Chapter 299: Incognito Visit
Jiang Chen used the wine to calm Gongsun Liang's "resentment".
He spoke directly to Gongsun Liang and Han Zhong and others standing below.
"This time Xianghong County has been conquered, and the gate to the Northern Ming Dynasty has been opened."
"I will maintain my previous attitude and dispatch another 50,000 troops from the northern border."
"It's time for Xiong Kehui's Xianzhen Camp to step onto the stage."
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Gongsun Liang thought for a long time, and finally stood up and spoke to Jiang Chen.
"My lord, if this happens, the troops in the north will not be enough to intimidate King Huai'an."
Since Jiang Chen led his army north, there are only 200,000 troops left in the entire northern border.
If another 50,000 troops were dispatched, the North would not be seriously damaged.
But it is obvious that the entire internal defense of the North will definitely be weakened as a result.
Facing Gongsun Liang's persuasion, Jiang Chen smiled .
"Alright, alright, I know the problem you are worried about, Military Advisor."
"The soldiers stationed in the northern border have already finished their spring ploughing work!"
"After this troop transfer, we will use some of the garrison troops to strengthen the defense of the northern border."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made his decision, Gongsun Liang had no choice but to give up.
"I understand, but my lord, which general do you plan to appoint as the commander when you march into Northern Ming this time?"
As Gongsun Liang asked this, Han Zhong and the others' eyes instantly focused on Jiang Chen.
If we can win this war against the Northern Ming Dynasty, it will be a great achievement!
If he could serve as the main general in a war to annihilate a country, needless to say, it would naturally be an event that would go down in history.
As generals, how could they refuse such a hard-earned opportunity!
Hearing this, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked at Huo Xiang beside him.
Among Han Zhong, Du Mingyu and Huo Xiang, Du Mingyu was too reckless.
However, Han Zhong's qualifications are not as good as Du Mingyu's, which can convince everyone.
After much thought, among the three, perhaps only Prime Minister Huo can take on this important task.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen spoke.
"From now on, Xiang Huo will be the commander."
Hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Gongsun Liang smiled slightly.
Obviously, he had already expected Jiang Chen's answer, while Han Zhong and the other man showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.
But soon, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu came to their senses.
Anyway, if I hadn’t followed Jiang Chen.
I'm afraid that right now, the two of them are still in some corner of the Xia Kingdom's capital, waiting for promotion and wealth!
"General Xiang Huo, since the lord has chosen you to be the commander-in-chief."
"Then I hope you can be competent for this duty and conquer Northern Ming for my lord ."
Gongsun Liang smiled at Prime Minister Huo and nodded.
"Don't worry, military advisor. I will never let you and my lord down."
Faced with the trust of Jiang Chen and Gongsun Liang, Prime Minister Huo bowed respectfully.
Seeing that all matters had been arranged, Jiang Chen dismissed the generals.
However, Jiang Chen still pulled Gongsun Liang to stay.
Looking at Jiang Chen who had left him behind, Gongsun Liang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"My Lord, you asked Liang to stay. Do you have any strange ideas again?"
After asking, Gongsun Liang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The last time Jiang Chen left him alone was when he wanted to take a few girls out of the house to attend the Lantern Festival.
In the end, it was Gongsun Liang who cleaned up the mess of those aristocratic families.
And today, Jiang Chen, the unreliable lord, kept .
This familiar feeling is naturally self-evident.
Facing Gongsun Liang's question, Jiang Chen smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, military advisor, how can you say that?"
"When has this marquis ever cheated you? This time, it's really an important matter."
Hearing this familiar rhetoric, Gongsun Liang was already in tears.
"My Lord, just tell me what you want to do. Liang is already prepared."
Seeing Gongsun Liang's fearless look, Jiang Chen stopped beating around the bush.
He walked straight to Gongsun Liang and whispered his thoughts into his ear.
"What!?"
"My Lord, you... can't do this. If something happens to you."
"How are you going to let Liang explain this to the generals and the people of the northern border?!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's whisper, Gongsun Liang shouted in shock.
"Hush, keep your voice down. Are you afraid that no one will know what I'm thinking?"
Jiang Chen quickly covered Gongsun Liang's mouth and scolded him in a low voice.
"But my lord, you cannot go to Beiming territory."
"If you go there, what if you encounter any danger in Beiming?"
Gongsun Liang lowered his voice this time and persuaded Jiang Chen.
It turned out that Jiang Chen's idea was to sneak into the territory of Beiming and conduct a secret visit.
In fact, it cannot be said to be a secret visit. After all, Jiang Chen's purpose this time is to get the "Bodhi Seed" that is rumored to be held by the Ming Cult.
Now that the gates of Beiming are wide open and its luck has run out, it is definitely time to sneak into Beiming territory.
The best time to find the whereabouts of Bodhi seeds and Mingjiao!
If we wait until we completely conquer Northern Ming, then we can look for the whereabouts of Bodhi seeds and Ming Cult.
It is still unknown where the Northern Ming royal family will escape to at that time!
After telling Gongsun Liang all his true thoughts, Jiang Chen gave him some more instructions.
"In that case, my lord, you can go with peace of mind."
"Liang will definitely follow the Lord's instructions and live up to the Lord's trust."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made all the preparations, Gongsun Liang had no choice but to obey.
One day later, Jiang Chen, disguised as a wealthy businessman, took Su Qingcheng on a carriage.
Under the escort of Li Yuanyi and one hundred soldiers from the Royal Guard Battalion, they slowly drove out of the gate of Xianghong County.
Looking outside the carriage window at the people of Beiming who were fleeing with their families to avoid the war, Su Qingcheng sighed and pulled down the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing that Su Qingcheng looked a little lonely, Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Why, looking at these Beiming people, do you feel a little bit sorry for them?"
In response to Jiang Chen's question, Su Qingcheng nodded and said weakly.
"Sir, we are going to wage war against Bei Ming this time."
“Is this really the right choice?”
After listening to Su Qingcheng's question, Jiang Chen smiled, shook his head and replied.
"Qingcheng, remember, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world."
"If we want to completely end this chaotic world, the only way is to use war!"
"I know you can't bear to see these people displaced, but if I don't start a war."
"By then, Beiming, Xusong and Qi will unite."
"I'm afraid the people in our northern border will be displaced."
After hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Su Qingcheng seemed to understand something. She lowered her head and remained silent.
