Changan

As soon as Prince Gong returned to Chang'an, he went to report the situation of the trip to the emperor.

When Zuo Anmin heard Prince Gong's report, his first thought was to beat the dog with meat buns.

"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate, very inappropriate. The courtiers should be worried about the king, how can Lord Lu ask the king for a reward? ”

Before Prince Gong could speak, Zhang Xian took the lead, "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo's words are bad, courtiers should be rewarded for doing well, and they should be punished for not doing well." With such clear rewards and punishments, there is order to follow, and the ministers can better share the emperor's worries. ”

was maintained by Zhang Xian, and Prince Gong was flattered.

Before Prince Gong could say anything, Zuo Anmin said again, "Zhang Xian, Lu Desheng is an invitation." It has nothing to do with the emperor's rewards and punishments. ”

"Zuo Anmin, what do you mean, question me?" Prince Gong also came back to his senses at this time, and he was not happy, he was a good man, but he thought that he had done his best in this matter, and he was meritorious.

Zuo Anmin denied his efforts in one sentence, how can this be?

How did Prince Gong know that Zuo Anmin was in a hurry, he was the core of the Xie Group, and he knew that their old opponent had the intention of rebellion, and if he gave them iron ore, wouldn't it give them wings?

Zhang Xian snickered, shouting in his heart, Zuo Anmin said two more words, and offended Prince Gong to death.

If Zhang Xian goes to the afterlife, he will know one word, Zuo Anmin's behavior is a classic match.

Sure enough, what he wanted was done, and he heard Zuo Anmin speak, "First cut and then play, Prince Gong is not appropriate to do things like this, right?" ”

Prince Gong is going to breathe fire, what does Zuo Anmin mean? Do you want him to become a man of his word? If he can't persuade the emperor to transfer the iron ore to Youzhou, what face will he have?

"That's because you haven't seen how good the harvest is in Pingzhou, if it affects the harvest because of the lack of farm tools, can you afford it?"

"Furthermore, sharpening the knife does not mistake the work of chopping firewood, and this farm tool cannot be used unless it is used once. With these farm tools, I believe that the harvest in Pingzhou will be better and better in the future. In this way, you can pay more taxes, which is beneficial to the country and the people. I think it's worth it. ”

This time, Lu Desheng agreed to pay more taxes, and Prince Gong felt that there were two if there was one, and he thought very beautifully.

After spraying Zuo Anmin, Prince Gong shouted at Song Mo again, "Your Majesty, Weichen is dedicated to the public and has no selfish heart!" ”

Zhang Xian acquiesced, "Yes, Your Majesty, even if Prince Gong has some inappropriateness in this matter, it is also an errand that he wants to complete the emperor's explanation." ”

Prince Gong couldn't stop nodding in his heart, and Zhang Xian knew him.

Zuo Anmin was so blocked that he didn't want to speak, he really wanted to ask Prince Gong, are you a fool? You will believe what Lu Desheng says.

"This is the only time, not the next one." Song Mo said lightly, Prince Gong has no merit and hard work on this trip. He knew that Lu Desheng was difficult, and Prince Gong probably made his own claim in order to let Lu Desheng agree to the conditions he proposed.

Zuo Anmin also knew that the matter had come to this point, and the iron ore had reached the hands of Lu Desheng, and it was meaningless for him to stop the imperial court from allocating the iron ore to Youzhou. If he really stirred up this matter, it would make Youzhou Assassin Shi hate him.

Zuo Anmin gritted his teeth and proposed, "Your Majesty, this Lu Desheng can't be trusted." Although he agreed to pay more grain taxes, Weichen thought that you should send someone to Pingzhou to supervise the matter. ”

"You can toss it!" Prince Gong felt that Lu Desheng would not lie to him.

Song Mo couldn't trust Lu Desheng, and finally agreed to Zuo Anmin's request and arranged for Qin to go to Pingzhou.

Xie Zhan didn't tell Zuo Anmin about transporting a million taels of silver before and intentionally fishing. First, things are done in secret, words are defeated, and the more people who know, the worse it is. Second, if the plan is successful, Zuo Anmin will naturally know what to do.

Later, the plan did not work, so Xie Zhan did not mention it to him.

Zuo Anmin didn't know the plan on the Pingzhou side, but he subconsciously took this step, if it wasn't for the wrong situation, he really guarded against it.

The emperor wanted to rest, so he waved the three away.

As soon as the three of them left, they saw Taiwei Xiao Qun hurriedly go to face the saint.

was disturbed after a break, Song Mo was in a bad mood, "Lord Xiao, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, I received a secret report from the border city, and there are changes in the Xianbei Wuhuan in the north and the barbarians in the south."

"What? Can the news be true? ”

"To be verified."

"Then go check!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we should strengthen the precautions at all border checkpoints."

Xianbei Royal Court

Tuoba Lian, who has always had poor patience, couldn't help but speak, "Father Khan, it's been four or five days since the end of the autumn harvest in Pingzhou, shouldn't our Xianbei army act?" "The grain that has been dried for three or four or five days, even if it is not dry, will not be moldy, and it can be snatched back. It's a big deal to grab it back and dry it again.

"What's the hurry? When Pingzhou starts to send tax grain to Chang'an, we will take action. ”

As soon as Tuoba Khan's words fell, the Xianbei generals present all laughed.

They have heard the news of the harvest in Pingzhou, and they have also heard that the emperor of Dali asked Pingzhou to pay more grain taxes, which shows that Pingzhou should be a rare bumper harvest. Isn't this cheap for them?

Although they Xianbei people are constantly migrating all year round, they have also heard the news of Pingzhou's conscription and training in the past two years.

After careful consideration, Tuoba Khan decided to rob this batch of tax grain first. If Pingzhou's army is really trained, then the war between the two sides may turn into a protracted war, and the food can be robbed first to feed the war.

If the troops in Pingzhou are still the same as before, they will rob the tax grain.

"Father Khan, I have asked ...... before"

"That's right."

Tuoba Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, he was captured in Liaodong County last year, and this time he actively fought for it, wanting to lead the army to attack Pingzhou, and he was ashamed!

But his father Khan had ignored his request to fight, and now his father Khan had finally relented.

Tuoba Lian swore that he would lead the cavalry to Pingzhou!

Tuoba Khan: "Generals obey orders!" ”

"Khan, please order!"

"Tuoba Patrol and Helan Yan listened to the order, and led a large army to attack Houcheng, Liaodong County, Pingzhou."

"Erchen|The last general is ordered!"

"Wei Chirui, Tuoba Company, you lead the Second Route Army to attack Longcheng, Liaoxi County, Pingzhou, and you are bound to take Longcheng!"

"The last general|Erchen takes the order!"

Tuoba Company was not very happy, this order made it clear that Wei Chirui was the main general, and he was the deputy general. Why can Big Brother Tuoba Patrol become the main commander of the army?

Tuoba Khan didn't care if he was happy or not, and continued to point the generals, "Tuoba Jin and Su Ximing, led the three-way army to attack Youzhou Youbeiping County. Be sure to penetrate the right Beiping County and intercept the grain transport team from Pingzhou to Chang'an. ”

"Erchen|The last general is ordered!"

"Dugu Zhong and Tuoba Yu led the Fourth Route Army to march into Yanmen!"

"Humble duty|Sons and daughters receive orders."

"The four-way army has all entered a state of readiness and is ready to attack at any time!"

"Yes!"
