Chapter 874 The dangerous situation in Daliang, the five countries invaded

Princess Pingyang's Mansion!
Although today is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Chen took the initiative to invite Mei Changsu and Lin Chen to have dinner at home.

Mei Changsu has picked up Xiaobao since he came to the Princess's Mansion. Now Xiaobao is more than half a year old and weighs about ten catties.

Mei Changsu's physique is very weak, and it was really difficult to hold him up, but even so, he was reluctant to let it go, and Lin Chen's persuasion was useless.

"Hey, this Chang Su, when he sees your little treasure, he sees no one else. Isn't he just a child, what's the fun, it's boring."

Lin Chen said to Zhou Chen, as if complaining that Mei Changsu stopped talking to him after seeing Xiaobao, looking very unhappy.

Zhou Chen said: "That's because you don't understand the feeling of being a father, but it's normal, after all, you don't even have a woman, let alone a child, so how could you understand such a profound father-son relationship."

"Hey, you provoked me again, you provoked me again, didn't you?"

Lin Chen said with a look of disdain: "It's useless even if you provoke me, what's wrong with me if I don't look for it? I'm so free and happy on my own, why should I find a woman to take care of me, let alone have a baby? It’s too troublesome, and I’m afraid just thinking about it.”

"Yo, I'm still a marriage-phobic family."

"What? Fear of marriage? Am I afraid? I'm too troublesome. Well, forget it. I'll tell you that you don't understand either."

Lin Chen was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude, and felt that he was playing the piano against the cow.

"The mansion of your family has already started construction. It should be possible to live in years ago. I told you that I will save a place for me during the Chinese New Year. Our old man is not here. It is too boring for me to celebrate the New Year alone. I still come here I'm here to play with you."

Although he feels comfortable living alone, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to reunite. Spending the New Year with familiar relatives is definitely happier than spending the New Year alone.

Zhou Chen said: "No problem, my mansion, you can stay as long as you want."

Lin's father and son are both his benefactors, let alone they have been together for more than ten years, and they are senior brothers, so their relationship is not much different from that of real brothers.

"Have you made any progress in your Pure Yang Art recently?"

"There is no progress. I have practiced to the extreme. I can only understand it by myself. But this kind of thing is so simple and can be done."

"It's good if you can figure it out. I'm really afraid that you'll be on the edge of a dead end. It's best to let nature take its course."

He knew Zhou Chen's desire for martial arts, so he was very worried that Zhou Chen's breakthrough would affect his emotions, and he practiced with impatience, making it easier to make mistakes.

After a while, Mei Changsu handed Xiaobao to Ziyu, and joined Zhou Chen and Lin Chen's chat.

"Xiaochen, I have something to tell you. Do you still remember the time when I asked Mr. Zhou to come to the capital for help last year? I gave him the chapter notes of the Four Books and Five Classics that you compiled, and said that I would take you there when I was free." Visit his old man's house."

Having said that, Mei Changsu sighed softly: "It's a pity that there are so many things going on in the capital that we haven't had time to come here for more than a year. A few days ago, Mr. Zhou sent someone to pass He asked about this in a letter and wanted to invite us to Lingyin Temple, what do you think?"

"Mr. Zhou? That's a respectable old man." Lin Chen exclaimed.

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "Of course I have no problem. Anyway, Lingyin Temple is not too far from the capital. When we are free, the two of us will go there."

"That's great, I'll write a reply to the old gentleman when I get back."

Mei Changsu was very happy. He is a person who always repays his kindness. When Mr. Zhou came to the capital to help him in the cold winter, he always wanted to repay him.

On this day, Mei Changsu and Lin Chen stayed at Zhou Chen's place until the night before returning home happily.

"Military urgent report, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Report, Dayu raised [-] troops, crossed the border and raided, Dagon Prefecture fell!"

…………

Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu hadn't left yet, when suddenly one after another border emergency reports came back to the capital, and the capital, which had finally stabilized for a while, suddenly became chaotic.

A day later, Zhou Chen received a call from Prince Xiao Jingyan and went to the East Palace to discuss.

After all, the crown prince is only a crown prince, not an emperor, so even though Emperor Liang is emptied out now, Xiao Jingyan still only discusses matters in the Golden Palace during the Great Court Assembly, and usually discusses matters in the East Palace Mansion.

Because what happened this time was so sudden and astonishing, the prince quickly invited many officials to the East Palace to discuss matters.

However, there are not many officials who can participate in the discussion. Most of the civilian officials are the heads of various ministries, and more are from the military. After all, it involves war, and it is the military that will ultimately contribute more.

Especially the military lords, as long as they were in the capital, Xiao Jingyan would call them over.

