The green mountains are long, the ancient road is yellow sand, and the side of the emperor is silent for a moment. Everyone turned their heads to look at Gao Yanzong.

The royal king stood proudly in front of the emperor and asked to lead his army into battle. The emperor opened the curtain, looked at him fixedly, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Brother Wang's loyalty and courage are commendable, but I hope that Brother Wang can guard my side, what do you think?"

Gao Yanzong's face was embarrassed, scratched his head, and said: "It is a great honor for the minister to obey Your Majesty, but the escort is too boring, and the minister has nothing to do all day long, so it is better to serve the ......field."

The rest of the ministers had thunder rolling in their minds, and they looked at him with unbelievable eyes one by one, thinking that His Majesty wants you to accompany him, and if you don't thank him, you dare to refuse with a disgusted face?

They secretly glanced at the emperor's face, the emperor leaned forward, leaned his right arm straight against the window, knocked his index finger on the edge of the window without a match, and said in a strange tone: "Oh, it turns out that in the eyes of Brother Wang, it is not as interesting to accompany me as on the battlefield......"

Gao Yanzong's expression was stunned, and he was speechless. The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Before the person arrives at the border, his heart has already drifted to the battlefield, and it seems that I can't keep Brother Wang." If you want to go, you can go, but I am also short of soldiers, and I can't give it to you. ”

Gao Yanzong couldn't help but argue: "But if there are no soldiers and horses available, how can you fight?" ”

Gao Wei glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let me finish speaking...... When I came out of Jinyang, I only brought a total of 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Zuo Xiang also needed to mobilize troops, so it is impossible for me to give you a little bit now. But ......"

Gao Wei changed his words and said: "Youzhou's Di Fu Lian...... He still has in his hand the Xianbei Baibao who guarded the palace city in the past, and there are also two thousand, and the rest, you go to Gao Baoning yourself, he can be in charge of the soldiers and horses of Sanzhou, and he will not give you any people. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Gao Yanzong was immediately overjoyed, knowing that the emperor had given him a big cake, although Gao Baoning's side was not the main direction of attack, but the secluded camp boundary was vast, and Gao Baoning would be able to block it, not to mention that he would have to devote his energy to suppress the possible potential rebellion of the Khitan tribes. Gao Yanzong led the emperor to Youzhou, how should the battle be fought, is not Gao Yanzong's final say?

The emperor pulled the curtain down halfway and said, "Gao Baoning asked me to fold the guilt, and Anzhou may not be able to hold it." ”

The ministers were silent, and Gao Wei's dark eyes were as calm as the well water: "Although Anzhou may be like a chicken rib for our dynasty, there is neither a population nor a natural danger to defend, but after all, it is my country, and there are more than 100,000 people, no matter what, I don't want it to be lost." ”

"But for the time being, I can't do anything, gains and losses are a common thing in soldiers......" The emperor paused for a while, "Gao Baoning is responsible for losing land, but I can't hold him accountable, and it's not easy for him, not only to take care of the border defense, but also to mobilize the chieftains of all tribes...... It's really, it's hard for him. ”

Gao Wei thought for a while and said: "Grass edict, I want to crown Gao Baoning as the governor of Pingbei, and the commander-in-chief of the An, Ping, and battalion wars. ”

Once Anzhou falls, the Turkic soldiers and horses can go straight down the Great Wall, straight to the heart of Sanzhou, although Gao Baoning lost his ground, but he is still deeply relied on by Gao Wei, the general who guards the northern Xinjiang, at this time, Gao Wei to concentrate all his forces to ensure that the war situation does not go wrong, at this time to investigate Gao Baoning's responsibility, is a taboo.

"The defeated army in Anzhou, Gao Gong in Pingzhou, the Khitan, Suotouxi, and the Yan Ya departments, listen to Gao Baoning's moderation, and those who disobey the order will be removed from the clan and killed."

Everyone present understood that although the emperor's order had put everyone in contention, it was only the attached ministries that were actually targeted. These Yidi are capricious, they are attached to the Northern Qi today, and when the Turks come to Japan, they will quickly turn back and participate in the ranks of burning, killing and looting, and they really can't keep much hope for them.

Cushman & Wakefield spent a lot of effort and price in order to pry into the corners of the Turks, and now is the time to test the success of the sugar-sprinkling policy he has been promoting. Those who are loyal to the Great Qi will naturally stand under the banner of the Northern Qi Dynasty, cooperate with the troops, and make every effort to expel the Turks, and move south together in the future. As for those who have two hearts, they don't need to be taken care of anymore, and they can be eradicated with all their might!

