Chapter 258: Go to Beiliang
After Xiao Yuming received the holy decree of recruitment, he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and planned to discuss this matter carefully with Zhuge Liang.
This recruitment, after all, is not something that can be recruited casually, there are really too many things that need to be paid attention to, and it also needs to cooperate with the country's financial output.
Of course, now that the Wei state has a great cause, even if several major battles break out, it can still be carried out, but the sudden recruitment of troops will still have an impact on the current construction of the canal.
The main thing is that I am afraid of affecting the mood of the people, after all, there have been too many things recently, which will definitely affect the lives of ordinary people.
Zhuge Liang knew the stakes well, but this time, he did not oppose the emperor's opinion, and said: "Your Majesty is eager to expand externally, declare war with the Jin State, and also recruit troops, if nothing else, it is to quickly annex the Jin State after the Three Emperors Alliance."
At present, everything is going well, although there are many places where the state spends money now, but this year, because of the horses, the Wei country has enough foundation to squander, so I am not worried about the impact of conscription on the country.
I'm only afraid now that after the Three Emperors Alliance, the Northern Liang forces of the Jin Kingdom will influence the development of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Xiao Yuming frowned, and asked puzzledly: "This Beiliang, I have heard a little. This generation of Beiliang King is Xu Cripple, it is he who single-handedly created the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, which is known as winning every battle and invincible in the world, I don't know, who will win and who will lose after encountering the heavy armor Iron Cavalry created by His Majesty himself. ”
Zhuge Liang said worriedly: "There is no way to know this, but it can be expected that there will be a battle between us and the Beiliang Iron Cavalry in the future, fortunately, this Beiliang King Xu Cripple is against the Yang of the Jin Dynasty, otherwise, in a battle with Jin, with the blessing of the Beiliang forces of the Jin Kingdom, we will not be able to win." ”
Xiao Yuming suddenly realized something, and instantly felt a little sad, he said worriedly: "We don't know much about the news of this Beiliang force, if we fight with them, if we don't know ourselves and the enemy, I'm afraid it will be easy to suffer a dark loss!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, and said: "That's right, I will enter the palace to face the saint later, since we want to lay out the Jin Kingdom, then all the forces in the Jin Kingdom, we must know everything, I want to ask Your Majesty, let the Jinyi Guard, penetrate Lingzhou City with all his might, and find out all the forces under the command of the King of Beiliang." ”
Xiao Yuming solemnly hugged his fists when he heard this: "In this way, there will be Prime Minister Lao." ”
Half an hour later, Xiao Yuming left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the military department.
I was going to discuss with the officials of the Ministry of War about how to recruit troops.
And Zhuge Liang went out of the door after packing up his clothes and went directly to the palace.
He entered through the Xuanwu Gate, and as the prime minister of a country, he could ride into the palace on horseback.
After coming to the Xuanzheng Palace, I saw the emperor holding a pair of scissors and carefully repairing some flowers and plants from outside the hall.
After being reported by the eunuch, he learned that Zhuge Liang was waiting outside the hall, and he let Zhuge Liang into the palace while trimming the flowers and plants.
Zhao Changqing knew very well in his heart that once Zhuge Liang came to see him, then there must be something big, so he asked: "The prime minister is not at home to ponder the battle situation at Bianguan, what is the matter when he comes here?"
Zhuge Liang Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, Weichen does have something. ”
Zhao Changqing said softly, and then said: "Long story short, I don't want to be disturbed by others in this leisurely afternoon, I hope your affairs are enough for me to pay attention to." ”
After speaking, he was still wondering in his heart, did Zhuge Liang want to persuade himself not to recruit soldiers at present?
Just now, Jin Yiwei reported Xiao Yuming's whereabouts to himself.
He went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe to discuss this conscription with Zhuge Liang.
I'm afraid that I didn't use some kind of labor and money as an excuse to persuade me to save my life, right?
Then, Zhuge Liang didn't come for this matter, he only heard him say: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have heard of the King of Beiliang of the Jin Kingdom?"
