Chapter 229: A single move affects the whole body
"My dear friends, which general should be dispatched?" The empress glanced at several ministers with her bright eyes calmly.
Marquis Dingjun turned his head and looked at Prime Minister Wu with his round eyes wide open.
Although he has the merit of opening up territories, he is good at fighting but not good at planning. He is worried that if he says something wrong, he will be slapped in the face like Wen Xiang. Rather than being embarrassed, it is better to keep silent and let the good planners speak.
Seeing that no one spoke, Prime Minister Wu spoke slowly. Although his words were light, they had an indescribable power that made people dare not question him, "There is no one in Yunan Army Town who is suitable for this mission."
The implication is that generals must be dispatched from other places.
Prime Minister Wen snorted coldly and secretly scolded the other party for being pretentious and only speaking half of his words. He said loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mu Guerrillas can be dispatched to suppress the barbarians."
The full name of Mu Youyi in his mouth is Mu Haorang. He was the number one scholar in the martial arts examination in the first year of Zhanqing, and was ranked No. 1 in the same period as Zhu Yuankui.
After winning the first prize, Mu Haorang was named a third-grade guerrilla general and sent to Weixi Military Town, commanding 600,000 soldiers. He was on the front line and faced the Great Li.
In the eyes of Wen Xiang, Mu Haorang is the number one scholar. Even if he is not the strongest general in Linzhan, he is still one of the best. It is definitely not a bad idea to suggest that this person go to suppress the barbarians.
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wu twitched his lips and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Wen said is extremely inappropriate."
Wen Xiang suddenly frowned, feeling secretly angry.
He only said two sentences in the whole process, and the other party refuted both of them, so directed at himself... hateful!
The empress glanced at Prime Minister Wen, then looked at Prime Minister Wu, and asked, "What do you think Wan Aiqing has?"
The Prime Minister Wu didn't even look at the Wen Xiang, and said calmly, "Reporting to your Majesty, Mu Guerrilla is good at planning and likes to plan the whole plan and swallow it up with one move. This is not a good strategy to deal with barbarians."
Although they noticed the atmosphere between the two Xiangs and became extremely anxious, everyone present knew that Wen Xiang had the intention to deal with Wu Xiang, but Wu Xiang had no intention of ridiculing Wen Xiang.
Just because the intelligence of the two is not equal at all, there is no point in bullying them.
Therefore, when Prime Minister Wu rebutted, he really had different opinions.
Now after listening to what Wu Xiang said, everyone nodded in agreement.
During the martial arts competition, when strategies were tested, Mu Haorang's wonderful layout amazed everyone.
But facing the barbarians, this kind of tactics is meaningless.
Because there are many mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang, barbarians swim in the forests like fish swimming into the deep sea. It is completely impossible to gather them and annihilate them.
The empress pursed her red lips, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Which general does Wan Aiqing think is more suitable?"
"Zhu Shouwei, or... Jing Xun," Wu Yingying said, "Both of these two are famous for their quick tactics."
Zhu Shouwei is Zhu Yuankui, one of the leaders of the Jiangyuan School. Tanhua, who was born in the first year of Zhanqing, was named a fourth-rank Shouwei and commanded 200,000 soldiers.
He was born in the Zhu family, one of the six major families, and had great power, so they made some arrangements and transferred him to a safer position, where he became a guard of the imperial army guarding Zhanjing.
When the empress heard this, she frowned slightly and began to ponder.
Everyone was silent.
Although they are qualified to make proposals, only the empress can decide the final arrangement.
"Then send Lieutenant Zhu to suppress the barbarians." The empress lightly pursed her red lips and said firmly.
She knew that Jing Xun would be more suitable than Zhu Yuankui because Jing Xun was famous for his quick fighting.
Moreover, Jing Xun's fast fighting style has been used in actual combat. The last time he suppressed bandits, he led his army to attack hundreds of miles, and fought quickly to exterminate two groups of bandits in a short time, so fast that the bandits had no time to evacuate.
p>
Since Zhu Yuankui was awarded the title, he has never fought in a battle, so it is impossible to know whether his theoretical strength and actual combat ability match.
But the empress really didn't like what Jing Xun did, so she made such a decision.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wu nodded slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed across his deep eyes.
……
In the early morning, as the empress solemnly announced the edict and many ministers shouted long live, the news that Linzhan sent troops to suppress the southern barbarians spread rapidly throughout the Cangyuan Continent.
There are undercurrents everywhere, and hidden secrets are active. Spies are constantly being collected and sent to the major dynasties.
Dali, Liukang, Jingchao, Tianyou... In one day, many secret spies rode wildly and rushed for eight hundred miles to deliver the news to the powers of the major dynasties in a very short time.
Center.
In an instant, many powerful people set their sights on the southern end of Linzhan.
They want to see what kind of splash the Tianteng tribe, which the late Emperor Linzhan failed to destroy, will cause in the hands of the empress!
……
Tens of miles outside Zhanjing City, there is a wilderness.
Two luxurious carriages stood side by side, the horses stood still and neighed slightly.
The drivers of both carriages have gone far away and are observing their surroundings to ensure that no one is coming to disturb them.
From the carriage on the left, a person's voice came, extremely low, "My lord, I take this plan very seriously. You must not fail again!"
An old voice came from the carriage on the right, "I understand that the Chixin Sect pays special attention to it. Seven of the ten Dharma-protecting generals have been dispatched, and they will definitely be able to complete the plan arranged by the Lord."
The curtains of the two carriages have been lowered, and one can only hear each other's voices but cannot see each other's people.
"Sir, are you going to go all out this time?" the old voice asked with doubts.
"Well," the low voice responded, "My lord, I looked at the stars at night and found that the Emperor's star was dim and the bright star in the south was shining. It should be the barbarian tribe. This barbarian tribe's disaster will be a sign of imminent defeat!"
No wonder your Excellency supports the barbarians so much... The old man thought for a moment, and then said, "It should be the first sign, but it is by no means the last sign."
Your Excellency has unparalleled ingenuity and hidden chess moves. The role of the barbarians is to lead to many plans, and one move can affect the whole body.
When the time comes, Linzhan will be prone to frequent turmoil and be riddled with holes. No matter how much Zhanqing girl fills them up, it will be of no use!
The great cause of tomorrow is now!
When the old man's heart was racing, a low voice came again, "How is the plan implemented in the Jing Dynasty?"
The old man responded, "It's been done. The emperor of Jing Dynasty was furious and prepared to send soldiers to the border. He thought he could involve Da Li."
"The situation between Dali and Jing Dynasty, the more chaotic it is, the better," the deep voice became a little serious, "Remember, we must not let Dali pick our fruits!"
"I understand!" The old man nodded solemnly.
……
At the southernmost point of Linzhan, there is a village.
The village is quiet and deserted, and the door is wide open.
Many pots, pans, and vegetable residues were scattered on the ground, in a mess, as if they had been robbed by thieves.
There was deathly silence everywhere, and there was no human life. There was only a sound from a corner of the alley.
A beggar in ragged clothes was covered in filth. His legs had been cut off at the knees and he could only crawl on the ground alternately with his hands.
While crawling, he saw a piece of sage leaf beside him. He quickly picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and devoured it.
Then, as he was about to crawl forward, he suddenly heard a terrifying roar, like a wild beast!
In an instant, there was a loud sound of footsteps, and a group of savages wearing only animal skins, tattoos all over their bodies, and holding spears rushed into the village like evil ghosts and started rummaging frantically.
