Chapter 384 Dispatch
Yanjing,
At this time, there was chaos in the court, although Liu Wei was not there, but once a major event was encountered, the court meeting would still be held.
At this time, the major officials in the court were arguing, Liu Yu, Lu Zhi, Huang Wan, Ouyang Xiu, Xun Yu, Cen Wenwen, Du Ruhui, Xu Guangqi, Fan Zhongyan and a series of officials were arguing, but this time there was a rare lack of military generals.
"The war in the north is urgent, and troops must be sent to support!" Lu Zhi said categorically.
"No, no, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yanjing City, what if you send troops to support the safety of the imperial city, what about the safety of the queen, the imperial concubine, the prince, and the princess, and what is the role of 10,000 soldiers and horses in the war." When Lu Zhi's voice fell, Huang Wan objected.
That's right, what they are arguing about this time is the battle between Northern Mongolia and Yang Ye.
"Huang Gong, forgive Xun Yu for saying something that you don't like, the war in the north is really related to the safety of Yanjing, and even not only Yanjing, but even the safety of Your Majesty will be affected." Xun Yu also spoke at this time, it was obvious that he was the main battle faction that supported Lu Zhi.
"If this is wrong, although the lower officials do not understand military affairs, but they also clearly understand the ability of General Yang Ye, General Yang Ye has been guarding the border for more than ten years, and knows the Hu people very well, and there are 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, as well as the Great Wall, and the cities of Yanmen County are now also high and thick, and the lower officials believe that the war in the north will not end so soon." At this time, Ouyang Xiu also spoke, he supported Huang Wan, of course he was not the main peace faction, after all, Liu Wei had repeatedly ordered that no matter what the situation was, he could not compromise with the alien race.
"Yes, yes, General Yang Ye has 60,000 soldiers and horses, with a large and strong city, even if the enemy army has 100,000 iron cavalry, it is not impossible to deal with the enemy, after all, the army of the Hu people is not good at attacking cities, as long as they do not fight with them in the field, they will not be defeated." Cen Wenwen also spoke, and he also supported Huang Wan.
After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Huang Wan's face smiled even more, and there was still a little smug on his face when he looked at Lu Zhi.
"The two adults are indeed right, but what the lower officials want to say is that the Hu people who attacked this time are not the Xianbei people in the past, not the Qiang people, not the Wuheng people, but the Mongols, and they are very different from the Hu people in the past." Fan Zhongyan spoke, he belonged to the main battle, and he chose to support Lu Zhi.
After they finished speaking, other officials also scrambled to speak first, some supported Lu Zhi and some supported Huang Wan, and the entire court was in a mess.
"If you talk about your understanding of the Hu people and the Mongols, maybe Xia Guan is the most, you all know what you say, but Xia Guan also has something to say." At this time, Du Ruhui also spoke.
"If you are obscure, please speak!" At this time, Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said that this dispute belonged to Liu Yu and Xu Guangqi who did not speak.
"Yes, Lord Du, you!" Lu Zhi also spoke.
Du Ruhui's status among Liu Wei's ministers is still very high, even Liu Yu, Lu Zhi, and Huang Wan all sell him a face.
"Then the lower official will tell me a certain opinion! Xia Guan will first tell you a few things and let you think about it. Du Ruhan said with a smile.
"The first time the Mongols attacked was when His Majesty went out to fight against Dong, at that time the Mongols were not strong, only sent less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the main general was only Jin Wushu, Zhebei two, and our army had General Gao Su, General Zhang Xutuo, General Xu Huang, General Gao Siji, Huang Gong was also there, Lord Liu Ji, and Xia Guan, not only that, but later Lu Gong also brought troops, and our army later relied on Lord Liu Ji's strategy and strength, and the advantage of the fierce general won."
"The second time was when His Majesty ascended the throne, the Mongols attacked again, that time their commander was Prince Tuolei, and the main general of our army was General Yue Fei, the other party dispatched only twenty or thirty thousand horses, our army and its strength are not much different, in addition to General Yue Fei and Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Long Ju, Ding Yan, Zhang Xian and other generals coordinated to achieve victory, General Yue Fei's ability you should understand."
