Crown Tang emperor

Except for a small number of old people who have been around for a long time, most of them have been added after the revolution. They have little relationship with the master and servant of King Luling's family, and there is no need to cover up anything in the report.Including just now, the king of Luling punished the eldest son in anger.

Pei Ni was born before his age, but his external appearance is more vicissitudes than his real age, his hair and beard are slightly mixed with gray and white, he looks mature and stable, and he does not have the vigorous and impetuous attitude of ordinary children of the aristocratic family at this age.

This is also very normal. Although Pei Nixian was born in a famous family in Hedong, as Pei Yan's son, he is also entangled in blessings and misfortunes.When he was young and strong, his family was flourishing, his uncle Pei Yan was in power, and because of the favor of his family, Pei Nixian also became an official, and Xie Brown was awarded the sixth-rank Taifu Chancellor. It can be said that he surpassed most of the backward people in the world at the beginning.

If this trend continues, today's Pei Yi should have already been recorded as a concubine, or the governor of a foreign state, or the official of the southern province.However, the good times didn't last long, and a catastrophe in Guangzhai completely changed the trajectory of his life.Uncle Pei Yan was punished by his family for the crime of treason. Pei Ni was first implicated by this but was unwilling to give in. He wrote a letter to sue the empress dowager and went far away to the hometown of Annan Liao.

Fortunately, he survived the catastrophe but fell in love with the prosperity of the two capitals. After all, Pei Yuxian couldn't bear the misery of the other side and chose to flee privately and return home.However, he was reported shortly after returning home, and after being tortured, he was sent to Tingzhou, northern Xinjiang.

When he was in Tingzhou, Pei Ni first started farming as a business, and gradually accumulated assets, and was favored by the Western Turkic chiefs, and he became a wealthy man in just a few years as a daughter-in-law.But he is still restless, and has been inquiring about changes in the situation in the court.

Finally, the emperor paid off. Knowing that there was a coup d'etat in Shendu, Pei Ni first actively recruited and organized a group of Western Turkic Hu chiefs to go to Shendu to offer gifts. After that, he was finally able to return to Luoyang, Shendu, until the emperor granted Junzhou to join the army In one post, he traveled as an official in Shannan.

Therefore, although Pei Nixian is not very old, his life experience can be described as rich.The sufferings he suffered have worn away his impetuosity, but his will has not been broken because of it. He was able to go against the trend and create a scene of his own.

The Luling Royal City is isolated from the outside world, and it is a world of its own, so there is nothing new about it.Therefore, when the officials and assistants reported, Pei Yuxian just listened to it as a matter of routine. It was only when he heard that the king of Luling severely punished his eldest son that his eyes turned a little bit brighter, but he didn't express himself because of it. the opinion of.

Not long after, a waiter from the inner city entered the hall and told the King of Luling that he had been waiting in the inner hall for a long time.After Pei Ni heard the words first, he didn't delay any longer, and followed the waiter to the inner hall, followed by several Lingshi.

"Mr. Pei Ni, who joined the army in Junzhou, pays homage to the king!"

Although the real identity of each other is a prisoner and the other is a prison guard, Pei Yuxian did not dare to be disrespectful because of this, and worshiped after entering the hall.

Li Xian in the hall seemed a little nervous. He glanced at the concubine Wei Shi who was sitting with him in the hall, and then he raised his hand calmly and said: "Pei joins the army, please excuse me. I don't know if I'm here today. What can I tell you?"

Pei Ni first thanked you for entering the table, and then said: "When I enter the city today, I will ask you about daily life as usual. The mission of the humble post is that the materials used in Wangcheng are in short supply. The king needs to teach me, and the humble post will be entrusted to Zhou Quan."

Hearing what Pei Ni said first, the corners of King Luling's mouth trembled subconsciously, and he deliberately asked this seemingly obedient, but extremely negligent guy in front of him, how could he still have the face to say that he would give it to Zhou Quan after all the materials used in the king's city were cut down again and again?

