Chapter 134: The Imperial Council

"Ten days ......" Li Ling pondered again and again, thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, and then he raised his head to look at the sages, and said seriously: "If there are enough craftsmen, you can try ......"

"During the Warring States Period, the nations competed, and in order to capture the fortified fortresses, all countries were equipped with a large number of instruments called 'cannons'......" Li Ling recalled some ancient book descriptions he had read, and said: "The gun carriage is based on wood as a frame, and the rope is pulled by manpower and sends stones, which can hit the enemy fortress at hundreds or even hundreds of paces, destroy its fortress, and kill its soldiers!" ”

The sage listened to this, overjoyed, and said, "Sure enough, there is such an artifact? ”

"Hmm!" Li Ling nodded, he not only knew, but had also seen the physical object of the artillery carriage - in the Chang'an arsenal, there were more than ten giant artillery carriages sealed, the largest was even as high as a hill, with wheels installed, it took more than a dozen horses to pull, and it took at least two hundred people to operate it!

But its power is far beyond imagination!

It is said that when Qin attacked Wei Zhao Jiancheng, this kind of artillery carriage was used on a large scale.

Throw several, tens, or even hundreds of pounds of stones onto the enemy's city walls and arrow towers.

That is, in the past few decades, the Han army has shifted from infantry to cavalry, and its combat mission has also shifted from siege to field annihilation of the enemy, and cavalry movement.

Only then did these large-scale equipment, which were once famous on the battlefield, lie in the arsenal and eat ashes.

If dozens of imitation artillery carriages can be assembled, even if the technology is not up to par and the operation is unfamiliar, the power is far inferior to that of China's artillery carriages.

However, it was enough to threaten the defenders of Luntai and suppress the firepower of their defenders.

The sage was already excited to jump up, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately send people to gather all the craftsmen from Qiuzi, Cheshi, Shache, Jingjie and other countries to Ben Tu Lu!" ”

"Do it right away! The sooner the better! ”

……………………………………

"Liu Xun is coming, and the ministers are welcome!" Accompanied by Huo Guang's voice, Liu Xun walked in in his regular clothes.

"Ministers greet Your Majesty, my emperor has a long life!" The ministers immediately stood up and bowed down.

"Get up!" Liu Xun sat on the throne, waved his hand and said, "The situation is urgent, don't talk about those false courtesies!" ”

When it comes to military matters, His Majesty has always been in a hurry.

Therefore, before he sat down with his buttocks, he looked at Prime Minister Huo Guang and asked: "Prime Minister, I issued an edict earlier, ordering the Gao Que Army and the Wuyuan County soldiers to gallop to Hexi, and also ordered the Che Cavalry General Zhang Anshi to go to the Gaoque Fortress to sit in the town, and now the Che Cai General, Gao Que Jun and the Wuyuan County Soldiers, have they rushed to Hexi?" ”

Huo Guang immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty: The minister has received a report from the Captain of Gaoque and the Taishou of Wuyuan three days ago, and the 2,000 cavalry of the Gaoque Army and the 3,000 infantry of the Captain of the Left of Wuyuan have already entered Zhangye and are on standby!" The general of the chariot cavalry also rushed to the fortress of Gaoque"

Liu Xun listened and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhangye is the transit hub of the Hexi Corridor, the emergency response center of the Han army in Hexi, and the key to controlling and mastering the entire Hexi!

Before, Zhang Anshi was sent to Gaoque Fortress to clean up the Qiang people, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived in Zhangye, Chang Hui can have a new force that can be mobilized.

But Hexi lacks more than just an army!

What's more important is the supplies!

"Dasi Nong!" Liu Xun looked at Da Si Nong again

Tian Yannian asked, "How much grain, grass and arrows has been transported to the north by the Equalization Agency?" ”

Tian Yannian immediately replied: "Your Majesty, half a month ago, the minister had already shipped 200,000 stones of corn, 100,000 stones of wheat flour, 300,000 arrows, and 3,000 sets of armor from Chang'an......

"Five days ago, the minister transported 200,000 stone corn and 150,000 stone soybeans from 10,000 years and transferred them from Chidao to Zhongdao!"

Liu Xun listened, but was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Dasi Nong must ensure that the army on the Hexi front line will not lack a grain of grain, an arrow, and a reward of five baht!" ”

"Understood?" He stood up and stared at Tian Yannian.

Tian Yannian immediately bowed and said: "The minister understands, the minister and the officials of the great Si Nong promise Your Majesty that they will never let the front-line army lack food and pay less!" ”

"Good!" Liu Xun nodded: "Da Si Nong, please go back and preside over the military posture transportation!" ”

Then, he looked at Liu De on the other side and asked, "General Baxia, if there is an emergency, how many days can the general lead the army to Hexi?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the eyes of the whole hall gathered on Liu De.

Everyone was waiting for him to answer.

