Chapter 716 The palace strives to lead the three armies
After galloping all the way to the palace, Feng Yu went directly to His Majesty and the civil and military officials who were attending court in the main hall.
"Qin Junze returned to Beijing to ask for an audience with His Majesty!"
The emperor had just learned about the return of King Huai, but he didn't expect that the man in the blink of an eye was at the door.
"come on in!"
Feng Yu walked in dusty and dusty, with some dirty marks on his body.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"Your Majesty, please get up. The trip to Southern Chu has been hard."
Feng Yu got straight to the point, not caring about the opinions of the ministers on the side, "Father, my son, please fight in the wilderness of Beiyan!"
Of course Qin Ke knew Feng Yu's purpose of coming back, but he never agreed because he hadn't found a better way yet.
"Nonsense! What are you going to do against them!"
"My son has been going all the way north. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the three states have gathered together. Including the imperial guards in the capital, the number can reach as many as fifty thousand. The old prince is trapped in the wilderness. One more day of delay will be a day of danger."
The ministers on the side were not happy. In their view, even if the northern border was defeated and the troops were gathered, the capital could still be defended. In addition, the southern land would have no chance of making a comeback. There was no chance of winning this battle.
"His Royal Highness King Huai's move is really ridiculous! What can Beiyan's 500,000 strong soldiers and only 50,000 do? And the forbidden army is guarding the capital, how can they leave! Do you want to ignore the foundation of the country?"
"Guo Ben? What is Guo Ben? Are you Guo Ben while you are still alive!"
"You, you are presumptuous!"
"You are the one who is presumptuous! If the northern border is lost, the 300,000 soldiers and horses led by the old prince will be completely wiped out. Even if the Japanese can no longer harass us, the army of the Western Jin Dynasty will kill us at any time! Do you think the land of Hezhou is still there?
Can it be saved?"
Shi Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not reject this idea, because he had secretly discussed with His Majesty that the imperial army was ready to go, and the only thing left was to lead the army. He was not one of those who only had himself.
"Your Highness, even with these 50,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket."
"Fashion book, everything depends on people. If you don't change in the face of the results, you will only make one step wrong. Uncle Sheng has sent a letter to Xixia to Beijing. As long as Xixia is willing to send troops, he will definitely be able to rescue our Tang army!"
"The question is, how can we ensure that Xixia will send troops? Moreover, there is also the Western Jin Dynasty who is eyeing Qingzhou, so I am afraid that we may have more than enough ambition but not enough power."
"This~"
Feng Yu didn't know how to answer. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Mingwen and the Ming family, but that the Western Jin army in Qingzhou was indeed an insurmountable mountain.
The emperor raised his hand, "This matter has been discussed for several days, and today is the last day. I have made up my mind, and someone is here to draft the decree!"
"Your Majesty, you~"
"My order! Tang Dynasty, fight to the death! For thousands of years, the Tang people have never lived without scruples. This has always been the case, and it is still the same today! The danger in the north is where the people of the Tang Dynasty aspire. Where the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is the foundation of the country! Forbidden Army
Prepare for war and prepare for the northern expedition at any time. The officers and soldiers outside the city work together to kill the thieves! In addition, the generals who will go north for this trip can be selected from the army. There are also notices on the city walls that they can be selected from the people. All talented people will be reused!
Draft an imperial edict and inform all the world that today is the country's predicament, so we use all the resources of the national treasury to purchase grain, grass, and military supplies. If there are men in the family who are with the army, one of them will be exempted from tax for one year. Those who have made outstanding contributions will be rewarded according to the law!"
"Your Majesty, think twice. If you do this, I'm afraid that if you fight with your backs against the odds, you will never be able to recover."
"The power to return to heaven? How can I return to heaven? If heaven wants to kill me, I will fight against heaven! How can I, a man from the Tang Dynasty, have such a fearful person like you? I am stripped of my official position and demoted to a commoner. I will not be employed in this life!"
Feng Yu didn't expect that everything had been arranged. Even if he didn't come back, I'm afraid the imperial army would still go north.
"Father, I am willing to lead the army."
The emperor looked at him deeply and did not respond.
"Junze, if you are defeated in the battle of Qingzhou, I am afraid that the entire army may not obey you. You should not participate in this battle. Stay in the capital and understand it well."
Feng Yu was immediately stunned. He never thought it would be like this?
Looking at the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty, there should be no one more suitable than myself.
"Father, I~"
"Needless to say, I have asked the prince to return to the East Palace to prepare. This battle will be fought by the prince himself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.
What is this operation?
His Highness Prince Huai's defeat in Qingzhou was understandable. Moreover, he went south to support the East China Sea and defended Nanchu. He fought very beautifully. Not only was he unparalleled in knowledge, but he also saw all over the battlefield. Why would the prince go on an expedition?
Feng Yu knelt on his knees, "Father, the prince is the crown prince, how can he leave so easily? Qingzhou, my son, is guilty. I am willing to pay for my crime and make meritorious service. Please give me a chance!"
"That's enough. Let's retreat. We will send troops in two days. I'm tired too."
