The minister who did not want to fight also had a point, and said without showing any weakness: "How much money do they rob every year? If the army moves, it will be at least millions of taels of silver.
Where will all this money come from? Won't it just end up increasing taxes on the people?
Dayuan should now recuperate and accumulate strength.
When we are absolutely sure, we will send our troops and defeat the barbarians in one fell swoop."
"I don't agree with this. The Dayuan Dynasty will never allow itself to be bullied!
Who knows how many people will be harmed and killed under the iron hoofs of the barbarian army.
How can we ignore the lives of the people just to save money?"
"I have a suggestion. The last time the barbarians invaded, General Qin Qingxue led his troops to defeat them.
It would be better to let her continue to lead the troops and fight to repel the enemy!"
"This is a good idea. General Qin has extensive experience in dealing with barbarian armies, and with her on the scene, it will definitely work!
Moreover, we have built a highway leading to the border, making it much easier to transport food and fodder. In fact, the cost of fighting a war is much less than before."
Xuantian simply scoffed at these suggestions.
Xuantian knew very well how Qin Qingxue won the battle last time.
It all depends on Ye to manage it behind the scenes.
If it happens again, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out.
Of course, Prime Minister Shangguan Qi was well aware of the real situation.
He said, “General Qin and Young Master Wushuang are also at the border, and it is said that they went there with the Third Prince.
If we recall it, it might be too late!"
The Crown Prince knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately said: "Since that's the case, Father, why don't you just appoint Qin Qingxue as the Marshal and Wushuang as the Deputy Marshal.
Let them command the border garrisons and defeat the barbarian armies."
He was responsible for arranging the food and fodder for the Third Prince.
Once a war breaks out, money will flow out like water.
It was easy for him to cut out some points from it.
Moreover, he was the one who won the battle and gained the reward.
“Although the Third Prince understands military tactics, he has no experience in actual combat.
The person recommended by the old minister will definitely be qualified for the job.
The Sixth Prince Ye had gone on many expeditions and had never been defeated.
With a powerful general like Zhao Wudi by his side, the chances of victory will be much higher if he leads the army against the barbarians."
King Bingxiang was also very worried that the military power would be controlled by others, so he quickly submitted a memorial.
In fact, Xuantian still highly recognized Ye's abilities.
He knew very well what the Third Prince had done at the border.
Not only does he not work hard to improve himself, he is even suspected of smuggling goods.
Relying on the geographical advantage of Jialing Pass, they smuggled a large amount of contraband to the barbarians.
Xuantian already has a lot of evidence.
I just haven't had time to deal with him yet.
There is absolutely no way he could control the army.
Not to mention that Wushuang is also involved in this, how can we let the military power be interfered with by Yunlu Pavilion?
But at the same time, would it be dangerous if Ye had too much military power?
Xuantian was a little hesitant.
There were so many civil and military officials in the court that they could not find a few people they could truly trust to be marshals.
There are many loyal and trustworthy people, but no one is sure that they can defeat the barbarian army.
In the court, no one was willing to give in and the argument continued.
Just as Xuantian was about to lose his temper, someone outside suddenly shouted that the border was eight hundred miles away and there was an emergency.
Everyone was shocked.
Coming to report again so soon, it must not be some trick.
"Present it immediately!"
Xuantian had no expression on his face.
Even if others are panicking, you must remain calm.
"Your Highness, a great victory at the border! The Sixth Prince has killed over 130,000 enemy soldiers and captured over 100,000 war horses.
Now he is leading his army to encircle and suppress other barbarian armies..."
After hearing the report, the chief eunuch quickly ran down and handed the memorial to Xuantian.
The entire court fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Everyone knows that the Sixth Prince does not have many troops under his command.
He also needs to protect millions of civilians. How can he fight against the barbarian army?
Many people think that this news must be false.
It is possible that he fabricated his military achievements and deceived the court, which is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
Even a prince cannot escape punishment.
While Xuantian was reading the memorial, they began to whisper to each other.
"Would the Sixth Prince really send such an outrageous memorial? How could he possibly claim to have killed 130,000 enemy soldiers?"
"I think he's just bragging! He started to get cocky after winning a battle in the past.
In order to obtain a reward, he began to tell lies and falsely report his military achievements.
Do you think the imperial court is so foolish?"
"The imperial court should immediately send a Qing Dynasty official to investigate and severely punish the Sixth Prince for falsely reporting his military achievements."
King Bing Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? When did His Highness the Sixth Prince lie about military intelligence?"
What is your intention in suspecting the Sixth Prince in front of His Majesty without any evidence?"
"Don't think that just because Princess Ruyue is close to His Highness the Sixth Prince, King Bingjian can protect him at will.
Everyone knows that killing 130,000 enemies is impossible."
The King of Side by Side smiled coldly: "Don't assume that others can't do what you can't do.
Others dare not say it, but I absolutely believe that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince would not talk nonsense, and it is even more impossible for him to lie about military intelligence to deceive Your Majesty.
Please, Your Majesty, send an imperial envoy to investigate immediately and give the Sixth Prince justice."
Although King Bing Xiang also felt it was very unbelievable, he absolutely believed in Ye's character.
Not to mention that her daughter is with Xiaoye, there is no way she would let him do whatever he wants.
What's more, such a serious matter can be easily investigated, and there is no point in telling such a lie.
Although he defended Ye, he couldn't wait to go to the border.
It's so satisfying to know how this battle was fought.
This battle will definitely go down in history and be remembered forever.
At the same time, King Bingxiang was very proud, because this was his son-in-law.
Xuantian also thought it made sense.
Although he felt that this battle was fought in an incredible way, the memorials from Ye and Zhao Wudi were delivered together.
And Zhao Wudi also sent tons of discounts.
After carefully checking the fire seal, it can be confirmed that no one has opened it to read it.
Zhao Wudi wrote about some of the battle process, mainly using crossbows and various means to lure the enemy into the camp and first consume their manpower.
Then they attacked from both sides, taking advantage of the enemy's abandonment of their horses to launch a sudden attack from the rear and seize the horses in one fell swoop.
More than 100,000 enemy troops were unable to escape and were all annihilated.
After reading the secret memorial, Xuantian breathed a sigh of relief.
"I believe that Ye will not lie. Wrinkles said that many barbarian troops were looting the people in different places, and I requested that troops be sent to protect them.
I have decided to send troops there, primarily to protect the civilians and to seek opportunities to defeat the barbarian army."
Xuantian no longer hesitated. The situation was now very serious, with only tens of thousands of barbarian troops in the territory.
Moreover, they had already been completely divided into pieces and looted everywhere, and they had no idea about the defeat in the rear.
If you don’t take action now, when will you take action?