However, all kinds of angry words poured into his mouth, but they turned into a few peaceful words of keeping his duty: "The sinful minister is blessed by the emperor's order, and he will not be disgraced by his old deeds, and he can still be honored in the mansion in the south of the mountain. I only cherish blessings and be frugal, and I really dare not think about it again."

When Pei Ni first heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he said with a smile: "However, the deeds of the king's city that I heard in my humble position seem to be quite different from what the king said. In the past, all the feelings are silent, but today alone, the county lord is crying in the hall, begging Eat preserved soup, the lord was not allowed to beg for charcoal, and was beaten instead. The rest are all kinds of things, which are not detailed, but the materials used in the king's city are extremely scarce, and two or three deeds have been fully exposed here."

Hearing the unscrupulous talk about the furniture in the hall by Pei Yixian, the King of Luling's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he raised his hand and pointed at Pei Yixian, but his opened mouth only made a muffled sound, and there was no rebuke. out.

The King of Luling was anxious and timid, and lost his voice for a while, but the princess had no scruples. Hearing Pei Nixian's half-sarcasm, she couldn't help but shoot the case, pointing at Pei Nixian and angrily said: "The thief slave, since you know The king's city is extremely poor, why come here to ask and humiliate me again! The humerus of the king's family, the sage's close relatives, the only crime is that he lost his way in the world! Whether it is life or death, although it is not due to oneself, but honor is humiliation, how can a despicable pawn be able to laugh at it? Give!"

Pei Ni first heard this rebuke, and the slightly frivolous smile on his face retracted, and he stood up from the table, drew out the saber at his waist, and slowly walked up the hall holding it upside down.

"You, Pei Canjun... What are you going to do? The princess, the princess is just..."

The King of Luling was also shocked when he saw this, he got up and walked away, and then grabbed the princess and hugged her with open arms.When the princess saw that Pei Ni had really drawn out the sharp blade, she was terrified for a while, and she curled up in the arms of King Luling, crying loudly.

However, Pei Ni just put the saber on the case first, then stepped back slowly, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed frequently, and said with deep pain: "The king's city is disturbed by this trouble, the king's daily life is uneasy, and the crime of humble duty is dereliction of duty. Don't dare to shirk and avoid punishment. Only enshrine the sharp blade on the venerable, whether it is killing or cutting, and it will be recited by the king!"

"Here, Pei Canjun, you are..."

Seeing Pei Ni make this gesture first, the Luling king and his wife were both shocked, but after a moment of astonishment, the Luling king's eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Could it be, could it be that there has been a big change in the country? Today's saints, saints he……"

"The sage has a strong physique, his court affairs are in order, he does not lose control inside and outside, and he lives up to his principles!"

Mr. Pei Ni paid homage to the ground, and continued: "I have a sense of humble position. Since I have been working in Shannan, I have been obsessed with falsehood and failed to give it to me. I have done various things before, and I have been stuck in the old things. I have not been able to stand upright and use clear plans. Your Majesty has lost his leisurely support, he is guilty of a lowly position, and he has come to realize his mistakes..."

"The thief still wants to hide it from me? God must have something to do!"

Seeing Pei Nixian like this, the King of Luling became more and more sure of his guess, ecstasy in his heart and he did not dare, but panic did not. He picked up the saber that Pei Nixian put on the table, held the sword forward, pointed at Pei Nixian and continued to say angrily : "What happened to Shanbei?"

Seeing the King of Luling's stern questioning, Pei Ni let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Your Majesty's former residence, the King of Ying, has no chance to see you in a brave and humble position. But today I entered the city to give a short answer, and I know that the old reputation is not in vain!"

Hearing what Pei Ni said first, the muscles on Li Xian's slender cheeks couldn't help but twitched faintly, but he gritted his teeth tightly to suppress his excitement.As for Princess Webster, she couldn't help shouting loudly: "Pei was involved in the matter a few days ago, and he has already been neglected. Now God has changed, if you continue to conceal the matter, you will be punished for multiple crimes, and you will have your life!"

"I don't dare to lie to the king and concubine. There is no change in the situation in the capital of God. The only thing is that this winter, Turkic is silently attracting new invaders..."

