"In front of Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to hide it." Ashina Yang replied: "Weichen agrees with Wang Duhu's judgment, and the civil strife in the big food is a good opportunity for me to consolidate the river!" Since the great food invaded the river in the east, Beiting and Anxi were limited to a long distance, and the counterattack against the big food was not sharp. However, the Tuqi Shi people were two-faced and stabbed, and gradually had the intention of colluding with the big food, wanting to expelle the Han family children from the land in the river. Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Guo is small and weak, and he is powerless to resist the encroachment of the big food, and he is also more involved in the big food deficiency and the snake. Weichen heard that Wang Jiangning once had a poem 'Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass'. The Son of Heaven is above, and the saying that the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass can be described as a big fallacy. But the voice of my Tang Dynasty is mighty, and it has indeed been a long time since I went to the middle of the river! Weichen implores His Majesty to send troops to Shiguo, reorganize the middle of the river, and deter the great cannibals! ”

"Why Shiguo?" The saint frowned slightly, and his words were straight to the point.

Old. Xi Lie's heart moved slightly, although the saint has become more and more tired of national politics recently, but he has ruled the world for 30 years, and the precision and viciousness of his vision have not diminished from the past. Ashina Yang said a long paragraph, the core is actually only four words, that is, "send troops to Shiguo"!

"Your Majesty, the reason why the minister begged to send troops to Shiguo is that there are three dependencies. First, Shi Guo is my subject country, but it has not followed the etiquette of the vassal for a long time. As far as the minister knows, Shi Guo did not enter the court to pay tribute last year or the year before that; At the time of the expedition to Tuqishi, Shi Guo colluded with Da Shi to try to disadvantage the Beiting army. The Tang Dynasty is famous. ”

Ashina Yang opened his mouth to take the matter of etiquette as the name of the teacher, so that Chen. Xilie couldn't help but admire. "Zuo Biography" has a cloud "The major events of the country are in the worship and Rong", the worshippers, their righteousness is in the ceremony; The righteousness of the Rong is to maintain the order of the ceremony.

Ashina Yang talked about worship and Rong in one sentence, which shows that sufficient preparations have been made. Old. Xilie couldn't help but wonder what kind of elixir was hidden in the gourd of the descendants of the Turkic royal family, who had always been low-key and gentle.

"Second, Shi's domestic and external troubles are continuous, and if you attack it, you will overcome it. There is a dispute between the two kings, and the minister remembers that when Tianbao entered Beijing for the last time to pay tribute, his deputy king Qule Tutun and the main king Naju Chebi Stler sent envoys respectively. And the deputy king's family has always been close to my Datang, but the main king's Juche nose Shi has a deep collusion with Dashi. During the Kaiyuan period, the vice king was powerful, and the Shiguo pilgrimage was very respectful. According to the information collected by Beiting, in recent years, Na Ju Che Shi has been in the prime of life, increasingly overwhelming the elderly vice Wang Qu Le, and his authority has become more and more powerful. Therefore, there is a rude behavior of Shiguo who has not come to the Hajj for many years. If His Majesty is determined to crusade against the Shi Kingdom, he can hang the people for the crime, capture the Na Che Nose Shi, support the Qu Le lineage, recast the vassal relationship between the Shi Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and use this as the cornerstone to gather the heart of Zhaowu and strengthen the authority of the Tang Dynasty in the river. The external trouble of the stone country lies in its feud Bahanna country. The two countries have many disputes over the grassland in the middle section of the medicine and killing water, and the swords and soldiers are continuous. I conquer the country of stones, and I can borrow the soldiers of Bakhana. Its soldiers and horses are familiar with the geography and scenery of the stone country, if they are pioneers, I can get twice the result with half the effort. "Chen. Xilie looked at Ashina Yang who was talking eloquently, and secretly felt broken.

