Chapter 159 Lin Gaoyuan's Little Thoughts

After hearing what Zhao Wenhan said, everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Beijun is indeed more important to Daxia, so Emperor Xia cannot just watch Beijun be defeated, so it is inevitable to send troops northward.

Didn't Emperor Xia send 70,000 troops northward last time?

Zhao Wenhan glanced at Chu Qinwu and Wang Hai at this time, and then said lightly: "Let's go, His Majesty is still waiting for us to discuss important matters."

After the words fell, Zhao Wenhan walked towards the side hall. Chu Qinwu and Wang Hai glanced at each other, and then hurriedly followed.

At this time, Wang Chengshuo came to Lu Shuyun's side. Seeing Lu Shuyun's eyes squinting at Zhao Wenhan's back, Wang Chengshuo whispered: "Your Highness, I think what Prime Minister Zhao did is right. Since there is no way to stop His Majesty from sending troops north, why not We might as well offer to support Beijun, so that the Ministry of War can participate in the discussion on how many troops to send northward."

After hearing Wang Chengshuo's analysis, Lu Shuyun thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.

It seems that Mr. Jiang is still hot. If it were him, he would definitely find a way to prevent his father from sending troops northward.

There are already 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun. Why are they sending troops north? They just want the 50,000 heavy cavalry to be disintegrated. It is precisely because of this idea that they seem to be too eager for quick success. It is not right to consider things in this way. Very thoughtful.

Lu Shuyun was a little lucky. Fortunately, Zhao Wenhan, an old fox, was from his side.

Next, just wait for the result of their discussion.

About an hour later, Lin Gaoyuan was the first to come out of Emperor Xia's study. He seemed much calmer today, unlike last time when he was suffocated because of sending troops north.

Lin Gaoyuan quickly returned home.

Lin Xiuming happened to be at home at this time.

After seeing Lin Gaoyuan come back, Lin Xiuming took the initiative and asked: "Dad, when can I go to the front line?"

The 70,000-strong army led by Lin Xiuming had just returned from Beijun, so when the war between Daxia and Dawu broke out, Lin Xiuming and the 70,000-strong army had been repairing in the capital and were not sent to the front line to fight Dawu. This made Lin Xiuming Xiu Ming felt a little restless in his heart.

After all, that man didn't want to make a contribution, and this was a national war, not like Beijun. The scale of this war was very large. Dawudu had already assembled an army of nearly 800,000 people, and Daxia had mobilized an army of 400,000 people.

If he can make contributions in this war, Lin Xiuming's prestige in the army will be greater and his status will be greatly improved. Therefore, Lin Xiuming has been looking forward to the imperial court transferring him to the front line.

Hearing Lin Xiuming's question, Lin Gaoyuan smiled and then touched his beard.

"You're going to the front line soon."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Really? How many soldiers does your Majesty plan to give me?"

Lin Gaoyuan immediately said: "Don't be too happy. Your Majesty only plans to give you 20,000 soldiers, and your main task is not to fight, but to transport supplies."

Lin Xiuming was dumbfounded. He was a dignified general. He was not allowed to go to the front line to lead troops in the war. Instead, he was asked to work in logistics?

Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Xiuming were stunned, so he continued: "In addition, the front line I am talking about does not refer to the battle in the west, but the north.

"North...north?"

Lin Xiuming's face was full of confusion.

Isn't the war in the north already over? The Sirius King's tribe was demolished by the Northern King. He had just returned from Beijun, so why is there another war in the north? Who dares to provoke the King of the North who has 50,000 heavy cavalry at this time?

Lin Gaoyuan continued: "I just received the battle report when I went to court. The King of North Xian led an army of 200,000 people south. The King of North Korea sent a red silk messenger to ask for help from the court. Zhao Wenhan and the others think that the war with Dawu is more important now. So I plan to send you to Bei County to transport some supplies and help the King of Bei to resist the King of North Xian from going south. "

After hearing what his father said, Lin Xiuming was a little confused.