Liu Xun's question, although it is described very tactfully, everyone knows that the so-called 'things are urgent' is actually translated as 'If Chang Hui overturns, how long can General Baxia rush over to wipe his ass?' ’。

I have to say that this question is very tricky and very black.

However, the person who asked the question was Liu Xun, and no one dared to question it.

Even Liu De didn't dare to avoid it, so he could only answer directly: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has an edict, the minister can lead a light horse to Hexi day and night!" ”

"Within three days, you can go to the Northland Guyuan ......"

The rest of the words, needless to say, when you arrive in Guyuan, you can lead the knights of the Northland to rush to the aid of Hexi.

After listening to this, Liu Xun bowed his head slightly, and said: "With the words of the general, I am relieved!" ”

He walked back to his throne and sat down, looking at his ministers, carefully observing their expressions.

He did it on purpose!

deliberately raised this question, deliberately tore apart the relationship between General Baxia and Huo Guang, and even unabashedly wanted to set General Baxia and Huo Guang against each other.

As a king, he always knows clearly that the relationship between courtiers must not be too close, and even become friends and confidants!

This hand is still a point to understand from the living notes of Emperor Liu Che of Xiaowu.

Since Emperor Xiaowu succeeded to the throne, Liu Che's operation has always been very clear - at the beginning, he instigated Wei Qihou Dou Ying to fight with Wu'an Hou Tianwei, and then, he instigated Wuqiang Hou Zhuang Qingzhai to fight with Yushi Dafu Zhang Tang, and at the same time, he was also the biggest promoter of the infighting of Wei Huo's foreign relatives group!

For more than fifty years, he has never stopped manipulating courtiers to fight each other!

Especially the powerful ministers who hold great power, or the generals who hold the power of the army!

It can be said that only those who are willing to provoke, stimulate and promote the struggle can be regarded as the real powerful ministers or powerful factions of the Han Empire.

As for those who he doesn't want to stimulate and provoke, they are generally either his favorite ministers, close ministers, or marginal figures in the court.

None of the powerful Jiuqing and the powerful generals can escape his control!

This is the ancestral skill of the old Liu family - courtiers, only fight with each other, Jun

The power of the king will be supreme and unique.

Otherwise, the ministers will be righteous in private.

Isn't the king going to be trapped in the palace by them, and become a puppet who decrees that he does not leave the palace?

Since Taizong, three or four generations have not declined, and the use of the furnace has been perfect, and it has even reached the point of doing what you want.

Observing the reactions of the ministers, Liu Xun's heart was already happy.

Because, he obviously noticed that there was a spark between Prime Minister Huo Guang's officials and those ministers, nobles and generals who were usually good friends with Huo Guang or Chang Hui.

The hostility, dissatisfaction, disdain, and ambition in those eyes can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

This is exactly what he wants!

This is exactly what he wants!

When Huo Guang and Liu De are opposed, even if in the future, Liu De rises to dominate the court because of this exploit, there is no need to worry that no one can restrain him.

That's not enough.

As time moves forward, he will try to attract hatred to Liu De as much as possible according to the situation.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that even if Liu De's strength swells to the peak of the Weihuo era in the future, Liu De will still obey him and obey him!

What's even better is that at that time, both Liu De and his opponents must rely on the support and protection of him, the king.

Both sides have to remember his goodness, and they all have to thank him for Liu Xun's 'endless rewards'.

Of course, provocation is provocation, and state affairs belong to state affairs.

When it comes to militaristic politics, Liu Xun still has a clear idea.

So, at the end of the conversation, he brushed it off and turned his attention elsewhere.

"Pawn Country!" Liu Xun named again.

"The minister is here!" Xu Li immediately stood by.

"Be sure that all the vassal states of the canon are captains, obey orders, obey orders, and make no mistakes!" Liu Xun commanded.

Xu Li immediately bowed: "No! Respectfully! ”

At such a moment, the subject state of the subject state of the capital of the canon country really needs a strong figure to suppress it.

This is not only to mobilize the war potential as much as possible and ensure victory in the war, but also to ensure that there will be no more Erwuzai in the subject country's captain!

Basically command and arrange these things.

Liu Xun began to officially preside over the imperial meeting, and he waved his hand and said, "All the secretaries sit down and ......."

When the ministers were seated, he clapped his palms, and the attendants came out of the corridors on the left and right sides, and delivered bound pamphlets to the ministers.

"This is the strategy and ......deployment of Hexi reported by Zheng Jiyue, the capital of the Western Regions," Liu Xun said slowly: "I have discussed with the prime minister, the imperial servant, the guard, the ruling Jinwu, and Guangluxun, and I think it is feasible!" ”

fo

"However, Sun Wuyun: The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count it as much; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing at all? ”

"There are police in Hexi today, thieves and criminals are forbidden, and the Qing and others have a look, if you have any opinions and questions, you can put them forward......

The ministers listened and opened the pamphlet in front of them.
