Chapter 252: Mao Sui recommended himself

Zhang Bao and Shi Shi heard You Jian's sneering words, their faces suddenly became a little ugly, Shi Shigang wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but Zhang Bao gently tugged his sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"In that case, You Jian, tell me what you think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Weichen believes that the intentions of the Huns and Xianbei people are no more obvious, and Zhao will fight with them sooner or later. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, Shanggu, Yanmen, Wuyuan, Pingyang, Jicheng these five places, should pay close attention to the garrison, tuntian, tun grain! Among them, this Jicheng and Shanggu are close to Xianbei, if Xianbei invades, Shanggu and Jicheng can make a counterattack at the first time. And Wuyuan, Yanmen is adjacent to the Xiongnu, to the north is the border of the Xiongnu, these two cantonments can also prevent the Xiongnu from attacking. As for Pingyang, to the west is Guanzhong, and then to Hexi, the last time the Qiang people came from Hexi with the Huns, bypassing the Yanmen Pass, in order to easily hit the clouds, so Pingyang is the door lock in the west of Zhao State, which cannot be ignored. ”

"What Lord You said has some truth, but a few days ago, when His Royal Highness King Yan put forward the proposal of the troops in the tuntian, you took the lead in opposing it, but at this moment you took the initiative to put forward the strategy of the tuntian, Lord You, you really have no principles, hehe......" Zhang Bao sneered.

"You ......" You Jian was ashamed and annoyed.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." Liu Yuanzhi stood up.

"You say!"

Liu Yuanzhi saw that the people of Yan Wangfu and Qingwangfu were about to quarrel again, so he could only stand up and interrupt their argument, and said: "The minister thinks that when the general trend is today, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period back then, our Zhao State is located in the Central Plains, there is no danger barrier, and there is no strong national strength, so it is not enough to use force to determine the country and the country." ”

As soon as Liu Yuanzhi said this, even the people in Yanwangfu listened to it, and there was a point of truth, and Zhang Bao and the others looked at each other unconsciously.

Shi Hu nodded again and again, and when he saw Liu Yuanzhi stop, he immediately ordered: "You go on!" Go on! ”

"The minister thought that the previous strategy of His Royal Highness Yan Wang's tuntian could lay a good foundation for Zhao to accumulate national strength. If there is enough food, the people will be prosperous, if there are many people, there will be many soldiers, and if there are many soldiers, the enemy will not dare to attack. At present, the matter of Tuntian has been implemented in various places, this year's spring planting has begun, and the local government offices are also collecting the displaced people, so that the four seas can be stable, and the people can rest and recuperate with peace of mind. In time, food, weapons, horses, and soldiers will be replenished. ”

"Lord Liu, what you just said, such as soldiers, horses, grain and grass, is not something that can be solved right now. But the Xiongnu and Xianbei, especially the Huns, will invade our border anytime and anywhere, and this is the top priority! Zhang Bao said.

"Master Zhang, I haven't finished yet." Liu Yuanzhi said unhurriedly.

Shi Hu glanced at the two of them and said to Zhang Bao, "Zhang Bao, let him finish." ”

Zhang Bao glanced at Liu Yuanzhi stupidly, and stood back obediently.

Liu Yuanzhi cleared his throat and continued: "Regarding the matter of guarding against the Xiongnu, what Master You said just now makes sense, Wuyuan and Yanmen are the border of the Xiongnu to the north, and the garrison should be strengthened. A few days ago, Shi Yong had already rushed to Yanmen Pass, and it was believed that with Shi Yong's means, the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Yanmen Pass would also be improved in the near future. And the guards of the five plains have always been conscientious in their duties, and there has been no mistake, and His Majesty can rest assured. However, the Huns have always been fierce, and only 20,000 defenders of Yanmen Pass and Wuyuan alone are afraid that it will not be enough to deal with it, so Weichen thinks that at present, 10,000 people can be transferred from Taiyuan and Licheng to Yanmen Pass and Wuyuan respectively to increase the defense. ”

"Lord Liu, the defenders of Taiyuan and Licheng originally had less than 30,000 people, and each transferred 10,000, so the troops of Taiyuan and Licheng are a little nervous, once there is an emergency, how to deal with it?" Shi Shi asked.

