Chapter 1243 Assassination
Seeing Chen Chu like this, the four cabinet ministers couldn't help laughing, and everyone was tacit.
"Transport all the armored equipment stored in Luoyang, Youzhou, and Bingzhou to Dingbei Fortress!" Chen Chu ordered.
"Your Majesty, there are 200,000 sets of these materials in total! I wonder how Your Majesty plans to hand them over to both countries?" Lu Su said.
Chen Chu thought for a moment, "Although there is only interests between countries, sometimes generosity is necessary! We will not take any penny of these 200,000 sets of armored equipment!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" the four of them couldn't help but say.
"Zijing, you have always been responsible for the logistics and supplies, and this matter will still be left to you!" "Yes!"
Chen Chu glanced at the four people and frowned: "The founding of the nine tribes of East and West Siberia is a shocking event for Ross. They will never sit still! We must prepare for it!"
"Your Majesty, the total force of the Northern Protectorate is close to 350,000, so there should be no problem!" Lu Su said.
Chen Chu nodded and asked, "How many troops do you think if the Ross intervenes fully, can they mobilize at present?"
Zhuge Liang thought, "Our army has 550,000 troops in the Western Regions, and the Ross people are unlikely to mobilize troops from the Western Regions! The Caucasus Mountains must guard against the restoration of the Bospru Kingdom and the army of the Roman Empire, so even if the troops are transferred, the number is limited! A guard army that is garrisoned by the imperial capital cannot be mobilized! The reserve forces that Ross can use on the eastern front are only two guards garrisons on the west bank of the Tunguska River and tribal coalitions and guards from various places. Although the number is huge, its combat power is limited. In addition, the logistics supplies of the Ross people have been greatly damaged in the previous battle with our Qin Dynasty, so it is afraid that it will be difficult to support an overly large number of troops!"
Chen Chu nodded, "Although that's the case, we still need to take necessary preventive measures just in case, and transfer the Second Legion to the Northern Protectorate!"
"Your Majesty, if a war breaks out, Zhang He seems to be insufficient to serve as the commander of one side, will he send a general to take charge?"
Chen Chu said decisively: "No need! Zhang He is rigorous in the military management, wise and brave, and is capable of taking on a great responsibility!"
Chen Chu glanced at the four people and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?" The four people exchanged glances, clasped their fists together and said, "No more!"
"How is the issuance of pensions?" Chen Chu asked.
"Most of it has been done!" Lu Su replied.
Chen Chu nodded and said seriously: "I don't want to hear a voice that shouldn't have in this matter!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry! The issuance of pensions is jointly implemented by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Justice, and Censorate. Each payment must be approved by the three parties before it can be issued!"
"Yeah, very good!"
After the discussion, Chen Chu returned to the harem accompanied by Cui Ying. When the two of them turned to a tree without anyone, Chen Chu suddenly stopped and turned around, and without saying a word, he hugged Cui Ying, who was following Chen Chu with his head hanging down and hugged her in his arms.
Cui Ying was startled, "Your Majesty, it's so embarrassing to let people see it!" Cui Ying had a pretty face red and looked nervous.
Chen Chu tightened his hands, and Cui Ying's delicate body pressed against Chen Chu more closely, a very ambiguous picture. Cui Ying looked at Chen Chu with watery eyes, happy, shy and scared.
Seeing Chen Chu's head hanging down, Cui Ying quickly closed her eyes and felt her smooth red lips sucked by a big mouth. She couldn't help but feel her heart rippling and her breathing became rapid.
After a moment, Cui Ying couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at the love man who was so close to her, with a soft and charming look.
After a while, Chen Chu let go of Cui Ying, who was almost dead, and hurriedly held Cui Ying who had fallen down, and laughed, "Yingying, this is the end of Dare to laugh at Brother! Will you still dare to do it in the future?"
Cui Ying gave Chen Chu a angrily look.
Chen Chu took Cui Ying's hand and said gentlely: "Yingying, it seems that my brother hasn't talked to you well for a long time!"
Cui Ying glanced at Chen Chu with resentment.
Chen Chu couldn't help feeling a little guilty and smiled, "Yingying, brother, I'll be with you today!"
Cui Ying's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
However, at this moment, an iron guard rushed over to report; "Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation in the south!"
Chen Chu couldn't help but look at Cui Ying apologetically. Cui Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'll accompany you!" Chen Chu nodded with a smile.
A moment later, Chen Chu returned to Linde Hall. At this time, a messenger was waiting in the hall.
"What's going on?" Chen Chu asked with a frown, with a faint premonition in his heart.
The messenger immediately submitted the letter.
Chen Chu opened the letter and looked at it for a few seconds before his expression changed.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Cui Ying asked anxiously.
Chen Chu frowned and said, "Zhu Rong was seriously injured in Jiaozhou! Damn! These bastards don't want to live anymore!" His tone was extremely cold. The few people present were shocked.
"Brother, Sister Zhurong will definitely be fine!" Cui Ying held Chen Chu's hand and comforted her.
Chen Chu nodded, calmed down, and ordered the messenger: "Go, call Kong Ming and Gongjin immediately!" "Yes!" The messenger Yingnuo withdrew from the hall with a shout.
A moment later, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu came to Linde Hall. Both of them guessed that something might have happened, otherwise Chen Chu would never have recalled them in less than two quarters of an hour.
As soon as the two entered the hall, they felt an angry atmosphere, "Your Majesty, what happened?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Chen Chu handed the letter in his hand to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang quickly read it, was shocked, and then handed the letter in his hand to Zhou Yu on the side. "Your Majesty, this fact is a bit strange!"
Chen Chu said angrily, "What's wrong with it? Isn't it just those tribes who want to take the Zhurong tribe and replace it?"
"Your Majesty calms down! What Kong Ming said is reasonable!" Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said.
Chen Chu calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."
Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang exchanged a look, and Zhuge Liang analyzed, "Your Majesty, according to common sense, it is a bit stupid to launch these tribes now, and their reaction afterwards seemed panicked and hasty, not as if they had planned it!~~~~"
Chen Chu's heart moved and nodded. Chen Chu was originally a wise man, but he was disturbed by Zhu Rong's injury just now, so he couldn't see it for a while.
Chen Chu frowned and said, "What does Kong Ming mean is someone to provoke?"
"It's not certain yet! Liang just inferred according to common sense!"
Chen Chu sat down at the head of the head, thought for a while, and ordered, "The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou! Zhurong's injury will probably cause a lot of trouble!" After a pause, he said decisively: "I must go there in person!"
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu was shocked, "Your Majesty, how can this work?"
"There's nothing wrong! I think it's good for me to go there in person to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou! Okay, I'm determined, you don't have to persuade me anymore!"
Seeing Chen Chu say this, the two of them understood that it would be useless if they said anything else. Although Chen Chu was willing to listen to different opinions and did not blame him for his words, once he decided on something, it would be difficult for others to turn back.
"Since that's the case, then please ask Your Majesty to lead enough troops to go! In addition, please follow Your Majesty!" Zhou Yu asked. Zhuge Liang also requested.
Chen Chu thought, "Kongming knew the southwest thoroughly and stayed for a while, Kong Ming followed me! Gongjin stayed in Luoyang! Ten thousand Iron Wall Guards were enough to accompany him. In addition, he ordered Yizhou and Jingzhou local garrison troops to enter Jiaozhou!" "Yes!"
Back in the harem, Chen Chu told his wife about Zhu Rong's assassination and his plans. Although the girls looked reluctant to leave, they did not stop Chen Chu.
