Chapter 321: The Prime Minister took the initiative to ask for help
Being able to inherit the throne under the competition with Song Yin, Song Heng is absolutely outstanding in terms of wisdom and means, and with his own wishes in his heart, Song Heng also clearly knows what kind of test he will face after succeeding to the throne.
But even so, Song Heng still did not hesitate, and after succeeding to the throne, he decisively put aside the western region, and no longer sat still for the ambitious Xia Chunqiu in Tanglin (Xia Capital), so the situation among the strong men is a little delicate now.
But this can't all be blamed on Song Heng, it can only be said that Song Heng hastened the emergence of the current situation.
And knowing that he wanted to eliminate dissidents and renovate the system among the strong men, Song Heng worked hard in private, constantly studying among the bachelors, and cultivating himself to make himself a qualified king in all aspects, so now that he heard the prime minister put forward such a suggestion, Song Heng could probably think of the prime minister's intentions.
Whether it is the western region or the summer capital, since Chen Xikang and Xia Chunqiu have rebelled, with the powerful forces in the hands of the two, even if they work hard to defend Yanjing and Jiangnan, it is almost impossible to hold the two places, because the troops in the western region and the summer capital can not be exhausted through the battle between Yanjing and Jiangnan.
It is impossible for him to completely suppress Chen Xikang and Xia Chunqiu overnight, and because both of them have heavy soldiers among their parents, since the two rebelled, they have been destined to fight a protracted war of attrition with the two.
He didn't speak until he saw that the Han Emperor in front of him finally had a helpless look on his face and a relieved expression, and then the prime minister spoke again: "The Han Emperor should also understand that with the strength of the western region and the Xia capital, it is impossible to block Chen Xikang and Xia Chunqiu from Yanjing and Jiangnan, so it is not lost to go with the flow with the two of them, even if the two of them are lost in the end, it doesn't matter." ”
"If Yanjing and Jiangnan are lost, Xia Chunqiu and Chen Xikang will also become the climate, at that time, when Taiwu participates in the war, they will inevitably regard the two as opponents, and I can use the hand of Taiwu to be involved, and I must be more comfortable in the face of the two, is this what the prime minister meant?" Hearing the prime minister's founding of the country, Song Heng also said all the words that the prime minister thought of but did not say in person.
Seeing that Emperor Han understood his intentions, the prime minister just nodded, but did not speak again.
There is no need to be obsessed with decisions like Yanjing and Jiangnan, if the Han Emperor did not have a certain concentration and pride, he would definitely not be able to do it.
After all, no one can say what will happen in the future, after the loss of Yanjing and Jiangnan, it is uncertain whether Xia Chunqiu and Chen Xikang will become stronger and stronger in the future competition.
"Since this is the case, then I will no longer reinforce Yanjing and Jiangnan as the prime minister said, but the loss of the two places will inevitably cause the morale of our army to plummet, how should I deal with it this time?" Although he agreed with the prime minister's suggestion, Song Heng raised another question to the prime minister.
Not long after he succeeded to the throne, he had already had many wars, but in the battles that occurred, the Chang'an side almost never won, if it continued like this, the morale of the army would inevitably plummet, and at that time, the army and the Manchu civil and military would also question themselves.
"Since the start of the war, our army has indeed been defeated one after another, and the morale of the army is inevitably low, and in addition to Xia Chunqiu in Bianjing, there is even Li Mu, the son of Li Jing, Huang Huai and Ran Kai, who played a famous role in the Yin Mountains before, have also reproduced their military talents, and if they do not frustrate their sharpness, it is indeed not good for us. ”
"In my opinion, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty should personally lead his troops to Yanjing for a battle, and the battle will be won! At that time, after the victory of the first battle, after the establishment of power, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can find a reason to leave Yanjing at will, and the gains and losses of Yanjing at that time will not affect people's awe and belief in the Han Emperor. ”
Regarding the question of Emperor Han, the prime minister gave such a decision, but the prime minister only said that Song Heng led the troops to win the battle, and as for how to achieve victory, the prime minister did not say.
The strength of the strong men is absolutely powerful, and there are many brave divisions, if Song Heng is determined to win in a battle, there is a way, but considering that he has to use the victory of the battle to establish his authority, so Song Heng has to win gorgeous, and it is understandable to win, otherwise it will only backfire and counterproductive.
