C824 The Northern Barbarians(2)
Although he didn't care much about national affairs, it didn't mean that Yang Xuan wasn't sensitive to such matters. When he thought about the importance of the horses of Barbarian Clan to Wei Kingdom and what Xu Ruxian had just said, his eyes lit up. He said to Xu Ruxian, "prime minister Xu, are you really going to attack Barbarian Clan?"0
"That's right. That damned Barbarian Clan actually dared to invade our country. Why can't we invade our country?" Zhou Fengmiao said with righteous indignation. The sneak attack of the Barbarian Clan had caused him to lose the Profound Gate Pass. After that, he was forced to retreat, even though the Barbarian Clan was caught off guard. In addition to that, the Barbarian Clan had used a sneak attack to achieve their goal. However, no matter what, this incident had always been a thorn in Zhou Fengmiao's heart that he couldn't let go.
After Zhou Fengmiao finished speaking, Xu Ruxian nodded his head and said to Yang Xuan, "All along, your reputation in Wei Kingdom has been very high. In the hearts of the younger generation, you even seem to be more suspicious than me." As Xu Ruxian spoke, he looked at Yang Xuan as if he was complaining. This makes Yang Xuan somewhat embarrassed as he rubs his nose. Of course, Xu Ruxian didn't care about Yang Xuan stealing his limelight. What he cared about more was that Yang Xuan actually stole the heart of his only disciple, Yuh Qingcheng, without anyone knowing. Furthermore, Yuh Qingcheng had resolutely chosen to go to the major sects of Central Province to increase her strength for Yang Xuan. This was something that had driven many of the young geniuses of Wei Kingdom crazy.
However, Xu Ruxian was a legendary figure that only appeared once every few hundred years in Wei Kingdom, so he wouldn't have to worry about such matters. Furthermore, Yang Xuan's strength had already been acknowledged by him, so he didn't say anything. If Yang Xuan was just a trash, perhaps Xu Ruxian would really be ruthless enough to make Yang Xuan disappear from this world.
Yang Xuan, who didn't know that he had escaped from this disaster, was still waiting for Xu Ruxian's next words. Xu Ruxian paused for a moment. He continued, "That's because when you were in the army of Profound Gate Pass, your ability to lead troops and fight was really good. In addition, you were the one who solved the disaster of the two ghost cultivators in Wei Kingdom. Therefore, among the younger generation, you are the one who solved the problem. You have become a role model for them. However, this isn't the only reason why we sent our troops to the Barbarian Clan. "
" That's right. I was the one who suggested the plan to attack Barbarian Clan in the north. I am also fortunate to have the support of prime minister Xu, General Zhou, and my teacher. "
Guan Bing, who had been standing beside Zhou Fengyuan, spoke to Yang Xuan. He was known as the thick-skinned man who ruled the country in the future. He had just been appointed as the Left Minister not long ago, but he had already gotten used to this identity. He had truly raised himself to the same level as Xu Ruxian.
Xu Ruxian's eyes sparkled, but he didn't show any displeasure. Although he was very petty in matters related to him, he didn't really care how others treated him.
The corner of Guan Bing's mouth revealed a smile and said, "There are three reasons why I proposed this idea.
First, Wei Kingdom has been recuperating for many years and has become so powerful that it is one of the top existences in the entire East Continent. Although such strength is unable to gain a foothold in the complicated Central Province, but in the relatively simple East Continent, the strength structure is relatively simple. It could still be said. However, the Barbarian Clan in the north would attack from time to time, challenging the dignity of the Wei Kingdom. This was one of the reasons why we had to attack him.
Secondly, although the Emperor Wai Xuan was talented and intelligent, whether it was in terms of politics or cultivation, he was able to quickly learn the things that we taught him, but he did not have the slightest bit of reputation before he became the Emperor. This also caused many people in the Wei Kingdom to be dissatisfied with him. This was a matter that couldn't be solved. Especially after the Emperor ascended to the throne, many of the new policies that we have decided on have touched upon the interests of many people. If this continues, perhaps the Emperor's position might be shaken. After discussing with the Emperor, I have decided on the upcoming war against the Barbarian Clan in the north. At the same time, I will also help him understand the situation of the Wei Kingdom's army. It will also allow him to establish his prestige in front of all the great officials in the country.
Three... "
Before Guan Bing could finish, Zhou Fengmiao interrupted him and said to Yang Xuan," This third place, of course, is because I am unhappy. "
Guan Bing concluded, "How is it? After listening to all this, do you think you should contribute to the rise of Wei Kingdom, Imperial Advisor?"
"Alright, you have a good reason. I agree. But prime minister Xu, we have to make this clear first. After resolving the matter of Barbarian Clan, you can't use any reason not to tell me about my parents."
Yang Xuan nodded and said to Xu Ruxian.
Xu Ruxian smiled slightly as a reply. He then said to Yang Xuan, "I have said it just now. The main reason why you are famous in Wei Kingdom is because you are good at leading troops and fighting. But this time, we don't want you to personally lead the troops or take part in the command. Because this time, the northern expedition of Wei Kingdom is to use the power of the entire country to wash away the shame. Thus, I will take charge of the position of marshal. And your mission is to lead the people of Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. Investigate the situation."
"Yes."
Seeing Yang Xuan agree so straightforwardly, Xu Ruxian nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Alright, you can leave now. Although this decision has been made, my strength hasn't fully recovered yet. Thus, it is not the time to take action yet. After obtaining the Thousand Illusion Grass, give me three more days. Three days later, I will gather all the soldiers in the country to gather in Profound Gate Pass. Before that, no one can tell anyone about this matter. If I find out who spread this news, I will treat it as leaking military information. Even Marshal Zhou is no exception. "
Xu Ruxian said to everyone in his eyes, especially to Zhou Fengmiao. Back when Xu Ruxian was still commanding the troops at the border, Zhou Fengmiao was still Xu Ruxian's subordinate. There was a time when the army plotted a sneak attack on a small team of Barbarian Clan, but it was told by Zhou Fengmiao after he got drunk. Although in the end, Zhou Fengmiao made a meritorious contribution and took down that small team, this matter was still remembered by Xu Ruxian in his heart.
Zhou Fengmiao's face suddenly looked like a bitter melon, but because Xu Ruxian was his boss, he could only swallow his anger and not dare to say anything. Guan Bing and Yang Xuan couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhou Fengmiao's deflated face.
However, no one knew that this war would decide the position of the overlord of East Continent in the next thousand years. It was actually started by a person who had just entered the capital for three months. After that, it was decided in the midst of everyone's laughter and discussion.
