over ten thousand people

Just look at the froze expressions of the people in the hall to see how much impact these words have had.For a moment, you could hear the sound of a needle falling, and it seemed that even your breathing had stopped.After a long while, Wang Ruojun said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am old and incompetent, I may have misheard your Majesty's words just now."

I know what Wang Ruojun means.It's not that he really didn't hear clearly, but he wanted to give me a step down, in case I was just crazy. "If you heard that I want to go to Jiannan Road, then you heard it right."

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.No matter how good his self-cultivation is on weekdays, he also showed a bit of panic at this time.

After all, Cui Ying is a military general, and he has more twists and turns than civilian officials. "Your Majesty, are you going...to supervise the army?" He asked, almost outspoken.

I also know why he thinks so.The father expanded the territory, not to mention the martial arts, the martial arts must be unrivaled; in contrast, I was raised in the Xingjing Taiji Palace since I was a child, not to mention the delicate skin and tender meat, and I don’t eat the fireworks of the world, let alone go to the battlefield .If the ministers have no objections, that would be hell.

"There are other people in the supervisory army." I said, amused to see Cui Ying's increasingly vigilant appearance, "but I don't want to be conscripted by the imperial driver." There is an imminent battle, if we really want to do it, it will only delay.

Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then became more and more confused. "Then what does His Majesty mean?"

"The imperial edict will be issued to Xingfu Mansion, but I will go to Yi Mansion."

Diefu is the capital of Longyou Dao, and it is the place where the party and the government stick to it all the year round.Yifu is the seat of Jiannan Daozhi, located in the west of the central part; although it is closer to the junction of Tuyuhun, it is still far from the front line.

"Your Majesty, are you trying to... make a fuss?" Several generals lost their voices at the same time, all with shocked expressions.

"When Xuan you entered the palace, I had already thought about this matter." I nodded naturally, "If Tubo Zanpu wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, he must not want to lose morale. Therefore, even if Tubo, Jiannan, and Longyou both At the border, he also leans more toward Jiannan. There are three reasons, let me tell you first, and listen to see if there is any problem."

A few people look at me and I look at you, and there is no objection.As for Xie Jingyu, since I said I was going, he hasn't said a word, he just stared at me closely.

I cleared my throat while he was staring at him with "I want to hear what your majesty is wrong this time". "First, there are Dang generals in Longyou. Since the Huns were wiped out, all countries in the Western Regions have been frightened when they heard about the Dang. Moreover, the Dang generals run the army rigorously. If he can't be called a good general, there will be no one."

The party and the destruction of the Xiongnu made great contributions, and he can be called the number one general of the dynasty.Everyone was convinced and nodded.

"Secondly, that's what General Cui just said." I continued, "Although they are considered remote places, there are still great differences between Jiannan and Longyou. I heard that Longyou Dao is also called Huangsha Dao Needless to say, the conditions are difficult. Jiannan is located in the southwest, but it is a rich place. Counting rice and millet, it is probably second only to Jiangnan, which is known as the land of fish and rice. Where can I put the fat in front of my eyes and not eat, but go to eat hard bones?"

They had no doubts about this, and nodded again.

"The third is the way to use troops to avoid their fringes. If I want to go to Longyou, Tubo can only attack Jiannan. In this way, it can save the effort of sending more soldiers to Longyou, and shorten the long time." Defensive line, meet the enemy with all our strength in Jiannan."

When I said "I'm going to Longyou, Tubo can only fight Jiannan", several ministers showed expressions of disapproval, presumably thinking that the king of a country should not put himself in danger.But when they heard the last sentence, they were stunned.

"Does Your Majesty mean that His Majesty's guard of honor will go to Die Mansion by himself, and His Majesty will go to Yi Mansion with the army in uniform? But in the eyes of outsiders, His Majesty is going to Die Mansion to inspect the military situation?" Cui Ying asked tentatively.

I nod my head. "There are all kinds of barbarians in Xingjing City. Although most of them are sincerely attached to this court, it is inevitable that a few slip through the net." And I will call Yan Tongfu in a while, and ask him to send more plainclothes to the streets in the near future, and see if he can do it. The spies of Tubo cannot be caught.

