1363 went to war, and if you don't fight, you have to fight

Didn't give Qin Xiaoyan too much time to grieve, less than half a month after returning to Beijing, there was a war report from the border that Jingyan was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were all burned to death in the city.

"Jing Yan's soldiers and horses, all dead?" When the news came back to the capital, not only the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but also Qin Xiaoyan was also surprised.

Jing Yan had 150,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and so many people could not be burned to death.

Moreover, Jing Yan's soldiers and horses are not a wreck, and there are more soldiers and horses in Northern Qi than them, and they still haven't been pleased. How could it be that all of a sudden, all the soldiers and horses under Jing Yan were wiped out.

"Yes. The city of Huxia in Northern Qi has become a dead city, and all 150,000 troops died in it. The messenger said through gritted teeth.

Although Jing Yan is a chaotic minister and thief, the soldiers and horses in his hands are from Daqin. They are traitors to Great Qin, how they deal with them themselves is their business, and Northern Qi's move is too much!

After confirming that the news was true, the ministers gasped, their faces were angry and angry, and Qin Shiyan was the calmest one in the audience, "What's going on?" He didn't believe that if nothing happened, the soldiers under Jing Yan's command would have been defeated so completely.

"According to investigation, it was Jing Yan's sister who colluded with the Northern Qi to control the army with secret medicine, and helped the Northern Qi set fire to the city." To put it simply, Jing Yan was sold by himself.

"Ni Yue!" Hearing that Ni Yue had betrayed Jing Yan, Qin Xiaoyan was not surprised at all. In his opinion, it was sooner or later. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Ni Yue was so ruthless, killing 150,000 troops in one fell swoop.

Such a woman can't stay!

"If you return to the Holy Heavens, this is this woman." The 150,000 army was destroyed in the hands of a woman, which shows how vicious that woman is.

"What a Ni Yue, what an immortal door." You don't have to think about it, this matter must be the handiwork of Changshengmen.

Qin Shanyan closed his eyes and said coldly: "Pass on my order, let Northern Qi hand over Ni Yue in half a month, otherwise my Great Qin's soldiers and horses will conquer the Northern Qi Imperial Court." ”

In the past, he didn't have the best to rule the world, all he wanted was to build a strong and prosperous Great Qin, and then teach their children with Qiancheng, and the family lived a happy life.

Right now?

Since there is no hope in life, let's destroy Xihu and Northern Qi!

"Holy Lord, don't ......" As soon as the emperor's words fell, a military general stood up, "Holy Lord, the Northern Qi soldiers are strong and strong, although I have a lot of soldiers and horses in Daqin, but most of the troops are in Xihu, and it is not good for us to start a war with the Northern Qi at this time." ”

"The First Battle of Xihu will end soon, and in a month, Yan Tan will be able to bring back his troops." Regarding political affairs, Qin Xiaoyan still has full power in his hands.

This country is to be handed over to his son, and he will not destroy anything he says.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been tired all the way, and I am afraid that they will be tired from continuous battles, and it is really not a good time for us to start a war with Northern Qi at this time." The military general was very afraid of Qin Shiyan's coercion, but he still spoke hard.

The battlefield is the Shura field, and one second is born and the next second may be a dead body. Everyone who stands on the battlefield is under tremendous psychological pressure, worried that he will die in the next second, and that he will die in the next battle.

Everyone who survived the battlefield was severely tested physically and mentally. After the end of a big war, the soldiers should be given at least three months to half a year to recuperate, otherwise they will go crazy if they keep their feelings tight.

Qin Shiyan looked at his opponent coldly, "According to what you mean, we want to sue for peace with Northern Qi?" ”

"Holy Lord, it is in our best interest to seek peace in this life." The military general knelt down with a thud, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at the holy face.

Qin Shiyan sneered, put his hands on the armrests, stroked the armrests with his thumbs, looked at the military general who entered the Yan condescendingly, and said after a while: "Jiao Aiqing, do you think so too?" ”

Lord Jiao, who was named, stood up resignedly, "Holy Lord, the ambition of the wolf son of Northern Qi, I'm afraid that we will have to fight if we want to." ”

Alas, there was a head assistant in front of him before, and he didn't think there was anything, and when he became the first assistant, Lord Jiao knew that the first assistant was not good, no matter what happened, the emperor had to shout "Jiao Aiqing" and let him have an idea.

This idea is easy to take, but it is really not difficult to take an idea that is both in line with the emperor's heart and the courtier's wishes.

"So, does Jiao Aiqing think it's time for us to fight?" As an emperor who "won the hearts of the people", he has always been "open-minded", allowing courtiers to express their opinions on political affairs and allowing different voices to appear.

"We have to fight even if we don't fight, and Northern Qi will not let go of this opportunity. Before, Jing Yan's soldiers and horses were in the way, and Northern Qi did not dare to move, but now that Jing Yan's soldiers and horses were all wiped out, Northern Qi would never let go of this opportunity. Master Jiao lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qin Shiyan.

Qin Shiyan nodded slightly, and his gaze fell on the military general who had raised objections before, "General Li, what do you think?" ”

"Holy Lord, our food, grass, soldiers and horses are not enough to support our war against Northern Qi." General Li looked sad and had tears in his eyes.

As a military general, saying such a thing as asking for peace is a very slap in the face, if there is really no way, he will not say no war.

"Daqin flooded a south of the Yangtze River, and there will be a shortage of food in two or three years. You know about this matter, do you think Northern Qi will not know? Since Northern Qi knows, do you think Northern Qi will let go of this opportunity?" Qin Shiyan snorted coldly, "General Li, did you hear Jiao Shoufu's words?" The ambition of the wolf son of Northern Qi is that our Great Qin wants to ask for peace, and they Northern Qi will not agree. ”

"And you don't know how to ask for peace, do you? cede the city, and offer a large amount of grain, grass, gold, silver, and women. Do you think our Great Qin can get grain and grass? Are you willing to sacrifice your wife and daughter? ”

"General Li, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, in the past, Great Qin begged for peace with Northern Qi, but it was defeated, and there was no way to be beaten. Now that we haven't started to fight you, you are asking for peace, you are raising the prestige of others to destroy your own ambition, and you are also using the flesh and blood of the people of Great Qin to feed the enemies of Great Qin, fatten and strengthen them, so that they can turn back and slaughter the people of our Great Qin and plunder the wealth of our people of Great Qin. ”

It was rare for Qin Xiaoyan to say so many words in the court, and when he said this, the people in the whole hall were silent, hanging their heads one by one, staring at the tips of their shoes.

At least ninety percent of the officials present at the scene did not practice martial arts, and at least ninety percent of them hoped not to fight.

It's not that they're afraid, but the current situation of Great Qin can't allow them to start a war against Northern Qi and Xihu at the same time. Their military and financial resources were not enough to support them to wage war against the two countries at the same time, but ......

The emperor is reasonable, if they sue for peace with Northern Qi this time and offer a large amount of grain, grass, gold and silver to Northern Qi, it will be equivalent to giving Northern Qi a chance to grow, and at the same time reducing their own strength.

After a few years, Great Qin regained its vitality, and Northern Qi could also grow into Great Qin's fierce rival with the grain, grass, gold and silver offered by Great Qin.

Instead of raising a fierce enemy, it is better to fight to the death now. Even if it can't win, it will cost the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so that the Northern Qi will not be able to recover its vitality in a short period of time!
