"The Turks have always been the confidants of my Great Sui court, and this time the Turks dared to attack on a large scale, but they were killing themselves. This time, the imperial court gathered 500,000 heavy troops, and ordered all the soldiers to inevitably exterminate him in a battle. Our Youzhou Mansion is the East Road War Zone, what do you think? Yi Feng first swept his gaze to Taisun Xima Xue Daoheng.

The 59-year-old new grandson Xima is the leader of today's literary world, and he is known as the most accomplished and famous poet at the time. He was born in a bureaucratic family in Hedong, although his parents died when he was six years old, he was specialized and studious, and he went through the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties, and was once a leader of the literary world with Li Delin and Lu Sidao. Xue Daoheng participated in the pacification of the rebellion of the three governors, the battle of Pingchen, etc., and also served as the inner history of the court and the central government, and the highest was the deputy governor of the internal history province. Especially because of its high talent and prestige in Shilin, it is a good friend of the prime ministers and ministers of the court, as well as the princes and kings. However, because he offended Yang Guang, he was finally demoted from the dynasty and exiled to Lingnan. At the end of last year, he just returned to Beijing, and this time he was specially awarded by the emperor to wash the horse for the grandson.

However, Xue Daoheng, who was born in a family, was gifted and precocious, and became a master of a generation of articles when he became an adult. But for Yi Feng, although this person was demoted and exiled, his identity as a leader in the literary world should not be underestimated. He can enter the Taisun Mansion, Yi Feng is very welcome, for this person, even if it is for him, he is willing. This is not because Yi Feng also admires his talent, but the so-called Qianjin City Bone, such a famous person is well supplied, and it can also attract and recruit more literati to work under the account in the future. Speaking of which. Now the six bachelors of the eight houses newly arrived in Taisun Mansion all belong to Xue Daoheng's junior protégé level. Although we have worked together, we have to nod and bow down when we meet.

However, it was not as expected. Xue Daoheng, everyone says that he is good at writing and planning, although he has done secretarial work all his life, but he is very political and far-sighted and military strategy, but he is not good at making a living. In modern popular words, this person has a very high IQ, but his EQ is a little worse, so he unknowingly offended Yang Guang at the beginning. When Xue Daoheng was in the Northern Qi Dynasty. There were many far-sighted strategies to resist the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately the Northern Qi Dynasty was corrupt at that time, and no one adopted it at all. Yi Feng has also been famous for Xue Daoheng for a long time, as soon as he saw that the emperor transferred him to his side, he immediately sent his own intelligence agency to collect his information with all his might, and after seeing many of Xue Daoheng's performances when he was an official in Northern Qi, he couldn't help but sigh for such a talent. Now that he is by his side, of course he can't just let him be a secretary and write some flowery rhetorical articles.

The grandson washes the horse in the same way as the prince washes the horse. They are all officials who assist the prince, teach the prince in political affairs, and are liberal arts and sciences. Belonging to the chief of the Economic Bureau of the Sixth Bureau of the Taisun Mansion, there are six according to the rule, and the emperor selected four for Yi Feng. Li Gang, Xue Daoheng, Bao Kai and Wang Ru, Li Gang is still in the East Palace, Bao Kai and Wang Tong are both great Confucians. did not reply immediately, and only Xue Daoheng was in office now. As for the left and right concubines of the two squares and three temples in the Taisun Mansion. The officials such as Ling Cheng of the Jialing Temple and the Servant Temple are still temporarily vacant. Speaking of which. Xue Daoheng is currently by Yi Feng's side, and he is one of the more important people in the Taisun Mansion except for the six part-time Taisun Fu. Hearing Yi Feng ask him this question, he thought about it for a while, and then replied: "The Turks have no cities, no warehouses, and their migration is uncertain, so it is difficult to control them. If you take the initiative to attack, then the army will go deeper, and the grain will be difficult to sustain. It is not suitable for cultivating grains and grains, and it is difficult for the people to tame and upbring. ”

He first raised some of the drawbacks of the Turkic conquest, but his words took a turn again.

