When Feng Shijian heard Wei Nao calling him, he was startled. He originally had something to say, but when he moved his lips a few times, he finally shook his head and said: Report to Your Majesty, this old slave does not understand military matters. "
"You don't understand military matters. You have been the Minister of Internal Affairs for so many years. Don't you understand anything?" Wei Nao deliberately cursed.
"Your Majesty is right in reprimanding you." Feng Shijian just nodded.
Wei Nao was really helpless towards him. As Feng Shijian got older and older, although he was not really old yet, at nearly sixty years old, he did look a little senile.
Wei Nao couldn't help but have the idea of replacing him at this moment, but thinking that now was not the time, he looked at the court again and asked: "Any other suggestions?"
"Your Majesty, Lin Haoming and his party are still in the Chu Kingdom. Do you want your Majesty to ask the King of Chu to send them back?" Wang Song, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stood up and said.
"Is Xiong Xuzhi's illness real or fake?" Wei Nao looked at Feng Shijian again.
Feng Shijian took the initiative to stand up this time and said: "It's true. The White Dragon Guards in Chu State have received definite news. Xiong Xuzhi is indeed seriously ill, but it's not so serious that I don't believe it at all. Prince Lin is going this time..."
"You still call him Prince." Wei Nao said disdainfully.
When Feng Shijian heard this, he immediately changed his mind and said: "Lin Haoming's visit this time can be regarded as a treatment for Xiong Xuzhi. Perhaps he can also use the kindness of treatment to exchange Chu State's protection for him."
"Your Majesty, in fact, the Chu State's protection is nothing more than the belief that Ning Lin has a chance. If Ning Lin loses, and we ask the Chu State to send people back, I am afraid that with Feng Shijian's character, they will be arrested immediately." Wang Song was quite worried. If Tao.
"Mr. Lin is too old to take command. Although Jiang Heng and Wei Kang are also famous commanders, they have the same restrictions as Chen Tie. Based on your understanding of Tu You, I will let either of them take charge alone. Soldiers." Lin Haoming hit the nail on the head.
While they were dispatching troops and generals, Lin Haoming was playing chess with King Tu Youjun of Chu far away in the palace of the King of Chu.
"Haha, Wei Nao, Chen Tie is his child. His words may not be to stabilize the future for me." Tu Youjun said straightly.
"Your Majesty can't think that way, but you want your Majesty to understand whether you are right or wrong. To say that there is no plan is also a conspiracy." Lin Haoming also said bluntly.
"Yes!" Wang Song agreed immediately.
Lin Haoming arrived there a month later. Feng Shijian was indeed ill, and his life was not in danger for a while, but Lin Haoming came to save me. In addition to summoning a few courtiers, the King of Chu in front of me also saw other people.
"Indeed." Ning Lin agreed.
As a Taiwei, the head of the military attache, Tu You has always been consistent in his words, which is indeed not ordinary.
"Your Majesty, after that, the best thing is to mobilize the 100,000 small army guarding Hidden Dragon Mountain to go south to intercept, otherwise I'm afraid..." Xiong Xuzhi continued.
"Lieutenant Chen is the most civilized and military man in the dynasty. He is the best at military matters. He has nothing to dislike?" At that time, Ning Lin suddenly asked Mr. Lin, who had just been appointed Taiwei after a long time.
"But yes, you are too old. Although you survived that minor illness, you still know how long you can live, ten years or seventy years. You can still hold on even if the bad things happen to you. Chen Tie will no longer send troops. What does Wei Nao think the outcome will be?" Feng Shijian asked.
Feng Shijian smiled and said: "Wei Nao is really a god. You thought you would be able to do it after a month, and you didn't even have anyone draft the edict. Did you think that before Wei Nao arrived, he would have basically recovered in just one month?" .”
At this time, Ning Lin asked in person, and I might remain silent, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, no one can lead the army, but the old minister has been thinking, where can the soldiers and horses come from? There are only a hundred thousand forbidden troops, and they are guarding the royal capital. If you want land, where else can you mobilize your troops?"
Tu Youjun waved his hand and said: "You just believed in your sister. You said she could help you when she wasn't here, so you believed her. You came back seven or seven times in those years. Every time you saw you, did you feel a little wronged?" , it’s not even close to half a hundred people, there are still many men. Back then you were willing to sacrifice yourself, but in the end you chose to find your own happiness. Although you regret not having a son, it is not necessarily a blessing."
Lin Haoming also put down the chess pieces and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is very tired after being able to play chess for most of the day. This shows that your Majesty's illness is getting worse."
The two of us had not been playing chess for a long time. Feng Shijian had been away for a long time with the white chess piece. Finally, I put the chess piece back out of the jar, shook my head and said, "Tu You's chess skills are amazing, especially for me."
"Your Majesty dares to ask you to take action, and that's why today's results will be lost." Lin Haoming said anxiously.
"In this case, I am willing to dispatch troops and generals for Your Majesty." Mr. Lin seemed to be convinced and took the initiative.
Faced with those words, the two people looked at each other and laughed together. "That's it!" Ning Lin also felt that Mr. Lin was old and gone. Speaking of it, he was indeed not even ten years old. If I were not too young, Ning Lin would have thought about letting me wear the clothes. Get out of battle.
"What if you send troops at this time?" Tu Youjun asked.
"Marshal Jiang has been guarding Chu all year round. He cannot mobilize 170,000 horses. Wudi cannot mobilize 70,000 horses. There are no defenses in all the counties and counties in the old capital. It is a problem to recruit 100,000 people. Then there are no 800,000 people. We can't draw out 100,000 people along the northern border here, so 700,000 versus 700,000, if the enemy attacks and you defend, the advantage lies with you." Xiong Xuzhi stood up and said.
"Chen Taiwei, Feng Shijian is seriously ill now. Am I really going to take action at this moment? And even if we mobilize 170,000 people, we still don't have 100,000 troops to resist the Chu State for a while, right? Besides, since the Chu State suffered a minor defeat, What is the relationship with the Nanman tribe like? We have been fighting with the Nanman tribe for more than ten years. If Qu Xiong is good, no matter how bad he is, he will be replaced by other Nanman tribes." Xiong Xuzhi shook his head and said, outside my eyes, Mr. Lin There is no such thing as old age.
Mr. Lin looked at Tu Youjun's confident look, but shook his head and said: "The Chu Kingdom has been vigorously fighting for seventy years. Feng Shijian is not a mediocre person. He mobilized 170,000 people at once..."
Mr. Lin was a strong general in his old age, and he became more and more stable as he got older. He almost became Chen Tie's deputy commander at first, but now because Ning Lin purged officials from both factions, I became the Taiwei.
"Your Majesty is also worried about establishing a crown prince?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile.
"What he said is also wrong. In that case, he will go to Chu as an envoy tomorrow." Tu You gave the order directly.
"A stalemate between the two armies is not beneficial to him. If either side wins a quick victory, if he sends troops, it will only cause disaster. In those few years, the Southern Barbarians had just settled down. He expanded the border to the south, established two new counties, and completely digested the Southern Barbarians. The tribes are the next best option, and since there is no natural danger across the river, the Chu State has no protection. If they occupy the northern territory, it will consume the country's power, so waiting for the battle between Wei and Xia is the next best option." Lin Haoming said.
