Correction note: In Chapter 142 "Youzhou Emergency", "On the occasion of the autumn and winter of the fourth year of Tiance, Hedong recovered from chaos", should be changed to "On the autumn and winter of the third year of Tiance, Hedong recovered from chaos". To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

Youzhou was lost and born at the beginning of the fourth year of Tiance, Li Congke decided to marry Tiance and was born in the summer of the fourth year of Tiance, and at the same time the situation on the western front: Zhang Mai did not advance to the Hezhong area until May and June in the fourth year of Tiance, and Samarkand took refuge in Satuk in the same month, and the shape of the river turned unfavorable to the Tiance army, and the western front became difficult.

――――――――――――――――

After Li Congke's letter of marriage was sent to Liangzhou, it made it difficult for the high-level leaders of the Tiance Army. Guo Fen doesn't look down on Li Congke very much in his heart, and Li Congke's daughter is much older than his eldest son, and she doesn't know what kind of character it is, she is a woman after all, and in private she doesn't want her son's lifelong happiness to become a victim of the two ** politics, not to mention that Guo Fen knows Zhang Mai's character very well.

"The marshal won't agree." Guo Fen said: "It is impossible for him to agree to this matter. ”

As Zhang Mai's wife, she is naturally the most qualified to say this.

Yang Dingguo said: "In such a troubled world, state affairs are important, children are petty, what is the way to hear that Shi Jingjiao's vanguard has been killed to the Yellow River, and Zhao Dejun is forcing Shandong again, if it is just civil strife, forget it, the little Tang lord will not be in danger." But what worries people is that the Khitan people don't know when there will be action stones, and Zhao and the others have already opened a gate for the Khitan, once Hu Qi goes south, the Central Plains will inevitably be slumped"

Although Yang Dingguo has never been to the Central Plains in his life, but that is the root of his dreams, after arriving in Liangzhou and handing over with people from the Central Plains, they all call themselves "old husband Huaizhou people" - Huaizhou of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is Hanoi of the Han and Wei Dynasties, which is the county of his old Yang family, how many times he dreams back to his hometown Central Plains, he has to burst into tears, thinking of his hometown hundreds of years ago - so he has never regarded the Central Plains as a foreign country in his heart, the Central Plains, that is, his hometown, the rise and fall of the Tiance regime is naturally the first in his heart, But the blessings and misfortunes of the Central Plains also have a very important position in Yang Dingguo's heart.

Guo Fen knew Yang Dingguo's emotion, and he was silent. She thought of herself - although the relationship between herself and Zhang Mai was sincere, she also speculated that if there was no emotion between herself and Zhang Mai, and the marriage between the two could help Anxi Tang Jun get out of the predicament, then the older generation was afraid that they would also preside over the marriage

For people who came out of the bitter cold of the Northwest, the personal feelings of children and the happiness of small families are all dispensable, and the survival of the entire group is the most important thing Guo Fen understands that in the hearts of Yang Dingguo and others, family affairs must always be subordinated to the needs of state affairs.

Seeing Cao Yuanzhong nodding, Zheng Wei was speechless, Lu Jialing groaned, and Guo Fen was also a little shaken, but he still said: "Although state affairs are the most important thing in troubled times, this marriage alone may not be able to affect the overall situation. The Khitan will not go south because of our marriage to Li Congke. ”

Yang Dingguo said: "The marriage of the two families is a gesture, although we can't stop the Khitan from going south, but if we refuse to marry, I'm afraid everyone in the world will think that we have to give up the little Tang master, but that will put him in a great disadvantage."

Xue Fu took a step forward and said, "The situation in the Central Plains may not be so dangerous. ”

"Oh?" The rhetorical question was Yang Dingguo.

