"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for their courage to admonish, the lord of the wasteland is worried about the country and the people, and loves the people like a son, it is indeed commendable, and we also admire Meng Haoqi's courage and noble character, but ...... There were waves in the south, civil strife continued, and Zhao Shanhe was eyeing him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, except for the Kyushu around the imperial capital, they are all poor places, such as Huozhou, Shazhou, Yanzhou, etc., which are even more inextricable places, without a solid foundation, in terms of the army, there are only two or three hundred thousand horses in the southern army, plus 50,000 horses per week in other ninety states, but only millions of soldiers, and more than 10 million soldiers in front of the enemy's formation, and there is a steady stream of military horses in the rear to move towards the wasteland, if you take the initiative to go to reinforcements, the country is empty, the Eastern Soil Tang Dynasty, Western Xia, Zhao Guo and others will definitely take advantage of the situation, which is not the best policy.

Now when Taoguang is in obscurity, and the southern country is stable, prosperous and strong in the future, and the army is strong, it is the best policy to send troops to recover the lost territory.

And...... Moreover, the barren state is barren, there are no resources to speak of, and the loss of it will not affect the foundation of the southern country! I hope Your Majesty thinks twice! ”

Xia Jiuyou is an old man in his old age, because he has cultivated to the peak realm of the Dao body, he is not so old, and from the overall appearance, he looks like a young man who is not confused.

He is upright, well-known for seeking truth from facts, and never succumbs because of power, so he was sent to prison by Zhao Shanhe before to be in black prison.

When he said this, Meng Haoqi's eyes were blazing, and he glanced at him with anger, but he was still unmoved.

The meaning of Xia Jiu's words is to abandon the wasteland.

"What Xia Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but has Xia Aiqing ever heard the truth of cold lips and teeth?" Xiao Xiaoyu praised that if it is judged from the interests of the current situation, it is really not suitable for war, the remnants of the Zhao Party in the south have not yet been cleared, the new emperor has just taken power, the domestic strength is not yet united, and all forces have their own careful thoughts.

Internal and external troubles!

"Cold lips and cold teeth?" Xia Jiuyou racked his brains, and he hadn't heard of this allusion, he used to claim to be full of poetry and books, but now he was a little embarrassed.

What is the allusion to the cold lips and teeth?

"The minister has never heard of it, please give me advice from Your Majesty."

"The barren state is like a lip, and my imperial capital is like a tooth, the lips and teeth depend on each other, so that it can last for a long time, if the lip is dead, the tooth will not be long in life, the barren state is lost, my southern country is unmoved, and the southern barbarians will definitely be more rampant, thinking that my southern country can be bullied, the imperial capital has fallen, and the life will not be long."

Xiao Xiaoyu used the ancient Chinese allusions of the earth to illustrate the important relationship between the barren state and the southern country, which is thought-provoking.

"Cold lips and teeth?!"

Xia Jiuyou read this sentence deeply, he couldn't imagine that a fifteen-year-old boy could actually have such an understanding.

If there is an allusion in ancient history, he must know that since there is no one in the classics, then this truth must have been figured out by His Majesty himself, so that he has been buried by Zhao Shanhe all the time, it is a pity, but fortunately, His Majesty can regain power.

"Yes, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, so I can't let an inch of my southern territory, not an inch can be lost, not only the land, but also the potential! Read! Popularity! ”

Xiao Xiaoyu was sonorous and powerful, and his words were loud and loud, smashing in everyone's hearts,

Xia Jiu thought about a lot of reasons, conflicts of interest, etc., but in the end, they couldn't withstand a cold sentence, so he gave up.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Meng Hao Qidao, he was really afraid that the emperor would be persuaded not to support Huangzhou.

The people of that wasteland will surely be ruined and reduced to slavery, and they will never turn over from generation to generation!

"The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, even if my southern country is willing to send troops, but the troops are far from enough, not only can I not recover the lost territory, expel the southern barbarians, and maybe the whole army will be wiped out, and the southern country will really have no name."

Xia Jiuyou spoke again, he was thinking, if he sent troops, how much could he do? It is definitely impossible to pour out of the nest, at most more than one million can be dispatched, and no matter how much the southern country has, there will be chaos.

More than one million, in the face of tens of millions of Southern Barbarian soldiers, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? Not enough to plug the gaps.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is difficult for the southern army to fight at the moment." Zhang Jiuling also spoke, they are not afraid of a battle, but if they go to die, they must not.

That's pointless, and undoubtedly self-defeating!

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan for Your Majesty's reference." Fu Jiugong thought about it and stepped forward to salute.

"What's the plan?" Xiao Xiaoyu had actually thought of a strategy for insufficient military strength, but he still wanted to hear what the ministers had to say.

"If you let each family in the world send a certain number of soldiers, the number of this army may be increased by two million, but these two million are obviously not too much, they can't resist the Southern Barbarian army, and those soldiers are pampered on weekdays, and their combat power will also be affected to a certain extent."

"This is a kind of strategy, the number of heads is okay, but the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and the enthusiasm is also very poor, because few people will give up their clothes and food to join the army, and live a life that may not see the sun tomorrow, such soldiers, on the battlefield, it is common to lose without a fight." Xia Jiuyou said.

"Why don't you increase the welfare of the army and forcibly recruit male soldiers from the people in the empire?" A minister spoke.

"You can hire some troops from the mercenary headquarters, but the level of loyalty is not as good as that of my imperial army." Everyone spoke enthusiastically and offered suggestions.

"It's better to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty and Western Xia to see if we can win their help and form an alliance with them, if it succeeds, with them to contain the Nanban from the left and right, my southern country may feel it."

They talked about the source of sergeants, the source of food and grass, the route of the march, the difficulties they would encounter, and so on, so to speak, all of them were difficult, and it was difficult to start at all, and the southern country had no chance of winning this battle.

"The words of the ministers made me pause, this war, no matter how you look at it, my southern country has no chance of winning, no matter how bad it sounds, my southern country may perish because of this war, but then we won't fight? Just because we can't see hope, we have to choose to avoid it? To be a coward? No... It's not like this, kneeling at the feet of Nanban to live, it's better to stand and fight Nanban and die, and die is not a slave of the country, besides, even if we retreat now, Nanban can be at peace with Nanban? Impossible, when they see the current status quo in our southern country, not only will they not converge, but they will become more rampant, they can retreat for a while, but they can't retreat for a lifetime, no matter how difficult it is, I will still choose to fight, and I will fight without hesitation. Xiao Xiaoyu said.

"Nanban dares to stretch out a hand, then we will chop off one of his hands, he dares to stretch out a foot, we will chop off one of his feet, he dares to stretch out his head, so why are we afraid of chopping off his head!"

"Your Majesty!!"

Meng Hao was in tears, now, he was really impressed by the emperor's attitude, such an emperor was the emperor he recognized in his mind, and he was the hope of the southern country.

In fact, he was not the only one who was convinced? The ministers present had already been boiling with blood when they heard his words, even those ministers who were getting old, there was a surge of enthusiasm, as if they had returned to their youth, the years when they were not afraid of storms.

The state lords of the world were also infected by this passage, and many people were excited in their hearts, clenched their fists, and now wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy in person.

Even Xia Jiuyou, who advocated not fighting, was furious, at this moment, even if he died, he wanted to fight!

At this moment, they already knew that this battle was inevitable, even if the road ahead was difficult.
