Chapter 1070: War, or Warning?
When all parties in the world got the news one after another, and they were all making different reactions because of the news that the emperor was trapped, a bunch of people also gathered in the Youzhou General's Mansion at this moment.
Chen Zhi summoned all the subordinates and subordinates he could muster.
"Liu Fujun has already left, but when he left, he was still very worried, and repeatedly told his subordinates, hoping to persuade the general to send troops." Chen Zi, the leader, reported the situation in the general's mansion, and Liu Kun came in a hurry before, hoping to explain Chen Zhi and send troops south.
"Okay," Chen Zhi nodded and glanced at the people present, "Liu Fujun has fought with the Huns many times, and his suggestions are very valuable for reference, but I still want to hear what you mean." ”
"General," Zhang Kang came out of the ranks, he was born in the northern region, and the two brothers had a good status in the court, and they were originally the generals of the Gongcao to join the army, and now they are the county commanders of Jixian County, "It is useful to send troops to the south, but it is aimed at the stone thief, this person is besieging Luoyang, making the country in danger, as long as I send troops in Youzhou, it is enough for him to return to the army and relieve the crisis, but it will not help to save the emperor." ”
As soon as he spoke, he immediately attracted the attention of others.
The position of Jixian County Commander seems to be unimportant, and it is the same position as that Zhangwu County Order, but in fact the meaning is completely different, the reason is very simple - Jixian County is the heart of Youzhou, and it is also the station of the General's Mansion and Youzhou Thorn Mansion.
There is no trust, there is not enough authority, and the county order of this Ji County is not stable.
Zhang Kang's ability to get this position proves his ability and family background, and after sitting firmly, he has further expanded his influence, and his views are of course more valued by others.
It's just that after tasting it, some people feel that something is wrong, which sounds like they care about the court and the emperor, but in fact they are dissuading the general from sending troops.
Many people muttered silently, this county commander is ruthless enough, and there are still many officials of the Zhang family in Luoyang, but he Zhang Kang did not let the general save him.
Only some people who can see it clearly, know that even if Shi Le breaks the city, the danger of the family is actually not great, after all, over the years, it can also be seen that Shi Le is slowly changing, and the attitude of the leader of the Qian people towards the family is gradually softening, if he breaks through Luoyang, the real danger is those who are in power of the clan and royal family.
After hearing Zhang Kang express what he meant, Chen Zhi looked at Chen Zi.
"Since it is the Xiongnu that threatens the emperor's safety, the Huns should be let know that it is powerful!" Chen Zi replied very simply, he knew very well that others had some scruples and didn't dare to say more, because he couldn't figure out Chen Zhi's thoughts, whether he wanted to send troops or continue to hibernate, and if he accidentally said the wrong thing, he might have to lower his evaluation in Chen Zhi's heart and lose the opportunity to follow up further.
Chen Zi didn't have these troubles, he knew Chen Zhi's feelings for the emperor very well, so he dared to take the initiative to come forward at this time.
"The general should send an envoy to the Huns, warning them to stop the current dangerous moves, and if they don't want to, then meet each other!"
"No!"
As soon as Chen Zi's words fell, a person jumped out.
Everyone looked for the sound and saw that it was the general who had come forward.
"At present, Youzhou still needs to continue to develop, and the various measures are just on the right track, and it is the time to show the grand plan.
Speaking of this, Tang Zi arched his hand and made a summary: "At the moment, it is still necessary to keep Taoguang and obscure, and at most send an envoy to condemn it, it is enough, it is not good to really stimulate the Huns." ”
The crowd listened to this statement, but they were not surprised.
Tang Zi's views profoundly reflect the limitations of his small landlord class - compared with Lu Zhi, the top representative of the Youzhou family, Tang Zi represents the interests of the middle and lower class scholars, especially the Daijun scholars.
As one of the earliest counties operated by Chen Zhi, Daijun has always been at the forefront of the reform of the New Deal, which can be regarded as a demonstration place, which has allowed the Daijun family to obtain the greatest benefits, and has gradually transformed them into staunch supporters of the New Deal.
But on the other hand, if a war breaks out, Daijun's workshop business may not decline, and the more critical issue lies in the geographical location of Daijun, as a county closest to the Xiongnu Kingdom, once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, even if there is no fighting, just the rumors will seriously affect the comings and goings of merchants.
As a relatively developed area of commerce and trade in Youzhou, Dai County is located at the junction of the four potentials, and has business contacts with the Tuoba Department, the Xiongnu State, the Qipin Yicong, and even the farther Northern Xiongnu Rouran, etc., coupled with Youzhou's strong local workshops and agriculture, which have become a strong driving force for the development of Dai County's commerce.
With such a good future, of course Tang Zi does not want to be broken like this.
Hearing Tang Zi's words and noticing the expressions of many officials, Chen Zi, who was at the forefront of the crowd, remembered what Chen Zhi mentioned a few days ago that there are some people in Youzhou who no longer want to fight, let alone fight, and are confused by the temporary prosperity and do not see the changes in the growth and decline of external forces.
On the other side, after Tang Zi finished speaking, someone came out again, this time it was a representative of the military forces, named Wei Mian.
"When the sword is revealed, the sword should be revealed!" After Wei Mian came out of the ranks, he directly expressed his attitude, "Our soldiers will practice day and night, that is, to fight for the general, but there is an order, go all out!" The surrounding Xiaoxiao all thought that I was afraid of war in Youzhou, and it was time for them to know that it was powerful, and to use the method of thunder to deter the demons! ”
The more he said this, the more agitated he became, showing a strong hegemonic tendency, which was very in line with the identity of the soldiers, plus this person was Yang Yuan's cronies, who had made a lot of contributions in the past, and was still a distant branch of the Daijun Wei family, in a sense, behind him stood Yang Yuan, Wei Xiong and other military generals, which were two of the several major mountains of the military, and could be said to represent the overall opinion of the Youzhou soldiers.
When he said this, it carried a lot of weight.
This is not the end, after Wei Mian retreated, Sun Xiu came out again.
"The subordinates think that it is necessary to warn and beat the Huns!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, many people's expressions changed slightly, and Lu Zhi in the crowd frowned, he knew that this old opponent was going to speak on behalf of the Hanmen scholars, and for the Hanmen, the war was an opportunity for promotion, and the result could be imagined.
Sure enough, I heard Sun Xiu continue: "If the Huns don't comply, they should be defeated, otherwise the surrounding Hu people will think that there is no one in the Central Plains, and they will be even more unscrupulous from now on, and this kind of situation must be eradicated from the root!" ”
Everyone immediately discussed, and several officials from poor families nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhi sighed and stood up and said, "General, a warning is a warning, but Youzhou has strong financial resources, has many vassals, and its influence is second to none in the northern land, so there is really no need to use force in everything." If the Xiongnu don't allow it, they can use the means of cutting off mutual trade to force them to comply! As far as his subordinates know, the tax revenue of the Xiongnu puppet state is not stable, but it relies on mutual trade with us to maintain the salaries of the two armies in the north. ”