Xue Fu said: "Although Youzhou is lost, the whole of Hebei is indeed a flat river, but the Hebei area, since the Anshi Rebellion, has been divided for a hundred years, and all towns and feudal guards secretly have strong strength. Although the terrain is flat, there are soldiers and food in each feudal town, and it is deeply rooted in the local area, which cannot be calmed down by Shi Jingjiao and an outsider in a hurry. And according to the latest report, the Hebei prefectures have not completely fallen, and Shi Jingjiao can control it, but the line that the troops took when they went south could not really control the entire Hebei within a month or two, and its rule was limited to the cities obtained, and could not penetrate into the counties under its jurisdiction, and he only reached the Yellow River with a small number of cavalry, not a large army. Now the atmosphere of the Central Plains Ding Revolution is the panic set off by the news that Shi Jingjiao's troops are forcing the Yellow River, and it can be known from the fact that Li Congke has not yet urgently transferred Zhang Jingda to help, and the situation in Hebei may not be as critical as the rumors. ”

Guo Fen hurriedly asked: "What does Xue Dudu mean ......?"

Xue Fu said: "Now the Central Plains is Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao competing, and the towns in Hebei are shrinking, half of them are preserving their strength, and half of them are holding a wait-and-see attitude. At present, Li Shi has not won or lost, and Li Congke has not officially asked for help, but just threw out a marriage, in fact, to take advantage of our momentum. If Hebei and Shandong heard that Li Congke was married to us, they would inevitably be inclined to the Li family, and at that time, Li Congke's momentum would be great, or it would be unknown if he could pacify the Central Plains without much effort. This is a neighbor's business, and they have not promised us any good, but why should we bend to others? ”

Unlike Yang Dingguo, Xue Fu did not have any deep feelings for the Central Plains, and in his mind, the orientation of judging the shape was simply beneficial to the Tiance regime, so his thinking was simpler than Yang Dingguo's.

Yang Dingguo's brows furrowed, but he couldn't refute for a while, but said: "I'm just afraid that the Central Plains will be in chaos because of this, if we promise Li Congke today, it will be just a gesture, but we can shout and make a great achievement." But if we ignore it and let Li Congke lose power, when it is out of control, we will all become sinners. ”

Xue Fu said: "The two sentences of the national elder are too much, if the Central Plains is ours, we naturally have to plan for the long term." But the pastor of the Central Plains is now Li Congke, not us, if he can pacify the Central Plains, the credit will not be ours, but if he loses the world, we will not be blamed for the crime of losing the country. ”

Seeing that the words of the two families were getting sharper, Zhang Yi and Xi Ni said: "Since this matter is difficult to decide, it is better to write to the marshal and let the marshal decide." A few of us are just left-behind ministers, and we can help deal with state affairs when the marshal is not there, but this is a family matter, a marriage matter, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the marriage of the son, we can't help but ask the father. ”

Guo Fen was about to agree, but Lu Jialing said: "The marshal is now in the Far West, firstly, the marshal may not be able to clearly know what shape the east is, and secondly, there are thousands of miles away from the east, and there is a delay on the way, I am afraid that when the marshal's echo arrives, the situation in the east has already changed." And if Lord Li doesn't hear from us for a long time, he will definitely think that we have the intention to shirk, and the Central Plains Domain will also think that we are unwilling to help the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhang Yi said: "Lu Shumi means ......"

"I think that the biggest hidden danger in the Central Plains is not in Shi Jingjiao, but in the Khitan." Lu Jialing said: "In the battle between Li and Shi, it makes no difference who wins and who loses to us, even if Shi Jingjiao is finally allowed to take possession of the Central Plains, he is a new master, and his internal emptiness will definitely come to please us, and we will be able to get more benefits from him at that time." But the problem is that if Li takes the stone lightly, the Central Plains will be stable, and if the Central Plains is stable, the Khitan may not dare to go south. Once Li Shi is evenly matched, the Central Plains will inevitably be in chaos, how can the Khitan sit idly by at that time? Now Shi Jingjiao has forced the Yellow River, but Yelu Deguang has not made a move, in my opinion, the reason why the Khitan has not moved until now is precisely the meaning of the tiger and wolf, not in the Central Plains, but in the west of the river."

