Han Xuandao said extremely calmly: "Back to the saint, this year's treasury revenue, because of the confiscation of the property of the two clans, is indeed quite abundant, but the amount allocated this year is indeed a lot. The expenses of the yamen of various ministries and departments are all documented...... In particular, the Ministry of Industry has closed the river embankment in Yichun this year, and to resettle the affected people, a large number of silver taels ...... allocated! ”

The emperor had already stopped with a smile and said, "Han Aiqing, I am not checking the accounts, I am very relieved that you are doing things." The household department is the financial foundation of the country, related to the people's livelihood in the world, if you don't support it all these years, it is really not so easy, but you have worked hard. ”

The officials had different expressions, and the emperor and Yan Yuese appeased Han Xuandao in the court, and there seemed to be some kind of strange information in the middle, but what was the smell, and it was difficult for the courtiers to come out for a while.

Some courtiers are secretly thinking in their hearts: "Now that the Han family is in full swing, Taishi Xiao is gone, Su Guanya is dead, in terms of qualifications and strength, Han Xuandao is already the first assistant of the cabinet, and the saint is so kind, I am afraid that I am also afraid of the power of the Han family." ”

"It's all within the minister's business." Han Xuandao said calmly, in the court, humble and polite: "It's just that although the treasury is full, the ministers must also be used for urgent needs!" ”

"Urgently?" The emperor smiled and said, "Where does Han Aiqing mean by the urgent need?" ”

Han Xuandao immediately said: "Back to the Holy Lord, the minister has recently heard that the situation in the frontier has deteriorated more and more, just recently, the Wei army has launched several attacks on the Qing army, and what is even more surprising is that according to the Northwest Military Report, in Linyang Pass, there has been a detailed ...... of the Wei people!" ”

There was an uproar upwards.

The emperor had already frowned, his eyes flickered, and his gaze was on Shang Fan Yunao.

Fan Yunao had already come out and bowed down and said, "Qi Sheng, there is indeed such a thing. ”

"The Wei people sent a fine work to my Linyang Pass, what do they want to do?" Immediately, an official came out and said: "Shengshang, the Wei people are ambitious, we value peace, but they wantonly provoke trouble, we have to guard against it!" ”

The emperor looked at Fan Yunao with a solemn expression, and said with a straight face: "I don't know about this, what is the situation?" ”

Fan Yunao replied: "I learned about this matter two days ago, General Han sent a military report from the northwest flying pigeon, not long ago, the soldiers guarding the pass found several suspicious people in the pass, and immediately arrested them, and from their hands they actually searched out the map of our army's deployment, which described our army's deployment in great detail, General Han felt that the matter was very important, so he reported it. After a pause, seeing that the emperor's expression was a little ugly, he continued: "Just because Concubine Shu gave birth to the prince, the whole country celebrated, and I didn't dare to disturb the mood of the saint with this matter. ”

"The Wei people sent a detailed investigation into the deployment of our Northwest Army?" The emperor's expression cooled.

Fan Yunao nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Do the Wei people still dare to have bad intentions towards my Dayan?" Emperor Yan clenched his fists and sneered: "They didn't even occupy the land of the Qing people, so they dared to get their hands on my Great Yan territory?" ”

Fan Yunao said solemnly: "In addition, the minister also learned another extremely important piece of news. ”

"What's the news?"

"A few days after the new emperor of Qingguo ascended the throne, the Qingren sent a delegation to the northeast front to negotiate with the northern barbarians." Fan Yunao said slowly: "After many inquiries, our people finally determined that the Qing people ceded the land of Zhongshan, Gaoyang and three of the five counties of Yangping to the Northern Barbarians, and from this year onwards, they will hand over one million taels of silver and 100,000 horses of silk to the Northern Barbarians every year in the name of favors, in exchange for the Northern Barbarians not to attack Qingguo!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the court exploded for a while.

"Shameless, shameless, how can I sue for peace with the barbarians?"

"Qingren, this is crazy. Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Northern Barbarians can force them to do something so humiliating and humiliating? ”

"He claimed to be a lion back then, but now he begs for peace with a wolf, how can Qingren be so cowardly? This is unfortunate for my China, and the face of my Central Plains Shangbang has made the Qing people lose all their ......! ”

There was a burst of shouting and scolding in the court, some people were heartbroken, and some were shaking their fists.

