Tiemur did not expect the situation to evolve so quickly. Most of the capital was trapped in a place of enemies in a blink of an eye, especially the roads that fled north were all controlled by the Southern Army, so he wanted to catch a turtle in the jar and trap himself in Dadu. Ananda asked to conceal the truth and report his achievements in a lie.

"How could Tanzhou fall? King Ningyuan led his army to come before. He was not intercepted by the Southern Army on the way, and the local prefectures did not report the invasion of the Southern Army. What was going on?" Tiemuer was a little confused about why the Southern Dynasties army had been in the south, and why the sudden appearance of the north of the mainland and cut off the road to Liaodong. He asked in confusion.

"Reported to the Great Khan, the Southern Navy suddenly landed in Yongping Prefecture with infantry. Our navy was weak and could not be discovered in time. Moreover, most of the garrison troops were transferred into the guards, and the troops were empty. After the Southern Army landed, it quickly seized Yu Pass and quickly divided its troops to attack the prefectures and counties of Yongping Prefecture. The local area was suddenly attacked and was unable to resist and fell one after another. At the same time, the Southern Army sent a large number of scouts and cavalry to intercept messengers, making it impossible to convey the news of the Southern Army's invasion from the sea to the capital in time!" Korigis reported.

"Since you know that the Southern Dynasties' naval forces have always been rampant, why not prepare early!" Tiemur said furiously. But he had lived in Lin'an for a year, witnessed the majesty of the Southern Dynasties' navy, and also knew that the sea transport was developed. The Southern Dynasties would patrol the seas in autumn and winter, escort sea trade caravans to the north, and even harass the coastal areas. Therefore, the tutors of the coastal areas were responsible for monitoring the coast and preventing enemy invasions, but this time there was no response.

"Reported to the Khan, the Southern Army that invaded Yongping Prefecture this time was his expeditionary force. In the past, it was only responsible for maintaining the safety of the shipping routes of the South China Sea and did not enter the northern region. Moreover, the current trade winds are wrong, so the coastal garrison will inevitably relax its coastal defense and be taken advantage of by the enemy!" Seeing that the Khan was unhappy, Korigis hurriedly explained.

"Haha, I'm negligent for a moment..." Tie Muer smiled bitterly and pointed at the ministers who wanted to say something, but then put down his arms helplessly.

"Khan, the facts are hard to change. I'd better consider how to deal with the enemy now!" He Wei, the chief political officer of the Secretariat, was frustrated when he saw that the Khan was not unfair, and quickly persuaded him.

"Do you think you should defend against the enemy?" The back road was cut off, and Tiemuer was in a low mood, and he asked in a weak voice.

"I think there is no need to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, but we should take advantage of the enemy's encirclement as soon as possible to find a place where the troops are weak. As long as we enter the grassland, even if the infantry and navy of the Southern Army are strong, it will be difficult to penetrate the grassland. Moreover, there are shortages of horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southerners are not familiar with horse fighting, and our army is proficient in cavalry and shooting, and can turn passive into activeness, and after years of rest and recuperation, we can recover our vitality. At that time, we can go south to the Central Plains again!" He Wei said.

"I dare not agree with He Gongshen's proposal. It is not advisable to travel north to the grassland at this time. Instead, we should rely on the strong city to defend it, defeat the Southern Army in one fell swoop, and retake the Central Plains!" Gao Mili, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, opposed it. He was born in the Jurchens, and his father won a high position with his military merits after he surrendered to the Mongolian family. He also joined the army to destroy the Song Dynasty and obtained special merits. Now he replaced Zhang Gui, who died in battle, and took office in the Privy Council.

"I think why the counselor said so well!" Li Siyan, the left chief of the Secretariat, said, "The South Arms are sharp and invincible, and the strong city is difficult to resist its sharpness. Heavy armor and thick shields cannot withstand its attack. When two armies fight, no matter the cannons are broken, and the strong bows and crossbows are destroyed. Behind the city, letting the cannons rage, the city walls can hold on to the extent that they can be exhausted, and waiting for the food and grass to be exhausted is tantamount to waiting for death!"

"Well, it's reasonable!" Although Tiemur couldn't bear to the prosperity of the Central Plains, he couldn't bear to live his life. He had long been lost in Baozhou, and the Southern Army wanted to move the Bo Shangdu to kill the enemy's edge. However, all the ministers thought that leaving without fighting would really damage the prestige of the Great Yuan Kingdom, and would lead to a depressed morale and a loss of people's hearts. Once he hesitated, it led to the current situation, and it was difficult to leave.

"I think most of the capital should be guarded!" said Korigis, "The Khan, most of the capital is the foundation of the Central Plains. Once it is abandoned, it will lose the Central Plains. If it returns to the grassland, it is difficult to obtain sufficient food without land to cultivate, and it is difficult to obtain salt and iron. Without food, cattle and sheep can use hunger to satisfy the hunger, but without iron, it is difficult to build weapons, and armor will be difficult to defeat the Southern Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to enter the Central Plains again!"

"Yes, it's hard for us to come back if we lose the Central Plains. There is no hope for retaking Jiangnan. The Khan cannot abandon Dadu!"

"Yes, without the Central Plains, where does the food come from and where does the silk come from, and it will lose its source of finance and taxation. What support does the court rely on!"

"I am willing to fight to the death with the enemy and never evacuate the capital!"

"It took Genghis, Ogedei Khan, Mongge Khan, and Kublai Khan forty years to seize the Central Plains and occupy Jiangnan. I don't know when to seize the Central Plains again in this retreat!" A group of kings from all over the country also started to make a fuss and refused to evacuate Dadu.

