The red light outside the windows soared into the sky, dyeing the dark night sky with a fiery red halo, and the noise of cheering came from outside the tower from time to time.
Lu Duosun in front of the table picked up a sip of salty milk tea, then put down the ceramic cup. His calm and serious expression was completely inconsistent with the atmosphere outside. He said: After the Battle of Da (Ta) Ross, the Tang Dynasty was poisoned by the Anshi Rebellion and had no time to look west, and the power gradually withdrew from the Western Regions. Since then, many years of warlord separatism, the Central Plains fought in a melee after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and the "Chinese" forces never entered the Western Regions again.It has been more than two hundred years so far.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ye seemed even more excited. The officials worked hard to restore the temperament of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now tens of thousands of troops were displayed in Hexi. The time has come, and when will it be!
Lu Duosun paid attention to Yang Ye for a few glances, guessing in his heart that the reason for his excitement was the Duke of the Kingdom.
General Yang said very well.Lu Duosun said kindly, but things are not that easy.The Central Plains have been withdrawn from the Western Regions for more than 200 years, and now the geography, water sources, countries, and sects have been completely different. We currently know very little about the Western Regions and dare not act rashly to use the lives of soldiers and the military expenses of the national treasury.
Yang Ye frowned and pondered.
Lu Duoxun said calmly again: The lower official has a suggestion. Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was obsessed with the northwest. It is said that when he came to Feng'an, he saw the former site of the Han and Tang Dynasties, he cried in tears.Wei Renpu is one of the most trusted ministers around the official family, and he must ask about all military, national and national strategies.If General Yang can send reliable people and receive support from Wei Renpu in this matter, his chances will definitely increase greatly.
Yang Ye immediately clasped his fists and said: Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your reminder.
Lu Duoxun nodded: Xia Guan Fei insisted on pouring cold water on General Yang, and he would not be able to get along with you.But the soldiers belong to the court, and their expenses, military supplies and supplies must also be supported by the entire national strength. If they do not receive the support of the officials and the court, General Yang's wish to achieve great success may be just thinking about it.
These sincere and heart-warming remarks caused Yang Ye's attitude to change drastically. He asked in a humble manner: "Shilar Lu's intentions, report to the court first?"
Lu Duoxun shook his head and said in a deep voice: General Yang wants to do this, so he cannot throw everything to the court; the court has many civil and military strategies, and advocates all kinds of strange things. Deciding on major issues requires all parties to argue and compromise, which is very troublesome and slow.
Yang Ye said, "I would like to ask Mr. Lu for his advice."
Lu Duosun touched his short-skinned beard and pondered for a long time: Suzhou is still in the hands of the Uighurs; he has to discuss the management of melons and sand with the Guiyi army.These things are not difficult, but they are complicated and trivial, and they still take time.During this period, you can send a quick horse to report to General Yang of the court's strategy, wait for the court's approval, and ask the Privy Council to copy the geographical files of the Han and Tang dynasties and the Western Regions to be sent.The lower official happened to have some plans...
Yang Yedao: I would like to hear the details.
Lu Duosun talked happily: I have a strategy to fight for two and one to protect.
The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, Guanzhong Longyou declined, Hexi is newly acquired, and the supply and foundation are unstable; Da Xu wants to launch a large army to sweep the Western Regions by just relying on force, which is undoubtedly a dream.
At this time, inheriting the remaining power of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and regaining its prestige, the countries in the Western Regions cannot ignore the power of Daxun in the West. Only then can this be the best strategy.
This time, the various countries jointly attacked the Karakhanate, and they promised to strive to preside over the face of the alliance. The strength of the fighter jets and light cavalry raided the Karakhanate was proved, rather than verbal words. At the same time, they must preserve the Khotan Kingdom, restore the military towns in the Western Regions, build fortresses and strongholds to station elite troops, and win over the alliance with the Khotan Kingdom. They can not only gain a foothold in the Western Regions, but also deepen their power into the Western Regions and gradually understand the astronomy and geographical situation of the Western Regions.
The Li family (Yuchi) of the Khotan Kingdom had always had a good relationship with the Central Plains. They were once enthroned by the Jin Dynasty and married and formed an alliance with the Guiyi Army.If you want to enter the Western Regions, you will be kind to Yutian.
When Yang Ye heard the young man speak with a sincere look on his face, he bowed his hands: Mr. Lu is so young that he is highly dependent on the official family, and he is really a talented person in charge.
Yang Ye praised Lu Duosun's plan very much, and immediately prepared a memorial and sent a quick horse back to Beijing.
At this time, the troops set out from the Hexi Army camp stationed in Ganzhou, and exited the Hexi Corridor through Liangzhou (who has surrendered and stationed in Xujun); when walking in Lingzhou, although the road is far away, there are Xujun fortress strongholds and post stations along the way, which is more secure; then go south from Lingzhou to Guanzhong and enter Daxu hinterland.
The road from Hexi Corridor to Daxu Capital has been completely opened.
……
In the study of Jinxiang Hall in Tokyo, suddenly there was a clang, and Guo Shao did not throw the cup, but just put the cup heavily on the table.
The three ministers and one eunuch in front of him immediately bent down.Since Guo Shao is known as a benevolent king, he rarely gets angry in public, and this behavior is already very serious.
Zan Jurun said: Feng Jiye has a bad reputation. Cao Gong knew that he strongly recommended him and was bold in employing people. He actually let Feng Jiye be the leading commander of the striker. He really let His Majesty trust him...
