Chapter 115: The whole country prepares for war

After the war report was submitted to the capital, Emperor Liang read the war report word by word in front of all civil and military officials, and the government immediately became furious. Although the two countries have begun to get into a feud since Princess Xia Tang died suddenly on her wedding night, there has been no obvious action in two months. Unexpectedly, Xia Tang broke out on the New Year's Eve night, and with a scum like Liu Yi, he not only lost two important southeastern towns, but also made Jiangzhou a

The hell on earth was destroyed after a hundred years of operation. The only remaining Jinchang City faced the siege of Xia Tang alone, and the situation of Liyang granary located in the center of the triangle was even more critical. Once Jinchang was lost, not only the southeast granary of the Liang Dynasty would be handed over, but it also means that the southeast gate of Daliang was opened. Crossing Jinchang City, there were fertile fields. On it were Anzhou, Minzhou, Qianyang and other cities, all of which were rich territory and the main source of the Liang Dynasty's national taxation.

"Father!" King Ling was most uneasy when he heard that Liu Yi was connected to foreign countries and caused the loss of two cities. Liu Yi was one of his gang members. Emperor Liang knew this. He was lucky enough to save his life because of the fraud case of the imperial examination. Since he was demoted to Jiangzhou, King Ling had already planned to give up this pawn completely. But who would have thought that he would cause such a big disaster? He had to stand up and prove his innocence.

"As the governor of Jiangzhou, Liu Yi actually made Jiangzhou slaughtered the city and must be severely punished! In addition, only Jinchang City is left in the three towns in the southeast. Although the god-killing cavalry is the best in the three armies, the number of people is limited and it is still acceptable to protect themselves. However, if you want to repel the invading enemy, you may not be able to defeat them!"

"This is obvious!" Emperor Liang felt that King Ling said a lot of nonsense, and said to the court officials with dissatisfaction: "The Tang Dynasty actually massacred the city, so it is so openly provoking me. If I can't repay the color, how can I deal with myself in front of the countries!"

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has long coveted my borders. This time, he used the princess' death to invade our country as an excuse to provoke the war, and even committed evil deeds of massacre of the city. He must fight to the head-on! For the sake of this, Shen Yongnian should mobilize troops to increase his defense in Anzhou and support each other with Jinchang City, so that he can protect my southeastern gate!" Cai Quan advised.

"Father, what Cai Xiang said is very true!" King Xiang Xiang firmly fought. "However, the Chiwei Army experienced the battle to destroy Hu, and its vitality has not yet recovered. The Guangyuan Army should not move without any action. I also asked the Fourth Brother to prepare for the battle. After all, the Xuanjia Army is the army with the strongest combat power in Daliang at present, and it will definitely be able to give Xia Tang a headache!"

"King Xiang's words were reasonable. I immediately issued an edict, ordering King Yu as the general of the expedition and Shen Yongnian as the deputy general of the expedition to station Anzhou and regain the lost land! The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue are doing their best to provide military supplies, and those who are delayed in military affairs will be executed immediately!"

"Father! My son asked me to be responsible for military escorts. This time, my son was responsible for the country's hatred and family grudges. As a prince, I will be responsible for going to the battlefield in person to boost morale, let the soldiers fight bravely to serve the country! I hope my father will allow me!" King Xiang's righteous aura was very pleased with Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang immediately approved what he asked.

After the court meeting, the most important war in the past ten years started in the Liang Dynasty, and the whole country was on alert. The Liang Dynasty, as a war machine, began to operate efficiently: food, weapons, horses, and armor were continuously transported to the southeast. The Chiwei Army rushed to Anzhou overnight. The Xuanjia Army immediately dispatched personnel from the entire army to form an army to reinforce the Chiwei Army.

This is the eighth day of the 19th year of Liang Li. Just eight days passed. The people had to stop the celebration of the New Year in advance and shifted their focus from visiting relatives and friends to the war between the two countries.

Although the civil and military officials were so angry that they disturbed their annual vacation, they had to return to their position immediately and do their best to fulfill their responsibilities for this battle. Among them, Mu Jin was the most worried. He had to handle official duties at Dali Temple every day, and at the same time used all his personal resources to inquire about the situation in Hanzhou. He did not hear the death of his son in the military information and war report. He still held hope, hoping that Mu Qingyuan was just captured. He was tortured by various trivial matters and worries in the yamen. When he returned to the mansion, he even wanted to comfort Mrs. Mu, who was crying, was much thinner in just a few days.

Qingshan Academy

Master Shiraishi also received the battle report, so he summoned all his six sons to Shangdetang.

"You can take a look at the war situation in the southeast first!" Shiraish handed the battle report to the six people, and soon everyone basically grasped the situation in the southeast.

"The next Tang Dynasty's surprise attack was really unexpected. Although it is not clear how they broke through Hanzhou City for the time being, the time node was really a high-speed chess." This time it was not Ye Kai who was slandering and speaking first, but Chu Kuan.

"And in just three days, he conquered two cities in a row, and even massacred Jiangzhou City, saying that Liu Yi had an affair with foreign countries, but I always felt that there was a problem with this." Shen Ming said, Ye Kai took over the conversation, "What's the problem? Liu Yi is a narrow-minded person, and he was originally a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he was demoted to Jiangzhou to be the governor. He was indignant. The Tang Dynasty promised him a great benefit, and it was understandable that he led his troops into the city!"

"Many people in the court know that Liu Yi is His Highness of the Prince of Ling. If the imperial examination fraud was not for Ling Wang's pleading, he would not have escaped the beheading. Now that doing this is a kindness to repay his grudge and abstain from his own way of retreat. He would never be able to return in this life, but his family is all in the capital!" Helian Ping also felt something was strange.

"It is not impossible for such a villain to abandon his family and son for his personal glory!" Chu Hanqian condemned: "As a court official, he did not take his family and country into his heart at all. If I see it, I will definitely kill him!"

"Hey, don't let him dirty your hands," Ye Kai looked at Chu Hanqian. "Leave it to me like murder."

"The Master asked us to come but was planning to let us go to the southeast?" Yin Li asked the first question.

The Master had never interrupted the conversation between several people before. After listening quietly, he finally waited for someone to ask a question. He stroked his white beard slowly. "I have been waiting for the part of speaking."

"Teacher, look at what you said. You have always taught us a lesson!" Ye Kai said so smoothly, but his body was still standing upright honestly.

"I asked you to come because I, Daliang, have encountered the most dangerous moment in decades. As disciples of Qingshan Academy, it is time for you to come out to serve the country. News came from the palace that Your Majesty has asked the Chiwei Army and Xuanjia Army to work together to garrison Anzhou. I need you to help from the side."

"Master just tells me!"

"Shen Ming, Helianping, Yin Li, you three set out to Anzhou immediately; Ye Kai, Chu Hanqian, you two go to Shuoyang City; Chu Kuang stayed in the academy and handled everything with full authority."

"Master, why do you want us to go to Shuoyang? These are completely different directions?" Ye Kai was a little confused, while Chu Hanqian was dissatisfied with the Master's arrangement. "Master, why are we together?"
