Section 75 Hesitation
What is the Son of Heaven?
The one who is tied to the world is the Son of Heaven.
In the Qingliang Palace, the monarch and the minister asked right, and the killing opportunity had appeared.
The Yufu Kingdom across the northern country has finally moved, and this fish father-in-law can be said to have endured his minions for a long time.
The emperor killed Cheng Qili, he led the army to hang alone, and Yufuguo did not move.
The emperor broke the Tibetan and hung Langdarma's head on Gao Street, and Yufuguo did not move.
Even when Tian Hongzheng was about to come to Luoyang, Yu Fuguo was still just one of the many shadows in the Dongshan Society.
If another person evaluates Yufuguo's actions during this time, an evaluation that sits back and waits for death cannot be escaped.
However, now Yu Fuguo's move happened to hit Li Xu's softest throat.
In the Qingliang Palace, there were already chamberlains who moved over the tables and chairs, put all kinds of melons and fruits, and held fragrant tea, Li Xu, Li Deyu, and Han Rui sat down, and the emperor drank the tea one by one, and his fingers kept knocking on the table.
Times have changed.
This time, Li Xu finally understood the power of Yu Fuguo.
When Cheng Qili died, Yu Fuguo was the object of vigilance of all forces in the world.
The unsubordinate feudal towns feared his strength, and the imperial court itself feared his prestige, and even the Uighurs felt that Yufu was a crouching tiger lying on his side.
The current situation is completely different from the situation when Li Xu killed Cheng Qili that day, with the death of Tubo Zan Prang Dama, Tian Hongzheng entered the court. The establishment of the Dongshan Society itself meant that all the forces in the world had regarded the alliance between the Emperor and Yue Guhan as the primary threat.
In essence, the hole cards in Li Xu's hand now are actually weaker than when he killed Cheng Qili, only one more usable Dark Cloud Iron Guard, but one less master like Yue Guhan who can affect the balance.
And Yu Fuguo reached a compromise with all forces, and transferred the identity of the enemy of the world to the imperial court and to Li Xu.
At this time, Yu Fuguo has grasped it skillfully.
Silent, Li Deyu and Han Rui tasted the tea fruit carefully, and did not dare to say much.
The changes and rumors in Beijing, Li Deyu knows everything in his heart.
The best strategy for Yufu to go south is for the emperor to personally lead the troops and go to the river with a thunderous force. Then he ordered a general to draw Shuofang's troops and horses to threaten the east of the river from the western flank.
Although the situation has changed, there has been no essential change in the situation of Yufu Kingdom being surrounded by enemies on all sides, and once the imperial court shows determination and exerts pressure, Yu Gonggong still has to retreat to Hedong.
However, Li Deyu still remembers the worst rumor.
When today's son was a disciple of Shi Sheng, a ghost layman, he fought against the enemy Dao Saint Wuming with Yue Gu Han in the Jianghou Temple, and now he has suffered a heavy blow.
If this is true, then the emperor should never be in the battle array.
The current imperial court also has the image of Zhongxing, because the current emperor's era name is "Qingxing", and some people use "Qingxing Zhongxing" to flatter.
However, this "Zhongxing" is just a "bubble" advocated by the emperor and Yue Guhan by force, once the emperor has something, it will be the final game that will be broken as soon as it is poked.
Li Jifu and Li Deyu's father and son have firmly tied the fate of the family to the emperor, and it is reasonable to be reasonable, if the rumors are true, Li Deyu must not let the emperor get into danger, not to mention that if the emperor has an accident in person, the situation that the court has finally created will only be wiped out overnight.
"Your Majesty, the National Teacher, Li Yuanjun, Bachelor Yuan, and Bachelor Bai have all arrived. ”
Na Luoyan and Li Shen, Yuan Zhen, and Bai Lotian came together, and these four people are now Li Xu's henchmen.
The four of them sat down in a hurry, and they heard Li Deyu explain the specific situation.
So several pairs of eyes went back and forth between the emperor and Han Rui.
Li Congxian has already gone south to Bashu, preparing to take over as the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu, and even the envoy of Jiannan who will lead the entire Sichuan-Shu region in the future.
Even if he didn't go, everyone didn't trust the clan's military ability.
Among the generals available to the imperial court, there are only two people who have achievements worthy of trust, one is Han Rui, who has meritorious service in guarding Fengxiang, and the other is the emperor himself, who has a brilliant record.
Considering Li Xu's past achievements, in fact, everyone thinks that it is safer for the emperor to conquer in person.
Li Shen, Yuan Zhen plus a Bai Letian, they are not fools, since there is still a discussion about what strategy Yufuguo will adopt in the south, there is a premise.
His Majesty was reluctant to make a move.
As for why he is reluctant to make a move, it is not for a courtier to ask.
"The top priority is to stabilize the river first. Yuan Zhen expressed his opinion first.
The landform of the whole Shanxi, although it is said to be mountains and rivers on the surface, is actually a basin connected to a basin inside.
Under the Jinzhong Basin headed by Taiyuan is Linfen County of Jinzhou, and after Jinzhou is another large basin, and it is also the main jurisdiction of the Hezhong Jiedu Envoy.
If you control the river as soon as possible, you can block Yufuguo in Taiyuan and prevent him from going south with the help of the geographical advantage.
