Chapter 954: The Flexible Old Man 3

As Xiao Wanchou finished speaking, Yun Li became even more depressed.

Yes!

Juzhou only has 30,000 troops led by Zhou Daogong!

This year, the imperial court supplemented some armor for Zhou Daogong, but there are still nearly 10,000 people without armor.

If Yun Zheng wanted to do something unexpected, it would almost be a dream to rely on these 30,000 people to resist the 50,000 elite soldiers who had experienced many battles.

Yun Li had a headache and asked tiredly, "What suggestions does Duke Yu have?"

Xiao Wanchou looked embarrassed, "I do have some ideas, but I have some concerns."

"Duke Yuguo, don't worry, but you can say it."

Yun Li was very magnanimous, as if he would not pursue anything Xiao Wanchou said.

"I think we can send Xue Che to lead the troops to Juzhou to resist the Northern Army!"

Xiao Wanchou glanced at Yun Li's expression and continued, "But I have two concerns!"

"First, Xue Che was originally a criminal, but His Royal Highness took advantage of His Majesty's inspection of the Northwest Protectorate to re-entrust Xue Che with an important task. If His Majesty knew about this, I wonder if he would blame His Royal Highness."

"Secondly, Xue Che is an upright person. He has never wanted our dynasty to fall into civil war. If we send Xue Che, I don't know if he will work hard for the court."

Xiao Wanchou's worries are justified.

Regarding the first point, Yun Li was not worried at all.

Emperor Wen originally wanted him to re-employ Xue Che.

Emperor Wen knew about this and would definitely not blame me.

But the second point he had to worry about.

Although Xue Che was grateful for his reinstatement, the old man really had no intention of starting a civil war.

Letting Xue Che lead his troops to Juzhou, not only Xiao Wanchou had concerns, he also had concerns!

However, in the court today, there are only three talented generals: Xiao Wanchou, Xue Che, and Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was in the northwest, and Xiao Wanchou was in charge of the Ministry of War.

If we don’t send Xue Che, who else can we send?

Yun Li already had a headache, and the thought of this made it even worse.

Yun Li rubbed his aching temple and looked at Xu Shifu and the other two, "What do you think?"

Facing Yun Li's question, Xu Shifu and the other two looked at each other but said nothing.

There is no way to talk about this kind of thing!

It is said that if you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him.

They wanted to use Xue Che, but they were also worried about him.

It’s better not to use it!

However, if they didn't use Xue Che, they really didn't know who to use.

"Why, you don't have anything to say?"

Yun Li raised his eyes and looked at the three people, seeming displeased.

Gu Xiu was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, we can dispatch tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Juzhou, and let Zhou Daogong lead them!"

"Or, send Zhao Ji with tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Juzhou!" Tang Shu added: "Zhao Ji is also a talented commander. If he guards Juzhou, I believe Yun Zheng's troops will not dare to act rashly."

Xiao Wanchou: "If we send Zhao Ji to Juzhou, then we can only send Xue Che to the northwest."

Hearing their words, Xu Shifu and Yun Li looked at each other at the same time.

Send Zhao Ji to Juzhou?

How can it be!

If Zhao Ji was transferred away from the northwest, wouldn't that be equivalent to handing over the military power of the northwest to Xue Che?

Zhao Ji is the trump card in Yun Li's hand, and he is unwilling to transfer Zhao Ji away from the northwest.

"I think Zhao Ji is the most suitable person to guard the northwest and should not be transferred."

Xu Shifu immediately suggested: "If Your Highness does not want to use Xue Che, then order Zhao Ji to select a capable and skilled general from the northwest to lead the troops to Juzhou!"

Yun Li lowered his brows in thought.

It seems that this is the only way!

"Let's do this first!"

Yun Li sighed helplessly, "I will send another letter to the emperor and see what his decision will be!"

"So good!"

Xu Shifu agreed, but felt secretly moved in his heart.

Yun Li has indeed grown a lot since he became regent.

He could obviously make the decision on this matter himself, but he still had to ask Emperor Wen for his opinion.

This is equivalent to telling Emperor Wen clearly that he still has Emperor Wen in his eyes.

He was only the crown prince who regent, and had no intention of overthrowing Emperor Wen and seizing power.

It is rare that Yun Li could think of this.

Since Yun Li had already made his decision, the four of them didn't say anything more.

Yun Li was in a bad mood, so he asked Xiao Wanchou and others to go back first, leaving Xu Shifu behind, saying that he wanted to talk to him about money and grain.

After Xiao Wanchou and the others left, Yun Li immediately asked Xu Shifu about the matter of making money from the wedding.

He felt very painful to give away so much money!

Only by getting more money through a grand wedding can his wounded heart be soothed.

Xu Shifu replied: "The wealthy people around the imperial city have already sent us silver, which adds up to about 1.3 million taels! After a while, we should be able to receive more than 3 million taels of silver..."

More than three million taels?

Hearing Xu Shifu's words, Yun Li's eyes instantly glowed green.

It looked like a hungry wolf.

This money is so easy to make!

When I get married, with some gifts from the ministers in the court and officials at all levels below me, there should be at least one or two million taels of silver, right?

Wouldn’t it be possible to get several million taels of silver in one go?

No wonder that bastard Lao Liu likes to cheat others out of their money so much.

The feeling of making money is really wonderful!

Yi Yunli suppressed his excitement and asked, "Do those wealthy businessmen have any objections?"

"No."

Xu Shifu smiled and said, "Being able to attend the wedding celebration of His Highness and Princess Yangjin is a blessing that many people would love to have! As long as you come, it will bring honor to the family."

Xu Shifu's method of raising money was also very simple.

It’s just selling seats to attend Yun Li’s wedding celebration!

For many people, this is an opportunity to get to know senior officials in the court.

Those people are so happy that they don’t even have time to complain.

"Well, these people finally have some sense!"

Yun Li smiled with satisfaction.

"But your highness, this kind of thing only needs to be done once."

Xu Shifu smiled: "If you do this too much, this opportunity will be worthless..."

"I know."

Yun Li laughed, "If I hadn't been short of money, I wouldn't have wanted those people to come to my wedding and mess up my wedding!"

Yun Li was very satisfied with what Xu Shifu had done.

It's just that this matter is a bit cheap.
