Chapter 85 How to resolve the issues in the four northern continents?

In the Jinluan Palace.

The murderous intent that erupted from the emperor Zhou Chen made all civil and military officials shudder.

In the knowledge of all officials, Emperor Zhou Chen has never revealed such strong murderous intent in the court since he ascended the throne.

Obviously, the annihilation of the 30,000 divine military guards and the death of Grand Master Wen Zhong in battle offended the most sensitive nerves of the emperor.

This made the emperor really angry.

Many officials were thinking that since the emperor Zhou Chen had fully recovered from his health and had eliminated the party of relatives represented by Queen Wu Ying and General Wu Jin, the emperor's majesty had become stronger and stronger.

In the past, they didn't feel much pressure on Zhou Chen.

But now, they felt not only pressure from Zhou Chen, but also a trace of fear.

After receiving the order, Cao Zhengchun next to him cast a gentle glance at the civil and military officials below.

Cao Zhengchun knew that since Dongchang carried out a large-scale purge in the palace, and was responsible for ransacking the homes of more than 20 officials including the general's palace, these civil and military officials had a strong opinion of Dongchang.

But so what?

As long as the person on the dragon throne has no objection to their Dongchang.

As for other people, Cao Zhengchun didn't care at all.

After Zhou Chen gave such an order to Cao Zhengchun, he looked at the civil and military officials with a cold face: "All my dear friends have read these urgent letters from the four northern continents."

"Now, my dear friends, please tell me, how should we resolve the issues in the four northern continents?"

"There is also the matter of Huang Tianjiao rebelling against thieves. How should we deal with it?"

Zhou Chen looked at the civil and military officials and asked.

Zhou Chen knew that he summoned all the officials to go to court not to question them about Huang Tianjiao.

Instead, we need to discuss solutions to these matters in the four northern states.

As soon as Zhou Chen's words fell behind, the mighty commander of the generals stood up directly.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight."

"Now that the situation in the four northwest prefectures has been clarified."

"The Grand Master died at the hands of the demons from the Huang Tian Sect, and my entire army of 30,000 gods from the Northern Camp, Wu Erlang, was wiped out at the hands of Huang Tian's army."

"Then I will ask for a battle. I am willing to lead a large army to the four northern continents to wipe out the Huangtian Sect rebels in one fell swoop for the imperial court."

"I also want to recover this blood debt for the Grand Master and my 30,000-god Wu Erlang in Beiying."

The mighty prince raised his hand and asked for battle.

Previously, because the situation in the four northwest prefectures was unclear, Marquis Weiwu did not say anything for the time being.

But now, the situation in the four northwest prefectures has been found out. Grand Master Wen Zhong and the 30,000 Shenwu Guards all died at the hands of the demons of the Huangtian Sect.

So as the mighty warrior who is now in charge of the Beiying Shenwu Guards, he must stand up and ask for a fight to avenge the 30,000 Shenwu Guards and Grand Master Wen Zhong.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight."

"A mere demon from the Huangtian Sect actually dared to raise a flag to rebel, kill my old master of the Optimus Pillar of Great Zhou, and also destroy my 30,000 elite divine warriors."

"It's simply a crime that cannot be punished."

"If we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, do not immediately send troops to exterminate these rebels, how will our majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, survive?"

…

As the mighty lord asked for a fight, other generals also stepped forward and asked for a fight.

Grand Master Wen Zhong was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and had a profound influence among military generals.

Now that the Grand Master Wen Zhong died in the hands of the demons of the Huangtian Sect, and the Thirty Thousand Gods Wu'erlang was also defeated in the hands of Huang Tianjun, these generals will naturally stand up to avenge the Grand Master Wen Zhong and the Thirty Thousand Gods Wu'erlang.

Besides, for generals, being able to fight on the battlefield is a dream.

Seeing the military generals standing up to ask for a fight, Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but looked at the civil officials headed by Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Raising troops has been no small matter since ancient times.

As the saying goes, use martial arts as a plant and literature as a seed.

Zhou Chen knew what the general meant, so Zhou Chen wanted to see if the civil servants had any good suggestions.

"Your Majesty, I have always felt that engaging in war without permission is an important matter for the country."

"But now, rebels are rising all over the four northern states. They are trapping the people and attacking cities and territories. Many prefectures have been captured by them."

"If these rebels cannot be eradicated in time, it may cause serious trouble."

"Especially the demons of the Huangtian Sect are the best at deceiving people. They have captured most of the Yongyou Prefecture and become the largest rebel in the four northern prefectures. They also killed the Grand Master Wen Zhong and destroyed the thirty thousand divine warriors in our court.

guard."

"If our Great Zhou Court does not immediately send a large army to destroy them, then the majesty of our Great Zhou Court will be gone."

"Therefore, the veteran believes that we should immediately mobilize the army to go to the four northern states to wipe out the rebels."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo stood up and spoke loudly and forcefully.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the Prime Minister's opinion."

"The imperial court should immediately mobilize the army to destroy these rebels."

"Otherwise, the lands around the north will be in danger, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger."

The Minister of Hubu stood up and agreed with Prime Minister Yuan Bo's opinion.

Immediately afterwards, civil servants such as the Minister of War, the Eight Wise Kings, and the Minister of Punishment also stood up to give advice.

Their intention was the same as that of the generals, which was to immediately send troops to the areas around the north to exterminate the rebels.

This is the general trend.

Zhou Chen saw that the civil servants had the same intention as the generals, so he nodded and said, "Since all my dear friends want to immediately mobilize the army to put down the rebels, then who do you think is the right person to lead the troops to the four northern states?"

?”

"How many soldiers and horses should be mobilized by the Twelve Shenwu Guards for the expedition?"

Zhou Chen asked the officials.

This is the focus of the discussion.

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, all the officials frowned.

Nowadays, there are many rebels in the four northern states, especially Huang Tianjun of Huangtian Sect is the most powerful, followed by Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian, who also has hundreds of thousands of mercenaries in Daizhou rebelling.

In addition to these two largest groups of rebels, there are more than a dozen other large and small rebel groups.

If less troops are mobilized, it will not be enough to wipe out these rebels.

But if too many troops are mobilized, Luoyang's defense will be empty.

After all, the Twelve Shenwu Guards have now killed 30,000 Shenwu Guards, leaving only the Eleventh Guards with more than 300,000 troops.

The choice of generals is also particularly important.

As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted.

If the generals who go out to counter the rebellion are not chosen well, then the whole army will be exhausted, let alone the counter-insurgency.

If General Wu Jin and Grand Master Wen Zhong were present, then these two generals would undoubtedly be the best choice to lead the troops to quell the rebellion.

But now, General Wu Jin and Grand Master Wen Zhong are both dead.

Then only Weiwuhou is suitable.

After all, Wei Wuhou was also a famous veteran. He followed Grand Master Wen Zhong and fought countless battles in his life. His prestige in the army was very high, second only to Grand Master Wen Zhong.

Otherwise, when Grand Master Wen Zhong went to the four prefectures in the northwest, he would not have allowed Marquis Wei Wu to take charge of the Six Guards of Shenwu in the Beiying.
