Chapter 140: The Battle of Two Old Men
"This lord, please speak!" Everyone has no way, and now someone has a way to solve this matter, Wei Zifu hurriedly asked.
"Niangniang, now the people in the states and counties are panicking, ending the war in the states as soon as possible is the primary task in front of us, Weichen thinks, since General Zhao can only mobilize 150,000 Royal Forest Army, and the rebellion in Yandi needs 130,000 soldiers and horses, why not transfer the 150,000 troops that General Zhao can mobilize to Yandi to suppress the mob, so that the rebellion in Yandi can be solved, and the dilemma of General Zhao's inability to mobilize the Royal Forest Army can be avoided. ”
"Queen Mother, this matter must not be done, the important task of the Royal Forest Army is to defend Gyeonggi, transfer the 130,000 army, and the defense of Gyeonggi will no longer exist, please think twice!" Before Wei Zifu could speak, Zhao Yun took the lead in standing up and objecting.
"Niangniang, Weichen also feels that this matter is inappropriate, each legion is responsible for its own defense, which is set by His Majesty, unless there is an emergency, the Royal Forest Army is not allowed to participate in local defense. Zhang Liang, the secretary of the military department, also stood up and objected.
"Queen Qiyu, Weichen thinks that Lord Lu's suggestion is feasible, first of all, the task of the Imperial Forest Army is to defend Gyeonggi, but now the capital is quiet and peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, it has initially reached the point where everyone does not close their doors at night, the task of the Royal Forest Army is not as heavy as it was at the beginning, leaving 20,000 soldiers and horses enough to defend Gyeonggi, Wechen believes that the local rebellion is the current heavy task, if the local riot is not dealt with in time, this momentum will spread to the neighboring states and counties, then things will be out of control!" Right Prime Minister Ding Yuan stood up and analyzed Wei Zifu.
Wei Zifu finally knew why Liu Fei was so tired every day, it was just a matter of mobilizing a little troops, but those who were for and against each had their own reasons, and each person's reason was to be able to stand on his feet, which made him very embarrassed, whether he agreed to the transfer of troops to suppress or not to agree to the transfer of troops to suppress it.
"Niangniang, the old minister thinks that it is better to transfer troops to Yandi!" Just when Wei Zifu was in a dilemma, Wei Zhongquan stood up and said.
"Old Prince, what are you ......?" Zhao Yun asked puzzledly, although the rebellion in Yandi was extremely urgent, but the security of Gyeonggi was also extremely important, if the Imperial Forest Army was transferred out of Gyeonggi and let others take advantage of it, wouldn't it be a big loss because of a small loss? Zhao Yun didn't understand why the old prince Wei Zhongquan would agree to send the Imperial Forest Army to Yandi, didn't he know that the security of Gyeonggi was more important than the local rebellion.
"General Zhao, you have followed Your Majesty for many years, don't you know that Your Majesty's love for the people is like a son? Your Majesty has always put the safety of the common people first, and you are secondary, if Your Majesty knows that it is because of you, you did not send troops to support Yandi, which led to the chaos and hardship of the people of Yandi, how do you say Your Majesty will punish you? Even if Your Majesty does not punish you, will you feel at ease when you see Your Majesty spending time in remorse every day? And didn't Ding Xiang say that the land of Gyeonggi is prosperous, and the people can stay open at night, what else do you have to worry about? Isn't there still more than 20,000 elites, which are enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies. Wei Zhongquan explained to Zhao Yun.
"This ?......!" Zhao Yun didn't know what to say, Wei Zhongquan was right, Liu Fei has always loved the people like a son, which is why the people love him.
"Since this is the case, then the palace issued an order to order General Zhao to lead 130,000 imperial forest troops to Yandi to quell the rebellion. Empress Wei Zifu saw that Wei Zhongquan persuaded Zhao Yun, and she also felt that this was the best arrangement at present.
"Wait, Niangniang, this battle can't be fought by General Zhao, General Zhao is a military general, and he is good at external warfare, but this battle is internal, it can be said that it is not a war, but a measure to calm the people. ”
"Lord Wang, then who do you say is the most suitable for this battle?" Wei Zifu thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate for Zhao Yun to fight, this was not a war to fight, it was necessary to send a person who knew military skills, this kind of move to appease the people should be dispatched by civilian officials, and there are indeed some inappropriate places in sending a military general.
"This is the matter of the Xiangye, I don't dare to speak casually!" Wei Zhongquan pushed the matter to the right minister Ding Yuan.
"The prince is too modest! The prince is my hero of Xin Han, no matter who the prince recommends, I will wait but the prince will send him!" Hearing Wei Zhongquan's insinuating tone, Ding Yuan not only did not get angry, but looked like he was flattering Wei Zhongquan.
"Really, then the king will not shirk, I think the most suitable is you, the prime minister, as the right minister, you are clear about the affairs of the court, military deployment, people's livelihood and public opinion, etc., and you must be suitable for this battle!" Wei Zhongquan climbed up directly along the rod given by Ding Yuan, and directly recommended him.
"The prince is joking! Xia Guan is old and sick, and he is no longer suitable for long-distance travel and battle, although Xia Guan wants to contribute to the court and share worries for His Majesty, but he has more than enough strength to do so, please forgive Wei Chen!" Ding Yuan saw that Wei Zhongquan recommended himself, and hurriedly refused, and kept cursing Wei Zhongquan in his heart, numb, Lao Tzu asked you to recommend you to climb up the pole, the key is that it is okay for you to recommend others, but you want to recommend Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is such a big bone, you want Lao Tzu to die outside.
"Xiangye, what are you talking about, you are the pillar of the court of the Xinhan Kingdom, how can you be old and sick, according to the old man, Xiangye has a good complexion, full of energy, and is actually the best candidate for the battlefield, and I hope that Xiangye will focus on national affairs, the safety of the people in the world, and the society and the country, and provoke the pillars of the war. ”
"Lord Wang, if you don't go to war for the elderly, you have been fighting in the north and south for many years, and it will definitely be no problem to deal with those chaotic people, Weichen asks for instructions, please ask for Niangniang's permission, let the old prince go out to fight against the rebels in Yandi!"
"Niangniang, Weichen thinks that Xiangye and Wang Ye are not suitable for going to Yandi, both of them are the pillars of the imperial court, and they are both relied on by His Majesty as the heart, no matter who has three long and two short, it will be a big loss for the court, so Weichen thinks that neither of them is suitable. A court official stood up and said to Wei Zifu, looking at the two old men, you fight with me, you come and go, everyone shook their heads.
"This lord is right, the two elders are the pillars of the imperial court, and whoever loses the slightest loss of the palace can't explain to His Majesty, so the two elders don't have to fight, it's better to re-select others to go!"
