Chapter 244: The War Begins
"Do you Aiqing have a suitable candidate?"
In the calm court, no one spoke, every official seemed to be here, his heart was elsewhere, Zhu Youtu glanced at it, and couldn't help but be depressed in his heart, didn't anyone come out?
Baiguan bowed his head, holding the jade plate in his hand, his sleeves fluttered, and no one stood up, even if Zhu Youtu was majestic and oppressed, no one was willing to take a step. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Shen Aiqing, I don't know if you have any recommended candidates?"
Shen Luo arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't." He took a step forward, said a word, and then went back to his place, calmly and lightly.
Zhu Youtu couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, no, he looked at Feng Zhi again, Feng Zhi's heart fluttered, Your Majesty will not take a fancy to me, he knew that he could not escape, so he stood up.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Cao Guogong is the most suitable, Cao Guogong is mighty, everyone knows it, if Cao Guogong goes on an expedition, he will definitely triumph."
"Cao Guogong? Well, yes, Feng Aiqing has no other candidates? Zhu Youtu looked at Feng Zhi with big eyes, Feng Zhi felt a void in his heart, this majesty would not let him go, so he quickly added a sentence.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Yanzhang and Wang are also quite suitable." I was really helpless, so I reported another name, only to see a man among the officials staring at Feng Zhi in front of him, his eyes were thick.
Feng Zhi was also bitter in his heart, but there was no way, he didn't want to go, he could only let others, this time, it was likely to die, Datang and Tubo attacked Daliang at the same time, anyone with a little brain knew that there must be an ulterior secret between them.
To go to the front line to resist them, not to look for death, but to do it?
"Oh, Lord Wang? Yes, but I still need a civilian official to go, in the barracks, without a civilian commander, it is impossible to defeat the enemy, I don't know if you Aiqing can deny this sentence with me? β
"Your Majesty, no." As soon as he finished speaking, a civil official immediately stood up and shouted no.
"Oh, why?"
"Since ancient times, there has been a division between civil and military, fighting is the business of military attachΓ©s, and it is not good for civilian officials to go, for the sake of the beam, for the sake of Your Majesty, we still stay in the court and assist Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty thinks twice."
"Your Majesty, civil officials can't go."
Zhu Youtu looked at this group of anxious civil officials, and sneered in his heart, aren't you very embarrassed and arrogant? I've been against this, I've been against that, and if I don't give you a little color today, you don't know how powerful I am.
"I have made up my mind, don't persuade me." Zhu Youtu had already decided, looked at the civil officials, and retreated one after another, not daring to face him.
"If you Aiqing don't have a candidate, then I will choose." As soon as Zhu Youtu's words came out, he immediately fried the pot.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is fifty and three this year, he is old and can't move, please forgive Weichen."
"Your Majesty, there is an eighty-year-old mother in the Weichen Mansion, a three-year-old child, who can't go."
"Your Majesty, Weichen has not yet married, so he can't go."
"Your Majesty......."
Broken feet, lame, wasted, or bad hands and other reasons, one by one from their mouths, Zhu Youtu smiled even more in his heart, this group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death will only compare, once something happens, no one is reliable.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been on the throne for a long time, he really wanted to abolish these moths, he glanced at it, pressed his hand, and the hundred officials were quiet, Zhu Youtu coughed: "Okay, let's give an order." β
"Order Cao Guogong and Chen Yifan to be the general in command this time, command the three armies, go to the border pass to suppress the turmoil, resist the strong enemy, and then order Wang Yanzhang, Meng Hao and others to cooperate with the two, as for the civil officials, forget it."
With a wave of his hand, he prepared a holy decree, and soon after, a holy decree came out of the court.
Cao Guogong in the barracks took the holy decree, his face was not sad or happy, and he put it on the table, and Cao Yimo, who was beside him, saw his father's appearance, and couldn't help but worry: "Dad, this matter?" β
"You're not satisfied?" Cao Yimo hurriedly shook his hand: "No, Dad, I want to say that this time, it may be very dangerous, how could His Majesty?" β
"Are you worried about Chen Yifan?"
Cao Yimo didn't speak, the expression on his face already said everything, Cao Guogong laughed, looked at his son, and shook his head: "That kid is not what you see, he looks lazy, in fact, this person's scheming is not low, even if it is an old man, he is three points weaker." β
"As for commanding the three armies, you don't need to worry, Your Majesty knows him better than you, do you think Your Majesty will let someone lead the army for no reason?"
Cao Yimo shook his head, according to his opinion, he would not do this, at this time, he could not take risks, he had to be calm.
"That's it, the thing you should worry about is not this one, but how to defeat Tubo, Tubo and Datang, and attack at the same time, this is not a good sign."
Cao Guogong sighed deeply, his eyes became deep, looking ahead, thoughtfully, Cao Yimo stood behind him, learning from his father to look into the distance, and did not see the scene he wanted to see.
