The war reports from all walks of life can be summed up in two words: reinforcement! However, Xiao Xiang can't afford reinforcements at all. In any case, the capital city is the top priority. It's impossible to send out all the soldiers without leaving.
Oh! Xiao Xiang stood up and sighed, and paced back and forth in the study. Just at this time, a maid came in from outside, and Fu Shen said, "king, general Xue is asking to see you outside the palace!"
"Who?" Xiao Xiang didn't respond for a while. She frowned and looked at the maid who reported the news. The maid carefully replied, "it's general Xue Rongxue!"
"It's him!" If the maiden did not name Xue Rong, Xiao Xiang almost forgot the existence of this person. Xue Rong was once a famous general of Sichuan, but he declined in recent years, and the cause of his decline was Fengguo.
At that time, the commander of the Sichuan army was Xue Rong. As a result, Xue Rong was repeatedly frustrated in the battle with the Feng army. Finally, he had to be defeated and returned to Sichuan, and Huan was successfully annexed by Feng state.
After returning home, Xue Rong, as a defeated general, not only suffered a cold reception from Xiao Xuan, but also was demoted to be knighted, and the superior general was reduced to general Si Li.
General Si Li is similar to a general in town hall, but he has no real power, let alone military power.
Xue Rong, who had been silent for so long, suddenly came to see her. Xiao Xiang was quite surprised. She didn't want to see Xue Rong at first. But on second thought, Xue Rong was once a famous general. It's good to hear his views on the current predicament.
She nodded and said to the maiden, "please come to the study."
"Yes! King The maiden agreed and bowed out.
Not long, Xue Rong came in from outside. Seeing Xiao Xiang, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "the last general Xue Rong, see the king!"
"General Xue, please rise!" Xiao Xiang waved her hand slowly. After Xue Rong got up, she asked casually, "what can I do for general Xue's late night request to see my king?"
Xue Rong's face was positive, and said, "the last general is worried about the war situation ahead, so I dare to ask for a meeting at night. Please forgive me."
Xiao Xiang nodded, opened the door and asked, "general Xue must have some understanding of the current situation of the war. Our country is short of troops at present. Can general Xue have a good strategy?"
Xue Rong lowered his head slowly and whispered: "this..."
Xiao Xiangyang head said: "there is no outsider here. If general Xue has anything to say, just say it clearly."
Xue Rong pondered for a moment. Fang said, "the king wanted soldiers, but it's not without them. The king took the family army of the twelve route princes as laborers and sent them to build the Tianshang canal. Although they confiscated their weapons and equipment, they were soldiers after all. As long as they didn't become old, weak and disabled, their fighting power would be especially strong. As long as they put down their hoes and put on armor again If you take up your weapons, you can immediately send them to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy. "
Yo! Xue Rong's words reminded Xiao Xiang that it was true that those family soldiers who had been taken as laborers could indeed turn them back into soldiers on the battlefield. When Xue Rong finished, her eyes were bright.
Seeing this, Xue Rong sighed and went on: "king, there is a sentence at the end of which I don't know when to speak."
Xiao Xiang's face brightened and her nerves relaxed. She said with a smile, "general Xue, if you have something to say, just say it."
Xue Rong said: "even if our country pulls all the labors who built the Tianshang canal to the battlefield, it will not change the current predicament of our country. Both Fengzhen and Fengzhen armies are the best troops that the general has ever seen. If the two armies fight each other, they will surely lose both. But if they join hands, they can sweep the whole world and no one can defeat them. Now, Fengzhen and Fengzhen armies are obviously already After joint efforts, no matter how many additional troops our country has sent, it will be difficult to compete with the joint forces of Feng Zhen. Besides, Fengguo has only sent out eight legions, and behind them are the direct subordinate army and the hundred battle army with stronger fighting power... "
Xiao Xiang's face just emerged from the joy disappeared, replaced by a full face of worry. Xue Rong's words are not pleasant to listen to, but it does not mean that there is no reason. Sichuan is now close to the limit, and there are still a lot of trumps in Feng's hand.
For the time being, the direct subordinate army and the hundred battle army that have not been put into the battlefield will not be mentioned. If it comes to the time when the Feng army is in danger, the jade state, which has always been attached to the Fengguo Kingdom, will surely send troops to reinforce him. In addition, Ren Xiao, who has a deep personal relationship with Tang Yin, has now taken the throne of the holy king of Shenchi. When the war situation is unfavorable to Fengguo, Shenchi will certainly help.
Is it possible for Sichuan to compete with Fengguo and other complicated forces related to Fengguo? What's more, there are fierce and savage virgins standing with feng people now.
Xiao Xiangyue wanted to get more headache. She raised her hand and gently rubbed her forehead. She asked, "in general Xue's opinion, what should we do now?"
Xue Rong looked up at Xiao Xiang and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, lowered his head, and bit his lips tightly.
Seeing his appearance of being eager to speak, Xiao Xiang was anxious and said in a deep voice, "now is the time. If general Xue has something to say, don't hesitate any more."
