In the spring of the seventh year of Xiande, it finally came in the sound of firecrackers.

The first month of the new year is ugly.

Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the name to congratulate.

Zhen and Ding's two states galloped, the Khitan entered the Kou, and the Hedong thief army went east from Tumen to join forces with the Fan Kou.

Hedong is in danger.

……

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Zhengdan Dynasty, civil and military officials from the Chongyuan Hall to the palace outside the palace square, the number of small five hundred, such an urgent report, like thunder in the hundred officials exploded, suddenly discussed, the crowd was turbulent, Chaoyi also can't take care of it.

"Quiet, quiet, quiet......"

Fan Zhen had to personally press the order, however, the crowd did not calm down as desired, but overtook the performance because of Fan Zhen's appearance.

"Please send troops to expel the enemy as soon as possible."

"The Khitan didn't dare to go south for many years, why did they come this time, is it to deceive me that there is no one in the Great Zhou......"

"Hit ...... Hit him ......"

Fan Zhen was furious: "Quiet, the military aircraft is a major event, and you have your own privy plan to deal with it, and you have to wait for Hugh to be noisy." ”

After Fan Zhen finished reprimanding, he saw that the hundred officials were gradually quiet, so he turned to the seven-year-old little emperor and said: "Holy Lord, the court ceremony has been completed, whether to retreat from the court first, and then march to the other hall to discuss." ”

Guo Zongxun had already been frightened by the actions of the hundred officials, and couldn't help but look at the bead curtain behind him when he heard the words.

Fu Erniang also had no idea, and was thinking about whether to announce her withdrawal from the dynasty, but she saw Cheng Bian Gui Yan striding out of the ranks in the imperial history, and said: "Wait, Zhengdan Dahe, shocked to hear that the sword soldiers, the lord is ominous, such a big event, make a decision as soon as possible, and calm the heart of the dynasty." ”

"You ......"

Fan Zhen was furious, but he couldn't bear anything about it, because in the imperial history, it was his duty to supervise and impeach, and this side was known for his integrity and integrity, but unfortunately, things were a little unclear.

"Whether the warning is true or not, it still needs to be verified, if it is true, you don't have to panic, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, my Dazhou is now strong and strong, why not be afraid of the Khitan. The court has been completed, the ministers retreat first, Wei Xiang, you preside over the military meeting. ”

"No."

Wei Renpu came out of the class and said loudly: "Those who have nothing to do with the military affairs, please step down for the time being, and all the generals in the squad will command the above to participate in the military discussion." ”

In the buzz, hundreds of officials withdrew from the hall one after another, and only about thirty people remained in the large hall.

"Qingzhi, you are in charge of the privy council, you should talk about your views first."

Wu Yanzuo was only forty or three years old at the time, he was a very beautiful person, perhaps because the Privy Council was busy with military affairs, he lost a lot of weight a few years ago, he showed a bitter appearance, often locked his brows, and his voice was still dumb today, and when he saw Wei Renpu's name, he hurriedly got up and said: "Because last year, my division and soldiers went down to Sanzhou and Sanguan without blood, and they were busy with the planning of Zhufang Wheel Town a year ago, so they were a little lax about the affairs in the north, and it is not yet possible to distinguish whether the warning is true or false." But I think that the Khitan is as treacherous as a wolf, and now that there is wolf smoke in Zhenzhou and Dingzhou, we can't help but guard against it. ”

Wei Renpu nodded, and then asked Han Tong: "General Han, what do you think?" ”

Han channel: "Don't panic, Dingzhou Sun Xingyou tasted good words, and took peace and quiet as his own responsibility, so it is possible for thousands of horses to say ten thousand rides, and ten thousand horses to blow one hundred thousand." And Zhenzhou has Guo Chong and Cao Yun (Cao Bin's father), the two of them have always been cautious, even if they really come to the army of 100,000, it is impossible to go down overnight, and wait for tomorrow, if the situation is really urgent, the king of Wei will have a book. ”

Murong Yanzhao replied without waiting for a question: "What General Han said is very true, even if it is really an invasion of 100,000 troops, the first to arrive at the moment can only be the vanguard troops, and the camps in Beijing can be prepared first, and it is not too late to decide on the expedition when the Daimyo, or the two states of Xing and Shen arrive." ”

Wei Renpu nodded, and asked Song Jiuzhong again: "General Song, what do you think?" ”

Song Jiuzhong got up, first bowed deeply to the young emperor on the throne, and then said: "General Murong and General Han are all old Cheng to seek the country, and the minister thinks so, just in terms of war, it should be like this." But ......"

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The last general thinks that the number of Khitan soldiers does not matter first, but the soldiers are in the town, Dingerzhou is certain, the Khitan is well aware of the customs of our dynasty, and in previous years also liked to send troops to Zhengdan, harassment and plunder, normally speaking, the towns in the east of the river can send troops to drive them. But this year is a little unusual. ”

"What's the unusual law?"

