Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Song Chi said calmly, "Take it slow and steady, be cautious, take each step carefully, and proceed steadily."
He said eight words.
Except for Liang Qingwu, everyone else was full of disdain.
"Haha, you're being too conservative. My Zhendong Army is the number one army in the Great Zhou. My soldiers are already thirsty and thirsty. You're telling me to take it slow and steady? That's a joke!"
Mu Yundi shouted, "In a month at most, I will be able to lead the Zhendong Army to the capital of Northern Wei and capture Emperor Tuoba Hong!"
He kept looking at Liang Qingwu while speaking.
The Northern Palace Army is recognized as the number one army in the Great Zhou. He has never been convinced of this, and this time he wants to prove it.
Song Chi added, "I think Your Highness Xiang Yu should be cautious when attacking. Send a small force first to test the enemy's strength. Don't rush. The Northern Wei is a flat grassland, and cavalry is the main force in combat. Since the Tuoba clan founded the Northern Wei, they have unified the grasslands. We have no idea of their strength..."
"That's enough."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Yundi.
"You may be a good writer, but how can you possibly understand military matters? The Northern Wei is just an uncivilized barbarian nation, yet they're trying to imitate the founding principles of the Great Zhou. How ridiculous!"
Mu Yundi's words were full of contempt for the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Don't talk about military matters anymore." Prince Qing Mu Yunxiu also said something.
Song Chi kept silent and said, "If you want to die, then I won't care."
Emperor Yuan Jing asked him to come to the Ministry of War to prevent the prince's party from hindering his efforts. He didn't need to worry about anything else. He had already said what he needed to say.
"I think what he said makes sense."
Liang Qingwu, who had been calm all along, echoed Song Chi, which shocked the others.
"The Northern Army has been transferred. There's no need for you to speak." King Xiang interrupted directly. "The decision on this war is mine!"
He swept his fierce eyes over the crowd with an arrogant look.
Because the Northern Army withdrew, Emperor Yuan Jing handed over the full authority of the war to King Xiang. The Crown Prince and King Qing would go there as military commanders, and there would be only one commander-in-chief, King Xiang.
From this we can see the intention of Emperor Yuan Jing.
Whenever there is a war, there will be danger. How can the prince, as the crown prince, take risks easily? Emperor Yuan Jing is not worried at all and keeps forcing them, giving the prince and Prince Qing the illusion that they will lose their position as crown prince if they do not go to the front line.
After discussing military affairs, both of them were going there.
This is interesting.
If both of them died on the battlefield, it would be exactly what Emperor Yuan Jing wanted.
Liang Qingwu didn't have a chance to speak either, her face was gloomy with anger. Song Chi kept silent and listened to King Xiang bragging. At first he said that he could capture the Northern Wei capital Shengle in a month, and then he said it would take half a month.
Mu Yunxiu was flattering on the side, and the two of them sang in unison.
Crown Prince Mu Yunyin had a gloomy expression on his face and said nothing. Instead, he kept looking at Song Chi.
King Xiang must not be allowed to win this war, otherwise it will be difficult to end. Song Chi is the key. Even if the commander is Mu Yundi, the Zhifang Division has a lot of power and many things cannot be avoided.
It seems that we have to win over Song Chi. I guess Ningyu has received the letter by now.
The military meeting is over.
That night, Song Chi was intercepted by a young woman on his way home. Her brother was a general named Fang Yue.
Song Chi had heard of this man. The southwest was plagued by serious banditry, and Fang Yue led a hundred people to eliminate it. He had made a great contribution, but was persecuted by villains. Fang Yue was very good at managing the army and training soldiers.
This woman is his younger sister, Fang Qing.
This time he stopped Song Chi in order to seek an opportunity for his brother Fang Yue.
It turned out that since being falsely accused, Fang Yue left the army and spent the whole day at home in depression.
Song Chi agreed and asked Fang Qing to take him home.
Fang Yue was less than forty years old, with a burly figure and a square face. The bandit problem in the southwest was basically a collusion between officials and bandits. He had defeated them and cut off their financial resources, so how could they not punish him?
Song Chi said in a deep voice: "I'll give you a chance. The 100,000 new troops are still short of a few generals. I can make you the commander of 5,000 men!"
"Five thousand generals?"
Fang Yue's eyes widened. He had only led a hundred people at most, and they were local troops, different from the regular army of the imperial court.
Song Chi asked again, "Did anyone who fought with you against the bandits suffer the same fate as you?"
"have!"
Fang Yue said, "My brothers all met the same fate as me."
“Will they listen to you?”
"able."
Song Chi said directly: "You should write down the names of the people who can be used now. I will find a way to put them into the new army. Three days later, when King Xiang goes to war, you will follow him. As long as they are useful, please write down the names of them."
Fang Yue was shocked.
I didn’t understand Song Chi’s intention for a moment. Is there any other surprise like this in the world?
Don't people outside say that the champion has talent but no moral integrity? He is clearly a kind person.
At the urging of his sister Fang Qing, Fang Yue said the names, and Fang Qing wrote them down and made a long list.
Fang Yue stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord. I will live up to your trust and fight bravely on the battlefield."
"I don't need you to kill the enemy."
"So what do I need to do?"
Song Chi said in a deep voice: "I want you to evacuate with those new soldiers when we are defeated. Don't let them die in vain..."
Three days later, King Xiang Mu Yundi went out to fight, and a grand ceremony was held outside the city for this purpose.
Crown Prince Mu Yunyin and Prince of Qing Mu Yunxiu will accompany them as military supervisors.
Emperor Yuan Jing did not show up at such a scene. It was said that his cultivation had reached a critical moment. The Taoist temple would be completed on May 28th. During this period, he had to fast and not go out. He had to welcome the immortal to descend on the right day and make the elixir of immortality for him.
The people gathered outside the city, and there were huge crowds of people.
This may be the last glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There were many people who cursed Song Chi, saying that he was the one who instigated the war, causing many people to starve to death and many men to be forcibly conscripted.
In fact, it has nothing to do with him.
Before he took office as a doctor, the conscription and grain collection had been completed.
His reputation has been ruined.
But it doesn’t matter.
Two days later, the results of the imperial examination were finally announced. All the people Song Chi brought passed, including Gu Ronghua, the young master of the Jiangzhou Gu family.
Suddenly, there were more curses.
This imperial examination, which was obviously rigged, pushed Song Chi's reputation to the forefront.
Liang Qingwu also left at the same time.
This was also facilitated by Song Chi, as she was going to Xin'an to prepare the Northern Army.
Song Chi watched Liang Qingwu and Chen Liangyu leave from the city gate tower.
He really wanted to reminisce about the past with Chen Liangyu, but she hadn't said a word since she came back.
Shen Liangyu must be very sad.
We will have the chance to meet again, and then you will know my intentions and what I want to do.
He watched the two walk away.
At this moment, a voice sounded in my ear, "What? Master Song, are you reluctant to part with your woman?"
Song Chi turned around and saw a delicate face, long and slender eyebrows, picturesque features, and a bit of charm.
After the examination, this girl was seen outside the Taichang Temple. Her name was Lin Tianjiao. Her father was Lin Wu, the commander of the Annan Army. She was also Song Ming's fiancée.
