Li Chun said angrily when he heard this: "Liu Bi rebelled, I will ask for it, and there is no need to discuss this matter again." Today, I only ask Zhu Qing, what does the imperial court need to pacify Xichuan? ”

The situation has advanced so suddenly, everyone has readjusted their thinking in their hearts, and the Yanying Hall was cold for a while, and the people who were waiting on the side hurriedly asked people to serve tea and fruit to ease the tense atmosphere.

After a short rest, everyone's thinking adjusted.

Yuan Zi was the first to speak: "The minister once served as the envoy of Shannan West Road, from Shannan to Sichuan, the mountains are surrounded by water, the roads are dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to pacify Xichuan, if you don't have an army of 100,000, you can't do it, and if you want to protect a soldier with three dingfu, if the 100,000 army goes out, you will have no less than 300,000 dingfu to transport supplies, and the people will eat and feed the horses, plus the consumption on the way, this alone will cost no less than 20,000 yuan per day. If the law of peace is implemented, it will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in grain prices in the capital and Guanzhong, damaging the poor people, shaking the foundation of the imperial court, and there is no guarantee of follow-up grain. If it is transferred from Jianghuai and other places, water and drought go hand in hand, thousands of miles away, and it must be ready in autumn and October as soon as possible, and the army will not be sent out for more than a month is a cold winter, and the land of Shu is wet and cold, not as good as Guanzhong, and the sergeants are not accustomed to the water and soil, and are prone to disease, and demoralize them. ”

Li Chun said lightly: "I said that today I only talk about how to fight. ”

Faced with the emperor's reminder, Yuan Zi paused slightly, and continued to speak: "The minister thinks that the pacification of Xichuan is by no means an overnight achievement, it is better to prepare slowly, and wait for the first month of next year to send troops, or it can be finished before the autumn is cool." ”

Li Chun nodded and snorted.

Du Huangshang said: "Liu Pi doesn't know the military, and he has no moral prestige, but he is just a crazy scholar, how can he send 100,000 troops, in the old man's opinion, he only needs to order Shannan and Dongchuan to send troops at the same time, and then the imperial court will send a strong army, about 5,000 people, you can level Xichuan and capture Liu Pi." ”

During the Tianbao period, the Xichuan garrison was about 40,000, and then increased year by year, to the end of the Zhenyuan Dynasty there were 50,000 people, Liu Pi both had the intention to rebel, and the private collection of warriors, hired Tu tribesmen soldiers, known as supporting 100,000 soldiers, squeezing out the water, Xichuan now has a total strength of no less than 70,000, Dongchuan and Shannan Xidao two towns can be used to quell the chaos of the army total less than 20,000, the imperial court sent 5,000 troops, but 25,000.

Liu Pi is free to wait for labor and has natural dangers to rely on, the army of the imperial court is twisted into one, coordination is a big problem, internal friction is inevitable, plus it is an expedition of labor, across thousands of mountains and rivers, in a place where people are not familiar with life, how many chances can they win?

Everyone was a little unimpressed by Du Huangsheng's words, and he was too domineering, and some people actually booed slightly.

Li Chun's brows furrowed, Du Huangsheng advocated sending troops to fight against Liu Pi, he agreed, but this person was too rough as the prime minister, 25,000 to 70,000 was already a disadvantage, not to mention that it was an expedition of labor, and it was an away battle, which was really a bit of a child's play on military affairs.

Li Mao frowned when he saw Li Chun, and everyone else also saw it, and the situation had changed subtly.

Du Huangshang noticed this change, the situation was a little bad for him, he was a little anxious, he frequently glanced at Li Mao, and asked Li Mao to stand up and speak, but Li Mao pretended to be deaf and dumb and looked away.

Jia Tan's opinion is between Du Huangshang and Yuan Zi, he is both a staunch main battle faction and a staunch moderate faction, advocating planning and then acting, and not fighting unprepared battles.

Seeing that things were a little stiff, he hurriedly said: "The matter is very important, please Rong Chen and others will consider it carefully." There are several urgent matters to be adjudicated. ”

Li Chun hummed, and suddenly vomited Chengguang and shouted in a thin voice: "Scatter the dynasty." ”

The monarch and the prime minister discussed, and other officials had to avoid it, so Li Mao and others resigned, and Li Mao did not walk away after he came out. Yang Zhilian Zhishi, suddenly Tu Chengguang wanted to seek the lieutenant of the left army, but in vain, retreated to the second, and instead sought the position of the left privy envoy.

