503. Chapter 499: Without Wei Zhao, how can the country be saved?

Chapter 499 Without Wei Zhao, will the country be in danger?

In the Jinluan Palace, all officials stood in awe, and the air was as stagnant as iron.

The Minister of War was the first to step out: "Liang Yue has invaded many times, and his ambition is obvious. He must be killed!"

The Loyal and Brave Marquis sneered.

"It's so easy for you to talk, just move your lips?"

"Who should be sent? How to kill him? Do you understand combat strategies? You sit in this position, you can't think you are a military general just because you have a military department. You are a civil servant! You have never led troops to fight a war, what do you know?"

"I said Wei boy, who has fought the most with Liang Yue in the Jin Dynasty, no one can refute it? He is like this now? Can you let him go?"

The Minister of War choked. He

was very unhappy to be humiliated by the Loyal and Brave Marquis.

He straightened his back: "My Great Jin is full of talents, how can we not find military generals to go to the border?"

"So don't pretend to know something you don't know."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis thought he was an eyesore, so he moved aside and saluted to Emperor Ying Qian who was sitting on the dragon throne with a sullen look on his face.

"There is the threat of the Wei army ahead, and Liang Yue can only be taught a lesson by the Great Jin and cede land and pay compensation. But now they are coming with such a fierce force, it is clear that they have calculated that the Wei kid is in poor health and cannot go to the border, so they have the courage to do so!"

Calculated...

Emperor Ying Qian held the handle of the dragon throne tightly, and veins popped out.

"The people on the border must be defended, and the defense line must not be broken. I think this battle must be fought and must be won."

"Many neighboring countries are watching the fire from the other side of the river. If Liang Yue captures the border, how can we know that they will not take action to get a share of the spoils?"

The officials present nodded one after another.

How can the selection be vague?

But...

Now the flood is serious, and half of the military generals in the court are leading people to disaster relief.

Lord Yao, the Minister of Justice, stepped forward and said, "I recommend General Zhao Mao."

"The Zhao family's military camp can rush to the border to provide support in three days. Zhao Mao is prudent and has good combat experience over the years."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis sneered, "Does Lord Yao have any selfish motives? Zhao Mao is your nephew. It's okay for you to promote him, but how dare you make a border battle a gamble?"

"If Liang Yue invades, the next target will be the four cities closest to the border, which will surely cause great suffering to the people."

"Now the four cities are seriously flooded, which is an internal worry. What if there is an external threat?"

He wanted to say ten words to refute what others said.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis snorted.

"Don't think I'm being harsh. With Wei kid here, he leads the army in difficult battles."

"I don't know whether your nephew is prudent or not, but he has been in danger several times when fighting simple battles."

Minister Yao's face turned red.

The new Shangshu Ling Zhu Wei saluted: "Your Majesty. I think that Deputy General Chi Yu has followed General Wei for many years and is most familiar with the terrain of Liangyue and the border. It is better to send him."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis continued to refute: "Chi Yu? That kid is not bad. But the Wei family army is scattered everywhere. Even if we intend to gather them, it will take time."

"Besides, Chi Yu has already gone to the disaster area for disaster relief."

Emperor Ying Qian's eyes turned cold.

He didn't think that the Wei family army was really disbanded.

After all, this was the trump card in Wei Zhao's hand.

The trump card that made him afraid.

Wei Zhao hated him, so how could he...

Shangshu Yao: "Then let Chi Yu lead the soldiers from other camps."

He glanced at the Loyal and Brave Marquis.

Doesn't this old thing have military power in his hands?

He hasn't handed it over for all these years.

"No."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery: "If a general is not familiar with his soldiers and has no tacit understanding, it is the most taboo on the battlefield."

"The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!"

Minister Yao said coldly: "This is not okay, that is not okay, can't our great country even find a capable general?"

Without Wei Zhao, can the Jin Dynasty be in danger?

When Wei Zhao and Liang Yue fought before, it didn't seem that difficult!

"Are you just waiting for Liang Yue to break in?"

"What are you yelling at me?"

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery shouted even louder: "I was brought up by General Jingyuan. I have never lacked a horse's hide to die, and I have never lacked the triumphal drum. Even at my age, I dare to fight."

"If it weren't for the Hu people's scimitar that broke two of my ribs ten years ago. Whenever it rained, the arrows left rust in my lungs and I coughed up blood. I couldn't even ride a horse!"

"If I could go to the front line, would you have the right to jump in front of me?"

After all, he was a military general, and his cold light was intimidating.

Minister Yao was so scared that he took two steps back and stopped talking.

The gilded incense burner was swept down the steps by Emperor Ying Qian, breaking up the argument.

"What are you arguing about?"

Emperor Ying Qian's figure was as cold as a weapon .

"The border is in flames, and the people are in dire straits!"

He stood up coldly and flicked his sleeves.

"Anyone who dares to make noise again will be dragged out and beaten with thirty sticks!"

The important ministers were silent, and no one dared to say a word.

Emperor Ying Qian swept his eyes.

"Fu Ju, what do you think?"

Gu Fu Ju, who had been silent, stepped forward.

His voice rang in the hall.

"I think the border is the most important line of defense of the Great Jin Dynasty and must not be broken. The people have too many disputes about the court recently, and natural disasters have caused panic. Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it, which needs to be appeased."

"Why not send three generals, Zhao Mao, Dong Chu, and Liu Chen, to go together."

This...

Zhao Mao is cautious and good at defense, Dong Chu is aggressive and good at attack, and Liu Chen has been instructed by Wei Zhao.

"This...is not appropriate. The three generals are bound to have disagreements on the battle."

Gu Fuju: "Send the order quickly, order Chi Yu to go to the border, and all the generals will listen to his command."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"How can other generals listen to the command of the deputy general in the Wei family army? Will they be convinced?"

The loyal and brave marquis rolled his eyes.

Chi Yu has rich combat experience and was brought up by Wei Zhao.

If Wei Zhao is not there, he can lead the Wei family army to fight steadily and will not make mistakes. If they really want to compete, I'm afraid that the three combined are not his opponents.

Those people, with the reputation of a general, really think they are on top of the world.

Gu Fuju did not look at the expressions of these people, and talked to himself.

"Chi Yu is familiar with Liangyue and the border terrain. Apart from Wei Zhao, he is the most suitable candidate."

"He will not make mistakes as a counselor."

"As for whether they are convinced or not..."

"Why not send someone else from the court to go together. It can make the three generals obey orders together and help Chi Yu stabilize the situation."

After he finished speaking, he returned to his previous position and stopped talking.

The opinions have been raised, but as for who to send, it is up to Emperor Ying Qian.

This person must be highly respected.

He must also be of noble status.

The matter of appeasing the people cannot be delayed.

What the Grand Tutor said is the best way.

But this candidate... Many court officials secretly looked at the three princes.

The second prince has a lame leg, but he does not need to go to the battlefield, so he can go.

The fifth prince has high prestige and can go.

Except for the useless fourth prince who can't even fart. Ying Zhi and Ying Yin are both the best candidates.

How could Emperor Ying Qian not know this?

He closed his eyes.

"All retreat."

"Yes."

Emperor Ying Qian: "Second brother, fifth brother stay."

All officials retreated. Ying

Cheng slipped away the fastest. Minister

Yao shook his head disdainfully when he saw this.

Zhu Wei walked to Gu Fuju's side and walked side by side with him.

"Grand Tutor, who do you think the emperor will order to go this time?"

Gu Fuju remained calm and just stroked his official robe.

"The emperor's mind is not something you and I can guess."
