If we increase our troops on a small scale, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog on the endless prairie, and we will never come back.

But if we don't fight and instead seek peace.

For the time being, let’s not mention the shameless lives of Da Zhou and Emperor Zhengde.

But Da Zhou showed even a little bit of his willingness to seek peace.

With the temperament of Yi Zhixie, the Xiongnu Chanyu, he is bound to be shameless and push for the next step again and again.

Moreover, the most important thing is that once the willingness to seek peace is revealed, the Western Region will inevitably stir up trouble again.

For a while.

With Li Guangli's defeat, Da Zhou fell into a dilemma.

As time passed slowly, the silence in the imperial study gradually turned into a ghostly silence.

Moreover, the dead silence has slowly solidified in silence.

It is a matter of national destiny for a country, and no one dares to be the first to speak out.

After a while.

Emperor Zhengde's eyes slowly wandered among the ministers for a week.

Finally, it fell on Xu Yong, who was at the bottom.

Emperor Zhengde slowly asked: "What do you think, Prince?"

Xu Yong's heart trembled, and then he slowly said: "I would like to inform my father, for the sake of my son and ministers."

"We should increase the number of the king's troops and use the power of thunder to eradicate the Xiongnu Zuoguli King's tribe."

"That Jotun only dared to travel within three hundred miles of Yunzhong Pass with more than ten thousand wolf guards."

"It shows how arrogant his arrogance is."

"If this traitor can be eradicated with the force of thunder, it will definitely serve as a warning to the monkeys."

"Moreover, Jordan is one of the six kings of the Xiongnu. If he is killed by the formation, it will definitely cause panic among the Xiongnu tribes."

"When the time comes, by taking advantage of the victory and pursuing the enemy, our dynasty will surely be able to drive the Xiongnu tribes thousands of miles away."

After he finished speaking, Xu Yong bowed his hands again.

Emperor Zhengde slowly moved his gaze to the ministers.

Tian Yichu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, moved slightly, but in the end he was still unable to take that step.

After more than ten breaths.

Sparse voices of agreement continued to be heard from the imperial study.

After nearly half of the comments have been made.

Emperor Zhengde nodded slightly and said: "In the opinion of everyone who loves you, if there is a war, who can take on this important task?"

The words are over.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room is no longer as depressing as it was just now.

One name after another came out from the mouths of the ministers.

The person's name is often blurted out, and the next moment there is opposition from others.

The older ones cannot withstand the fatigue of traveling and driving.

He is young and lacks battlefield experience, making it difficult for him to take on big responsibilities.

As for the young and powerful middle-aged generals...

Either he was injured and returned home, or he had already gone to war with Li Guangli.

Or he holds an important position in a border area and is unable to escape easily.

Just like after the decisive battle in Mobei in the 15th year of Zhengde.

The military generals and forces of the Zhou Dynasty completely entered an era of inactivity.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The debate among the officials in the royal study has turned into a quarrel among the officials.

The dignitaries and dignitaries who had always been so harmonious in the past seemed to have turned into hawkers at this moment.

Although it is not as constant as the "greetings" when hawkers in the market quarrel.

But the verbal exchanges between you and me are even worse than the cordial greetings between vendors in the market.

Just as the quarrel became more intense.

Xu Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly slowly emerged from the queue.

He cupped his hands and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have a candidate who may be able to take on this important task."

As soon as these words came out, the quarrel in the imperial study room stopped instantly.

Xu Yong and more than ten pairs of eyes all looked at Jin Wang Xu Zhen.

"Oh?" Emperor Zhengde was very curious and asked: "Who did King Jin talk about?"

Xu Zhen bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, the person I am talking about is Li Ling, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

As soon as the word Li Ling came out, the already quiet ministers in the imperial study instantly became even quieter.

The atmosphere among the ministers actually became a little subtle at this moment.

No one thought that Li Ling, the former Xiaoqi guerrilla general, was now the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Strictly speaking, Li Ling is currently the most suitable person in the capital to lead troops on an expedition.

In the final analysis, it is just interests.

Considering Emperor Zhengde's temperament and the current situation.

The Great Zhou Dynasty did not send out troops, but once it did, it would be with thunderous force and a sharp sword to cut through the mess.

Without him, the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time really could not afford to spend years and months of war.

In this way, although this expedition is dangerous, the benefits are greater.

No one wants to waste a great opportunity by recommending someone who never joins cliques.

But Xu Zhen is different.

At this time, Xu Zhen didn’t care about the so-called ‘interests.’

At this time, Xu Zhen only wanted to do his best to stabilize the giant ship of Dazhou that was about to be silenced.

In order to buy more time for his nephew who is far away in Yandi to strengthen himself.

"Li Ling, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" Emperor Zhengde murmured in his heart when he heard this, and quickly searched for memories about Li Ling in his mind.

Perhaps it was really because of his old age that Emperor Zhengde's memory was no longer what it used to be.

‘It turns out it’s him.’ After more than a hundred breaths, Emperor Zhengde paused slightly and murmured in his heart: “This son is really capable of taking on this important task.”

Emperor Zhengde composed himself calmly, and then slowly said: "We will discuss this matter after the meeting tomorrow."

The words are over.

Emperor Zhengde slowly looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Since I came to the throne, I have always rewarded my merits and punished my mistakes."

"What do you think of the defeat in Mobei?"

As soon as this statement came out, it basically set the tone for this matter.

No matter what the reason for the defeat is in the memorial.

A defeat is a defeat! This is a fact, a fact that cannot be changed.

As the commander-in-chief of this expedition, Li Guangli was certainly to blame.

For a moment, the imperial study room was quiet again and one could hear a needle drop.

After more than a hundred breaths.

Just when the atmosphere was about to turn into dead silence again.

Prince Xu Yong slowly stepped down to the lower position.
Chapter completed!