"However, now according to what Taisun just said, the Turks are unruly, after the establishment of this dynasty, the Turks have invaded several times, although they have been defeated by our dynasty, and due to internal khan succession and other problems led to splitting, and under the wise strategy of His Majesty, from the strong and weak to divide and attack, its momentum gradually faded. However, at present, the Eastern and Western Turks are unexpectedly uniting again, but this cannot sit idly by. Fortunately, the Turks did not know what Taoguang was to raise obscurity, they did not know what the sky was high and the earth was thick, and they did not know what to call the scars and forgot the pain. The minister felt that, in fact, as His Royal Highness Taisun said, this Turkic attack was actually very beneficial to us. If the Turks know how to forbear, they will rest and recuperate for another ten or twenty years, and when they rebel, it may be difficult for us to subdue. But now, although they have recovered somewhat, they are still not the same as they were when they were unified. Now they are in rebellion, and it is time for us to take them down in one fell swoop. Especially these Turks, as soon as they have a rebellious thought, they can no longer sit still, arrogantly mobilize tribal soldiers and horses to invade, and want to rob the Central Plains of the flower world and plunder money and children. In this way, it is self-defeating. The imperial court only needs to mobilize soldiers and horses, Chen soldiers on the border, and wait for work at ease, there is no need for labor expeditions at all, thousands of miles deep into the barren grassland, and there is no difficulty in logistics and heavy transportation, and it can directly be on the border, relying on the fortress of the fortified city, to smash those barbarian Turks. ”

As soon as Xue Daoheng's words came out, Yi Feng was very satisfied. Although he said so much, he agreed with his own meaning, and he was a little suspicious, but he also said what he wanted to say. His vision was still keen, and he had a very accurate grasp of the Turkic attack and a good analysis.

Yi Feng nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "This battle with the Turks, the imperial court intends to divide it into two stages, the first step is to defend, and the second step is to counterattack. First of all, bring the Turks closer, attract them all to the fortresses of the frontier, use our walls, use our fortresses, take advantage of our native combat advantages, and consume the strength of the Turks. When this phase of stalemate has passed, when the Turks are full of bags under our iron walls, dizzy and desperate, it is time for us to fight back. When the time comes, we will send these barbaric and arrogant Turks into the abyss of despair and conquer these barbarian Hu people in one battle. ”

"It's just that this time His Highness is the Marshal of the East Road, and the East Route Army is in command of the soldiers and horses of the newly established Youzhou Governor's Mansion. According to His Majesty's requirements, the task of the Eastern Route Army led by His Royal Highness was to guard Youyan. It was a reserve for the soldiers and horses of the Middle Route Army and a defense against Goguryeo in Liaodong to take advantage of the fire to rob. In this war, I am afraid that the Turks will not fight on the eastern road. Taisun Sheren Feng Deyi raised his own questions.

Feng Deyi's surname is Lun Deyi. Twelve years older than Yi Feng, a native of Hebei, the grandson of the Northern Qi prince Taibao Feng Long, and the niece and son-in-law of the current prime minister Yang Su. Earlier, when Yang Su put down the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, he set up a marching record room for Yang Su, and his work was very appreciated by Yang Su. Later, Yang Sudu built Renshou Palace, and he played Feng Deyi as the civil supervisor. When Inshou Palace was built, the construction period was very tight, and a large number of people died for it. Yang Su filled them directly into the foundation of the palace. Yang Su and Feng Deyi completed the construction of Renshou Palace in only a short time, and they built it very luxuriously. After Yang Jian sent Prime Minister Gao Gong to inspect, he came back to report that it was too luxurious and said that many people had died, which made Yang Jian very unhappy. After Yang Jian went to Renshou Palace in person, he came back to ask Yang Su about his crimes, and it was Feng Deyi who gave Yang Su a countermeasure at that time, asking him to go to the queen Dugu's family, saying that the Son of Heaven and his wife had worked hard for most of their lives, and if they were prosperous today. The emperor and his wife should also enjoy it. Later, Queen Dugu came forward to speak for Yang Su, and Yang Su was not only not guilty, but was rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and his trust was further enhanced. After that, he finally made a high position for the right servant.

Since then, Yang Su has become more and more satisfied with Feng Deyi, and married his niece to Feng Deyi. He was also recommended to serve as a member of the Inner Historian. But just last year, Feng Deyi participated in the Eastern Crusade. He crossed the sea with Zhou Fashang's sailors to attack Goryeo, but was unlucky enough to encounter a storm. The ship was broken, and he was floating on the sea with a broken plank after falling overboard, thinking he was going to die. But later, I thought of what Yang Su once said to him while patting his couch, "Feng Lang will definitely be able to sit in my seat." He survived, and after ten days of floating on the sea, he finally floated with the waves to the shore and survived the rest of his life. However, although he picked up his life, because of the failure of the Eastern Crusade, he was also implicated, and it was not easy to enter the Taisun Mansion this time.