Everyone turned around and left in disbelief, not knowing what His Majesty was thinking.
"Tell me, is His Majesty confused? If you want to fight, just fight. After all, the Tang State is not afraid. At worst, the whole country will fight, but how can the commander-in-chief of the three armies do this~"
"Shh, keep your voice down, this is the palace."
"Why are you panicking? I'm just telling the truth. I just feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is not as good as His Highness Prince Huai in fighting."
"It's not something we can decide. Forget it. Don't send you there then."
In the harem, the emperor, the queen and concubine Yu were sitting in the pavilion. No one dared to speak first, and the father-in-law next to them did not even dare to breathe.
"Sigh, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to do this?"
"Your Majesty, you feel sorry for Ze'er too, and I don't blame you. He shouldn't have gotten involved in this in the first place. This time Beiyan's approach with an army of 500,000 was unexpected, and it was inevitable that he would be a little hesitant to deal with it."
The emperor leaned back on his chair, his face full of exhaustion, "Qin Xiao has already set off. He plans to take the initiative to attack the Western Jin Dynasty and buy time and possibility for Xixia to send troops to support."
"Your Majesty, Xixia is an outsider after all. I'm afraid they may not be able to help in this matter. After all, they are also the same faction as the Western Jin. If they really send out troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect themselves. Moreover, the capital city has not been able to protect itself recently.
It’s peaceful, but there’s a lot of civil unrest.”
"Originally there was a chance, but it just took time. Now I didn't expect that Beiyan would choose such a move. It seems that the real decisive battle has begun."
Fourth Eunuch Hong came over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Huai would like to see you."
"This kid probably wants me to take his life back."
Concubine Yu said: "Let him come in."
Feng Yu didn't even wait for the results to be announced. He used Qing Kung Fu and walked directly onto the water with an impatient look on his face.
"Father, it's really not appropriate for my eldest brother to go. If something goes wrong, what will the Tang Kingdom do in the future?"
"You, you have to be so stubborn, why can't you think about yourself? Wuxia happens to be here, and grandpa is here, what is more important than family reunion? Isn't it good to have a peaceful life in a few days?" I didn't expect it to be for this reason.
, Feng Yu was stunned, but only for a moment.
"I had already thought very clearly when I came here. There is no one more suitable than me. My eldest brother can govern the country, but he has no experience at all in leading troops and fighting. He is not good at using force. It is not easy to fight in the first place. In this way,
Isn’t it child’s play?”
"Why, you look down on me?"
Crown Prince Qin Junyu and Crown Princess Chang Lingxian came over, and their voices came directly from behind Feng Yu.
"Big brother and sister-in-law."
"Don't call me brother, you're talking about me being useless."
"Brother, you can see that the situation in the government is not stable. You are the prince and you have many things to do, so why do you have to do this?"
"You can die, but I can't!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the emperor stopped them directly.
"Shut up, everyone! It's endless, isn't it? Junze, you are also a citizen of our Tang country, shouldn't I think about you? The prince is the son of my Qin family and is of royal blood. This is his responsibility.
"
"Responsibility sucks!"
This curse word was such that no one could react.
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I went all the way north without stopping at all, but the soldiers from the three states, whose total number was only ten thousand, still showed no fear. Even though they knew that the 500,000-strong Northern Yan army was ahead, they still had no hesitation.
The ground is coming, why don’t you think about them?”
"They are soldiers!"
"I am the same! From the beginning! Shouldn't I be responsible for the lives and deaths of so many people? If you really think about the people of the Tang Dynasty, then no matter how you send me, you are more confident than your elder brother! Even if you can save one more point, that's good.
Yes! This is called taking responsibility for the world!"
The emperor almost jumped out of anger. He must have eaten that divine cannon! He was so angry!
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know that my father is a wise king. I have always had no objections to all of my father's arrangements, not because I am loyal, but because I know that it is right. A wise king should do the right thing, not
With selfish motives! Back then, the Xia family was able to brave the world's disapproval, and I can do the same today!"
"You, aren't you afraid that the Xia family will die out? Have you ever considered your parents?"
"I also read a lot of books when I was in the martial arts academy. The ancients said: Life is what I want, and what I want is more than the living, so I don't want to get it; death is what I hate, and what I want is worse than the dead.
Therefore, there is no way to solve the problem. There are some things that there is no need to torture yourself to make choices, because they should not be chosen in the first place."
The prince grabbed him and said, "Then I will die in front of you too! I am your eldest brother!"
Feng Yu smiled and patted his hand away, "Brother, you will always be my big brother and always will be. Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive."
"you!"
The emperor sighed, "You are right, I do have selfish motives in this matter, but you have to promise me that you must come back alive!"
Feng Yu finally stood up, "I thank my father! I swear to the sky that I will come back alive from this battle. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by five thunders!"
Concubine Yu hit him lightly and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you silly boy!"
"Remember, there is already too much blood on Heroic Soul Mountain."
Feng Yu bowed down and bowed to his father, the emperor, his mother, his concubine, and Aunt Yun as a farewell, then turned around and left without looking back, just like when he left his parents.
