The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 83
Fang Luan made a generous gesture, and said: "Your Majesty and the Second Prince valued me so much, I should have been shrouded in the battlefield, and I would die. But the soldiers did not move, and the food and grass went first. I heard that Lu Yuan has been a There is a shortage of food. Elder Liu Ge, do you know if the household department's grain and the military department's military supplies can be supplied?"

Fang Luan's last sentence was with the cabinet.As soon as this sentence came out, it easily drew attention to the cabinet.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Qingyuan, was no stranger to these tactics, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The Marquis of Weiyuan is very worried, and there is no need to worry about Luyuan's food and grass. Since Xu Ling went to Luyuan, Luyuan has already returned to peace. After the Marquis of Weiyuan is gone, we can check the armaments, if there is not enough, the cabinet will issue an emergency dispatch to Hezhong, and we will try our best to drive Beidi out of Dayan."

Shen Changde, Minister of the Ministry of War, has always had a close relationship with Liu Qingyuan. Hearing what Liu Qingyuan said, he went on to say: "Marquis of Weiyuan, but don't worry, the Ministry of War just bought two hundred firecrackers from the red-haired ghost. This time, I will bring them to the front line. Invincible.”

"If the two adults say so, I will have nothing to worry about," Fang Luan said, "I am willing to lead an army of 20 to fight Beidi to the death. If Beidi is not destroyed, I will not return the court!"

As soon as Fang Luan finished speaking, Lu Zhiyuan, Minister of the Household Department, said: "I think that although Marquis Weiyuan is brave, his love for the country is really admirable. However, the governor's office of the five armies still needs Marquis Weiyuan to plan strategies. If he goes After leaving Luyuan, if there is an emergency military situation, how should we deploy it?"

Wei Yuanhou was waiting for this sentence, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Both the emperor and the second prince cared about him, so naturally they couldn't say no.But based on his understanding of the court, it is natural that some people are unwilling to let him regain military power.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Then according to Lu Shangshu's intention, who should we send?"

Marquis Chang'an took the initiative to stand up and said: "In the past decades in southern Xinjiang, I have fought numerous battles with Xibo. , the minister is willing to share the worries for the king!"

The emperor was overjoyed at first, Chen Jinghui had long been known as a good fighter, and it was even more suitable for him to lead the army to resist the enemy than Marquis Weiyuan.

However, he then thought that Yang Xingyao had just asked Chen Yuqi to marry Chen Yuqi at the Wanshou Banquet in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Marquis of Chang'an would lead the troops to fight, then there would be even bigger problems.

If Chen Jinghui colluded with the Dian Palace, one of the two families was in the southwest and the other was in the northwest, if he had the heart of disobedience, Dayan would really fall into a doomed situation.

The emperor was full of thoughts, when all the generals saw Chen Jinghui's initiative to ask for a fight, they all agreed.

The emperor sighed, and said: "Of course I know what the Marquis of Chang'an wants, but my Shenshu Camp is still here with you, and I don't want the backyard to catch fire."

Chang'an Hou Moran, Lu Zhiyuan said again: "The sages have said that soldiers use ominous weapons as a last resort. Watching Changdi and me fight for a hundred years, they are all greedy for petty gains. Now I have lost the upper hand. Peace talks Something is imminent."

Qian Minzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, immediately echoed and said: "What Lu Shangshu said is not bad, as long as Luyuan is guarded, even if Beidi tasted some sweetness in the battle of Jinlanguan, it is not without chance. Peace talks are the long-term solution."

The military generals were all dismissive of the peace talks. In their view, Chang Di had already reached the gate of his house. If he didn't fight back, he would be a coward.

Immediately, a general stood up and accused Lu Zhiyuan of being cowardly and afraid of fighting.

Since Yingzong, the status of military generals in the court has been greatly lowered, and Lu Zhiyuan is a cabinet minister. He dared to criticize the cabinet face to face. fierce debate.

The civil and military officials couldn't agree on what to do, and the emperor was a little annoyed when he heard it. Seeing that Yang Zhicheng, the king of Dian, was silent, he asked, "King Dian, what do you think about this battle?"

Dian King Yang Zhicheng saluted respectfully and said, "The Dian King's Mansion has been guarding southern Xinjiang for many years, and has never dealt with Beidi, so it shouldn't be talking about this battle. However, I think that Beidi is a greedy person, and the new king will take the throne." Later, for the sake of prestige, I will naturally try to take advantage of our dynasty. Now that Beidi has won Jinlan Pass, whether it is to swing a horse to pass, or to enter Gyeonggi eastward, it is all easy, and I will not give up lightly. My Dayan and Beidi This war is inevitable, and peace talks are absolutely unacceptable."

With a smile on his face, Qian Minzhong bowed to Yang Zhicheng and asked, "The king of Dian said so, is it because he has a well-thought-out plan and thinks that I will definitely beat Beidi?"

Yang Zhicheng shook his head, and said: "There is no general who is sure to win in the world. He fights after the battle. The art of war and the skill of using it are all in one mind. The number of victories and losses is all based on adapting to the situation."

The emperor agreed with Yang Zhicheng's words, but he was concerned about his sensitive status, so it was really difficult to express his opinion, so he looked in the middle of the group of officials with dim eyes.

Taifu Ye Quan understood the emperor's meaning, and came out and said: "I think the king of Dian is polite. Now that Beidi is in full swing, he will definitely not negotiate peace with us. Even if there is peace talk, it is not at this moment."

Ye Quan is over [-] years old, his eyebrows are completely white, and although his face is old, his voice is still like a bell. He continued: "The next battle is very crucial. If our army flag wins, we will naturally have a bargaining chip for peace talks; If the army is defeated like a mountain, then Chang Di will definitely not negotiate peace with us."

Qian Minzhong said: "Teacher Ye, Changdi now occupies the main throat, our army is very passive and can only meet the enemy head-on, Changdi's cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and our army is weak, how can we win?"

The military generals couldn't hear what the courtiers said, so they immediately spoke ironically. Chang Shuo, the general of Zhenguo, said: "Since I joined the army, I have never seen how powerful Changdi's cavalry is. Few. The battle between the two countries is in full swing, and the rations and armaments in the rear are insufficient, so how can the soldiers in the front fight with peace of mind?"

The civil and military officials fought again, and Prince Upu Muhacha had been standing in the last position, listening to the quarrel of several people, with a mocking smile on his face.

He walked out of the queue slowly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Muhacha said respectfully: "Dayan has always treated our troops very kindly. Now that the military situation is urgent, please allow me to return to Wupu immediately to reorganize the army. Whether it is war or peace, I will always let Chang Di see it. My Dayan momentum."

The emperor was overjoyed and agreed immediately.Muhacha got the dispensation, and immediately took his son out of the palace in a hurry.

The palace gate rang, and two burly figures faced the sun and strode towards the horse not far away.

"Son, you have also met the civil and military officials of the Dayan Dynasty, what do you think?"

A young voice said: "My son feels that it is hard to be worthy of a great reputation. I thought that Dayan has a vast land and resources, and there are always some capable people. I didn't expect that the court is full of sycophants. I am really disappointed."

"Haha, son, you are right. Civil officials shirk their responsibilities, and military officials are useless. If this continues, Dayan will perish sooner or later. The world is so big that those who can live in it. Since the number of Dayan's energy is exhausted, I will leave it to you." Father and son take their place."
