Chapter 180 The Justification of War

The Tiance regime was open-minded, and generally did not guard against the mouths of the people, and after the people got used to it, they gradually became bold and outspoken. The setting of the correction desk biquge.info the full-text ad-free novels are all in the Aishang Novel Network, in addition to the correction and evaluation of the imperial history, there is also a place called "Injustice Altar", on which there is a wall for any people to stick things on it, such an atmosphere and setting make the political zhì within the Tiance regime more clear than other places in the world, I don't know how many corrupt officials have been found out in this way, and at the same time, it has also deterred many potential corruption.

However, everything is a double-edged sword, and with the opening of the people's atmosphere, it is the criticism that the imperial historians dare to say anything. Even the affairs of the military are discussed.

"Do we still need to fight now?"

It is true that the political affairs in Shijin and Houshu are not as clear as those in Tiance, but after all, they can already go through, as long as the price of bribery can be done, and the price of bribery can be passed on to goods, especially luxury goods, and the price is still not worried about sales, as long as the safety of the business is ensured.

But if there is to be a war, then it is difficult to say. It is true that if the Tiance army can establish a unified empire and achieve full Qingming rule, it will certainly be a heavenly era for merchants, but that is a bit far away, rather than hoping for that, it is better to bless the current secession form, and for some big merchants, húnluàn and secession are actually a favorable environment for them to make huge profits.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Mai also had to use troops externally, and not only was there external resistance, but also different opinions emerged internally—and it was a strong opposition force.

During the expedition to the west last year, despite the great difficulties, the peasants, herdsmen, and merchants under the Tiance regime supported it, because everyone knew the threat of Satuk, and they knew what the coexistence of the two powerful enemies of the Eastern Khitan and Western Hui was meant for a nascent regime. But now that the western frontier has been resolved, even Hedong has been incorporated into the territory, the trade routes of India have been opened, and the Bouweich brothers have come to add to the cake, there is no need to worry about the west, and the expansion of the east is really unnecessary in the eyes of many merchants.

Especially in this prosperous season, the big xiǎo traders are afraid of war, if Zhang Mai captures Guanzhong, the most important section of the Silk Road will definitely be broken in the next half a year, and the western merchants from India, Tianfang, and even Egypt and Europe are coming in high spirits this time, if they make a lot of money and return, they will definitely drive their hometown to the east, and even drive the revival of the entire Silk Road. If, on the contrary, they return at a loss after the Silk Road is fully opened, the blow to the confidence of those who come after them will be incalculable.

Merchants have been suffering from a long period of recession in the past two years, and they urgently need a stable environment to recoup the money they have lost in the past two years, so there are voices of opposition to the war everywhere from the shop to the correction desk. On the whole, the voices against the war were still relatively restrained, and everyone did not dare to directly deny Zhang Mai, but only in the form of a "petition", hoping that the marshal could understand the situation of the Xiǎo people.

――――――――――――――

"This is the people's heart! The people's heart! In Liangzhou Liu Ling's residence, Zheng Wanda said.

Opposite him was Yang Dingguo, a veteran who had officially retreated to the second line after Zhang Mai's return, and was no longer directly involved in military and political affairs, but only retained the power of a staff officer.

For Chang'an, Yang Dingguo has greater ambitions than others, that is where their generation once did not even dare to dream, but now it is close at hand, but Yang Dingguo is still in line with the attitude of being responsible for this regime, forcibly suppressing this impulse, he also believes that under the current situation, it is unlikely that the Tiance army will be able to obtain Guanzhong - even if it does, I am afraid that it will have to pay a considerable price!

"Lao Zheng, don't worry." Yang Dingguo said: "I will definitely try my best to persuade the marshal." We've been fighting for years, and now we need to take a break. Although Chang'an is important, we can't want a crushing victory! ”

――――――――――――――

In another secret room, an old man who seemed older than Yang Dingguo and Zheng Wanda was coughing, and he turned out to be Cao Yuanshen.

"Judging from the reaction of Shu Kingdom, Meng Chang is only afraid that he will try." Cao Yuanshen said: "The Khitan peep, you don't need to inquire to know, the situation in the Central Plains has been decided, and now Yelu Deguang is just staring at our Tiance army, once we have even one extreme flaw here, the Khitan cavalry will rush like cháo water!" And this time it's not Jelu Shuogu, I'm afraid it's Jerod Light! It is necessary to defeat the Khitan, the Central Plains, and Shu with the power of Xiliang...... It's something that has never happened before! Moreover, our Cao family has not held military power until now, even if we are lucky enough to win in the end, our Cao family will not have military merits. ”

Cao Yuanzhong nodded and said, "If you can still win this situation...... Unless the marshal is a god! ”

Although Tiance is strong now, it is the military prestige that is strong, and the financial strength and military strength are less than 20% of the entire China.

