Chapter 754: The Widow Comes to Handle the Knife
The matter of Chen Di has made a big fuss, and this fact is not only known to the princes of the Central Plains, but even there are people in Wu'an City who are talking about it.
The monarch defeated the two kingdoms of Tang and Xiao, and then sent troops to occupy Chendi, which was enough to rival the merit of the Marquis of Zhao, and the new monarch only succeeded to the throne for only four years to achieve such an achievement.
Therefore, now that Wei Wuji is in the hearts of Wei people, his prestige is already in full swing, and no one can shake his position.
Although the current situation is a little out of control, the people of Wei still believe that their monarch can once again turn danger into victory and push Wei to the next glory.
The people knew little information, so they naturally had full confidence in Wei Wuji, but the big officials in the court were worried about this.
They are not worried about the 100,000 troops of Qin, because Wei has more troops, and what they are worried about is how to maintain the massive amount of grain and grass needed by the army.
Although Wei Guo has been recuperating in the past few years and has saved a lot of money, he can't help but squander it repeatedly!
At the court meeting on June 20, the courtiers who had not spoken much in the past talked about their difficulties one by one.
To sum it up: lack of money, lack of food, but lack of armament!
Let the courtiers oppose Wei Wuji to start a war, and give them ten dares not dare, so they can only express their protest in this way.
But Wei Wuji just said lightly to the courtiers and let them go down to find a way, and then hurriedly ended the court meeting.
As usual, Wei Wuji left Xu Anhong, Guo Liangdong and a few people behind, and these people were the ones Wei Wuji really needed to convince.
In the side hall of the Yongming Palace, Wei Wuji pointed to the location of Chen Guo on the huge map on the wall, and said, "Zhuqing, you should understand...... Now that our army has confronted the Qin State, it is ready to fly, and it has to be sent! ”
Looking back, Wei Wuji looked at the courtiers behind him and said solemnly: "Withdrawing the army at this time will not only damage the prestige of our Great Wei State, but also frustrate the morale of the army!" ”
Wei Wuji just said this by himself, anyway, Xu Anhong and the others didn't believe it.
The Wei state occupied the three places of Tang, Xiao and Chen, and the countries were terrified, and the withdrawal of troops would not affect the national prestige of Wei at all, let alone frustrate the morale of the army.
Xu Anhong didn't speak, but Guo Liangdong, as the prime minister, had to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, if you continue to fight, I'm afraid that the monarch will be empty again!" ”
Guo Liangdong is the prime minister, not only are the subordinate officials below him complaining to him, but some county guards also complain to him.
Xu Anhong is in charge of grain requisition, so he can understand Guo Liangdong's difficulties, although Wei is the king, but Guo Liangdong, the housekeeper, is not good.
Wei Wuji didn't answer Guo Liangdong's words, but turned around and said: "When the widow first joined the army, it was still in the twelfth year of Zhaohou, and at that time, my Great Wei's army took Changping Pass!" ”
What does the monarch mean by that? Xu Anhong and the others didn't understand how to talk so far from the topic.
I heard Wei Wuji continue: "Zhaohou has been twelve years, and it has been almost ten years now, right?" But I'm Great Wei, and my sphere of influence is still on the front line of Changping Pass!"
"In other words, my Great Wei has not gained anything in terms of national power over the years, I don't know what you think, but it is intolerable for the widow!"
Looking at the people below with deep eyes, Wei Wuji said: "Therefore, it is imperative to fight with the Qin State, and the widow is willing to block my Great Wei Ten Years of National Fortune and compete with the Qin State!" ”
Having said so much, the following people can understand that the monarch is a tough expression of his attitude, and the war with the Qin State must be fought.
Xu Anhong and the others were speechless for a while, and at this time it was impossible for them to speak out against it, because the monarch had already decided.
What they should do is to go down and make a good total, how to help Wei Wuji fight this battle!
