Chapter 144: Generalissimo Pingliao

Cai Zhong had something to say, but at this time, he tended to be under the great joy of Emperor Xuanwu, and he didn't dare to say it too clearly.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Cai Zhong fiercely, after all, he has been a monarch and minister for twenty years, and he can't see the little bit of caution in Cai Zhong's heart.

couldn't help asking: "Cai Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it!" No need to hide it! ”

Cai Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "King Qin's defeat of the Liao people is gratifying!" With this victory, it will surely make the people of the world excited. But! The minister still said that the Liao army is strong, although more than 200,000 people died in battle, but the main force of the Liao army is still alive, and my Dawu is still in a weak position. ”

"The five levels in the north are under great pressure! If the enemy uses superior forces to break the Wuguo Ningwu Pass, drive straight in, and if the state is lost, Yunzhou will be in crisis, and Luo Qi will be in danger! ”

"Yesterday! When the minister heard the news, he said that His Majesty ordered to stop moving south, and the people and ministers of the capital were not allowed to take half a step out of Luoqi, and the monarchs and ministers, the soldiers and the people, were united in fighting against the Huns! In order to support the northern generals, they will fight hard. The minister thought that for the sake of His Majesty's safety, the matter of moving south was still the same. ”

The inscription of the Great Sima Wang, how could he be convinced, and he came out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty! The minister did not dare to agree with the words of the imperial doctor, just as when the general was alive, he also said that between victory and defeat on the battlefield, it was just a thought. ”

"Just like the King of Qin, even though the enemy has 300,000 soldiers, he still lures the enemy deep with 100,000 troops and kills 200,000 enemies. And with the strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, he took the city of Wusa and forced the Xiongnu to return eastward. ”

"This is not a miracle, but the result of the King of Qin's proper command, the intentions of the generals, and the lives of the soldiers. This battle report has already shown that although the Liao army is numerous, it is not invincible. Since it can still be defeated, why should the capital of our country move south to Jinling. ”

"Besides! At this time, in Yangzhou, Jinling and other places, the Japanese invaders sought provocation, although under the conquest of Zhang Tianzheng, Qi Lanyin and other generals, although the Japanese invaders were defeated and retreated, they were still active in coastal areas and other places. ”

"And Jinling, located on the coast, across the Huaichuan River, is where the Japanese fleet is located, if you move south to Jinling at this time, the war is still there! Your Majesty will also be exposed to the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders, and more importantly, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north will be defeated. ”

Truly! Wang Mingzhang is not wrong at all. The war in the north continued, and the hundreds of thousands of military troops stationed in the north would have known that if the emperor had abandoned them and moved south to Jinling, it would have led to a great drop in the morale of the army.

The only belief of these martial artists is to protect Dawu and protect the emperor, if even the emperor runs away, then! Who else are they going to protect?

At that time! Can the war in the north still be won?

The most fatal thing is that the northern Xiongnu, once they go south to Dawu and break through the three passes, the land of Hebei will be lost! And the South! The Japanese are looking for provocations, the south of the Yangtze River is unstable, such a situation, the world of great martial arts, will be taken away by foreigners.

"Hmm!"

Emperor Xuanwu felt that Wang Mingzhang was reasonable.

After all! He, the main station faction, is unwilling to lose Luo Qi, this treasure left by the ancestors.

Emperor Xuanwu continued: "Wang Aiqing, in your opinion, it is a way to support me!" ”

Wang Mingzhang said: "The minister has always supported His Majesty!" It's just that! If the people of the eighteen states can know the news of the victory of the King of Qin, it will definitely inspire people and arouse the enthusiasm of the people to resist the war. ”

"And! The minister thought that the king of Qin could be appointed as the commander of the Northern Battlefield, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War, and the commander of You, He, Hebei, etc., and all the soldiers and horses in the northern battlefield. At the same time, in Yunnan, Deng, Tai and other prefectures, you can timely go to the north, increase the source of troops, and post recruitment matters as soon as possible. From all counties and prefectures, 200,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, and they quickly marched north to help the northern battlefield. ”

After the self-defense was delayed to the north, and after breaking through directly from the place where the Qiang and Hu people were stationed, he changed his strategy, avoided the main force of Longxijun, quickly went south to Youzhou, and met with Dongfangping, the king of Yan, which forced Longxijun, the general of Liao, to retreat.

