Princess Medical Doctor - 136. Chapter 136
Eight hundred miles plus urgent battle report, 500,000 troops of the Northern Calendar are crushing the territory!
The news came so suddenly, but it was so natural.
Xiao Tianyao holds a heavy soldier in his hand and has stood tall in Dongwen for decades. How could he not have any means.
From the age of fifteen, he has held a 300,000 army and managed the 300,000 army in a persevering manner. How could he be a good person.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Beili suddenly sent troops to attack Dongwen, and this must have something to do with Xiao Tianyao. But no one dared to say it, because…
Xiao Tianyao didn’t need to do anything. As long as Beili knew that Xiao Tianyao had injured his legs and the military power was seized by the emperor, the Beili people would send troops to attack Dongwen, even if they were taking risks, they would have to try.
For the people of the Northern Libraries, death in battle is death, and death by starvation is death. The former can at least be full, and maybe even survive.
Although the Beili attack on Dongwen was sudden, the emperor was not unprepared.
The day when the battle report was received, everyone really panicked. Even the emperor was shocked, but the emperor soon calmed down.
When he took action to clean up Xiao Tianyao, the Dongwen Emperor was ready to attack Dongwen.
“I don’t believe it. Only Xiao Tianyao, a huge Dongwen, can lead troops to fight. I have a large number of talents in my hands, and I can easily lay out the Beili and take back the lost ground.”
The emperor was full of confidence, so he summoned the left and right ministers, the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Household Affairs to discuss matters.
Before the soldiers and horses, good grass goes first. To fight the national treasury, you must first have money, and the country must first have food.
The Hubu Shangshu had been prepared for a long time, and before the emperor opened his mouth, he presented the paper, “The money of the national treasury and the granaries of various places can support the march of 800,000 troops for one year.”
The richness of Dongwen is not just talking about it. Adding up the other three countries, I am afraid it can only be about the same as Dongwen.
“Okay, very good. With grain and grass, soldiers and horses, I don’t believe that I can’t beat the small Northern Calendar.” With sufficient grain and grass, the emperor is more confident.
Shangshu of the Ministry of War also made arrangements early, “Weapons and horses have been prepared for 500,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry. All weapons can be used at any time. In addition, the lower officials have ordered craftsmen to continue to build weapons to ensure front-line weapons. Constantly.”
The ministers of the military affairs office also received early hints from the emperor and arranged the soldiers long ago. They have 500,000 soldiers and horses at their disposal, which does not include the 300,000 people who have just taken over from Xiao Tianyao.
“The emperor, does the man and horse in Lord Xiao’s hand need to be sent to the front line?” If you want to consume the soldiers and horses in Xiao Tianyao’s hands, this is an excellent opportunity.
After all, it is not easy to encounter a big battle.
The emperor thought, but: “Send his men to the front line, who will lead the soldiers?” He just shut Xiao Tianyao’s confidant, can’t he use it now, right?
This is indeed a difficult problem.
It is impossible to release the people in the prison; transfer people from other places and fear that they will not be able to subdue the crowd; the promotion of small soldiers from the same place is also Xiao Tianyao’s confidant.
After some discussion, the military officials were reluctant to miss this opportunity, and unanimously decided to send 300,000 soldiers and horses from Xiao Tianyao to the front.
“The soldiers and horses in the hands of King Xiao had fought against the people of the Northern Calendar, and had experience. All 300,000 troops were sent out.” The emperor threw a high-sounding reason, and the others had no objection.
Small things are finalized, the hardest to choose is the coach.
The Four Kingdoms know how good the people in the Northern Calendar are. If the coach is not capable enough, it will be useless to have more soldiers and horses.
“General Zhou Yuan Huaide has fought many times and has an extraordinary record. The minister thinks that he can be a deputy.” Lin Xiang began to place his own people.
Forget the coach, the responsibility is too great, Lin Xiang just wants to put a few small people in to mix up his military merits.
Not to be reconciled to the weak, the rightist also pushed a man of his own in, also serving as a lieutenant.
He is Dongwen’s right phase, and his own surname is right, so it is normal to call him right phase.
The two of them occupy two positions to balance and supervise each other. Most importantly, the people recommended by both the left and the right have the strength, and the emperor has no reason to disagree.
Of course, the left side and the right side have benefited, and there will be no fewer other people. They are just non-important people, and there is no need to pretend to the emperor.
The emperor asked again: “Can someone choose the coach?” This is the most important candidate. Whether it is from the left or the right, he dare not speak easily.
The emperor waited for a long time and didn’t wait for the answer. His complexion immediately became a little bad, and Lin Xiang hurriedly said: “The emperor, what do you think of Weibei? He is a veteran, and he will be stable if he is in the army.”
Although Lin Xiang has selfish motives, he can distinguish the importance. He recommends Wei Beihou purely because he thinks this person is suitable, without any selfish motives.
The emperor did not agree or deny, only saying: “Weibei is fifty-two this year.” His age was a bit older.
Upon seeing this, he hurriedly said: “Xinyi Hou Liu Jie, his father was also a strong general back then, Liu Jie himself is also familiar with the military books, and his strategy of war is perfect.”
“Liu Jie is not bad, but… he has never led the army before, I’m afraid he won’t be able to convince the crowd.” Although he didn’t directly deny it, he didn’t agree.
Lin Xiang and You Xiang were not sure what the emperor meant, and recommended a few people they thought were extremely suitable, but the emperor rejected all of them.
The two secretly pondered, and they vaguely understood that the emperor was afraid that there was a candidate in his heart, so even if the person they mentioned was suitable, the emperor could find a reason to say no.
Those who have prestige are too old; those who are young are too inexperienced. Someone who is prestigious and young, they think they can’t deal with King Xiao, and can’t mobilize the soldiers in King Xiao’s hands; those who are young and have prestige can mobilize King Xiao’s soldiers, and think that they are too close to King Xiao. It makes people wonder what to do.
The two old foxes, Lin Xiang and You Xiang, had to put aside their previous suspicions and think about candidates together at this time.
The two are worthy of being old foxes. When they meet like this, they think of an excellent candidate: “Zhen Guo Gong Meng Shi!”
During the Meng period, the current Lord Zhen Guo, who was Lin Chujiu’s eldest uncle, was close to Xiao Tianyao, but not so close.
Before Lin Chujiu married Xiao Tianyao, there was no intersection between the town government and Xiao Tianyao. Of course, after Lin Chujiu married Xiao Tianyao, the two sides did not have much intersection.
Regardless of whether the two sides have friendship or not, the identity of Mengshi is there. With the identity of the uncle of Princess Xiao, the group of people who belonged to King Xiao will give Mengshi a little bit of face. And Meng Shi himself was not familiar with Xiao Tianyao, nor was he a member of Xiao Tianyao’s faction.
Moreover, if this battle is won when Mengshi, the people in King Xiao’s hand will naturally be taken over by Mengshi. On the contrary, if Mengshi loses, it will consume Xiao Tianyao’s group of people.
Whether it is winning or losing, Xiao Wang’s Mansion and Liang Zi of Zhen Guo Gong’s Mansion are forged. After this battle, the two sides couldn’t get together, even if there was Lin Chujiu as a bridge in between.
As for whether Lin Chujiu would not be able to gain a foothold in King Xiao’s Mansion because of this, and he was disgusted by his grandparents’ family in Zhen Gong Mansion, then it has nothing to do with them!
