However, before a group of important military ministers could discuss a result, another disturbing news came from the Zhenwu Division headed by Shi A.

According to the news that the spies found out in the martial arts of Qi State, since half a month ago, the temples of Qi State and the major martial arts families have begun to buy and hoard grain in large quantities, and secretly transport grain to Zhongping Mansion in other names.

As we all know, most of the armies used by the Qi State to suppress the three prefectures of Jiangbei and prepare to cross the Yangtze River to the south at the same time were gathered in Zhongping Mansion.

"Hmph, a few days ago, I also received a secret report from the Military Intelligence Department, saying that Zhang Zhaoxing, the general of Qi, wrote to the Lord of Qi not long ago, saying that he was sick and returned to the Eastern Capital, and let the unknown Xie Wenyuan serve as the commander of the Qi army. Originally, I thought that I was going to a big trouble, but I didn't expect that this Qi country was going to play yin for me! ”

Zhang Zhaoxing is a famous general of Qi State, and 50,000 soldiers of Guan Hao, the general of Zhenguo, are stationed in Ningjiang Mansion, facing the Qi army across the bank, just to guard against this one.

If it weren't for Shi A's secret report, they, the Great Chu monarchs, would still be kept in the dark now!

If Shi A's news was ten days and half a month late, I am afraid that they would still think that it was just that there was turmoil in Miaojiang, and it had nothing to do with this Qi country.

Now it seems that the rebellion of this Miao Jiang tribe is definitely involved in the Qi State!

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the Qi State is doing this just to let His Majesty transfer Guan Zhenguo to the south and suppress the rebellion, then Zhang Zhaoxing and Xie Wenyuan took advantage of Guan Zhenguo's transfer to lead the army to cross the river south and attack the Ningjiang Jinghai Second Mansion."

Wang Pu came out of the column and played.

Zhao Yu nodded, and agreed with Wang Pu's words.

What Wang Qing said was very true. If we and other monarchs and ministers don't know, carelessly, then maybe they will fall into the other party's tricks. But now the enemy is clear and I am dark, and the offensive and defensive situation is easy! ”

This Qi thief doesn't know the specific situation of the Chu State court now, if they know that they know that Zhao Yu has so many loyal ministers and good generals in his hands, I'm afraid they will regret having such a thought.

"Where is Master Du Yu?"

Zhao Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Du pre-held the wat board and went out of the queue.

Zhao Yu took a deep look at Du Yu and said:

"I named Du Qing as the general of the military division, joined the army, and led Gao Lan and Wei Yaner to go to Guan Haocang, the general of Zhenguo, to obey orders."

A month ago, Lu Yi'an, the left attendant of the military department, had already taken He Batsheng and He Batyue brothers to appease.

Lu Yi'an has already sent back the news, saying that Guan Haocang has already expressed his position, saying that he will continue to obey the will of the imperial court and entrust the two Heba brothers with important tasks.

Now, if he transfers Du Yu, Wei Yan and Gao Ran to Guan Haocang's men, he doesn't believe that this Qi State can still break the defense line along the river that Guan Haocang has worked so hard to arrange?

In addition, he also had a vague idea to see if there was a chance to make a plan and give a hard blow to the bastards of Qi Guo.

When Du predicted this, his eyes showed surprise.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would call his name at this time, and even entrust himself with a heavy responsibility.

Although joining the army is a civilian job, its position in the army is very important.

"Minister, Hanlin Bachelor Du Pre, Commander."

Du Yu bowed deeply to Zhao Yu.

…………

After going down, Gao Lishi came to Zhao Yu, who was reviewing the folds, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the king asks for a meeting."

"Xuan! You go on a trip yourself, and the leading students come to the Purple Hall to meet me. ”

After that, Zhao Yu's eyes inadvertently swept across the sky, paused slightly, and admonished:

"Also, let the imperial dining room make some food and bring it to the Heart Nourishing Palace. Mr. has been working hard for military affairs these days, and I thought that I didn't even eat a meal, so I went directly to the palace to see me, and I couldn't even give up a hot meal. Remember, tell the Imperial Dining Room to cook a few stomach-nourishing meals, with smaller portions and more dishes. ”

Thinking of Wang Pu's increasingly thin figure these days, Zhao Yu felt a layer of worry in his heart.

"When Sir hears that Your Majesty is like this, I will definitely thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Gao Lishi said with some emotion.

Soon, Gao Lishi led the privy envoy Wang Pu to the Zihuan Palace.

"Minister, Wang Pu, meet Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said to Gao Lishi:

"Bring me a soft and some embroidery pier for my husband."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Pu thanked Zhao Yu and sat on the embroidery pier.

"I don't know why Mr. came to me at this time?"

Zhao Yu asked with a smile.