"Third, Shi Guowei is the head of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, but he has been ordered by the Great Food for a long time. During the Beiting Soldiers' and Horses' Expedition to Turk, Captain Ma of Anxi Gaodu came to Broken Leaf City to deliver a letter, saying that he had found a stone ** team quietly bypassing the country of Bakhana and operating at the western foot of Qianquan Snow Mountain. After the war, after the scouts of the royal capital protector faction, it was learned that Shi Guo's move was to follow the orders of Abbasid, the leader of the Great Food rebels, in a vain attempt to meet the turquoise troops to break through. The country of Zhaowu nine surnames, emphasizing profit over righteousness, and seeing many disciples of the wind envoy. After the decline of the Tuqi Shi, the eclipse is strong, the soldiers have crossed the Wuhu River, approaching the medicine to kill the water, Shi Guoming respects the strong Tang Dynasty, and Yin Feng has eaten the big food for a long time. Shi Guo is the head of the horse with the surname of nine, and many countries are only submissive. Now the stone country has a different heart, and the land in the river is not only foreign to Bahanna, but also has a light Tang heart. Although the expedition to the Tuqi Shi has begun to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, the Suye River Valley is still far away from the countries of Shi, Kang, and Mi, and there are still many unrepentant people in the countries. Only when the soldiers come to the city of Shiguo can they shake the land of Zhaowu. And the country of Shi is not far from Khorasan, the foundation of the Great Food rebels, if the Zhaowu countries are completely used by me, then the Great Food and the black-clothed rebels will be like a man's back, and things will be difficult to take care of. Such a large food country may be extended, which is more conducive to my management of the land in the river. "Chen. As he listened, he glanced at the saint and found that the saint was sitting on the throne, listening very carefully, frowning and thinking from time to time.

"Ashinaqing, what if the black-clothed rebels fight within and invade the east with all their might? Will it cause a tremor in the river? The sage questioned.

Old. Xi Lie was thoughtful, and the saint's sharp thinking made him feel that the air in the hall was about to condense. While the sage's coercion was all poured into Ashinayang, Chen. Xilie quickly glanced at the people in the hall, but saw that Li Linfu was indifferent, Gao Lishi was standing still, and the crown prince Li Heng's eyebrows were condensed.

"Your Majesty, if the black-clothed rebels dare to march eastward, the North Court will be ready to kill the enemy to the west of the Wuhu River! Don't let the enemy touch the land in my river! Ashina replied angrily.

Old. Xilie shook his head expressionlessly, puzzled in his heart. This Ashina Yang seems to be a very clear person, and the previous music is very organized, how could he suddenly say such a confused thing.

Ashina Yang was born noble and has been an official for many years, don't you know the four words "promise not lightly"? There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and if you send troops to the Stone Kingdom, the limit is 15,000; plus the attached troops of Qarluq, Shatuo, and Hujas, but with an additional 20,000 scattered horsemen; If you can lure them back, you may be able to increase the number of cavalry by 20,000 or 30,000. After a full battle, Beiting was fully mobilized and poured out, but the number of soldiers who could fight was only about 60,000. This is also the largest force that the logistics of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate can support.

The Great Food has been operating in the land of Khorasan for nearly a hundred years, with many soldiers and generals, and many vassals in the Tocharian region. Old. Xilie vaguely remembered that there was a secret report from the Ministry of War that Da Shi was near Khorasan and could easily mobilize 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Even if the Tang Dynasty is well-armed, but there is such a huge disparity between the enemy and us, the generals must be cautious, how can they easily promise in front of the saints!

"Ashinaqing's courage is commendable." The saint said lightly, but his gaze was still burning into Ashina Yang's calm eyes, and he never looked away.

Old. Xilie heard a very clear disappointment in the saint's tone. But what surprised him was that Ashina Yang was still as quiet as deep water, Li Linfu was also an old monk, and Gao Lishi was immovable, only the prince was in the clouds.

Old. Xilie understood in an instant, Ashinayang's seemingly confused words had a deep meaning! The problem is that he doesn't know what his intentions are, and the prince obviously doesn't know what is behind it.

Colliers, on the other hand, may have discovered the clues in advance and understood the mysteries, so he was able to calm down.

Then, Li Linfu must know better, and even he is the manipulator of all this.

"Your Majesty! The minister has a little shallow opinion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not? Li Linfu stood up and bowed deeply in front of the saint.

"Brother Nu, as the right minister, you can make suggestions on military affairs, and there is nothing you can't talk about." The saint's mood had not yet fully recovered, and his tone towards Li Linfu was not as friendly as before.

"Your Majesty! Since His Majesty ascended the throne and ruled the world, the rule of culture has been vigorous, the martial arts have been great, the barbarians have bowed their heads, and the four seas have been peaceful. Anxi, Beiting soldiers and horses, inheriting the majesty of His Majesty, won a hundred battles, and went on an expedition to Xiaobolu and Dapo Tuqi Shi in the land of Moxi, and did not taste defeat. Therefore, the morale of Anxi and Beiting is high, and they are willing to destroy the enemy army for His Majesty. Li Linfu first put on a high hat for the saint to relieve the pressure on Ashinayang.

