"Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that it is still necessary to fight a dozen, if there is no war, agree to make peace, once the wolf clan tastes the sweetness, what should I do!"

"Yes, the old minister thinks it's not appropriate, you can make peace today, but tomorrow this barbarian wolf clan is proposing to make peace? What should we do if we even make some ridiculous and excessive demands. ”

"But if it starts a war, it's okay to say if you win, but what if after defeat, the other party will continue to open his mouth in addition to making peace?"

The Queen Mother said:

"What else do the ministers think?"

Most of the ministers were opposed, but after the Queen Mother asked, a small number of generals also stood up in support -

"Queen Mother, whether it is friendly or not, it is not good for us, so for us, there is only one word 'drag', only if it is delayed for enough time, the other party is impatient, and has suffered a certain loss, and even the contradictions within the wolf clan have been generated or intensified, and then we can take advantage of it. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, if we easily agree to the request of the new king of the barbarian wolf clan, wouldn't we be building momentum for this thief, making it easier for the other party to control their tribe, and even bringing misunderstanding among several small countries around us. ”

The Queen Mother's face looked a little better and said:

"Well, in this case, the mourning family decided to fight first, if they win, everything is easy to say, if they lose, the mourning family will explain to the princess, let her go to the wolf clan and ...... with her."

Seeing the Queen Mother leaving, the few generals who advocated fighting left with great strength, and the remaining group of Wenchen looked very embarrassed-

"Hmph! I thought it was so easy to go to war, and I saw who would be willing to go tomorrow morning. ”

"That is, now they are talking one by one, and when they look at me tomorrow morning, no one will want to fight the wolf clan at all. ”

The next morning!

The ministers began to have a headache over who to send to the border to fight the wolf clan.

Although the Queen Mother set the tone last night, she has to fight with the wolf clan first.

It's just that last night, even the Empress Dowager felt that it was ridiculous to send Qin Xiu to lead the troops, so she didn't decide who would lead the troops on the spot.

The ministers did not have much confidence in going to the border to fight the barbarian wolf clan, especially the Heqin faction led by the civil officials, who were even more high, hoping to see the generals who went to fight make a big fool of themselves.

And the fighting faction led by the generals is also in chaos, both those who do not want to fight, and those who are eager to fight, and it is difficult to settle at the last time.

Whether it is the great Sima Wang Ba who has been in power in the court, or the emperor who attaches great importance to it because of the war between the two countries, it is rare to appear on the throne, and he feels helpless.

Fortunately, General Ai finally stood up and said:

"Emperor Qi, Weichen thinks that this war is related to the war between the two countries, why not let all the generals who are willing to lead the troops to fight each lead the army to conduct a drill, so that I can have a number in my heart. ”

"Yes, this method is also in favor of ......"

When the ministers heard this, this method was good, not only should they voluntarily lead the troops, so that their enthusiasm should always be higher, but they should also lead each other's subordinates to fight a drill, so that at least the strength will not be inferior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the opinion of the old ministers, let all the generals above the marquis of ten thousand households come to sign up for the exercise?"

"Yes, this engagement is a tentative engagement between the two countries, and it is best not to hurt the bones, and it is best to suppress the general who leads the troops to the brigadier general. ”

General Ai said:

You must know that although the Marquis of Wanhu is not bad at fighting, it would be more appropriate if there were new generals such as Yingqian General to join? ”

"In my opinion, it may not be appropriate, you must know that this war between the two countries, although it is far away at the border, if there is no army of tens of thousands of people, how can you defeat the invading army of the barbarian wolf clan?"

"I'm afraid you will misunderstand this, although the battalion commander led thousands of soldiers, if he went to the border pass, he could not be promoted to the high position of the marquis of ten thousand households. ”

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, how can you casually promote a thousand generals to become the marquis of ten thousand households, this matter is absolutely impossible. ”

General Ai said:

"How is this inappropriate, if there is a battalion commander leading a thousand people, he will kill tens of thousands of horses and horses of ten thousand households, and such a battalion commander can't be promoted to the marquis of ten thousand households?

"How is it possible, tens of thousands of people can still defeat an army of thousands of people, isn't it a joke?"

General Ai said:

"What's impossible about this, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers are not many but fine, if tens of thousands of thousands of households can't even beat the battalion of 1,000 people, how can you lead the troops to the border with face?"

"This ......"

Suddenly, the Jinluan Hall was silent for a while, and the birds became silent.

The emperor was in a state of interest:

"Well, this is also true, since all the secretaries think that this matter can be solved in this way, they will do it according to what everyone has agreed, and those who are willing to lead the troops at noon today will start to lead the troops to practice, and I will personally go to watch the battle. ”

At the registration office for the leading exercise, many soldiers are pointing -

"How old is that Qin Xiu, who is 15 or 6 years old, and actually wants to lead the troops to the border pass?"

"But isn't it? Even if people want to go, they are ten thousand household marquis, brigadier generals, at least they can lead tens of thousands of troops, and he, a thousand people, went to the border pass, what is the use of the war situation?"

"You don't know this, do you! Once you lead the troops to the border pass, no matter who it is, at least they will be promoted to the marquis of ten thousand households, with an army of tens of thousands of people. ”

"I see, it seems that this Qin Xiu is a relational household, gilded? just to facilitate his promotion. Even if he was lucky enough to go, if he went to the border and was finally defeated, wouldn't he be implicated and would still be able to keep his official position? And how could he stand out among so many generals?"

"There's no way, the princess named him to go to the border, what can you do?"

Soon someone said—

"There is a notice above, all the generals who signed up to go to the border pass immediately led 500 soldiers to the martial arts training ground, and each drew lots to select opponents. ”

"Okay!"

Soon, all the generals above the battalion commander who had signed up to fight at the border pass received the notice from the registration office one by one.

Due to the size of the martial arts training venue and the large number of participants, the imperial court finally decided to arrange a scale of 500 people to decide the winner.

The number of people is too small to show strength, but if there are too many, I am afraid it is not very safe, in short, the number of people is set at a group of five hundred.

The victor was promoted to the general manager of the battalion, and formed an army of 10,000 to go to the border pass to fight the wolf clan, hoping to drive the other side out of the border pass, prevent the other party from constantly harassing the other side, and avoid endangering the soldiers and civilians at the border pass.