"What the prime minister said, there is indeed nothing wrong, but this morale is greatly boosted, not only a few people in Bianjing, Chen Xikang, who is in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and is eyeing Huaiji, has already fought out of the prestige of Admiral Tiance, if he is left alone, I am afraid that it will be out of control. ”
"Chen Xikang in Jiangnan, I will personally go to see it. Being able to play such a divine power as Admiral Tiance in a few battles, I am also very curious about what this Chen Xikang is relying on. ”
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Song Heng was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the Prime Minister would attach so much importance to Chen Xikang, and he had already reached the point where he wanted to go to the battlefield in person to see it.
When he heard that the prime minister asked him to go to Bianjing to deal with Xia Chunqiu, Song Heng still felt that the prime minister was still thinking about the love of the founding prince and deliberately avoided Chen Xikang, but now after seeing that people like the prime minister couldn't sit still, Song Heng also looked forward to it.
As the hand of the prime minister, the prime minister has always been sitting in the Daming Palace to take precautions, strategize, and defeat the enemy thousands of miles away, and the people who used to let the prime minister appear on the battlefield in person are all people who only appear among tens of millions of people, and now after decades, the prime minister appears on the battlefield again, Song Heng is also very curious about what kind of sparks the prime minister and Chen Xikang will rub!
"Before, I was still worrying, who to send to Jiangnan to ensure that Chen Xikang suffered a defeat, but now if the prime minister takes the initiative to ask Ying, I will have no worries. When does the prime minister plan to depart? If I go on the expedition with the prime minister, public opinion will always be more violent, and the deterrent effect will be doubled. ”
"Xia Chunqiu has just occupied Bianjing, and after the successive wars, he will definitely not be in a hurry to move Yanjing, and after Yanjing becomes the place of the king of Jiang, he also has to think about it, and he will definitely not make another move in a short time, as for Jiangnan, I want to wait until Chen Xikang takes Huaiji and Pingxiang into his pocket, and then lead the troops out. ”
Seeing the prime minister say this, Song Heng did not have the slightest sense of surprise, but just said with a smile on his face: "That's okay, Huaiji has suffered a lot in two consecutive battles, especially in the second battle, even if Mr. Zhuge and the commander are there, it is difficult to hold Huaiji, and Pingxiang after Huaiji is already an empty city, once Huaiji falls, Pingxiang will be gone, if both places are lost, there will only be a decisive battle in Los Angeles." ”
"Letting the army in the west suffer a defeat in a decisive battle has always been a worse blow to morale. ”
With quick thinking, Song Heng immediately guessed the intention behind what the prime minister said, and when what the prime minister said was completely consistent with what he thought, Song Heng also readily agreed to the prime minister's decision.
It was another pleasant conversation, and when the heavy mood became much lighter because of the Prime Minister's suggestion, Song Heng also had a smile on his face, which was much more friendly than the gloom when he came to Xiangguo's Mansion.
In a happy mood, when Song Heng, who left, saw Yiyi playing in the yard, he also teased the cute and lively little girl, and because Song Heng would come to the house every once in a while to discuss the affairs of the court with his father, over time, Yiyi was much more relaxed and easy-going to Song Heng, who was in awe of everyone in the world.
After the family watched Emperor Han leave, the prime minister also led Yiyi into the door.
The child grows up very quickly, and now if Yiyi is held in his arms again, even if he is the prime minister, he is definitely a little heavy, and he is smart and very sensible, and Yiyi doesn't want his father to hug him now.
"Xianggong, do you really want to go to Luocheng in Jiangnan to face the prince of the western region in person? I heard that the recent prince of the western region is particularly popular, and the momentum is compelling, and after entering the south of the Yangtze River, he is like a bamboo, and he has passed all the way, even the previous Xiao Jianyi, who is also ......."
Although she knew that as a woman, she should not ask about her husband's position, let alone talk about the political affairs of the DPRK and China, but thinking of what she had recently heard about the army in the western region, as well as Xiao Jianyi, who had a terrifying cultivation before, but also died in the Jinyang in the south of the Yangtze River, the prime minister's wife was a little worried.