"Today's Zhengdan Hundred Officials congratulate him, it was an auspicious day for the Holy Emperor to change the Yuan Dynasty, but it was blocked by the emergency report of 800 miles, such a despicable act, only the Jinyang Pseudo-Han would do it, have you forgotten how Jinyang acted when the first emperor ascended the throne."

The voice fell, and there was an uproar in the hall, and most of the ministers present in the court meeting were vivid.

Wei Renpu gasped and turned his head to look at Wang Pu, he was the only one who supported the first emperor's personal expedition back then, and since then he has been deeply trusted by the first emperor. He looked at Fan Zhen again, how did Fan Zhen not know the meaning of the inquiry in his gaze, and immediately said loudly: "General Song, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent."

Song Jiuzhong said sincerely: "The last general thinks that since the puppet Han once again played the joint Khitan wolf soldiers and committed evil deeds against compatriots, I simply sent out a large army, and with lightning speed, I drove the enemy army abroad, and recovered Youyan in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, send troops, beat the Khitan dogs, and the pseudo-man who wants to kill is ......"

Song Jiu's loud words aroused the fighting spirit of the generals, and they all rubbed their fists.

Fan Zhen looked at Zhang Mei.

"When the first emperor was here, a certain person was dragging his feet."

Zhang Mei smiled bitterly: "A certain opponent is against sending troops, because ...... Certain...... I don't want to see the granary empty anymore and worry about making money. ”

Fan Zhen looked at Wu Yanzuo again.

"A certain ......"

Wu Yanzuo gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "A certain person is in charge of military affairs as a civilian...... I can't do it anymore, but I obey my orders. ”

Fan Zhen didn't doubt it, nodded and asked Wang Pu again: "Qi Wu, what do you think?" ”

"The three generals are all reasonable, but if you really want to send troops, you don't have to wait for tomorrow, and the soldiers are fast."

Fan Zhen turned around and saluted the throne and said, "Please make it clear to the Holy Lord." ”

Fu Erniang's voice came from inside the curtain: "Everything is in charge of Prime Minister Lao." ”

"Commandment."

Fan Zhen turned around and asked Song Jiuzhong: "If you want to send troops, I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have to send, and who will lead the troops for good?" ”

"General Murong and General Han are both experienced in a hundred battles and can be commanders."

Fan Zhen was silent, and pondered with his hands.

The forbidden army in Beijing, the three mountains stand side by side, Song Jiuzhong has the strongest ability, the least qualifications, and the highest position. And Murong Yanzhao, who was more senior, deigned to be his deputy, making it clear that he meant to supervise the army.

With such a team match, only the first emperor has the ability to make Murong Yanzhao willing.

If Murong Yanzhao is allowed to lead the troops, if he has made great contributions, how should he arrange this loyal and brave general?

What's more, his loyalty and courage are loyal and brave, but the way of strategy is much worse, and he doesn't dare to put the power of the army in his hands.

And Han Tong is even more unable to lead the troops, his sexual violent, from the perspective of balancing military power, Jian assigned Zhang Lingduo and Gao Huaide to command the guards Sima Jun and the infantry army respectively, and he will have a sense of dissatisfaction, if this big victory is achieved, this guy's nostrils will be facing the sky.

Fan Zhen made up his mind and said to Song Jiuzhong: "General Murong and General Han are both generals in the army, and they are my Dinghai God's needle-like existence, so you can't use them indiscriminately, this time you send troops, you can go." ”

Song Jiuzhong hurriedly thanked him: "The last general will not dare to take this important task." ”

"Why?"

Song Jiuzhong's face showed impatience, and he said with a wry smile: "The last general is young, his virtue is thin and shallow, and there is no problem in leading the Sima infantry in front of the palace to fight alone, but if you want to contact and dispatch the soldiers and horses in the towns of Hedong, it is beyond your strength, please choose another talent." ”

"Hmm."

Fan Zhen nodded, and said: "Since you are ordered to command the army, I will give you the corresponding military power, the key is to have the confidence to defeat the invading enemy." ”

Song Jiuzhong bent his waist lower, "Good Sect Fan Xiang knows, if this is the case, the last general will not dare to accept the order, not because he has no courage to accept the enemy, but because the authority is too great, the last general is afraid, unless he ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the front of the palace is exhausted, please ask General Murong to make a good decision for a certain one, if so, the last general will have the courage to take this important task, and he will also have the confidence to defeat the enemy army and return peace to the territory."

Fan Zhen took a deep breath and asked Murong Yanzhao, "General Murong, what do you think?" ”

Song Jiuzhong always respected Murong Yanzhao very much, and he privately treated him as a brother, and when he said today, Murong Yanzhao was relieved, and he agreed at the moment.

Wu Yanzuo let out a long sigh, but found that Zan Jurun was also abnormal, standing aside, his eyes blank, as if he had lost his soul.
