Two young eunuchs appeared from behind the screen, moved two chairs, placed one behind Yan Bing and the old man, and then retreated.
The old man sat down without even raising his eyes. Only Yan Bing, who was slightly embarrassed, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat." Then he slowly sat down.
When he sat down, he also glanced at Li Lingyue next to him.
Li Lingyue was obviously a little cautious at the moment, her eyes were wide open, she was looking around, and her two hands started to dig at each other again.
"I just issued the edict. I didn't expect that Prince Kang and the Duke of Fu would arrive today. I am really happy and surprised." Emperor Xuansi said slowly while looking at Yan Bing and the old man under the imperial platform, his face
Shang Ye indeed showed a look of joy, because he himself did not expect that the other party would give him such face.
But he's a little too fond of himself...
Yan Bing came here in such a hurry simply because he wanted to relieve the country's worries. It had nothing to do with whether he was in a hurry or not.
But the process had to be carried out, and Yan Bing stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "When I heard that the border defense was in emergency, I was immediately heartbroken, and then I hurried over to refer to Liang Guo and share your worries for Your Majesty... But, I
I have just arrived and I don’t know the details of the urgent matter here. Please name someone to explain it clearly to us so that we can think about it and give you some advice."
"This is easy to handle. He Yougui, Minister of the Ministry of War, please talk to Prince Kang and Fu Guohou again..." Emperor Xuansi named the officials. After speaking, he sighed again, seemingly worried about this trouble.
Heartbroken.
I saw a person walking out of the leader of the military attache queue. He was extremely thin, with two brows and a goatee. Just looking at his face, he gave people a sense of scheming.
After He Shangshu came out of the queue, he first bowed to Emperor Xuansi, and then bowed to the old man and Yan Bing. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Marquis Fuguo suddenly stand up and quickly shut up.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes the power of this "chaotic evil star" who was beautiful in appearance but ruthless in heart. How could he dare to provoke him so easily?
Why did Li Bing suddenly stand up?
Because she really couldn't stand it anymore...
Li Lingyue next to her couldn't get enough of picking her fingers, and now she has started picking her nails...
Yan Bing sighed, and immediately pushed Li Lingyue to his chair, and pressed her down to sit down, so that she could relax while she stood.
Li Lingyue immediately looked at Yan Bing with an almost "grateful" look, and then sat on the chair, lowering her head and saying nothing.
From the "bumps" along the way to the embarrassment now, I only feel that I extremely regret my decision to come to the palace to watch the excitement.
Emperor Xuan Si also immediately understood what Yan Bing meant, and then waved his hand, and a young eunuch went behind the screen, moved a chair over, and placed it behind Yan Bing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Bing bowed his hands and sat down slowly.
He Yougui, Minister of the Ministry of War, then began to speak eloquently.
Since the Beizhen tribe established a political power in the north five years ago, they have repeatedly blocked our border defenses in these years. Every time they came and captured a city, they allowed the soldiers to burn, kill and loot as they wanted. After burning the city to the ground, they took the captives with them.
The loot and border residents returned to Shengjing in the northeast.
However, four days ago, the border guard came to report that this time the Beizhen tribe attacked Liaodong, the northernmost important town of Liang Kingdom. After capturing the city, they did not set fire to the city, but directly occupied it and could not leave! Therefore, these days
, His Majesty went to court repeatedly to discuss this matter with us and other courtiers, thinking about how to deal with it.
"How can we deal with this!? Fight!!!" The person who spoke was Xu Hui with a bad temper. Seeing that he was not satisfied with the teasing, he walked out of the queue and said to Emperor Xuan Si: "Your Majesty! Please!
Your Majesty and I will have 30,000 troops and horses! If I cannot take back Liaodong within half a year, I am willing to raise my head to see you!!"
"Reckless man! Why don't you shut up!?" He Yougui scolded eagerly, flicking his sleeves to signal him to retreat.
But it’s still too late….
I saw an official wearing a scarlet robe walking out from the front of the queue of generals. This man had fine features, fair skin, and a straight young face. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, but he was wearing a third-grade golden pheasant official robe.
"Your Majesty, you cannot send out troops! At least, you cannot send out troops at this moment!" After the man bowed his hands and saluted, he continued to say loudly: "It is bitterly cold in Beiguan, and it is already late autumn! This kind of solar terms is even for those who have been born in extremely cold places since childhood.
The Beizhen tribe will also lose all its troops and retreat! We will attack at this time. The enemy is inside the city and I am outside the city. If the day is long and the army is exhausted, attacking the idle army will be like sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.
His Majesty!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the civil servants immediately responded.
"What Mr. Li said makes sense!"
"Although I am not familiar with the art of war, I still know these simple principles. I second my opinion!"
"Shilang Li is truly a pillar of the country!"
Yan Lingbing watched, smiling secretly in his heart, so that's how it is...
Although Yan Bing did not attend the morning court, he still knew the names of some important officials.
For example, she knew He Yougui, and she had also heard of Li Yuanqi, the Minister of War who just spoke.
As for the Prime Minister Li Yuanzhao, the Minister of Hubu Wu Guangxiao, the Minister of Hubu Chen Kaizhen, the Minister of Rites Zheng Zifeng, the Minister of Works Zhao Wuxu, the Minister of Officials Sima Wei, and the Minister of Officials Zhai Qixiao, she still knows the names of these senior officials.
But going a step further, such as who has what relationship with whom, and who has what party affiliation with whom, she has no way of knowing.
Therefore, when he first saw these lists, Yan Bing felt that the names of Li Yuanzhao and Li Yuanqi were so similar that he guessed that these two were brothers.
Now I saw a group of civil servants jumping out to flatter the Minister of War when he spoke, which directly confirmed Yan Bing's guess.
Yan Bing has also been silently observing the expressions of Prime Minister Li Yuanzhao.
From beginning to end, this man... had no expression at all!
No matter what others said, even if his own brother came to speak, this Li Yuanzhao did not even move an eyebrow...
This person... is difficult to deal with... No wonder he is a prime minister!
"Marquis Fu Guo, I would like to ask, what do you think of this matter?"
While Yan Bing was observing and thinking, Emperor Xuan Si suddenly asked.
Li Bing had already expected that His Majesty would ask this question, so he slowly stood up, raised his hands and said, "Back to Your Majesty! I also agree with Li Shilang's view! It is not a good opportunity to send troops now!"
The tone is sonorous and powerful, without any falsehood.
But, does Yan Bing really think so?
No..., after He Yougui stated what happened, and when the courtiers were arguing with each other, she had already come to a conclusion.
Fight! And fight now! It’s the right time!!
The most basic thing about being a soldier is to never let the enemy guess your true intentions!
At this time, it is already late autumn, and by the time you lead the troops to the north, it will be early winter! This is when the enemy is most slack! If you don’t fight now, why don’t you wait until spring, when the enemy is fully prepared, waiting for you to fight!
?
Therefore, the first step she has to take now is to deceive the enemy... and to deceive her own people as well, deceive the enemy!
As for where the soldiers and horses come from... As a auxiliary prince, she enjoys the right to mobilize soldiers and horses in the fiefdom!
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses!?
hehe!
By the time your 50,000-strong army comes out of seclusion, the enemy will already know about it! Why don't you slap me!
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he deceived the enemy into fatigue and wanted to recapture Liaodong City!
Two thousand people, no more, no less! Just right...!
Just to make this victory easier, she needs to go back and arrest someone in prison first...
Thinking of this, Yan Bing bent over and hid his face under his sleeves, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face.
