"This time the Xiongnu invades, it is a very important matter. Daqing must be on guard against it. Therefore, after much thought, I have sent Prince Su Liu Yu as the supervisor of the army. Although the reinforcements will go to the north together, may the ministers have any objections? ?”
Hearing these words, Prince Su's face couldn't help but twitch.
Before the court meeting, Emperor Qing told him that he hoped he would agree to lead the army to support Liu Qi.
But he didn't expect that the identity given to him was that of a supervisor.
Prince Su sighed secretly in his heart. The emperor said he wanted to rely on himself, but in fact, he still didn't trust himself enough.
The ministers did not rush to answer the emperor's question, but first focused on Yang Wenyuan.
Emperor Qing knew that these people were waiting for Yang Wenyuan to express his position before they knew what to say next.
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Yang Wenyuan put his hands on his chest and slowly took a step forward.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Prince Su, as a veteran of our dynasty, had gone through hundreds of battles with the late emperor. His abilities were outstanding and his reputation was resounding among all the countries. If the Xiongnu knew that the veteran Prince Su was personally taking action, they would definitely be frightened by the news, and I am afraid they would all be able to Achieve the effect of retreating without a fight!”
As soon as Yang Wenyuan spoke this way, other ministers immediately agreed.
"What Mr. Yang said is true. Prince Su had outstanding military exploits in his early years. Even General Yue praised his power. If Prince Su can participate in the support, he will definitely make the Xiongnu invincible!"
Immediately afterwards, ministers one after another began to brag about Prince Su's abilities, and it even made people feel that if Prince Su did not go there, the battle would not be fought.
Emperor Qing was a little surprised, but he also knew that Yang Wenyuan agreed to his proposal so decisively, and there must be something to say later.
as expected.
"Your Majesty, since Prince Su is the supervisor of the army, I wonder who your Majesty wants to appoint to lead the army?"
Emperor Qing answered very simply.
"I think it would be better if General Gunan from Yizhou leads the troops."
"In the early years, General Gunan once led a large army to fight against the Liang Kingdom. He defeated the Liang Kingdom's nearly 200,000 troops with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Everyone knows about his capabilities. "
"Furthermore, Yizhou is very close to the northern border, and there are 100,000 troops and horses there. Adding the troops and horses from other places, 200,000 can still be obtained."
At this time, an official from the Ministry of War stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, the war between the Ming Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom is not yet completely over. If something changes, our Yizhou soldiers and horses will be used as support. At this time, we will use..."
Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Qing raised his hand.
"Hey, the situation is urgent. Of course we have to prioritize. After all, there are still nearly a hundred thousand soldiers guarding Younang Pass, and there is also General Feng Ying. Even if the situation changes, it will be impossible to break into it in a short time. I’m from Daqing.”
"On the other hand, if the northern border is lost, wouldn't Daqing be in danger?"
After hearing what Emperor Qing said, the minister clasped his hands and retreated angrily.
"What the Emperor said is true."
Emperor Qing glanced at him, then glanced at the ministers.
At this time, Yang Wenyuan coughed twice, saluted Emperor Qing and spoke.
"Your Majesty, General Gubo is indeed extremely brave and has outstanding military achievements. If he comes to lead the army, there will be no problem."
"General Gu Bo was already seventy-two years old at that time, and he was suffering from an old illness. This time he led the army and traveled a long distance to fight with the Xiongnu army. I was afraid that General Gu would not be able to hold on for a long time. If the Xiongnu and I celebrate for a long time, , I’m afraid General Gubo won’t be able to hold on.”
"Furthermore, I'm sorry for being rude, but Prince Su is also a veteran general. Adding another veteran general to the mix may make other countries think to themselves, could it be that we, Daqing, don't have any young generals?"
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Then who will be the prime minister?"
"Your Majesty, I think General Yu Pengji, who is also from Yizhou, can take on this important task."
Emperor Qing was a little confused and muttered.
"General Yu?"
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that when you first came to Dabao, there was a conflict between Manchu and Daqing. General Yu Pengji only brought less than 10,000 soldiers, but he defeated the 50,000 Manchu soldiers and horses. We retreated in panic, and now we no longer dare to have any conflict with Daqing."
"In addition, General Yu Pengji also went to the battlefield with General Gu Bo in his early years, and his combat experience can be said to be quite rich. Moreover, General Yu is only in his forties now, and he is still in his prime. Even if we have to fight with the Xiongnu for a long time, we will definitely not be afraid!"
After saying this, the figure of General Yu finally reappeared in Emperor Qing's mind.
There is certainly something unusual about this man.
He is not tall, he dresses in a different way, and when he speaks and acts, he always has a kind of martial arts atmosphere.
But I have to admit that this guy does have some abilities. He never puts his life in a fight. The enemy country is known as a "mad dog".
Just as Emperor Qing was thinking about it, a group of ministers stood up.
"I agree with Master Yang's proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Not only the civil servants, but also the military generals, many people also followed suit.
Emperor Qing thought about it again and again.
"Okay, then according to Master Yang's advice, the troops supporting the northern border this time will be led by General Yu..."
After all the ministers retired, only Emperor Qing, Prince Su, and Laifu were left in the hall.
"Uncle Emperor, I'm begging you this time!"
"Fortunately, I have the emperor's trust. I will definitely live up to my trust!"
After saying that, Emperor Qing suddenly stood up, walked to Prince Su sincerely, and grabbed his hands.
"My uncle is old, and I still feel uneasy about letting him go on an expedition! During this trip, I don't want to defeat the Huns, I just want to prevent the aberration from spreading."
"The reason why I didn't let the emperor's uncle lead the troops personally is because at present, the court cannot do without the emperor's uncle's support. There will be many major events in the future that must rely on the emperor's uncle. If there is anything wrong with the emperor's uncle, it must be My loss to Daqing, can your uncle understand my feelings?"
Prince Su listened, but he understood in his heart that Emperor Qing said this not because he was worried about him, but just for a far-fetched reason.
The most important point is that only if the gaffe does not escalate, can the crown prince Liu Qi be saved! !
Although Prince Su had some complaints in his heart, on the surface, he still showed a calm look.
No matter what, he went to save the prince. As for whether he could lead the army, it didn't matter.
The emperor didn't trust him, which was what he expected.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if the old minister is shattered to pieces, he will definitely keep his status as the prince and let him return to the court safely!!"
.....
Poria Palace.
Yang Mi's face was both surprised and sad.
"Zhang Dehai, is the method you mentioned feasible?"
