Zhao Junyao pondered repeatedly, unsure of what to do.
Yang He continued his staunch remonstration.
"Emperor, I am willing to lead by example and be at the forefront. Please permit me to lead the troops to battle!"
He truly wanted to go.
He had served as the Minister of War for most of his life.
Aside from following the Late Emperor in repelling barbarian forces a few times years ago, he hadn't been involved in many military campaigns.
In recent years, he hadn't participated in the skirmishes in the Northwest among the small tribes or the battle in Guangnan of past years, as these were fought by the local Commander and Defender.
Stationed in the Capital himself, he had no battles to fight.
This time, there was no Commander in the Northwest, and the Ministry of War had directly overseen matters for many years.
It ought to be his turn by now!
Before retiring, he was determined to fight one more glorious battle!
Yang Chenyi said 'worriedly'.
