Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 226 Your Majesty, please think twice

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiao He and other ministers discussed for a long time before leaving the palace.

No one knows what the specific content of the discussion between Xiao He and the other ministers was.

Except for a few of their clients, perhaps only God knows.

After Xiao He and the others left, Zhou Chen started signing in today.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen muttered silently in his heart.

【bite…….】

【Sign in successfully.】

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the allegiance of the character Pan Feng.]

Pan Feng?

Zhou Chen's face looked stunned.

I have general Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong.

This is Pan Feng’s battle to become famous under Hulao Pass.

Pan Feng's battle to become famous is different from the battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu.

On the contrary, it is exactly the opposite of Lu Bu's fame at Hulao Pass.

Not only did Pan Feng not live up to his reputation as a general, but instead of killing Hua Xiong, he became Hua Xiong's victim.

Zhou Chen did not expect that Pan Feng, an unparalleled general who did not live up to his name, would appear in today's sign-in.

A majestic figure appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

"Last General Pan Feng has met Your Majesty."

As soon as Pan Feng appeared, he knelt down and saluted Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes, looked at Pan Feng, and said, "No courtesy!"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment when Pan Feng was not present at the check-in, but he soon regained his composure.

Although Pan Feng was a walk-on character, he didn't survive more than three episodes.

But after all, Pan Feng is also a figure who has left a reputation in the Three Kingdoms.

You must know that the people who can leave a reputation in the Three Kingdoms, even if they are Yan Guo, they are not ordinary people.

At the very least, in Zhou Chen's opinion, this Pan Feng is much stronger than Song Xian and Hou Cheng who signed in before.

Now, the senior military generals in the army are quite sufficient, but there is a huge shortage of middle-level and low-level generals below.

Whether it's the Xiliang Army, the Zhenbei Army, or the Shenwu Guards.

After previous purges, there were huge gaps in the ranks of mid-level and low-level generals.

Pan Feng was signed in, which can be added to the middle and low-level generals in the army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Pan Feng stood up.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and said directly to Pan Feng: "Pan Feng, you can temporarily join the Shenwu Guards and go to the military camp outside the city to find General Huo to take orders!"

"The general will obey the decree."

Pan Feng bowed and accepted the order.

Zhou Chen waved his hand, and a chamberlain guard led Pan Feng out of the Yangxin Hall and left the palace.

…

the next day.

Start in the morning.

All civil and military officials walked into the Golden Palace in order of their official positions.

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, all the civil and military officials knelt down and saluted.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live," the officials shouted.

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials and said softly: "My dear friends, please be free!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up.

"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."

Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice sounded as usual.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

A minister stood up.

In this way, the morning session lasted for more than an hour.

As the morning court came to an end, Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials below and said, "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"

All the civil and military officials below looked at each other, but no one stood up again.

"Since you ladies have nothing to report, I have something to say."

Zhou Chen stood up and walked down the royal road.

"Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we have experienced ups and downs, but the disasters of foreign races have always been a close concern of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Whether it is Xirong from Xiliang, Beidi from northern Xinjiang, or Nanman from southern Xinjiang, their attacks on me, Great Zhou, have never stopped."

"How come I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have been invaded by alien races for many years?"

"Previously, the foreign races outside the Pass jointly attacked our Great Zhou Dynasty. They broke through the Xiongguan Pass in our Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to go south to hunt the Central Plains."

"It's simply a crime worthy of death."

Zhou Chen's deafening voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

"How can we, the great Zhou Dynasty, tolerate such rampant alien races?"

"So, I decided to send troops outside the pass, hunt outside the wall, wipe out the foreign races in one fell swoop, and create a foundation for peace for our great Zhou Dynasty."

After returning to the dragon chair, Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials below and said loudly.

What?

Send troops outside the customs?

The expressions of all the civil and military officials changed, and they looked at Zhou Chen on the dragon throne in disbelief.

You must know that no emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has ever sent troops out to exterminate foreign tribes.

But without exception, they basically all returned in defeat.

None of the civil and military officials expected that Emperor Zhou Chen would suddenly send troops outside the customs to hunt foreigners.

This news can be described as a thunderbolt, which shocked all the civil and military officials.

Only Xiao He, the Minister of War, and other important ministers remained unchanged.

Yesterday, the emperor Zhou Chen summoned them to the palace and held a small court meeting.

In today's morning court, Zhou Chen was just informing the officials.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden to send troops outside the customs!"

"Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, I sent troops outside the customs no less than ten times, but I always returned without success. Not only did I waste people and money, but I basically returned in defeat every time."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

An old minister immediately stood up and said.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"The terrain outside the pass is complex, the environment is harsh, and it is a land of alien races."

"If our Zhou soldiers leave the customs rashly, we will lose both the right time and the right location."

"I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

One by one, veteran ministers stood up and spoke.

These veterans are all loyal ministers and veterans of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are also conservative and stubborn ministers in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Perhaps these veterans had objections to some of the decisions of Emperor Zhou Chen, but they could not deny their loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Chen watched these veterans stand up to object, without any change on his face.

In this court, it is not a one-word affair.

Even the emperor Zhou Chen could not make a decision with just one word.

There are arguments and objections, this is what a court should be like.

Zhou Chen knew this very well.

Zhou Chen looked at Xiao He: "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think about sending troops outside the pass?"

"Your Majesty, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are a mighty and powerful country that dominates the world. Our majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will not be allowed to be provoked."

"A mere alien traitor actually threatened to hunt our Central Plains and invade our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"If I, the Great Zhou, do not fight back and remain indifferent, then where will the majesty of my Great Zhou remain?"

"But sending troops outside the customs is no small matter. I think..."

Xiao He stood up, first stated the reasons for sending troops to counterattack, and then analyzed the matter of sending troops.

All civil and military officials in the court could not help but nodded after hearing this, thinking that what Xiao He said was reasonable.

As Xiao He opened his mouth, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also stood up one after another and agreed with Xiao He, the prime minister.

At this time, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally saw it.

The prime minister and several ministers may have known about this matter for a long time.

Moreover, they had already expressed their anger with each other and agreed to send troops outside the customs this time to hunt aliens.

With Xiao He, the left prime minister, and several ministers coming forward to agree, the matter of sending troops outside the customs was basically finalized.

After all, Xiao He and several ministers are important ministers in the court and the leaders of the officials.

Their words and deeds can influence hundreds of officials and influence the court.

Even if some veterans are still opposed to this matter in their hearts, they can only reserve their opinions in the face of the general trend and cannot change the outcome.

…

Xiliang.

Xijing City.

Zhenxi General Mansion.

Jia Xu looked at the decree that had just been conveyed in his hand, his expression a bit inexplicable.

"Mr. Jia, what did your Majesty say in your decree?"

Zhang Liao, who was standing next to him, saw that Jia Xu's expression was a bit baffling and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Jia Xu raised his head and glanced at Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Xiliang Army anymore."

"Your Majesty has issued a decree, asking me to immediately go to Northern Xinjiang, join the Northern Army, and serve as military counselor."

Jia Xu said and handed the decree in his hand to Zhang Liao.

What?

Your Majesty has issued an order for you to go to Northern Xinjiang?

Zhang Liao was stunned and immediately took over the decree handed over by Jia Xu.

After taking a look, Zhang Liao frowned slightly.

"Why did Your Majesty ask Mr. to go to Northern Xinjiang?"

"You know, there are General Lu and General Gao Shun in Northern Xinjiang, but there is only one general in Xiliang."

"If Mr. Jia leaves Xiliang, then I alone will not be able to shoulder the heavy burden of the Xiliang army."

Zhang Liao said with a puzzled look.

The Zhenbei Army consisted of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Cao Xing.

It can be said that the imperial court has more generals in the Zhenbei Army than in the Xiliang Army.

The Xiliang army only had Zhang Liao and Jia Xu, as well as Song Xian and Cheng Lian who were sent to Xiliang by the imperial court.

If Jia Xu is transferred to the Zhenbei Army, then all the courage of the Xiliang Army will be on Zhang Liao's shoulders.

Zhang Liao really couldn't understand the imperial court's intention.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Now that Xiliang is temporarily stable, General Zhang only needs to continue recruiting troops and marshaling the army to prepare for war."

"With or without me, the impact is not big."

"If I guessed correctly, His Majesty has ordered me to go to Northern Xinjiang to serve as military counselor. I should be sending troops."

"Your Majesty may not be at ease with Northern Xinjiang, so he ordered me to go to Northern Xinjiang."

Zhang Liao frowned even more when he heard this, "Mr. Jia, doesn't your Majesty want to fight on two fronts?"

