Memorial from the grassland and desert arrived at the Tokyo Palace with colorful fallen flowers and green willows on pavilions.
In addition to a few cabinets, the people standing next to the imperial case also had the second envoy of the Privy Council.Everyone has read the memorial and is waiting for Guo Shao to look at it carefully.
He raised his head and said: We have walked the Silk Road to the west for thousands of years; and we knew almost nothing about the vast sea surface of the East China Sea and the South China Sea a few years ago.But I think the trade road in the west is more difficult to walk than the vast ocean.
The Privy Councilor Wang Pu echoed: People are more dangerous than all the wild thorns.
After hearing this, Guo Shao looked at Wang Pu with interest: What the King Envoy said was very true, but there are not many pirates on the sea today, but Hexi is full of thieves ready to move.
The king and his minister spoke about the business path, but everyone present understood that the reason they paid so much attention to this memorial was because of Li Yiyin's news.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said to Wang Pu: Arrange the staff of the Military and Cao Si to find out the news that Zhe Deji had said.
Wang Pu bowed and said: The old minister follows the order.
Guo Shao stood up and stood in front of the map on the wall, with his back to the ministers, and was silent for a long time.
At this moment, Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, said in his voice: Yesterday, a silver cart passed through Xuande Gate. I opened the box and looked at it, boxes of shining silver coins.Now the inner treasury is not short of cash. I think only by sending troops to attack can the problem in the northwest be truly solved.
The civil servants followed suit.
Guo Shao said nothing, because the northwest tribes seemed to be uniting together to try to fight against the Daxu court... This is something that neither the monarch nor the ministers of Tokyo could accept. The court conquered Xiazhou and worked hard to manage the western border. It must not be wasted all previous efforts at this time!
Guo Shao couldn't find a reason to give up, he is rich and soldiers now.
Deputy Envoy Wei advocated sending troops, what strategy is there?Guo Shao said.
Wei Renpu turned his head and looked at Wang Pu, clasped his fists to the superiors and said: I will discuss and conquer the northwest first. The goal is to recover Ganzhou, Liangzhou and other places, open up the road to the Western Regions, and make the tribes completely give up the idea of being enemies with the Daxu court.
At the same time, during the war in the west, fortresses were built on the western Liaoxi Corridor in the east, preparing to recover the road strongholds in Yingzhou... A large number of war horses and cavalry were required to go to war with the Liao army. If there is a fortress, some cavalry shortcomings could be made up.
After hearing this, Guo Shao turned around and praised: This is a little good.Building a fort in western Liaoning can also attract the attention of the Liao Kingdom and reduce the pressure on the northwest battlefield... Everyone knows that as long as we use our troops, there will always be Khitans and muds.
After hearing this, everyone laughed out loud.
Wang Pu said: Your Majesty has a clear understanding, and the Military and Cao Command reported that the Liao Kingdom has begun to increase its troops in the Northeast.
Guo Shao stood up straight and looked back. His heart was filled with fighting spirit again, and everything returned to his best state.
The dynasty he established had no Yàn Mountain Defense Line at the beginning, and the enemy threatened Hebei at any time from Youzhou and a flat river. After several wars, the security of the north was guaranteed. After this war, he believed that the situation would improve and his country would be more stable.
Who is the main general in the Western Expedition?Guo Shao asked.
No one immediately recommended it, but when people heard this sentence, they understood the emperor's attitude of deciding to fight the West.
……
In the early morning in Tokyo, it was just dawn, and white mist was shrouded in the streets and alleys. Some shops were already open, and merchants were taking off the wooden boards that were inserted into the doors.
At this time, a young scholar was thrown straight into the street from the back door, causing him to moan.A strong man spitted at the person lying on the ground.
A old man Qinghuang with most of his beards walked down the carriage. The old man put a handful of money in the hands of a strong man.
The fierce man picked up a white round coin inside strangely, looked closer, and praised: The words cast are very clear.
Silver.One yuan is worth 200 people, and it is recognized by all large money houses and imperial governments.The old man said lightly, can I take him away?
The fierce man counted it and nodded.
The old man stepped forward and helped the young scholar with a pale face and messy hair lying on the ground with his own hands, and got on the carriage.After a moment the carriage left the alley.
The old man looked at the depressed young scholar: Mr. Li, did you not bring out the name of Mr. Li in the brothel to scare them?
The young scholar was Li Liangshi, the clan’s brother of the founding Duke Li Chuyun. He glared and said: I am not that stupid yet!Even if it is said, Mr. Zhong thinks those people who are full of money will believe it?
The old man Zhongli nodded and said: If you ruin the reputation of the Duke, you may not be that light.
Li Liangshi immediately bowed with fists and said: Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for helping you again.
Zhongli said lightly: No thanks, you have to pay back the money.
Li Liangshi frowned and said: I just wanted to win back Mr. Huan Zhong, but unexpectedly...
Zhongli said: No need to worry, I don’t need money for the time being.
After hearing this, Li Liangshi muttered: Mr. Zhong is so old and has no children, why are he using so much money? Since you have money, why bother to come out and run? I am like Mr. Zhong, who lives in brothels every day, hehe.
Zhongli smiled and said: If Brother Li was at my age, he would probably have no interest in brothel Xiaoyao.
