"Now we cannot spread the matters in the capital." Li You said slowly after a long time, "We can only know this matter in our hearts at the moment. We must not report to Your Majesty."

"Why is this? Yang Jiefu and others colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and the whole family was killed." Qiu Shangjian also came over at this time. He had just suffered the pain of losing his father and gritted his teeth at Yang Jiefu and others.

"Now that the previous army has been destroyed, the elders of each family have died in the national crisis, and most of the generals in the army have lost. It is a time when the army is in panic. If they know that the civil servants in the capital have sold us, they may not have to be attacked by Tang Kuo's troops and the entire army will collapse." Li You's words made everyone shudder, "And to say something disrespectful, our Majesty does not seem to be a wise ruler who is not born in the world. I believe that after hearing the defeat of the former army, they will panic. If he knew the plans of Yang Jiefu and others, he would definitely be in chaos. He didn't know what would happen. Therefore, this matter must be hidden from him first, and he will be informed of the truth of the matter after he escaped."

"This time it was my father and the others who were reckless." Qiu Shangjian was also a little awake now. "If it weren't for being suppressed by the aristocratic family and poor families for too long, his father and others would not have agreed to the imperial army to personally fight. If the army generals led the army and his father assisted His Majesty in the capital, it would be not so easy for Yang Jiefu and others to carry out a conspiracy."

"Hey, after this battle, my nobles lost all the essence, and I will no longer be able to compete with them in the court. Even if we can escape this disaster, our lives will not be better in the future." Qian Hua said with a calm face. Just in the front army, the nobles and nobles of the Great Wei generals lost one-third, and their strength was greatly damaged. Especially the death of British Gongqiu Yuande made the nobles lose their leading figure. From then on, no one has the qualifications and prestige united the nobles together to compete with the nobles and poor families. It can be expected that after this battle, the nobles in the court will be suppressed by Yang Jiefu and others, and they have no strength to resist.

"It's too early to think about this now. Let's first think about how to deal with the upcoming Tang Kuo army?" Li You turned the topic to the right track. "The most important thing now is to save our Majesty's life. If he lives, we will have a glimmer of life. If His Majesty returns to heaven or falls into the hands of Tang Kuo army, then the guilt of losing the Lord is enough to make Yang Jiefu and others punish us and death."

When Wang Ji heard this, he immediately stood up and walked to the map to check it out in a concentrated manner. "The place where the front army was destroyed is not far from here. With the speed of the Tang Kuo army, we can reach here for up to five days. Now we camp in the wild without any danger. There is no danger in the army. There is also a shortage of food and grass in the army. We must find a city to resist the city and guard it."

He did not say anything nonsense about winning the field. With the morale of the imperial guards of the Great Wei Dynasty and the lack of the commander of this group of long-time generals, fighting against Tang Kuo's troops would only be a death sentence. Everyone understands this.

"Then let's see which city is closest to the army, right?" Qian Hua, Qiu Shangjian and others also came to the map and studied it carefully with Wang Ji. Li You secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Yao Guangxiao had returned to the capital safely and started his own plan.

At the same time, Li Gui in the Imperial Camp also received the bad news. Wei Shiliang lay on the ground and reported to him the news that was like a bolt from the blue. "The Duke of England and more than 20 noble generals died in this battle, and Tang Kuo's troops suffered little losses, and now they have attacked the central army."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Li Gui suddenly looked deserted and sat on the chair and muttered to himself. According to his expectation, wherever the army went, the barbarians of the Tang Kuo army would be defeated and easily win a big victory. Didn't Taizu and Taizong and others do this back then? However, they did not expect that they would lose 100,000 troops in one battle, and even British Gongqiu Yuande, who went to the front army to inspect military affairs, was dead.

"Your Majesty, now the army of Tang Kuo's troops has come to us. How to deal with it needs to be planned early." Wei Shiliang's heart was also bitter at this time. He was the first to encourage the emperor to lead the army in person. Even if His Majesty did not kill him now, the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials would just let him go.

I regret that I heard Wei Zhen's words. Thinking of this, Wei Shiliang suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. It seems that Wei Zhen hasn't appeared for a whole day. Did he expect such an end?

What he didn't know was that his godson Wei Zhen was buried in an ancient well where his body and head were different, and would never appear in front of anyone again.

"Hurry, summon all the generals and retreat to the capital." Li Gui, who was scared to death, woke up from the shock and said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, no, the army is already in panic. If you withdraw your troops rashly, you will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Tang Kuo's troops." Wei Shiliang was still a little brained, and he quickly advised, "Your Majesty is still going to summon the generals of the army to discuss and make a decision?"

"Okay, okay, go and invite Shunchang's uncle Chen Yu's Jiazhou uncle Li You, Zhenwu Camp commander Qian Hua and others to discuss matters." Li Gui seemed to be a drowning man grabbing a straw and quickly shouted out a string of names.

Wei Shiliang took the opportunity to escape from Li Gui, and quickly ordered his confidants to rush to the various battalions to call people. He paced back and forth at the gate of the imperial camp, waiting for the arrival of these people.

Chen Yu, Li You and others came quickly, and each of them looked solemn. They didn't bother to say hello to Wei Shiliang and went straight into the imperial camp. When Li Gui saw them, he quickly stopped their salute and asked repeatedly, "Everyone, the former army has been completely lost. What should we do?"

Chen Yu's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something but stopped. He had guessed something from his experience during this period, but thinking that it was not the time to say this at this time, so he changed his words, "Your Majesty, there is not much food in the camp now, and the morale of the army is dispersed. Whether it is to defend the enemy from the throne or face the enemy head-on, it is a bad strategy."

"Then, let's go back to the capital?" Li Gui wanted to run away again.

Think about what heroic figures Taizu and Taizong were back then, how could there be such an unworthy junior like you? Chen Yu had such a disrespectful thought in his heart.

"Your Majesty, no." Li You sighed and stood up, saying again the reason Wei Shiliang had just said, and finally said, "Now, we can only find a nearby city base to defend the enemy, and wait for the rear army to come and join forces to repel Tang Kuo's troops."
