Chapter 610             

The military generals in the court were silent, and no one volunteered to fight.

Not only Wei Ying was dissatisfied with Li Guan's rush to kill Li Yu, but many founding heroes were full of complaints and resentment.

After all, Li Yu is the prince or your Li Guan’s uncle. You can kill him if you say he wants to kill him?

The key is that you can't provide conclusive evidence that Li Yu poisoned the previous emperor.

It is too much of a joke to kill the prince in such a hasty way of killing him.

Your move to be more obvious is too obvious.

Out of this mentality, although there are many famous generals in the court, no one is willing to work hard for Li Guan.

Li Guan asked several times, but no one volunteered. The silence in the hall was as dead as death, which made Li Guan slump on the dragon throne powerlessly and unable to come back for a long time.

In the critical moment, no one could be reliable and no one could help me solve my problems?

Li Guan couldn't help but sighed to the sky.

I don’t know how long it took, but a man suddenly stepped out and said, “Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops to Shanyang City to save Duke Ding from the trap!”

Li Guan was shocked and immediately looked at the sound.

The one who stood up below was Song Bai, the Minister of Rites.

Seeing that it was Song Bai who volunteered, Li Guan's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Duke Song Lu of Dingguo is Song Bai's biological father. Li Guan can fully understand the mood of Song Bai in a hurry to save his father from the trouble.

But the problem is that Song Bai is just a civil servant, not a military general. If he leads his troops to Shanyang City, wouldn’t he beating a dog with meat buns and go without returning?

"this……"

Seeing Li Guan's face showing a difficult look, Song Bai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have been well-educated by my father since I was young, and I have been familiar with military books and war strategies. I am confident that as long as your Majesty gives me 50,000 troops, I will definitely be able to save the Duke from the predicament!"

Li Guan is in a dilemma.

There were so many founding heroes and famous generals in the court, but he wanted to use Song Bai, a man who had never fought a war?

But the problem is that although there are many famous officials and generals, none of them volunteered to fight. Only Song Bai volunteered to Ying.

Just when Li Guan felt embarrassed, the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhou Neng took the list and said, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the tiger father has no dog son! The Minister of Song is the legitimate son of the Duke of Ding. I think he has received many true teachings from the Duke of Ding. Moreover, the Minister of Song is a sorcerer and has superb magic. I think it is best to let the Minister of Song lead his troops to fight in this battle!"

Li Guan has long regarded Zhou Neng as his confidant minister.

Now that I heard that Zhou Neng said that Song Bai was the right candidate, he made up his mind, nodded heavily, and said to Song Bai: "Sen Minister Song, since Duke Xuan also recommended you, I will give you 50,000 troops, and you will be the commander of the reinforcements. I will set off immediately and go to Shanyang City!"

When people heard that Li Guan actually asked Song Bai to lead his army to Shanyang City to rescue Song Lu, people's faces showed disbelief.

Is Li Guan crazy?

Duke Xu Kang of Yongguo could no longer help, stepped out of the line, intervened and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is very inappropriate to let Mr. Song lead his troops to the expedition!"

Before Li Guan could speak, Zhou Neng sneered and asked back: "Duke Yongguo thinks, what's wrong?"

Xu Kang said seriously: "Did Mr. Song stay in the military camp for a day?

Have you fought on the battlefield for a day?"

How could a man who has never served in a military camp and has never been on the battlefield have the ability to lead an army of 50,000?

Li Guan nodded secretly, thinking that what Xu Kang said was not unreasonable. Is it too hasty to send Song Bai to the battle?

It seemed that he had expected someone to use this to attack Song Bai. Zhou Neng shook his head and asked, "Duke Yongguo knows Sun Wu?"

nonsense!

Xu Kang was too lazy to answer such a stupid question.

Zhou Neng didn't need his answer and continued, "So, Duke Yongguo, did Sun Wu stay in the military camp for a day before writing "The Art of War"?

Can you go to the battlefield for a day?"

His words really made Xu Kang speechless.

Before writing "The Art of War", Sun Wu had never participated in the army or fought a war.

Actually, this is really weird.

The Art of War, which has influenced later generations for more than 2,000 years, was written by such a person who has never been a soldier or fought a war.

(Sun Tzu was only activated after writing "The Art of War".

)

It is precisely because China has only one grandson. For more than two thousand years, only such a genius has appeared!

Zhou Neng now brought out his grandson to refute Xu Kang, which really made Xu Kang not know how to refute.

Seeing that Xu Kang was speechless by Zhou Neng, Li Guan smiled with his hands on his back and said, "Shilarious Minister Song, have you heard that Duke Xuan has high hopes for you! Don't want me and Duke Xuan to be disappointed in you!"

Song Bai immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Li Guan nodded with relief.

The matter was decided so. Li Guan ordered Song Bai to take charge and go to Shanyang City to rescue the trapped Song Lu.

Brothers in war, father and son soldiers in battle.

Li Guan felt that Song Bai was Song Lu's legitimate son after all, and he would have to do his best to save his father in danger. If he was not sure, he would not volunteer.

What Li Guan never expected was that Song Bai's rescue of Song Lu was surprisingly smooth.

After Song Bai led his army to Shanyang City, the six kings who had originally besieged the city immediately retreated twenty miles.

The Six Kings Alliance seemed to know that it was defeated and was unwilling to have a head-on confrontation with the Song Bai army.

It can be said that Song Bai led his troops to approach Shanyang City, and he was completely free from bloodshed. He did not use a single sword or a single gun or a single soldier.

After seeing the war report sent back to Shanyang City, Li Guan was overjoyed, and the ministers in the court couldn't believe it.

They knew very well what Li Lie was, but it was incredible that Li Lie could escape without a fight against Song Bai.

But soon, the shocking changes brought back by Shanyang City explained everything.

Just two days later, nearly 200,000 capital troops, led by Song Lu and Song Bai, suddenly opened the city gate and surrendered to the six kings including Yan King Li Lie, Qi King Li Hao.

It was not until the ministers in the court heard this news that they finally realized it.

Song Bai did not go to rescue Song Lu? This kid went to Shanyang City to persuade Song Lu to surrender to the Six Kings!

After hearing the news, Li Guan was almost so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

He trembled all over, his hands trembled as he stretched out, and he said intermittently: "Issue an order, issue an order immediately! Surround me with the Duke Ding Mansion and kill them all! Kill all the people in the mansion! No one left!"

However, when the imperial guards came to the Duke of Ding, they suddenly discovered that Song Lu's family had already taken advantage of the opportunity of Song Bai leading his army to fight, quietly mingled among the troops and went to Shanyang City with the army.

Now only some concubines, maids, servants, guards, etc. remain in the Duke Ding Mansion.

When Li Guan learned about this, he was so angry that he cursed: "Song Lu, you old man! I am incompatible with you! Song Bai, if I capture you, I will tear you into pieces!"

No matter how angry Li Guan is or how cruel he is, the balance of victory has begun to be greatly tilted towards the Eight Kings.

The turnaround of the 200,000 army was definitely a heavy blow to the court, which was in a turmoil.
