Chapter 713
Flowing Cloud City, Tianlue Hall.

After reading the information sent back from the front, Bai Yunting's face showed a serious look, and then he looked at the ministers and said, "My dear friends, Tianhua really took the lead in declaring war on us. Its 30 troops poured into Jinzhou. The square front launched a fierce attack. In addition, Emperor Tianhua personally led 20 cavalry to go south to Weizhou to contain Cao's troops. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, our army has 50 soldiers in Jinzhou, why should we be afraid?" A minister said with a smile, "Perhaps our army can annihilate Tianhua's 30 soldiers in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to take down Zhongqing in one fell swoop. "

Bai Yunting smiled coldly, "If it's really that easy, why has my Tianyun been suppressed by Tianhua for so many years? Tianhua's 30 soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers, well-trained, and the sharpest equipment is the best in the world. Although our army has 50 soldiers, except for the 30 Tianyun Army, the rest are garrison troops with low combat power. They may be able to defend, but they cannot fight in the field. Therefore, when Tianhua comes to attack, our army can only hold on and wait. Just aid."

"Here, Your Majesty, all the available soldiers in the country have been deployed, where are the soldiers and horses going to support them?" The minister frowned and asked in confusion.

Just as the minister said, Tianyun spent a lot of money for this Eastern Expedition, and nearly half of the country's troops gathered in Jinlei and Jinlei prefectures.In addition, the 20 troops in Fengzhou are guarding the direction of Shazhou, and the 20 troops stationed in the Xuelong Mountains in the west, the defense is eternal.In addition, there are [-] deployed in the south. Tianyun can be said to be the power of the whole country, guarding against the Quartet, just to win the victory of the Eastern Expedition.

Tianyun's population is already around tens of millions, but now that it has recruited millions of troops, the food and supplies it needs are like a bottomless pit. The daily consumption is a huge number, and people's livelihood has also been greatly affected.The domestic military resources have also been diverted to a large number, and there is no way to send reinforcements to the Central Plains.

Bai Yunting pointed to the Imperial Forest Army guards around the palace, and said with a smile, "Aren't these reinforcements?"

What, let the imperial forest army go to the east, how can this be done?
The ministers were shocked and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army exists to defend His Majesty. If they are also dispatched to the Central Plains, who should be stationed in the palace?"

Bai Yunting laughed, "What's the difficulty? As long as I conquer the Central Plains myself, the Imperial Forest Army will naturally accompany me. In this way, the morale of the frontline will definitely be boosted. At the same time, it will also increase the number of elites by [-]. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

When the ministers heard the words, they became even more noisy, and they all cried out to remonstrate.

Seeing this, Bai Yunting's face couldn't help but darken, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to persuade me any more, don't you know that Emperor Tianhua personally led the army to fight in the south and in the north. He can do this, I, as Emperor Tianyun , is he not as good as him? This war is about the fate of the country, and I have no shirkable responsibility."

"Prime Minister, don't you want to persuade Your Majesty?" At this time, the minister standing next to Hu Chengjing asked anxiously.

Since the beginning, Hu Chengjing has stood aside with the old god, without saying a word.Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, all the ministers couldn't help but focus on him.As Prime Minister Tianyun, His Majesty's most trusted minister, His Majesty will definitely listen to his words.

Unexpectedly, under the gaze of everyone, Hu Chengjing stood up and said: "The old minister fully supports His Majesty's personal conquest."

Everyone is stupid, how can they agree to such a thing?The king is the foundation of the country, and he should sit at the center of the country and dispatch operations. How can he take risks and go in and out of the battlefield? It is really ridiculous.

After receiving a nod from Bai Yunting, Hu Chengjing turned to look at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the battle in the Central Plains is a matter of Tianyun's survival, and we must take it seriously. Only when His Majesty comes in person can we judge the situation and judge the interests in a timely manner. Otherwise, reporting back and forth will only delay the timing and misjudge the situation. As for the security issue, you can rest assured that compared with the domestic army, there are 60 to [-] troops by your side, and His Majesty's safety is more secure. Your Majesty and I have already After discussion, His Majesty intends to follow Tianhua's example. When His Majesty goes on a personal expedition, the country will temporarily form a wartime cabinet, with this official as the Prime Minister, responsible for domestic civil affairs, dispatching and collecting military supplies to supply the army."

What, this is the first time His Majesty has delegated power, entrusting the full power of domestic government affairs to the Prime Minister?It seems that because of the war in the Central Plains, His Majesty has no time to take care of domestic government affairs.Now he is ready to take full control of the military power and fight Tianhua decisively.

"My dear friends!" Bai Yunting suddenly got up, cupped his hands and bowed to everyone, "I'm going abroad, and I'll leave domestic matters to all of you."

"The ministers dare not, the ministers will do their best to serve the dead." All the ministers were shocked, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, worshiping sincerely and fearfully.

After the imperial court was over, Bai Yunting left Hu Cheng Jingdao in the imperial study for a detailed discussion.

At this time, Hu Chengjing changed his calm expression before, and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty, is the situation in the Central Plains really serious?"

Bai Yunting sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, how could I propose a personal conquest. Now that China has quelled the chaos in the Western Regions, the next focus will be on the Central Plains. If I don't go there in person, I really don't feel at ease. "

"Your Majesty, the old minister has always been worried that if you go to the Central Plains, Eternity behind will take advantage of the fire." Hu Chengjing frowned and said, "With you in charge and a hundred thousand Royal Forest Army in the middle, Eternity must not dare to take risks easily. But Once you leave, maybe eternity will go east again."

"I also understand this matter." Bai Yunting nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I have been waiting for Eternity to attack, but after waiting for a year, the other party has never moved. I also understand that I am waiting for Eternity. He. Therefore, I decided to lead the army to go out and give him a chance. As long as Eternity strikes, the sharp sword hanging over our heads will be gone."

"Oh, Your Majesty has already made a plan?" Hu Chengjing was not surprised but delighted when he heard this.

"That's right, I've already made arrangements." Bai Yunting smiled slightly, "I have deployed 20 soldiers and horses in Xuelong Mountain, which is enough to withstand eternity for a period of time. And the garrisons in Fengzhou and the south each have a part of their strength that can be recruited back at any time. At that time, the Xuelong Mountain garrison will pretend to be defeated and retreat, leading the Eternal Army into a trap, and finally gather superior forces to wipe out the Eternal Army and completely solve the future troubles."

When Hu Chengjing heard this, he couldn't help hesitating, "Will it be risky if we deploy soldiers from Fengzhou and the south? The Tianhua Army at Quyang Pass is very likely to send troops to Fengzhou to attack our flank. There is also Yunzhao Kingdom in the south, Will you take the opportunity to invade my southern state?"

"Hmph, both of them are diseases of the heart, so they shouldn't be a problem." Bai Yunting smiled lightly, "As long as we eliminate the Eternal Army, we will be able to free up 20 soldiers and horses. At that time, the two sides will definitely retreat. And our army Then we can go east to the Central Plains and gather an army of 80 million, which is enough to repel Tianhua and completely take Jinwei and Weizhou."

"It's still a little risky." Hu Chengjing still shook his head worriedly, "However, since His Majesty has made a claim, the veteran can only go all out to stabilize the domestic situation for His Majesty. From time to time, His Majesty and the army have worries about the future."

"Okay, Hu Aiqing, what I'm waiting for is your words." Bai Yunting said with emotion, "If you and I are united, we will be able to unify the Central Plains."
