After listening to Yang Yun's words, Zhang Jiuling nodded with satisfaction.

This is exactly the "excellent quality" he hopes Yang Yun should have, in addition to political correctness, doing things must also be in line with his heart.

"Father, Zhang Shuai appointed a lot of Hu generals at the border pass, and thought that the Hu people were brave and good at fighting, but now it seems that the Hu people are not familiar with military books, do not know the right time and place, and do not know the strategy of advance and retreat...... If we can't even do the least thing to open the way for the whole army, how can we be entrusted with heavy tasks? This time it is just right to correct the bad habit of reusing Hu Jiang in the border town, you must know that the heart of the non-my race will be different. Zhang Zheng lashed out sharply.

Zhang Jiuling nodded, it seemed that what his son said was very much in line with his thoughts.

Yang Yun saw that Zhang Jiuling was going to attack the Hu generals in the border town.

That's a good thing for him.

In history, it was precisely because of the great power in the hands of Hu generals like An Lushan that the Anshi Rebellion led to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

It is not simply a problem of An Lushan, in fact, Hu Jiang later completely controlled the border towns, An Lushan controlled the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, An Sishun led Shuofang, Geshuhan governed Hexi and Longyou, and among the ten border towns, only Feng Changqing unified Beiting and Anxi, Yang Guozhong led Jiannan and Pei Dun to reunify Lingnan, but the four towns led by the Han people were too far away from Chang'an and Luoyang, and their strength was not good.

Of course, Ge Shuhan is chivalrous, brave, loyal, and different, but there is no doubt that Li Longji has problems in employing people.

"Zhang Linggong, the younger generation has snooped on the heavenly opportunity before, and learned that some Hu generals will endanger the Tang Dynasty and the society, and it is likely that someone will lead the army to make chaos in the future, so it is better for the younger generation to talk to His Majesty, and take this opportunity to eradicate the threat and prevent the slightest ...... I don't know what you think about it? ”

Yang Yun took the initiative to undertake the task of suing the emperor this time, anyway, the emperor likes to listen to the words of immortals and ghosts, if Li Longji really wants to protect Lushan, he will say that An Lushan is a demon, and use some so-called miracles to support his statement, so An Lushan will definitely die.

Zhang Jiuling frowned and looked at Yang Yun.

He called Yang Yun this time, just to test Yang Yun's political tendencies, but he was not prepared to really use Yang Yun to deal with those disobedient generals in the frontier.

But after listening to the "heavenly opportunity" revealed by Yang Yun, and then listening to this cheap grandson-in-law vowing to help him solve the hidden dangers in the border town, Zhang Jiuling felt that Yang Yun was a powerful assistant.

This family business is a pair!

"Father, Yang Gongzi has the courage to do things, this is a good thing!"

Zhang Zheng couldn't hide his joy and said to Zhang Jiuling with a smile.

Now that we are a family, Yang Yun is your grandson-in-law, since he said that he wants to help us deal with the "evil forces" in the DPRK and China, and starts with the emperor's most believing prophecy, isn't this in our interests?

Zhang Jiuling was extremely cautious about this matter, and said: "If you only say that it is a heavenly opportunity, the old man thinks it is too absurd, but it is not impossible for you to go and talk about it, after all, you are now serving the imperial history, and there was a deviation at the beginning of the frontier war, which is enough to show how unreliable the border town marshal's earlier advances are, and the imperial history should indeed be corrected." ”

It seems that Zhang Jiuling didn't agree with Yang Yun's statement, but in fact, he completely agreed, but first said ugly things, let Yang Yun take responsibility, he didn't mix, so as not to damage his good reputation of not believing in ghosts and gods.

Of course, Yang Yun knew that Zhang Jiuling wanted to use the evil way to deal with political enemies, but also didn't want to be gossiped about.

Don't you just want to be a clear stream?

I will fulfill you!

"After the junior goes back, he will draft a recital, make a statement to His Majesty, and hope that Zhang Linggong will mention more points in the court in the future." Yang Yun finally made a statement.

