As soon as the soldier came in, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Yanzhou City has been occupied by Feng Lingtian. The Emperor of Jin's subordinates fought back and retreated at the same time, but they still lost more than twenty thousand men. The Emperor of Jin has retreated to the outskirts of the city with twenty thousand men, and Yanzhou City has been occupied by Feng Lingtian's men. Feng Lingtian is cruel by nature. After he entered the city, he ordered the barbarian soldiers of Tiansheng Country to burn, kill, and pillage the common people in order to reward his subordinates. The Emperor of Jin can't hold on any longer and asks Your Majesty to send reinforcements again! "
"That Feng Lingtian, how dare he slaughter my people and occupy Yanzhou! Eunuch Xu, quickly write an imperial edict for me. I want to order The Emperor of Li to fight immediately! "Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
At this time, Li Jinzhong, who was serving tea at the side, said, "Your Majesty, The Emperor of Li doesn't want to fight at all. If you force him to fight, I'm afraid he will have resentment in his heart and won't work for Your Majesty. In my opinion, The Emperor of Li doesn't want to fight because of the anti-poetry case. I'm afraid we have to clear his name and prove his innocence before he is willing to fight! "
"What innocence? Li Jinzhong, are you saying that I have wronged The Emperor of Li? "Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
Li Jinzhong quickly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean that."
"Do you think I can only rely on Chu Xuanchen? My Chu Country has millions of people and is full of talents. Do you think I can only rely on Chu Xuanchen? Do I not even have a brave general? I can ask other generals to fight. "Emperor Hongyuan angrily slammed his palm on the imperial table and roared.
Li Jinzhong said, "But Your Majesty, the opponent this time is the treacherous Feng Lingtian, not someone else. Before this, many of our outstanding generals were defeated by Feng Lingtian. Only The Emperor of Li can defeat him. What if we send a random general this time and he is defeated again like before? This battle is of great importance, we can't afford to lose. In the entire country of Chu, besides His Highness The Emperor of Li, it seems like there really is no one who can contend with Feng Ling Tian! "
Although Li Jinzhong said so, he was thinking in his heart.
It wasn't that the Chu Country didn't have any talents. The Chu Country was filled with talents, but they had been buried.
Hongyuan Emperor was muddle-headed and tyrannical. When he seized the throne, in order to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his position, he killed and degraded many talented people who were loyal to the previous Emperor. He put those treacherous and despicable people in important positions, which led to the decline of Chu's talents!
Hundreds of officials, such as Su Ming and the others, followed the example of their superiors and appointed people based on nepotism. They accepted benefits and promoted treacherous officials, causing the imperial court to be in a state of chaos, which led to the true talents being buried!
Hongyuan Emperor sighed. "Without outstanding generals, I can win with numbers. Feng Lingtian had 50,000 men, right? I can send out one hundred and fifty thousand men. We have three times more men than Feng Lingtian. I don't believe we can't kill him! "
"But Your Majesty, our Chu Country only has about 400,000 soldiers, and they are stationed in different places. Not to mention that we can't mobilize so many soldiers in such a short time, if we really mobilize one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, when the border is tight, I'm afraid other countries will take advantage of the situation and invade the Imperial City. "Li Jinzhong said.
"Alas!" Hongyuan Emperor heaved a heavy sigh.
Then he snorted coldly. "Humph, this won't do, that won't do. If worse comes to worst, I can put The Princess of Li and their child under house arrest and threaten Chu Xuanchen to go to war. Let's see if he dares to refuse! "Hongyuan Emperor said maliciously.
Li Jinzhong hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, you can't do this. The Princess of Li and their child are The Emperor of Li's bottom line. If Your Majesty does this, I'm afraid it will anger The Emperor of Li. The Emperor of Li is proud and aloof by nature. He can't stand being angered. He treasures his wife and child so much. If Your Majesty uses his wife and child to threaten him, I'm afraid he will be driven into a corner and risk everything. At that time, it won't be good for him to fight to the death. "
