Emperor Han Ai did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he couldn't do anything big.

Although the current war on the frontier is extremely critical, although he very much wants to send troops immediately. But whether he said this matter or not, he had to consult with the ministers and the heads of the major families.

If these people don't agree, then it's useless for him to be anxious.

Wang Mang glanced at Shangguan Ning Xuan, and said in a low voice: "Ning Xuan, the war on the frontier is tight right now, and Ji Yun and Ji Xuan's minds are no longer on you. You can take the opportunity to leave quickly to avoid misconduct. As for your father, I will explain it to you in the future. ”

Shangguan Ningxuan frowned, and snorted secretly: "Wang Mang, it was you who killed my father, you remember this for me." One day, I will take your head myself and avenge my father. ”

Wang Mang smiled bitterly: "Whatever you want, it is important that you leave quickly, don't say too much gossip, so as not to delay the hour." Otherwise, when Ji Yun and the others come to their senses, maybe they will poison you again. When the time comes, even if you want to seek revenge on me, you won't be able to. ”

"Hmph..."

Shangguan Ningxuan snorted heavily, her body flashed, and she left quickly.

When she rushed to a distance of about twenty zhang and completely left Ji Yun's attack range, Ji Yun and Ji Xuan came back to their senses from the death of the fifteenth prince.

When they saw that Shangguan Ning Xuan had fled to safety, they couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.

"Hey..., it seems that this Shangguan Ningxuan is still lucky. Today, we didn't seize such a good opportunity, and we were disturbed by the war on the frontier. Ji Yun sighed.

"What's the solution? More than 100,000 troops in the frontier went to the country in distress, and millions of people were slaughtered. Ji Yun, what are you going to do now? Ji Xuan asked.

"What else can I do? It's good that Feng Yi and the clan elders are in charge of these things, we are not good at conquering cities and conquering places, and we may not be able to please them if we mix them rashly. Ji Yun replied.

"Yes!" Ji Xuan said: "Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was helped by the military gods Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and raised the strength of the whole country to conquer the Xiongnu. The two sides fought for nearly twenty or thirty years before they defeated the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, resulting in no more royal court in Mobei.

Later, in order to stabilize the frontier and develop the economy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent a huge price to migrate many people and wealthy merchants from the Central Plains to the frontier, wanting to open up a new frontier, assimilate the barbarians, and expand the territory.

I don't want this to pass one or two hundred years, and all the hard work of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be in vain. It is a pity that the measures of the past have been destroyed today. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Ji Yun said: "After so many years of vigorous development over there, it is not much worse than the Central Plains. It is indeed a pity that all these foundations have been destroyed. Thinking that in the future, Emperor Wei Mingjun of Ziji was born and unified the world, he must also learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, redevelop the frontier, and expand the heritage. Now that this is happening, I don't know how much hard work it will cost in the future. ”

"Maybe this is the will of heaven, Mingjun not only wants to calm the world and bring the gospel to the people, but also expand the country's heritage and deter the Quartet. At present, although the hard work of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for many years has been destroyed, it has also given Emperor Ziji Wei Mingjun the opportunity to establish his merits. Between the construction and the destruction, it only suffers the people of the world and those builders. ”

-----

Feng Yi and the others formed a small group to discuss in a low voice, Wang Mang also secretly pondered, then Huo Jianghai, Wei Gonghan and Wang Xiannian also formed a small group to discuss in a whisper, very embarrassed.

They originally planned to exterminate the barbarian Xiongnu, pacify the border war in Kyushu, and then slowly fight among themselves.

However, the extermination of the Xiongnu barbarians will take time and preparation. At the moment, there is not much time left for them, and the preparation is not very sufficient, which makes them feel like a dog bites a hedgehog and has no way to come up with a valid conclusion.

If you rush into battle, what will be the success or failure? And at what cost?

If the troops are not sent in time to support, how long can the Gansu defenders hold out? After the Xiongnu army broke through Gansu, how should their territory be effectively defended? What is the next battle plan of the Xiongnu army? What if they go straight to their own territory first? Will others help you?

Embarrassed, extremely embarrassed!

Liu Xin glanced at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was worried, his heart was even more gloomy.

He deeply understood the reason why these ministers were worried, and he expected that they were afraid that rashly sending troops would bring great damage to their own background, which would lead to the decline of the future and their inability to fight for Kyushu.

"Huo Xiangye, Wei Yushi, Wang Taiwei, I don't know what you think about the border war? According to the situation reported by General Zhang Ze, this matter cannot be delayed, and it is necessary to quickly come up with a reliable plan and strategy. ”

"This..."Huo Jianghai frowned, and asked Wang Mang: "Lord Wang, you were originally the supreme commander of this army, in your opinion, how should you deal with this matter?" ”

Wang Mang replied: "Huo Xiangye, although this happened too suddenly, the situation is also very critical. But we can't mess up, let alone lose our minds, otherwise, it will only bring more damage.

I think that all of you have some scruples in your hearts, and you can't prepare to make a judgment. In my opinion, it is better to go back to consult with your own family members first, arrange for the battle manpower, and adjust the armaments of the places under your jurisdiction. Tomorrow, we will convene an early reunification meeting to discuss the dispatch of troops.

I want to have a night to think about it, and you should have a proper statement tomorrow morning. Of course, it is necessary for our army to rush to the aid of the frontier, and no one can stay out of this matter, let alone delay it for too long.

Therefore, I believe that no matter how your Excellency calculates, after you return, you must order the preparation of military rations to be accelerated as soon as possible, and the dispatch of soldiers and men in case of emergency. And I will also send an order to let my soldiers who have been dispatched in Liaoning speed up their march, and try to arrive in Gansu as soon as possible to help the frontier. ”

"Well, that's fine." Huo Jianghai said: "Wang Mang, it's difficult for you to know our difficulties!" ”

"Hehe, although you are all heads of the family, in this matter, I think you can't quickly come up with an accurate opinion on behalf of the whole clan. If I say that I will send troops immediately, I am afraid that you will not be able to send troops even if you want to, right?

Under the intertwined interests of all parties, you must not be careless in consultation and consideration. Otherwise, if there is a major disagreement between your respective families and civil strife, then wouldn't we be the equivalent of a fire in the backyard and a great loss of vitality? Wang Mang said lightly.

When the leaders of the family heard this, they didn't dare to stay for a long time. Hurry up and turn around and leave. It is necessary to consult with the clansmen as soon as possible, distribute the benefits that they should have, and balance the gains and losses of the clansmen.