"Khan, even if we lose the Central Plains, we still occupy Liaodong, Shaanxi and Gansu, and the north and south of the desert. We have rich Hetao, Guanzhong and Longnan, which can provide sufficient food, salt and iron, not without the opportunity to revive. But once the capital is lost, all the civil and military officials in the court will fall into the enemy and there will be no hope of revival. I hope the Khan will think twice and put the country first!" Dong Wen said in his words. He knew that these Mongols were unwilling to give up the capital, but they were not willing to give up the land and slaves in their hands, and they would be inexhaustible wealth. This is a private act of forgetting the public.

"Khan, the Southern Dynasties' invasion of the Central Plains has mobilized the whole country's troops and devoted the whole country's strength. Once they are defeated, they will lose all the money and have no strength to fight again. Therefore, as long as our dynasty can defend Dadu and defeat the besieged enemy, they will win a complete victory. At that time, the Central Plains can be repeated, and there will be no hope of falling into Jiangnan again!" Gao Mili said, "I think those who say retreating now should be punished as treason, and they will be punished with the extreme punishment to face the hearing!"

"The deputy envoy's words are all words that mislead the country and the king. Please dismiss him from office and question him!" Cui Yu was furious when he heard this, and then said.

"It was obvious that the Han people were greedy for life and fearful of death and were scared by the Southern Dynasties' army, so they wanted to abandon the city and flee, and hand over the Huahua World to the enemy. Not killing is not enough to revitalize discipline and boost morale!" Gao Mieli looked at the opponents coldly and said viciously.

"Shut up, look at your angry look. Where can you have the demeanor of the important officials of the country have? Do you still take me seriously? The enemy does not think about how to retreat to the enemy at the moment, but they have to kill each other first. What kind of morality is it?" Tie Muer saw the ministers quarrel endlessly, and yelled heavily.

"Sweat up with a big sweat!" Seeing Tie Muer's face dark, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Tie Muer suppressed his anger and waved his hand impatiently, "Ping Zhang, do you think you are going or staying now?"

"Khan, I think that whether you are going or staying, the most important thing is to rectify the troops and prepare for war, and at the same time block the north from moving forward, completely cut off the path to travel north, and other matters can be discussed slowly!" An Tong replied after pondering for a moment, giving an ambiguous answer.

The current situation in the palace actually made An Tong a little confused and unable to see the situation. In common sense, the Han ministers were born and raised here, and the hometown was difficult to leave. They should advocate defending the capital and then protecting the Central Plains. The grassland is the home of all Mongolian ethnic groups. In the case of unfavorable war, it is said that the Central Plains should be given up and returned to the more familiar grassland to preserve their strength, rather than fighting with the Southern Dynasty at all costs.

But the world is really wonderful, and people's hearts are even more difficult to predict. The current advocates defending the city are the Mongols, while the Han people have to preserve their strength and retreat back to the grassland and accumulate strength to make a comeback. This makes An Tong laugh and cry, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous, and Da Khan's attitude has not yet been clarified. If he made a statement in court, he will lose room for maneuver and will find it difficult to mediate among Mongolian and Han officials, so he will simply avoid talking.

"Since there are pros and cons of staying and leaving, it is difficult to decide for the time being. Let's make a weighing point and discuss it again next time." Seeing that the two sides were tense, Tiemuer knew that there was no result to discuss, and thought about it, "The Privy Council prepared all departments as soon as possible to arrange defense, so as to ensure the north entrance and prevent the enemy from continuing to move forward. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen city defense and build equipment for defending the city, especially bed crossbows and stone throwing mechanisms. In addition, we must send more light cavalry to harass the two camps in the south of the Southern Army, waiting for an opportunity to destroy its food and grass, and cut off its food route!"

"Abide by the sages!" The ministers knew that this was the end of today, so they sent the Khan away...

Tiemur left the hall and was still depressed. Now, with many troops entering the city, a large number of war horses also entered the city, resulting in the smell of horse manure that was still spreading in the air, which made him even more upset. This is not the most prosperous city in the East, and it has become a horse circle.

"Khan, where are you moving?" Fang Chenyou bowed to ask for instructions. Now he is the chief supervisor of the Ming Palace and the attendant of the Khan. In addition, he helped him win the Khan position during the palace change, and he was more favored and was in power in the harem, but he still looked very respectful in front of the Khan.

"Go to Guanghan Palace!" Tiemur thought.

"Yes!" Guanghan Palace was built on Qionghua Island outside the inner palace, and it was far away. Fang Chenyou quickly ordered the eunuchs to prepare for a chariot. He also understood that Dahan was in a difficult situation again. After Dahan ascended the throne, he was still favored by the foreign astrological master Ardam, which made him a little jealous. In order to make it easier to ask questions from time to time, he placed him in Guanghan Hall on Qionghua Island, and built an observatory on the earthen hill on the island to check the changes of stars.

"What are Aldam doing these days?" Tiemur boarded the chariot, left the Ming Palace, walked onto the imperial road, and asked out of the voice.

"Reported to the Great Khan, Ardam came out of the palace the day before yesterday and returned drunk. It is said that he had a conflict with the generals who entered the guard. If the guard had not appeared in time to stop him, he would have been almost killed!" Fang Chenyou would have seized the opportunity to report the opponent who was competing for favor. "I didn't leave the palace yesterday, but I was drunk, and I showed off my wind in the palace and injured several eunuchs."