When Zhou Chen came to the East Palace, many people had already arrived. Many civil servants and military generals greeted Zhou Chen after seeing him, but some ignored it.

Wu Chenghou, who had been abandoned for more than ten years, was suddenly erected again. In fact, many people looked down on Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen dealt with the crowd, and consciously walked to the side of the most familiar Mu Nihuang.

Mu Nihuang's expression was serious. After seeing Zhou Chen, she didn't say a few words. She was also worried about the current situation.

Sitting in front of the case, Xiao Jingyan carefully read the several urgent reports sent by the army, with his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

Xiao Jingyan didn't put down the letter until everyone was present.

"The military situation is urgent. The imperial court has 17 troops at its disposal. How about the military equipment?"

The people in the Ministry of War immediately saluted and replied: "Your Highness, the armor of about 2 people in the Taiwan Army is not complete. Now the Ministry of War has prepared it, and it will be ready soon."

Xiao Jingyan asked again: "What about money and food?"

Shen Zhui, Minister of the Household Department, replied immediately: "Your Highness, since I received the first urgent report, I have started to raise military funds. I have already thought of several methods. As long as Your Highness agrees, I will start to implement them."

Xiao Jingyan trusted Shen Zhui very much, and immediately said: "There is no need to elaborate, as promised, you should hurry up."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The equipment, money and food have been settled, and the most important thing is next.

Xiao Jingyan stood up, glanced at all the princes and military princes in the hall, and asked, "What do you think, all the military princes?"

Many of the military lords present were elderly people. They all looked at each other in blank dismay and looked at each other, but none of them spoke. Instead, many of them sighed and shook their heads.

Xiao Jingyan looked very dissatisfied, and was about to speak when someone came out.

"Your Highness, it's really hard to deal with the flames of war in the first place. The ministers and others are still in harmony. It's better to send someone to the front line to discuss."

What Xiao Jingyan said, before Xiao Jingyan said anything, the handsome Mu Nihuang couldn't help it.

She sarcastically sarcastically said, "Peace? In the past, only civil servants preside over the war, and generals preside over the war. Why did our girder turn the other way? As soon as the war started, the military leader who led the army wanted to make peace?"

The person who spoke explained to Mu Nihuang: "Princess, this is not because the veterans are cowardly fighting, but there are only 17 soldiers, and it is really not enough to face Dayu, Donghai, Beiyan, and Yeqin at the same time. .”

As for Southern Chu, although the war has not started yet, troops have already been stationed outside the pass, so the [-] troops in the southern border cannot be moved.

But Xiao Jingyan interrupted in a cold voice: "There is no shortage of troops. The real shortage is the commander. As long as there is a commander worthy of a great position, this limited number of troops can exert super strength."

17 soldiers does not sound like much, but Xiao Jingyan had calculated in his mind that Donghai and Yeqin are just small countries. As long as the two sides choose the right commander, each side can deal with up to 3 soldiers. The real threats are Dayu and Beiyan. .

Dayu's [-] troops and Beiyan's [-] cavalry are the real threats to Daliang.

However, Xiao Jingyan is still certain that the troops sent to Donghai and Yeqin will have at least 17 to [-] soldiers. Divided into two parts, it should be barely enough, but the premise is that there must be a capable commander. .

"Military lords, now is the time for you to share your worries for the country and build military merits. I wonder which Qing family wants to take the initiative to invite you?"

For a long time, no one dared to answer Xiao Jingyan's words, mainly because most of these people had not been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and they really didn't have the confidence to lead the army on the battlefield, let alone this war that was besieged by various countries. , It is very dangerous at first glance, so no one dares to stand up.

Ever since, these military lords avoided Xiao Jingyan's eyes one after another, and Xiao Jingyan was so angry that he called his name one by one, but he was still shunned.

Standing on the edge, Zhou Chen silently watched the evasion of these military marquises, feeling amused and sad for Xiao Jingyan.

It may be too much to say that everyone is a vegetarian, but they are indeed not on the stage now. They are known as the strongest leaders in all countries, and these people are the only ones left in the military. It is really ridiculous and sad.

Xiao Jingyan angrily reprimanded him even more, and at the end he even proposed to go to the battlefield himself, all the civil and military officials who were frightened rushed to dissuade and intercept him.

Now the capital cannot do without Xiao Jingyan, especially the officials who are only thinking about Xiao Jingyan, and they are even less willing to let him leave. Once Xiao Jingyan leaves, the majesty in the palace will definitely stir up trouble. When the time comes, the outside is not stable, and there will be chaos inside. up.

Xiao Jingyan also had no choice. No one was willing to take orders, so what else could he do.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Zhou Chen who had been standing on the edge without saying a word, and his eyes lit up.

