"Queen Mother, yesterday I received a flying pigeon from the Mobei spies, and now the Mobei tribes have respected the Tang Kuo tribe's Arub as the Great Khan, and the unified Mobei tribes have 400,000 subordinates, if they commit another border next spring, I'm afraid that Dawei will not be able to stop it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the Changle Palace, Yang Jiefu reported the unfortunate news to the Queen Mother.

"Three hundred thousand?" The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this number, in her opinion, 100,000 Mobei cavalry defeated 300,000 elite forbidden troops of the Great Wei, if there were another 300,000, what would it be? She was stunned for a while before she asked eagerly, "Yang Xiangguo, are they really going to attack Great Wei after the beginning of spring next year?" ”

"It's not certain that it will take time for Arub to completely subdue these newly submissive tribes, and if someone disobeys his rule, he can buy some time for Great Wei." Speaking of which, Yang Jiefu also slightly regretted letting Li Gui take away too much of the Jingying Forbidden Army, but if he was given another chance, he would have made the same decision.

"How long will it take to reunite the Jingying Forbidden Army?" The Empress Dowager also knew that the main forces of the Great Wei were concentrated in the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, and in the past two years, the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army had lost more than 300,000, and the remaining troops were still insufficient to defend the Beijing Division, let alone go north to fight against the Mobei Tribes.

"Three years, at least three years." Yang Jiefu had already thought about this matter, and when he heard the Queen Mother's question, she replied without thinking, "Now that the treasury is empty, it costs money to raise taxes to raise military salaries and recruit soldiers, and it also costs money to buy weapons, armor, horses, grain and grass for these soldiers, and it takes time to raise such a large amount of money; In addition, it takes time to sign soldiers, and it takes time to train soldiers, and these times add up to not three years is not enough. ”

"But the Mobei tribes probably won't give us three years, right?" Even with the shallow political wisdom of the Queen Mother, she can understand the truth, and the Mobei tribes are not fools, so why would they let go of this weakest opportunity of the Great Wei.

"Yes, Queen Mother, so we have to find a way to delay their attack now." Yang Jiefu said slowly, "Lao Chen thought of a few ways and asked the Queen Mother for details, first, send people to Mobei to contact those tribes who are dissatisfied with Arubu, divide their relationship with Arubu, provide them with weapons, food and grass for them to launch a rebellion, so that Arubu has no time to look south." Second, to re-replenish the forces of Xuanda, repair the city defenses, and keep the tribes out of the Great Wall even if those tribes cannot stop Arub......"

"Are these things going to work?" The Queen Mother seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and without waiting for Yang Jiefu to finish speaking, she asked eagerly, "If it's feasible, why don't you hurry up and do it?" ”

Yang Jiefu shook his head slowly, "It's just a little bit of personnel; In the past two years, Arubu has defeated our Great Wei one after another, and his prestige among the Mobei tribes is extremely high, coupled with the grain and weapons snatched from the Great Wei, it is estimated that not many people will dare to anger him at this time. "What's more, there is also Yuan Zhang, who is familiar with the situation of Great Wei, and assists him, Yang Jiefu now regrets that there were too few killers sent at that time, if Yuan Zhang was killed, Tang Kuo's army would not have grown so quickly.

"As for replenishing troops and repairing the city defenses, it also requires a lot of money, and now the treasury has long been empty, in order to prepare for the funeral of the former emperor and the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty, the courtiers have not paid all the money for two months, maybe they can wait until the autumn tax is paid to be a little more relaxed, right?" It's just that now that there is turmoil in various places, I'm afraid that the autumn tax may not be collected smoothly, right?

"Isn't that a no-brainer?" The Queen Mother immediately became nervous, and suddenly lost her usual dignified seriousness.

"There's a third way." Seeing that the time had come, Yang Jiefu threw out his true purpose, "Maybe we can use Heqin to temporarily stabilize Tang Kuobu." ”

"And pro?" The Queen Mother hesitantly repeated these two words, "Since the founding of the country, my Great Wei has never had a precedent of being friendly with barbarians, I'm afraid this move is not in line with the ancestral system?" What's more, it's not easy to find a woman from the clan who is willing to go to Mobei, right? ”

They have all begun to consider the candidates, and what else do you say about the ancestral system? Yang Jiefu sneered in his heart, "Queen Mother, the clan has enjoyed the worship of the people of Great Wei for more than two hundred years, and now it is time for them to contribute to Great Wei; However, the issue of this candidate is indeed well discussed, this time it is the same as the pro-Mobei Africa, and it is necessary to choose a bold and careful woman, she will persuade Arubu to suspend the attack for the Great Wei, and secretly provoke disputes among the Mobei tribes, and the ordinary clan women may not be able to take on this big responsibility. ”

"I'm afraid that only those in the clan who have this ability are peaceful." The Queen Mother went through the women of the Jingzhong clan in detail, and turned out the answer that Yang Jiefu wanted her to say. But the fact is also true, these princesses and county lords in Beijing still understand some when it comes to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to invigorate blood, but when it comes to politics, she can only think of Li Lingyue.

"The Queen Mother is wise, but the Lord of Taiping has always been... has always gone his own way, I'm afraid it's not easy to convince. "When I thought of her, Yang Jiefu hated it deeply, if it weren't for Li Lingyue, Li Gui wouldn't have been so easy to sit back on the throne at the beginning; It's just that now that there is no Li You, Qian Hua and others, what else will she use to fight herself? Such a woman staying in Dawei is a scourge after all, so it is better to let her go to Mobei.

After all, the queen mother is a woman who has lived in the deep palace for many years, not a strange woman like Wu Zetian and Lu Pheasant, and she was completely convinced by Yang Jiefu in a few words, after Yang Jiefu said goodbye, a eunuch came out of the Changle Palace and went straight to the Taiping County Lord's Mansion, and after a while, Li Lingyue stepped into the palace again that she had not entered for a long time.

After a meaningless greeting, Li Lingyue heard the Queen Mother's words calmly, "...... Now the Mobei tribes are eyeing my Great Wei, and the Great Wei has no extra troops to resist, so the mourning family wants Taiping to let you go to Mobei and kiss, I don't know if Taiping is willing to marry Mobei for the people of Great Wei? ”

If you still care about the people of Great Wei, why did you collude with Yang Jiefu to summon King Yu into the palace in the first place? After experiencing many blows, Li Lingyue's last trace of awe for the Great Wei royal family also disappeared when the Queen Mother was about to sacrifice her, and she still maintained a calm expression and asked, "Why should I agree?" ”

The reaction of the county lord of Taiping at this time was completely beyond the expectations of the queen mother, in her impression, Taiping has always been a very well-behaved image in front of her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to use Yang Jiefu's excuse to say, "The clan has enjoyed the worship of the people of Great Wei for more than two hundred years, and now it is time for you to contribute to Great Wei." ”

"That's true, it's just that Taiping wants to ask, what have you done for them, who have also enjoyed the worship of the people of Great Wei for many years?" Li Lingyue sneered. (To be continued.) )
