Chapter 348 Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp

But unexpectedly, at this time, the eldest son Jin Yongzhe said that the rebellion was now strong, and even the coalition forces of Jin Mang and the barbarians were defeated by them.

My father was in his 60s and had lived in Nanze for a long time. The climate in Nanze was mild and humid while the north was cold and desolate. So he hurriedly went to lead the troops to fight. Maybe my father would catch the cold before the war started.

In this way, teach them how to rest assured that Jinling still has the general Zhenguo in charge. With him around, everything will be fine.

In this way, Jin Zhengxi was forcibly stopped again. For this, he was angry for a long time.

It wasn't until Jin Fengling moved to Nanze some time ago that everyone noticed something was wrong.

The recent news is that the general Zhenguo has been defeated and killed, Jinling has been captured by the rebels, and the rebels have ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor.

That day, everyone was silent.

In a rage, Kim Zhengxi summoned his sons and scolded them one by one.

They were the ones who blocked it many times in the beginning. Otherwise, how could he have allowed Jinling to be captured by the rebels if he had already gone to help!

But despite the scolding, he understood that it was time for him to leave the mountain.

Support the building when it is about to collapse, and turn the tide before it falls!

Da Gan must not fall into the hands of rebels!

At this moment, Jin Zhengxi looked solemn, cupped his fists towards Jin Fengling and said:

"Your Majesty! I ask for your orders to lead the army back to Jinling!"

After the words fell, there was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Jin Zhengxi.

The ministers had different expressions in their eyes, including admiration, shock, and worry.

Jin Jiande, who was standing on crutches, had a frown on his face and a strange look on his face.

His eyes kept glancing at Jin Zhengxi, and an unspeakable feeling arose in his heart.

Uncle? At such a young age, are you going to die? Jin Jiande thought so in his heart.

As for Jin Fengluan, who was sitting in the chair, after hearing Jin Zhengxi's request for orders, her face softened slightly, but her brows were still condensed. She said slowly:

"The old general is a loyal man. In times of crisis, he was the first to step forward. This is a blessing to the court."

"only....."

"Old General, you are already past your sixtieth year, how can you still be allowed to go to the battlefield to defeat the enemy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhengxi said loudly:

"His Majesty!"

"Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp!"

"I have been idle at home these past few years, and I often see in my dreams that in the past I was an iron horse, but now the traitor is brazenly brazen, ignoring His Majesty's might, and daring to proclaim himself emperor. How can I see this?"

"I must teach this thief to taste the power of our veterans!"

Jin Jiande stood up at this time and persuaded:

"Everyone knows the old general's great reputation in the past."

"It's just that the rebels now have many brave generals, and even the generals of the country have been defeated by him. Now the military strength in the court is no longer what it was before. If you want to defeat this traitor, you must take a long-term approach."

Having said this, he looked at Jin Fengling and continued:

"From the humble minister's perspective, we must first avoid the traitor's edge. He is called a false emperor, but he still wants to conduct state affairs. The traitor must be entangled in trivial matters now. How can he have the power to govern the country? In time, he will fall apart internally."

"In the meantime, it's best if we don't go to war."

As soon as he said this, Jin Zhengxi frowned and said in a deep voice to Jin Jiande:

"What are you talking about!"

"It's not okay for a traitor to call him a false emperor! How can we watch him occupy Jinling and consider himself the king of the country!"

"What does this mean to Your Majesty?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face turned red. At this moment, he turned to Jin Fengling and said:

"Your Majesty, I have been in the army for many years and have fought in many battles."

"It's not that I underestimate General Zhen Guo, it's just that although he is young, powerful and brave, his battlefield experience is not as good as mine. He held a large army, but was defeated by the rebels. It means he lacks battlefield experience!"

"If I had gone forward, I would not have been completely defeated!"

Jin Fengling nodded, thinking that this is not bad.

They gave Jin Jianren so many soldiers and horses, as well as Xiong Qian's heavy armored cavalry, but they were still defeated by the rebels one after another. Is it because they were really unable to unite the army that they were completely defeated?

Otherwise, why would we lose so miserably?

This traitor has never been defeated, and he cannot forcefully create soldiers to help him fight. Even if a few people are killed in a battle, it will be enough to wear down his troops.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Jin Fengling did suspect that something was wrong on his side.

Could it be that these generals under his command are all just doing it for a living? All of them are in name only, so they lose one game after another?

In the past two or three years, it is true that they have not fought any big battles. These people may have lived in peace for too long, and they are all arrogant and strong. They despised the enemy on the battlefield and ended up with a big defeat.

It is said that it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to deploy it. Could it be that raising and raising an army has resulted in a bunch of incompetent people?

Speaking of which, even if he were to fight in person, he would not be worse than them.

Just when he thought of this, Jin Fengling frowned, but saw Jin Zhengxi take out something from his arms.

That's a book.

Jin Zhengxi held up the book in his hand, raised it in the surprised eyes of the ministers, and then said loudly:

"Your Majesty! Look!"

"Everyone, be optimistic!"

He opened the book and said loudly:

"These past few years, I have been at home with nothing to do, so I have not been raising flowers and amusing birds!"

"I have recorded every battle I have fought over the years, extracted my fighting methods from them, and written down these various tactics!"

"So far, the 'Art of War in One Hundred Battles' has been written!"

"With the art of war in hand and my combat experience, even if the number of troops is insufficient, I can defeat more with less, fight fiercely against the enemy, and defeat all the rebels!"

His face was red and he looked high-spirited.

Jin Jiande lowered his head slightly, glanced at the "Hundred Battles Art of War", and snorted coldly in his heart:

'The rebels always bring out a large number of soldiers and horses for no apparent reason, and they have different tactics for all types of soldiers. What's the use of your 'hundred-battle tactics' in front of a real strong army? '

'It's almost like being a thatch. '

In the dragon chair, Jin Fengling frowned at this moment. It was not that he looked down on the veteran, but...

What he said today about defeating the rebels was so similar to what Xiong Qian, Jin Jianren and others said back then, but in the end...

Could it be...that they are the same thing?

Thinking of this, Jin Fengluan said in a deep voice:

"Okay, old general, you did a good job."

"It's a good thing to be able to write the art of war, but going to Jinling to defeat the rebels requires long-term planning. I don't want to send out troops again just after returning to Nanze."

"Let's wait for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Jiande's face lit up in the audience. He really didn't want to fight with the rebels anymore. It was too dangerous. Now it's best to seek stability. One day will pass. Thinking of this, he immediately said :

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Jin Zhengxi was a little unhappy, bowed and retreated into the crowd.

Jin Fengluan was furious when she saw Jin Jiande's face. She scolded Jin Jiande coldly:

"Hmph! What you said earlier was too ridiculous!"

Jin Jiande was stunned.

Jin Fengluan had a cold face and continued: "You said that traitors have no ability to govern the country. This is true."

"But, don't you know who is helping him run the country now?!"

As soon as he said this, Jin Jiande frowned and replied with a complicated expression:

"It's Zhang Li."