"What Your Highness said is that since the great drought in the north last year, Taiyuan and Licheng are full of displaced people, and there is indeed a possibility of riots, but not long ago, the order of Tuntian has already been issued in various places, and I heard that the public sentiment in various places has been stabilized to a certain extent, as long as the counties keep peace and guard themselves, and do their duty, there will be no riots."

"The Huns are indeed hateful! What do you think about the transfer of troops to increase defense? Shi Hu looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one took the lead.

"Prime Minister, what do you think!" Shi Hu saw that everyone didn't speak, so he asked Gao Shangzhi first.

Gao Shangzhi hurriedly stood up and replied with a salute: "What Lord Liu said is polite, transfer troops to increase defense, and the old minister agrees!" ”

"Wechen is also in favor!" You Jian nodded.

Shi Shi, Zhang Bao and others were forced to be helpless, and Liu Yuanzhi's idea was indeed correct, so they could only nod in approval.

"There is one more thing that the minister thinks must be said." Liu Yuanzhi said.

"Say it." Shi Hu raised his hand to signal.

"The Qiang and Di tribes are entrenched in the west of the river, where the water and grass are fertile, and there are countless horses, cattle and sheep, although these two tribes are not as strong as the Xiongnu, but they also have tens of thousands of soldiers. Now that Zhao is facing enemies, for the Qiang and Di people, the ministers think that they should take a gentle policy......"

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen thinks so too! Shi Shi suddenly interrupted Liu Yuanzhi's words.

Shi Hu nodded and said, "It seems that you and I thought of going together!" ”

Shi Shi originally wanted to steal Liu Yuanzhi's limelight, but he didn't expect Shi Hu to have this plan in his heart, and he didn't give him a chance to express his opinion at all.

Liu Yuanzhi disagreed, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty will plan?" ”

"I won't tell you anything, this idea was given to me by Xihuahou, I thought about it again and again, I think it's good, I'll talk to you today." Shi Hu cleared his throat and said, "The Qiang clan's Mudu is still in the Zhao Kingdom, and I plan to send someone to send him back to Hexi in the near future to show my heavenly grace!" At the same time, I want to send envoys to the Qiang and Di tribes to make friends with them, so that the safety of the western border of the Zhao State will not be worried. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Bao hurriedly stood up, saluted Shi Hu respectfully, and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has thought about who to send an envoy, if not, Weichen is willing to go!" ”

Seeing Zhang Bao Mao recommend himself, everyone was taken aback, and even Shi Shi looked at Zhang Bao with a surprised face.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao winked at Shi Shi, and then squinted at You Jian and Liu Yuanzhi, Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while.

"Oh? Zhang Bao, you are very positive today, your loyalty and courage have seen it! Shi Hu was a little relieved.

At this time, Shi Hu suddenly saw Zhang Bao squeezing his eyebrows at Shi Shi, so he asked, "Zhang Bao, you are eye-to-eyeing with King Yan, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Bao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is asking Weichen to retreat." ”

"Tell you to step down? Dick, what does this mean? Shi Hu wondered.

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, he didn't react to what was going on at all, Zhang Bao's strange words made him suddenly feel that this Zhang Bao had also betrayed the people of Qingwangfu.

"Second brother, what do I ask you to say! The ministers are deliberating, what kind of god are you going? Shi Hu asked impatiently.

Shi Shi stood up a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Zhang Bao suddenly said again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan wants Weichen to give him the errand to Hexi. ”

"What? You go? Shi Hu didn't expect that his most cowardly son would rush to take on such an errand.

"Father, son, minister......" Shi Shi was completely stunned.

"What are you? If you want to go, just say it out loud. Shi Hu was very puzzled when he saw Shi Shi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is a little inappropriate to send an envoy to Hexi, and it is inappropriate for Lord Zhang and His Royal Highness King Yan to go down!" You Jian said.

"Then who do you think would be better to send?" Shi Hu asked.

"To envoy Hexi and deal with the Qiang and Di people, in addition to having a plan, you must also have courage. Although His Royal Highness King Yan is familiar with the scriptures and history, it seems that his courage is not enough. Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Qing can take on this important task, His Royal Highness King Qing has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been deeply taught by His Majesty since he was a child. ”

Shi Shi reacted at this time, what was the reason why Zhang Bao pushed himself out just now, so he hurriedly said: "Father, the son really wants to share the worries for the father, so I want to recommend myself and let the son go to Hexi!" ”