"Isn't the Turkic thieves chiefs Gu Dulu? What kind of material is Mochuu? Turkic stars and thieves have nothing to do with China's general situation?"

After all, the King of Luling had been under confinement for a long time. Even if he had been taken care of in his daily life in the past few years, no one deliberately told him about the changes in the world in detail. people.

Pei Ni first heard this question, so he also explained the development of Turkic forces, and then said: "Turkish forces have subjugated and rebelled, and their power has risen and fallen due to the unrest in China. Great troubles. But now the country is not without difficulties. The east and west are walled up, the king of Yong is stronger than Shaanxi, and the armored horses are well-raised. Once the disaster of the army breaks out, it may be worse than the disturbance of the four directions..."

"King Yong, King Yong? This boy from the clan is now so powerful that it is difficult for the court to control him?"

The king of Luling was also surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sighed: "This evil family, fortunately, can live in the world because of the protection of the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Shendu knew that this son was passed down to the bone. Such a monster, even if he pityed him but did not kill him, he should be imprisoned and detained. The saint let him go to the ancestral court in Kansai, and let him grow without restraint. Illness but conniving at Cheng's family and country's heartache, it's too late to regret!"

"What the king sees is true knowledge. In fact, there are no wise men who are full of crowns and belts in the dynasty, but today's sages are dictatorial and do not allow dissent! King Yong grew up in the palace, messed up in the palace, and had no thought of raising him. His kindness. And when he went to the west, he took the meritorious service from Juxun’s family by abusing Yuan. Knowing the teachings of the king but not the orders of the emperor, once disaster strikes, the loss of life and the degeneration of the family will be instant!"

Pei Ni first talked here, kowtowed again and sighed: "Shaanxi is suffering from serious diseases, and today's saints have lost control of the way. This situation flows from time to time. Anyone with knowledge can see it. It is no longer a one-man plan. The old year The sage lives in the palace, and because he is the inheritance of the Tang family, he has the fragrance of orchids, but after he entered the world, the things he experienced have the stench of obscenity. His miscalculations are not limited to King Yong!"

Pei Ni first took off his crown and fell to the ground, then looked up at the King of Luling who was standing with a sword, and said sincerely: "What is the story of the humble family, the king knows it by himself. Reading this story, even though there are many people who are related to misfortune and fortune, it is difficult to explain it in one word. After being killed, Chang Ding is gone, only the humble job and clumps survive in the world.

The sage stretches his will to show that our family is vain in the world, but apart from this vanity, the rewards are practical.It is praised for the merits of the creation of the policy, but it is not used for the loyal talents.To surrender to Shannan is to entangle old grievances, and to make the king dangerous in the lonely city because of the minister's clumsy plan. Is this what a sage should do? "

Although the king of Luling longed for the transformation of the world so that he could escape the barriers, he did not dare to believe what Pei Ni said first.After all, this son is the heir of Pei Yan, a rebellious person, and since he entered the state, the treatment in Wangcheng has changed drastically, which shows that his heart is sinister.

But when he heard that Pei Nixian came here from Chen Chen, King Luling's eyebrows trembled abruptly, and he began to face up to Pei Nixian's analysis of his heart.

From a humble background to this day, Li Xian doesn't believe in any empty words of benevolence and righteousness.The most emotional person in the world is only related to one's own interests.Since the revolution in Shendu, there have been a lot of people and affairs. Although he doesn't know everything about it, he still has heard about various things related to Pei Yan.

If you think more sinisterly, the reason why these new waiters in Wangcheng revealed this kind of information to him is to make him give up through the court's posthumous award for Pei Yan, and let him be in a state of panic for a long time. , Can not live long.

The fact is indeed the case, if he had hoped that today's sage or benevolence would show up and recall his three brothers back to God's capital to be raised, but after learning about Pei Yan's deeds, he completely gave up on it.Perhaps it will be difficult for him to return to the two capitals for the rest of his life, and until he has survived himself, the current saint may be lenient and call his children back to Beijing for resettlement.

