Chapter 72: Khitan

Mo Si didn't have Wu Yanxiu's thoughts, although he was only the abandoned son of Emperor Wu Zhou, but the two prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty would think about him, and his value was revealed.

In the middle of the court, Lou Shide could not recruit troops, so he had to ask for reinforcements from Xiazhou, which was currently relatively peaceful, the soldiers were relatively good at fighting, and the army was relatively close to the place of battle.

Xue Huaiyi led the expedition again, and Emperor Wu deliberately selected two quasi-prime ministers to serve as his advisers, and if necessary, he acted cheaply and abolished Xue Huaiyi's position to make his own decisions.

Two days after departure, Luoyang received an expedited 800-mile service. The Turks retreated, and the two states of Pingdi and Qingyi were slaughtered, and the six states were empty of people and money.

Emperor Wu was furious and reprimanded the hundred officials in the court for only knowing intrigue and intriguing, not knowing for the country and the people, so that the Great Zhou was humiliated.

The crowd shuddered.

After retiring from the dynasty, Lou Shide recommended talents to Emperor Wu.

"Although there are also generals in the Great Zhou, the border passes are not very peaceful, and the garrisons in various places cannot be easily mobilized.

Zhang Yang is recommended to the place where the black tooth is common after the minister unloads the armor, this person dares to think and dare to act, take Huo Qubing as an example, train the army and unify the army in its own way, this time to win more with less, kill 40,000 enemies, 5,000 soldiers and horses forced back ten times the Turkic troops, it can be seen that the resourcefulness, or can solve His Majesty's worries. ”

Emperor Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, "If you have talents, why don't you recommend them earlier." ”

Lou Shide shrank and shrank to explain the truth, "The method of publicizing military training is too deviant, and the ministers dare not use it." If it weren't for the fact that Hei Zhi Changzhi let him stay on the Turkic border, the minister would not have known that he had such a great talent. And ,..."

"If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, and if it's inappropriate, you'll be exempted." Emperor Wu gave him confidence domineeringly.

"He was recommended by Princess Taiping to the ministers." After speaking, Lou Shide lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.

Military power has always been the foundation of politics, and if it weren't for the mastery of the forbidden army and military talismans, Pei Yan and Emperor Wu would not have abolished Li Xian overnight. Now that Princess Taiping has recommended talents to the army, Emperor Wu has heard that if he is dissatisfied, I am afraid that he will also make a note of him.

Emperor Wu nodded, "Taiping actually has such an ability to know generals. ”

Lou Shide breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "The princess just ordered her ministers to take care of one or two, and did not interfere in military affairs. Zhang Yang has been able to get to where he is today, all of which are his own skills. ”

Emperor Wu asked again, "Does she recommend anyone else?" ”

Lou Shide hurriedly explained: "Only this person was tested when the minister recommended him, and Hei Yan Changzhi didn't know the relationship between this person and the princess."

Emperor Wu laughed, "Zhang Yang is both a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a courtier of mine, what is the big deal with whether the two of them know each other or not?" ”

Lou Shide was calm, since he was not angry at the most critical moment at the beginning, he naturally didn't care, and he still relaxed and didn't think too much.

Emperor Wu asked again, "You recruit Zhang Yang into Beijing in my name, and I want to see if he can really be a big man." ”

After Lou Shide withdrew, Emperor Wu asked Shen San again, and Emperor Wu did not forget the fact that the two of them chose a marriage for Zhang Yang.

"You're playing a big game."

Shen San asked, confused.

