For them, if it weren't for their status, they would have started cursing long ago.
Who among those who serve in the army doesn’t have a temper?
But what I said today.
The deputy generals understood some truths: even if they did not choose to share the hardships with the soldiers, as long as they could win the battle and let their soldiers risk their lives, they were still worthy of respect.
Of course, this does not mean that they do not agree with the ideas of Marquis Shenwu.
It was only under the influence of Song Hongzhi that he began to agree with this point.
As a coach, you not only have to win battles.
More importantly, we must protect the lives of our soldiers.
Although he can't be said to love his soldiers like his own sons, he definitely does his job conscientiously.
At this moment, the deputy generals did not speak, and all stood silently behind him.
Song Hongzhi raised his head and looked towards Gaoping City not far away.
What he hoped was that King Gaoyang would know how to deal with current affairs.
otherwise.
Once you do it yourself, I won’t be polite!
At the same time, in Gaoping City, inside the palace hall.
All the ministers of Gaoyang State gathered together, each with a look of fear on their face, and the hall was in chaos.
"Shut up, everyone!" At this time, Gaoyang King Li Chengbing shouted from the royal chair in the hall.
For a moment, everyone shut up, lowered their heads, and dared not speak.
But after Li Chengbing shouted.
He didn't say anything either.
He just looked at his ministers, sitting dejectedly on the throne.
Just this morning, while I was still enjoying the delicious food and watching the dance, I suddenly heard the news that the Wei army was approaching the city and the capital was under siege.
At first, Li Chengbing thought he had heard wrongly, but he soon thought of the previous battle of Licheng, and felt that the army that came to the royal capital this time should be the one that broke through Licheng.
Because I had received news before and knew that the Wei army was very small in number, I thought it was no big deal.
But soon, someone reported back that there were 50,000 people surrounding the royal capital.
For a while.
He was frightened and quickly ran to the top of the city wall to take a look.
Sure enough, there was a dense army under the city, holding the dragon flag of the Wei Dynasty, ready to attack at any time!
Li Chengbing never dreamed that why the Wei army would appear in the royal capital?
Later, he heard a series of military reports.
Know this Wei army.
In recent days, they have been attacking cities and capturing strongholds with unstoppable force.
Now, dozens of cities in Gaoping City have fallen.
Although it was not controlled by the Wei Dynasty, it was no longer able to fight.
Finally, Li Chengbing faced the reality, that is, the current royal capital is in danger.
The entire Gaoyang Kingdom was on the brink of destruction.
In a panic.
He quickly summoned the ministers in the capital to discuss countermeasures.
But what he didn't expect was that those ministers were more afraid than he was.
Even the number of ministers standing in the court today is one-third less than in the past.
As for the reason, Li Chengbing could naturally guess that those who usually expressed their loyalty had been so frightened that they didn't even dare to go to court...
However, the most important thing now is not these, but how to make the ministers get along with each other and deal with the problem.
It’s a pity that the whole morning has passed and no solution has been found.
The whole hall was noisy.
Out of helplessness, fear, and anger, he told everyone to shut up.
But what then?
Li Chengbing himself had no choice.
"Your Majesty," a minister stepped forward and said immediately, "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty. As I said before, wait for news from the Crown Prince. He still has nearly 200,000 troops at his command."
"The Wei army currently only has 50,000 soldiers, and they've penetrated deep into our territory, with no support from behind. As soon as the Crown Prince's army arrives, this situation will surely be resolved!"
"Yes, my king, let's not worry. There is still enough food in the capital to last for a while."
At this time, some Gaoyang ministers came out and spoke.
Obviously, it was just as Song Hongzhi expected.
They placed all their hopes on Li Zai.
Li Chengbing nodded after hearing these words.
right!
As long as the prince comes back, everything will be fine.
"Report!"
But at this moment, a member of the clan suddenly burst into the hall, dropped to his knees, and cried out in horror, "Your Majesty, the latest military report: All the food and fodder in Granary City has been burned, and the army led by the Crown Prince has been dispersed. Now, there are less than 70,000 men left. They are resting in Fucheng, but due to a lack of food and fodder, the army cannot move forward. The Crown Prince has sent this special military report, requesting Your Majesty to find a way to raise more food and fodder... Otherwise, the army may mutiny soon..."
Buzz!
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Everyone's eyes widened and a chill ran down their spines.
King Li Chengbing of Gaoyang, who was sitting on the throne, was trembling all over.
There were nearly 200,000 troops, but now there are less than 70,000 left.
Especially since the food supply in Granary City is gone...
Right now.
His face turned pale and he was speechless.
You must know that those food and fodder were collected at the cost of huge manpower and material resources, and they were all burned just like that.
And now, the prince actually said that he needs to raise some more...
Li Chengbing knew that this was impossible.
Because of Gaoyang's current national strength, it is impossible to do it in a short period of time.
More importantly, outside the capital, the 50,000-strong Wei army is approaching the city...
