Xu looked at Yang Yi with a deep look. As for this matter, he and Yang Yi were dependent on each other.

At the beginning, he was also one of the people who strongly advocated Zhong Jianzhong's Western Expedition. It can be said that without his support, the resolution of the Western Expedition would most likely not be passed. If Zhong Jianzhong was defeated, he would also have to bear great responsibility.

"What do you think about Ren Zhi?"

"Xu Shumi, things have come to this point, and it is useless to be anxious. When I was in Shaanxi, I fought side by side with Zhong Jianzhong many times. Based on my understanding of him, he should not be defeated so badly. Zhong Jianzhong used troops and practiced many tricks. Maybe he had any backup plan. I hope Xu Shumi could watch the changes."

To be honest, although Yang Yi comforted Xu Jiang so much, he actually had no idea. After all, the current situation in Zhong Jianzhong is indeed too bad.

"Watch the change? Grand Secretary Yang may have misunderstood. I am not afraid of taking on this responsibility, but because of the defeat of Zhong Jianzhong, the situation in the Western Regions is not optimistic;

The prestige established by our Song Dynasty in various tribes before will be lost. No one can guarantee whether the Uighur tribes in Xizhou will turn to Hei Khan because of this;

More importantly, if Zhongjianzhong cannot withdraw the 20,000 troops from the Western Expedition, then Gua and Sha states will no longer have any defense forces, and Akmore will take advantage of the victory to attack. At that time, Gua and Sha states will be lost, and war will start to rise again in the Hexi Corridor. At that time, will Grand Secretary Yang be ready to launch a large army to conquer Hexi?"

Xu Jiang's words happened to hit Yang Yi's soft flank. If Xu did as expected, will the Song Dynasty attack Yan Yun or attack Hexi again?

The Yellow-headed Uighur tribes have always followed the strong. If the Song Dynasty even lost Guasha and other states, it is expected that these tribes will immediately turn around and shake their tails and beg for mercy to join the ranks of plundering the Hexi Corridor.

Yang Yi asked calmly, "How does Xu Shumi plan to deal with it?"

Xu Jiang replied: "What the official means is to immediately request the Empress Dowager to transfer the troops from Gan, Su and other states to Yumen Pass to set up defenses. In any case, Guasha and other states cannot be lost."

If you really do what Xu Jiang said, this matter will be in trouble.

There are not many garrisons in Gansu and Su prefectures. If they are transferred to Yumen Pass, if these two prefectures change, the consequences will be even more unimaginable;

And this possibility does not exist. How long did the Song Dynasty take back the Hexi Corridor? The people's hearts did not completely surrender, and it is not surprising that the garrison will cause trouble if they take time.

But if the troops are not dispatched and the entire army of Zhongjianzhong is really wiped out by then. Guasha and other states have no soldiers to guard it, and Akmore takes advantage of the victory and conquering Guasha and the two states will be like taking advantage of the situation, which is easier.

Yang Yi couldn't help but curse the backward communications of this era. Tokyo is thousands of miles away from Yumentou. There is no way to know what happened to Zhong Jianzhong. All the news sent back was from ten days and half a month ago.

What happened again in the past ten days, ghosts don’t know, it’s simply crazy.

"Xu Shumi's concerns are not without reason, so it's a blessing for Xu Shumi."

Hexi really cannot be misunderstood, so Yang Yi had to support Xu Jiang's decisions.

Then Yang Yi said goodbye and left the Privy Council. On the way back to the Bachelor's College, he kept thinking about countermeasures, but almost fell down when he went down the steps.

Shortly after returning to his signing room, Ma Hanqing followed him.

"Sir..." Ma Hanqing looked at Yang Yi with some concern.

He was Yang Yi's guard, and everyone in the world knew that he was Yang Yi's direct descendant. If Yang Yi fell, Ma Hanqing would have no other words to say. Others don't even need any reason to kick him to the ends of the world.

So he empathizes with the pressure Yang Yi is under at this moment.

But Yang Yi suddenly showed a cheerful smile, and he seemed to have just been freed from the constraints and was stretching his body and mind to the fullest. Ma Hanqing was so surprised.

"Sir, have you got a proper countermeasure?" Ma Hanqing asked hurriedly.

"No." Yang Yi answered very simply, as if everything had nothing to do with him. The smile on his face became even stronger.

"Since there is no countermeasure, why are you..." Ma Hanqing, full of hope, couldn't help but collapse.

"Why can't I let go of my heart? Can I rush over and clean up the mess in the Western Regions?"

"cannot."

"Can I tell Yelu Yanxi not to do anything, and hurry up and go back to Beijing?"

"cannot."

"Will it be over? No matter how worried I am, no matter how entangled I can only wait for news at the moment. So what if Zhong Jianzhong is defeated? So what if Yelu Yanxi's entire army is wiped out? The sky cannot fall! So what if you and I are dismissed?

Zhifangguan, Li Yizhong, Bao Yi, Xie Dongsheng, Liu Laohu, Zhong Pu... Forget it, don't need to count it in detail. Anyway, this large bunch of people is still my own people, I don't believe anyone can move them all. Now, even if I don't have any official position or any position, I will still be influential."

"Thinking of this, I wouldn't have the great achievements of destroying the two countries, reforming taxes and other great achievements. Even if the entire army of Zhongjianzhong is really wiped out, the adults will at most be demoted and punished, and they will not be dismissed from office or title."

"That's all. If a person dies, he will die in the sky. If he doesn't die for thousands of years, as long as I'm not dead, he will have the opportunity to make a comeback. In life, who can avoid any setbacks and get up after falling down;

It would be ridiculous to worry about myself now. Besides, hasn’t Zhong Jianzhong been wiped out yet?