But Li Xian is not the only one who is frustrated, and Pei Yuxian in front of him also belongs to this list.Although Pei Yan was extremely prosperous, he had no descendant to pass on. According to the general rituals and old rules, Pei Yan's honor should be handed down to Pei Yixian, a close relative, to pass on the inheritance.

But the imperial court didn't take any relevant measures at all, and Pei Yixian was only a lowly post in the army in Xiazhou in the south of Shannan, so can he have no resentment in his heart?What's more, once the King of Luling dies suddenly, Pei Yuxian will inevitably be suspicious.It's hard to be vain in the family, but you have to bear the danger of ruining your reputation. Any normal person will inevitably have a lot of miscellaneous things.

Thinking of this, Li Xianwang's eyes on Pei Yixian changed from cold and stern to gentle. He threw the sword he was holding on the ground, bent down to help Pei Yixian and sighed: "I have committed previous crimes, so I was abandoned by my family and the country, and I was troubled by it." I deserve all my sins. I am sincerely grateful to the saint for allowing me to live in the world, and I will not secretly resent that Pei Lang entered the state because he was entangled in the past and persecuted. Pei Lang used this to plan and commit suicide, which is also underestimated. The greatness of the emperor's grace!"

"Your Majesty's plan is tolerant, but the humble official knows that his plan is shallow and clumsy. To tell the truth, the reason why Wang Cheng was so mean in the past was that the humble official did not want to instigate him. He treated the King harshly and thought it was his own plan. Even if the King is magnanimous and does not punish him, It is really hard to forgive yourself for being humble, and today you present your sword in the court, and you expose yourself as evil, and you only ask for punishment. If the crime is so serious, if you don't punish, how can the king control the righteous way in the coming year?"

Speaking of this, Pei Nixian even had tears of regret on his face, grabbed the saber discarded by King Luling, and wanted to cut himself off.

After Li Xian saw this, he kicked the saber in Pei Yixian's hand, picked it up again, pointed at him and sighed: "Even if Pei Lang is at fault, I am the only one who is not in charge of punishment now. I can be lynched indiscriminately. If I still blame myself, then I have to ask myself, what kind of hate is born to me? My family and country can’t tolerate it. People around me just see it. This sword should not be punished by Pei Lang. Let me go first Punish yourself!"

While speaking, the King of Luling actually turned the blade of the sword towards himself, and slowly placed it under his jaw.

"Your Majesty can't!"

Seeing this, Pei Ni was even more anxious. He threw himself forward and clutched the sharp blade tightly with empty hands, tears streaming down his face: "The old crime of humble position has been regretted, and if the king breaks a hair because of my fuss again, it will be a serious crime." ! If the mountains and rivers change color in the coming year, who will the Tang family's foundation be entrusted to?"

When Li Xian saw that the palm of Pei Nixian's hand holding the sword had been cut by the blade and blood flowed horizontally, he was also very moved for a while. Trust me. I am the only one who is insignificant, unbearable to be responsible, humiliated, and dusty in the temple!

The world has been overturned several times, the righteous way has disappeared without a trace, the family is despicable and can't be calm, and the world's strong people have nothing to follow, all my faults!Let me save this life, not because I am nostalgic for the prosperity of the world. If there are changes in the family temple when I come here, I will go to the disaster generously and live up to the last order entrusted to me by the emperor!The sage is safe in the court, and there are no thieves in the family, and I can go to the underworld with a smile, worthy of my ancestors! "

"Your servant will steal your life to survive the crime. Only by this oath, and by the words of your majesty's ambition, master and servant will go through this hardship together!"

Pei Ni first let go of the hand holding the sword, slapped the bloody palm on his chest, then prostrated himself on the ground, and said with a pause.

The two expressed their intentions, and each other's previous suspicions were resolved, and they were divided into primary and secondary seats. Pei Nixian asked someone to pass the meal to the banquet. Naturally, it was not the previous rice, rice, sauce, which was as rich as land and water. .

