September [-]th is the day of the court meeting.

Xingzong Yuwentuo stipulated that every ten days, the clan lords and courtiers would go to the Ming Hall together to discuss matters.

In this way, an ingenious balance has been formed for the power organization at the core of the entire imperial court, and this performance is even opposed to the seats.

The left head is honored, the right hand is the minister, and the upper middle is the emperor's judgment.

The red golden dragon carpet in the middle of the main hall is more like a symbol, dividing the core of imperial power into two, symbolizing the emperor's right-hand man.

When entering the palace, Shen Bai's eyes searched hard for Zihuan, Zihuan was sitting in the second seat in the first row, looking at the front as motionless as a mountain, and he deliberately ignored the sideways gaze.

Shen Bai couldn't even see the slightest wave on his side face.

"Northwest Protectorate has prepared so many troops. There are 40 troops from the imperial court and 15 cavalry from the party. We should have a result in three strikes, but what is the reality? Eunuch Wang, you put Read the battle report again." Yu Wentuo said displeasedly, rubbing his forehead.

"On the [-]th, ten young generals from Bianjing led troops to Dingzhou, and cooperated with the [-] cavalry from the Duhufu to fight the enemy fiercely in Hedong. The Jingzhao Road army rushed to help, and the two sides faced off on both sides of the Yellow River.

On the [-]th, the follow-up army of our army entered Dingzhou. The Shuzhong Army and the Jingzhao Army crossed the river two ways, but were harassed by the enemy cavalry. Li Lu, General Yingyang of the Beijing Imperial Army, led his troops to fight to the death and beheaded Aluwu under his horse. "

Eunuch Wang's voice resounded sullenly in the bright hall, and he read the battle report from three days ago twice.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Yu Wentuo's voice fell.

Qi Baili, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out.

"Added the title of Li Lu's second-rank general Xiaoqi, and Sun Chaosheng, the commander-in-chief of Meizhou, posthumously named the fourth-rank general Wen Zhao."

"The emperor is wise." All the ministers shouted together.

"I am wise?" Yu Wentuo looked at the civil and military honors on the left and right: "Twice as much as the enemy, twice, how can you tell me how to completely recover Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Guazhou?"

Qi Baili returned: "Although our army is larger in number than the enemy army, it has been dispatched from various directions. There is no unified command, and the enemy is in chaos. Acting. Right now, if the imperial court can't make unified arrangements for the battle of large armies, it may be difficult to win."

"In your opinion?"

"I can follow the example of the sages and choose a suitable candidate from among the princes and princes to go out on behalf of the heavens, and use the emperor's command to dispatch them in a unified manner, and go straight to Shazhou and Heishui in order to achieve complete victory." Qi Baili said in a deep voice.

"Go on behalf of the sky?" Yu Wentuo sat on the dragon chair and thought, but his eyes were looking at Xungui on the left.

Shen Bai's eyes aimed at the only two princes at the top.

The old god Yue Wang was there, as if his soul had completely left his body, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Zihuan's body trembled, and Shen Bai secretly thought something was wrong.

"I am willing to go to war on behalf of the heaven." Under the attention of the ministers, Prince Shen Yuwenye got up and knelt down to the emperor.

Qi Baili, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, clapped his hands and applauded: "Prince Shen is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he will go to war on behalf of the heavens as a prince, which is enough to make the Hulu frightened and encourage the frontline soldiers."

"Hum!" A heavy hum came from the Xungui seat, Yu Wentuo and Zihuan could hear Shen Bai's voice without looking.

Yu Wentuo was curious, why did this 'Idle God' face up.

"You Yanghou, do you have any objections?" Yu Wentuo asked.

Shen Bai got up and walked to the front, kneeling beside Zihuan: "I have never heard such an unsafe suggestion, let alone thought that Qi Shangshu is so ignorant of the situation ahead."

Such a short sentence caused a stir in Mingtang. The Marquis of the current court accused the Minister of the Ministry of War of being ignorant of the front line, which is not bad.

