Chapter 596
Ningze occupied Wubao County, Ma Jian led his troops to flee to Gunzhou, and entered Qiangyang through Baotai County.
The imperial city was seized, and the morale of the Nancheng court was depressed and at a loss.
The national teacher Xin Tieshan apologized and said, "I joined forces with Mr. Xuanji to lose to Ning Ze, and I am willing to accept the crime and be punished!"
"The defeat in this battle is not up to the national teacher!" Ma Jian felt that the national teacher Xin Tieshan and Mr. Xuanji had already tried their best, but Ning Ze was too cunning and did not know how the other party would split up, which made it difficult for him to deal with it. What we need to consider now is that Ning Ze could not resist the morale of his side, so how could he defend the land of Gunzhou.
Ma Jian did not pursue the matter, and the civil and military officials of the Korean court also witnessed the battle scenes of the National Master and Mr. Xuanji on the battlefield. It cannot be said that they did not do their best. Everyone thinks that the problem lies with Ning Ze. This opponent is too difficult to deal with. How can he defeat him?
Although there were only five counties in Gunzhou, countless deserters were defeated in succession, many were captured and surrendered, and their troops were in short supply.
Because of years of war, the lack of youth and strength in the country is even worse now. Apart from the lack of morale in the hands of the soldiers and horses, it is extremely difficult to recruit soldiers. The people are all elderly, weak, women and children. How can they join the war? Even if the whole nation has soldiers, how much combat power will it have?
The most important thing is that the people have joined the army, who will farm and do business and pay taxes to fill the treasury?
Huangchengwubao County was occupied because it was too sudden and the national treasury had no time to move away. The only remaining possessions were taken away by Ning Ze, and they could only rely on the pitiful funds of the Gunzhou official treasury. But this was not a solution. What should I do next made everyone feel very sad.
Ma Jian asked civil and military officials to express their opinions, and came up with a safe way to withdraw Ning Ze from his troops in response to the current situation, and gain time while protecting Gunzhou, and then make plans.
Yin Gongru, the Censor, stepped out and bowed to the list, saying, "Now that China is in great power, the three groups of troops are sending troops to suppress Zhou and Liang at the same time, and forcing our country to a desperate situation. All parties are too busy to take care of themselves. The Three Kingdoms Alliance is in name only. Ning Ze has great supernatural powers, and with the national teacher, Mr. Xuanji joins hands, but I think it is invincible. Your Majesty and Ning Ze have a marriage in-laws. I heard that Ning Ze is extremely favored by the Seventh Princess and regards it as his own. It is better to send envoys to surrender. For the sake of the Seventh Princess, and with the merit of offering the city, it is natural to be granted the title of King of Liang. Your Majesty can still be named King of Liang. Your Majesty will definitely not be a problem to challenge the Southern King Yongzhen Gunzhou."
"Bastard!" Prime Minister Huang Zhi angrily pointed out Yin Gongru when he heard this, "A minister who lost his country surrenders can gain wealth. Who can end up with a good end? You don't think about the strategy of retreating to the enemy and saving the country, but you are so mean here to confuse the public!"
Yin Gongru and Tao: "I just put forward the most secure suggestions to Your Majesty based on the situation! Instead of resisting and losing everything, why can't I trade existing chips for greater benefits? I am selfless, I hope Your Majesty will clearly learn from you!"
"Those who are betrayal of the Lord should be sentenced to death!" Taichang Liu Qing stood up, "Please remove this person from his official position and punish him with lingchi to face the truth!"
"Yin Yushi will not die! Your Majesty is a wise and wise king. How can a minister be punished for his words?" Tang Zhun came out and spoke for Yin Gongru.
The scene was quickly divided into two factions. On the one hand, it was mainly the prime minister and it was difficult to accept the surrender statement that demanded severe punishment of Yin Gongru. On the other hand, it either agreed with Yin Gongru's statement, thinking that this situation was really difficult to confront China, or thinking that Yin Gongru's views were wrong, but there was no need to execute him because of this.
The two teams were arguing, which made Ma Jian’s already uncomfortable head buzz.
Finally couldn't bear it, so he slapped the table and shouted: "Give me peace of mind!"
The ministers immediately shut up and the noise disappeared instantly.
Ma Jian rubbed his temples and turned his eyes to Feng Qiao: "What do the military advisor think?"
Feng Qiao bowed and replied: "I think that as the lord of Nancheng, Your Majesty is responsible for the people and has a great responsibility! Although he is temporarily defeated and frustrated, he should stick to his philosophy and defend the territory! My minister should assist Your Majesty in breaking through all difficulties and consolidating the national foundation. Although Yin Yushi made up his words, he was just not considerate. Moreover, this dilemma should be consistent with the outside world to avoid civil strife."
"Your Majesty, the military advisor's words are very good!" Yang Zhao said.
Ma Jian nodded: "Chief Yin has worked diligently over the years and has made great contributions to me. I will not be punished for my words, nor have I given up my foundation and surrendered to China. Don't worry about this anymore, but think about how to deal with Ning Ze!"
"Your Majesty!" Xin Tieshan stepped forward and said, "Although I and Mr. Xuanji were defeated by Ning Ze, the other party used tricks to catch me off guard. I will definitely win if I fight again next time! I also asked Your Majesty to lead my troops into Baotai County and set up an ambush to wait for Ning Ze. This time, I caught him off guard and he would definitely turn the defeat into victory!"
"Does the national teacher have confidence?" Ma Jian felt a little shadow after repeated defeats.
"Working with Mr. Xuanji will definitely succeed!" Xin Tieshan swore faithfully.
Ma Jian turned to other civil and military officials: "Who other than the national teacher, has any plan to retreat to the enemy?"
