Chapter 484: Dilemma

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the princess of Nanchu has only been married to us not long ago, and her prince has just left for Beijing half a month ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIf the king of Chu really had such impatient ambitions, he would not have agreed to make peace in the first place. Now that everything is not finished, dare to hurt people with such a secret arrow in the back, is it a little too hasty?"

"Your Majesty, no matter whether they are behind the Southern Chu or the Western Jin Dynasty, since General Chen is now in a critical situation and the war is urgent, we must immediately send additional reinforcements. I also ask Your Majesty to give an order as soon as possible and send reinforcements to help them, in case those unruly vagrants continue to do evil, and they thought we were afraid of him!"

"Lord Liu, leading troops to fight is the most important thing in tactics and military deployment, and it is not possible to win with great momentum. Now that those northwestern tribes are prepared, we must think long-term in order to turn the tide of the war and be invincible. ā€

"Now that the crisis is at hand, how can there be extra time to think about it in the long run? Of course, it is to send troops to solve the urgent needs of the moment first, and let the Akabane Army get out of trouble, and then talk about ......"

As soon as the speculation about "Nanchu" came out, the ministers began to express their opinions again with their spittle, their faces red.

Listening to their chattering opinions, Emperor Zhou retracted his expression and took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then opened his eyes to interrupt the argument of these ministers.

"Okay, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, what do you mean by me?" It's just that now General Chen is in the northwest, and there are not many available generals left in the court, and you have to take into account the security ...... the capital and the surrounding areas."

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead 100,000 elite soldiers to go to reinforcements immediately, not to drive those northwest barbarians back to their lair, bow down to my Great Zhou, raise the prestige of my Great Zhou, and the minister will never return to the court!"

It was the commander of the city defense battalion who spoke, and Lin Kang, the general of the right guard who was unwilling to succumb to Chen Fu, was also the pillar of the prince's military power in the court.

Originally, Gao Heng thought that the reason why he was so active this time was that he wanted to seize the war achievements when the war in the northwest was in crisis, so as to gain prestige at the border pass and the DPRK, so as to strike at Chen Fu, who had always been higher than him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Kang stood up, he had been standing at the head of the ministers, and Cheng Yan, who was silent, turned his eyes slightly, and then bowed down and walked out.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although General Lin is brave and good at fighting, but as Your Majesty said, the safety of the palace and the capital should not be taken lightly, General Lin, as the commander of the city defense battalion, shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of His Majesty and the people of the capital.

"Hmm... What Cheng Aiqing said is true, and I do have such concerns. Emperor Zhou nodded thoughtfully, "Then I don't know if there is a more suitable candidate in Cheng Aiqing's heart?"

Hearing what Emperor Zhou said, Cheng Yan's eyelashes moved slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at Gao Heng behind him with the corner of his eye.

Although it was just a subtle move that was not easy to be noticed, it made Gao Heng's eyes darken, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

He and Cheng Yan have not crossed paths for a long time, and they have always been safe with each other these days, but Gao Heng has never relaxed his defense against this person.

"As the so-called rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, even if he is not a military general, as long as he has the courage and courage to cross the battlefield, he can also go into battle for my Great Zhou to kill the enemy and defend the country. Therefore, the minister thought that His Royal Highness King Yan was the most suitable candidate. ā€

As Gao Heng expected, Cheng Yan mentioned that he deliberately accentuated his tone at all times, and his words were impartial to himself.

For a while, Gao Heng only felt that countless eyes around him were all gathered on him, making him tense his face, but he couldn't refute it.

"Heng'er, you say?"

Emperor Zhou's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes fell on Gao Heng, as if he was thinking about something, and slowly tightened his pupils.

"His Royal Highness King Yan has the world in mind, has both ability and political integrity, and is a close friend of General Chen. At that time, the Western Jin Dynasty became famous in the first war, and it was powerful in all directions, and it has always been quite prestigious in the army. The minister believed that with the world-class talent of His Royal Highness King Yan, he would be able to expel the barbarians and return triumphantly. ā€

"Your Highness, what Lord Cheng said is extremely true. The younger brother also thought that Heng'er was extremely intelligent, had excellent martial arts, and had experience in leading troops to fight, so he was indeed the most suitable candidate inside and outside the government. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

After the King of Qi expressed his opinion, other ministers in the court who depended on Cheng Yan also stepped forward to echo the voice, and everyone seemed to have premeditated, and they must push Gao Heng to the battlefield where they met each other.

Although he could feel the ill-will revealed by Cheng Yan and King Qi's every move, he also knew that this was likely to be an unknown trap.

But when he thought that the country was in danger now, Chen Fuzheng, who had saved him on the front line of life and death, was in danger, but Gao Heng couldn't persuade himself to abandon the righteousness of his family and country, so he just sat idly by.

Even if Cheng Yan and this imperial uncle really have bad intentions, but fortunately, he still has cronies in the army, and this war situation is urgent, and it is indeed true.

"Heng'er, what do you think? Are you willing to lead the army to reinforce General Chen according to the opinion of the ministers?"

Emperor Zhou stretched his eyebrows, looking at Gao Heng's eyes, there was a layer of mist floating in his eyes, although it quickly dissipated, it still made people feel unfathomable.

Even with an inquiring tone, in the face of such a ready-to-go situation, Gao Heng can't tolerate refusal at all.

If he is alone at this moment, without any worries, without the fetters of his mother and wife, even if he knows that there is a lot of danger and life and death are unpredictable, he is willing to risk his life and put a knife in the ribs for the peace of his family and country and the kindness of his friends.

However, when he entered the Western Jin Dynasty as a hostage, he was separated from Concubine Hui's mother and son for several years, and this matter has always been an indelible pain in Concubine Hui's heart.

Now that I have left the capital and gone to the northwest, it has been a few months to say the least, in addition to not wanting to be separated from Cheng Jinzhi and Concubine Hui, I don't want them to be afraid of their own safety and have trouble sleeping.

"Heng'er?

Seeing that Gao Heng was thinking about something, Emperor Zhou called out again, which made him suddenly come back to his senses.

Recalling what Cheng Jin Zhi said to himself before going out, he couldn't help but feel ups and downs, and after taking a deep breath to stabilize a little, he finally made up his mind with a resolute expression.

"Yes, the sons are willing to lead the troops to the battle, and they will live up to the trust of their father and the people of the Great Zhou. ā€

"Okay! Among these princes, you are indeed the most able to share my worries. ā€

Seeing that Gao Heng readily agreed, Emperor Zhou suddenly became happy, and his originally gloomy eyes became much brighter.

"I know you're worried about your mother and the Golden Branch. In this way, I will also go to comfort your mother, and I will give you another day to say goodbye to them, so that they don't have to worry. You are the prince of my Great Zhou, no matter what, you must remember to put your own safety first. Now that the situation is urgent, it is necessary to depart immediately in two days' time. ā€

Emperor Zhou put away his stern expression, said softly, then stood up and walked to Gao Heng's side, raised his hand over his shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"I'm waiting for the good news of your class's return to the court. ā€
