Han Wugui and Zhu Youde did not fight face to face. They were both soldiers, planning in the tent and winning thousands of miles.
Han Wugui spoke highly of Lao Zhu, but Zhu Youde was very angry.
If he knew about Han Wugui, he would have told him that the sneak attacker was rubbish. Do you know how much I lost?
Twelve thousand people were lost, not on the battlefield, but in a sneak attack.
This was unacceptable to Zhu Youde.
No more martial ethics.
Moreover, the princess of Yan Kingdom was lost and a loyal eunuch died.
After that, the army became more heavily guarded, and the exploration horses were released for more than ten kilometers, speeding up all the way, and finally arrived at Xuzhou.
After Liang Zan heard about the sneak attack, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just be happy!"
Are you speaking human language?
Zhu Youde glared at Liang Zan, but Liang Zan didn't care: "Your Majesty, Han Wugui, a famous general in the world, has never failed once since he joined the army. He is the military god of Northern Yan. Now, he failed to succeed in his sneak attack on your Majesty. This man was finally defeated."
, his record as an undefeated military god has been shattered.”
Zhu Youde knew that Liang Zan was just trying to trick him.
"You don't need to be like this. I don't need this kind of flattery. Being plotted by others is being plotted by others. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. It's not Han Wugui that I hate. What I'm annoyed about is that the generals of Daliang are like pigs and dogs. They are attacked by others.
After that, we actually set up camp directly. If the imperial concubine Deng didn't make the decisive decision to lead the cavalry into the battle, I might have died in this sneak attack and the general would be useless."
Liang Zan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Jiangmen is involved in many things, and I feel that now is not the time to touch Jiangmen."
"Huh? You don't think it's appropriate?"
"It's really not appropriate. Your Majesty, Bei Yan is in turmoil now, and the world is about to change. I am trying to save the strength to unify the world. Although the generals are unusable, there will always be tall ones among the short ones, and there will always be a few upbeat people!"
What he said was true, but Zhu Youde was just angry.
This sneak attack completely exposed the incompetence of the middle-level officers in Daliang. When the traditional army faced this kind of sneak attack, its ability to organize defense was too weak!
Zhu Youde nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable, but the war to destroy the country is so huge. To raise a large army, you need generals. There is no one available for the army, and the combat power is insufficient. Although I have Wang Po, Wang Potian, Zhou Heng and Qing, etc.
People are still not enough, no matter how many palaces and temples there are, when the country is destroyed, the army will eventually have to fight decisively."
Liang Zan said: "I invite your Majesty to hold a military examination and select the most capable generals in the world."
"I promise."
Liang Zan was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty, there are many heroes in the north. If your Majesty launches a martial arts competition, the people of the world will definitely follow suit. There are also people in our court who can be used. I hope that your Majesty will be able to do it based on talents regardless of his origin."
Zhu Youde nodded: "I am not someone who values family status. You can rest assured that as long as there are talented people, I am willing to give them a chance. There is great competition in the world and it is the time for men to gain fame. I will open the door wide and welcome them to come.
"
Zhu Youde stayed in Xuzhou for three days, then left Deng Yu and the 100,000 troops behind, and returned to the capital with his civilian husband and the remaining troops.
It was really lonely and speechless along the way. After passing Xuzhou, we were already within Daliang's sphere of influence, so we didn't have to worry about anyone daring to attack me any more.
It's been a smooth journey.
The ministers of the imperial court came to greet him outside the capital. After seeing the emperor, Feng Bogong and others first paid homage to him.
"Your Majesty, everything is fine. God bless you."
Seeing Zhu Youde walking out of the car intact, Feng Bogong and others breathed a sigh of relief.
When they heard in Jinling that the emperor's troops had been attacked by someone, they were almost frightened to death.
The emperor has no descendants yet.
If this person dies, Daliang will really be doomed.
Zhu Youde took a group of ministers back to the palace directly, but his home was still safe.
After having a meal, we summoned the ministers for a meeting.
"Zhao Wuji is dead!"
Suddenly, a group of ministers were dumbfounded. Everyone's breathing became rapid. Zhao Wuji's presence was always a knife pressing on Daliang's head.
Now that he is dead, Daliang is finally free.
"Is your Majesty's information confirmed?" Feng Bogong asked quickly.
Zhu Youde said: "I had doubts before, but since Han Wugui attacked me secretly, I am sure that Zhao Wuji is definitely dead, and the Yan Kingdom must be in civil strife at this moment."
"Okay, great, my opportunity as a leader has come!"
"The late Emperor bless you!"
Zhu Youde had a smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.
Can my dead dad still protect me? If he doesn't cheat me, then that's good.
But please don’t let another Xiaoling earthquake happen. It’s really unbearable.
These ministers were all smart people. As soon as they consulted with each other, they began to discuss the state affairs of Beiyan.
"Zhao Wuji is here, and Northern Yan should be unified. Now that he is dead, the Northern Yan royal family, military, and several princes must be very ambitious."
"Han Wugui must have Tuogu's orders. He must go back to suppress the country and stabilize Northern Yan. In this way, we, Daliang, can quickly send troops to occupy Yunzhou and Yanzhou, and bring the land of Hebei into the pass."
"The national treasury has money, and the Ministry of Revenue has money this time, so we can fight."
"The troops from the southeast should also be mobilized to join the battle!"
The ministers all thought it was okay, and after speaking, they looked at Zhu Youde who was sitting at the head of the table.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Youde nodded: "You are very considerate, but what I mean is to conquer the grassland!"
Feng Bogong and other ministers were immediately speechless. We are talking about Beiyan. What does it have to do with the grassland?
Is this nonsense?
You are the emperor and if you don't want to, then you don't want to, what about the grassland?
Zhu Youde asked Wang Zhonghou to open the map, and his finger slipped!
"It is certain that the Yan Kingdom will be in chaos, but I have no intention of participating in it. I am planning to capture the grassland and take it back to Daliang. We will station troops in the grassland. When we destroy Yan in the future, we can send troops from the grassland. Therefore, you and others will start from now on."
Let’s plan how to sweep the grassland!”
Lu Jun waited for Zhu Youde to finish speaking, then flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise, we didn't even think that we could send troops from the grassland, but your Majesty is taking a long-term view. Conquering the grassland will not only make plans for sending troops in the future, but also weaken the army."
The influence of Yan State on the grassland."
Feng Bogong and others glanced at Lu Jun unhappily, this toady.
You flatter the emperor just after he comes home. Do you want to lose face?
The advantage of them naturally conquering the grassland is that they can conquer the grassland if they want to. The Yan State is so powerful that they dare not say that they have conquered the entire grassland.
Moreover, the grassland peoples are running around everywhere and are hard to find.
Feng Bogong was afraid that this would be another quagmire.
"Your Majesty, the Mongol people on the grassland are difficult to fight!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, why not attack Hebei!"
"Destroy the Yan Kingdom!"
As soon as Feng Bogong said this, other ministers began to speak one after another, all with the same idea: don't touch that mess in the grassland.
The Mongols ran too fast, coming and going like the wind. It would not be worthwhile for Daliang to start a war with the grassland.
It is easier to defeat Yan State.
Seeing that Zhu Youde remained silent, Feng Bogong led the ministers to kneel down and said loudly: "For forty years, I, Daliang, have been oppressed by the Northern Yan. The country of Xuzhou is as shameful as snow. I ask your majesty to send troops to destroy Yan. It will be a shame for our country!"
