Zhang Xuan is the mentality of the superior to calm Li Yuan's mind, he knows what Li Yuan is taboo? What do you care about?

A sentence of giving up the rescue is enough to make Li Yuan, who is worried about the fate of the copper and iron stock, angry, and a sentence of understatement to support the army and stand on his own will also make the extremely suspicious Li Yuan feel murderous.

In the Wude Palace, several Xiangguo gathered in the imperial study of the Son of Heaven, urgently discussing the crisis in the north, just a few days ago, the Tang army in the south advanced on all fronts, occupying all the territory that originally belonged to Xiao Miao, from Baling County on the Yangtze River to Jiaozhi County in the south, opening thousands of miles, doubling the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan tasted the sweetness of the imperial taste for the first time, and then asked him to hand over most of the territory to the Northern Sui according to the original agreement, he couldn't do it.

He would rather tear up the agreement and bear the name of untrustworthiness than hand over the territory he has acquired.

The crisis in the north has nothing to do with the south, and the concessions of the south must not be exchanged for the tranquility of the north, this is the principle set by Li Yuan, which cannot be discussed, this point was clearly made clear to everyone at the beginning, so the imperial study was very quiet.

Everyone knows that the crisis in the north is due to the breakdown of negotiations and the perfidy of the saints, and if you want the Northern Sui army to withdraw from Diaoyin County, the only way to do it is to resume negotiations and hand over the land of Changsha and other five counties and Guangnan Province to the Northern Sui, otherwise this knot will be difficult to untie.

Li Yuan saw that the room was very silent, and he was really unhappy in his heart: "Since we are asking everyone to discuss together, everyone will talk about it, not me alone, you are listening, what is the point of discussion?" ”

At this time, Chen Shuda opened his mouth to everyone: "Your Majesty is worried about the copper and iron in the warehouse of Rulin County is for a certain reason, you may not know yet, the copper ingots in Zuozang have been exhausted, and the coinage has been forced to stop, we are in urgent need of copper than ever, pig iron is also a big problem, at present, Chang'an inventory of pig iron is less than 500,000 catties, some people may say that Bashu has inventory, but the five million catties of pig iron in Bashu inventory have been used to prepare for the war in Nanjun, and the consumption is almost exhausted, there are still six million catties of pig iron in Jiangxia, but the road is far away, It is difficult to transport to Chang'an, unlike the pig iron of Diaoyin County that can be sent to Guanzhong directly through the Yellow River, everyone, the situation is very difficult, so the Holy Lord urgently summoned everyone to discuss. ”

With Chen Shuda's brick-throwing and jade, everyone began to express their attitude, Dou Jin took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, can you show Xi Shiling's distress letter to Weichen again?" ”

Li Yuan handed the eagle letter that had been copied on the imperial case to Dou Jin, who read it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, this is just Xi Shiling's one-sided words, and you can't believe it too much." ”

"Why?"

"Wechen has been to Rulin County, and knows that the city wall of Rulin County is dilapidated, and it will collapse in a battle, and the three thousand defenders of Xi Shiling can't hold the county seat at all, and the reason why the Sui army has not attacked the county seat for a long time is obviously a strategy to besiege the city and send reinforcements, Wechen thinks that General Duan's prudence is understandable, as for wanting to be the king of Shuofang, Yichen thinks it is even more nonsense."

Dou Jin and Li Shimin have a very good relationship, he knows that Duan Decao is Li Shimin's person, and Li Shimin is not here today, so he must stand up for Li Shimin.

Li Yuan knew in his heart that Dou Jin was whitewashing Duan Decao, and he couldn't help but snort and said, "If you are cautious, you can treat my edict as waste paper!" If you are cautious, you can not send troops and not save Rulin County? So what do I do with these armies? Everyone should be cautious, and when Zhang Xuan comes to Chang'an, he will cut off my head with a knife, is this the result of prudence? ”

Li Yuan's tone was obviously full of monstrous anger, Dou Jin was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, then Liu Wenjing bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, Rong Weichen will say a few words." ”

Li Yuan restrained his anger, nodded and said, "Liu Xiangguo, please speak!" ”

"Weichen believes that it is true that the Sui army besieged the city and sent reinforcements, but the essence of the siege and reinforcements was to surprise the reinforcements with a sneak attack or surprise attack, but this gave us time to rescue, from this point of view, the Sui army besieged but did not fight is not necessarily a bad thing.

For the reinforcements, as long as the intention of the Sui army is recognized, then they can take countermeasures, march for the battalion step by step, and the siege of the city will be cracked, and General Duan is unwilling to send troops, not because the Sui army has any strategy, but because he is afraid in his heart, afraid that he will be defeated by the Sui army, which is the fundamental reason. ”

Liu Wenjing's analysis was very clear and thorough, Li Yuan nodded, "What does Liu Xiangguo mean?" ”

"Weichen thinks that Rulin County must be saved, but how to fight General Duan can decide for himself, and His Majesty can send him another handwritten edict to clarify the principles and give him power."

"Like what powers are given to him?" Li Yuan was a little unimpressed in his heart, he was extremely sensitive to the word 'power'.

