Chapter 518: Clever Calculation
Originally, the military affairs in Liaoshui made Emperor Yang of Sui upset, and now the officials of the sixteen states of Youji are making trouble again, but this is also a signal.
"This Li De has finally attacked the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji."
"Your Majesty, this may be a good thing." The father-in-law next to him said.
"Tell me about it."
"Youzhou has Her Royal Highness Princess Lanling in charge, as long as Your Majesty's relationship is still there, Li De will not rebel against the Sui State." My husband is fair.
"How can you be so sure that he won't rebel?"
"The old slave said that His Majesty doesn't like to hear it, now there are 200,000 elite vanguards, if you want to rebel, you can build a country long ago, why take the initiative to attack the Turks, and quell the chaos on the border of Sui is in line with the current situation." The husband continued.
Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it, if he didn't consider his imperial status, this Li De was really a talent, and he developed the vanguard in a short period of time, and he also had 200,000 soldiers and horses.
He can understand Li De's this, but it is just for self-preservation, but the imperial power is above, so that he, the emperor, has to think about the worst.
Listening to the people around him mention this, he wanted to hear it.
"Go on." Emperor Yang of Sui said.
He knew that this old eunuch had too much information about him, and since he still had to listen to it, he might have a way, and it would be beneficial for him to know more.
"The sixteen states of Youji have been plundered by the Turks and the Northern Barbarians all the year round, many state capitals have been overwhelmed, and the people have been displaced and moved away, and the annual cost of materials in the sixteen states of Youji is a big expense, but the situation is getting worse and worse year by year, such a place is a burden to the said, Li De is a royal horse, and he is half a royal person, so it is better to solve problems for His Majesty."
The old man's knowing smile, if an outsider sees the expressions of the two, he will definitely think more.
Emperor Yang of Sui pondered, and what his husband said was very clear to him, that is, he was stable.
The value of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji to the Sui State is just like that, in addition to being a face, it also has the effect of defending against foreign enemies, at least it can be temporarily contained.
The places that are not managed all the year round are controlled by various families, for example, there can be no many people in the sixteen states of Youji, but there must be no Luo family, because the Turks come to attack, and they all have to rely on the soldiers and horses of the Luo family to defend against the enemy.
Now Li De really wants to take over the sixteen states of Youji, it is not easy to govern such a large place, and the local family power is enough for him to have a headache.
Now the vanguard is ironclad, if they are given a chance to separate, things may be different, the old eunuch is right, Li De's vanguard can be used.
The sixteen states of Youji are so big, and the vanguard is scattered in various state capitals, which can defend the borders for the Sui State and protect the people of the sixteen states, and the other thing is that for a long time, through the influence of the imperial court, through the local officials to deal with more problems.
Emperor Yang of Sui's current calculations are good, but the local officials are thinking about their future, which makes Emperor Yang of Sui embarrassed.
But if Li De is not allowed to take over the territory, then it will inevitably set off a tough reception incident, and then the vanguard will be equivalent to directly controlling the sixteen states.
At that time, if you want to get it back, I am afraid that there will be a war, and there is no other choice.
Now that the matter of imperial power is threatened, Li De's matter should not be extraneous and help the Sui State to protect Youzhou and contain the enemy, which is actually a very good result.
Besides, there is no need to spend for the sixteen states of Yanyun, you can save a lot of expenses, and there are not many people in that place for a long time, otherwise the Luo family will only pull out 30,000 soldiers and horses.
There are thousands of people who are damaged in the battle every year, and the Luo family can support it until now, and it must have used all the forces of the sixteen states of the thistle.
Li De's recruitment is very efficient, and the lieutenants rely on their family connections to go to various state capitals to pull people, and there are displaced people to supplement, most of whom are from the Central Plains.
To be honest, being able to gather 200,000 people is really a skill.
"What you said makes some sense, Li De is a royal person after all, since this is the case, then Gu will issue an edict and let Li De take charge of the sixteen states of Youji." Emperor Yang of Sui said.
In this way, Li De's side didn't plan to do anything, and the emperor's edict was sent.
If the local officials did not cooperate with Li Deyou, they would directly dismiss the local officials and investigate them, and just a few days later, the officials in the sixteen states of Youji received the news.
Luo's family, Luo Yi has been back home for two days and has said about Li De, but his father didn't say anything, and his attitude was very calm, so Luo Yi couldn't understand it.
"Father, Your Majesty has made an order, what are we going to do?" Luo Yi asked.
Luo Yi's father shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Luo Yi's attitude.
"Silly boy, you don't understand, it's the best statement that our Luo family can't make a statement, now I'll tell you so as not to suffer when you get it."
"It's the father, the boy, listen." Luo Yidao.
"The vanguard is strong, and it is easy to recover the sixteen states of Youji, but why haven't they done it for a long time, but informed them by sending a message, the clever thing is that the whole thing Li De wants is logical."
Luo Yi is really a gang, and he really doesn't know the doorway.
"Please also tell me the details from my father." Luo Yi continued.
"What Li De really wants is to pass the news to His Majesty through the officials of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji, and let His Majesty make a decision, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji have already been caught by Li De, and letting the emperor make a choice is to solve the matter without much effort and without moving a single soldier."
Luo Yi was not stupid and understood as soon as he heard it, but his doubts rose again, and he continued to ask: "Since it can be logical, then why let the child convince his father?" ”
"Haha, this is Li De's cleverness, he is thinking about the Luo family and leaving a way back for the Luo family, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous."
Luo Yi was a little puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
"You see, if the Luo family opened their mouths to support Li De first, then the imperial court would inevitably classify us as Li De's forces, but he didn't do this, if he did this, our Luo family would be tied to him, and the smart thing is that he didn't do it, not only did he harden his favor, but also won respect."
The phenomenon of Luo Yi is really like this, even if the emperor wants to find a posterior, the Luo family can also clear up the relationship.
"Now that the emperor has made a decision, our Luo family can be safe, Li De has to say that it is reasonable for us not to support it."
Luo Yi's father didn't say that Li De's hand was really powerful, and he invisibly put the Luo family and the sixteen states of Youji into it, even if he wanted to stay out of it.
