Chapter 210: Western Xinjiang Military Report

Unfortunately, because he did not prepare for the class the night before, Yu Chengen, at the request of the emperor, purely played on the spot, and actually chose an entry to satirize the prime minister's uselessness: the "repetition" of the trigram was only halfway through, Pei Baiyao, who was beside the emperor, was already shocked when he heard it, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The emperor of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info knew the irony of the prime minister's corpse vegetarian meal contained in the article "overturning", and saw Pei Baiyao's reaction so fiercely, so he set his eyes on Wei Chang, who was sitting on the other side of him, but saw Wei Chang staring intently, occasionally smiling, as if listening to it very pleasantly and intoxicated, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked Wei Chang softly: "Wei Qing, don't you understand the meaning of this entry preached by Zheng Guogong?" ”

Emperor Wei Changcheng asked himself, and hurriedly sat down and said: "It's not that I don't know, but I heard Zheng Guogong talk about this entry again today, and I am very aware of it, but I should be diligent and cautious to avoid the harshness of 'overthrow'." Other than that, nothing else. ”

The emperor listened to his words, looked back at Pei Baihua, who was sweating profusely, and laughed: "Wei Qing has the demeanor of a prime minister, although he is more than ten years old, he is not as good as him. ”

It turned out that it was not that the emperor intended to only seal some miscellaneous officials to Yu Chengen, but that Yu Chengen had been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, and at the same time, Li Jinzhong's experience was in front of him, so he took the initiative to avoid the important and trivial, and asked the emperor for these miscellaneous errands to do, so as not to incur the emperor's vigilance and vigilance against him. At the same time, the emperor was also quite satisfied with Chengen's knowledge of current affairs and the importance of his knowledge, so he chose to lead the prime minister and the prince to Guozijian on the day when Chengen came to Guozijian to be a student of Chengen, so as to show his respect and favor to Chengen.

Before the Manchu civil and military ministers in Chang'an City fully sobered up from the drastic changes in the harem and Yu Chengen's surprise that he had become the teacher of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's edict of reward to Lai Xing'er once again made them fall into a fog, and they couldn't understand whether this former impostor and the suspect who had secretly connived with the rebel Li Shu was reused by the emperor this time, or was sent to death by the emperor for some reason.

Before Luan drove into Chang'an City, the emperor specially summoned Lai Xing'er to the tomb of Mama Xia, and Yin Yin told him a lot of words, originally thinking that after entering the city, he would appoint Xing'er as the commander of the Shenhe Army, so that he could take charge of this new elite forbidden army and stay by his side as a guard. On the one hand, this can enable Lai Xing'er to return to his side and take the responsibility of guarding the Daming Palace in place of his elderly uncle Wu Bi, and on the other hand, he can also take the opportunity to mix sand under Yu Cheng'en and take the Shenhe Army into his own hands.

As a result, Yu Chengen did not rush to ask the emperor for power like Li Jinzhong before, but took the initiative to choose some innocuous envoys to do it, which made it difficult for the emperor to send Xing'er to the Shenhe army to compete with him for military power in the future.

Just as the emperor was thinking about finding a new position for Lai Xing'er, at this time, a military report suddenly passed back from Liangzhou, thousands of miles away, completely changed Lai Xing'er's fate.

This military report, signed by Luo Yuanqi, the left general of the Shenhe Army, reported in detail to the emperor how he led his army to garrison Shanzhou to resist the invasion of Tibet. From the breakthrough of the Xingzhu Pass, to the fierce battle before the destruction of the sand castle, to the fall of Shanzhou City, all of them are described in great detail and vividly. In particular, Luo Yuanqi mentioned in the military newspaper that due to the fall of Shanzhou City, he was forced to lead the remnants of more than 200 people to Liangzhou, and is currently disguised as a horse wrangler under the jurisdiction of Longyoujian, lurking in the Tubo ruling area, and can be used as the internal aid of the imperial army at any time, and contribute to the recovery of Longyou and Hexi.

In view of the fact that Shang Jing, the provincial supervisor of the Inner Chamberlain, was executed by the emperor after the incident because he concealed the military situation in Western Xinjiang, Luo Yuanqi's military report was put on the emperor's desk as soon as possible as soon as it was transmitted to Chang'an.

Because the matter involved the Shenhe Army, the name Luo Yuanqi was very eye-catching, so the emperor specially called Li Qi and Yu Chengen, the king of Mu, to Yanying Hall to discuss countermeasures.

If it weren't for seeing this military report with his own eyes in Yanying Hall today, Yu Chengen would have almost completely forgotten about Luo San'er. In his expectation, Luo San'er, who incarnated as Luo Yuanqi, should have been the ghost of the Tubo people's knife a long time ago, but he never thought that this Luo San'er would really have two hits, not only survived by luck, but also led as many as 200 soldiers to quietly lurk in the vast grassland of Longyou.

"Your Majesty, Luo Yuanqi can indeed be regarded as a general who can stand alone, and the minister thinks that he should be rewarded with an edict." Yu Chengen returned Luo Yuanqi's military report to Wang Bao'er, who was standing beside the emperor, and suggested to the emperor without hesitation.

"Qi'er, what do you think?" The emperor turned his head to Li Qi, the king of Mu.

"Father, the emperor and his sons thought that the imperial court should not only send orders to reward Luo Yuanqi, but also send people to get in touch with him, based on the remaining more than 200 soldiers under his command, and under the cover of the vast grassland under the jurisdiction of Longyoujian, to develop a slightly larger army as soon as possible in the hinterland occupied by the Tubo people. In this way, we can not only harass the Tibetan army occupying Longyou from time to time, but also contain a considerable part of the Tubo people's troops, so that it will be difficult for them to covet our Chang'an without scruples. ”

The emperor looked at Li Qi and Yu Chengen in front of him with burning eyes, and blurted out: "That's all, it's okay." When I read this military report before the two of you came, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when Qi'er mentioned Long Youjian again, I was reminded of it. The hinterland of Tibet is more than four or five thousand miles away from Chang'an, and the material supply line is too long, if you want to pose a real threat to Chang'an, you have to start raising all kinds of necessary materials in the vicinity of Longyou and Hexi, which have just been captured. ”

Seeing that Li Qi and Yu Chengen both nodded yes, waiting for him to continue, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little proud of the idea that had just popped up in his mind, and continued: "The strongest combat power in the Tibetan army is the 100,000 Scorpion Army under the command of Nasimo, and the Scorpion Army is known as its cavalry unit. The reason why the cavalry is invincible and invincible is that one is in the people and the other is in the horses. Longyou Jian Xiang is the place where our dynasty shepherds war horses, and the area under its jurisdiction is up to Fenning, which is the main supply place for war horses in the entire western Xinjiang. After the Tubo people captured Liangzhou, they would inevitably regard Longyoujian as a major support point for their foothold in western Xinjiang, and asked Longyoujian to provide their cavalry with a steady stream of war horses and sufficient forage. Luo Yuanqi's part of the men and horses are just lurking in the grassland under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Prison, you say, if you don't make full use of this rare opportunity, so that the Tubo people's attempt to use the Longyou Prison as a very important supply base for them will fail, won't they delay the major fighter plane, and sit back and watch Chang'an become a piece of fat that the Tubo people can eat if they want to?
