"What? Yege led 150,000 cavalry to attack northern Xinjiang?"
"This is too exaggerated. That's 150,000 cavalry."
"Ye Ge is coming very menacingly and is very evil."
…
The ministers talked a lot.
Very worried.
Ba Wang, Zhang Yongwu, and Yang Ke looked at each other.
There was surprise in each other's eyes.
The old emperor was also very shocked: "Yege had just been defeated at the hands of Yan Aiqing. He didn't learn a lesson and stayed behind closed doors to think about his mistakes. However, he came back again and raised troops to go south. He really didn't forget to eat but not to fight."
"Yan Aiqing, what do you think?"
Yan Qi said in a sonorous voice: "Back to the emperor, Yege's army marched south, like wolves and tigers, and he treated us like lambs. He was so arrogant, how could I tolerate him?"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we send a large army north to fight Yege to the death, so that Yege can experience the supreme military might of our great army."
The old emperor nodded: "Yan Aiqing is indeed a man of character and worthy of being the pillar of the country."
The old emperor looked at Zhang Yongwu again: "What do you think, General Zhang?"
"This..." How dare Zhang Yongwu express his thoughts?
He looked at the Eight Kings.
The Eight Kings' thoughts are his thoughts.
Yan Qi said: "General Zhang, the emperor is asking you something. If you don't answer, what does it mean when you look at the eight kings?"
Zhang Yongwu hesitated: "This matter needs long-term consideration."
Yan Qi sneered: "Yege has already reached the door of his house, but General Zhang still wants to make long-term plans? Why? Do you still want to surrender?"
Zhang Yongwu was anxious: "Who said we were going to surrender?"
Yan Qidao: "If you don't surrender, you will fight. What else are you planning to do? Besides fighting, can you come up with some tricks?"
"Ahem..."
Zhang Yongwu was speechless.
Yan Qi looked at the Eighth King: "It's useless to ask General Zhang. It's better to ask the Eighth King. Eighth King, do you think you should surrender?"
The Eighth Prince's mind was racing, and he spoke righteously: "Yege is so arrogant, how can we tolerate him? We should lead the army to attack and kill him alone."
"good!"
Yan Qi applauded: "What the Eight Kings said is powerful, I agree."
Bawang kept analyzing in his mind.
Logically speaking, before Yege attacks Northern Xinjiang, he will pass on information to the Eight Kings through various channels, either overtly or covertly.
Only when the Eight Kings are on guard can they not panic.
However, this time, Yege made a surprise attack.
Attacking northern Xinjiang, but there was no
He was notified.
And this is what makes the Eight Kings so unbelievable.
But no matter how unbelievable it is, he will take a stand and fight to the death with Ye Ge.
This is his basic position, and it is also a helpless move where the butt determines the head.
In short, he cannot declare surrender, let alone cede territory and pay compensation.
Although, he would think so in his heart.
The old emperor said: "My dear friends, who of you is willing to lead the army into battle?"
While speaking, the old emperor stared at Yan Qi and Zhang Yongwu.
Because only these two people are qualified.
Zhang Yongwu did not dare to look at the old emperor.
Yan Qi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight again to repel Yege and ensure the safety of our Dahua side."
"good!"
The old emperor said: "Yan Aiqing is worthy of holding the purple golden beam across the sea! General Zhang, are you willing to go to war?"
"I……"
Zhang Yongwu hesitated: "I think this matter should be discussed in the long term."
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "General Zhang, if you don't dare to go to war, just say you don't dare to go to war. Don't talk about long-term plans. It's really funny."
"you……"
Zhang Yongwu was indeed a little scared.
Yege led his family's 150,000 cavalry to attack the city, which was no small matter.
The last time, Yege only led 70,000 cavalry to attack the city, which caused a devastating blow to the northern border.
If it weren't for Yan Qi's trick, Northern Xinjiang would have been captured by Yege long ago.
Dahua could only retreat to Jizhou.
This time, Ye Ge led an army of 150,000, which was more than twice the number of the last time.
Moreover, he was still angry and raised an army to fight for revenge.
Think about it, it's terrible.
For a moment, Zhang Yongwu dared to ask for a fight.
He was so spineless that the officials couldn't help but laugh at him.
"Who dares to stand upright with a sword? We still have to look at Master Yan."
"General Zhang is getting less and less courageous."
"There is no way. General Zhang was defeated by Yege three times before. When he met Yege, General Zhang was so frightened that he took a detour. How could he dare to raise troops to go north?"
…
Zhang Yongwu's cheeks turned red and he didn't know what to say.
He looked at the Eight Kings.
The Eighth Prince fell into deep thought and did not express his position for a long time.
Yan Qi had already calculated that this would be the case.
He continued to give Zhang Yongwu eye drops: "Your Majesty, there is no need to think about it anymore. I will lead an army of 200,000 in the capital to go north to meet the enemy, defeat Ye Ge, and restore peace to the people."
"good!"
The old emperor stood up excitedly: "I have decided that whoever can defeat Yege in this battle will be crowned the king. I will also crown him the war king, ranking him above the virtuous kings!"
"Yan Aiqing, I am very pleased that you have invited me to fight in Northern Xinjiang. In the future, the day of your triumph will be the day when I will make you the King of War."
Yan Qida was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cultivation. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."
…
The ministers were thunderous.
"Oh my god, the emperor actually promised to be crowned king? Or war king. This is the highest honor."
"That's right, the status of the War King is still higher than that of the wise kings of the past. In the five hundred years since the founding of the country, there has only been one War King. Now, the War King is about to reappear."
"Master Yan may have a chance to be crowned the King of War. Last time, he defeated Yege, and this time, he may be sure of victory."
…
The Eight Kings were anxious.
If Yan Qizhen was named the War King, his status would be above him.
Not to mention that he is just an ordinary prince now, even if he once held the title of Wise King, he is still half a level lower than the War King.
The eight kings hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, I think that awarding a war king is too grandiose. We should consider it in the long run."
The old emperor laughed angrily: "Is it too exaggerated to award a war king? Then look at it, no one in the civil and military dynasty except Yan Qi dared to fight against Ye Ge. Isn't this exaggerated?"
"this……"
The Eight Kings were unable to utter a single word when reprimanded by the old emperor.
The old emperor looked determined: "I don't care so much, I have made up my mind. Whoever can defeat Yege and protect our territory on the Dahua side will be named the King of War! Yan Aiqing is not afraid of life and death. If she requests to fight, I will give it to you." I am very optimistic about Yan Aiqing's opportunity to be crowned king."
The Eight Kings were moved.
War King?
This time, isn't it also an opportunity for me to become the King of War?
Yan Qi can fight.
Why can't I?
Moreover, how could the Eight Kings allow Yan Qi to become the King of War?
If Yan Qi really becomes the King of War, who can suppress him?
From now on, nothing is possible.
The Eight Kings knew the priorities of the matter.
He immediately stood up: "Brother Imperial, Yege's invasion of the northern border is really a heinous crime. As a bloodline of the royal family, I should share the worries of my brother and defend the land for the people! I am willing to lead the army in person to meet the enemy in the north and kill Yege. Not a single chicken or dog will be left alive.”
"oh?"
The old emperor was startled: "The Eight Kings want to personally lead their troops to attack Ye Ge? Is this... true?"