Emperor Wu couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was really as loyal as he appeared, "Chidao and supermarkets can control huge wealth, and even know the flow of wealth in the world." ”

It turned out to be this matter, Shen Sanwen was still at ease in this matter, "It's just that I hope to make Yuanzhou more prosperous, if it weren't for His Majesty's competition, the ministers would only be happy and idle, and they wouldn't have made a lot of moths." ”

Emperor Wu's eyes narrowed, "So you still have a lot of ideas, but you just don't take them out?" ”

Shen Sanwen sincerely pretended to be a big man, "Your Majesty, the minister only has many ideas, and he has to rely on people to implement them, and he comes and goes, which is time-consuming and laborious, and it may not be effective, but it is the sins of the minister." ”

Emperor Wu snorted coldly, "Everyone in the world is like you, do you have to do everything yourself?" Now that you are a colt and half of my son, you should do your part in Turkic affairs. ”

"Don't, Your Majesty," Shen San asked that he must not have looked at the yellow calendar when he went out today, "The minister will not fight." ”

Emperor Wu: "You don't necessarily have to go to war in person, how can you solve the Turkic disaster?"

Shen Sanwen reviewed the history, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it seems that the Central Plains was solved by the Yi people, and it was ruled for hundreds of years, but the west and the south were solved by using the assimilation policy.

"No?"

Shen Sanwen hurriedly denied it, "There are still solutions, but there are some troubles, and they can't work in a short time." ”

"Then you don't have to say it quickly." Emperor Wu looked at him calmly and calmly, and his heart was furious, and he was hesitant, let you say a plan and play a big name?

Shen San asked: "If it is to be completely solved, it can only be assimilated, let them learn the script of the Great Zhou, change the surname of the Great Zhou, and intermarry with the Great Zhou people."

Emperor Wu frowned and pondered, the Turkic Khan was not a fool, the Great Zhou only had the name of a kingdom, and in essence it was still two countries, and did not interfere in its internal affairs. If the Turks want to do this, they can only be completely subdued.

Shen Sanwen continued: "It must be suppressed by the army in order to implement these policies. The Turks could rebel at any time, and this time the Hui army should be dependent on many small countries. Once a war starts, it is a battle that lasts for years. Military spending will increase the economic burden on the country and even make people's livelihoods miserable.

There are also temporary ways to provoke the Turks to start a war with the surrounding peoples, and there are many supporters in the country, and it is difficult to shake it internally. The emerging Khitan on the Turkic border has good potential and is expected to replace the Turks in the future and become a new major problem. ”

Emperor Wu took out the information of the Khitan, the Khitan people lived in the western Turkic region, the local climate was cold, the Khitan people were lean and powerful, hunting for a living, living in hardship, and being extremely vigilant. Adult men can fight against the Turks, who are also hunters, and can do it with one enemy and four enemies.

It's just that the population is small nowadays.

It is indeed a potential stock.

If this young wolf is to reach the point of confrontation with the Turks, it will need to be fed a lot of bones.

In the end, he will be a new big problem.

Emperor Wu stroked his forehead, his head ached. "You're not going to say something nice?"

Shen San asked, "... Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and all are united, and the Turks are not enough to suffer. ”

Emperor Wu muttered twice, "Khitan, Khitan."

Shen Sanwen was also thinking about it seriously, by the way, he forgot about gunpowder, "Your Majesty, Sun Simiao has a booklet for alchemy, and one of them is refining gunpowder. The danger of gunpowder is huge, and if there is enough of it, it is not a problem to blow up the city walls. If the gunpowder can be refined and the recipe is not leaked, then it is no problem to defeat the Turkic Khitan. ”

The Martial Emperor was shocked when he heard this, "Can you demonstrate?" ”

Shen San asked, "... Still in the process of configuration. After thinking about it, he hid the things that he had started configuring many years ago.

Emperor Wu nodded, "If it can be done, I will give you a great credit." ”

Shen Sanwen didn't forget to recommend his brother before leaving, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yang in this battle against the Turks is a general, and he also has righteousness. ”

Emperor Wu came to be interested, "Oh? Do you know him? ”

Shen San asked: "This person has known me for a long time, is obsessed with military affairs, and is determined to join the army and serve the country."

There is loyalty, there is no anti-heart, and the relationship is also clear, it depends on whether you use it or not.
