Early the next morning, before he arrived at the early dynasty, Xiao Jizi came into Kunning Palace to spread the word, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent Duofu's father-in-law to pass the word!" ”

Yuan Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Quick, please invite him in!" ”

Su Youyi sent people over at this time, most likely not for side matters, but for the most important matter in the DPRK at this moment.

Sure enough, Duofu came in from outside, and saw that Queen Zhou was changing clothes for Yuanzhi and hanging the pearls, so he made a salute, "The slave invites the emperor to be safe, and the queen is to be safe." ”

"Excuse me, what did the Queen Mother send you to do?"

Duofu raised his head and said: "The Queen Mother heard about the war in Jungger and knew that the situation was urgent and that the war was about to start. Specially sent servants to comfort the emperor, please don't worry too much, the civil and military generals in the court can negotiate a proper way to do this, and the emperor only needs to be good at collecting opinions. ”

The Queen Mother also said that Zhunger was just a mustard problem, and there was no need for her to send someone to comfort the emperor. It's just that I was worried that the emperor would inevitably be rusty if he hadn't experienced the war after he ascended the throne, so he sent a servant to persuade him. ”

Mustard plague.

Su Youyi actually used such contemptuous words to describe Zhunger, and Yuan Zhi could almost imagine her calm and contemptuous gaze, and his heart unconsciously settled down.

Since Su Youyi said that it was the problem of mustard moss, it must not be a concern.

Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said to Duofu: "I know, thank you for your care." ”

"Yes."

Duofu said: "If the emperor and the queen mother have no orders, the slave will go back to the queen mother first." ”

"Go ahead."

After Duofu left, Queen Zhou obviously felt that the aura around Yuanzhi was different, as if through the words conveyed by Duofu, the unique calm and relaxation on Su Youyi's body was transmitted to Yuanzhi.

During breakfast, Yuan Zhi sighed with her, "The queen mother is really intelligent, but I am afraid that she has long expected the panic in my heart, so Tete sent someone to comfort me early in the morning." In order to save face for me, not to say that I am young and incapable of coping, but to say that I have never experienced war and are unfamiliar. ”

In this way, the face is taken care of.

Queen Zhou silently wrote it down in her heart, and at the same time secretly admired Su Youyi, she never seemed to pay attention to speculation about people's hearts, and was always bright and frank-

But it seems that everyone has seen through it, and nothing is missing.

Sometimes Queen Zhou couldn't believe that such a person was not born in a big family, but was born and raised in the Lingnan countryside.

Maybe it's talented, right?

She meditated in her heart, and cheered herself on, maybe she was congenitally inferior to Su Youyi, but as long as she had the heart to learn, she would definitely have time......

In the early days of the dynasty, the atmosphere in the court was really very different from usual.

The generals dressed up in the court, adding a touch of solemnity to the always calm court, and even the ministers' breathing was much lighter than usual, and they didn't smell a cough.

"Yesterday, the old marquis of Jiangcheng sent someone into the palace to report that the army of Jungger was accommodated and funded by the Xinzhuang Ili tribe. I have sent 800 li to the governor of Xinzhuang, and ordered him to secretly investigate the situation of the Tusi of the Ili Ministry. ”

Yuan Zhi said, glancing downward, "Now I still want to hear what the other generals think, what do you think of this comeback battle of Jungar?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to ask Ying to go on the expedition!"

To Yuanzhi's surprise, as soon as his words fell, someone rushed to take the initiative to ask for help.

This sound was crisp and refreshing, and the sound was so loud that it had the potential of wind and thunder, which scared several nearby Wenchen a lot.

Yuanzhi looked closely, this person was the chief general of the Xishan Army.

The reason why his voice was so loud was because several people rushed to take the initiative to ask for help, and at this time, he took the lead, and several generals on the side were very unhappy, so they had to rush to echo.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to ask for help!"

"The minister is also willing!"

Not only Yuan Zhi was surprised, but also the ministers of the court and China were even more surprised.

Some of these generals have not fought for more than ten years, and they dare to ask for war one after another because they don't know how much they remember.

The most excessive thing is that some of them have white beards, and they are ashamed to go on the expedition?

I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand the heat and bumps halfway through, and I will have to sacrifice my life for the country.

