Chapter 377

That would be suicide.

The public mind of the town had understood that it was impossible to persuade, so he didn't say more at this time.

Xia Tingzhen echoed: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and the minister also believes that this war is inevitable."

Listening to this sentence, the Duke of the town sneered at the bottom of his heart.

Such a monarch, such a first auxiliary, now there is another zhanyunzhu——

These three people, let alone in one place, just pick one up and put it anywhere. They are all good seedlings of subjugation - if only they could be sent to the enemy country? Are you worried that Daqing will not be able to complete the hegemony of unifying all countries as soon as possible?

Considering this, the Duke of Zhenguo felt sorry for it from his heart.

After emperor Qingming said again about the so-called necessity of the war and Xia Tingzhen's words of approval from time to time, the Duke of the town had no choice but to open his mouth.

"Now that your majesty has made up his mind, the minister can only obey orders."

After hearing him relax, Emperor Qingming relaxed a lot: "I know that the Duke also cares about the world. In the final analysis, like me, he is thinking about Daqing."

As he said, he looked at the old man wearing a silk Fei robe and a jade belt around his waist: "as the Duke just said, there have been many wars in recent years. Now the imperial court has some difficulty in troop scheduling - this is also the reason why I called the Duke here today."

The Duke of the town replied, "if there is anything you can use, your majesty just orders."

"I want to borrow Xu Jiajun with the Duke -" emperor Qingming said with a smile, "let General Liu Sheng lead the army to recruit the Li nationality."

Hearing this, Xia Tingzhen's eyes changed slightly.

The emperor's purpose is here

Liu Sheng was his man and the confidant he used to disperse Ji Xiu's troops in his early years——

But if we talk about the generals in the current court except the Duke of Zhenguo, the emperor really has no better choice.

Thinking of the benefits it would bring if it could succeed, Xia Tingzhen waited for the Duke of Zhenguo's answer.

"Your Majesty wants Xu Jiajun to go to war. I have no objection." the Duke of Zhenguo said briskly and crisp, "but I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome. I'm the one who will lead the war."

Emperor Qingming slightly folded his fingers under his broad sleeve and said with a smile, "General Xu is concerned about war, but I can't put everything on General Xu's shoulder. Besides, the mother's birthday is coming, how can we lose General Xu?"

——What does the Empress Dowager's birthday have to do with him? Is he the leading dancer?

The Duke of the town should have said in this tone: "there are priorities. As a military general, fighting is the first-class business. I can distinguish it for the time being."

Listening to his insistence, the smile on emperor Qingming's lips faded.

Xia Tingzhen smiled vaguely and said, "why, isn't the Duke willing to lend troops to General Liu?"

The word "not willing" is very well used. It depends on how you understand it——

Looking at Xia Tingzhen, who hid the knife in his words, the face of the Duke of the town remained unchanged: "Lord Xia misunderstood. I just think Xu Jiajun is different from the soldiers of the three battalions under general Liu. I'm afraid he won't be able to use it easily - it's like riding a horse, not his own horse. If you ride it without running in, you'll probably fall over."

Xia Tingzhen smiled and said, "when marching and fighting, there are always changes. It's common for generals to make arrangements when they lead troops. Why is it that generals are not easy to be generals when they come to General Xu's mouth?"

"Has Lord Xia ever led a soldier to fight?" the Duke of the town was brief and comprehensive - he didn't fight. Why do you fart here?

Xia Tingzhen's face was slightly stagnant for a moment: "although I have never led a soldier, everything I see is like this -"

"Lord Xia, it's not advisable to talk about soldiers on paper." the Duke of the town surong said, "besides, when it comes to attacking the Li nationality, I beat them ten years ago. No one understands their terrain and combat habits better than me -"

Then he looked back at emperor Qingming and said, "it's not a joke to walk in the army. It's about knowing yourself and the enemy. It's about making a quick decision while trying to reduce our losses. Otherwise, over time, it will drag on troops, horses and food. At present, our national strength in Daqing can't afford such a long-time fierce war. Presumably, that's not what your majesty likes."

Listening to the old man's way of fighting one after another, it was almost impossible to refute. Emperor Qingming closed his fingers more and more tightly.

He looked at the old man with a solemn face. There was a trace of coldness in the bottom of his eyes. He said in a slow voice: "the Duke's hair is white. I really can't bear to see the Duke's hard struggle..."

Liji lowered her eyes silently.

The atmosphere in the air became tense at an unknown time, so that the other two internal supervisors did not dare to make a sound and stood there holding their breath as much as possible.

At this point, the meaning of your Majesty's words is almost obvious. Zhenguogong... Really don't you understand?

At this time, Yu Guangnei, the internal supervisor, saw the Duke of Zhenguo get up from his chair and raise his hand in the direction of his majesty——

"I understand that your majesty is sympathizing with me, but as a military general, even if I die in battle, it is a supreme honor!"

Emperor Qingming closed his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

What a great honor!

That's great!

"And the old minister thinks he is still strong!" the old man clenched his right hand and beat his strong chest, saying: "if your majesty doesn't trust his body, you can let General Liu come over and compete with him face to face!"

The old man's voice was loud and powerful. Liu Sheng, who had just been summoned to the outside of the imperial study, was surprised when he heard this sudden disaster, and hurriedly pulled the internal prison who was going to pass it in.

If he goes in at this time, isn't it a wooden stake sent to the door?

He doesn't want to be beaten!

Especially in front of the emperor!

At this time, I only felt that the imperial study in front of me was no longer the imperial study, but Liu Sheng of the deadly Shura field whispered to the internal supervisor: "Your Majesty should be talking about important matters with General Xu. I'll wait here first..."

The internal supervisor understood and responded.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qingming slowly opened his eyes, looked straight at the Duke of town, and asked calmly, "has the Duke really considered it clearly?"

The Duke of the town raised his hand and lowered his eyes and said, "yes, I have made up my mind. I hope your majesty will allow me."

"OK... Then I will fulfill the loyalty of the Duke." emperor Qingming suddenly smiled and turned to Li Ji and said, "immediately draw up a decree. Three days later, General Xu will personally lead 50000 troops to conquer the Li family!"

Li Ji pulled out a stiff smile and retreated.

"Serve tea -"

Emperor Qingming got up from the Dragon chair, took the tea held by the internal supervisor, smiled in the direction of the Duke of the town and said, "I'll be here first and replace wine with tea. May the general's trip triumph as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, your majesty. I will live up to my holy orders."

The Duke raised his hand, drank the tea in the cup and returned it to the internal supervisor.

"Things before the war were complicated, so the Duke must have to go to the barracks to recruit troops, so I won't leave the Duke to speak today -" emperor Qingming sat back.
