As a barrier to Yizhou, Fangzhou should be heavily guarded. But with the dangerous Yangling Pass in front of it, the defenders of Fangzhou felt that they were just a decoration.

Therefore, when the news of the fall of Yangling Pass came, the Fangzhou defender was dumbfounded.

"It was lost?"

"yes!"

Guard Du Que was stunned for more than ten breaths, then slapped his forehead, "Quick, hurry up and report to your Majesty!"

"Close the city gate. From today on, no entry or exit is allowed!"

Du Que kicked his subordinates, but his heart fell to the bottom.

Yangling Pass is lost!

What to do in Fangzhou?

…

Tongcheng.

Tongcheng is very beautiful in late autumn. On the stone streets, children are running wildly and adults are yelling and cursing...

When Wang Da catches his son, he beats him up. The neighbor persuades him: "Brother Wang, why are you so angry?"

Wang Da slapped his son's butt hard and said, "Your clothes are so torn, how can I get the money to buy you new clothes? If you don't obey me, I'll beat you to death!"

A woman passing by carrying a bamboo basket said, "This is my temper. You were also like this when you were a child!"

Wang Da smiled bitterly, "The taxes at that time were not that high. After paying the taxes this year, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive next year's wheat harvest. Should the whole family go to drink the northwest wind?"

The woman sighed, "This year's life is indeed difficult."

"I'm not just sad, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive!" said an old man squatting outside his home: "I said all the money and food collected were used to feed the army."

"Raising a large army, who are you guarding against?" Wang Da let go of his son, "The Chang'an army is coming, and with this big battle, our Shu land will be flooded with blood again."

"Not necessarily." The old man said firmly: "Yangling Pass is here!"

Yanglingguan is the protector of Shu.

"Too!"

The woman nodded.

Wang Da squatted down dejectedly, "But if the Chang'an army cannot defeat us, next year or the year after, the taxes will be collected like this. We will starve to death before the Chang'an army comes."

The woman glanced at him and said, "I didn't hear anything." Then she ran away like a gust of wind.

"Afraid of a bird!" Wang cursed: "If a person dies with his eggs in the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years! I don't want to be a bachelor and show off my clothes!"

The old man said quietly: "Then do you want the Chang'an army to invade? Or something."

Wang Da blurted out, "Of course I'll call in."

"Yangling Pass is here!"

"I bet that Yangling Pass cannot be defended!" Wang Da said.

After saying that, he looked around and saw more than ten neighbors staring at him.

"Ouch...I drank too much!" Wang Da ran over, picked up his son and left, turning back as he walked, "I drank too much!"

"Boss Wang, if you don't treat me to a drink, I will sue the government later!" a neighbor joked and threatened.

"That's right, Wang Da, your baby seems to be fine, why don't you make an appointment with my girl?"

A child ran into the alley like flying, his shoes that were not wearing were slapped on the stone pavement, making a clicking sound.

"Yangling Pass is lost!"

Wang Er turned back abruptly.

Then, there was a frying pan outside.

"Yangling Pass is lost."

"God, this army is coming."

The commotion kept spreading.

In other words, this news is true.

My mouth... Wang Da swears that he just said it casually to vent his anger!

The neighbors slowly looked at Wang Da.

"Wang Da, tell me again, can Fangzhou be defended?"

"Brother Wang, I'll come home later for a drink. I cut a strip of old bacon, steamed it and sliced ​​it. It's very delicious."

"Brother Wang..."

The autumn wind blew through the alley and hurriedly delivered the news, but it did not cause the expected shock. The child was stunned. He tilted his head and looked at everyone, almost treating Wang Da as a god.

Then, he asked curiously: "Your Majesty, Chang'an, is coming?"

…

"There is no day like this!"

In the court hall, Zheng Qi was spitting passionately.

"If you don't mention taxes, where will the money and food come from to support the army? Without an army, how can we counterattack the key points?"

This is political correctness.

He sprayed so heartily that no one dared to refute him. The people were in dire straits! Why were the people rebelling?

You dare to say that you are ignoring the overall situation and the emperor will deal with you later. Everyone will just applaud and snatch the official position you vacated.

Li Mi looked at the ministers and said calmly: "My lords, please don't forget Chang'an!"

"I always dream about Chang'an, and I dream about Chen's Leng Tao on Zhuque Street. A bowl of it in this weather, the coolness will make your whole body feel comfortable."

One of the ministers sighed.

"Zhang Qing." Li Mi looked at Zhang Huan, the black-headed snake, "There is probably a fierce battle over there at Yangling Pass. Is there anything important?"

This was for Zhang Huan to correct his omissions.

Zhang Huan glanced at Zheng Yuandong.

Zheng Yuandong looks at his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, as if he is a master of Taoism.

Could it be that this guy has been practicing closed-mouth meditation recently?

Zhang Huan had no choice but to go out and say: "Your Majesty, Yangling Pass is a dangerous place. This battle only depends on the general. The general can inspire morale, so even if Yang Ni has millions of troops under his command, he can only do nothing!"

He felt that this answer was impeccable.

Li Mi was not satisfied, "What I mean is that maybe... we can counterattack?"

Zhang Huan: "..."

Counterattack?

In this situation, if the Yangling Pass defenders dared to attack, Li Xuanneng would laugh his ass off.

"Your Majesty, it's difficult." Zhang Huan did not dare to refute this opinion directly, "Then Yang Ni..."

He hesitated again and again.

Zheng Yuandong said faintly: "That man is the ancestor of the sneak attack!"

The emperor shut up.

Zhang Huan smiled dryly.

I feel that there is something wrong with Lao Zheng's attitude and it is not tactful enough.

"His Majesty!"

The chamberlain came outside and wanted to break in, but was stopped by the guard.

Han Shitou walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"A messenger from Fangzhou wants to see you."

Han Shitou looked past the chamberlain and saw the messenger.

He felt a touch of despair.

"Your Majesty, there is a messenger from Fangzhou who wants to see you."

The emperor nodded, and Han Shitou came in with the messenger.

The messenger came in and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Yangling Pass...is lost!"

It seemed as if someone had cast a large-scale secret technique on the hall, and it suddenly froze.

Li Mi still looked a little dissatisfied.
To be continued...