"Your Majesty, you can give General Duan the power to recruit troops, since there are 30,000 miners, you can completely arm them......"

"Never!"

Without waiting for Liu Wenjing to finish speaking, Pei Lin walked out, saluted Li Yuan, and said solemnly: "Since ancient times, feudal towns have been prone to chaos, so there will be various institutional constraints, and the general who leads the army on one side must not let go of the right to conscript.

Once the army is conscripted, it needs money and grain, if the imperial court can't transport the money and grain, they will collect money and grain locally, which is equivalent to the expansion of financial power, and the need for personnel management, then it is inevitable to recruit civilians, and it is also necessary to manage generals, and it is inevitable to promote henchmen, Your Majesty, isn't this the way Zhang Xuan walked? Back then in Beihai County, wasn't it because Yang Guang gave him the right to conscript, that he finally lost control, and he had to take precautions! ”

Liu Wenjing said angrily: "General Duan has been in the northwest for many years and is loyal to the imperial court, Pei Xiangguo asked himself, will he follow Zhang Xuan's path?" ”

Pei Lin said coldly: "That's because he hasn't drunk the poison of power, once we give him the right to conscript and let him taste power, do you think he will give power back?" General Xi's impeachment of him is suspected of supporting the army and standing on his own, and he will never come out of nowhere, he must have something to hide from the imperial court. ”

Pei Lian's words touched Li Yuan's heart, isn't he like this? After getting Xiao Miao's territory, how could he still hand them over to Bei Sui again, really gave Duan Decao power, how could Duan Decao hand them over again, I am afraid that he really cultivated a second Zhang Xuan.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan said coldly: "It's not a wise move to rush to expand power before the first battle is fought, what I need now is an attitude, if you hear the drums, you will advance, and when you hear the gold, you will retreat, and the military order is heavier than the mountain, this is the quality of the general, not to treat my edict as waste paper, the so-called 'will be outside, the king's order is not subject to it', I have never recognized it." ”

Liu Wenjing was helpless, so she had to nod, "Your Majesty is also reasonable, the key is to send troops, and it is indeed inappropriate to be afraid of the generals before they fight!" ”

Li Yuan immediately said: "I used the Sword of Heaven to order him to send troops to rescue Rulin County, if he still refuses to fight, then my sword can no longer tolerate him!" ”

........

Li Yuan was so anxious that in order to force Duan Decao to send troops, he did not hesitate to use Shang Fang's sword, which was a more severe measure than the holy decree, such as the arrival of the Son of Heaven in person.

That night, a group of cavalry escorted the imperial historian Cheng Duo and carried the sword of Shang Fang to Shuofang County day and night, and two days later, the proclamation team arrived in Yanlu County.

Duan Decao heard that the proclamator came from Chang'an, and hurriedly took Liang Li out of the city to greet him, the imperial history is called Cheng Duo, more than thirty years old, is the imperial history of the imperial history of the servant, he shoulders a heavy responsibility, but also knows the anxiety of the Son of Heaven, without waiting to enter the city, he raised the sword of the Son of Heaven and shouted to Duan Decao: "The sword of the Son of Heaven is here, Duan Decao receives the command of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Duan Decao's heart was excited, it turned out to be Shang Fang's sword, what happened?

He hurriedly knelt down, "Weichen Duan Decao knocks to welcome the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven!" ”

The generals in the back also knelt down one after another, and Cheng Duo said sharply: "Spread the word of the Son of Heaven, the situation in Rulin County is critical, and it is urgent to be rescued, Duan Decao, the governor of Gyeongju, neglected the holy will, ignored the national disaster, and was specially removed from his post as the governor of Gyeongzhou, temporarily retained General Youyiwei, and ordered him to immediately send troops to rescue Rulin County, make meritorious atonements, and order the imperial historian Cheng Duo to hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, supervise the three armies, and admire this!" ”

Duan Decao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Cheng Duo said coldly: "General Duan still refuses to accept the order?" ”

Duan Decao kowtowed, "Weichen takes the order!" ”

Only then did Cheng Duo soften his tone and said: "General Duan, this is the sword of the Son of Heaven Shang Fang, the first time this dynasty has used it, the situation is very serious!" ”

Duan Decao sighed, "There is a misunderstanding here, I have already sent someone to Beijing to deliver a letter to the Ministry of War, didn't the saint see it?" ”

"General Duan, I don't know if the Son of Heaven has seen your letter, but I want to tell you that the Son of Heaven is worried about the copper and iron of Rulin County, and is extremely angry at your refusal to send troops, you must immediately send troops to rescue Rulin County, otherwise I will use Shang Fang's sword to directly remove you from all military positions, ask for guilt on the spot, and General Liang will be the chief general."

Duan Decao asked in a low voice after a while: "I have already sent troops and been defeated by the Sui army, doesn't the Son of Heaven know?" ”

Cheng Duo stepped forward to help Duan Decao and whispered in his ear: "General, don't explain again, the situation is already very serious, and the Son of Heaven is beginning to suspect that you are suspected of supporting the army and standing on your own." ”

"Ahh Duan Decao was stunned all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