Now he does his best to help him speak, and Li Mao can speak in front of the Son of Heaven, so he is naturally on his list.

Tutu Chenghuang agreed to come down and asked the little eunuch to lead Li Mao to look at the flowers.

The Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister decided on a few urgent matters, and then ended the recital, today is Guo Guifei's birthday, Li Chun promised to go to her palace to drink and feast after the dispersal of the court. Guo Guifei Yu Li Chun is not just a wife, she represents a prominent family that has made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and combing her well is equivalent to combing the family, which is beneficial to consolidating the imperial power.

Seeing Li Chun come out, Tutu Chenghuang hurriedly beckoned to Li Mao, Li Chun saw Li Mao at a glance, and without waiting for Tutu Chenghuang to speak, he said: "Excuse me, talk about something while walking." ”

Li Chun refused to take the chariot and went to the harem on foot, after sitting for a long time, walking in this way can make the body slightly warm, relax the muscles and activate the nerves, and not lose vitality, which is very good for the body, which is the secret of the royal family.

Li Chun's feet are very fast, Li Mao's nature is not slow, and the two of them walk like the wind, which makes it difficult for Tutu Chengxuan and others to follow. If the emperor took the imperial chariot, although they would inevitably have to walk, but the imperial chariot walked slowly, so they did not have to be in such a hurry.

The rules in the forbidden palace are big, in addition to the messenger who walks quickly, the general eunuchs and palace maids have great rules when walking, they must move quickly in small steps, bend their legs and do not bend, or they are not sick, calm and natural, so that they can get out of the royal grace and grace, and run wildly, which is cheap, is a hard life, and damages the royal dignity.

Everyone walked out of breath, sweating hotly, the distance from Yorah was getting bigger, and Li Chun and Li Mao couldn't hear a word of what they said.

"One is radical, one is conservative, one is steady, what do you think of them?"

Li Chun naturally asked about the imperial court's policy towards Xichuan, and the three prime ministers had three completely different attitudes, which made it difficult for Li Chun to make a decision for a while. This kind of thing is not the turn of an official of Li Mao's level to discuss, but he can't hide it when the Son of Heaven asks.

"The matter of Xichuan will be resolved quickly, and the chaos will be cut through quickly."

"Tell me your reasoning."

In order to subdue the generals and sit firmly, Liu Pi took a risk, wanting to establish great feats and establish his prestige. He's now riding a tiger. ”

"It's hard for him to ride a tiger, and I also have a lot of hardships, and your reason is not sufficient."

Liu Pi's foothold in Xichuan is not stable, and he is showing his teeth and claws externally, but he is anxious internally. Yuan Xianggong said that the imperial court was not fully prepared, and it would take until the first month of next year to send troops, but Liu Pi's preparation was even less sufficient. If it is delayed, he will stabilize the rear, and with the dangerous terrain in Shuzhong, he will undoubtedly have to pay a greater price if he wants to level Xichuan. ”

"You say he's not on his feet, he's not well prepared. When I first ascended to the throne, my foundation was not stable, and I was even less prepared to send troops than he was. ”

Li Chunneng said such things to his face, which was undoubtedly his great trust in Li Mao.

Li Mao said: "Everyone is already the Son of Heaven, the name has been determined early, the people have returned to their hearts, the two kings have been swept away, the lieutenants of the two armies have been replaced, and now the Uighur Khan has been newly established, and he is busy stabilizing the backyard and has no time to make trouble on the border." Tubo raised taxes in the Western Regions, dozens of cities in the Western Regions killed tax collectors and rebelled, and Tubo sent Hexi and Longyou garrisons to the west to quell the rebellion. Internally, Xiazhou Fangding, Jingxi and Heshuo Domain Towns were frightened, who dared to do anything wrong, and the imperial court had no worries. Why do you say that the foundation is unstable? ”

