Chapter 396: Hope
The Turks went south, countless people, although Yingzhou has been recovered, but the DPRK and China are still fiercely arguing, whether to go north to the steppe, counterattack the Turkic Tartars, the civil and official tone is the same, and strive to make peace precious, Liang is now surrounded by enemies on three sides, the use of troops against the Turks will inevitably give the Western Xia Nanchen an opportunity, if the two countries take advantage of the Liang to go north to launch a war, it will be a disaster for the Liang, and the Turks have sent a messenger, saying that they are bewitched by traitors to wage war against the Liang, and now the Liang has burned the grain and grass accumulated by the Turkic eight departments, The Turkic warriors also killed a lot of people, even if they arrived in Yingzhou, it is recommended that the matter be stopped.
The Turks sent an envoy, and now the envoy is waiting for news in Honglu Temple, in his eyes, the Liang people are a group of fat sheep to be slaughtered, if it were not for the defense of the fortified city, the Central Plains would have become the territory of the Turks, and those weak Liang people have also become slaves of the Turkic warriors! The Turkic envoy came to show an attitude, and he didn't care about how the two of them decided, and the Turkic warriors were fearless whether they fought or made peace.
The generals here, led by Qiu Long, all hope that the emperor can order himself and others to lead the army north to the steppe and launch an attack on the Turks, and now the Turkic grain and grass are burned, as long as they interfere with their autumn harvest, the Turkic tribes will be extremely difficult to endure this winter, and they will attack it at that time, and they will definitely achieve results, and now is a rare opportunity! Can't give up easily, even if Western Xia and Southern Chen have the heart, most of them will be equivalent to the Turkic war after the end of the war before deciding whether to launch an attack on Liang, if Liang wins, the two countries may not dare to act rashly.
"Your Majesty, the Turks have repeatedly violated our border passes and slaughtered our soldiers and civilians, now is a good time to fight back against them!"
"General Qiu, do you know how significant this battle is! If you lose, what kind of danger will the girder fall into? When the world attacks the beam, if the country's society is destroyed, can you afford this responsibility! "One of the civil officials came out, and it was Li Xuanying, the prince of the dynasty.
"Since Taifu knows that this battle is of great significance, why don't you talk about the impact on my Liang if this battle is won? The Turkic Tatars are sparsely populated, and if this battle can hit them hard, it can protect the peace of the northern border of our Great Liang for thirty years! The north is worry-free, and we can concentrate our forces to eliminate the thieves of Western Xia and Southern Chen, restore our Daliang land, and restore peace to the world! Qiu Long's beard was all spread, his face was straight, and he said loudly, and the whole person was like a burning flame, which made people dare not face it.
"In order to gain immortal merit, do you want to bet on the Jiangshan Sheji of Daliang?" Li Xuanying answered again and said unrelentingly.
"Li Xuanying! Do you know the art of war? Do you know how much this opportunity is cherished, and if you miss it, do you dare to say that this kind of opportunity will come again in the future? ”
"Even if it doesn't show up! Do you, Qiu Long, dare to guarantee that this battle will be won, and the battle will be successful! Li Xuanying said angrily.
Qiu Long wanted to shout I dare! But he was pulled by the general behind him, although Qiu Long was angry, but after seeing the face of the second general, he gritted his teeth and stopped talking, if Qiu Long responded, Li Xuanying may not stop him again, but afterwards the civil official will definitely make a stumbling block for the general, if this battle is successful, the prestige of the military general will be raised to a new height, and then the Western Xia and Southern Chen will be destroyed, so where will there be a civilian position in the court? How many wars have been lost at the hands of our own people throughout the ages? Is there still a lot of lessons from the past recorded in the Tiance Mansion?
Li Xuanying saw that Qiu Long did not speak, and he no longer angered him, and said to Liang Huizong.
"Your Majesty, if you are not a minister, not long after the Yellow River bursts, the disaster situation in the states has not been resolved, and the treasury has taken all the money to help the disaster, and the treasury has no money to support the Northern Expedition!" Li Xuanying began to put out objective reasons, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is under the command of Wenyuan Pavilion, the treasury of this disaster relief did produce a lot of silver, but there is still more than half left, it is enough to support the Northern Expedition, but for the interests of civil officials, it is absolutely impossible to let the generals lead the Northern Expedition, if they succeed, where is there a position for civil officials in the court, Li Xuanying knows that the opportunity is rare, but the first thing in his heart is not whether Daliang can defeat the Turks or whether he can calm the Western Xia
Nan Chen restored the territory of Liang, in his heart, the interests of the Chinese official came first, and anything that could improve the statement of the military general must be suppressed, and a bunch of horsemen must not be allowed to ride on the heads of himself and others!
In Li Xuanying's opinion, Daliang doesn't need to regain lost territory, so it's good!
Qiu Longqi's face was flushed, when he was in Tiance Mansion, the Ten Directions Invincible had already told him that the Northern Expedition was hopeless, and the civil officials would never agree to the military generals leading the Northern Expedition, but Qiu Long still had a glimmer of hope to mention it in the court, and the result was really as the Ten Directions Invincible expected...
The invincible of the ten parties stands at the forefront of the military attaché, he does not know that the opportunity is rare, but politics is the collision of interest groups, the contest, the war to expand the territory is the bottom line of the civilian officials, if they insist on going out, the counterattack of the civil officials will be several times more fierce than the Turkic Tartars, the civilian officials will use all kinds of means, impeachment, framing, or even more out of line, they even dare to cooperate with the enemy, they will not consider the situation that the Great Liang will face after the defeat, those are the things that will be after the defeat of the generals, even if the defeat may make the society fall, they will not be soft, And the generals will also be their first choice.
Shifang Invincible knew that the civil officials would not sit idly by and watch the generals grow, he didn't speak, because it was useless, and the prime minister, who was the master of the Wenyuan Pavilion, was not also calm and relaxed, and the two big heads knew what was going on.
Liang Huizong only felt that what was said on both sides made sense, but when he saw that the military general closed his mouth first, he knew that the civil officials had the upper hand this time, as for the decision-making, did it have anything to do with him? The queen is taking care of the major affairs of the court, he is just a puppet, he is watching a play every day in the court, and the real decision is made by the queen in the side room and her father Duguhuang, when he thinks of that hateful woman and his family, Liang Huizong hates it to the root of his teeth, but now he does not dare to have the slightest disobedience, now the people in the palace are all the eyes of the Dugu family, if he dares to disobey, he is afraid that Duguhuang will kill himself.
After listening to the civil and military singing, I asked if there was anything to do, and many people came out of the civil officials one after another to report the people's livelihood to Liang Huizong, and Liang Huizong didn't go to his heart, waiting for everyone to speak, Liang Huizong announced his retirement from the dynasty, as for the decision, he will make a decision later.
Hundreds of officials walked out of the hall one after another, Liang Huizong returned to the back officials and continued to linger with Wei Guifei, by the way, a few lucky women, although they were fortunate to finish them, they would be given death by the queen, but so what, it was all the queen's sin, they were fortunate that they were grace, and if they could be favored by themselves, it was worth dying.
Qiu Long walked angrily behind Shifang Invincible, and when he walked out of the palace gate, Shifang Invincible slowly turned around and patted Qiu Long's shoulder and comforted.
"It's okay, there's still hope for us, isn't it?"