The king of Luling was in ups and downs, but he was still cautious and did not drink to the point of drunkenness.Pei Ni didn't dare to bother him for a long time, but when he saw that the king of Luling was having a good time, he took off his crown, worshiped again, said goodbye and withdrew.

After Pei Yi left first, Li Xian knocked on the table and ordered: "Has Lang and the ladies slept yet? Quickly call them into the hall to enjoy the delicious food."

Concubine Wei Shi also had a smile on her face at the moment, but she still hesitated and said, "Does Your Majesty really believe what Pei Ni first said?"

"Living in this prison, all I can see are the four walls. Outside of my family, who approaches me with a different heart and looks at me? There is no need to scrutinize whether what he said is true or not, only what I want is certain. "

Speaking of this, the drunkenness in the eyes of King Luling faded away, and he said with emotion: "In the old days, the gods have changed, and I have missed the opportunity. If there is another turning point, I must not fall behind again. This is what Pei said. It may not be close to the truth, but there must be a plan to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. God even thought that disasters were about to happen. He felt it and arranged it in advance. I will accept this surrender no matter what.

It's not because I believed him credulously, but because even if the gods change, I don't know good or bad.Even if an envoy comes to see me, I don't know whether to kill me or welcome me.The good and the evil of foreign envoys are second, but only this man grabs the knife by the bedside, and his thoughts are a matter of life and death to me..."

Not to mention the private calculations of the Luling king and his wife, it was getting late when Pei Nixian left the inner city, so he simply stayed in the outer hall of the king's city.

The family went to the house to bandage the wound on the palm of Pei Ni first, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Ah Lang really intends to invest his life and death to the King of Luling?"

Pei Ni sneered after hearing the words first, and sighed: "The king of Luling is lenient and jealous, and his flesh and blood are still ruthless. If I entrust my life to him, will I really seek my own death?"

"Then Alang still wants to... use this to spy out whether the King of Luling has any evil thoughts, so as to play God's capital?"

After the family heard the words, they couldn't help asking again.

"The king of Luling is isolated from the world and has no power. Whatever his intentions are, he is inferior. Only his status is right, rare goods can live, and the masses are conspiring against each other, so we have to guard against it."

Speaking of this, Pei Nixian sighed again: "When I returned from Tingzhou, I didn't lose my plan. However, when I use me today, I still follow the old sins of the bones. But there are one or two tolerant plans. Give me the old guard's advice. Even if there is a change in the two capitals in the coming year, and the holy car is in danger, I will be among the dead! Now that I am placed in the south of the mountain and used for injustice, it can be seen that I am still regarded as an evil stream. This whole body has been tossed around in the In the north and the south, a few disasters without destroying their ambitions, is it just to lick the flesh and blood of the Tian family and fight for evil luck?"

"Luling is hard to entrust, and saints don't know... Alang, Alang, what do you want?"

"The ignorance of the saint is not limited to me. Wei Chengqing is high in Fengchi, and the country is in danger. His clan power is not used in Hebei, but is deployed in Luonan. It can be seen that he has ulterior motives. He flaunts the old traces of my family and gathers the noble family of the family. The people's hearts prevent me from being in the rivers and lakes, and I know that the outside is right and the inside is evil. In the coming year, there will be chaos, and the book will be published! If I don't get close to Luling, I will be at a loss to know that death is coming. Now let me surrender, and if something happens, Luling Mausoleum will consult me ​​for public opinion. Whether he throws himself into the rivers and lakes again, or sues a famous king, a short plan is just the unyielding obsession of a downcast person..."

Chapter 0751 Turks back, Khitan anti-Tang

It was supposed to be the end of the year for families to spend the festive season together, but because of the Turkic invasion, the entire city of God was shrouded in a cloud of war, so naturally there was no festival.Even some necessary rituals of the imperial court can be avoided, and the entire imperial court is nervously waiting for the follow-up battle report from Hedong.

The reaction of the imperial court could not be described as insensitive. After crossing the river, the [-] Yulin army rushed to Bingzhou to help them.In this battle, the Turkic thieves waited for work with ease and defeated the five thousand Yulin army.

