Although it is early spring, the wind in Linshuo Palace is cold.
The generals of Zhao State walked into the main hall only in iron-clad uniforms.
The terrazzo bricks paved in the main hall can be seen by light.
The military generals of Zhao State walked into the main hall in twos and threes.
"Now the Yongji Canal is impassable, and this time the military funds for the Tang Dynasty will be transported from the Yongji Canal to the south bank of the Yellow River in some time."
"Yes, Wang Shichong has a few envoys, his eyes are swollen from crying these days, where does that look like a minister."
"It's not easy for Wang Shichong, it's not a day since the Tang Army's 100,000 troops besieged Luoyang, and Luoyang City is in danger."
"If we don't help Luoyang, Wang Shichong will be finished."
The ministers talked about it all kinds of things.
"Go to court!"
At that moment, the ministers of Zhao Guo stopped talking, and when Li Chongjiu entered the main hall, all the courtiers knelt twice and bowed six times in parallel.
Although Li Chongjiu is the emperor, he has been busy with the southern expedition to Wang Shichong in the past few days, and the imperial system of Zhao has not yet been decided, but the etiquette of this bow has been implemented first.
The dragon robe was not yet sewn, and Li Chongjiu was still wearing the robe of King Zhao in the past, with a sword hanging from his waist to sit on the chair, and then he said lightly: "Flat." ”
Only then did Zhao Guo's civil and military ministers get up together and sit on the futon under His Highness.
This day is the great court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival, and Zhao Guofan and officials above the fifth grade are all there.
Li Chongjiu's gaze swept over the ministers, and he immediately asked: "Li Tang plans to unite with Goguryeo and make my belly and back to the enemy, what do you think?" ”
Xue Wanche took the lead in his debut: "Goguryeo is self-contained, and there are still great enemies such as Silla and Baekje in the east, so I don't think there will be many troops to attack the Liaodong border." ”
"Words can't be said so absolutely," Yang Linfu, the secretary of the ministry, said. "Goguryeo covets the heart of my Han land, not a day or two, this time Li Yuan promised the land of the five counties to cede Goguryeo, I think there will be people in Goguryeo who will covet this."
"What is Zhang Aiqing's opinion?" Li Chongjiu asked.
Zhang Xuansu stroked his long beard. pondered: "Li Tang's alliance with Goguryeo is a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, if we want to break Li Tang's strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, we must also elbow Li Tang." ”
"Where to start?"
Zhang Xuansu said: "Our army is new and the Turks have a good word, we can bribe the Turkic leaders with a lot of money, and then pretend to be powerful." Let them persuade Chu Luo to send troops, attack the area of Longxi, and attack Guanzhong. Guanzhong, who threatened Li Tang. ”
On the side, Ji Chuan said: "This is wrong, Li Tang has long been on guard against the Turks, and Li Tang ordered the famous minister Yang Gongren to sit in Liangzhou and take the whole of Longxi." There is the governor Li Zhongwen in the east of the river, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng is in Pujin, which is enough to fight against the Turks. The Turks did not send more than 100,000 men, which was simply not enough to break through the Li Tang defense line. ”
Ji Chuan said while looking at Zhang Xuansu, among Li Chongjiu's confidants and advisers, Ji Chuan and Zhang Xuansu were at odds. It's been an open secret for a long time. Ji Chuan, as a civil official selected at the beginning of the establishment of Huaihuang Town, can be said to be the courtier who has followed Li Chongjiu for the longest time, but Zhang Xuansu has come to the top, and now he is on an equal footing with Ji Chuan, which makes him a little unhappy.
The two competed against each other in the temple, and Ji Chuan often sang Zhang Xuansu's counter-tune, which was already something that Li Chongjiu and all the ministers were accustomed to.
