Chapter 144 Target: South Vietnam
Cheng Yaojin looked at Yu Zhi’s gesture, narrowed his eyes, and then slowly stretched out two fingers!
Yu Zhigan shook his head slightly, then pointed to the direction of the Eastern Palace, and finally stretched out three more fingers. Cheng Yaojin glared at his eyes, and finally nodded slowly, agreeing to Yu Zhigan's conditions.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Duke Wu saw it all and did not express any opinions. After the two reached a consensus, they joined in with a smile and began to discuss the newly opened brothel that Cheng Yaojin mentioned.
"It's exciting to think about it when I go to the brothel with my two father-in-law. If I pull my father, I..." Yu Zhigan suddenly had a bold idea!
In the hall, a group of people entered the hall and saw the emperor covering his mouth with a frown. When they saw Yu Zhigan and others coming in, they slightly adjusted the expression on their faces.
"As long as Father, Your Majesty!"
The emperor waved his hand and said nothing, signaling Wu Sangui to hand over the memorial in his hand. Cheng Yaojin and others passed it through one by one. After Yu Zhigan read the content of the memorial, he roughly knew what his father was going to do and was preparing to launch troops against the South Vietnamese!
There has been no news about the affairs of Nanyue before. Yu Zhigan thought it had been revealed, but he did not expect that his father would send someone to investigate secretly. After everything was clear, he would decide to take action.
Looking at his father, Yu Zhigan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his father's scheming is really deep enough. The temptation of the South Vietnam Kingdom is so big that he has endured it so far, especially this year is still in the disaster year.
"Everyone, let's talk!"
The emperor spoke slowly, but the voice was not loud.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned red. Looking at the contents of the memorial, his hands trembled slightly: "The rice that is ripe three times a year is full of food, and I can't finish it? How could there be such a place in the world!"
Yu Zhichang didn't understand how important food is to this group of people, and he didn't feel much. However, Cheng Yaojin and other people were all natives of this era and had not enough food to eat. Even if it was a prosperous era, at most, the granary was full of food, and the people's surplus food was not much, so don't mention it when they were in a disaster year.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead 10,000 troops and destroy the South Vietnam!"
Cheng Yaojin directly asked for the order, while the other ministers did not object at all. Officials of the Ministry of Revenue had even begun to calculate how many troops it would take to send troops to the South Vietnamese country, how much food and grass it would need, and how much money would the Ministry of Revenue take out this year.
As for the Ministry of Works, the craftsmen that have been calculated and so on, no one has opposed the use of troops.
After seeing this, the emperor did not speak, but looked at Yu Zhigan and asked about Yu Zhigan's meaning.
"The father, the emperor and his sons agree to use military force against the South Vietnamese. The envoys of the South Vietnamese state paid tribute to drugs and wanted to poison the father. If they are not destroyed, they may be laughed at by the world!"
Yu Zhigan gave the emperor a reason. Although it had been about half a year since the incident, his master was famous!
The emperor nodded: "What advice do you have for sending troops to the South Vietnam?"
"Father, sons are not in military affairs!"
Yu Zhigan was telling the truth. The last time he went to Dengzhou with Xing Daorong to quell the rebellion, Yu Zhigan understood why a good army became a croaker when a military person didn't understand. There were too many things inside, from camping, scouts to explore, etc., there were knowledge about everything, and Yu Zhigan didn't even understand the superficial ones.
"The country of Nanyue has many forests and dense trees, and there is still miasma. Although it is just a small country, if you want to destroy it, you need to be more cautious!"
"Don't worry, your Majesty, give the old minister ten thousand soldiers and horses, and you will definitely siege the South Vietnamese Kingdom!"
Cheng Yaojin asked for a fight again, Yu Zhigan thought about it, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "Father, my son doesn't know much about the South Vietnamese Kingdom, but it's not difficult if he wants to destroy the South Vietnamese Kingdom, but it will take some time to prepare!"
"oh?"
The emperor's eyes lit up and looked at Yu Zhigan. The reason why he did not rashly agree to Cheng Yaojin to launch troops before was because of the terrain of the South Vietnamese country mentioned in the memorial. Yu Ye had also led his troops to fight. He knew that Cheng Yaojin was invincible on the grassland, but after going to the south, he might fall down the first one.
In history, Li Er led an army of 200,000 to the south, and was finally defeated by a southern man named Lu Ren Jia Dudu led less than 30,000 troops...
"Father, most of our generals in the dynasty are northerners. If they conquer the south, they may not adapt to the local conditions!"
"What does it mean to be unacceptable to the local environment?"
"Well, how do you say it? After going to another place alone, you can't get used to eating and sleep well. In addition, for some other reasons, if you are mild, you will vomit and diarrhea, and if you are worse, you may be bedridden. So it is not appropriate to use the Sixteen Guards Ma Nanzheng!"
