"What Yang Su said is light." Li Xinchen slapped the piece on the table.

Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie, who were talking in a low voice, raised their heads at the same time, and the civil officials who were next to Gu Yewang also quieted down.

"What do you think?" Li Xinchen said next.

Xiao Maha hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, the views of the Taiwei Mansion and the army are the same, the main purpose of the north should be to deter us, and then send troops to attack the Turks." According to the news from the white robe, it is very likely that the Turks will continue to move south this year, and the cavalry from the two northern sides will also begin to move north one after another, and the purpose is self-evident. ”

"Is there any movement in Huaibei?"

"Wang Liang is stepping up the construction of a defensive line and building a camp along the line from Luliang to North Xuzhou." Pei Zilie replied.

"The Huaibei tortoise shell is already strong enough, and Wang Rail has to add another layer. This royal track will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. Li Xinchen frowned. Among the many generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he could accept anyone, but Wang Liang couldn't.

In the battle of Luliang, Wang Rail was the commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and all the tragedies experienced by Li Xinchen began with Wang Rail. It seems that Wang Liang himself understands this truth, so he has not been busy attacking Huainan all these years, but has constantly consolidated the defense of Huaibei, and the entire Huaibei front line has really made him clothed in a turtle shell.

"Tell Wu Huijue and Lu Zicai to stay vigilant." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "Huainan is close at hand, and I am not worried, the problem is Shuzhong and Northwest." If Yang Jian really wants to do something to us, can he stop it? ”

"General Cao, Governor Changsun, and Governor Xu should still be on their way," King Gu Ye hurriedly said, "No matter what the situation in the northwest is, the minister thinks that he will start preparing for war." ”

"Well, prevention is better than prevention, we can't gamble." Li Xinchen waved his hand, which meant that the imperial court, which had just been operating in a peaceful era for less than two months, was about to turn into war again, but no one knew if this war would come. But fortunately, the Lingnan side has finally settled down, and Xiao Shilian is now clearing the remnants of Baiyue, and there is no pressure, otherwise the Han will not have to fight on two fronts.

"Yang Su's recital also made it clear that the biggest problem in Shuzhong now is the lack of veterans, so he transferred troops back from Jingzhou, and asked Du Qi to cooperate with the conscription of the southern and central departments to go north." Li Xinchen pondered and said, "Since we put on a posture, then we will put it on." In addition, let the general office immediately send someone to ask Yang Jian what he meant. If he wants to go north, he can make concessions on the price of timber and Shu brocade to support him. The same can also be told to Yu Wenxian. ”

"This ······" The civil and military officials were a little surprised.

It's all tense, and it's too much, and you have to show goodwill, isn't it too much?

"The Turks are not so easy to deal with, if the two of them can't let go of their hands and feet, maybe they will lose the battle, and then it will be lively." Li Xinchen smiled bitterly, "If the Turks go south, we have to move even if we don't want to." ”

Everyone immediately understood that the Han Dynasty shouted the Northern Expedition every day, but now everyone still has a little bit of a count of how much strength the country has, and the chances of winning the Northern Expedition at this time are not great. If the Turks rushed into the Central Plains like the Wuhu Chaohua did at the beginning, the Han would have to go north, otherwise wouldn't it become a new Northern and Southern Dynasties?

"The current situation is very good, Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian, don't let me down," Li Xinchen muttered to himself, and immediately thought of something, "Where is Yang Su now, why haven't you arrived at Jiankang Mansion yet?!" ”

"Your Majesty, you have already come to the east of the White Emperor City, and you should soon arrive at Jiankang Mansion." Xiao Maha hurriedly said, Yang Su, who joined the army all the way back and forth, so many things in the Taiwei Mansion were all pressed on his shoulders alone, and of course he also hoped that Yang Su could come back quickly.

"Let him hurry," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, changing the subject, "How is the northwest side arranged?" ”

"The number of soldiers and horses in the northwest cities is not large, now we are mainly sending soldiers and horses in Shu to the north, and the cities in the northwest are strictly guarded, as long as we survive this winter, after the spring and spring ploughing of the next year are over, we can draw out some people to go north." Xiao Maha is already confident about this, "According to the current situation, it is unlikely that Yang Jian will directly act in the northwest with 10,000 people, and it is Yu Yi and Yu Xi's father and son who came, both of whom are defeated by His Majesty's subordinates, the meaning should be relatively clear, but now the Taiwei Mansion is worried about the ······ north of the northwest."

Li Xinchen frowned, and immediately understood what Xiao Maha meant, north of the northwest, after the Great Wall, it was outside the Saiwai, and it was now the territory of the Turks. Previously, the Turks had little interest in the northwest.

In this place in the northwest, to the north is the territory of the Turks, and to the west is the territory of Tuyuhun, but Tuyuhun is still in the west of the desert, and the threat to the northwest is not very big, but occasionally people are sent to Yumen Pass to Yangguan to harass the first line. This is mainly because both the Turkic and Tuyuhun people know that most places in the northwest are overgrown with weeds, and if they rush in once from thousands of miles, it is very likely that they will not be able to grab anything, and they may not even be able to catch much population.

Many of the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms have established foundations in the northwest, but basically they are not long-lasting, and they can only be divided into one side, which shows that the northwest is no longer the time when the Silk Road was opened, when the flow of people surged, the sparse population and scattered gathering places have made it difficult for the northwest to unite much strength.

Therefore, Tuyuhun and the Turks have not had much interest in the northwest for a long time, especially if the Turks move south from the northwest, they may also be attacked by Tuyuhun on the flanks - compared to the barren northwest, Tuyuhun is obviously more interested in the Turks.

But now it's different, once Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian take action against the Turks in the north, the Turks will definitely have some losses, and after winter comes, the tribes that have tasted the sweetness because of the raids in the previous two years will definitely not be willing to freeze on the grassland, and it seems reasonable to choose another breakthrough. And the huge northern border of China, only the northwest remains. It's better to have something to grab than nothing to grab at all, at least so that the leaders who have come down from the bottom can give an account to the tribe.

Thinking of this, Li Xinchen couldn't help but have a headache, and said helplessly: "Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian didn't dare to hit our attention, so they went to provoke the Turks, and the Turks are very likely to dare not fight their ideas, and in turn provoke us?" Who is afraid of whom? ”

The ministers immediately looked at each other and smiled bitterly, it was really such a funny truth.

And Xiao Maha said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, for the two enemies in the north, we are a whole, but in the eyes of the Turks, we can only see the northwest, so we have to guard against it."
