Chapter 754
The matter in Chendi was a big deal. Not only did the princes of the Central Plains know about this fact, but there were also people in Wu'an City.
The king conquered the two kingdoms of Tang and Xiao, and then sent troops to occupy Chen territory. This was a merit comparable to Zhaohou. The new king achieved such a success in just four years after he ascended the throne.
Therefore, now that Wei Wuji is in the hearts of the Wei people, his prestige is already at its peak, and no one can shake his status.
Although the situation is a bit out of control at the moment, the people of Wei still believe that their king can once again turn the risk into victory and push Wei to the next glory.
The people knew little information, so they naturally had a lot of confidence in Wei Wuji, but the officials in the court were worried about it.
What they were worried about was not the Qin State's 100,000 army, because Wei State had more troops, and what they were worried about was how to maintain the massive amount of food, grass and military supplies needed by the army.
Although Wei State has been recuperating in recent years and has saved a lot of money, it can't help but squandering it!
At the dynasty meeting on June 20th, the court officials who had not talked much in the past all talked about their difficulties.
To sum up, it is: lack of money, food, but lack of arms!
The court officials opposed Wei Wuji's war and gave them ten courage to dare not, so they could only express their protest in this way.
But Wei Wuji just underestimated and told the court officials to let them go and find a way, so he hurriedly ended the court meeting.
As the law, Wei Wuji kept Xu Anhong, Guo Liangdong and others, and these people were the targets that Wei Wuji really needed to convince.
In the side hall of Yongming Hall, Wei Wuji pointed to the location of Chen State in the huge map on the wall and said, "You guys, you should understand... Now our army has confronted Qin State, and it is already an arrow on the string, so we have to fire it!"
Looking back, Wei Wuji looked at the ministers behind him and said solemnly: "Retreatment at this time will not only damage the prestige of our Great Wei Kingdom, but also cause the morale of the army to be frustrated!"
Wei Wuji said this himself, but Xu Anhong and others didn't believe it anyway.
The Wei Kingdom occupied the three places of Tang Xiao and Chen, and the countries were terrified. The withdrawal of troops would not affect the prestige of Wei Kingdom at all, nor would it cause the morale of the army to be frustrated.
Xu Anhong didn't say anything, but Guo Liangdong, as the prime minister, had to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, if you continue to fight, I'm afraid the monarch will be spared!"
Guo Liangdong is the prime minister. Not only is his subordinate complaining to him, but some county magistrates also complaining to him.
Xu Anhong was responsible for the collection of grain, so he could understand Guo Liangdong's difficulties. Although Wei State belonged to the king, it was difficult to be a housekeeper of Guo Liangdong.
Wei Wuji did not accept Guo Liangdong's words, but turned around and said, "When I first joined the army, it was the 12th year of Zhaohou. At that time, my army of Great Wei took down Changping Pass!"
What does the monarch mean? Xu Anhong and others didn’t understand why they were so far behind the topic.
Then he heard Wei Wuji continue, "The twelve years of Zhaohou, and it has been almost ten years now, right? But my Wei sphere of influence is still on the front line of Changping Pass!"
"In other words, my Great Wei has not gained any gains in terms of national power over the years. I don't know how you think about it, but it is an unbearable thing for me!"
Looking deep at the people below, Wei Wuji said, "So, a battle with Qin is inevitable. I am willing to block our ten-year national destiny and compete with Qin!"
After saying so much, the following people understood that the king was tough and expressed his attitude, and he had to fight in this battle with Qin.
Xu Anhong and others were speechless. At this time, they could no longer object because the king had decided.
What they should do is to go on and make a good decision, how should they help Wei Wuji fight this battle!
At this time, Xu Anhong said: "Since the emperor has made up his mind, I will do my best to maintain the needs of the army for war!"
Looking at Xu Anhong who had been persuaded, Wei Wuji nodded slowly, and then he turned his gaze to Guo Liangdong and others.
These three people are not stupid, so they naturally know that it is useless to say more now, and each of them is accompanied by Xu Anhong's advice.
It is logical that this small dynasty meeting should end, but Wei Wuji did not mean to let them go, so he continued: "This battle is of great importance. If you win, you will defeat Qin in one battle. If you lose, you will lose your territory and lose your troops... So I decided to lead the troops in this battle!"
If the matter just now is of great importance, then what Wei Wuji said about the personal expedition is even more amazing. This is a major event related to the foundation of the country!
Although it was not uncommon for a monarch to lead troops to fight during the Warring States Period, it was still a very important matter in itself.
So, Xu Anhong, who had just agreed to Wei Wuji, was the first to object: "You must not. At this time of war, the court still needs to be in charge so that he can focus on his own efforts and attack Qin with all his might!"
Xu Anhong opposed it, Guo Liangdong and others also stood up to oppose it, and it would be even more difficult for Wei Wuji to personally enlist their errands to leave.
But similarly, Wei Wuji was very stubborn about this matter. He did not give these people any room to ask for advice and bargain, but instead made a forced arrangement.
"This matter is settled, and there is no need to say much. My father and grandfather have made an attempt to fight in person, and have never seen any chaos in the country. Instead, they have made their reputation and praised it to the world!"
Speaking of this, Wei Wuji said with a solemn expression: "I have inherited the country of my father and grandfather, and also inherited the tyranny of my father and grandfather. How can I shrink into Wu'an City?"
After saying this, what else can Xu Anhong and the others say!
This is an era where courage is emphasized. The monarch's desire to lead troops to fight is a manifestation of courage. In terms of legal principles and morality, they cannot criticize them.
"The emperor insists on doing this, and I will obey it!" The first person who understands is Guo Liangdong.
At this time, Xu Anhong still did not express his opinion, and he was still a little worried.
That was a serious battle. If something happened to the king on the battlefield, it would be almost the end of the day for Wei.
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Xu Anhong said.
Wei Wuji's expression remained unchanged, but said calmly: "I have been thinking about this for a long time, so there is no need to go back on it!"
After sighing, Xu Anhong could only say helplessly: "That minister, I wish you a victory and a safe journey to and from time to time!"
Peace is the most important thing. Wei Wuji understands what Xu Anhong means, so he also wants Xu Anhong to nodify slightly.
Then the court meeting was really over, and Wei Wuji also forcibly promoted his will and truly finalized the war.
The most important thing is his personal expedition, which was the first war he presided over after he ascended the throne.
But Wei Wuji is still relatively confident. He was captured by a throne that was only through war, and he was more expectant than fear of war.
Moreover, even if this battle is lost, Wei Wuji can afford to lose. He will not be able to fight a big war in the past ten years.
Of course, Wei Wuji insisted on expeditioning in person, which also had something to do with the actual situation.
After all, there is no general who can stand on his own and has the ability to deal with such great power conquests, which coincides with Wang Xiu.
Even if Zheng Chang, who led his army to destroy Tang and Xiao, Wei Wuji did not think that he had the ability to deal with the matter.
The most important thing is that if this great victory is defeated, it will be much more of the merits of destroying the two countries of Tang and Xiao. Can that minister bear this merit?
No one can afford it. Only the monarch Wei Wuji, the main army, can bear it, otherwise the merits will be too great to shock the master.
