Everyone in the imperial study moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen, wanting to hear the opinions of this rising new famous general of Dayan. Ji Qingchen didn't dare to make a big deal on such an issue, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "It doesn't seem to say how many casualties our army has?" Is this something that we can understand as if our army in Yizhou did not suffer losses? The reason why General Li retreated to Yizhou City was to lure the Yi army to advance and retreat? ”

"The old man thinks it's possible." Bai Jin said, "With Li Muzhi's ability, how can he have the ability of the 200,000 army of the Lingnan Yi tribe?" ”

Just now, everyone was misled by the text on the military situation, and the authorities did not find this problem, and now Ji Qingchen broke a sentence, and everyone thought that it seemed to be such a reason, and there was a faint smile on their faces.

Similarly, Emperor Yan was also taken aback by this report. Now after Ji Qingchen's analysis, he felt that with Li Muzhi's ability to command the army, coupled with the tens of thousands of troops in Yizhou, it was indeed not possible to defeat so quickly, and there must be a mystery in this.

Because the Lingnan Yi army cannot be compared with the Liguo Iron Cavalry and the Beirong Jing Cavalry.

"Well, it does make sense." Emperor Yan also nodded and said, "So, wait and see what happened in Yizhou?" ”

"It's time to wait for a new battle report to determine the next step, but the previous decision to allocate 40,000 soldiers to the Nanyi Governor's Mansion still has to be followed." Prime Minister Pei Wenju said.

"This time, the Lingnan Yi tribe suddenly raised troops to attack Yizhou, which we did not expect, but there is General Li in Yizhou, and Weichen is not afraid of the 200,000 fierce army of the Lingnan Yi tribe, but he is very worried about Xishu!" Liu Pingyuan said worriedly.

"Yes, Weichen is also worried about Xishu's actions, the Lingnan Yi clan and Xishu were very close before!" Xue Ju also agreed and said, "Of course, there is also an Eastern Wilderness here. However, judging from the current national strength, the Eastern Wilderness is not bold enough to oppose Dayan. But Xishu is difficult to say, Xishu Jianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this time they are sending troops to offend our Dayan, in the future, Dayan wants to take revenge on them, with the strong city of Jianmen Pass, they can also turn us away. ”

"Ningzhou has the blue wolf cavalry and Liu Donglou, as well as His Royal Highness King Ning, the Yi clan has the Eighth Prince and General Li, and Caozhou has the Nine Highnesses and 200,000 troops, so the defense of Xishu is really weak, and we need to make a deployment." Bai Jin said.

"Weichen also thinks so, with the talent of His Royal Highness King Lu, sitting in Xizhou to defend Xishu, it is indeed a bit powerless!" Cui Jingsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said.

Half of what he said was a thing, but there was obviously a denigration of Ji Ping's inadequacy in martial arts and strategy. is a bit suspicious of giving Ji Ping eye medicine to Emperor Yan.

"Indeed, His Royal Highness King Lu is a little lacking in military affairs!" Guo Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, echoed, obviously wanting to add another fire.

"It's really time to make a solemn arrangement for Xishu!" The head of the household, Tang Jian, fell into the stone road of the well.

Similarly, the military book Shangshu Liu Pingyuan also nodded on the side and said, "Xishu and the Lingnan Yi tribe have long colluded, this time the Lingnan Yi tribe rebelled against Dayan, we can't help but guard against Xu Zhao in Xishu!" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Prime Minister Pei Wenju asked, "The old minister also thinks that it is necessary to send a capable general to Xizhou." ”

The Privy Council envoy, the prime minister and the four great scholars suggested that a cadre should be sent to the Xizhou Governor's Office, obviously wanting to divide Ji Ping's military power. As Ji Wen's confidants, Wang You, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhao Deyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, are silent, not that they don't want to speak for Ji Ping, but now the question is whether they can be useful if they have something to say for Ji Ping? It is useless to offend Prime Minister Pei Wenju and Privy Envoy Bai Jin and others because of this matter, he Wang You is unwilling to do it, and Zhao Deyan is even more unwilling to offend people.

