Chapter 177: The Turks are finally in chaos

In just a few days, Luo Yan sorted out his duties, and in the past few days, the information of Youyan has been constantly sent to him, making him unprecedentedly busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Considering the military affairs of the Northlands, plus the exploration of the Turks and Goguryeo, this is a lot of news. Although Luo Yan still has several assistants under his hands, he is still busy all day long. When he got up several times in the morning, Ah Quan asked nervously, "Lang Jun, are you stunned?" In the past few days, I have always fallen asleep at night and shouted to me the news of Yingzhou, and brought me the map of Yunzhou. ”

Luo Yan was a little embarrassed to say this, it seemed that he was really too serious. I guess I didn't think I used to read like this.

This morning, Luo Yan was at the Governor's Mansion, and had just returned to his own territory to drink saliva, ready to continue to bury his head in the mountain-like newspaper. Suddenly, a guard from the Governor's Mansion came over and asked Luo Yan to hurry up and discuss important matters.

Since the Weishui Alliance, the north has been at most a small-scale raid. This kind of thing is that the local government has ample ability and right to resist it. And this kind of situation, that is, after the war, just count the losses of the border people, summarize their casualties and merits, and then report to the Governor's Office. Such a small thing, Luo Yan has received many copies in the past few days.

During the autumn harvest, these Turkic tribes like to run over to take advantage of it. Some tribes rely on the convenience of their own horses, often harass, grab several bags of grain and leave, the general Zhichong Prefecture army really has no way to take these people.

But the one who can put the matter to the Governor's Mansion for discussion is definitely not small.

Ordering several of his subordinates to continue to do the work at hand, Luo Yan followed the guards to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion. At this moment, there were actually several generals from the Zhichong Mansion, and Wang Junkuo was talking with Li Xuandao to accompany them. When he saw Luo Yan coming in, he said hello and asked Luo Yan to sit down, but he hadn't started the topic yet. Obviously, we have to wait for more people to come.

After waiting for about half an hour, many generals from the Zhichong Mansion came one after another. Seeing that everyone who should have come came, Wang Junkuo cleared his throat, and the main hall was instantly quiet. "Turkic, civil strife." As soon as these words came out, the generals of Zhichong Prefecture, such as Yingzhou, Dingzhou, and Pingzhou, who were relatively close to the inland, instantly looked surprised.

However, there were several people in the audience who were very calm. The generals of Daizhou, Yunzhou and other places who had known the news for a long time, plus Wang Junkuo and Li Xuandao, sat quietly.

But apart from them, Luo Yan is also one. Although he does not know the exact time of the Turkic civil strife, as early as the banks of the Weishui River, Luo Yan knew that the Turks would have such a situation sooner or later.

Zhao Deyan is a person, but he is just a second-rate literati in the Central Plains. I couldn't get along in the Central Plains, so I voted for the Turks. It's just a matter of taking refuge in the past, and Bisheng has put the etiquette of the Central Plains into the Turkic tent. This is a chronic poison for the Turks who practice the tribal system.

In addition, some political systems in the mainland, placed in the Central Plains, have a systematic cultural background, and naturally they are as beautiful as he has seen before. But when it comes to the prairie, this set will not work. The Central Plains is a system of taxation and the like, but when it comes to the grassland, it is simply harsh. Zhao Deyan has been in the past few years, and to be honest, Luo Yan admires the endurance of those herdsmen on the grassland, and they can hold back for so long before civil strife.

After the surprise, there was an uproar.

The Turkic civil strife was just right to raise the army of the Northland and put it down in one fell swoop. For these generals on the border, it is a very tempting thing. In these years of fighting with the Turks, on the whole, there are fewer victories and more defeats, and none of the generals of these Zhichong Mansions have a fire in their hearts.

"Governor, then, is it now to ask Your Majesty for war, unite the armies of Bingzhou and other places, and take the Turks in one fell swoop."

"Yes, I'm waiting for a rare opportunity like this."

"As a confidant like the Turks, I suggest that the governor immediately ask for battle, and the last general will go back to gather troops and wait for the dispatch."

War exploits, revenge, and relief, these factors combine to make none of the generals in the main hall not excited.

Seeing that the generals were so excited, Wang Junkuo said happily: "We are waiting to guard the border land, so naturally we can't always be disturbed by the Turkic barbarians. Li Changshi, it's up to you to make this battle. In this way, the opinions of the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion will no longer be sought, and the letter will be submitted directly to Chang'an.

Although Li Xuandao had never dealt with Wang Junkuo, basically all the generals of Zhichong Mansion present at this time agreed to go to war, so he could only nod and signal that he would do it.