No matter how powerful Yu Fuguo is, the impact of his going south alone will not be great.
"The terrain in the river is dangerous, and this place can threaten the imperial capital to the west, and to the south, it can enter the eastern capital and cut off the transportation. Bai Letian looked anxious: "Although there are soldiers and horses placed by the imperial court in the eastern capital now, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with it in a hurry." ”
Li Xu drank tea, and he actually understood the strategy that these ministers said.
To put it bluntly, no matter what, the tiger of Yufuguo must be blocked in the east of the river, so that he will not have the opportunity to eat the entire Shanxi land of the mountains and rivers on the surface.
"Master, if you fight with Yu Fuguo, the victory or defeat will probably be between geometry?" Li Deyu looked at the solemn Na Luo Yan and suddenly asked.
"It's not a secret," Na Luoyan turned his head to look at Li Xu: "On weekdays, when I fight with Yu Fuguo, the poor monk will be defeated in ten battles. ”
If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and you will lose seven or eight out of ten battles, since Luo Yan admits that he can't beat Yu Fuguo, Li Deyu has no choice for a while. The best way he could come up with was to let Han Rui and Na Luoyan join forces and block Yu Fuguo in the river.
"Otherwise, Shaolin and Wudang ......," Li Shen said after a moment's hesitation.
Li Xu shook his head, ask Yue Guhan to make a move today, invite Shaolin Wudang tomorrow, and let bandits like Lianyunzhai help the day after tomorrow.
What's more, the imperial court can go to invite Shaolin Wudang, and Yufuguo can sing with Faxin and Luyinxi.
In the river, Li Xu can't go, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as he goes to the river, he can use his prestige to deter Yu Fuguo and Wang Baochen, and he can also wash away the suspicion of belonging to the "ghost dweller" on his body.
It's really killing two birds with one stone.
However, the reason why Li Xu can't go to Hezhong now is to go to the river to conquer in person.
In addition to the injuries on the body, there is also an important pass.
Once the emperor leaves Bai Yujing and leaves this Huanghuang Palace, how should Yue Guhan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, deal with it?
If something happened to the Chengtian Sword Sect because of this, Li Xu's uneasiness and guilt in his conscience were not to be mentioned, if the Dao Saint broke into the Qingliang Hall next time, who would be able to come to help?
In this scene, Li Xu can't help but think carefully about the pros and cons.
The ministers in the Qingliang Hall discussed, the emperor was indecided, and between the towering Taihang and Hehe Luliang, a group of men and horses were advancing rapidly.
This is a team of cavalry, they are wearing fiery red battle robes, and their crotches are all Daibei war horses of Shenjun, more than 1,500 cavalrymen, each of whom has at least one other horse.
The iron armor on his body was still stained with the chill of Jindi, but the flames in his chest kept burning.
They set out from Taiyuan City in the starry night last night, and the target of the march was Jinju, which was under the jurisdiction of the envoy of the river festival.
These cavalrymen were originally proud sons in the forbidden army, and their ancestors have been following the Li family since Taizu of the Yu Dynasty started the army from Taiyuan, contributing blood and lives to the southern and northern wars of Dayu.
Originally, the fate of them and their family was to serve the Li family for generations in exchange for glory and wealth, until the mansion collapsed, and they would also become the last sacrifice to pay tribute to the once glorious dynasty of Dayu.
The fate that was already predestined came to an abrupt end.
After they followed Yu Gong north to fight the Uighurs, someone stabbed them in the back.
Cheng's father-in-law, who has always loved everyone, died, and although Cheng's father-in-law was ugly, he was always very generous when rewarding his brothers.
Then the officers began to say that the imperial court had accused Yu Gonggong, and everyone was a traitor to the thief.
God, is there any reason for this?
The big guys are all loyal and good people who have followed Dayu for generations, and some brothers can also be said to be full of loyalty.
And the current Son of Heaven, isn't he the right place for Father-in-law Yu to support God with one hand? Didn't Father-in-law Cheng protect him when the traitors of the Wen Party threatened him?
Although the officers have always emphasized that it was some fortunate ministers who deceived the Son of Heaven, so there are these incidents.
However, everyone already knows in their hearts that this Li Xu is a faint king.
At the beginning, everyone was ready to follow Gonggong Yu to the south, so that the emperor could understand the power of the Shence army.
But then something else happened.
The bad news keeps coming.
The faint king first colluded with some indiscriminate Jianghu people to threaten Yu Gonggong, and teamed up with the Uighurs and those thieves in the east to create pressure on everyone.
Then there was the faint king who cleaned the Shence army and the Tianwei army in the capital, and copied everyone's nest, and since then there has been no family letter from the south, and no one knows what happened to the family.
Then the Tubo people took the opportunity to come to the door, and I heard that they were violently beaten by the faint king, and even Zampu was cut off by the faint king.
Those days are bitter in retrospect, and many waste officers and cowards who drank the blood of the soldiers fled south, kneeling at the feet of the faint king and begging for a bite to eat.
And everyone had to guard against threats from all sides, the Uighurs in the north, the town of Shuofang in the west, the rebels in the east, and the villains in the south.
Now the time has finally come, and the unbearable Yu Gonggong has finally made a move, and this time the brothers will be the vanguard of Yu Gonggong to open the way home for the brothers behind.
In front, it is Jinju City.
