"The scheming plan in the service made Ben General suddenly open!" Li Guangli clapped his hands and praised Zhang Yuegong.

The other generals also relaxed.

As long as the stability of Loulan can be guaranteed, then the Han army will always be able to control Bailongdui, the choke point in and out of the Western Regions, and have the ability to march to Puchanghai at any time.

Zhang Yue looked at it but sighed lightly, quite regretful.

In fact, the best choice is actually the first plan he proposed - Li Dai Taozhuang.

used a Han person to exchange the roots of Loulan, and then spent more than ten or twenty years to change the cage for birds in Loulan, reducing the original indigenous population of Loulan into a minority, and letting the Han immigrants occupy the majority.

In this way, the Han family can control this place forever.

It's a pity......

However, this matter ran counter to the core values of the Han Empire, and it was impossible to convince the Son of Heaven and the people of the world.

"But in the future, I may be able to continue to implement the strategy of vacating cages for birds on the basis of this plan...... "Zhang Yue thought in his heart.

The area where the Loulan Kingdom is located is about the east of Lop Nur in the later generations, and in this world, this place is not the Gobi Desert that is seriously desertified and has no grass in later generations.

Today, the area of Puchanghai (Lop Nur) is at its largest peak in history.

The meandering Peacock River, along the Loulan Kingdom, flows to the entire Western Regions.

Both Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty had large-scale tuntian fields in Loulan, and the output of local agricultural production was not weaker than that of Juyan and Zhangye.

The developed agriculture and animal husbandry have made Loulan a well-known and wealthy place in the Western Regions.

As long as it is properly developed, this place cannot become a grain-producing area!

Not to mention that Zhang Yue still has room for big killings, and in the future, he may be able to turn the grassland into fertile soil and turn this area into a fortress outside Guanzhong.

I heard Li Guangli bow: "If the matter of Loulan is resolved, can His Royal Highness and the servants be willing to lobby the government and the opposition for the last general and support the punishment of the chariot master?" ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he looked at Zhang Yue and hesitated.

Stand up directly to Li Guangli on the platform? Support the plan for a punitive war against the Driver?

This is a difficult choice for Liu Jin.

Should the chaseist be punished?

For Liu Jin now, this matter can be answered almost without thinking: it should!

But here's the problem......

Can the country's finances and its people afford a big war of this magnitude?

The Yuwushui Battle of Tianhan has just ended, but it has only been five years! (Sorry for reversing the order of Tianhan and Taishi, here is corrected, the Battle of Yuwushui should have taken place in the fourth year of Tianhan five years before the first year of Yanhe, and the Tianhan was Taishi)

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin's expression, and immediately understood what the other party meant, and replied lightly: "Jun Hou, His Royal Highness and the lower officials have a deep hatred for the anti-Han and cheap races such as the Che Master, and they fully agree with the request of the Jun Hou and the generals and doctors to punish the Che Shi......

"The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, the ministers do not ask for thieves and do not bury them, the subordinates of the charioteers, help the abuse, all the Han subjects, the husbands of scholars, are full of righteous indignation, and they can't wait to break their bones and eat their ......flesh and blood."

"But...... Now that the state affairs are difficult and the people's livelihood is difficult, I hope that the monarch and the generals will think twice......"

"The mobilization of the army took a lot of money, and the top priority, the officials and His Royal Highness thought that it should be 'open up the fields, store more grain, recuperate, and restore national strength'......" Zhang Yue bowed and said: "As for the crusade against the unsubordinate and the punishment of the thief, it can be postponed for a few years......

"The revenge of Xianggong Fu IX, the Spring and Autumn Period, why rush the revenge of the gentleman?"

Li Guangli listened, but his cheeks twitched, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Recruiting the chariot division and punishing these Huns' lackeys and eagle dogs, this is the grand strategy that Li Guangli has thought about and thought about every day in the past few years after the Battle of Yuwushui!

In fact, the Battle of the Cheshi is just an introduction, a beginning!

