Chapter 722: The Prince's Commanding Troops?

Su Xuanyong's voice fell, and the hall naturally caused a commotion, returning to the evil and seizing power, Yuezhao was defeated, and the Western Regions was in turmoil, and the words composed of these key words shocked many ministers.

The countries of the Western Regions, in their memory, are very stable, especially in the two prefectures of Gansu and Mongolia, where the Western Regions Protectorate was set up to monitor the movements of the countries in the Western Regions.

Coupled with the soldiers and horses of the two northwestern states, there are also 60,000 people, and after so many years, they have been peaceful and peaceful, and their lives are very stable.

You must know that a hundred years ago, in order to alleviate the threat from Darong in the north, Da Liang formulated a policy of peace and affinity, and married the countries of the Western Regions.

This policy lasted for a hundred years, and the effect was good, and the alliance between the two sides deepened the exchanges between the people of the two sides, and the border trade was beneficial to both sides.

Especially for so many years, Yue Zhao, who has been dominating the Western Regions Alliance, can be said to be a monopoly on power, and has a strong deterrent to the countries in the Western Regions below.

Coupled with the three princesses who married Yue Zhao ten years ago, the two sides are not as close as usual, but reliable allies are not false at all.

I didn't expect that after so many years of stability, such a major event would happen, allowing Hui Evil to seize power and dominate the countries of the Western Regions.

This made many ministers unable to understand for a while, their eyes flashed, and they opened their mouths to ask.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is going on here, how can the countries of the Western Regions rebel so much?"

This is what all the ministers are desperate to figure out, and even if they fight among themselves, they cannot be so appealing to join the other nations.

If it is really so easy, why should there be a peace policy that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, this is not a joke?

The ministers were puzzled, Su Xuanyong didn't bother to speak, and distributed the prepared military report, and the ministers looked at it, their eyes flashed, and soon their faces were a little angry.

The alliance of the Western Regions seems to be stable, but in fact, there are many internal contradictions, and the reason why it did not break out at the beginning was because of the strong suppression of the Yuezhao Kingdom, which suppressed the other countries.

But no country or tribe can always be strong, and there will always be times when it will decline.

And this just gives some people a chance, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to return to the evil, who has been suppressed by Yuezhao for so many years, but there is a great tribal monarch inside, Saktu.

When he was young, he started with thirteen bows and ten henchmen, and in just five or six years, he was torn apart.

Then he forbears and shows weakness, and waits for the opportunity until two years ago, when the lord of the Yue Zhao Kingdom died of illness, and when discussing the next lord of the alliance, he suddenly broke out and wiped out everyone in the alliance meeting in one fell swoop.

Then he quickly sent people to raid and captured the capital of Yuezhao in one fell swoop, thus capturing a large number of Yuezhao royal families.

And the big branch of the same three major forces is a wall-to-wall grass, and when the situation is not good, he immediately chooses to attach himself to Saktu.

It's not that the big branch doesn't want to resist, the main Saktu shows too much strength, there are 30,000 people under his command, each of them is a lord who doesn't want to die, dare to take the risk of raiding the Yuezhao national service, and successfully take it, which shocked the big branch lord.

Fighting with such a ruthless person, surrendering and surrendering is the best choice, with the support of the big branch, the lord of the Western Regions Alliance fell smoothly on Saktu.

And in addition to being good at big wars, this person is also very eloquent in terms of tongue, and he has made a big statement about the alliance with Da Liang for so many years, and their interests have been violated.

Every year, he has to pay a lot of tribute to Da Liang, and the lord of Yuezhao Kingdom, for his own selfishness, suppressed the countries of the Western Regions, and even licked his face and took refuge in Da Liang.

There is no difference between all kinds of behaviors and betrayal, and if you don't want an alliance leader like this, the countries of the Western Regions will have to renegotiate and gain greater autonomy.

Under the propaganda of Saktu, other countries that had been uncomfortable with Da Liang for so many years were agitated, and then quickly united.

has been silently waiting for the opportunity, after more than a year of accumulation, finally waited for the opportunity, officially launched the banner of opposing Da Liang's oppression of them, and Chen Bing 100,000 arrived at the border.

After learning the truth before and after the incident, many ministers in the DPRK and China scolded loudly.

"Hmph, a little evil spirit, dare to be disrespectful to me, it seems that their lives have been too good over the years, I don't know what it hurts."

"That's right, don't talk about an evil spirit, even if it's an alliance of these small countries, you have to teach a hard lesson, otherwise, where is the majesty of my Celestial Empire? Isn't it okay for any small country to despise and bully our DPRK at will? ”

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable, and I ask Your Majesty to give an order, immediately gather soldiers and horses, send troops to the northwest, and help the king protect the capital."

"Please give an order to your majesty to send troops to the northwest to exterminate the evil spirit!"

After a while, the voice of the ministers in the hall immediately sounded, asking for an order to crusade.

In their opinion, don't say that one evil is returned, even if there are ten evil spirits, this soldier will send anything he says.

If there is no reaction at all, then in the future, maybe some small garbage country, barbarian tribe, will dare to offend Da Liang, where is the power of Da Liang? Where is the dignity of His Majesty?