When this battle report was sent back to the court, there was an uproar in the court, and the threat posed by the Turkic invaders rose sharply. Emperor Li Dan was furious. The battle with the Turks is not only related to the stability of the current internal and external situation. It directly determines whether the subsequent court majesty can be re-established.

Since the revolution in Shendu, there have been frequent reports of great successes in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, and repeated defeat of bandits, which has already made the hearts of North Korean lovers anxious.The Turkic invasion this time was thought to be a good opportunity for the court to declare its prestige, but it did not expect that the first battle would be a big defeat and a loss. This result is really unacceptable.

In a fit of rage, the emperor directly ordered his envoys to capture Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Shuofang Road, who had failed to supervise the battle.

But the questioning and sentencing are still secondary, and the most important issue right now is to continue to arrange counterattacks.In discussions related to the aftermath, the courtiers were also clearly divided into two factions.

One of the factions supported Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province to send troops to Hedong. Since the news of the Turkic invaders spread to the two capitals, Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province has been eagerly asking for a battle.

In terms of pure military strength, it undoubtedly far surpassed the imperial court.The [-] Yulin Army at the vanguard of Shuofang Road's march was already one of the few elite forces that the imperial court could mobilize for the expedition in a short period of time, but they were ambushed and defeated by the Turks.In the follow-up, although there are still troops to continue to recruit and dispatch to the north, both the level of armed forces and combat effectiveness are far behind the elite strikers.

Moreover, the Turkic bandit army has appeared in the southern part of Bingzhou, which shows that its sweeping momentum is already extremely serious.Fortunately, the news of Taiyuan's fall has not yet been received, but the Turkic encirclement and reinforcements have become a trend. If there is no elite army to fight in the future, it will be very difficult to reverse such a bad situation.

Under such circumstances, if the Xingtai West Army is still not allowed to fight just because of fear, it is really unreasonable.What's more, Taiyuan, as the land of Tang Ye Longxing, once it is breached by the Turks, the bad impact will be fatal.

It should be noted that in the Wu Zhou season when the border situation was the most disorderly, although the Turks were in a state of turmoil year after year, it was difficult for their thieves to break through to the territory of Bingzhou.Once the northern capital is destroyed, the powerful image that the Tang Dynasty has created over the years will be destroyed, and the order of the various parties may also completely collapse as a result.

But the voices against sending troops to Xingtai are also very loud. The Turkic mochu or the wolves from the south, but King Yong is a poor dragon in the country. Once the restrictions on King Yong are released, the consequences will be even worse Worse than the ravages of the Turks.

"The Turkic thieves took advantage of the weak and unprepared states in the east of the river, and they may become a mopping up trend for a while, but it will not last long. All the territories they plundered were remote countryside, and there were very few conquered cities. It can be seen that there was no fortification. The reason why Shuofang Dao’s rushing reinforcements failed in the battle was not because their skills were inferior to those of the thieves, their teachers were exhausted, and they fought against the times, so they were taken advantage of by the thieves.”

Jiang Xi, the supervisor in the palace, has recently paid homage to the prime minister and has to join the army for national secrets. He firmly opposes the Xingtaixi Army sending troops.Not only Jiang Xi, most of the prime ministers in the political affairs hall did not approve of sending troops on the stage.

Prime Minister Wei Juyuan also raised his hand and said: "The city of Taiyuan is high and wide, with more than ten thousand residents. It may be disturbed for a while due to difficulties, but it is very difficult for the Turkic bandits to break through the city. The bandits come and go in Monan, or return You can take advantage of the vastness of the land to hide the thieves. The mountains and rivers in the east and the outside are collude and restricted by the terrain, so it is not a land of vertical and horizontal. The thieves are poor, and they may run around to plunder, but it is absolutely difficult to separate them. For example, hungry wolves in the countryside flee when they are full .

