Chapter 37: Pang Yi rebelled against Ling Fengxi
The emperor frowned deeply, he was extremely conflicted in his heart now, he hoped that Qin Huai and Du Yuan would not get along, and he also hoped that the two of them would retreat from the enemy with one heart and one mind, and the charm of this was probably only understood by him as a monarch.
The Golden Dragon Dynasty can be maintained so far, relying on the balance of power, such as Qin Huai and Du Yuan, the two of them each control hundreds of thousands of troops, and the discord between the two produces a balance, but if the two are very good, or united, it is a great threat to the imperial power, once the imperial power falls, the imperial court will be finished.
The last time Pang Yi was stripped of his military power, it was a sacrifice made for the sake of balance, the emperor had to send him back to his hometown in order to get the hundreds of thousands of elites under Pang Yi's command, only by controlling the army in his own hands, he would be relieved, and he could also slightly restrain Qin Huai, Du Yuan and others, this is the emperor's thoughts.
Looking at the two noisy people in the main hall, the emperor finally coughed lightly: "Don't argue between the two Aiqing, I think it's better to leave it to the ministers to decide." β
Qin Huai and Du Yuan turned around at the same time, looked up and bowed their hands slightly: "Obey the order." β
In fact, the so-called decision by the ministers is the standing line that the imperial court has always implemented, in modern terms, it is to vote or vote by show of hands; Whenever there is a major event that cannot be decided, the emperor will implement this trick, which seems to be sparse and ordinary, but in fact, the emperor himself does not want to offend people, and kicks this hot potato to the civil and military officials, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with him.
Hearing the emperor's words, Qin Huai couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he was also looking forward to standing in line, because the result of standing in line was definitely his victory, which was beyond doubt, not to mention how many people in this hall were his protΓ©gΓ©s, as far as this matter was concerned, who was more suitable to go on the expedition, I believe that the civil and military officials knew.
Since there is going to be a war, of course, it is hoped to win, and between Qin Huai and Du Yuan, fools know that Qin Huai must be more powerful, only those with ill intentions will choose Du Yuan, and this kind of person is only a very few!
Du Yuan clenched his teeth, what he hated most was this kind of standing in line, because he felt that it was unfair, how many years, he had not won once, in the final analysis, it was because his soldiers were all new soldiers, and he could not get the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, everyone thought that only Qin Huai could win the battle, and ignored him.
"Your Majesty, the last general has admitted defeat, let's let the Taishi go on the expedition!"
Suddenly, Du Yuan said with a desperate expression.
He gave up!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, wasn't it still noisy just now, how could this be retreating again, it's really weird; But after thinking about it carefully, everyone seems to understand a little, looking back on the past, Du Yuan has never won once, the last time was with Pang Yi, and this time it was with Qin Huai, then there is no possibility of winning, and it is not surprising to give up directly, it is really a helpless move.
"Okay, since General Du voluntarily gave up, then the matter of counterinsurgency will be handed over to the Taishi, and you need to do your best to assist, and you can't slack off."
The Emperor said.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in response.
The emperor stood up, looked at Qin Huai and said, "Master, I don't know when you are going to leave?" β
Now that the marshal of the expedition has been decided, the next step is to go on the specific matters of the expedition.
"Back to Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, and after the old minister orders his troops and horses, he will immediately go to the battle!"
Qin Huai arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister is busy with military affairs, so he will retire first." β
"Wait, Master, please stay first."
At the moment when Qin Huai turned around, the emperor suddenly stopped him, and walked down the jade steps towards the hall.
Qin Huai didn't know why, but he still stopped and waited respectfully.
"Taishi, I heard that you have trained another elite, but is this a matter of this?"
The emperor came to Qin Huai and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Qin Huai frowned deeply, he didn't understand why the emperor asked like this, he just felt that something was wrong in his heart, I remember that last year, the emperor was jealous of the elite battalion soldiers under Huang Daoyi, and designed to hand it over to Pang Yi, and finally fell into his hands, and now when he asks, he naturally has a deep meaning, but he can't understand it now.
"Your Majesty, the old minister did form an elite, but."
Before Qin Huai finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know, it's a new soldier; It doesn't matter, this time I will bring them to the northern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, and they will slowly become elites. β
"Yes."
Qin Huai arched his hand, he had a very unpleasant feeling in his heart, the emperor must have taken a fancy to this elite again.
But Qin Huai didn't understand a little, although Ling Feng's soldiers were called elite battalions, they were actually recruits who had just been formed, which could also make the emperor greedy?
"Okay, you go, I wait for the good news of your triumph!"
"Yes."
North Campus Field.
Ling Feng's tent.
"General, there's news, there's news."
With the sound of footsteps outside the tent, Xiao Anzi hurriedly walked in, and shouted as he walked.
Ling Feng was holding a long sword in his hand and waving it, and when he heard it, he raised his eyes and asked, "What news?" β
Xiao Anzi said with a smile: "General, there is news in the north, Pang Yi is reversed!" β
"Really?"
Ling Feng put away his sword and stood up, and said in surprise: "Is he really the opposite?" β
"It's true!" Xiao Anzi said: "The little eunuch in the palace just told me that this morning the Hengwu general Wei Ning entered the palace to report that Pang Yi led the people to meet in Tuyin County and rebelled. β
Ling Feng's expression was excited, he once again confirmed his father's dream, Pang Yi really rebelled, and it was commanded by Taishi Qin Huai, this was exactly the same as the dream, no difference.
"Here's your chance!"
Ling Feng whispered and sat down after putting down his long sword.
"Hey, even if we want to go on an expedition, it doesn't have to be our new barracks, did Your Majesty mention that our new barracks will fight?" Ling Feng looked at Xiao Anzi and asked.
If the recruit battalion does not fight, then everything is equal to zero, and you can only watch the play on the side.
In Ling Feng's heart, he really wanted to go out and fight, only in this way would his strength quickly become stronger, and he would be able to deal with the coming troubled times!
Xiao Anzi thought for a while and said, "The eunuch who delivered the message said that His Majesty finally mentioned letting our elite battalion go out with the army, but as for the other recruits, he didn't say it. β
"That'll do."
Ling Feng said: "Your Majesty's golden words, there will be no change, you hurry up and pass this news to the officers and men in the battalion, so that they can step up their training and prepare to go on the expedition!" β
"No."
Xiao Anzi replied, and then withdrew from the big tent.
Lu Wen was handling official business, and at this time she raised her head and smiled: "General, Your Majesty only said that let our elite battalion fight, and if the other recruits and soldiers get this news, I am afraid they will go crazy." β
"Then we don't care, who made us elite."
Ling Feng smiled, looked at Lu Wen and said: "These **** first put aside the things in hand, train the soldiers with all their might, it is best to train in the state of actual combat, and strive to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, tell the soldiers, don't be afraid of hardship, sweat more on the training ground, and only then can there be less blood on the battlefield, now work harder, and it is worth it to exchange for the chance of survival." β
"General, with all due respect."
Lu Wen arched his hand and said: "Our five thousand elites have far surpassed the soldiers of other generals, since we are going to go on the expedition, why not let the soldiers rest for a few days and recuperate their spirits to prepare for the upcoming battle?" β
