Chapter 69: Military Writ
As soon as Yang Wenyuan's voice fell, Li Shouting on the side followed closely and began to echo.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since you want to fight against the Huns, you must not hesitate, the longer it drags on, the greater the possibility of change."
"At present, the Xiongnu have just invaded our dynasty, and seeing that our dynasty has not moved at all, it should be the most lax time, at this time, we should act immediately to attack the Xiongnu."
After Li Shouting finished speaking, Yang Wenyuan nodded.
"What Master Li said is exactly what the old minister thinks in his heart."
"Since Your Majesty has this idea, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible, fight with the Huns as soon as possible, and make a quick decision, so as to give me Daqing and time to deal with internal and external troubles."
Liu Qi stared at these two old things.
Can't you two be human beings?
Now in his own hands, he has just mastered 30,000 soldiers and horses, although he has Bai Qi, but the training progress has not yet taken shape.
Even with the 50,000 soldiers and horses supported by Liu Xuan, it will at least take a certain amount of time to run in before they can really control it.
Taking a team of 80,000 troops with uneven combat strength and no cooperation, to fight against the Huns, this is undoubtedly no different from sending them to death.
How could Liu Qi not understand that this was Yang Wenyuan's retreat, in order to force himself to the root of the wall.
General Han Zhong is a kind man.
Hearing what the two adults said, the first one made a rebuttal.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is brave, but after all, he has never had any experience in military affairs. So abruptly, he took 80,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Xiongnu, isn't this an egg hitting a stone? ”
At this point, the contradictions began to arise again.
On the one hand, it advocates a quick solution, and on the other hand, it advocates stability.
Just when Emperor Qing hesitated, Liu Xuan's eyes rolled and he suddenly stood up.
"Father, what General Han said is reasonable, since this is the case, it is better to let the senior general personally lead the soldiers and horses to fight against the Huns."
"In this way, there is no need to worry about the fact that the prince has no experience in military affairs."
This kind of good opportunity to make contributions, how can the generals miss it.
A military general immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead troops to defeat the Huns!"
"The last general can guarantee that within half a year, I would rather kill the Huns and leave no piece of armor."
At this time, General Han Zhong also expressed his position, but he said it more tactfully.
"Your Majesty, if you believe in the old minister, the old minister is willing to lead the troops there, at least when the old minister was young, he followed General Le and had experience in fighting the Huns."
Listening to the generals asking for battle one after another, Liu Qi felt uncomfortable for a while.
If my father had agreed to anyone's request, wouldn't his previous plan be in vain.
Perhaps, he will have to regain his military power from the imperial court.
Seeing that Emperor Qing began to think carefully at this time, Liu Qi's brows became more and more solemn.
But at this moment, Yang Wenyuan suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is inappropriate."
Emperor Qing was a little puzzled.
"Oh? What does Lord Yang think? ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although General Han has experience, it was many years ago, my Daqing is changing, and the Huns are also changing. In this way, so to speak, we have no experience in fighting against the Xiongnu at the moment. ”
"In that case, what is the big difference between His Highness leading the troops and the generals?"
Liu Xuan laughed.
"Of course there is a difference, the generals have at least brought soldiers, but the prince has not even brought soldiers."
Yang Wenyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"The eldest prince's words are wrong, at the beginning of the founding of the Qing army by the first emperor of my dynasty, he was just a civil official. However, the first emperor strategized, commanded properly, and used his troops like a god, even though he had never fought on the battlefield, he also made great achievements. ”
"Since the crown prince has always advocated personally leading the troops, he must have a strategy in mind, and with the assistance of the generals, the experience of military affairs can naturally make up for it."
"Experience, it's all slowly experienced, and no one is born with it. Isn't it a good thing that the prince is still young, so he takes this opportunity to grow? ”
Liu Qi was a little confused.
What kind of medicine is sold in this Yang Wenyuan gourd? Why did you suddenly speak for yourself?
No, no, this old thing would never have such a good heart, he must be somewhere, waiting for me.
It's not over yet.
"Your Majesty, according to what the old minister can see, it is most suitable for the prince to lead the troops."
"First, I can show the prestige of my Daqing and tell the Huns that my royal family is by no means an ordinary person."
"Second, the prince's personal expedition can greatly improve the morale of our army. It can also let the Xiongnu see our determination to fight the invading enemy. ”
Emperor Qing nodded, as if he thought what Yang Wenyuan said was reasonable.
Seeing this, Liu Xuan quit.
Such a good one, how can he easily let go of the opportunity to weaken the power of the prince.
"Lord Yang, although what you said has some truth, but if Liu Qi leads the troops and is invincible against the Huns, what should he do?"
Yang Wenyuan still looks calm.
"The eldest prince is going to ask the prince, the old minister vaguely remembers that when the prince said that he would lead troops to expedition against the Huns, he had made a military order, if he didn't win, how... The old minister was confused, why did he forget it. ”
Your uncle, can you forget such an important thing?
"Father, the son did make a military order, and once told you that if the expedition against the Huns is not victorious, he is willing to go to the Huns and be a proton to make peace with them!"
Liu Qi didn't care, in his opinion, Yang Wenyuan said this, but he was helping himself.
As long as the military power is still in hand, then there is no problem.
If this is gone, then there is no dependence.
Moreover, as long as he defeated the Huns, he could be regarded as having made a great contribution to Daqing, so far, the position of the prince can be more stable.
Emperor Qing frowned slightly.
If Liu Qi is allowed to lead the troops to the expedition at this time, and he really loses at that time, then there will be no room for relaxation at all.
Son, are you really so confident? You know, the soldiers are fierce, and this is not just a casual talk.
After thinking about it, he still decided to ask Liu Qi what kind of attitude he had, but if he hesitated a little, he would let General Han personally lead the troops and horses to the expedition this time.
"Liu Qi, I will ask you again? Are you really going to lead an expedition against the Huns? You have to think clearly, there is no joke in the army, if you go out this time, if you lose, I will ask you for your sin. ”
He didn't expect that Liu Qi didn't even have the slightest hesitation.
"Father, the son has made up his mind, this time he must personally lead my iron army, expedition against the Huns, and raise the prestige of my Daqing!"
"If you don't win, your son is willing to be punished!"
The first voice of praise came out of Yang Wenyuan's mouth.
"Good, Your Highness is heroic!"
The old minister dared to ask, when does His Highness plan to go on the expedition? How long do you plan to win this battle? ”