"And this time it was the Mongol Khan Temujin who led 100,000 iron cavalry, you should know that in recent years, the Mongolian tribes have invaded their soldiers everywhere, you must be able to understand, in addition, you should have seen the prince of Tolei to understand the ability of the prince of Tolei, but in the mouth of the prince of Tolei, you should be able to understand how strong Temujin's ability is, in the past, our army had an advantage in strength, and the generals also had an advantage in order to win, but this time it is different, whether it is a force or a general, or a general, Our army is not as good as the Mongols, how do you think our army can be stabilized, how can it win, once Yanmen is lost, the Great Wall falls, and the Mongolian iron cavalry drives straight in, Yanjing is absolutely not guaranteed, and His Majesty's back is exposed. Ladies and gentlemen, think carefully about how this battle should be decided. Du Ruhui has been saying for a long time, but every sentence is true and irrefutable.
"What Master Du said is reasonable, the old man also thinks that he should send troops to support, no matter whether he can win or not, he can support it for a period of time, as long as he waits for His Majesty to return triumphantly, everything is worth it." At this time, Liu Yu, as the head of the Three Princes, finally spoke, and his opening was destined to send troops to support.
"Then how to support, there are only 10,000 troops in Yanjing City, even if you go to support, it will be a drop in the bucket." Huang Wan had to accept the result of sending troops to support, but his words were still full of worry.
"The lower officials have already calculated this matter!" Xun Yu said with a smile at this time.
"I don't know what Wen Ruo's plan is?" Liu Yu looked at Xun Yu curiously.
"Xiaguan suggested that 5,000 soldiers and horses be transferred from the Yanjing garrison, and then 5,000 soldiers and horses from General Li Jing, and Xiaguan believes that General Yue Fei is afraid that he has already learned the news, and with General Yue Fei's temperament, he will send at least 10,000 soldiers and horses to support, so that there will be 20,000 soldiers and horses." Xun Yu replied.
"Then I wonder who the Lord will be? It was to let General Li Jing go on the expedition. Lu Zhi asked.
"General Li Jing is absolutely immovable, General Li Jing has only 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses are left after being transferred, although Gongsun Chan is greatly injured, but maybe he will take this opportunity to attack our army, except for General Li Jing, now I am afraid that no one can stop Gongsun Zhan." Xun Yu replied.
"Then I don't know who Wen Ruo will choose?" Huang Wan asked curiously.
"Before His Majesty left, he told his subordinates that there is one person in Yanjing City who can be of great use." Xun Yu said mysteriously.
"Could it be General Pei Yan Pei Yuanqing!" At this time, an official said loudly.
"Of course not, but General Pei is really needed this time, which is also the purpose of His Majesty to keep him in Yanjing." Xun Yu replied.
"Wen Ruomo is going to sell Guanzi, tell me quickly." Liu Yu said anxiously.
"This person is Liu Yu, the son of Lord Situ." Xun Yu smiled.
"Liu Yu!"
"Liu Yu!"
"Yu'er!"
Everyone was puzzled.
"When Your Majesty said it, the lower officials were also puzzled and His Majesty's next words shocked the lower officials, and it was the first time that the lower officials praised a person like this, His Majesty said that Liu Yuwu could charge into battle, fight and kill the enemy, no less than Xue Andu, Tai Shici, the commander of the army is not inferior to General Gaosu, and even the arrangement of troops is better than General Gaosu. Xun Yu replied.
In fact, Xun Yu still has something to say in his heart, which is what Liu Wei said to him, and now he is still wandering in his heart, "Liu Yu is ambitious and ambitious, if it weren't for me coming to Youzhou, this person would be able to replace Liu Yu in a few years, and dominate the side, but I don't know if he will be stable under me, otherwise, I'm afraid that Liu Yu will have no successor!" ”
Of course, Xun Yu can't say these words, can't say them, and doesn't dare to say them.
"My son does have some talent, but it's just too individual." Liu Yu said with some embarrassment, Liu Yu didn't know much about Liu Yu's talent, and he was unwilling to help Liu Yu develop against his wishes, and he was also resigned to Liu Yu's joining the army.
"Since he can be so praised by His Majesty, he will be able to make a difference." Lu Zhi nodded and said, he had seen Liu Yu, and he also felt that Liu Yu would become a talent in the future.
"In that case, Liu Yu will be the main general, and General Pei Yuanqing will be the deputy general to go to support together!" Liu Yu made the final decision.
"Good!"
