Chapter 200: Wisdom in Urgency

Comfortably returned home and asked Liu Siyi to help him change into an official robe embroidered with lion and mending clothes, and then went to the Qingcheng Palace in a small sedan chair.

Along the way, he was still thinking about Liu Biao, how did he know that when he went to the place, the King of Shu, Sun Dezhang, and Liao Ying were all already in the first seat, Chongzheng was sitting behind the handsome case, and it seemed that he was waiting for him alone.

An Yi looked at this posture and knew that eighty percent was going to talk about sending troops, but he secretly said bitterly in his heart, and the blank fold was still on the bookcase in the house.

Chongzheng saw An Yi coming in, and stretched out his hand towards the willow chair in front of Liao Ying, "Sit down, I heard that there is some friction between the soldiers and horses in Xi'an and the Shu garrison in the city, but General An is too late because of this?" ”

An Yi's butt had just touched the chair, and when he heard this, he quickly stood up and explained to Chongzheng: "What Your Majesty said is exact, but it's not any friction, Lanzhou General Liu Biao and a young general in our army had some quarrels, young and vigorous and both are in the army, blood and qi are inevitable, and the subordinates have already asked the two of them to think calmly." ”

"Okay, that's good, Liu Biao admires you very much, but you are young and inexperienced, don't be soft when you should punish and deal with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An Yi responded in a harmonious voice, he really didn't see that Liu Biao had the slightest admiration for himself, although the old emperor said so, he didn't take it seriously in his heart, this time it was time for him to dispose of it, and when the wind blew on Concubine Hui's pillow, the old emperor should change his hexagram again.

Chongzheng saw that everyone had arrived, and only then did he speak to Sun Dezhang, the governor of the capital: "I said last time about sending troops to attack Liao, everyone should have a plan in their hearts, the old governor is the head of the military attaché, let's start with you." ”

"Yes!"

Sun Dezhang stood up, arched his hand towards Chongzheng, and said eloquently: "The old minister thinks that the current military strength of our army, if we take the initiative to find the main force of the Liao people for a decisive battle, it is not impossible to win, but in the early stage, we need to spend a large number of personnel to scatter to the northwest to explore the movements of the Liao army, and we must attack it quickly and unprepared, in order to achieve the effect of a decisive battle." However, it may take several months to arrange and probe the sentinel cavalry in the early stage, otherwise if you rush to attack, it is easy to be attacked by the highly mobile Liao army. ”

An Yi heard what Sun Dezhang meant, that is, he told Chongzheng that he was not in favor of taking the initiative, but if you had to let me take the initiative to fight, I couldn't help it, but the prerequisite was that it would take a long time to prepare to locate the main force of the Liao army in the vast northwest.

But this metropolitan governor is also a lion opened his mouth and directly said to Chongzheng that it would take a few months, but also made An Yi feel very happy, and said in his heart that if Chongzheng can really agree, it will be a good thing, and it will be spring in the past few months, even if the Xia army wants to fight when the weather warms up, the Liao army still doesn't want to fight, so many strong laborers are pressed on the northwest battlefield, and the Liao people will go to the autumn and the northwest wind?

So An Yi's heart was also a little settled, although Chongzheng threw down a strict order, but it did not change the original intention of the old governor, the meaning is the same as him, just two words: don't fight!

Of course, Chongzheng also understood what Sun Dezhang meant, and suddenly asked with some displeasure on his face: "Two months is also months, and a year is also months, if the old governor can't find the main force of the Liao army for a year, don't I have to wait for you for a year?" If the old governor is looking for someone who has been in the past three years and five years, I am afraid that I will go to see the ancestors and the ancestors with the charge of a faint monarch who has lost the country? In this way, don't count the months, I'll give you a deadline, a month and a half! Find the main force of the Liao army and fight a decisive battle! Regain Lintao Province. ”

An Yi was shocked when he heard this, I am afraid that the sentry cavalry will not even be able to run half of the northwest in this month and a half, how can I determine the location of the Liao army camp? Even if the blind cat touched this dead mouse and found the main force of the Liao army, did the Xia army sentry and the Liao army? I'm afraid that before you leave the city, the Liao people have already moved places.

Sun Dezhang hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained with a panicked face: "Your Majesty! The Liao army is mostly cavalry, even if we find out where their camp is, we must carefully form an encirclement, if we are not careful, we will lose everything, and even have the danger of annihilation, and a month and a half in between is not enough! ”

Chongzheng waved his hand impatiently, and put on a look that I don't care how you think for yourself,

"Don't complain to me, Lanzhou City is now gathering 300,000 troops of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the daily cost of fighting money alone has already made the court and the central government talk about it, I don't say anything else, just the impeachment of your Metropolitan Governor by the Imperial History has been placed higher than the table, but I have been pressing. If we don't end the war in the northwest as soon as possible, there will be chaos after a long delay, and I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to draw even a single soldier at that time. ”

At this time, Sun Dezhang was also speechless, and it seemed that Chongzheng said that he should fight quickly, but he was familiar with military affairs, just talking about quick war, what capital did not a 180,000 cavalry have to fight with the Liao people quickly?

