"I also want to lead the expedition myself!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Lin couldn't sit still.

With a pop, he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! No!"

Cao Meng looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely irritated: "If I don't lead the expedition myself, how can I just sit there and wait for death in Kyoto?"

The breakdown of the first line of defense, including Lincheng, was something he had expected.

Three days!

If ordinary troops are stationed, they can stay for up to three days!

Later, He Fan took the initiative to ask for help, and he was very happy, even if the result was that at most three days would turn into fifteen days.

result……

oh!

Tell me, He Fan only stayed there for two days?

They even brought in a large number of elites.

And it was such an ugly defeat!

When had the generals of the Wei Dynasty been so vulnerable?

Cao Meng's first reaction was to be embarrassed!

But then comes fear!

What frightened him was not the power of the Huang country. Although the divine heavy cavalry was strong, the Wei country also had troops that were not weak at all.

What really frightened him was the decline of Wei.

Regardless of the national strength, the people's morale, or morale, they are all rotten to the point of being riddled with holes.

He only has one idea now, and that is to conquer it personally.

He wanted to stand on the city wall, live and die with the soldiers, and let everyone in the city know that he, Cao Meng, was the emperor who cared about the people and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.

Even if the city is really broken!

You must be the first to die for your country!

Cao Meng's voice was low and hoarse: "Isn't it possible that Prime Minister Lin won't even agree to this condition?"

"well……"

Prime Minister Lin let out a long sigh. He understood Cao Meng's current state of mind very well.

When the three-year period was originally set, he was by Cao Meng's side.

The monarch at that time was very talented and strategic.

While adhering to righteousness, he won three precious years for Wei.

The Wei State has always been a powerful country. At that time, everyone believed that as long as they spent three years stably and filled the granaries of the people and the court, the Wei State would be able to restore its strength.

At that time, Qi State also broke with Chu State due to the main war faction, and Wei State had room to maneuver.

At that time, it will be able to firmly establish itself as a major power through diplomatic means. Whether it is continued development or outward expansion, it will be a very strong initiative.

That year, the Wei State issued many policies that benefited the people, and everything was developing in a good direction.

result……

The Seven Sons of Jiashen suddenly appeared in the deserted country, and domestic reforms in all aspects were advanced by leaps and bounds, with a momentum that frightened the five Central Plains countries.

The Wei State borders the Huang State and is under great pressure.

After careful consideration, Cao Meng finally found the Taoist representative in Wei Kingdom and obtained the formula of the animal blood medicine at the minimum cost.

Among the medicines in the formula, the most expensive one is the ten-year-old Yinbaizhi, which the Wei state's finances can easily afford.

What's more, at the cost of a few nights of Empress Bamboo Leaf and some empty promises, the entire Jiuyou Valley's medicinal materials were obtained.

Everything seems to be no big deal.

Who would have thought that Jiuyou Valley would be destroyed.

The price of Yinbaizhi has also been shot to the sky.

Wei Guo was forced to a dead end in the blink of an eye.

In this case, either give up the animal blood medicine and face the desolate country with strong national power and still wild development in the most stable state.

Either the troops move dangerously and the military strength is rapidly increased in exchange for national bonds.

As long as there are hundreds of thousands of beast-blood legions, they can rise quickly and destroy the Qi State without any problem. They can even seize many cities from the Chu State.

Before the desolate country has developed to the point where it is impossible to resist, let the area east of Xilongguan become an existence that they can never reach.

The second method is a bit risky, but it is better than the first method of boiling the frog in warm water.

Unless you want to sit back and wait for death, you must give it a try.

So after that decision was made, not many people opposed Cao Meng from the bottom of their hearts.

But I didn't expect that the desert country Qi would be so ruthless and tear such a big hole in the national bonds.

One wrong step!

Wrong step!

Finally, we got to where we are today.

Cao Meng had tried his best. The only thing he did wrong was taking the step that everyone would make.

No matter how you try to boost people's morale later, it will be useless.

The inheritance of our ancestors is at risk.

Of course he understood Cao Meng's current mood.

Lin Xiang sighed: "Your Majesty! Although Huang Guo used evil tactics to defeat Lincheng, Lincheng itself should be abandoned. There is a great pass behind it, so there is no need for your Majesty to risk your life! Besides, I, the capital of Wei, are just in Jian'an.

It is the most powerful city, but now the east-west artery has been bombed by the Chu people! As long as Jian'an is defended, the wilderness country to the east of Jian'an still cannot get involved!"

"shit!"

Cao Meng said angrily: "If all the cities to the west of the capital have fallen, what else can the capital be called a capital?"

Prime Minister Lin gritted his teeth: "Why can't it be the capital? Even if Jian'an is adjacent to Huangguo, why can't the emperor guard the country? Your Majesty will go to the front line, which is the real motivation!"

The emperor guards the country?!

Hearing these five words, Cao Meng's heart tightened.

Immediately, endless sadness lingered in his chest.

yes!

Even if Jian'an is adjacent to Huangguo, why can't it be regarded as the capital?

As long as I stay here, I can stabilize the people's morale!

Cao Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then I'll follow what Prime Minister Lin said!"

Lin Xiang smiled: "Actually, Your Majesty, you don't need to be so pessimistic. The main reason why Lincheng fell so quickly is that Lincheng is a barren land. It will naturally be easy to disperse when there are more refugees. But there are not so many refugees in the following cities, Your Majesty.

I once had a far-sighted vision, what do I have to fear today?"

"What Mr. Lin said is absolutely true!"

Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now I was so angry that I lost control of myself for the first time.

But if you think about it carefully, you have already taken the countermeasures that you can do, so why should you be so nervous?

The emperor guards the country...

Then guard the country!

He didn't believe that the Xiongcheng he had carefully built was still the same as Zhihu's in front of Zhao Hao!

…

On the front line, the deserted army attacked the city and captured the territory.

Everywhere he went was destroyed.

After all, this is the most barren place in the western part of the Wei Kingdom. Especially after the various actions of the Huang Kingdom after they captured Lincheng came to their ears, they instantly lost the thought of resisting.

Where are the enemy troops here?

This is obviously a good compatriot who saved us from fire and water!

Many cities, without even a decent resistance, were directly included in the territory of the wilderness.

Yaocheng!

He Fan looked to the west, his whole body in a state of numbness.