Xue Rong took his heart and said, "there is only one way out for today, that is Down"What?" Xiao Xiang doubted that her ears were wrong. She stood up and looked at Xue Rong with wide apricot eyes. Did Xue Rong dare to say yes in front of him? Was he too bold, or did he think he was too good to cheat?
Bang! Standing there, Xiao Xiang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly patted the table and angrily rebuked: "Xue Rong, you are so bold that you should persuade the king to surrender to the enemy country..."
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xue Rong quickly explained: "the king misunderstands that the final surrender is not to surrender to Fengren or Zhenren, but to surrender to the emperor."
"Yes?" Xiao Xiang's anger on his face slowly turned into a daze, did not understand what Xue Rong said.
Xue Rong said: "Fengguo has been fighting all over the world under the banner of reclaiming the fiefdoms for the emperor. Now our country has surrendered to the emperor and returned our Sichuan land to the emperor. In this way, the Fengguo has no excuse to attack Sichuan and the war naturally stops."
Xiao Xiang narrowed her eyes and said, "but if you do this, there will be no more Sichuan in the world."
"It is better to surrender to the emperor and hand over the fiefdom to the Emperor than to be destroyed by Feng Zhen."
While speaking, Xue Rong fell on his knees with a thump and said in a trembling voice: "if we fight again, we will only increase the casualties of our children in Sichuan, and it will not help anything. I hope the king will think twice and take the lives of our children in Sichuan as the most important thing."
Looking at Xue Rong, who was kneeling on the ground with tears and tears, Xiao Xiang slowly sat back on the collapse and handed over the fiefdom to the emperor. That was equivalent to actively subjugating the country. But if not, could Sichuan survive? I'm afraid it will be even worse. In the end, it will become a river of blood for the children of Sichuan people, and it will be hard to escape the fate of destroying the country.
Xiao Xiang didn't speak for a long time, her eyes were dull and her face was changeable.
Seeing this, Xue Ronglian kowtowed to her and said in a quick voice, "king, the blood shed by our children in Sichuan has been enough. If we continue to fight, not only will the Sichuan land become rubble, but also the blood of Sichuan people will flow..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Xiao Xiang waved her hand and said without expression: "don't say any more. I've heard your advice. Go down first!"
"King..."
"Go down!" Xiao Xiang took the case and drank furiously, his eyes almost burst into flames. Xue Rong excites Lingling to fight a cold war. He doesn't dare to say more. He kowtows to Xiao Xiang, then stands up and walks out slowly.
After Xue Rong left, Xiao Xiang's tears also fell. She couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. Is it true that Sichuan, which has been glorious for thousands of years, is going to die at her own hands? Is your name really to be despised by generations of Sichuan people?
Xue Rong's voice was a heavy blow to Xiao Xiang, but soon, a heavier blow appeared. A few days later, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yu, the second and third childe, both escaped from Zhaoyang in the turbulent period of the imperial court.
Xiao Yuan fled to the south, colluded with the remaining feudal forces, held high the banner of impeachment of Xiao Xiang, and wanted to stand on his own as king and fight against the precarious imperial court of Sichuan.
If Xiao Yuan's actions are still within the scope of Xiao Xiang's acceptance, then Xiao Yu's actions are totally unbearable to Xiao Xiang.
Xiao Yu didn't follow Xiao Yuan to the south, but went north to Fengguo. This incident had a great impact on the morale of the state of Sichuan and even the Sichuan army. We should know that Xiao Yu is a royal family, and he is the brother of the king of Sichuan. He chose to go to Fengguo, which is a strong message to all the people of Sichuan. The state of Sichuan is no longer in use. It is impossible to describe the current situation of Sichuan in terms of its precarious situation It's a dilemma, but it's already on the verge of disintegration.
Xiao Yuan fled to the south to confront the imperial court openly, and Xiao Yu suddenly defected to Fengguo. These two things made the state of Sichuan, which has been in a desperate situation, even worse. Xiao Yu's defection led many Sichuan people to take refuge in the north with their families and even began to flee before the two armies.
Two months later, there was bad news from Shiling county. The Sichuan army trapped in Fengwu was completely annihilated by the Zhen army. Commander in chief Jin Zhuo, together with Deputy commanders Yang Zhao and LV you, died in their lives.
After the war report was sent back to Zhaoyang, it was a fatal blow to the imperial court of the state of Sichuan.
Four hundred thousand troops were destroyed. Jin Zhuo, Yang Zhao and LV you were all famous generals of the state of Sichuan. Even such famous generals were killed in the battle. Who can resist the Zhen army? Who can save Sichuan?
Now, let alone the despair of the people of Sichuan, even Xiao Xiang and the imperial court of Sichuan can not see any hope, and the fear of destroying the country is spreading like a plague in Zhaoyang.
It is time for Xiao Xiang to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to fight the enemy with the strength of the whole country or to lay down weapons and surrender.
