Chapter 58 Point

Yongle City, which has just experienced a fierce battle, is still in a mess.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were killed and injured, and countless bodies were transported to mass graves outside the city by stretchers and carts.

The rest of the people are hurrying up to clean up the ruins, rescue the disaster victims, and rearrange the defense.

The whole Yongle City is bustling.

Just after noon, the leaders of the Southern Expeditionary Army gathered in Yongle City one after another.

And the main generals of the imperial court also entered Yongle City one after another.

The people in Yongle City, who have just experienced a bloody battle, have a sense of security in their hearts.

Liu Xia is now sitting in the study of the house guarded by Yongle City, practicing cross-legged.

Several intact houses could not be found in Yongle City, that is, here, half of the houses have been saved from the war.

The tiger guards have long been under martial law here, and anyone who goes in needs to go through heavy interrogation.

For a while, this guarded house became the command core of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

"Your Highness, the masters, the main generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Border Army have arrived. Your Highness, please give me an instruction.

At this moment, Zhang Zong held his fist and shouted outside the door.

"Oh. Tell them that I'll come right away."

Speaking of this, Liu Xia slowly opened her eyes.

The colorful glow on her body slowly dissipated, and then Liu Xia changed into a white dark coat and walked towards the council hall.

As soon as I got outside the hall, I heard the noise in the hall.

As soon as Zhang Zong was about to inform, Liu Xia stopped him and stood outside the door with his hands on his back, listening to what was inside.

"Old Song, you have to listen to my explanation. It's not that my Huangpu family did not come to reinforce, but it was yesterday morning when my Huangpu family received the signal. You know, my Huangpu family's defense line is very long, and it takes time to gather people. When I first set out, I didn't know that Yongle City had been saved.

"Huangpu Laoer, who are you lying to? Your Huangpu family is less than 50 miles away from Yongle City. I'll give you three hours to gather people, and two more hours, you should have arrived. Yesterday, in the battle of Yongle City, if Your Highness hadn't arrived in time, my son's life would not have been saved. Seeing that he would not be saved, he also intercepted my Song family's grain and grass and fell into the well. Which side of your Huangpu family is it?

At this moment, Song Tianyou shouted angrily.

"Lao Song, I don't understand what you said. You just say that my Huangpu family doesn't come to reinforce. Our Huangpu family has never done anything to intercept food and fodder. Don't spit blood on people. Moreover, in the bloody battle of Yongle City yesterday, except for the rebellion of the Nangong family, there are still eight of the ten families of the Tianji Dynasty, and there are no reinforcements. Don't bite my Huangpu family like a mad dog. My Huangpu family is not a soft persimmon!"

Huang Pujie shouted angrily.

"Who do you think is a mad dog?"

Song Tianyou drank it angrily.

"Whoever barks here is a mad dog."

Huangpu Jie immediately shouted angrily.

The two of them are fighting, which immediately means a big fight.

At this time, Liu Xia coughed, and Zhang Zong immediately shouted, "Your Highness is here."

Immediately, the council chamber was quiet.

Liu Xia stepped into the council chamber. More than 40 generals in the council chamber knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Xia.

Liu Xia sat straight to the coach's position and smiled, "Please get up quickly."

At this time, many generals got up one after another.

"Gentlemen, this is the first time that our generals of the Southern Expedition have gathered since I left Longdu. It's really not easy."

Liu Xia smiled faintly and said, "I will gather you here today for one thing. A few days ago, the Nangong army tried to capture Yongle City. How arrogant the arrogance is. I didn't pay attention to my Southern Expedition at all. Now, although Yongle City has been defended. Therefore, I would like to hear your opinions and plans for the next step.

Immediately, many generals in the hall whispered one after another.

"Your Highness, the last general believes that if the Nangong family's Yongle City is defeated this time, the morale must be low, which is a good time to fight back. Your Majesty, please make a final determination.

Song Tianyou said with a fist.

"It will be seconded at the end."

Immediately, most of the generals of the court knelt on the ground and said with fists.

"Your Highness, Weichen believes that although Yongle City was defeated by the Nangong army, it is far from hurting the bones. They have been operating in Taizhou for many years, holding the city and occupying the water passage. Weichen is worried that if we march rashly, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. Therefore, Weichen thinks that Your Highness, please think twice.

At this moment, Liu Rong, the head of the Liu family, appeared and shouted.

"Weichen agrees with the views of the owner of the Liu family."

Immediately, Huangpu Jie said with a fist.

"Master Liu, Lord Huangpu, it will be the monsoon season in another month. If there is no army now, when the monsoon arrives and the sea pirates attack, the situation will be extremely complicated. If you don't seize the opportunity to attack now, when will you wait?

Zhang Haotian immediately retorted.

"Master Zhang, the Haikou and Nangong family have always been like water and fire. If the Haikou attack, we will just sit and watch the benefits of the fishermen and wait for the Haikou and the Nangong family to fight. At that time, won't it be just a good time to calm down the Hainan and coastal areas?"

Huang Pujie said with a faint smile.

"This is not good. In case the Nangong family and the sea pirates are in collusion, won't we have another opponent?"

Zhang Haotian immediately retorted.

Suddenly, the council chamber was noisy and chaotic.

On the contrary, the generals of the imperial court were silent, as if they were watching the play.

Liu Xia sat in the position of the coach and looked at him coldly.

At the beginning, the emperor gathered 600,000 troops, two-thirds of which were these clans.

Only 200,000 are the imperial army.

