Chapter 399 Promotion
Zhao Chongxiu nodded slightly. The barbarian tribes were nothing to be afraid of!
"Young General, that's not the case. If Donglin is unprepared, the aggressive attack from the Jin Dynasty will inevitably cause considerable losses," Mu Yun retorted.
Jiang Yue looked at Chen Yuan calmly, and the look in her eyes made Chen Yuan feel confused.
The next moment, Jiang Yue said:
"I think that although the alliance between the tribes of the Great Jin Dynasty seems to be very powerful, they are only a temporary alliance after all, and there must be many contradictions."
"The tribes around the Great Jin did not really submit to the Great Jin. They were just coerced and lured by the Great Jin and wanted to divide up the land to the east of us."
When the court officials heard this, they thought it made sense.
Emperor Zhao Chongxiu's eyes flashed with admiration.
"Does the young general have any countermeasures?"
Jiang Yue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although I am from the border, General Chen is devoted to serving the country."
"Dajin is not as strong as Beiyan. If we send General Chen to attack Dajin and its surrounding tribes, we can divide and disintegrate their alliance. As long as we promise appropriate benefits to the tribes and let them know that there is no benefit in following Dajin, they will withdraw. After that, we can strengthen the border defense, and Dajin will not be a threat anymore."
After these words were spoken, there was silence in the court.
Zhao Chongxiu secretly thought about Jiang Yue's proposal. The analysis was very logical and seemed feasible to him.
Chen Yuan was naturally extremely excited, thinking that the credit that belonged to him was finally coming.
His blood boiled, and there was a little more light in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Yue gratefully, then knelt on one knee after stepping out of the line and said:
"The last general invites you to fight!"
But soon, the court officials each had their own opinions.
Now, a court official analyzed:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, General Jiang knows the enemy quite well. The situation is urgent now. If someone else were to take over, there might be some changes."
Mu Yun followed closely, "Your Majesty, I think you can let Captain Ding be the garrison commander of the capital, and General Chen will go to the battle, and the young general will assist him, and they will go together."
Zhao Chongxiu listened to the ministers' words and suddenly his expression changed.
"Go together?"
Mu Yun knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am also thinking about Donglin. If the Great Jin really attacks, I am afraid that many people will suffer."
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to fight!" Chen Yuan asked for battle again. After analyzing the situation in the court, he believed that his going to the battle this time was a foregone conclusion.
He felt that being just a defender was not enough to bring out his strengths.
But the words of these court officials were really harsh. What did they mean by "if it were someone else, something unexpected would happen?" He was a third-rank general, so how could he not be able to shoulder such an important responsibility?
Zhao Chongxiu didn't think about it, ignored the objections of the court officials, and directly agreed to Chen Yuan:
"allow!"
"Chen Yuan, you will set out in three days. Along the way, gradually unite with local governors and gather newly recruited soldiers to go to the border. As for the young general, from now on, you will be appointed as a third-rank garrison commander, responsible for protecting the imperial city!"
When Zhao Chongxiu said this, all the court officials looked at each other, and finally cast envious glances at Jiang Yue at the same time.
Zeng Guangren and Mu Yun never expected that the instigation of the court officials today would lead to Jiang Yue's direct promotion.
One of them remained silent, while the expression on the other's face was instantly beautiful.
Jiang Yue certainly didn't expect that she would be promoted today, but she did think about His Majesty's recruitment of troops.
After all, this happens every year.
At this time, I would like to thank the emperor for his grace.
She knelt on one knee and said:
"The general will obey the order!"
Chen Yuan, excited, also said,
"The general will obey the order!"
Zhao Chongxiu flicked his sleeves.
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
After His Majesty left, the court officials wanted to say more, but they no longer had the chance and had to disperse.
On the way out of the hall, Chen Yuan walked with the wind.
As soon as Jiang Yue left the hall, he saw His Majesty's personal eunuch coming again.
"Young General, His Majesty invites you."
Jiang Yue didn't know why, so she naturally agreed and followed the eunuch.
Then, we went to a palace.
The palace is located in a relatively remote and spacious place, which is exactly the residence arranged by Zhao Chongxiu for Taoist Chongyang.
Now, Taoist Chongyang is being provided with delicious food and drink by His Majesty.
The treatment was no worse than that of the queen.
Therefore, both the palace maids and concubines as well as the princes and court officials were discussing it in private.
It is said that the old Taoist priest was very old, but because of a weapon that could defeat the enemy, he suddenly became a big shot in the eyes of His Majesty, and from then on he enjoyed unlimited glory.
Look, everyone in the palace is trying to please him, even the queen is no exception.
Inside the palace, Zhao Chongxiu sat at a desk somewhere, checking the various fuels on the table and the formula proportions written for him by the Taoist priest, trying to imagine how to increase the power of the fuel.
Taoist Chongyang, who was standing beside him, felt really uneasy.
"Your Majesty, you requested for greater power, but I have really tried my best."
After the battle at the city gate, he finally understood what His Majesty was going to do.
What is meant by "good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand"? This is what he is talking about.
He looks glamorous, but in fact he is very nervous.
