"His uncle, how can you fight?"

Pan Chongche became irritable rarely. When he heard Gao Yanshou’s statement, he clearly understood that the Song people had reinforced again, but Dengzhou was also lost.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

He had been very confident before, and he asked the emperor for a report to add points to his middle lane. After all, there has been no movement for many days, which is not in line with his identity.

As soon as the banner was raised in front, it fell behind. How do you explain it?

It's fine. Originally, Xiangzhou was like a prey falling into a trap, struggling with powerlessness. In a blink of an eye, reinforcements came and everything returned to the starting point.

"Deploy the anger--" Cao Bin and others immediately persuaded: "Han Chongyun goes south, then Tongguan will be stable. Without our middle lane, how can Guanzhong be so safe?"

"With that being said, we are unwilling to accept it!"

Pan Chongche sighed and said without any hesitation: "A total of four troops, we have the imperial guards, and we have no shortage of food, grass and supplies, and the results are the least. How can we have the face to meet you and meet your colleagues?"

"Deployment, I don't want to blame us!"

Liu Guangyi said carelessly: "Xiangzhou City is strong, and its troops even reach 50,000, but now it has increased by 20,000 to 30,000, which is almost the same as ours. The military strategy is full of force. If we surround them ten times, our troops are not as good as the enemy. How can we surround them? If we don't do it well, we will be surrounded instead!"

"Yes, deployment, it has nothing to do with you-"

"No one can solve it-"

The generals quickly persuaded and comforted Pan Chongche, who was quite injured.

After some persuasion, Pan Chongche felt relieved and he whispered: "What is the Song people who have reinforcements? We have them too."

Immediately, Pan Chongche went to Changsha to send a letter, hoping that the army of Badong Prefecture would be dispatched to Jiangling, thereby suppressing the arrogance of the Song army.

Of course, he explained the situation in Dengzhou in a vague way and apologized.

Soon, the emperor received his letter and began to discuss this matter with the prime ministers of the Military Affairs Office and the Political Affairs Hall.

"The Song army in Xiangzhou City has at least 70,000 people, including 30,000 local troops and 40,000 imperial guards. Although they are second-rate soldiers, they cannot be underestimated."

Li Jia held the letter and walked, saying, "Han Chongyun went south. In other words, Tongguan was stable, and the soldiers in Xiangzhou did a great thing."

"Has the news from Guanzhong been heard?"

"Report to Your Majesty!" Li Huai quickly stood up and said respectfully: "The news came from Zhang Desert, and the local vassal states such as Dong Zunhui, Zhao Zan were unmoved, but they did not object to us. Jingzhao Prefecture is now very stable, but it is a shortage of food. After all, Hanzhong is more than 700 miles away from Chang'an."

"It's indeed far enough." Li Jia nodded and said, "It seems that these old habits of the vassal states have not changed. They still want to be a fence-making man. When the overall situation is settled, they will accept it."

"But that's good. Just comfort them for the time being and wait until Kaifeng is captured before taking action."

It conveys his own meaning and is in line with the rules, while the prime ministers express their approval.

"Where is the Eastern Route Army? So what?"

"Li's deployment has been confronted in Luzhou. The Song army has strong troops and is under the control of the city. Even if the stone-throwing chariots and cannons are used, the effect will not be ideal."

Li Huai said softly.

When the prime ministers heard this, their faces were serious, and the two troops stagnated, which was indeed not a good sign.

The emperor did not comment. He sat down and drank a glass of fruit wine, which tasted sweet and sour, and added crushed ice to remove a lot of the heat.

"Your Majesty, can you use Zhejiang troops to support again?"

When Zhao Cheng saw the emperor's face, he couldn't help but say, "Anyway, Zhejiang Prefecture is much more stable, and there are still many Zhejiang soldiers!"

"Forget it!" Li Jia shook her head and smiled contemptuously: "The Zhejiang soldiers have not been accused of war for many years, so they have been abandoned long ago. They are not as good as our inspection. In my opinion, let Jiangxi Prefecture get another 10,000 troops to head north!"

There was no Zhejiang person sitting there, so naturally there was no objection.

"No--" Li Huai responded quickly.

Li Jia frowned and said, "I feel unhappy when the troops heading to Henan Road are not moving much. I ask them to cut off the grain transportation. Kaifeng does not lack food."

Everyone who was sitting here knew that the emperor was worried about Li Wei's safety. After all, he was an old minister who followed him in the secret residence, so he was really worried.

"Li Dianzhe is now conquering the city and pursuing Gao Huaide, and I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Huai naturally knew what the emperor meant and said softly, but he was envious in his heart. He had once seen the emperor take the initiative to care for foreign ministers, and in public.

After relaxing slightly, Li Jia continued to ask: "How to solve the problem of food shortage in Guanzhong?"

This is an important problem. If the lack of food and grass in Guanzhong is not solved, it will definitely not be beneficial for stabilizing Guanzhong, let alone Dongfa.

"Your Majesty, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the canal rivers south, passed through Bianliang, Luoyang, and then went to Chang'an. The annual income was four million stones, and Guanzhong was not afraid of lack of food. Therefore, once the Anshi rebels conquered Luoyang, the court could not wait to let the army go east to Tongguan."

Sun Zhao quickly stood up and spoke, "Now Chang'an is broken and Guanzhong is broken. Both the military and civilians are less than one of the tenths of the previous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the supply of tens of thousands of troops and military and civilians is estimated by the empress, at least 400,000 or 500,000 shi."

"What do you want to tell me?" Li Jia was a little confused when she heard this information.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for Shu Road to supply this kind of food. Only by opening up Wu Pass can you truly occupy Guanzhong and break through Guandong."

Sun Zhao quickly bowed.

"I understand!" Li Jia woke up and said in a deep voice: "You can't drag it out in Xiangzhou anymore. The court can drag it out, but Guanzhong cannot drag it out. You must conquer Xiangzhou as soon as possible, and import grain from Wuguan into Guanzhong to solve the urgent problem."

Therefore, Zhuge Liang did not adopt the Ziwu strategy, and did not follow the Shu Road. He went to Longyou because even if he was defeated, he could not defend himself without enough food supply.

"Li Dianzhe is now conquering the city and pursuing Gao Huaide, and I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Huai naturally knew what the emperor meant and said softly, but he was envious in his heart. He had once seen the emperor take the initiative to care for foreign ministers, and in public.

Sun Zhao quickly bowed.
