Chapter 748
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's not a good time to start a full-scale war!"
Feeling the raging anger of Emperor Chu, all civil and military officials in the court were hesitant.
This time Da Chu lost all his face, especially what Tang Yu did in Da Chu Imperial City, which made people and gods abandon him. Until now, when Tang Yu is mentioned, many officials in Da Chu want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But at this juncture, a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty is not the best strategy.
"Everyone, tell me what you think!" Emperor Chu shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I think it is extremely inappropriate to start a war at this time! Although our Da Chu and the Tang Dynasty are in the same situation, it is already the cold winter season. Once the war starts, I visually predict that our soldiers will suffer from frostbite on a large scale, which will make us The combat effectiveness of the army is greatly reduced!"
"Moreover, many cities in the Tang Dynasty are close to the coast, and the temperature is much warmer than that in our country in Chu. Why not wait until spring gets warmer next year before fighting again?" A first-rank minister stood up.
The Emperor of Chu summoned the civil and military officials of the entire court late at night. Those who could attend this meeting were at least officials of the third rank of Zhongzheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is absolutely right. A war in the cold winter will be very detrimental to our country. Besides, Datang has received 500 million taels of silver, so they will definitely increase their defenses. After a full-scale war, as long as Datang The focus is on defense, as long as we continue to delay, we will definitely be defeated."
"Not only that, the Tang Dynasty's first line of defense, Jingzhou City, has been taken back by the Tang Dynasty. Jingzhou City is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now the Tang Dynasty has at least 200,000 troops. If you want to fully attack it, how can you Is it that easy? Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty also has an ally, the Northern Qi Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty is weak in a war, the Northern Qi Dynasty will definitely send troops to help."
Remember https://m in one second.
In an instant, many civil servants stood up one after another. It was the cold winter, and they knew the disadvantages of starting a war in the cold winter.
Seeing so many civil servants standing up to stop him, Emperor Chu frowned, which filled his heart with raging anger.
Since he inherited the throne, Da Chu has been invincible. In just ten years, Da Chu has become the overlord of the world, and its economy and people's livelihood have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Unexpectedly, this time he was defeated miserably at the hands of Datang. To be precise, he was defeated miserably at the hands of Tang Yu.
Whenever he thought of Tang Yu leaving Dachu alive and kidnapping Chu Ningyu and his favorite Concubine Zheng, the Emperor of Chu wished he could skin Tang Yu immediately.
"Winning a war in the cold winter is not only a shortcoming of our great state of Chu. Doesn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty also has no shortcomings?"
Prince Chu Yunteng stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Father, the Tang Dynasty is so arrogant and does not take my country Chu seriously into consideration. I want to fight!"
After returning to Dachu alive, Chu Yunteng's injuries gradually recovered. During this time, Chu Yunteng was also holding anger in his stomach.
As the prince of Chu, his status is second only to the monarchs of the seven countries in the world. Unexpectedly, he would fall into the hands of Tang Yu in the battle on the front line. Recalling the humiliation that Tang Yu and others had brought to him, Chu Yunteng wished he could take the lead immediately. The army of millions of tigers and wolves broke through the capital of Tang Dynasty.
"As expected of the crown prince appointed by me, Yunteng, I am very pleased that you are taking the lead in the battle!" Emperor Chu nodded with satisfaction.
Realizing that Emperor Chu was determined to start a war, the champion Hou Ye Yuanba stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, our Da Chu has been recruiting troops continuously during this period. At present, the total strength of our Da Chu has exceeded one million. Although 600,000 of them are new recruits, the comprehensive combat effectiveness is not It’s not too bad, we don’t need to rely on external forces, our Chu army strength alone is five times that of the Tang Dynasty!”
"If a full-scale war breaks out, I am willing to lead a large army to the capital of the Tang Dynasty. I will avenge my shame. I will let the people of the world take a good look at the majesty and integrity of our Chu people!"
"Your Majesty, although the Northern Qi Dynasty is an ally of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between the Southern Liang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty has always been at odds. As long as we encourage the Liang Emperor to intervene, it will be extremely difficult for the Northern Qi Dynasty to support the Tang Dynasty! Sir, please fight!" Then, Ye Ye Yuanhong also stood up.
The three of them were all captured by Tang Yu in this frontline battle. The three of them suffered a lot in the Tang Dynasty. Now they are eager to lead the army to break through the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty, pull out Tang Yu and make him unable to survive or die.
"Old minister, please fight!"
