Chapter 262: Jun Qian asked
Mr. Liu may lie, but Guo Rong knows that Li Yu will never lie.
Mr. Liu's letter of request for help may have conspiracy, but Li Yu sent Mr. Liu's request for help to Chang'an as soon as possible, at least indicating that something did happen in Liaodong.
Li Yu is definitely trustworthy, but Li Yu is not an immortal, so it is impossible for Li Yu to directly grasp all the situations in Liaodong, Lulong, and even the entire Hebei Province.
Sending the news he has to Chang'an, and then preparing for both defense and attack is already all Li Yu can do, Guo Rong really can't ask for more.
It's just that everything didn't go according to the trajectory that Guo Rong hoped for, and it was okay at first, but as time passed, more and more news came to Chang'an.
Compared with other sources and news that does not distinguish between truth and falsehood, Guo Rong believes more in the scouts he left in Hebei Province, and the information they provide is the most powerful support for his own actions.
It's just that the news that Guo Rong was looking forward to was much later than he expected.
One, two, three......
The news that Guo Rong was waiting for did not come, but ......
What Goguryeo came back from the dead, what Liaodong aliens went south, what Silla and Baekje rebelled again,
Like this, more and more gossip began to circulate inadvertently on the streets and alleys of Chang'an, Guo Rong can not care about these, but not everyone is like Guo Rong.
As time passed, all kinds of unsolicited news continued to ferment, from the initial alien southward movement, the rebellion of Silla and Baekje, to the collapse of the Lu Yong army......
Along with it, the entire Chang'an began to appear in an unstable situation.
However, for Guo Rong, the most troublesome thing is not only these citizens of Chang'an who are not strong in discernment, but those who think they have thinking, logic and discernment.
In their eyes, the rebellion in Liaodong is not a bad thing, on the contrary, Mr. Liu's Lulong army was defeated and retreated, which was a good time for the imperial court to take the opportunity to march into Lulong, recover Hebei, and recover Liaodong.
What's even worse is that it is the main battle faction that now occupies the mainstream above the imperial court!
In the eyes of the main battle faction, Lu Longjiedu made President Liu take the initiative to ask the imperial court to send troops into Liaodong, whether it was really defeated, or it was a conspiracy to lure the imperial court to send troops, it was not important.
The important thing is that in their eyes, Mr. Liu's behavior is undoubtedly that he offered his own chrysanthemum, giving the imperial court a legitimate opportunity to march into Lulong and Liaodong.
If it was before, when the Tang Dynasty declined and the power of the imperial court fell, even if there was a chance, it would be useless, after all, although the Shence army that put the eunuchs in charge was powerful, it was essentially an ornament.
But today is different from the past, the current Datang people are united, the current Datang is thriving, and the current Datang has moved towards the road of rejuvenation.
What's more, Chang'an now has a strong army in the world that has been trained and proven, and even Tubo, which once captured Chang'an and forced the Tang Dynasty into a desperate situation, and almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty, has been beaten to its knees and begged for mercy.
At this time, Mr. Liu showed his chrysanthemum, so he should seize the opportunity, regardless of whether he is a trap or not, and go up and stab him first! ….
These sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks have brought the greatest pressure to Guo Rong.
In the first day or two, they were able to hold on calmly, but as time went by, they found that Guo Rong, who was now in charge of the forbidden army of the Northern Ya Fourth Army and the Twelve Guards of the Southern Ya in Chang'an, did not show any reaction, which caused their dissatisfaction.
A few days later, Wu Yuanheng, one of the prime ministers of the dynasty, directly reprimanded Guo Rong at the court meeting, asking the emperor to send troops to Hebei, completely recover Hebei, and march into Liaodong.
Wu Yuanheng's words undoubtedly touched Li Chun's heartstrings.
Although he is an emperor who has been set aside and does not hold real power, it does not mean that Li Chun is a real wreck, on the contrary, Li Chun, who is just thirty years old and in the prime of life, is full of confidence in the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding the changes in Liaodong, Li Chun hopes to seize the opportunity, and whether it is possible to be trapped
Li Chun is also worried about the problem of traps, but in his opinion, even if there are traps, he should try it.
So, with a hot brain, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Chun directly sent his personal eunuch to the Forbidden Garden to summon Guo Rong.
And, seeing Li Chun's personal eunuch suddenly appear in front of him, Guo Rong was quite surprised, after all, this was the first time that Li Chun had summoned him as an emperor in more than four years since he arrived in Chang'an.
For Guo Rong, Li Chun is the most embarrassing person facing the entire Tang Dynasty now, and there is no one.
Li Chun is nominally the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but everyone knows that the real person of the Tang Dynasty is the Emperor Li Xu, and Guo Rong is in the eyes of everyone, and the Emperor Taishang's cronies who have Li Yu written on the door of their heads.
