Chapter 3387 Feng Lingtian takes the lead in attacking Chu State
When Yun Qing heard what the messenger said, he also looked worried, "Member, who started this war and who took the lead?"
The messenger soldier trembled and said, "It was Feng Lingtian, the prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, who took the lead. Feng Lingtian was entangled with Dongfang Wuxiang, the prince of Donglin Kingdom, and Baili You, the fifth prince of Xiliang Kingdom, and then united with the surrounding people.
Two small countries.
They said...said..."
"say what?"
Emperor Hongyuan asked nervously.
The messenger soldiers looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said tremblingly, "They say that our Chu State is now vulnerable, and they will send their troops south to destroy Chu State in one fell swoop and then divide it up."
"What?
It is simply unreasonable, this Feng Lingtian, he actually wants to carve up the Chu Kingdom?
Come, call all the ministers to the palace, I want to discuss with them how to defend against the enemy!"
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Xu immediately withdrew and summoned the ministers to go to the palace.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan asked doubtfully, "Messenger, you said that the fifth prince Baili You of Xiliang was also involved in the matter of the coalition?"
The messenger cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is absolutely true."
"Damn it! This Baili You, I thought he was pitiful, so I kindly let him go back to the country, but I didn't expect that he would follow Fengling to attack the Chu Kingdom. He is really an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
Yun Qing said coldly: "Your Majesty, maybe Baili You secretly visited Chen Cang while he was in Chu State and did a lot of things there."
"Back then, he was just an unfavored proton. I entertained him with delicious food and drinks, and finally let him go back to China. I didn't expect that he would dare to rebel against me. I will definitely not let him go."
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
Yun Qing raised his eyelids lightly.
Didn't Emperor Hongyuan accept Baili You's many benefits before letting him go?
It was Emperor Hongyuan who was greedy for money and sent this white-eyed wolf back early. Otherwise, how would Baili You have the chance to follow Feng Lingtian to attack Chu State now?
Therefore, this incident was caused by Emperor Hongyuan himself and had nothing to do with anyone else.
At this time, he said: "Your Majesty, who are you going to send as the chief general and who as the deputy general in this war?"
Emperor Hongyuan thought for a while and said: "Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping are rich in combat experience. They also have the Xuance Army under their command. I will choose a powerful general among them to be the commander-in-chief, and the others to be deputy generals."
When Yun Qing heard this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping are both Chu Xuanchen's people. You are not afraid that they will take these 50,000 Xuance troops to defect to Chu Xuanchen."
Chen?
Don’t forget that in order to help Chu Xuanchen last time, they secretly led troops to Xueyue Kingdom. Such people clearly have disobedient intentions, and you cannot hand over military power to them."
Hearing Yun Qing's words, Emperor Hongyuan's expression immediately became solemn, and he said: "You are right, these people are from King Li's party, and I cannot hand over military power to them.
But apart from them, I can’t find anyone better.”
Yun Qing said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, these people just followed Chu Xuanchen in the past. They seem to be famous, but in fact they have no real material at all.
Your Majesty, I would like to recommend some people to you, such as Right General Li Linwei, Wei General Liu Chang, etc. They have rich combat experience, have fought many victorious battles, and have real commanding skills. Why don't Your Majesty ask them to defend the enemy?"
Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes. He knew that those recommended by Yunqing were all Yunqing's own people, and he also knew the true level of these people.
The real level of these people is not as good as Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping, but Yun Qing is right. If he hands over military power to Dong Changfeng and others, there is no guarantee that they will not lead troops to rebel.
After all, this Dong Changfeng dared to privately lead troops to help Chu Xuanchen last time.
How can he trust such a person?
Although the generals Li Linwei and Liu Chang were a little less qualified, they were loyal to him first-class, and he was relieved to hand over military power to them.
Thinking of this, he said: "Ai Qing is right, of course I must hand over this military power to someone trustworthy.
In this case, I will appoint Li Linwei as the chief general and Liu Chang as the deputy general, and let them lead the troops to defend the enemy."
There was a hint of secret joy in Yun Qing's eyes, it was great, the emperor wanted to reuse his people.
This time, his power will be more consolidated, and he can also make a lot of money from it.
As for people like Chu Xuanchen, just step aside!
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
In this way, after the ministers gathered, Emperor Hongyuan ignored the request of Dong Changfeng and others to go to war, and directly handed over the military power to Li Linwei, asking him to lead the troops to defend the enemy.
Dong Changfeng, Chen Ping, and the loyal general Lin Yue originally volunteered to defend themselves against the enemy.
But Emperor Hongyuan was worried about them and rejected their proposal.
Moreover, he not only rejected the proposals of several generals, but also refused to let them go to the battlefield.
He only sent his confidants and people from Yunqing to the battlefield. This approach made Dong Changfeng and several generals very angry.
They didn't expect that because they wanted to protect their country, they couldn't get the emperor's trust.
They could only watch helplessly as Feng Lingtian surrounded Chu State, but they were unable to do anything.