Guo Fen was surprised: "Hexi, you said that the Khitan is going to deal with us?" ”

"Not bad." Lu Jialing said: "Since the Khitan started the army, galloping vertically and horizontally, almost invincible, but in the north court defeated by the hands of our army, Yang Dudu was forced by the troops, even Mobei was almost shaken Yelu Deguang not only broke Long's right arm, but also in the north and south of the desert is also a big reduction in prestige, the north and south of the desert are not like the Han land, there is a main body of the Chinese as the foundation, they have always been a clan and lead hundreds of species, the prestige of the ruling clan is reduced, it will inevitably cause the covetousness of the ruled race- This is the safety of the Khitan country, and if Yelu Deguang wants to consolidate this country, he must reinvigorate his prestige, and to regain his prestige, it is not enough to defeat Li Congke, it is necessary to challenge our army again and win a big victory in order to appease the hearts of the people. ”

He paused, and then said: "And the marshal's ambition must not allow Hu to be dominant, and now the army is moving west, so the east is temporarily relaxed, but once the western front is pacified, think about it, what will the marshal do to the Khitan?" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in pairs, and they all knew in their hearts that Zhang Mai's ambition would not allow the Khitan to continue to be strong, even if it did not exterminate its species, at least it was necessary to take back the homeland of the Tang Dynasty, collect Mo Nan Anton and clamp Mo Bei - Zhang Mai's ambition was not a secret within the top level of Tiance.

Lu Jialing continued: "The ambition of the marshal, if it is said that Yelu Deguang was not clear before the First Battle of Beiting, then after the First Battle of Beiting, the people of insight in its country also perceived it, so the Khitan and the Lord of the Little Tang Dynasty can coexist, but they are inseparable from us, so I judge that the various actions of the Khitan today are ultimately directed at Hexi."

Yang Dingguo nodded again and again when he heard this, Zhang Yi and his son also showed a worried look, Guo Fen frowned, and said, "Is it really possible that things are so critical?" ”

Yang Dingguo said: "What Lu Shumi said is very reasonable, even if the little Tang lord can pacify Shi Jingjiao, he will not be able to threaten the Khitan in the short term, but once the marshal returns to the east, it will be a great threat to the Khitan, so it will be very likely that they will enter Hexi due to the rebellion in the Central Plains." ”

Guo Fen asked Xue Fu again, and Xue Fu said: "With the troops, manpower, and material resources of our army in the east now, if it is a matter of the Central Plains, it will be difficult for us to send troops to cross the Yellow River to support." Fighting on two fronts, soldiers are taboo but ......"

"But how?" Guo Fen hurriedly asked.

Xue Fu said: "However, there are mountains and rivers in Hexi, and the desert is separated, we govern the country in a good way, and the people's hearts are extremely dependent. Defending the enemy outside the Yellow River, I am more than ninety percent sure"

He paused, and seemed to have a sentence that he didn't want to say, but he still said it: "And I thought that if the Khitan didn't enter the Central Plains, if he dared to invade the Central Plains, the day the marshal returned to the east would be the time when the Khitan perished."

Zheng Wei's brows jumped, Lu Jialing's heart was shocked, and he seemed to immediately understand the terrifying meaning hidden in Xue Fu's words.

But Yang Dingguo was still not very happy, and said: "Now that there is an opportunity to calm the disaster thousands of miles away without blowing away, why should there be a future disaster that may burn to the doorstep?" ”

The two sides insist on their own words, Yang Dingguo is the old man of the country, the most respectful status, but Xue Fu is the number one person in the entire Oriental military, Lu Jialing also shook after listening to Xue Fu's words, Guo Fen was difficult to decide, so he asked Zheng Wei and Cao Yuanzhong, Zheng Wei said: "This is a big deal, but it is not an urgent matter, since this is the case, why not ask the marshal first?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong had just returned from the East, and his grasp of the situation in the Eastern countries was not under Lu Jialing, and he said: "If you ask the marshal first, as Lu Shumi said, it will definitely be delayed, and the people in the Central Plains will definitely think that we are not sincere in marrying Li Congke." ”

Yang Dingguo said: "Yes, yes." ”

Guo Fen said: "Then what does the general mean ......"