"Marquis Wu Cheng."

Zhou Chen didn't expect Xiao Jingyan to call him at this time, so he immediately stepped forward.

"His Royal Highness."

"Wu Chenghou, you are from the Red Flame Army, and even participated in the bloody battle with Dayu. What do you think?"

Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Chen, and a few of them showed disdain. They didn't think that Zhou Chen, who had just been rehabilitated as Marquis Wu Cheng, could do anything good.

Zhou Chen's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Your Highness, I don't have any thoughts, I only have one sentence, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up."

"This time all the countries sent troops at the same time. They must have been prepared for a long time, and they even secretly united to carve up the hinterland of the Central Plains in Daliang. It is basically impossible to quell the war in a peaceful way, and it will only make the other party worse."

"Blindly giving in will only put Daliang in a more dangerous situation."

As soon as the words fell, someone scolded dissatisfiedly: "Huangkou kid, what do you know? You just participated in a war and was defeated. What qualifications do you have to speak out?"

Zhou Chen looked coldly at Duke Heng, the representative of the Marquis, and he was also the one who just said he wanted peace.

"Back then, our 20 Red Flame Army almost wiped out the [-] Imperial Army in Dayu. In the eyes of Duke Heng, such a record was actually called a defeat? Then I don't know what record Duke Heng can achieve. Come out and listen to this yellow-mouthed kid like me?"

"You, you, Marquis Wu Cheng, even if your father is alive, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like that."

Duke Heng reprimanded angrily. His position as Duke is hereditary. Although he has also served in the army and participated in several wars, he has no record at all. Naturally, there is no way to stop Zhou Chen's attack. Mouth.

Zhou Chen said with a sneer, "Your anger hurts your body. The war hasn't started yet. Duke Heng, don't hurt your body with anger. If you can't participate in the battle because of your anger, then I will be guilty of a great crime."

"you you……"

Hearing Zhou Chen's unabashed ridicule, Heng Guogong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Just now Mu Nihuang satirized him, he didn't dare to refute, but Zhou Chen actually dared to mock him, which made him unbearable.

"Okay, Duke Heng, please stop talking, Marquis Wu Cheng, please continue."

Xiao Jingyan interrupted their conversation. He was also dissatisfied with Duke Heng, but now is not the time for internal strife.

Zhou Chen didn't look at Heng Guogong again, and continued: "My idea is naturally the main battle. I have the experience of fighting with Dayu, and I am in the top ten of the Langya list. If your highness trusts me, you can send me to Beibei. I can issue a military order, and as long as Zhou Chen is still alive, I will never let Dayu occupy half of Daliang's land."

All the people present showed expressions of surprise. When those military princes were all retreating, Zhou Chen not only stood up by himself, but also dared to issue a military order. Among other things, this courage was more powerful than those military officers present. Hou Qiang is much stronger.

Those military lords with a sense of self-esteem and honor all looked embarrassed at this moment and did not dare to raise their heads.

Although Xiao Jingyan was also amazed at Zhou Chen's courage, he didn't quite believe in Zhou Chen's ability. He admitted that Zhou Chen's martial arts were so strong that he was hard to beat.

But fighting on the battlefield is different from competing in martial arts, especially when there may be tens of thousands, tens of thousands of troops fighting against each other.

Zhou Chen participated in the bloody battle back then, but he was not the coach, not even the chief general, and he didn't have any outstanding records, so Xiao Jingyan was naturally not at ease.

"Marquis Wu Cheng deserves to be the Marquis of Daliang, his courage is commendable."

As soon as Xiao Jingyan finished speaking, Shen Zhui immediately said: "His Royal Highness, Wu Chenghou is indeed a role model for my generation, but war is not a child's play, we still have to carefully consider it."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and looked, this is a smart person, he can talk a lot, and he is much better than that Duke Heng.

"Shen Shangshu's words are right. The matter is of great importance. The crown prince really needs to carefully consider it. Let's stop here today. Everyone, go back first. If you think of any feasible method, report it to me immediately. This war is related to our Daliang. Survival, I hope everyone will help the prince to escape the difficulties together."

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

Everyone left the East Palace. Before leaving, Duke Heng gave Zhou Chen a special look, and left with a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

"Fuck, you must be sick."

Zhou Chen was very speechless. Can this old man become a prince with such a little city?Sure enough, it is the blessing of the ancestors.

Mu Nihuang walked over slowly: "Brother Lin Shu must have received the news, right? I'll go to Su Residence with you."

After speaking, she took the lead and left without waiting for Zhou Chen to reply.

"Oh, I didn't say... Forget it, let's go."

Zhou Chen looked helpless and could only keep up.
