After Li Jing finished speaking, the ministers immediately began to discuss.

Song Qiqiu said: "Your Majesty, although Guo Wei died, there was no turmoil in the Zhou State. Guo Wei adopted son Guo Rong succeeded to the throne, and Guo Hao was also the Privy Councilor, in charge of Zhou State's troops..."

Speaking of Guo Hao, all the civil and military officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty regretted it, especially Li Jing and Song Qiqiu. They both wanted to kill Guo Hao at the beginning, so they followed Guo Hao all the way.

As a result, Guo Hao ran away with such layers of obstruction. In fact, those cavalry were sent by Li Jing. As long as he nodded, Guo Hao might have died long ago.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world. Now Guo Hao has become the biggest threat to Nan Tang. If they attack rashly, if they annoy Guo Hao, who knows whether he will wait for an opportunity to take revenge?

"Then Guo Hao is just a clan, and he is less than thirty years old. If it weren't for Guo Wei's favor, how could he have become the Privy Councilor?"

As soon as Li Jing said this, the ministers all felt it was reasonable. Although they had heard about Guo Hao, they were just learning. He was lucky enough to escape back to the Central Plains.

As for his ability, many people don’t think he is so powerful. Li Jing even thought that if Guo Hao dares to take the challenge, he will catch him, which will be considered a shame to avenge his previous shame.

Seeing that some ministers were shaken, Wei Cen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate Guo Hao. Although he is young, he has outstanding military achievements.

When Guo Wei pacified the river, Guo Hao joined Guo Wei's tent, showing his talents and strategies in this battle. At that time, Li Shouzhen had enough food and grass, and the city was strong and strong. It was not a problem to defend for a year or two. Bai Congke had been unable to conquer for a long time before.

However, Guo Wei and Guo Hao used some methods, but they took Li Shouzhen in just half a year, and the other two were destroyed one after another, which shows Guo Hao's extraordinaryness.

After that, Guo Hao led an army of 10,000 and pacified Liu Chong from Hedong in less than half a year. It was rumored in the army that he was a god descending to earth and knew five thunder magic. Such a person should not be despised!"

"snort!"

Before Wei Cen finished speaking, Li Hongji snorted coldly. He was a genuine war sect and had the ambition to annex the world. Before the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed Ma Chu, he tried his best to promote it. Now that he has the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, how could he miss it?

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there still the Liao Kingdom? The Khitan echoes us from afar. The Great Zhou may be in a hurry. We just happened to win in chaos and march into the Central Plains step by step!"

Li Hongji's words were also Li Jing's idea. Since Li Jing left, Li Jing slowly accepted this son. At least in terms of war, the father and son are one mind.

However, although Li Jing left, Li Jing still did not establish a crown prince. The letter Guo Hao asked him to release was still there, but his name was blank. Li Hongji knew that at this time, he had always had a grudge in his heart.

"Hongji is right. With the Liao Kingdom echoing us, Zhou Kingdom will be overwhelmed. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once Guo Rong stabilizes the situation, it is very likely that he will invade our Tang Dynasty in turn."

Li Jing was very good at this aspect. In history, Chai Rong succeeded to the throne in the second year, and in the second year of his reign, he conquered Huainan three times. He dared not be called emperor and changed to the title of king.

However, history has shifted now, and without the trouble of the Northern Han Dynasty, the strength of the Great Zhou is stronger than that of the same time, so some ministers have concerns.

"Your Majesty, let alone whether we can defeat the Zhou army, even if the Zhou Kingdom is destroyed, your Majesty should not forget the truth that the lips and teeth are cold. Once there is no barrier to the Central Plains, our Tang Dynasty will face the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom!"

Song Qiqiu wanted to change the topic and persuade Li Jing to take allusions, but Li Jing was not scared. He knew very well that Central Plains was not so easy to take.

"The destruction of Zhou State is not something that can be achieved overnight, but it is still necessary to weaken their strength.

My Tang Dynasty is now armed with 200,000 armors, and its strength is not as good as the big Zhou Dynasty, so even if the Zhou army attacks us, we are not without the power to fight!"

Li Jing had made up his mind. He didn't want to give up this opportunity. Now Guo Wei's coffin has not been buried yet, and Chai Rong's mind has not changed yet, so it's not time to go.

"Hongji, you lead 20,000 troops to attack Yingzhou, strive to go north, echo the Liao army, and head towards Bianliang!"

"yes!"

Li Jing's order has been issued, and Li Hongji directly told the messenger, and at the same time told him what he thought and asked him to tell the Khitan Lord.

