Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 535
The news that the Hanhai people sent troops to the Far East was like a meteorite thrown into a calm lake, one stone caused a thousand waves. Such shocking news stunned the ministers who were still arguing in the meeting hall.

Emperor Long Han was even more furious, and roared angrily: "Where is my Far Eastern Army! Liu Wenwu has wronged the country! I will kill Liu Wenwu!"

Facing the anger of Emperor Longhan, the important officials of the whole court were all calm and shabby. Those ministers who used money and food to make things difficult for the military hall and prevent the increase of troops in the Far East were even ashamed, afraid of becoming a scapegoat.

Those military generals who asked for more troops in the Far East looked proud: How about it, don’t listen to us, now the Far East is occupied by the Hanhai people, let’s see what you do.

Faced with the loss of the country, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty not only did not think of a solution for the emperor Longhan, but started to attack each other.

"I said to increase troops in the Far East, increase troops in the Far East, but you insist on saying that there is not enough money and food, wait a minute, if you listen to me, why would something like this happen today?" A minister looked at the Minister of Finance and sneered.

The Minister of Finance hurriedly stood up to explain, and changed the subject: "It is a fact that there is not enough money and food. We are just talking about it for a while. Who knew that the Far East Army was so unreliable that it would withdraw without authorization and hand over the Far East to the people of Hanhai!"

"Your Majesty, if the Far East Army retreats without a fight, Liu Wenwu should be executed, and the person who recommended Liu Wenwu will not be spared!"

"Your Majesty, the military hall has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. They have not strictly supervised the Far East Army. Chief Yang should take the blame and resign!" The civil officials immediately pointed their finger at the chief of military affairs, Yang Yanxu.

Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, also stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, the Far Eastern Army has only 30 people, and the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire came to attack. I don't think it is the fault of the Far Eastern Army. They have tried their best."

"Oh? According to President Yang's words, Liu Wenwu is not only innocent, but also has merit?" Someone sneered.

The civil officials let out a burst of laughter, they could take advantage of this matter to suppress the military, so why not do it.

The Far East is thousands of miles away from Wang Jing. Even if the Hanhai Empire occupies the entire Far East, it will not have the slightest impact on the important ministers. They don't care about the life and death of the Far East. They only care about their own power. is what they care about most.

The civil servants and generals in the court had a great time arguing with each other, but they didn't pay any attention to the increasingly gloomy emperor Long Han.

Xinxiang Hou Lin Nuoyan saw the important ministers shirking each other, and seeing them arguing like vendors in the vegetable market regardless of their image, he felt extremely sad in his heart. The dynasty has declined, and it is no longer that great country that conquers the world.

As an official of the dynasty, as a general of the dynasty, Lin Nuoyan really couldn't bear to watch the dynasty fall. He once fought against the Hanhai people in the Far East, and he has feelings for that land and the people's network. The Far East, but he Lin Nuoyan can't ignore the life and death of the people in the Far East. He knows the cruelty of the Hanhai people, and knows that the people in the Far East are in dire straits and urgently need rescue.

"All the responsibility belongs to Liu Wenwu, and Liu Wenwu should be killed immediately!" The responsibility was pushed back and forth, and it was pushed to Liu Wenwu, the marshal of the Far East Army who was far away in Tielan Pass.

"Yes, Liu Wenwu, as the marshal of the Far East Army, should be beheaded for losing his land and territory!" The officials all pointed their spearheads at Liu Wenwu and criticized Liu Wenwu verbally and pen.

Emperor Long Han, who was in a state of anger, was instigated by the ministers, and said: "Then pass on the decree, the Far East Army Marshal Liu Wenwu has withdrawn without permission, causing my Far East to fall. The crime is unforgivable, beheaded!"

Seeing that the young and energetic emperor wanted to kill Liu Wenwu, Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, hurriedly stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, Liu Wenwu can't be killed."

"Master Zhou, could it be that you are Liu Wenwu's accomplice?" Some officials immediately raised an issue.

