171 On paper

……

The Praetorian Guard's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the guards were slammed on the dragon chair, and the hundreds of military officials in the hall also showed shocked expressions.

Gao Yang is surrounded by thieves again? How long has it been? In less than two years, that Duan Hong besieged Gaoyang again? How could the situation evolve so quickly?

"Bring me the battle report!"

Wei Zhi yelled angrily at the Praetorian Guard soldiers at the gate of the main hall, he only felt that he hadn't looked at the yellow calendar today, and he would be so unlucky, and he finally thought of how to deal with the annoying affairs of the Far East, but now he jumped out of the big event of the drastic changes in the source of the river! Looking at the previous Far Eastern Victory, and then looking at this Heyuan Urgent Report, it is simply the most vivid and vivid comparison.

Compared with the situation in the Far East, the situation in Heyuan and Jingtai provinces is more urgent, after all, Liu Ce did not oppose, although he acted arrogantly and domineeringly, but on the whole, he was still conscientious, even if Jiang Yan died, Wei Zhi actually knew in his heart that this eighty percent was blamed by someone, after all, what good did killing Jiang Yan do to Liu Ce? I can't say anything about it......

But the matter of the thieves is indeed imminent, not something that can be handled at will, and can only be suppressed by the army, if Gao Yang is captured by the thieves again, or planted in the hands of the Thunder Army, the involvement is unimaginable, so that the world can not even calm down the royal family of the thieves, it will let the interested scholars take the opportunity to make trouble, further weaken the influence of the Wei family's royal family, and even more terrible changes will occur, which is the most unwilling and fearful of Wei Zhi to see.

After Jinsheng presented the battle report to Wei Zhi and read it, Wei Zhen's face was suddenly stunned and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

A few lines were written on the battle report: The flag regiment directly under the Thunder Army encountered an ambush of thieves on the way to suppress, and more than half of the casualties were killed, and the three main flag regiments were killed in command, and the remaining soldiers and horses retreated to Gaoyang and urgently begged the capital to send troops to rescue.

"General Zhenshuo......" Wei Zhi subconsciously thought of Li Suwen, but as soon as the words came out, he found that the Li family father and son had already gone to Yongzhou to prevent the attack of the Xia army in Liangzhou.

When he was young, Wei Zhi asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, Gao Yang is trapped, and the commander of Wei urgently needs the imperial court to allocate troops and horses to help, I don't know who is willing to lead the army to rescue Gao Yang?" ”

There was no one in the hall, obviously not confident in the matter of rushing to help Gao Yang, even if those generals lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly when they met Wei Zhen's gaze.

"Speak! All dumb? Aren't they usually quite able to speak? Could it be that no one in my great Zhou Dynasty dares to solve my urgent needs? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Zhi only felt a sullen breath in his chest, and couldn't help but roar at the hall and vent out.

After a long time, Captain Zuo Ximan stood up and said to Wei Zhen: "Your Majesty, the source of the river is more than 1,600 miles away from the divine capital, if you send a large army to help, it will take forty or fifty days at the fastest according to our army's itinerary.

It is extremely difficult to dispatch troops alone, grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and it is not something that can be raised in a short time, so it will take almost another month, and Wei Chen is afraid that it will ...... then."

Speaking of this, he paused, raised his eyes to look at Wei Zhen, who had a gloomy face, and finally mustered up the courage to propose: "Weichen is bold, please put up with the emperor for the time being, negotiate with Duan Wei, and give my Da Zhou enough time to raise soldiers, horses, food, and grass......

Wei Zhi was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say? Let me negotiate with the thief leader? Xi Man, do you know what you're talking about? ”

As soon as Wei Zhen's words fell, the hall suddenly seemed to be fried, and Qi Qi began to accuse the banquet.

Xie Yang pointed at Xi Man and said angrily: "Captain Zuo, you actually want my Great Zhou court to go to peace talks with the thieves?" Are you trying to put the royal family on the line? ”

Geng Bingqiu also immediately echoed sharply: "Xi Man, do you know what you are talking about? How could such a rebellious remark be said by a courtier? If you show weakness to the thieves today, and in the future, the people with different intentions will follow suit, what should we do? Do you want to make peace with them one by one? In this way, where is the face of my Great Zhou court? What are your intentions? ”

Almost all the people in the hall blamed the banquet full, and the poor banquet was full of words, so he could only lower his head and silently endure the insults and ridicule of the hundreds of officials around him......

"Alas, my Great Zhou has already shown signs of the death of the country, and I will send troops? Just rely on those newly elected 200,000 palace front divisions who have never been on the battlefield? Or the 50,000 forbidden army that has rotted? are all vulnerable goods,

Mobilize troops outside Gyeonggi? And who will guard against the unscrupulous army of scholars? What's more, the amount of silver money and grain needed for the army to go out on the expedition is an astronomical amount, and on the bright side, the treasury is 800 million silver a year, such as 600 million in the treasury, in fact, forty percent is already the top of the sky!

