Chapter 523 Going crazy

The news that King Cheng and Xie Zhan joined forces to fight against the imperial army was passed back to Chang'an, and Song Mo's roar resounded throughout the palace.

"Song Qian, you are a traitor, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Song family?"

If King Cheng was here, he would definitely curl his lips and say, you beat Xie Zhan and then you beat me, do you think I'm stupid?

The ministers looked at each other, this situation is really...

"I want to destroy them!"

The ministers: "Your Majesty, think twice."

"Don't persuade me to think twice! What you have to do is to execute my will! Make my ideas come true!" Song Mo said coldly.

The ministers: But I can't do it.

Song Mo doesn't care, "My ministers, let's talk about the solution now."

The ministers then began to whisper and discuss.

In the current situation, there are actually two options, one is to increase troops, and the other is not to increase troops.

If the troops are increased, where can we get the troops?

Now the Northwest and Liangzhou are occupied by the Xianbei, and the soldiers of the North led by Fu Jiangong have retreated to Lueyang.

Lueyang is located at the junction of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and is a military stronghold.

Fu Jiangong led the soldiers of the North to defend this place to prevent the Xianbei. They cannot move.

The Sun Family Army led by Sun Ming, stationed in Yanmen Dai County, has an even more arduous task.

They cannot move to defend Pingzhou in the east and resist the foreign tribes of Hulu in the north.

There is also an army sent by the King of Jin to prevent them from becoming bigger.

The 100,000 troops of Dong Guowei were mobilized to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan before, which was all the troops they could squeeze out.

I thought that they could fight quickly and decisively with more people, but unexpectedly, King Cheng intervened and the plan was messed up.

Increasing troops is just tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall.

If you don't increase troops, it will be a stalemate. This battle has changed from a blitzkrieg to a stalemate.

So, the ministers in the court quarreled again.

Song Mo was really troubled. Each of these ministers had his own reason.

Looking at the ministers who were arguing endlessly, Song Mo's eyes flashed with a trace of blood.

Pingzhou, Governor's Mansion

Before the court army went to war with Lingnan, Qin Heng went back to Changli to meet with Lu Songli.

The two talked for two quarters of an hour in the yamen...

"Sixth brother's wife, I believe Xie Zhan is not the kind of person who surrenders without a fight."

After several battles, Qin Heng thought he knew Xie Zhan well. Therefore, the court army's encirclement and suppression of Lingnan is likely to develop into a protracted war.

"Yeah." Lu Songli agreed with his judgment.

If the court cannot quickly fight and decide the battle against Lingnan, there will be disasters.

"How are the soldiers?" she asked.

"All very good." Qin Heng replied.

"Then I agree with this plan, big brother, just go ahead and do it, don't worry about the logistics supply."

"Okay, we'll be ready."

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

As long as the Xianbei move, they will take action.

Such a good opportunity, it would be a waste if they don't take action.

Later, they received news that the Dali court and Lingnan had gone to war.

In addition to the generals stationed in various places, all the high-level officials in Pingzhou government office gathered together.

Lu Desheng said first, "It seems that Xie Zhan and King Cheng should have formed an alliance."

It's hard to tell whether it's disappointment or what, anyway, he curled his lips and knew that Xie Zhan would not surrender.

In the meeting room, Xue Xu, Guo Chunsheng, Xu Zheng, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan, Ji Wuyin, Wu Chi and Lei Xin and other high-level officials were discussing this matter with each other.

Now King Cheng and Xie Zhan have formed an alliance.

The Dali court and the Xianbei royal court are still powerful, ranking first and second.

The strength of their Pingzhou was originally ranked third. Now, it has become the second to last?

Although there is a King of Jin at the bottom, it always feels not so safe.

It is easy to be bullied when the ranking is low.

"Will the court turn around and attack King of Jin?" Liu Heshan worried.

"It is also possible to attack our Pingzhou." Chen Ping added.

The original six forces formed their own factions. Excluding the Dali court and the Xianbei royal court, our Pingzhou ranked third.

Guo Chunsheng looked at everyone, "Governor, should we send someone to Donghai to express our Pingzhou's willingness to form an alliance with King Jin?" Form an alliance in advance to prevent the Dali court from using their Pingzhou as a soft persimmon.

"Will the court be exhausted in this way?" Ji Wuyin felt that the Dali court would not be so stupid.

Lu Songli felt that Song Mo would not do this.

Whether it is turning around to attack King of Jin or attacking their Pingzhou, if they all choose to form an alliance, the court will waste their efforts and no one can do anything.

Therefore, if they can think of forming an alliance with King of Jin, the Dali court will definitely think of it too.

"I think it's good to form an alliance." Xue Xu smiled, "Although we don't need it so urgently in Pingzhou, I think it's necessary to show weakness appropriately."

At this time, everyone looked at Lu Songli.

Lu Songli smiled and said, "Alliance? It's not impossible."

Although the court is powerful, it can't beat four fists with two hands. We need to guard against this and that. The troops that can be drawn are limited.

In fact, the most fundamental problem of the Dali court is that Dali's troops are too stretched.

It is difficult to solve the current dilemma with conventional methods.

In fact, Song Mo has a little madness, but many people seem to ignore it. This is also because he has been quite normal for the past two or three years.

Song Mo has just ascended the throne in the past two or three years. He must want to do well and work hard.

But unfortunately, Song Mo has not made any achievements in his two years of ruling.

Even the three-year peace treaty that they led to the court signing with the Xianbei royal court in Houcheng, Liaodong County last year, Song Mo thought it was his first political achievement after ascending the throne. Now it is just a joke.

There are also various natural and man-made disasters, which have brought him denial and abuse.

All these things tortured him.

In addition, he has not been angry recently.

Lu Songli estimated that he was on the verge of going crazy.

At this time, it is the worst policy for them to speculate on the court's next move and then take relevant precautions.

The best policy is that on the surface, it is their Pingzhou who urgently hopes to form an alliance with the King of Jin, and secretly, they are taking another strategy. It is possible not to be affected by Song Mo's crazy outburst.

Wu Chi, the governor of Xuantu County, was a little entangled, "But what if the Dali court finally chooses to encircle and suppress the King of Jin first? Wouldn't our Pingzhou have to send troops to help?" In this way, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?

Hearing this, most people present laughed.

Wu Chi and Lei Xin were confused.

Lu Desheng sighed, "Brother Wu, we have worked together for too short a time. You will know after a long time."

Wu Chi and Lei Xin still didn't understand.

Ji Wuyin also smiled, "Master Wu, don't worry. No matter who suffers, we in Pingzhou will not suffer." He thought to himself that anyone could suffer, but their governor would not.

The two seemed to understand a little bit. It was good not to suffer.

Lu Songli said, "Alliance is an alliance, but sending troops must have conditions."
