Chapter 353: Trivia (2)
"This... Zhang Shilin, the division of troops is urgent, is there anything more urgent than this? ”
Han Yong asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know about this, the general should wait for the order."
Zhang Shilin arched his hand: "Generals, generals, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
With that, Zhang Shilin turned around and left. walked quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Alas, this Zhang Shilin."
Han Yong shook his head repeatedly.
Night.
In Ling Feng's study, Ling An came quickly.
Ling An brought a piece of news that made Ling Feng very angry.
"Young master, the little emperor is really shrewd, as soon as my people walked to the gate of the city, they were stopped, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Zhang... I can only stay in the imperial capital, I acted at night, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him. ”
Ling An said with a sigh.
A month ago, Ling Feng sent Ling An a task to pick up Qin Que and Zhang Wan'er to Kaiyuan, originally thinking that it would be a bright and bright pick-up, but after Ling An received the task, he felt that if it was a fair and honest pick-up to Kaiyuan, there would be a lot of inconvenience, and he didn't know whether the officers and soldiers guarding the city would let go or not, and even after consideration, he decided to go out of the city in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that the third watch in the middle of the night would not work, the little emperor seemed to have been looking at Qin Que and Zhang Wan'er, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the Praetorian Guards, helpless, Ling An could only send Qin Que and Zhang Wan'er back to their homes, and then come to report back.
"How can it be!"
Ling Feng took the case: "I am now the King of Qin, and I have the right to take my relatives to my own territory, doesn't the little emperor even know this?" Moreover, such as Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong is just a great general, and he can still put his relatives in the western frontier, but I am the king of Qin... ”
Ling An said: "Young Master, you are just too soft-hearted, if you harden up a little, like Yang Xiong, how dare the little emperor make a mistake?" ”
"Hmph, if you want me to say, the young master should make it clear to the little emperor, and if he doesn't let people go, he will..."
Ling Feng hurriedly interrupted his words, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it again, the following words are not something that can be said casually." ”
"I'm not going to take that step until I have to."
Ling An knew a little bit about Ling Feng's thoughts, and he also knew Ling Feng's concerns, but sometimes a soft-hearted heart would also ruin a big thing.
"Young Master, there is one more thing, you have to prepare in advance."
"What's the matter?"
Ling An said: "Recently, there have been rumors in the court that the little emperor will send other generals to garrison the three northern counties, and then let others recover the northern frontier, I am worried that in this way, if the young master is soft-hearted, the three northern counties may have to be handed over to the little emperor." ”
"Hehe... How dare he do that? ”
Ling Feng sat down again and said, "The three northern counties are the land that I took back from Wei Ning in a bloody battle, and if the little emperor wants to take it back, there must be an explanation, right?" I didn't rebel, I didn't owe taxes, and I took on the task of suppressing thieves, so why did he take my military power? Just because he is the emperor? ”
Speaking of this, Ling Feng thought about it carefully, frowned, and said: "No, I don't think this matter is groundless, maybe the little emperor really has this intention, but he can't make up his mind, and he doesn't know whether to make this holy decree or not, so let out some wind first, see what kind of reaction I have, if I react violently, then he will give up, if there is no reaction, he will directly give an order... Is this possible, you say? ”
Ling An scratched his head and said with a smile: "Young Master, how do I know these things, you should ask Han Ziyu." ”
"Well, that's right, you go down first, and call Han Ziyu to me by the way." Ling Feng waved his hand and said.
"No."
Half an hour later, Han Ziyu hurriedly came.
Ling Feng told him everything, Han Ziyu thought about it seriously, and confirmed Ling Feng's guess, the little emperor might really have this thought, and he just wanted to see what Ling Feng meant first.
Han Ziyu said: "This year, the lord's strength has expanded too fast, and it has threatened the safety of the imperial capital, and the little emperor is uneasy." What he has to do now is definitely to control the lord, and even reduce the lord's military power. ”
"yes..." Ling Feng took a deep breath, and he also realized this.
If he were the emperor, he would also control the person with the most military power, otherwise it would be a trouble.
However, when it comes to cutting military power and arranging for others to take over the three northern counties, Ling Feng doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that the little emperor will have the courage, nor does he believe that the little emperor will have this courage, does he just think that Ling Feng will not rebel? You must know that the rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite.
Han Ziyu said: "Lord, the little emperor's trick is poisonous enough." ”
"What do you mean?"
Han Ziyu said: "The lord, please think, now the lord has millions of soldiers, and Pang Yi and others are sandwiched in the middle, which shows that the lord will sooner or later get the land of northern Xinjiang, at that time, the strength of the lord will be very terrible, sitting on the five counties of northern Xinjiang, opening a place, sending troops from Chu County, you can go straight to the imperial capital, and from Kaiyuan to send troops, you can cross the north and south, if the lord really rebels, within half a month, he can come to the imperial capital, how can the little emperor not realize the crisis; And now, he wants to take back the three northern counties, then the lord has to give up a piece of the Yangtze River, the little emperor in this way, he will be exempted from the threat of the rear, even if the lord wants to rebel, the little emperor is only facing the enemy of Kaiyuan, he has Yang Xiong's western frontier, there are three northern counties, the pressure will be much less. ”
"My lord, I want to ask, if the little emperor really wants to take back the three northern counties, what should the lord do?"
If the three northern counties are lost, the annual tax will be less than half, Ling Feng frowned.
In fact, compared with the land of Kaiyuan, Ling Feng would prefer to have the three northern counties instead of Kaiyuan, because the three northern counties control the Yangtze River, the territory is extremely vast, and he knows that there are many benefits, and Kaiyuan, in the end, is just a county, although it is bigger than Qingliang County, but compared with the three northern counties, it is insignificant.
Ling Feng said, "What should I do?" There are only two choices, one is to hand over and transfer all the troops to Kaiyuan, but there is no land here, where should the food and military salaries come from? Two.... ”
Han Ziyu smiled cruelly: "The second is rebellion!" Lord, I have to say, with the current strength of the lord, it is completely possible to capture the imperial capital, and replace it, as long as the lord's move is successful, then the world will not dare to have objections, first set the western frontier, and then level the northern frontier, within a few years, the lord will establish a thousand years of industry. ”
At this moment, Ling Feng seemed to be a little tempted, and his eyes were a little confused, but after a few breaths, Ling Feng's expression became firm: "No, I won't be a thief, don't mention this matter in the future!" ”
"If he wants the three northern counties, I will give it to him, I would rather compromise than take risks." (To be continued.) )