Beautiful family, strange family, fierce family, hahahaha... As long as there is no conclusive news that the army is wiped out by Zhongjianzhong, I will still have confidence in him. Perhaps, he is just more ruthless than I thought."

Yang Yi really let it go. After all, he has been in the process for many years, cultivated a lot of connections, and has a lot of credit. Even if he doesn't rely on Liu Qingjing's relationship, he is confident that he can pass it.

It doesn’t matter if you have all the credits of the past. At worst, I will destroy his three or two countries and make them back.

Seeing that he smiled at the heart of his heart, Ma Hanqing couldn't help but relax his tense heartstrings and said with a smile: "Sir, we should do something, it's not a big deal to sit and wait like this."

"Hanqing is wrong this time. Nowadays, you are not as good as a quiet person. Before there is no definite news on Zhongjian, the more you do, the more you are likely to make mistakes;

As for Xu Shumi's suggesting that the troops from Gansu and Suzhou were transferred to Yumen Pass, they will arrange this matter. I don't need to intervene more;

After Shen Qingzhi recalculated the project progress, he would immediately report the merit. Once this table arrived, I believe that Xianggong Zhang and the others would all relax in a secret way;

Haha, I figured it out. You can ignore it if you fight for life and death outside. The key is to manage the river;

As long as the river control project is over and he occupy Guazhou, I will dare to say that I will step on his Bashin Shaguon; if he attacks Taiyuan, I will be able to drive him to the Arctic Ocean."

"Sir, where is the Arctic Ocean?"

"Uh, I don't know. Anyway, who caused trouble for me, I would chase him to a ghost land that no one knows to feed the bears, hahaha... By the way, where has Duan Heyu been? How was the matter arranged?"

"Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. Duan Heyu is about to arrive in Changsha at this moment. He has already sent someone to pretend to be a member of the Gao family in Dali. He is waiting in Hengyang. After robbing the person, he will take him to Dali. If the time is not enough, he will enter the Dali border. He will disguise himself as a bandit, rob him again, and throw him into the cave for a month or two."

After hearing Ma Hanqing's words, Yang Yi smiled again. Ma Hanqing's arrangements were very comprehensive. Especially after entering the Dali border, he arranged for people to dress up as bandits to rob the road. No matter how smart Duan Heyu was, he probably wouldn't have thought it was for the Song Dynasty.

Very good, this means that Ma Hanqing has become a talent and can stand alone.

"Okay, I may feel uncomfortable later. I have to take a few days off to recuperate. Just notify me in time if there is anything. For the rest, no matter how urgent the storm is, you don't need to pay attention to it. Just do your own thing with peace of mind."

"Yes, sir."

Yang Yi really said that he would get sick. Before the impeachment memorial of all officials flew over, he had already suffered from cold and quickly suffered from wind and cold due to fatigue on the journey, and then took leave to go home to recuperate.

Moreover, he thought the air in the city was not fresh, so he took Qingniang and others to his own village outside the city.

Let's fight, let's fight, let's fight all over the world, who can still fight to Tokyo?

I just urge Shen Qingzhi to work hard, everything else is just a cloud of clouds!

I will first take a fishing rod to catch a few fat fish, and then let’s talk about it after a satisfying taste.

As expected, a large number of officials in the court did impeach Yang Yi the next day, demanding that Yang Yi be held accountable.

After the impeachment of all officials, Empress Dowager Liu and others said calmly: "If Zhong Jianzhong is wiped out, Yang Yi will be held accountable, but now the war in the Western Regions has not yet had a final result. Is it too early to hold Yang Yi accountable?"

All the officials were stunned. Obviously, Empress Dowager Liu was deliberately defending Yang Yi, but this was not important. What was important was that Empress Dowager Liu's words were indebted to refute.

This victory or defeat is common for military strategists. The troops of each unit have suffered a lot of losses. The situation in Zhongjianzhong is also very bad, but it has not been wiped out yet.

As long as the army has not collapsed, there is still a possibility of a counterattack and turning defeat into victory. There are many such battles in history.

In other words, the matter has not been finalized yet, so it is really unreasonable to hold Yang Yi accountable now.

Zhang Dun has never made any statement on this matter. Although he did not suggest that he would send troops to the Western Regions at the beginning, as the prime minister, the matter was nodded in the end. If you really want to investigate it in detail, he is also responsible.

Moreover, although he did not fully support Yang Yi this time, he was not yet at the point of putting in the wrong.

All the officials had nothing to say, but Zhang Dun could no longer remain silent: "Empress Dowager, although the 20,000 troops in Zhong Jianzhong have not suffered much damage, the situation is indeed not optimistic. To prevent it, the old minister thought that it was necessary to increase troops to Shazhou as soon as possible to make up for the current embarrassment of the emptiness of Shazhou's troops."

Empress Dowager Liu asked: "What are your opinions on this?"

What can I have any opinions? Who dares to come out and oppose the increase in troops to Shazhou? Otherwise, if Shazhou is lost by then, wouldn’t it be blamed for losing the land?

General Xu was not a blindly upright person. He did not come forward and propose to increase troops to Shazhou, including his own intentions.

Yang Yi is still supporting Zhong Jianzhong. With Yang Yi's past record, his vision will not be too bad. In other words, Zhong Jianzhong has the possibility of a salted fish turning over.

He was also one of the people who strongly supported the war in the Western Regions. If he came out first to propose to increase troops to the Western Regions, it showed his distrust of Zhong Jianzhong. In other words, it was a veto of his decision at the time. Of course, he would not do such a thing.
