Chapter 366: Criticism from the DPRK and China
Due to the direct intervention of the crown prince Liu Rong, the newly formed military department gradually got on the right track.
The new secretary of the military department is the prince's person, and he is extremely respectful to his master, and handed over Ye Yunyang's troop transfer excerpt and said: "Your Highness, the Duke of Nanshan County wants to transfer the Iron Eagle Army to the south to participate in the task of recovering Nanban. ”
The prince took the fold and looked at it, and said, "Accurate!"
In the last battle against Nanshan, the Iron Eagle Army undertook the task of attracting the enemy's attention, although it also advanced south, but it had nothing to do with the war, at best it was just a long-distance training.
But this time, Ye Yunyang wanted to use this army as the main force to recover the Southern Barbarians.
After receiving the order, the commander of the Iron Eagle Army will definitely be very happy, he failed to get military merits in the Battle of Nanshan last time, but he was only verbally rewarded by the emperor, and he was almost envious to death when he saw others being crowned marquis and dukes.
It is a very good idea to transfer the Iron Eagle Army, Daqin is preparing to fight the Rong Di people, and the pressure on the northern defense line of the Great Han will be reduced a lot, and this is a good time to transfer troops.
The military department Shangshu cautiously said: "Also, the Nanshan County Duke wants to transfer 100,000 defenders from the Nanshan County City to participate in the battle against the Nanban. ”
The prince pondered for a moment and said: "The situation in Nanshan is basically stable, the so-called rebellion is all a small fight, and it can't make any waves, so it's a good idea to transfer troops nearby, quasi!"
The crown prince had the right to approve the transfer of troops below 200,000, which was a right granted to him by the emperor.
It is precisely because of this that the military department Shangshu received a request for the transfer of the Iron Eagle Army and the Nanshan Army, and would come to the crown prince instead of meeting the emperor in person.
After approving the two troop transfer folds, the prince raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I didn't ...... Without. The military department Shangshu said cautiously.
"Gone?" the prince raised his eyebrows.
The military department Shangshu nodded and said, "It's gone!" Weichen is also wondering, the Nanshan County Duke wants 300,000 soldiers and horses, is it a little less?"
The prince frowned, not less, but too little!
Just 300,000 people want to deal with the Nanban, it is simply whimsical, you must know that the three barbarians have a total of nearly two million troops, even if they are later divided by the father and son, plus a year of melee, there will be at least 1.5 million available soldiers.
Moreover, the barbarians are warlike, and with just a call from the barbarian king, tens of thousands of people will soon join the army, and to put it mildly, the barbarian king can feed as many troops as he has.
The prince said in his heart, this should be the first batch of troops mobilized by Ye Yunyang, and there will definitely be more troops in the future.
However, for several days, no new folds appeared, and the Iron Eagle Army marched south at full speed after receiving the order, and had already walked more than a third of the way.
The matter of Nanshan County's public transfer of 300,000 troops has also spread in the court.
......
In Nanshan County, Wei Chengwu asked to see Ye Yunyang.
He was taken into the study by Chen Shilai, and Ye Yunyang arrived later.
Chen Shilai hurriedly hugged his fist at him and said, "The last general has seen the Nanshan County Prince, and there is already news about the matter you asked me to do. ”
Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "Yes, what is the result, let's hear it." ”
Wei Chengwu looked around, his face showing embarrassment.
"Don't worry, it's safe here, and there's never a wall with ears. Ye Yunyang knew what he was thinking about, and said, "Isn't it enough for the two titled national teachers to sit in the City Lord's Mansion to deter the younger ones?"
Wei Chengwu explained: "The last general is not worried about the people in the city lord's mansion, but is afraid of the people around you, in case they have different intentions, but they can't prevent it." ”
Ye Yunyang frowned, the people around me, Chen Shilai?
Chen Shilai refuses to have different intentions, he is a beggar, has no background and no background, and is loyal to himself, the most important thing is that he knows that following him must have a bright future, and it is difficult to be bought.
It's not him, is it Dongfang Yixue?
The oriental beauty is Ye Yunyang's lover, and it is impossible to betray him.
Zheng Zhiyuan is also impossible, he is Ye Yunyang's nephew, and with the help of Ye Yunyang, he was promoted from the Golden Body Realm to the Bright Sky Realm, and it was too late to repay the favor, how could he do something sorry for him.
Moreover, if you want to buy the Titled National Master of the Bright Sky Realm, how easy is it! A martial artist of this level will not look at money, and cultivation and upgrading are the most important thing, unless you can provide him with a secret method for upgrading.
The secret method is in Ye Yunyang's hands, Zheng Zhiyuan knows this, he still has to rely on Ye Yunyang to ascend to the Holy Dao Realm, and it is impossible to do anything about the path of self-determination.
In the same way, Gu Zhengxiang is the same.
Then there was only one Liu Yuying left, recalling the emperor's attitude towards her coming to Nanshan at that time, Ye Yunyang couldn't help but be suspicious.
Seeing that he was silent and looked thoughtful, Wei Chengwu said cautiously: "Nanshan County Prince, what do you want?"
Ye Yunyang came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing! You can rest assured, it's absolutely safe here, just say it." ”
Wei Chengwu nodded and said, "According to your instructions, I asked someone to contact that person, and after receiving the news, that person ordered me to act as a messenger between the two of you and be responsible for the contact between the two of you." ”
To be on the safe side, he referred to the man as the Ghost-Faced Colt.
