"This matter has been discussed a lot before. What I have said is very clear. This war between North Korea and North Korea must be fought even if it is fought. Even if it is not fought, it must be fought."
Li Chen's eyes were extremely serious, he looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "Chief Assistant, what do you think?"
Zhao Xuanji said expressionlessly: "The veteran is still opposed."
"Okay, feel free to object."
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "General Su!"
Su Zhenting clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I'm here!"
"I order the Governor-General of the Five Armies to fully coordinate the dispatch of troops to North Korea, formulate detailed combat strategies, policies, and troop dispatch, and then directly submit it to the East Palace for approval by this palace without going through the cabinet."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi in the cabinet hesitated to speak.
Zhao Xuanji shook his head slightly, stopping the two of them from speaking.
Su Zhenting's spirit was shaken and he said loudly: "My lord, I obey!"
"But there is one thing. Who can lead the battle in this battle? Which troops and horses will be dispatched?"
Li Chen glanced at the group of generals standing behind Su Zhenting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but each of them looked away, obviously unwilling to accept this job.
Nowadays, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty is declining, and the morale of the soldiers is at its lowest. After all, natural disasters are spreading across the country, and soldiers are recruited from ordinary people's homes. They resent the government's inability to provide disaster relief, which has led to the death of their families, and military pay is often delayed. Under such circumstances
, which soldier is willing to fight?
What's more, this is to go to a foreign country and bleed for others. Without even thinking about it, you know that this battle will be very difficult to fight.
In addition, the cabinet has made it clear that it does not agree to send troops. When the time comes for the power struggle between the East Palace and the cabinet, logistics, food and grass, etc., the cabinet will have many opportunities to cause trouble. Once the war goes unfavorably, the Prince of the East Palace will lose face and dignity, and he will take advantage of him if he is not sure.
The general leading the army vented his anger.
After thinking about it, all the generals realized one thing: they couldn't accept this errand.
Su Zhenting is willing to go, but Su Zhenting holds an important position and is the key figure in Li Chen's military power. In any case, he cannot move.
Li Chen gritted his teeth slightly.
All in all, the problem remains, there are too few people at his disposal.
"The deputy commander of the Yulin Guards, Huaiyuan General Su Pingbei, will serve as the commander-in-chief."
After Li Chen finished speaking, Zhao Xuanji breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He spoke before everyone else: "Your Highness is wise!"
The other officials looked at each other.
Everyone knows that whether it is the position of Xishan Administrative Chief or the general who sent troops to Korea this time, it is a sinkhole that can easily lead to losing one's head.
But Li Chen pushed these two things out, but he didn't push Zhao Xuanji's people into this big hole. Instead, he let the people around him do it.
That's it, Zhao Heshan, no one knows how His Highness the Crown Prince got together with Zhao Heshan.
But that Su Pingbei was Su Zhenting's only son, a third-generation descendant of the military god sect. There was no way the prince would use Su Pingbei as cannon fodder and kick him into a pit of fire.
But the prince still did it.
But Su Zhenting, who should have been the most opposed, was the first to stand up and support.
"My lord, I will obey the prince's order."
Even the sufferer himself has no opinion, and others will have nothing to say.
"My ministers, please obey the prince's orders."
After a series of responses, Li Chen's eyes stayed for a moment on Duan Jinjiang, who had a very low sense of presence.
Duan Jinjiang received Li Chen's signal and his skin tightened.
But thinking that the current situation no longer allowed for any further consideration, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say: "Your Highness, I have something to report."