Li Guangli's real plan was to completely destroy the Cheshi after the war, and to establish a Luntai-like cantonment base on the homeland of the Cheshi Kingdom, so as to push the front line of the Han army from the Juyan area to Puchanghai at once.

This will not only bring great security to the production and life of the Juyan region - just like the Changping Liehou recovered the new Qinzhong (Hetao) in Henan, and the champion Jinghenghou seized Hexi, transferring the war from the Han land to the enemy land.

As long as this plan is successful, once the strategic goal is achieved, he can compete with Wei Qinghuo to get sick, and at least he will become the strongest Han general after Wei Qinghuo gets sick!

will gain fame and fortune all of a sudden, and he will also step on the victory of the Cheshi War, and become a great hero and hero admired and worshiped by the whole world!

If you want to become a big hero and a big hero, this is Li Guangli's long-term dream and ideal!

Moreover, it is not only for him to benefit from this matter.

The national community can also benefit a lot!

The Qiuzi and Pu kingdoms, which were separated from the Cheshi and Loulan and Gushi kingdoms, were city-states and kingdoms that existed around the Puchanghai and the Peacock River.

And Puchanghai and Peacock River are the largest rivers and largest lakes in the eastern and western regions!

Water is the foundation of the livelihood of all countries in the Western Regions.

Controlling Puchanghai is equivalent to controlling the entire Eastern and Western regions.

And even the Xiongnu servants who died of thirst in Weisu, Yanqi, and Weili were all lieutenants.

So in fact, Li Guangli's strategy is actually part of a huge strategy.

The Punishment Driver is just the beginning.

The reason why he only came back to ask for the 'punishment of the driver' seems to be just to launch a retaliatory strike war. In fact, it is to reduce the difficulty, so as not to hesitate in the court's 'Nonopuff' (Huo Quai's language).

When he was authorized, he led the army into battle.

How to fight this war, it's not up to him to have the final say?

Will be outside the king's life will not be affected!

There are a few excuses that can be found, such as ...... In the process of punishing the chariot division, a Han cavalry 'accidentally' and 'lost' entered the territory of the Qiuzi or Pu countries.

In order to rescue this friendly army, the main force of the Han army was 'forced' to enter the territory of Qiuzi and carry out operations.

Who knew that the Qiuzi people actually had no heaven' and even humiliated the 'majesty of the Han family'.

At this time, as the gentleman of Zhuxia, he was waiting for the west of the Han Dynasty, so he could naturally take up the banner of 'Spring and Autumn Righteousness' and carry out further actions.

The three princes and nine kings in the Chang'an court, can it still be said that he Li Guangli is wrong to defend the 'righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period'?

This has always been the best trick of the military generals group against the civilian clique.

At this moment, hearing Zhang Yue's objections, Li Guangli didn't think so.

He even felt that this might be the selfishness of this Zhang Shizhong.

People's livelihood is in trouble?

He was a military man and never thought about it.

Since he joined the army, he has never worried about money and food.

All he has to do is fight!

As for the financial and logistical issues, those are the issues that the Grand Si Nong, the Young Minister, and the Prime Minister need to consider.

If he wants to think about this, then do you want these Jiuqing and Three Princes to do it?

Therefore, he just listened and knew the opinions of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

Now, it's going well.

Although the other party euphemistically expressed his objections (in Li Guangli's view, this is most likely because this Zhang Zizhong wants to lead his troops out to pinch the soft persimmon of the car division in the future), but at least there is no objection.

No objection is good faith neutrality!

With this attitude, he is relieved and satisfied!

As long as this upstart doesn't go to the Son of Heaven to mess up his plans, he has no scruples.

As for financial difficulties? Lack of horses?

As long as the Son of Heaven agrees, it will be passed at the court.

Who would dare to lack a single hair of his army?

Back then, in the Battle of Tianshan, Gongsun He dared to detain the war horses of Li Ling's troops, but he did not detain even a deer cart from his army.