And Chen Yifan, who was not far away, also got the holy decree, three days later, he led the army to travel, he closed the holy decree, sure enough, he was leaving, it was true, couldn't he settle down a little?
He doesn't understand, he rarely has a good life to live, but he is messed up by these things, are those people full of food and have nothing to do?
Zhu Zhen beside her looked at him quietly, she massaged Chen Yifan's shoulder, and said coldly: "Are you going to go on the expedition?" β
"Yes, in three days." Chen Yifan's face was not good-looking, and it took three days.
"Three days later, only three days?" She stopped massaging her hand, looked at Chen Yifan, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally she didn't speak, massaging quietly.
Soon, other people in the house also knew about Chen Yifan's expedition, and they came to comfort him, or they came to tell him some things that should be carefully prepared, and his mother-in-law was the most eager.
"Yifan, people will die in war, as long as you don't die, remember, you are a general, not a soldier, you don't need to rush up to fight and kill, protecting yourself is the most important thing."
The mother-in-law will not teach some brave words but cowardice, and the man should admit it.
"Don't look at your mother like this, I'm also for your good, if you die, my mother doesn't mind finding another in-law for Zhen'er, you can't let Zhen'er widow you, so ah, you can't die."
"Also, don't look at me anymore, I'm angry, Yifan, the battlefield is changing rapidly, you can't be careless, as a general, you must be decided, you can't hesitate, once you hesitate, countless soldiers under your command will die tragically."
The mother-in-law can still say two good words, which makes Chen Yifan feel a little comforted, and finally said a sentence back, which is not too annoying.
Zhu Zhen's face improved, looking at the back of her mother leaving, Zhu Zhu came, and when she saw Zhu Zhen, she was slightly restrained, she hesitated and left, not daring to say something in front of her.
Zhu Zhen watched her leave secretly, her eyes were shining, staring at Chen Yifan, Chen Yifan's heart was furious, she got up and smiled, and then walked over, Zhu'er was really waiting for her at the corner, and when she saw Chen Yifan coming, she quickly checked around and found that her sister did not come.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, grabbed Chen Yifan's hand, and asked eagerly: "Chen Yifan, are you really going to go on the expedition?" β
"Yes, in three days."
"Isn't it dangerous to go to war? Is it going to die? β
Chen Yifan smiled and nodded, stroking her head: "How can there be immortals in war, this time I went to war to protect Daliang and protect you from being harmed, so you can't be sad." β
Zhu Zhu looked at Chen Yifan with tears in her eyes, people will die in battle, although she doesn't know that kind of situation, but she has also heard that once you go to the battlefield, there are not a few, but thousands of people, maybe there is Chen Yifan, thinking of this, Zhu Zhu can't calm down.
"Yifan, can you not go?"
"You can't think like that, I won't go, who will protect you, Zhu'er, this is not the time to be petty." Chen Yifan stroked her head and smiled with concern.
Zhu Zhu pouted, wanting to cry very much, and the thought that Chen Yifan might die made her feel uncomfortable, as if countless knives were cutting her heart.
"But...... But....... β
"Don't worry, I won't die, if you want my life, they can't do it, you can't worry about me, you still have to worry about the safety of the enemy." Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Chen Yifan suddenly hugged Zhu Zhu and gently patted her back.
Zhu'er quieted down excitedly, leaned on Chen Yifan's shoulder obediently, and nodded gently.
The two hugged for a long time and comforted for a long time, Zhu Zhu went back, returned to the room, and cried alone, Chen Yifan had no choice but to look at Zhu Zhu's crying back.
After Zhu Zhu left, it was the old boy, he came, looked at Chen Yifan, his eyes became very playful, as if to say, I have seen everything, you kid, it's over.
Chen Yifan leaned against the wall, the two sat down, hugged each other's knees, and the old boy said, "Boy, it's time to go on the expedition." β
"Yes, I'm going to go on an expedition, I didn't think it would be me." Chen Yifan didn't expect that he would go by himself, thinking that he was just a bastard, this kind of thing, just let others go, why should he pull himself.
"You can't run, you are His Majesty's person, he will definitely let you go, as for us old guys, we are old, we can't move, and we don't want to move."
Caught in a memory, the old boy looked at the front with a blurred gaze, as if he remembered something far away.
came back to his senses and looked at Chen Yifan: "Boy, go this time, are you prepared?" β
"Well, it's just Datang, it's not worth worrying about." Chen Yifan said leisurely, a Tang Dynasty is not enough to move him, even if the other party is menacing, he is not afraid at all, but happy and excited.
"Young is good, hot-blooded, warlike, don't underestimate the Tang Dynasty, that's not an ordinary army, be careful."
"I know, I don't underestimate anyone, but no one can underestimate me." Chen Yifan replied confidently.