"If the so-called unprepared battle is not fought, how can the fiefdoms be sure that the Turks will not invade the eastern route? What's more, if you are prepared, although it is said that the north of our Youzhou Mansion is now safe, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax. In particular, our Wufei Erzhou is at an important juncture, which connects the grassland and Hedong Hebei, and has always been a common route for the grassland to invade the Central Plains. If Wu Fei loses, then the Turks can break through to the flank and rear of the Central Route Army from this important strategic mountain pass, whether it is a direct invasion of Hebei, or a detour to attack Taiyuan, or the rear of Yanmen Pass, which is very dangerous. Since we are the eastern theater of the Northern Expedition, then we cannot just regard ourselves as the reserve of the Central Route Army, we must not only defend our territory and not lose an inch of land or a city, but we must also be prepared and take the initiative to attack at any time. ”

Feng Deyi's heart pounded when he saw the imperial grandson refuting him in such a stern tone. He is a Taisun Sheren, from the rank of the sixth grade, he is in charge of the book order of the Taisun Mansion, although he is still an important subordinate official of the Taisun Mansion, but there are a full eight Taisun Sheren in the Taisun Mansion, and everyone is almost the same as him. He had just arrived at Taisun's Mansion, and he was still thinking about leaving a good impression in front of Taisun, and he said in his heart that the answer he had just given was too hasty and too inconsiderate. At that moment, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Weichen is ignorant, just ordinary insight and discussion, it is really short-sighted, and there is no far-sightedness, please forgive your highness." The sages once said that when living in peace, people must have near-term worries, and His Royal Highness's plans are far from being comparable to those of the micro-ministers, His Highness is wise, and the micro-ministers admire. ”

These words sounded very comfortable, but they also made Yi Feng see at once that this guy was a very flattering guy. This kind of person doesn't mean that he is incompetent, but this kind of person is too flattering. If they meet a virtuous monarch, then they have the potential to become a generation of famous ministers. And if others encounter a mediocre monarch, then they will inevitably become a traitorous villain. In the final analysis, this kind of person is unwilling to insist on his own ideas, and only the meaning of the superior is correct. Thinking of history, this guy was also an important minister under Yang Guang later, and he had a reputation for being a traitor, but later he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he also had a reputation as a cadre, which is rare. However, in his heart, he has secretly recorded a black account for Feng Deyi, this kid is a guy who needs attention, he can use it, but he can't believe it all.

"The people who are sealed don't have to be like this, my habit here is to only talk about things when deliberating, and those who speak are not guilty, and everyone can say boldly if they have any ideas. It's good to say anything to your face first, I don't like the kind of person who does one thing in front of him and then another behind his back. I can't accept people who don't talk when they talk about things, but they always talk nonsense behind their backs. After a few words, he turned his gaze to Yan Silu and Wen Yanhong, "Look, what preparations should we make?" ”

Yan Silu and Wen Yanhong glanced at each other after Yi Feng's words just now, and they looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

Yi Feng said: "I just said it, I have something to say." ”

Yan Silu pondered for a moment and replied: "The minister thinks that Hebei and other places may not be violated in this war with the Turks, but we should indeed prepare early. The minister thought that the soldiers and horses should be displayed on the Great Wall and the Turks should be blocked outside the pass. It is conducive to the danger of the Great Wall and the mountains and rivers of the city, and the enemy is outside the country. ”

"Bachelor Yan's intention is to give up Wuzhou to the Turks?"

Wen Yanhong hurriedly explained for Yan Silu on the side: "Wuzhou is on the top of the block, outside the Great Wall, in the open grassland of Pingchuan, Weichen thinks that it is really not conducive to preventing a large force of Turkic cavalry. It is better to take the initiative to withdraw the people of Huai Famine to the Great Wall Pass first, clear the wilderness, block the enemy outside the Great Wall, and rely on the Great Wall Pass to defend against the Turkic cavalry. ”

This idea is actually normal, after all, the terrain of Huai Huang is indeed not conducive to defense, even if there is a city fortress, but if it is a large force of cavalry, it is too difficult to defend. However, Huaihuang is Yi Feng's foundation base, although now he is the general manager of Youzhou, and he is canonized as the emperor's grandson. But in Yi Feng's eyes, in fact, none of these are more important in his eyes. The name is important, but the strength in the hand is more and more important. Although he is now the general manager of Youzhou, it will be difficult to complete the control of Youzhou Mansion for a while, and now his real strength in his hands is still Huaihuang.

He can't lose it, and he doesn't dare to lose it.

"I can't accept such a result, Wuzhou is also the territory of the imperial court, and there are still 400,000 people of the Great Sui in Wuzhou, I will not abandon them, now everyone can discuss how to hold Wuzhou Huaihuang." Yi Feng is the final word and cannot be changed. (To be continued......)
