Since being grounded, Lei Qi has been very silent at home.

Eat, sleep, and just read the map in the study if you have nothing to do.

After looking back and forth, I didn't sleep at night. I spent the whole night squatting in the study, with figures flickering, and I didn't know what I was thinking about.

When an old husband and wife are old, there is naturally no passion, so if they don't sleep at night, the old wife won't think wrong.

But when it was time to eat, the man was still thinking in the study, and the whole family did not dare to call him, which made the old wife unable to bear it.

She came to the study room angrily, "What are you thinking about, husband? Your Majesty has already said that he should be grounded, and the whole family will have to worry about being exiled! Let's eat! After this meal, I don't know where the next meal will be.

Where to eat!"

What can I eat on the road of exile?

Lei Qi looked up, his hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was stunned for a moment, "Have you eaten yet?"

The old wife said angrily: "Eat! The whole family is waiting for you!"

"oh!"

Just as Lei Qi was about to get up, he heard noisy sounds coming from outside.

"We lost, we lost!"

"Shiro is useless!"

"The Tang army is about to attack Bianjing!"

Lei Qi was startled, "Failed? It shouldn't have been so fast!"

The old wife sighed, "It has nothing to do with us, just eat!"

Lei Qi smiled bitterly, "Yes! It has nothing to do with us!"

Knock knock knock!

There have been no visitors to the Lei family in the past few days. The knock on the door at this moment made the servants frightened, fearing that they were coming to arrest someone.

This battle was a huge defeat. The court had to find several targets. Bai Xiong and Lei Qi both couldn't escape.

A servant was pushed out to open the door, and he carefully opened a gap.

Outside the door is a waiter.

The servant's heart trembled, and he smiled apologetically and said, "Are you here to look for my Alang?"

"yes."

The door opens.

The servants knelt on the ground consciously.

Because the chamberlain was followed by dozens of guards.

The waiter was stunned, then waved his hand, "You can stay here."

Lei Qi is here.

"Chief Lei, your Majesty has summoned you."

When he arrived at the palace, Nian Xu's first question was: "Does Lei Qing have any strategy to defend against the enemy?"

Important officials gathered in the palace.

Lei Qi said: "I still don't know how this battle will go."

A disgraced general stood up and said, "This battle was triggered by a ranger battle, and the two armies started fighting directly."

Shiro is too impatient!

Lei Qi took a look inside the hall. Sun Shi and others were standing on one side, looking high-spirited, while Peng Jing and others were on the other side, looking disgraced.

The difference is clear!

Yes!

Shiro is forced to do this!

"The Tang army was tenacious and broke through our right wing. Then Zhang Huan launched an attack. Our army collapsed after a moment of support."

"Where is the army?" Lei Qi asked.

The general bowed his head and said, "Many were captured. Some entered Yongzhou City and some escaped to Bianjing."

"Why is it like this?" Lei Qi didn't expect that he would be banned for only a few days, but the battle would collapse.

He had been thinking about this battle on the map for the past few days, so he was confident when he spoke.

"Your Majesty, this battle is unwinnable."

This is the basis. If the emperor insists that this battle can turn defeat into victory, then he would rather go back and continue to be banned.

There was a hint of disappointment in Nian Xu's eyes... He had indeed thought about the possibility of turning defeat into victory, "I know."

Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The morale of the Tang army is as high as a rainbow at the moment. Our army must not go out to fight. We must be careful everywhere."

Nian Xu nodded.

"The second step is to ask people to go outside the city and bring all the people and food back to the city. Throw some feces and urine into the well. In a word, take away whatever can be used by the Tang army. Anything that cannot be taken away will be destroyed.

Lose!"

"Do you want to strengthen the wall and clear the country?"

"Yes." Lei Qi saluted, "Your Majesty, after the defeat, it is difficult to boost the morale of our army. When the Tang army comes from far away, it will definitely be short of food and grass. In this way, we can adopt the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness. The Tang army has no food and has no choice but to retreat."

A very ordinary countermeasure!

Nian Xu pondered for a long time.

He is not willing to give in!

Lei Qi finally said: "Moreover, your Majesty, please order all the people to be diligent!"

"This will shake the country and the country!" Sun Shi categorically objected. "Once the kings from all over the country are ordered to be diligent, those people will think that the Great Zhou Dynasty is unsustainable. Even if the Tang army retreats, the mess left behind will probably take decades to calm down."

Lei Qi said: "It's just around Bianjing."

"Make a gesture?" Sun Shi's eyes lit up.

Lei Qi nodded, "If I guess correctly, the Tang army just wanted to make a gesture and retreat with dignity."

Nian Xu perked up, "Are you sure what Lei Qing said?"

"Yes!" Lei Qi said with certainty: "I said that the Tang army came from afar and lacked food and grass. If a lone army goes deep, it will inevitably be frightened. When King Qin's order is issued, the Tang army will definitely want to retreat!"

This series of coping methods can be called a chain, one link after another.

"Lei Qing is a great talent, let's act accordingly!" Nian Xu decided, "Lei Qing will be in charge of the rest of this battle!"

When Lei Qi saw the displeasure on the faces of the important ministers, he felt cold in his heart and quickly declined, "Your Majesty, my talents are few and far between, and I am not qualified to lead an army. I sincerely request your Majesty to send some important ministers to serve as commanders."

——You can just let a junior official take charge, but don’t let me be at the front.

I'm scared of them!

Nian Xu turned his eyes and said, "That's fine, Fang Qing."

Fang Chong was in a state of wandering mind, and he woke up after being pushed.

"Fang Qing takes command!"

What?

I'm in charge?

Fang Chong couldn't believe it, and then thought of something, "Take the order!"

The ministers dispersed.

Nian Xu sat there, looking a little lonely.

He suddenly asked: "Fang Chong is not good at martial arts, and he has suffered a new defeat, but I still put him in command and draw the bow. Are you surprised?"

Xie Yingong nodded.

"Sun Xiang and the others looked a little unhappy."

"I know." Nian Xu said calmly: "I wish I could chop Fang Chong and others alive, but I have to keep them and even reuse them."

Xie Yingong's head almost dropped to his chest.

He knew that the emperor really had murderous intentions.

"The emperors of the Zhou Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. This was said by Emperor Taizu.

As a result, civil servants became the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty.

Nowadays, the national situation is difficult, and I am determined to innovate, so I asked Sun Shi and others to take the lead.

Fang Chong and others obstructed me in every possible way, and I deeply hate them!

But once I expel Peng Jing and others, the country will become the domain of Sun Shi and others.