"You Yanghou, I think you are young and ignorant, but I am a minister, so I can't help you spouting blood." Qi Baili said angrily.

"Oh? Qi Shangshu, let me ask you, how many people are there in the Shu army leaving the pass?" Shen Bai asked without looking at him.

"12."

"Yes, 12." Shen Bai nodded: "Central Shu has a stable population and sufficient sources of troops. It has always been the rear of the foreign expedition, but it has always been to send men to the front-line barracks for training, and then join the battle as a frontier army to defend against the enemy. But This time, the matter was urgent, and the Ministry of War requested an order to urgently dispatch 12 troops from Shu County to the expedition, in order to overwhelm the opponent with numbers."

"These are true, what is your point, You Yang Hou?" Yu Wentuo asked, the curiosity in his heart was even stronger than the debate in the court at the moment, because Shen Bai was never from a major, and the direction of thinking was also Opening up a different path, but always able to dominate the small mountains.

"What's wrong is the time to leave the customs." Shen Bai returned.

Qi Baili sneered: "What's wrong with the time of exiting the customs? The army in central Shu went out of the customs to prevent the party from continuing to go west and stop the enemy in Xiliang Mansion. What's wrong?"

"There are two faults with you. First, there are a lot of standing troops in central Shu, but you transferred all the Meizhou Army from Dali to Dali. It snows in August in Ganzhou, but the soldiers come to defend against the enemy in single clothes? Your talk of regaining lost ground is simply a daydream.

Second, if you garrison Jingzhao Mansion with the Shu army, and the 23 Jingzhao Northwest Army goes to Xiliang, all problems will be solved. Now that two armies have gathered in the Northwest Protectorate, Jingzhao is empty. , Isn't it going to approach Jingzhao, soldiers come to Henan, and threaten Bianjing? "

"Well, there is a large army stationed in Xining Mansion, so how can we easily break through." Qi Baili argued.

"Dangxiang used the Uighurs and Tubo as the outposts of the two tribes to resist the Khitan. The king of the partyxiang supported no less than 25 troops, not counting the reinforcements of the two countries. This time, the 15 cavalry will consume our 40 troops. If the two tribes gather 30 So what if the army breaks through Xining?"

"You are just talking on paper, how dare you judge the enemy's movements."

Shen Bai smiled softly: "Then let's go back and talk about the Shu army's protection from the cold."

"The imperial court has already allocated winter clothes, so why would it be single clothes against the enemy?" Qi Baili said with some confidence back.

"Well said." Shen Bai drank lightly: "This time the imperial court allocated [-] pieces of winter clothes, how many were transported to the northwest?"

After speaking, he looked at Wan Jinhou and Huang Liuqi: "Wan Jinhou's fleet is responsible for the transportation, can you tell me the truth?"

"Twenty-five thousand pieces." Huang Liuqi returned.

"Twenty-five thousand pieces, and another [-] pieces were worn by ten young generals and taken away." Shen Bai's voice was like a knife, and the knife saw blood: "And the other sergeants who set out from Bianjing to Beiyuan and Liaodong, It's the same as going out in autumn clothes, asking for more blessings."

"Qi Shangshu, what do you say?" King Yue asked displeased.

"This, this." Qi Shangshu was sweating profusely, "This humble minister deserves to die."

"How dare you let the prince go out on behalf of the heavens? First of all, our opponent is Dangxiang, who has neither established a country nor become a king, and we want to conquer a tribe with the reputation of the emperor? If it is a war that must be won, it will be fine. , but the soldiers on the front line let alone fight, the cold north wind will halve the strength of the 10,000+ army or even freeze to death on the battlefield, what do the troops on the other front line think, aren't they chilling?" Shen Bai said urgently: " We plan to attack, but our army wins with more. More is enough, but there is not enough military supplies, and the lack of military supplies is not enough. We don't even have the heart to fight to the death. We are several times stronger than the enemy and are still hesitant, saying that there is no unified dispatch. , Doesn't the Ministry of War even have an overall strategic deployment?

