Xiao Taishi appeared to be righteous and strict in the court, and his words, coupled with some people's echoes, made many courtiers feel that what he said was true, and they only felt that this time was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they should join forces with Wei to attack Qing and occupy a large land in Qingguo.

Han Xuandao naturally saw that the atmosphere in the court was not right, and at this time, he naturally wanted to stand up and argue.

When Taishi Xiao saw Han Xuandao come out, he remained silent, this was obviously something he expected, but a trace of imperceptible smile crossed the corner of the emperor's mouth, and asked: "Han Aiqing, why not join Wei to attack Qing and expand the territory?" ”

Han Xuandao glanced at Taishi Xiao before he said respectfully: "Back to the Holy Lord, Taishi said that my Dayan wants to dominate the world and dominate the four seas, and this minister deeply agrees. But...... I think that even if Wei Qing goes to war, it is still not the best opportunity for my Dayan! ”

Master Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Lord Han, but I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Han Xuandao said slowly: "The battle between swords and soldiers is a major matter of the country, and the battle between swords and soldiers must not be started lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Moreover, if you want to send troops, you must have sufficient money and food, and be well prepared...... The ministers manage the household department, the accounts are complete, and the money, food and equipment are not enough to support a big war...... And the big war together, it will be deep in the mud, the battlefield is changing, no one knows when the war will end, maybe a month or two months, or maybe a year or two, although the treasury of my Dayan can ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it is unable to guarantee the perennial war! ”

Xiao Taishi sneered: "Lord Han, as far as the old man knows, after the Yichun He family plotted to rebel and exterminate the He family, all the money, food and equipment obtained from the gossip were included in the treasury, in addition, the He family's property in Yichun and the property in Beijing were all washed away, and they were also included in the household department, and the wealth of the He family was not a small amount." ”

Han Xuandao's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately said: "Taishi is only afraid that he has forgotten that it is true that the property of the He clan is included in the household department, but the post-disaster reconstruction and flood control funds in Yichun are greater than the wealth of the He clan." More than 100,000 people want to settle down again, but also to cultivate, in order to dredge the river, dig ditches and repair canals, the silver is pulled out of the household like water, and the embankment of the Dachang River is said to be unstable, the Ministry of Works, Xiao Huaijin, Xiao Shangshu, is urging our household department to allocate silver to build and strengthen the embankment of the Dachang River...... Taishi, is it possible that Xiao Shangshu didn't tell you about this matter? ”

Xiao Taishi smiled indifferently: "Lord Han, I can't understand what you say, is it possible that I am a dignified Yan, and I can't even send troops?" I think that Emperor Yanwu only relied on 300 armor to raise troops, and still laid a large territory and established the country of Great Yan...... Now that my Dayan has six counties and tens of millions of people, but I can't even send a single army, isn't this ridiculous? Lord Han, you use this as an excuse, do you not want to fight, or do you dare not fight? ”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching the two fighting in the court, at this time, ordinary officials naturally dare not come forward to interject, this is already a confrontation between giants, if someone dares to step forward to interject, unless there are several other giants, otherwise a word is lost, it is a worry about life.

Therefore, in the wide and majestic Taiping Palace, Taishi Xiao and Han Xuandao confronted each other, and this was the first time in so many years that Han Xuandao dared to debate with Taishi Xiao like this.

Although there have been objections in the past, this is the first time that such a confrontation smells of gunpowder.

For a while, the ministers finally understood in their hearts that today's Han family is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the family that lives on the shore of the East China Sea and compromises in the court.

The Han people have now come to the fore and have begun to fight for the interests of their own forces without giving up an inch of land.

Taishi Xiao's sharp question didn't make Han Xuandao change color in the slightest, he just said very calmly: "Taishi asked the lower official if he didn't dare or didn't want to, if he really wanted the lower official to answer, then I didn't want to or dare." For the future of my Yan country, the lower officials don't want to fight, looking at the money, grain and equipment of our household department, the lower officials don't dare to fight. The war is together, and the lives are devastated, once there is a loss, it will hurt our country's capital, and it will rub my Dayan sharpness. I Dayan nearly 100 years since the establishment of the country, hard work, to have today's people stability, it is not easy, the war started, the whole country fell into the war, the soldiers have no reason to win, after the war on my Dayan advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to predict. Wei people Chen Bing border pass, that is carefully prepared for more than ten years, bent on fighting, the military preparation is very sufficient, my Dayan wants to rush to join forces with Wei to attack Qing, the consequences, have you ever thought about it? ”

The emperor stroked the green beard under his chin, looked at Han Xuandao and asked, "What does Han Aiqing mean, should he join forces with the Wei people, but negotiate with the Qing people?" ”

Han Xuandao took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Holy Lord, throughout the ages, if you fight, it must be beneficial to your own side before you can fight. If Taishi wants to expand his territory and stabilize the world, this is also what every one of my people in Dayan is looking forward to. However, if the army is sent at this time, it must not be fought unless it is beneficial from both inside and outside. Since the minister beat Wei Qing and Chen Bing, he had thought about it, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally felt that at this time, joining Wei to attack Qing, whether inside or outside, would be of no benefit to my Dayan! ”

