Tuo Huan's accusations all blamed the main responsibility for the loss of Yangzhou to Yuxi Timur, Ma Shao and Badu. Du Ge never mentioned seizing the military and political power of Yangzhou. Instead, he would say that it was a hero who took over the heavy responsibility of defending the city in times of crisis and was fully supported by the officials and military and civilians in the city. As for the final failure, it was also because the Song army had strong troops, sharp firearms, and the emergence of internal thieves led to the failure of the breakthrough.

Everyone knew that Ma Shao was a human being, and it was unbelievable that he had committed a rebellion against the emperor and treason. Several Han officials also made suggestions to defend him. However, the parties involved were not present. Yuxi Timur's life and death in Jiangnan were unknown. After the city was broken, Ma Shao's whereabouts were unknown. It was true that Badu and Du Ge rebelled against Yuan and became the leader party. The war reports from many places all mentioned that they acted as envoys of the Southern Dynasty to persuade them to surrender.

At present, only Tuo Huan, who escaped from danger alone, became a witness. Everyone saw his miserable appearance. All his wealth, son, wife and daughter were trapped in the city, and he only led dozens of guards to break out of the siege to warn the court. No matter how you look, he was also a hero of the empire. In addition, he was the beloved son of the former emperor and the brothers of the current emperor could not do anything that was unfavorable to the country, because for them, the real "country is home."

In addition, the few people here are important officials of the court and the core figures of the ruling group. Some of them are the initiators of the invasion of the south. Even if others did not directly participate, they were not unaware of it. Therefore, they knew that what Tuohuan said was not all false. At least they all knew that Yuxi Timur used Yangzhou City as "bait" to attract the main force of the Song army and Jiangdong. Moreover, Ma Shao, as a peacemaker, went to and from the Song camp to spy on military affairs, some people were also informed, and it was not impossible that something unknown happened.

"Khan, I think that Ma Shao's connection with the Southern Dynasty was very suspicious of leaking military aircraft, although it might have been revealed by accident. Otherwise, how could the Southern Dynasty know about the southern army's crossing south and make arrangements in advance, causing them to be trapped in Jiangdong. Therefore, Yangzhou was lost and the southern army was trapped. Ma Shao could not refuse the blame. He should be held accountable and punished!" Brother Sang stood up and bowed at this time. He knew that the Khan now believed in Han laws, so he also regarded his preferences and acted according to the etiquette of the Han ministers, rather than being as casual as the old Mongolian ministers.

"Brother Sang, this matter is not yet clear. Ma Shao's whereabouts are still unknown. How can we make a rash judgment? Please let the khan observe clearly!" Xu Yan heard what Brother Sang said, that he wanted to add all the responsibility for failure to Ma Shao. He quickly stood up and bowed to defend him.

"Xu Zhongcheng, who is right and who is not right, Khan will make a clear decision. However, based on the current situation and the description of King Zhennan, Ma Shao repeatedly criticized the government affairs and vented his dissatisfaction, excluding many colleagues, and could not let go of the Khan's love for the Khan who left the court and knew about the provinces to avoid disasters. He would inevitably have a strange ambition and did something inappropriate!" At this time, the Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat An Tong stepped forward and said.

"You Zheng..."

"Xu Zhongcheng doesn't have to say anything more. Ma Shao is a loyal or a traitor will be able to investigate the Ming Dynasty in the future. At present, the Southern Dynasties are launching a large-scale invasion of the north. This is a major event for the troops entering the Central Plains. National affairs must be put first!" Xu Yan still wanted to argue, but the Left Prime Minister Ye Li stopped him at this time and said.

"You..." Xu Yan knew that Ye Li and Ma Shao had a good personal relationship, but at this time he was questioned and misunderstood. It was okay that he would not stand up, but he still stopped him, which made him very angry. But when he saw his complicated eyes, he immediately understood and swallowed the words that reached his throat.

He knew that the position of officials was all very talented, and Yuxi Timuer crossed the south expedition without the instructions of the Khan. He was so brave that he dared not give up Yangzhou and did not save the King of Zhennan. Now Tuohuan just scolded Yuxi Timuer and resented Ma Shao, but never mentioned the Khan. Is it really that he didn't know who the planner was? The answer is definitely not.

Because Tuo Huan knew that no matter how hard he was, he could not shake the position of the real gold at the moment, but he annoyed the Khan, but he could take the responsibility to his head and kill him. So he understood what the bottom line was, and he should stop at what level he said, rather than being unreasonable. Brother Sang, An Tong and Ye Li also saw the situation clearly. Yangzhou was lost, and the enemy troops entered the Huanghuai River. As Tuo Huan said, tens of thousands of troops crossing the east of the Yangtze River were afraid that there would be more dangers.

If a country has such a big thing, someone will definitely be responsible for it, but it will definitely not be the real gold of the Khan as a decision-maker. Tuohuan is the highest-ranking leader in the two Huaihe Rivers and has the responsibility of an inspector. It is most appropriate to put the responsibility on him. But everyone knows that his identity is special, he has a position but no power, and he cannot control such major events that concern the rise and fall of the country. If the Khan takes the blame, he will not only be suspected of traitors and irritate the forces of the old sects, and naturally he will not do it at the moment.