"Since Northern Xinjiang wants to send troops outside the Pass, then I from Xiliang must also go west from Yumen."

"Your Majesty is not at ease with Northern Xinjiang, but is he at ease with Xiliang?"

Zhang Liao said with a frown.

Northern Xinjiang at least has the existence of Lu Bu, a half-step heavenly man, as well as elites like Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Zhen camp.

Where is he in Xiliang!

If you really want to talk about it, Xiliang should be the most uneasy.

"General Zhang, Your Majesty must have plans for Xiliang."

"If nothing else happens, General Huo from the Shenwu Guard should come to Xiliang."

"General Zhang, don't worry about anything else. The most important thing now is to replenish the Xiliang army as soon as possible and prepare for war."

As a poisonous scholar, Jia Xu had already seen through the court's arrangements.

A two-front battle.

Go out from Yumen in the west and Yanmen in the north.

The commander who left Yumen in the west should be General Huo, otherwise the imperial court would not have ordered him to be transferred to Northern Xinjiang to serve as military counselor.

"General Zhang, after I leave, be careful of some of the remnants of the Marquis of Xiliang."

"Although Xiliang Hou's influence has been almost eliminated, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net."

"Also, General Zhang can now start sending scouts outside the pass."

"Although Dongchang has sent people out of the customs, the army still has to send scouts out in person."

"In this way, we can make it as foolproof as possible."

Jia Xu began to give Zhang Liao some instructions.

After listening to Jia Xu's instructions, Zhang Liao nodded; "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, I will be careful and send scouts out."

"That's good."

"Then I won't do any more delay."

"I'm going to leave for Northern Xinjiang immediately."

Jia Xu stood up, said nothing more, and went to get ready.

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbeicheng.

Zhenbei General Mansion.

Lu Bu also received the imperial decree.

Looking at the imperial decree in his hand, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light.

Sitting under Lu Bu were Gao Shun, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Hou Cheng.

"General, what does the imperial decree say?"

Hao Meng couldn't help but ask.

"Take a look!"

Lu Bu didn't say much, but handed the imperial decree to Gao Shun and the others.

After reading the imperial decree, Gao Shun and the other four's eyes shone brightly.

Lu Bu glanced at Gao Shun and the four of them: "You have all seen the imperial court's decree."

"If there is anything unnecessary, I won't say anything else."

"How many troops do we have in the Zhenbei Army now?"

Lu Bu's eyes stopped on Gao Shun.

Gao Shun's injuries have recovered, and Lu Bu has never liked to take care of trivial matters in the army.

Therefore, Gao Shun is now managing all the trivial matters of the Zhenbei Army.

"General, after recruiting and supplementing during this period, our Zhenbei Army now has 150,000 troops."

"There are thirty thousand cavalry."

Gao Shun stood up and reported.

One hundred and fifty thousand?

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

An army of 150,000 people sounds like a lot.

But the Zhenbei Army previously had an army of 300,000 people.

Now there are only 150,000. After this period of continuous recruitment and replenishment, it has reached half of the soldiers and horses of the previous Zhenbei Army at its peak.

"General, the foreign tribes in Beidi are wreaking havoc on the cities in northern Xinjiang, causing many casualties."

"This recruitment of additional troops is now our best effort."

"It is simply impossible to replenish the previous 300,000 troops in a short time."

Cao Xing stood up and said.

After hearing this, Lu Bu didn't say anything more. He looked at Gao Shun and the four of them and said, "Pass this general to the army and start preparing for war from now on."

"As soon as the reinforcements and orders from the imperial court arrive, we will leave the border and hunt outside the Great Wall."

As soon as Lu Bu said these words.

The four of them, Gao Shun below, were all shocked.

As a general, being able to go out to hunt outside the Great Wall and wipe out foreign races is definitely what every general dreams of.

Gao Shun and Hao Meng are no exception.

"As commanded."

Gao Shun and Cao Xing all said in unison.

Lu Bu looked at Hao Meng again and said, "General Hao, you personally lead the scouts out of the pass and explore as clearly as possible the terrain outside the pass and the situation of the foreign tribes in Beidi."

Although there was support from Dongchang's news, Lu Bu still had to send someone out personally to feel relieved.

"The general will obey his orders."

Hao Meng accepted the order with his hands raised.

"Go for it!"

"Let's prepare according to the general's orders!"

Lu Bu waved his hand.

Then, Gao Shun and Cao Xing all turned around and left the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