As the words fell, the scene was silent.
Everyone has seen the terribleness of Ning Ze's magic, which is no longer a traditional military strategy to deal with. No matter how well you train your soldiers or your strength, if you come with a spell, your confidence will collapse directly. Before you can rush over, you have suffered heavy losses. No strategy has been effective in front of Ning Ze. A powerful figure like military advisor Feng Qiao has also retreated continuously? It is useless to do so many detailed tasks you sent to pass through. It is instantly seen through in front of Ning Ze. Without actual combat strategies, no useful information has been obtained. Who else can do such an enemy besides the national teacher who can compete with him?
The key is that Ning Ze's spells cannot be broken. Those rumored methods that can break spells are useless in front of him, which is simply hopeless.
Ma Jian had long expected this situation and felt a little bitter. Why did the figure like Ning Ze appear in the world?
When the chaos in Dacheng started, it was not so exaggerated. Ning Ze alone can reverse the entire battle situation, and his magic is getting stronger and stronger. Although the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji seem to have some magic power, it is still unknown whether the two can defeat Ning Ze in a joint effort!
However, except for the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji, the generals may be able to fight against Ning Ze, but no one dares to say that they can win in front of him.
The current situation is that no matter whether you are happy or not, you can only bet on all your hopes on the only two people who can fight against Ning Ze.
Therefore, turn to Feng Qiao: "What do military advisors think?"
Feng Qiao thought carefully and replied respectfully: "The National Master and Mr. Xuanji have a lot of magic powers, and they are the only ones who can fight against Ningze. Now there is only Gunzhou left, and the consequences of losing another city are unimaginable. If the National Master and Mr. Xuanji can defend Baotai County, the situation will still change. I have a plan to offer it. Although Ningze has the ability to be in heaven, his subordinates are all ordinary people. Wuzhou falls into an enemy, and the local gentry and powerful people may not surrender. Your Majesty can issue a secret order to order Wuzhou to form its own troops and attack the defenders of my country. Although the Chinese country is powerful, there are not many people available. Once chaos arises, they can buy time for our country!"
Ma Jian thought for a while and was quite happy: "The military advisor's strategy is indeed very clever. As long as he disrupts Wuzhou, he can distract Ning Ze's attention. Then the national teacher, Mr. Xuanji, will definitely defeat this person!"
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to offer it!" Yang Zhao stood up.
"What are General Yang's tricks?" Ma Jian asked hurriedly.
"Mrs. Tian's power has not yet firmly turned to Ning Ze. It is better to send someone to spread rumors, saying that Ning Ze accepts it on the surface, secretly plans to kill Mrs. Tian, Lu Wei and his son to ensure the stability of Yanzhou. Once rumors spread, Mrs. Tian, Lu Wei and his son will inevitably be frightened. Everyone under his command will be in danger. If some means are used, Yanzhou will be in chaos. However, the two states are in chaos. How can Ning Ze have the intention to attack again?"
"We must first settle the internal situation when fighting the foreign countries!" Ma Jian nodded, "It is a great strategy to complement the military advisor's strategy. If you don't use any swords and weapons, you can retreat. It's a wonderful strategy!"
"Thank you for your praise!" Yang Zhao turned to Feng Qiao with a smile, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask the national teacher to go to Baotai County to garrison and make a special trip to Ningze!" Ma Jian said, "Another use the military advisor and General Yang's plan to assist him! All the officials must do their best to protect our southern city and the country!"
Xin Tieshan and his troops went down to prepare, and all the civil and military officials dispersed, but Feng Qiao stayed until the end, and only the king and ministers were left, and he said to Ma Jian: "I have something to tell Your Majesty!"
"What else does the military advisor have to do? Why didn't you say it just now?" Ma Jian asked curiously.
Feng Qiao replied: "This matter is related to the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji, so I dare not point it out in person."
"Oh? What's wrong with the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji?" Ma Jian asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's just that I have doubts and has not yet been confirmed!" Feng Qiao replied.
"The military advisor doubts the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji?"
"I also hope that the two of them have no problems, but they must be cautious in everything, especially the current situation does not allow any negligence!" Feng Qiao replied, "Please send your Majesty to do a detailed job and follow the two to observe in detail. If there is no problem with the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji, it is better. If the intention is not good, make a decision early to avoid endless disasters!"
"Did the military advisor think too much?" Ma Jian frowned, "The national master is loyal to me and recommends Mr. Xuanji to fight against Ning Ze's army in front of the formation. Everyone can see it. If it weren't for the national master, it might not have been successfully withdrawn. Now they are the only hope for Ning Ze, and even volunteered to go to Baotai County. What's wrong with it?"
"Of course I hope these two people are loyal to Your Majesty," Feng Qiao replied, "But leave a way out for everything! Send meticulous work to follow and observe. If these two people hide the pigeon and contact the outside world, it will be a disaster! If it is a misunderstanding, as long as you secretly recall the meticulous work, there will be no problem."
"This... the military advisor doubts the national teacher and Mr. Xuanji, is there any basis?" Ma Jian asked.
Feng Qiao shook his head: "I just have concerns in my heart, so I persuade Your Majesty. As the saying goes, you must be careful of others! Your Majesty thinks, why did Ning Ze give it to the national teacher's demon pet?"
"Didn't it mean that the national teacher will compete with him. Ning Ze will give the demon pet when he meets his opponent's whim?" Ma Jian said this, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin, "So the military advisor always thinks there is something wrong here?"
"It is also possible that Ning Ze has a whim and it is rare to meet someone with the same magical power that can make him beat him to the fullest." Feng Qiao replied, "I just think that if the probability is too careful."
