Everyone can smell a breath of danger from the eldest princess's declaration.

The Minister of War, who knew the various situations of the court, looked around and saw that no one dared to explain the status quo, sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the barbarians in the north are hateful, but over the years they have been fighting hard because of the internal struggles of their respective royal courts. If we send troops at this time, we may become their common enemy."

Some people become the first bird, so the rest of the people naturally say whatever they say.

"Shangshu Xu said it very well. Our dispatch of troops at this time will make the Huns more united."

"Yes, let alone the military pay for the soldiers in the northern border has been owed for three months. In recent days, morale has been low. I'm afraid only the three troops of the Zuo family can be sent out to fight the Huns."

"So your Majesty think twice..."

The eldest princess looked at the chattering ministers and officials under the dragon chaise seat. She gently buckled her slender fingers, and her thoughts returned to the scene when the mother emperor wanted to recapture the frontier.

How similar was that time and now?

The eldest princess Zhan Yan smiled, and her laughter echoed in the Golden Palace, instantly overshadowed the heated discussions of the ministers, making the hall quiet again.

"The Huns had hundreds of tribes ten years ago, and seven or eight tribes who claimed to be royal courts... Do you know how many royal tribes are left in the grassland desert now?"

The Minister of War hesitated for a moment and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the secret report from three months ago shows that the Huns still have four royal courts, namely the left and right royal courts, the golden tent royal courts, and the gathered Qiwu clan joint tribe."

Then, she was afraid that the eldest princess was not very clear about the situation on the Huns, and added: "The Golden Tent Royal Court is currently the largest force among the Huns, with more than 400,000 regular soldiers, while the Qiwu family ranks second. Among the 200,000 troops, there are a total of 100,000 people in the 200,000 troops, are grassland cavalry. The two are currently fighting for the position of the next Great Shanyu, and they are invincible."

The eldest princess nodded and suddenly asked, "Is Qi Wu in the northwest of the desert?"

The Minister of War bowed and replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, Qi Wu is in the extreme northwest of the world, backing against the desert sea of ​​death."

"The desert is really far from Zhongzhou." The eldest princess laughed playfully and continued to ask: "Which military spy has sent the news from there, it will take three months to go on the road?"

"Not only, the road may be delayed by various factors, usually about four to five months."

After answering this sentence, the Minister of War realized something was wrong.

"The news from three months ago was delayed for four or five months on the road. Xu Aiqing, this news is Chen Zhimao's rogue." The eldest princess had a sign-like warm smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes. "As far as I know, the Golden Tent Royal Court defeated and recovered thirty or forty tribes, including Qi Wu, a month ago. Now the Great Shanyu in the Royal Court has been selected. In less than three months, they will lead the vanguard to sweep the border and the troops will come to the city."

The Minister of War’s neck was often cold sweat dripped, and her words were a little unconfident at this moment, "Your Majesty, my spies from the Ministry of War have been hidden among the Huns for more than ten years. There has never been any information in recent years. With such a big change, we cannot receive news."

"Don't you understand?"

The smile on the eldest princess's face dissipated and her voice became cold, "You are all deceived by that Right King."

"At that time, the Qiwu family's union was a special person to visit Luoyang. I sent a special general to the northwest to promote this matter. But a few days ago, the general's head had been cut off by the Shanyu and dragged him to the East Palace as a gift for me." The eldest princess said meaningfully: "How many days can the Qiwu family without the Han and Tang dynasties delayed on one side?"

All the officials in the audience looked at each other in silence.

Everyone speculated about Qi Wu's fate, but who among the scholars present did not know the reason why the lips and teeth were cold? If the Hun army turned around, there would be no peace in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Seeing that everyone was standing beside the queen, the Minister of Revenue had to bite the bullet and said, "What Your Majesty said is the most financial aspect..."

The third princess glanced at her and said coldly: "I can open the imperial depot and withdraw all the silver and grain in the warehouse to help all troops settle old accounts... But conservatively estimate that these money and grain should only be enough for each troops to spend three months. If I continue to fight, I have no choice."

The Minister of War wiped his sweat and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, even if the third princess has unpacked the bags to help, these three months are just a blink of an eye. If it is delayed until the end of the year and the money and food are exhausted, then my fate in the Han and Tang Dynasties will be..."

This problem is like a dark cloud floating on everyone's heads, and many people even made the decision to move the capital south.

Seeing that the reactions of the ministers in the audience were exactly the same as expected, the eldest princess pursed her lips and said slowly: "Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better to deal with the other party in three months? I think about it... this time, why not let the Second Highness lead the army to attack the enemy. How about the Minister of Supervision and the Zuo Family Army assist each other?"

The eldest princess's previous speech was already a bit shocking. After all, it is unlikely to defeat a big country with a strength and size that is comparable to that of the Han and Tang dynasties in three months. What's more, the other party has now annexed the Qi Wu family and become the well-deserved king in the grassland. Judging from the battle between the two countries over the years, even the Han and Tang dynasties may have been a problem.

The second half of the eldest princess' sentence made everyone sweat. Who is Liu Ruohuan? No matter how capable he is, he is just a man with some wisdom. Such a person can become a witness minister completely relies on his relationship with the four major families. Now this person is actually pushed to the army by the eldest princess. If there is something wrong with his army, isn't this equivalent to digging a grave?

"Your Majesty, the Second Highness and the Zuo family are the first to be affected, so they are naturally the best candidates, but this Minister of Supervision..."

The eldest princess replied casually: "It's just that she has changed from a government supervisor to a military supervisor. As Wang Shaoqing's personal disciple, I think she can help in the army. Anyway, Miss Luo's family must not be very willing to stay with me, right?"

The Minister of War swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, but found that he could not say a word when he was at his mouth.

The military supervisor offended the Zuo family, and the government supervisor offended the Luo family, so he simply shut up and had peace.

"What about Zuo Jiayi?"

Zuo Zinan responded expressionlessly: "Since Your Majesty has the determination to regain territory and repel the Huns, my Zuo family should follow you to the death."

Her eyes paused on Liu Ruohuan for a moment, and the stimulating latter was shocked.

Liu Ruohuan only felt that the Zuo family's martial god's eyes were cold, as if he was looking at an enemy, full of distrust.