Therefore, now everyone has moved their eyes to Emperor Yan and wants to see what Emperor Yan has to say.

After all, the establishment of the four major governors and let his son control military affairs was Emperor Yan's own idea, and it was Emperor Yan's military reform in order to consolidate the power of the Great Yan Ji clan. For this plan, the Seven Great Families neither oppose nor support it, but they know very well in their hearts that if this plan is successfully implemented, the status of their Seven Great Families in Dayan will be much lower in the future. So they thought about stopping this plan before, but they didn't have time because the Beirong army went south, and now with the breakthrough of Xizhou, they naturally want to achieve their goals by dismantling Ji Ping's Xizhou Governor's Mansion.

But this also requires Emperor Yan to nod and agree!

For Ji Qingchen, from his point of view, he also felt that Dayan's deployment in Xizhou was too weak, not to mention the limited troops, in terms of the leadership level of Ji Ping, Ji Ying, and Ji Yong, they were indeed not the opponents of Chen Wenbao, the famous general of Xishu. Chen Wenbao is a descendant of Chen Qingzhi, but he was the key person who made Emperor Yan collapse the Xishu Sword Gate three years ago!

Dayan can't underestimate him.

"Three years ago, I commanded the army to recover Xishu, but I didn't expect it to be broken in the Xishu Jianmen Pass, at that time, there was a general named Chen Wenbao in the Xishu army, which made me like it very much, and it was a chat about leading soldiers to fight." Emperor Yan recalled, seeing that everyone in the imperial study was a little puzzled, he continued, "This time Xishu wants to raise troops to rebel against Dayan, with the shrewdness of Xu Zhao, the king of Shu, he will definitely use Chen Wenbao as the commander of the army, so Ji Ping is naturally not Chen Wenbao's opponent." But who should we send to Xizhou to have the strength to compete with Chen Wenbao? ”

When Emperor Yan asked, everyone was stunned.

Just now, everyone was thinking about how to divide the governor of Xizhou, and cracked Emperor Yan's plan to centralize military power, but now Emperor Yan asked them to recommend suitable generals, and they didn't dare to speak out. After all, after arriving in Xizhou, he faced Chen Wenbao after Chen Qingzhi, if he won the battle, this would be justified, but if he lost the battle, this crime would be big, maybe Emperor Yan was angry, and it might be the crime of killing his head!

"Does Liu Aiqing have any suitable candidates?" Emperor Yan asked Liu Pingyuan, the secretary of the military department.

"Weichen, no!" Liu Pingyuan said in a low voice.

"What about the Prime Minister?" Emperor Yan asked.

"Neither did the old minister." Pei Wenju replied that as the prime minister of Dayan, he is only in charge of government affairs and is unwilling to meddle in military affairs, and this is the real reason why he has been able to sit firmly in the prime minister of Dayan for decades. Because Pei Wenju knows very well that Emperor Yan is willing to let him be a minister, but he will not let him be a minister, once he intervenes in military affairs and wants to combine political power and military power, I am afraid that no matter how talented he is, Emperor Yan will not rest assured of him, and will not let him stay in the position of prime minister.

"What about the Privy Counsellor?" Emperor Yan asked Bai Jindao.

Bai Jin pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The old man can't think of Da Yan, who still has such the ability to fight against Chen Wenbao." ”

This is the saddest thing about Dayan at the moment.

The older generation of famous generals can no longer ride horses and carry guns to lead the army, but the new generation of generals is very weak, and there are few decent talents available.

"What about you?" Emperor Yan asked everyone in the imperial study, his tone was already a little displeased.

They all bowed their heads and did not speak.