The Qi State has been destroyed for a hundred years, the four countries have separated, and the Feng Kingdom is different from the other three countries due to ethnic reasons, but Wei Yanqing is the orthodox Central Plains culture, and the three kingdoms actually have a strong sense of identity for cultural belonging in their hearts, and they all feel that the three kingdoms are the same root, the same language, and the same species, but they are only temporarily divided for some reason, and in their hearts, they don't want to focus on unification all the time.

During the Qi Dynasty, when harassed by the Northern Barbarians, the people in the northern region suffered from the endless scourge of the Northern Barbarians, the Central Plains people were full of resentment towards the Northern Barbarians, and later the Emperor Yong of the Qi Dynasty tried his best to defeat the Northern Barbarian tribes in one fell swoop, and drove them straight to the Far North, the Northern Barbarians because of that heavy rubbing, they have not recovered for hundreds of years, but they honestly stayed in the Far North, and did not dare to approach the Central Plains again.

But more than a hundred years later, the original group of desert wolves made a comeback and invaded the Central Plains, but the Qingguo people cowardly cut the land and sued for peace, which made the courtiers not hate.

In the hearts of the Yan people, the Northern Barbarians are not only the enemies of the Qingguo people, but also the feud of the entire Central Plains people.

The emperor's face was cloudy, and he was in a very good mood today, but when these two incidents were reported, he was like eating a fly while eating a sumptuous meal, and he was indescribably annoyed and disgusted.

The Wei people sent a fine work into the customs, this thing is quite strange, the emperor is not very convinced, but the Qingguo people cut the land and beg for peace, this kind of big thing is a lie and can't be reported.

Seeing that the emperor's face was very unsightly, the voices of the ministers gradually became quieter.

Soon, in the magnificent Taiping Palace, there was no longer a trace of noise, only the sound of the courtiers' breathing could be heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this?" After a moment of silence, the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The courtiers did not speak for a moment.

Everyone understands that the emperor asked like this at this time, not to let everyone condemn the cowardice of the Qingguo people on this matter, let alone to scold the barbarians of the north, but to ask everyone about the next strategy of the Yan Kingdom.

In fact, the courtiers with a little insight knew in their hearts that the Wei State had been lying on the back for more than ten years, vigorously developing armaments, and this time the war was a never-ending posture, and the Central Plains, the Western Wei Dynasty and the Beiqing War were in full swing, and it was impossible for the Yan State to really avoid this war completely.

If the Yan State sits idly by, this war, whether the Wei people win or the Qing people win, will not be beneficial to the Yan State in the end, it is to see one of the countries dominate.

The reason why Yan Guo has been delaying his move, to put it bluntly, is to watch Wei and Qing consume the two countries, let them fight and lose both, and then come out to make some benefits in the end.

Everyone knows that in this war, Yan Guo will have to participate in it sooner or later.

However, the key question is that when it is time to send troops, should they maintain the alliance with the Qingguo people and join forces to attack Wei, or should they take advantage of the weakness and tear up the alliance and wave the army northward when the Qingguo mountains and rivers are exhausted?

Deep down in everyone's heart, they have their own choices.

……

The situation ahead has changed drastically, and today there is a sudden news that the Wei people have sent a fine work to investigate the deployment of the Yan army in Linyang Pass, and it came out of the mouths of Han Xuandao and Fan Yunao.

It's just that the courtiers didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.

In most people's imagination, the Wei people should have gone through a hard battle, through the Longshan Mountains, and then fought with the Qing army on the land of Qingguo, after countless bloody battles, Qing and Wei people are exhausted, at this time, Yan suddenly sent troops, attacked the Wei army from the rear, and the Qing army before and after, if it goes well, it is very likely that the main force of the Wei army will be wiped out, and at that time, Wei and Qing are exhausted, but the Yan army is still full of combat effectiveness, It is entirely possible to make a choice whether to take advantage of the situation to annex Qingguo or to hold Qingguo hostage to fight Wei.

This is the best situation that many officials who have never been to the battlefield are happy to see.

But the battle ahead was obviously not carried out according to their ideas, and now the Wei people have been fighting for several months, not only have they failed to cross the Longshan Mountain Range, but they have been blocked by the Qing army at Linyang Pass.

The officials who didn't know that Sima Qingtian had passed away were really strange in their hearts, wasn't Sima Qingtian's Wei State Iron Cavalry incomparably strong, why was it that he was held down now and couldn't move, and the two sides could only consume each other in the area on the outskirts of Longshan? With Sima Qingtian's ability, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army, even if he was burned by Shang Zhongli on Longshan before, he was fully capable of reorganizing the army to attack Longshan again, and according to the normal situation, even if Shang Zhongli really held the Longshan Mountain Range, it was impossible for the Wei army to retreat to Linyang Pass, and it should be at the foot of Longshan Mountain to organize attacks again and again.

