He is also the most polite person.
I just spoke.
It would have been enough to just let the other party get by, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Of course, Wei Yunyi was very clear that the other party's move had no other meaning, but was simply to adhere to the etiquette of a subject.
Because in the original work, Marquis Shenwu was loyal to the Wei Dynasty. Even when the original owner deprived him of his military power in the later period, he never resisted. He was a truly admirable person.
Without further thought, Wei Yunyi turned around and walked to the main seat and sat down, then said: "Since you are here, but you don't know what the specific matter is. Where is the Ministry of War? Tell me the specific situation."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, Lord Lin from the Ministry of War dared not hide anything and said, "It is just as Your Majesty and everyone else know."
"The military report I received is that the ten major grassland tribes have united and assembled an army of 200,000 to march south and invade the border of our Great Wei."
"Although the General Zhenbei led his troops to meet the attack in time, he was defeated due to insufficient preparation."
"Our army has lost more than 2,000 soldiers and over 300 horses!"
After a pause, he continued, "Fortunately, we have the Zhenbei Pass on our border, which was able to stop the grassland cavalry and prevent further losses. However, the grassland army did not choose to leave, but instead stationed outside the Zhenbei Pass."
"At the same time, they have also split up their forces and are planning to invade from the south. If nothing unexpected happens, the war may still be going on!"
Ten major tribes and an army of two hundred thousand?
When everyone heard this, they all looked serious.
Even Zhang Zhengming frowned, knowing that the situation was urgent.
Because of the great war during the reign of the previous emperor, the grassland tribes had not taken the initiative to move south in large numbers for more than ten years.
However, the northern defense line is too long, and there are only more than 100,000 soldiers stationed at Zhenbei Pass.
This also includes people who escort food and various logistical supplies.
If the 200,000-strong army marched south at all costs.
Even if Zhenbei Pass can be defended.
What about other places?
Once one of the northern border defenses is breached, then...
People don't want to think about it, nor do they dare to think about it.
More importantly, General Zhenbei was defeated in his first battle with Caoyuan.
They also lost more than 2,000 people and hundreds of war horses. This was the biggest defeat the Wei Dynasty had ever suffered in more than ten years.
Of course, some people also thought of another point, that is, this was not the first time that General Zhenbei had failed in defense.
At that moment, almost everyone glanced at Shenwu Hou without leaving any trace.
The General Zhenbei is Concubine Ying’s elder brother and the son of Marquis Shenwu.
Wei Yunyi naturally thought of these things as well.
But he just frowned and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
To be honest, he really wanted to be a tyrant, but he also knew that if he did nothing at this time, it would cause at least tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians to suffer, which would be a disaster for the North.
There are ten major tribes and an army of 200,000. We can't be careless.
Even though Wei Yunyi knew it clearly.
In this way, the fate of the Wei Kingdom will inevitably be ruined, but this is not what he wants to see.
So we must find a solution.
"I believe we need to mobilize a large army to support us." At this time, the Minister of War continued, "Currently, each prefecture in the northern border has a large army stationed there, and they have sufficient food and fodder. If we act quickly, we can gather another 100,000 troops in a short time."
"As long as we can hold off the grassland army for a month, we can mobilize another 200,000 to 300,000 troops from all over the country."
"In this way, the danger in the north can be resolved, but..."
There are more than 100,000 troops stationed at Zhenbei Pass.
Together with the troops assembled from all over the country, the total number was more than 400,000.
Even if the grassland tribe has 200,000 people and they are all good at fighting, it will be difficult to win against the Wei army that is more than twice its size.
Especially these large armies can also defend the long front line of the main northern border, which is the best and safest way.
However, everyone present heard the hidden meaning of the Minister of War's words.
That 'just...'
The General Zhenbei was in charge of guarding the northern border to prevent the grassland tribes from invading from the south.
It was indeed good in the early days, but in recent years, it has been more failures than wins.
In this situation, can we hold out in the North for a month? If not, then this plan is useless.
Wei Yunyi also understood what he meant.
at the same time.
He was also recalling the original work, and it seemed that there was indeed such a plot.
The northern grasslands were invaded, and the General Zhenbei failed to defend effectively, resulting in heavy losses.
However, the original owner's solution was to mobilize the rest of the army to support the north, but he did not withdraw the General Zhenbei, and instead let the other side continue to defend. As for the effect, it was not very good.
The grassland army was almost about to break through Zhenbei Pass, and many soldiers were killed or wounded.
But fortunately, we held on at the last moment.
After that, the merits and demerits of the General Zhenbei were offset.
Afterwards, he stayed in the northern border and no major problems occurred in the later period. In fact, his military ability increased a lot because of this incident.
Although he is still not as good as his father, at least there is no big worry in the North.
Therefore, this is Wei Yunyi’s best choice now.
Just let the other party stay...
only.
After he recalled the loss of soldiers in this great battle, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
If you know that people will die and problems will arise, you will feel really bad if you don't find a solution.
The soldiers of the Great Wei, who have been stationed at the border for many years, also have parents and brothers...