Old. Xilie has already sunk his heart and carefully pondered Li Linfu's "words and words". Old. Xilie found that Li Linfu's sentences were "Anxi and Beiting" at the same time, and suddenly his heart moved, and he roughly understood Li Linfu's intentions.

"Brother Nu, don't talk about these false things, what I want to know is what if the Great Food Rebels invade the east with all their might? With the soldiers and horses of Beiting alone, can the river be unharmed? Although the saint's tone was still stern, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are invincible and invincible, and it is no obstacle to rely on the North Court to conquer the Shi Kingdom alone. But the minister also knows that the Great Food is a 10,000-by-10,000 large country in the far west, with a territory of thousands of miles and millions of soldiers and horses, which cannot be underestimated. For the sake of all things, can the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate join forces to conquer the Stone Kingdom? Li Linfu said slowly.

Old. Xilie smiled in his heart, knowing that the drama was coming. Glancing up, the prince's face also showed an expression of sudden realization.

Gao Xianzhi, the protector of Anxi and the envoy of the Four Towns Festival, was just picked up by Li Linfu, and he was grateful to the right minister. From the perspective of the area in the west of the city, in order to balance Wang Zhengjian, a princeling who has long been labeled, Li Linfu must hope to constantly create opportunities for Gao Xianzhi to overwhelm Wang Zhengjian; From the perspective of the world, An Lushan's holy favor is deepening, although he still maintains a fear of Li Linfu, but his wings are full, and it is difficult to shake, Li Linfu urgently needs a border of his own faction to balance An Lushan's power in the future.

And more importantly, as a Goguryeo native, no matter how prominent his military exploits are, he cannot enter the prime minister, and it is impossible to covet the position of the prime minister in the political affairs hall.

"Anxi and Beiting sent troops at the same time? Will the Tianshan North-South Road be too empty? Will there be any changes in Tibet? The strategic focus of this year's northwest is the capture of Shibao by the Longyou Army, and all military strategies must be based on this! The sage quickly raised new questions.

"Your Majesty, according to the estimation of the Ministry of War, sending 20,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and 60,000 cavalry of the vassal are enough to resist the eastward advance of the Great Food in the land of Zhaowu. Neither Anxi nor Beiting could afford such a large number of soldiers and the corresponding auxiliaries and baggage alone. If each side sends 10,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 vassals, it will be more than enough, and the defense area will not be too empty. As for Tibet, His Majesty need not worry. Since the Gaoduhu expedition to Xiao Bolu, the line of Suoyishui, Xinduocheng, and Tanjuling has been firmly controlled by the Anxi soldiers and horses, and the way to enter the river from the southwest has been cut off through the large and small Bolu, and will never pose a threat. On the contrary, it is possible that the Hui Hui of Mobei may move, so it is better to let the royal capital protector invite the Hui Hui to send troops together to facilitate the nearby control. Li Linfu obviously came prepared, and while playing back, he didn't forget to show Gao Xianzhi's merits.

Old. Xilie sighed secretly, but unexpectedly, this gentleman as pure as white jade in the hall was also willing to be the lackey of the right minister, and paved the stone cushion for Li Linfu to pick up the steps.

Old. Xilie glanced at it, and the prince obviously understood something, and there was a sad look between his eyebrows.

"Gao Qing is not afraid of hardships and dangers, trekking through mountains and rivers, expeditioning against Xiao Bolu, capturing King Xiao Bolu and Princess Tubo, it is really wise and brave! Gao Qing's merits are deeply remembered by me. If this expedition to the Stone Kingdom is successful, I will not hesitate to reward! The sage laughed and was in a good mood: "Ashina Qing, I know that you are a person with a pure heart for the country, and you have the initiative to conquer in the river!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, and the matter of conquering the stone country was finally decided by the saint after a series of disturbances and twists and turns. The military machine of the Tang Dynasty will be quickly launched after the court meeting to launch a new conquest in the distant river.

Everyone in the Zichen Hall has their own thoughts, or worried, or proud, or cold-eyed, or ridiculed, but what everyone doesn't know is that the real promoter of this matter is not Ashina Yang, but Wang Zhengjian, who is thousands of miles away.

And Wang Zhengjian's far-sighted three views are not entirely probed by the scouts of the North Court, but are condensed by insights through thousands of years.

And including the high saints, everyone didn't know that after this court meeting, the historical trajectory of the Tang Dynasty was pushed by a pair of immature young hands, and it deviated slightly from the original track. However, the dark and heavy historical inertia is still the same, trying to make Datang continue to sink into the dark abyss.
