Although Li Xuanji had a fever and wanted to conquer the country personally, he was not as ungrateful as Zhu Qizhen, an overseas student from Wala.
Under the persuasion of Yan Song and his ministers, Li Xuanji also realized the danger of his personal expedition.
Li Xuanji figured it out, instead of risking his life to go to the front line, he might as well take a Tiangang Buyuan Pill in the palace and then go to the sky with his beloved concubine.
After making up his mind, Li Xuanji immediately announced: "Order Fenwu General Li Feiyu to lead Bingzhou's 150,000 soldiers to immediately attack the Xiongnu army."
"In addition, Zhou Yi, the prefect of Yongzhou, was appointed as General Tiance, and he led 50,000 Yongzhou soldiers and General Fenwu to jointly attack the Xiongnu. We must complete our efforts in one battle."
In order to prevent the Dog Emperor from micro-managing the rear, Wang Dachui hurriedly stepped forward to request an order: "The military situation on the front line is urgent. Please give me the right to act expediently, Your Majesty the Godfather."
Hearing a fierce general like Wang Dachui call him godfather, Li Xuanji was full of confidence in wiping out the Xiongnu army and capturing the Xiongnu Chanyu alive.
"Okay, General Fenwu, I will give you the right to do things conveniently!"
"Don't let me down in this battle!"
After hearing this, Wang Dachui was delighted and hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Later, Emperor Li Xuanji announced that he would hand over the command of the Xiongnu army to Tiance General Zhou Yi.
The reason is also very high-sounding. It is said that Zhouyi defeated hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces with only a few thousand people in the Fire Ox Formation. This shows that he has the talent of a general, so the entire army was commanded by him.
Just now he gave General Fenwu the power to act expediently, and the next second he named Zhou Yi, the prefect of Yongzhou, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and gave him the ability to kill first and then report the imperial power.
In fact, this is Li Xuanji's imperial mentality. He wanted to use Zhou Yi to control Li Feiyu, but he also wanted Li Feiyu to control Zhou Yi.
But what Li Xuanji never considered was that the relationship between Zhou Yi and "Li Feiyu" was as good as the same person.
In fact, they are indeed the same person!
Wang Dachui left the palace after receiving the decree, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd. With the false concern of Yan Song and his son, he pretended to be reluctant to leave and headed towards Bingzhou.
Wang Dachui originally thought about how to trick Bingzhou's 150,000 troops into Yongzhou, but who would have thought that after Bingzhou, Wang Dachui would be disappointed.
Damn it, there is no 150,000 troops in Bingzhou. All the officers and soldiers in Bingzhou do not exceed 50,000 troops.
Good guy, Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui recruited 150,000 troops and horses in Yongzhou, but claimed to the court that they only recruited 50,000 troops. However, the actions of the Bingzhou prefect and the Bingzhou military envoy were completely opposite.
They claimed to the court that they had recruited 150,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact they only had the normal rations for 50,000 soldiers and horses. The other 100,000 soldiers and horses had all their free wages stolen by Yao Shugen, the prefect of Bingzhou, and Gong Huajian, the envoy of Bingzhou soldiers and horses. Go in your pocket.
What's even more annoying is that these 50,000 soldiers are so skinny that they can't find any meat on their bodies. They are also equipped with shabby equipment. The swords and guns were rusty, and the armor was stripped of its threads.
Although when they go into battle to kill the enemy, they are likely to use a tetanus sword technique, but after that, these soldiers will probably die on the battlefield.
At first, Wang Dachui insulted the fifth army camp as they were just chickens and dogs. Now looking back at the Bingzhou soldiers, they were all worse than chickens and dogs.
Although Wang Dachui considered himself powerful, he really did not have the confidence to lead such a large number of soldiers north to fight against the Huns.
Wang Dachui became extremely angry when he thought that he had been tricked like this by the Taishi of Bingzhou and Aneng, the military commander of Bingzhou.
"What a bastard! Taking such a number of soldiers on my back to fight against the Huns is not asking for death! I will use you as my backer before I die!"
Thinking of this, Wang Dachui used his own power to kill the prefect of Bingzhou and the military envoy of Bingzhou.
While Wang Dachui reported the matter to the cheap emperor Li Xuanji, he also sent people to hurry up and inform Zhouyi of the situation.
In fact, a week before Zhou Yi received the information from Wang Dachui, he had received a request for help from Jiang Zichuan, the governor of Youzhou. At the same time, there was also an imperial edict for Zhou Yi to be named General Tiance and Marshal Pingnu.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhou Yi was quite satisfied with his title of general.
"Good guy, this Emperor Li Xuanji actually named me General Tiance. Does he want me to help him do something in Xuanwu Sect?"
Just when Zhou Yi was secretly happy, Lin Zhenyuan interrupted Zhou Yi's secret joy.
"Please also ask the commander to gather troops and horses as soon as possible to help Bingzhou!"
"Oh? General Lin is so anxious this time. Does he have something to do with Jiang Zichuan, the governor of Youzhou?"
Lin Zhenyuan shook his head and denied the relationship between the two.
It turned out that Jiang Zichuan and Lin Zhenyuan were officials of the same age group. One was a civil servant and the other was a military general. Although they did not have much friendship, they had heard rumors about each other.
Lin Zhenyuan knew that Jiang Zichuan was an upright and honest official, who was strict and honest in his administration and did not commit any crimes against the people. If it were lost to the Huns, it would be a great loss for the people of Chen State.
Moreover, Lin Zhenyuan also wanted to help Zhou Yi pay attention to various talents. Lin Zhengyuan felt that if these people could work under Zhou Yi, they would definitely play a greater role.
"General Lin, we must send troops, but we can't rush it!"
Lin Zhenyuan asked hesitantly: "Does the commander have other plans?"
Zhou Yi nodded and said: "Although I have 150,000 people in Yongzhou, I have only reported 50,000 soldiers to the court, so naturally my 150,000 soldiers cannot go out in full force!"
"What do you mean, Marshal?"
"I want to lead an army of 50,000 in accordance with the imperial edict to help Youzhou. Then I will join forces with Wang Dachui's 150,000 Bingzhou Army to attack the Huns!"
"As for General Lin, I would like to ask you to lead 50,000 cavalry north to the hinterland of the Huns, plow the courts and sweep the caves, and wipe out the Xiongnu lair."
When Lin Zhenyuan and the two soldiers beside him heard this plan, they gasped in excitement.
After fighting against the Huns for so many years, they have been passively defensive and have never penetrated into the hinterland of the Huns. This kind of situation probably only happened to old General Lin Weiwu when he was young.
Now, Marshal Zhou Yi was so courageous that he dared to hand over 50,000 soldiers and horses into Lin Zhenyuan's hands, letting them go straight into the hinterland of the Huns and clear their holes.
Lin Zhenyuan, who was full of excitement, really felt like he had finally met his master after wandering for half his life.
Damn it all for eating Chen Lu and being loyal!
Lin Zhengyuan knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yi: "It is my great fortune that Lin, a defeated general, has the trust of the commander-in-chief."
"From today onwards, Lin is willing to serve the commander-in-chief and die for the rest of his life! If he violates this oath, he will be abandoned by both heaven and man!"
