Chapter 178： The holy emperor should drive himself to conquer

Sure enough, on the third day of the new year's court, the secret agents of the Eastern Kingdom sent an urgent report.

The emperor of the Eastern Kingdom sent 500,000 troops secretly to the border with the Ling Kingdom, and what he wanted to do was clearly revealed.

All the ministers were worried, even Grand Master Sun Hui, who always liked to rely on the old and sell the old, was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

Although Sun Hui likes power, he doesn't want Lingguo to be destroyed by Dongguo.

It's just that looking up and down, except for the old general Mu Lincong, there is no one suitable for battle.

Over the years, the little emperor had no real power in his hands, and the regent "Nanjun" valued literature over martial arts, and the generals in Lingguo were seriously faulted, and it was really difficult to pick out a few suitable ones.

The always noisy court hall was unexpectedly quiet at this time, and nothing could be heard except the slight panting of the crowd.

Qiao Yun put his hand on his forehead lightly, his eyes were tired and sour, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Even though Nan Jun was responsible for everything, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

The old general Mu Lincong stepped forward and saluted the emperor and the regent in the hall. His majestic voice echoed in the entire hall: "Although the last general has not fought for a long time, he is not afraid of those children from the Eastern Kingdom. The enemy army is coming, and the last general is willing to lead his troops to go."

Nan Jun's deep eyes swept towards the old man kneeling on the ground. Mu Lincong was over fifty this year. She followed her mother to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. She made countless military exploits and suffered countless wounds.

Because she was stationed at the border all the year round, Mu Lincong didn't get married until she was twenty-five years old, so now her daughters are not too old.

In this era of lack of medicine, fifty years old is an advanced age, let alone Mu Lincong who is still full of old diseases?

She wanted to refuse, but Sun Hui jumped out first.

"General Mu is old, even with his achievements in the past, how can he defeat those soldiers who are in their prime?"

Sun Hui would not hope that the military power of Lingguo would fall back to Mu Lincong's hands. Over the years, she, the Mu family and the Du family have always been a three-legged rivalry.

Mu Lincong had always been on good terms with Du Qin. If the Mu family regained military power, wouldn't her Sun family be at a disadvantage?

Besides, Mu Lincong was a bit too old, even if she led the army herself, she might not be able to defeat Lu Li, the fierce general of the Eastern Kingdom.

I heard that Na Luli was born in commoner clothes, and he was born with a lot of brute force. He was able to lift a wooden bucket full of water in the yard at the age of three, killed a cow at the age of seven, and rescued him back to the East from the mouth of a tiger at the age of eleven. The emperor who was on tour was brought back to the palace by the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, and handed over to the Imperial Forest Army for training. At the age of fifteen, he became the youngest major general in the Eastern Kingdom.

As soon as Mu Lincong saw Sun Hui, he became very angry. Hearing the sarcasm in her mouth, Mu Lincong rolled his eyes and couldn't help laughing: "Grand Master Sun feels that he is going to be old and can no longer lead the army to fight. Could it be that he already has the right one in his heart?" Or is it that Grand Master Sun is going to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, and personally lead troops to the border to drive out the Eastern Kingdom thieves and restore peace to my Ling Kingdom?"

"You..." Sun Hui was dumbfounded by Mu Lincong's words. She never knew that Mu Lincong, a stinky warrior, was also so eloquent.

"If Taishi Sun intends to ask for an order to go to the army, he will be willing to let the virtuous."

Mu Lincong was proud of himself, and finally let the old fox Sun Hui suffer for a while, to see if she dared to gossip all day long.

"What the old minister said is for the good of Lingguo, please think twice."

Sun Hui didn't want to talk to Mu Lincong any more, so she turned around and bowed to the two people in the first place.

But if Mu Lincong couldn't personally lead the troops out, who in the entire Linguo would be able to command the three armies?

Qiao Yun looked at Nan Jun in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Nan Jun looked at the two senior ministers kneeling on the ground, and for the first time ever agreed with Sun Hui.

"What the grand master said is reasonable. General Mu has been a soldier all his life. If he knows that he will still go into battle in the wrong year, does it mean that there is no one in my Lingguo?"

Sun Hui was overjoyed, and glanced triumphantly at Mu Lincong, who was kneeling beside him, with a look of resentment.

However, Mu Lincong was not in the mood to fight with Sun Hui again, so he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Jiuqian for your understanding, but even though the last general is nearly half a century old, he can still fight on the battlefield and protect the territory of our Lingguo from being violated."

"General Mu's heart to serve the country is understood by both the King and the Holy One. It's just that the Eastern Kingdom is coming so fiercely this time. This battle may not end in the short term. How can the general's body survive in that bitter cold place?"

"For the protection of Lingguo, the last general will die!"

When Mu Lincong decided to stand up, he never thought about coming back alive.

Others may not know it, but she herself knows it well. Recently, old illnesses have occurred frequently, especially at night, and the pain is unbearable.

It's just that the emperor of Lingguo was young at this time, and as an important minister of the three dynasties, she had to share the worries of the emperor, and she didn't have to spread the word that she was uninhabited in Lingguo.

"Have all the ministers seen this? General Mu has devoted his life to the country and the people, and his heart can be learned from the sun and the moon. With such a loyal minister in our Lingguo, why should we be afraid of foreign enemies?"

Nan Jun stared at the people standing below with their heads down, her shrewd eyes swept over their small movements. She was not afraid of foreign enemies, but she was afraid that someone would collude with foreign thieves and lure wolves into the house.

"Generals of the Yang Family" was once Nan Jun's favorite TV series. Although the entire family of the Yang family died at the hands of the enemy, how could it be that they were not killed by officials of the same dynasty?

The so-called open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against.

"You are all important ministers of our spiritual country. They are responsible for the country of our country and the life and death of the people of our country. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. If something happens to the country, all of us are slaves of the country. When you are in power, even if you are in a high position, you will always be stepped on by others."

"What Nine Thousand Years said is true."

Du Qin spoke first, and the ministers followed suit with downcast eyes.

"The 500,000 troops of the Eastern Kingdom are about to overwhelm the border, and we should work together to tide over the difficulties together!"

"I would like to obey the Nine Thousand Years Edict."

After Nan Jun's impassioned speech, the young officials in the first department felt hot all over. They wished they could abandon their literature and join the military immediately. They threw down their books, picked up their spears and shields, and followed General Mu to the front line.

"Nowadays, there is a shortage of military generals in our Lingguo Dynasty. After General Mu, there will be no good generals. In order to reassure the hearts of the people and the army, the holy majesty will be the emperor's personal conquest!"

When Nan Jun finished speaking, the whole court was turned upside down, especially Qiao Yun who was sitting beside Nan Jun.

Qiao Yun believed in Nan Jun in his heart, but he didn't understand why she said in public that he wanted him to lead the army.

Not to mention that he is under fourteen years old, and that he has never touched a sword since he was a child. Just talking about his identity, it will be inconvenient to go out with a group of soldiers. There is no need for the Eastern Kingdom to attack Jiangshan, and it will be messed up.

Qiao Yun's puzzled innocent eyes turned to Nan Min, and he wanted to see from her eyes whether what she said was true or not.

It's just that those eyes that were always cold were nothing but the indifference of the past.

Qiao Yun's heart turned cold, and she wanted to ask, is she really willing?