Yuxi Timuer was the craftsman and executor of the Nanzheng Plan, and it was the most appropriate option to let him take responsibility. But now the news is cut off, and no one knows whether he wins or loses. If he rashly turns the blame to him, it would be better if he loses, but he is wise. But if he wins, he makes great contributions and confiscates his family here. Any fool will know what he will think. Moreover, Yuxi Timuer still holds 100,000 heavy troops in his hand. Once he is forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Dahan will not let him take the blame, at least not for the time being.

Brother Sang was extremely smart and experienced the pain of the Khan. He put the pot on Ma Shao with Tuohuan's words. One was that Ma Shao had a high position and could take on this responsibility; the other was that Ma Shao was demoted from the court and felt resentment as a reason for communicating the Song Dynasty, and as a liaison between the court and the Southern Dynasties, he also had the conditions to communicate with the enemy; the third was that the Han Dynasty had a small status at present, not only had few opponents, but also pleased the old sects and catered to the will of the holy.

In this way, no matter whether Ma Shao is alive or dead, loyal or traitorous, it is fine as long as someone bears the defeated blame. Of course, it is best if he dies in a chaotic army, and that is the reason he deserves the crime and the evil will be punished. Even if he is alive, he may not wait until the three courts to try, and he will be "death for suicide" on the way back or escape. If he really surrenders to the Southern Dynasty, the blame will be confirmed.

When Xu Yan thought of this, he realized that if he still stood up for Ma Shao, he would become the target of public criticism. Not only would he be attacked by the ministers, but more importantly, he would not be happy and would share his worries if he didn't know how to do so. Once he lost the protection of the Khan, his fate would be obvious. Therefore, Ye Li would wink him and let him stop arguing, so that he would not be able to defend himself and further weaken the strength of the Han Dynasty.

"Ma Shao betrayed the king and secretly communicated with the Southern Dynasties, which led to the fall of Yangzhou, and his crimes were not forgiven." Zhen Jin slapped the case and said angrily, "Ye Zuocheng, you will be responsible for investigating this case. Pay his property to the King of Zhennan as compensation. The family will be temporarily detained and will be dealt with after all his crimes are found!"

"I obey the order!" Ye Li said with a tribute.

"The Khan is wise!" The others also politely said. But everyone felt different. Xu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that although the Khan ordered an investigation, he just asked Ye Li to do it. Obviously, he also knew that Ma Shao was wronged and asked him to secretly help him and not to make things difficult for his family. Brother Sang was a little depressed. He stepped forward to impeach Ma Shao, with his original intention to further attack the Han legal faction and expel them from the court. But the Khan made a decision immediately, meaning that he could not use it to do so.

The most depressing thing is probably Tuohuan. He knew that Ma Shao was honest and his family property was naturally not much. The Khan gave him his family property as compensation, and the meaning was very interesting. In fact, he knew that he could not study it carefully, otherwise he would not be able to justify himself. If Yangzhou City was besieged by more than 100,000 Song troops before it was conquered, then where did the Song army that besieged Yuxi Timur's army in Jiangdong come from? And he accused Ma Shao of all from speculation and there was no evidence. The true gold means that he would shut up and stop making trouble, otherwise he would not be protected.

"Yue Chi Cha'er, what is the current situation of the battle?" Seeing that everyone had no objection to their handling, Zhen Jin looked at Yue Chi Cha'er and asked.

"Report to the Khan, I just received an urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles this morning. The vanguard of the Song army captured Xuyi City yesterday, and Sizhou was lost at the same time!" Yue Chi Cha'er hesitated for a moment and said with a bitter face.

"What are Xuyi and Sizhou occupied by the Song army? How could it be? "Zhen Jin suddenly stood up and said in surprise. He knew that Xuyi's city was solid, and even if there were not many defenders, it would not be conquered in one day, and Sizhou was destroyed at the same time. This was too strange.

"Khan, according to the envoy's words, when the vanguard of the Song army arrived at the city of Xuyi, the guards dispatched troops to defend the city and signed the troops to attack Ding Zhuang as soldiers to assist in defending the city. Sizhou also sent more than a thousand reinforcements to help defend the city. However, the night before yesterday, the camp suddenly roared and chaotic in the city. The people rushed to open the city gate and fled. As a result, the Song army took the opportunity to attack the city and seize the city gate. So the soldiers and civilians in the city turned to Sizhou and fled, and the Song army followed and pursued. Because the incident suddenly happened, the opposite defenders could not destroy the floating bridge, and the city gate was blocked by the rioters and could not be closed at all. So the Song army took advantage of the situation and broke into the city. The defenders were defeated and could only abandon the city and broke through the encirclement and left." Yue Chi Cha'er reported.

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this. The two strong cities were lost, and things were like a joke, which was unbelievable. But it was not surprising that the military camp has always been an authentic and stern place, and it was suppressed by military discipline on weekdays. Before the war, everyone's life and death were uncertain, and they didn't know whether they could come back alive tomorrow. Everyone was on the verge of mental collapse.
