Chapter 628: Unstoppable

Emperor Wanling.

next morning.

Chongde Hall.

Bells and drums rang together, and the court meeting officially began.

Xiao Huangmen also stopped talking about the nonsense of playing early if there is something to do, and retreating to the court if there is nothing to do. How could it be possible to be all right at a time like this.

Liu Yao took a deep breath and asked on the spot: "Zijing, how is the recent battle going? Is there any news of victory?"

"this……"

Lu Su's voice was drawn out and he pondered for a long time, but finally he chose to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Zhou Yu, Admiral of the Zhao Bandit Navy, came up the Shuo River from the mouth of the Yangtze River and encountered our navy."

Emperor Liu Yao leaned forward, his eyes brightened: "How is it?"

Liu Yao is full of confidence in his navy.

After all, he had seen that huge warship with his own eyes, and its power was astonishing. In front of it, ordinary warships would not be able to fight at all.

Therefore, when Liu Yao heard the news, he felt faintly excited.

He wants to use this naval victory to boost the morale of the three armies, so as to break the myth of Ye Feng's invincibility!

Have to admit!

Liu Yao is so beautiful, but he just wants to be so beautiful!

Mandian civil and military officials already knew about the situation of the battle, but they dared not mention it.

They all watched their noses and noses, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, especially when they saw Liu Yao's confident expression, they were even more afraid of his surprise and loss after hearing the result.

What kind of scene that will be, the civil and military do not know.

cough cough!

Zhang Zhao deliberately coughed, then shook his head lightly, warning Lu Su.

Lu Su naturally understood Zhang Zhao's meaning, but if such an important battle situation was not reported to the emperor, he would feel uneasy!

Honestly, there is no way!

Lu Su resolutely bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, it was reported that the defeat was reported this morning. General Chen Heng was defeated by Zhou Yu in the Yangtze River. His head was in a different place. Now Zhou Yu may have led the army to land in the direction of Wanling." coming."

Liu Yao was astonished, his face was ashen!

He seemed a little unbelievable, his eyes full of disbelief, but luckily he didn't fall down yet.

All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief!

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Liu Yao got up, paced back and forth beside Long Yu, and said sharply, "We have three of the latest building ships. What is Chen Heng doing for food? With such a powerful weapon, how can he still be defeated?"

Lu Su said softly: "Your Majesty, according to reports from the soldiers who fled back, Zhou Yu's warship seems to be more advanced. It can attack warships at a distance of about 1,000 paces, and it can throw stones at a distance of about 500 paces!"

"And we..."

Lu Su took a deep breath, feeling a little melancholy: "But we can only attack with bows and arrows at about a hundred paces, or directly collide with each other. If you compare the two, it is clear at a glance which one is better."

Liu Yao sat on top of the dragon with a plop!

In his eyes, there was a blank look, as if the seven souls had lost the three souls: "Hushu, Moling, Danyang, Wanling, if you follow this route for more than a month, you will go back to the city!"

"what to do?"

"what to do?"

Liu Yao looked flustered and frowned, exaggerating to the extreme.

Just at this time, there was a rushing report from outside the hall.

Liu Yao was stunned, looked up, paused for a while, sweating profusely, and dared not speak.

The little yellow gate beside him lowered his voice: "Your Majesty!"

Only then did Liu Yao swallow his saliva, and greeted: "Announce!"

"Xuan!"

Squeak!

The gate of the palace opened, and a small official broke in from the outside.

Liu Yao hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The little official bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, it was just now that Wu County and Kuaiji were both defeated. The Zhao thief navy landed from these two places, and now they have captured Fuchun and Yuji counties."

ah!

Liu Yao let out an exclamation.

He stood up involuntarily, his eyes full of fear.

quiet!

In the main hall, there was deathly silence.

For a long while, no one dared to speak, their eyes were clear, and they all gathered on Liu Yao, hoping that he could survive.

But Liu Yao is just Liu Yao after all.

His eyes suddenly went dark, his body softened, and he fell to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Su rushed forward: "Quick! Tell the imperial doctor!"

Liu Yao opened his hazy eyes and looked at the tent man above the dragon couch, feeling sad.

The imperial doctor next to the couch breathed a sigh of relief, got up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please follow the matter urgently, and I hope that your Majesty will forgive me for my crime of rudeness."

In order to see a doctor for the emperor, the imperial doctor pinched and pressed again, and all kinds of emergency measures greeted the emperor.

You must know that the emperor is a man of gold, how can he be treated like this.

Liu Yao took a long breath, waved his hands and said, "Forget it! Forget it! Are Zijing, Zibu, Ruo Rong and others here?"

The imperial doctor said softly: "They are waiting in the outer hall right now."

Liu Yao hummed, and forced himself up: "Call them to come."

The imperial doctor frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, you need to rest, how about..."

"There's no time to rest."

Liu Yao sighed with emotion, and said with a sad face: "You go down now, and call Zijing and the others in by the way. I have an urgent matter to discuss with them, so we can't delay."

The imperial doctor bowed his body and cupped his hands: "No!" After saying that, he bowed his body and slowly exited the inner hall.

Not for a while.

Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Ruo Rong and others entered the hall.

All civil and military personnel bowed their bodies and cupped their hands: "Your Majesty."

Liu Yao waved his hand, "You don't need to be too polite, dear friends."

Everyone was indifferent, and as a last resort, Liu Yao had no choice but to take the lead and said: "My dear ministers, you are all loyal ministers. Now the country is in crisis, and it is time for you to unite sincerely and overcome difficulties together. .”

"I don't know if you can have a countermeasure!"

Liu Yao asked tentatively.

All the civil and military people look at me and I look at you, they are still indifferent, without a word.

Liu Yao forcibly suppressed his anger, and said softly, "This is not the Chongde Hall. Lovers, please don't be nervous. Say what you want. Even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you. It's all for the country."

But for a long time, no one spoke.

The honest man Lu Su couldn't bear it and stepped out.

Liu Yao was overjoyed and nodded in praise: "Lu Zijing is indeed a loyal minister of the country."

Lu Su let out a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Your Majesty, Bandit Zhao is very powerful. Up to now, he has dispatched a total of seven troops, with a strength of about 300,000."

"As for our battle at Poyang Lake in Chaisang and the battle at Moling Yangtze River, our losses were relatively heavy. At this time, as His Majesty said, the country is at a time of life and death. If we want to turn the tide, we must have loyalty and bravery!"

Liu Yao nodded humbly.

In fact, although the two battles of Poyang Lake and Yangtze River caused heavy losses to Liu Yao, they were not to the extent of bruising the foundation.

If there is a loyal and brave general leading the team and fighting the bandits to the death, there is still a chance to turn the tide.