I just came back from Beijun not long ago, and I'm going to Beijun again?

Why did he go to Beijun? Did he go to Beijun to help King Bei clean the battlefield and carry the corpse?

The North King relied on the few soldiers in Beijun to be able to defeat even the 300,000 troops led by the Sirius King. The court needed to send troops north there.

Seeing that Lin Xiuming seemed a little unwilling, Lin Gaoyuan asked directly: "What, you don't want to?"

Lin Xiuming came to his senses and said, "Dad, with the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, there is no need for the imperial court to send troops north, right?"

Lin Gaoyuan said: "You thought that when you were sent north, you were asked to resist the 200,000-strong army of the Northern King. The imperial court sent you north just to stabilize the Northern King. After all, the Northern King sent a red silk messenger. Asking for help, who doesn’t know that King Bei’s methods are extraordinary and he doesn’t need help from the court at all? Your 20,000 soldiers are no different from the peasant soldiers in the transportation team.”

Lin Xiuming said unhappily: "It doesn't matter who you send. Why do you have to let me go? I still want to fight against the Dawu Dynasty and achieve more military exploits."

Lin Gaoyuan laughed, and then said: "How old are you this year? Why are you so anxious to achieve military success? Look at Zhou Wangtian and Mu Changtian, which one will end well."

Hearing what Lin Gaoyuan said, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was indeed not a good thing to have too many military achievements.

Lin Gaoyuan stroked his beard and said, "Now the ministers in the court and those noble families basically think that the 50,000 heavy cavalry are your majesty's private soldiers, but according to the news you brought back from Beijun, in my opinion, the fact that the national teacher was able to go to Beijun in person and asked you so many questions shows that your majesty doesn't know Beijun at all."

"These 50,000 heavy cavalry are most likely to only obey the orders of the King of the North. The King of the North is not a simple person. It won't hurt for you to get in touch with him more."

Hearing Lin Gaoyuan's words, Lin Xiuming was stunned.

His father was very taboo about the matter of succession. No matter which prince came to see him, he had the same attitude, that is, he would never stand with anyone, and basically had an attitude of not caring about it.

But today, his father actually asked him to get in touch with the King of the North. Doesn't this mean that his father is very optimistic about the King of the North and that the candidate for the crown prince in his mind is the King of the North?

Seeing Lin Xiuming looking at him in surprise, Lin Gaoyuan said, "What's that expression on your face? Is there something on my face or something?"

Lin Xiuming came back to his senses and said, "Dad, do you really think that the King of the North might end up..."

Lin Xiuming didn't continue, after all, such things were not convenient to discuss publicly.

Lin Gaoyuan said, "No one can say for sure. By the way, didn't you say last time that you met Xiaoyun in Beijun?"

Lin Xiuming had been in Beijun for so long, so he naturally heard about Xuanyue Palace opening a restaurant in Beijun. He also met Lin Wanyun and chatted for a few words.

Lin Xiuming said, "Well, I heard that she seems to have been living in the Northern King's Mansion."

Lin Gaoyuan pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "Although I don't know what Xuanyue Palace wants from the Northern King, it would be great if your sister could become the Northern King's woman."

Uh... this...

Lin Xiuming reminded, "Dad, if I remember correctly, Sister Yun is already in her thirties this year, and some people in their thirties have children as old as the Northern King..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Xiuming's meaning was very clear, that is, at Lin Wanyun's age, she could be the Northern King's mother.

Lin Gaoyuan glared at Lin Xiuming, then said, "You know shit. The Northern King lost his mother when he was young. People like him like mature women who are older than themselves. Look at Chu Yuqin, the wife of the Heavenly Wolf King, who is also about the same age."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and get ready quickly."

"The Ministry of Revenue has prepared the food and fodder for the expedition. You must go north in no more than five days."

Lin Xiuming sighed and said nothing more.