Zhao Changqing frowned after hearing the words 'King of Beiliang', as if he was thinking about the name, but after rummaging through his entire brain, he only found some words, and in thinking, he unconsciously put down the scissors in his hand, and after a while, he shook his head and said:
"I've heard a little, all I know is that he's a cripple, what's the problem?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, this King of Beiliang should not be underestimated, according to Weichen's knowledge, this person is very good at marching and fighting, and he has the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, which is known as the first male soldier of the Jin Kingdom, and the world says that the Beiliang Iron Cavalry is the world!"
The minister is afraid that this king of Beiliang will affect His Majesty's plan to annex the Jin Kingdom. Once Emperor Jin is sick, I am afraid that Beiliang will jump in without hesitation, which will inevitably interfere with our inherent plan for the Jin Kingdom. ”
This matter is very important to Zhao Changqing.
If you want to dominate the world in the shortest possible time, then, you must first solve the Jin Kingdom, if according to what Zhuge Liang said, then this Bei Liang will be a hidden bomb, which will explode at any time, and even if you are not careful, you will blow yourself to pieces, and you have to guard against it.
He asked Zhuge Liang, "What do you mean?"
He knows Zhuge Liang's character very well, and since she has said this problem, there must be some solution.
As expected, Zhuge Liang said: "Let Jinyiwei infiltrate the Beiliang forces with all his might, and find out the current situation in Beiliang, only by mastering their current true situation, can we prescribe the right medicine, know ourselves and know the enemy, and win all battles." ”
Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Who do you think is appropriate?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Weichen doesn't know the Jinyi Guard, so he can't make a conclusion, but when he goes to Beiliang of the Jin Kingdom, he must choose someone that His Majesty trusts 100%. ”
Zhao Changqing thought about it carefully, and instantly had a suitable candidate.
Wei Zhongxian and Lu Bing.
The former is decisive in killing, and the latter has his own experience in gathering intelligence.
The two of them working together can also temporarily alleviate the contradiction between Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Yes!
Zhao Changqing summoned the two of them and said to them: "Earlier, Cheng said to me that the Northern Liang forces of the Jin Kingdom have the potential to threaten the Great Wei, so I have to guard against it, and today I will send you two to the area to explore the forces of Beiliang, and I want to know exactly how many troops Beiliang currently has, how many troops are needed, what is the combat style, what are the most refined troops, and how many generals there are." Do you two understand?"
The two didn't dare to refuse, and they clasped their fists together and said: "Weichen (slave) obeys the order!"
After that, the two went back to prepare for the Jin Kingdom.
At present, the two countries are at war, and the national border has long been closed, so if you want to infiltrate the Jin Kingdom, you must make adequate arrangements.
However, this is also difficult for the two major intelligence organizations, Jinyiwei and Factory Guard.
After the two went back, they were warned by Zhao Gao and Jia Xu.
Zhao Gao said to Wei Zhongxian: "We are Your Majesty's slaves, we are a dog raised by Your Majesty, what Your Majesty asks us to do, we have to do, our family hopes that at this time, the big guys can stop a little, don't rush to fight with Jinyi Wei Ming." Your Majesty told us to bite there, and we had to bite there, and we had to bite it. ”
Wei Zhongxian lowered his head very low and said to Zhao Gaozuo: "The subordinates understand, although the overseer can rest assured, this time, the subordinates will definitely cooperate with Jinyiwei and report all kinds of detailed information about Beiliang to Your Majesty." ”
In this way, Zhao Gaocai nodded with satisfaction.
What Jia Xu said to Lu Bing was also aimed at the current contradiction between the two Davids, and said: "Your Majesty asked you to go with you, just to see with your own eyes, in the moment of national crisis, whether you will still fight openly and secretly, so, this time, we Jinyiwei must be low-key, no matter what we do, say hello to the factory guard first."
In any case, during this period of time, no one can go to the trouble of the factory guard, otherwise once His Majesty finds out, we will not be able to eat and walk around. Again, without offending anyone, do things well for Your Majesty. ”
Lu Bing knew the stakes well, and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates understand!"
At the same time, he also had a sense of awe and trepidation in his heart for His Majesty the Emperor.
I didn't expect that what I thought was an ordinary appointment included the art of balancing power and the emperor's mind, which was really unusual.
If it weren't for the commander's reminder, I am afraid that if I go, it will inevitably disgust Your Majesty, and when the time comes, I may even implicate the entire guard
It's horrible.