As the commander of the emperor's army, it is obviously not a good thing to get too close to the prince, but although he is the prince, he is the emperor as the prince, which means that Li Chun will definitely become his real boss.
Therefore, although Guo Rong is very insensitive to politics, he still keeps a distance from Li Chun as much as possible, of course, Li Chun, who knows his identity, is also very measured, but this time......
Guo Rong would definitely not take any action until the scouts in Liaodong sent the news back, but Guo Rong could ignore the pressure given by others, but Guo Rong could not help but respond to the request of the nominal emperor and future boss.
In the previous period, Guo Rong would definitely put everything on the body of the Emperor Li Yu, but although Guo Rong still doesn't like politics and intrigue, he has a lot more things to consider.
The Emperor Taishang can protect himself for a while, but he can't protect himself for a lifetime.
This time it is actually very simple to push it to the Emperor Taishang, but it will undoubtedly plant some bad seeds in Li Chun's heart, such as the forbidden army.
The forbidden army was established by himself from the beginning, and the emperor knew it, but Li Chun, as the emperor, told the truth, but he didn't know enough, to be precise, Li Chun was even deliberately avoiding all things related to the army.
Of course, Li Chun's abandonment of military power is not a bad thing for the Tang Dynasty, because completely giving up military power and concentrating on the development of science and technology and economy is also an important reason why the two emperors, Li Yu and Li Chun, coexist and complement each other. ….
This extremely strange way of getting along makes Guo Rong feel that the current Tang Dynasty is very similar to the political system of later generations.
As the president or head of the country, one person controls the overall situation, controls the direction, controls the army, reviews the army from time to time, visits abroad, diplomacy, and the other head of government, leads a circle of governors, and is in charge of internal affairs, economy, and culture......
This father and son, who have a very high IQ and high political literacy, play the political system and mutual checks and balances of later generations perfectly.
All this is good for the father and son, good for the imperial court, and good for the Tang Dynasty, but it is only a huge challenge for Guo Rong.
Because, the Changying Army established by Guo Rong is already the biggest trump card in the Tang Dynasty, and the forbidden army rebuilt with the Changying Army as the core is the confidence of the Datang Center.
In fact, even the Wolong and Phoenix chicks dare to shout, and Mr. Liu's juhua also has such a reliance, otherwise Mr. Liu, who has raised hundreds of little monks, will definitely let them know why the flowers are red and why the flowers are so gorgeous!
The four forbidden armies that already have a framework and have combat effectiveness, plus the twelve guards that are being rebuilt, this is equivalent to all the garrisons in the entire Chang'an controlled by Guo Rong, in a sense, Guo Rong is the most powerful person in Chang'an now.
It is even more powerful than Ju Wenzhen, who once controlled most of the demigod army and launched a rebellion in Chang'an.
If Guo Rong suddenly launched a rebellion now, then whether it was Li Yu, Li Chun, or Wu Yuanheng, Wei Guanzhi and other Zaifu, there would be no chance and ability to resist at all.
Guo Rong can have his current status, it is because Comrade Taishanghuang's trust in himself has reached a full level, even if he wants to brush it, he can only improve his favorability, and it is impossible to increase the degree of trust value.
But for Li Chun, the emperor of the prison country, Guo Rong felt that the degree of trust could be six
Success or seven achievements are already thankful.
Sixty to seventy percent of the trust level is not enough for him to continue to control Chang'an in the post-Li Yu era.
Judging by Guo Rong's ability to Li Chun now, this master is definitely not worse than his father Li Chen, and even if he knows that he is a loyal minister, he will definitely take him down.
Of course, this is not Li Chun's problem, in fact, put yourself in Li Chun's position, if the person who controls Chang'an is not the person he absolutely trusts, Guo Rong himself will definitely not be able to sleep well.
Inadvertently, Guo Rong suddenly discovered that he was no longer the doll who needed to rely on others to shelter himself from the wind and rain.
I thought about the purpose of my coming to Chang'an, and thought about the old men who were sticking to Anxi, and when it was time for me to guard the Tang Dynasty.
After understanding his situation and determining his thoughts, he did not, did not hesitate, did not wait, and directly followed the eunuch sent by Li Chun into the palace.
The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, and if she wants to go back to Anxi, she has to go through the Hexi Corridor, which is tantamount to a war of annihilation for Tibet.
And that level of war, without the strength of the country, without Li Chun's support is impossible to achieve, since Li Yu has summoned, then go, with the help of answering questions, really establish a benign relationship with the Tang Emperor.
The eunuch went fast and came back quickly, but when Guo Rong followed the eunuch to the palace without any hesitation, the embarrassed one should not become Li Chun. ….