Zan Jurun's voice echoed in the silent house, making it particularly clear.
Guo Shao was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said: I was wrong, and I agreed to use Feng Jiye after all.It is a mistake to let this person go to Jiaozhou.
How could the emperor be wrong?
Zuo You said first: Cao Bin was on the northern road of Shu Kingdom and in the Southern Han Kingdom. He had many fierce generals under his command, and he could also restrain his soldiers without any offense.Since this is the case, Feng Jiye should be restrained.Your Majesty just trusted Cao Bin easily, not to mention that even if Cao Bin uses Feng Jiye, he should not put him in the position of the chief general...
Forget it, let’s not mention the merits and demerits for the time being. How to modify the Jiaozhou strategy now?Guo Shao said, if we discuss politics tomorrow morning, we will first ask the ministers.After saying that, he waved his hand a little unhappy.
A few people stopped talking and left for a week.
This matter has been argued a lot in the court.
Some advocated increasing troops to Jiaozhou, using important towns as a base, building post roads and post stations along the main waterways, forming a three-level network ruling order along the post roads, occupying Jiaozhou in an all-round way, and implementing military rule.
Attacking the territory of Ding's troops, searching for important criminals, winning over and exiling local tyrants, exiling criminals and relocating households in the Central Plains, sending seeds and plowing oxen to reduce taxes, building academic centers, turning the king into the people, promulgating laws... The cost is unknown, and I don't know when it will take effect, and the expenses are a bottomless pit.
Some advocate giving up Jiaozhou, occupying coastal strongholds, and slowly attracting new Jiaozhou forces.With the way Xu Jun can firmly defend a Liuhua Fort with hundreds of men, this proposition is very cost-effective.
Guo Shao did not express his opinion, but sighed again: People cannot be satisfied, and it is difficult to find recognition.
Soon, the Northwest Yang Ye's memorial arrived in Tokyo.
Guo Shao felt a little relieved when he learned that Yang Ye had pacified Longyou and Hexi at a small price and made the tribes surrender.
He also looked at the strategy proposed by Yang Ye and Lu Duosun and praised: The idea is long-term and pragmatic.
However, Guo Shao understood that the situation in the Western Regions was more complicated than the mixed situation of the various ethnic groups in Longyou, Hexi, and there were also sect problems.
The Western Regions are too far and too complex, and expanding influence and power westward is a long-term process and cannot be achieved overnight, and there is no shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain.
While discussing with the minister, he approved Yang Ye's memorial, and at the same time he wanted to remind Yang Ye not to be reckless.
The eunuch Yang Shiliang reported secretly that the horse team who came back from the northwest had literati staff lobbying the Privy Council.Guo Shao asked Yang Shiliang to send someone to summon his staff to meet him.
Guo Shao's words did not fall on the paper, and he stepped back and said something to Yang Ye's aide: After you go to Tokyo, you will give Yang Ye a sentence: At this time, it is not the best way to make a rash move. Only by being safe will you be wise.
There is nothing else to say, but Guo Shao knew that Yang Ye would definitely understand.
Since Yang Ye’s aide came to Tokyo, what happened in Jiaozhou? How can the news not be brought back to the northwest?
Cao Bin has already disappointed the emperor, and Yang Ye has already held the prestige and achievements of pacifying Longyou Hexi. Whether you lose or win, you will win. Risk behavior is only suitable for those who are inferior to hope for the Jedi counterattack. This is the meaning of being safe and wise.
A month later, Cao Bin's memorial arrived in Tokyo.He submitted a memorial again, asking for an order to increase military expenditure and proposed a new strategy.
Cao Bin asked to set up a Jiaozhi Province, and wanted to establish a harbor and fortress along the east coast of Jiaozhou, and then build a stronghold and post road along the Taiping River to Luocheng.
Luocheng was used as the Dadu Prefecture of Jiaozhi Province, and occupied the Dadu Prefecture and the important areas leading to the East China Sea. Then, gradually attracted the people of Jiaozhou to serve in Dadu Prefecture and local areas, and suppressed and governed Jiaozhou.
Guo Shao asked the Central Minister for his advice in the meeting hall, thinking that this was a more moderate way to make up for it, so he adopted Cao Bin's advice, who knew the situation on the ground better.
At the same time, the order was issued to recall Feng Jiye and let Cao Bin reappoint the general.
The strategy of striving for Jiaozhou was decided by Guo Shao after a lot of efforts in the court.He thought this matter was of great significance, so no matter what, he was unwilling to give up and had to go on!
At this time, the Western Regions and Jiaozhou became protracted persistence at the same time.
Guo Shao stood on the high platform of Jinxiang Hall, looking at the changing white clouds in the air, thinking about Cao Bin and Yang Ye. In a faint sense, he felt as if he was communicating with God... A sense of fate surged in his heart.
Yang Ye, a person who had originally left a great reputation in history, may still stand out here.After many twists, fate seems to be unrecognizable and seems to be very mysterious and similar.
So, what is the fate of the Daxu Dynasty? A thousand years later, perhaps it was known as the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties...
Lu Duosun in front of the table picked up a sip of salty milk tea, then put down the ceramic cup. His calm and serious expression was completely inconsistent with the atmosphere outside. He said: After the Battle of Da (Ta) Ross, the Tang Dynasty was poisoned by the Anshi Rebellion and had no time to look west, and the power gradually withdrew from the Western Regions.