Now the atmosphere in the study is more harmonious, and the marriage between Zhang and Yang's families has finally begun to have an effect.

……

……

When Yang Yun came out, Zhang Zheng personally saw off the guests, and taught Yang Yun on the way.

Probably said how to write the song, but he didn't understand the part about the warnings and prophecies from the heavens, so he just entrusted the words of justice to the emperor, and asked the emperor to deal with the responsibility of the generals who failed to enter the army, and at the same time deal with the main battle faction in the DPRK and China, so as to set the record straight.

Zhang Zheng was more anxious than Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling just wanted to use Yang Yun to deal with Zhang Shouqi, who had been a little drifting recently, and now Zhang Zheng's intention was to take down the two main battle factions of Gao Lishi and Li Linfu in one fell swoop.

"I know what to do."

Yang Yun was quite unimpressed, but he showed a submissive attitude, as for how to write the specific performance after he went back, he had his own ideas.

When he returned home, Yang Yun drafted the first edict after entering the court, and sent it to the Yushitai half an hour later, and then submitted it from the Yushitai to the top.

As a result, that night, Gao Lishi saw the music, and was startled after reading, and hurried to visit Li Linfu's house.

Li Linfu looked at Yang Yun's recital, frowned and said: "This Uncle Yang has been silent before, without any action, and suddenly he wants to deal with the generals of Northern Xinjiang, is there any intention of Zhang Qujiang in it?" ”

In this recital, Yang Yun did not mention that the main battle faction in the DPRK and China should be held responsible, but he clearly stated that the dereliction of duty of the generals must be severely punished, and even involved some natural opportunities, which naturally affected the interests of the main battle faction...... If they have to bear the responsibility for the defeat of the expedition, why should the high-level officials of the DPRK and China who are fully promoting the use of troops against the Turks not have any responsibility at all?

Gao Lishi said: "Zhang Xiang has always been pretentious, and he will never use the matter of Kanyu Xuankong as an introduction to interfere in court affairs, and it stands to reason that Uncle Yang has little to do with him." ”

"That Gao Gong, I don't know what you think should be done? If Your Majesty sees ...... I'm afraid that even Zhang Yuanbao won't end well. Li Linfu said nervously.

Yuanbao is Zhang Shoujue's name, which belongs to a banner of the Tang Dynasty military today.

At the beginning, Li Linfu insisted on opposing Zhang Jiuling and pulling Gao Lishi into the water, and the two seemed to be representatives of the main battle faction in the DPRK and China, but in fact, Gao Lishi just wanted to get closer to the top of the army and consolidate his power, but he didn't expect to cause a commotion. This time, Gao Lishi came to Li Linfu to think about how this matter should end.

In any case, the defeat of the troops in the northern border town, the two belong to grasshoppers on a rope.

Gao Lishi said: "General Zhang seems to want to put the responsibility for the failure of the expedition on the following generals, how can it end badly?" Maybe he still wants to kill the person who mistook him and vent the hatred in his heart. ”

Li Linfu asked, "What does Gao Gong mean ......?" ”

"Me? What can I do? This is the first time that Uncle Yang Guo has played after entering the court, if he does not report the performance to His Majesty, His Majesty will find out afterwards, who can afford to take responsibility? Your Majesty estimates that you will be out of the customs tomorrow, and you must submit this performance to see what Your Majesty's opinion is. Gao Lishi said helplessly.

Li Linfu listened to the meaning of Gao Lishi's words, and the matter of Yang Yun wanting to get rid of the Hu generals in the north in the name of eliminating treachery and evil must be known to Li Longji, and Li Longji has always believed in these doctrines.

So what was the purpose of Colliers coming to him?

