Now the top officials of the Chen Emperor Empire are very anxious and worried.
The war on all sides plus the civil strife was almost complete. Finally, the northern war situation was completely ended, and there was room to support the other three parties. However, this happened: the entire western front was defeated!
This news really adds insult to injury.
The situation, which had finally improved, became extremely dangerous once again because of this incident.
Ye Nantian's Zhenbei Army is still mopping up the remnants of the grassland. Even if they want to withdraw and return reinforcements at full speed, it cannot be done in a month.
The battle to the east is in full swing. Su Dingguo and Zhan Qianshan are matched against each other and will meet talented people. They will not give in. It is absolutely impossible to draw out manpower. If they forcefully draw out men, I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of by the other side, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
.
Although the war situation in the south where General Lan is located is relatively stable, it is still beyond his reach. It is difficult to save the fire from afar.
The direct result of the complete defeat of the war in the west is that millions of iron hooves from the Blue Wind Empire have stepped into the Chenhuang territory. It only takes half a month at most to reach the Chenhuang hinterland!
The soldiers are pointing directly at Chenxing City!
If the central hinterland is invaded and His Majesty the Emperor is caught in a trap, what is the use even if the three defense lines can be stabilized?
Must be blocked!
But the current situation is that all the generals who know how to fight and are able to fight are all fighting outside, and the entire empire cannot find a single available general.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned, and his face became increasingly ugly as he saw the ministers discussing in vain.
Do you really want me to conquer it personally?
But the question now is, even if the imperial commander personally marches, how many troops can be mobilized?
Now, the whole country is empty...
Other countries have been able to support themselves until now with soldiers and no money, but the situation of the Chen Emperor Kingdom is the opposite. It has abundant military expenditures but no soldiers. It is always said that a clever woman cannot cook without rice, but now she has rice to cook with, but no soldiers.
Qiao woman, what is going on?!
However, at this moment, Zuo Wuji, who was in the corner, looked up at His Majesty the Emperor and hesitated to speak.
His current position in the palace can be said to be the lowest; he has no official position at all; so everyone will not discuss it with him...
But His Majesty the Emperor was clearly very interested in this Zuo Wuji. Seeing his hesitant look on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "Zuo Wuji, what do you have to say? The country is now in the hiring period.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to say so!"
Zuo Wuji stepped out from the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, when the enemy invades Chenhuang's territory, Chenhuang is not short of money and food, and there are ways to raise soldiers. The only thing he lacks is a commander. I would like to recommend him.
As long as this person goes to battle, he can definitely defeat the Blue Wind Empire army!"
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes lit up: "Who is that person?"
"That man is Ye Xiao, the son of General Ye Nantian of the Zhenbei General Mansion;" Zuo Wuji said: "As long as Master Ye leads the troops into battle, the empire's crisis will be easily resolved."
"Absurd!" Before His Majesty the Emperor could speak, a minister stood up and angrily shouted: "Zuo Wuji, you are such a yellow-tongued boy, you are talking nonsense, you think this military war is a child's play? How dare you recommend such a dandy to fight, you are in trouble.
You can say it!"
Zuo Wuji smiled lightly, but did not say anything to refute.
Seeing that Zuo Wuji had no rebuttal, everyone thought it was because of his cowardice, and the crowd suddenly became angry. All the ministers accused Zuo Wuji of not knowing the general situation and making fun of the fate of the country.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up!
Others may not know, but how could His Majesty the Emperor not know the abilities of Song Jue, Ye Nantian's sworn brother? He is definitely a peerless general who can behead an admiral in a million-strong army as if he were trying to retrieve something from a bag!
Especially for the former, Sun Congfeng of the royal family once made a speech to His Majesty the Emperor, saying that Song Jue's strength was far superior to him and that of a group of royal family members. The cultivation level of a group of royal family members were at least high-level in the Tianyuan realm, especially Sun Congfeng's strength.
He has reached the peak level of Tianyuan Realm. If Song Jue's strength is much higher, wouldn't it be that he is already a world-class legend?
Although Zuo Wuji nominally recommended Ye Xiao, His Majesty the Emperor knew that there was something in Zuo Wuji's words, and the one he really recommended was Song Jue.
As long as Ye Xiao goes to the battlefield, just from the perspective of protecting Ye Xiao, Song Jue has to go!
As long as Song Jue goes...
With Song Jue's temper and fighting prowess, isn't he invincible?
<>We only hear people chanting swords, but how can we be the opponent of the gods?
His Majesty the Emperor pretended to be deep in thought and said: "Ye Xiao... may not be a suitable candidate..."
The officials who were attacking Zuo Wuji and enjoying the attack were all stunned.
The right candidate?
Your Majesty, what do you think?
That was Ye Xiao. According to legend, the leader of the three major dandies in the capital, the one who narrowly escaped death a few days ago, could he go to the battlefield with his small body?!
His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Zuo Wuji, who glanced at him secretly and whispered: "As far as I know, Butler Song has a close personal relationship with Feng Junzuo of Lingbao Pavilion..."
His Majesty the Emperor was the only one who heard this sentence, but why did he finalize this suggestion?
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes suddenly brightened, and Long Yan said happily: "Okay! It's settled! According to the decree, Ye Xiao is made the General of Zhenxi, commanding a hundred thousand Yulin Army, and goes to the northwest to drive away Lan Feng!"
This imperial edict that no one expected really blinded everyone’s eyes!
No one could have imagined that His Majesty the Emperor would act so insistently and directly issue an order!
"Your Majesty, please think twice..." Several ministers knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces: "This is about the safety of the country, the country, and the country, so please think twice..."
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said: "My decision has been made! No need to say more, gentlemen, I believe that Ye Xiao has his father's style and can turn the tide and defeat Lan Feng!"
The ministers looked at each other in shock.
Your Majesty, where do you get such confidence?
Just because he is Ye Nantian's son? That's just a dude...
Do you think that everyone is a prodigal, and that the prodigal will never be replaced by gold?!
But, no matter what, under His Majesty the Emperor’s arbitrariness, Young Master Ye actually became the commander-in-chief of the army at this moment!
Everyone found this matter extremely ridiculous.
Only two people have confidence in their hearts.
One is Zuo Wuji, who knows Ye Xiao’s own strength and hidden identity;
And the other one is naturally His Majesty the Emperor. It’s a matter of opinion as to whether Ye Xiao’s own strength is comparable to Lan Langlang, but Ye Xiao has Song Jue by his side!
When Song Jue followed Ye Nantian into the battle, His Majesty the Emperor had witnessed that unparalleled power with his own eyes; naturally he was full of confidence!
Later, Ye Nantian sent Song Jue back as a housekeeper, which made His Majesty the Emperor sigh for a long time...
Such a peerless warrior was actually sent to be a butler...
What a waste of resources...
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor also knew that this housekeeper was also Ye Xiao's nanny, the last line of defense to protect Ye Xiao! Although it was a pity, there was nothing that could be done.
Now, at this critical moment of war, Ye Xiao's name can be used to force this guy out.
Soldiers are valuable and quick, and since His Majesty the Emperor insisted on letting Ye Xiao go on the expedition against all opinions, everything that followed was done vigorously and resolutely.
When the imperial edict was issued, the tiger talisman was directly given to him.
Immediately, troops and horses were mobilized and the assembly began.
