Yecheng, Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang Palace. The Chinese martial arts gathered together, and various assassins, clan kings, and capital governors were impressively listed, and even Pi Jinghe, who had not entered Yecheng for a long time, also came here, and at this time, there was a lot of noise in the Zhaoyang Palace. What they are discussing today is not anything else, but an extremely important matter: the war machine of the Northern Qi has begun to accumulate strength, who will they fight next? How to fight?

The Northern Qi Dynasty sharpened its swords and was ready to defeat all enemies in one go, but whether to the south or to the west became a topic of endless contention between them. The first is the Southern Dynasty Chen Ji, there are signs that Chen Ji will make a big move in the near future, or secretly ally with the Zhou State, and will go north to attack Qi.

Chen Ji successively issued edicts to recruit the heads of the army from all walks of life to return to Jiankang, except for Chun Yuliang and Fan Yi, the rest of the military leaders such as Ren Zhong used illness as an excuse to repeatedly prevaricate Jiankang to envoys, refusing to enter Jiankang to meet the emperor, Chen Ji was furious, and ordered Huang Fa to go out of the division to destroy Ren Zhong, although he was stopped by the ministers, but Chen Ji was particularly angry, and specially sent people to see if Ren Zhong was really sick or fake.

On the one hand, Ren Zhong was afraid that Chen Ji would take away his military power, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to rebel, so he had to continue to pretend to be sick and prevaricate...... But Chen Ji is not a fool, he really sent troops to him in anger, intending to confiscate his military power, Ren Zhong was unwilling to sit still, and also sent troops to confront the Jiankang court, and it seemed that the two sides were about to break out......

As soon as they got the news, the Northern Qi government and opposition were ecstatic, and some people thought that taking advantage of the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty, they should quickly send troops to crusade against the Southern Dynasty in the name of betraying the alliance and seize Jiankang in one fell swoop. As for the Zhou State, it is at a time of change and turmoil, the national strength is declining, and it can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, so there is no need to worry! And the ministers headed by Tang Yong and others unanimously agreed that the south should be first followed by the north in order to achieve the goal of pacifying the world!

However, the other large part of the people disagreed, over the years, the imperial court has strengthened the border defense of Hedong, many arrangements, the deployment of soldiers and horses, the training of soldiers, the supply of grain and grass, etc...... Everything is prepared for this, and there should be no hasty change of course. Northern Qi has accumulated so much strength in the west, isn't it waiting for today?

The two factions were arguing, and Hu Luguang raised his hoarse voice and roared loudly: "You scholars, I'm afraid you haven't even pulled a few pairs of bows, what do you know about fighting?!" The Southern Dynasty can fight at any time, but the Zhou State is not like this, they are guarding Guanzhong, and there is Hedong as a cover, it is easy to fight, but it is difficult to fight! Yu Wenyong made people angry and resentful in the country, and if he didn't take this opportunity to destroy the Zhou State quickly, would he have to wait until he really caught his breath? ”

I have to say that Yuwen Yong has not stopped for a day in recent years, first rectifying the military service system, and then carrying out some sinicization reforms, and the effects of these measures are relatively good.

Recently, I heard that Yu Wenyong planned to exterminate the Buddha like Gao Wei and confiscate all the land and property of the Buddha into the state treasury, which caused turmoil within a certain range...... Yu Wenyong knew that he didn't have much time left, so his reform measures were relatively aggressive, and he killed his younger brother Yu Wenzhi, which caused the dissatisfaction of a large number of wealthy families and families.

At first glance, what he did was almost no different from Cushman & Wakefield, but Cushman had the opportunity to carry out radical reforms at home while eliminating external troubles, but Yu Wenyong couldn't, there were very few forces available to him to use, and there were many constraints, and his strength and prestige were difficult to help him do this, so the turmoil in the country naturally began...... Hu Luguang's statement that he took advantage of his illness to kill him was already the result of careful consideration.

Tang Yong said: "Hu Lu Du Du said this is bad, not to mention that the Zhou State is now guarding against my Qi State very strictly, in Yubi, Fengzhou line are all heavy troops, and now it is late autumn, it is the cold season, from Luoyang across the east of the river to Guanzhong, this part of the road is very rugged and long, winter clothes, grain and grass, chariots and horses are difficult to transport, the loss will be great, once the war is stalemate, my soldiers and horses are lost in the east of the river, then it will be difficult to turn back, if the Southern Dynasty takes the opportunity to attack me, what should I do?" Is it possible to support two-front operations at the same time? ”

"In my opinion, Zhou Guo is too busy to take care of himself now, and he can't spare his energy to meddle in things, we have to concentrate our strength and beat up the Southern Dynasty first when Chen Ji is ready to make a move against my dynasty!"

Hu Luguang narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid of wolves in the front, and I'm afraid of tigers in the back...... Why don't you stop this battle, and wait for them to strike at us first? ”

"Everyone, look at it, this Ren Zhong may be available? If we send someone to contact him on the condition of helping him to ascend to the top, will he take refuge in our Daqi? If he agrees to take refuge, then I don't think it's anything to give a county duke, and now it is an obvious fact that Chen Ji wants to weaken the towns in order to increase his strength, and we will help him to seize Jiankang ......."