In Guo Rong's eyes, Li Chun, who has become the emperor, is equivalent to the future boss, but in Li Chun's eyes, as long as he does not really grasp the real power for a day, and the life and death are all in the thoughts of his father, he is just a prince with the title of emperor, and he is just a prince of the prison country.
Without the consent of the real speaker of the Tang Dynasty, a prince of the prison country dared to summon the general with a heavy army to his side without permission, which is tantamount to actively provoking the authority of the speaker, which is basically similar to looking for death.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister's expectations for Hebei and Liaodong are no different from Your Majesty, but the minister thinks that before there is definite news at the moment, it is better to be still."
Guo Rong took the initiative to speak, more or less covering up Li Chun's embarrassment, and at the same time making Li Chun have a strong curiosity.
"Oh, General Guo is going to be safe?"
Ji will be released, Guo Rong sighed slightly in his heart, this is equivalent to asking "Yuan Fang, what do you think...... This is an advanced word that can only be enjoyed by high-end strategists.
After a moment of surprise, Guo Rong followed his own ideas step by step and analyzed Li Chun from scratch.
"Your Majesty, when I followed the Emperor Taishang to Xuanwu and Pinglu in the east, and went north to Hebei Province, the minister had considered various problems that might arise in Hebei.
"Before Pinglu was still alive, and there were no envoys from the two towns of Hebei and Lubei, the forces of the feudal towns of Henan and Hebei were connected, not to mention the Lulong turmoil, that is, they wanted to join forces to commit rebellion, and the imperial court did not have many ways to restrain it."
"However, after Li Yutun's army in Jingzhou, everything changed, the imperial court had Xuanwu ...... in Henan, ...... in Hebei, and ...... in Hedong, and the elite soldiers under Li Yu's department were more like a dagger, nailed to their chests."
"Therefore, the minister thinks that what the imperial court needs now is stability, stabilize the situation, stabilize the position, and stabilize Chang'an, as long as Chang'an is not chaotic and Guanzhong is not chaotic, then the feudal towns of Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Hedong Province will honestly obey the imperial court's assignment."
"In this case, if it is just a temptation, the three towns of Hebei will not dare to act rashly, after all, there is no turning back from the bow, if the three towns of Hebei really want to make a move, as long as the Hebei army and the Lubei army are still there, the situation in the Tang Dynasty will not be eroded in a short time, and the imperial court will naturally adjust it calmly."
"On the contrary, without knowing the true situation, once the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are defeated or Li Yu's troops suffer heavy losses, the initiative of the imperial court will be completely lost."
"Your Majesty, don't forget, we need to face more than just Lu Longjun and Hebei feudal towns right now!"
"Tibet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we don't know what conspiracy Mr. Liu is playing, but the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tubo people are coming towards our Tang Dynasty day and night, Your Majesty knows it, this time the Tubo people's plot is not small, once the main force of our army is transferred east, it will ......
Looking at Li Chun, who nodded again and again, Guo Rong suddenly remembered the old calendar that had surprised Guo Rong himself.
"Your Majesty, please say something rebellious!" ….
"Great rebellion? Guo Rong, you just say it, how it is in front of my father, how it is in front of me, there is no need to worry!"
"In the past, when An Lushan and Shi Siming were in turmoil, under the sudden attack of the Hebei rebels, all parts of Shandong quickly fell, and even the eastern capital Luoyang fell into the hands of the rebels, but at this time, Tongguan was still there, and Chang'an and Guanzhong were not affected,"
"With the battle situation at that time, the two generals Gao and Feng gathered the remnants of the army, organized and trained soldiers and horses, and defended Tongguan, as long as they held on to Tongguan for a year and a half, the morale and strength of the rebels would inevitably decline, and the strong national strength of our Datang Dynasty could be fully utilized, and the time came......
Guo Rong didn't continue, but Li Chun knew what Guo Rong had skipped.
"Your Majesty, looking back, how dangerous An Lushan and Shi Siming were in the past to wreak havoc on most of the Tang Dynasty, and how rampant Tubo was in the past, even capturing Chang'an, discrediting my Tang Dynasty, but now, where are they?"
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the ministers, even if they fall into a crisis for a while, as long as they calm down, as long as they wait for my Datang to recover their breath, all the ghosts and spirits are just the merits of soldiers loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and they are just bricks and tiles of Your Majesty's great achievements."
"As long as Chang'an is not chaotic, Guanzhong is not chaotic, and the court is not chaotic, Datang will not be chaotic!"
Halfway through his impassioned speech, Guo Rong was directly stunned, and he found that Li Chun in front of him was laughing. To be precise, the kind of smile that I couldn't hold back after holding on for a long time, I was a little confused in an instant.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with that?"
"Do you know what your father thinks of you?"
Guo Rong shook his head violently, looking confused.
"Father has only one word for you!"
