"Come here, send troops to the border immediately." His Majesty the Emperor ordered.

No matter how angry he was, he still had to make a decision when it was time to make it. Because of Li Yuangu's death, the position of the Minister of War was vacant. His Majesty the Emperor has not appointed a new Minister of War until now, but he "served concurrently" and directly issued orders to those generals.

His Majesty the Emperor also knew that there were many people eyeing the position of the Minister of War, and those generals eyeing this position were more or less supported by some aristocratic families behind them. His Majesty the Emperor knew this, so he kept dragging this matter. Those aristocratic families were already intertwined in the Dalu Dynasty and had a great influence. He didn't want those people to put their hands in the army again.

Li Yuangu didn't have the background of aristocratic families before, and His Majesty the Emperor trusted him before, but he was a waste with limited ability.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor did not know that the pass had been taken down by the rebel forces and had changed hands. He did not expect that a border city would be taken down so quickly. In his opinion, even if there was a shortage of soldiers and the city defense was in tatters, there were still troops there, and some of the city defenses could be used. In addition, they were facing the rebel forces with low combat effectiveness, not the elite Feng Jue country's army, so it should be no problem to hold on for a while.

Even His Majesty the Emperor was still planning in his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the rebel forces in one fell swoop. He was going to start to wipe out the rebel forces. Now, those people gathered together, which just gave him this opportunity. As long as the defenders in the city hold on for a while, once the reinforcements arrive, they can attack from both sides and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor felt a little more comfortable. He didn't care about these rebel forces at first, but they kept causing trouble, so he had to treat them as a top priority.

However, the emperor obviously didn't know that the rebels had already taken down the pass, and the original garrison commander had already abandoned the city and fled. There was no one to join forces with his reinforcements.

The emperor looked at Wu Yan and said, "Minister Wu, you have always been in charge of suppressing the rebels. After so much time, why are they still so arrogant? Moreover, they have already started to think about attacking the city. Do you want to see them fight to the imperial capital and drive me out of this position?"

Although Wu Yan is already one of the ministers who is capable and can help him share the pressure, the emperor doesn't mind taking this opportunity to give him a warning. After all, the Wu family is also a noble family and a royal relative. They have a great influence in the imperial capital and even the entire Dalu Dynasty. Although the emperor trusts Wu Yan, he also doesn't want the Wu family to be too powerful and affect the royal family.

It is still necessary to strike appropriately. Besides, Wu Yan has always been in charge of this matter. Now the rebel forces are so arrogant, it is obvious that Wu Yan is not good at suppressing the bandits. His Majesty said this to him, it is not wrong to accuse him.

"I am guilty." Wu Yan knelt down hurriedly with a look of panic, and said: "Since I received this task, I have been committed to this matter, but these rebels have been formed for a long time, have a deep foundation, and are cunning and cunning. It is really difficult to deal with them. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have found out their movements and grasped their strength. They will be completely destroyed in a few days."

Wu Yan's words are true and false. Since he took on the task of suppressing the rebels, he is indeed very concerned. Before, when Li Yuangu was still there, Wu Yan wanted to reach out to the military system, but was discovered by Li Yuangu, who also used the necessary trust to eliminate some of his forces, which reduced Wu Yan's influence in the army a lot.

However, now Li Yuangu is dead, and most importantly, there is no candidate for the Minister of War. This is Wu Yan's chance. At this time, he received the task of suppressing the rebels. How could he be willing to miss it? He is now the actual "acting Minister of War", and he is also using this opportunity to continuously insert people into the army. After all, this task was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, and no one else dared to complain. Moreover, there is no Minister of War to hinder him, so it is more convenient for Wu Yan to insert people.

However, Wu Yan also knows that the matter of suppressing the rebels is a major event of the court. If he can't do it, he will be replaced by His Majesty the Emperor at any time. In that case, it will not be so convenient for him to insert people into the army. Moreover, if there is a new candidate to take charge of this matter, even those who he has inserted before will be eliminated, which is obviously not what he wants to see.

