On December 1 of the twelfth year of Yuanhe, Heishui Province and Taiyuan Province fell, Tanzhou, Haizhou, and Youzhou were in an emergency, and the Suzaku Dynasty was ready to move, and 300,000 troops were marching towards the border pass!

One by one, the shocking news came out, and the people of the whole country fell into a panic, even at the foot of the emperor of the imperial city, the people were panicked, and the four dynasties were determined to eat the Tianyang Dynasty in one bite this time, and they fell into an embattled situation all of a sudden.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that this dynasty is being attacked from all sides, do you have a good plan?" On the brand-new dragon chair, Emperor Yang's gaze swept over the ministers, and his tone was calm.

There was silence for a while, the ministers looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak, everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, the four major dynasties attacked at the same time, and with such a tacit understanding, the current Tianyang Dynasty can be said to be in danger.

If the Tianyang royal family dies, they may be able to continue to be courtiers of the new court, but there will definitely not be the current scenery, after all, they are the ministers of the dead country.

With such a matter of life and death, who dares to speak easily?

Emperor Yang's eyes did not fluctuate, but the temperature in the main hall slowly decreased, and a coldness hit everyone's hearts.

Finally, a white-bearded old man dressed in a second-grade official uniform came out of class and said: "Back to the emperor, the four major dynasties are menacing, ten years ago it was difficult to resist only the blood moon country, and now this dynasty is weak, but there are enemies on all sides, if it is a hard touch, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, the old minister thinks, it is better to temporarily seek peace, as a strategy to maintain obscurity." ”

When the words fell, several officials above the third grade came out in a row, and echoed: "What Chen Shilang said is very true, it is really the best policy to endure the humiliation for a while but to protect the society of the dynasty!"

"Nonsense!" Before Emperor Yang could speak, an angry voice came out from among the hundred officials, and under the cold gaze of the ministers of the Lord and He, a burly general with a resolute face stepped out.

The sharp gaze fell directly on Chen Shilang, and he snorted coldly: "The eldest husband only dies by standing, and there is no reason to live on his knees, as an important minister in the court, he doesn't think about how to serve the emperor when he is in danger, but he opens his mouth and closes his mouth to seek peace.

"General Yang! Speak in a measured manner, this official advocates peace and discussion precisely for the sake of the country's society, so as to avoid the disaster of the army, what does it mean to be greedy for life and afraid of death? Is it possible to serve the emperor knowing that he is invincible and has to hit the stone with an egg and ignore the people of the country and the country?" Chen Shilang said in a deep voice.

General Yang sneered and said: "When will the wolf ambitions of the four great dynasties violate the borders of their own dynasties, when will they be less than the disaster of soldiers? If you are cowardly before you fight, you are really misleading the country and the people! Lord Chen has done this act of losing power and humiliating the country, and where are the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country?"

Without waiting for Chen Shilang to refute, he turned to face Emperor Yang, pushed Jin Shan and knelt down like a jade pillar, and said generously: "Your Majesty, the act of seeking peace not only cannot save the crisis, but weakens the morale of our army.

"Your Majesty, please fight!"

Among the hundred officials, there were several military generals in the ranks, kneeling behind General Yang, their voices were heavy and firm, when the country was in trouble, wasn't it the time when they needed these generals to come forward and serve the imperial court?

General Yang's words made their blood boil, if they could save the country from danger, what a pity!

Dying on the battlefield is their best destination.

"You...... You, a bunch of reckless men!" Chen Shilang was so angry that his white beard stood up.

Facing Emperor Yang, he said: "The emperor must not! The four major dynasties are powerful, and our dynasty cannot be able to defeat them, Xuanwu and Suzaku have not really sent troops, our dynasty has been defeated in successive battles, lost several provinces, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died on the battlefield, and the people have been ruthlessly slaughtered.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" a large group of civil officials followed behind Chen Shilang and agreed to the peace agreement.

"Your Majesty, a temporary defeat does not mean that you will be defeated forever, although the four great dynasties are powerful, this dynasty's thousand-year-old foundation is by no means a sheep without fangs, if you use people properly, you will be able to expel all the enemies!" General Yang retorted.

"Your Majesty, you can't! If you are defeated again, and the strong enemy drives straight in, what will I use to resist?"

“......”

Seeing that the ministers and generals below insisted on their own words and argued endlessly, Emperor Yang was expressionless, and looked at one of the ministers who had not spoken: "Lu Aiqing, you are the secretary of the military department, whether it is war or peace, you can get an idea." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the ministers all fell on Lu Shangshu, and their eyes were different.

