Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything

Not long after receiving the letter from Tian Tian, ​​the urgent battle report from the border town was delivered to Li Yu.

"Damn barbarians are so shameless!"

The fact that the Hu people actually chose to attack the North in the spring showed that they were bound to have a decisive battle with Da Qi.

Li Yu is not afraid of war, but spring is the season when everything recovers. At this time, it is most difficult to recruit troops and raise food.

"No matter what happens, my father will not allow you to go on an expedition!"

As you get older, you become less courageous.

Although the emperor has more than one son, Li Yu, Li Yu is indeed the future emperor of Da Qi. It is the ancestral motto of the Li family that the emperor should not establish a dangerous hall.

"Xiao Tuanzi is still at the border, I'm worried!"

Li Yu frowned. Although he had planned the border for a long time, the Qi army was unable to compete with the Northern Barbarians.

The Hu people are strong and strong, and the Daqi soldiers have little chance of winning if they are two against one. What's more, the Northern Barbarians are well prepared this time.

"Do you think I don't feel sorry for Xiaotuanzi? I feel more sorry for you than you do, but she's already there, how can I be willing to catch up with you again?"

The old emperor seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Father, don't worry, I have discretion!"

Nowadays, Da Qi can only mobilize 60,000 soldiers and horses to the border. Adding in the 20,000 defenders in the border city, it may not be that easy to defeat the 100,000 barbarians from the Northern Barbarians.

What's more, can the border town wait for those 60,000 troops?

Twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand strong troops is like an egg hitting a rock.

The prince and the emperor had been arguing in the morning, and the ministers were about to take action.

"Your Majesty, this disaster entirely depends on His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"If His Highness hadn't insisted on cutting off tribute, how could the Northern Barbarians have fought us with real swords and guns?"

"In my opinion, it is better to send these three years of annual tribute to the Northern Barbarians as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for Da Qi to survive!"

Several old ministers cried bitterly. They originally disagreed with the prince's suspension of annual tribute. Now when they heard that the Northern Barbarians were attacking the border town, they were so frightened that they almost wet their pants.

"People become incompetent when they get old. Look at me, I'm not afraid!"

The old emperor was under greater psychological pressure than anyone else. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would not have the face to face the ancestors of the old Li family.

"Your Majesty, everything is the crown prince's fault. Why don't you let the crown prince take Sui Gong to the Northern Barbarians to plead guilty?"

As long as you don't get beaten, what's the point of emptying the treasury?

"Spineless thing, drag it out and behead it!"

The old emperor's expression suddenly changed. How could his prince go and plead guilty to others?

"Your Majesty, we are all ministers of the Qi Dynasty. We have to work hard even without merit. I am afraid it will be difficult for your Majesty to convince the public with such a decisive decision!"

Several old ministers united to glare at the emperor.

Nowadays, most of the people in the DPRK are upstarts, and they rely on veterans like them for many things, causing them to directly elevate their own status.

"Master Lu, Master Liang, you are offending the emperor!"

"My lords, you don't want to retreat from the enemy, but you accuse His Highness the Crown Prince here. It is extremely disrespectful!"

The chests of the nouveau riche rose and fell with anger.

Although they are young and energetic, they are not as calm and smooth as the old ministers, but they know what national integrity is and what national justice is.

Since the prince has stopped paying annual tribute, as a subject of Da Qi, he should have thought of today's situation, instead of blaming the prince now.

"Now that the Northern Barbarians are coming, the worst we can do is fight him to the death!"

"I am a civil servant, but I am not afraid of death. I request to go to war!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

They are all hot-blooded men, what happened to the literati? It’s not like literati can’t lift a knife?

"You guys, are you going to abandon your ancestors' inheritance and ignore it?"

The old minister cried bitterly, crying that the prince was unkind and the emperor was stupid. The old emperor was so angry that his chest hurt again.

"Is the ancestral inheritance yours? Or is it yours? That belongs to Lao Li's family!"

"Whether it's a country, a country, a country, or an inheritance from our ancestors, it's surnamed Li!"

The old emperor stood up holding his chest.

"Somebody come!"

"Drag these disturbing things out and chop them down!"

The emperor was so angry that millions of people were killed, but it seemed that the emperor had never been angry before, causing the guards outside to either advance or retreat.

"If your Majesty insists on having his own way, then I will have no choice but to give up my loyalty!"

Mr. Fan Ge now seems to be trying to evade the Li family's imperial power.

Since Zhang Chengxiang was executed, the court has gone through several purges, and it has gradually become clearer.

But the few veterans who survived several purges had the habit of relying on their old age and selling off their old age.

"Anyone who is willing to be loyal should go out and die. Don't die in the main hall. It's bad luck!"

The prince never spoke, and when he did speak, his words were as cold as the wind.

"His Royal Highness, you!"

Who wants to die if he can live? Especially these old ministers who hold high positions in the court and are all-powerful. They simply can't let go of their current glory and wealth, but they forget who gave them this honor.

"I think our world is indeed going to change hands soon. Are all the imperial guards bribed by the courtiers?"

The emperor's eyes were gloomy. The imperial guards and the imperial army were all he relied on. If these people were also out of control, wouldn't his empire be almost over?

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but the end will come later!"

The commander of the Forbidden Army gave the Forbidden Army guarding the door a fierce look. If someone smart had not gone to him, who knows what trouble these idiots would have caused.

The veterans never expected that the emperor would actually come, and they were so frightened that they collapsed on the spot.

"If there isn't some blood in this court, I'm afraid you won't have a long memory!"

No matter how the old ministers begged for mercy, the emperor never softened his heart and took this opportunity to deal with all the old ministers who had been left behind.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we must not bow to the Northern Barbarians this time. Otherwise, our Qi Dynasty will never be able to succeed!"

The absence of objections in the court really made people feel a lot better.

"Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

The emperor's chest no longer hurts, and he felt much more relaxed.

"I am young and have insufficient experience, but I know that we cannot retreat. The 60,000-strong army has already set off to the north. Food and grass must be transported there closely following the army!"

The new nobles of the imperial court have little experience, but they know the principle of advancing before the army moves into food and grass. Now it is too late.

"But there isn't much food and grass that can be mobilized at the moment. I'm afraid it won't be able to solve the urgent need?"

Food and drink for tens of thousands of people is not a small sum. The Qi Dynasty is full of waste, and it is difficult to raise so much food and grass at the same time.

"I have no other skills. I have several villages at home. The new grain seeds planted in Tianjia Village in the past two years have produced a good harvest. I still have a lot of grain in stock. I am willing to send all the grain to the north!"

"I am a lonely man, and my salary is of no use. I will go buy food now! In short, I will fight against the Northern Man to the end even if I sell pots and sell iron, I will sink the boat!"

The court broke up early, and the matter that had been quarreling for several days finally came to a conclusion, that is, we must fight to the death even if we try to sell the pot!

The emperor returned to the harem tiredly. Li Yu quietly left the palace.

Outside the palace gate, a group of well-armored soldiers and horses were getting ready to go.
