Chapter 388: The expedition is imminent
The palace is full of civil and military affairs for the emperor's breath, and he is speechless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The minister, who is usually able to speak well, was ashamed to find that he was speechless and speechless to argue with Li Shimin's angry and well-founded words.
Chu Suiliang is even more speechless, Qin Feng is deeply favored by the emperor, rising steadily, and all of them are real power, in charge of the army, the military and political affairs of one side, and now he is the commander of the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition, in charge of military and political affairs, and the civil and military eyes of the Manchu Dynasty are extremely red.
Qin Feng has no foundation in the court, and there is no support from any forces, and Qin Qiong's role is equivalent to zero, so most people think that his status today is due to Li Shimin, and instinctively ignore his great achievements.
At this moment, Li Shimin mentioned Qin Feng's meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty one by one, and everyone had nothing to say.
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "The merits of General Xiao Qin are obvious to all, but he is also the governor of Shuofang, and Tuli under the rule of Shuofang has just been annexed, if this person has bad intentions and raises troops to cause chaos, who can govern him?" It is true that General Xiao Qin can be civil and martial, but he wears many hats, will he be a little careless? General Xiao Qin is still young and has no experience in dealing with emergencies, so I am afraid that he will not be able to support him. If Tuli really rebelled, and General Xiao Qin rashly returned to the division, would it affect the battle situation ahead? ā
Wei Zheng is an upright person, and this remark is not aimed at Qin Feng, but on a case-by-case basis to explain the actual existence of Shuo Fang.
Li Shimin understood what Wei Zheng meant, and paused: "What Wei Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but those who can work hard, I still believe that Qin Feng still has this ability." The Turks have always been in awe of the gods, they regard Qin Feng's mount as the mount of the lightning god, and respect Qin Feng as the lightning god, and they will never dare to rebel. ā
Wei Zheng was a little worried: "In this way, the minister is relieved." However, please also ask Your Majesty to take care of Er Liu, and the minister is worried that they will do something out of the ordinary. If I make a move to force against Tuli, it will be extremely detrimental to my Datang's reputation. ā
Governor Xia Shi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan were villains in Wei Zheng's eyes, and he had always looked down on these two.
Wei Zheng is not like this for no reason, in fact, Er Liu has a criminal record.
Before, Li Shimin had always had the idea of fighting those Shuo Fang, but because Liang Shidu was too obsessed with power, he was reluctant to let go of the "status above ten thousand people" of Emperor Liang in his hand, and rejected Li Shimin's proposal many times. Li Shimin also let Changshi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan open a series of conspiracies.
It's just that Er Liu is too insidious, and he directly adopted the strategy of cutting off grain and destroying the fields, which is clever, but it is too ruthless. But if it weren't for that, it would be impossible to take those Shuofang troops lightly. It's just that it's these innocent people who are suffering, after all. At the beginning, when he saw the people of Shuofang, not to mention Qin Feng, even Chai Shao, who was born in troubled times, was also shocked and frightened.
After they officially occupied Shuofang, they found that the long street was full of people with visible skin, and they squirmed in the same direction like zombies on TV. This Shuofang is located in the Northland, and the people of the Northland are known for their burly and tall ears, but the people in front of them are as thin as skin and bones, their eyes are blank, and their limbs are weak. For their arrival, they were indifferent, and their spirits were extremely poor, which was really shocking.
It was also because Li Tang's moves were too sharp, and Shuo Fang couldn't deal with it at all. can only be passively attacked, passively resisted. After more than a year of breathing, I can't hold on anymore. Serious problems have arisen in the grain and grass economy, and there are still suspicions and mutual speculations internally. Even short-sighted people realize that they can't breathe anymore if they continue like this, and almost no one is optimistic about Liang Shidu's future. The so-called departure and choice of wood and rest refers to this time.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly sent Chai Shao as the general manager, and laid a foundation for internal and external troubles in one fell swoop. This merit and glory were taken by Chai Shao and Qin Feng, who had cut off the head of Liang Shidu.
Liu Min and Liu Lan paid a lot of money for their conspiracy and trickery, and in the end they surrendered for various reasons, and they took all the credit. The unwillingness in this heart should be obvious.
When dealing with government affairs, Wei Zheng had many contacts with Liu Min and Liu Lan to understand their personalities and their serious utilitarianism.
In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, even if it is said to be such a person.
Only this kind of person can do it by destroying fields and burning houses, creating panic with public opinion, and so on. If it were Wei Zheng, or if it was a person with a little conscience and humanity, he would never have done such a thing. Because once this method reaches a certain point, if it is slightly excessive, it will evolve into a tragic situation of eating people and eating people.
With Wei Zheng's temperament of not being right about things, he hates Er Liu so much, which shows that Er Liu's personality is already incorrigibly bad.
If these two people get the authority granted by Li Shimin, and force Tuli to rebel in order to make meritorious contributions, then it will be a big game, and when the surrounding aliens say that Li Tang has rebelled and killed everything, who will surrender to Datang? Dare to surrender to Datang? This is also where Wei Zheng's worries lie.
Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Wei Qing rest assured, I will be clear about diplomacy." "Wei Zheng's concerns are right, if he forces Tuli to rebel, it will be difficult to recruit a certain alien race in the future.
Thinking of the twists and turns from Liu Min and Liu Lan's continuous impeachment of Qin Feng, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. At the beginning, he took a fancy to Liu Min and Liu Lan, who were scheming, utilitarian, and suitable for breaking Shuofang's game, but he didn't expect this game to be broken, because of a little accident, the credit fell into Qin Feng's hands, and they actually used their utilitarian heart on Qin Feng's body. This is not a good sign.