Wang Pu arched his hand at Zhao Yu and said, "The ambition of the Qi people and wolves has coveted the territory of our dynasty for a long time. Now he is using tricks again, intending to get His Majesty to transfer General Guan to Miaojiang to quell the rebellion. In the humble opinion of the ministers, if they don't deal a heavy blow to the Qi people, I am afraid that their monarchs and ministers will only think that our dynasty is weak and can be bullied. Fortunately, the governor of Zhenwu Sishi discovered the movements of Qi State, so that my dynasty was prepared. But even so, it was not enough to teach Qi people a lesson. ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Zhao Yu asked.

In his heart, there was a faint outline.

"The minister means that if you don't count, you will calculate ......"

Wang Pu whispered something in Zhao Yu's ear.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, what Mr. thinks, is what I think. This is called, the wise man sees something in the same way! When Du Yuankai left Beijing and set off, I informed him with a secret edict to prevent rumors from leaking. ”

"Your Majesty's words, the ministers dare not take it."

Wang Pu arched his hand.

"Sir, don't be modest." Zhao Yu was in a very good mood, waved his hand and smiled, and then, his voice changed, and he said, "Sir, Miao Jiang rebelled, and I want to personally lead the troops and drive the expedition in person, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

When Zhao Yu was at the court meeting, he already had the idea of driving the expedition in person, but after thinking about it, he decided to listen to the opinion of Wang Pu, a wise man.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Wang Pu subconsciously replied, then raised his head, looked at Gao Lishi standing behind Zhao Yu viciously, and said sharply:

"Say, did you do it to your majesty as a villain?"

This...... What's the matter with me Colliers?

Seeing that Wang Pu's beard was all open, with an angry look, Gao Lishi subconsciously shrunk his neck and explained with a crying voice:

"The king is secretive, the ancestors have a saying, and the inner servants are not allowed to interfere in politics. The soldiers of southern Xinjiang are fierce and dangerous, Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the real dragon, and the slave maid is bold, and she does not dare to pry His Majesty to do this kind of white dragon fish suit. ”

He is rich and noble, but he is pinned on His Majesty, how can he let His Majesty take risks?

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring!"

Wang Pu glanced at Gao Lishi and snorted coldly:

"However, as an internal servant, Your Majesty has the intention of taking risks, but you don't say anything to advise, what's the use of Your Majesty raising you?"

Gao Lishi was about to cry when he was wronged.

"My king's privy, if our family says it, our family is the same as the privy, I just found out, you don't believe it if you want to come to the privy."

"Humph!"

Wang Pu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Sir, don't force this minion. I can testify that Colliers, like Mr., just knew. After all, this is also my temporary intention, and I want to discuss with my husband. ”

Zhao Yu had to come out to play a round.

"Your Majesty, don't you hear the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down, not to mention, Your Majesty is the king of a country and the lord of Great Chu, and you can't go into danger in person!"

When Wang Pu heard this, he smiled bitterly, and his face was even more distressed.

Your Majesty, your wrist is indeed powerful, and you can quietly bring down the King of Taihe, but this leading army to fight is completely different from the battle of the court!

What's more, if you go to Miaojiang. With your big Buddha by his side, Qu Zhennan also feels uncomfortable!

It's just that Wang Pu only dared to think about these words in his mind, and said that he couldn't say them at all.

To say it would be a great sin of disrespect.

He could only change the method to persuade the little emperor in front of him, don't be hot-headed and rash.

Raising his hand to stop Wang Pu's words that were about to come out, Zhao Yu smiled bitterly:

"Wang Qing, do you think I like to drive in person?"

As he spoke, he explained:

"The garrisons of the southern Xinjiang provinces are weak, although Qu Zhennan is loyal to the country, but the composition of the generals under his command is complex, there are both barbarian generals in southern Xinjiang, and people promoted by the king of Taihe, each with different thoughts. Even though Qu Zhennan had the intention to kill the enemy, the generals under his command might not necessarily think like this. In the face of the rebellion of the Miao Jiang tribe, there will definitely be people who incite the tandem among them. If the coach of the Burmese country, Li Shichang, takes advantage of the situation, under the internal and external attacks, Qu Zhennan will definitely be unable to support himself. Li Shichang is also a well-known general in various countries, and ordinary generals are not his opponents. I feel that only when the imperial court sends troops and goes all out can we have a chance to win. ”

"If it is really as Your Majesty said, then Your Majesty's personal expedition is not extremely dangerous? Otherwise, let's let the minister go! ”

Wang Pu frowned and asked.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Don't you think that this is a good time for me to subdue the border army and the barbarians in one fell swoop? ”

Zhao Yu smiled:

"Although Sir is brilliant in scheming and more proficient in military affairs, there are some things that really have to be done.

