"Sima Ren, the governor of Tanzhou, cried and reported blood. **(..) Since the fall of Lucheng, the Mongolian army invaded a large-scale invasion. I was waiting for the battle in Tanzhou and actively prepared for war. Fifty thousand soldiers in Tanzhou were united and vowed to fight to the end of the bloody battle with the Mongols. However, I missed the supervision of the people and guarded Yumen with the Luzhou border army. I thought that the generals of the Luzhou border army would know their shame and be brave. Unexpectedly, the generals of the battalions, led by Yao Meng, the generals of the Luzhou border army, were afraid of the enemy like tigers. Taking advantage of the extreme of the generals going to Tanzhou to discuss military affairs, they abandoned the city and fled. Even the Mongolian army broke through Yumen and invaded in a large scale. They chased the fugitive army Yao Meng and others at Fengkou. The entire Luzhou border army was killed. The Mongolian cavalry entered Tanzhou in a large scale. Our army was caught off guard and the defense line was lost. In desperation, they could only preserve their strength and retreat to Lu Ning, cry and bow to him, looking forward to the arrival of the reinforcements as soon as possible. Sima Ren, in front of the formation!"

Cao Dan's feminine voice echoed at the door of the hall, and Li Jia sat on the high dragon throne with a calm face, without any joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. However, the civil and military generals led by Guan Pengju and Cao Yi and others in the court were shocked by this military report. The 50,000 troops in Tanzhou, as well as the Lucheng border troops retreated to the more than 10,000 Lucheng border troops in Tanzhou, totaling more than 60,000. There were Yumen Pass, Tanzhou City and other strong cities, so how could they be captured by the Mongolian army in just over a month, so that the Mongolian army drove straight into? The Mongolian people occupied Tanzhou and could threaten Yizhou and Taizhou. The two states were in the deep interior, and they must have not yet prepared for the corresponding war. If the Mongolian army drove in, they were afraid that these two states would be unable to protect them, and the form suddenly became extremely sinister.

Guan Pengju participated in the Battle against the Mongolians decades ago. He knew that the speed of the Mongols' iron cavalry was so terrifying that Tanzhou was lost. Yizhou and Taizhou were in danger.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if there is a military report from Taizhou?" Guan Peng took a step and bowed.

Li Jia shook her head.

Guan Pengju let out a long sigh. The two states did not report the emergency troops, which means that the Mongolian army has not continued to advance south, which will give Da Yue a certain chance to breathe.

"Your Majesty, reinforcements must set out immediately and strive to arrive at Taizhou as soon as possible. Yizhou has many mountains and hills. It is not conducive to the advancement of the Mongolian cavalry, and Taizhou is flat. The Mongolian army will definitely choose Taizhou as a breakthrough. Once Taizhou is lost again, the Mongolian army can directly point to the Central Plains." Guan Pengju said loudly.

"What do you think of the chief minister?" Li Jia asked.

"I am following the proposal of General Guan, and the reinforcements must set off immediately. No delay can be delayed for a moment. I should immediately urge the minister and the department to distribute the materials and ordnances needed by the reinforcements in advance, and the military will also be sent to the soldiers tomorrow. {http:

Li Jia turned to look at the fourth prince of the head coach Li Xiao who went on this battle: "What do you think about the fourth brother? Let's set off now, there are difficulties!"

Li Xiao thought about it and thought for a moment, and then stepped out with his head raised, "Report to my father, the left and right Wuwei have been waiting for the battle, and can be driven out at any time."

"Very good. Since that's the case, I feel relieved. Chief Auxiliary, the soldiers will set out before the end of the year. I will probably have complaints in my heart. I will allocate 500,000 taels of silver from the inner palace to reward the soldiers and to boost morale!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cao Yi bowed and said.

"Father, my son-in-law believes that although the reinforcements can set out immediately, they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. After the reinforcements arrive, they don't know what the front line will be like. Tanzhou has nearly 60,000 troops. They are defeated at once, and they lose their territory and troops. They should be severely punished and respectfully imitate them. The Sima clan of Tanzhou voids the emperor's kindness, first lost Lucheng, then Tanzhou, lost thousands of miles of land and millions of people, and the crime is unforgivable. My son-in-law asks to punish him to thank the world and promote the military's power." Li Xiao said righteously.

In the court, many people looked at the eldest prince Li Jian sitting on the other side. He was given a seat on the right because of his bad behavior. Cao Yi and Guan Peng rated two civil and military leaders, but they looked at the nose and the heart. Some people even had nothing to do with themselves, and they looked lively happily.

Li Jia glanced at everyone, then turned to Guan Pengju again: "Pengju, what do you say?"

Guan Pengju hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's time to kill."

"Sinceremony, what do you think?"

Cao Yi bowed and said, "It should be killed. Sima Ren lost Tanzhou, causing the iron ore and copper mines in Chenliu, Hanguang and Xiapi counties in Pingyang Prefecture in Tanzhou to be criticized by the enemy. From then on, the Mongolian army will no longer lack the strategic resources they need most, and will make the Mongolian army more powerful, but I believe that the time is not the time."

Li Jia turned to look at Li Jian who bowed his head and said nothing, "Boss, what do you think?"

Li Jian raised his head, his face full of determination, "Father, the emperor, and the sons also think that they should be killed, but now they cannot be killed. Not only can they not be killed, but they also have to praise the Sima family."

Li Jia laughed loudly, "Oh, this is really something that has never been heard. May I ask, why can't I be killed? Not only can I be killed, but I still have to be commended? Is there any law? Is there any law? Is there any law? Is there any shame? Or is the Sima clan has a close relationship with you, so you have selfish thoughts?"

