Li Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Song Yu with a calm expression!
"Song Aiqing, please continue!"
"Yes! The Huyan Royal Court is very prejudiced against our recovery of Heshuo and Shuo, and it seems that they intend to hinder Wu Guogong's progress in Hetao!"
"I don't know which leader of the Huyan Royal Court made the suggestion. The Huyan Royal Court's current offensive against the Spies Royal Court is now tense and loose. Wu Guogong infers that the Huyan Royal Court is deliberately releasing water!"
"It seems...it seems that they are trying to drive away wolves and devouring tigers, so that the Royal Court of Spieth can free up troops to deal with Duke Wu's attack!"
"As for whose idea it was, the scouts are still conducting further investigation, and there is no conclusion yet!"
"I suggest that your Majesty send an envoy to the Huyan Royal Court to have a good negotiation on the issues between Heshuo and Heshuo. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for Duke Wu to have the Huyan Royal Court's bloody mouth behind him. Once the Huyan Royal Court rebels, he will attack
Wu Guogong’s Northern Expedition Army! Even if the two armies of Suzhou and Ganzhou want to rescue them, they may not be able to come in time!"
"Especially with the sudden fall of snow in the North, the weather has reached an unprecedented level of coldness in recent years. Ice has covered all the rivers, and the drinking water problem is also a big problem!"
"Furthermore, Mr. Wu Guogong is old and suddenly encountered such bitter cold weather. His body has been showing signs of weakness in recent days. This is an urgent document sent from Northern Xinjiang ten days ago by Mr. Wu Guogong. I hope that your majesty... your majesty
..."
Song Yu held up the book in his hand and looked a little hesitant. Li Zheng frowned: "Tell me what's going on?"
"Wu Guogong is worried that his body may not survive this winter. I hope that your Majesty will prepare a replacement as soon as possible!"
As soon as Song Yu finished speaking, there was a sudden discussion in the court, and they were all talking about Duke Wu Guo's body!
The two places have recovered one area, but Wu Guogong's body is in crisis. This is definitely not a good thing!
Li Zhengye's pupils tightened, his lips trembled slightly, and he held the armrests of the dragon chair tightly with both hands to hide his inner panic!
Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists. The commander-in-chief of the three armies knows the battlefield situation very well. Once a new commander is replaced, it is one thing whether the soldiers under his command are convinced. The most important thing is whether the new commander can quickly accept the war situation!
Once we don't understand the enemy's situation, we are afraid that the entire army will be wiped out!
The army of generals, whose eyes had always brightened up whenever they heard about a battle, also lowered their heads at this moment, looking a little helpless!
No one dares to take the initiative to ask to be the commander of the Northern Expedition. Changing the commander before the battle, rushing into battle without understanding the battlefield conditions, it would be a small life if he loses his life. What if he loses the Heshuozhi that Wu Guogong finally conquered?
Oh, I'm afraid that my family will also be implicated!
Li Zheng naturally discovered the behavior of the generals and frowned slightly but did not reprimand him!
He also understands the thoughts of these generals. The pressure of changing commanders on the spot is many times more difficult than commanding a new army. Everything is unpredictable!
Li Zheng subconsciously looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was in the civil service position, and saw that Liu Mingzhi's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed tightly!
He is the commander-in-chief who has led an army of 400,000 to conquer the Western Regions. No one knows better than him the pressure of changing commanders before battle!
The military situation is changing rapidly, and the new commander will face a lot of pressure even if Sun Wu is still alive!
Fighting a war is not as simple as talking about it. One wrong step, one wrong step, one step wrong, one step wrong, one step wrong, one thousand miles wrong, and eventually the entire army will be annihilated. This is all possible!
"Gong Aiqing of the Imperial Medical Office!"
"I'm here!"
"Immediately after the next court, thirty imperial doctors with superb medical skills will be dispatched to Ganzhou under the escort of the imperial guards. No matter what method is used, the old Duke's body must be completely cured!"
