Chapter 145: A Strategy for the Country
In the morning, Jafu yawned and opened his sleepy eyes. Looking at the familiar room, a sense of sleepiness hit me again. After a while, a slight snoring sound, and I gradually fell asleep.
"Sneeze ......". Chai Xianjun sneaked in, took a small piece of grass, and shook it on Jia Fu's nose.
After a few sneezes, Jia Fu was completely sleepy, and looked at Chai Xianjun angrily: "When did you come, didn't you see me sleeping?" disturbing dreams".
Chai Xianjun looked Jia Fu up and down, muttering to himself: "It seems that there is nothing, a different place."
"What's different about Jun'er?". Jia Fu looked at Chai Xianjun and asked puzzled.
Chai Xianjun's eyes widened and looked at Jia Fu: "I heard rumors in the palace that Master and Uncle Jia fought a big victory in the northwest. It has been said, "You have three heads and six arms." That's why we can defeat 50,000 with 5,000 people."
"Five thousand to fifty thousand? Come to Jun'er, Uncle Jia will give you a good look. You Uncle Jia and I don't have three heads and six arms, you have to help me after I return to the palace, Chen Qing's fact." When Jia Fu heard Chai Xianjun's questions, he was very interested, and he got up directly from the bed.
Chai Xianjun nodded very seriously after listening, and then patted his chest: "Uncle Jia, don't worry, this matter is guaranteed, and it will be done beautifully."
"Jun'er, how do you know that we're back?" Jia Fu looked at Chai Xianjun suspiciously, they came back, as if they hadn't told anyone else.
Chai Xianjun heard this and walked to the window. Lifted the curtains and laughed: "Uncle Jia said that you are lazy, you still don't believe it, you look at the time outside."
"Does this have anything to do with you coming?". A beam of sunlight shone in, and Jia Fu involuntarily covered his eyes with his hands.
Chai Xianjun saw Jia Fu covering his eyes with his hands, and he was overjoyed: "I estimate that at this time, my father and master should have already started to discuss government affairs."
"Brother Sheng went to the palace? So you're just, sneaking in." Jia Fu looked at Chai Xianjun and asked suspiciously.
Chai Xianjun hurriedly shook his head in defense: "I came here in a bright light, not secretly." Father, Emperor and Mother, they all know".
"Your father and mother asked you to come? Then why are you disturbing me to sleep". Jia Fu got up directly and asked Chai Xianjun.
Chai Xianjun made an embarrassed expression: "It's not that a person is too bored, and he just heard the snoring in the room, so he ......."
"I have a headache, I can't stand you anymore. You play slowly by yourself, I'll go eat first". When Jia Fu heard this, he only felt a toothache, and hurriedly went out to wash.
In the imperial study of the palace, Chai Yu and Liu Sheng talked very happily, and at this time Wang An came over: "Liu Sheng, you really make it easy for me to find, but I didn't expect you to be here."
"Wang An, how do you know that he is back?". Chai Yu saw Wang An coming and asked suspiciously.
Seeing that the two were puzzled, Wang An hurriedly explained: "Just now I went to teach the prince, and when I learned that the prince had gone to Liu's mansion, I knew that Liu Sheng would definitely come back."
"You are grateful for your hard work." Liu Sheng saw Wang An and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Chai Yu patted his head lightly, revealing an expression of sudden realization: "Look at this memory, it should have been taught by you today, no wonder you will find him back."
"Liu Sheng, can you talk to us. These months, a detailed experience in the Northwest". Wang An couldn't help the anger in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
Liu Sheng smiled slightly, and recounted in detail what happened on the way from Chang'an to the northwest.
Wang An felt very happy after hearing this: "Now your prestige is far away in the northwest, which makes people envious."
"If you Wang Anruo are really envious, Sima Zhao's suggestion some time ago, you can seriously consider it." Chai Yu saw the envy on Wang An's face, remembered what Sima Zhao said that day, and joked.
