"Whew....this matter has finally come to an end."

Liu Xin let out a sigh of relief, the melancholy in his heart dissipated a lot, and secretly thought: "This is also due to Wang Mang's domineering and saving Ziyao's life." If it weren't for him, how could I disobey Feng Yi's decision to save Ziyao's life?

However, as soon as this incident came out, it also dealt a blow to his reputation. Although this is beneficial to me, I do not want to use this method to attack his reputation as a saint. In this way, I owe Wang Mang a favor. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Mrs. Feng played has been properly handled. All the people involved in the incident have their provenances, and a public opinion has been reached. Therefore, no one will be able to discuss this matter in the future. Now I would like to ask you Aiqing to express your stance on the matter of the Xiongnu's large-scale march to the south, and come up with a proper solution.

In the previous battle, the fifteenth prince was killed, and more than 100,000 defenders were wiped out, and now there are not many troops on the Gansu side to defend. It would be very inappropriate if this was delayed for too long. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, this matter must not be delayed for too long, otherwise it will inevitably lead to great calamity."

Huo Jianghai said in a deep voice: "After the minister learned the news yesterday, he discussed with the ministers and clansmen overnight. On this matter, the minister has reached a consensus with them, and decided to immediately dispatch 50,000 elites to Yumen Pass in Gansu to help resist the enemy.

As for all the baggage and military salaries corresponding to them, the ministers also arranged them properly, and they were transferred to Gansu overnight yesterday. Of course, these 50,000 elites are only the vanguard, and the ministers will continue to send troops to reinforce them in the future.

Thinking about it, His Majesty also knows that it is not easy for the minister to draw a large number of troops at one time, or even not at all, and it takes a certain amount of time to prepare. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to take care of this matter, and the ministers did their best. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, her face looked much better. "Xiangye has worked hard, my Han has Xiangye to preside over the overall situation, it is really a blessing for the world and the people!"

Huo Jianghai was able to urgently mobilize 50,000 troops to Gansu in just one night, which was indeed painstaking and exhaustive.

Although he is in charge of a state and has hundreds of thousands of troops, if these troops want to be mobilized smoothly, they need to make a lot of preparations in advance, not that they can be mobilized if they can be mobilized. At the very least, a series of agreements have to be reached with the clansmen.

It can be said that it is difficult to know the difficulties without being in his position.

"Wei Yushi, Huo Xiangye has already expressed his position on this matter, I don't know if Aiqing has a countermeasure?"

Wei Gonghan said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the minister also discussed with the clansmen all night last night, but the ministers are hindered by the dispersion of the clansmen's rights, and it is difficult to gather them in a short period of time. Therefore, the minister only urgently raised 40,000 troops to go to Gansu. As for more, the minister can't be mobilized for a while, so he can only delay it for a while. It is estimated that it will take about half a month. ”

"Forty thousand? It's okay, after all, it's better than nothing. Liu Xin also praised it, and then set his eyes on Wang Xiannian.

However, it is obvious that Wang Xiannian was just presiding over the separation of the family some time ago, so he was even more difficult to urgently transfer troops. Many clansmen have their own ideas, and they are afraid that they will suffer losses, so they refuse to give more, and they are full of contradictions.

These big families, on the surface, seem to have infinite scenery and a wide range of soldiers, but in fact, once they encounter any urgent matters, they have many problems in operation. At least they are not in their own territory, and some words will be greatly diminished if they are passed on.

If they are all in charge of their own states, then they can have a relatively quick response and solution to some urgent matters.

People's hearts are complicated, and it is not easy for them to suppress the scene in the imperial capital thousands of miles away. If the troops are hastily transferred and the whole body is involved, there may be a great calamity in this situation, and the local officials will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and rebellions will break out everywhere, which will cause even greater disasters.

In this case, like a small dynasty, they are afraid that those under their command will take advantage of the loopholes and establish themselves as kings.

They all have scruples and need to be cautious and make proper arrangements, not in a hurry.

Liu Xin asked several important family leaders one by one, and a total of about 1120,000 troops were raised.

"Mrs. Feng, the ministers have already expressed their stance on this matter, I don't know what your plans are? What's the best way to retreat from the enemy? I just heard you say that you have the ability to guard the frontier. I think this time, you will definitely not disappoint everyone, right? ”

Liu Xin took the opportunity to taunt and forced him to bleed profusely.

He thought that he had just offended Feng Yi to death, scolded him, and lost his face. So why don't you sin a little more and squeeze more of his blood? Picture yourself happy?

"Your Majesty is right!" Wang Mang hurriedly said: "The minister also heard Feng Yi swear just now that he could guard the frontier and be not afraid of the Huns. Thinking about it, he must have prepared a lot this time, and at least he could urgently dispatch 100,000 troops to deter the barbarians.

Mrs. Feng, now that the survival of the country is at a critical juncture, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are counting on you to turn the tide and save the people from fire and water. I think that as long as you do this great thing, you will be able to become prosperous and wealthy in the future, and you will definitely become a model for all the people in the world afterwards.

Also, according to the official's understanding of you, you have a very good relationship with Li Zhong and Pi Tong. And they have a large number of soldiers and excellent abilities. I think that as long as you open your mouth, it will definitely be okay to borrow 180,000 soldiers and horses from them. In this way, you will be able to lead the crowd on this expedition. This official is here to congratulate Lord Taifu on his victory, establishing his first merit, and breaking millions of enemies. ”

"Wang Mang, you...."

Feng Yi heard the mockery, and his face suddenly turned red, like a pig's liver.

He was so angry that he was trembling all over.

He almost gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's preparation this time is slightly insufficient, and he really does not have the ability to deploy too many troops, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

"Ill-prepared? Hehe, it turns out that this is what you call the confidence to be able to suppress the frontier? Mrs. Feng, I have seen what you are capable of. Liu Xin said coldly: "Mrs. Feng, we won't talk much about it." How many troops can you draw? Also, you know the land of Zhuzhou best. According to your judgment, how many troops can the princes of Zhuzhou gather? ”

"The minister can probably draw out 30,000 troops, as for the assassination history of the other princes in Zhuzhou, the minister estimates that they can only make up 30,000 or 40,000 in a short time."

"You thirty thousand? Thirty or forty thousand of them? In this way, there are seventy or eighty thousand in the entire city? Well, that's it. ”

Liu Xin nodded, did not continue to taunt, and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we have already agreed on the candidate for the supreme commander of the expedition. But the person agreed on that time was not the one who sent the troops this time. That's why I want to ask you. Will Wang Mang still serve as the supreme commander of the troops this time? If he is not suitable, who should be the right person? ”