――――――――――――――

In the east city of Liangzhou City, Wei Renpu stayed in his new mansion, which was the residence of a wealthy merchant, the rich merchant dedicated it to Zhang Mai, and Zhang Mai transferred it to Wei Renpu, after a night of celebration, Wei Renpu was very restrained, not drunk, and today he was in the study with Fan Qian, his head was very clear.

"The Eastern Expedition to the Central Plains, hún a China, although it is your ambition and mine," Fan said, "but now is not the time." ”

Wei Renpu nodded and said: "The best strategy is to wait for changes to get a glimpse of the gap in the Central Plains." Now that there is no gap in the Central Plains, if you force an attack, in the end it will only be a waste of national strength. The most unbearable situation is like the defeat of Liu Beiyiling, a better situation, but I am afraid that it will also be like Wuhou's Northern Expedition, hard work and no success! ”

Fan Zhen said: "Feng Guolao came to the secret letter from Luoyang, and he also hopes that we will persuade the marshal not to raise troops at this time, because although Shi Rebellion has a bad reputation, but the people of the Central Plains still have doubts about our army, and the feudal towns have the heart of resistance, and the Shu State is pulling our back tuǐ, and the Khitan is even more eyeing it, this is really not a good opportunity for the Eastern Crusade!" However, looking at the marshal's meaning, it seems that he still insisted on the eastward crusade. ”

Wei Renpu Shen said: "We must be consistent with the marshal. I expected that there would be opposition to it, and if we all joined the opposing camp, it would make the marshal feel betrayed and separated, and I was afraid that he would be rebellious. In case the military is necessary in the end, he will not trust us anymore, and there will be no one to help him plan the details, but he will do bad things. But when we approve, we have to give tactful advice! ”

――――――――――――――

In Liangzhou City, Xue Mansion, Zheng Xiang was very happy that her husband was able to come back again, but she was not happy that her husband came back as soon as Lu Jialing followed, she walked away with a displeased face, and she did not have the consciousness of being the wife of the general of the Tiance Army at all.

Looking at Mrs. Xue's back, Lu Jialing said a little embarrassedly: "I came abruptly, I'm afraid that Mrs. will complain about me in the future!" ”

Xue Fu smiled: "It's okay. She is Sister Xiǎo's temper, in fact, she has no bad intentions, she has such a temper for everyone, Brother Lu doesn't mind. ”

Lu Jialing smiled slightly and said, "To get back to the point, I came today to exchange some opinions with Brother Xue, so that I can use it as a reference for the conference in the coming day." ”

"Coming to the Japanese convention? What convention? Xue Fu asked.

"It's not decided yet." Lu Jialing said: "But the marshal recalled you back to Liangzhou, and it is expected that it will not just be to reunite Xue Dudu with his wife." ”

Xue Fu laughed, and then heard Lu Jialing say: "And I heard that Brother Murong, Brother Xi and Tang Renxiao are also here." Xue Fu's face changed slightly, and he said, "What?" Tang Renxiao Lu Jialing said his full name, and the other two, Xue Fu asked, "Which Murong brother?" Which Brother Xi? ”

Lu Jialing said: "Murong Chūn Hua, Xi Sheng!" ”

Xue Fu was taken aback, quickly closed the mén household, and said in a low voice: "They are also here?" Could it be that the marshal really intends to go against the trend? ”

The cavalry system personally commanded by Zhang Mai - including the Longxiang Iron Armored Cavalry Regiment represented by Shi Ba and the cavalry cavalry of the New Army represented by Yang Xin Zhe Congshi - was the most powerful, but the Long Xiang Iron Armored Cavalry Regiment was divided into a part of the Jiāo Pole at Shiba, while the other part of the Expedition to the West and returned to the east, very tired, with the recovery of their Jīng strength, that is, the recovery of the cavalry strength of the Tiance Army.

But within the Tiance Tang Army, there is another cavalry group that is really strong enough to compete with the cavalry system personally led by Zhang Mai, that is, the Yingyang Army under Yang Yi! According to Xue Fu, Yang Yi also invested considerable strength in training a new army, and the new army plus the originally extremely powerful Yingyang cavalry, this combat power at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains is really immeasurable! It is precisely because of this that Zhang Mai said that the Tianshan cavalry was his killer weapon!

And the infantry group of the Tiance Tang Army, needless to say, is Xi Sheng's Modao Tomahawk troops! Last winter, the Modao Tomahawk Formation that appeared on the Tiger Slope was actually fake, if Zhang Mai really had a Modao Tomahawk Formation at that time, then that battle would not have been fought like that! As for the corps under Guo Luo and Guo Wei, the combat effectiveness is also quite strong, but the troops under the control of the two of them are all comprehensive troops, and they all have cavalry, but they are not good at cavalry.

Murong Chūn Hua has always been Yang Yi's deputy, and in many cases can be used as Yang Yi's doppelganger, and now that Murong Chūn Hua and Xi Sheng secretly appeared in Liangzhou, what it means is self-explanatory, Xue Fu will naturally be surprised when he hears it!

