Chapter 316 Bai Ze's Strategy
As Jiang Chen finished speaking, Li Yuanyi was shocked.
He didn't expect that only a few days would pass.
The offensive of our northern army is so fierce that it is almost reaching Chunning City!
Thinking of this, Li Yuanyi couldn't help swallowing and said to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, should we prepare to leave Chunning City now?"
Hearing Li Yuanyi's question, Jiang Chen frowned.
He closed his eyes and thought carefully. After some thought.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and said to Li Yuanyi beside him.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see what Zhu Qiyu and Bai Ze can do."
"I'm afraid Xiang Huo and his men will face full resistance from the Northern Ming army."
"The ten days I just mentioned are ideal, but what if something unexpected happens..."
Jiang Chen stopped here, but Li Yuanyi knew very well what Jiang Chen was worried about.
"Then my lord, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We don't need to do anything should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances."
"Notify Ant Cave immediately and have them send a letter to Xiang Huo and the others immediately."
"Tell them to be cautious and keep an eye on the movements of the Northern Ming army."
After Jiang Chen answered Li Yuanyi's question, he gave him instructions.
"I will go right away."
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Li Yuanyi did not hesitate at all.
He turned around, opened the door and walked out, quickly arranging for a personal guard to go to the business.
At night, Zhu Qiyu and Bai Ze were discussing matters related to the martial arts competition in the imperial study.
But just as the two were discussing heatedly , a eunuch rushed in.
The eunuch ran in panic, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"What happened? Why are you so panicked? How can you be so disgraceful?!"
Looking at the panicked eunuch, Zhu Qiyu scolded him coldly with an unhappy expression.
He was originally having an interesting discussion with Bai Ze, but this eunuch ruined all his good mood.
Faced with Zhu Qiyu's scolding, the eunuch knelt on the ground with a pale face.
Then he kowtowed heavily to Zhu Qiyu and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty , there is urgent news from the front line."
"The northern army has been advancing like a hot knife through butter and has now captured Shanfu County!"
"The northern army is now only two counties away from the capital!"
"What!?"
After listening to the eunuch's report, the scroll in Zhu Qiyu's hand fell to the ground.
The whole person was stunned by this sudden news.
Bai Ze on the side couldn't believe his ears.
Isn't the speed of this Northern Army too fast?!
If we continue at this rate, I'm afraid it won't last more than ten days.
Chunning City, the capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty, is probably unable to escape the danger of being captured.
At that time, where should they escape to? !
Thinking of this, Bai Ze couldn't help but feel a headache.
Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a look on his face that gradually became ugly.
"Are the governor and commander of Shanfu County all good-for-nothings?!"
"I have sent 70,000 troops to Shanfu County. 70,000 troops!"
"Even if there are 70,000 pigs, it won't be that fast for the Northern Army to kill them all!"
Zhu Qiyu roared angrily, and he was furious to the extreme.
He didn't understand why his Northern Ming army relied on geographical advantages.
Can’t even defend a city!
Looking at the furious Zhu Qiyu, Bai Ze tried to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down first. The most urgent matter is."
"We should come up with a countermeasure and send more troops to the other two county towns."
"As long as these last two counties are not lost, we can take advantage of this triangle."
"Join forces with Xu Xiao to drive out the Northern Army!"
Under Bai Ze's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu gradually regained his sanity and calmed down.
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Qiyu slowly sat down.
"You go down first. The Prime Minister and I have important matters to discuss."
After hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, the eunuch suddenly felt as if he had been pardoned.
The sense of pressure from Zhu Qiyu on his body also faded a little.
After raising his sleeves and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and cheeks.
The eunuch quickly stood up tremblingly and fled out of the imperial study.
After the eunuch left, Zhu Qiyu turned his attention to Bai Ze standing aside.
"Prime Minister, please tell me. I want to hear your opinion."
After hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, Bai Ze was silent for a while.
After thinking deeply in his heart, Bai Ze raised his head and answered Zhu Qiyu.
"Your Majesty, I think that perhaps we can draw on the power of those people in the underworld."
"I know that you originally wanted to wait until you attacked the Xusong Kingdom occupied in the north to use them."
"But I think now is the time when they can be put to good use!"
After saying that, Bai Ze bowed to Zhu Qiyu and waited for Zhu Qiyu's answer.
Bai Ze's words made Zhu Qiyu hesitate.
If at this time, you choose to seek help from people in the underworld.
Then he will have no trump card in his hand later!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu said to Bai Ze with some confusion.
"Prime Minister, I still feel that this matter is not appropriate."
"This competition has only just reached the second stage, and we are using their words now."
"I have no way to drive them. If we do this, something bad will happen!"
After hearing Zhu Qiyu's answer, Bai Ze opened his mouth helplessly.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say it.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Ze finally said with a frown.
"Your Majesty , we can't wait any longer. How about this?"
"Let's hold the second phase of the competition between Rongtai County and Chiwan County."
"Let them attack and kill the generals and high-ranking officers of the Northern Army, and record the number of their kills."
"This will be used as the result for their final ranking in the competition!"
After hearing Bai Ze's idea, Zhu Qiyu was slightly stunned.
But he soon came to his senses, raised his head and said to Bai Ze.
"Just do as the Prime Minister says. I will fully support this approach!"
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu finally agreed to mobilize this group of people from the martial arts world, Bai Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the imperial city, Bai Ze did not rush back home, but said to the coachman.
"Seventh Brother, don't go back yet, take me to the posthouse, I want to see Brother Wen Yao!"
"Yes, sir."
After receiving Bai Ze's order, the driver turned the car around and headed towards the post station.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the post station and Bai Ze got off the carriage.
After tidying up his appearance, he strode into the post station.