At the same time, if the new candidate performs well, he may even be promoted to the Minister of War. This is not what Wu Yan wants. Therefore, he is very concerned about the suppression of the rebels. He wants to produce some results to let the Emperor know that he is not only good at literature, but also can manage the "military" aspects. If there are military affairs in the future, he will have a great say

However, there is some moisture in what Wu Yan just said, that is, he has not achieved much success in annihilating the rebels, and he has not yet figured out the true strength of those rebels. Only when he really starts When he took charge of this matter, he realized what Li Yuangu was in trouble for before.

Nowadays, the local army is seriously starved of pay, and the army also lacks training. It's okay to let them stay in the city, but really let them

They took the initiative to attack, but it was difficult and had no great effect. Several times he tried to attack the rebel forces, but failed.

However, it was really hard for Wu Yan to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this situation because Li Yuangu had reacted to this situation before. At that time, Wu Yan was standing on the opposite side of Li Yuangu, refuting Li Yuangu's statement and saying that he was shirking responsibility. , if I tell His Majesty the Emperor now that what Li Yuangu said before is true, what will His Majesty the Emperor think of me?

Therefore, Wu Yan did not dare to tell the truth to His Majesty the Emperor. He could only slowly think of ways to find opportunities to destroy those rebel forces.

"Find out their movements? Now that they have gathered at the border, do we still need to find out their movements? They have blatantly begun to attack my city." His Majesty the Emperor said.

"Wei Chen is guilty."

"Okay, don't be guilty. You are guilty. I know that you are a civil servant, and you are somewhat incapable of being responsible for such military affairs. If you feel that you are in trouble, I can replace you." His Majesty the Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, please give Wei Chen another chance. Wei Chen will definitely wipe out all the rebel forces this time." Wu Yan said quickly. He was really afraid of what he was going to get. His Majesty the Emperor actually had the idea of ​​replacing him. This made Wu Yan He was a little nervous. It would be okay if he had not been responsible for this matter before. The key was that he was already responsible for this matter. Now he was reluctant to let it go.

Moreover, if he is replaced now, it will leave an unfavorable impression on His Majesty the Emperor, which will be even more unfavorable to him.

"Okay, I will trust you again, and I hope you will not disappoint me." His Majesty the Emperor said.

There is nothing His Majesty can do about this, because there are not many people he trusts and are capable in the entire court. Some capable generals in the past also followed Li Yuangu to the border. The result is Not many came back.

Moreover, for so many years, the army has been unable to defeat Feng Jueguo, which has also made His Majesty the Emperor lose confidence in the military generals. He wants to train new generals to prepare for the future war with Feng Jueguo. However, It takes time for new generals to grow up. If we let them come out and take charge now, it will be harming them, not helping them.

Therefore, at this time, there are not many people that His Majesty the Emperor can rely on, and Wu Yan is one of them. He wants to continue to let Wu Yan take the lead in this matter, and then keep the generals he wants to train under his command. Take the opportunity to destroy the rebels and train them well so that they can grow up as quickly as possible.

"Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will live up to your majesty's trust and will definitely wipe out all those rebels." Wu Yan said.

His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said no more.

On the other side, outside the pass, the bride-to-be escort team was advancing slowly. They did not know what was happening behind them, nor did they know that the pass had changed hands. They did not know that those from the rebel forces were about to catch up. .

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire send-off team was relatively relaxed. After all, the armies of Dalu Dynasty and Feng Jueguo had merged together. They were also a powerful force outside the pass. There were occasional horse thieves outside the pass, but , as long as those horse thieves' minds are not broken, they will never provoke them, otherwise, it will definitely be a dead end.

The happiest people are the businessmen who follow the team. They are safe and can occasionally do business, especially those who sell food. They make a lot of money along the way. The soldiers from Feng Jueguo and Dalu Dynasty who were in the procession had more or less money in their hands. Naturally, the dry food they ate while on the way was not as delicious as the food in the hands of the merchants. Therefore, along the way, , people kept buying food from merchants, which made those selling food a huge profit, and also made other merchants jealous, regretting that they had not thought of this situation.
