Ningguo is not the one with the largest land area among the three countries in the world, but it is the one with the best location. Whether it is agriculture, commerce, or handicrafts, etc., it is relatively developed. Although it has been affected and hit a lot in recent years, it still blocks the
The unstoppable trend of development has led to rapid economic growth, so the benefit is that military strength has also increased.
Therefore, within a few days after Emperor Ning made the decision to send 100,000 troops to reinforce the northwest, the army near Gyeonggi completed the assembly as quickly as possible, and even grain and grass supplies had been transported to the northwest in advance.
In the morning court, Emperor Ning was sitting on the dragon chair with a majestic look on his face: "The barbarians of Jiang State are ambitious and have always been concerned about the northwest of Ning State. In the fifth year of Yuan Qi, they sent out 150,000 troops, but were finally stopped by our Ning State army.
Outside the Pass, ten years have passed, and they are still determined to invade our northwest. In this case, let them see the strength of our Ningguo army, pass on my will, and make Xie Wu, the General of the Protectorate, the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition.
From now on, we will lead Muzhou’s 100,000-strong army to conquer the barbarians and protect our Ningguo territory!”
Hearing this, Xie Wu, who was standing in front of a group of generals, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I obey the order!"
Emperor Ning stood up slowly, raised his arms and shouted: "Anyone who dares to invade our territory of Ning will be killed without mercy!"
Immediately, all the civil and military officials in the palace responded one after another.
"Long live your Majesty, Ning Guo will surely win!"
"Long live your Majesty, Ning Guo will surely win..."
After that, Ning Guo discussed some arrangements and deployment of the Western Expedition army with several generals and officials of the Ministry of War. The whole court was busy talking for a long time, and then it became quiet for a while. Just when this topic was about to turn over.
At that moment, a figure stood out from the crowd.
"Father, I would like to ask my son to follow the army to the northwest to kill the enemy. I will do my best to let the barbarians of Jiang State know our determination to defend the territory of Ning State!" Li Yu changed his usual playful smile, his eyes were firm and his expression was firm.
Said calmly.
As soon as he said this, all the officials' eyes suddenly focused on him.
In today's court battle, because of Tang Ji, Li Yu has the upper hand. At this time, he actually volunteered to go to the northwest? Not to mention that the northwest is inherently dangerous. If he really has to go, what will happen to King Xun and King Jin?
Don't you seize this opportunity and get rid of him secretly?
But having said that, Tang Ji has not gone to court for three consecutive days. Does this mean he doesn’t want to do it?
The next second, the heroic figure walked out from the crowd of military generals: "Your Majesty, the situation in the northwest war is complex and changeable. His Royal Highness Youwang has a distinguished status. If he is involved in danger, the consequences will be disastrous, so it is better to stay in the capital."
Li Yu glanced at Song Yao with his peripheral vision, already guessing that she would stand up and object.
However, it was not easy to encounter such an opportunity, and officials from King Xun and King Jin's camps naturally would not let it go. They rarely united the front and came out to speak one after another.
"Your Majesty, I feel that if His Royal Highness Prince You goes to the northwest with the army, it will definitely improve morale, and the people in the northwest will respect the royal family and the court even more!"
"I feel that General Song Yao is overly worried. The northwest army is poised to win. With His Highness King You supervising the war, we will surely be victorious in every battle!"
"I will reconsider!"
"..."
Immediately, officials from King You's camp also stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, General Song is right. His Royal Highness King You has a distinguished status. If anything happens, it will be a huge loss to the court and the royal family!"
"Your Majesty, think twice. Your Highness, King You, must never go to the northwest."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
"..."
Soon, the two camps began to confront each other and quarrel.
Ning Huang, who was sitting above, frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and raised his voice and shouted: "That's enough, look at what you have become each and every one of you. This is the Golden Palace, not the market!"
Immediately, he turned his attention to Li Yu. Tang Ji had already set off yesterday, and Song Yao was also among the army of the Western Expedition. So he knew very well why this brat wanted to go to the northwest. However, the swords on the battlefield had no eyes.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life... He shook his head in a dilemma, and finally asked: "Li Yu, have you thought about it?"
"I'd like to inform my father, I've already thought about it!" Li Yu replied firmly.
Hearing this, Song Yao frowned slightly and stood there and sighed.
Emperor Ning was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, according to my decree, Li Yu will be appointed as the supervisor of the Western Expedition Army, and he will assist the commander-in-chief in supervising the three armies!"
Li Yu immediately showed joy and quickly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, father, for your kindness!"
Seeing this, Li Qin and Li Xian, who were standing not far away, raised the corners of their mouths at the same time, revealing a faint smile.
After the interlude ended, the morning court continued, ending only after two sticks of incense.
Li Yu turned his head to observe Song Yao from time to time when he was in the Golden Palace. When he saw her serious face, he knew that she was angry, so he chased after her as soon as she came out of the Golden Palace.
Song Yao glared at him and without saying a word, she quickened her pace and walked towards the side path.
"Hey, Sister Yao!" Li Yu raised his hand slightly and then chased after her.
This scene was caught by Li Qin. He withdrew his gaze and walked slowly down the long steps in a very elegant manner. With a smile on his lips, he murmured: "Good brother, this is the opportunity you gave yourself.
ah!"
On the other side, Li Xian was also planning in his mind. Since Li Yu returned to Beijing, he has been suppressed and retreated steadily. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Just wait to die!"
