Chapter 5: The Emperor's Heart
At the same time, on the Zhongzhou side, above the Dragon Court, the courtiers were discussing fiercely with each other. The young Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair, his right hand lightly pressed his temple, and his brows furrowed as he watched the arguing ministers below.
"On the sage, the minister has his own music. "Lieutenant Commander of the Soldier stood aside and bowed to the Son of Heaven.
"Speak. β
"Back to the saint, the war in Sandalwood Prefecture is very urgent, and it is urgent to send troops to help, and the barbarians have gathered the strength of the whole clan to attack, and the disparity is almost double, and it is difficult for Sandalwood Prefecture to resist."
Taking a deep breath, Lang Zhongling said again, "If the Sandalwood Prefecture is broken, the barbarian army will drive straight into the hinterland of my Central Plains, and then the Great Qi will be in danger!"
"Please send troops to the Holy Majesty and quickly reinforce Sandalwood Prefecture. Lang Zhong ordered.
The Son of Heaven rubbed his forehead and did not speak.
"The minister thinks that this matter is too much involved, and it needs to be considered again. Seeing this, the first person on the left below immediately said.
"Right Minister! The war is urgent, and in the face of the lifeless attack of the barbarian army's entire 1.5 million troops, the Sandalwood Prefecture is more dangerous every day, and it cannot be delayed any longer. Lang Zhongling looked excited and said to the old man in brocade on the opposite side.
"The matter of sending troops really needs to be decided as soon as possible, and Zhongzhou still has a million troops, and all the aid of Sandalwood can solve the crisis of Sandalwood State. β
After a pause, the right minister continued, "But if the other three levels also attack us at this time, with the strong strength shown by the three forces this time, the three levels of defense are not afraid of the enemy, but they are also slightly difficult. And even if the million-strong army rushed to the aid of Sandalwood, it was impossible to retreat in a short period of time. If the other three parties attack again at this time. At that time, we will be truly fighting on all four sides at the same time, so that the sandalwood state will be fine for the time being, but the pressure will come to the other three levels. β
"I understand the meaning of the right minister, but even if this is a plan between them and the barbarians, we can't just stand still. β
"Reinforcements must be certain, but they can't all be sent like this, and the other three levels are also under pressure, and reinforcements must be dispersed. "Right Xiangdao.
"Oh, then according to what the right minister said, how to send troops?" Tianzi, who had not spoken, said with his eyes lit up and his face appreciative.
"I don't know how to send troops, but the saint must have made a decision in his heart. With a roll of his eyes, he smiled.
To be able to sit in the right position, it will not be a rice bucket, seeing the appearance of the saint, how can he not know, it turns out that the saint has already examined the overall situation and understood everything, so he came to push the boat down the river and put the load.... Belch... The opportunity to perform is given to the Holy One. Hehe, the old man is worthy of being the right minister of Daqi, this hand is raised in seconds. I want to do a good job in my heart, keep it up, come on!
The more you think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, as if she has seen a brighter future for herself, and she almost laughed out loud in court....
On the dragon chair, the Son of Heaven looked at the red-faced right phase below, with a strange expression. If I want to talk about it, I still need to ask you? I don't know if it's tiring to talk? Also, if you smile so brightly before the crisis is resolved, it can't be an undercover agent sent by the monkeys, right?
In a few seconds, countless possibilities flashed in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and a string of rainbow cats and blue rabbits surged with three thousand questions. Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it, I'm too tired, find a time to make a random reason to kill him, alas, there are always Diao people who want to harm me.
Shaking his head, the Son of Heaven got up and said, "Spread my will, divide 400,000 troops and rush to Youzhou to stand by, and the rest of the troops will be divided into three ways to reinforce the three passes." β
The ministers in the audience didn't react for a while, why did they go to Youzhou?