It's just that! Wei delayed nearly 170,000 troops, and also lost more than 40,000, and then had to retreat in Yanmen Pass. Of course! Youzhou army of 50,000, especially the Youzhou iron cavalry, is equal to the Hun light cavalry combat power. Now! Yanmen Pass, but gathered 190,000 troops.

Moreover! The martial army led by Wei Chiyan, after recuperating and recuperating, has recovered as before, but! At this time, low morale was the biggest flaw of the armed army.

Seeing that Emperor Xuanwu nodded unexpectedly and seemed to be very satisfied, the crown prince, Cai Zhong, and Ye Yi all began to be anxious, "Your Majesty! Although the King of Qin has made great achievements, he is too young, if he drags all the northern wars to him, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything? ”

Cai Zhong said eagerly.

The crown prince Dongfang Zhi also seconded the proposal, "Father! Doctor Yu Shi is right, although the sixth brother has a peerless talent, his age is really ......"

Hum!

Without waiting for Dongfang Zhi to finish the words in his mouth, one person came forward angrily.

pointed his finger at Dongfang Zhi's nose and said angrily: "The prince's nonsense is alarmist. The feat of King Qin is obvious to all, the general is defeated, life and death are unknown, and General Wei is stuck to Yanmen Pass, and there is no way. Looking at the whole world, who else can lead the war in the north except King Qin. ”

It's none other than someone else! It is the son of Liu Wenlong, Liu Wenwen is a Zhongshu Ling, and he is also a member of the three grades, plus the two identities of General Liu Wenlong and brother-in-law Dongfang Yu, but he is not afraid of the prince at all.

But! Pointing at the crown prince did anger the majesty of the royal family.

"Liu article, you swear! The prince's majesty, how can you finger it? Without waiting for Dongfang to ask for the crime, Ye Yi scolded first.

Liu Wenwen disdained to talk to this old horseman, and looked directly at the prince.

The prince was almost speechless, leaking the secrets of the army, it was all done by him, and the defeat of the military army was also done by him, at this time! What else can I say.

Liu Wenwen paused, swept over those ministers, he could understand that how many of these ministers who shared his Majesty's worries were sincere. If the general dies in battle, he will give Luo Qi to the Huns, not to mention defeating the country!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is invited to make a decision! Liu Wenwen said resolutely.

Since hearing the news of Liu Wenlong's death in battle, Liu Wenwen seems to have changed as a person, and his scholarly spirit has faded a lot. In the eyes, there is a sharp side.

Liu Wenwen understands a truth, from Wen Weiwu, it is never what it should be in troubled times.

Emperor Xuanwu frowned, got up suddenly, and said: "Spread my will, announce it to the world, and appoint the King of Qin as the northern battlefield, the generalissimo of Pingliao, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the troops of the three states, which can be mobilized at any time." ”

"Appoint Wang Mingzhang as the conscription department, in Yunnan, Deng, Tai and other prefectures, within a month, 200,000 troops must be conscripted, and then collect grain and grass from the world."

"Zhongshu Lingliu article, offended the emperor's prestige, but read his family's merits, exempt him from his crimes, more than a month later! led 200,000 recruits to the north to resist Liao. ”

"Zhao can't be changed! Retreat! ”

Emperor Xuanwu waved his arms and retreated.

Leaving the helpless minister, looking at each other.

It was Liu Wenwen, but his heart was excited and tight. But I'm a little worried, when he leaves, Liufu, but his mother is left alone, but how can it be good?