"Go back to the emperor. Lu Shangshu ignored the gaze of the rest of the people, saluted to Emperor Yang, and said: "Weichen thinks that the ambition of the wolf son of the four major dynasties may have been allied from the analysis of the military newspaper, it can be seen that there is an ambition to annex our dynasty, and seeking peace is just a humiliation.

Emperor Yang nodded slightly and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes, the minister thinks that it is necessary not to fight, but how to fight needs to be carefully considered and not hasty. ”

Lu Shangshu continued: "Now that the dynasty is being attacked on all sides, especially in the north and east, the situation is the most urgent, how to send troops needs to be considered in the long run, the first thing is, who is the commander?"

"Lu Aiqing, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Emperor Yang asked lightly.

"Back to the emperor, this operation is not trivial, in general, you can send four armies to fight in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each army set up a commander, and then set up a generalissimo to lead an army in the center to deal with the overall situation, so five marshals who are proficient in military affairs are needed, and Weichen can only think of a suitable candidate for a while. ”

"Who?" asked Emperor Yang with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.

"It is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the year, the old marshal Ye Wuheng, the Ye family is a family of generals, the old marshal is the southern and northern wars for hundreds of years, the war achievements are impressive, and he is loyal to the emperor. Lu Shangshu replied.

"However, Marshal Ye has resigned for many years, and it doesn't seem appropriate to let him be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses. Another minister stroked his beard and spoke.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and only Marshal Ye can take on this important task at the moment, I believe that the old marshal will agree. Another minister said with a smile.

"It's still not appropriate, the Ye family is thin, now that the old marshal Ye is old, and the young marshal died on the battlefield ten years ago, there is only one granddaughter of the county lord of Yuning, if something goes wrong, how can I bear it?" said the minister who objected just now.

"Lord Lin's words are wrong, Marshal Ye is serving as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he only needs to judge the situation and dispatch troops, and he is not going to the front line to fight in person, what can be wrong? Besides, if this crisis cannot be resolved, the enemy army will attack this imperial city, how can the Ye family be alone?" another minister retorted.

"You are using strong words, I have so many talents in the Tianyang Dynasty, is there no one except the old handsome?"

"Having said that, the old marshal is the best candidate, and if he changes someone else, not to mention whether he has the ability to take on this important task, whether he can serve the public is a big problem, the battlefields on all sides are far apart, if the four-way army refuses to obey the orders of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, isn't it a big mistake?"

"This ......"

"Okay, the two adults don't have to fight, let's ask the emperor to take an idea. Lu Shangshu smiled to stop the quarrel between the two, and the ministers looked at Emperor Yang together.

"There is no need for the Qing family to argue, I have made up my mind, and Ye Guogong will be appointed as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the commander of the other four armies will be selected by Lu Shangshu. Emperor Yang smiled lightly and said, it was a foregone conclusion.

"Obey the order!" Lu Shangshu bowed in response.

Lord Lin stared at the minister coldly and stood back in place.

"Hehe!" the minister sneered, not paying attention.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do. He faced the Yang Emperor and spoke.

"Quasi-play. ”

"Your Majesty, for this expedition, the minister has a suggestion that I don't know if it is feasible. He said hesitantly.

"Say, whatever you say, I will forgive you without sin. Emperor Yang naturally knew what he was worried about, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The minister thanked him, and then said: "This expedition is related to the survival of the country, the minister thinks that tactics are important, morale is equally important, the minister has the courage to suggest, by the prince of the dynasty as the supervisor of the army, with the army of all walks of life, in order to demonstrate the determination of our dynasty to resist foreign enemies, one can improve the morale of the soldiers, dare to use their lives on the battlefield, the second can test the ability of the princes, and the third can avoid the commander from being stubborn, arbitrary, and make some wrong decisions, which is a lot of success in one fell swoop." ”

"Bold! The prince's status is noble, how can he be in danger, Lord Wei, what kind of heart do you have?" As soon as the words fell, Lord Lin reprimanded, and the rest of the ministers also whispered.

That's a bold statement!

You must know that the prison army is to go with the army and go to the front line in person, and when you arrive on the battlefield, the enemy will not let you go because you are the prince, but will further provoke their killing intentions, and they will be attacked as the main target, and the danger is self-evident.

The ancients said: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the dignity of a dignified son?

"What Wei Chen said came from the bottom of his heart, the prince as a supervisor of the army, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, if the emperor thinks that Wei Chen's intentions are negative, the minister is willing to kill!" Lord Wei ignored the gaze of the ministers, just looked at the Yang Emperor who looked at him, and his words were fierce.
