"The late emperor sat in his seat for thirteen years, but natural disasters occurred in seven or eight years. The total number of imperial guards was as many as 800,000."

The old emperor frowned, and there were only 200,000 troops able to fight, only half of the Liao Kingdom's journey south.

The remaining 600,000 is all about taking money and not doing anything!

"Your Majesty, I just thought of a way to make up for the shortage of troops."

The Minister of War had a flash of inspiration and quickly replied.

"Speak quickly!"

"The national teacher Wu Tian still has 100,000 troops and horses. They have rich combat experience. If they can also transfer these 100,000 troops to the King of Jin, there will be 300,000 troops.

Although it is 100,000 less than the Liao Kingdom, we are fighting in the Song Dynasty. Relying on the familiar terrain and the support of the people for the court, it is not a problem to delay for three or five months.

During this period, the Ministry of War rectified the remaining 600,000 troops and selected them to practice. It should be able to gather 200,000 troops."

The new emperor was furious and shouted: "If the national guru is willing to go to war, I still need to be so distressed!

You dog head, you want me to be embarrassed!

The person who came, drag this guy down and dismissed from office!"

The two guards stepped forward and dragged the Minister of War without saying a word.

The new emperor was still angry, and the left prime minister stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty is relieved. The 200,000 army is only 200,000 army. As long as the dispatch is done, it can still defeat the 400,000 Liao army."

The new emperor calmed down a little and held the left prime minister's hand: "My dear, this time I depended on you."

The left nodded and retreated.

But the new emperor's face turned paler. Obviously, he felt that the chance of the Left Prime Minister's victory this time was slim.

...

The second day.

On the school ground.

The 200,000 army was ready to go. Although they had complete weapons and armor, they had no fighting spirit in their eyes.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty to the present, most of them have suffered a crushing defeat and even annihilated army.

At the Xinhuang Imperial Driving School, I personally gave Zuo Xiang three glasses of wine.

After taking the left, the first cup to the sky, the second cup to the earth, and the third cup to drink it yourself.

Although he had ambitions to serve the country, he also knew that he was old and he had to do it!

"When your Majesty returns, I will definitely drive the Liao people out of our territory in the Song Dynasty!"

As he said that, Zuo Xiang accidentally fell down by the steps.

The new emperor hurriedly went to support him, but his face became very gloomy.

It was so ominous that such a thing happened before going to war.

The Censor came out of duty and knelt in front of the new emperor: "Your Majesty, a warning from heaven is coming. I think the left prime minister is not suitable for going to war, so I should send someone else."

The new emperor angrily scolded the Censor: "I don't know in my heart that the left prime minister is not suitable for going to the battle, but who in the court is willing to go to the battle instead of the left prime minister!"

As soon as the words fell, a sound came from a distance: "The Wei minister Wu Tian is willing to lead his troops to fight instead of Zuo Xiang!"

The new emperor and Zuo Xiang were surprised.

Wu Tian walked to the new emperor, "Your Majesty is willing to let me go to war?"

The new emperor came forward in person, but it was not Wu Tian who saluted him, but the new emperor who saluted Wu Tian with his fists!

He held Wu Tian's hand and said excitedly: "Loyal ministers are revealed in troubled times, and my dear ministers are here at the right time.

I was wrong before. I should not doubt my beloved’s loyalty to the Song Dynasty, nor should I ignore my beloved’s golden marriage.

Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom would not have had an opportunity, nor would such a situation occur. I am here to apologize to my dear."

As he said that, Wu Tian of the New Dynasty bowed and apologized.