Zhuzhou and counties have to defend their land and do not fight for meritorious deeds, and the banditry is bound to last forever.When he retreats, the imperial court will make the elite army chase after him, so that he can break his return journey.Previously, the Western Army defeated the bandits in Hequ, because of this strategy. "

"However, the east of the river is the heart of the country, and the humerus of the two capitals. If the thieves are allowed to loot calmly, the local people will suffer a lot, and the court's prestige will also be greatly damaged. It is good to track down the thieves, but the thieves If the disciple escapes and catches up with him, and enjoys this benefit, in the coming year the Hedong states may become a barn for thieves!"

The prime minister, Li Sixun, said with concern that he worshiped the prime minister on the basis of his clan kinship. Although major and minor matters would not violate the emperor's wishes, he did not have much conflict with the Daoxingtai itself.At the moment, it is the best choice to give way to send troops. With just one order, tens of thousands of Western troops can cross the river to kill the thieves, and there is no need to wait for the situation.

Sun Yuanheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, also agreed to send troops to the stage. His native place is in Hedong, so he should be more concerned about the safety of the situation in Hedong, and as the head of the Ministry of War, he should be more aware of the military power that the imperial court has today: "Before the Nanya, the guards each held Edict and Xiazhou supervise the transportation of money and food, and there is a shortage of soldiers in the court. Today, the Yulin Army is gone, and there are fewer fine armors available. Now in the east of the river, only the township righteous group practiced to defend the city, let alone the power to attack. If it is true Let the thieves sweep away, there is no cavalry armor that can stop the thieves from returning..."

The opinions of the members of the political affairs hall can no longer be unified, and each has its own insistence.As for Wei Chengqing, the Minister of Zhongshu who was supposed to preside over the coordination, he just sat silently at the table and didn't say a word.

Li Huaiyuan, the chief executive of Shuofang Road, who was about to enter the capital and was sanctioned, was originally recommended by him. The emperor pursued and punished Li Huaiyuan regardless of the grand plan of changing generals, which in itself was sending a signal of extreme dissatisfaction with him, so he would No matter what opinions I express, I'm afraid they won't be accepted.

Seeing that everyone in the Zhengshitang held their own opinions and could not be unified, Emperor Li Dan was also very upset.In fact, he has already hesitated a little whether to give way to Xingtai to send troops, and his attitude is no longer as firm as it was at the beginning.

But Wei Juyuan mentioned his biggest heart trouble in one sentence. The Turks are just wandering thieves.

But once the power of Xingtai enters Hedong in a legitimate way, then Hedong Prefecture County may no longer be owned by Hedong.Once this happens, then he, the emperor, will become even more nameless and completely reduced to a fish on the chopping board.

"King Yong has been conquering the army for a long time, and the disturbance in the east of the river is not part of it. He really can't bear to be forced to work harder. The humiliation of the ancients' three defeats can still be fought bravely. There are all court figures. Although they lost the first battle, they can't be blamed. The thieves will be poor and rampant for a long time, and they must not be allowed to continue to run rampant. Then, the king of Yu led the governor of Bingzhou and the general manager of Tianbing Dao, sent slaves and exiled prisoners from all states in the capital, and expanded the heavenly soldiers. Here, Yin Xun is exonerated!"

The emperor paused, and then continued: "Shaanxi Province is eager to fight and be loyal to state affairs, and it must not be disrespectful. All counties and counties belonging to Tongzhou, Huazhou, etc., which belong to Gyeonggi Province, and those who donate their energy and donate materials will be counted. Ci Xun, enter Puzhou and march for Tianbing Dao!"

The Shaanxi Province is eager to fight. Although the imperial court uses its strength cautiously, it must not tolerate the bandits in the east of the river, and must actively respond to counterattacks.The troops under the capital are already greatly insufficient. Without using the Xingtai West Army, dispatching the new Wanqi army has become one of the few options.

But once Wanqi is dispatched, the defense in Kinai will be even more empty.Once the Western Army comes east, there will be no way to deal with it.Therefore, the emperor wanted to include several prefectures of Guannei Road in the scope of recruitment. On the one hand, it would disintegrate the dissension among the people, and on the other hand, it would also lock in righteousness. And the treacherous traitor who jumped against the country.

