When Wu Yan heard this, he was so angry that his liver was furious! You know! Regardless of whether the enemy attacks or not, the defense of the border must be strengthened, right?

Nowadays, except for Youzhou, there are almost no troops on the border, once the Turks attack, it is easy to go straight to Zhaozhou, and go deep into the territory of the Great Zhou for thousands of miles, how many people will suffer, do you know? It's all bastards.

Lou Shide also followed Wu Yan and advised the emperor to prepare for defense.

When Wu Zetian heard this, he thought about it for a long time. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking to himself, his grandson Wu Yan was very accurate in seeing the problem, and it made sense to listen to his tone.

However, the border garrison has difficulty in supplying grain and grass, and the area around Yizhou is a large plain, which is difficult to defend.

After thinking about it, he said: "Yanzhi, if you want to defend, what kind of defense method do you want?" ”

Wu Yanzhi said: "Your Majesty, there are three strategies to choose from: the upper policy, you can rebuild the big city in Yizhou and Fanyang, live in the heavy army, and connect with Youzhou to form a line to prevent the enemy from moving south."

In the middle strategy, the garrison of Zhaozhou and Dingzhou was increased by 5,000 people each, and more defensive equipment was prepared to prevent the enemy from slaughtering the people after capturing the city.

The next strategy is to reward him a lot, and I hope he will not send troops. Add another 5,000 people to the Youzhou garrison, and if the Turks attack, Zhang Renyuan, the governor of Youzhou, will lead troops to attack and harass. ”

When Lou Shide heard this, he nodded again and again. He secretly admired in his heart: King Zhuojun is really extraordinary, these three strategies, I have considered it, but I don't dare to say it.

When Wu Zetian heard this, this is the best policy, it is too troublesome to garrison 100,000 troops and build three cities. If the Turks do not attack, a large number of materials and manpower and material resources will be wasted in vain, and it is not cost-effective to make a decision, first, it will cost a lot of money, and secondly, after all, Youzhou is a city, and it can be defended, and it is tantamount to moths to the fire if it wants to attack and harass the Turks.

It's better to have a middle strategy. Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and ordered, "Yanzhi has a point. He ordered the right Wuwei general Sha Zha Zhongyi to be the defense envoy of Hebei, commanding 15,000 troops, and dividing troops to live in Tundingzhou and Zhaozhou for a period of one year. In case of a Turkic attack. As for the garrisons of Yanzhou and Fanyang, we will discuss it in the future. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen implores that Wu Shouping be transferred to serve in front of the army!" Wu Yanzhi said.

As soon as Wu Zetian heard that you were going to transfer your nephew to the front line, of course it was a good thing, and he and she were naturally very happy and said: "Okay, let Zuo Yu Lin Weilang send Wu Shouping to accompany Sha Zha Zhongyi on the expedition." In addition, I appointed Yan Zhiwei, the general of the Right Weiwei, as his personal envoy, commanded 3,000 troops, supervised the imperial history Pei Huaigu's army, and accompanied Wu Yanxiu, the king of Huaiyang, to the Turks to marry the daughter of Mo Si as a concubine. Tian Guidao remained as Si Nongqing. ”

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to continue to let Tian Guidao be the deputy envoy, but since he was resolutely opposed to harmony, of course, this matter could only be done by others. Whether Tian Guidao and Yan Zhiwei are right, it is not clear from the current situation, or everything is based on the overall situation.

Besides, Pei Huaigu, the prison soldier he appointed, is also an upright person. At least he still has the least eye for looking at people, and it is very suitable for him to be a prisoner, in case Yan Zhiwei accepts the benefits of the Turks and deliberately lures himself.

When Wu Yan heard this, Wu Zetian had to be reconciled, and he was afraid that he would be humiliated again. The Turkic Khan Mo Si was a man without faith, and he was not worthy of such trust from the Great Zhou Emperor.

