Xie Linlang didn't believe it at first glance. She got up and walked to the candle. After reading the short sentence three times, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.
Isn't this funny? ! With less than 80,000 troops, Qin Jue stopped the 150,000-strong army of Swamp Country from attacking three times. It can be seen that as long as he has enough manpower, it is only a matter of time before he defeats Swamp Country!
On the other hand, Zeguo is only pressing the border, and has not yet launched an attack. As for the fear of surrendering without a fight? !
Xie Linlang was so angry that she couldn't hold herself back, and her mind was even more dizzy.
But after all, she has lived and died many times in this era, and she is no longer the casual state of her previous life. The more difficult it is, the more calm she is, because only calmness can find a way out.
Thinking so, she paced back and forth on the ground with bare feet, trying to use the cold air to wake herself up.
The dark guard on the side was hesitant to say anything, but in the end, he couldn't help but say.
"Lord City Master, the master once warned me to wait. If he is not there, I must take good care of you, such as eating on time, such as... not walking on the ground barefoot."
Xie Linlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, is this the time to say this? The imperial court is about to retreat, and even if she is ill, she is also ill!
However, the words of the dark guard gave Xie Linlang a little comfort. She was not fighting alone. Even if everyone in the court betrayed her, then she still has Qin Jue.
Seeing her calm down, the dark guard whispered back the rest of the bad news.
"Lord City Lord, there are three main reasons for the court to issue such an order.
First of all, at the same time as the border defense emergency letter, there is also a letter of invitation from the Zeguo Army. This time, Zeguo sent 200,000 army and 100,000 navy troops to fight at the same time. Only in His Majesty's hands, there are not enough troops to fight the battle. "
"Second, another 100,000 troops from the rear of Marsh Kingdom will be added to the western battlefield, and the imperial court's reinforcements of 200,000 have yet to reach it. With less than 80,000 troops stationed in the west, in the view of the imperial court, it is impossible to support the arrival of reinforcements."
"Third, the remarks in the courtroom tended to be one-sided, and only a very small number of people were fighting.
Originally, most of the people were the main battles, because only the Swamp Country was not enough. Now, the Ze Country has also joined the battle camp, and plans to launch an attack from both land and water at the same time. For Da Qin, it is equivalent to being attacked on three sides.
Therefore, most people in the court were afraid, and some people took the opportunity to instigate and suggested that the emperor narrow the battle circle, such as returning the western garrison to Chalong, the southern army to Jiangnan, and the eastern garrison to Bianzhou. In this way, all the troops will return. , it can be connected into a defensive, and the capital as the center point, it will be extra safe. "
"But doing this means losing half of Daqin's country!" Xie Linlang sat down beside the bed with a silent expression, feeling both understanding and ridicule.
From the point of view of human nature, the higher the authority, the more afraid of death, but all the authority is in the hands of these people who are afraid of death, so they feel that there is no chance of winning, and it is normal to make such a decision.
It doesn't matter if the people die or not, as long as they don't die.
No matter whether other places will be affected by the war or not, as long as the richest places and the capital are still there, they will still be able to enjoy the glory and wealth.
This made Xie Linlang feel a deep sense of powerlessness. She has experienced a lot over the years, and she has advanced knowledge and knowledge. She thought that there would be nothing in this world that could beat her, but she did not expect that there would be , that is the pig teammate!
Obviously, there are definitely traitors from Zeguo or Marsh country instigating them in the court. They take advantage of the family's weakness of fear of death to deceive them and make them force the emperor to make such a decision.
Anyway, the emperor of the iron-clad and flowing family, as long as they keep their own interests, even if the country changes, they can continue to prosper.
So they can choose not to unite with Daqin, and not to help the emperor to tide over the difficulties together, maybe many of them are now waiting to change the emperor.
Who told the emperor to be against the family all the time
After this war, if Da Qin was still there, they could force the emperor to abdicate, because he lost half of the country, even if they were afraid of death and encouraged him.
If Da Qin is gone, they will separate some of their interests to win over the new master. As long as they are united, the new master who has only ascended the throne will not dare to do anything to them, and they can still be rich and rich.
This is really... The selfishness of human nature is interpreted to the extreme.
Xie Linlang thought, and rubbed her forehead with a headache.
After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "What is the attitude of the emperor? The noble family encouraged the emperor to retire, and then he retreated for fear of death?"
The dark guard paused and replied, "The emperor's attitude is rather vague. In the beginning, he was a firm main fighting faction. Even if he died in battle, he would never retreat.
But... After the lobbying of all the aristocratic families, he hesitated again. In addition, the concubine's sudden news that she was pregnant and had a child in her old age also touched him. After the enthusiasm faded, his attitude became very vague. "
Xie Linlang twitched the corners of her mouth, wanting to say something human, but she couldn't.
The emperor's approach is the normal reaction that an ordinary person will make when encountering these.
But in that position, ordinary, normal, is often the original sin!
Xie Linlang didn't think about him anymore, and asked again while pressing her forehead.
"Has this order been issued to the military camps of all parties?"
The dark guard gave a "hmm", "Some have already arrived, and some will probably arrive tomorrow."
"So there are no reinforcements?"
"Yes, all of them will be called back and stationed in the more prosperous cities around the capital. After the garrison receives the news, it should start to withdraw soon."
This is really bad news everywhere!
But in a trance, Xie Linlang suddenly remembered that the commander-in-chief of the garrison in the south was Xiao Shizi's uncle...
She stood up suddenly, walked hurriedly to the small study next door, unfolded the stationery, and began to write.
The dark guard didn't know what she was going to do, but seeing that Xie Linlang got away from the blow so quickly, even though the court had already given up, she still didn't give up. At this moment, he had even more respect in his heart!
Seriously, after hearing such news, even though they were all dead guards who didn’t need much of their own emotions, they were still extremely disappointed with the court’s approach!
The power of the great country is actually in the hands of a group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death. They are sorry for the worship of the people, and they are sorry for the trust of the people. All of them should apologize with death!
In the same way, this also shows that Da Qin's roots have been rotten, and he has long lost his character, and now he doesn't even need his backbone.
Is there any help for Da Qin? Is it still necessary to save it
But after seeing Xie Linlang, and thinking of his master, Anwei felt that Da Qin's spirit was still there.
They are like sparks of fire, flickering in the darkness filled with gunpowder. As long as they are still there, then there is still hope for everything!