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin glared at Yu Zhi and secretly stretched out four fingers, hoping that Yu Zhigan would support him.
Yu Zhigan directly ignored Cheng Yaojin. This thing was not a matter of how many times he went to brothels, but was related to the lives of thousands of people. Yu Zhigan didn't dare to joke.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded: "There is indeed such a matter. Occasionally, officials will go to the south to work. They died of illness shortly after taking office. It turns out that they are not suitable for the local environment. Can the prince have a way?"
Yu Zhigan shook his head: "This kind of unacceptable environment and local conditions do not know how to treat it, but it can allow soldiers to adapt in advance. Generally, after a month, they will roughly adapt to the local climate!"
"Then let the sergeant adapt to the south first?"
After hearing this, Yu Zhigan shook his head: "The people of Nanyue are short and flexible in the woods and mountains. The people of northerners enter the woods and may not be their opponents!"
Hearing Yu Zhigan's words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but jump out: "Your Highness, the State of Nanyue is just a small country,..."
"Duke Cheng, although Nanyue is a small country, we can despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically. You are a general, and you should know better than this palace. What kind of price will you pay if you look down on your opponent!"
Cheng Yaojin was beaten by Yu Zhi, his face turned red, but he could not refute. The emperor nodded and agreed with Yu Zhigan's point of view: "What a strategic contempt for the enemy and tactical attention to the enemy. Since that's the case, what advice does the prince have?"
Yu Zhigan thought about some things he knew in his mind. After thinking for a long time, Yu Zhigan looked at his father: "Father, the emperor, and the sons felt that there were not only the South Vietnamese country but also other small countries. The sons felt that it was not weak to set up a new army to deal with the southern countries. The soldiers selected from Lingnan Road and then selected a general. After training for half a year, the South Vietnamese country could be pacified!"
After hearing Yu Zhigan's words, the emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Zhigan. It was indeed a good suggestion. He slowly looked at Jing Ke not far away: "Can the Jinyiwei lose money in Lingnan?"
"I heard from Your Majesty that when the Jinyiwei investigated the Nanyue Kingdom, twenty-three secret spies died in a foreign land. The symptoms before death were as the prince said..."
"Get out!"
The emperor thought for a while and had already turned to Yu Zhigan's idea, but the problem followed. The establishment of a new army involves a lot. Now, if there is one more guard in the sixteen guards, the balance maintained will be broken.
No matter who is in power, it is not good news for the emperor. He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and looked at Yu Zhigan, who was making gestures with Cheng Yaojin, as if he was bargaining. If he gave the prince to another guard...
The prince already had ten commands, with about 80,000 soldiers, and was stationed near Chang'an. If one more was controlled, Yu Ye suddenly became happy when he thought of this. If the prince was really ambitious to rebel and could succeed, it might not be a good thing.
Yu Ye couldn't help but feel relieved. He had already made an idea and looked at Yu Zhigan: "In the heart of the prince, can he recommend the new army general?"
"ah?"
Yu Zhigan was stunned for a moment. He was about to go to the brothel with Cheng Yaojin and Duke Wu. Yu Zhi always made some suggestions, and then he became a little transparent person. Why do you still ask yourself about this kind of thing today?
Does the Yutang Empire lack generals? The Yutang Empire lacks everything, but there is no general. Not to mention losing one piece and turning one's head, you can hit a talented guard of the Eastern Palace. Even if you meet a date seller on the street, you might be called Guan Yu, or a dog-killer named Fan Kuai.
"The new army suggestions you put forward can have the right candidate in your mind!"
The emperor spoke again. This time, Cheng Yaojin and Duke Wu, who slowly entered the hall, were sleeping with their eyes squinting, and all looked at Yu Zhigan. The emperor wanted to give the new army to the crown prince!
The prince holds the power of a guard, and it has never appeared in the history of the Yutang Empire. As expected, the prince is the emperor's favorite prince, and the ridiculous second prince actually...
Yu Zhigan didn't think too much, but simply thought that his father had selective difficulties, and might be worried because there were too many military generals in the court.
Xue Rengui? Yu Zhi thought about it and let it go. This guy seemed to be the result of the Western Expedition, and he was also a general. The southern terrain was too unfriendly to him, and he was too strong and easy to get stuck in the tree!
Chen Qingzhi seemed to be the same. After thinking for a while, a person's name appeared in Yu Zhigan's mind. Su Dingguo, although this guy seemed to have fought in the north in history, he seemed to have been to the south.
But none of these matters. What matters is that this guy can destroy the country. This guy has a nickname called Su Demon Kingdom. He went to fight against the South Vietnamese mainly to destroy the South Vietnamese and the small countries in Southeast Asia. In terms of destruction, it seems that no one in the East Palace is his opponent.
When I was suppressing the rebellion in Dengzhou, Yu Zhigan also saw this guy's military ability. It was really good. In addition, he was relatively short among the generals and was suitable for serving as commander in the new army.
