Chapter 10 Disputes

"Your Majesty, Wang Ming'an has lost his troops and lost his ground and lost consecutive battles, and he is indeed no longer suitable for the position of commander. The minister implored His Majesty to depose Wang Ming'an and send another commander to avoid the failure of the front clearance and the enemy army to penetrate into the hinterland of our country! ”

"Nonsense!" As soon as the words just fell, another voice rang out: "Although General Wang was defeated, he was brave and good at fighting, which made the army admire. Every time he charged forward, he was stabbed several times in the previous battle, but he never took a step back. At this moment, the army is newly defeated, and General Wang is needed to stabilize the morale of the army. Changing generals in battle, I'm afraid it will make the army unstable! ”

As soon as these words fell, most of the people in the court looked a little strange. It's shameless, who doesn't know that Wang Mingan is a greedy and afraid of death. Not to mention charging ahead, I was afraid that the wind would be slightly wrong, so I immediately ran away. It's really hard for him to slap on this fart.

"General Wang is injured, so he can't hold this important position, he should be allowed to return to Beijing to recuperate!" As soon as the words fell, another person hurriedly stood up and said, "In case something is wrong with this General Wang, where are the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of you?" ”

"Humph!" With a cold snort, the general slowly stood up, looked coldly at the person who had just spoken, only to see that he was trembling, and glanced at Shen Yuan provocatively, and then slowly said, "Your Majesty, now that the war ahead is tight, it is indeed not suitable for changing generals at this time, please Your Majesty be clear!" ”

"The general said he was joking!" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Shen Yuan slowly stood up and said, "There are only 20,000 old and weak people in Datong Kingdom, and the domestic political situation is still unstable, and there is continuous civil strife, but it still makes Wang Ming'an's 60,000 elite soldiers helpless, and even defeated in battles!" ”

"General, this makes me have to doubt Wang Ming'an's ability to lead troops. If Wang Ming'an is allowed to lead the troops again, I am afraid that he will not even be able to clear the customs in front. At that time, the army of Datong will drive straight in, can this responsible general afford it? ”

"If something happens, General Ben will be responsible!"

"Responsible? What is the general responsible for? Smiling disdainfully, Shen Yuan immediately took two steps forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that the front line is urgent, and Wang Ming'an should be dismissed immediately, and another good general should be selected to lead the army to fight, so as not to delay the fighter plane, so that Datong Kingdom can take advantage of it!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Prime Minister Shen Yuan opened his mouth, and seventy percent of the people in the court followed suit. The scene was so big that Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel cold. Although I knew that some of these people had only temporarily succumbed to Shen Yuan's obscenity, and some of them stood up purely because Wang Ming'an, who was not used to seeing defeat. But Shen Yuan's power was so great that Zhao Yuan was still shocked.

"The war ahead is tight, and the leadership of the generals is unstable, and if there is an opportunity for Datong to take advantage of it. Prime Minister, are you up to this responsibility? ”

"Joke, with Wang Ming'an's ability, can he keep the front clearance?" With a light snort, Shen Yuan glanced at Zhang Yuan lightly, and said slowly: "The general opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and the soldiers in front of him were not convinced, could it be that the soldiers in front only knew that there was a general, only knew that there was him, Wang Ming'an, but did not know that there was Your Majesty?" ”

"Is the general trying to rebel?"

"You"

"That's it!" Looking at the two people who were gradually clashing, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but interrupt them, "Although General Wang is loyal and brave, it is also a fact that he has lost his troops and lost generals, and I also feel that General Wang is indeed not suitable to serve as the former commander of customs clearance!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty!" Ignoring Shen Yuan, who was singing praises on the side, Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said loudly, "Since Your Majesty also thinks that Ming'an is not suitable, then General Ben has nothing to say!" ”

"Since this is the case, this general will recommend a person to His Majesty, and the general of the Xiao Cavalry Guard will be brave and good at fighting in the expedition, and he is known for his prestige in the army. His Majesty can send him to the front to clear the customs, and with the prestige of the expedition in the army, I believe that the soldiers in front will not be dissatisfied! ”

The general laughed, Xiao Cavalry Guard Zhonglang Feng Expedition is indeed brave and good at fighting, but his prestige in the army is not worthy of the name. As far as the minister knows, this man is quite brutal, likes to drink, and when he gets drunk, he beats the sergeant for no reason, and the sergeant suffers for a long time. Let him lead the troops, I'm afraid it will make the sergeants in front panic! ”

"Well, I've heard General Feng's reputation too, it's really a bit bad!" Following Shen Yuan's words, Zhao Yuan nodded, and then asked, "What does the prime minister think?" ”

"The minister recommended Feng Zhengge, the squire of the military department, as the former commander of customs clearance, this person is familiar with military books and proficient in the art of war in battle formations, which is really the best choice for the commander!"

