The carrier pigeons from Datong sent messages to Taiyuan, Muye and Beijing.

When the carrier pigeon arrived in the capital, it was actually only three quarters of an hour later than Xiong Wenqing's Makino City.

It was already the hour of Xu at night.

At this time, the Prime Minister and the officials of the six ministries had already paid the deposit, and most of them had already rested.

However, no one of the places on duty should be slacked off.

So, after the information arrived at the Pigeon Center of the Ministry of War, after a quick copy, he immediately notified the Minister of War Zhou Zhixiao.

After Zhou Zhixiao arrived, he immediately rushed into the imperial city and knocked on the palace gate.

Shortly after he entered the palace, dozens of horses rushed out of the palace and rushed towards the residences of all the prime ministers and generals.

In less than half an hour, the four prime ministers, Feng Yuqiang, the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Wanyan Yi, the general of the Hu Ben Guard, Fang Kaiyue, the general of the Jinwu Guard, Pan Yunchen, the general of the Leopard Cavalry Guard, and Gao Jing, the general of the Embroidered Guard, arrived at the Ganqing Palace.

There is also the marginalized former deputy prime minister Nangong Ji, who was also invited.

The brightly lit Ganqing Palace, Emperor Jinghe and Zhou Zhixiao, the Yulin Guard General Jiang Shaoji, and the Qianniu Guard General Lu Song, were waiting for their arrival with a serious look on their faces.

While on the way, Qianniu Guards had already informed them of what had happened.

So the ministers' expressions were also very serious.

The ministers sat in their seats, and Emperor Jing and Emperor were also sitting on the side, with a huge map hanging in the middle.

Zhou Zhixiao, who had already made various preparations in the palace, stood up and picked up a bamboo whip, pointed to the map and said, "Please look, this is where the beggars are found. Their distribution is about this. It is said that the scale is about 100,000, or more will come."

"Strange, there is no reason!" Fang Kaiyue, the general of the Jinwu Guard, who had always been steady, said in confusion: "If they want to attack the defense line of Datong Great Wall, why do they face the fortress like such heavy troops and not do scattered guerrillas? Do they have any new weapons that can directly blow out all the fortresses like His Royal Highness De?"

Three of the four prime ministers didn't understand, and Ge Songdao next to him explained: "When facing such dense fortresses on our side, they usually don't rush over directly, but choose to scatter the attack. Otherwise, the crowds will get even more harm."

Taoist Ge Song has been in the southwest border for many years, and there are countless fortresses there. He often encounters such things, so he is very experienced.

But to be honest, the number and scale of these fortresses on the defense line of the Great Wall in the Northern Great Wall have been much greater than that in the southwest, and their defensiveness has been much improved.

As long as Dakang stays vigilant and his military strength does not decline, it will be difficult for the enemy to fight in.

So he also thought that the Qiyan tribe was crazy?

If you say it is Shiwei, Xiqiang, or even Uighurs, it is a unified large tribe or even country, and it is common for you to attack these fortresses, but what are you doing with a fragmented Qiyan?

All the people are exhausted, aren’t you waiting to be annexed by others?

Ge Songdao not only thought, he also expressed this idea.

This idea was agreed by the generals present.

Emperor Jinghe asked Gao Jing: "Zixuan, do you have any prerequisite information?"

Gao Jing was a little nervous: "Report to Your Majesty, we don't have many spies on Qiyan's side, and no intelligence has been sent back recently."

"Um?"

Emperor Jing He frowned and said, "The embroidered yarn guard monitors the world, why doesn't there be a complete system even in a place as big as Qiyan?"

Gao Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Because the Embroidered Uniform Guards' funds are insufficient, our main destinations are the Western Qiang, the Uighurs and Shi Wei... so the information lags behind in Qiyan."

"Nothing!"

Jing Hedi slapped the table and said, "I'll ask for excuses! Look! Now people are hitting our doorstep! But you don't know? Then what's the use of embroidering wardrobe guards? Gao Zixuan, you disappointed me so much!"

Gao Jing quickly leaned down and didn't dare to defend himself for a moment.

However, Nangong Ji next to him said to him, "Your Majesty, in the past three years, due to the increase in various disaster relief expenses, we have paid 60% of the funds for the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

With such a level, there is no need to mention expansion. Many of the previous networks are probably unbearable! It’s not entirely true that Governor Gao can be blamed."

Gao Jing heard this and tears were almost coming out.

Is it easy for me?

It’s not just the funding issue that Nangong Xiang mentioned. In the past year, various investigations and investigations on embezzlements have not consumed energy?

Those spies who were arranged outside the domain had no way to get in touch with advanced affairs on weekdays.

Especially for the fragmented tribe tribes like Qiyan, among the tribes that attacked this time, there are spies from the Embroidered Uniform Guards or a question.

I also want to take control of everything, but what should you do if you don’t have money?

However, Emperor Jing He didn't buy it much. He was in anger at this moment, so how could he think about others?