It was already February. After the envoy returned to the Khitan, it was only half a month since Chai Rong succeeded to the throne.

The Khitan Lord was very happy to learn that the Southern Tang agreed to send troops. He also sent him to order Yang Gun to attack Dingzhou with more than 10,000 cavalry.

The war reports came from the north and south borders at the same time. Chai Rong was very angry and decided to go to the battle in person, but was stopped by the ministers.

"The Khitan and the Southern Tang did not send much troops, and they mostly tried to harass and test them. They knew that the strength of our Great Zhou was not trying to fight to the death.

Your Majesty has recently succeeded to the throne and has become emperor for a short time. People's hearts are easily shaken. It is not advisable to send out easily. Generals should be ordered to resist."

After the ministers finished speaking, Chai Rong said: "Fortunately, our country has a great destruction. We despise me for young and new succession to the throne. We are quite willing to annex the world. This time we will definitely make a big fight, and I must go there."

After Chai Rong finished speaking, Feng Dao argued repeatedly. Chai Rong said: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang pacified the world and went out to fight in person. How could I dare to be at ease!"

Feng Dao said: "I wonder if Your Majesty can become Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

Chai Rong said: "With the strength of my troops, driving away the two countries is like crushing eggs from a mountain. Even if he invades the whole country, I am not afraid!"

Feng Dao: "I wonder if Your Majesty can become a mountain?"

Chai Rong was very unhappy. At this time, Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the two countries are so humiliating, and they should indeed fight together!"

Wang Pu's words came to Chai Rong's heart. He wanted to prove himself now. He even wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Nan Tang to save himself from restlessness.

"Don't you understand why the late emperor arranged this way? Have you forgotten that he can also replace His Majesty with him!"

After Feng Dao finished speaking, Chai Rong remembered that the army is now under Guo Hao. Guo Wei had long expected that it would be today, and also expected that Guo Hao would not be a Privy Councilor, so he instructed Chai Rong that if necessary, Guo Hao could lead his troops to the expedition.

When it comes to Guo Hao's ability, Chai Rong actually doesn't believe it, mainly because Guo Hao has been "not doing his job" over the years, neither a civil servant nor a military general, so Chai Rong doesn't believe him a little.

But in Guo Wei's view, this is a manifestation of both civil and military affairs. He thinks that Guo Hao: literary can lead to a pen to govern the world, and martial arts can lead to a horse to determine the world.

But Guo Hao is too young and a little lazy. He likes money and women. Although he is humble on the surface, he values ​​fame and fortune very much. His only advantage is that he does not value power, which is the most important and reassuring thing.

Therefore, such people often need to be encouraged. Guo Hao has experienced a lot in the four years of the court, and has been there in the local area and in the court. Unfortunately, God gave him too short time and he could not temper Guo Hao until he became a talent.

Guo Wei forced Guo Hao to lead his troops, mainly because of the Chinese ministers in the court, and needed a wise and brave general to charge for Chai Rong.

But everyone has different perspectives on people. Chai Rong did not see Guo Hao's potential. Like Li Jing and the others, he felt that he was lucky. So Chai Rong was polite to Guo Hao on the surface, but in fact he wanted to alienate him. Who made Guo Hao's son almost rob him of his position?

Now that Feng Dao mentioned Guo Hao, Chai Rong felt that it was not impossible to let him go to war, but Guo Hao had only one person and could only pacify one side.

"Since that's the case, I ordered Guo Hao to lead an army of 10,000 to go north to face the Khitan enemy, Li Chongjin led an army of 20,000 to go south to stop the Tang Dynasty's invasion."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Chai Rong's decree was issued, and the imperial edict was quickly delivered to the two of them. Li Chongjin was nothing, while Guo Hao was speechless.

Chai Rong really trusted him with the 10,000 Zhou army and the other side was a cavalry, and most of Guo Hao's side were infantry. Who made him have fewer people in the front office? Li Chongjin's guards and infantry were also many.

"You can't get it wrong, right?"

Guo Hao thought to himself, and then inquired about the situation in the court. Chai Rong did say so, only given him ten thousand people, and this scene was so similar.

With the order, Guo Hao naturally had to obey. The ones he could lead this time were Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, Liu Shouzhong, Han Chongyun, and four generals, two chief and two deputy chiefs.

As for the others, except for Zhao Kuangyin who stayed in Bianliang, the others followed Li Chongjin. Zhao Kuangyin was a little depressed about this, but the capital was indeed inseparable from him.