The southward movement of the Turks gave Cushman an opportunity to annex the various tribes, first of all, to let them let down their guard and move the population south without any scruples. Strangely, the emperor did not mention Youzhou, and then, Gao Wei said:

"Feng Yang Yan is the general of the Protector Army, the governor of Zhenbei, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, the prince of Changping County, holding the Fu Festival, and the commander-in-chief of Dongyan, Beiyan and Youzhou Army! The assassins and military governments in the three states should listen to the dispatch and must not disobey! ”

"—Your Majesty!" The courtiers were shocked, "...... Wouldn't that be too bold? Yang Yan, after all, he is a subordinate! ”

“…… As long as it can be used by me, I can not ask about my background and not correct the past! Gao Wei got out of the car and glanced at the ministers, "I want to let the heroes of the world know, let all the soldiers know, I sincerely seek talents!" As long as I can serve my life, I will never be stingy with rewards! ”

Gao Wei pointed to the sky: "I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are the law!" "Under this order, even if the ministers still have something to say, they have to submit to the king's orders, the emperor has made a decision, and his dignity cannot be provoked!

"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to say." Gao Sihao, the king of Nan'an, came out of the crowd and said: "The king of Lanling and the king of Ande still think of serving the country and the frontier, how can the ministers be willing to be the queen?" The minister is willing to lead the troops to fight and defend Shuozhou for His Majesty and resist the Turks! ”

Gao Wei paused, turned his head to look, and said, "Uncle Wang has a heart." Gao Sihao just had a smile on his face, and then he heard Gao Wei say with a smile: "But there is really no one around me to participate in the planning of me, Brother Ande went to Youzhou, do you want to leave me?" ”

Gao Sihao still smiled humbly, and said: "The minister's talent can't be as good as King Ande, but after all, the minister is also a person who has defended one side, and he has been the assassin of Shuozhou, and he knows the most about the situation in Shuozhou. ”

Gao Sihao's military ability is also good in today's Zongwang team.

"Since Gao Yanzong can parachute in to defend Youzhou, then why can't I go back to Shuozhou to take charge of the army? was sent to Jinyang by Gao Wei's little boy for two years, if you want power or no power, if you want soldiers without soldiers, it is better to Shuozhou, with soldiers and horses in hand, even the emperor can't rub me round and flatten at will! ”

On the side, Gao Xuan looked at him with a vague look, not knowing if it was ridicule or something else.

The emperor smiled and said, "Uncle Wang is really loyal to the country. Gao Sihao hurriedly said, "Where, where?"

In the next moment, the emperor said: "Uncle Wang is so loyal, I am even more reluctant to let Uncle Wang go, Uncle Wang should stay by my side, and I often consult Uncle Wang." ”

Cushman & Wakefield's face was full of sincerity.

"Your Majesty......"

Gao Sihao's face was like eating 10,000 flies.

Gao Wei then controlled the rhythm and said: "Shuozhou military affairs, Uncle Wang don't worry, I have already sent Murong Sanzang to take over a few days ago, and I will transfer troops to the north in a few days." ”

“…… Then why, the minister has never heard of His Majesty's edict and talked about this matter? Gao Si was so shocked that he clung to the last glimmer of hope and was dying.

"Oh, the situation was urgent at that time, and I issued an edict with a pat on the head, and it did not pass through the cabinet, but the privy deputy Tang Yong Tang Shangshu knew about it...... What, didn't he say it? ”

“…… No. Gao Sihao looked dazed.

Cushman & Wakefield didn't take it seriously, "Then he probably forgot to say ......"

“…… Forget...... Forgot? Gao Sihao was dumbfounded, his eyes were black for a while, and he almost fell to the ground.

Gao Wei hurriedly supported him, Gao Wei looked over in surprise, and said with concern: "Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?" …… Quick, quick, Medic! ”

Gao Sihao quietly put aside Gao Xuan's hand, stood reluctantly, and squeezed out a smile, "Thank you Your Majesty for your care, the minister is fine, but I'm probably too tired......"

Gao Wei suddenly realized: "Then in this case, Uncle Wang doesn't have to participate in the discussion of the following matters, go down and rest, come on-"

He swept his eyes towards the attendants, and a few clever people quickly helped Gao Sihao to go back.

Gao Sihao's face was sluggish, as if all the bones in his body had been removed, and he was supported by the inner servant on his stomach, and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he was a few dozen steps away and he had to move for a long time.

Several ministers turned around and looked back, only to feel that the back of King Nan'an's departure was particularly sad......
