The news of Zhu Yaoshi's preparation to move the capital reached Xiangyang, and the situation changed, and it was inevitable that there would be another court discussion.

In view of the suddenness of the situation, the place of discussion was in the camp of the new army on the outskirts of the city, and even the middle and lower rank officers of the various armies participated.

"Your Majesty, now is the time to send troops to capture Jinling and regain the lost territory! At present, Pharmacist Zhu is busy moving the capital, and there is an invasion of the Yu Kingdom in the north, which can be described as a godsend! Huang Chuanting was the first to propose to recover Jinling, firstly, to invite merit, and secondly, to take the opportunity to fight for some military power.

"Judging from the situation, it is indeed a rare opportunity, but it may not be a good thing to unite with Yu Guo to defeat Zhu Yaoshi!" Chen Hongyi was the first to object

Liu Mingge also agreed with Chen Hongyi's opinion: "What the general said is very right, let's drive away the wolf with the front foot, and the tiger with the back foot enters the door again, this is not a good idea!" ”

"But with such a good opportunity, if we don't recover Jinling and don't pull our army out to fight, how do we know that we won't be able to defeat the tiger?" Chen Zhengnan naturally wants to fight for the academy faction, and he doesn't need to go to the battlefield anyway.

Liu Jian's heart wanted to send troops, and the prestige and benefits of recovering Jinling were too great: "I know that there will be risks if we die in a war, but if we keep hiding in this southwest land and don't recover the lost territory, we will lose the hearts and minds of the world after a long time!" ”

The emperor set the tone, and the academy faction became more energetic, and they all talked about the correctness of attacking Jinling

Li Xiaofei, who returned to Beijing to report on his work, stood up at this time: "We had an agreement with Pharmacist Zhu at the beginning, but now we are rashly attacking Jinling, isn't it treacherous?" ”

"Could it be that Mrs. Li is really a loyal minister of Zhu Yaoshi, and the matter of fighting for the world still has to talk about faithfulness?" Shen Yuanhao immediately refuted, and directly accused Li Xiaofei of betraying the country

"Li Xiaofei is indeed stupid, but you are no better! Can you think of uniting with Yu to fight Pharmacist Zhu, but Pharmacist Zhu can't think of uniting with Yu to fight us? Moreover, there are often wars and peaces between nations for the sake of profit. If I am Zhu Yaoshi, I will give Liyang Xinli to Yu Guo, let Yu Guo go south to Jinling, and I will lead troops south to Xiangyang, by the way, I can also unite Tuyuhun to send troops to Bashu! Liu Mingge's analysis shocked Liu Jian into a cold sweat

Liu Jian only thought that he would unite these countries to attack Zhu Yaoshi, but he didn't think that if Zhu Yaoshi united with these countries, he could attack him from three sides.

"What Prime Minister Liu Cheng said is just a speculation, and it can't be true!" Judging Yuanhao is hard-mouthed in the end

"That's not necessarily, I'm Zhu Yaoshi's brother-in-law, if Zhu Yaoshi is really willing to let Chang'an out, I'm willing to give Tuyuhun the land of Bashu!" Murong Ling's words were shocking, and everyone looked at him

"Master Murong, it's better for you to return to the country as soon as possible!" Xun Gongtai was furious, and he had long wanted to clean up Murong Ling, an arrogant foreigner

"Haha, I won't leave, what can you do to me?" Murong Ling smiled contemptuously

Liu Jian knew that he couldn't offend Murong Ling, a master, at this time, not to mention that there were hundreds of ghost sheep riding under Murong Ling's command: "Taishi likes to laugh, Mr. Xun doesn't have to be serious!" If the Taishi has different intentions, why bother to accompany me to fight in the north and south for several years! Don't tease Mr. Xun, too, readers love to be true! ”

"The emperor has spoken, and the ministers will not say it, but I hope you can ponder this truth carefully."

Liu Jian then looked at Chen Hongyi, he still hoped that his teacher would support him.

However, Chen Hongyi still insisted that he could not send troops, citing the need to raise future military supplies and grass and train more soldiers.

Shen Yuanhao looked at the officers lined up behind the courtiers: "This matter is too big, the minister thinks that these generals who personally led the troops on the front line should talk about themselves."

Views! After all, they are shedding blood and sacrificing to defend their families and country! ”

After these words, some officers were moved, and no civilian official had ever said such things to these officers who were not ranked.

"I don't dare to say anything, but wherever Your Majesty and the court point out, we will fight wherever we go, and we will never give up!"

"The military is proud of the horse leather shroud! Regain Jinling and return my rivers and mountains! ”

"Regain Jinling! Give me back the rivers and mountains! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

All of a sudden, the emotions of the officers were stirred, and they shouted long live, and they demanded that the east be recaptured and Jinling restored.

Chen Hongyi had actually sensed that the academy was infiltrating his old department, but he pretended not to know, he knew that without the emperor's acquiescence, the people in the academy would not be so bold.

At this time, the surprisingly unanimous call for the Eastern Crusade was not surprising to Chen Hongyi.

Controlling the Chen Jiajun and turning Li Xiaofei into a bare-bones general as usual was undoubtedly the emperor's arrangement.

However, the current Chen Jiajun is still only under the control of Chen Hongyi.

After Chen Hongyi coughed a few times, the officers all quieted down and looked at Chen Hongyi.

"Since His Majesty and the soldiers unanimously support the Eastern Crusade, then the old man will naturally not object! The old man implores to take command of the expedition in person! "Chen Hongyi's rapid transformation surprised everyone

Before everyone could speak, the officers shouted again

"Chen Dashuai is mighty! The Great General is mighty! ”

"General Chen is mighty!"

"I am willing to charge into battle under General Chen to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

Chen Hongyi smiled slyly at Zhen Yuanhao, since you can incite them, then I will teach you what incitement is.

