"Even if you die, you must drag the soldiers and horses of Xirong."

This is the attitude of the emperor.

What is the death of soldiers and horses in Youzhou?

Can it be more important than the capital?

Can it be more important than the Great Wei Jiangshan Sheji?

Could it be more important than him, the emperor?

As a general, his duty is not to be afraid of war and dare to fight to the death.

Xiao Shi's face was calm, "Your Majesty said this to me, it's useless. I'm not Yan Shouzhan, I can't make decisions for him. ”

"Then think about it for me, how can you force Yan Shou to surrender? Where is Yan Yunquan? ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty really asked the wrong person, and I also want to know Yan Yunquan's whereabouts, but it's a pity that he obviously doesn't trust me, so he hasn't sent anyone to contact me so far." As for how to force Yan Shouzhan to fight, I suggest that Your Majesty think differently.

Persecution, useless. Even if Yan Yunquan is captured, it is useless. It's a big deal to give up a son, anyway, Yan Shouzhan has a son. Yan Shouzhan didn't eat this set at all. However, as long as there are enough benefits, maybe you can impress him. ”

Hey?

Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but think deeply.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "What conditions do I have to promise that Yan Shouzhan is willing to send troops to fight to the death?" ”

Shaw reminded: "Promises are not enough! ”

"Do I want to give him all the throne?" Emperor Yongtai said angrily.

Xiao Shi is always calm, no matter whether the emperor is angry or happy, she can deal with it calmly.

She whispered, "Your Majesty misunderstood me. If you want to impress Yan Shouzhan, in addition to money and food, there is only territory. ”

Money and food?

The imperial court and the Shaofu did not have enough money and food for the time being.

It is also a rebellion against thieves, and it is necessary to provide relief to the victims, and it is also necessary to ensure the logistics supply of the army, and the pressure on the imperial court and the Shaofu is very great, and the money and grain are always in a state of making ends meet.

Take enough money and food to impress Yan Shouzhan, unless it is deducted from somewhere else.

This plan, Emperor Yongtai was a little hesitant.

Money and food in various places are distributed at the minimum standard.

Once it is deducted, I am afraid it will lead to new chaos.

As for the money and food of the Southern Army and the Northern Army, it must not be touched.

The emperor also had to rely on the escort of the southern army and the northern army to pacify the world.

Site?

Emperor Yongtai pondered for a while, "Where does Yan Shouzhan want the territory?" ”

Xiao Shi coughed lightly and said solemnly: "He wants Bohai County!" ”

"He wants to go to sea?" Emperor Yongtai had a keen mind, and he only needed a place name to perceive Yan Shouzhan's intentions.

Xiao said: "Whether he wants to go to sea, I don't know. If His Majesty is willing to give him Bohai County and make it clear to the world, he will definitely go all out to prevent Xirong Bingfeng from continuing southward. There are many mountains in Youzhou, and the topography and veins are complex. It is not necessary to fight head-on with Xijon's soldiers and horses. Of course, this is my superficial opinion. Yan Shouzhan is a member of the imperial court and a local general, he must have a better combat strategy. ”

Emperor Yongtai thought for a moment and asked, "As long as I give him Bohai County, are you sure he will send troops?" Don't need to give extra food and grass? ”

"Yes! There is no need to give additional food and grass. He would raise his own food and grass. It's a big deal to plunder Xirong and grab Xirong's grain, grass, cattle and horses, which is enough to meet military needs. ”

When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he laughed, "I still underestimate local generals. They have the means and the strength, but they are unwilling to share their worries for the court and me. Am I so unworthy of their allegiance? ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"

"I'm not mistaken! The generals of the world, except for the loyal Northern Army, everyone else has their own little abacus, and they all want to support the army and be a warlord. They have no monarch in their hearts, no court, and no common people. They only want to occupy territory, expand their manpower, and grow their strength. ”

"Their growth is the growth of the Great Wei River."

Xiao said things he didn't believe.

It's just that she has to say this, she can't follow the emperor's words and let the emperor get into the horns.

Others don't understand the emperor's temper, she does.

She had to use force to pull the emperor back to the path of sanity, not to be suspicious.

As the so-called suspects don't use, use people without suspicion.

While using people, on the other hand, he is on guard against suspicion.

No one will be sincere about doing things like this.

After all, the emperor is a man with a criminal record.

The princes and kings of the world were killed by him, and their fiefs were recovered, and they were all kept in captivity in the capital.

The Tao family was cooked by his cunning rabbit and dead lackey.

If it weren't for Queen Tao's mediation, the Tao family would have died long ago, and the grass on the grave was three people high.

Now he has turned his face with the family again, and the two sides have been back and forth, and there have been countless rounds.

Such a ruthless and untrustworthy emperor, no one wants to be loyal.

In today's situation, the emperor must allow the local generals to have their own little calculations.

Even if there is a possibility that the tail will not fall in the future, it must be tolerated.

Let's solve the biggest crisis of the moment, Sijon.

Wait for the fighting to subside in the future, and then take action according to the situation.

It's just that the emperor can't do things too much, but as long as he is willing to leave a trace of affection, there will naturally be more people loyal to him.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't understand.

He was spoiled.

The first emperor made a very bad head, making the emperor think that by killing, he could achieve all his goals.

What a stupidity!

The great Confucian, who taught the emperor, was also a group of people with bad hearts.