Li Chun shouted: "Money! Money! Money! You have led troops, fought battles, soldiers and horses have not moved, you don't understand the truth that grain and grass go first, Xichuan garrison is 70,000, I have to send 100,000 troops to overcome, 100,000 soldiers, 300,000 dingfu, where does my money and food come from? ”

Li Mao said: "If you send 100,000 troops, it will be difficult to raise money and food, but Pingxichuan doesn't need so many soldiers." ”

Li Chun snorted and said, "You won't also say that the imperial court can recover Chengdu by sending 5,000 troops." ”

Li Mao said: "Five thousand is a little less, but it will never use 100,000 people, Liu Pi is not willing to fight, once the imperial court sends troops to fight, no one under his command will use force." However, it is a little perfunctory, or scattered as birds and beasts, or as a wall watch. ”

Li Chundao: "Where does your judgment come from? ”

Li Mao said: "At the beginning of the year, King Nankang was ill, and the ministers sent people into Sichuan to spy on the movements. ”

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, and snorted softly, Li Mao's knowledge may not be higher than that of several prime ministers, but his ears and eyes are far above several prime ministers, and this kind of judgment based on real intelligence is not necessarily superior but more accurate than the judgment made by the three prime ministers based on common sense.

After being silent for a while, Li Chun said again: "Guanzhong Forbidden Army, which army can be able to pull out as soon as the order is given, is your right Weiyuan army moving, and is the left god planning it?" ”

Li Mao said: "You can order Yan Li, the Jiedu of Shannan Xidao, and Li Kang of the Dongchuan Jiedu to send troops into Xichuan first, disrupt Liu Pi's steps, and buy time for the imperial court to send troops." Gao Chongwen's military department immediately went south after sending Changwucheng, and Gao Chongwen trained his troops very well, and his armament was unremitting, often as if he was in a state of war. ”

Li Chundao: "Gao Chong's Ministry of Culture is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not enough for Liu Pi to go to Xichuan." ”

Li Mao said: "If you suspect that the number of troops is small, you can select 5,000 elite 5,000 elite troops from the 17,000 Hedong troops who crossed the river, and go south for several days. ”

Li Chun exclaimed: "The Hedong Army has not returned to the town so far? What to do in Hexi? ”

Li Mao said: "Your Majesty left Li Guangyan's brothers to play in Beijing, but they were not summoned for a long time, and the two did not dare to leave without an edict, the general is in the court, how can the sergeant return to the town by himself?" ”

Li Chun suddenly stopped, his face turned from red to white, a breath of anger was held in his heart, he couldn't get out, he couldn't swallow it, before Li Mao said that Gao Chong's Ministry of Culture was constantly prepared, and it was often like a state of war, which had already surprised him, and no one had ever told him such a thing.

Now I suddenly learned that the two generals of Hedong, Li Guangjin and Li Guangyan, have been stranded in Chang'an until now, resulting in nearly 20,000 Hedong troops not returning to their own town. How ridiculous is that?

Li Mao was also taken aback when he saw Li Chun's anger, afraid that he would have an accident, as long as he called for Tutu Chengxuan, Li Chun relieved himself, he waved his hand and said to Li Mao: "The privy envoy Liu Guangqi has made many mistakes recently, and he is old, and he is indeed trivial, so I still let him go out to supervise the army." Sudden vomit and glory...... Although this guy is a little confused, he is still diligent in the end. ”

Looking at the panting suddenly, Li Chun added: "And he doesn't dare to be perfunctory." ”

Suddenly Tu Chengxuan's face was covered with sweat, and when he saw Li Chun and Li Mao stop and look at him again, he didn't know the blessings and misfortunes, he didn't feel empty in his heart, his heart was empty, his feet were also empty, and he almost broke his foot.

Li Chun shook his head and sighed: "How did the young body collapse." ”

Li Mao hurriedly said: "He is busy with affairs, he has no time to exercise, and he is too fat, Your Majesty can send a decree to let him lose ten pounds in a month, and if he can't lose weight, this privy envoy should not do it for him." ”

Li Chun coughed, and warned Li Mao: "You have a lot of words today, discuss in private, I don't blame you, if you talk about it in the court regardless of the occasion......"

Li Mao said: "The minister doesn't dare. ”

Li Chun snorted: "Forgive me and don't dare." ”
