Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 40 It's a last resort 【For collection, for further reading】

When the emperor asked a question, Huang Jingming, the king of Taihe, who was the head of the military officers, naturally spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Jin State's move was clearly because His Majesty had just ascended the throne and thought that the political affairs of the Chu Dynasty were unstable, so he took action and attempted to take advantage of the situation." When Huang Jingming said this, he frowned slightly and said, " As for the Jin general Lu Linyuan, whether he is a veteran or the late Sun Taiwei, he has fought against him in his early years. He is indeed a powerful enemy of our great Chu and must not be underestimated."

The late Taiwei Sun mentioned by Huang Jingming refers to the Taiwei Sun Shizhong who has passed away for nearly five years.

This old Taiwei Sun was famous for his bravery in his early years. When Zhongzong was in power, he sent troops to conquer Burma with the prince Dezong as commander. The war situation was unfavorable for a time. He sacrificed his life to rescue Dezong who was trapped in a tight siege. He was killed three times. More than ten creations saved Dezong in critical times.

Later, Emperor Dezong ascended the throne, grateful for his life-saving grace, and named him Taiwei.

At that time, he and Huang Jingming were both famous generals in the world, but in terms of influence in the army, Huang Jingming at that time was far from being able to compare with him.

When Dezong was critically ill, Sun Shizhong, like Huang Jingming, was also entrusted by Dezong to serve as the auxiliary minister, but he died less than half a year after Emperor Daxing ascended the throne.

It is precisely because of the old Taiwei Sun who drove westward that Huang Jingming was given a chance, so that the current situation is so difficult to deal with.

"Hmph, Beiman has a good plan!"

After hearing Huang Jingming's report, Zhao Yu felt sullen, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, and said with a sneer:
"Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation! I have the Taihe King and all the ministers to assist me in the Great Chu Dynasty, so why was there any confusion!"

Your Majesty, the officials of the Queen Mother's Party couldn't help but slander in their hearts when they heard the words.

Is that old man really helping you?
A puppet emperor, he puts on himself a golden face!
At this time, Zhao Yu's voice sounded again.

"Wang Taihe is a senior general in the army. I don't know who should be the general to defeat Lu Linyuan when he sends troops to defend against the enemy this time?"

Huang Jingming bowed again.

"Your Majesty, for Lu Linyuan, our kings and ministers of the Great Chu must not underestimate the enemy. Not to mention defeating him, it is a victory to stop him north of the Canglong. As for the generals of my dynasty, I forgive the old ministers for viewing it. Besides, there is no one else who is Lu Linyuan's opponent."

"Why does King Taihe need to destroy his own prestige and boost the popularity of others? Is it possible that there are thousands of generals in my court, but no one can rival that Lu Linyuan?"

A spokesperson heard the words and couldn't help jumping out to refute.

"Old man, may I ask, in your eyes, who can be a general?"

Not only was Huang Jingming not annoyed by the other party's rebuke, but he turned around and asked with a smile.

"I thought, thought, thought..."

The famous speaker opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say a name.

"Hmph, you were still nestling in the nurse's arms while I was fighting north and south!"

Huang Jingming snorted coldly, looked at Zhao Yu who was sitting on the throne, and bowed again with the wat.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the veteran is boasting. However, looking at our dynasty, the only one who can defeat Lu Linyuan is the veteran. Please also issue an edict to take the veteran as the commander and lead the generals to go north to resist the northern barbarians and resist the enemy on the Canglong River. .”

"Taihe Wang is the pillar of the great Chu, and it must not be moved lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

Zhao Yu shook his head.

Huang Jingming's calculations were very precise. As long as he could block the Jin army at the front line of the Canglong River and prevent any boat from crossing the river, it would be a great achievement.

With this battle, Huang Jingming's already extremely high reputation can even be raised to a higher level.

At that time, the ruling and opposition parties will even know that there is King Taihe, but not His Majesty.