Su Qi'an stood in the first place, and the voice of the ministers was filled with righteous indignation echoing in his ears, and he did not open his mouth to echo.

It's not that they're afraid of a small evil, it's that they haven't figured out the essence behind it.

The reason why a small country in the Western Regions like Hui Evil was allowed to succeed and dare to come to the Great Liang was that in the final analysis, the Great Liang River was declining day by day, and the small country that did not dare to offend began to move.

Similarly, with the border of the Western Regions, the failure of the century-old peace policy was also announced.

Although Su Xuanyong didn't want to admit it, looking at Su Qi'an, who was silent below, of course he knew what Su Qi'an was thinking.

At this time, Su Xuanyong didn't go to him, and most of the intention of this summon was to let him listen to it and see if there was any opinion analysis, and in the end, it was not necessarily decided that Su Qi'an would go to the Western Regions to lead the troops into battle.

Looking at the excited courtiers in the hall, Su Qi'an waved his hand, signaled quiet, and said softly after his voice was lowered.

"The matter of sending troops, the widow also thinks so, it is easy to say that the army is dispatched, but the candidate for this leader of the army, I have to ask you to be able to share the worries of the widow."

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan, who was standing downward, stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the person who led the troops, the old minister has a suitable candidate, the old minister thinks that Ning Yuanhou is not bad, he has just returned from the northwest to change the defense, and he understands the defense of the northwest, and it is only appropriate for him to assist Wang Du to protect it." ”

Regarding the candidate recommended by Zheng Yuan, Su Xuanyong's face did not show too much joy, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Ministers, are there other candidates?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Marquis of Zhenjiang is feasible, and he has just returned from Ningzhou recently, and he has experience in fighting with Darong, so this trip to the northwest is not bad." It was Zhao Cheng who spoke.

"Well, are there any other recommendations?" Su Xuanyong looked nonchalant and continued to ask.

Hearing this, the other six officials also spoke one after another, and began to recommend candidates for each, most of them recommended some military marquis, and the strange thing is that among so many recommended people, only Su Qi'an's name was missing.

This somewhat surprised Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an would not be stupid enough to think that these courtiers were very good to him, and the harmony between the two sides was just a show.

At this time, Su Qi'an should be recommended, after all, it will hurt to hold him high and fall down when the time comes.

But listening to so many recommended candidates, there is no name for him, as if he has forgotten him.

What these courtiers think, Su Qi'an didn't have the heart to care, since no one recommended him, he could also be at ease, so he stood aside and didn't say a word.

With the passage of time, the ministers of the DPRK and China successively recommended at least a dozen military marquis, but in the end Su Xuanyong was not satisfied.

He looked at the people below and said coldly, "Widow, can you think about it, is this battle in the northwest, the people you recommend, really suitable!" Are we dealing with just the so-called small evil countries? ”

"If that's the case, will the widow be able to summon you in a hurry? Could it be that there is no suitable leader in the great cold? ”

The ministers of the palace, everyone can feel that Su Xuanyong is a little angry.

As Su Xuanyong said, if it was only dealing with a small country in the Western Regions, how could Su Xuanyong so formally summon the ministers of the DPRK and China.

A rising evil spirit, and dominate the entire Western Regions, this is not terrible, even if Saktu is strong, just such a few people, if he really fights alone, with the strength of Da Liang, he can be consumed to death.

But what Su Xuanyong wanted was how Saktu could unify the divided Hui evil in just four or five years, and take down the overlord Yuezhao, and take advantage of the situation to connect the countries of the Western Regions.

The so-called outstanding talent and super strength are just excuses, and there is only one reason for any country that has risen again, especially a small country, and behind him, there are external forces to support him.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to defeat Yue Zhao in just one or two years, unify the Western Regions, and have the courage to Chen Bing on the border and openly call out Da Liang.

If there is no one behind this, the ghost will believe it, don't even think about it, behind Saktu, there must be the shadow of Da Rong.

Originally, the countries of the Western Regions and Daliang formed an alliance to jointly resist Darong, and with the geographical location, with the blessing of both sides, the northwest has been stable for many years, and at the same time, it has also divided the positive pressure on Ningzhou.

But only a few years have passed, and Darong's hand has stretched out so far, wanting to take advantage of the turmoil in the Western Regions to test the northwest of Daliang.

This is not a good sign, if it can't be solved cleanly this time, the two northwestern states are afraid that there will be endless troubles.

And some of the military marquis recommended by the courtiers have the ability to command troops, but if they really want to face Darong, they are still a lot worse.

This battle is not a battle for military merit, it is a kind of deterrent to Darong who supports the countries of the Western Regions, and let it watch, even if Da Liang is declining, it is not something that any cat or dog can provoke.

In addition to being brave and strategic, the people who supervised the war this time must also have courage, decisiveness, majesty, and strength are indispensable.

Obviously, the more than ten people recommended just now are not suitable candidates.

The courtiers in the palace also remained silent and did not speak, but at this time, Su Zhe and Su Tai, who were standing on the side, spoke.

"Back to my father, I think the person who commanded the army this time, let the sons and daughters go."
