"King Zhao is right, our number one enemy should be Xi Shu!"
Bai Hua was the first to stand up.
"The Hexi area occupied by Xi Shu is extremely critical. If we can take it back and deploy heavy troops here, we can directly threaten Xi Shu and Liang Kingdom through this place!"
Shan Xin also nodded repeatedly.
"This place is indeed key. I don't know how many things Xi Shu has done here in the past hundred years. It has threatened my three southern counties several times! The Liang Kingdom used this route to capture the two counties north of the Shangtian River!"
As soon as the two said this, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty regained their composure.
Murong Bing also held his chin in one hand and looked in the direction of Hexi, thoughtfully.
Zhao Rui suddenly tilted his head and looked at Le Sheng, who was standing silently among the generals.
"General Le, what do you think?"
Le Sheng was in a daze. After all, he was the general of Bei Yan. Although the entire territory of Bei Yan had been included in the territory of Dashang, he did not have any title or official position in Dashang. He could only be regarded as a foreign minister at best.
"Reporting to King Zhao, the last general is still a foreign general and I am afraid he is not qualified..."
Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Rui.
"His Majesty has decided to confer you the title of General Zhennan and grant you the title of Duke of Yan State. He will issue imperial edicts from time to time. How can you say that you are a foreign general?"
Le Sheng was stunned for a moment. Although his family in Beiyan had been a general for generations and often led the country's troops, his highest title was only marquis.
Unexpectedly, when I got here, I was directly given the title of Duke.
Many ministers in the court also focused their attention on Le Sheng.
Being able to hold on to an isolated city with eight thousand old and weak soldiers against a million-strong army for nearly forty days. How could such an extraordinary talent not be astonishing?
Especially when they saw Le Sheng's childish face with knowledge, they were even more surprised.
"General, cough!" Le Sheng calmed down: "General, I think that the land west of Hexi is indeed important. If we can capture this place, we can approach the capitals of Western Shu and Northern Zhao to the west, and we can directly attack Liang to the east.
country! This will tie these three countries tightly and prevent them from allying with Nan Qi and Jiang Wu in the east!"
Zhao Rui's face suddenly became more excited. It seemed that Le Sheng was not only a general who defended the city, but his military ability was not inferior to that of Shan Xin and Bai Hua.
"Okay, from now on, Dashang's entire army will enter a state of preparation. In three months, they will march westward and capture the land west of Hexi!"
After saying that, Zhao Rui turned around and looked at Murong Bing.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Murong Bing shook his head slightly: "What King Zhao means is what I mean. From now on, you don't need to inform me about any decisions made by King Zhao. You can just make your own decision!"
Some new officials who entered the court were stunned for a moment. Wasn't this just handing over the imperial power to Zhao Rui?
However, most people are not surprised at all. They have been used to this situation for a long time, so it is not surprising.
After the court was dismissed, Zhao Rui accompanied Murong Bing back to the palace.
As soon as she entered the door, Murong Bing completely took off her disguise and wrapped herself around Zhao Rui like a little girl.
"These past few days, I have been putting on airs in front of those civil servants and generals, which annoys me to death! Even you, a bad guy, don't even tell me, come and find me yourself."
Zhao Rui felt helpless and pinched Murong Bing's face.
From the time he came back to now, almost all the state affairs of Dashang have fallen on him.
Shangguan Mu immediately ran to him with a lot of decrees and discussed with him in detail the setting of the nine departments in the imperial court.
There are also personnel appointments in the army and the disposal of the 300,000 rebels.
Although these three days were a welcome feast prepared for him, he didn't get a sound sleep at all.
Murong Bing is completely a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything.