"I mean, I'd better ask the marshal first." Cao Yuanzhong said.

Yang Dingguo was stunned. Cao Yuanzhong has already said: "As far as I know the temperament of the marshal, he is most likely unwilling to use his son's marriage to help the military and government. Besides, even if the marshal was willing, he would have to wait for him to nod. As for what the people in the Central Plains think, what does it have to do with us? Li Congke stole Luoyang, which was not orthodox, and our army possessed the upper reaches of the Yellow River, just as it was built on a high house, if there was something in the Central Plains, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for our army to go east? ”

Yang Dingguo was anxious when he heard this, and shouted: "If the marshal wins the world, it is of course the luck of the country, but if the Central Plains is in chaos, it is the difficulty of the people of the world, how can we sit back and watch the world rot for the prosperity of our family?" Such unkind and unrighteous things are not the deeds of my generation to be a marshal, and I believe that he will never put all his surnames in dire straits for the sake of his own ascension."

Cao Yuanzhong smiled faintly and said: "The marshal is naturally benevolent and selfless, otherwise he would not have refused to ascend the throne to the throne." But how can we win the world by virtue of righteousness alone? The benevolent and the sage, to the marshal, as for the notoriety, it is natural for us to bear it."

Yang Dingguo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was about to scold him with his halberd finger, Guo Fen hurriedly said: "The inner hall is all for the public, why should you be excited?"

Her prestige has increased in recent years, and Yang Dingguo didn't dare to be too wanton in front of her, so he held back, Guo Fen pondered for a moment, and said: "The theory of robbing while the fire is onwards, from today onwards, regardless of the predecessors and descendants, it must not be mentioned again, but this matter is as Zheng Xiang said, it is a major matter, but it is not an urgent matter, so let's ask the marshal what he means first." ”

Yang Dingguo was very disappointed when he heard her decision, but Zheng Wei, Xue Fu, Cao Yuanzhong and others all agreed, Zhang Yi did not object, and even Lu Jialing changed his mind.

Guo Fen immediately ordered Zhang Zhongmou to draft a letter, and in addition to asking Zhang Mai for instructions, he drafted two more copies, one for Yang Yi and one for Guo Luo -- and at the same time informed the two generals outside the town of the matter, and it was obvious that Guo Fen did not consider the matter to be a family matter.

After the news reached the Central Plains, Li Congke was really disappointed, but Shi Jingjiao was overjoyed and secretly sent people to Hexi, trying to win the Tiance army to tilt towards his side.

When the letter was delivered to Yang Yi, it was already July, and Yang Yi summoned Murong Chunhua and Xi Sheng to tell him after reading it, and Murong Chunhua said: "The decision to go west first and then east is the first thing in the current military strategy is to the east, but in this way, I am afraid that it will suffer the people of the Central Plains." ”

Xi Sheng said: "Can we send a strange army into Mobei to harass, maybe we can distract the Khitan, as long as the Khitan is unable to go south, then no matter how hard Li and Shi fight, it will only be civil strife, and it will not let Hu Ma set foot in the Central Plains." ”

Yang Yidao: "If Shi Jingjiao has Yelu Deguang behind him to make an overall plot, then the Khitan people will definitely not be defenseless in Mobei, and a few strange soldiers will not be able to play the effect you said, and what is more afraid is that the Khitan will take the opportunity to counterattack, and now the marshal is in the cementation period in the river, if there is something in Beiting and Hexi at the same time, then we will fall into the quagmire of fighting on three sides at the same time." He thought for a moment and said, "I want to pay the letter to the Western Front: I ask the marshal to decide"

――――――――――

But this unprecedentedly huge final battle is coming, and every aspect has to be considered, and I really can't be fast.