The situation of the Southern Expedition is much more complicated than what Liu Xia has seen.

"Cough."

Liu Xia coughed gently, looked around and said, "Wang Xiaoyong, you are the commander-in-chief of the border garrison in southern Xinjiang. What do you think?"

At this time, among the crowd of generals of the imperial court, a strong man with a pale face, wrapped in bandages and a strong figure in armor, emerged from the crowd.

The army garrison on the border of southern Xinjiang originally had 200,000 people, and they were stationed in the waters of southern Xinjiang all year round.

After the rebellion of the Nangong family, they first fought with the border garrison in southern Xinjiang. The border garrison in southern Xinjiang was beaten by the Nangong family. When it was defeated in Kunzhou, there were less than 60,000 horses left.

Now he is cultivated in Kunzhou.

"Your Highness, the Nangong family has been operating in Taizhou for many years, and their soldiers are good at fighting. The last general thought that he still had to wait for a while and wait for the opportunity to move.

Wang Xiaoyong came out and said with a fist.

"Wang Xiaoyong, I heard that in the battle of Taizhou, your 200,000 border troops were beaten by 60,000 Nangong troops. In less than half a month, Taizhou lost its entire line. Can you give me an explanation?"

Liu Xia suddenly turned around and looked up and drank.

When Wang Xiaoyong heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, the Nangong family suddenly attacked, and the last general has led the people and horses to resist desperately. However, the southern border garrison has been stationed in Taizhou all year round, and many generals and Nangong families have been involved. The last general..."

"Is that so? So, you are not responsible for the loss of Taizhou?

Liu Xia said with a cold smile.

"The last general deserves to die. Please give the last general a chance to make contributions. The last general will definitely lead the army in southern Xinjiang to recover the lost land and will not return if he does not die.

Wang Xiaoyong said tremblingly.

"Wang Xiaoyong, Wang Xiaoyong, you are going to recover the lost land now! Yesterday, there was a bloody battle in Yongle City. Your people are less than 70 miles away from Yongle City. I ask you, why didn't you go for reinforcements?

Liu Xia slowly got up and asked with suppressed anger.

"Damn the last general!"

Wang Xiaoyong said with a sweat.

"Well, you really deserve to die. Zhang Zong, bring up the evidence."

Liu Xia said with her hands on her back.

At this time, Zhang Zong lifted a box with the seal of the Metropolitan Inspectorate on it and put it in the center of the council chamber.

When Wang Xiaoyong saw this box, his face was extremely pale, and bean-sized beads of sweat kept dripping down his cheeks.

"There should be more than 200,000 people in the southern Xinjiang army. In the past ten years, you have been commanding the southern Xinjiang army, appointing credulous, corrupting the law, sitting and eating empty pay, colluding with the Nangong family, and being a traitor. When the Nangong army rebelled, your army garrisoned the border in southern Xinjiang was less than 100,000, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. The South China Sea could not be calmed down for a long time. You are a great meritorious official!"

Liu Xia said lightly.

"The last general deserves to die, the last general deserves to die."

Wang Xiaoyong hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Come on, drag this traitor out, and Ling Chi will be executed."

Liu Xia shouted coldly.

Immediately, seven or eight tiger guards rushed in from outside the room and immediately dragged Wang Xiaoyong out.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the council hall, and then there was a scream, and people were shocked to hear it.

Obviously, it was Wang Xiaoyong's own soldiers who were not executed.

After a while, peace was restored outside the council chamber.

Liu Xia turned her back to the crowd and said lightly with her hands on her back: "Forty years in Yong'an, the king of Rui was mediocre and immoral. Wang Mang's thieves revolted in southern Xinjiang, and the major races responded one after another. In less than three years, the prosperous Rui Dynasty collapsed. Dear beloved, do you also want to bring history back and forth?

"Weichen dare not!"

Suddenly, the people in the hall knelt down and shouted.

"Don't you dare? I don't think you have anything to dare, right? Yongle City is imminent, and the third line of the Nangong family sent troops. But you are all hiding in Kunzhou to watch the fun. Then I would like to ask, what were you busy with yesterday?

Liu Xia sneered.

Immediately, there was silence in the hall.

"Why don't you talk?"

Liu Xia turned around, walked to Huang Pujie and smiled.

"Weichen is panicked."

Huang Pujie hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh? Panic? Your Huangpu sailor is the strongest among many families. The strength of the Nangong sailor is less than half of yours. As a result, the whole army could be destroyed in the endless Gulf naval battle. Elder Huangpu, can you tell me the story in it?

"Weichen, Weichen's command error, deployment is not good..."

"It seems that these excuses you made are somewhat interesting. Of course, your Huangpu family's sailors are your own Huangpu's own. According to common sense, I should not ask. However, your Huangpu sailors are so incompetent. I think it's better to simply leave it to the court for management. Elder Huangpu, what do you think?

Liu Xia stood beside him and asked with a smile.

Huang Pujie was stunned. Liu Xia was a lion.

However, in the current situation, as long as he dares to say no, Liu Xia will definitely dare to kill him.

"Weichen has no objection."

"Ha ha, that's good. This matter will be done immediately. If I don't receive a message from the sailor tomorrow morning. You know the consequences. In Ben Wang's opinion, the rebellion of the Nangong family is just a disease of scabs. Please work with me. I don't want to see such problems happen in the future. Do you all understand?

Liu Xialang asked.

"We will do our best to suppress the rebels in the South Palace."

Immediately, the people in the council chamber shouted one after another.

"Very good, let's discuss the specific offensive details."

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.