Liu Jian knew that Chen Hongyi would not change so easily, so he asked: "Does Master really want to personally take command and go out to reclaim Jinling?" ”

"Of course, there is no joke in front of you! The old minister is willing to do his best for His Majesty and die! Chen Hongyi said very seriously

Li Xiaofei was about to speak, but was dragged by Murong Ling

The original plan of judging Yuanhao's side to seize military power and arrange his own people to control the Chen family army has been disrupted, and he has no choice but to praise Chen Hongyi at this time.

But then Chen Hongyi's words surprised Shen Yuanhao even more: "I implore Your Majesty to send Chen Zhengnan, Huang Chuanting, and Xun Gongtai to be the old man's deputies and assist the old man in planning the recovery of Jinling!" ”

Chen Hongyi was so old and confused that he even proposed to install people from the academy into the Chen family's army.

But no matter what the situation is, Liu Jian and Shen Yuanhao are very happy

"What General Chen invited, of course, will be played! General Chen still has any needs, but it doesn't hurt to say it! I'll solve it all together! ”

"The old minister implores these three lords to take office today, the old minister has many things to discuss with them, and the military aircraft cannot be delayed!"

Chen Hongyi's request was so eager, Liu Jian felt that there must be something wrong with it, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, Chen Hongyi couldn't play any tricks, so he agreed.

The three of them entered Chen Hongyi's camp full of suspicion, drinking water, eating, and talking very cautiously.

But for five days in a row, Chen Hongyi was defenseless against them, and still relied on them to secretly buy some generals and schools and inquire about the situation of Chen Jiajun.

On the day of the expedition, Liu Jian personally took hundreds of civil and military officials to send him off, and after the army left the city, it kept marching east.

The banner is unfurled, the iron armor is shining, and the 30,000 horses are very majestic on the road.

Chen Hongyi and the three deputy marshals rode horses and followed behind the guards unhurriedly.

Three days after departure, when he walked to a wooden bridge, Chen Hongyi stopped his horse.

The three of them were very surprised: "Why didn't General Chen leave?" ”

"Three adults, this bridge is in disrepair, and once we go up it, it will collapse! So stop! ”

The three of them thought it was ridiculous, the personal guards of a hundred people who had passed in front of them had not collapsed, and now how could four people go up and collapse?

"Old General Chen is old, let's open the way for the old general in front of us!"

As they spoke, the three of them hit the bridge immediately, and Chen Hongyi also urged the war horse to follow behind: "Three of you be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden bridge really collapsed, and Chen Hongyi and them fell into the river with people and horses.

Fortunately, the soldiers who followed them arrived and rescued the four of them.

When Chen Hongyi was rescued, he closed his teeth and was unconscious, and the remaining three deputy marshals panicked.

The three of them decided to send someone to escort Chen Hongyi back to Xiangyang for treatment, but the generals and colonels in the army all quit.

"Jinling can be wanted, but General Chen's life must be saved!"

"We have to wait for Old General Chen to wake up!"

"We have to see Old General Chen wake up with our own eyes!"

The army stopped, the three lieutenants could not command the army at all, and the generals who had received their money were now denied it.

If it drags on, Chen Hongyi really has three longs and two shorts, and these three may not be able to save their lives.

Only the class teacher returns to Xiangyang is the best policy!

The Eastern Expeditionary Army walked for a few days and then turned back, which really frightened Liu Jian and them.

Shen Yuanhao's face turned pale, thinking that Chen Hongyi had returned to Qingjun's side with soldiers and horses.

Liu Jian felt that something must have happened, otherwise Chen Hongyi would not give up halfway no matter what.

When the unconscious Chen Hongyi was carried into the city, the whole city was in an uproar.

Fortunately, Chen Hong had a great life, and he woke up three days after returning to the city.

But the matter of the Eastern Crusade has come to naught, and the news of the dispatch of the army and Chen Hongyi's coma has long been spread to the city in the territory of Zhu Yaoshi.

Zhu Yaoshi hurriedly mobilized the army to test the area around Suizhou, intending to strike first.

After Chen Hongyi woke up, Liu Jian, who had been waiting for a long time, blamed himself and complained that he shouldn't have sent Chen Hongyi to the expedition.

At this time, Chen Hongyi confessed that the overboard was designed by himself in advance, and the purpose was to make the imperial court cancel the plan to conquer Jinling in the east.

Liu Jian didn't blame Chen Hongyi, but was a little unconvinced: "Even if it is really pre-designed by the master, as long as the master doesn't say it, no one in this world will know!" ”

"People are watching the sky, and the minister's design is like this, in addition to canceling the Eastern Crusade, let His Majesty see if the three deputy marshals have the ability to control the three armies. So that they can have self-knowledge, so as not to spoil His Majesty's elite army in the future! ”

"Master is really well-intentioned, since the Eastern Crusade has been canceled, Master will recuperate in peace, and we can continue to accumulate strength!"

"No, Your Majesty, the old minister confessed everything, and he didn't want to fight on the battlefield anymore, the minister has passed the year of the sixtieth year, and wants to go back to his hometown in Lingnan to recuperate, and please ask Your Majesty for permission!"

"If Master resigns right now! Haven't the disciples become mean and unkind? ”

"This is also one of the purposes of being a teacher, and this is also a good show that a teacher can help you play! This drama should be watched by Cui Ju, and the people in the court should also be seen by the world! ”

Liu Jian couldn't guess Chen Hongyi's intentions for a while, but since Chen Hongyi said so, he must be sure.

"The apprentice is willing to listen to the master's teachings!"

"Your Majesty, all the people in this world are unreliable, only on themselves! On the road to world domination in the future, you will become more and more lonely! ”