Last year, there was a catastrophe in the northern part of the Central Plains, the income per mu of land was less than 50% of that of previous years, hunger was everywhere, grain prices remained high, and it was not easy to requisition grain. How to march and fight a war when the army is not fed enough? I'm afraid that before the source of the river arrives, it has already caused a mutiny! How about compromising for a while?

Peace talks are a shame and a loss of face? Jokes, isn't it a shame to talk to Meng Luo and Xia Guo? I even talked to the wild people such as beggar and Quqiang, how many women were given gold silk in exchange for border peace? Even the princess of the royal family was sent over! Isn't that a shame to be conspicuous?

You guys, who are vegetarians, know how to talk and point out the country all day long, but you don't realize the predicament that my Da Zhou is currently facing, hateful! This is hateful! ”

Xi Man kept sighing in his heart, and he was extremely distressed by the scene in front of him.

"Xi Aiqing!" After a long time, Wei Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Remembering that your Xi family is loyal to my Great Zhou, this time I will spare you for the time being for the time being, and you are not allowed to mention peace talks with thieves in the future!" ”

"Wechen thanked the emperor for ......"

Xi Man retreated into the official column with a lonely face, and when Xie Yang and his party saw this, they each showed a victorious look.

After Wei Zhi glanced at Xi Man, he asked the hundred officials again: "Ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to lead the troops to Heyuan to relieve the siege of Gaoyang?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the hundred officials who wanted to be inseparable from the thieves before made an appearance of an old monk again, and in an instant, the Taiji Hall was quiet again, as if everything that had nothing to do with him before.

Just when Wei Zhi was disappointed and wanted to get angry, Xie Yang came out and said to Wei Zhen: "Your Majesty, if you recommend one person, you will definitely be able to solve the siege of Gaoyang!" ”

Wei Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Aiqing is coming quickly, who can dare to take on this important task?" ”

Xie Yang said: "Back to the emperor, the third son of the Shi family, Shi Zongjie has been full of military books since he was a child, and he has been instructed by famous teachers, and he is well versed in the way of using soldiers, and he will definitely be able to lead the army to relieve the siege of Gaoyang!" ”

"Shi Zongjie?"

Wei Zhi frowned and pondered when he heard this, and secretly said Isn't it the third son of the Shi family who is a childhood sweetheart with Xue Ruyuan? He would even lead troops into battle? This is to underestimate him.

Seeing Wei Zhen's suspicious expression, Xie Yang continued: "Back to the emperor, Shi Gongzi is now being appointed as a candidate in Gyeonggi and temporarily living in the post house. ”

"Hmm......"

Wei Zhi thought about it, and could only nod his head, now the rest of the generals in various places cannot leave their posts, in case of military chaos in the province, if this Shi Zongjie can really make generals, he can be entrusted with important tasks.

"Passing the decree, Feng Shi Zongjie is a rebellious general, leading the rank of major general, immediately enter the palace to face the saint, and soon lead the four flag regiments and 80,000 palace front division troops to synthesize a division flag, cooperate with the auxiliary troops from all over the way, and gather 200,000 to go north to relieve the siege of Gaoyang! The matter of grain and grass will be coordinated and resolved by the local governments...... "Wei Zhi still decided to let Shi Zongjie try.

"Your Majesty! Never! When Yao Zhong heard Wei Zhen's decision, he immediately jumped out to stop it, "Then Shi Zongjie has never led soldiers to the battlefield, how can he be qualified for this important position!" ”

"Lord Yao, what do you want to do if you have disobeyed the holy will again and again?" Xie Yang glared at Yao Zhong angrily, his eyes full of hatred.

Yao Zhong ignored Xie Yang, but knelt on the top of the hall and kowtowed to Wei Zhi a few times, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Shi Zongjie can only talk about soldiers on paper, and he has no experience in using soldiers, so he is absolutely unbearable for this heavy task, please take back your life and choose another good general!" ”

Without waiting for Wei Zhi to speak, Xie Yang immediately said angrily: "Yao Zhong! Although Shi Zongjie has no experience in leading troops, but Suzhou Governor Shi Wenjing is his father, Governor Shi has been fighting with Yingnu all the year round, and has his own method of leading troops. ”

Wei Zhi nodded, very satisfied with Xie Yang's words, and also thought that some thieves, although there were many of them, they were just a rabble after all, and the army of the palace should be able to return triumphantly.

"Yao Aiqing, you step aside, I know that you are loyal to my Da Zhou, but this matter has been decided, and I don't want to say more."

Seeing that Wei Zhi said very firmly, Yao Zhong knew that he couldn't change his attitude, so he could only sigh, but he still said unwillingly: "Since the emperor said so, it is not good for Weichen to say anything more, however, Weichen proposes to send another famous general to cooperate with Shi Gongzi to ensure that nothing goes wrong......"

Wei Zhen's eyes were light: "Oh? Who? ”

Yao Zhong's eyes were firm, and he said word by word: "Former military governor, Liu Ce!" ”
