Yuan Kui's expectation with a hint of luck was quickly disappointed!

When he communicated with the other family leaders and made certain preparations, Li Yuan quickly put forward a suggestion in the court that made Yuan Kui and the other family ministers tremble.

“…… The nomadic people such as the Xiongnu and the elders of the northern land have been suffering for a long time, and the ancestors still have the siege of Baideng and regard the great shame and humiliation, and the Xiongnu were broken and a little peaceful for less than a hundred years when Emperor Wu. Now, after the Xiongnu and other nomads recovered a little, they regarded the northern land as a hunting ground and became more and more unbridled, and the year before last, the Wuheng tribe openly supported the rebels and tried to provoke the prestige of the Han family!

The minister's department, Gongsun Thorn History, and Liu Thorn Shi successively attacked the Wuheng Department and the Xianbei Department the year before and last year, temporarily relieving the grassland threat facing Youzhou and Bingzhou. Now there is only a direct threat to the state, and the Northern Xiongnu, who have more than 100,000 men in control, are the great enemies of the Han family, and many Qiang tribes in the Liangzhou Department should not be underestimated.

Therefore, for the sake of the fathers and villagers of the Han family in the north, the minister implores the empress dowager to authorize the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, completely destroy the threat of the Northern Xiongnu and Qiang Tribes, and remove the great trouble of the border fortress for the Han family!"

In just a few days, Li Yuan, who was standing in the main hall, sang a high-pitched voice to the others in the court conference without blushing or beating his heart, and his expression of serving the country and the people was indeed worthy of the experience he had experienced in the world of "Rebellious Lelouxiu", and people who didn't know couldn't see Li Yuan's inner thoughts at all.

However, even if they didn't know Li Yuan's plans, these old foxes in the hall would not easily believe Li Yuan's words, not to mention that Empress Dowager He, Yuan Kui and others had all seen what Li Yuan had deliberately thrown.

[And so it was!] Do you really want to use military merit as a bargaining chip to implement the military merit Tianjue system?! 】

[This sub-grade is not too big, but if according to his ideas, after the Northern Expedition defeated the Huns, he proposed to restore the military merit Tianjue system, it would inevitably make the warriors return to their hearts! 】

[Never let Li Zisheng's plot succeed......] ......

Hear Li Yuan's words. No one in the main hall spoke or responded for a while, and whether it was the Empress Dowager He who was sitting on the top of the main hall, or Ding Yuan, Yuan Kui and others on the side, all kinds of different but similar thoughts flashed in their hearts.

Empress Dowager He didn't expect that Li Yuan would so quickly put forward the idea of casually saying on his bed and the intention of presenting a few compromises. This made Empress Dowager He, who had already made up her mind, after watching the performance of Li Yuan, Yuan Kui and others. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.

——When discussing with Ding Yuan before, Empress Dowager He determined from Ding Yuan's mouth that if Li Yuan followed his action steps, the family would have to be slowly played to death, and then the family would now have to fight!

In contrast, Ding Yuan saw Li Yuan, who was arrogant, and looked at the face of the minister of the family, and he was secretly refreshed in his heart, but also sighed with a hint of emotion, feeling that Li Yuan was a ruthless guy. After facing a family that has already been quite prepared, whether it will realize its dream is two words.

Compared with the leisurely attitude of Empress Dowager He and Ding Yuan and other members of the royal family, Yuan Kui and other ministers from the family were in an extremely complicated mood, and their eyes were quite unkind when they looked at Li Yuan.

If before Li Yuan expressed his intention to go on the Northern Expedition, Yuan Kui and other ministers of the family were still skeptical about whether Li Yuan would carry out the actions on those blank sheets of paper, now that Li Yuan took the initiative to propose the Northern Expedition, this possibility has changed from speculation to half to half - don't think that Yuan Kui and the others have no brains. Although the news given by Ding Yuan was very strong, Yuan Kui and others were not stupid. For Li Yuan, he did not directly choose confrontation, but prepared to make a decision!

"Exactly! The mourning family also understands that the Xiongnu are the great enemies of the Han family, and the general of the Che Cavalry must win the northern expedition in order to sacrifice the Taimiao!"

After a few seconds of silence, Empress Dowager He slowly spoke. Said in a very supportive tone.