"Prime Minister, Feng Zhengge is just a scholar who has never been on the battlefield and has never led a soldier, such a person can also go to the battlefield?" With a cold snort, Zhang Yuan didn't give an inch and said loudly, "The battlefield is not a child's house, it's going to die!?" ”

"People always have their first time, and the ancient famous generals did not lead the troops to fight at the beginning. How did the general know that Lord Feng didn't have that ability? ”

"It's so important to clear the customs before, the prime minister wants to use it to train the troops, just to see if Lord Feng has the ability to command the troops, this is not suitable!"

Looking at Feng Zhengge, who was eager to try, Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Lord Feng can lead the troops to fight if he wants, but the army is not a child's play, and rashly leading the troops will only cause chaos in the army." How about Master Feng as a lieutenant in the army and accumulate experience? ”

"Hmph, General, how can Lord Feng say that he is also a squire of the Ministry of War, let him be appointed as a captain, doesn't the general think it is too much?"

"Well, General Ben thinks it's too high. Which of the soldiers in the army did not come up from scratching and rolling, and which one did not accumulate through bloody battles. It's not like reading two military books and setting up battle formations! ”

"But as far as the old minister knows, General Wang Ming'an seems to have been appointed as the former commander of customs clearance. Could it be that the old minister is old and can't remember clearly? ”

"You hum!" With a wave of his sleeves, Zhang Yuan said coldly, "The affairs in our army are handled by me, the general, so I don't bother the prime minister!" ”

"General, the affairs of the army are the major affairs of the country, why don't you bother me, the prime minister?"

"Okay, how can you be the prime minister and the general of a country to ridicule each other in front of many courtiers, when the court is above the street market outside?"

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhao Yuan hurriedly said, "Since the prime minister and the general are the former customs clearance guards, I have a candidate here, and that is Cao Wei, the former commander of the forbidden army!" ”

"General Cao was the commander of the forbidden army, and his merits were well known, and he loved soldiers like a son, and his prestige in the army was also quite high. I think I can let General Cao lead his troops to the front to clear the customs and command the army! ”

"Your Majesty, no!" As soon as Zhao Yuan's words fell, Zhang Yuan and Shen Yuan actually spoke at the same time, and the ministers also hurriedly stopped them.

"Your Majesty, according to the ministers, Cao Wei is now only Sima of the city gate, and there are no more than a thousand soldiers under him. Now he is suddenly mentioned as the former commander of customs clearance, I am afraid that the courtiers will not be convinced, I am afraid that the world will not be convinced, I hope that Your Majesty will be clear! ”

"Yes, General Ben is in charge of military affairs, and he also knows Cao Wei very well. This person is really incompetent, and he only relies on his ability to slap horses to become the commander of the forbidden army. Later, His Majesty ascended the throne with a brilliant eye, and drove Cao Wei out of the forbidden army! ”

"But as far as I know, General Cao is not so unbearable, and I relied on General Cao's support to ascend the throne back then, and General Cao has made great contributions. Moreover, I also inquired, General Cao is indeed a rare fierce general, and I feel that if General Cao goes to clear the customs, he will be able to turn defeat into victory! ”

"The minister thinks that what His Majesty said is reasonable, and the minister seconded General Cao as the former commander of customs clearance!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"You guys, huh!" Looking at the person who stood up and seconded the proposal, Zhang Yuan was full of disdain, and said coldly, "General Ben said it, General Ben disagreed!" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister also seconded the proposal!"

"The prime minister agreed?" Just when Zhao Yuan had a headache, Prime Minister Shen Yuan suddenly spoke out in support, which made Zhao Zhaoyuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart. But at this time, Zhao Yuan didn't care about doubting anything else, and said directly, "Since the prime minister also agreed, then so be it!" ”

"I ordered General Cao to be the former commander of customs clearance and lead 20,000 northern troops to support"

A court battle was over, and several ministers surrounded Shen Yuan on the way down to the court, and said with some excitement, "Why does the prime minister agree with the little emperor's opinion, the little emperor clearly wants to"

"Lord Wang forbids!" Shen Yuan smiled slightly, and said lightly, "It doesn't matter whether our little emperor wants to take back his power. The important thing is that Zhang Yuan lost 60,000 troops and broke a powerful arm! ”

"What's more, the financial power is still in our hands. Cao Wei is not Zhang Yuan, a mere Cao Wei, I don't need to give him face. As long as his food and grass are cut off, the morale of the army will be unstable at that time. Let our people win over the generals with high-ranking officials in the army, and we will be able to control at least half of these 60,000 horses by then! ”

"So he is like this, the prime minister is really far-sighted, and the ministers admire and admire him!"
