King Zhenbei had criticized the imperial court in the past, not to mention that the imperial court was at its weakest now.
Will he really listen to the announcement and mobilize troops to support Gandu?
This issue is undoubtedly a question mark.
No one is sure, and no one dares to put their wealth and life on the King of Zhenbei's thoughts.
Therefore, the people's hearts, which have just been stabilized, are about to be shaken again.
When Wei Qing saw this, he glared hard at the person who had just spoken.
He said helplessly: "Everyone, don't think too much, King Zhenbei will definitely come!"
"Because Princess Anyang is still in Qiandu!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which stunned all the officials in the Qiande Hall.
The hesitation and hesitation in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Yes, how could they forget that Princess Anyang is also in the capital!
If Qian's capital city is destroyed, not only will they not be able to survive, but the only daughter of the King of Zhenbei will not be able to survive either!
And everyone in Daqian didn't know that Princess Anyang was the favorite of King Zhenbei.
When Emperor Renxuan and the court wanted to call Princess Anyang into Qiandu as a hostage, King Zhenbei almost rebelled because of this.
Now, how could it be possible to sit back and watch Princess Anyang being killed?
Therefore, King Zhenbei will definitely come!
Wei Qing was slightly relieved when he saw this.
People's hearts are united again!
The huge Daqian court wanted to use a woman as a hostage in exchange for the rescue of King Zhenbei.
It’s really a huge shame to tell anyone!
He was originally a scholar and took his reputation very seriously.
But things have come to this, and there is really no other way.
Compared with the country of Daqian, one's own reputation is really nothing.
"But even if King Zhenbei comes to help."
"We don't have any generals to command the city guards!"
Another civil servant raised objections.
But this time, Wei Qing was not angry, but rather happy.
Because this time, the feedback given to him by the officials was no longer passive and fearful. Instead, he began to actively think about how to defend. This is undoubtedly a huge change in mentality!
Wei Qing lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said: "Aren't there several military attachés present? Why did your Excellency say this?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the officials in the Qiande Hall instantly focused on several military attachés.
The leading military attache who stayed behind now was named Zhao Hao. He was in his forties and was in his prime.
But he was kept by Emperor Tianshun, why?
Just because of his ability is really not enough.
His martial arts skills can only reach the peak of Zhenqi, and his ability to lead troops in battle is only average. He can command a battle group of more than 10,000 people at most.
No matter how much it is, it will be powerless.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He shook his head and said, "I, I can only command ten thousand people. I'm afraid I won't be able to command the remaining twenty thousand people."
"Besides, Qiandu has four walls, and overall planning is a difficult problem. I, I am responsible for one wall at most."
When Wei Qing heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Good guy, you only have to defend one city wall, but you dare to ask for 10,000 soldiers.
Where did you get this face?
Putting Da Gan's safety in the hands of such a person, not to mention anyone else, even Wei Qing himself felt a little unsure.
No, we still have to find a general who is good at conquering and preferably has extensive experience in defending cities to lead these 30,000 troops.
After all, there are only these 30,000 people in the entire cadre now. Good steel must be used on good blades, and the life of any soldier must not be wasted!
But when he looked around, he saw mostly civil servants.
Military attachés...all the military attachés who could fight were called away by Emperor Tianshun.
So much so that such a defeat consumed countless general resources.
Another part of the general resources is firmly in the hands of King Zhenbei. It seems that there is really no one available in Qiandu now.
People like Zhao Hao can be considered taller among the short ones!
what to do?
Wei Qing was thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking of a person who had always been subconsciously ignored by civil and military officials!
He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go to Feng Chezi Hou's Mansion! Invite Mr. Huo to come and attend the meeting together!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the courtiers lit up again.
yes! And here’s the general’s son!
How could they forget!
No one will deny Huo Qiji's military talent. Apart from anything else, his strong record as the champion makes him more important in the hearts of the officials than Zhao Hao, who is unreliable!
It's just that Huo Qiji, like Huo Kuanglan, was suffering from lung disease and looked like he would die soon.
In such a state, even riding a horse is difficult, let alone going into battle to kill the enemy.
But it’s different now. I don’t know what Feng Che Zihou did. The lung disease that made famous doctors from all over the world sigh with regret, actually cured himself!
Now, it is natural for him to direct the defensive battle of Qiandu.
Even Zhao Hao himself breathed a sigh of relief, just let Huo Qiji go.
If such a big thing falls on him, if he fails to deal with it properly and allows Beiyan City to attack Qiandu, then he will be the eternal sinner of Daqian!
This is good now. Even if the city is destroyed, it has little to do with him. If the people in the world want to blame, they will only blame Huo Qiji.
After completing these two things, Wei Qing turned his attention to Yang Huai and began to think deeply.
Yang Huai seemed to feel Wei Qing's gaze, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Prime Minister Wei?"
Hearing this, Wei Qing nodded: "Since Taifu Yang asked, then Wei Qing will speak frankly."
"All aristocratic families and high-ranking households have soldiers."
"Now our Dagang garrison strength is only 30,000. Facing the 300,000 incoming troops from Beiyan, there is a huge difference in strength. We are really stretched in terms of military strength."
"I wonder if you are willing to let the soldiers from the clan also participate in the battle?"
As soon as Wei Qing finished speaking, the officials of the family faction turned their attention to Yang Huai and Duan Qingyan.
These two people, one is the current Taifu and the other is the Imperial Censor, are the absolute core of the entire aristocratic family faction.
When Yang Huai heard this, he sighed and did not refuse. Instead, he nodded and said: "The national crisis is imminent. If the city is destroyed, we will naturally not be able to leave."
"They are just government soldiers. If Prime Minister Wei wants them, just use them."
Wei Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
In fact, there was something he didn't say. His attitude of killing anyone who dared to abandon the city just now was just for Yang Huai to see.
Why?
Because the aristocratic family values profits!
If they are allowed to escape, they will definitely leave!
Don't leave any trace of kindness behind!
But if they know that leaving is impossible, then they will straighten their posture and contribute to the defense of the city.
"One more thing. An army of 30,000 will have a lot of food expenses."
"When your Majesty went on an expedition, he took away all the food and grass in the treasury, leaving only a little reserve food and grass. Now it is used to supply 30,000 people, which is obviously insufficient."
"I wonder if Mrs. Yang can donate some food?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many officials became strange.
I think back then, the aristocratic factions headed by Yang Huai dared to directly break up with Emperor Renxuan just because of some food.
Even if you, Wei Qing, are the prime minister at the head of a hundred officials, you won't have more dignity than Emperor Renxuan, right?
How dare you say this?
