"Rubbish!" In the Xuanzheng Palace, although Wu Cao's voice was not high, it contained anger and penetrated the eaves of the palace. The emperor was angry, and the attendants in the palace were also worried, burying their heads deeply, fearing that they would suffer.

The rebellion in Yingzhou was very fierce, except for the anger at the beginning, when she calmed down, the empress didn't care too much. Her main focus was on negotiating with the Tibetans. Compared with the hungry wolf of Khitan, it is still the tiger of Tubo that deserves more attention.

On Qinling's appetite was very great, not only for the Great Zhou to dismiss the soldiers of the four towns of Anxi, but also for the Great Zhou to ensure the "neutral" status of the four towns and the ten Turkic lands between the two countries.

Wu Cao naturally did not allow it, the four towns of Anxi, the Central Plains were lost and recovered for only four years, and there was no deterrence of soldiers, and Tubo in the Western Regions was afraid that it would be even more unscrupulous. The withdrawal of the army is really a self-defeating martial arts, giving up the power to the enemy, how can the empress agree.

Negotiations, temporarily deadlocked.

On the counterinsurgency of the Khitan, although Wu Cao was also concerned, he was very relieved. In her opinion, as soon as the imperial court soldiers arrived, Li and Wan would be wiped out, and she had sent twenty-eight generals to ......

Then, after waiting for three months, the news of the defeat came, and for a while, the empress was still a little incredulous. After a moment of astonishment, anger arose spontaneously and could not be stopped.

"An army of 30,000 was defeated in a battle, the main general was captured, and the officers and soldiers fled, how can this be justified! Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi are vain called generals, and the crude tricks of the Khitan people can't see through them, and they actually fall into their traps, hateful, hateful! There was a cold glint in his eyes, and Wu Cao was angry.

"Zhang and Cao, they still have the face to come back!"

Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi were captured by Li Quanzhong, and after retreating to Yingzhou, they were released by Li Quanzhong.

"I sent all the generals, I wanted them to work together, calm the border troubles, and pacify the eastern ......" said and slammed the military newspaper in his hand on the imperial case: "Delay and do not advance, suspicion of the left and right, and arrogance of the enemy...... These are the generals of my Great Zhou, it's really chilling! ”

Wu Cao's words almost knocked over a boatload of people and a rod, and sure enough, all the generals, including Li Duozuo, were angry.

Di Renjie, Wu Sansi, Yao Xuan, Su Wei and other cabinet ministers were all there, listening to the emperor's anger.

Wu San Sigong restrained his body, facing the angry emperor, and did not dare to speak for the time being. There was both fear and a sense of happiness in his heart, he was very active in asking Ying to go on the expedition, wanting to brush up on a wave of seniority and prestige, and by the way, get involved in the army. However, now it seems that the rebellion in Yingzhou was not as calm as imagined......

Several old ministers glanced at each other a few times, and Di Ren was still prominent, and calmly comforted Wu Cao: "Your Majesty, please take a break from the wrath of thunder, the matter has come to this, how to deal with the defeat is the most important matter!" ”

The empress really treated Di Renjie differently, and after listening to his words, her emotions slowly calmed down. looked at Di Renjie, the calmness on his fat face always gives people a sense of reassurance.

"Twenty-eight generals, what a twenty-eight jokes!" With a low voice, she continued to reprimand, and after a little muttering, the empress added: "Or Yuan Hui and Yang Xuanji did not disappoint me......

Don't forget to praise Yuan Langjun, after all, he turned the tide and saved the army from annihilation. A big defeat, the second general of Yuan Hui, is the only bright spot in the Great Zhou army. And there are also results, no matter how the enemy is killed or injured, a Khitan "general" is captured.

Seeing that the empress's anger has been controlled, the ministers in the palace are slightly relaxed, and the emperor is full of power, which is not good after all.

"Elder Guo, in your opinion, how should the imperial court deal with this defeat?" Looking at Di Renjie, Wu Cao asked.

Di Fatpang obviously had a draft in his heart, and without thinking about it, he arched his hand and said slowly: "Your Majesty, once Huangzhang Valley is defeated, the rebellion of the Khitan cannot be eliminated suddenly. It is now late autumn, and the weather is getting colder, making it difficult to fight. Moreover, the autumn harvest and winter planting are imminent, and the soldiers and servants miss their families, and the delay is not conducive to the war, nor is it conducive to civilian production. Nowadays, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are stationed in Lulong, and it is inconvenient to transport ordnance and baggage, and it is even more difficult if it is winter. ”

"Mo Ruo temporarily withdrew his troops, and the border state passes were mainly fortified, recuperating and restoring morale. In the spring of the next year, take advantage of the weakness of the Khitan after boiling the ice and snow, and then march to the army, and with great momentum, wipe out Li and Sun ...... in one fell swoop."

