Chapter 507: Adou who can't be helped
"The Lile Conquest comes from the Son of Heaven! Should you fight Nantang, that's to listen to Your Majesty, I can't control it, Lord Lu, you didn't just overtake the third envoy, and you didn't even understand this rule, right? ”
Ye Hua's tone was very bad, this was the attitude that he had to have as the chief prince, who let Li Gu be regarded as his subordinate! Of course, Lu Duoxun was also able to successfully enter the ranks of Zaizhi because of Ye Hua's recommendation, but he was still close and different.
Fortunately, Lu Duoxun doesn't care too much about face, and he is a natural self-acquaintance, "Master Hou, military affairs, of course, Your Majesty is in charge, but as a courtier, you should also have some opinions, the little brother has just arrived, and he really can't come up with an idea, and he has to listen to Lord Hou's opinions, please!" ”
As he spoke, Lu Duosun threw his hands over and over again, like a flattering cat.
Ye Hua groaned slightly, "Lord Lu, can the treasury get money and grain?" ”
Lu Duosun lowered his voice, "It's not a secret, if you want to squeeze it, you can still squeeze out some, there are still two or three million yuan, it's really not good, can't you still issue bonds?" ”
Ye Hua smiled, "You won't forget how Li Gu lost his position, right?" ”
Could Ludosun not know!
"My lord, my little brother is just afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, so don't I ask you to give some advice! Please! He begged again and again, seeing that the time of the early dynasty was coming, Ye Hua took a deep breath, "The sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty have thousands of ships, are I sure that Da Zhou can win?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Duoxun immediately understood, or Hou Ye was clever and hit the nail on the head!
He knew in his heart, and then, many courtiers, both civil and military, all stood up, and their unanimous suggestion was to raise troops to go south, to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and teach Li Hongji a lesson.
Including several ministers, it is difficult to hide their optimism.
It is rare that Xue Juzheng, the privy envoy, took the initiative to stand up.
"Your Majesty, Li Hongji killed his father and usurped the throne, arrogant and arrogant, and actually handed over the letter of state, asking to be on an equal footing with Da Zhou, I don't know what to do! Now Wu Yue and other countries are being bullied, complaining, and looking forward to the heavenly soldiers like seedlings and Ganlin. As long as the king goes south, he will definitely eat the pot pulp and look at it. This is a God-given opportunity, and the old minister thinks that His Majesty must not hesitate. ”
Chai Rong smiled, "Xue Xianggong, who has always been old and respectful, advocates the use of soldiers, what about you, what do other people have to say?" ”
Fighting a war is nothing more than people and money, the Privy Council spoke, and below are the three divisions.
Lu Duosun took a sharp step, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is not a good opportunity to send troops. ”
"Why?" Chai Rong asked in a deep voice, as if his words were dissatisfied.
Lu Duosun was not afraid, "Your Majesty, a northern soldier, is good at cavalry and archery, and is clumsy in water warfare. The Southern Tang Navy Division is strong, if you don't have the certainty of crossing the river, it's better not to fight! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Juzheng smiled secretly, sure enough, the young man had no knowledge!
"Master Lu, you're too worried." Xue Juzheng said: "Although my Great Zhou Naval Division is not as good as the south, don't forget, there is also Wu Yue, they are familiar with water warfare, and there are many ships, which should not be underestimated." When the time comes, I will be a soldier of the Great Zhou, and I will just take Wu Yue's ship! ”
Lu Duoxun sneered and shook his head, "Xue Xianggong, the lower officials dare to ask for advice, if Wu Yue's sailors are really so powerful, why are they still defeated and retreated by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they are called vassals?" ”
"This ......" Xue Juzheng obviously didn't have Lu Duoxun to be able to argue, he could only reluctantly say: "Wu Yue's infantry is not as good as the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the water master is definitely worthy of a battle, Lord Lu is afraid of the Southern Tang Dynasty and does not dare to fight?" ”
"Joke!"
Lu Duosun sneered, "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible in a hundred battles is a matter of great importance, how can you be rash?" Pinning victory and defeat on Wu Yue's sailor is really incompatible! ”
The Privy Council and the three divisions are on the bar, one is in charge of money and the other is in charge of the army, and it is really difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Other officials also joined the debate one after another, and soon the Golden Palace was turned into a vegetable market, and there was a lot of commotion.
Chai Rong couldn't stand it anymore, he immediately ordered the dispersal of the dynasty and drove away some irrelevant people, leaving only a few prime ministers and important ministers, and if there were fewer people, it would be much easier to talk about it.
Wei Renpu, as the most proficient veteran minister in military affairs, took the lead in expressing his position on behalf of the political affairs hall.
"Your Majesty, in the past two years, the Yangtze River Sailor of the Southern Tang Dynasty has indeed become much stronger, and it is not appropriate to fight hard, the old minister thinks, can he take the land north of the Yangtze River first, so that he can not only weaken the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also divide the natural risks of the Yangtze River equally, wait for the actual maturity, and then go south in one fell swoop and level the south of the Yangtze River?"
In history, the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty came according to this line of thought, first Chai Rong conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, obtained all the land in the north of the Yangtze River, and then captured Jingchu, went south to Jinling along the Yangtze River, destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wu Yue returned to Shun and swept the south......
It's a feasible and safe strategy.
Chai Rong's heart was immediately moved, he pondered for a while, and suddenly found Ye Hua, who had not spoken.
"Ye Qing, you don't have any opinions?"
Ye Hua smiled bitterly twice, "Your Majesty, if you ask the minister's opinion, the minister thinks that we should accept Li Hongji's request and be commensurate with him, there is nothing wrong with it!" ”
"Shut up!"