Why?

Just because he is the most trusted general of the Son of Heaven, the report can go straight to the general of the Haixi Waiting Division in front of the king without going through Lantai!

In this country, no institution dares to drag his supplies and supplies!

Therefore, Zhang Yue's reminder, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Of course, on the surface, he was still very modest, and he bowed slightly and replied: "The waiter reminds me that those who are in this province will definitely consider it!" ”

But in my heart I didn't care at all.

As long as they can fight and win battles in the Han Dynasty, the generals and princes can really do whatever they want!

At the beginning, when the general Changping was at the height of his waiting, there were five candidates, and even a newborn child who was still in swaddling clothes could be crowned a marquis!

When the Great Sima champion Jing Henghou was proud, the envoy sent by the Son of Heaven to the Lao Army could also kick it away, just because the beef brought by the other party to the Lao Army was not fresh enough, and the Great Sima felt that he was very embarrassed......

Even the matter of the storage position, he can make a final decision!

As a soldier, as the active position of the Han Empire and the highest-ranking commander of the army.

Li Guangli knew that he should pursue military merits, and he must also pursue military merits.

More victories, more decapitations, more power.

And he's not alone.

His subordinates, those soldiers who loyally followed him in the southern and northern wars, and those Hu people who did not abandon him and did not hesitate to die for him.

All of them need to rely on him to obtain resources and war authorization from Chang'an to maintain their lives, to glorify their lintels, and to expand their family lineage.

And these people are not one or two.

It's hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!

He has so many expectations on his shoulders and so many hopes on his shoulders.

He can't and can't stop because someone else says a word or two.

Li Guangli stopped the matter of the car driver, and did not want to argue with Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

Immediately, he changed the topic and bowed: "Your Highness's ministers are here to not only do the matter of the chariot master, but also the matter of the old Pi Lihou, General Fubo, the strong crossbow Duwei, and the Juyan Duwei Lu Gongbode, and I want to plead to His Highness and the servants!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the dozen or so generals behind him all stood up, and all of them petitioned Liu Jin and Zhang Yuegong, and bowed: "May Your Highness and the servants be benevolent and virtuous, and the way of Zhang Gongyi will be heard for the Duke of Lu!" ”

A young lieutenant even knelt on the ground with a silk book in his hand, and bowed: "Your Highness, the servant, this is the blood book of the soldiers and civilians of Juyan, I hope Your Highness and the servant will see it!" ”

He prostrated deeply on the ground, bowed his head and bowed: "Lu Gong is now over the age of the sixtieth century, his hair is pale, his mouth is falling, and his waist and back are bent!" ”

"Lu Gong has been in the army since the twenty-fifth year, and he has fought for tens of thousands of miles for the country and the Son of Heaven!"

"Before the age of forty, Lu Gong accompanied the Great Sima Hussar General to conquer the Huns, and was wounded in dozens of places, none of which were behind, shedding blood and tears for the country, and his clan had thirteen horse leather shrouds!"

"After the age of forty, he was the general of Fubo, went south to destroy the rebellion of Lu Jia, fixed Panyu, Jiaozhi, Zhuya, burned the boat in Zhan'er, and the Yue people still miss their virtues......"

"After the resignation law was lost, moved to the captain of Juyan, for the country for 20 years, buried in the wilderness, and the people of Juyan shared weal and woe, the road is blue, built in Yansai, the obstacle of covering, the merit is in the community, the descendants of Lize, the military and the people of Juyan are grateful for their kindness, and the number says: Lu Weng, for the elders of Juyan!"

"Today, the old man of the road, his wish is only to return to his hometown, bury his bones, and the three elders of the military and civilians in Juyan have repeatedly begged the Son of Heaven and the princes of the court to allow it, but because of the villain's slander, he can't ......"

