Li Xuan ran to Qin Guan, holding a document in his hand. When he saw Qin Guan, he said in a panic: "Mr. Qin, something is wrong."

Qin Guan asked, "What happened?"

"I just received a secret report from Fei Ge, and I copied it. You can take a look." He said that, and handed the document to Qin Guan.

Qin Guan took it and was also shocked.

The document states that the Liao Kingdom had 400,000 soldiers divided into two armies, one of which was led by the King of the North Court, Yelu Chongxin, entered the country from Qizhou, crossed the Yellow River Po, and stepped on the Central Plains. The day before yesterday, he had fought with the Shun'an army, and all Shun'an army was killed. Yesterday, he fought with the Yongning army. The Yongning army was defeated and the main general was killed. The deputy general was defeated with 2ooo remaining soldiers.

Now the Liao Kingdom's Eastern Route Army has formed a chain to capture Qizhou and Qizhou, which is approaching Gunzhou, and is very fast.

The other Liao army, led by Xiao Chucai, the king of the Southern Court, entered Daizhou. Xiao Chucai did not advance quickly, but divided his troops into three groups, and the main force rushed towards Daizhou. The day before yesterday, destroyed the volcanic army and advanced towards Mingzhou after taking Daizhou.

The other two groups were led by Baomi Sheng to kill Pingzhou and Pingding Army. The Pingding Army was defeated by only 6ooo people left to retreat to Tuncheng.

The other way was to lead 20,000 people, killing the Xin'an army in Xiongzhou.

Qin Guan really didn't expect that the army was 400,000, which was all the troops of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom actually brought troops from all over the country to attack. Is this going to destroy the Zhao Kingdom?

"Sir, what should we do?" Li Xuan asked anxiously.

Qin Guan frowned and asked, "The court may have orders."

"Not yet, I'm afraid the court just learned the news."

At this time, in the main hall of the Imperial Palace in Jinling City, all the ministers gathered, and the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a serious face.

Minister of War, Uncle Lin, said in a low voice.

"The Liao Kingdom suddenly invaded our country with 400,000 troops. Yelu Chongxin led 200,000 troops, taking advantage of the Yellow River to freeze, and directly crossed the Yellow River to enter Dongshan Province. Shun'an Army and Yongning Army failed to block the enemy, and the entire army was wiped out. Jicheng was defeated, and the governor Li Ling, governor Zhou Chenghu and other ministers were killed."

"In just three days, Yelu Chongxin's cavalry had advanced 5oo miles."

"Xiao Chucai led 200,000 troops to enter from Daizhou, and the volcanic army was wiped out."

Hearing these news, the ministers in the palace were in a heavy mood.

"Xiao Chucai did not advance like Yelu Chongxin, but sent 20,000 cavalry to attack Pingzhou and Xiongzhou. Pingzhou Pingding Army was defeated and retreated to Tuncheng, and Xiongzhou Xin'an Army..."

As soon as he said this, the emperor had a gloomy face and slapped the table and shouted: "The miserable defeats are all miserable defeats. Is the army of the Great Zhao State so vulnerable?"

Uncle Lin was yelled by the emperor. After the emperor finished venting, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although Xin'an Army also suffered heavy losses, they won."

Hearing the only good news, the emperor immediately said, "Let me say it carefully."

"yes,"

"Qu Li, a general under Xiao Chucai, led 20,000 cavalry to attack Xin'an army. Xin'an army could not stop the enemy at Chitang Pass, retreated to the plain to set up a battle formation to fight the Quli cavalry."

The emperor was stunned, "How could there be a chance of winning against 20,000 infantry against 20,000 cavalry?"

Shuquan Lin said: "It's indeed impossible."

The emperor showed anger on his face, "Then you said you won."

"Your Majesty, during the war, the chief general Han Shicheng was killed by the enemy general, and the soldiers lost more than 10,000 soldiers. At this moment, Qin Guan, the governor of Xiongzhou, led 5,000 cavalry to rescue. Qin Guan, spearheaded the Liao army commander Qu Li, and the enemy was defeated. Our soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and finally killed more than 6,000 enemies. The deputy commander of the Liao army led the remaining Liao soldiers to retreat, and the Xin'an army recaptured Chitang Pass."

Hearing the only victory, the emperor's face eased a little.

At least this shows that Zhao's army is not all incompetent, there are still soldiers to fight.

The emperor said directly: "The title of Taiwei Han Shicheng, Qin Guan made contributions to protecting the country, and Yong'an Bo was granted the title of General of the State."

Although Xin'an Army also won a terrible victory, when the market was green, it was naturally very conspicuous to see a bonus stock.

The emperor was very proud of his praise, and Qin Guan was promoted again.

Originally, he was from the fourth rank, and now he was granted the title of Yong'anbo and the General of the Guardian, both of which were the fourth rank, and the General of the Guardian still had the military rank. In other words, Qin Guan now has the right to directly command troops.

Zeng Yu wanted to stand up and object, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the emperor's gaze projecting. The two looked at each other. Zeng Yu could see the coldness in the emperor's eyes, which made him tremble in his heart, and his legs that wanted to step out stopped immediately.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, glanced at the ministers in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The Liao Kingdom is invading fiercely, what are you going to do with it?"

"Lin Shuquan, you are in charge of the Ministry of War. What is the plan of the Ministry of War?"

Lin Shuquan quickly said, "Your Majesty, the 400,000 Liao army suddenly went south and caught us off guard. The border defense line has been washed away. For the current plan, we can only mobilize the imperial guards, use the Yangtze River chassis to block the Liao army's footsteps, and then gather troops from all over the country to eliminate the Liao army."

The emperor looked unhappy: "Then will you leave the large tracts of land in northern my country alone?"

"Your Majesty, although the Liao army attacked quickly and seemed fierce, they bypassed the defense lines of many multilateral troops. We retained at least 300,000 troops north of the Yangtze River. As long as we sorted out these troops, we could attack the Liao army from north to south, which would cause a severe blow to the Liao army. At that time, their logistics were not smooth and their attacks were powerless, so they would naturally retreat."

The emperor thought for a while and asked Shen Zheng: "Shen Xiang, what about your opinion."

Shen Zheng looked serious and said, "The Liao Kingdom was invading too suddenly. There was no sign before. In just three days, Yelu Chongxin led his troops into 5oo miles. Now it was too late to organize an army to fight him in the north, so he could only do this."

"Xiao Chucai was cautious in marching and attacked Xiongzhou in Pingzhou, in order to build a safe passage, and echoed Yelu Chongxin's east-west. Now it is difficult for the army to defeat the Liao Kingdom's army by just relying on the border."

"Zeng Xiang, what do you think?" the emperor asked again.

"Your Majesty, the northern border army is defeated. Now we need a commander to gather the army to compete with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao Kingdom. This candidate is very important." Zeng Yu replied.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I ordered Cao Bin to be the commander of the imperial guards, gathering 400,000 imperial guards and navy troops to block the enemy from the north bank of the Yangtze River."

"I ordered Li Jilong to be the commander of the border army, and to control all border troops during wartime and organize troops to fight against the enemy."

The emperor ordered that the military machine of the Great Zhao State began to start quickly.

Two days later, he received a letter from the court.

Qin Guan didn't expect that he was promoted again, and he was awarded the title of Earl of Yong'an, and he also had the title of military title as a general of the country protection.
