"Nanyang Mansion fell, our army was defeated, and the country was humiliated, if we don't hold ourselves accountable, the armies will follow suit, and the country will not be a country!"

When the military secretary of the Sixth Division, Shangshu Xingkun, heard that the general of the auxiliary state not only shirked his responsibility, but instead demanded a thick burial of the defeated imperial soldiers and others, and even suspected of exculpating Liang Xuanfeng, he immediately refuted it loudly.

"Your Majesty, our army in Nanyang Mansion City has been wiped out, and the general of the auxiliary country has military power, and it is difficult to escape the blame, and the generals of the General's Mansion are guilty of dereliction of duty! Ask for severe punishment! "Marquis Lin also took the opportunity to make trouble.

Hearing that the military department Shangshu and Lin Houye sang and harmonized with them, the general of the auxiliary country looked extremely ugly.

Xingkun, the secretary of the military department, is a royalist, although he is the secretary of the military department, but his power has been greatly reduced, and it is difficult to influence the military department. Marquis Lin is the elder brother of the current Empress Dowager and the uncle of the current little emperor, not to mention that part of the forbidden military power in his hands cannot be underestimated.

The general of the auxiliary state is a close confidant of Prime Minister Wei Wendao and controls the military power of the whole country.

Now the two are trying to use this incident to bring down this powerful general and weaken Wei Wendao's power.

The auxiliary generals have been able to hold the military power for so many years, but they are not vegetarians. has the support of the prime minister, and he is not a wine bag and a rice bag.

In the face of the attack of Shangshu and Marquis Lin of the Ministry of War, they immediately stood up and ridiculed each other, and soon the two sides began to dispute and prevaricate on the issue of responsibility, which made them red-faced.

"That's enough—"

Although Wei Wendao was a powerful minister, he did not have the heart of disobedience, and the rebellion of the empire had threatened his interests, and seeing that they did not contribute to the country, but blamed each other, he immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded.

The two officials who shirked the blame and the general of the auxiliary state all closed their mouths when they heard the prime minister's reprimand.

"The prime minister is angry!"

"Jia Yushi, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Wei Wendao took advantage of this to calm down, picked up the teacup, and seemed to have no intention of setting his eyes on Jia Mingjia Yushi, who had never spoken, he was the mastermind of Prime Minister Wei, and he often gave advice to Prime Minister Wei, and he was like a god.

"The minister thinks that what Marquis Lin and the general said makes sense."

After hearing Jia Ming's words, Wei Wendao's expressionless face showed a trace of displeasure, you are in the mud, and you must not be offended.

"Although what you said has made sense, my subordinates believe that the top priority now is not to hold accountable, but to negotiate a charter to deal with the thief army."

"Nanyang Mansion City has fallen, once the rebels continue like this, not only will the king be shaken, but the world will also be uneasy, and I think that a large army should be sent to conquer it as soon as possible."

Jia Ming did not continue to talk to the mud, but changed his words and grasped the key point of the current problem, that is, how they should deal with the defeat of Nanyang Mansion City.

After hearing Jia Ming's words, Wei Wendao's eyes showed satisfaction.

"What Jia Yushi said is reasonable, who should the general of the auxiliary country send to quell the rebellion?" Prime Minister Wei looked at the general again.

When the general of the auxiliary country heard this, he fell into deep thought, if it was on weekdays, he would definitely recommend his sons and nephews to lead the army to the expedition in order to reap the merits of war.

But now the officers and soldiers have lost their troops, their morale is low, and even the frontal battlefield has been defeated by the rebels, and if the person he recommended loses the battle again, he will also be implicated, maybe he will hand over the military power, and even be scolded by the prime minister.

The general was also a brave and good fighter back then, but the years did not forgive, and now he has become an old man, and he no longer has the courage to go into battle in person.

The general was silent for a long time, and did not speak, and for a moment the temple fell into an eerie silence.

"Can't the general even send a man to command the army?"

Wei Wendao asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Prime Minister, now our army is making every effort to deal with the invasion of the Tatars in the north, and the elite of each county has been requisitioned, and it happens that Ansan County is in a military vacuum, so that the anti-thieves have an opportunity——"

"The Tatars don't last long, and once the autumn passes, they will naturally leave. Now it is in the stage of strategic confrontation, and no one can help anyone! ”

"Prime Minister, there is no need for so many elite troops in the north at present, let the two elite guards of Ansan County enter from Yunxi County, and inform Lan Bowen to flank the anti-thieves." The full establishment of one guard in the empire is 5,500 people, and the two guard regiments are equivalent to 10,000 household heads.

Wei Wendao thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, from the northern battlefield, even if it was day and night, it would take three months to reach Ansan County, and even if he arrived, he couldn't immediately enter the battle, he had to recharge his strength before he could enter the battle.

It's been too long, and I'm afraid Ansan is in danger.

"Isn't there anything else to call on?"

Wei Wendao stared at the general of the auxiliary state, and the general was silent for a moment.

"As early as the fall of Pingcheng County, the military department received information from the Imperial City Division, and since then the military department has begun to make a series of deployments against the anti-thieves, Prime Minister, you know."

Wei Wendao had already learned the news of this anti-thief through the intelligence of the Imperial City Division, and the center had already secretly begun to arrange, but he didn't expect the anti-thief to attack Nanyang Mansion City so quickly.

"Well, I know that."

The general then revealed an important news: "On the surface, the two guard regiments of Ansan County are being dispatched, but the two legions of Lianzhou County have entered Yunxi County, and according to calculations, they will enter the territory of Ansan County today." ”

"Where's the exact time?!"

The general glanced at the audience and continued: "Prime Minister, at the latest, in five days, you will enter Ansan County. ”

"Who is the general?" Wei Cheng cares about whose hands this team is.

"There is no commander yet, and the two guards will each command the men and horses of the headquarters."

When Wei Wendao heard it, he knew what he meant.

"Do you have a recommended general?"

"Prime Minister, I have a recommendation."

"General, please speak."

"General Yuwenshu has always known soldiers, and has been trained at the border for several years, if Yuwenshu leads the army, he can wipe out the thief army in one fell swoop." The general spoke.

This general is his son-in-law, a famous general of the empire, and a famous person.

After hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Marquis Lin were all in color, but they supported the little emperor.

They wanted to stop it, they didn't want them to make great contributions, and they wanted to further weaken Wei Wendao's military power.

"Yuwen Shu is the commander of the headquarters to resist the Tatar cavalry in the north, and he must not be transferred back,"

"At a time when the country is in danger, General Yu Wenshu led the army to the danger to conquer the thief army, which is enough to demonstrate the determination of our dynasty and the monarchs and ministers to unite and pacify the thief army!"

Marquis Lin still wanted to stand up and say something, but Wei Wendao didn't want to listen to their argument anymore, so he waved his hand directly and stopped him from speaking.

"Order Yuwenshu's headquarters to stand by, and let Yuwenshu go to Ansan County alone to command the two guards sent by the imperial court. Lan Bowen is responsible for dispatching grain, grass and ordnance, and must pacify the thief army in Ansan County within a time limit."