Li Linfu suddenly thought of a very bad result: "Didn't Gaolishi take this opportunity to put all the blame on me?" Looking back, he has nothing to do and is light? ”

Sure enough, when Gao Lishi was leaving, he said with bad intentions: "Li Xilang, this is led by you to promote the border army to fight, I just listened to your opinion, and said two sentences in front of Your Majesty, if something happens, don't think about pushing me, otherwise no one will be able to protect you at that time!" ”

Just when Li Linfu felt that something was wrong and was about to refute, Gao Lishi's words changed: "But you don't have to worry too much, now the northern Xinjiang is just a small defeat, Your Majesty doesn't want the military to waver, it must be a big thing to a small thing, and a small thing to nothing." As for the views of some people in the DPRK, His Majesty may not take them to heart. ”

After Li Linfu sent Gao Lishi away, he felt uneasy.

Now that Gao Lishi wants to get out of the matter, the responsibility for the defeat will all fall on him, the representative of the main battle faction.

"If I knew this, I shouldn't have worked against Zhang Qujiang, and this was not my errand. Now that the army has been frustrated, I will suffer alone, but how can I decide the national policy alone? Alas, I hope it will not affect His Majesty's opinion of me, otherwise the official position will not be guaranteed. ”

……

……

The next morning, Li Longji finished his retreat and came out of the small dark room, drowsy and depressed.

It is a painful and laborious thing to let a person who is addicted to alcohol and meditate in a dark room in front of the statue of the gods.

"Your Majesty, something has happened in the northern Xinjiang...... Zhang Shuai led the army to the expedition, but was ambushed by Turkic soldiers and horses, and there was a small loss...... "Gao Lishi hurriedly reported important military information.

Originally, this kind of thing should have been told to Li Longji last night, but in Gao Lishi's intention, since it was only a small defeat and did not involve the stability of the frontier city, it did not need to be too grand, lest the emperor think that he had suffered a big defeat.

Li Longji said listlessly: "Didn't you say that there was civil strife in the grassland? Why was it frustrated as soon as the troops were dispatched? Is there a battle report? ”

"Yes."

Gao Lishi hurriedly submitted the emergency military report sent by the Youzhou Jiedu Embassy.

Li Longji didn't bother to look at it carefully, and waved his hand: "How did Zhang Shouqi report it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, General Zhang's intentions, the defeat of the troops was completely caused by several Hu generals who did not listen to the order, advanced lightly, and fell into an ambush by the Turks. Later, General Zhang led the Chinese army to charge, and the Turks took the initiative to withdraw their troops, and the two sides did not start a strategic decisive battle. "Colliers deliberately made things very light.

Li Longji asked: "How many Tang soldiers were killed or injured?" ”

Suddenly asked by the emperor about the idea, Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly, but he still reported it truthfully: "The Youzhou Jiedu envoy reported that it was a loss of more than 4,000 horses...... However, the Turks probably suffered the same loss. ”

"More than 4,000 horses?"

This loss is obviously not within the scope of Li Longji's acceptance.

Li Longji was extremely wise, and immediately said: "Since they were ambushed by others, how could the Turks lose 4,000 soldiers and horses?" There is a clear problem with this report, is there a situation of false reporting and concealment? ”

Gao Lishi was puzzled: "Your Majesty, this old minister doesn't know, but he will report to Youzhou Jiedu, and later he will escort several generals who led to the defeat of the first battle to Luoyang and hand them over to the court for trial and conviction. But in the opinion of the old minister, this kind of thing ...... Don't make a noise. ”

"Hmm."

Li Longji was angry at first, but after listening to Colliers' advice, he felt that it made sense.

It is best to say that the Turks suddenly invaded the south, and our Tang soldiers took the initiative to meet the attack, and after bloody battles, they annihilated 4,000 enemies, successfully repelled the invasion of the Turks, and won a great victory in defending the territory......

"This matter, I will discuss it with a few important ministers when I go back, is there anything else?" Li Longji was very happy, he had suffocated him in the past two days, and he naturally wanted to "relax" first after he came out.

Gao Lishi said: "There is also the performance of the new servant Shi Yang Yun here. ”

As he spoke, he took out Yang Yun's recital and solemnly presented it to Li Longji.