Di Renjie's words are very sincere, and they belong to the words of the old man seeking the country. Hearing this, Wu Cao thought thoughtfully, and seemed to have listened to it, but he still couldn't help muttering: "It's going to take so long?" ”

Waving his hand to stop Di Renjie, who was still about to say something, Wu Cao said with a cold expression: "In this case, the counterinsurgency matter has to be adjusted." Especially in terms of employment......"

The empress is dissatisfied with the war, and listening to what it means, she is about to wield a big stick. Several ministers basically understood the emperor's meaning, but no one dared to express their opinions rashly.

Di Fatpang's mind moved slightly, the emperor had a lot of problems with the arrangement before, and he had to adjust, at least he had to clarify the boss. However, with the emperor's mentality, how to adjust, the old fox did not dare to have expectations in his heart.

Sure enough, the empress had no intention of letting her ministers express her opinions, and when she was angry before, she was afraid that she had already considered it in her mind. directly opened his mouth and decreed: "Zhang Xuanyu and Cao Renshi lost their teachers and died, the crime is unforgivable, the car is returned to the gods and imprisoned, and the three divisions discuss the crime; Yan Bandit Stone and Ma Ren Festival did not observe the enemy's situation, lost soldiers and generals, and were abolished as concubines; Li Duozuo and Zong Huaichang will be recalled, demoted and retained! Well, transfer Guo Yuanzhen back to Beijing and ask him to send an envoy to Tubo to continue talks with the Qinling! ”

Wu Cao's decision made several people in the hall slightly shocked, and even Wu Sansi was very shocked. The empress, this is a complete overthrow of the previous use of troops, and she is not even given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Your Majesty, in this way, how should the Youyan situation be cleaned up?" Nayan Yao Xuan asked in an old voice, in fact, it was a reminder.

Without thinking, the empress expressed her plan: "Move Lou Shide to be the governor of Youzhou, and oversee the defense of the five states of Youzhou, Fu, Tan, Ji, and Ping." Yuan Hui was promoted to the governor of Yingzhou, the former army commander, and the general of Jiayunlu, who led the army to conquer the Khitan and granted the right to act cheaply; Yang Xuanji conferred Rao Le, Song Mo Xuan Envoy, added General Guide, and temporarily suppressed Ji and Ping! Pingzhou assassin Shi Qiu Jing, meritorious service in defending the land, and Shi ......, the governor of Youzhou Metropolitan Governor"

"Feng Ge plans to edict, Luantai approves it, and it will be issued as soon as possible!" There is no objection, Wu Cao waved his hand.

Di Renjie and Yao Xuan looked at each other, pressed the thoughts in their hearts, and bowed their heads to respond.

"Your Majesty, General Yuan Hui captured the Khitan general Li Kaigu, and asked for his life, how to deal with it?" Seeing that the empress had the intention of driving people away, Di Renjie leaned over again to ask for instructions.

Wu Cao didn't seem to care about the life and death of a small person, and was about to send it away casually, when he saw Wu Sansi jumping out excitedly: "Your Majesty, the thief will dare to rebel, kill the officials and soldiers, and return them to the Shendu, Ming Zhengcanon, pass the head of the border pass, and shake the Beidi ......"

Hearing this, the empress frowned, thought about it for a while, and turned her head to pay attention to Di Fatpang's calm expression: "What is your opinion?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Yuan Hui, Li Kaigu has a clear distinction between love and hate, is brave and good at fighting, has the talent of a strong general, and is obedient to the Great Zhou, and is coerced by rebellion. It suggested that if Mo forgave his capital crime and surrendered, he used it to counterattack the Khitan, which could not only get a brave thanksgiving effect, but also use it as an example to divide the people who read the king in the center of the Khitan tribe. The minister thinks that Yuan Hui's proposal can be considered, and he only hopes that His Majesty will make a holy judgment! ”

Blinking his eyes a few times, Wu Cao only thought about it for a while, and responded: "But! Since it is recommended by Yuan Hui, it will be temporarily under his control! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Under the compliment, it was Wu Sansi's embarrassed expression.

Glancing at Di Chubby's eyes, His Royal Highness King Liang's eyes flickered a few times, and he thought in his heart, that Yuan Hui was young and rose too fast. He still remembered that Yuan Langjun didn't know the current affairs, and he didn't like it even more in his heart.
