Chapter 542

According to the news from the frontier, this winter, the north was surprisingly cold, with several heavy snowfalls in a row. Many cattle and sheep froze to death on the grasslands in the north and northwest of Dayuan. The King of the Huns personally led his troops to the south, burning, killing and looting on the northern border of the Yuan Dynasty, all the way south.The border guards were caught off guard and retreated steadily. In just a few days, three cities had been lost.

The border was in an emergency, and General Yu Wennan of Dingbei who was in charge of guarding the border, and Gongsun Sheng, Marquis of Anbang, played Dongfang Chen and asked for reinforcements.Gongsun Sheng, Marquis of Anbang, is the younger brother of Gongsunjing, Marquis of Anbang, with the same father and mother.

Dongfang Chen left all the officials in the palace to discuss the countermeasures, but the countermeasures have not been discussed yet, and a report from the guard at the western border also came, saying that the Aotian Kingdom in the west is eager to be pampered and has a tendency to attack.

All of a sudden, Dongfang Chen turned gray with worry.

The person in charge of guarding the west is Wei Guo Gong Ji Yue, who belongs to Xu Wang's faction. He originally wanted to send Wei Guo Gong to reinforce the northern border. In this way, he can make Yu Wennan a marshal and be responsible for commanding the two armies. Deputy Marshal, follow the command...

In this way, Yu Wennan will definitely let Ji Yue's army serve as the vanguard. In this way, it can not only consume the troops of Xu Wang's faction, but also solve the urgent need.If Ji Yue was dissatisfied, it would be convenient for him to punish him and let Yu Wennan deal with him on the battlefield.It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone or even three birds with one stone.

It's a pity that such a good move has been ruined now.

Now, there are Dingguo Gong Zhao's family guarding the south, Ningguo Gong Bai's family guarding the east, and troops from all over the country directly dispatched and commanded by the Ministry of War.

However, the Zhao family and the Yuwen family are related by marriage, so it is absolutely impossible to send the Zhao family to reinforce them. These two families have always had great ambitions. Very easy.

The military strength of the Ministry of War is his support. If it is sent to the northern border to support, that army is likely to fall into the power of the Yuwen family. It is really not what he wants to see to strengthen the strength of the Yuwen family, which has become stronger and stronger in recent years.

For the current plan, we can only let the Bai family go for reinforcements.The Bai family has always been neutral and gentle, not as ambitious as the Yuwen family.

However, here comes the problem again. The Bai family is an established family, and the Yuwen family is a newly emerging family. Nan is the marshal, but the Bai family is an ancient family that followed the Taizu to conquer the country and then protected the Dayuan country until now. They may not be willing to let the rising star Yuwen family command.

Dongfang Chen understood these principles, and naturally many civil and military officials also thought of them, but they didn't say it clearly, they were silent, and they didn't easily express their opinions.

Bai Qinghong and Bai Qingyan were also silent. Even before, they would not be willing to let the Yuwen family command, let alone now after the friction.

Dongfang Chen thought for a long time, and felt that it would be better to test Ning Guogong first, so he opened his mouth and said: "Come here, tell Ning Guogong to go to the palace to discuss matters."

Soon, Duke Ning Guo was carried by the sedan chair to the entrance of the main hall, then hurried in, and was about to bend down to salute, when he was helped up by Dongfang Chen who hurried down from the throne.

"Mr. Ning, I announced you to come today because I have something to discuss with you, so there is no need to be polite. Come, show me your seat quickly." Dongfang Chen ordered.

An Fuhai quickly asked someone to lift a grand master's chair and put it on the head of the hundred officials, and asked Ning Guogong to sit down.