Lin Nuoyan saw that everyone was so ignorant, he stood up with a cold snort, and his voice overwhelmed the quarreling crowd: "Your Majesty, I think what Master Zhou said is right, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Liu Wenwu can't kill you!" , at least not now, our top priority is to defend Tielan Pass!"

"Liu Wenwu still has [-] Far Eastern troops under his command. Now they are the main force guarding Tielan Pass. If Liu Wenwu is sent an order to kill Liu Wenwu, then Tielan Pass will definitely be lost. Once the people of Hanhai cross Tielan Pass and enter the hinterland of our dynasty, the consequences will be disastrous. .”

Long Han was also dazzled by anger before, and was instigated by the officials, wishing to kill Liu Wenwu immediately, but now hearing Lin Nuoyan's analysis, he broke out in a cold sweat, if he really killed Liu Wenwu, then the morale of the army would be unstable , the consequences are really unimaginable.

But Long Han was still a little unwilling: "Liu Wenwu has lost his land, if he is not severely punished, he may not be able to convince the public."

"Your Majesty, let Liu Wenwu make atonement for his crimes, which can also show His Majesty's magnanimity. If Liu Wenwu does not change his will, then it will not be too late to kill him in the future." Zhou Rulin suggested.

Long Han nodded after thinking for a moment: "Then according to what Zhou Aiqing said, I will not punish him first, and punish him after the Hanhai people are defeated."

Seeing that the emperor Long Han was able to put the overall situation first, Lin Nuoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the emperor's head would get hot and he wanted to kill Liu Wenwu immediately.

Although Liu Wenwu's crime is unforgivable now, after all, he has an army of [-] in his hands. Under the current special circumstances, if he is really pressed for help and he surrenders to the Hanhai people, then the Far East Dynasty will be in danger.

After discussing Liu Wenwu's matter, Long Han had to consider the issue of defending against the Hanhai people: "My dear friends, the Hanhai thieves have invaded our dynasty, and people and gods are all angry. Who is willing to lead the army to defend the majesty of our dynasty?"

Facing Long Han's gaze, the officials who had been arguing red-faced all lowered their heads in tacit understanding: Isn't it a joke to lead the army to fight against the Hanhai people, whoever wants to die will go.

Although the officials criticized the Far East Army for its incompetence and Liu Wenwu should be killed, that was just to shirk responsibility, but if they were asked to lead the army in battle, they thought they would be inferior to the Far East Army and Liu Wenwu.

Seeing all the officials bow their heads in silence, the Emperor Long Han, who was sitting at the head, felt angry for no reason. They are good at fighting for power and profit, but they all shrink back when they really serve the country.

"Zhang Junhou, are you willing to share my worries?" Long Han turned his gaze to the most quarrelsome Junhou and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have been disarmed for many years, and the battle formation is unfamiliar. I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations. Please, Your Majesty choose someone else."

"What about General Liu?"

"Your Majesty, the last general lacks talent and learning, and is embarrassed by the great responsibility. Please, Your Majesty choose another good general."

"Marshal Wu?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, my minister's health is getting worse day by day, and I occasionally caught a cold yesterday. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Far East."

Seeing these heroes and veterans who usually boasted about themselves turned into cowards one by one, Long Han felt a burst of disappointment. There were hundreds of generals in the court, but none of them was willing to lead the army into battle.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go." Xinxiang Hou Lin Nuoyan said loudly.

"Lin Hou, it's a long way to go to the Far East. Your body is weak, so you should stay in Wangjing to cultivate." Although Lin Nuoyan volunteered, Long Han couldn't be happy. They knew about Lin Nuoyan's illness, and he didn't want to send such a A sick general leads his army into battle.

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for 20 years. Now they are invading our land and killing my people. How can I just sit idly by and ask Your Majesty to allow me to lead the army to fight." Lin Nuoyan has a stubborn character and insists repeatedly.

"Okay, since Marquis Lin is like this, then I will approve your request." With no general in the court, Long Han could only reluctantly agree to Lin Nuoyan.