Seeing that Li Shimin had made up his mind, no one said anything more.
So far, after some twists and turns, the commander of the three-way army has finally been decided, and the three coaches are served by three generations of generals who are old and strong, hard-working, and rising stars, and their significance is even more extraordinary.
The more than 100,000 elite soldiers dispatched on this trip were all subject to Li Jingjie's degree, and they chose a day to march north.
The wind of war rose strongly, and the day when various military orders were issued.
Datang, a war organization, has risen at the fastest speed!
All kinds of strategic material resources were sent to the front-line cities of the war.
Before the innumerable amount of material reached the front line, the appointment was passed to Shuofang first.
********************
āā¦ā¦ Turkic barbarians, perennial invasion of my country, destroy my homeland, kill my people, now the time is ripe, specially sealed Shuofang Du Hu Ben general Qin Feng as the general of the march of the same way, led Xiazhou, Suizhou, Shuofang troops to the north, hope that the general will destroy the enemy, and then get miraculous achievements. ā
Xiao Yu personally handed over the holy decree to Qin Feng, and said with a smile: "Yu congratulates the general on his success and triumphant. ā
"Lord Xie Xiao's auspicious words!"
Xiao Yu was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin personally appointed Xiao Yu as the person who passed the decree, which shows how much attention is paid to this battle, and I believe that Li Jing and Li Ji are similar. As he thought, there are now five prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, namely Pei Lian, Yu Wenshiji, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren and Xiao Yu. Except for Pei Lin and Yu Wenshi, the remaining three were ordered by Li Yuan to go to Qin Feng, Li Jing, and Li Ji to pass the decree here to show their prudence.
Xiao Yu certainly didn't have much to do with Qin Feng. It's just Xiao Yu's warm blessing, and Qin Feng also responded happily.
If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, he will repay him twice. On the contrary, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot. It is Qin Feng's style of life.
Xiao Yu originally thought that Qin Feng, who was a young man, was arrogant and flamboyant, but he was also very surprised to see Qin Feng talking so well, which was the opposite of what he imagined, and he suddenly had a good impression.
"Lord Xiao has been in the dust all the way, and he will rest for a moment or two." Xiao Yu's troubled appearance is obviously in a hurry to announce the decree and work day and night, as a civil official, this kind of forced rush is really difficult for him.
"It's fine!" Xiao Yu shook his head, chatted with Qin Feng for a few words, and suddenly said with some embarrassment and embarrassment: "This...... Can the general take a step to speak? ā
Qin Feng felt that Xiao Yu was a little too enthusiastic at the beginning, and only then did he understand that he had something to look for him.
One more friend in the officialdom means one less enemy, Xiao Yu is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he has been around since the time of Li Yuan, he is also very influential in the court, and it is very beneficial to have a good relationship with him.
Qin Feng nodded and let everyone retreat. There were only two of them left in the council chamber.
Xiao Yu said: "Xiao Yu is a little difficult to talk about this matter, and I don't know how to speak. ā
Qin Feng said: "Lord Xiao just said it, I am a soldier, you know that soldiers have never liked to beat around the bush. No matter what Lord Xiao said. I can do my best to help. If you can't help, you will refuse, and Lord Xiao should not take it to heart. ā
Xiao Yu's heart was inexplicably wide, he was stern and rigid, upright, Qin Feng's frankness directly made him feel good, and he bowed his head and said: "The general is quick to talk, and Yu will say it bluntly here." Yu has a sister, who is the queen of the former dynasty. Under the care of Princess Yicheng, he is now in the Turkic king's tent. If possible, the opportunity. I hope that the general can treat his sister well, and it is best to welcome her back to Chang'an. My sister treats me like a mother, and she is gentle and intelligent, knowledgeable and courteous, and the turmoil of the Sui Dynasty has nothing to do with her. On the contrary, he persuaded Yang Guang many times, but Yang Guang was mediocre and did not listen to good words, so he reaped the consequences of his own evil and hoped that the general would learn ......"
This Xiao Yu is really rich and handsome, the seventh son of Emperor Xiao Yu of Liang Ming in the Southern Dynasty, the half-brother of Emperor Xiao Cong of the late Liang Dynasty, and the queen of the royal family.
Because Yang Sui and Xiao Liang had an extremely close relationship, Yang Jian and Yang Guang both allowed the existence of Liang, a country within a country. Xiao Yu as a prince grew up in the imperial city of Jiangling, where his parents were extremely superior under the care of his parents, and when he was nine years old, he was named the king of Xin'an County, and in the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Xiao Yu entered Sui with his brother Xiao Cong, and then settled in Chang'an. Xiao Yu was often invited by her sister to live in Yang Guang's Jin Palace, where she was well taken care of.
Qin Feng also remembered Xiao Yu's birth, and his heart suddenly changed. However, he soon read a wild history, and his mind occupied that wild history: in his memory, he saw an article titled "The Strange Woman Who Fascinated the Six Sovereigns", in which the strange woman was talking about Empress Xiao, and I don't know if it was true or not.
Whether it is true or not, although this Empress Xiao is the queen of the previous dynasty, her status is high, and it is true that she is courteous to Li Shimin, and Qin Feng has no reason not to be upset with a hard-working woman with a good reputation, so he immediately bowed his head and said: "I have also heard of the virtuous name of Empress Xiao of the previous dynasty. If she can really meet her, she will be treated well and welcome her back to Chang'an. ā
Xiao Yu said deeply: "Thank you, General!" ā
"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be like this. Empress Xiao has contributed to the world and the people, and should return to her homeland and enjoy her old age in peace. ā
