Han Tong was stunned: "Your Majesty, why do you say that? I am your Majesty's general. Naturally, I have to share the worries of your Majesty and the country. How could I abandon the city and flee?"
When everyone heard General Han say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that General Han did not defect to the King of Beiliang, and what the soldier said just now was all nonsense.
The prince was also very happy. With General Han around, everyone was not as frightened as before.
The emperor was overjoyed and immediately said, "That's good. You scared me half to death just now! Come, give General Han a seat!"
Someone immediately brought a stool and asked Han Tong to sit down and talk.
Han Tong looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces in the hall, and then he saw Princess Ruyi standing aside in military uniform, and he felt very strange.
He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with everyone?"
The emperor immediately told him the report from the soldiers who had just returned, saying that the army of the King of Northern Liang was approaching and that General Han had already rebelled.
Han Tong was dumbfounded after hearing this. This damn soldier actually dared to slander him, saying that he had surrendered to the King of Beiliang. This was really outrageous.
He stood up at the same time, clasped his fists towards Zhou Bin and said, "Brother, thank you for defending me just now."
Zhou Bin also clasped his fists in return: "General, you are welcome. I just didn't believe this matter, so I told everyone about it."
Han Tong was very fond of Zhou Bin because of his handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing.
At this time, the people who were sent out to investigate came back one after another. Through their reports, everyone knew the real situation.
The King of Northern Liang had indeed led a large army to invade, and was not far from here, perhaps thirty miles away.
However, it seems that the army of King Beiliang is not as large as previously said. The most important thing is that the previous soldiers have indeed been bribed by King Beiliang.
That's why he lied about military intelligence in an attempt to create panic.
The emperor was greatly surprised. It was horrible that the soldiers before him had been bribed.
After investigation, it was discovered that it was a deputy general who was in charge of gathering military intelligence. He had been bribed by the spy sent into the city by the King of Beiliang, which was why this happened.
The emperor was furious and ordered the deputy general to be executed immediately, and the rebellious soldiers were also executed.
This matter finally came to a conclusion, but the threat they are facing has not been resolved yet.
Now the King of Beiliang is leading his army just thirty miles away, and they currently have only 50,000 troops available. How to resist the attack of the King of Beiliang remains a problem.
General Han knew that the emperor and his ministers were very worried, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, my Lords, you don't have to worry. Although we only have 50,000 men now, they are all brave warriors with strong fighting power. We can definitely defeat the Northern Liang King's army of more than 100,000!"
Although he said this, he was actually very worried.
He was ready to sacrifice his life for his country, but he could not guarantee that he could win.
Zhou Bin, who had been silent until now, said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to keep the capital safe."
When everyone saw that Zhou Bin was speaking again, they all looked at him seriously, wondering what his plan was.
The emperor was very excited and immediately said, "If you have any plan, just tell me."
Zhou Bin told his plan with a smile. Everyone was stunned after hearing it. This plan was really too bold.
After all, this is a risky thing, not something that ordinary people can think of.
The crown prince was the first to stand up and object: "Father, this kid's words are outrageous and he has no manners of a minister. Please punish him for deceiving the emperor!"
When Princess Ruyi saw that the Crown Prince was the first to object, she was immediately furious.
She immediately said loudly: "Brother, what do you mean? I think this young master's idea is very good, why not?"
The Minister of War immediately spoke up, "Princess, please forgive me for being blunt, but this man is indeed rebellious! He actually dared to let Your Majesty take risks in person. If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences?"
The other ministers also had the same opinion. They all felt that the strategy Zhou Bin had just mentioned was too risky and simply unacceptable.
But General Han looked at Zhou Bin with approval, wondering why he had not thought of such a plan.
This plan does seem a bit risky, but it is very useful.
In the current situation, if he doesn't do this, he really doesn't know what other way there is.
Therefore, two opinions have formed in the court. One faction is Princess Ruyi and General Han, who agree with Zhou Bin's strategy.
One group was the crown prince and other ministers, who opposed Zhou Bin's plan.
The emperor sat there listening quietly without saying anything.
At this time, he asked, "Fellow students, what do you think of this plan?"
