After saying this, the general took out a booklet from his arms.
The content inside is the detailed information about recruiting war horses and soldiers.
"Oh? The progress is quite fast." Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanchuan put down the document in his hand and took the booklet to check it.
Sure enough, the above records were very clear, and all aspects had been prepared, and were more complete than originally planned.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to move? I've heard that the imperial court is aware of our recruitment efforts. If we move out now, it will surely alert the court. What if His Majesty becomes enraged? What will we do then?"
At this time, the general hesitated for a moment, but still spoke with a worried look on his face.
It should be noted that the matter of a vassal king recruiting soldiers and horses within his fiefdom is a very sensitive matter.
What's more, the officials in Yan have also submitted memorials to the court.
Judging from the time, it has probably been delivered to His Majesty.
So he was very worried.
What if His Majesty gets angry and punishes me directly? I can't bear it.
"If you know, then know. It's fine." But Wei Yuanchuan shook his head and said, "As a vassal king, I have the power to control my private soldiers within my fiefdom. Besides, what I did was not for any other reason but to support the old marquis of Zhenbei Pass. It's for the country and the people of Wei. If those officials have any objections, then let them have theirs. I don't care."
After saying that, he continued to look at the booklet in his hand, wondering if there was anything that needed to be supplemented.
That’s right, Wei Yuanchuan summoned 50,000 soldiers and 30,000 war horses.
I just want to support the battle at Zhenbei Pass.
Now everyone knows.
There will inevitably be a war between the imperial court and the grassland tribes; it is just a matter of when it will start.
It should be noted that the two groups are real enemies, and can be said to be sworn enemies.
For the Wei Dynasty, facing the southward invasion of the grassland army, it had to keep them out at all costs, otherwise countless people would suffer. This has been described very clearly in history books, and some people have even experienced it in reality.
Therefore, in this situation, everyone in the Wei Dynasty must shoulder the responsibility of fighting for the country.
Wei Yuanchuan understood, so after learning the news, he began to use the power in his hands to do something.
Even though we have only recruited 50,000 soldiers and 30,000 horses, this force cannot be ignored.
The generals and soldiers are all from Yan. They can all fight on horseback. They are very strong and not much worse than the people from the grassland.
And those war horses were all raised in Yan.
The war horses of the Yan region were world-renowned, surpassing those of the grasslands in both speed and endurance. Emperor Taizu Gao, thanks to the support of the Yan region, relied on his powerful cavalry to accomplish his great cause.
Even now, the most elite cavalry and war horses of the Wei Dynasty come from Yan.
It’s a pity that the relationship between Yan and the imperial court was not very good, so there were not many horses offered as tribute. Therefore, these 30,000 war horses were extremely rare for Zhenbei Pass.
Wei Yuanchuan had always disliked the grassland tribes, believing that their existence would threaten the country and its people.
So even though he had a grudge against Wei Yunyi at the beginning, he always had an idea in his mind that if he had the chance in this life, he would definitely pacify the eighteen tribes on the grassland. It was a pity that he didn't have the chance.
The situation in Zhenbei Pass is serious now. Although I cannot participate in it, if I can do something, I must do it!
The general below, upon hearing this, said, "Of course I know Your Highness is doing this for the sake of the country, but if you choose to support the old Marquis, will it arouse His Majesty's suspicion? After all, the old Marquis is in charge of the entire northern border's military."
"If you support the old marquis at this time, the court officials will probably use this as an excuse to make a fuss. Even if you have no other intentions, you will still be framed."
This general had followed the King of Yan since he was a child and was a native of Yan, so he was naturally loyal.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would definitely not say so much.
In case someone notices.
He was afraid that he himself was in danger.
Only true confidants will keep reminding you.
Wei Yuanchuan understood what the other party meant, so he just smiled and said, "When the emperor was implementing the reform, he was opposed by almost all the censors in the court. But did the emperor back down? No, not only did he not back down, he resolutely carried it out. In the end, those officials had nothing to say."
"If I choose not to devote myself wholeheartedly to the country and the people because I am afraid of being reported by the censors, then I would be unworthy of being the descendant of the late emperor."
Having said this, he looked serious and continued, "Alright, this king has made the decision. Follow the order and send these people to the northern border to be under the command of the old marquis!"
Below, the general heard this without saying anything else. He immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes!"
He knew very well that the prince had already made the decision and he had said everything he needed to say.
Now, all we can do is follow orders.
So go down immediately and carry out the order.
As for Wei Yuanchuan, he didn't say much. He knew that doing so was very risky and would arouse suspicion among the ministers in the court, and they might even directly accuse him of rebellion. But in his heart, he knew that he had to do so.
The situation at Zhenbei Pass is grim. The ten Khans of the grassland have gathered, and there are rumors that they will continue to mobilize troops.
He knew that he had to do something no matter what.
The reason why he did not submit a memorial to the court.
