The real challenge will come when the immortal comes to the world. I don’t know if I can withstand it then.
Time passed by little by little, and soon, after a few days, battle reports came from the northern front.
For unknown reasons, the grassland army had once again assembled. While not all eighteen tribes, nine had joined forces, totaling nearly 300,000 troops. The nine tribes that had previously pledged not to march south for the next ten years did not participate.
But this time, they are led by the strongest of the eighteen Tianlang tribes, and their momentum is very huge.
In response, Wei Yunyi immediately summoned the court officials and began to discuss the matter.
He knew that Bai Yujing had already taken action.
Otherwise, the grassland tribes would never choose to take action when the Wei Dynasty was at its strongest.
Only the people of Baiyujing encouraged the Tianlang tribe to gather the grassland army and march south.
The young uncle of the emperor, Song Hongzhi, also came and asked to go into battle.
This was also agreed by most of the court officials, including Zhang Zhengming. The Marquis of Shenwu was still on his way back to his army, so it would take some time for him to return. Moreover, even if the decree was issued at this time,
It would take an unknown amount of time to travel from the western border to the northern border. In the capital, only the Marquis of Guanjun can take on this important task.
After all, this time they are facing the most powerful opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The grassland army is not like those small countries around it and should not be underestimated.
An ordinary general is simply not qualified to be a head coach.
But for this.
Wei Yunyi chose to refuse directly.
His brother-in-law was regarded by him as one of his trump cards and the best person to quell possible unrest in various places after the immortal came to the world.
If they were sent directly to the northern border at this time, what would happen then? The Marquis of Shenwu needed to command the overall situation and was the commander-in-chief, so he could not be moved lightly. Therefore, the other party had to stay in the capital no matter what.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, he directly issued an order to appoint the King of Yan as the commander-in-chief of the army fighting against the grassland!
The King of Yan was appointed the General of the Northern Expedition, temporarily in charge of all military and political affairs in the north.
As soon as this decision came out.
Almost everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Because no one would have thought that Your Majesty would actually let the Prince of Yan lead the army.
How many troops are there in the entire northern border? If you add them all up, there are almost 400,000 of them, and they are all the elite of Wei.
Nearly half of the nation's power was concentrated in the northern border. Initially, some ministers had objections to the decision to let the Marquis of Divine Martial take the helm. After all, the power was too great, and any dissent from anyone would be fatal to the court.
As for the Prince of Yan, he was a little restless when he was in the capital, although he became much more honest after becoming a fiefdom.
He had previously sent those who instigated his rebellion to the capital to demonstrate his loyalty to the court.
But for those ministers, Prince Yan was still the biggest threat to the throne.
Even Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but object.
He knew that the Prince of Yan might not have any intention of rebelling, but His Majesty's move had given him the power to rebel, which was indeed...
"Stop talking." In the court, Wei Yunyi stood up from the dragon throne and spoke directly: "The Prince of Yan, the son of the late emperor, my brother, and a member of the royal family, is obligated to defend the territory of the Great Wei. My decision is made!"
The King of Yan had great military talent, but he had always understood that only the other party could truly mobilize the power of Yan.
If the Prince of Yan were appointed as the General of the Northern Expedition, at least the imperial court would not have to worry about food and supplies and the rear.
Yan can solve it on its own.
therefore.
This is the best option.
The northern defense line had already been arranged by the Marquis of Shenwu. It was actually enough to send a general to stabilize it and prevent internal threats!
Below, the ministers had nothing to say, and no one stood up to object, because many people thought that it seemed that His Majesty had never made a wrong decision since he ascended the throne.
Therefore, everyone bowed at this moment and said in unison: "We understand!"
Soon, after discussing a few more issues, the court meeting ended.
The news that Wei Yunyi had appointed the King of Yan as the General of the Northern Expedition was immediately sent to Yan.
A few days later, the King of Yan received the news. He could no longer suppress his excitement and bowed towards the capital.
He had been paying close attention to the situation since the grassland army moved south, but he knew in his heart that he was a vassal king.
Even in the face of foreign invasion, it was difficult to do anything. The only thing they could do was to cooperate with the court to ensure the rear.
After all, there are still many military generals in the court, such as the Marquis of Shenwu and the Marquis of Guanjun.
It’s never my turn.
The identity is too sensitive.
But after hearing this news, King Yan was so excited that he could hardly express himself.
His lifelong hope is to serve the country and guard the national border. Now, he finally has an opportunity, and he naturally has to seize it.
In fact, Prince Yan knew in his heart that there were still many people in the court who did not trust him, but it didn’t matter. This time, he wanted to prove to everyone that he was the son of the previous emperor, a member of the royal family, and he wanted to serve the country.
So on the day he received the news, King Yan began to organize troops and mobilize food and supplies.
For a long time, many measures taken by the imperial court had little to do with Yan.
And now, he can make use of the accumulation of Yan.
Win this battle for Wei!
A few days later.
After all preparations were completed, the King of Yan used all kinds of methods in Yan and temporarily assembled an army of about 50,000.
There was no way. He was a vassal king and could not have any other private soldiers except those stipulated by the ancestral system. It was already quite difficult for him to gather 50,000 people.
