In Chang'an City, Lu Chengqi in the palace was sitting on the vertical arch hall, listening carefully to the report of Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In just one day, under the impetus of the Supervision Department and the newspaper, the hatred of the people against the Khitans was once again ignited in Dashun. Especially under the cry of the "border people", the people of Chang'an City knew for the first time how cruel the Khitan people's so-called "grass valley" was.

Even the newborn baby has never been spared, it is simply inferior to a beast!

In the end, the Han people are a good people, or most people are kind, after all, the cultural foundation is there, and they can't imagine that there are such vicious people in the world. Coupled with the rendering of the imperial court, it was said that once the Khitans went south to the Central Plains, none of the Han people would be spared, and they were even more indignant.

National hatred and family hatred, this time it is really national hatred and family hatred. Although the Han people seem to be weak and deceitful, when united, they can overwhelm the mountains and seas.

Lu Chengqi knew that once the Khitans opened the Pandora's box of "Fighting Grass Valley", they would be completely unable to contain it. The first time you get so much out of it, it's enough to take the road of adventure. If the merchant has ten percent profit, capital is ready to move; With 100 percent profits, capital gets carried away; And with a 300 percent profit, what can't he do? The Khitan people are even more powerful, they do all the business without capital, and the profit is thousands of times, tens of thousands of times!

People die for money, birds die for food, and the Khitans are willing to covet money and silver, so Lu Chengqi is not to blame for his ruthlessness.

After sneering and listening to Xu Jingchun's propaganda in Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, he said calmly: "Very good, the next time the Khitans come to fight Grass Valley, the border army will attack." The premise is that you have to win a big win to lift the people's hearts, you know? ”

Now there are still people in Dashun who are afraid of the Khitan people's force and want to make peace. Lu Chengqi just wanted them to see that the Han army would never lose to the Khitans!

Xu Jingchun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the Khitans who coerced the people, the battle fought some time ago would have been won. ”

Lu Chengqi said expressionlessly: "Isn't it still an ambush by others?" That's it, eat a trench and grow wise, don't be so stupid in the future. ”

Xu Jingchun said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

"The Khitans have tasted the sweetness, and they must be able to go south to fight the grass valley again. Even if they don't want to come, I'm going to lure them in, Xu Qing, you know what I mean, right? Lu Chengqi said slowly.

Xu Jingchun immediately understood: "Your Majesty is saying that you want the inspector to pretend to be a businessman?" ”

Lu Chengqi nodded: "That's right!" This victory is over, and I will come to the spring of next year, and then send troops on a large scale, and the sword will be pointed at Linhuang Mansion! Lu Chengqi is not stupid, he knows that autumn is the strongest period for the steppe nomads, and in spring and winter, they are not so spirited. Now it is autumn, the horses on the grassland are all pasted with autumn fat, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and it is a hard battle to send troops. Besides, winter will soon come, and the winter of the Xiaoice River period will come earlier than usual, and it is not suitable for sending troops. Only at the beginning of spring, when it is warm and cold, the horses on the grassland are hungry, a large number of cattle and sheep are dead, and the Khitan people are even short of food, is a good opportunity to send troops.

Xu Jingchun was shocked, he was born in the border army, how could he not know the meaning of Lu Chengqi's move? This is going to start a decisive battle with Liao! "Your Majesty, this ...... Can it be done? ”

It's not that Xu Jingchun is timid, but he is afraid that the treasury will not be able to support it. Dashun is a conscription system, there is no military salary, where will the soldiers sell their lives?

"It will definitely be done!" Lu Chengqi said confidently, jokes, you can't beat the Khitans with firearms and artillery, so Lu Chengqi really doesn't know what to say.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling drum sound: "Knock knock!! ”

"Who's beating the drum?" Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and immediately summoned the chamberlain and asked him to run out to find out.

After a while, the chamberlain ran back panting and said, "Your Majesty...... Down, outside...... Dengwen Drum Courtyard gathered a number of scholars, saying that they implore His Majesty to send troops to the Northern Expedition! ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Scholar? Are you not mistaken? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the little ones won't be mistaken." The chamberlain's breath smoothed down a bit, and he said cautiously.

Lu Chengqi was amused in his heart, the civil officials in the court repeatedly prevented him from sending troops, saying that it would cost the people and money, and cause great harm to the country. But these scholars are good, and they disagree with their "predecessors", which is really a bit unbelievable. However, Lu Chengqi also knew that these scholars were just angry young people of this era, and when they became officials, the situation would definitely be very different, and even change 180 degrees.

"Okay, it's rare to have a scholar who is worried about the country, and I can't leave if I have something important, so you go down and prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, write a letter of request for them, sign and draw it, and submit it to me!" Lu Chengqi didn't want to see these angry youths, so as not to damage his IQ. But for the sake of fame, this is the only way to do it.

These scholars are already very happy to be able to reach the heavens, even if they have some regrets and can't say it directly to the saints, they can accept it.

So, one by one, I unfolded the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, searched the intestines and scraped the belly, and strived to write better, so that I could enter the eyes of the Holy Dharma. The saint personally approved it, this is a treatment that the temple test has never had! If they don't seize the opportunity, they will also read poetry books for so many years in vain.

In the vertical arch hall, Lu Chengqi was still calm and relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about Liao Guo at all.

In fact, Xu Jingchun knew that the more Lu Chengqi was like this, the more nervous he became. He didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that Lu Chengqi would blame him.

"By the way, how are the Jurchens now?"

Lu Chengqi said violently that the only thing he was worried about was the Jurchens.

is different from the Northern Song Dynasty's "Lianjin Annihilation of Liao" in the official history, and now Dashun is fighting against the Liao State alone, and it is even likely to attract the Jurchens.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Jurchens are still entrenched in the area of Baishan and Heishui, and their strength has not yet recovered." Xu Jingchun replied immediately. The Jurchens and the Khitan fought for several years, and both sides were exhausted, where could they recover their strength so quickly?

Lu Chengqi stood up and paced back and forth several times before he asked again: "Xu Qing, do you think the Jurchens in this battle will join forces with the Liao State to fight against my Dashun?" ”

Xu Jingchun was stunned for a moment, and then said with certainty: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks it won't!" ”

"Why?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Jurchen and the Khitan have become feuding, not only the Khitan beware of the Jurchen, but the Jurchen also beware of the Khitan. If the two clans send troops at the same time, they will definitely be wary of each other, and this will be an opportunity. The Khitans have been in battle for a long time, and they will not do such stupid things! Xu Jingchun talked eloquently, and all aspects were taken into account.

Lu Chengqi sneered: "What if the Liao Kingdom is beaten by me and is about to be destroyed? ”

Xu Jingchun said: "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, then the Jurchen is even more happy, she can take the opportunity to get rid of the control of the Liao State, and she will definitely die without help!" ”

Lu Chengqi had to say that Xu Jingchun's analysis was very reasonable. This is due to human nature, and most people will forget their own safety because of immediate interests. It's just that I don't know if I have the courage to do it. To be honest, if the Khitan and Jurchen join forces, Dashun will really be in trouble. The Jurchens are much braver than the Khitans, and they are invincible, which does make some sense.

"I wonder how Zhe Kexing is doing now?" Lu Chengqi suddenly missed this wise and brave general in his heart.
