Zhao Dongting was in the imperial study room, holding Su Quandang's letter of request for battle in his hand, and slowly read out the contents of the letter in his mouth. His brows gradually frowned.

Even Eunuch Liu was beside him, frowned slightly behind him.

Zhang Polu, who was wiping the bookcase in the corner of the wall, quietly looked here.

Zhao Dongting gently put the letter back on the desk and fell into deep thought.

It is normal for the army on the front line to send letters of war. Zhao Dongting realized that this was his negligence and should have expected that the front line soldiers would have such a move.

In the end, I still haven't thought from the perspective of others.

Zhao Dongting, who was in charge of Changsha, could be considered pampered and lived a life of luxury, did not care about continuing to waste time with the Yuan Dynasty, but the soldiers on the front line did not think so.

They all thought in their hearts that they could destroy the Yuan Kingdom earlier and then return to the court in triumph. But now, they were wasting their time on the front line.

The civil servants are doing things in the development base area, and the army at most only helps them maintain public order. In the absence of any chaos, it is really empty.

Apart from training, the soldiers are training. Of course, they will have the idea of ​​either going to war with the Yuan army sooner or going back to the military region to train.

This seems not a big deal, but it is worthy of attention. Zhao Dongting knew very well that in this case, his decision could greatly affect morale.

But it is impossible to agree to Su Quandang lead his army to the expedition.

Zhao Dongting has made a decision not to risk the danger of breaking the death to start a war with the Yuan Dynasty. Even if the battle is to start, he has to wait until the right time. He can decide the opportunity in one fell swoop.

And if Su Quandang did not agree to Su Quandang, what would the soldiers on the front line think?

They had already been asked to quit the front line before, but it can be understood as letting the army rest and recuperate. Now the army has already been resting and can we not even give them a reason?

Let the soldiers wait on the front line in a daze?

Zhao Dongting could think of that kind of confused feeling. If this were the case, the soldiers on the front line would probably be anxious and uneasy after a short while.

This is quite dangerous for the army.

If your mind is unstable, you will be in chaos.

"Please invite Deputy Military Order Su and Minister Zhong Zhong from the Ministry of War!"

Realizing that he could not reply to this matter hastily, Zhao Dongting turned around and said to Eunuch Liu.

"yes."

Eunuch Liu hurriedly agreed and walked out of the imperial study room.

Soon after, Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian appeared together outside the imperial study room. They worked in the Military Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of War respectively, and the distance was very close.

"My minister Su Liuyi bowed to the emperor..."

"My minister Zhong Jian bowed to the emperor."

Both of them saluted Zhao Dongting when they entered the house. Eunuch Liu brought a chair to Su Liuyi.

Zhao Dongting said, "Give me a seat to Secretary Zhong!"

Zhang Polu was in the corner and hurriedly tied up a chair.

This surprised Zhong Jian a little. He had never enjoyed such treatment before, and then he thought that he was afraid that the emperor would have some headaches to discuss.

Thinking of the fact that the only one who was Xuan was only from the military order of Deputy Su, he took the initiative to ask: "The emperor suddenly came to Xuanchen and Deputy Su's military order. Could it be that there was any change in the front line?"

Zhao Dongting nodded to Zhong Jian with great appreciation.

The familiar faces he often sees in the entire court should be considered smart people, at least not stupid, but it is rare to be able to do this as Zhong Jian as a slight person.

Perhaps this has something to do with Zhong Jian's background. He is always more careful than others and is more willing to use his brain.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Dongting said: "Marson Su from the front line sent a letter of war to ask me to allow me to lead his army to the Zhongdu with him."

Su Liuyi showed shock on his face because he didn't even know about this.

Then he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Quan Dang is reckless..."

He had just decided to "rest" with Zhao Dongting, Zhong Jian and others, and was worried that Su Quandang's letter of request would make Zhao Dongting unhappy.

Because this is definitely not in line with the emperor's wishes.

Before he could explain to Su Quandang, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "The deputy military order does not need to be like this. I understand Marshal Su. He is not a reckless person."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized Su Liuyi's intention, and couldn't help laughing, and then continued: "This letter of war is not necessarily Su Shuai's personal meaning. It's probably not the case. Calculate the time, the soldiers on the front line have been resting in the base area for a long time. I have never conveyed the new order, and it is inevitable that they are confused. Requesting to fight means that the soldiers have made sufficient preparations, which is a good thing."

Su Liuyi breathed a light tone.

He could see that this was the true thought in the emperor's heart.

Then he still noticed something was wrong and asked in confusion: "If the soldiers of the army meant it, why didn't the military order send a message back in person?"

Wen Tianxiang is now in Songcheng. In terms of military rank and status in the army, the army in Songcheng must be dominated by Wen Tianxiang at this time, and there is no reason why Su Quandang wrote a letter to ask for battle.

"hehe."

Zhao Dongting laughed again when he heard this, "You don't know the temperament of Su Shuai and Yue Shuai. Before they wrote the letter, they must have discussed it with the military order, but they didn't get it."

Wen Tianxiang is calm and calm. Before he gets a clear order, he will definitely insist on keeping his troops in motion. Zhao Dongting knows this very clearly.

It is normal for Yue Peng, who was unable to pry open the door from Wen Tianxiang, to go directly to the imperial study room. With the temperament of both of them, it is not uncommon to do such a thing.

Looking at Zhong Jian, Zhao Dongting said, "But it's definitely not possible to fight now. I, the two beloved ministers, came to ask them how they could calm the restless morale of the front-line soldiers while maintaining the pre-order conditions. The low-level soldiers in the army did not know what the extreme powerhouses came to the palace, but even if they knew, they might not be able to empathize. It is impossible for the front-line army to continue to rest in such a reason, and they had to think of a more appropriate reason."

Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian both thought about it when they heard this.

Zhao Dongting made the words very obvious, and of course they could all understand Zhao Dongting's intentions.

And this is not an easy problem to solve. Otherwise, Zhao Dongting would not have given them to him, and he would have come up with a solution.

The long silence in the imperial study room.

Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian both frowned slightly and said nothing.

After a long time, Zhong Jian looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, maybe I can try it."

"speak."

Zhao Dongting said.