Considering the treasury of the Tang Dynasty in the next few years, Luo Yan stood up under the strange gazes of many generals, bowed to Wang Junkuo and said, "In my opinion, it is better for the governor to act cautiously." ”

Luo Yan's words were like pouring cold water into hot oil, and many people couldn't help but glare at him angrily. It was Wang Junkuo, who also looked at Luo Yan with some displeasure at this time. However, because of Luo Yan's identity, he could only say unhappily: "If Luo Sima has any opinions, you might as well say it for everyone to hear." ”

At this moment, Luo Yan looked indifferent, straightened up and said: "It's that the generals are eager to fight, and they want to come here to send it to the court, and in the end, they still have to pour cold water on you." ”

Seeing that many people looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, Luo Yan explained: "In the Weishui Alliance, the treasury is quite empty. There was a famine among the first few officials, and many places opened warehouses to release grain, but the grain was a little insufficient. Although it is now autumn harvest time, this year's harvest is not as good as in previous years. It is not easy to fill half of the granaries in various places. ”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Luo Yan continued: "In this way, if the imperial court wants to supply the army to finish this battle, I am afraid that it can only hope that everything will be fine next year." Luo Yan's words made many people start to ponder. The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. If it is really the same as Luo Yan, then this battle will definitely not be fought.

However, Wang Junkuo patted the table and said, "Whether you can fight or not, it's not those scholars who have the final say, but Your Majesty." Whether you want to fight or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, but I'll wait for the final say. Li Changshi, this is sparse, and it still has to be written. I'll just wait and see, with such convenience, the court will not agree to our sending troops. ”

Seeing that Wang Junkuo was not so easy to say, Luo Yan could only say: "Even if the Governor disagrees with Zaixia's opinion, I will still report to Your Majesty the opinions I have drawn through the situation in various parts of Youzhou, and I ask the Governor for forgiveness." ”

Seeing that Luo Yan still insisted on his own opinion, Wang Junkuo no longer paid attention to it, and said to the generals of the Zhichong Mansion: "After you go back, you will be strong and wait for good news." Well, so be it. After speaking, when he stood up and walked, he glared at Luo Yan fiercely.

In fact, Wang Junkuo's mind Luo Yan also understands, military generals, if you don't fight, where does this feat come from? And Wang Junkuo has always felt that he is no worse than generals like Wei Chi Jingde, and he has always been a general under others in large-scale wars, how can this make him comfortable.

Although since Li Jin's incident, Wang Junkuo has been in power in Youzhou for a while, and there is another Li Xuandao. Not only did he not deal with himself, but he also defeated his dominance over the army in the Youyan region. This made him even more unhappy. If you take advantage of this war and get enough credit, then you can also be promoted to other positions, which is far better than this Youzhou.

But another Luo Yan appeared, how could this make him happy.

And some of the generals who walked out of the main hall also had such a mentality, and looked at Luo Yan with some unkindness. But all this, Luo Yan could only smile in his heart.

Chen Luoyan said that he was recently shocked to hear that the Turks had forgotten their ancestors in the Zhao Dictionary, and the Turks were ruled by the Central Plains rituals. The people of our Central Plains have been suffering for a long time, and if they can kill each other and lose their vitality, then the blessing of the border army guards. Moreover, the Turkic tribes are now too busy to take care of themselves, and the border people can get a few days of convenience for the autumn harvest, which is very good.

The generals of the Zhichong Prefecture in the Youhe Prefecture, and even the people in the court, all took advantage of the Turkic situation in one fell swoop when they were in the midst of civil strife. Therefore, they have been tired of articles, competing for war, and stealing it as a big fallacy.

Turkic rebellion, but Nejir. Brothers are outside the wall to resist their insults, the words of the saint are not easy to reason, and the barbarians also know it. Our army is gathered on the side, and the Turkic army is in peace. rushed to kill, but the short-handed soldiers were close to each other, and how many sons buried their bones in the grassland.

The famine in Guanzhong has emptied the treasury, and this autumn is not a fruitful year. As soon as the army came out, it wasted money and food, and it could not be fully achieved within three months, although it had to break hundreds of thousands of enemies, it was also defeated. And what will happen next year is unpredictable. The government also needs to have resources on hand to deal with disasters in order to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, those who invite war are more meritorious, and those who are worried about war are more for their benefit. The country is governed first, and then there is martial arts. The conquest of the Turks is not at that time. I implore Your Majesty to take the common people as the most important thing and bear the burden of humiliation. Chen Luoyan bowed. ”

After writing the song, waiting for Li Xuandao to write the document for the war, and sending it out of Youzhou quickly, Luo Yan sent his song out leisurely.

Li Shimin's subordinates naturally have his independent channels for probing news, and he must have known about it when everyone in Youzhou knew about the Turkic civil strife. At this time, the court must have been very noisy, needless to say, Wei Chigong and Cheng Zhijie couldn't be idle. What's more, there are many generals who want to go further in their titles.

Luo Yan knew that he had said these words, and many old and serious courtiers had also said them. However, he just expressed his attitude, sometimes the intelligence and attitude from the front line are quite important, if Wang Junkuo and their eagerness to fight impressed Li Shimin, the consequences will be a little serious.

Luo Yan thought at this time that his performance would be used as a weight to balance the external attitude of the court. Regardless of how useful it can be, at the critical moment, some people should understand that there are people in the border army who do not agree to send troops. (To be continued.) )
