Dressed as Wu Dalang, starting at 1.9 meters

Prime Minister Zuo said, "I have followed His Majesty's request, but there is still no news from the State Teacher."

The glimmer of hope that the new emperor had just lit up disappeared in an instant.

"If there is no news, it means that the national teacher is still unwilling to forgive me.

It's all my fault, the national teacher clearly reminded me kindly at that time, but I thought he had wolf ambitions! "

The new emperor was very annoyed, and now he finally understands the words of Si Liang, who is in trouble with the country.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the national teacher is unwilling to lead the army, and there are veterans."

Zuo Xiang stood up and straightened his back, "I once defeated the Liao army at Yanmen Pass, and this time I can do it too!"

The new emperor looked at the upright Prime Minister Zuo, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Prime Minister Zuo is loyal to the country, and I will always remember this kindness in my heart.

I named you Marshal of Zhengliao and King of Jin. "

The left minister knelt down and kowtowed to the new emperor.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty. Even if the old minister risked his life, he would never let the Liao army cross the Yellow River!"

Civil and military officials felt Zuo Xiang's loyalty to the country and bowed to him one after another.

"The current military situation is urgent. Your Majesty, please give me a tiger talisman. I will immediately go to the school grounds to mobilize troops and march north."

The new emperor nodded.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized in Tokyo?"

Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and knelt down to salute and reported: "Your Majesty, there are 80 forbidden troops in Tokyo, but only 20 have actually experienced the battlefield and can immediately follow King Jin."

"Why are there only 20 people who can immediately follow King Jin to the expedition, and what are the other 60 people doing?"

The new emperor was furious.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

"I'm asking you something, just say what you know, what does it look like lying there!"

The new emperor shouted.

The Minister of the Ministry of War trembled and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, half of the 80 forbidden troops were caused by different degrees of natural disasters in various provinces when the late emperor was alive. The strong men are included in the army, one is to make them have a livelihood, and the other is to transfer them and prevent them from making troubles in natural disaster provinces."

Chapter 102 This battle is only for the people of Song Dynasty

"The first emperor sat on the throne for 13 years, but there were natural disasters in seven or eight years. In total, there were as many as 80 imperial troops."

The first emperor frowned, and the army capable of fighting was only 20, which was only half of the Liao Kingdom's southward march.

The remaining 60 are all for money and nothing to do!

"Your Majesty, I just thought of a way to make up for the lack of troops."

Minister of the Ministry of War had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly played.

"Say it!"

"National Teacher Wu Tian still has 10 horses in his hands. They have rich combat experience. If these 10 horses can also be transferred to King Jin, then there will be 30 horses.

Although it is [-] fewer than the Liao Kingdom, we are fighting in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Relying on the familiar terrain and the support of the people to the court, it is not a problem to delay it for three to five months.

During this period of time, the Ministry of War reorganized the remaining 60 horses, and selected the strong ones for training, and it should be able to gather 20 troops. "

The new emperor was angry, and shouted: "If the national teacher is willing to go out, I still need to be so distressed!

You bastard, you deliberately want to embarrass me!

Come, drag this guy down and dismiss him from office! "

The two guards stepped forward and dragged the Minister of War down without any explanation.

The new emperor was still angry, and Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the 20 army is only 20 troops. As long as the deployment is good, the 40 Liao army can still be defeated."

Only then did the new emperor calm down a little, and held Prime Minister Zuo's hand: "Ai Qing, this time it's up to you."

Prime Minister Zuo nodded and stepped back.

But the new emperor turned even paler. Obviously, he felt that the chance of the left prime minister winning this time was very slim.

……

Day two.

on the school field.

The 20 army is ready to go. Although they have all the weapons and armor, they have no fighting spirit in their eyes.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty to the present, they have fought against the Liao Kingdom, and most of them have suffered disastrous defeats, or even wiped out their entire army.

At the Xinhuang Royal Driving School, I personally gave Zuo Xiang three glasses of wine.

The left hand took it, the first cup respected the sky, the second cup respected the earth, and the third cup drank by himself.

Although he has the ambition to serve the country, but he also knows that he is old after all, this is a last resort!

"Your Majesty, when you go back, I will definitely drive the people of Liao Kingdom out of our Great Song Dynasty!"

As he said that, Prime Minister Zuo was accidentally knocked down by the steps.

The new emperor hurried to help, but his face became very gloomy.

It is very ominous that something like this has happened before the expedition.

The doctor Yu Shi came out of duty and knelt in front of the new emperor: "Your Majesty, the heaven has sent a warning. I think the left minister is not suitable for the expedition, so I should send someone else."

The new emperor angrily reprimanded Doctor Yushi: "I don't know in my heart that Prime Minister Zuo is not suitable to go to war, but who in the court is willing to go to war instead of Prime Minister Zuo!"

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from a distance: "My minister Wu Tian is willing to lead the army to replace Zuo Xiang!"

The new emperor and Zuo Xiang were pleasantly surprised.

Wu Tian walked in front of the new emperor, "Will your majesty let me go to war?"

The new emperor stepped forward in person, but it wasn't Wu Tian who saluted him, but the new emperor personally saluted Wu Tian!

He shook Wu Tian's hand and said excitedly: "A loyal minister is shown in troubled times, Ai Qing came at the right time.

I was wrong before, and I shouldn't doubt Aiqing's loyalty to Da Song, let alone ignore Aiqing's golden and jade marriage.
