77 Chapter 77 Military Expansion Order_1

Upon hearing the words of Right Minister Zhao Wenhan, Left Minister Lin Gaoyuan chuckled and said, "Indeed, the Seignior of the border provinces has the duty to ward off foreign enemies' invasions, but North City has only thirty thousand troops. Does Prime Minister Zhao truly believe that the North Prince can repel the Barbarian Tribe's invasion with these thirty thousand men?"

Zhao Wenhan immediately replied, "I never said that."

At this point, Zhao Wenhan looked towards the Sum Emperor on the Dragon Throne, then continued, "Your Majesty, North City has always been the first line of defense against the barbarian invasions. The customary thirty thousand troops are no longer sufficient to defend against the barbarian incursions, therefore, in my opinion, now is the time to issue a Military Expansion Order for North City."

As soon as Zhao Wenhan finished speaking, the court instantly became abuzz with discussions.
