Chapter 107 The Last Hope(2/2)

Liu Yuan had no idea that he was wrong. He did not believe in a good general who had fought for his country for half his life, but he chose to believe the words of an old palace maid. After the incident failed, he blamed everything on Liang Luanzhen, an old palace maid, and ordered the general to be executed.

Lu Qiongxian, Fan Huzi, Chen Yanshou, Li Tuo, and Gong Chengshu were really angry when they saw Liu Yuan, who had always been kind, and they all shrank their heads.

"One and a half of you all say that the Central Plains is nothing to fear. Now they are about to attack Prince Xing's Mansion. What else can you say?"

"What's wrong? Are you mute?"

Liu Yuan was in a state of confusion. Yingzhou was the gateway and the last barrier to Prince Xing's palace.

If Yingzhou is really going to fall, the enemy will come to the city.

"Li Tuo, tell me!"

Liu Yun had no choice but to ask Li Tuo for advice.

Compared with Lu Qiongxian and Fan Huzi, two women in charge of internal affairs, as well as Chen Yanshou and Gong Chengshu, two people who have never been on the battlefield.

Li Tuo was the only one who had seen the scene.

Li Tuo was born as a general and liked to ride horses and shoot arrows when he was a child. Later, he became a eunuch in his family. He was highly appreciated by Liu Sheng, the first emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty. He followed him on the battlefield and was appointed as an eunuch.

After Liu Sheng's death, Li Tuo sent his two adopted daughters into the harem in order to further gain favor. The eldest daughter was a noble concubine, and the second daughter was a beauty. They got everything they wanted.

Li Tuo is now an official in the Kaifu Yitong Third Division, the military envoy of the Sixth Army, the general of the hussars, and the grand master of the inner palace. He is the first person in the military except the prince.

Li Tuo hesitated and said, "If you want to defeat the enemy, only King Zhen can do so."

Liu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "This is what we have to do."

King Zhen's name is Liu Baoxing, who is his younger brother.

The military system of the Southern Han Dynasty was based on the prince's code for the imperial army, and the imperial army of the Southern Han Dynasty was divided into six armies and twelve guards. But Liu Sheng was a brother-killing maniac, and almost killed all his brothers. Especially the one who commanded the six armies and twelve guards.

Younger brother, he kills most vigorously.

So much so that after Liu Yuan ascended the throne, several of his brothers did not dare to take power and only held positions.

Although Liu Baoxing had the title of sentencing the Twelve Guards of the Sixth Army, he actually never led a soldier for a day. He only spent his days eating, drinking and having fun.

Li Tuo knew in his heart that the most suitable choice to defeat the enemy was Pan Chongche.

However, he and Gong Chengshu worked in collusion, often using torture to oppress the people, and even flattered Liu Yuan, causing trouble and framing the veteran generals, so that many veteran generals were killed.

Pan Chongche did not die because he was too famous, and he was afraid of triggering a mutiny if he was killed.

Pan Chongche could not be made to get up under any circumstances, so he could only talk to one person casually.

Liu Yuan ordered people to call Liu Baoxing.

Liu Baoxing was tall and thin, but compared to Liu Yuan, who was fat and round, he had a heroic air.

"Brother Wang, our country in Lingnan is in a state of life and death, and our ancestral family property cannot be lost. After much thought, I have concluded that only Brother Wang is suitable to lead the army to defeat the enemy."

Liu Yuan looked pitifully at his younger brother who he didn't usually have much contact with.

Liu Baoxing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of my brother. The only one who can save me in Lingnan is Pan Shuai. My brother is willing to lead the troops to cooperate with Pan Shuai to defeat the enemy. I can let my brother lead the troops to fight in the Central Plains.

I wonder if I don’t have this ability.”

When Liu Yu heard the name Pan Chongche, he felt a fire in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Pan Chongche really had the strength to fight Pan Mei.

Pan Mei's words, "Pan Chongche is indeed the best general in Lingnan. With him here, Shaozhou will not be easy to capture" also reached Liu Yuan's ears.

It's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

Li Tuo looked horrified. If Pan Chongche really rises up, he will die without a burial place. This wave is just shooting himself in the foot. He hurriedly said: "King Zhen, Pan Chongche is standing still in Shaozhou. His heart may not be trustworthy."

Liu Baoxing had long disliked Li Tuo and the others, but he had no power and could not help them.

Now that the country is about to disappear, there is no scruple and we can directly start fighting.

"There are 100,000 soldiers in the Central Plains, but Pan Shuai only has 20,000. What do you want him to use to fight against the Central Plains? Pan Shuai only used 20,000 soldiers, and he forced Pan Mei to be helpless. This shows Pan Shuai's ability."

As he spoke, he bowed to Liu Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, if Pan Shuai has one hundred thousand elites, why worry about being unable to defeat the enemy? My brother thought that if he wanted to completely defeat the Central Plains, he should bear the brunt of using Pan Shuai and send reinforcements northward to let Pan Shuai.

We have enough troops to fight the Central Plains. My younger brother will go to Yingzhou in person to cooperate with Pan Shuai to defeat the enemy."

Liu Yuan's face was gloomy and uncertain. Although Wu Yanrou in Hezhou was defeated miserably, and now he had lost Zhi Tingxiao and lost his troops and generals. However, the main force of the Southern Han Army was still there.

Prince Xing's Mansion still gathered 100,000 troops of King Qin, including the most elite heavy-armored elephant array that had dominated Lingnan for decades.
