As soon as Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, Li Shouting on the side began to echo.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since you want to fight the Huns, you must not hesitate. The longer you delay, the greater the possibility of changes."
"Now, not long after the Huns invaded our country, and saw that there was no movement in our country, it should be the most relaxed time. At this time, we should take immediate action to attack the Xiongnu."
After Li Shouting finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan nodded.
"What Mr. Li said is exactly what I think."
"Since Your Majesty has this idea, it is better to make a decision early, fight the Huns early, and achieve a quick victory, so as to give Daqing time to deal with internal and external troubles."
Liu Qi stared at these two old guys.
Can't you two just be the same person?
Now I have just mastered 30,000 troops and horses. Although I have Bai Qi, the training progress has not yet taken shape.
Even if there are 50,000 soldiers and horses supported by Liu Xuan, at least it will take some time to get used to it before it can be truly controlled.
Taking a group of 80,000 troops with uneven combat capabilities and no cooperation to fight the Huns is undoubtedly no different from risking death.
How could Liu Qi not understand that this was Yang Wenyuan's retreat to advance, in order to push himself to the wall?
General Han Zhong is a kind man.
After hearing what the two adults said, he was the first to refute.
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."
"Although His Majesty the Crown Prince has brave ambitions, he has never had any experience in military affairs. He brought 80,000 troops and horses to fight against the Huns in such an abrupt manner. Isn't this just throwing an egg at a stone?"
At this point, contradictions began to appear again.
On the one hand, we advocate quick solutions, and on the other hand, we advocate prudence.
Just when Emperor Qing was hesitating, Liu Xuan rolled his eyes and suddenly stood up.
"Father, what General Han said is reasonable. In this case, why not let the experienced general lead the troops to fight against the Huns."
"In this way, you don't have to worry about the fact that the prince has no experience in military affairs."
How can military generals miss such a good opportunity to make achievements.
A general immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to defeat the Xiongnu!"
"The general can guarantee that within half a year, I will kill the Xiongnu without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
At this time, General Han Zhong also expressed his position, but he said it more euphemistically.
"Your Majesty, if you trust me, I am willing to lead troops there. At least when I was young, I followed General Yue and had experience fighting the Huns."
Listening to the generals asking for battle one after another, Liu Qi felt uncomfortable.
If my father agreed to anyone's request, his previous plans would be in vain.
Maybe, he will take his military power back to the imperial court.
Seeing Emperor Qing start to think carefully about this, Liu Qi's brows became more serious.
But at this moment, Yang Wenyuan suddenly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate at this time."
Emperor Qing was a little confused.
"Oh? What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
"Your Majesty, I think that although General Han has experience, it has been many years ago. Daqing is changing, and the Huns are also changing. So, it can be said that we currently have no experience in fighting against the Huns."
"In that case, what's the big difference between His Highness leading the troops and the generals going there?"
Liu Xuan laughed.
"Of course there is a difference. The generals have at least led troops, but the prince has never led any soldiers."
Yang Wenyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"The words of the eldest prince are wrong. When the late emperor of our dynasty founded the Qing Army, he was just a civil servant. However, the late emperor planned the strategy, commanded it properly, and used the troops like a god. Even though he never fought on the battlefield, he still achieved great achievements."
"Since the prince has always advocated leading the troops personally, he must have had a strategy in advance. With the assistance of the generals, his military experience can naturally make up for it."
"Experience is gained slowly through experience. No one is born with it. Isn't it a good thing that the prince is still young and takes this opportunity to grow?"
Liu Qi was a little confused.
What kind of medicine is sold in Yang Wenyuan's gourd? Why did he suddenly speak up for himself?
No, no, this old guy will never be so kind. He must be waiting for me somewhere.
It's not over yet.
"Your Majesty, according to what I see, it is most appropriate for the prince to lead the army."
"When I come, I can demonstrate my power in Daqing and tell the Huns that I, the royal family, are by no means ordinary people."
"Secondly, the prince's personal expedition can greatly improve the morale of our army. It can also show the Xiongnu our determination to attack the invading enemies."
Emperor Qing nodded, seeming to think that what Yang Wenyuan said was reasonable.
Seeing this, Liu Xuan quit.
How could such a good opportunity to weaken the prince's power be let go so easily.
"Master Yang, although what you said makes sense, what if Liu Qi leads an army and cannot defeat the Huns?"
Yang Wenyuan still looked calm and composed.
"The eldest prince will ask the prince now. The old minister vaguely remembers that when the prince said he would lead troops to attack the Xiongnu, he issued a military order. If he failed to win, why... the old minister was confused and why did he forget it?"
Damn it, how could you forget such an important thing?
"Father, I have indeed issued a military order and told you that if the Xiongnu expedition fails, I am willing to go to the Xiongnu and serve as a hostage to make peace with them!"
Liu Qi didn't care. In his opinion, Yang Wenyuan was helping him by saying this.
As long as the military power is still in hand, there will be no problem.
If this point is gone, there will be no reliance.
Moreover, as long as he defeated the Huns, he would be considered to have made a great contribution to Daqing. At this point, the position of the prince would be more stable.
Emperor Qing frowned slightly.
If Liu Qi is allowed to lead the army on an expedition at this time, and he really loses, then there will be no room for relaxation.
Son, are you really so confident? You must know that soldiers are fierce. This is not just a casual talk.
After thinking about it, he decided to ask Liu Qi what his attitude was. If he hesitated at all, he would let General Han lead his troops to the battle this time.
"Liu Qi, let me ask you again? Do you really want to lead an expedition against the Huns? You have to think clearly. There is no joke in the army. If you lose this expedition, I have to ask you. Sinful.”
To his surprise, Liu Qi didn't even hesitate at all.
"Father, my son has made up his mind. This time he will definitely lead our iron army to expedition against the Xiongnu and show off the power of Daqing!"
"If we fail to win, I am willing to be punished!"
The first voice of praise came from Yang Wenyuan's mouth.
"Okay, Your Highness is brave!"
"I dare to ask, when does Your Highness plan to go to war? How long does it take to win this battle?"
