Chapter 181: The Battle of Wuwei (7)

"Your Majesty thinks twice, what kind of person is Li Wenyuan? He had occupied the Western Regions for only a few years, and he had been able to train a heroic army that would defeat the Western Turkic army. It is enough to see that this person's ambition will never be limited to the Western Regions, but at this time, he is under the belly of the enemy and has no time to look eastward, so he proposed to send troops together with our Qin State to fight against the combined forces of the Eastern Turks and the Liang State. This was really a delaying tactic that Li Wenyuan had no choice but to do.

If Your Majesty and Li Wenyuan jointly attack the Liang State, does this indicate that we are going to wage an all-out war against the Liang State? We are now caught between Li Yuan, Liang Shidu and Li Wenyuan, and it is already a situation where we are attacked on three sides. It's just that at the moment there is still a very delicate balance between the three enemies, so there is no fighting. But this balance is so fragile that even the slightest force can be upset. If we join forces with Li Wenyuan to attack Liang, even if Li Wenyuan can give us all the land that has captured Liang as mentioned in the covenant, then whether we can hold it is still between the two theories. And for no reason, he formed a grudge with Liang Guo, that is, Liang Shidu.

At the same time, due to the eastern Turkic border in the north, another enemy was added for no reason. Therefore, no matter from which direction you look at it, joining forces with Li Wenyuan to send troops together is a matter that outweighs the losses. Therefore, in terms of sending troops to rescue Wuwei County, Lao Chen did not agree. After hearing the news that Xue Ju proposed to send troops to attack with Li Wenyuan, an old civil official with white hair and beard stood up and retorted.

"Yes, Your Majesty. As Zhang Lao said, it is indeed an unwise choice to send troops to fight against the Eastern Turks and the coalition forces of the Liang State with Li Wenyuan on this trip, our country is now short of soldiers, not to mention that there are Li Yuan's troops in the southeast to watch; The army of Liang Shidu in the northeast had already attacked Li Wenyuan with the Eastern Turks at this time, and he had no time to look south. However, once we send troops to assist Li Wenyuan in defending Wuwei County, Li Yuan, who is not in the southeast direction, will send a large army to attack our rear. At that time, our rear will be empty, and once Li Yuan's army takes advantage of it, the consequences will be unimaginable. Another civil servant also came out of the class and stood next to the old man with a white beard and said.

"Fart! You rotten people who only know how to read some four books and five classics know how to fart. Do you know how many ordnance and materials in our Qin army's army are now provided by Li Wenyuan. Our craftsmen in the Qin State are very scarce, and then you rotten Confucians have to do something about the distinction between the three religions and the nine streams, and what kind of suppression of the peasants and industrialists. Do you know that now all the generals in our Qin State have gone to the territory of the Western Regions, and what can these craftsmen do to build weapons? What can you do with someone else without weapons? If you can't win the enemy on the battlefield, do you want to expect you rotten people to go to the front of the two armies to fight the enemy's million-strong army? Do you have the audacity? You will only curse the injustice of those in power here and there, and say that rash sending troops will cause the delicate balance around you to break. Do you know how many troops our Qin State would have been able to raise without the military support that Li Wenyuan provided to our Qin State every year? Not even a third of what it is now! What else to mention to dominate the Central Plains! Just as Xue Ju's face sank, a military general of the army that Xue Ju was pulling stood up and said.

"Hey, General Liu is a little impatient when he speaks, isn't it, Zhang Lao, they are just thinking about the national fortune of our Qin State, so they have what they just said. What they said is not wrong, our current Qin State is indeed surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation that affects the whole body. It's just that Zhang Lao and they are planning state affairs in the court all day long, and they have never had an in-depth understanding of military affairs, so it is inevitable that they will be a little biased when they speak at this time, and they will say some unrealistic remarks.

And Elder Zhang, you are also a respected elder in our Qin court, why is there such an obvious disclosure when thinking about things at this time? Although our Qin State has now reached a very delicate balance between the surrounding forces, from the perspective of the border direction, there is no doubt that Li Wenyuan in the Western Regions has the longest border with us. Moreover, His Majesty and Li Wenyuan also have some friendship, not to mention that there is still an agreement on an alliance between our two forces for the time being. So at this time, we can deploy more troops to the east, to defend Liang Shidu, to defend Li Yuan. Now, if even Li Wenyuan is offended, I am afraid that the existing army of our Qin State will not even be able to fill the defense line on the border.

Therefore, in my opinion, this Liang Shidu and Li Yuan have long been enemies of our Qin State, and they are not afraid of offending one more time at this moment. But Li Wenyuan had better not offend him, Liang Shidu was just a dog under the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan at this time, and nearly half of the army in his hands was Turkic. Moreover, the Turks have always been eyeing the interior of our Central Plains, and the two sides have long been feuding. Therefore, Liang Shidu has hatred with us. It is the hatred between the Eastern Turks and us, and Li Yuan in the southeast is supported by the Eastern Turks to get an army that is not favorable. However, Li Wenyuan now has the ability to defeat the Turks on the steppe, and the combat effectiveness of his army can be seen. If I have to offend one side of the forces at this time, I am still more inclined to befriend Li Wenyuan to fight against the Turks and his lackeys. At this time, a civilian official stood up next to him and acted as a peacemaker.

Seeing someone come out and thin mud, the military general snorted with a flick of his robe sleeves and stood back in his train. The old man with white hair who came out to speak at the beginning was also holding the literati's Qinggao at this time, and he also snorted heavily at this time, and also returned to his own train.

Xue Ju was listening to the discussions of the ministers in the court on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and the court was a little quiet at this time, so he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and said in a deep voice: "Have you all discussed it?" This trip sent troops to rescue Wuwei County. Who is in favor. Who is against? ”

When he heard Xue Ju say this, the old man with white hair was about to step forward, but he saw Xue Ju's gloomy gaze, and then was pulled by the civil official who was a peacemaker on the side, and the civil official whispered in the old man's ear: "Zhang Lao Mo is going to have another incident, but think about the second prince is still an official in Li Wenyuan." ”
