The eldest son is fierce

The hall of the Marshal's Mansion was in a dead silence. "Zhennan is dead? Is the King of Zhennan really dead?!"

After a while, one of the dazed generals in the hall finally came to his senses and asked in a stern voice.

"Yes, the King of Zhennan is dead, and the military power of the Zhennan Army has been taken back by the Marshal. Now, the Marshal is leading the Zhennan Army to attack Tianyong Pass." The spy said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into silence again.

It was confirmed that the Prince of Zhennan was really dead, and the Zhennan Army was really brought here by Tang Yi.

"Well, what did you guys just say?"

Li Yunyang stood up and coughed dryly, "Just now, you all said to retreat to Yangcheng? This general firmly disagrees. How about we discuss it again?"

Upon hearing this, all the generals in the hall stood up in fear and agreed one after another.

"Retreat to Yangcheng? Who said that? I never said that."

"That's right, the general and I have the same idea. I strongly disagree with retreating to Yangcheng."

"Haha, what do you mean by retreating to Yangcheng? As generals of the Great Yan, we should be loyal to the emperor and love our country, protecting the country and its people."

"..."

Are you kidding? Tang Yi easily captured the heavily guarded shopping mall. There are only 60,000 remnants of the border army in Tianyong Pass. Is it difficult for Tang Yi to enter Tianyong Pass?

They don’t want to fall asleep and never wake up, with their heads hung on the city walls to boost the morale of the border troops!

"Okay, since we have reinforcements, then pass on my orders!"

Li Yunyang put his hands on his hips and said sternly, "Order the entire army to defend Tianyong Pass to the death. Anyone who dares to retreat will die!"

"Yes, sir!" All the generals took the order and left.

As soon as the generals left, Li Yunyang immediately waved to the spy. The spy immediately stepped forward, and Li Yunyang whispered in his ear, "Send someone to contact the Marshal and tell him that this general will definitely obey his orders and defend Tianyong Pass to the death."

The spy was a little confused for a moment, General, didn’t you just say that?

Li Yunyang kicked him and said, "Just now you said it was public, and now you say it's private. This general must distinguish between public and private matters, understand?"

"Yes, yes, I'll do it immediately."

The spy got up, turned around and ran out the door. The general was really something. He just licked me and said it so openly and righteously.

……

The next day. Zhennan Army Camp.

After a day and night of rapid march, Tang Yi finally ordered the army to set up camp. In the general's tent, Tang Yi reviewed the intelligence gathered by various parties while holding a meeting with the generals of each army.

"Jinyiwei, all the bad guys' spies, keep a close eye on the movements in the direction of Tianyong Pass. Not only the movements of the Nanjing army, but also the situation of the border troops inside Tianyong Pass."

"Report to me once every two hours."

Liang Shao immediately stepped out of the class and bowed, saying, "Yes, I will personally handle this matter."

Tang Yi put down the intelligence in his hand and said, "The goods have arrived. Go get a hundred telescopes and distribute them. Some things can be solved with technology. There is no need to risk human lives."

Liang Shao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, thank you, Marshal."

"Xiao Liang."

Tang Yi looked at the vanguard commander Xiao Liang and said, "Post sentries twenty miles away. Report any situation immediately. If the situation is urgent, you can make the decision without asking for permission."

"Also, the Zhennan Army that Su Yunyan gathered is on its way back to its base. The returning Zhennan Army will be placed under the unified command of your front army."

"Yes." Xiao Liang said in surprise.

Damn, it really is much more useful to work hard with the right person.

I have endured more than ten years of hard work in the southern border before I was promoted to the rank of captain. Now, with just one word from the Marshal, I have become a general commanding an army of thirty to forty thousand!

"Also, inform Mr. Wei that it's time to get down to business!"

Tang Yi raised his hand and snapped his fingers, saying, "The disguise will be lifted in three days."

"Since Huangfu Zong likes to use tricks, then I will let him know what the abyss is."

……

Meanwhile, Kyoto.

After Tang Yi went to war, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to give priority to supplying all resources outside the southern border, and he never held court again. This caused an uproar in the court and the country, and the ministers were angry.

Until today, when the situation had almost reached the point where all the ministers knelt in the palace, Emperor Yanwen was forced to open the court to question the government.

"Your Majesty, the Nanjing army is now invading, and the Beidi and Dongyu are eyeing us covetously. Our Great Yan is facing internal and external troubles. How can Your Majesty close the palace and ignore it?"

"Is Your Majesty really going to be a tyrant who only listens to one side and believes what is said, as the rumors say?"

In the Zi Zheng Hall, as soon as Emperor Yanwen sat down on the dragon throne, the censors from the Censorate stood up and started firing.

With the censor taking the lead, many ministers immediately stood up and echoed his words.

"Your Majesty, the war in the southern border concerns the fate of the Great Yan nation. How can we hand it over to a young boy?"

"I second your opinion. Commander-in-Chief Nanjing is Huangfu Zong, a Grandmaster. We in Dayan do not have a Grandmaster. We cannot force this battle!"

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan's rebellious intentions are clear as day. Tang Yi only brought 5,000 soldiers into the southern border, while the combined forces of Nanjing and the Prince of Zhennan number 300,000. The disparity in strength between us is simply too great."

"..."

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Yanwen faced the questioning of his ministers and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

Come again, come again, come again... I really give you too much face. A group of defeated generals under Tang Yi dare to talk about bravery?

Tang Yi just left, and you've already forgotten the pain, right? I didn't close the palace and close the court because I was afraid of you. I was waiting, waiting for news from Tang Yi, okay?!

"That's enough, shut up."

Emperor Yanwen slammed his hand on the table, and the noisy hall gradually quieted down.

He swept his cold eyes across the room and said, "I let Tang Yi take charge of the two regions. You all have objections, right? Why didn't you say so at the time? Now that Tang Yi has arrived in the southern border, you want me to change the commander at the last minute?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers lowered their heads subconsciously. At that time, you had just torn Yan Shuangyu and her son into pieces. Didn’t we just say that?

If I say it, I might end up being torn into pieces by five horses like Yan Shuangyu and her son.

"Your Majesty, what the ministers are asking for is not a change of commander, but rather a concern for the fate of our Great Yan nation!"

Fan Yong, standing at the front, stepped forward, folded his sleeves, and saluted, saying, "After all, including the border troops, Tang Yi only has 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, while the Prince of Zhennan and Huangfu Zong have long been in collusion, and the two of them together have more than 300,000 soldiers."

"Sixty to seventy thousand versus three hundred thousand, plus Huangfu Zong is at the Grandmaster level... Your Majesty, no matter from which angle, I don't see any hope of victory."

"Therefore, Your Majesty, please think twice about the battle in the southern border!"

Emperor Yanwen looked down at Fan Yong. No matter from which angle, he could not see any hope of victory.

Haha, is there a possibility that your knees are too weak, so your angle of view is also distorted?

Although I am also worried, no matter from which angle I look, I see Tang Yi shining. I believe that it won’t be long before the news of the great victory in the southern border will come.

Although he felt unhappy, Emperor Yanwen still managed to maintain his composure and said calmly, "Oh? Is that so? Then I wonder what Lord Fan and the other nobles have to say about the battle in the southern border...?"

Fan Yong pretended to be embarrassed for a while, then he bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I believe there is only one way to force Nan Jing to withdraw his troops."

"That is... a marriage alliance. Princess Yunyang Xiao Lan and Nanjing will marry."