"this......."
The Imperial Medical Office looked at Li Zheng with an embarrassed expression. If Wan Buhai was unwell, they and other imperial doctors might still have a chance to rejuvenate. They were afraid that Wu Guogong was not just sick, but they were even more afraid that Wan Buhai was about to run out of energy. Even if
No matter how superb their medical skills are, they may not be able to save the day!
"Um?"
Facing Li Zheng's oppressive eyes, the Imperial Medical Office nodded gloomily: "I obey the decree!"
Li Zheng looked at Song Yu with a gloomy face: "Song Aiqing, go on!"
"Your Majesty, I have the guts to say this. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Your Majesty, please prepare someone to take command as soon as possible!"
Li Zheng frowned and glanced at the team of generals: "Guo Aiqing, Marquis of Chun'an, after the old Duke leaves, you will be the main general. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
Chun'an Marquis Guo Le glanced at his fellow generals behind him with a confused expression, and shook his head in embarrassment: "I am incompetent. There are quite a few generals who can command an army of 300,000 people in the Northern Expedition. However, when the commander of the court changes before the battle,
Except...except Duke Dingguo, there is no one left! Duke Dingguo led an army of 400,000 in the Western Expedition and commanded it very well!"
"Compared to us old ministers who have been enjoying themselves in the court for a long time, no one except Duke Ding can be the new leader! Duke Ding conquered the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions. His ability to adapt to the situation was to do this.
The best person to take charge!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at this old guy Chun Anhou, "Mother, I have no grudges with you these days and will never have any grudges in the future. Why do you want to harm me!"
If Liu Mingzhi, the Marshal of the Northern Expedition, had no objection, the key point was that he could only understand the situation of the Northern Expedition army from the battle reports. If he was suddenly put in command, he would feel unreasonable.
This is not just a child's play, it involves the lives of 300,000 troops and the recovered Heshuo grassland. No one dares to be careless!
Li Zheng glanced at Chun'an Hou and Liu Dashao with deep eyes, especially staying on Liu Mingzhi for a long time.
After Wu Guogong left, all the military generals praised Duke Dingguo, who was among the civil servants. This was a result that Li Zheng had never expected. Liu Mingzhi was now Duke Dingguo. If he accumulated countless military exploits, what would he do?
?What will the prince do in the future?
Li Zheng took a deep breath and looked at Marquis Chun'an and the generals with unkind eyes!
"Marquis of Chun'an, Liu Aiqing has already taken up the important post of governor of Yingzhou and Fuzhou. How can he be the person in charge? You thirty-two people, ranging from the marquis to the lord, can't find anyone who can take charge.
Someone?"
Hearing Li Zheng question Chun'an Hou Liu Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that he would never become the new head coach. It wasn't that Liu Mingzhi didn't know justice, but that he knew his own strength!
"Your Majesty, please punish me for your incompetence!"
"Hmph, the entire penalty is half a year's salary!"
"I am waiting for your order!"
"Song Aiqing, the old minister is here!"
"The troops were divided into two groups. The golden eagle passed the message along the way, and the urgent documents for 800 miles were all sent to Yunzhou Jingguo Gong Yunyang, so that he could rush to Suzhou quickly. Once Wu Guogong was in bad health, he would immediately take over the command of the Northern Expedition Army.
The position of command!”
"I obey the decree!"
"The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War."
"I'm here!"
"The generals will serve as supervisors, and the soldiers will make supervisors. There will be no repair period this year. Three times the salary will be spent day and night to cast artillery shells and quickly transport them to Heshuo and Shuo to deliver them to the hands of the Northern Expedition Army!"
"The Ministry of Accounts, do your best to supply the required silver!"
"The Ministry of War is focusing on training 300,000 new recruits. You all should perform your duties. Don't slack off and waste the opportunity for fighting in the coming year!"
