"The three hundred-man teams were annihilated by the Zhao army?" Jie Li Khan turned around and asked Zhao Deyan on the side: "Didn't it mean that the Zhao army's troops in Youjing City are empty? What's going on?"

Zhao Deyan immediately asked the Turkic scout: "I just asked you to investigate the truth and reality of Youjing, but how could he get caught in the ambush of the Han people? Did they dispatch thousands of people?"

The scout replied, "Yes, in this way, we were already lurking beside Youjing. When we saw the Zhao army's people hurried into the city, we thought Youjing was not prepared. The adult decided to take advantage of the opportunity when the Zhao army could not see the details of our army and raid the Han people outside the city gate after dark."

Jie Li Khan nodded and said, "You lords are quite capable. After dark, the Zhao army did not know how many soldiers and horses outside the city would not go out to fight. You just need to scare the people of Zhao. Kill a few people is enough to scare the courage of the Han people. If the entire army is wiped out, it must be because you greedy for the Han people's property and rashly enter the trap of the Han people."

"Khan, no. As soon as we attacked, the Zhao army had cavalry backwards. They were leading a female general, very powerful. None of us was her opponent. We also died at her hands."

Jie Li was already calming down, but when he heard the scouts talked more and more, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Nonsense, where is there a female general in the Zhao army? Do you think that if you make up this reason, Ben Khan will believe your nonsense. Do you forgive you for fighting the defeat? People come and drag it out to kill me."

Two warriors outside the tent came in and dragged the scout out, but the man shouted to himself before dying: "Khan, what I said is true, every sentence is true. Zhao Jun does have a female general!"

Jie Li Khan snorted coldly, picked up a pot of horse milk wine and took a big sip.

Zhao Deyan said: "It seems that there is indeed no strength to fight back in Youjing City. Otherwise, our three hundred-man teams would not be ruined there."

Jie Li narrowed his eyes and said, "What you said makes sense. It seems that we should plan carefully to attack Youjing."

In the capital city.

In the temporary palace, Yang Ehuang sat behind the curtain, and outside the curtain were several ministers discussing matters.

The civil officials include Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, Cui Junsu, Xue Wanshu, Lu Chengqing, Zhao Xin who temporarily left Youjing, and the military generals are Xu Wu, Zhao Quanting and Chen Ke.

Xu Wudao: "Reported to the two prime ministers, there are only 10,000 county soldiers in Youjing City. Even if we recruit powerful and powerful troops and the Qujun tribes, we can select elite soldiers from the city, and the soldiers and horses are less than 20,000. The Turkic cavalry outside the city has 200,000 troops, and the situation is very serious for us."

Wen Yanbo asked, "With ten or one, there is no chance of winning. So where are the reinforcements closest to us?"

Xue Wanshu, the Minister of Justice, said: "I have sent hundreds of messengers to ask for help from all over the place, but the troops of Liang Township, south of Youjing are small, and it is the same whether they can't come or not. Beiping County is the base of our Navy. Two hundred ships have been mobilized, and 3,000 navy troops are rushing to Youjing. They can arrive from Tongji Canal at noon tomorrow. This is the closest branch to us."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "The navy's troops cannot defend the city, even if they can't go to Youjing, they will not be able to help."

Xue Wanshu said: "There are still a group of people. Gao Chu, the commander of Taiyuan Prefecture, and after hearing the news, he led two thousand Shanggu County soldiers to come. He can arrive in Zhuo County tonight, and tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow, he will definitely arrive in Youjing. Gao Chu is a famous general who is good at guarding. His Majesty has always valued him very much. If he can arrive tomorrow night, he will be more sure of defending the city."

"The rest of the troops are too far away. Even the nearest Liaodong County soldiers have been away for several days. Fortunately, the 50,000 grassland cavalry of the royal guardians were stationed in Shangdang before. If they must have known the news of Youjing being attacked, they were already on the road, but they will not arrive in three to five days."

"That is to say, we have to stick to it for at least three or five days."

"That's right, the Turkic cavalry isolated all the news from the north of Youjing, Huaihuang, Yuyi Town, and Songmo Protectorate Palace. Tuli is not aware of it now. However, from the detailed torture of the Turks we caught, we can be sure that the Turks at least did not break through Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns."

When Cui Junsu heard Xue Wanshu say that Huaihuang was not lost, Yuyi Towns hesitated and said, "Why are the two towns not falling? Have you reached a tacit understanding with the Turks?"

At this time, Zhao Xin, who had been silent, said, "No, I guess Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns are the trading centers of the Turks and Han people. Jie Li had just taken office and could not attack Huaihuang Town by taking advantage of the world's most disgrace."

Cui Junsu said: "Since that's the case, I think I can try to argue with the Turks. If the Turks conquer Youjing, then he will have no room for reconciliation with our Da Zhao. Don't want to trade anything from us in the future. I don't think Jie Li will do this kind of thing to kill chickens and get eggs."

Zhao Xin sneered and said directly: "Cui Fujun is so whimsical. If the Turks thought it was easy to grab something that could be easily obtained, why should we trade with us? If it weren't for the intimidation of my Great Zhao Tieqi, would you think Jie Li would be willing to exchange hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep for us every year for silk and tea bricks? A joke."

Seeing that Zhao Xin said nothing, Cui Junsu was not very angry, but said to Yang Ehuang behind the curtain with a very demeanor: "Empress, the empress, the meaning of a humble minister is to spend money to buy peace. Now that the Turks are strong, we take the initiative to seek peace, give them some money, and let him retreat from Youjing."

"It's simple. If Jie Li is not satisfied, he will take the opportunity to sign an alliance under the city with us and ask us to pay tribute to the Turks every year, what should we do? We agree?"

Cui Junsu said: "That temporary vain and slander will allow us to at least relieve the urgent need in front of us and keep Youjing's safety."

Seeing the ministers quarreling, Yang Ehuang couldn't help but have a headache, such as Xu Wu, Zhao Quanting, Chen Ke and other generals, they could ask them to fight, but there was no careful countermeasure to deal with the Turks.

As for senior officials such as Wen Yanbo and Wei Zheng, although they are proficient in diplomacy and government affairs, they are not good at military affairs. As for other civil officials, they are mostly people talking about war on paper. After all, all the civil officials and generals who are the best at fighting in Da Zhao were taken away by Li Chongjiu.

At this moment, a general outside the gate rushed to several officials of Zhao State who were discussing matters and said, "No, the Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared at the north gate!"

Everyone was disgusted, and Wen Yanbo asked, "How many people are there in the Turks?"

"It's too dark and I can't see clearly. The guard of the North City said that there are at least a few thousand men!"

Zhao Xin said: "The Turks obviously want to snatch fishing. I don't think there are thousands of people, they must have deliberately bluffed."

Cui Junsu was anxious and said, "No matter how he bluffs, why don't he close the city gate? What should he do if the Turks rush into the city?"

"But the people who can't be locked up are entering the city!"

Xu Wu in the hall immediately said to Yang Ehuang: "Empress, the last general leads his troops to the North City to take a look."

Yang Ehuang said: "I am not familiar with military affairs, so I can only ask a few people for everything. I beg you to think about the 200,000 people in Youjing City and do your best."
