"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

At the dynasty meeting in Weiyang Palace in the capital, a doctor from the Ministry of War knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the thieves in the southwest have already attacked Luzhou. The firearms of the thieves are powerful. Luzhou has struggled to resist. It has been a third time to be anxious to the court!"

"If this continues, at most ten days, Luzhou Prefecture will be defeated..."

Luzhou is the last big city west of the capital. Once Luzhou City is broken, the capital will be fully exposed to the enemy. Before this, in order to prevent Luzhou from falling, Emperor Zhao of Yuan dispatched two Zhechong Prefectures from the imperial guards of the capital to support Luzhou. There were more than 30,000 people in total. Unexpectedly, it could not stop the troops of the Southwest Army. In just a few days, Luzhou City was already shaking.

Emperor Yuan Zhao was sitting on the throne, his face was already very bad.

His mood is very complicated now. On the one hand, he is a little afraid of Li Xin, but on the other hand, he does not know that he should deal with it next. This feeling of powerlessness that makes the young emperor feel extremely uncomfortable.

These days, he has heard too much bad news.

Suizhou is in a hurry, Luzhou is in a hurry, and the enemy is heading straight to the capital...

Emperor Yuan Zhao gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I ordered Pei Jin to lead him to lead 50,000 Ankang Army to support Luzhou. The Ministry of War will start recruiting new soldiers to support Luzhou from now on. In any case, it will block the southwest traitors from the capital!"

"There are not many traitors in the southwest. I have passed my edict to kill a traitor in the southwest and give you twenty stas!"

Generally speaking, you can get a certain amount of rewards when killing enemies on the battlefield. The price is usually two cents of money per person. Now, the Emperor Yuan Zhao's words directly increased the price by ten times.

However, even if it is ten times more, it is still a very cost-effective transaction. The Southwest Military Commission has only 150,000 or 60,000 people, and not all of them have left Shu. There are only about 100,000 people who have left Shu. One person has twenty stagnated coins and killed the Southwest Army, which is only 2 million coins.

Now the dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty is not so decayed that it is uncontrollable. It is not difficult to take out two or three million chunks of cash from the treasury.

After receiving the emperor's decree, the Ministry of War immediately bowed his head and bowed, and then went down to do business quickly.

After the Ministry of War went down, Jingzhao Yin-Yun Zhou Cong came out to report to Chen. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, rumors are everywhere in the capital today. Jingzhao Mansion is not easy to make a decision for a while. Please let Your Majesty decide..."

When things got to this point, they could no longer be concealed.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, news of the southwest rebels defeating the imperial army began to spread in the capital. The news that Xiangyang City was broken into the city for three days was also widely circulated in the capital. In the capital that had been pacified for decades, some panic aura appeared for a long time.

What's even more fatal is that there are many people from Li Xin's Anmen tribe in the capital. Many of the news circulating in the capital were deliberately circulated by people from the Anmen tribe, and public opinion is still fermenting further, and it has reached the point where Jingzhao Mansion is not easy to deal with.

The emperor's face was gloomy and said angrily: "There are only rumors in the capital. All the people who spread rumors will be taken to the Jingzhao Mansion prison for strict interrogation. I will ask Tianmu Supervisor to send someone to cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion, so that the source must be blocked!"

Zhou Cong lowered his head and said with a respectful voice: "I... obey Your Majesty's order."

Emperor Yuan Zhao sat on the throne, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then said, "Transfer my will and immediately summon troops from all over the country to go to Beijing to serve the king, and encircle Li Ni in the southwest!"

The imperial guards in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty were originally about 320,000, but because they had drawn a lot to the southwest in recent years, they sent a lot of southwest troops to block the eastward advance, and there were still 240,000 to 50,000 left.

There are still many local troops in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

For example, the wing army in various places, as well as some dedicated bandits, anti-Japanese troops, and the border troops on the border.

The Xiang army of the Great Jin Dynasty regularly transferred elite troops into the imperial guards of the capital to defend the capital, becoming part of the imperial guards of the imperial guards of the capital. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army in the local area was extremely weak. In addition to the large number of people, one was not equipped and the other was not trained, which was very dissatisfied.

The more than 100,000 people Pei led to attack Hanzhou were the Xiang army in the southwest.

The border troops could not move easily, so they could only summon the Xiang army to serve the king. In fact, even the imperial guards could hardly stop the Southwest Army, the Xiang army in these places was even more unlikely to do anything. The emperor's decree was already very obvious, which was to mobilize the local Xiang army to the capital to be "cannon fodder".

Now the court has figured out what the so-called "sky thunder" in the southwest is, and also knows that the "sky thunder" is not "sky power", but a consumable. Since it is a consumable, it cannot be endless.

As long as these wing troops use the firearms of the Southwest Army, the Southwest Army will no longer threaten the imperial court or the capital.

After the emperor issued several edicts, he left several prime ministers to speak in Weiyang Palace, and then waved his hand a little tired, disbanding the grand dynasty meeting.

At this time, Gong Yang Shu was no longer in the center. The prime minister in charge of Shangshutai was Fangziwei and respectfully walked into the emperor's study.

In the study, the old general, who had white hair and beard, stood with his hands respectfully.

The emperor patted Zhong Xuantong on the shoulder and sighed bitterly: "The old general returned to Beijing from Yunzhou to support his old age. He should not have used the old general no matter what. However, at this moment, there is no more general available in the capital, so he can only ask the old general to take charge of the imperial guards in the capital for a while."

In fact, there are generals available to the imperial guards in the capital. Hou Jingde, the general of the imperial guards left camp, and one of the three heroes of Renchen, served as the imperial guards in the early years. He has been a general in the imperial guards for more than ten years, and his qualifications are sufficient to serve as the general.

Unfortunately, Hou Jingde and Li Xin had such a friendship, so Emperor Yuan Zhao did not dare to use him and invited Zhong Xuantong, who had retired at home, to come out again.

General Zhong coughed and lowered his head and said, "The old minister has received the kindness of the country in the world. He should die for His Majesty."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are more than 200,000 imperial guards in the capital. In addition, the Ankang Army and the remnants of the Hanzhong Army brought back by General Pei, there are more than 300,000 people who can fight. At most, the southwest rebels are only 100,000. I think there is no need to shrink my hands and feet. If I go out in full, I can encircle the southwest rebels. No matter how powerful their firearms are, they may not be useful in the chaos."

To be honest, this method of planting Xuantong is very effective.

The Southwest Army has only 100,000 people. Once surrounded, it will be difficult to deal with the beginning and end and not easy to carry out.

But this method is not that easy.

First of all, 100,000 people would not pour out all the ointment. The Southwest Army would definitely find a city as its garrison and then launch an attack.

Furthermore, Li Xin, who had already thought of this in advance, was following Mu Ying, crazily recruiting prisoners and recruiting new recruits. When the Southwest Army left Shu, there were 100,000 people, but now it is not necessarily the same number.

The emperor frowned, then shook his head and said, "This is too risky. No one knows whether the thieves will make new things. According to my wishes, the old general will still seize the city and defeat the strange."

The 300,000 imperial guards came out in full swing, and they were gambled for the country's fortune. Once they lost, the country would be destroyed in an instant.

The emperor dared not bet like this.

The Southwest Army was alone outside, and its foundation was far less than that of the Jin court. As long as you defend the capital, you can slowly waste them to death.

Zhong Xuantong looked up at the emperor, but didn't say much, but sighed in his heart.
