Chapter 651 General Pingxi!

The detailed battle report was sent back, shocking the capital!

Who would have thought that a young master from a rich family whom no one was optimistic about would have such a record!

"I really didn't see him wrong!"

In the Chuigong Palace, Emperor Zhao Jiang Chengli looked at the battle report. He read it in detail and never missed every word.

This is a real battle report.

It was brought back by the spies he sent.

There is no omission!

Every step from Wang Kang to Feng'an City has been recorded in detail.

I have already sent people to meet him, but he stayed here for the sake of the city people's resistance to the decree, which has exceeded his expectations.

There are still such victories!

Empty city plan!

Such an empty city plan scared the commanders of the three armies of the Yue Kingdom and dared not enter.

One can imagine what kind of scene it was at that time, even the calm Jiang Chengli was excited!

According to rumors from the palace, His Majesty, who has been frowning since the chaos, drank a few cups for an unprecedented time...

Morning the next day.

Jiang Chengli issued a decree, appointing Wang Kang as the general of Pingxi, in charge of the entire northwest war, controlling the local army and civilians, and having the authority to recruit troops!

This is the right to be big!

In wartime, it is comparable to the responsibility of the governor of the province!

And Wang Kang thus broke the record and became the youngest general of Pingxi since the founding of Zhao Guo!

Of course, there are voices of opposition.

When Wang Kang was still the master of the host and guest, he was crazy. If he became General Pingxi, wouldn't he be lawless?

But Jiang Chengli pushed back with just one sentence, and if you have the ability, go and kill more than [-] Vietnamese troops.

All the court ministers were suddenly speechless.

Great victory, of course.

But the overall bad situation has not improved much.

The Vietnamese army has not been eliminated, and the suppression of the rebellion in the northern provinces is still going on. At this difficult time, the Yan State is attacking again, and the border is in a hurry!

Yan State is in the south of Zhao State and borders Xishan Province.

And the south is also the economic center of Zhao State. The land is fertile, silk weaving, salt and iron are developed...

If it is invaded, the loss is too great.

At the mention of this, the court, which was still somewhat lively, fell into a serious illness again.

Yan State is not considered a big country, and its national strength is even worse than that of Zhao State.

But if the current state of Zhao is a broken sieve, exposed everywhere, the mess in the west has not been cleaned up.

How can it be possible to have the energy, material resources, and financial resources to start a third front?

The situation is still not optimistic.

Facing a group of ministers, Jiang Chengli asked: "Dear dear ministers, do you have any good suggestions?"

"According to my opinion, it is better to send envoys to talk with Yan State, negotiate compensation and cede the land, and suspend the situation."

"What Master Lian said is very true."

"Stop mentioning this!"

Jiang Chengli waved his hand directly and said: "I have already said, no compensation, no land, no marriage."

"However, Your Majesty, the current situation is that we have no more troops to deploy. Not long ago, we only recruited 20 troops to attack Liu Zhang. If we continue to force the conscripts, I am afraid that there will be too much resentment among the people, and it will be difficult to keep up with the military supplies!"

"Actually, there are still soldiers."

At this time, a minister said: "Besides the capital, there are four city defense troops defending the capital. They are all well-organized and elite. It is better to send two to the front line to defend against Yan."

"My minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

All the ministers are admonitions.

This is the only force available at present.

"This is impossible."

Wu Zhirong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said: "The four city defense forces are the last line of defense to defend the capital. If they are called out, what will be the safety of the capital?"

North Korean and Chinese officials talked endlessly.

Jiang Chengli coughed lightly, and turned to an old man who was the head of many ministers.

This old man was already seventy years old, with a gray beard, cloudy eyes, and loose and wrinkled skin on his face.

Others were discussing enthusiastically, but he looked drowsy.

He is the right minister Gongsun Bo.

He was also the prime minister of the former dynasty and the minister of the arm.

Hearing Jiang Chengli's question, Gongsun Bo's turbid eyes flashed a gleam, and then he walked into the hall and said in a low voice: "According to the old minister's opinion, the four city defense forces in the capital should not be mobilized until they are all ready. It is better to delegate power." To Zhang Ao, Marquis of Xuanping, he will be the general."

"Recruit soldiers from the prefectures of Xishan Province to take charge of the military."

"Prelude!"

Jiang Chengli said: "Just do what the right minister said. Zhang Ao has served as the Governor of Xishan Province for many years. He has outstanding abilities. I believe he will not disappoint me."