Everyone present had their own perceptions of the emperor's plan, and no matter whether they agreed with it or not, they did not dare to speak out against it directly.So in the future, personnel supplements can only be made in accordance with such a framework set by the emperor.

So then the entire imperial court started a new round of mobilization, this time with greater intensity than before.Previously, all the officials and slaves in the capital had been sent out. This time, the emperor's eldest son Dianjun was used to conscript the soldiers and the people.

In a very short period of time, more than [-] soldiers were dispatched in the entire Duji Province, and they continued to flow from various states and counties to Huaizhou, Zezhou and other places in Hebei.

The amount of money and food involved in such a large-scale expropriation is also astonishing. The treasury of the Duji government is almost empty, and a large amount of various expenses for the coming year that have already been checked and inspected have also been embezzled in large quantities.Throughout Duji Province, scholars and people are suffering from various new school service and miscellaneous donations.

But no matter how the people's livelihood was destroyed, the newly formed armies from all walks of life finally continued to move towards the east of the river. The military chariots joined each other end to end, and the soldiers were recruited all over the mountains and fields, and they gathered in Bingzhou in a mighty way.

In such a pressing situation, even though the Turkic bandits were rampant, the space for their activities was gradually reduced.Although there were many new brigades conscripted by the imperial court this time, all the armies marched side by side and acted in coordination, so that the Turks no longer had the opportunity to attack separately, and had to retreat gradually.When the army entered Bingzhou again, the Turkic rebel army had already withdrawn to Daibei.

Although the bandit situation in Hedong came to an end, Shan Yudao's march, which was originally scheduled to appear on the back road of the bandit army, missed the schedule and did not appear on the Turkic retreat route, causing the Turkic bandit army to successfully retreat to Monan.

It is unacceptable for the imperial court to go to war in such a big way, but failed to wipe out the Turks with all their strength.Knowing that Shan Yudao's army was out of schedule, the imperial court naturally sent envoys to interrogate them, but not long after the envoys were dispatched, shocking news came from Hebei: Li Jinzhong, the governor of Khitan Songmo Prefecture, attacked and killed the chief executive, Dou Xiaochen, and joined forces with other Khitan tribes to raise troops Anti Tang!

Chapter 0752 Heaven's crime, I respectfully accept it

In the Great Neiwucheng Hall, all court officials and important officials sat on the seats, the atmosphere in the hall was dull and depressing, only Xiao Zhizhong, a member of Zhongshushe, reported the military situation.

"Since the establishment of the March on behalf of the North Road, Duke Shen has been diligent in his work and dare not neglect. He has passed on to the states and made an appointment to join forces in Youzhou to attack the Turks. The northeastern states are plagued by frost and snow. Khitan Li Jinzhong repeatedly asked for an extension. Zhao Wenhui, the governor of the state, was ungrateful and sympathetic, and he didn't take borderlines as a danger. He was forced to go out in a hurry.

When the Khitan tribes entered the state, the scholars and horses were already cold and starved, and the tribes had deep grievances. Li Jin was loyal and respectful to the outside world, hiding traitors in his arms, and bribed the officials and assistants of Youzhou, please come to the city to live in camp.Shen Guogong patrolled the camp and entered the Khitan tribes. Li Jinzhong was loyal to the tent set up and invited, and within the tent, he attacked and killed Shen Guogong, stole the amulet and corrected the order, and then the subordinate bandits occupied Jicheng and counted the bandits.

Shan Yudao's deputy chief Yang Xuanji heard the change and returned to attack, although the loyal troops retreated in panic, but more than half of the army, horses and equipment gathered in Youzhou have been lost..."

Xiao Zhizhong's report has already been reworked.But even if there is some concealment, it still cannot conceal the stupidity of Shen Guogong Dou Xiaochen.Even if the others don't care about it, if he alone brought the dissatisfied people of Khitan's troops into the city, and even entered the camp to meet Li Jinzhong at night, this is completely self-defeating, and people can't figure out what this guy wants to do.
