Part-time female officer of the rebirth spiritualist

Chapter 580
At the time of the 'earthquake', the imperial court was discussing affairs in the early court.The focus of the discussion was, of course, the war between the south and the country of Li.

Hou Zhenhai was conferred the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom by the emperor, so his ability to lead troops in battle is naturally not weak.After sitting in Fucheng, not only repelled another large-scale siege by the enemy, but also took the initiative to send out four groups of people, Ma Chengfan, to push outward step by step, so that the enemy who fled after the siege failed had nowhere to hide .

Facts have proved that such an approach works.

The four groups of people cooperated seamlessly, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, they directly crushed them, eliminated the enemy troops to the greatest extent, ensured the safety of the surrounding areas of Fucheng, and gave the local people a space to breathe and take refuge.

However, it is unrealistic to drive the enemy out of the country at once.Even, the whole war is actually not good for Jin country.

Except for the area north of Fucheng in Annan Province, most of the cities in the south fell into the hands of the people of the Li Kingdom.In Jianghai Province in the east, due to the division of troops to support Fucheng, there was a shortage of troops, and the combat effectiveness dropped sharply. Jianghai City was captured by the enemy.The governors, admirals and other civil and military officials at all levels were almost killed and injured. Without the superior command, the remnants of the escaped army and the local garrisons in various provinces could only fight on their own.In the face of the reorganized enemy, there is no concerted effort at all.As a result, the situation in Jianghai Province is even worse than that in Annan Province.

Hou Zhenhai asked the court to increase its troops, and Yu Wenji asked the civil and military officials for their opinions in the court hall. Some people agreed, but others naturally opposed it.However, everyone just muttered in a low voice, and no one was the first bird.

Yu Wenji glanced at all civil and military officials indifferently, and his eyes stopped on a silent middle-aged courtier with a short beard, "Zhou Aiqing, what do you think?"

The middle-aged courtier who was pointed out came out of the line, bowed his body humbly, lowered his head slightly and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think that it is imperative to send troops to the south. In a month, most of the cities of Jianghai and Annan were captured, which shows that the opponent is fully prepared and well-planned. If the enemy's momentum is not stopped with thunder, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it in the future."

"Master Zhou, what do you mean it's hard to clean up?" An old minister shook his head disapprovingly, and seeing everyone looked over, he stepped out calmly, bowed his hands to the emperor, and then continued: "According to the humble minister As far as we know, there are only 30 enemy troops who invaded our border this time. Not to mention the local garrisons in Jianghai and Annan, General Hou took away 30 troops when he went south this time. The combined number of people on both sides is enough to resist the enemy Therefore, I don’t understand why General Hou still asks the imperial court to send more troops.”

Although he didn't have a bad word in his words, all the officials present could hear his doubts about Hou Zhenhai——if the majestic Zhu Guo can only win the battle by numbers, wouldn't it be a bit of a misnomer?
There was silence in the courtroom, and all the officials present were sweating for the veteran's boldness.Hou Zhenhai's title was earned 30 years ago with actual military exploits.His Majesty has placed great trust in him over the years.Now he actually questioned General Hou's ability in front of His Majesty and all the officials, is this person confused?

All the civil servants were just muttering in their hearts, but the generals stared at him with unfriendly expressions.In the hearts of these people, Hou Zhenhai is completely the representative of the God of War and their belief.The veteran questioned Hou Zhenhai, more angry than they were offended.

Yu Wenji looked at everyone with an inscrutable face, and looked at the crowd indifferently, and did not speak immediately in silence.

The middle-aged courtier glanced at the emperor, turned his head, and said to the old courtier in a calm tone: "Master Gong, the Black Forest Army sent by the Li Kingdom is indeed only 30, but it is not only the Black Forest Army that invaded our southern border this time. There is also the Kuijia Army. Even the princess of the Li country is on the list of army healers. This is not just a simple war, do you understand?"
