Jiankang (Nanjing), the emperor camped.

In the meeting hall, Prime Minister Zhang Jun's face turned livid with the appearance of Jin Jun.

As long as you hold on, everything will be fine.

The prime minister's previous guarantee became a huge joke.

Liu Shiguang, the runaway general who had been deposed earlier, was now standing in the main hall.

It can be seen how critical the war situation has become?

All those who know military knowledge in Healthy City are gathered here.

"On the ninth day of January, the Jin army defeated Han Shizhong's reinforcements, totaling 10,000 people."

The people from the Ministry of War reported the latest battle report in a low voice.

Since the appearance of Wanyan Wushu, more than 50,000 reinforcements have been scattered and defeated.

The generals on the front line can see that they are calling for reinforcements at the encirclement point.

The Song army that left the city and rushed on the road found it extremely difficult to compete with Wanyan Wushu's elite cavalry.

Even the Yue family army tried their best to use the city wall and geographical location to deal with the Jin people.

They would not give up their own side by fighting where others are best. advantage.

However, Shouzhou City guarded by Li Qiong cannot be easily lost.

"Shouzhou is the gateway to the official family. If the city of Shouzhou is lost.

The Jin army will immediately appear in Chuzhou, even outside Jiankang City!"

Liu Shiguang stood up at this time and said with cupped hands.

It is precisely because he can see the strategic key points clearly every time that he runs away again and again.

Liu Chan on the dragon throne is no longer as panicked as he was a few days ago.

His face at this moment Above, I feel a little more melancholy and confused.

It’s so difficult to be an emperor.

Especially an emperor in troubled times.

You don’t know what bad news you will wake up in the middle of the night?

"Everyone, whether to fight or to retreat, how to fight and how to retreat?

Everyone expresses his or her opinion, let’s talk about it."

Liu Chan, who didn't have much military talent, had to rely on the people in front of him.

"Reporter, Lieutenant Yue's reinforcements will arrive in ten days!

As long as we can defend it," the general below was interrupted by the civil servant before he finished speaking.

"Absurd, Yue Fei, Yue Fei.

If he was really so capable, why didn't he expect the Puppet Qi to attack!"

The counterattack against Yue Fei has begun.

"Yes, it was his idea to rectify the Huaixi Army.

The pseudo-Qi attack seized this opportunity."

The reason is a bit far-fetched. After all, the enemy may attack at any time. But among the civil servants, this statement immediately became noisy.

Everyone was in a hurry, attributing the cause of this crisis to Yue Fei.

How good it is to maintain the status quo!

Why? Are you so worried now?

So, it’s all Yue Fei’s fault!

"Be quiet, the discussion now is whether to fight or retreat!

If anything else, don’t say anything else."

Liu Chan couldn't help but have a headache. He finally discovered it.

The ability of these civil servants to fight for power and attack dissidents is comparable to Yue Fei's ability to fight.

"Officials and ministers thought that temporarily transferring to Lin'an could solve the crisis.

The Jin's attack is too sudden, but as long as you are at the rear.

The puppet Qi and Jin armies will only be overwhelmed by the Song army."

Liu Shiguang saw Wanyan Wushu's idea of ​​​​accomplishing his victory in one battle. He immediately proposed a plan to escape.

Of course, in name, it was a strategic transfer.

"Transferring to Lin'an had a huge impact on the morale of the soldiers at the front."

Prime Minister Zhang Jun's tone of voice was no longer as decisive as before.

Liu Shiguang, who heard this, said plausibly

"Mr. Zhang, what we are discussing now is His Majesty’s safety.

If Jiankang is in crisis, wouldn't it have a big impact on morale?"

In his impression, the Huaixi Army's fighting will is very weak, and it is lucky that it can survive until now. Maybe there will be military information about the fall of Shouzhou soon.

Once the door is opened, the Jin Army can march straight in!

"But."

Zhang Jun is very resistant to retreat.

Do you have to regurgitate all the previous results?

Moreover, morale is low. If the Jin people make progress smoothly and the weaknesses of the defense line are exposed, it may cause a chain reaction. The number of the Jin army has increased from five to five.

Ten thousand people will become 100,000 or 200,000 people!

"Officials, I think otherwise.

As long as you are at the rear, there will be no psychological burden on the frontline soldiers.

You can fight against the Puppet Qi and the Jin with peace of mind!

After all, this is a raid, and the enemy's food, grass and baggage are insufficient.

Over time, they will inevitably collapse.

All the towns that were conquered before will be spit out!"

Liu Chan fell into silence after hearing this.

His left hand was his belief in Yue Fei and his belief that Li Qiong and the others could hold on to Shouzhou.

His right hand was his retreat, towards Lin'an (Hangzhou) further back.

In front of Liu Chan, an official, was the endless fog of war.

He We don’t know the real-time location of the enemy, let alone the real-time location of our own people.

How many people are there, the condition of their weapons, the amount of food and grass, and their morale?

None of these are known. Some are just vague descriptions in battle reports.

Shouzhou City may have There are more than 100,000 enemies, and there may be tens of thousands of Jin troops.

We are defending the city, and we don’t know the situation inside the city.

I don’t know how many people are left to fight.

I don’t know how long we can defend.

The narrow channels for obtaining information make Liu Chan unaware. How to choose.

Some people say that Shouzhou can be defended, while others say that Shouzhou will fall soon.

Everyone has their own reasons.

It all sounds reasonable.

But can it be defended?

Everything is hidden in the fog of war.

"Let's go, let's go."

Liu Chan waved his hands feebly.

The people below advised him.

"Officials hope to make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Officials can't delay it!"

After a while, the civil servants and military generals dispersed one after another. Liu Chan sat alone in the main hall, thinking about his next stay.

"Father, it’s so difficult."

He couldn't help but miss Zhuge Liang.

With his father-in-law here, he never had to worry about making decisions.

Zhuge Liang would decide everything, and the rest was execution.

Even after Wuzhangyuan, there were still Zhuge Liang's successors making decisions.

They would all give their preferences. , instead of throwing out all the information.

Let Liu Chan decide alone.

Sitting alone on the dragon chair, he recalled his days in Shuhan.

Boundless memories rolled in.

Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun.

The faces of these people appeared in my mind one by one.

……

Jiankang.

The situation is turbulent and people are uneasy.

There were rumors everywhere that the Jin army was coming.

The number was blown from 50,000 to 100,000 to 200,000.

It was as if the entire Jin army was dispatched.

Fear and uneasiness linger in everyone's mind.

Many wealthy families were ready to flee south after hearing the news.

The city gate is full of people with their families or their residences going to the south.

They may go to relatives in the south, or they may simply run away with their families.

The civil servants and generals in the court are only a little better than the common people.

They knew that the Jin people had only sent out 50,000 people for the time being, and they had no information on the rest.

The next day, when they arrived at the emperor's camp, they suddenly discovered it.

What about the official family?

Where has Liu Chan gone?

Whether it was Prime Minister Zhang Jun and others who persuaded and persisted.

Liu Shiguang and others, who were still planning to retreat south, were all dumbfounded.

The emperor's residence in the camp was empty!

Such a big official family, where are the people?

There are so many imperial guards inside and outside the city, how can they be lost?

An idea immediately exploded among the officials.

Hey, one of the officials ran away first!

At least take us with you!
