Before dawn, it was pitch black outside Youjing City. An emergency sound of slapping the door woke up the city gate officer at the north gate of Youjing.

More than a dozen riders under the city gate raised torches. After checking the tokens sent by the other party from the hanging basket, the city gate officer immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and allowed to pass.

Then on the palace road in front of Linshuo Palace, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the husband drove by quickly in the carriage.

Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu, Wang Mahan, Xue Wanche and others were all awakened by the inner court guards who were photographed in the middle of the night. After hearing that the military information of the Ruoshui Prefecture Protectorate was in Ruoshui Province, they came to Linshuo Palace to pay homage to Li Chongjiu.

Inside the bedroom, the lights are brightly lit.

Li Chongjiu rubbed his eyes and had not been asleep for a long time. Seeing the five people coming, he threw the official documents directly to them and said, "What do you think?"

Wen Yanbo took the official document and read it at the first glance. He thought about his words and said, "I am not good at military affairs, but in the eyes of me, is the Protector a little anxious? Without His Majesty's permission, he is so anxious to send troops, or mobilize Huaihuang and all the troops in the Yuyi Town to quell the rebellion. What if this is the trap of the Turks and the idea of ​​luring our main force of the cavalry to the grassland to annihilate it?"

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, Li Chongjiu nodded but said nothing.

Ji Chuan, the Minister of the Secretariat, looked at the official document and listened to Wen Yanbo's words, saying: "This is not like the Turkish plan. The turmoil of Yan Yeli tribe is still in its infancy. Borhan has not yet reached the point where he cannot control the situation, so the Turks would never have expected that the Great Protector would have decided to send troops to quell the rebellion so quickly."

After reading it, Ji Chuan handed it to Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanshu said, "Although it is certain that the Turks did not have such intentions in advance. However, Yan Yeli's tribe was too close to the Turks. Although the little Khan Tuli had a good relationship with our country, the Turks' wolf nature was repeated and untrustworthy. If you heard that the Great Protector sent troops to cross the Wuhou Qin River, Tuli could quickly mobilize tens of thousands of troops within a few days, and it would be a bad time."

Xue Wanche looked halfway and said, "I think this move by the Great Protector is really a wise move. I think it is because I am worried about the Turkic intervention that the Great Protector used this quick knife to cut the mess. He also asked Youjing for reinforcements as a backup, thinking it was a perfect solution."

Among the five, Wang Mahan was illiterate, but he did not take documents and understood the matter roughly. He immediately shouted: "In short, it is to send troops. If the Turks dare to intervene, we will fight him."

Li Chongjiu said, "Everyone's meaning. Gu understood. No matter how you guess the reactions of all parties, the Ruoshuizhou Protectorate has decided to send troops to quell the rebellion. Now that the arrow is on the string, I have to send out my own efforts. My State of Zhao must fully support the Ruoshuizhou Protectorate. Win this battle, otherwise not only will our prestige in the grassland disappear, and the troops that belong to us will also excavate one after another, and Gu decided to lead the army to rule."

As soon as Li Chongjiu said this, Wen Yanbo said immediately: "Your Majesty, I think it is not possible. The king is the lord of Youzhou, so you should not move lightly. If you reinforce the Great Protector, you can send a general to the north."

Ji Chuan also said together: "I also opposed the king's use of troops. As the saying goes, generals control their troops, commanders control generals, and commanders control generals. If there is any war, the king will ask the king to personally fight. What is the use of generals? The Qin River of Wuhou is thousands of miles away from Youjing. The king is far away from the king's capital. Once there is a change in the rear, within a thousand miles, the news will not come in an instant."

Xue Wanshu said, "Yes, I am also asking me. There is Li Tang in Hedong and Liu Heita in Hebei. The strong enemy is still there, how can you go north easily?"

The civil servants objected, and Wang Mahan originally wanted to speak for Li Chongjiu, but he didn't speak at the moment. Xue Wanche immediately put out his head and held his fists and said, "I will ask the king to give him an important task and go to the northern part of the desert to help the Great Protector."

When Li Chongjiu heard that Xue Wanche was going to lead the army himself, he stopped and frowned and said, "I am not at ease with this matter. Since the defeat of the Khitan, the foreigners outside the border have no idea of ​​learning lessons and are ready to move. If I don't personally fight and defeat these barbarians, it will be difficult to relieve my anger. There is no need to say that the matter of conquering Mobei has been decided."

Wen Yanbo heard Li Chongjiu's words firmly and did not dare to offend him and persuade him again.

