The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 453

[Chapter 453 Two thousand elites are enough]

nourish the heart and Nuan Pavilion.

Fang Xiu stood upright and bowed respectfully: “I see your Majesty.”

Emperor Chu was reading the memorial. Hearing his voice, he raised his eyes, looked at him, and said, “Sit down first.”

” Thank you, Your Majesty.”

A eunuch moved a chair next to him. After Fang Xiu sat down, he heard Emperor Chu say, “You must have heard about the incident in the southwest, right?” Fang

Xiu

said, “I have heard about it a little bit.”

He nodded and said in a deep voice: “I really didn’t expect that just because of some petty gains, Mu Lin would form an alliance with the Qiyan tribe, our old enemy of Da Chu, and launch a pincer attack on our Da Chu from the north and the south. It is really a wolf-hearted thing. “

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression didn’t change at all, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

As the saying goes, if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked.

The problem of chieftains has been basically solved, and the existence of Duke Qian has no meaning.

At this time, removing the Duke of Guizhou from the position of general in the important town is not to tell people openly that the court does not need you. You should be more peaceful in the future, put away your minions and be the court’s lackey.

Now that things have come to this, aren’t we still allowed to fight to the death?

However, at this time, the truth cannot be told.

Fang Xiu looked at the old emperor and said, “Your Majesty, the Mu family’s wild ambitions and taking advantage of the southwest will eventually lead to disaster. At this time, Mu Lin’s rebellion may not be a bad thing.”

Emperor Chu heard this and looked at him, There was an expression of interest on his face and he asked, “Oh, what do you mean by this?”

Fang Xiu explained: “Your Majesty, since the Mu family is so ambitious and has already rebelled, no matter what the court does, the Mu family will definitely raise an army. Rebellion.

They chose such a time to rebel. On the surface, they cut off the imperial court’s retreat, making it impossible for the imperial court to prevent the Qiyan tribe from unifying the grassland. In fact, this was true

even if they were ministers

.

They don’t admit that this strategy is very clever.

As long as they hold back the imperial court and wait for the Qiyan tribe to unify the grassland, they can attack from the north and the south.

But

what they didn’t expect is that the imperial court has Shenji Camp.

With the power of punishment, the imperial court did not need to send too many soldiers to block the Mu family in the southwest. In this way, the main force of the imperial court could take advantage of the situation and move northward, cutting off the retreat of the Qiyan tribe, forming an encirclement with the rest of the grassland tribes, and annihilating them in one fell swoop. Qi Yan Department.

The troubles in the grassland can be solved! At that time, the Mu family will be like a small fish in the mud after the rain. Even if the court does not do anything, the Mu family will fail to

unite with the grassland

.

, is already a big taboo. Although the people in the southwest are favored by the Mu family, they are still the people of Dachu in their hearts.

As long as the news of the grassland incident spreads back to the southwest, the people’s hearts will definitely change, and it is only a matter of time before the Mu family collapses. .”

After hearing this, Emperor Chu’s expression did not change much.

He had heard this argument more than once, and Ma Wenhua, the former Minister of War, also told him the same thing.

However, if all of this is to be realized, it must be based on one premise, that is, the power of ‘Heavenly Punishment’ is really as they say, and it can easily stop the Mu family in the southwest.

“In your opinion, how many soldiers should be sent south to quell the rebellion?”

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu and asked.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, “In my opinion, two thousand elites are enough!”

As soon as he said this, Emperor Chu’s brows subconsciously raised.

Can two thousand elites stop Mu’s 100,000 army in the southwest?

These words are too shocking. If spread, it will definitely cause a sensation.

Not to mention others, even Emperor Chu, who had great trust in him, felt it was too unreliable after hearing this.

If those officials in the imperial court heard it, the entire Nuan Pavilion would be filled with memorials to impeach “Xin Anbo’s great success”.

“Ahem!”

Emperor Chu coughed twice, looked at Fang Xiu, and reminded: “The Mu family has one hundred thousand soldiers.”

“I know

more than that, I also know that half of the Mu family’s one hundred thousand soldiers are Elites.

The other half of this half are soldiers from the original important towns. They have been fighting with the southwestern chieftains all year round. They can be said to be the

elites of the five towns in the north. Even if they leave Ma, they may not be able to fight with them.

They have been trained in the mountains all year round and have experienced the baptism of Tusi Wolf Soldiers. They are brave and good at fighting. If there is any shortcoming, the only shortcoming is that there are not many cavalry. Only 5,000 of the 100,000 are cavalry

.

When going north, they have to pass through the plains of the Southeast and Jiangnan Roads.

Even so, the imperial court must dispatch at least 20,000 heavy cavalry to ensure that Mu’s 100,000 soldiers cannot capture many cities in the Southeast and South Roads. “

The Emperor of Chu originally thought that Fang Xiu was ignorant and fearless, and did not know Mu’s strength, so he dared to speak nonsense and threatened to use two thousand to block one hundred thousand.

But after hearing his words, she understood that Fang Xiu’s understanding of the Mu family was probably as good as that of some officials in the Ministry of War.

In this case, why was he so sure that only two thousand elites were enough to resist the Mu clan’s one hundred thousand rebels.

“In this case, how dare you assert that two thousand elites can stop the Mu family from going north?”

Emperor Chu leaned forward, frowned slightly, and looked at Fang Xiu sitting in front of him.

When Fang Xiu heard this question, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he replied: “I have confidence in Shenji Camp and Heaven’s Punishment.”

“I have seen the power of Heaven’s Punishment. It is indeed extraordinary, but it may not be as good as yours.” What you said has such a big effect.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he shook his head gently and said.

When Tianpu was successfully developed, the Emperor of Chu, several pavilion elders, and the Minister of War were all present.

That huge pit still exists in the mind of Emperor Chu, and the memory is profound.

But he knew in his heart that although the power of this heavenly punishment was huge, it might not be as effective.

First of all, the target of Heavenly Punishment is too large and easy to be discovered.

Since it is easy to be discovered, it is also easy to be avoided, so the effect is not as expected.

Therefore, in the early stages of the war between the two sides, the role of natural punishment may be greater than expected.

As long as Mu’s rebels understand what Heaven’s Punishment is and are familiar with its principles and power, their effect will be very limited.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at Emperor Chu and cupped his hands and said, “I think your Majesty has underestimated the power of heaven’s punishment.” When

Liu Cheng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

He has been in the position of Supervisor of Ceremonies for so many years and has been with His Majesty for more than twenty years. This is the first time that he has seen someone dare to contradict His Majesty like this.

This new Amber is really amazing.

Emperor Chu was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, “Oh? Could it be that the Shenji Battalion has developed a new type of heavenly punishment?”