According to the reliable information he obtained, this person may use the matter of the prince of the Li family to find trouble with Da Zhou and embarrass Wu Zetian. Of course, now that he is here, there is no chance for the Turkic Khan Mosi to turn the sky upside down.

……

In the afternoon, Wu Yanzhi invited Tian Guidao and Pei Huaigu to the office room of Fengge Luantai, ready to talk about the Turks alone. Cui Shilian is also there, and he has a good relationship with Tian Guidao.

The two of them had almost no contact with Wu Yanzhi, but they didn't expect Wu Yanzhi to care so much about this matter.

Wu Yanzhi first asked about the situation of the Turks, and Tian Guidao replied: "Lord Qiqi, the Turkic Khan silently snorted the ambition of the wolf, and the prince must not be guarded against. Last time, he and General Yan sent an envoy to the Turks. Because of the great victory of the king of Zhuojun, he demanded compensation, and also asked for the land under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion (the Hetao area under the jurisdiction of Andaomai) to be ceded to him, but the Holy Lord refused.

Later, he was ready to kill the lowly position. It is still in the interest of peace, and does not want the two countries to raise swords again, so he rewarded him with 40,000 grains, 50,000 miscellaneous colors, 3,000 agricultural tools, and 40,000 catties of iron. Only then did he release the humble post and General Yan, and then asked to withdraw from the marriage. ”

Wu Yanyi listened and nodded. Wu Zetian's policy of exchanging money and goods for peace was set by Yao Xuan, Yang Zaisi and others. Later, the relationship between the two sides immediately eased, and Tian Guidao was released to return to the court.

Now after he returned to the court, he stated to Wu Zetian in person, silently sipping that he had the intention of committing a crime in the south, and suggested strengthening the military defense of the border, which was similar to his own thoughts. This person is a man who does things, not a person who eats and waits for death.

"Tian Gong has worked hard! What do you think about this relationship? Wu Yanzhi said.

Tian Guidao shook his head: "Your Majesty has to insist, and we must also implement it as courtiers." The weight of the humble speech is not heavy, and he has privately said to the saint before that he will strengthen the border defense, but he does not care about it.

Fortunately, the prince also reminded him, and the saint agreed to send troops to defend. Of course, if the Turks attacked, this point of personnel was of little use, and even if they could hold these two state cities, the rest of the counties would definitely be attacked by the Turks. Damage to property and deaths are inevitable.

To deal with the Turks, it is still necessary to take the initiative to attack once and for all. Just like Huo Quai's illness at the beginning, he went straight into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, annihilated its main force, captured its people and livestock, and gave it a devastating blow, so that they disappeared forever from the border of the Great Zhou. ”

As soon as he said this, Pei Huaigu nodded again and again: "Tian Gong is really a hero!" Real men too! Nowadays, all the officials in the DPRK and China are seeking self-protection and ignoring the suffering of the people, which is really regrettable and hateful! ”

Wu Yan listened, these two people are not bad, they are bloody men, why don't you want to whip the outside and ride the desert?

However, the conditions are not yet ripe, and their firearms have not yet been formed, and there are still several years to go. However, there will be no problem in conducting the necessary defensive battles to defeat the Turks.

"Pei Yushi, as an envoy to the prison army this time, the task is very heavy and very dangerous. In case the Turkic Khan silently said that he would turn his face, maybe Pei Yushi would not be able to come back.

Therefore, I advise Pei Yushi to be fully prepared. It is better to bring a few more guards and some belongings, and in case something happens, you can bribe the Turkic soldiers so that you can escape. The contemptible people have been there for a few months and also know a few Turkic people, you can go to them. Tian Guidao said.

When Pei Huaigu heard this, he was naturally very grateful: "Thank you Tian Gong for reminding him!" However, the contemptible people do not have any extra money, and if they are unfortunate enough to sacrifice their lives for the country, they must leave some money to support their parents! Where can it be given to those Turks for nothing? "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
