Just when everyone was teasing Zhao Xue and Zhao Tuo, the two children, in the backyard to play happily, Wang Can rushed in, and when he saw that everyone was happy, he immediately stopped and stood aside, but he was so anxious that he turned in a circle. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhao Ziliang saw it, he said to Nie Sanniang and Chen Qingying: "I'll go to the front to deal with some official business, and you guys will play by yourself!" ”

"Go, go, go"

Zhao Ziliang walked towards Wang Can, and Wang Can immediately greeted him and hugged his fists and said, "Be handsome!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stepped aside and stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The imperial court sent someone to send an edict, which should be to let the marshal lead the troops to Chang'an to quell the rebellion! The eunuch is in the outer hall! ”

The intelligence system in Zhao Ziliang's hands is developed, and there are special personnel responsible for the transmission of information at the post stations or towns along the way from Chang'an to Beiting, so when An Lushan rebelled and the troops were transmitted to Beiting in less than two months, Zhao Ziliang could not send troops at that time, and he was not ready to send troops.

Zhao Ziliang perked up and said to Wang Can: "Put on the incense case and go to notify the officials and generals in the palace to come to receive the order!" I'm going to change my clothes and I'll be right away! ”

"No!"

In the hall of the Jiedu Embassy, Zhao Ziliang and the officials of the Beiting Metropolitan Protector and the Jiedu Envoy received the holy decree and sent away the eunuchs who announced the decree.

After walking to the desk and sitting down, Zhao Ziliang looked at all the officials and said: "I didn't expect An Lushan to really be opposed, you have all heard the holy decree, you all say your opinions!" ”

Someone said angrily: "Jie Shuai, according to the lower officials, let's not send troops, let them fight the rebels by themselves!" For so many years, with the military exploits and talents of the marshal, he should have been ranked in the position of prime minister a long time ago, but he was repeatedly suspicious of the imperial court, and the marshal was degraded again and again, resulting in Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, An Sishun The official positions of these small characters are higher than those of the marshal, and now some people are rebelling, and the court thinks of the marshal, why didn't they want to have today? ”

Many people think that this official is reasonable, but there are still many people who think that they want to send troops, and if they don't send troops, isn't it a disobedience to the order?

At this time, a heavyweight stood up, and everyone saw that it was Liu Wei, the judge of the festival, although Liu Wei's official position was not high, but he was Zhao Ziliang's chief staff, he stood up and said: "Jieshuai, some things that the lower officials say may not sound good, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Lord Liu is not an outsider, just say anything you have to say!" ”

Liu Wei arched his hand again and said: "With the current military exploits of the festival marshal, not to mention that no one in the current dynasty can match, there are few people in the past dynasties who can compare with the festival marshal, the merits of the festival marshal are too great, and it is taboo for His Holiness!" This time, if the commander leads the troops to successfully quell the rebellion, he will be highly meritorious, and he is only afraid of ·······"

Liu Wei didn't finish his words, but the generals and officials present all understood in their hearts that the latter words must be life-saving, and the credit was so great that they overshadowed the emperor's limelight, and his prestige was higher than that of the emperor, so how could the emperor deal with himself? Even though the emperor is broad-minded, the courtiers are afraid that they will not think so, there must be people who slander, and the emperor is worried that his throne will not be guaranteed, and disaster will come!

The atmosphere in the lobby was too depressing, and the officials and generals did not dare to come out, feeling uncomfortably depressed.

Zhao Ziliang suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk and said sadly: "Since ancient times, traitors are easy to be, but loyal ministers are difficult to do!" But I, Zhao Ziliang, am deeply favored by the emperor, as the town and people of the Tang Festival, do you want me to watch the thieves mess with the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty has weakened to today's situation, no matter whose fault it is, how innocent the people are, they can't let the people of the dawn of the world bear this responsibility, right? ”

Suddenly, everyone in the hall fell to their knees and cried and shouted: "Think twice!" ”

The hearts of the officials and generals in the hall at this time are complicated, most people hope that Zhao Ziliang's class will return to the dynasty to quell the rebellion, but they don't want Zhao Ziliang to be suspicious of the emperor, and finally end up with no place to be buried, but Zhao Ziliang is gone, and everyone is extremely conflicted.

After a long time, Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "Everyone get up, don't persuade anymore, Zhao is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, since the emperor's will has arrived, how can Zhao not obey the edict?" If so, what is the difference between Zhao and the thief? Cen joined the army, and ordered the Taixi Protectorate to protect Dugujun, the Mengchi Protectorate to protect Gao Shi, the Kunling Protector to protect Chu Ge, the Moxi Army Envoy Zhao Hu, the White Water Army Envoy Li Sheng, the Desert Army Envoy Wei Meng, the Tianshan Army Envoy Bai Xiaode, the Han Navy Envoy Huo Kan, the Dumi Navy Envoy Xuanyi, the Medicine Killing Water Army Envoy Gu Huaien, and the Xilin Guard Capture Envoy Brehan rushed to discuss the matter of sending troops to quell the rebellion! ”

Cen Shen tearfully agreed: "No"

Zhao Ziliang looked at Zheng San and said, "Lord Zheng, prepare for the 40,000 army to go out with food and salary!" ”

"No!"

On the eighth day of the third month of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the military and political officials of the North Court arrived in Henglus City to participate in the military and political meeting to fight the rebellion.

Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and sat on the main seat waiting for everyone to come one by one, and Cen Shen waved his hand to the generals who walked in one after another, asking them to stop their voices and stand on the left and right.

When everyone arrived, Cen Shen walked to Zhao Ziliang and said, "Jieshuai, they have all arrived!" ”

Zhao Ziliang opened his eyes when he heard this, and everyone bowed down on one knee to Zhao Ziliang: "See the festival handsome!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "You should all know, why did you come over this time?" An Lushan rebelled, and the imperial court ordered Ben Shuai to send troops to quell the rebellion. Someone advised me not to go, saying that my military achievements were too great, and if I succeeded in sending troops to quell the rebellion, I would inevitably be suspicious, and I was afraid that my life would not be guaranteed! Some of you are my students, that is, I have been with me all the year round, and those I have promoted are all close friends, what do you say I should do? ”

Everyone looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said in unison: "I will wait for the commander to obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "You are all close to me, and those who know me know that at this time, I definitely can't sit here and watch the chaos in the Tang Dynasty and be plagued by thieves!" But I'm also afraid of death, I'm not afraid of dying on the battlefield, I'm not afraid of the horse leather shroud, I Zhao someone has been fighting horses for 20 years, after hundreds of battles and battles, I have never been timid in the battle array, and I have killed countless enemies, but I am afraid of being stabbed in the back, I am afraid of being suspicious of the superiors, because the danger always comes from behind, I don't want to be like General Huangfu Weiming, General Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing died like a nest ah······."

The generals looked at each other, and Wang Can, who was standing at the front, hugged his fists and said: "If the marshal does not send troops, it is natural that he will not be able to pass the hurdle in his heart, for the sake of today's plan, we can only send troops first, be cautious in the process of counterinsurgency, and not be caught, if someone wants to frame the marshal, we will naturally not agree, we have heavy troops, as long as the marshal has military power in hand, and does not openly rebel, the court will definitely have scruples, and dare not attack the marshal casually!" ”

Wei Meng shouted: "Fart, if the emperor is really suspicious of the commander and wants to seize the power of the commander, what else do you need?" You can fabricate any crime at will! Since ancient times, who has not died of a trumped-up crime? ”

Li Sheng said: "The festival marshal was suspected of being questioned on trumped-up charges, and I and other people naturally have no good end, if it really comes to that time, will we still sit still and wait for death?" If the Central Plains can't stay, let's escort the festival commander back to Beiting! ”

Bai Xiaode shouted: "That's right! The guy in our hands is not a burning stick, and we are not soft persimmons, how can they pinch it as much as they want? If anyone wants to move the handsome, they have to ask the guy in our hand if they say yes! ”

Xuan Yi shouted: "Seconded!" ”

Huo Kan said: "Seconded! ”

For a time, the generals seconded the proposal.

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a long time, and said: "Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Li Sheng, Fugu Huaien, Cen Shen, a few of you will go with me on the expedition, and the others will stay in Beiting Town to guard all places!" ”

Those who were not named begged one after another: "Please let me wait and follow the festival commander!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "I understand your feelings, but Beiting can't be left unguarded, if you all go with me, what will Beiting do?" So you can stay with peace of mind, but the burden on the people you left behind is not light, now I have 50,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 garrisons in Beiting, this time I decided to take away 30,000 elite soldiers, and take away half of the men and horses, although it will not make Beiting empty, but after all, the troops are less than half, I am afraid that the big food country will take military action against our North Garden, but you don't have to worry too much, now the big food country and the west of the Furat have friction on the border from time to time, and the two sides are stationed at the border confrontation, but I am afraid that we will not be able to draw too many troops to deal with us! In addition to taking away 30,000 elite soldiers, I also decided to take away a total of 10,000 horses from the Western Turkic Divisions, the Zhuyue Division, and the Zhimi Division, making up a total of 40,000 people, so that even if the Western Turkic Divisions, the Zhuyue Division, and the Minim Divisions have different aspirations, they do not have the strength to do it, you only need to pay attention to the Zhaowu Nine Tribes in various parts of Sogdia, although we have adopted a strong suppression and attack on the Zhaowu Nine Tribes, and we also have a policy of softness, there are still some people who secretly oppose our rule, and this is unavoidable! Chasing down the rebels is a long-term task, we can't expect to solve this matter within a year or two, or even our generation can't solve it in a lifetime, we need to rely on our next generation, or even the next generation! In addition, there are still many horse bandits and bandits entrenched in various parts of the Beiting territory, especially in the desert area and between the lofty mountains, these people are hiding in them, and our army cannot pursue them deeply, and they often come out to plunder the trade routes, which greatly damage the stability of the trade routes, you must intensify your efforts to crack down on horse bandits and bandits! ”

The generals looked at each other and nodded, and Xuan Yi asked, "After the festival commander leaves, who will preside over the overall situation in Beiting?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The political affairs are represented by Lord Liu Wei, and the military affairs are represented by ······."

The people who were left behind said in unison: "General Zhao Hu has great military achievements and strong martial arts, and we are willing to take General Zhao Hu as the mainstay!" ”

At this time, Li Sheng frowned and said: "If General Zhao Hu presides over the military affairs, how should General Lai Yao, the envoy of soldiers and horses, deal with himself?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "That's it, let Lai Yao also go with me on the expedition, General Lai Yao has proposed to me many times before that he wants to be transferred back to Chang'an to serve my father, but I have refused." This is an opportunity, let him go to Chang'an with me! (To be continued.) )
