Chapter 1153 - 1155: Battle Deployment
Chapter 1155:
Mo Shu’s words were calm and powerful, reasoned and evidenced.
Every word carried a strong confidence, and was highly convincing.
Many people on the scene who were not very familiar with Mo Shu all looked at her, somewhat impressed.
"Your words are reasonable," the Emperor nodded, "The reason I allow foreign countries to come and exchange is to gather strengths from various schools, to mutually progress and blend together. I have already tried hard to avoid such hidden dangers, but who knew that it would be impossible to guard against those with ulterior motives."
"Father," Mo Shu spoke out, "There is nothing wrong with gathering strengths from various schools. The mistake lies with those who, while learning the advantages of foreign countries, also raise flags and shout for attack as barbarians."
As soon as she said this, many people nodded in approval.
Mo Shu knelt down and said, "Father, your daughter believes that the Southern Border Country People are crafty and difficult to prevent, and that many generals should be promoted to alleviate our country’s urgent need for personnel."
The Emperor nodded, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"Yes," Mo Shu nodded, "Your daughter happens to have someone to recommend. He is both literarily and militarily talented, both brave and wise, a person of great wisdom. Your daughter believes he has the ability to help General Song pacify the Northern disturbances to ease our country’s peril."
The Emperor’s eyes lit up, "Who?"
Song Gu and Xuanyuan Yichuan also looked at Mo Shu, eyes filled with faint expectation.
Could it be about themselves?
Especially Xuanyuan Yichuan.
His talents were known throughout the nation.
If Mo Shu were to recommend him, it wouldn’t be impossible.
Thinking about this, Xuanyuan Yichuan felt his heart grow warm with excitement.
But Mo Shu spoke after a moment, respectfully saying, "It is my husband, the newly recruited Prince Consort, Qiao Cang."
Song Gu was disappointed, but somewhat expected.
But Xuanyuan Yichuan was shocked as he looked at her, quickly lowered his head, filled with unwillingness.
"This..." Prime Minister Wen was the first to speak, frowning, "Princess, such matters are no trifling matter, how can one treat it as a joke?"
Han Taiwei also said, "Princess, the battlefield is not a place for romantic entanglements, a little carelessness and lives could be lost. Princess, do not think anyone can make a name for themselves on the battlefield."
These words carried a somewhat mocking tone.
Many present heard it.
Everyone looked at Mo Shu, clearly distrustful.
But Mo Shu said, "He has this ability, moreover, how would we know without trying? The country urgently needs personnel now. If this one cannot be trusted, and that one cannot be trusted, then who can the country rely on for protection?"
As Mo Shu finished speaking, many frowned.
Mo Shu continued, "North, South, East, West; the Northern area has already suffered great damage to its Essence Energy, urgently needing replenishment of military resources. As for the Southwestern Three, heavier deployment is necessary for unforeseen needs, thus requiring conscription. Soldiers can be trained, but there are few generals who can train elite soldiers. Coincidentally, Qiao Cang has this ability."
"How can you prove it?" Minister Zhong snorted coldly.
Mo Shu glanced sideways with a smile, "There’s no way to prove it except by facts. I suggest letting General Song lead Prince Consort to support the North, Little General Song with Young Master Xuan Yuan to go to the West, while the other seasoned generals retain their original areas, Marquis Xuan Yuan oversees the home and nation, what do you all think?"
Mo Shu’s words made Minister Zhong and others fall into contemplation.
Han Taiwei said, "But what if the main enemy force attacks the West, Little General Song along with Young Master Xuan Yuan won’t be able to hold it."