"Could it be ......" Xue Fu said in a low voice: "The marshal really has such a great determination?" ”

Lu Jialing said: "What do you think?" ”

Xue Fushen said: "With the marshal's style of using reality and fiction together, he is likely to ......"

"What is it likely?"

Xue Fu lowered his voice the lower: "Everyone knows that where Yang Dudu is located, is where the Yingyang Army is located, so as long as Yang Dudu's military flag is in Xiǎo Jinshan every day, there will be no internal trouble at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, and Mobei is only afraid and does not dare to cross Xiǎo Jinshan lightly - even if Luntai is actually just an empty shell!" ”

Lu Jialing said: "But if Yang Dudu is in Luntai, and Jīng Rui under his command has come to Liangzhou with Murong Deputy Dudu......"

If that's the case, it's a secret military move, I'm afraid that the Khitan, Shi Jin, and Shu will misestimate the actual strength of the Tiance Army in Liangzhou!

Let the leaders appear in the open, while the actual army is attacking from the shadows - this kind of thing, Zhang Mai used it once when he annexed the Guiyi army! It's just that at that time, Zhang Mai used himself to attract the attention of the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Huifu, and after Xue's reinstatement of Shazhou. And this time?

Xue Fu sighed low and said, "If Brother Murong really comes...... Then, the three major cavalry groups of our Tiance Army, as well as the strongest infantry group, will all gather in Liangzhou! ”

Long Xiang Iron Armored Army, Eagle Yang Cavalry, Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment, plus a real Mo Sword Battle Axe Formation! What a gorgeous lineup! Of course, in addition to these four major corps, there is also a powerful long-range attack system, a powerful light cavalry guerrilla system, and a powerful auxiliary attack system!

If such a powerful force stepped into the Guanzhong Plain, would Shi Jingjiao really be able to resist it?

Even Xue Fu, a high-level general within the Tiance Army, took a while to digest it after hearing this top-secret news, and Lu Jialing said: "I came to visit today to ask Brother Xue a question. ”

"What's the problem?"

Lu Jialing said: "If the war is a big war and the Shu Kingdom is attacked, can Brother Xue choke my southwest rear?" ”

Xue Fu Shen yín and said: "Longxi is conducive to cavalry combat!" Shu is the king of Shoucheng and the army of Chengping, if the marshal wants me to lead the sweat and blood cavalry regiment to attack the Sword Pavilion and Hanzhong, to be honest, I am not sure, but if Shu dares to attack! Hmph, even if the other party has several times the number of troops, I am confident that I will ask them to come and destroy as many as they want! ”

Lu Jialing was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, then I will know how to respond in the coming day." ”

――――――――――――――

And at this time, in Zhang Mai's Shuai Mansion, two people appeared in the night, two people who should not have appeared.

Both of them are middle-aged, one is a wise general, the other is a brave general, after years of conquest, they have already precipitated a stunning temperament! Maybe they are not as prosperous as the newly rising Yang Xin and Zhi Conglai, but everyone has to admit that they are the middle of the Tiance Tang Army!

Yang Xin and Zhi Congshi stood behind Zhang Mai, and when they saw these two people, they couldn't help but move a little in their hearts! They immediately knew that today's meeting was top secret, because the appearance of these two people was really unexpected!

Murong Chūn Hua and Xi Sheng!

After the two met, Zhang Mai spoke, his voice was very low and slow: "When you arrive, my heart is also settled!" This time, Yang Yi and I have been planning for a long time, and at present, only Yang Yi and I know the whole plan, Guo Luo knows part, Zheng Wei knows part, Xue Fu is there, I will not inform him until a while, in addition, Yang Yi should have told you part of it before you set off, and the two Xiǎo guys around me will also know a little bit tonight. Of course, after a while, Khitan and Shi Jingjiao will also know, but by the time they all know, it will be too late! ”

Yang Xin and Zhi Congshi couldn't help but beat wildly when they heard these words, thinking to themselves what a secret plan this was, so secret that even Guo Luo couldn't know the whole story, and the more secret this plan was, the bigger the scale of this war would be! Even, it is unknown whether this will be a life-and-death battle for the Tiance Tang Army!

"I heard that now in Liangzhou, they are not in favor of war." Murong Chūn Hua said.

"Leave them alone!" Zhang Mai waved his hand stiffly and said, "No matter how the shape changes, those are all illusions!" Merchants are short-sighted in their pursuit of profit and do not care about them; Those who have already been given official titles are also inclined to defend the city, and if I listen to them, I will only be in peace! This big battle that will shake the world will definitely be held as scheduled. I don't have a definite chance of winning this battle, but I believe it's worth the risk! And I believe that I will definitely achieve the final victory, because I am Zhang Mai, and we are Datang! ”

The two middle-aged men and the two young men listened with enthusiasm, and said in a low voice in unison: "Yes, we will definitely be able to win, because we are Datang!" ”