After Wang An heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I am a literati and not a military general." Bringing 5,000 troops and attacking 50,000 enemy troops can only be imagined."
"Could it be that Liu Sheng is a military general?" Chai Yu saw Wang An's rebuttal, and then asked rhetorically.
Wang An was speechless, Liu Sheng shook his head with a smile: "Me too, it's just a fluke."
"Liu Sheng, how did you think of giving up the Nameless Mountain Range in the first place. I guess Li Hao will not be able to believe it when he learns this news." Wang An didn't want to, he kept entangled in that topic, and hurriedly diverted it.
Chai Yu nodded, remembering the battle report, and with some admiration: "Li Hao is also a generation of heroes, and he knows the way to advance and retreat. Upon learning that we had abandoned the Nameless Mountains, he immediately swung westward. At the same time, a few days ago, a letter of state came, and the envoys of Western Xia will come to Beijing to worship in the near future."
"The envoys of Western Xia entered Beijing? I don't know what the situation in the northwest is." Liu Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard Li Hao's dispatch. I didn't expect it to come so quickly, almost with him a matter of front and back. Western Xia knew it in another time and space, and this was a master of deception.
Wang An heard Liu Sheng ask about the situation in the northwest, and couldn't help but praise again: "Give up the nameless mountain range and give Western Xia a chance to breathe." Staying in the Western Xia at the front can, to a certain extent, maintain the balance of the situation in the northwest."
"Your Majesty, don't forget the plan we discussed at the beginning." Liu Sheng shook his head slightly, leaving the Western Xia in front, and the Uighurs were not threatening. If Liao wanted to move troops in the northwest, he had to take care of Western Xia. If the situation in the northwest is stable, the imperial court can concentrate on planning the westward expansion and restore the Longyou capital as soon as possible.
Chai Yu heard the two words Xituo, and his eyes lit up: "I see, I ...... so."
"Westward Expansion Plan?". Wang An looked at the two of them suspiciously, he had never heard of it.
Chai Yu saw that Wang An was puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "When the battle for the storage position came to an end, I went to look for Liu Sheng, and in his study, I saw thousands of words sprinkled with Yangyang, which can be called a policy to determine the country."
"Your Majesty praises falsely, and I dare not be ashamed." Liu Sheng heard Chai Yu praise so much, and hurriedly humbled himself.
Chai Yu waved his hand, saw Wang An pondering, and continued to explain: "I am the head of the court, and I am in the sailor and the foot pawn. If the sailors can conquer the endless sea, and the foot soldiers can open the Silk Road to the west, then the prosperous era will come. And the first step of Xituo is to restore the Longyou Protectorate."
"Longyou is the protector of the house, so it is. Now that Li Hao is marching westward, the Uighurs and Western Xia will surely fight bloodily. And Liao is blocked by Western Xia, at this time, as long as we defeat Tibet, then Longyou will protect the mansion, and it will be at your fingertips." The more Wang An thought about it, the smoother his thinking became.
Chai Yu thought of something, and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that the military and financial resources are insufficient now."
"As long as there is Xixia Ding in front, we can slowly figure it out." Liu Sheng sighed when he saw Chai Yu and persuaded him.
Wang An nodded approvingly and looked at Chai Yu: "Your Majesty's top priority is to make the country rich and the people live in peace, which is the way of the king."
"If the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country will be rich and the people will be strong. Your Majesty, why should you worry, you can't create the foundation of all things." Liu Sheng followed Wang An's words and continued to admonish. Unleashing a war, regardless of the outcome, is a heavy burden for the country.
Chai Yu saw that the two of them had a straight face, and knew what they were worried about: "Yu is not the faint king who spares no effort to the people, and Chai Yu dare not forget the words of the two." May we work together to create a glorious and prosperous world".
"I am willing to assist Your Majesty and create a prosperous world together." When Wang An and Liu Sheng saw Chai Yu's statement, a sense of pride rose in their hearts and hurriedly agreed.