Well, of course Empress Dowager He supported it, anyway, seeing the faces and mutual glances of Yuan Kui and the others below, she understood that the news that she asked Ding Yuan to carefully send to Yuan Kui was confirmed!

Now, in the face of Li Yuan's request for a northern expedition. Of course, Empress Dowager He, who had made a decision before, would not object, and even on the surface, she had to strongly agree with Li Yuan's proposal to march north, otherwise if Li Yuan did not conflict with the family, how could she defend her son Liu......

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Indeed, what the general of the Che Cavalry said is very true, the Xiongnu are the great enemies of the Han family, and the northern expedition is inevitable!"

"Seconded! Han Jiaerlang is indeed going to sweep the grassland again!"

"However, the treasury of the imperial court does not have much money and food ...... at present......

When Empress Dowager He spoke in agreement, her confidant Ding Yuan was the first to jump out to express her support, and then more than a dozen ministers from the royal family also stood up to express their support.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Kui sighed slightly in his heart, and also took the initiative to stand up and express his support for the Northern Expedition, and the ministers of the family who then stood up expressed their support for the proposal of the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, which was absolutely politically correct in the Han Dynasty, but expressed their unoptimistic proposal for the cost of the Northern Expedition.

Well, there is no money and grain in the treasury of the subordinate palaces of the imperial court, this is indeed a fact!

In fact, the Youzhou Army under the command of Li Yuan basically controlled the arsenals, large grain depots, Taimiao, the mansions of the general He Jin and the cavalry general He Miao, and the mansions and industries of the ten permanent stays during the Luoyang Rebellion.

But for the Northern Expedition, which at least has to mobilize tens of millions of people and more than 200,000 troops, the money and food that need to be allocated by the army in advance can be described as an astronomical amount, not to mention the terrifying money and food consumed after the start of the war (during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the combat consumption of the army maintained on the grassland almost dragged down the entire country), anyway, this kind of terrifying consumption of the family would never take it out by themselves, and they directly threw this big bottomless pot to Li Yuan.

Moreover, Yuan Kui and others also tried to use this method to make Li Yuan understand the unreality of such a thing as the Northern Expedition, so as to give up the idea of suppressing the family......

"Don't worry about money and food! The money and food are ready!!"

Regarding the expectations of Yuan Kui and the others, Li Yuan smiled and revealed a row of white teeth that showed a reflection like a blade, and said confidently: "I have negotiated with Gongsun Thorn Shi and Liu Thorn Shi, they will mobilize 50,000 Han cavalry as auxiliaries, and Liangzhou can also provide 10,000 cavalry, plus more than 100,000 cavalry and infantry mobilized by Si Li. The situation of the 200,000 army and the follow-up people is almost ready!"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, whether it was Empress Dowager He or Yuan Kui and the others, their faces changed slightly, they didn't expect that Li Yuan had already made preparations!

[Hehe, I don't believe it, you can still sit still......]

Look at the cold reaction in the main hall. The smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth became more and more obvious.

Now, Li Yuan has started to implement the relevant bait selection, what will the royal family and the family react to, Li Yuan said that he is looking forward to it!

……

A few days later, a school field outside Luoyang City.

In the school field, a group of well-equipped cavalry and foot soldiers began to open this military camp one after another, and with the abundance of a large number of animal transport vehicles carrying and transporting logistics materials, they began to make great strides in the direction of the northern annexation of the state, preparing to assemble with the newly formed Gongsun Zhan's army under the command of the state. The Northern Xiongnu launched a campaign to conquer the north.

It can be seen that in addition to the reorganized Youzhou Army (referring to the remnants of the original Liangzhou Army, the Bingzhou Army and the Luoyang Army), there are many rangers and warriors who have just passed the martial arts, and there are even some scattered rangers who follow behind the army, ready to follow the army to the northern grassland, and use military merits to give themselves and their descendants a background - during the Han Dynasty, rangers and other civilian armed forces would also follow behind the army for military merits. If the ranger obtains military merits in battle, he may directly become an officer or even get ahead!

"Source. Even Sister Estes has been sent out to command! Looks like you're planning to lure the snake out of the hole?!"

After seeing that the tens of thousands of military camps quickly became empty, on the small hill next to the barracks, Poison Island Gang Zi rode up to Li Yuan's side and asked Li Yuan with great interest.

"Of course!"

