Chapter 161: Military Emergency
"Who do you mean? Uncle Lao Guo has read countless people, and told me about it, among these princes of mine, who is of great use? He Muhan asked.
Wei Zhengxun shook his head, but did not answer directly, but just said: "In fact, Jinyang is so big, the world is unique, as an emperor, after all, the energy is limited, one person can't manage it, as long as you know people well, you can manage the country well, and personal ability is actually secondary." ”
He Muhan didn't speak, squinting his eyes and listening carefully.
Wei Zhengxun hesitated slightly, but still said it: "The most important thing in governing the country is the system, as long as the system is reasonable and stable, so that people have no superfluous covetousness, it is enough to ensure the stability of the country." The primogeniture inheritance system, the previous dynasties have many inheritances, once the regime was stable, and later the country dynamics, the main and young ministers are strong, which is an important reason. Therefore, if we start with Your Majesty and implement the primogeniture system, there will be at least three advantages. ”
He Muhan still didn't say anything, but his eyes motioned for Wei Zhengxun to continue.
Wei Zhengxun took a breath and continued: "Advantage one, once the crown prince is established, the other princes will not covet it, and they can assist in a down-to-earth manner, reducing disputes between brothers; Advantage two, the eldest son of the emperor is often in the prime of life, and there will never be a situation where the lord and the young minister are strong, and the eldest son has a noble status, and there will be a large number of people behind him who are dedicated to assisting; The third benefit should be discussed in the light of the current situation. ”
"The situation is complicated today, what is the opinion of the old uncle?" He Muhan asked.
Wei Zhengxun breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally said the long-brewing thoughts in his heart: "Haochu, the eldest son of the emperor, although compared with other brothers who are famous for their talents, does not highlight their talents, but he is filial and calm, and knows people well, Queen Lu has been pouring a lot of effort into him, and Queen Lu's mother's family, Lu Yuchu and Lu Chuanlin will do their best to assist him, as long as the monarch and the minister are single-minded, what can not be done?" ”
"What about Uncle Guo's thoughts?" He Muhan asked very directly.
Wei Zhengxun no longer concealed it, and said loudly: "The old minister supports the emperor's eldest son, He Haochu, please Your Majesty appoint the emperor's eldest son as the prince!" ”
He Muhan shook his head: "Uncle Lao also knows that what I hate the most in my life is that others interfere with my thoughts, especially such a major event as Lichu, if others say this, I will never spare it, but Uncle Lao Guo said this, I ...... I will consider your suggestions. ”
Wei Zhengxun bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
He Muhan turned around and said: "But you must obey the decision I made just now, and what I want is Qiangang's dictatorship!" ”
Wei Zhengxun wanted to say again: "Your Majesty ....."
"Uncle Guo!" He Muhan interrupted him, "I didn't actually come to ask for your advice, but I decided on a matter to ask your opinion and how to implement it!" ”
Wei Zhengxun sighed and said: "The old minister thinks that the three strategies of Mu Xiangye just now are actually not contradictory to each other, they can be parallel, Your Majesty can issue a royal decree to the princes and kings, let them send troops, if they want money and food, they can drag it first, but they must send troops within a time limit, and secondly, the 80,000 army of Ningxiang Marquis should not be too aggressive, now after the South Vietnamese army defeated Fengyun Cavalry, the limelight is flourishing, we should hold the key point and wait for the South Vietnamese army to collapse." ”
"Self-collapse?" He Muhan asked.
Wei Zhengxun said: "The minister's eyes are dizzy, and he can't see anything five meters away, but if he talks about the situation in the world, he thinks that he can see more accurately than ordinary people, according to the minister's understanding, plus the 30,000 people of the Ruan family brothers, there are 160,000 troops in the north of Nanyue this time, but half of them, there are 80,000 Nanyi cavalry, and these 80,000 Nanyi troops are our breakthrough." ”
He Muhan is a person who can understand everything, nodded and said, "Not bad.... The reason why the 80,000 Nanyi cavalry served South Vietnam was that the South Vietnamese promised heavy profits, and my Jinyang was rich in land and resources, and what the South Vietnamese could give, I Jinyang doubled what I could give, and I will hand over this matter to Rong Qing and his Flying Eagle Guard. ”
After pondering for a moment, He Muhan said: "You write a secret decree and a clear decree about what I just meant, and distribute it, how to write it, Uncle Guo should be very clear." ”
Wei Zhengxun nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
......
After a series of fierce battles, He Nuo felt an unprecedented fatigue, as Fengyun rode south, the original 60,000 army, now there are less than 8,000 people left, there are 30,000 troops of the Ruan family brothers in front, and behind them is the upcoming 130,000 South Vietnamese army.
He Nuo also knew that the 80,000 people of Ningxianghou were coming, but how these 8,000 people happened to survive was actually a test of command.
However, the supreme commander of Fengyun Cavalry, Jing Weihou, did not think so, as one of the four sons of Jinyang, Jing Weihou was known as Wei Shuai, and when he started fighting, he also had an innate pride, even if there were only 8,000 people left, he still wanted to be ashamed and teach the South Vietnamese people a lesson.
After autumn, the evening was even cooler, He Nuo pulled up the collar a little, looked at Meng Xiaochen beside him, and thought of his brother by his side, his heart warmed a little.
Meng Xiaochen is the son of the Canglang Department of Xirong, this time he went south with the army, because he had made great contributions to the treatment of war horses, and was promised by Jingwei Hou to return to Jinyang to be crowned a marquis, but Meng Xiaochen didn't care about this, what he wanted was how to get out of the current predicament, maybe because he had been in Xirong for a long time, and he didn't feel how cold it was, but because he had always insisted on not eating horse meat to satisfy his hunger, relying on Liao Xingyun's bread to support, but his physical strength couldn't keep up.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Suddenly, there was a boiling in the army, which woke He Nuo from his contemplation, he looked up and saw a fast horse coming, and the people on the horse shouted in a low voice, "The army of Ningxiang Hou is coming!" ”
This sentence is like timely rain, nourishing the hearts of these tired Fengyun cavalry soldiers, their current biggest dilemma - not enough food and grass, as long as they are connected with the army of Ning Xianghou, it will naturally not be a problem
And at that time, the Marquis of Ningxiang, the Marquis of Jingwei, and the two most famous generals of Jinyang and Yan Kingdom joined forces, and they didn't know what kind of results they could create.
Jingweihou was also waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he heard the news, he immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to go north like lightning!" ”
Fengyun cavalry execution is very strong, and it was quickly assembled, and just as it was about to set off, another fast horse galloped over, with a voice of disbelief: "The army of Ningxiang Hou has set up camp ten miles ahead, and will not continue to advance!" ”
"What?" Jingweihou waved his horsewhip, "Now that the military situation is urgent, I am trapped in Fengyun Cavalry?" Ning Xianghou actually dared to stop, hurry! Pass my instructions, hurry up! ”
Marquis Jingwei glanced at He Nuo and said: "He Nuo, you are the status of the imperial family, Marquis Ning Xianghou may give you more face, take you with my token, immediately rush out of the encirclement of the Ruan family brothers, and quickly go to see Ning Xianghou and let him send troops, the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay!" ”
