Chapter 114: Long-distance and close attack
When an official reaches the level of Wei Renpu, he has a lot of things to think about. If he was a Hanlin scholar, he would also follow the leaders everywhere and figure out the emperor's intentions, in order to progress as soon as possible and be promoted as soon as possible. However, he is now the head of the household department, and this official position is already upside down for him at present. Li Gu and Wang Pu in front of him are famous, and they are also practical people, they have helped Guo Wei govern the Great Zhou well in the past two years, although the emperor has been replaced, but Guo Rong does not need Guo Wei to be bad at all, how can he not use such a talent? In this way, he Wei didn't have the strength to arch them down, and since there was no chance of progress, he thought that things would have to come out more or less from reality.
Wei Renpu's body shook, ready to stand up. Guo Rong spoke: "What Wang Aiqing said is very reasonable, the so-called enemy is weak, and I am strong." If the enemy is stronger, I will be weaker. Huainan is the foundation of the Chu State, and if we can turn Huainan into a battlefield, then it will be difficult for the Chu State to recover. However, we are not in a good situation right now. Wei Aiqing, what do you think should be done? ”
Wei Renpu's heart was overwhelmed, he glanced at Guo Rong with his residual eyes, and immediately understood what kind of situation he was in now, and he couldn't say anything against it. Why? Today's events have reached the point where they are now, and it is already very obvious, at the beginning, Wang Pu's words can also be considered that he is showing himself and striving for the opportunity to be promoted; But as soon as Guo Rong interjected, the meaning completely changed, and the emperor probably wanted to go south very much. But Guo Rong has just ascended the throne, he will definitely not go his own way, now that Wang Pu and Li Gu, the two important ministers, have expressed their rightness, and if they oppose it at this time, the emperor's strategy of going south may be stillborn. I'm afraid this will affect the prestige of the emperor, and he is also the emperor's confidant no matter how he says, and in this case, the boss's face is also very important. If the ministers below are divided into two factions, one faction for the main battle and the other faction for peace, then the final decision will return to the emperor, whether it is fight or peace, all have the emperor to decide, which will not affect Guo Rong's prestige.
In the current situation, Li Gu and Wang Pu are in charge of peace, and Wang Pu is in the main battle, it seems that there are two factions, but Wang Pu, the official position of a bachelor of Hanlin, is a little out of his hands, so he must have a heavyweight to fight the main battle.
Thinking of this, Wei Renpu no longer hesitated, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the southern expedition is not impossible, as long as the command is appropriate, maybe there will be a big harvest?" Didn't General Zhang Yongde and General Zhang go on a campaign in Huainan a while ago? The strength of the state of Chu is real and real, and the generals at the border may have some clearer understanding. The minister suggested that Zhang Yongde should not be allowed to come up to explain the situation in Huainan. ”
Wang Pu didn't do anything when he heard this, he was pushed back by Wang Pu just now, and he became silent. Li Gu glared at Wei Renpu, and said in his heart: What kind of mess are you making, the emperor is afraid that he already has the intention of retreating, if you express your position of peace, won't this matter be shelved.
Li Gu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said after the battle: "Your Majesty, soldiers, the country's major affairs are also." In particular, going south to conquer the Chu State was by no means an overnight matter. Now the four are not clean, at least we should stabilize the Khitan first, and then we can break them individually. ”
Li Gu said a little impatiently, "Distant friendship and close attack" You must not forget, especially when you go south to attack Chu State, if you don't go to the Khitan to communicate first, how can you do it. But as soon as his words came out, he was stunned. The people in the house are all a group of people, and this basic common sense of "long-distance friendship and close attack" should not be unavoided. It is said that it is mainly to send troops to harass it, but it is still separated by a Huai River, and there are not 30,000 or 50,000 people, so it may not be easy to cross the Huai River. But 350,000 horses and horses are already a huge number, and the transfer of these 350,000 people will still have an impact on the deployment of the entire army of the Great Zhou. Especially after giving birth to the evil ** of Yang Gon's southward movement, it is uncertain whether the Khitans will go south again.
Li Gu suddenly felt that this was wrong, and Wang Pu's reason for putting it on the table was indeed reasonable. However, the biggest problem with this plan is not the lack of soldiers and food, or the rough security of the world, but how to deal with the Khitans? With two tigers beside you, you can't expect to fight one tiger and the other one just sleep. You have to communicate with the Khitans. Now the danger of the Khitans going south is even greater than the possibility of Chu going north. After all, the Khitans are a wolf, once he sees through the weakness of our army, I am afraid that he will bite it to the death. First of all, we must stabilize the Khitan.
"Hey... Guo Rong sighed deeply, and his brows seemed to be slightly furrowed.
Although the voice is very soft, it can't stand the silence of this hall. There wasn't a few people below who didn't hear it. What does the emperor's sigh mean? Although he was unwilling, it seemed that he had the intention of giving up.
Wang Pu quickly glanced at Guo Rong, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the 'long-distance and close-range attack' is a necessary means for the soldiers. The minister thought that if he could not appease the Khitan first and rashly attack the Chu State, he was afraid that his army would be in a situation of fighting on both sides. The minister thought that the imperial court might as well send an envoy to the Khitan first to explore the tone of the Khitan people. ”
"Your Majesty, what Lord Li and Lord Wang said are right, but what can we talk about with the Khitans? The Khitan people have always been greedy, but we really have nothing in our hands that can impress the Khitan. It is inevitable to send an envoy to the Khitan to show the indignation of the Great Zhou against Yang Gon's southern invasion, but it is not easy to persuade the Khitan to reconcile with the Great Zhou. For so many years, except for when Shi Jingjiao was the emperor, the Central Plains Dynasty was the sworn enemy of the Khitan, even if it was Shi Jingjiao, as soon as he died, wouldn't Shi Chonggui turn his face with the Khitans? Wang Pu said faintly, his expression no longer seemed to be as excited as he was just now.
"If we can't fight, and we can't make peace, can we only be beaten in Da Zhou?" Guo Rong seemed to be inexplicably irritated, his tone suddenly increased, not at all like the decadent appearance just now, and he stared at the ministers below with cold eyes. Li Gu and the others secretly beat drums in their hearts, they were not only worried about the emperor's anger, they were also a little worried about the current situation, really like the emperor said, if our Great Zhou continues to mess around like this, the future will be in jeopardy.
"Lord Wei, do you know why the Chu State is so rich?" When the monarchs and ministers were extremely sad, Wang Pu seemed to be a little heartless, and jumped out to face Wei Renpu.
These words came too abruptly, and Wei Renpu was just awkward in his heart, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, and replied directly: "Chu has a sea route, and it can communicate with Nanyang." Of course, this is just one reason why Chu is rich, and it is also a reason why it can be put on the table, and it is purely boring to say it for other reasons.