Hearing Poison Island Yanzi's words, Li Yuan, who was just paying attention to the departure of this military camp, nodded without hesitation, and said in a voice that was not deliberately suppressed: "If the army and strong people in Luoyang are not reduced to a certain extent. How could those families have the guts to make some small moves? And it's starting to be connected!"

Well, in the face of Li Yuan's premeditated plan for the Northern Expedition, although the family already had a feeling of impatience, Luoyang and Si Li are now stationed with a large number of elite soldiers under Li Yuan, and even Dong Feifei, who has no foreign enemies, does not dare to object. The families who have lost a lot of strength in their hands and do not have any advantages, will they be stupid enough to rise directly in Luoyang? That is a mockery of the intelligence of the heads of many families in Luoyang City!

Now even if Li Yuan has shown Chiguoguo's malice towards the family, and the family led by Yuan Kui has obtained Li Yuan's new performance to the Empress Dowager He through various channels, as well as the situation in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and Sili, and other places, they did not choose to immediately jump out to provoke Li Yuan, who held heavy troops, on the contrary, on the surface, they still seemed to agree with the battle of the northern expedition, and even the family took the initiative to publicize the battle of the northern expedition that was not yet ready to start, and agitated to defeat the old enemy Xiongnu, And then in private, he quickly carried out tandem and did some other small actions.

What made Li Yuan's brows beat slightly was that in addition to the family who made small moves, the Empress Dowager He in the palace also gave Ding Yuan an order, so that Ding Yuan began to draw in other neutrals and powerful factions in Luoyang City as a link.

For example, a few days ago, the white ghost reported to Li Yuan, saying that Ding Yuan quietly came forward and contacted the only three top neutral generals in Luoyang City, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, and the family did not lag behind, and the Yuan family continued to send gifts and beautiful singers to the three of them to carry out co-optation actions!

Obviously, Empress Dowager He has now listened to Ding Yuan's words, and fully realized the meaning of the famous saying "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and began to quietly win over trustworthy forces. And the families understand that it is not easy to bring down Li Yuan, and they are even more eager for the families in Luoyang City who have lost most of their latent forces, and they are quite eager for the three top generals with a neutral position......

"Husband, when will they do it? Before the official start of the war? Or is it when the war is scorching?"

Listening to Li Yuan's words, the beautiful eyes of Poison Island Tsuneko looked at Dian Wei and the other members of the guards who were standing dozens of meters behind him, his face unchanged, before he turned his head and asked Li Yuan his own questions.

Although the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole is good, it is very knowledgeable that the family will choose when to do it. And in the face of such a thing as the battle of the Northern Expedition, the brains of the families are definitely not stupid, and they will not do it like the stupid X's who borrowed the help of the teacher to suppress the X, and thought to the Northern Huns that after the other party defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army, they would not let the horse go south, right?

"It's hard to say, in terms of normal reason, the families should choose the right opportunity to do it, but if those families can work together, the old Liu family is estimated to have become a constitutional monarchy long ago!"

Regarding Poison Island's question, Li Yuan spread his hands and said that he was not very sure about the situation now.

After all, the intelligence personnel and detection methods of the White Ghost are more than enough to investigate the arrangements of those families, but if the other party is only in the preparation stage, and even Yuan Kui and other family leaders have not yet decided when to do it, Li Yuan will certainly not be able to obtain accurate information.

The only thing that can be determined is that the families were really pushed to the edge of a blind corner by Li Yuan this time, and after seeing the information collected from the palace and other channels, including most of the families who had thought of compromising with Li Yuan to accept the imperial examination, they had no way out, and they had to defeat Li Yuan before Li Yuan won the battle to conquer the north and introduced those harsh policies!

Otherwise, once Li Yuan won the victory in the battle against the Xiongnu, then his prestige would rise in the Han Dynasty, and Li Yuan, who had gained prestige and righteousness in his hands, implemented the stage of restricting the family's decree and supporting the military nobles, it would be futile for the families to resist again, and it was likely that there would be no room for resistance, just like those cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, they could only shout twice in the face of the butcher holding a steel knife, and then it became a delicacy in people's mouths.

The family, which definitely doesn't want to become Li Yuan's mouth, will definitely resist, but the family has not yet adjusted and decided to start the time, so it is now out of tandem and preparation for secretly attacking......

"Well~!I'm looking forward to what those families and the women in the palace can do!" (To be continued.) )
