widowed with sickness

21. Close relatives and distant relatives

The so-called easy before difficult, the Northern Han Dynasty in the north was tough, and the Khitan was even more powerful.The emperor originally planned to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and then launch an army to the north, but the world is always not as expected.

Before the emperor sent troops, beacon fires had already ignited on the border——Northern Han invaders.

Probably the Northern Han Dynasty also saw the exhaustion of Fang Xie's soldiers during the battle here.Fortunately, they gained a lot in the battle of the Southern Expedition, and they can still support it by taking advantage of the situation and fighting another battle.

It's just that it's not difficult to defend against the enemy. After this battle, the court will no longer be able to raise troops in a short time.

The emperor really didn't want to let the Northern Han go.After much deliberation, he decided to let the general lead the army—maybe he would be able to complete his service in one battle...

-------------------------------------

Knowing the emperor's decision, even the old prime minister who has always been slippery and known as the "tumbler" in officialdom couldn't sit still.The general is already an extremely personable minister, if you add the merits of destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, is it still worth it?

"If meritorious service is not rewarded, the master of the earthquake will be in danger. If the commander is loyal and loyal, how can the generals in the army be free from worries?"

Of course the emperor understands this truth, not to mention that he and the general also... can't say how much they confided in each other.

Although the rebellion that day was overplayed lightly, it still stuck deeply in the hearts of the monarch and his ministers like a thorn, and they would explode from time to time.

But the emperor was not reconciled.Jin Ou is short, and the moon is not yet full.Looking at the large tracts of the Han and Tang Dynasties on the map that were drawn outside the border, he couldn't hold back his blood, and said in a low voice, "How about... I will personally conquer—"

"No, Your Majesty!" Before the emperor finished speaking, the prime minister interrupted sharply.

The emperor turned his head slightly to look at the prime minister, no joy or anger could be seen on his calm face.

However, the prime minister had no fear: "How can His Majesty ignore the important affairs of the country, such as sacrifices and soldiers?"

"I have no intention of underestimating the enemy."

The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "The morale of the army is not stable. It is nothing more than that I have not fought in battle and cannot convince people. If I can achieve a victory, I don't need to make the public support me and plan everything." In the future... there is no need to kill heroes.

"Whoever raises an army, thinks about defeat before winning." The prime minister hardly saved the emperor the slightest face. "Once your Majesty's personal conquest fails, I fear that the government will be shaken and the world will be in trouble."

This "Changle old man" who had lived through four dynasties and ten monarchs was nearly seventy years old, and he was a little unsteady when standing, but his tone was extremely firm at this moment, and he didn't look away from the emperor at all.

Maybe it's because the world has been in chaos for too long?After finally looking forward to a little peace, who would be willing to break it...

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded feebly.

------------------------------------

Looking at the prime minister's back holding the imperial decree and going away, the emperor finally recalled the youthful days when he was riding a horse with a sword, and remembered that he was once drunk in the middle of the night, playing swords and singing in the wine shop.

Don’t you see, Han is the end of the army, weak captives please Changying;

Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun...
