Chapter 275: 'Old Prime Minister' Wang Meng
The Blue Continent, the former Qin Kingdom, the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, the old prime minister and several old generals have all woken up and are now waiting outside the palace!"
An old man with a strange appearance preached to the dragon robe sitting on it, looking at his costume, he looked like a wizard dancing a god. Perhaps, this is the custom of the descendants on the grassland~
"Then what do you have to say, why don't you hurry up and invite a few adults in!"
I don't know what the identities of the few people outside are, anyway, as soon as they heard such a report from the person below, the emperor sitting at the top shouted angrily with a look of infacy. I didn't even care about the majestic and domineering appearance on weekdays, and I directly burst out of the dirty mouth.
"Yes, yes, yes~!"
The old man seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, so when he heard the roar of his master, he didn't panic, and hurriedly walked out of the main hall to invite the old prime minister and several 'old generals'.
"Participate in the majesty xià~"
Standing in the hall full of ministers, a scribe's robe and several old men wearing fish scale and large leaf armor suddenly walked in. Although the beards and hair of these people are pale, they know from their dragon and tiger steps and blazing eyes that these old people are not easy to mess with!
And seeing these old men striding into the hall, the ministers on both sides, whether they are modest and cautious on weekdays, or arrogant on weekdays, have leaned towards both sides, for no other reason, these old men are the first generation of the former Qin people to do their best to 'protect' a few remaining strategists and generals, they have won the faith of the entire pre-Qin people in terms of merit and ability, and these people in power have also grown up listening to their deeds.
They deserve respect! And, it must be respected! Otherwise, it is disloyalty to the former Qin, and it is unfilial piety to the ancestors of the former Qin!
"A few old adults, please hurry up, this king is polite!"
The emperor above didn't know whether he was pretending or posing, or whether he sincerely respected these old men, or both. He was sitting on the throne. He actually stood up and bowed to the old men below.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, don't dare, don't dare!"
The old man in the scribe's robe in front looked at the emperor's salute, and waved his hand and said that he didn't dare. While smiling and stroking his pale beard. However, looking at his appearance, he knows that in his cognition, the emperor's gift is very appropriate and worthwhile!
"Although the emperor's ability is mediocre, he is an experienced person. With the help of the old man, it is enough to keep it! ”
It's not that this old man is not confident, it's not that the old man's ability is mediocre, it's really too big in the world. Back then, they followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and they were at their peak to be able to bite off such a piece of remote meat on the body of the Han Empire. In the end, it was broken through by the main force of the Han army, and then most of Liangzhou behind them was lost, and they could only live by guarding Xiping County and Jincheng County alone. Now that they are all old, the Han Empire doesn't know how far it has come after so many years of development, and now they can only look forward to keeping it right~
"Boss, what do you think of the current civil war?"
The emperor seemed to believe in the old man. The first time we met, I asked without saying a word. And looking at his earnest form, it is obvious that he has been looking forward to the old man's advice for a long time.
"Your Majesty, now that the form is severe, please let General Ma Chi, who is stationed in Xiping County, quickly retreat the main force to Jincheng City, the south gate of Jincheng County, and quickly point the elite men and horses out of the capital, go against the trend, and go out of Jinfeng Ling, no, the front stationed in Bai Pingcheng to prepare to resist the enemy!"
When the old man heard the emperor's question, his expression that was still smiling just now changed instantly. With his hands arched, he said with a stern and anxious face. Today's Qianqin is in turmoil. So an army of 30,000 people was formed, and then led by the general Ma Chi, and then the defenders of Xiping County were assembled to quell the chaos, although now the general trend has been decided. But there are still remnants of a small department who are in turmoil, so Ma Chi is also working hard to suppress bandits in Xiping.
And what about Jincheng County? Close to the national capital, each province has elite soldiers, and the national capital Jincheng is only a little out of the soldiers and horses to quell the chaos. Therefore, the soldiers and horses should be deployed as they should be armed, and the garrison of the national capital Jincheng is still prosperous.
On the way, the old man who learned about this situation was surprised. Immediately, I thought of the Han Kingdom, which lived in the northwest of Xiliang. To say that the Han Kingdom obviously left room when the empire collapsed, and it is not clear to run to the northwest, you must know that the fertile soil of Liaodong was also grasped by the supporters of the Han family at that time, where the land was abundant, there were many soldiers and horses, and the attack surface was small, no worse than the situation here. It is even said that the situation is so good that it is better than the situation here, but at that time, Emperor Han Ling was running here with all his heart, and it is difficult to say that there is no useful information hidden here!
With the accumulation of the Han Kingdom over the years, the recovery of national strength is naturally fast, and they will definitely not be willing to live in the northwest of Xiliang. In that case, they at the Xiliang exit will be the first dish that King Han has ever spoken!
"Old Prime Minister Wang, there is no movement in the Han Kingdom now. Besides, how could their king send an army after Naw? ”
Ancient people attached great importance to these days, and would rather lose some good time than violate the rules of their ancestors, so Meng Li's big wedding confused the monarch of the former Qin.
"My majesty, alas! The Han people lived in the northwest, and they didn't want to regain their former glory for a day, but they had been burying their heads in development because of this turmoil. Now, the time has come, how can their 600-year forbearance be delayed because of the emperor's acceptance of the queen! Besides, where is this emperor in such a hurry, just think about it, it's a trick! ”
The angry old man patted his thigh and said to the king above. That angry look made everyone present feel it.
"This, the secretary of the military department, will quickly issue an order for Ma Chi to lead the army to retreat quickly! There must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
After hearing the analysis of the old prime minister, although the emperor's ability is mediocre, he is not indistinguishable from wrong, and this is not the time to emphasize military power. If Ma Chi was wiped out all the way because of this, it would really be a big loss, so he did not hesitate to overturn his order and change his order.
"Yes!"
Hearing the words of the old prime minister, the military department Shangshu also knew the severity of the situation. Their rebellion is about to be put down, not to mention the new emperor of Han who was born immediately and ascended the throne strongly? So although he is old, he still has to run for the sake of their former Qin's national fortunes!
"Old Prime Minister, who should be sent as a general in this army that is going against the trend?"
The news has been conveyed all the way, and it is useless to worry. At this time, the emperor asked about the situation of the other army.
"Lord Wang Meng, please let Ben General go to defend against the enemy!"
Before the old man could elaborate, one of the old generals who had been silent next to him stood up and said to the old man. (To be continued.) )