Qu Zi said: Man Yumu looks at the stream, when will it be the opposite? The bird flies against his hometown, and the fox dies on the first hill. Believe that it is not my sin and abandon it, why do you forget it day and night? The lieutenant bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness and the servants speak up righteously, and plead their feelings in front of the Son of Heaven for the Duke of Lu, so that the loyal ministers can have a glorious return......"

What the captain said was very touching, which made Liu Jin a little unable to help but have hot eyes.

Zhang Yue almost wanted to agree.

But reason told him not to act rashly.

The matter of Lubode is very complicated, and there are not one or two characters involved.

It can even be said that the matter of Lu Bode does not involve one or two families or forces.

He involved the entire Han family, both old and new, and the aristocracy.

In history, why did Lu Bode die of old age in the end, and even buried his bones in Yanyan?

To be reasonable, he can go home whenever he wants.

Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the court, no one will stop him.

But the problem is that Lubod doesn't want to go back to his hometown in such a bad way.

What he wants is to go home in a beautiful way, and what he wants is fame and honor.

Rewarded by the country and the Son of Heaven, given a good reputation, and even given the title of Doctor Ziguanglu or Lang Zhongling and Zhonglang General like Wanshi Jun Shi Fen back then.

Otherwise, he would have no face and would not dare to return to his hometown like this.

It is a shame to return home without honor!

Not only that, but he may not be able to enjoy the treatment of entering the temple after death and enjoying blood and incense.

Perhaps, it is likely that he will have to cover his face with hair, and he will not even dare to erect a monument on the tomb.

Future generations may not even dare to say that they are 'after Lubode', and may even be unable to bear the pressure and have to change their surnames!

Therefore, Lu Bode can only die in Juyan!

Carry it until the Son of Heaven and the court change their minds, or he himself dies of old age in Juyan.

It's a big gamble!

If Lu Bode could not wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven before his death, the edict ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his work, and give him a praise reputation.

So......

Judging by the current trend of ram thought, he will 'fall into the abyss', unless one day the state can restore his reputation.

So, it's a big gamble.

On the table, there is all of Lubord, and the bet is that he is soft-hearted today.

But in fact, there was more than one Lubode at the table.

It also involved the Longyou Li family and the Longyou military nobles led by the Li family, who were once in the ascendant and will make a comeback in the future.

This may be a bit complicated, but let's summarize it briefly.

The players at the gambling table are now the military aristocracy of the Huo family represented by Lu Bode and the old aristocracy represented by the Li family of Longyou (in the history of the Han Dynasty, the rise of Huo Qubing led to the decline of the Li family and the Longyou nobles, and Li Kang of the Li family led to Huo Qu's illness and death in the desert, and in the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Lu Bode led to the defeat of Li Ling's army in Junji Mountain).

That's why I rushed to meddle in this matter.

It is tantamount to declaring war on the Longyou military aristocracy, especially the Li clan!

There is nothing more hateful than this behavior, and it makes the Li family angry even more!

The Li family, don't look at the fact that it is falling apart now because of Li Ling, it seems to be vulnerable!

However......

The energy that this family has is far beyond people's imagination.

Now in Bowang Garden, Li Ling's cousin is one of the prince's most trusted and favored ministers, and Li Yu's sister is even the prince's favorite concubine!

Not only that, the Li Group is not only Li Guang.

Don't forget!

There is also a branch called Li Cai, the prime minister of An Lehou.

Although Li Cai committed suicide in prison because of the invasion of the Zhengao Temple Cemetery in the fifth year of Yuanzhen.

However, the power of Li Cai's department is not smaller than that of Li Guang's department.

Moreover, Li Cai's department is mainly entrenched in the civil service system.

After all, this An Lehou has served as a captain of the Han Dynasty, a doctor of the imperial history, and a prime minister, and when Li Cai was an official, he had a good reputation, did a lot of things, and promoted many people.

Therefore, although Li Cai is dead, several of his sons and grandsons are now active in the political arena.

The Li Cai family and the Li Guang family together constitute the heritage of the Longyou Li family!

If you offend this family, even the three princes and nine kings may not be able to hold it!
