Volume 1: Peach Blossom Chapter 9: Yang Liu does not follow (9)

Recently, Beidi is ready to move in the northwest again, and there are signs of a large number of troops stationed in the border cities in southern Xinjiang. Due to the frequent deployment of troops in Beidi and southern Xinjiang, the border defense of the two cities was unstable.

Since Xuanyuan Ling Tian couldn't afford to be poisoned, the self-righteous thieves in the neighboring countries have become more and more rampant in their coveting of Da Yue. Relying on their brave men and horses, and their iron horses are fierce, they always peep into Dayue's territory. Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty are relatively peaceful and calm on the surface, who knows...... Could it harbor evil intentions?

Under the appearance of indisputability, I will give you a robbery! As the so-called snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins. At present, although the situation is not so serious, it has to be guarded against in order to protect itself. Fortunately, God bless Dayue! After the fall of Xuanyuan Lingtian, the God of War Martial Saint King, the heavens were endless, and a Shangguan Qi was miraculously born! Otherwise, the Great Yue Dynasty will be in danger!

In the past 50 years, the Dayue Dynasty has emphasized literature and light military force, and the military generals have not been accepted. And the Xuanyuan family, the god of war, who has always protected Dayue, has gradually withered, and it is difficult to continue their talents. The descendants of the Xuanyuan royal family are four generations of single transmission. Even though there are countless wives and concubines, visiting famous doctors all over the world will not help. And the situation of his own family, since the time of the first emperor, there are not many heirs. Even if he has only four sons, three daughters have grown up. If we talk about cause and effect, among them, there are people and disasters and fortunes...... The combination of many factors has caused today's worrying situation.

Just when Emperor Jianwu wanted to get into his mind, Shangguan Qi was already led by Gonggong Li to the palace road outside the door of the imperial study. Gonggong Li politely said to Shangguan Qi: "Please go to the side hall for a while, and the slave maid will go to the imperial study first to tell the emperor." ”

Shangguan Qi nodded slightly, and said lightly: "It's okay, father-in-law, please!" ”

Seeing that Shangguan Qi had his own charter, Gonggong Li no longer hesitated, bowed sixty degrees, and bowed to the man in a proper manner.

The man stands solemnly, with his hands folded, his left hand on top, palm down, pushing from his chest outward, standing without prostrating. returned the salute to Gonggong Li.

After Gonggong Li gave the salute, he straightened up and shook off the dust, and walked to the imperial study in all directions.

Shangguan Qi looked at Gonggong Li's back for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head slightly. The mid-autumn sun, even at midday, is no longer so scorching. However, it is still dazzlingly white. The man's index finger rubbed the purple jade wrench on his thumb, and his mind drifted away.

After a while, the eunuch was heard shouting in a shrill voice: "Xuan-the prince of Prince Rong, the general of the patriotic country, has come to meet you!" ”

"Xuan-Patriotic General Prince Rong is here!"

As another sharp shout sounded, Shangguan Qi's mind turned around. He politely straightened the crown of the dragon of the purple gold Yinglong, straightened out the folds that did not exist on the dragon-style court clothes, and went to meet his imperial uncle, Emperor Jianwu, without hurrying.

As soon as Shangguan Qi entered the imperial study, he saw Emperor Jianwu holding a fold in his hand, with a pensive look on his eyebrows. Seeing this, he lowered his head and knelt on one knee, gave a bow, and sang at the same time: "Your Majesty Shangguan Qi, see the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the emperor looked up at him in response, and said with a solemn expression: "Flat." Loyalty, give a seat to the general of the country. ”

Gonggong Li, who was next to him, got the order, and immediately went to the lower left of the imperial case, and moved out a handsome huanghuali wood carved lacquer seat without armrests from under the yellow rosewood square table. When Shangguan Qi sat down at the coffee table, the little palace maid served a cup of hot tea in time.

After Emperor Jianwu saw that Shangguan Qi had been properly settled, he said quietly: "You can take a look at this excerpt." As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for Gonggong Li to take the fold to Shangguan Qi.

Gonggong Li hurriedly walked over again, stretched out his hand and carefully passed the fold from Emperor Jianwu's finger, moved a few steps, and walked to Shangguan Qi with both hands.

Shangguan Qi took the fold in Gonggong Li's hand, and casually unfolded the fold and looked at it. He read it at a glance, and then raised his hand to hand it back to Gonggong Li.

Rubbing his purple jade wrench, frowning and pondering for a moment, he bowed to Emperor Jianwu, stared at Emperor Jianwu's eyebrows, and pondered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty feels that the most important thing at present is nothing more than increasing the troops at the border gates, arranging the whole army, and preparing for war at any time." ”

Shangguan Qi said, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jianwu's face, and muttered: "At the same time, send people to secretly disturb the courts of these two countries, so that they can mess up and take care of themselves. In addition, if there is an alliance, they will break the alliance between them, sow discord, and divide and attack them. As far as my Dayue's current national strength is concerned, it is really not appropriate to make a big move, and it is best to surrender without a fight. In this way, the best policy is the best way. ”

Emperor Jianwu's eyes sank when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Yes! The current Da Yue is still very sick and weak! A large-scale mobilization of troops will definitely damage the country's capital. But now the situation is ...... It's nothing more than a delaying tactic! Qi's proposal...... I also thought that it was inevitable to increase the number of troops, but three passes, five border cities, at least 300,000 troops. As for the deployment of troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it for a while. And the method of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is really not advisable. Moreover, disturbing their court, I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near. How do you know that they sent troops...... Could it be earlier? ”

"Your Majesty thinks so, and in terms of dispatching troops, Your Majesty suggests that a small amount be transferred. Based on the 50 large frontier cities lined up in the southeast, the establishment of one city is 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 2,000 people are drawn from each city, and 50 cities are 100,000. The same is true for the recruitment of soldiers and horses in the northeastern territory. However, due to the fact that most of the cities in the northeast region are not as large and concentrated as those in the southeast, the number of 50,000 can be transferred. The remaining 150,000 were seconded in the Chinese army battalion. All the troops assembled were mainly in the northwest and southwest of the three passes and five cities. When garrisoning, the first pass, then the city, to the pass. At the same time, the four sides are flanking each other. If there is a need in wartime, and the other side has no war, they can rush to each other's aid! As for the number of people galloping to help, it can be appropriately allocated according to the actual situation of the three parties. Shangguan Qi methodically explained his strategy to Emperor Jianwu.

"As for the matter of disrupting the two countries' courts, the reason why His Majesty is planning like this is because even if it can't change the occurrence of the war, it can still bring some benefits to my Dayue, which is beneficial and harmless. Even, let it withdraw its troops as soon as possible and stop fighting. Your Majesty thinks...... The combination of civil and military use has the best results. The use of force, such as poisoning, assassination, spreading false plagues, and so on. Literary use, creating rumors, using Taoist predictions to incite people's minds, to make them believe that they will be punished by heaven for starting a war! The ultimate goal is to panic the people and shake the morale of the country and the army. If the emperor is relieved about this matter, he will hand it over to his ministers to arrange the layout - send people to do it. Qi promises that he will be able to achieve what he wants. Moreover, once the enemy country comes to attack, Qi will take the lead and die for Da Yue! ”
