately trick us? Can you guarantee that he will do this for our own good?"

When Li Jing asked such a rhetorical question, Li Congjia didn't know what to say.In fact, he knew very well that Li Jing would not agree to this method even if he proposed it, because it was half of the world, so why should he hand it over to others.What's more, even if it is to negotiate conditions, Chai Rong may not accept these conditions. If Chai Rong insists on fighting, no one can do anything.

Li Hongji said: "Father also has his own position when he says this, and my ministers dare not speak out. Even so, we can transfer all the resources and most of the manpower in Jiangbei back to Jiangnan, so that we can do our best to preserve our strength."

"This is like a human saying... Feng Yansi, you are more useful in this regard. You and Congjia immediately started working on this matter and transferred all the productive resources and manpower from Jiangbei to Jiangnan. Transfer as many people as possible , I want someone who is young, strong and in good health.”

"Follow orders~!"

"General Huangfu, send more people to guard the city."

Huangfu Jixun said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to say these things. I have been afraid to speak just now. Since Your Majesty asked me, I should speak first. Let's hurry back to Jinling, escape from Jiangbei, and deploy everything in Jinling. From my point of view, maybe today or tomorrow, the Zhou army will definitely encircle the entire Shouzhou, if you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to leave again."

Huangfu Jixun reminded everyone in one sentence, if they did not leave at this time, they might not be able to leave.Huangfu Jixun was the one who cared most about his own life, so his first thought was not how to solve the problem, but that he should escape earlier.

The next move of the Zhou army must be to siege the city, because they could not capture Shouzhou, so they had no choice but to besiege Shouzhou.There is enough food and grass in Shouzhou now, but as long as there are no extra supplies, how long can this food last?
People's mouths are terrible, no matter how much food they have, they can eat cleanly, and people's mouths are not satisfied, they have to eat several meals a day, and if they can't eat one meal, they will riot.How long can Shouzhou last?No one can tell.

"General Huangfu is right. At this time, we should evacuate as soon as possible. Master Liu, how many soldiers and civilians are there in Shouzhou now?"

"There are more than 12 people and more than [-] soldiers."

"Well, let's go back to Jinling immediately, including [-] soldiers and [-] people. There are [-] soldiers and [-] people left in the city. This will save food as much as possible and allow Shouzhou to last longer. Let us think of a solution to counterattack." Li Jing said: "Master Liu, you can go with us too. Send another guard to garrison Shouzhou. Master Liu has worked hard and made great achievements. There is no need to suffer this crime. Call a young People come, even if Shouzhou can't hold on, he still has a chance to escape."

Liu Renshan said: "Thank you for your kindness. I still stay in Shouzhou to avoid the guards from making mistakes. Shouzhou is the gateway to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even though it is a little bit of a disadvantage at this time, if I also leave, I am afraid that the soldiers in Shouzhou will not accept it. As long as I can persist, I can delay Chai Rong as long as possible, and give His Majesty more time to deal with these matters."