People say that high houses are built in Ou, but today we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers against hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

If he had a decisive battle with the Khitan armed with millions of armors, wouldn't it be necessary for an army of 300 million to meet the enemy, and the emperor's personal conquest. "

Above the bright hall, it was as quiet as death, and a needle could be heard falling.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the crime of negligence." The left and right prime ministers stood up at the same time to plead guilty, and the civil and military dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty also saluted together: "Your Majesty is guilty."

Qi Baili bowed his head, his face almost touching the gold bricks on the ground, "I am willing to guard the northwest and live and die with the Northwest Protectorate."

Yu Wentuo was not in the mood to pay attention to Qi Baili, but looked at Shen Bai appreciatively, and couldn't help guessing in his heart that Shen Bai, who had always been hiding behind others to make suggestions, suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation because of Prince Shen?

"Zunzuo, Feng Dongpinghou is appointed as the governor of the Northwest Protectorate, with full power to command all armies under his jurisdiction, and Qi Shangshu is appointed as the Northwest Inspection Envoy, and he must run the Northwest military supplies well. At the same time, he ordered the Shu Army to return to the Jingzhao Mansion. After rest Guard the gate of Guanzhong.

All the roads in Xining Prefecture stepped up their defenses, and the Shu army sent another [-] troops to gather in Hanzhong to respond. "Yu Wentuo's order was very clear, he didn't say a quick battle, but deployed on the basis of the result of the quick repair, and at the same time sent Qi Baili over, it was a military order to fulfill his oath to live and die with the Northwest.

At the same time, with him as the minister of the Ministry of War, if the Northwest military supplies are delayed, it will be him who is risking his life.

"Your Majesty is holy." All the ministers shouted together.

Right Prime Minister Wang Mingzhang bowed his head and said: "Half of our army is not able to bear the bitter cold, Beiyuan and Liaodong cannot afford to lose anything, please Your Majesty to continue to send patrol envoys to supervise the two prefectures, think it is safe."

Wang Mingzhang is the empress's father, the head of the Qingliu in the whole dynasty, once he said something, all the officials agreed: "The prime minister's words are reasonable."

"Marquis Youyang has extraordinary knowledge, and I recommend him to visit Liaodong, so that everything can be done." Zhuang Concubine's father, Dali Temple Minister Gu Changyong also played.

Shen Bai snorted coldly in his heart, the revenge came really fast, so the Minister of the Ministry of War and their Gu family are in the same group.

"Beiyuan is a big matter. I have not been active for a long time, but I am still able to draw a bow and sword, and I am willing to go." Concubine Jing's father, Yipin Fuyuan General Yang Jinghe, also played.

"Zunzuo, as for Liaodong, I want to hear Hou Youyang's own thoughts." After Yu Wentuo finished speaking, the courtiers all watched, and almost all the family members of the harem came out to speak, this is the wrestling of the harem.

The show immediately became lively.

"Chen." Zihuan wanted to speak for him, but Shen Bai's hand hidden in his sleeve grabbed him and leaned on his own.

"I am willing to go, but there are conditions." Shen Bai's words aroused the surprise of all the officials, who would dare to negotiate conditions for the emperor.

Yu Wentuo smiled and said: "Haha!" Then his expression changed: "Do you still have conditions for doing things for me?"

The officials were silent, and everyone familiar with the situation knew that this was the prelude to Yu Wentuo's anger.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, and listen to the minister's details." Shen Bai said unhurriedly, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zihuan squeezed it even tighter.

"Say." Yu Wentuo pressed his patience.

"My minister went to Liaodong to have three cases, and please listen to your majesty with all the honorable adults."

"The results of the three cases?" Yu Wentuo became interested: "You tell me."

"Yes!" Shen Bai got up and knelt for a long time. If someone found that Prince Shen was holding his hand, it would be bad if it got out.

Sure enough, with a movement of his body, Zihuan let go of his hand.