And this is what Zhao Yu absolutely does not want to see.

At the same time, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Yu's mind.

Huang Jingming is known as a famous general in the world, but what is his ability to command the army?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu subconsciously opened the system interface.

Sure enough, he could spend 100 imperial power points to explore the character's attribute information.

After glancing at the small amount of imperial prestige, Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and chose to confirm.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

However, the attributes of Huang Jingming's character detected by the system made Zhao Yu speechless.

Strength 93, Domination 94, Military Strategy 91, Political Strategy 77, Wisdom 84, Charm 75, Morality 58, Ambition 85, Loyalty 61, Intimacy 400, Influence 1830.

Good guy, this old fox is hiding deep enough!
Who would have thought that this inconspicuous person turned out to be a ninth-rank master.

However, no matter whether it is the imperial court or the rivers and lakes of Chu State, there is not a ninth-rank grandmaster on the surface!
In addition to the force of 90, the two items of command and military strategy have both reached 90, and the wisdom is not low!

No wonder the Empress Dowager Xuande had the trump card of the Dark Yiwei in her hand, but she couldn't do anything about it.

If a dignified ninth-rank master could be assassinated by a group of assassins with less than eighth-rank strength, it would be too cheap!

Comparing this old fox's command and military strategy, according to what he said just now, the command and military strategy of Jin State General Lu Linyuan are at least above 95.

Such a character, even if compared with countless heroes in the history of China, is not inferior to those first echelon bosses.

No wonder Huang Jingming's words were full of fear when he mentioned the other party.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhao Yu looked at Huang Jingming, pondered for a while, and then said:

"Prince Taihe, let me ask you again, could it be that Lu Linyuan, besides you, is there really no one in my Great Chu?"

"Your Majesty was joking. Against him, the old minister's ability to remain undefeated is already the limit. If he wants to win the battle, it is only possible if the time, place and people are in place. The favorable location can make it difficult for the state of Jin to go south. However, due to the loss of the most important horse breeding area in our dynasty, the number of military horses has been greatly reduced over the years. Less than half, so unable to go north to fight for the front."

Huang Jingming burst into tears at the end of his speech.

The loss of the three mansions in Jiangbei during Mingzong's reign was an eternal pain for the kings and ministers of Chu.

On the one hand, as Huang Jingming said, Chu State lost the most important horse breeding area, and on the other hand, it lost the three bridgeheads going north.

It is precisely for this reason that the people of Chu State hate the most, not the Jin State, but the Qi State.

And the people of the three prefectures in Jiangbei are eager to return to the embrace of Chu State from time to time.

These heroes and patriots who returned to Chu from the three prefectures in Jiangbei were also called "Northern Returners".

"The loss of the three prefectures in Jiangbei to the enemy is a disgrace to our great Chu monarchs and ministers. In my lifetime, I will send troops to take back the three prefectures, wash away the shame, and tell it to the ancestors!"

Mentioning the three mansions in Jiangbei, Zhao Yu was also a little excited and made an oath in front of all the ministers.

"Today, I swear in front of all the ministers that if I can't bring back the three palaces, I will never be a successor in this life!"

"Your Majesty can't!"

Hearing what Zhao Yu said, the faces of the officials changed drastically, and they all spoke.

"I have made up my mind, please don't talk too much!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and looked at Huang Jingming.

"Prince Taihe, I will entrust you with the full authority to defend against the Jin invaders. I hope that King Taihe will live up to my expectations and return triumphantly. When the time comes, I will go out to meet you with all the officials!"

Appointing Huang Jingming as the commander-in-chief, for Zhao Yu, is a balance between two disadvantages and choosing the lesser.

Zhao Yu would rather appoint Huang Jingming as the commander-in-chief than choosing someone else, which would lead to the loss of teachers and land.

Because the other party is almost the only choice for him.

Huang Jingming glanced at Zhao Yu with complicated eyes, before he bent down to worship.

"Old minister, lead the order!"