The next morning, when Yonghe Hall was discussing politics, officials from Zhao State gathered. Li Chongjiu, above the hall, told all the ministers and workers to personally lead the Youzhou army to aid the northern border.

After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Chen Xiaoyi, Wang Gui, Lu Chengqing and other ministers came out of the ranks and submitted a joint report asking Li Chongjiu to withdraw his order to personally expedition.

Li Chongjiu refused, and a dozen people came forward to persuade him, all of whom were opposed to Li Chongjiu's personal expedition.

However, all the ministers' memorials were rejected by Li Chongjiu in the church.

After resigning from the court, all the ministers gathered in front of Yonghe Palace and refused to part with one person, saying, "If you want to persuade the king, you have to ask the King of Wei."

Another retorted: "The King of Wei's family is ill and has not taken any attention for several days. I'm afraid he can't help him."

"What should I do?"

Everyone looked at Wen Yanbo. Now that he is the leader of civil servants, he is the most popular one.

Wen Yanbo's eyes swept across everyone, and saw that most of them were frowning, only one of them was at peace.

Wen Yanbo said, "Don't be anxious about this matter. It is not enough to mobilize the troops of each government to make a move in one day or two. You should retreat first, and it will not be too late to persuade you in the morning court tomorrow."

"That's all." The ministers retreated one after another.

When Wen Yanbo arrived outside the palace, he ignored the prime minister's wishes and quickly caught up with someone and said, "Sheren Zhang, please stay."

Zhang Xuansu stopped after hearing this, turned around, and quickly bowed and said, "It turns out that he is the prime minister. I don't know if he calls me here to stay here, what can I tell you?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Zhang Sheren, are you trying to persuade King Zhao in your heart?"

Zhang Xuansu spread his hands and said, "The prime minister is being promoted, and all the officials and workers in the court have been rejected today. How can I persuade King Zhao?"

Wen Yanbo said, "I will not misunderstand people. Zhang Sheren is a resourceful person. Today, please advise King Zhao to persuade him. Millions of people in Zhao will thank Zhang Sheren."

Zhang Xuansu smiled bitterly and said, "The prime minister said so, are there anyone who refuses to obey his orders?"

When he walked into the side hall, Zhang Xuansu saw Li Chongjiu correcting the official documents. The other party leaned on the desk and said without raising his head, "If Zhang Aiqing comes to be a lobbyist, I think he can go back."

Zhang Xuansu smiled and said, "I am not here to be a lobbyist, but to relieve the worries in the king's heart."

Li Chongjiu said, "In the eyes of the Lord, what is the difference between relieving worries and being a lobbyist?" He kept saying that.

Zhang Xuansu said, "In my opinion, the king's intention is very determined today. It is not that he must personally conquer the north, but whether he is worried about being unable to use it?"

Li Chongjiu put down his pen and looked at Zhang Xuansu and said, "All the officials and workers in the court were puzzled. Only Zhang Aiqing was as wise as a torch and secretly stole the words, but Gu had this intention... Gu rose up from the deserted town and fought with more than ten foreigners. He never lost his achievements. The Khitans feared me like a tiger. If they personally conquer the north, they could decide. There was no one to replace the officials in Guguan class, so they wanted to conquer them personally."

Zhang Xuansu said, "What the King said is very true, but I think that if the King has just ascended the throne, if he wants to raise a large army, he will personally attack Hedong and Hebei, and sweep away the heroes, he can lead the six divisions in person. If he attacks the outer border, there are many mountains and rivers, he can order the general to take charge."

Li Chongjiu nodded. At the moment, Yuchi Gong and Xu Shiji were stationed outside, so they should not be moved easily. He was worried about the war in Mobei because he felt that except for the two, his subordinates had no independent generals, so he decided to fight in person.

But now all the ministers are against their own expedition today, and they are somewhat worried that no one in Youjing will be in charge, so Li Chongjiu is a little hesitant at the moment.

Zhang Xuansu said: "I thought the king personally fought for the army, but I refused to take the matter offend to others. I recommended Xue Wanche to be competent for the position of a general."

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "Xue Wanche is a general. It is good to be proficient in military tactics and battle formations. However, he is strong and proud of himself. He will be proud of him and refuse to accept other people's words. It would be fine if he was someone else, but he has not been able to deal with Tuli, Chuluo, and Turkic wolf riding power."

Zhang Xuansu smiled and said, "So that's it. No wonder General Xue volunteered before, but the king did not agree. I have a way. Although General Xue is always proud, he respects his brother. He can only supervise him as the military supervisor. He must not stop talking to his elder brother, and he will not be in conflict with the generals."