The Son of Heaven said with a smile on his face, "Again, I ordered King Mujing of Youzhou to fight as the generalissimo of Dingbei, with 700,000 troops, and immediately lead troops to reinforce Sandalwood Prefecture." β
700,000? Where did it come from, etc.! The ministers seemed to suddenly remember something they had overlooked.
A few years ago, for some reason, the prince angered Long Yan and was punished to the treacherous Youzhou, and when he left, the saint ordered that blood is thicker than water after all, so he selected 300,000 farmers to help him take care of it....
Originally.... Only then did everyone understand that the Holy One had already calculated all this, a full 700,000.... When the reinforcements arrive, won't it just be right to solve the danger of sandalwood!
Thinking of this, everyone in the audience was full of horror, it turned out that the Holy Lord had always been well aware of the movements of the Quartet, and had prepared a countermeasure in advance!
On the stage, the eyes of this son of heaven were surging, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile, the Quartet forces have been planning for a long time, but they don't know that I deliberately walked into your pit, so that you feel that you have a chance. Barbarian civil strife? As early as when Taizu ruled the world, he had already helped you set the role, and did you keep you because you couldn't be destroyed? It's really naΓ―ve, without your four good friends constantly attacking Daqi to send warmth, how can the people of Daqi have a sense of crisis? How can they know that only when there is a country can there be a home? Only when the people always need Daqi and rely on Daqi, can Daqi last for a long time!
But what about you? As you grow stronger, you start to be dishonest. Then I can only take the initiative to expose my weaknesses to add fuel to your fire, so that you can't help yourself, so that I can become famous.
If you don't obey, then you can turn back into a child!" A hint of coldness flashed across the young emperor's face.
As for the more than 100,000 people in the Hanyu Pass..... Besides, when a large-scale war is waged with serious labor and money, the people always need a reason from the state, isn't it.....? The people will only know that it was these cruel aliens who killed their compatriots. When their homeland was about to be trampled on, the soldiers of Daqi were desperately fighting for them to protect them, how could they not be popular with the people? How could the army be invincible for the sake of their families behind them? Only when all the people returned to their hearts, in the rear of the rear air defense, those careerists buried deep in the empire did not dare to act rashly.
And the blood and darkness behind it will only remain in the heart of this emperor, and bury it in the earth with him after death!
Brother Huang, our plan, this is the only one, I didn't say. You.... Will you forgive me?
As the ruler of Great Qi, since I succeeded to the throne, I have been walking on thin ice everywhere, and I dare not slack off for a moment, for fear that Great Qi will decline because of me. Therefore, I must not allow any factor to shake the rule of the empire, and I am also sacrificing the ego to fulfill the ego.
If you are soft-hearted, more people will die. Only by looking at it from the height of me can we understand the hard work of the royal ancestors...
It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.
After hundreds of years of Daqi, it is now stormy...
Looking into the distance through the golden hall, the young emperor's eyes were full of tiredness...
At the same time, in the center of Youzhou, a mansion that is not magnificent, by the lotus pond in the backyard of the mansion, a tall man wearing a four-clawed black dragon robe stands with his hands in his hands.
Behind him, a middle-aged scribe who looked like a butler held the holy decree from Zhongzhou in both hands and bowed his head.
"Lord, there is a decree in the Holy Order. β
"I'll read it later, is there any news from the Northern Regions?"
"Lord Wang, the spies have reported that the barbarian army has arrived outside the state boundary of Sandalwood Prefecture. β
"What about Sandalwood?" The man's heart sank.
According to the front line, the barbarians raised troops suddenly, Hanyu Pass did not receive any news in advance, more than 100,000 people in the city did not have time to retreat, and they were all killed after the barbarians attacked and entered the city. Dead City!"
As soon as the butler's voice fell, countless pressures instantly spread over the entire backyard, and the violent energy set off a gust of wind! Feeling the terrifying aura around him, the butler's head lowered.
In the center of the wind, the man's fists were clenched, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his pupils flashed with a terrifying look of terror.
It lasted for nearly two hours before the housekeeper felt the pressure slowly subside.
