Chapter 131: Cao Guogong
But is Zhu Quan willing to admit defeat like this? I don't want to, he didn't think about rebellion, now the hat of such a big thief is buckled on his head, the key is that he won't get anything if he wins, he should be a prince or a prince, and maybe the military power will not remain in his hands.
But if the rebellion fails, with Jianwen's urine, he will not let go of himself.
Why didn't he kill King Zhou before, didn't kill King Dai and didn't kill King Qi, is it because Jianwen doesn't want to kill them! No, it's because these people are still his own uncles in the end, if he kills his own uncle, he won't be able to hide from him in the future.
But if the rebellion fails, he won't even have a life, because the hat of rebellion will always be buckled on his head, and even if he is forced to rebel, he will become an active rebel at that time, so just a killing word, he has absolutely no words, and this can not only get rid of half of the henchmen in the frontier, but also leave a deterrent to other vassal kings.
Zhu Quan looked at Zhu Song's high-spirited appearance, but thought in his heart, you can be happy when you are twenty, it won't be long before you are happy, and when you meet the fourth brother, I will tell you all your careful thoughts, since you don't let your brother feel better, my brother can't make you feel better.
……
The defeat of the imperial army was reported to the Jingshi.
Jianwen's face turned blue when he looked at the defeat, he really couldn't understand, 500,000 people! 500,000 people, why did you lose like this to more than 100,000 people?
Could it really be that according to the children's song in Beiping, the fourth uncle is the real son of the dragon?
Jianwen threw the defeat report to the ground, Qi Tai hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the defeat report, and after reading it, Qi Tai was also confused, but he also had to excuse Changxinghou.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changxing fell for the trick of King Yan, although there are many soldiers and horses in my court, but in the wilderness, my court soldiers and horses are not as good at field warfare as Beiping soldiers and horses, Beiping is far away in the border pass, and every year I have to compete with the Yuan people on the grassland, and my court army has been sparse in the south for a long time, not to mention that Changxinghou's strength is not in the field, but in defending the city."
"Your Majesty depends on the ministers, there is no need to make any changes in the court next, the main general must be Geng Bingwen, now it seems that Geng Bingwen has been defeated in Zhending City, but in fact, Geng Bingwen's strengths can only be brought into play in Zhending City."
"Time is good for the court, good for Changxing Marquis and not good for King Yan, as long as we drag on time, the Beiping army itself is a rebel, not to mention that there is only one city in Beiping City, and the supply of grain and grass is really limited, less than a month. The Beiping army will be defeated, and the king of Yan will be captured by Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing. ”
Qi Tai's voice landed, and at this moment Huang Zicheng stood up, Qi Tai looked at Huang Zicheng and sighed in his heart,
Judging from his friendship with Huang Zicheng for such a long time, if Huang Zicheng agrees with his opinion, then he will definitely not stand up and speak, if he disagrees with his opinion, even if it is a road paved with knives in front of him, he will resolutely step on it.
I saw Huang Zicheng kneeling down and said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Qi is reasonable, but in a battle with Yan Rebellion, if my imperial army can't play with style, momentum, and majesty, then this battle is better than not fighting." ”
"Why? The imperial court is the center of the country, if the imperial court deals with a small Yan king, it has to fight so hard and time-consuming, then in the future, there will definitely be other vassal kings who underestimate the imperial court and underestimate Your Majesty. ”
"So from the perspective of the minister, this lord must be replaced, Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen can no longer be used, we should be replaced by a younger, more talented, and more daring young general, you must know that although King Yan is brave, it is not without a new generation of outstanding generals in the same generation who can compete with it."
Jianwen was already a little moved after hearing this, and he had to admit that what he and Huang Zicheng said made sense, but Jianwen was young in the end, and he also felt that the imperial court had sent a large army to quell the rebellion! Then it is necessary to show the majesty of the court, the invincible appearance and momentum of the court, and give those vassal kings in the world a good look.
If the imperial court can't even do this, and can only rely on the defense of the city to support it, and then rely on time to drag down the rebels, then it will be a fuse buried in the future, and this fuse will be ignited little by little, until the powder keg is ignited, and finally a violent explosion will be triggered.
Jianwen nodded affirmatively: "Huang Aiqing is reasonable, I also think so, if my court must fight, then it must be played with momentum and majesty, if it is supported by Geng Bingwen, wouldn't it make people underestimate the court and the emperor." ”
"According to what Huang Aiqing said, who does Huang Aiqing think can accept Geng Bingwen's heavy responsibility and quell the rebellion?"
"Your Majesty!"
Qi Tai knew that since His Majesty had decided to change the generals, he had to push a general who could fight and dare to fight, otherwise, if the imperial court elected another one who was not as good as Geng Bingwen, wouldn't it be really wasted?
"Your Majesty, there are candidates for ministers, after Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was the general of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, he inherited his father's combat style, low-key, resolute and calm, full of military books, although he is stable and victorious on the battlefield, but he will not miss the slightest opportunity to win, if he sends Xu Hui to deal with the spear of King Yan, it is appropriate!"
Today, Huang Zicheng seemed to be on a par with Qi Tai, and as soon as Qi Tai's words were finished, His Majesty hadn't said anything yet, so he immediately said.
"Your Majesty, although Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, inherited his father's military talent, don't forget that Xu Danai, the king of Zhongshan, is the father-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Xu Huizu is the brother-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan!"
Jianwen raised his head when he heard this, and Qi Tai chuckled in his heart when he heard this, it's bad, why didn't he think of this relationship just now?
Sure enough, the emperor asked Huang Zicheng: "Then from Aiqing's point of view, if you don't choose Wei Guogong, then who should you choose?" ”
Huang Zicheng lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly he thought of Cao Guogong and Li Jinglong.
"The emperor came to see the emperor in the morning, and he could choose Cao Guogong, Li Jinglong, for two reasons, Li Jinglong is the son of the king of Qiyang, when the king of Qiyang was alive, he disciplined Li Jinglong quite strictly, and he also personally took Cao Guogong to the battlefield, as for the second one, this Cao Guogong is the emperor's relative!"
After Jianwen listened, he clapped his hands.
"Ouch, why didn't I think of it, it's very true, it stands to reason that Cao Guogong is my cousin!"