This series of aggressive questions made Li Jian sweat all over his body. Looking at Li Jia's sarcastic smile, looking at the face of Li Xiao sneering, Li Jian gritted his teeth and supported his hands, and stood up from the chair. His legs were useless. He fell to the ground with a loud bang, struggled to get up, kneeling on the ground, and the severe pain from his legs made his face sweat little by little: "Father, the heart of a son and minister can be seen by the sun and the moon, but he has no selfish thoughts about ghosts and gods."

Li Jia looked at it and said, "But you say it, I want to see why you have no selfish thoughts?"

"Father, Sima Ren's military report, although he lost his territory and lost his troops, he still has nearly 30,000 Tanzhou soldiers and still guards the Luning area. Luning area is a grain-producing area outside the pass. As long as Sima Ren can defend Luning, the Mongolian army will still be a cripple even if it occupys Tanzhou. Even if they own three large mines under Pingyang Prefecture, there is no sufficient food and grass, it will still restrict them from advancing to the Central Plains. As long as reinforcements quickly arrive in Taizhou and block the Mongolian army from Taizhou, our dynasty will regain the disadvantage. And if Sima Ren is severely punished, what if Sima Ren has two hearts?" Li Jian paused and touched the ground with his head. "Father, if Sima Ren heard that he wanted the head to land, he would definitely surrender to the Mongolian people, that is Han Zhongshuang, and his influence will be ten or a hundred times worse than Han Zhong. Once Lu Ning also falls into the hands of Meng, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Li Jian kowtowed his head dongdong, knocking his forehead till blood was dripping from the ground.

When Li Jian finished speaking, the court officials were already talking about it. This possibility was too great. The Tanzhou soldiers were said to be the governor of the court, but in fact they had become the private soldiers of the Sima family. Everyone knew this.

Li Xiao's face changed. If Sima Ren really surrendered to the enemy, it would be of no benefit to him. What's more, he jumped out to punish Sima Ren severely, just to disgust Li Jian. Seeing that Li Jian's head was bleeding, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

"It seems you still have some vision!" Li Jia nodded slowly, "Help him get up and sit back, what is the prince like?"

The eunuchs on both sides quickly walked down the platform and helped Li Jian up. Li Lan cried bitterly, half of whom was suffering from leg pain, but the other half felt like he had a life of surviving the disaster. You know, the emperor knew exactly what happened to him and the Sima family.

"What the boss said is not without reason. It is just that Tanzhou was defeated, and the court also needs to explain to the subjects all over the world. Now, not only can Sima Ren be punished, but he also has to praise him greatly. How can the court keep his face?" Li Jia pondered.

Cao Yi looked at Li Jian, and was surprised at his reaction in the court today. He immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, this is not difficult. The border army in Luzhou first lost Lucheng and then Yumen Pass. Your Majesty can inform the world and declare that he was afraid of fighting and abandoning the pass, which caused Tanzhou to suddenly encounter the enemy and even fell into the enemy. Fortunately, Sima Ren, the governor of Tanzhou, was calm and properly handled, so that the losses were minimized. He could protect the 21 counties of Luning, Tanzhou. Sima Rui, the border army in Lucheng, was not effective, deprived of military positions and demoted to common people. Those who escaped at the battle were like Yao Meng. Although he died on the battlefield, his crimes could not be destroyed, but his family would be punished!"

Li Jia nodded, "At present, this is the only way to do it! The chief assistant is planning this way!"

"As for your order!"

"The Mongolian army invaded this. There is another military report today, from Shanzhou!" Li Jia's face darkened again, "The remnants of Bailian failed to make a judgment in the south and fled to Shanzhou. More than ten days ago, they launched an riot, killed Zheng Changping, the governor of Shanzhou, seized Shaanxi City, claimed to be the White Lotus Kingdom, and openly raised the anti-flag. Is it unbearable? What are the opinions of the ministers?"

"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has been poisoned for thousands of years, but it will never succeed. Therefore, this is just a small ringworm. Zheng Changping is incompetent. The White Lotus Sect makes a huge noise in its territory. He is not aware of anything. He is easily taken away by someone to behead the city. It is not a pity to die. In Bailian, Shanzhou, he only needs to send a general and lead more than 10,000 elite troops to Shanzhou. These mobs will be calmed soon. At the moment, the most urgent task is to deal with the Tanzhou crisis!" Cao Yi said.

"Although it is a small ringworm, it can cause a big problem if it is not treated!" Li Jia said: "Can there be a good general in Pengju?"

Guan Pengju glanced at the eldest prince Li Jian and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, General Ye Kai, the commander of the left and right guards, is skilled in military affairs and has a reputation for being brave. He can take this position."

Cao Yi lowered his head and smiled softly in his heart. Guan Pengju was apologizing to the eldest prince for saying that Sima Ren should kill him. Ye Kai, the commander of the left and right guards, was a strong subordinate of the eldest prince. This man led the left and right guards to wipe out the White Lotus bandits. He was really useless and was not easy to capture. At that time, Ye Kai would return successfully and be promoted.

Li Jia waved his hand, "Since General Guan recommended it, then I will issue an order to Ye to lead the left and right guards to attack Shanzhou. Tanzhou is in urgent need. Except for Feng Congyi's left and right guards, the left and right guards were sent out together. Two elite troops of 50,000 imperial guards, and they could form an army of more than 200,000 people, enough to resist the enemy. When General Guan led his army out of the pass, he killed the Mongolian army to almost 200,000 people, and only 200,000 people!" (To be continued...)
