Chapter 500: The Imperial Study Discusses Politics
The change of the Wu Dynasty became extremely sudden.
Because Empress Dowager Xi imprisoned all the officials in the palace, the spies of the Yu Dynasty in Guanyun City did not notice this shocking news at the first time, and naturally did not send this information to Shangjing at the first time.
Just when Empress Dowager Xi successfully grasped the authority of the Wu Dynasty, in the imperial study of the Imperial City of Shangjing, Emperor Xuan and Fu Xiaoguan were discussing the conquest of Xirong.
"It's still a little urgent." Yan Shidao thought for a while, and said: "Now that the snow is closing the mountain, I am afraid that the Minshan plank road is even more difficult, and it is really not easy for this large army to enter the realm of the Western Wilderness." ”
Emperor Xuan looked at Yan Shidao and laughed, but turned his head to Yan Beixi and asked, "You didn't tell him about this policy?" ”
Yan Beixi bowed: "This policy is very important, and no one has ever talked about it." ”
When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, he immediately understood a little.
A few days ago, Gonggong Jia sent information that confirmed that the four princes of the Yu Dynasty had made contact with Xue Dingshan, the general of the Western Frontier Army, and that Xue Dingshan's headquarters left a team of 1,000 people on the night of 15 November and went to Xirong Mansion, the purpose of which is unknown and needs to be investigated.
In this way, His Majesty may also know the news.
At today's court meeting, His Majesty ordered the western border army to go to Xirong to suppress bandits, and also took Huo Donglin, the king of Zhenxi, as the military supervisor, and asked Prince Yu to ask for a book to raise the required food and salary on the spot, which was done on purpose!
Sure enough, Emperor Xuan told the origin of this policy, and especially mentioned that Xue Dingshan may have a backlash.
"I thought about it for a long time, and I made this decision with Yan Xiang. First, I came to see if Xue Dingshan had colluded with Yu Wenshu, and secondly, to stuff the western border army into the Western Wilderness, and 300,000 soldiers and horses ate horses, I wanted to see how Yu Wenshu arranged this logistical matter. ”
This is indeed a good strategy, Fu Xiaoguan carefully analyzed, it is not easy to enter the Western Wilderness, and it is not easy to get out of the Western Wilderness. If the 300,000 border troops are put into the Western Wilderness, even if they want to rebel, it will be much more difficult to fight all the way to Jinling than to come directly from the west.
This is also a helpless move, and now the national strength of the Yu Dynasty can no longer support such a war, and the transfer of the western border army far away can be regarded as exchanging strategic depth for time.
When Yan Shidao heard this, he was surprised for a moment, and seemed to have figured out the truth, so he didn't ask again.
And Emperor Xuan also looked at Fu Xiaoguan at this moment, "It was inconvenient to talk about it in the court just now, but now you listen carefully to me!" ”
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked, what else is wrong with me?
"I will allow you to expand the Excalibur Special Force to 30,000!"
Fu Xiaoguan is overjoyed, and there are such good things?
He hurriedly saluted, "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "You don't have to be busy thanking me, I still have something to say to you." ”
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned again, you are a little more refreshing.
"I want you to transfer the four thousand divine sword troops of Pingling to the border city!"
Fu Xiaoguan frowned and was transferred to the border city? Not to mention the long distance, what's wrong with the border city?
Today, only more than 50,000 men have been left in the southern border army. The battle losses of the northern border army could not be made up for a while, and Yu Chunqiu's team had to stay in the northern border army for the time being. After the peace is discussed, Yu Wentian's department will be stationed in the north, and Yu Chunqiu's department will be bound for Shuzhou in Jiannan's west road. ”
"I have to defend, as long as Shuzhou is defended, there is no possibility for the western border army to advance eastward. But in this way, the combat strength of the southern border army has been sharply reduced, and if something goes wrong in the south...... That's a big problem. ”
To the south, it is naturally the Wu Dynasty.
The Wu Dynasty is actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xi, if this old witch completely controls the government, if she is really a person from the Lunatic Sect, Emperor Xuan's worries are very reasonable.
Now that Fu Daguan has gone to the Wu Dynasty, he is the elder brother of Emperor Wen, the orthodox royal bloodline, he ...... Can the Wu Dynasty be put in order?
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a few breaths and nodded.
It's always right to take precautions, in case this fat dad hadn't messed with the old witch, with the four thousand divine sword special forces, sniping the enemy on the front line of the Qishan corridor, it would be able to cause great trouble to the attacking enemy.
"Teacher, ......"
"The minister is here."
"At the beginning of the year, this conscription needs to be done as soon as possible, and now the northern border army and the eastern border army have a total difference of nearly 300,000 troops, which is equivalent to one less of the four border armies of the Yu Dynasty. According to the news from the Wasteland, Tuoba Feng has gathered power and established an elite army of 400,000 people, named Heavenly Sword ......."
"I'm very worried, if these 400,000 iron horsemen knock on Yanshan Pass...... Peng Chengwu only has less than 200,000 troops in his hands now, how can he stop it? ”
Yan Shidao bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, the Privy Council has sent officials to all provinces, and the conscription will start immediately after the beginning of the year." ”
"That's very good...... Kang Ping, this year's report of the household department, is it possible that you really don't plan to show it to me? ”
Dong Kangping pursed his lips and took out a thin booklet from his sleeve pocket, "It's only because that kid got rid of the minister's right attendant that it has been delayed until now." ”
Emperor Xuan took the booklet and grinned: "He is your son-in-law, do you still care about this matter?" ”
Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and showed a bright smile at Dong Kangping, Dong Kangping glared at him and said viciously: "Your mother-in-law told you to bring your family to the house for dinner tonight!" ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly saluted, since he dug up Li Cai, he didn't dare to enter the door of the Dong Mansion these days, and now it seems that this old father-in-law wants to open it, and this is in the past.
Emperor Xuan frowned when he looked at this booklet, "Of the many plans made at the beginning of this year, only the implementation of the new policy has really been implemented. This year, due to the invasion of Yiguo and the scourge of palace bandits, the implementation of the new policy has also been much slower. In addition, there should be abundant grain and grass, but now it is also stretched.
This year, the two Yellow River roads were hit by disasters, and there was already a mature disaster relief strategy, but because the grain and grass had to be supplied to the war, the two Yellow River disaster relief efforts were not effective. I know this, but I have only suffered the people who have been affected by the disaster and displaced them, but fortunately they have not caused a situation of falling into the grass again.
Now that the war in the north has come to an end, and the palace bandits have been appointed, they still can't relax their vigilance. The Yu Dynasty is also facing a very likely trouble in the west, as well as the tiger and wolf in the north.
Therefore, I think that the grain of the two rivers of the Yangtze River needs to be uniformly allocated and cannot be moved. And the grain from the east and west of Shannan had to be gradually sent to Shucheng in Shuzhou to prepare for the transfer of Yu Chunqiu's troops to Shuzhou.
The grain and grass collected by Huainan Road should be sent to Cangtong, an important town in the south, just in case. ”
Dong Kangping listened carefully, Fu Xiaoguan also listened very carefully, he suddenly got up and walked to the wall where the map was hung, looked at it carefully, and then frowned.
"Something is wrong!"
