Chapter 800 Decided to march north
The entire Fengyun Dynasty was shaken by this sudden news.It's not because of anything else, the main reason is that everyone feels that the opportunity has come.After two years of recuperation, today's Fengyun Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. Although there is still some distance from the country's prosperity and people's strength, compared with Daliao, it has already shown its advantages.

Now Daliao is like a terminally ill old man, lingering on his last breath.Coupled with the death of the old emperor and the fighting among the various princes, it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for Fengyun.As a result, all the ministers went up to play, asking for the Northern Expedition.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Ruifeng looked at the excited appearance of the officials below, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.Emperor Daliao was Chu Ruifeng's uncle, his sudden death made Chu Ruifeng feel a little bit emotional.The original friendship between nephew and uncle had disappeared when the emperor dealt with Qiaoyun and Chu Kangsheng, and Chu Ruifeng would not feel sad about his passing away.

Originally thought that the emperor of Daliao could survive for a few more years, and he should be able to wait until Chu Ruifeng led his army to march north.Chu Ruifeng has always wanted to avenge his father with his own hands, to capture the capital in front of that old guy, and let him taste the feeling of being alone and besieged by all sides.

However, it was a bit of a pity that the old guy died before that day.But how should I put it, it's good to be dead, otherwise, when Chu Ruifeng led the army to march north, he would inevitably have to take into account the emotions of the eldest princess, but he would not be able to use it.Now that the old emperor is gone, the relationship between the eldest princess and Daliao is completely severed, and Chu Ruifeng no longer has any scruples about acting.

Since all civil and military officials agreed that troops should be sent, and the court and the army have completely recovered after two years of rest, it is indeed time to send troops.Otherwise, the more the soldiers are raised, the less fighting spirit they will lose, which is not good.

Since the spring of this year, Chu Ruifeng has sent troops to conquer those places in the southwest. On the one hand, it is naturally to pave the way for the future northern expedition, so as to save those places from causing trouble behind the scenes.On the other hand, of course, it is for military training. This army cannot be too idle, and it is easy to slack off when it is idle. It is necessary to let the soldiers have something to do, so as to maintain their flexibility and sharpness.

After more than half a year of fighting, the Southwest has basically settled down.In this way, there will be no worries about sending troops, so sending troops now is really a good opportunity.

"Since all the lovers think that troops should be sent out, I also think this proposal is good. Why don't we, the monarchs and ministers, discuss how to deploy the troops next?" Chu Ruifeng is not a quiet person in his bones.Especially under the current situation, the country has not yet been unified, and there are still so many things to do, so he is really not reconciled to let him just nest in the south of the Yangtze River in a peaceful corner.

When the officials heard this, they became even more excited, so a group of people made suggestions one after another, expressing their opinions, and the court became lively for a while.Of course, to Chu Ruifeng, the words of these people were nothing more than a few suggestions. He already had an overall plan for the overall situation in his heart.Naturally, he wouldn't talk about it in class, he just listened to everyone's opinions at the moment.

The ministers discussed for a long time, but there were many useful suggestions. Chu Ruifeng listened to them one by one, and ordered Lin Bokang to record them as well.Naturally, the discussion this time will definitely not have direct results. The specific battle plan needs to be decided by Chu Ruifeng after discussing with Lin Bokang and others.

But since it has been decided to go on an expedition, the household department and the military department must start preparations at this time.So Chu Ruifeng ordered to go down, ordering the Ministry of War to mobilize soldiers and horses, and the Ministry of Households to prepare food and supplies, and they will go out in a few days.

Today is the best opportunity. Taking advantage of the time when the old emperor passed away and the new emperor has not ascended the throne, immediately sending troops to the north to catch the opponent by surprise will have a great effect.Once the new emperor succeeds to the throne, if he is a more capable one, it is very likely that the progress of the Northern Expedition will be hindered a lot, so the soldiers are very fast, and there is no delay.

"Dear dears, this Northern Expedition is of great importance. It can expel the rule of Daliao and regain the great rivers and mountains. The success or failure depends on it. I also ask you to do your best and work together to strive for an early capture of the capital and realize the great cause of unifying the country. I would like to join hands with all of you to create beautiful rivers and mountains.”

When the morning court was about to end, Chu Ruifeng stood up and spoke with some excitement.At this time, all the civil and military officials below were also very excited, and they responded in unison, "I am willing to follow Your Majesty, create a foundation for the future, drive out the Daliao, and unify the country."

Chu Ruifeng nodded with a smile, "Okay, then please go back and do your own thing, and make arrangements for the expedition as soon as possible. Prime Minister Lin, Prime Minister Xiao, Shangshu Yue, Shangshu Yuan, you stay here, I still have something to discuss with you. "The real battle plan is naturally to be discussed with Lin Bokang and Qingxiao Qinglei. As for the others, they just need to follow orders.

Everyone who was named also understood what they were doing, so they stayed obediently and followed the emperor to the Imperial Study Room of Chengqian Palace.When they got here, everyone discussed some matters about the Northern Expedition together.

Chu Ruifeng proposed that the imperial conquest be personally conscripted, this time sending troops is of great importance, he absolutely does not trust others to lead the troops.Everyone had no way to object to Chu Ruifeng's proposal. The key was that Chu Ruifeng was truly unrivaled in leading troops in battle.Although Qing Xiao, Qing Lei and the others are all outstanding generals, they are still a bit inferior compared to Chu Ruifeng.

However, Chu Ruifeng was about to go on an expedition, who should be left in charge on the Jiangnan side?You know, Jiangnan is the foundation of the imperial court, if something happens, it's not just a joke.For the left-behind candidates, everyone made another difficulty.

In the end, it was Lin Bokang who proposed to ask the empress to preside over the overall situation, and Lin Bokang and Qing Lei to stay and assist. I think this is the safest solution.

Lin Bokang's proposal, to be honest, was really in Chu Ruifeng's mind.Of the two prime ministers in the court, one of them must stay, but Chu Ruifeng can't be too relieved of Xiao Yunpeng after all.Xiao Yunpeng was originally a rebel force, even if he came to join him and didn't find out that he had a different intention, Chu Ruifeng had to guard against it.

After all, Xiao Yunpeng's old department is still there, and there must be contacts in private.If the Xiao family took advantage of Chu Ruifeng's opportunity to lead the army to plot evil, then wouldn't this great river and mountain in the south of the Yangtze River fall into the hands of the Xiao family?

In contrast, although Lin Bokang also holds a lot of power, he is only a literati after all, and his relationship with Chu Ruifeng and Qiao Yun is different, such a friendship of life and death.Let Chu Ruifeng believe that Lin Bokang will never do anything that is not conducive to the court.
