Chapter 1617: Expedition
"This, this can be posted in all the major counties." The chief assistant said after holding back for a long time.
"Okay." The emperor saw that the chief minister's words were insincere and nodded.
The emperor did not realize one thing: he himself was schizophrenic.
On the one hand, we must guard against martial arts masters, and on the other hand, we hope that the other party will bring their own dry food to fight against the Tatars.
You really think I'm stupid.
In reality, a fool cannot practice advanced martial arts, and Shi Potian can only exist in novels.
"Your Majesty, we can post a list online and publish a newspaper to expose the brutality of the Tatars. I believe that aspiring knights will be filled with righteous indignation and take the initiative to fight against the Tatars." The Minister of Rites made a reliable suggestion.
He hates Tatars. After all, they want to shave their heads and cut their hair.
"Yes, what Yan Shangshu said makes sense. Your Ministry of Rites will handle this matter." The emperor praised.
"Your Majesty, we can take out the precious thousand-year-old medicinal materials in the inner treasury. I think there will be experts coming." Shangshu said suddenly.
"This..." The emperor suddenly felt reluctant.
Thousand-year-old medicinal materials are available in the inner treasury, but they are only used in critical moments, such as when the capital is attacked by troops and a master is invited to lead the royal family to escape.
Innate masters come and go, and can easily break through the blockade of the army.
"Your Majesty, the strength of a country lies not in danger but in virtue; although the medicinal materials are good, the people's hearts are more important." Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue urged.
Fuck you!
The emperor cursed loudly in his heart.
When he was still the crown prince, he was deceived by this group of concubines as to which virtue was the most important.
Later he realized that money is the most important!
As long as you can get money, there will be people who will follow you even if you are immoral.
Why do the Tatars beat more and more people? Isn’t it because they can get money?
What virtue do they have?
They were kidnapped, burned and killed, but many people followed them.
Virtue is used to restrain the king and prevent him from abusing flowers.
The key is that he has never done this before, and he has to be restrained by these guys.
The emperor's grandfather is still strong. He never cares about face, as long as he gets money.
The inner guards are running rampant everywhere, and when they see good things from the ministers' houses, they are transported to the inner treasury... Although they have been scolded to this day, they have won several battles.
He just couldn't help but do it like this.
"The inner treasury has been clean for a long time, and the thousand-year-old medicinal materials are even more nonsense. A true knight should be virtuous. How could he take action because of mere medicinal materials?" the emperor asked.
The ministers were speechless.
It seems that the emperor is not easy to fool.
I really miss the time when there was no Xiawang.
At that time, the eunuch said that an egg cost one penny.
I remember once the chief minister let slip that he ate three eggs in the morning, and the emperor said you had such a good breakfast?
He quickly said that he was eating old eggs.
Anyway, the emperor was fooled.
The Chief Assistant does not dare to touch this big thunder in the inner prison. If it explodes, many people will die.
Now, who dares to say this and try it?
As soon as Xiawang came out, the emperor changed three waves of people in the inner court.
"How to mobilize troops?" The emperor waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, the general soldiers who are besieging the rogue bandits can be mobilized to come to the rescue. They have soldiers in their hands who can deal with the Donglu." The Minister of War said.
"No, if this happens, won't those bandits resurgence?" The emperor still knew it.
Now the rogue bandits are almost under control.
They could not break through to the south. The sudden appearance of the Heavenly Holy Army cut off their way.
It is taboo to enter other people's territory, especially the territory of the Demon Cult.
There is no food in the west, so we can only wander in the Central Plains.
The Central Plains is almost broken and the war is almost over.
It is most convenient to mobilize troops from the Central Plains, which is only a few hundred miles away.
"Your Majesty, the stray thieves are just ringworm, but Donglu is like a knife. We can endure the temporary itch, but we cannot be hurt by a knife." The Minister of War shook his head. "That's not right. The rogue thieves are a nuisance, but the Donglu just grabbed a handful and left. As long as we stick to the capital, they will leave sooner or later." The first assistant put forward a different opinion at this time.
The emperor was moved.
Yes, if we send martial arts masters to delay the Donglu, and then continue to encircle and suppress the bandits, we may be able to put down the rebellion within a year or two.
"What should we do with the people around the capital?" He asked another question.
"Alas, now that things have come to this, we can only suffer for the people one more time. I hope the people can understand the difficulties of the court." The chief minister said with compassion.
…………
Tiansheng Army, Wuguan County.
The news that the Donglu invaded quickly reached here.
After all, this is the era of the Divine Network.
"Donglu? I heard that they burned, killed, and took prisoners, and they did all kinds of evil."
"Fortunately, they couldn't attack us."
"Yes, we are far away from here, so the people in the north are unlucky. How pitiful."
At this time, Zhao Han also saw the news, and she immediately bit Wen Rensheng The trouser legs are not loosened.
Now that she has learned this trick, she can give full play to her advantages as a dog without saying anything.
“You want to save them?”
“Woo hoo.” The purple-flowered dog nodded wildly.
"Am I such a cold-blooded person in your eyes? You still want to ask for help. I'm ready to bring five innate masters to deal with the Donglu people." Wen Rensheng shook his head.
"Huh? I thought you regarded everyone here as script NPC." Zhao Han said angrily.
"You are saying something incomprehensible again. It seems that I need to clear your head." Wen Rensheng touched its head.
Zhao Han ran away quickly.
She saw the fate of those palace masters - they completely turned into children who did what others said.
Wen Rensheng smiled, he didn't just say it casually, he quickly took the people off.
He wants to build his reputation.
Having extraordinary personal force is convenient. It can project power remotely and requires too little logistics.
Bring the elixirs and dry food, ride three horses, and bring the armor for the field, and you can reach the battlefield a thousand or two thousand miles away within three days.
Traveling eight hundred miles in one day, this speed cannot be said to be slow on a modern battlefield, but the speed of a blitzkrieg.
Soon a group of six people arrived at Tonghui City in the north.
Before this place was besieged by Shi Baizhang and returned unscathed, but the surrounding area was ravaged.
Now the Tatars are here again.
This time, the meridians in the city sat quietly in the city, as if there were no Tatars under the city.
Actually Taozi is cleaning up everywhere.
But they were disappointed because after being threatened by thieves, there were not many fat sheep left to mop up.
There are only those big Zhuangzi, and these big Zhuangzi were built outside by the city sects.
Responsible for growing food and medicine, the latter is the main one, used to replenish qi and blood for the masters of the sect.
The one who leads the way is Hadou, the leader of the seventh department.
He kept in mind the strategies he read online - always be careful and accumulate strength.
He was a weakling with Trutu Khan, but in front of the unarmed people of Dayan, he was an out-and-out bandit and barbarian.
I still grabbed a lot of gold, silver, treasures, women's cloth and silk.
"Tonghuijian City, we don't have to fight. Don't go around the city. Anyway, these Great Yan people don't dare to attack." Hadu ordered his men.
"There are experts among them. What if they want to cut off our retreat and set fire to the baggage train we are dragging behind?" His youngest son, who was going into battle for the first time, asked a little confused.
It is said in military books that logistics is the most important, and the city cannot be bypassed unless it is absolutely necessary, because the enemy will cut off the retreat.
"Fool, we make a living by plundering. The food and grass are taken from the front instead of transported from the back. This is the biggest difference." Hadu's eldest son laughed at his brother.
"Yes, what Chidu said is that your military book is good, but it is a regular battle, but we rely on war to support war." Hadu taught his sons.
