Chapter 62 The situation is urgent

As the eldest son of Zhao State, Chu Liangsheng, his mother died shortly after giving birth to him many years ago. It is precisely for this reason that although his identity is very important, he is far inferior to the honor of the queen's legitimate son Chu Jiangmian.

Chu Liangsheng, who has been practicing martial arts hard since he was a child, wanted to one day he could take over the sword from his father's hand and lead the soldiers of Zhao to gallop on the battlefield and become famous. But at this moment, facing the anxious look of the prime minister's righteousness, he mustered up the courage several times and wanted to ask for orders, but finally swallowed the words again.

Because, whenever he wants to be excited once, he will think of what the teacher he taught him said, and his emotions will immediately calm down. The teacher was hired by his mother when she was still there. She has helped him grow for so many years and is very trustworthy.

"Young master has a special status and should not go out to fight on the battlefield. If you take risks, you will not be worth the loss and are harmful or useless. You should always live in Longcheng. If you have the opportunity, you will help the king handle more government affairs, share his worries and win his favor... This is the best way."

Although Chu Liangsheng sometimes disagrees with these words, he thinks it makes sense when his wings are not able to fly.

In a situation like today, if you ask for a fight rashly, it is certainly not the best time. Therefore, after listening to Fei Yi’s remarks, he temporarily chose to remain silent.

The tension that Zhao State is about to face is likely to be the most serious in so many years. No one dares to bear it easily. It is not that he does not have the courage, but that he does not have such ability. There is only one person with this ability, that is, King Zhao Chulie. But he may not have the strength to draw out the sword again.

This time it was not a formal small military meeting, but a military information briefing held at the instruction of King Zhao. It was impossible to formulate response measures immediately. However, even so, after learning about the real dilemma faced by Zhao, everyone's heart was already extremely heavy.

"The situation is already so critical. Will the Jiuxing Mountain hunting tomorrow be held as scheduled, and will the king still leave Jinxiang Palace in person?"

Finally, someone asked in a low voice. This question was something that several people were confused about. Although they had not received the summons from King Zhao recently, they all knew it according to the rumors. King Zhao's physical condition was very unoptimistic. For Zhao State and their people, this is a matter of unparalleled blessings and disasters never come in singularity!

"This is something that has been decided long ago, and of course it will not change. Moreover, King Zhao will also set out with the army in person, which he just told me today."

The Prime Minister Fei Yi answered very affirmatively. As the old friend who is most trusted by King Zhao, his words are naturally worthy of trust. Everyone's mood is somewhat calmer. Since King Zhao can still ride a war horse, it means that things are not so bad that they are unimaginable. As long as he is here, even if he is attacked from all sides, everyone will still have the confidence to persevere.

"Are General Long Yu and the Dragon Cavalry in Long City ready? For the sake of the king's safety, you must ensure that everything is foolproof and there is no omission during the trip to Jiuxing Mountain!"

Fei Yi raised his voice and summoned outside the hall gate. Someone came in and made a loud promise.

"The last general is here! Since receiving the order of the king, all the Dragon Cavalry soldiers have made all preparations. Even the Jiuxing Mountains are under control. Everything can be assured and assured as possible!"

Long Yu, who was wearing armor and standing on his sword, looked a little excited on his face. This young guard general had just assumed the responsibility of commanding the Dragon Cavalry not long ago. It can be said that it was a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and felt a great responsibility.

The Dragon Cavalry Army, the most elite cavalry force in Zhao State, can be said to be a trump card in the hands of King Zhao. Although the number of people in a hundred battles is only more than 10,000 now, no matter which one is a brave man who has truly experienced iron-blooded fighting. His combat power is extraordinary.

The original general of this cavalry was Zheng Liancheng. However, the veteran, who is now in his seventies, is too old. Although he has always been named a general, King Zhao has forced him to rest at home many years ago. Therefore, the command of this ace cavalry army has actually always been in the hands of King Zhao himself.

The soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry followed him several times to participate in wars, and were well-known. Now, as the king grows old, it is difficult to fight again. As he has no choice but to temporarily hand it over to a younger general to command. Long Yu is the person chosen by King Zhao himself.

