Just like when he first entered the Imperial Camp, he dared to challenge Lin Chong directly.
Now Gaoyang State is asking Wei State to pay money.
To put it bluntly, it's a provocation.
How can I tolerate this!
"So you know why I want you to go, right?" Wei Yunyi said with a smile, "You are the uncle of the current emperor and the son of a cabinet minister. Now that foreign nations are bullying our great Wei, this battle concerns the dignity of our country, so you must go!"
He has figured out his brother-in-law's temper. He is soft-spoken and does not respond to harsh words. If he speaks in a pleasant way, he will definitely be able to motivate the other party.
Because Wei Yunyi knew very well that although the battle with Gaoyang Kingdom was not a cause for concern, it still needed to be taken seriously.
Since you want to use your brother-in-law, you should say more good things about him.
And it is justified by national dignity.
You can also let the other party know.
This battle is very important!
"Emperor brother-in-law, I know everything even if you don't tell me!"
As expected, Song Hongzhi was no longer as disinterested as before and continued, "If Gaoyang dares to humiliate the Great Wei, they will die. As for Liaodong, I'm sure my uncle will show them the wrath of the Great Wei!"
His words were not only confident but also powerful, and his words were full of dominance.
But when Wei Yunyi heard these words, he twitched his lips.
Look at what my brother-in-law said.
Without further ado, he continued, "But you also know that most of the Liaodong garrison is needed to assist the northern border in defending the grassland tribes. The number of people assigned to you will probably not exceed 50,000. Therefore, you don't need to achieve great results in this battle, just hurt them."
According to Wei Yunyi's plan, his brother-in-law had no knowledge of military affairs, and if he were in the northern border, he would suffer a great loss.
But the Gaoyang army was not strong to begin with, and could not even deal with some pirates.
He is the best opponent for a novice brother-in-law.
Because he had expected it.
Gaoyang State certainly did not dare to launch a large-scale attack. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and they were afraid of starting a fight that could not be quelled.
Of course, to prevent accidents.
Wei Yunyi will also be equipped with several good deputy generals.
In this way, the battle can be dragged into a stage of mutual tug-of-war and testing.
His plan to ruin his luck would surely succeed.
And the longer the time, the faster the luck will weaken.
maybe.
It can also offset all the good luck brought by the land tax at one time.
After all, military matters have a greater impact on a country than any other aspect.
"Is it that simple?" Song Hongzhi frowned upon hearing this and said, "I wanted to go straight to the capital of Gaoyang."
Wei Yunyi: “….”
Song Youwei: “….”
"Okay, okay, little uncle, as long as we can win and teach Gao Yang a lesson, you can fight however you want." Finally, Wei Yunyi really had no choice but to speak directly.
He knew very well that it would be useless to talk to a man like his brother-in-law who was a bit of a fool.
It’s better to just follow what the other person says.
What else can we do?
Who knows what shocking words the other party will say next time.
Moreover, Wei Yunyi was not worried about this. After all, he only had 50,000 troops on his side.
No matter how much you play, I believe you won’t be able to come up with any new ideas.
"I feel relieved when my brother-in-law, the emperor, says this!" Upon hearing this, the young uncle became very proud.
"Alright, alright." Wei Yunyi ignored the other party's words and said directly: "Song Hongzhi, today I appoint you as the commander of Liaozhen, leading 50,000 troops in Liaodong and garrisoning Liaozhen. You can take full charge of the battle against Gaoyang!"
Liaodong is a vast area with several prefectures, and Liaozhen is located at the easternmost part of Liaodong, further out to Gaoyang State.
As for the position of commander, it is neither big nor small.
In addition, he controls 50,000 soldiers and horses, so he can be called a general.
"Your humble servant obeys the order!"
After hearing this, Song Hongzhi immediately knelt on one knee.
But soon, he raised his head and couldn't help asking: "Then my royal brother and brother-in-law, when should I leave?"
"You are now the Commander-in-Chief of Liaozhen and a general. It is up to you to decide when to set out." Wei Yunyi smiled and said, "I have already clearly instructed the cabinet to declare war on Gaoyang. According to the timetable, King Li of Gaoyang will receive the news in half a month."
A major war usually takes time to prepare. It is said that Gaoyang Kingdom will receive the news in half a month.
But it will probably take a month before the war can actually begin.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as the army moves, money will flow in like a torrent, which will definitely ruin your luck.
And more importantly, Wei Yunyi has made preparations for the country's fortune to continue to grow this month.
When the war in the north started, the national treasury kept paying out money, and my brother-in-law started another war.
It's hard not to weaken your luck.
"good!"
Song Hongzhi stood up and said, "Then I will leave the palace and go home first, and then leave tonight."
Are you in such a hurry?
It seems that my brother-in-law is really frustrated.
Wei Yunyi smiled and immediately ordered Wang Jin to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He then said, "If you want to be the commander of Liaozhen, it will definitely not work for you. I will write you another handwritten letter, and I will also have someone prepare the paperwork for the Ministry of War."
The military system and the civil service system of the Wei Dynasty were different. When a civil servant took office, as long as the official position was not high, he only needed to be a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel.
Military generals can be appointed, especially at the level of commander, but having documents from the Ministry of War is not enough.
There must be an emperor's handwritten order, otherwise it will be just waste paper.
Just like the Marquis of Shenwu.
