Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Chapter 119: Crane and clam fight, the fisherman benefits

When the minister heard Zhao Changlin's answer, he was furious and sighed in his heart. It seemed that their Daliang Dynasty would be destroyed by this woman sooner or later.

It is already such a late hour, the rebels attacking the city is no joke.

If you don't handle this carefully and carefully, deploy troops and strengthen the defenses of each state and prefecture, I'm afraid Your Highness won't even be able to save his own life.

"Your Highness, the battle to defend the city is not a joke!"

"Emperors of all dynasties would never show mercy when faced with the rebellion of vassal kings!"

"Not only have you not punished King Wen, but you have also completely ignored the slogans of the rebels! Your Highness, you are too soft-hearted. You must not do that again!"

After saying that, he clenched the jade token in his hand, bent his knees slightly, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

The voice was sad, as if feeling sorrow and misfortune for the entire Daliang Dynasty.

What he was more worried about was that once the rebels broke into the imperial city, if the rebels supported King Wen or his son to ascend the throne, there would inevitably be a purge among the ministers, and he would not be able to keep his official hat.

The lightest punishment was exile to the frontier, slavery for generations, or conscription into the army.

In serious cases, the entire family will be executed and nine generations of the clan will be banned from holding official positions.

Whether this person is afraid of death or loyal to the country is another matter.

However, his paranoid reaction was exactly what Zhao Changlin needed at the moment, to make this group of people as anxious as ants on a hot pan, so as to fool the rebels who were rushing in with high spirits, right?

"Go on. I'm listening."

Zhao Changlin remained not angry. She knew exactly what these court officials were thinking.

This situation is moving in the direction he had envisioned. What he said is not without reason. Are King Wen's followers a mob?

Naturally not.

On the contrary, over the years, his good uncle used his status as a prince to plunder the people's wealth from his fiefdom to build sophisticated equipment for his army.

At least he had top-quality military equipment under his command, but it might be a little different from the sophisticated ones used by the Ministry of Industry.

After all, the small workshop he built by himself could certainly not compare to the Ministry of Industry that had been operating for a hundred years.

The minister did not hear the expected reprimand and paused for a moment, as if he had not expected that His Highness would not reprimand him.

Instead, let yourself continue talking.

His palms were already cold on the ground, but a raging fire was burning in his heart, so he raised his head and continued, "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to let the Marquis of Loyalty and General Nuo go to support the city where the rebels passed!"

"As long as they can't cross the Yong River, everything will be fine and the Imperial City will be safe!"

It seems that this guy had already planned out the abacus beads long ago. Zhao Changlin thought about what he said in his mind and it was not impossible.

It would be a feasible method to kill all the rebels on the banks of the Yong River.

The Yong River was originally a small stream on the edge of the suburbs of today's Zhou City. Later, it was improved by the emperor, who expanded the river every year and built dams on a large scale.

The purpose is to make Yong River the first defense of Jinzhou City. This river has been improved and the water is turbulent. If you fall into it carelessly, you will be killed.

The bridge over the Yong River is the only way for the army to enter Jinzhou City.

Of course, it is possible not to go through the Yong River, but the mountain road is rugged. Jinzhou City is a basin terrain. If you want to lead troops to launch a surprise attack from the mountains, you can only use guerrilla warfare.

This is undoubtedly a tickling level for Jinzhou City's defense.

Throughout the dynasties, emperors would renovate the city walls, build up the defenses of the present-day Zhoucheng, and strengthen the military force.

It can be said that the capital of a country is the entire expression of that country. If it were easily attacked, wouldn’t it be laughable?

"Your Excellency's words make sense, but this still depends on the wishes of the two generals."

"I have led troops in battles before, so I am well aware of the rules of the military. A general loves his soldiers like his own sons, and they obey his orders. Even though I am the crown prince, I cannot act beyond my authority."

"This is disgraceful and against royal etiquette."

The vassal of my vassal is not my vassal.

This is such a simple truth that all the ministers present here can understand it. Moreover, Your Highness has said this to the ministers who have met Your Highness before.

They knew that the local troops could not be moved without permission, and they could only count on the troops stationed in Jinzhou City. However, no one in the court dared to take up the responsibilities that His Highness had kicked.

"In that case, why don't you summon Marquis Zhongyong and General Nuo to the palace? We can persuade them!"

Right speech.

The minister in red official uniform was very serious. As a minister of advice, he naturally practiced hard to debate with scholars, so he knew the job of defending the country well.

What conditions did Marquis Zhongyong and General Nuo refuse to agree to?

If Jinzhou City was breached, these two generals would certainly not gain any benefits, and their troops would still remain outside Jinzhou City, stationed in large numbers.

A lot of military pay is required every day.

They eat the imperial grain from the court and ask the court for military pay. Now that the court is in trouble, what qualifications do they have to stay out of it?

"Well, since this is your request, let's see what happens in this palace in a few days."

"If Marquis Zhongyong and General Nuo are willing to send troops, then I will send the Imperial City Guards to accompany the two generals."

Hearing His Highness's answer, the minister felt relieved, as if he was convinced, and rested his forehead on his scarlet robe.

Knocked gently.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Zhao Changlin smiled. She had originally not planned to let Marquis Zhongyong and General Nuo appear, but since someone handed her a knife, why not use it.

The military power of these two generals has always been due to the bravery and fighting of their personal soldiers, so naturally they gave the good things to their personal soldiers.

The other troops couldn't get even a single cent.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of these two royal guards, who are armed to the teeth with weapons, they can at least defeat three enemies at once.

In addition, the royal guards have followed the generals in battles all year round and are experienced, whether on plains or steep slopes, desert grasslands, or mountain basins.

That all have certain practical experience.

This is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it on paper.

What's more, changes in weather, both dryness and humidity can affect the army.

If these two generals have second thoughts and turn their horses around from within Jinzhou City and aim their swords at the Imperial City, it would be difficult for the Royal Guards and Shadow Guards to resist with their strength.

Whether we can win is uncertain.

But if these two generals could fight with the supporters of King Wen on the Yong River with "plausible" reasons.

Then I will have to be the fisherman who benefits from the conflict between the crane and the clam.

why not?