When Old Murong heard this, he almost laughed angrily, and immediately retorted mercilessly: "Ren Zhong has a treacherous mind, if he doesn't really see the overall situation falling, how can he openly rebel against the Southern Dynasty?" The Southern Chen Imperial Court has heavy troops near him, if he dares to rebel, it will be the truth of Chen Xu's mouth, and the Southern Dynasty will be able to destroy him without any scruples, even if these people are not able to say anything! Chen Ji can't ask for it! ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, how do you know that he wants to rebel? The old man bets that if we rush south at this time, Ren Zhong promises to stand on the side of the Southern Dynasty and jointly meet our army...... This will be a vote for him and the Southern Dynasty to rebuild the old good! Such a decision is not to pick up a bargain at all, but to help others, this kind of stupid idea, I don't know who came up with it? ”

On the other side, his face was flushed with shame, and he was holding his neck to refute. Gao Changgong said: "Relying on the army of Lianghuai, there is more than enough defense, but the enterprising is insufficient, if you want to Pingnan, it is necessary to transfer troops from Yecheng, Yecheng troops are not enough, and you have to transfer troops and grain and grass from Jinzhou."

"We have to make a lot of preparations in the middle, and when our army is fully prepared, I am afraid that the fighters on both sides have already missed. Huang Faqu and Chun Yuliang are all famous generals, even Ren Zhong at both ends of the rat is not a weak hand, it is really a fight, and the outcome is unpredictable.

"Besides, in order to unify the north, our dynasty has been preparing for a long time, and has accumulated grain and grass in all the key passes in Hedong, infiltrated and operated for many years, and knows everything about its garrisons, so it is possible to use this to conquer the west, unify the Central Plains, and remove the great enemy of life and death.

Gao Wei actually had some calculations in his heart, but listening to the dispute between the two factions, it was inevitable that he would have to weigh it again, and when he saw that Dazai Duan Shao didn't say a word for a long time in the standing class, he said, "What does Dazai think about this?" ”

Tuosun Simiao has a good way of conditioning, Duan Shao, who should have passed away a long time ago, has cultivated so far, although his energy is not as good as before, but he still hangs half a life, at least on the outside, Duan Shao is still in good spirits, he walked out of the queue calmly, and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if we attack the Southern Dynasty at this time, it is really speculation, all kinds of preparations are insufficient, the road is long, in this severe cold season, it is difficult to continue the baggage, once our army ventures too deep and is cut off from the back road, the consequences will be terrible! Wu Mingche is quite acceptable, but the minister is only afraid of Huang Fayan, Huang Fayan is steady with troops, he occupies the time, place, and people, and our army is not fully prepared, this battle is too dangerous......"

Duan Shao was scheming, strategic, and prestigious, and when he spoke, he directly stopped a large part of the people. There are still people who want to make a fuss about Ren Zhong, Gao Wei basked slightly, and said with disdain: "How can I be willing to fight with a chaotic minister, thief, fly camp, dog!" He leaned forward slightly from the throne and said in a deep voice: "I mean, take the Zhou State first and unify the Central Plains." Ladies and gentlemen, who can be the commander of the Sixth Army? ”

Just as he was hesitating, Gao Yanzong came out and said: "The minister thinks that this battle is related to the national fortune of our Great Qi, and it needs a person with prestige Delong to command all the armies, so as to ensure the unity of the dispatch of all the armies and prevent chaos." The minister thought that Dazai had been in danger many times, sincere, loyal, and proficient in martial arts. Our army will surely win a big victory! ”

Gao Wei's eyes flickered, and he was silent, as if he was a little moved, but he was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Duan Shao hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege for the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if the minister is the main commander, I don't know if the minister's body can still support it...... It's a shame to say that the minister's age is younger than Zuo Xiang, but his energy is far inferior, and the minister thinks that Zuo Xiang's Murong is enough to take on a big responsibility! ”

Duan Shao said it well, Gao Wei often heard the doctor say that Duan Shao's physical condition is not optimistic, every year in the past few years, Gao Wei thought that he would not be able to hold on, who would have thought that he would live until now. If it is true that Duan Shao can take command of the expedition, then the chance of victory will undoubtedly be a few points more...... But this is a national war, Gao Wei didn't dare to put his hope on Duan Shao, so Lao Murong was indeed the best choice......

The emperor allowed it, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and there were some things that he still needed to think about. Everyone didn't notice the expressions of some of the people below who wanted to speak and stopped, and under the emperor's left hand, there were several letters, the central content of which was:

"Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the country must be established early, if Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition, you must establish the prince, the eldest son of the emperor, Heng, is both a grandson and a long, intelligent and abnormal, can be established as the heir of the prince......"

Gao Wei slowly paced to the harem, and saw that the queen was teaching the little fat man a lesson, and asked while spanking, "Do you dare?" The little fat man stood in place very aggrieved and didn't say a word.

Gao Wei just smiled, and automatically skipped his son's eyes for help, and sat on the side, of course he knew why this kid was beaten. The whole process of the meeting between the old man and the little fat man was on the way here, and Gao Wei had already heard the report. Hu Luguang said to him, "I am your grandfather. The little fat man replied, "Phew, I am your grandfather!" "How can you not be beaten like that?

Children, naughty ones can be tolerated, just a few more beatings...... Gao Wei took a sip of tea comfortably, and saw that his daughter-in-law's anger was almost gone, so he said: "Okay, I can't bear to give up your strength to beat him, leave it to me, I'll find someone to beat him." Wan'er's face turned pale, and she looked at Gao Wei at a loss, Gao Wei sighed, and said slowly: "In a few days, I will have to find a prince for him, find a good day, and move to the East Palace." ”