Seeing the emperor talking again, Jiang Shaoji interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, can we consider taking part of the imperial guards to Taiyuan and obeying Governor Xiong's order? If Shi Wanliang leads his troops out, his troops will still be a little weak!"

"Don't be so nervous, right?" Cao Yi said in a pondering manner: "Now, according to the investigation, there are only about 100,000 people in this group of begging Yan. How can a hundred thousand people break through the defense line of the Datong Great Wall? Moreover, according to our plan, Shi Wanliang will lead 50,000 people to rush to reinforce Datong. Zhu Xingjun will lead 25,000 imperial guards and six guards to support him in search of opportunities to attack. Isn't that enough?"

"It's not just the Datong defense line." Lu Song explained here: "Qi Yan faces our northern defense line directly. There are Yulin, Zhangjiakou, Shuozhou and other places. Will there be begging soldiers in these places beside the border?

If there are 200,000 to 300,000 Qiyan troops in several directions, the entire northern defense line will be too much pressure. Once a place is broken, all their tribes can enter the mainland through there, burn, kill, loot and loot.

Therefore, Governor Xiong, who is too far away, cannot have only 50,000 border troops. We should send more personnel so that he can face it calmly."

"No."

Cao Yi shook his head, "I don't think things are that simple. Let's take a look first. Don't use your trump card too early, keep calm."

As he said that, he sneered: "Even Qiyan wants to dig a piece of meat from Dakang, it's a joke! I want to see how good their teeth are! Eat our northern defense line and will it collapse or not!"

Although Cao Yi has rarely controlled Wenyuan Pavilion recently, he still stood up at a critical moment, showing his responsibility and authority as the first person in the court.

At this time, as long as Cao Yi becomes hard, unless the emperor speaks, other prime ministers and generals will not be able to refute him in public.

Besides, many people think Cao Yi is right.

"Um……"

Ge Songdao was the first to express his approval: "I also think that the beggar man cannot go crazy. Maybe he has any help. We cannot panic. We must first calm down and then see if something happens."

Jing Hedi frowned and asked, "What do you mean...is it's very likely that there are risks elsewhere?"

Ge Songdao nodded: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Qiyan has millions of people. If they unite, our entire northern defense line will face at least millions of troops!"

The grassland tribe is just a little trouble.

Explosive soldiers are first-class and strong.

As long as the conscript order is issued, young men who are fourteen or fifteen years old, and those who are over forty years old will put on armor, bring weapons and bows and arrows, gather together on horseback, and rush towards Dakang like locusts...

Jing Hedi was not a fool, and was shocked when he heard this: "You mean... they will attack with all their might?"

"uncertain."

Pan Yunchen, the general of the Leopard Cavalry Guard, judged, "But the next two days are very important! If they start the attack today, it will prove that it is really dangerous!"

"What's dangerous?"

At this time, Wanyan Yi, the general of the Hu Ben Guard, who had not spoken before, spoke, "The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to cover the enemy's land. They want to attack us, occupy our territory, kill our people, and rob our food and treasures. What can we do?

As a soldier, I have been training for so long and preparing for so long, aren’t I just waiting for this day? I’m afraid of anything else, but I’m not afraid of these messes! Your Majesty, as long as the general is still breathing, the beggar will not be able to make a comeback!"

Wanyan Yi spoke a little arrogantly, but he had the strength and confidence.

Six major field imperial guards, plus the Yulin Guard rotating on all four sides.

Of course, the Yulin Guards are the most crazy among the seven troops and like to provoke enemies the most.

Next is Wanyan Yi's Hu Ben Guard.

In the past fifteen years, the Hu Ben Guard has participated in the conflict between Dakang and the evil neighbors on all sides of the country seven times. Generally, the most dangerous place is to send them wherever they are.

Every time they dare not say they have a complete advantage, but they have never been afraid.

The most tragic time was a chasing battle with the most elite Western King Army of the Uighurs on the grassland.

In this battle, more than 3,000 people died in the Western King's Army, and the Hu Ben Guard also died only more than 3,000 people. Their combat effectiveness made the Uighurs not dare to underestimate these Dakang Imperial Guards. w.

Seeing Wanyan Yi's indifferent and fighting look, the sorrow and panic that had just been surrounded by Emperor Jing and Emperor's heart unknowingly reduced a lot.

He looked at the civil servants and military generals around him again, and his heart gradually calmed down again.

However, at this moment, there were suddenly rapid footsteps outside, and they headed straight into the Qianqing Palace.

Generally speaking, there is only one possibility for people who rush into the most central area without passing the news!

Everyone was shocked.

He looked at the Qianniu Guard sergeant who was rushing in with all his eyes.

The Qianniu Guard soldier was almost dead, but he still ran three feet away from the emperor, holding a document in his hands and bowing down.

"Report...Datong's latest emergency flying pigeon has arrived!!"