It's really boring.Li Liangshi sighed, and he said with great interest. Last time, I finally recommended Mr. Zhong, which was something that Mr. Zhong took the initiative to let him do. Unexpectedly, you rejected Mr. Li's invitation and were really calm.
Zhongli smiled and said: Those who are scholars must always have some birth character, and Mr. Li is also happy to have the etiquette of polite and inferior people.
Zhongli sent Li Liangshi home and went straight to the founding Duke's mansion. He was originally a disciple and lived in the mansion.
In the afternoon, Li Chuyun's ceremonial guard came back from the gate, and Zhongli immediately went to the study to pay homage.
Li Chuyun placed his sword and helmet on the table, wearing martial arts uniform and armor, and was sitting at the table drinking tea. Seeing Zhongli at the door, he called him in and served another cup of tea.
Li Chuyun glanced at Zhongli and said, "The official said before, war is the shortcut to solving everything, and it's true."
Zhongli bowed and listened.
Li Chuyun stroked his beard, and there were all kinds of people in the northwest, which was simply a mess.However, as long as a force swept through, all the messy forces will be cleansed!
Zhongli clasped his fists and said: Congratulations to Mr. Li, if he made meritorious service for the emperor this time, Han glared at him and said in front of Mr. Li, but he would not dare to say such a big sentence.
Li Chuyun said calmly: The official has not decided who to use as the head coach.
Zhongli said calmly: If the official family does not personally fight, using Mr. Li is the best choice... Among the generals, only your identity can convince Shi Yanchao; and with Shi Yanchao in the battle formation, everything will be much simpler.
After hearing this, Li Chuyun looked at Zhongli with appreciation: Mr. Zhong is a rare talent. Li Yun had Mr. Zhong back then, but he did such a bad job, which was really not easy.
Zhongli bowed and said: In the next literati, the old man is powerless. Even if he has plans, those who are superior must be willing to listen.
Yes, the power of decision-making lies in the master.Li Chuyun said calmly.
His face was full of beard, and his eyes were particularly bright on his blushing face: Mr. Zhong has a lot of knowledge, and as expected, as soon as the war begins, there are even many civil servants who preside over the host.
Zhongli smiled and said: Force brings great benefits. In just one year, the silver brought from Dongdao has solved many headaches for the ministers of the dynasty, and everyone has also gained their own benefits from it.
As soon as guns and cannons fired, silver and wealth came in one after another, and the countries were shocked. The court was very respectful and could easily make all directions submit... Not only soldiers, but civil servants would also be fascinated by such easy-to-get benefits. Why did the dukes refuse?
Li Chuyun said seriously: There is also the dynasty’s country that is stable!
The northwest tribes are ready to move. The court will never allow the border to re-form an uncontrollable force, otherwise they will be a hidden danger, and at least it will force our dynasty to increase its troops in the west and increase military expenditure.
So the best way is to break them apart!And they can open up trade routes, get more war horses, and prepare for a battle against the Liao Kingdom.
Zhongli pondered: Is it necessary for the government to start war against the Liao Kingdom again?
Li Chuyun glanced at Zhongli. Mr. Zhong was good at strategy, but he seemed not good at strategy.Our dynasty defeated the Liao army in Youzhou and recovered the Youyun states, but never took the initiative to attack the Liao Kingdom...
Zhongli nodded and said: I understand.This is why the Liao Kingdom unscrupulously helped Daxu's enemies.
Li Chuyun walked a few steps in the study with his hands behind his back and said: You are right.The Liao Kingdom's national power has been suppressed by our dynasty, but the offensive and defensive momentum is still the same.We are still in a defensive situation. The difference is that with the Yàn Mountains and the Great Wall, it is easier to defend; it is more difficult for Liao Kingdom to move south.
But diplomatic relations are like battle formations, and only defense cannot be done.My husband's claim in the court was to deploy Daxun outside the Great Wall with the ability to actively punish the Liao Kingdom.In this way, the Liao people had to think twice before doing anything; everything could be discussed, and real peace could come.
Zhongli said: Only by punishing the Liao people from time to time can Li Gong and others have great use.
Li Chuyun remained silent, but did not refute.Although he was removed from military power and enjoyed wealth and glory, he did not want to be released from his army at all. He was willing to come in handy from time to time.
He touched his beard and looked at it left: Yingzhou is the first step to reverse the situation in Liao!However, attacking Yingzhou is not a siege, mainly to reinforcements, and the strength of the cavalry is very important; therefore, we must open up the commercial routes of Hexi and Western Regions to ensure the fastest source of war horses.
After hearing this, Zhongli praised him and said: Li Gongzhen is a pillar of the court!
Li Chuyun said in a deep voice: We all have benefits to plan for the country.
He looked at the wealthy courtyard outside the window comfortably and was in a good mood.
A powerful and prosperous dynasty and a solid country, as a relative of the Duke and Emperor, not only allowed the Li family to flourish and enjoy wealth, but also left their reputation in history and be remembered forever.
If you are like this in your lifetime, what else can you ask for?
In addition to a few cabinets, the people standing next to the imperial case also had the second envoy of the Privy Council.Everyone has read the memorial and is waiting for Guo Shao to look at it carefully.