All in all, the emperor only believed in the way of the king, and refused to believe in the way of benevolence and righteousness.

Emperor Yongtai stared at Xiao Shi, "Are you reminding me not to be too tough?" ”

Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm just stating a fact, and I don't mean anything else. Only the strength of local generals, especially the border army, can deter the steppe tribes. Xirong dared to go south this year, firstly, because the grassland was dry, and they could not survive. Second, because of the transfer of troops and horses in Liangzhou, there was a shortage of people and horses at the border gates, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of.

Your Majesty, don't think too much of Xirong, I have been at the border all the year round, and I know more or less what they think. They were afraid of the Great Wei army, they ventured south this time, and the journey was smooth, but they did not dare to divide the troops, why? Because of fear! Luck all the way, trembling all the way, once they encounter a large army of local generals, they have to coax! ”

Emperor Yongtai was skeptical.

He didn't see Xirong trembling, he only saw Xirong triumphant all the way, burning, killing and looting, and rampant arrogance.

It's clearly an unscrupulous look.

Why be afraid?

Shaw didn't go through it.

The so-called fear is naturally not the fear of the local government, nor the fear of the Great Wei court.

Rather, they were afraid of the Great Wei Border Army.

They are afraid of the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, and they are afraid of the soldiers and horses of Youzhou.

Dealing with each other all year round, the combat effectiveness between each other, each has a clear heart.

Xirong knew very well that he was fighting long distances and looting along the way, and there were more and more logistical materials, which also dragged down the trip more and more.

Once the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou catch up, it's over!

The soldiers and horses of Youzhou intercepted halfway, and they would also die.

They are afraid!

It was because of fear that they plundered wildly along the way.

Before the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou and Youzhou came, they did their best to loot as much as they could.

After that, it was a question of how to leave and return to the grassland.

It's just that Xiao won't say these words.

But if the emperor is willing to listen to the opinions of others, he will be reminded of these things.

Obviously, none of the people currently reused by the emperor understand the situation in the northwest, and no one even really understands military affairs.

The emperor did not even summon Liu Baoping to consult the situation in the northwest.

In the whole capital, no one knows Xirong better than Liu Baoping.

He has been in the military all year round and has dealt with Xirong a lot.

Perhaps, this time Xirong went south to the army, and he knew most of the tribal leaders.

With such a big support, Xiao Shi is helpless.

I hope that reality can wake up the emperor and make him face up to his own shortcomings.

It's not possible, though.

Dynasties and dynasties......

The older the emperor gets, the more confused he becomes!

The longer he was an emperor, the more brutal he became.

No exceptions!

Even the Ming Jun in the history books, in his old age, is just as stupid and incompetent!

Emperor Yongtai shook his head slowly, he didn't believe Xiao's words.

He didn't believe a word about the part of Sijon.

But he believed that Xiao Shi's judgment on Yan Shouzhan and promised heavy profits would induce Yan Shouzhan to send troops and make every effort to prevent Xirong's soldiers and horses from going south.

He said to Xiao Shi, "You stand down, I have to think about it." ”

Xiao Shi got up, bowed and retreated, and did not forget to remind, "Your Majesty, the soldiers are fast." ”

"I know! You don't need to be reminded. ”

Xiao smiled and turned to leave.

She has done what she has to do and said what she has to say.

Listen or not, believe it or not, she can't care.

How the situation will develop next depends on what the emperor does.

Do you continue to go your own way, or listen to everyone's advice and watch.

Xiao Shi did not leave the palace immediately.

Empress Tao sent someone to invite her to Weiyang Palace as a guest.

Shaw readily agreed.

……

In Weiyang Palace, Queen Tao ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks and beckoned Xiao to take a seat.

"How long has it been since this palace has been chatting with Sister Zhuyang over tea?"

Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness!" My mother and I don't seem to have had the opportunity to drink tea and chat. ”

Queen Tao laughed loudly, "Haha...... Look at the memory of this palace, or Sister Zhuyang's memory is good. It's a pity that when we were younger, we didn't become friends. ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "But we are in-laws." ”

Empress Tao nodded, "It's amazing!" This palace has been a family member with you for many years, and there are few opportunities to sit together and chat. How's it going, have you been okay lately? ”

"Thanks to my mother's concern, I'm fine."

"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, and I am exhausted, and my temper is a little irritable, Sister Zhuyang, please bear with me."

"The queen is serious. Your Majesty is the king, and I am the minister. No matter what Your Majesty says or does, I will naturally obey my orders respectfully, how can I bear with it? ”

"Haha...... It was Hongu who said the wrong thing, don't be surprised. ”

"No wonder! My mother invited me to come, not really for small talk. ”

Empress Tao seemed to smile, "Don't you want to chat with the palace?" ”

Xiao Shi put down the teacup, "Niangniang's time is precious, how dare I delay Niangniang's business." ”

"Sister Zhuyang really has a seven-trick exquisite heart. I won't hide it from you, this palace called you over today for the sake of the northwest. Did Your Majesty force you? ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head and smiled, then slowly shook his head, "Thank you Niangniang for your concern, Your Majesty has never forced me." ”

Empress Tao said: "Sister Zhuyang, you can't be wronged and don't say anything." ”

Xiao Shi smiled, "Niangniang, I'm not incompetent!" ”

The implication is that the old lady is not a fool, so don't take out small means to embarrass people and make people look down on them.
