The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1993 Training disciples in the Jinluan Palace

Fang Yun stood in the Jinluan Palace and listened quietly to General Li's account of what happened.

The northwest, north and northeast of Jingguo are collectively called the three sides. The soldiers of Jingguo in these three sides are not only the most elite soldiers of Jingguo, but also among the strongest in the entire human race.

The three sides were defeated, and only tens of thousands of veterans of the million-strong army retreated to the Sanlian War Fort to recuperate, and most of the soldiers in the Sanlian War Fort were recruits who had not participated in the war.

Those hundreds of thousands of veterans were the last elite of Jingguo and the last spark of fire.

Since yesterday, the barbarians have surrounded the three sides and left one side, leaving the Sanlian War Fort with a way to escape to the south. This is an extremely cruel and vicious plan. Not only can it make the new soldiers of the Sanlian War Fort lose their morale and have no intention of defending, it may even turn the siege into a pursuit war, which is more deadly.

The most vicious thing is that the barbarians want to turn the Sanlian War Fort into a bottomless pit and a meat grinder, so that the army of Jingguo will continue to come to support from afar, and then continue to strangle the living forces of Jingguo here, and then they can easily break through Ning'an County and Yuyang Pass, march straight into the capital.

Nowadays, there are 20 million barbarians gathered outside the Sanlian War Fort alone, among which six of the ten most elite tribes of the barbarians are here, there are 54 great barbarian kings, and countless barbarian kings. Even if Jingguo goes all out, it can't compete. It either escapes or relies on the most powerful capital to fight to the death.

In other places, the barbarian tribes burned, killed, looted, and began to march towards Ning'an City.

After the main force of the barbarians broke through the Sanlian War Fort, all the barbarian armies will gather outside Ning'an City.

Jingguo now has limited military strength. In addition to the capital, Ning'an City and Yuyang Pass can only be defended with all their strength, because Jingguo has been exhausted in recent years and cannot defend two places at once.

For the current Jing State, the importance of Ning'an City has surpassed Yuyang Pass.

Even ordinary scholars who do not understand military tactics have seen that the battle outside Ning'an City will determine the survival of Jing State in the future.

The current battle outside the Sanlian War Fort is the prelude to the Battle of Ning'an.

If it is an ordinary war, the Grand Marshal's Office and the monarch can decide everything, and other civil officials can only intervene, but the current war involves all aspects, and the left prime minister's faction took the opportunity to stir up trouble, but it is impossible to eliminate the left prime minister's faction at this time.

Whether it is scholars or ordinary people in Jing State, there is a polarization. Some people insist on resisting the barbarians and believe that Jing State still has hope, but there are also quite a few people who believe that Jing State will lose and advocate retreat, or flee to Wu State, or flee to Qing State, and finally ask the Holy Court to take action.

Now, the struggle in the court has become white-hot, and the war faction and the escape faction have torn their faces.

Fang Yun frowned and glanced at the officials who were arguing endlessly. Ten officials accused each other. At first, only two people argued in pairs. Later, those who had spare energy occasionally accused others. This scene seemed very ridiculous to outsiders, but it was the most common thing in the court.

"The capital is the foundation of a country and cannot be discarded!"

"The foundation of a country is the people. If all the people are there, the country will not be destroyed!"

"If the capital is lost, the people's hearts will not exist. If there is no heart, how can we talk about the people?"

"The world is not just Jingguo. If the Holy Court exists, the human race exists. If the human race exists, the people's hearts will exist."

"In that case, please ask Minister He to take up his post in the Holy Court. Jingguo does not need to He Hanlin."

"This is wrong. Military strategists defend the country with knowledge, and my miscellaneous school uses knowledge to stabilize the country. There are thousands of strategies for stabilizing the country and the people. It is not just your one-sided view!"

Miscellaneous scholars have always been involved in a wide range of knowledge, absorbing the strengths of various schools, and are eloquent. Even if they are in a weak position in the court, they never suffer verbal losses.

