At this time, the entire court was also in silence.

As soon as the minister came to his senses, he began to accuse, "What do those generals do for food?"

They were civil servants and could know nothing about war.But what about those generals?What about the generals stationed at the border?Did Wuhuan and Xianbei suddenly attack?Didn't these people have any foresight about the war?

Taiwei Xiao Qun said, "Now is not the time to hold people responsible! Your Majesty, we must mobilize troops, horses, and supplies to support."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

At this time, the entire court ministers abandoned their prejudices and chose to unite with the outside world. After all, if they could not stop the Xianbei Wuhuan and other foreign tribes from going south in time, Chang'an would be in danger.

Support is definitely needed. Song Mo looked at Wu Chunyu, who was in charge of the treasury.

Wu Chunyu hurriedly came out of the queue, "Your Majesty, messages requesting for assistance have been sent from all over the world. The northern border needs troops, Bingzhou needs soldiers and horses, Youzhou needs money and food, Pingzhou needs weapons, and the imperial treasury can't afford it all at once. Lots of things to come!”

Song Mo: "We will support as much as the national treasury has now. If it is not enough, we will raise money later!"

Wu Chunyu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the current supplies in the treasury are only enough to support two battlefields..."

After hearing this, other ministers began to express their opinions or suggestions.

"Support the Northern Territory and Bingzhou first!" The speaker was an old minister. There were younger members of his family serving in the Northern Territory.

Zhang Xian refused, "Look at what you said, you don't care about Youzhou and Pingzhou?" Mr. Lu and his family are all in Pingzhou.

Another minister said, "Don't be stubborn, Mr. Zhang. Youzhou and Hepingzhou are better, and we can still hold on, but both Northern Territory and Bingzhou are starting to lose their cities!" A wave of support must be sent first!

When mentioning Pingzhou, the ministers immediately thought of the Qin family who was exiled here.

So, someone took the lead in requesting, "Your Majesty, please activate the Qin family!"

By this time, Song Mo's emotions had calmed down.

Song Mo felt uncomfortable after hearing the ministers' suggestions.

He couldn't save his face by pardoning the Qin family at this time.

The other ministers saw that the emperor was not furious when they heard the proposal to rehabilitate the Qin family and use the Qin family, so they discussed it one by one.

"However, Pingzhou and Pingzhou are currently being attacked by the Xianbei army. I wonder if the Qin family is okay?"

"Yes, it's not easy to summon the Qin family back to Chang'an at this time, right?"

"It's better to rehabilitate the Qin family on the spot and let the Qin family lead troops to fight against Xianbei in Pingzhou."

"No, I think it's better to relocate the Qin family brothers to the north."

"Transferred to the northern border? Doesn't Pingzhou need to be taken care of?"

"But the Qin family has been guarding the Northern Territory all year round and is obviously very familiar with the Northern Territory. As long as the Qin family brothers are transferred to the Northern Territory, the Northern Territory will be stable. It is not necessarily the case if they are placed in Pingzhou."

"Oh, the northern border is Dali's territory, but Pingzhou is not?"

Zhang Xian remained silent on this topic because he couldn't say whether he agreed or opposed it.

But what surprised Zhang Xian was that his rival Zuo Anmin was so quiet today.

Zuo Anmin didn't behave like a monster today?If it were in the past, he would definitely suppress the Qin family.

How did Zhang Xian know that Zuo Anmin was regretting it now? Why did he send his nephew to Pingzhou?You can’t send anyone, right?

He just hopes that his nephew will be smarter and rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible and ignore the taxes and rations. After all, even the emperor can't care about these taxes and rations now.

His nephew has a more serious temper, and it would be best to send him to Pingzhou to supervise the taxation and grain management.

But now, he is really afraid that at this time, the sexual energy in his nephew will be violated.

The ministers were noisy, which gave Song Mo a headache. He cleared his throat, and after the palace quieted down, he said, "Let me think about this again."

Hearing this, some of the ministers were disappointed. It's already this time, why is the emperor still unwilling to use the Qin family?

Prince Gong advised again, "Your Majesty, the situation is critical. At this time we should abandon all grudges and prejudices, unite as one, and fight against foreigners."

But he was interrupted by Taiwei Xiao Qun, "Prince Gong's words are wrong. We in Dali are full of talents, and the Qin family is not the only one who knows how to fight."

These words touched Song Mo's heart.

"Of course the Qin family knows how to fight, but we also have many generals who know how to fight. This time we can definitely transfer generals and troops back from the southwestern armies. We should be able to deal with this crisis."

The Taiwei is in charge of the troops and horses. Fu Jiangong and Yan Zheng were the ones he admonished at the beginning. His current mentality is the same as that of the emperor.

Prince Gong was about to say more, but Song Mo raised his hand to stop him, "Now, ministers and ministers, please first raise supplies to support Bingzhou and—"

When it came to the next support place, Song Mo hesitated.Bingzhou must be supportive. If Xianbei's march to the south is not stopped here, further south will be the hinterland of the Central Plains.

"Northern Territory." Song Mo spit out the last two words.

All civil and military officials handed over their hands and said, "I obey the order."

Song Mo continued to order, "Then, pass on my decree and order Sun Ming of the Southern Army and Dong Guowei of the Zhenxi Army to lead their respective armies to return reinforcements!"

Song Mo began to dispatch generals and large armies from the Army of Conquering the South and the Army of Zhenxi to reinforce the north.

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Bintu County

The manpower and material resources used to transport 120 million stone tax grains are huge.

When Cangbe Cao, Xu Junfan, and deputy Zuo Yi came, they brought a team of 200 people, but the manpower was still not enough.Lu Desheng arranged for Lu Wei and his troops to help transport tax grains.

The grain transport team moved slowly. As soon as they set off from Changli, passed through Yi County, and arrived at Bintu County, news came that the Xianbei army was attacking Pingzhou.However, the news that the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies attacked the northern border, Bingzhou, and Youzhou at the same time did not spread among the people.

As soon as they heard the news that Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Pingzhou was attacked, Lu Wei found Xu Junfan and Zuo Yi and advised them, "The Xianbei army has gone south, otherwise we should not leave yet and stay in Pingzhou, protected by the city. It’s safer than being in the wild.”

Lu Wei is a very friendly person. From the previous reception to the interactions during the transportation of grain, he has become very familiar with people like Chang'an.

Xu Junfan's eyes showed consideration.

Zuo Yi held a different opinion, "No, we must transport the tax and food back to Chang'an as soon as possible!"

Lu Wei tried to persuade him a few words, but he couldn't be persuaded.

Xu Junfan could only say that they needed to discuss and let Lu Wei leave first.

After Lu Wei left, Xu Junfan asked Zuo Yi, "What Lu Wei just said makes sense, but you rejected it completely. What do you think?"

"Lu Wei's words make sense, but have you ever thought about how long we will be trapped if we stay in Pingzhou? If Pingzhou's food runs out, will tax food be used?"

Xu Junfan: That will definitely be used.

Zuo Yi then said, "In addition, I think we should take advantage of the fact that there are soldiers and cities in the north to stop the Xianbei army for us, and it is best to leave as soon as possible. As long as we leave Youzhou, we will not be afraid when we enter the border of Jizhou. .”

Lu Wei was called over by Xu Junfan and told him their decision to continue transporting grain back to Chang'an.

Lu Wei looked anxious and helpless. Why didn't each of these people listen to the advice?
