Chapter 266: It's not a solution
However, soon, Fang Xuanling regained his previous calm, and he asked Prince Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what was the result of last night's inner court meeting?" How are the ministers going to rescue His Majesty? ”
The crown prince replied: "Lord Wei Zhengwei suggested that we should first determine whether my father was in the city of Mayi, and then rescue my father as much as possible and rush to the aid of Mayi. ”
Fang Xuanling asked again: "What kind of help?" ”
The crown prince replied: "Lord Lu of the Ministry of War thinks that if only the auxiliary general Li Jing is sent to lead the army of the four guards to aid Mayi, the Turkic Jieli Khan will inevitably target the auxiliary general and increase his troops in Mayi again. At that time, the Turks and our Datang will form a confrontation under the city of Mayi, and the strength of the Turks is far greater than that of my Datang. The siege of Mayi will inevitably become more difficult to solve, and the situation in Mayi will inevitably become more complicated. Therefore, Gu decided to personally lead the Eight Guards army stationed in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to Mayi to rush to help, and the Four Guards army led by Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, united to rescue his father from Mayi City in one fell swoop. ”
Fang Xuanling was taken aback and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the decision made by the Inner Court Council?" Do the ministers all support it? ”
The crown prince replied: "Fang Xiang, this is the result of our discussion, and the ministers all support me in doing so. ”
Fang Xuanling said coldly: "If I say that at the meeting of the Tang Dynasty, such a decision was made. Then there is only one possibility, some people are not familiar with military affairs and do not know what the consequences of doing this are; And some people are harboring evil intentions, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go and make mistakes, and will put my His Majesty the Tang Emperor, His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, and my Datang Society in a situation where there is no return. ”
Empress Eldest Sun and Prince Chengqian were suddenly shocked, and they looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise.
Fang Xuanling analyzed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, judging from the news sent back by Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, the Turkic Jieli Khan did not detect the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Jieli Khan would definitely not have let the stubborn and powerful lead an army of 20,000 to attack Mayi." Instead, he will inevitably pour all his troops, surround him layer by layer, and capture and kill His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. And Jieli Khan let Zhi lose his strength to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Mayi, there must be an unknown purpose, they attacked Mayi, but it just happened that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in the city of Mayi. If we remain quiet, with the wisdom and courage of His Majesty the Tang Emperor and the superb means of King Yong'an, maybe they still have a chance to break through, but if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally leads a large army to rescue His Majesty. Then it will inevitably make the deeds of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty known to the world. The Turkic Jieli Khan learned that he would inevitably capture Mayi at all costs. The day the army arrived, it was the time when the city of Mayi was broken. And if the city of Mayi is broken, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be captured and killed by the Turkic Jieli Khan. ”
Fang Xuanling's analysis made Prince Chengqian's heart tremble, and he asked Fang Xuanling with a little horror: "Fang Xiang, you said that, Lone almost killed his father?" ”
Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you personally lead the army there, you will not only harm the emperor. You're going to hurt yourself, huh? ”
Prince Chengqian asked in surprise: "Lone will not only harm my father, but also myself?" ”
Fang Xuanling continued to analyze: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you personally lead the army to aid Ma Yi, you will expose the activities of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It caused an accident to my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, the entire Tang Dynasty and the opposition will say that you deliberately exposed the whereabouts of His Majesty the Tang Emperor because you grabbed the throne, causing an accident to happen to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They'll hold you accountable for it. And some people can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and ascend to the throne; If your father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, returns safely, Your Majesty may not be able to accept your affection. On the contrary, they may suspect that you are going to kill him. So no matter what the result is, your mouth can't tell. ”
Prince Chengqian gasped and suddenly realized: "So that's the case." Na Gu immediately issued an edict to let the ten guards stationed in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, return to their respective barracks and not send troops. ”
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't send troops." If His Royal Highness really does not send troops, in case the city of Mayi is broken, those people in the court with ulterior motives will jump out and accuse His Highness of sitting and watching His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suffer, and there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the danger of others and falling into the ground. ”
Prince Chengqian was so anxious that he was sweating, stomped his feet and said irritably: "Fang Xiang, now Lone is not sending troops, and it is not if he does not send troops, so what should Lone do?" ”
Empress Changsun, who had been silent, also spoke on the side and said: "Lord Fang, you are the old minister of the Zhuguo, the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, Cheng Qian is young and has little experience, please give Cheng Qian an idea!" ”
Fang Xuanling was contemplative and silent for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, Fang Xuanling said in a heavy tone: "Queen Qiyu, the minister has no idea. ”
Empress Eldest Sun was taken aback, looked at Fang Xuanling in a daze and asked, "Lord Fang, is it really hopeless?" Can we only let Ma Yi fall? Can I only let my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty be captured and killed by the Turkic Jieli Khan? ”
Fang Xuanling replied: "If I were a doctor, in the face of such a patient, I would have to leave with the medicine box." ”
Empress Changsun's eyes were dark, she stretched out a hand to her forehead, and almost fainted, Prince Chengqian hurriedly supported Empress Changsun, and she was also in tears.
Fang Xuanling looked at the mother and son, sighed and said, "If there is a way, I still have a home remedy, but I don't know if it works?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun and Prince Chengqian seemed to see hope all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Fang, please speak." ”
Fang Xuanling said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can order Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, to directly attack the Jieli Khan's tent in Dingxiang from Bingzhou, surround Wei to rescue Zhao, and let Jieli Khan mobilize people from all walks of life to return to the Dingxiang Khan's tent, maybe Ma Yi can take a breath." His Majesty will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to withdraw his troops and flee from Mayi. ”
As soon as the words fell, Empress Eldest Sun exclaimed: "Surround Wei to save Zhao, a good idea!" At this time, this is the only way to use. ”
Prince Chengqian looked confused, not knowing what was good about Fang Xuanling's strategy?
Empress Changsun said to the crown prince Chengqian: "This strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao can not only solve the crisis in front of you, but also believe that my majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be able to take advantage of the gap between the stubbornness and the strength to withdraw the army, and the auspicious people will escape from Mayi." The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and I am afraid that only Fang Xiang can come up with such a perfect solution. (To be continued......)