I have to be careful, after all, this is the territory of the Great Han, and the Ghost-faced Horse is the number one enemy of the Great Han, and once it is heard, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Ye Yunyang expected that this would be the result, so he would ask Wei Chengwu to contact the ghost-faced horse.
"Okay, then you can help me deliver the first message right away. Ye Yunyang said in a deep voice: "This news is only four words, and it will not be transferred for the time being!"
Wei Chengwu didn't understand what it meant, but he still nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely send the news to that person in the shortest possible time." ”
Ye Yunyang smiled slightly: "If nothing else, you will soon receive an order from General Yin Falcon to lead five thousand elite soldiers into Nanshan County, and it will be convenient for us to meet at that time." ”
"Yes!"
......
Great Han, court.
Emperor Liu Qi was wearing a Nine Dragons gown, sitting upright on the dragon chair, with a calm expression on his face.
The prime minister came out to report: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the Nanshan County Duke transferred 300,000 troops and wanted to help the Dongban King take the royal court, but is there such a thing?"
Before the war started, Ye Yunyang certainly did not show his intention to get involved in the three barbarians, and the public statement was to help Meng Zhun seize the territory.
The Emperor nodded and said, "It is true." ”
After receiving a positive answer, the prime minister immediately said: "The old minister thinks that this matter is inappropriate! First of all, it is an act of unfilial piety to help his son beat his father and rob his father's territory. ”
The emperor frowned, it was obvious that he did not agree with the prime minister's point of view, and it made sense to talk about benevolence and filial piety etiquette to the enemy? Nanban is uncivilized, and Daqin is always a state of etiquette, if everything can be solved by morality and etiquette, will we fight with Daqin for so many years?
The prime minister continued: "If the name is not right, the words are not good, and it is really unwise for the Han to send troops to the southern barbarians. Besides, even if you want to send troops, what use can you do with just 300,000 people?"
The emperor was happy, it turned out that the prime minister meant that there were few soldiers sent by him, and he was afraid that the Han soldiers would lose the battle in a foreign country, so he deliberately found fault.
In the imperial history, Cheng also stood up and said: "What the Prime Minister said is extremely true, the Southern Barbarians have two million male soldiers, although they are divided by the three barbarian kings, but Meng Huo has at least seven or eight hundred thousand people in his hands, and our 300,000, plus the 500,000 of the Eastern Barbarian King, is only 800,000, at most it is on par with the enemy, and the odds of victory are between five and five." If you add factors such as our unfamiliarity with people, the odds of winning will be further reduced, so it is better not to fight such an uncertain battle. ”
Immediately, someone stood up again: "Nanshan Jungong has no experience in commanding troops, and if he hands over an army of 300,000 troops to his command, what is the chance of victory? Even if he wins the battle in the end, it will be a miserable victory, and our soldiers don't know how many people are buried in other places." ”
The minister seconded. ”
The ministers seconded. ”
The emperor frowned, it seemed that the ministers not only felt that the troops were too small, but also doubted Ye Yunyang's ability, he turned to ask the prince next to him: "Emperor, what do you think?"
The prince bent down and clenched his fists, and said: "Erchen does not have the slightest doubt about the ability of Nanshan County Duke to command the army, but the 300,000 army is indeed a little less, you must know that after taking Meng Huo, there is Meng Tu eyeing him by the side, and he is very willing to even have a chance to breathe, so he will immediately enter the big battle, is this little force enough?"
The ministers whispered, and even the crown prince was suspicious, and it seemed that his fears were correct.
The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince of Nanshan County is too blind and arrogant because he is young. The Qin people were about to use troops against Rong Di, and the strength of the Rong Di people was on par with that of the Southern Barbarians, so what did the Qin people do? Ghost Faces and Horses sat in town, and 1.2 million Ghost Face Legions poured out, plus hundreds of thousands of second-line troops for material support. Fighting in other countries is no better than fighting on one's own territory, and military strength is the first element. ”
The ministers chimed in.
The crown prince also felt that there were only 300,000 people, barely one-third of the barbarians, and the odds were not high.
Although the Nanban has been divided into three barbarians, who dares to guarantee that the father and son will not give up their past suspicions when the foreign enemy comes, if they are united, these 300,000 people are not enough to stuff their teeth.
Whether Meng Zhun is loyal to the Han Dynasty or not, this matter remains to be considered, but Meng Tu will definitely not be of the same mind as the Han Dynasty, Meng Zhun can unite Meng Tu, why can't Meng Huo unite Meng Tu?
If Meng Huo promised Meng Tu a heavy profit and promised to give away the royal court area, Meng Tu would definitely tear up the agreement with Meng Zhun and wear a pair of pants with his father instead.
Barbarians have no courtesy, righteousness and shame, and they can do everything, so they have to guard against it.
In the prince's opinion, at least 500,000 soldiers and horses must be considered insurance, and if there are more, the chances of victory will be greater.
"Silence. The emperor said majestically, and the ministers quickly stopped talking to each other and sat upright.
The emperor scanned the main hall with a sharp gaze and said, "I solemnly stated in front of the civil and military officials that since I have granted the Nanshan County Monopoly Authority, everything is up to him, and I express my absolute trust." From today onwards, no one is allowed to discuss this matter in vain, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. ”
The sound of gasping cold air came and went, and the hundred officials looked at each other, they were all thinking about a question, the emperor also trusted Ye Yunyang too much, was he sure that he would definitely be able to win the battle?
In case of defeat, where will the emperor's face go?
The crown prince secretly glanced at his father, as a son, he knew the emperor very well, this kind of trust had a price, he didn't dare to think about what would happen if Ye Yunyang lost the battle.