Fei Yi nodded. He believed that King Zhao's vision of people would not be wrong. Although Long Yu was young, he was extremely loyal and brave. After training, he would definitely be able to shoulder this burden. He was about to wave his hand to let him retreat, but he saw that the young general seemed to have worked hard to muster up the courage, and stepped forward and crossed his hands and said loudly.

"The Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I will be entrusted by the soldiers and want to ask the Prime Minister to tell the King on his behalf... Now there are enemies in all directions, and the country's situation is in critical condition. The so-called raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. All the soldiers in Longcheng are willing to ask for orders. If the King's order is under the order, they will immediately go on the horse and go to the battlefield to defend the peace of our Zhao Kingdom with passion in their hearts!"

The young general's voice was generous and heroic. The reason why he volunteered was because he and other soldiers had already been in a fire in their hearts these days. Isn't it because the news of the king's injuries finally spread? What kind of cat and dog dare to raise an army to bully him? In the hearts of these proud young soldiers, King Zhao's majesty is like a god, and any blasphemy is unforgivable. Not to mention the defeated generals of Yan State, what is there to be afraid of if Qin and Wei State! Who is stronger and weak? Only by doing a real sword and gun can you decide the outcome!

"General Long Yu, don't be impulsive. When you fight, you will fight! The most important task of the Dragon Cavalry now is to protect Longcheng and the King, and don't think too much about anything else. The guards on all sides of the border of Zhao State are enough to have the ability to withstand any enemy's attack..."

Fei Yi's deepest concerns would not be seen by anyone. He tried to keep a calm tone, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person who rushed back to report the news.

A letter from the Eight Hundred Li Jun was submitted to his hands. Fei Yi opened it and looked at it for a few times, and his face changed drastically.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what happened? Is it the battlefield ahead..."

All the doctors here gathered around each other and were shocked. The Prime Minister Fei Yi has always been known for his steadiness, and it is naturally extraordinary to be able to alarm him. Their guesses were correct, and Fei Yi's subsequent words confirmed a fact that no one wants to hear the least.

"Qin and Wei army attacked from two routes, and their momentum was irresistible. General Yuan Rong's bloody battle was unfavorable and was defeated several days ago. He was forced to abandon Pingyang and Shuomen Pass. The army gathered at Ziwu Pass to guard the last throat of the eastward advance...!"

Before the war report was finished, there was an uproar in the hall. Some people couldn't help but exclaim. If they hadn't heard it from the mouth of the Prime Minister Fei Yi, almost no one would have believed it was true.

"This, how is this possible? How could General Yuanrong be defeated in the battle...!"

Yuan Rong was known as the number one general of Zhao State. In the past few years, he had been led by a general to fight against the Northern Hu cavalry more than ten times, with few defeats. Even the Hu cavalry was afraid, but unexpectedly, news of his failure came so soon.

"If you lose, you will lose. There is nothing impossible. General Yuanrong is old and injured! He is no longer the invincible general of the past... He has tried his best to preserve most of his strength in front of Qin and Wei Tiger and Wolf's army."

Fei Yi lowered his arms weakly and handed the emergency military information to others to pass on. The sadness in his heart was indescribable. Including himself, Yuan Rong, Zheng Liancheng, Gou Wuhui... There were more than ten people in total, and they followed King Chulie of Zhao from the beginning, and they were all called famous generals of the world. They were hunting and sand, and they were invincible for a hundred battles. From youth to middle age, their years were spent on the battlefield of fighting, and they had just achieved the reputation of Zhao State. But now, they were full of energy, died and old. Only they were left to support the overall situation independently. How long could this aging body last?

"The news came from the north two days ago that General Li Mu had fought two major battles with the Yan people in Shangcheng. Although he had the upper hand, our soldiers also suffered great casualties. The situation was not optimistic. Now, the loss of Pingyang Pass on the western front is equivalent to the overall oppression of all three directions... Alas! If Ziwu Pass can no longer hold on, Qin and Wei coalition forces will be flat, and until under Longcheng, there will be no steep passes along the way that can stop them!"

After reading the detailed look from the beginning, Master Zi Zhong couldn't help but sigh with a heavy face. In fact, everyone understands what he said. But now, what can I think of in a hurry? The most difficult question is in front of me, that is, the unscrupulous general can go to war!

"The strength of Qin and Wei cannot be underestimated. They are both stronger and worse than Zhao. If there is really no way to win in military terms, why not try to think of other ways in other aspects?"