Only when I go to Huiping Mansion can I boost the morale of the people and win the hearts of the border army in one fell swoop; Only when I come forward, those tribal leaders in southern Xinjiang will affirm that I, Da Chu, have come with sincerity.

Of course, I'll also bring a few generals, just in case. However, in this god capital, Mr. Lao has to worry a lot. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yu had said this thing, Wang Pu knew that if he continued to persuade him, he would be a taboo.

Your Majesty has made it clear that this time you will go to gather the hearts of the border army and the barbarians, and if you insist on asking for orders to go on your Majesty's behalf, it will be a little unclear.

"Commander Zhang, Huang Dudu, etc., are all brave generals, if Your Majesty takes a few of them south, the minister will be relieved. Since His Majesty's holy will has been decided, it is difficult for the minister to say anything. I just want to ask, how many soldiers and horses from Beijing are your majesty going to take to southern Xinjiang? ”

"Among Shenjing, there are 50,000 men and horses in the Beijing camp, 30,000 men and horses in the city guards, and 20,000 soldiers and horses in the forbidden army, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses. I want to send 30,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion, 10,000 city guards and 10,000 forbidden troops, a total of 50,000 horses, to rush to the aid of southern Xinjiang. ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said.

"50,000 horses, plus the southern frontier army...... Almost. ”

Wang Pu estimated in his heart for a while, nodded, and said no more.

"Tomorrow morning, please also ask Mr. to beat the side drum on the side to strengthen my prestige."

"Your Majesty......" Wang Pu shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and finally had to nod, "The old minister saved it." ”

While he was talking, the maids in the palace brought exquisite meals and entered the Zihuan Palace.

"Come, sir, try the skill of the imperial chef in this palace. I know that Sir has been working hard for the Privy Council and the military since the New Year. At this time, it was already noon, and it was not too late for Mr. to finish the meal in the palace and go back, but I didn't know Mr.'s taste, so I only asked the imperial chefs to make some dishes to nourish the stomach. If there is anything unsatisfactory, even if it is said, I will let the palace do it again. ”

Zhao Yu pointed to a few side dishes on the table and said with a smile.

When Wang Pu heard this, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in a pair of starry eyes, and he choked up slightly:

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Nothing was said all night.

Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, after hearing Zhao Yu's decision to prepare for the imperial expedition, in the Taiji Palace, the ministers were stunned at first, and then spoke out to dissuade them.

"Your Majesty is the Venerable of All Vehicles, how can you easily wade into danger?"

"Your Majesty, Burma is coming, Your Majesty only needs to send a good general to defend against the enemy, how can you do this thing in vain?"

"The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, Your Majesty is the king of all vehicles, this move is too risky! Please think twice before you act! ”

Even Cheng Chu Ziwen, who was the imperial history of the imperial party, couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, the major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong, and the minister also asks Your Majesty to think twice!"

Among the ministers, Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi also frowned and prepared to admonish.

How can this army be so childish?

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a few light coughs sounded in the ears of the two, and when they looked sideways, they saw Yu Chuan stretching out a finger, first shaking it gently to himself, and then pointing at Wang Pu, the privy envoy standing at the forefront.

Zhuge Jin and Bu Qi were slightly stunned, and then a look of clarity appeared on their faces, and they moved their feet slightly, and retreated into the ministers without a trace.

The two of them understood what Yu Flip meant.

The privy envoy Wang Pu is not only His Majesty's most trusted minister, but also has a commanding military opinion, which makes them have to admire from the bottom of their hearts.

Now even this one didn't come out to stop His Majesty, but the old god was standing there, watching everyone advise Your Majesty with a word.

Obviously, His Majesty must have communicated with the king before, but I don't know what reason was used to persuade him.

In that case, the opposition of the ministers is meaningless.

Because this time, Your Majesty is just routinely informing the ministers.

"At yesterday's court meeting, I have ordered the Hanlin scholar Du to lead Wei Yan and Gao Lan to Ningjiang Mansion to assist the auxiliary general Guan Haocang and guard against Northern Qi, so the three Ningjiang Mansions don't need to think about it for the time being! Those I am worried about, but the ears of the southern frontier! Li Shichang of Burma led troops to invade the territory, and the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang refused to accept the king. Only when I lead the troops in person and gather the hearts of the army can I resist the enemy outside and subdue the Nanban internally! I have made up my mind, and the secretaries don't need to say anything. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

As soon as Zhao Yu's words fell, he saw Yu flipping over the wat board in his hand, walked out of the queue, and bowed to the ground.

"It's Yu Qing? Say, what's the matter, if it's a matter of the conquest of my relatives, then there is no need to speak! ”

Seeing Yu turn out of the column, Zhao Yu only felt a little brain pain, and waved his hand.

Thank you for the reward of 100 starting coins from [20230310174256846]!

Thank you for the reward of 100 starting coins from Zhangjia Town!