Taishi Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but he stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man wants to hear what Master Han has to say?" ”

"It is not appropriate to be internal, the minister just said, the army is not in order, the money, food and equipment are insufficient, and the flood of the Dachang River has just been leveled, and there is still the salary and silver of the defenders of the cities in various places...... There are many places where silver money is used, and the documents that urge silver from all over the country are also pouring into the household department one by one. Once the household department's already small amount of money is used for armaments, and the money is not allocated to various places, many things will stagnate, so as not to cause resentment among the people. Han Xuandao's expression was grim, and he said in a loud voice: "It is not suitable outside, but once the troops are sent to attack Qing, my Dayan and Qingguo will inevitably become mortal enemies, and in the long run, it will not be beneficial to my Dayan!" ”

At this time, Fan Yunao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finally came out, "Qi Sheng, what Lord Han said is reasonable. The Wei State attacked Qing, and with the national strength of the Qing State, although it may not be able to resist it, it will never be easily destroyed by the Western Wei Dynasty. If my Dayan really sent troops to join Wei to attack Qing, he might be able to defeat one county or two counties, but after that, he would have to face an extremely grim situation. After a pause, he said slowly: "More than ten years ago, after reaching a non-aggression agreement with Qingguo, in the past ten years, although there have been small frictions between Qing and China at the border, there has never been a major war, and it is precisely because of this that our Yan country will have no danger of border passes, and the people will live in peace." But once Lianwei attacks Qing and becomes a mortal enemy with Qingguo, then as long as Qingguo is not destroyed, there will be no peace on the border of my Yan State...... The most important thing is that the Wei State will take the opportunity to grow, and we will not only have to resist the retaliation of the Qing State, but also sit back and watch the Wei people expand their territory and increase their territory because of joining forces with the Wei State, which will become the biggest threat to our Dayan. The wolf ambition of the Wei people, once they gain power, will definitely target our Dayan, and at that time, our Yan State will have to face the revenge of the Western Wei Evil Wolf and Qingguo at the same time...... Just to join forces with Wei to capture one or two counties, but in the future, I will have to face the joint attack of the two countries, and my colleagues ask themselves whether my Dayan will be able to resist it when the time comes? ”

Fan Yunao is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and his analysis is naturally based on what the soldiers think.

Han Xuandao and Fan Yunao analyzed before and after, and the courtiers suddenly only felt that they were very reasonable, if they only joined forces with Wei to attack one or two counties of Xia Qingguo, and became mortal enemies with Qingguo, then Yan State would be in a dangerous situation, once Qing Guo turned around and joined forces with Wei to attack Yan in order to retaliate against Yan State, Yan State would not lose one county or two counties at that time.

The situation is changing, there are no eternal friends, there will be no eternal enemies, anything can happen!

The fact that the Yan State was able to stand in the Central Plains for a hundred years is of course because of its profound national strength and not weak strength, but from the perspective of objective factors, it is also because the place where it is located does not border the Wei State, so as to avoid being harassed by the warlike Wei people. The Qingguo has to face the attack of the Wei people at all times, and most of the energy is put on the western front to deal with the Western Wei, and the people of Qingguo are still not martial, not as reckless as the Wei State, no matter from a strategic point of view or the people's temperament, the Qingguo people are willing to maintain a peaceful situation on the border line of Qingyan, which also makes Yan rarely have large-scale wars.

However, Qingguo is by no means afraid of Yanguo, and Qingguo people have a sense of superiority in their bones, and they consider themselves to be the source of Central Plains culture, a real state of etiquette, and an orthodox country in the world.

If Yan Guo really joined Wei to attack Qing, once he failed to defeat Qing Guo, with the arrogant dignity of Qing people, he would definitely retaliate against Yan Guo.

As soon as the courtiers thought that it was possible for Wei Qing to join forces to attack Yan in the future, their hearts suddenly burst out.

The Emperor frowned, thoughtful.

"Holy!" Han Xuandao arched his hand again and said: "If the negotiation with Qingguo is successful this time, it is nothing to get a large amount of their property, but it is of great benefit to our Yan country's strategy of dominating the world!" ”

"Oh?" The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Han Aiqing, what's the benefit?" ”

Han Xuandao replied: "Returning to the Holy Lord, Qingguo's national strength should not be underestimated, Wei has been poor for more than ten years, with strong soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of iron cavalry and Chen soldiers at the border passes, these two countries are now their own elites, according to the minister's opinion, this battle should be more intense than the war more than ten years ago...... For the attrition of the two countries, it is bound to be better than that year...... I am afraid that this war will not end in ten days and a half months, and it will even drag on for a year or two, which must be not small for the consumption of the national strength of Wei and Qing. I, Dayan, took advantage of the past two years to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, accumulate grain and grass, strengthen armaments, and wait until the consumption of the other two countries is weak, and then make a decision, this is the best policy! ”

After Han Xuandao finished speaking, many courtiers immediately came forward to second.

Xiao Taishi's old voice laughed, and the weird laughter actually made the atmosphere in the court even more tense.

pThe official group of Quanchen currently opened, the desert ranger group: 3585??, everyone adds this group, and the other groups are full, so don't add them!