There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only life and death, the prince of the western region wants to make a name for himself and achieve his ambitions, and he will not stop advancing because his opponent is his husband.
However, the reason why Mrs. Xiangguo has such worries is because she is an ordinary person, and she knows nothing about the horror of the prime minister who is so feared by people!
If she knew how terrifying her husband was, Mrs. Xiangguo would not have shown such a worried expression, let alone said such stupid things.
The prime minister does have a terrifying reputation, but Mrs. Xiangguo, who became the prime minister's wife after the founding of the country, has only heard of it, and has not really seen the power of her husband.
For the cute look of the lady next to him who was worried about herself, the prime minister also smiled slightly, smiled gently, and even smiled a little silly.
"Madam, don't worry, there are countless soldiers in Los Angeles, and it's not my turn to fight Chen Xikang, I just want to see what kind of person he is, and there will be no danger." ”
Knowing that even if he explained himself, his wife would not be able to understand, the prime minister only gently opened his mouth to comfort his wife.
To explain what kind of strength he has to a person like his wife who has no clear understanding of martial arts at all, it is also a big problem for the prime minister.
"Okay, then you can pay attention to the husband. But when it comes to speaking, this prince of the western region is really a human being, how can he look at it, his face is like a peach petal, warm as the wind, and under his demeanor, he is all the son of Langyu, but he didn't expect that after the battlefield, he would be such an iron-blooded general, a mighty general. ”
"Admiral Tiance, the war general bestowed the title by God, it is really not prestigious. ”
After feeling incredible about Chen Xikang's transformation at first, and thinking of the rumored name of Chen Xikang's Tiance General, Mrs. Xiangguo also sighed and opened her mouth, unable to think of what kind of brave posture and extraordinary power she had, so that a group of soldiers on the battlefield who were not even afraid of life and death could give birth to such a title for her.
"Hahaha, madam, this Chen Xikang may really deserve the name of this Tiance general, after all, that is Chen Tangshan's son. Seeing the lady's stunned appearance, the prime minister also smiled hard and spoke.
"Shouldn't you say it's a righteous son?"
"Yizi? I say that the righteous son is the righteous son, I remember clearly what Chen Tangshang looked like when he was young, it was Chen Xikang's mother, when Chen Tang got married, I also saw it, that Chen Xikang is simply a combination of the two, and the two are extremely similar, but Chen Wanqing is not like the two at all. ”
Suddenly hearing such words, seeing that her husband still had a determined expression, Mrs. Xiangguo also frowned slightly. "The photographer's words, that ...... at the beginning"
"It doesn't matter what Chen Xikang's identity is, after all, now that he has taken over everything from the founding father, it doesn't matter whether he is a righteous son or his own flesh and blood. ”
"Concealing the world for so many years as a righteous son, the West still can't avoid rebellion in suspicion and rejection, if the founding prince announced that he gave birth to a son in the early years, what would happen to the civil and military palaces in the Daming Palace?"
Seeing that Mrs. still had a thoughtful expression, the prime minister also opened her mouth meaningfully, and after Mrs. Xiangguo understood the deep meaning of the words, Mrs. Xiangguo's warm face was also full of horror.
"Daddy, is Brother Xikang really so terrifying, he made his mother stunned?" After raising his head, when his pointed chin was raised, seeing his mother's shocked expression, Xiao Yiyi also asked with an innocent expression.
Yi Yi has always remembered the two beautiful faces and two particularly gentle people in his impression, so when Chen Xikang and Wu Yemei are mentioned, Yi Yi will be particularly interested.
"Which brother Xikang of yours, now it's amazing, I heard that he has a Shenwu war horse, just standing, he is as tall as his father, and the next time he meets, his father will also let Yi Yi feel it, doesn't Yi Yi want to sit on the back of a horse and go for a ride?"
"Then Daddy remembers to tell Brother Xikang a few more times, Brother Xikang is so busy, if he forgets it then, Yiyi won't be able to ride a big horse. ”
"Hahaha, Daddy must have told him a few more times!" Seeing the little girl next to her who looked like she was suffering from gains and losses, when the founding father showed a loving expression, he also agreed with a determined face.
