"How is the situation? You can analyze it with your ministers and ministers. I have not cared about the affairs of the government in recent years, but there is a bottom line. You cannot give up an inch of the country. After the last defeat, the people of the Northern Desert are determined to make a comeback.
Yes, our fertile land in the Northern Tang Dynasty has been coveted by them for hundreds of years, and they will never give up unless they are severely defeated."
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a while, but still insisted on what he meant, "My son actually has a plan and wants to send someone to negotiate."
The Supreme Emperor said coldly: "Negotiation? What conditions do you want to negotiate? Cease the land? Send money every year?"
"This is naturally impossible."
"The people of the Northern Desert have no benefit at all, so why do they want to negotiate with us? Do you plan to send someone to persuade them to withdraw? Or do you want to tell them with your mouth how powerful our military power is?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "People in the Northern Desert should also know that if there is a war, the people of both countries will suffer. I hope that the Emperor of Chu in the Northern Desert will sincerely sympathize with the people and not start a war to avoid the destruction of the people!"
"It's ridiculous. People in the Northern Desert have not understood this truth for hundreds of years. You send people to talk about it and you understand it? Understand? Enlightenment? It's a wonderful thought, but no matter how many people you send, a battle is inevitable in the end, because the Northern Desert
Mo is an ambitious man in power. It is impossible to persuade the overlord of one party to stop the occupation. We in the Northern Tang Dynasty do not have such capable men and wise men."
Emperor Ming Yuan remained silent. He actually knew that the chance of successful peace talks was very slim. However, declaring war like this would do too much harm to the country. How could he let the country fall into war again?
Today's achievements are the fruits of decades of single-minded efforts by the Northern Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers. Now they are destroyed by the war, and all the political achievements of his reign will be wiped out.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say!" The First Assistant stepped forward and held his hands, looking at Emperor Ming Yuan firmly, "I believe that when we go to war now, we are fighting instead of declaring war. In fact, the initiative to declare war has always been in the Northern Desert.
We have always tolerated Mo's repeated provocations. No matter whether it is ministers or ordinary people, they all feel that the people of Bei Mo are weak and weak. National strength is often reflected in the integrity of a nation. Bei Mo
Why are they so scary? Is it really because their cavalry is invincible? No, it happens to be their courage to do whatever it takes and not to look back. Our retreat has strengthened their confidence. We cannot retreat. Your Majesty, retreat any further.
The cavalry from the Northern Desert are about to travel thousands of miles across the mountains and rivers of the Northern Tang Dynasty. Why should the Emperor be afraid of it? The veterans and others are still strong-willed and willing to fight with the Northern Desert to share the worries for the Emperor and the Northern Tang Dynasty."
In the Qiankun Hall, the door outside was closed. After Emperor Ming Yuan came in, he left for a full hour. Outside the imperial study, all the ministers waited for a long time. After finally waiting for Emperor Ming Yuan to come back, Emperor Ming Yuan directly canceled today's call.
, everyone went into the imperial study room to discuss a major matter.
Yu Wenhao originally came with the intention of persuading the Supreme Emperor to retreat, but in the end he was summoned to the imperial study to discuss the matter of going to war.
There were still courtiers who objected, but this time Emperor Ming Yuan went to great lengths to fight against all opinions and stood with Prince Yu Wenhao. Although some of the opponents were not convinced, the drums of war were already beating.
The Beiying Army was quickly mobilized to fight against Bei Mo. Although there was no fanfare and the troops were mobilized secretly, many people got the news. Bei Mo had invaded the country for many years and had been reluctant to retreat. Today, the battle was finally going to go out. The people were encouraged and excited by it.
Xiaoyao Gong took command, and the Supreme Emperor and Chu Shoufu served as supervisors. Under the decree, King Wei was ordered to quickly lead his troops to join them. An imperial edict was also quickly sent to Jiangbei Mansion, appointing King An and ordering him to return to the army quickly after receiving the order.
Zhu Guogong Zhu Rupei (wrongly written as Fang Guogong many times before, corrected here) actually requested an order to accompany him on the expedition, and Emperor Ming and Yuan granted permission.
Emperor Ming Yuan used Prince Huai for the first time in a war and appointed him as a money and grain officer to prepare military supplies and ensure an endless supply of military supplies to the border areas.
Although Yu Wenhao fulfilled his wish and was able to go to war, he could not lead the army or go with the army. There was a reward order. If he went to the army, it would bring disaster to the Northern Tang Army. At that time, all the masters in the army would kill him. Sgt.
In order to save his life, half of the feathers were already broken before reaching the border. Therefore, even if he wanted to go, he had no way to go.
