Volume 1, Chapter 150 The Ninth Prince Should Be the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Not to mention that the three ministers did not understand, the civil officials were also in disbelief, and they did not accept it.

The Minister of War directly stood up, clasped his hands to General Cao Changqiu, and said with a serious face:

"As the Minister of War, I am also familiar with the art of war and strategy!

But I do not think that the captured Xiongnu Khan should be released!

Please make it clear, General

! Don't fool the people here!"

In fact, they don't care what the general says, the key is how the people listen now!

If everyone believes what General Cao Changqiu said, and the people all choose the Ninth Prince as the emperor, then Bai Qi will really be able to cover the sky with one hand!

The other princes on the high platform were also angry with General Cao Changqiu, thinking, how can you stand on Bai Qi's side?

Only the Ninth Prince was so excited that he was about to shout out. He was now very sure that his sister Princess Anyang had an affair with Bai Qi.

Otherwise, how could his sister know what Bai Qi did?

Bai Qi on the side also stared at the general Cao Changqiu with interest. He thought Cao Changqiu would interfere because he had divided his military power.

It seems that he still underestimated the character of this general!

Maybe in the future, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be entrusted to him! At least

when he fights, there will be someone to support him in the rear.

Bai Qi thought secretly in his heart that Yang Wudi and Yue Shenqiang were the type of people who charged into battle, but they were not familiar with the court struggle.

And this general Cao Changqiu not only knows how to arrange troops, but also can fight to the death with the civil officials.

The most important thing is to be able to stick to your bottom line, which is the most valuable!

He has strength, ability, and character!

When General Cao Changqiu heard so many people questioning him, a sneer appeared on his lips. He really wanted to curse that they were all a group of unlearned people!

You still want to interfere in the war in front of you!

A typical layman commanding an expert.

So he said loudly:

"The reason why we have to put the Xiongnu Khan back is to let the northern grassland fall into endless internal fighting!

Why do we have to put both Khans back?

That's because only when the grassland is divided into three, their fighting will never stop!

The three-way fight is the most stable state!

And we, Dazhong, can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and manipulate the grassland situation at will.

Do you understand?"

So that's it!

The generals on the side took a breath, and then a trace of shame appeared on their faces.

As generals, they actually made such a big mistake in strategy and tactics, questioning Bai Qi's decision!

Obviously, they didn't understand the art of war!

The people were also talking about it. Although they didn't quite understand it, when they saw the expressions of the generals, they felt that what the general said was too reasonable!

The soldiers also fought frequently. When the general said this, they immediately understood the plan of Bai Qi and others!

If they could let the internal fighting of the grassland continue and consume their own living forces, they would be most happy to see it!

"Are you still saying that Marshal Yang and Marshal Yue are corrupt and partial?"

The soldiers sneered and looked at the civil officials as if they were fools!

"Where is the Minister of War? Go home and farm!"

The face of the Minister of War turned black after being mocked by these people. He did not expect that Bai Qi and others let the Xiongnu Khan go in order to manipulate the situation of the Xiongnu.

As the Minister of War, he was also familiar with military tactics and strategies. He had not thought about it before, but now that someone reminded him, he felt a sense of enlightenment. He

could not help but curse in his heart that these people who led troops to fight were all good at calculating!

But seeing the unwilling eyes of other civil officials, and seeing the prince he supported, who kept winking at him, the Minister of War gritted his teeth and continued to say:

"General, don't you think it's a bit superfluous to let the two Huns Khans go? We can just send a large army to destroy the Huns!"

At this moment, even the three ministers felt that what he said made sense, and snorted: "It is said that these generals of our Great Zhou are brave and unparalleled, why do they only want to let the Huns fight each other, but don't think of destroying the Huns?"

Destroy?

Bai Qi sneered.

"This is really called talking about war on paper!

Do you really think that the Huns are so easy to destroy?

Go and find where the Huns are now. If you can find where the main force of the Huns is and lead the army to surround them,

let alone being the emperor of the Great Zhou, no one can stop you even if you are the emperor of the Great Zhou!"

After Bai Qi finished speaking, these people were completely silent.

What a joke, it is already very difficult for you to find the Huns on the grassland!

After the last war with the Huns, these Huns must have migrated to other places, and even the Dragon Court on the grassland will be changed.

Finding this group of people in the vast grassland is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's more, you have to lead your troops to surround them!

The difficulty will increase exponentially. If they can't beat them, they can run away. Only a fool will let you surround and kill them.

At this moment, the general also sighed, looked at these civil officials with disappointment and said:

"Even if the Xiongnu is destroyed, what's the problem?

That is a vast grassland. It is not like Beiliang and Xichu. We can build cities and open up wasteland on it!

Even if we occupy all of this grassland, we can't completely control it. In three to five years, the next nomadic civilization will be born.

Maybe it's not the Xiongnu, it may be the Xianbei!

As long as we can't completely control the grassland, there will always be such nomadic forces on the grassland. Instead of destroying the Xiongnu and letting the grassland completely escape from the control of the Great Zhou! It's

better to control the three Khans of the Xiongnu and let them attack each other, but they can't destroy one by one. Our Great Zhou Dynasty can wait and see!

Manipulate them at will, so that they will always pay tribute to us!

Therefore, my point of view is the same as Bai Qi's. The foreign policy proposed by the Ninth Prince is the most in line with the interests of the Great Zhou at present! It

is also the best strategy to defend against the enemy!

Does anyone have any questions?"

General Cao Changqiu glanced around with a calm look.

The scene was suddenly quiet!

Especially the civil officials, who were speechless.

The Third Minister looked even more dejected. It turned out that there were so many tricks to leading troops in battle. He was secretly glad that he had chosen Bai Qi to go to war.

If Bai Qi had not led the troops to attack the Xiongnu, it is possible that the Great Zhou would have really been destroyed!

Although he was far ahead of Bai Qi in cultivation, when it came to leading troops in battle, he was not even worthy of carrying Bai Qi's shoes!

At this moment, the three priests completely gave up their resistance. No matter who became the emperor of the Great Zhou, as long as he could win over to his side, it would be fine!

In particular, the smarter people are, the better they know how to weigh the pros and cons!

The Ninth Prince may not be a bad choice!

Because he is smart enough.

He knows how to go with the flow!

At this moment, the people were completely excited, and they roared: "We choose the Ninth Prince, we choose His Highness the Ninth!"

The soldiers also shouted in unison, willing to choose the Ninth Prince as the future emperor of the Great Zhou!

On the high platform, the other princes looked dejected, and only the Ninth Prince was jubilant, wishing he could jump up on the spot to celebrate.

But in order to maintain his kingly demeanor, he just clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and prevented himself from laughing like a goose.

And Bai Qi stretched out his hand and pressed it to quiet everyone down, and then said loudly:

"Now, all the people and soldiers have elected the Ninth Prince as the future emperor of the Great Zhou. Who wants to object?"
