"Enough!" Zhao Chao roared, and the court was silent.
"After the fall of the Central Plains, the general who fought in the first battle of Nandu is almost gone now." Xie Hui sighed.
As soon as Xie Hui opened his mouth, the ministers did not dare to speak any more. Although You Miao was a senator, Xie Hui's qualifications were still higher than him, and he did not dare to say more.
"General Lin, General Wang, General Sun..." Xie Hui said: "There are not many people who have joined forces with General Nie, are familiar with Nie Shuai's tactics, and can lead Nie Shuai's old army alone and regain their morale..."
You Miao knew that what Xie Hui said was just a euphemism, and he had thought about it more than once. Back then, those who fought with the Tatars either died of old age or died in battle. Since returning to the south, there have been only a few. Yangzhou's new generals had their own factions, and they were assigned to the front line to lead troops, but Nie Dan's troops refused to obey. Second, they could not cooperate with Li Zhifeng.
The only veteran was Tang Hui, but Tang Hui was blind in both eyes and was used to taking the garrison army. It was already reluctant to send him to the expedition, but now he is on the front line and taking over 100,000 people is clearly beyond his ability.
Xie Hui said again: "The old minister was thinking about this last night. For now, the only candidate in the court is General Tang."
You Miao said: "I still have a choice, who can make Tu Risheng lead the army."
Since Tu Risheng was released from prison, he has been transferred to Yizhou. Zhao Chao finally followed You Miao's suggestion and asked Tu Risheng to lead the troops and defend Yizhou. But at this moment, if Tu Risheng was to be transferred back, Yizhou would be left unguarded, fearing that the pirates would take advantage of it and enter.
Tang Hui stood quietly, with no expression of joy or anger on his face covered with a black cloth. Xie Hui added: "Ask General Tang first, if Li Zhifeng were to pack up the remaining troops and take over Nie Shuai's troops, and you replace General Li and command the remaining troops, what are the chances of winning?"
In the silence, Tang Hui answered:
"Less than thirty percent."
"Let's talk about General Tu Risheng." Xie Hui said: "Although General Tu is used to militia, he is good at infantry, and he is good at fighting on the plains, and he is not good at guerrilla and coping with guerrilla. I'm afraid it is not appropriate."
You Miao said: "So Tang Hui and Tu Risheng cooperate, and the two sides can complement each other."
Xie Hui said, "Lord You, what do you think is the chance of winning?"
You Miao was silent, in fact, even he couldn't convince himself, but now, Tang Hui and Tu Risheng, there was no way out.
Zhao Chao said: "All the ministers forgot that Brother Nie had brought soldiers and fought with him before he was alive, and there was one other person."
The expressions of the court officials moved slightly, Zhao Chao's eyes were red, and he said: "And I. You forgot, since I was in Beijing, when I was still the third prince, I followed Brother Nie to practice leading the army."
Li Yanse changed his voice: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty has no children, so how can you rush into the army?"
"The queen is pregnant." Zhao Chao got up and said.
You Miao knew that although Zhao Chao had led his troops to fight and failed many times, he was also tenacious and unyielding. He always felt that Zhao Chao had the ability to lead troops, but he was only held back by the imperial court. Apocalypse, if you say who is the most untimely, it is undoubtedly Zhao Chao.
When he went to Beijing for the second time, he believed that if one day Zhao Chao was allowed to lead his troops unhindered, he would definitely win the battle. However, when the matter came to the fore, You Miao began to worry about many other things—including whether Li Zhifeng could cooperate with Zhao Chao, and it was rare in history that he would go on a personal expedition before his heir was born. If Zhao Chao died in battle... Then the heavy responsibility of Tian Qi would fall on the shoulders of Qiao Rong, her children, and You Miao.
After thinking for a moment, You Miao didn't dare to say anything, just replied, "Your Majesty, please think again."
Zhao Chao sighed and said, "Let's take a look at Big Brother first."
Under the leadership of Zhao Chao, the ministers went out of Xuanwu Gate and went to the inner city gate to meet Nie Dan's spiritual pivot.
You Miao cried countless times and thought she was already numb, but standing in front of Nie Dan's coffin, she still choked involuntarily and her eyes were red.
Zuo Zuo opened the coffin, You Miao pressed her head against the coffin and almost fainted.
Zhao Chao burst into tears, and the courtiers burst into tears.
Nie Danwei's body was broken and his legs were broken. There were two blood holes left on his once resolute face, his eyes were gouged out, a tooth was pulled out alive, and his tongue was cut off.
His body lay quietly in the coffin, You Miao was furious, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
"Young Master..."
The sound faded away.
When You Miao opened his eyes again, his face was full of tears. He had a splitting headache. He rolled over and sat up, rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground crying. A stream of sweet blood rose from his mouth, and he couldn't help but spit it out with a wow.
"Ziqian!" Zhao Chao stepped in quickly and asked You Miao to sit up.
You Miao closed her eyes and said sadly, "Big brother, what exactly did he plan... I haven't had a few good days in my life..."
Zhao Chao's eyes were red, and he choked: "Tomorrow I will lead the army to go to war, Ziqian, the battle is not over yet..."
You Miao suppressed her tears and nodded.
Zhao Chao hugged You Miao and whispered, "Don't let your sister know."
You Miao nodded without saying a word, and was in a state of grief for a while, leaning on Zhao Chao's shoulder and crying.
Only a few people know the news that Nie Dan was tortured by the Quan Rong tribe and died without surrendering, but after the coffin was opened, everyone knew that this time Tian Qi and Quan Rong had forged an inexorable hatred. Anyone who has a heart knows that this is Gegen's poisonous plan, a way to alienate Tianqi and Quanrong in order to avenge He Motieer's revenge.
It's no one's fault. When the two countries fight against each other, they will either live or die. You Miao sighs and sits in front of the political affairs hall. For several days, the sadness and sadness in his heart are difficult to resolve.
He still remembered what Nie Dan said on that day in Da'an, that there will be a day when the dangers of the troubled times will be resolved, and the Hu people will no longer be allowed to kill the Han people, nor will they kill the Hu people. Everyone sit down and live a peaceful life together.
He knew that Nie Dan's departure heralded the end of the previous apocalypse.
This dynasty is about to move towards a new future.