At this time, I heard Xu Anhong say: "Since the monarch has made up his mind, the ministers must go all out to maintain the needs of the army for conquest!" ”
Looking at Xu Anhong, who had been convinced, Wei Wuji nodded slowly, and then he turned his gaze to Guo Liangdong and the others.
These three people are not stupid people, so they naturally know that it is useless to talk more now, and they all attached to Xu Anhong's proposal.
It stands to reason that this small court meeting should be over, but Wei Wuji didn't mean to let them go, so he listened to him continue: "This battle is very important, if you win, you will defeat the Qin State, and if you lose, you will lose your land and lose your troops...... Therefore, the widow decided that the widow would lead the army in this war! ”
If it is said that the matter just now is already important, then the matter of the pro-conquest that Wei Wuji said is even more incredible, this is a major matter related to the country's capital!
Although this was the Warring States period, it was not uncommon for the monarch to lead troops to go on expeditions, but it was still a matter of great implication.
So, Xu Anhong, who had just agreed with Wei Wuji, was the first to object: "The king must not, on the occasion of this great war, the court still needs the king to sit in charge, so that he can work together and attack Qin with all his might!" ”
Xu Anhong objected, Guo Liangdong and others also stood up to oppose it, and Wei Wuji's errand of taking them away was even more difficult.
But in the same way, Wei Wuji was very stubborn in this matter, he didn't give these people room to bargain at all, but directly forcibly arranged it.
"This matter is so decided, and there is no need to say more, the widow's father and ancestor have all had their own actions, and they have never seen a great chaos in the country, but they have also achieved their prestige and praise the world!"
Speaking of this, Wei Wuji said with a solemn expression: "The widow has inherited his father's ancestor's country, and he has also inherited the pride of his father's ancestor, how can he cower in Wu'an City?" ”
Having said this, Xu Anhong, what else can they say!
This was an era of valiant martial arts, and the king's desire to lead his troops into battle was a sign of bravery, which they could not reproach legally or morally.
"The king insists on this, and the ministers should obey it!" The first person to understand was Guo Liangdong.
At this time, Xu Anhong still did not express his position, and he was still a little worried.
It was a serious battle, and if something happened to the monarch on the battlefield, it would be almost the end of the Wei state.
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Xu Anhong still said.
Wei Wuji's face remained unchanged, but he said calmly: "The widow has been thinking about this matter for a long time, there is no need to make any more patrols!" ”
Sighing, Xu Anhong could only say helplessly: "That minister, I wish you a victory and a safe return to and from here!" ”
Peace is the most important thing, Wei Wuji understood the meaning of Xu Anhong's words, so he also wanted Xu Anhong to nod slightly.
Then the court meeting was really over, and Wei Wuji also forcibly pushed his own will and really finalized the matter of the war.
And the most important thing is his personal conquest, which is the first major war he presided over after succeeding to the throne.
But Wei Wuji was still more confident, he was only won by fighting the throne, and he was more expectant than afraid of war.
Moreover, even if he loses this war, Wei Wuji can afford to lose, and he can't fight a big war in the past ten years.
Of course, Wei Wuji's insistence on pro-conquest has a certain relationship with the actual war situation.
After all, now there are no generals in the Changping camp and the Lingbei camp who are capable of being able to take charge on their own, and they are capable of dealing with the conquest of such a great power, which coincides with Wang Xiu.
Even if it was Zheng Chang, who led the army to destroy Tang and Xiao, Wei Wuji didn't think that he had the ability to deal with this matter.
The most important thing is that if this big victory is achieved, it will be much more meritorious than destroying Tang Xiao and the two kingdoms, and that courtier can afford this credit?
No one can afford to destroy the main army of the Qin State, only Wei Wuji, the monarch, can bear it, otherwise it should be a high achievement.
It was under these two considerations that Wei Wuji decided to recruit himself, so that he would bear all the merits and demerits, and would not add to the trouble.