An Yi is also clear about this point, within a month and a half to complete the positioning of the Liao army camp and the main force, and then quietly carry out a surprise attack to kill with one blow, this kind of opportunity is not nothing, but the risk paid is simply like dancing on the edge of the cliff, once the surprise attack fails, all the bloodshed and sacrifice paid before are equivalent to being in vain.

Chongzheng saw that Sun Dezhang didn't gnaw anymore, so he planned to confirm it, seeing that Xu Liang, who was standing beside him, took all the red pens filled with ink knowingly, and was busy thinking about it in his mind for a while, and then stood up with a "ho",

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have something to say."

Chongzheng had already taken the red pen in Xu Liang's hand, and after hearing An Yi's voice, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said in a deep voice as if he had spoken first: "If General An wants to persuade me not to send troops, then don't say it." ”

"The emperor misunderstood, when he discussed the enemy's strategy with the old governor and the prince, he had already decided on this matter, just now I saw that the old governor was anxious, and eighty percent of them forgot, if this matter is successful, it will be able to gain something today and tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Chongzheng put the red pen that was already in his hand back on the nephrite pen holder, and the displeasure on his face just now seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Tell me about it."

Without waiting for An Yi to answer, Sun Dezhang and the King of Shu were already full of doubts, if it weren't for the presence of the saint, the two of them would definitely pull the sleeves of An Yi's clothes and ask him what kind of wine he was talking about, and pulled the two of them together.

Sun Dezhang heard the bitter water in his stomach, he didn't know how to deal with it for a month and a half given by Chongzheng, and he couldn't do it at ease, so he came directly to today and tomorrow, and there was only one day left today, what did he gain in one day? It's good luck to be able to capture a Liao people's sentry horse.

However, An Yi still replied calmly: "Your Majesty, because this matter is very confidential, there are many people here and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, if the emperor wants to know in detail, you can retreat and let your subordinates talk to you in detail." However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the time of victory is today and tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to block the mouth of the court, and after we have won this battle, we will send out sentry cavalry to find the Liao army camp, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Good!"

Chongzheng slapped his palm on the handsome case, the joy on his face was overflowing, and his heart was finally said that someone was on his heart.

"Good! I don't have to ask, you discuss with the Metropolitan Governor and the Imperial Brother, I am only here to wait for your victory, okay! Good! Hahaha, good! ”

Even the big eunuch Xu Liang beside him had never seen the old emperor so happy except for seeing Chongzheng and Concubine Hui together, he glanced at An Yi without a trace, and then silently put back the red pen on the pen stand.

After this matter was finalized, Chongzheng, who was already in a mood, casually cared about a few words about the affairs in the city, and then told An Yi a few words about Liu Biao, and then signaled everyone to disperse.

As expected, after the four of them retired from the Qingcheng Palace, as soon as they turned out of the corner of the blue brick wall, the King of Shu and Sun Dezhang grabbed his sleeves.

"What did Lord An mean in the court just now? When have you discussed with your old man what strategies for dealing with the enemy today and tomorrow? In one day, where can I go to win a big battle? ”

The King of Shu still knows An Yi better, but although he knows that he is not a big talker, he doesn't know where the victory in his mouth comes from, so he followed Sun Dezhang and asked him: "Now it's just the four of us, if you have any strategy to retreat from the enemy, just say it, so that we can know in our hearts." ”

An Yi looked at the three of them, the King of Shu, he was relieved, and the old governor Sun Dezhang was fine, but he didn't know if Liao Ying was reliable, after all, when this kind of sensitivity, he didn't have much contact with Liao Ying, and he just boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, but he didn't dare to believe it easily,

But after all, Liao Ying is also the commander of one party, and he can't directly let others avoid it, so he made a bit of a mysterious move: "Oh, the prince, the two old-timers, don't you know who An Yi is?" I'm not going to joke with my head, there are some things that are really inconvenient to talk about right now, so let's wait for my good news for the time being! ”

After speaking, he arched his hand towards the three of them and left,

"Hey...... You're ........."

The King of Shu also grabbed Sun Dezhang, who was about to step forward to ask, smiled and said with relief: "Okay, the Governor, let him do it, An Yi is not a frivolous and impetuous person, he must know it in his heart, since he has made a promise in front of the emperor, we just have to wait." ”

Sun Dezhang said in his heart that the old prince was full of confidence in his son-in-law, but he still shouted at the back of An Yi with some worry: "If you need the help of the old man, come to me at any time!" ”

An Yi nodded at him from a distance, then turned and flipped onto his steed, disappearing from the sight of the three of them...........