This scene looked a little ridiculous, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Originally, they were worried that the military generals of the DPRK and China would not fight for many years, and they would definitely be cowardly in the war at this time, but they didn't expect that everyone was not timid, and they took the initiative to ask for help.

Motoji narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was strange.

When his gaze swept to the father and son of the Hou Shizi of Jiangcheng in the crowd, he suddenly realized.

He understood why all the generals took the initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition.

First, Su Youyi launched a military competition before, and the enthusiasm of those soldiers in training increased, but the enthusiasm of the empty people was increased but they were not allowed to vent their energy in the war, and the soldiers inevitably complained.

All armies are waiting for a battle to vent their excess energy.

Second, and the most important reason, that is, Bai Yan, who performed well in the military competition, won Su Youyi's blue eyes, and actually married Princess Gulun as the son of the Hou Mansion, which is an unimaginable grace!

That's just a ranking in the military competition, if you take the initiative to ask Ying to fight this time and be able to make war achievements, wouldn't you be able to get even more unimaginable benefits?

Therefore, all the generals rushed to be the first, lest they fall behind others and let this big advantage be taken away in vain.

Thinking of this, Motoji had a headache instead.

He was worried that no one would dare to fight, and now he felt that it was not a good thing that everyone wanted to fight, so which army should he let fight?

"The Book of War."

Yuan Zhi pressed his hand and motioned for them to stop arguing, and the military department Shangshu immediately stood up, "The minister is here." ”

"According to the news from the spies so far, how many people are there in the remnants of Jungar, how many soldiers are capable of fighting, and what is the combat strength?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of War showed a look of embarrassment, "Back to the emperor, I only know that the remnants of Jungger have a population of 50,000 to 70,000, as for how many soldiers can fight...... The minister has not yet received any definite information. As we all know, the steppe tribe is good at fighting, and before Jungar was beaten to the ground and fled, he was known as a soldier for all the people, and even young and middle-aged women could go to the battlefield with swords and swords, as for the combat power, ......"

He closed his eyes as if resigned.

Everyone understands that they don't even know the specific number of soldiers, how can they know the other party's combat strength?

The Art of War says that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, and now the first step is very unfavorable to the imperial court.

Yuanji's gaze returned to the generals, and he nodded at a young general standing behind, saying that he was young, at least thirty or forty years old.

"I remember the old general Pei Chengjun of Pei Chengjun, who led the army to participate in the battle against Jungar. How many years has General Pei been alive now? ”

The young general hurriedly said: "It's been fifteen years since I returned to the emperor. Chen is the youngest son of General Pei, and he has been a knight for fifteen years. ”

"Young son?"

Yuan Zhi frowned, "How many sons does General Pei have under his knees, why did he let the young son attack the knight?" ”

The young general looked up at Yuan Zhi, "Back to the emperor, the minister and the three elder brothers, all of whom went after the war fifteen years ago, and the first father only had one minister left, so he had to let the minister take the title." ”

The war fifteen years ago?

Isn't it the war against Jungar......

It seems that the first emperor's war against Junggar was not as easy as he imagined, and the father and son of the Pei family died with only one young son......

Yuan Zhi sighed with some emotion, "The Pei family is loyal and martyrful, and it is worth my gratitude." ”

He wanted to ask General Pei about his experience in fighting against the Jungar Department back then, but unfortunately General Pei had been dead for fifteen years, and his sons who went to the battlefield with him were also dead, leaving only the little General Pei in front of him.

Fifteen years ago, he was a teenager and had never even been on the battlefield, so what was the use of asking him?

At this moment, Su Zhiming stood up from the team of the civil officials on the left, "Your Majesty, rest assured, although we still don't know the enemy's strength and combat strength, I believe that specific news will come back soon." Now the top priority is to select a suitable chief general to lead the troops as soon as possible, as long as the selection of the chief general is determined, we can increase the number of troops or change the tactics according to the follow-up news, this is not a difficult task. ”

When Yuan Zhi heard this, he felt reasonable, so he looked at the group of generals, "I understand the generals' desire to serve the imperial court, and I just hope that everyone can be objective and choose the most suitable general to go to the battle." For example, General Yuan, you are too old, and I am afraid that you will not be able to stand the sin of the scorching heat and sand, so you are just right. ”