The Left Prime Minister's party has been able to stand firm in the court until now, declining but not falling.

The Emperor's party once tried every means to replace the Left Prime Minister, but found that no one could match the Left Prime Minister's layout. No one below the Grand Secretary could serve as the Left Prime Minister, and the Grand Secretary now was either too old or inexperienced. The Grand Secretary who could compete with the Left Prime Minister was either preparing to attack the Great Confucian or had become a Great Confucian, and could not threaten the position of the Left Prime Minister at all.

Fang Yun thanked General Li and sat there quietly, thinking about how to save Jingguo and how to save Zhang Poyue.

Suddenly, Sai Zhixue, the Minister of Rites, coughed lightly and said, "You have been arguing for a few days, and you should be tired. Since Fang Xusheng has returned, you should listen to Fang Xusheng's opinion."

The people who were arguing shut up reluctantly.

Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou said: "Fang Xusheng has a broad vision, he can control the Ten Colds and suppress the Jiaosheng. The trivial matters of Jingguo are not worthy of his attention. In my opinion, Fang Xusheng should continue to practice and prepare for the battle between the two worlds. As for the war in Jingguo, I will not bother you."

"Gu Shangshu is right. Fang Xusheng, you are already the Lord of Blood Mang and the Lord of the Yangtze River. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become the Lord of the Ten Colds. In the future, the kings will need to bow to you. After all, the two sides of the Yangtze River only recognize the Lord of the Yangtze River, not the emperors of the six countries."

"You are in a high position now, you must be careful in your words and deeds, otherwise there will always be villains who will slander you for wanting to seize a country and proclaim yourself the king!"

"Fang Yun is a dragon of all worlds, how can he travel in Jingguo?"

The people of the left prime minister's party flattered him, leaving the emperor's party speechless and could only watch.

Since the Imperial Party and Fang Yun were originally solid allies, they could not come out to deny Fang Yun at this time, but the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party praised Fang Yun in name, but in fact they had sinister intentions and were trying to sow discord.

Fang Yun glanced coldly at the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party. Those officials wanted to continue talking, but they could not resist the majesty in Fang Yun's eyes. It was like seeing the master of a world, like seeing the king of a river. Their hearts were seen through, and they instinctively shut their mouths.

"I am the governor of the two states and the King of Ji, and I am still a minister of the Kingdom of Jing. Why do you say this? As for plotting against the Kingdom of Jing, plotting to come and face the demon saint Lang Lu directly, or giving up the holy way under the pressure of national destiny? If you continue to speak so rudely, this saint will show you what the Lord of the Yangtze River is! What is the Lord of the Blood Mang!" Fang Yun's tone was flat, but full of strong confidence.

The officials of the Zuo Xiang party looked at each other, and no one dared to refute.

In the past, these officials could speak eloquently and make unreasonable demands, but now, Fang Yun dared to destroy the inheritance of the Jiao Sheng Palace. If he continued to entangle in one thing repeatedly, Fang Yun would really dare to turn against him.

Today's Zuo Xiang can no longer suppress Fang Yun, who is also a university scholar.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace suddenly changed. The atmosphere of the Zuo Xiang party, which was arrogant before, suddenly dissipated. Fang Yun seemed to have become the master of this place, looking down on the world.

Jing Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials gradually relaxed. They looked at Fang Yun and finally understood that Fang Yun was no longer the same as before. He was no longer the Fang Yun who had to use all means to cut off the wings of the left prime minister, but a powerful leader who could suppress all the left prime minister's party with his own strength.

Jing Jun said: "If Fang Aiqing likes this dragon throne, I will definitely learn from the ancient sages and practice abdication."

Fang Yun smiled at Jing Jun and said: "Why, Jingguo is in trouble, you stubborn disciple want to give up?"

Jing Jun frowned and said: "I'm a little tired."

"Sit down even if you are tired!"

"Disciple will remember the words of my teacher."