"Tell me about it!" Emperor Yan said directly to Ji Qingchen. This made Ji Qingchen very helpless, Pei Wenju, who was the prime minister, Liu Pingyuan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Bai Jin, who was the privy envoy, did not have a suitable candidate, he was a prince who had been in King's Landing for less than half a year, and he was still in Caozhou for two months. But Emperor Yan was the last one to ask him, if he wanted to say no, he would make Emperor Yan angry, which he didn't dare to do and didn't want to do, so he could only ponder for a while, and said, "Erchen thinks that Xue Shilang of the military department can take on this great responsibility!" ”

When Xue Ju heard Ji Qingchen's words, he snorted, and the green tendons on his head began to jump violently. How many soldiers and horses does Xizhou have now, how scummy the combat power is, and how stupid the generals are. Now he is still dealing with Chen Wenbao, a fierce general. If I go to Xizhou, wouldn't it be no different from falling into a fire pit? What happened to this King of Northern Liao today? How can you recommend yourself? Didn't you offend him in the past? Xue Ju didn't dare to show dissatisfaction with Ji Qingchen, so he could only muttered in his heart.

"Well, that's a good choice!" Emperor Yan said.

This almost made Xue Ju vomit blood!

"Your Majesty—" Xue raised his head, and was about to say that he was incompetent, but Emperor Yan had already spoken, "Xue Aiqing, please take a seat, I know that you have to take the initiative to ask for help, but this matter still needs us to think carefully." ”

God! Xue Ju was about to cry, he got up because he wanted to shirk this big responsibility, but he didn't take the initiative to ask for help! But now that Emperor Yan said so, he could only say with a bitter face, "No! Xue Ju is determined to live up to His Majesty's expectations! ”

At this moment, in addition to sympathizing with Xue Bao, everyone could only secretly sigh that Ji Qingchen's murder was bloodless. got rid of Xue Ju so lightly, and he was so righteous and awe-inspiring.

It's hard for anyone to do that!

Because even if everyone dares to recommend others, Emperor Yan can only agree. As the son of Emperor Yan and the new famous general of the Great Yan Imperial Family who defeated Beirong, Emperor Yan naturally attached great importance to Ji Qingchen's suggestion. But they don't necessarily have this treatment.

"Xue Aiqing is willing to go to Xizhou to defend against Chen Wenbao of Xishu, Wang Aiqing, how do you think his position should be arranged?" Emperor Yan said to Wang You, the secretary of the ministry.

As the confidant of the second prince Ji Ping, although Wang You did not speak for Ji Ping in the resolution just now, he and Ji Ping were in the same boat, and he really didn't want Xue Ju to divide Ji Ping's military power after he arrived in Xizhou, so he stood up respectfully and said, "The Xizhou Governor's Mansion is still lacking a governor, and Weichen thinks that Xue Shilang will be the deputy governor of the Xizhou Governor's Mansion with the title of the military department, so that Xue Shilang can not only manage the affairs of the military department, but also sit in the Xizhou Governor's Mansion to deter Chen Wenbao of Xishu." ”

What position, as long as a few "deputy" words, this position is too watery.

Especially in this newly established Governor's Mansion, there is a Governor, a long history, Sima and the army, as well as the cavalry and infantry generals, these positions have already divided the power of the Governor, how can you have anything to do with the Deputy Governor?

But Wang You's Ministry of Officials is still in charge, and since ancient times, the promotion and transfer of officials have been under the control of the Ministry of Officials. And now it is Emperor Yan's inquiry to Wang You, in the end, is this position not yet determined, who dares to have a grievance with Xue Juming here?

Isn't this looking for death?

Therefore, when Wang You said this, everyone was silent.

Not saying anything is tantamount to acquiesce.

Emperor Yan said, "Well, then so be it!" Xue Aiqing, I will give you three days to prepare, and after three days, when the Privy Council makes arrangements for military affairs in Xizhou, you will leave for Xizhou to take office. ”

"No!" Xue raised his head and took the order, but his heart was already dead.

Then Emperor Yan issued an order to the Privy Council, so that the Privy Council could make a thorough military affairs for Xishu
