Chapter 651: The Living King of Hell in the House
Most of the prince's direct team are still young officials, and their enthusiasm has not been completely wiped out by the court.
At the meeting, everyone was eager to try and vowed to teach Xirong a lesson.
The conservatives came up with an idea: in the past, it was the Western Rong who harassed the Dashun Dynasty. Could it be that in the future, the Dashun Dynasty would harass the Western Rong?
The northwest is bitterly cold, so if you need anything, you can go to the territory of Xirong.
They took whatever they needed, just like the Western Rong cavalry who had burned, killed, and looted during the Dashun Dynasty.
More radical factions directly stated that this was too time-consuming. They were not of our race and their hearts must be different. They should march directly into the heart of the Western Rong and imitate the previous dynasty's wheel-shaped beheading method. Anyone who was higher than the wheel tracks would be killed!
The adult males of the Western Rong tribes were slaughtered, leaving only children and women, and then they were incorporated into the Dashun Dynasty.
The centrists are slightly more moderate and mainly more mature.
He said that even if the Western Rong did not enter the territory of the Dashun Dynasty, their backbone and bones would be broken. At the very least, the Western Rong would have to submit to the Dashun Dynasty and pay tribute every year within 30 years.
That's a very eloquent talk.
Fu Zhiyi was stunned listening to this.
This was the first time I saw this living devil in this room.
It is said that military generals are brutal in killing surrendered soldiers, but most of the people in this room are of literati origin, so why are they so radical?
After all, he has never been to the battlefield and has never experienced the cruel stranglehold on the battlefield, so he takes everything for granted.
The prince was also speechless.
I asked you to come up with a countermeasure, but you came up with one plan after another to exterminate your clan?
But you know what, it sounds really exciting.
In recent years, the border areas between the northwest of the Dashun Dynasty and the Western Rong have always been harassed by the Western Rong, and the people living in the border areas have suffered terribly.
Can the Dashun Dynasty now let the Western Rong people also taste its own suffering?
The expectant look turned to Fu Zhiyi.
Fu Zhiyi rubbed his brows and raised a few questions: "If we really want to fight, will the court agree?"
"Will Your Majesty agree?"
"Are there enough food and military funds?"
"Who is the head coach?"
……
The Crown Prince waved his hand, and everyone gathered together to discuss the matter again.
Half a day later, a room full of black-hearted civil servants came up with a plan.
Make use of the captured King of Xirong.
You have to know that the Dashun Dynasty does not keep idle people, and even if he is a prisoner, he has to work hard for the Dashun Dynasty.
Let the Dashun Dynasty use the banner of the King of Xirong returning to Xirong to suppress the rebellion, and first test the situation on the Xirong side.
It would be best to use this excuse to destroy the Western Rong country.
The second point was to scare the Western Rong and make them submit and pay tribute.
The worst case scenario is to muddy the waters in Xirong, reap some benefits, and then withdraw the troops.
Then he sent troops to harass the Xirong every year, letting the boomerang hit the Xirong.
If this is the case, I think His Majesty and the court should be able to approve it.
As for food and military expenses, if Your Majesty can approve this plan, there will be no need to worry.
As for the selection of head coach, everyone looked at Fu Zhiyi with anticipation.
Fu Zhiyi was stunned, and suddenly felt something was wrong: "No, why are you all looking at me?"
The Crown Prince patted Fu Zhiyi on the shoulder and said, "We all think you'd be a great commander! You have experience, and you captured the King of Xirong alive, so you have the upper hand over him! Besides, if this battle really breaks out, you're the only one I can trust!"
Fu Zhiyi frowned and said nothing.
The people around him, seeing that Fu Zhiyi didn't immediately pat his chest to express his agreement, immediately showed dissatisfaction. Someone jumped out and said, "Master Fu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a contribution. It is because His Highness trusts you that he entrusted you with this important task. You must not let him down—"
"Back off!" The prince's face darkened and he scolded.
The man originally wanted to flatter the prince, but he was scolded instead. His face turned pale and blue.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people nearby immediately dragged the man out.
Others also found an excuse to leave.
Only the prince and Fu Zhiyi were left in the room.
The Crown Prince sat beside Fu Zhiyi without any dignity. "You know, this is not only the task given to me by my father, but also the first authority I want to establish in the court! Otherwise, those people will think that they are still respecting my father, and treat me, the Crown Prince, as a mascot, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying him."
"If I don't show some real ability and let them see the methods of a prince like me, I'm afraid that even if I ascend the throne, those old foxes will still try to control me!"
These words are full of resentment.
It’s no wonder that the prince has such a strong resentment. It was fine when the emperor was by his side and teaching him.
Those old foxes were very polite in front of the emperor.
But there was a lot of hindrance behind the scenes.
The regent's behavior has become even more obvious during this period, and sometimes it is obvious that he is just fooling him.
Do you really think he is as easy to fool as Prince Shou and Prince Wei?
The person he trusts and relies on the most now is only Fu Zhiyi, so naturally he hopes that Fu Zhiyi can understand and support him.
Fu Zhiyi frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking, "This battle won't be easy. Just like you said, after we conquer the Western Rong, how do we govern them? How do we assimilate them? These are all difficult problems, and they won't be accomplished overnight."
"The most important thing is, if you let me be the commander-in-chief, I'm afraid my subordinates will not accept it. After all, I have no experience in leading troops in battle."
The prince knew that this was indeed difficult for Fu Zhiyi, and his face suddenly wrinkled.
"What should we do then? Should we just give up like this?"
Fu Zhiyi glanced at the Crown Prince speechlessly. "Some things, especially those concerning two countries, don't necessarily require a direct approach. Can't we seek an indirect solution?"
When the prince heard this, he realized that the words had other implications. He immediately sat up straight and looked at Fu Zhiyi expectantly.
"Tell me quickly, how do you seek in the song?"
Fu Zhiyi smiled faintly. "Why do we have to mobilize such a large army? Why not let the King of Xirong go back and let him fight among his rivals for the throne? We can infiltrate the King of Xirong with our own men and wait for the right moment to capture them all."
"The Western Rong are a nation of numerous tribes, scattered throughout the land on ordinary days, gathering only during major festivals. If we want to crush the Western Rong, we must wipe out all of them! Only by using the name of the Western Rong King can we gather the tribal leaders together and capture them in their trap."
"By then, the tribes will be leaderless and in disarray. If we take advantage of the situation and move in, wouldn't that minimize the losses and achieve the best results?"
The prince understood.
It sounds so nice, but in fact, we don’t do it openly, we do it secretly.
He sent people to sneak into the Western Rong, and in the name of the King of the Western Rong, he took advantage of the time when these leaders were gathering to wipe them out and assassinate them all.
Compared to the so-called earth-shattering plan that their group of people had just come up with, this method seemed more reliable.
If it can be done, it will be a great achievement at the lowest cost.
The prince's eyes lit up. This was very feasible!