Wang Purao is good with Ye Hua, but he can't accept it.
"The Central Plains is Zhengshuo, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is in a corner of peace, how can it be compared with the Great Zhou, and the proposal of the champion Hou is very inappropriate!"
Ye Hua said: "Wang Xianggong, don't worry, you can't agree out of thin air, right?" There had to be some quid pro quo. ”
Wang Pu frowned and said, "The stakes are high, what does the champion Hou want to exchange?" ”
"It's very simple, such as trade, such as exchanging currencies."
"Swap currencies?" Wang Pu exclaimed in surprise, "Master Hou, you're not talking nonsense, are you?" Who doesn't know, Li Hongji has made five big money, and if we exchange it with him, won't we suffer a big loss! ”
"Hahaha!" Ye Hua looked up to the sky and laughed, "Wang Xianggong is a sincere gentleman, and the court has suffered a loss, but we can make up for it from elsewhere." ”
Ye Hua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with Your Majesty's eloquence and strategy, and the courage of the soldiers of the forbidden army, it is not a problem to conquer the south." But since ancient times, the use of soldiers, pay attention to the soldiers who surrender without a fight, if you don't have to fight, you can disrupt Jiangnan, wouldn't it be better! ”
Chai Rong thought about it, not many people knew about Li Gu's counterfeit coins, and Chai Rong felt that it seemed that this matter was somewhat related...... And using economic means to disrupt the opponent's position, Ye Hua has not done this before.
When Yanyun was restored, wasn't that the trick used! Could it be that this kid is going to do it again?
Thinking of this, Chai Rong asked the others to retreat, leaving only Ye Hua and the two monarchs and ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Xue Juzheng, these people came out and looked at each other, all a little embarrassed.
are both important ministers, when they speak, the Son of Heaven doesn't care, Ye Hua speaks, he is more effective than anyone else, the same person, this gap is too big!
They shook their heads helplessly and walked out of the palace gate together.
At this moment, Qian Hongyi, the envoy of Wu Yuelai, came again, and the blood and water in his head condensed, and they all turned a terrifying dark black.
When he saw the three ministers, he knelt down, and before he spoke, he cried first, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made people moved.
"Wu Yue has always respected the Central Plains, paid tribute, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest! Wu Yue has never been sorry for Da Zhou! Now the Southern Tang Dynasty is rampant, frequently violating my borders, killing my people, and plundering my wealth! Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look, this is the top ten coins they issued in Wuyue! Look, look! ”
Wei Renpu stretched out his hand to take it, this coin is larger than the ordinary copper coin, but the material is clumsy, the craftsmanship is very poor, and it can be seen that there is a lot of lead mixed in the copper.
It's clear that it's a pit man!
Qian Hongyi wiped his tears and said aggrievedly: "I, the people of Wuyue, hate the Southern Tang Dynasty, and we don't share the sky, we have 30,000 sailors, and we are waiting for you." As long as Shangguo waives his army to the south, these 30,000 soldiers, as well as Wu Yue's two million people, will respond to the king and fight the thieves together! My brother Wang has already said that as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed, I, Wu Yue, am willing to submit to the Great Zhou and be willing to become a subordinate of the Great Zhou. ”
The three ministers took a breath and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
If Wu Yue is really willing to surrender, he can fight Jiangnan! Such a great opportunity, you can't miss it!
They exchanged glances with each other again, letting Qian Hongyi stand up, Wei Renpu smiled and said: "Wu Yue's sincerity, I saw it in Da Zhou, you better go back to the pavilion to rest first and wait for the news!" ”
Qian Hongyi nodded, "Thank you to a few ministers for their help, and I am grateful to the whole country!" ”
Sending Qian Hongyi away, Xue Juzheng couldn't help but say: "I see this time, Ye Hua is gone!" Wu Yue has a sailor and sincerity, even if he can't fight a battle, he can discount the backbone of the Southern Tang Dynasty and clear the obstacles for dominating the world! ”
Wei Renpu bowed his head, but shrugged helplessly, "The old man also sees it this way, but the Son of Heaven believes in Ye Hua, and I can't help it!" ”
Xue Juzheng gritted his teeth, "The old man is the prime minister, and the military campaign is my business!" You two wait, I'll go to the palace, ask to see Your Majesty, and show your Majesty!" ”
Wei Renpu was taken aback, and said in his heart How did this product come with such great determination, could it be that he received Wu Yue's gift? Lao Wei kept silent, and Wang Pu was quite kind, "Xue Xianggong, do you need me to accompany you?" ”
"No need, I'll take care of it!"
After speaking, Xue Juzheng took a big stride and went directly to the palace, handing over a sign to ask to see.
At this moment, Ye Hua was still talking to Chai Rong about how to deal with Li Hongji, Xue Juzheng could only wait for the time being, and for almost half an hour, Xue Juzheng was impatient.
Suddenly, a little eunuch came out from inside and asked Xue Xianggong to go in.
And at this moment, a little eunuch took the secret music of the embroidered messenger and sent it in.
"It's Jiangnan's military intelligence, hurry up and send it to the saint!"
Xue Juzheng's heart thumped, and he didn't know what was going on...... Chai Rong got the secret music, tore open the seal, took a quick look, and then threw it to Ye Hua.
"Ye Qing, as you expected, Wu Yue is a dou who can't be helped!"
Ye Hua looked at it, and happened to see Xue Juzheng, "Xue Xianggong, you also see, there is a group of water thieves who seized Jinghai, killed 3,000 Wu Yue sailors, and captured more than 200 ships!" Is such a rice bucket also worth cooperating? ”