Zhang Xuansu said: "As long as the Turks can send troops to harass, we should also mobilize Xiao Mo in the south to go north." and our army marched south, forming a joint attack from the north and the south. ”
"Your Majesty," Zhang Xuansu lowered his head and said, "Empress Xiao is Xiao Miao's uncle and aunt, both from the Lanling Xiao family, we can contact the Liang Kingdom to the south." Solidarity with each other. ”
Ji Chuan said: "Xiao Mian is too busy to take care of himself, and his people are suspicious in their hearts, and they have killed his generals Dong Jingzhen and Zhang Xiu, self-destructing the Great Wall, and it is impossible for him to send troops to rescue Luoyang." ”
Pei Ju came forward and said: "The minister thinks it is possible, Liang State has Jingxiang, 400,000 soldiers, as long as Liang State intends to send troops, from the national capital Jiangling, you can reach Xiangyang in ten days." ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "If the minister is not sure enough, Xiao Mo will definitely send troops, but if he is able to send a partial division out of Jingxiang, he will definitely be able to put pressure on the Tang army." ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I know about this matter, so I will send someone who can speak well to Jingxiang and persuade Xiao Mo for me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yu Shinan came out and said, "Weichen can give it a try." ”
Yu Shinan had just finished speaking, and Ouyang Xun on the side was also not to be outdone: "Weichen is familiar with Jiangnan, so he can also go with him." ”
Li Chongjiu said with a smile when he heard this: "The two ministers are both loyal and diligent people, and the ministers know. ”
Speaking of this, Xue Wanshu said: "Right now, the sky is freezing cold, and the water in Youjing is dripping into ice, and my army cannot go south to aid Zheng for the time being." However, in the past ten days, we cannot sit back and watch Li Tang attack Luoyang. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "I have already made arrangements, Yu Aiqing will send an envoy to Liang Guo for me, convey to him the willingness of the alliance between the two countries, and ask him to attack Xiangyang from Jiangling, Xiangfan is an important place in Jingzhou, not Xiangfan, once Li Tang's army goes down the river from Sichuan and Shu, and then send another general to attack Jiangling from Xiangyang, Liang State is in danger." Stating the interests and disadvantages, Xiao Mo will carefully consider our opinions. ”
"No."
Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu looked at Ouyang, who was a little lost, and asked: "Ouyang Aiqing, I heard that you and Wang Bo are old, so I will go to Qijun for me to meet him, and tell him that my army is going south, and now I appoint him as the vanguard, and lead an army of 10,000 to set up a formation west of the Tiger Prison." ”
Ouyang Xun listened to the moment and said: "Wang Bo is capricious, and Yichen sees that Wang Bo will find all kinds of excuses to prevaricate. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "If he shirks, you will sue Wang Bo, saying that as soon as my southern army crosses the Yellow River, I will set foot in Qi County!" ”
Li Chongjiu's toughness was awe-inspiring, and Ouyang Xun said loudly at the moment: "No, Weichen must live up to his mission." ”
Wen Aiqing, Meng Haigong, and Xu Yuanlang replied that we didn't? ”
Wen Yanbo said: "These two people were very polite to our envoys, but they did not explicitly say that they wanted to join our army, obviously they wanted to wait and see between Tang and Zhao. ”
"Okay, you write to the two of them, appease them well, and say that my Zhao Jun Keri is going south, and they can just stand still. He will be rewarded in the future. The two of them are different from Wang Bo, not only are they strong and strong, but for our army, they are also a little beyond the reach of the whip for the time being, and they only need to be appeased for now. ”
"No."
Speaking of which, the crowd discussed some details. In the end, the defense of Liaodong was undertaken by Tudiji and Guo Xiaoke, and the defense of the Turkic side was undertaken by Wang Junkuo, Yinghefu, and Etuo.
After retiring from the court, Li Chongjiu came directly to Empress Xiao's residence.
Empress Xiao said: "After His Majesty retreats from the court, it must be something to come to see the mourning family in person." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "Exactly, I have decided to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and now I want to unite the north and south of the Liang State to attack, but I have no way, and I want to ask Niangniang for help." ”
Empress Xiao smiled and said: "Xiao Miao's grandfather is my father's brother, and they are all a family, if you want him to help, the mourning family will help you with this." ”
Li Chongjiu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”
Empress Xiao smiled and said, "The family doesn't talk to each other, and the mourning family will write a letter to you." ”
