Sign in a Lv Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 86 Cao Zhengchun, Read My Will

"Your Majesty, the old minister thought that the mighty Marquis was suitable."

"Mighty Marquis has fought countless times in his life, and he is also a famous veteran. His prestige in the army is second only to that of the Grand Master."

"It is most appropriate for the mighty Marquis to lead the troops to the four northern states to quell the rebellion."

The prime minister, Yuan Bo, recommended Marquis Wei Wu as the general to fight the rebellion in the four northern states.

After the death of the great generals Wu Jin and Taishi Wen Zhong, in the current dynasty, the prestige in the army and the ability to command the troops are the most powerful.

The other generals were a little worse.

Therefore, whether it is a hundred officials or the prime minister Yuan Bo, the first general who thinks of going out to suppress the rebellion is Wei Wuhou.

After Zhou Chen heard the words, he nodded, neither agreeing nor opposing, and looked at the other officials.

"Your Majesty, this minister also agrees with the mighty Marquis to lead the army."

"However, there are many rebels in the surrounding areas of the north, and I feel that relying on the mighty marquis alone may not be enough."

"Therefore, I think that General Lu Bu and Marquis Wei Wu should lead the army together. The two will lead an army separately, and divide the rebellion into two groups. This way, if something happens to one side, the other side can support it, which is more secure."

The Minister of War stood up and said.

In fact, to mobilize the troops to fight, the Minister of War is no worse than the mighty Marquis.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the Minister of War to take the position of the Minister of War and lead the entire Ministry of War.

No one can sit in this position.

If you do not know military affairs, do not know how to command the army, and do not have a certain accumulation of military merit, you will not be able to sit in this position.

It's just that the prestige of the mighty Marquis is bigger than that of the Minister of War.

Following the advice of the Minister of War, the Eight Sages also stood up.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees with the opinion of the Minister of War."

"The current situation in the four northern states is indeed not optimistic, and it may be difficult for the mighty Marquis to wipe out all the rebels alone."

"If General Lu Bu can lead his troops on the expedition together, they can annihilate the rebels faster and quell the rebellion in the four northern states."

Zhou Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, knew about Lu Bu's combat power, that is, the existence of a half-step celestial being able to knock down Zhou Rushan with a single halberd.

In addition, Lu Bu is a military general.

If Lu Bu could lead his army to the expedition, then the chaos in the four northern states would be settled.

As for the mighty marquis, the prestige and the combat ability of leading troops are indeed the strongest in the DPRK at present, but can he be stronger than Taishi Wenzhong?

Even the Grand Master Wen Zhong was killed in the hands of the Yellow Heaven Sect demon, so the mighty Marquis led the army to quell the rebellion alone, wouldn't that be sending food to others?

Therefore, this is also the reason why the Minister of War and the Eight Sages advised Lv Bu to go on the expedition together.

"What about the soldiers and horses?"

"How much is appropriate to mobilize?"

Zhou Chen asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are twelve Shenwu guards, and now 3 guards followed the grand master and died in the four northwestern prefectures. There are only eleven guards with more than 30 soldiers and horses left."

"And Shenwuwei is the foundation of guarding Luoyang, the capital of God, and deterring the world. Luoyang's safety is also the top priority."

"So, I think that the Shenwu Guards left at least [-] soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang."

The Minister of War is in charge of military affairs, so he has the most say in this matter.

The Minister of War immediately stood up and said.

And other ministers such as the Eight Sages and the Mighty Marquis also agreed.

Luoyang, as the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, naturally need not say more about its importance.

If there is not enough army to guard, if something unexpected happens, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, the opinions of the hundred officials were that the Shenwu Guards should leave at least a hundred thousand troops to guard Luoyang.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling had not spoken, Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling; "Fang Xuanling, what advice do you have?"

All the officials also looked at Fang Xuanling.

Baiguan knew in his heart that Fang Xuanling was the confidant of the one on the dragon chair.

They all wanted to see what good advice Fang Xuanling had.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have said everything in a comprehensive way, so I won't say more."

"However, what this minister wants to say is that there are many rebels in the four northern states, and it has gradually become a climate. Therefore, the imperial army must use thunder to sweep the vortex and wipe out the rebels in the four states in one fell swoop."

"You must never give them a chance, otherwise, the court will be dragged into the quagmire by the situation around the north."

"In addition to leaving the soldiers guarding Luoyang, Shenwuwei has a little shortage of troops that can be mobilized."

"So, the minister suggested that the emperor could issue a decree to the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, and let them transfer their monarchs to the south to suppress the rebellion."

Fang Xuanling said slowly.

Fang Xuanling's words changed Baiguan's expression slightly.

The prime minister, Yuan Bo, immediately stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang are guarding the frontier and defending against the Beidi and Xirong aliens."

"If there is a decree that the Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang transfer their troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, the defense of the border will be empty."

"At that time, once the Beidi and Xirong aliens change, the border defense line there will be dangerous."

"At that time, what Da Zhou had to face was the mob who had just put down the farm tools, but the brutal iron cavalry aliens."

"So, I ask the emperor to think twice."

The Prime Minister Yuan Bo stated that he had a great relationship.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right, the Marquis of Zhenbei and Marquis of Xiliang are both responsible for the great surrounding area."

"You can't easily mobilize the frontier troops under their command to go south to suppress the rebellion."

"If the frontier is lost, then the frontier defense that Da Zhou has planned for many years will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

"This consequence is unbearable for Dazhou."

The minister of households also stood up against Fang Xuanling's proposal.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight ministers stood up in a row to oppose the mobilization of the border troops to the south.

After all, in the eyes of these ministers in the court, the rebels in the four northern states are just a few mobs, and they can't be compared with the aliens outside the customs.

If the border troops are mobilized to go south, once there is a mistake at the border, what Da Zhou faces will not be as simple as some mob.

But a fierce and powerful alien.

If that time comes, it will be troublesome.

After hearing Fang Xuanling's words and the objections of these ministers, Zhou Chen didn't change his expression much, but glanced at Cao Zhengchun next to him and said, "Cao Zhengchun, read my will!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun directly took out the imperial edict that he had prepared; "The emperor has a decree to appoint the mighty Marquis as Zhonglang General, and lead [-] Beiying Shenwu Guards to go to the four northern states to exterminate the rebels of the Yellow Heaven Sect."

"The emperor has a decree to designate Lu Bu as the general of Zhonglang, and lead one hundred thousand Nanying Shenwu Guards to the land of the four northern states to destroy the rebel army of Zhou Qian, the king of Xiaoyao."

"The emperor has a decree to seal Fang Xuanling, and Zhou Xian, the eight sage kings, are commissioned ministers, and they go to the four northern states to be fully responsible for disaster relief. The matter of saving the people."

"The emperor has a decree and ordered the Ministry of War to immediately send an order to Zhenbeihou and Xilianghou, and mobilize some of the border troops to go south to suppress the rebellion."

After Cao Zhengchun finished reading the imperial decree, he stepped aside.

When Baiguan heard the wills announced by Cao Zhengchun, his expressions were inexplicable.

It turned out that the emperor Zhou Chen had already made a decision in his heart, and it was not much different from the advice they had just given.
