7787 Willing to be the commander

“In addition, honorable nephew Zhong da has lived in the mountains and has rich survival experience, so he is naturally very familiar with military operations. The situation in the North is tense, and the three cities are in an emergency. With experience in the mountains and fields, it should be extremely easy to make a round trip. Thus, with honorable nephew Zhong da in command, this battle will definitely be a great victory!”

“As for strategy, if honorable nephew Zhong da is lacking, you can bring along two wise military counselors to assist you. As long as honorable nephew can listen to the military counselor’s plans, victory is in sight!”

Sima Yunqi’s anger was burning and he wanted to continue to argue but was stopped by Lin Yi!

What a joke, this was such a good opportunity that he could not even get it even if he begged for it. It was not easy for someone to come to his door, so he better not push it away!

“Father, grandfather Wang, if you don’t mind, I’m willing to lead the Army!”

Lin Yi cupped his fists and bowed seriously.”I also have some experience in marching and fighting. I have also studied the art of battle formations. In addition, I have several helpers, all of whom are Masters. They will definitely raise the prestige of our Commandery in this battle!”

Sima Yun paused-he just didn’t want Lin Yi to be in danger, not that he didn’t believe in Lin Yi’s abilities!

Not to mention anything else, just the standard of commanding the battle formation before, he knew that his son was a handsome talent!

Naturally, Sima Yunfei didn’t have good intentions when he recommended Lin Yi. As a father, Sima Yunfei had to object.

But if Lin Yi asked to fight, then he would fully support him!

“Father, what Zhong da said is true. He has a deep understanding of battle formations. If he has the confidence to be the commander, this son feels that it is possible!”

Sima Yun Qi’s attitude had a one hundred and eighty degree change. This time, it was Sima Yun Fei’s turn to be a little dumbfounded.

No, why did you change your stance without even saying a word?

I’ve prepared a lot of excuses to say!

It was very uncomfortable to hold it in!

Should I continue? But there was no point in saying it!

Sima Yunfei’s thoughts were in a mess. At this time, if the enemy supported him, he should oppose it. He should oppose Sima Zhong da being the commander, right?

No, I was the one who suggested this, and I’m against myself?

Sima Yunfei couldn’t help but scratch the back of his head. He decided to calm down and sort out this matter.

Sima zhengxin didn’t care what he was thinking, he stood up and laughed,””Good! As expected of a good man from our Sima clan! This is the momentum I want!”

“If that’s the case, then Zhong da will make preparations. Tomorrow morning, he will lead the Army! All the provisions, fodder, soldiers, and horses will be prepared by tonight!”

“Many thanks for grandfather Wang’s trust. This child will not fail this mission! This time, we will definitely break the Army of selencopper Commandery!”

Lin Yi bowed and accepted the order with a smile.

How troublesome would it be to scheme and scheme against them in the capital, establish his prestige and make a name for himself, and then slowly gain the right to speak?

Seitong Commandery had given him such a good opportunity to obtain military power, which would save him a lot of effort!

Since ancient times, political power came from the barrel of a gun. Whoever had soldiers in their hands would have a louder voice!

As long as he won this battle, Lin Yi’s power in Hongshang Commandery would soar!

Everyone looked at each other. It was decided just like that? Wasn’t that a little too rash?

Sima Yunfei started to doubt his life as well. He was the one who suggested that Lin Yi lead the battle, but now that it had really happened, he was worried and felt that he should object.

For example, he said that Zhong da had just returned and didn’t know anything about military affairs, and that it was easy to kill three armies …

Speaking of which, this old man was really bold. You dared to let a kid who had never led an Army and had not even investigated his background be in charge of an expedition?

Aren’t you afraid of losing all your money?

Sima Yunfei felt very conflicted. He wanted to say these things, but he didn’t dare to …

If he really said it, the old man would probably give him a big slap!

“Very good! This matter is settled, but this is only a decision made within the Sima clan. We still need to discuss it in the main hall. The few of you will go together, the rest of you can leave!”

Sima zhengxin waved his hand and called for Sima Yunfei and a few others with official positions to go with Lin Yi to the main hall.

The civil and military officials had already gathered in the hall. The seitong Commandery’s Army had invaded the border, so they did not dare to delay and rushed over as fast as they could.

Unexpectedly, the regional King did not come out. He only sent an old eunuch to brief them on the situation.

They waited for Sima Zheng Xin to come out with great difficulty and someone immediately came forward and said,””My King! After some discussion, we think that seitong Commandery has evil intentions by sending out troops at this time. They might join forces with other countries to attack, so this battle is extremely dangerous. If we can avoid it, it’s best not to fight!”

The corner of Sima zhengxin’s mouth twitched. He felt a little annoyed. Why were there so many people asking for peace and surrendering?

Just as he was thinking about this, someone else came out and said that they were determined to fight back. They absolutely could not tolerate and breed evil. The whole scene was basically the same as the previous Qiushi Hall.

Sima zhengxin didn’t want to see what had happened again, so he lightly knocked on the armrest of the throne a few times. When the main hall had quieted down, he slowly swept his gaze over the officials.

“I have already made a decision on this matter, so there is no need for my beloved ministers to say more. The seitong Commandery’s ambition can not be satisfied by peace talks. Therefore, I have decided to send out troops to defeat the 200000 troops of seitong Commandery!”

“This battle will be led by the grandson of the king, Sima Zhongda. He will select twenty thousand elites from the capital’s Garrison and thirty thousand elites from the garrison of the counties along the way. We will set off tomorrow morning!”

All the officials were shocked. Lin Yi hadn’t been back for long-not even a night had passed. Almost none of the officials had seen Lin Yi before, and they didn’t think he was reliable at all!

Before they could object, Sima zhengxin had already made his decision and called for Lin Yi to step out,””Sima Zhong da, step forward to receive the title!”

Lin Yi took a step forward and cupped his fists.”This Minister is Sima Zhong da!”

“I appoint you as the Conqueror general, you will command the Tiger Token, command the three armies, and lead the fight against the SE Tong Commandery! The military power of the king’s city is limited. We must leave enough soldiers to deal with the black charm Commandery. Therefore, I allow you to act according to the situation. You can recruit new soldiers on the spot!”

Sima zhengxin announced it himself, and Lin Yi bowed.

The officials wanted to object, but Sima Zheng Xin was determined, so it was useless no matter who objected!

Therefore, they only looked left and right, and in the end, no one stood out!

“Your Majesty, the Conqueror general is young and handsome, but this is his first time leading the Army alone. Should we send a few deputy marshals and military counselors to assist him?”

An old man stepped forward and cupped his fists as he suggested.

He was Feng ruoting, the current head of the Feng family, one of the four great families.

The Grand Commandant of Hongshang Commandery was one of the most powerful people in the capital.

Since Sima Zheng Xin was determined to let the Sima clan be the commander, Feng ruoting couldn’t object, so he’d just mix sand in!

The Vice Commander-in-Chief and the military counselor were also one of the most important positions in an Army.

If they cooperated well, they might have a chance to directly strip the Commander-in-Chief of his power!

“The Feng family is one of the few families of the country’s generals in Hongshang Commandery. How can we fall behind in such a war? The Feng family is willing to take on the responsibility of the Vice Commander-in-Chief and the military counselor!”

Sima zhengxin laughed coldly to himself. He wanted to invest in advance, right?