If it was really consumed like that, Yan Guo could continue to wait and see them exhausted, but Qingguo's cutting of land to the north and begging for peace made things complicated.

When the courtiers resented the cowardice of the Qingguo people, they had to plan what Yan Guo should do next.

After a period of silence, seeing that there was no movement in the court, the emperor frowned and thought to Fan Yunao and asked, "Fan Aiqing, you are in charge of the military department, what is your opinion?" ”

Fan Yunao bowed his body, thought for a while, and finally said: "Holy Lord, the Northern Barbarians are barbarians, and they are not educated, so naturally they don't talk about honesty and shame. The minister is only afraid that this peace negotiation is wishful thinking on the part of the people of Qingguo. ”

"Oh?" The emperor stroked his beard and said, "How is wishful thinking? ”

Fan Yunao said with a straight face: "The minister actually doesn't feel that the Qingguo people are really cowardly to that extent, if the ministers are judged, the Qingguo people are only afraid that they are temporarily avoiding the edge." After a pause, he continued: "The offensive of the Northern Barbarians is extremely strong, and the Northeast Army of Qingguo has suffered huge losses, if it continues to hold on, there is even a danger of annihilation of the whole army. ”

At this time, the courtiers all set their eyes on Fan Yunao.

"First, as Chen said, avoid the edge for the time being. If the Beihu people really accept the land and stop attacking, then the previous momentum will stop, and the momentum of courageous forward will also fall suddenly. Fan Yunao said slowly: "Second, it is to delay the time, so that the Northeast Army has a chance to breathe and recuperate. The Qing people cut the land, the northern barbarians stopped attacking, only 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry, how could they quickly accept the land of nearly three counties? They will definitely migrate a large number of barbarians into the pass, and the time spent will be enough for Qingguo to reorganize the Northeast Army. Finally, I think it is also to break the private alliance between the Northern Barbarians and the Wei State, if the Northern Barbarians really stop attacking, there will be no war on the northern line of Qingguo for the time being, and the pressure will suddenly decrease, and they will have the energy to deal with the Wei people on the southwest front. He smiled faintly and said: "The calculation of the Qingguo people may be to stabilize the Northern Barbarians first, and then repel the Wei people, as long as the Wei people withdraw their troops, Qingguo will concentrate superior forces and fight back the ceded land, if the Northern Barbarians are greedy for profit and stop attacking, and wait until Qingguo concentrates their forces and then fights over, the Northern Barbarians will definitely not be able to resist at that time." ”

The ministers suddenly had different expressions, thinking about Fan Yunao's words.

"It's not like a minister's speculation." Fan Yunao said calmly: "The people of Qingguo want to cut the land, this will make them unacceptable in terms of face, if it is not for such considerations, go back and clean up the Beiban, I am afraid that this time the discussion of cutting the land will not be so easy to form a unity within Qingguo." And the new emperor of Qingguo ascended the throne, but the power is in the hands of the Hou Party, the current queen mother of Qingguo is also an ambitious person, it is not easy for her to bow to the barbarians! ”

When the emperor heard this, he bowed his head and said, "What Fan Aiqing said is reasonable. But what do you mean by wishful thinking? ”

"The minister thinks that the Qingguo people's abacus is very good, but the Northern Barbarians may not be so obedient." Fan Yunao said lightly: "The Northern Barbarians are treacherous, and when they were in the Qi Dynasty, they were famous all over the world. They may really agree to the conditions of the Qingguo people for the land of the three counties now, but the minister feels that when the Northeast Army withdraws from the three counties, they may continue to attack in order to obtain more land and financial benefits! ”

Han Xuandao arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, what Fan Shang said is reasonable, the Northern Barbarians have no integrity, and the people of Qingguo are probably really wishful thinking this time." If the Northern Barbarians do not keep their promises and continue to attack after winning the three counties, then Qingguo will definitely be in danger! ”

The emperor frowned, groaned slightly, and asked, "Han Aiqing, then how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

"Dead lips and cold teeth." Han Xuandao said solemnly: "If Qingguo really falls into the hands of the Wei people and the Northern Barbarians, their next target must be my Dayan, and at that time, my Dayan will definitely face an unprecedented crisis, so the minister thinks that if he waits for the crisis to come, it is better to take this opportunity to defend and attack!" ”