Not everyone can read this kind of subtext, but Xie Jingyu's expression has turned to contemplation, and he must have been a little shaken.

Before I said I was going, I had already expected that Xie Jingyu would definitely be the biggest voice of opposition from the court.As long as he's convinced, the others aren't a big deal. "If you ask Longyou and the nearby prefectures to send troops to each other, and make the appearance of troop mobilization, it will be better to deceive people." I continued, "At the same time, several generals here are all leading their troops to Jiannan. It’s not so conspicuous anymore.”

The generals who were named exchanged glances and began to think.Cui Ying opened her mouth several times, closed it again, and finally sighed: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and I am far beyond my reach."

Several other people also nodded one after another, including Wei Ji.I immediately clapped my hands, signaled Liu Jin to bring up the Tiger Talisman that had been prepared, and ordered the four generals to gather troops overnight and rush to Jiannan Road.In order to arrive before Tubo's sneak attack, it is natural to race against time: they received my verbal order, and immediately retreated to order troops.

The few remaining ministers saw this, no matter how dull they were, they understood that I had already made up my mind.

Wang Ruojun looked at Xie Jingyu, who was still silent, and then at Cao Ju, who could not speak without speaking, and took up the important task again. "Your Majesty, I have never understood anything about leading troops to fight, so I can only rely on the judgment of the generals. Since all the generals agree with His Majesty's dispatch, I have no objections. However, I still feel a little dissatisfied with His Majesty's plan to attack the West." OK."

I knew that civil servants were more difficult to deal with. "Please Wang Xiangming, I will seriously consider it."

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the frontline soldiers. It is a good thing if you want to visit in person to boost morale. However, Your Majesty is a man of gold, and nothing will happen if you are idle. Although the Die Mansion is not on the front line, there may be some turmoil in the near future. I think that since there are all of you The soldiers will protect each other, and His Majesty will sit behind and plan strategies."

Cao Ju immediately nodded in agreement, but Xie Jingyu remained silent.

"I know that Wang Xiang is thinking for me. But Wang Xiang, has he ever thought about how a person who has never been to the field can talk about strategizing? I did mention three points just now, and General Cui and the others also agreed. They all agree, but that's just something from the upper echelon. How to fight, in the end, we still need to discuss more, combined with the actual situation, before we can make a final conclusion.

"In addition, if my order is to be carried out, it must be carried out by experienced soldiers. Only they know what is wrong or not feasible. Take a step back, even if it can be done this time, It may not work next time. If things go on like this in the long run, it will definitely end up on paper."

Wang Ruojun was rendered speechless by my arguments on paper.It took him a long time before he spoke again: "If your Majesty goes to Yi Mansion, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Beijing in three or five months. Then the affairs in Beijing and China..."

"I'm going to ask Wang Xiang to take care of things that are not important. If there is an urgent matter, it will be handled the same as last time in the Luo Mansion."

Wang Ruojun obviously knew that with his current physical condition, it was already too much for him to go on patrol with me, but it would be fatal to go with the army.Therefore, he did not insist too much. "It's my honor to be able to share the worries of His Majesty. It's just..."

I'm just annoyed at Wang Ruojun's point, saying something is like squeezing toothpaste, it doesn't show on the surface. "what else?"

Wang Ruojun looked at Xie Jingyu again, and when he turned his face again, he looked determined. "Your Majesty, if you must go, you should bring Prime Minister Xie with you. The generals are busy with the war, even if they have the heart, they will inevitably take care of them; and Prime Minister Xie joined the army in his early years, and often accompanied the Emperor Tai|Zu , will definitely be able to arrange everything properly."

When I heard "Bring Xie Xiang", I couldn't help raising my eyebrows.Xie Jingyu is very good!He has only been transferred to Shangshusheng for four months, so can Wang Ruojun speak for him?The popularity is really good!No wonder he didn't express his position from the beginning, so the big move is waiting for me here!

"How about thanking you?" I asked him intentionally.

Xie Jingyu immediately took a step forward and bowed. "Your Majesty will obey your orders."

If it weren't for everyone watching, I really want to roll his eyes at him.That's the idea you're making—either I can't go, or you can go if I go—right?Little boy, still pretending to be like me?

"That's exactly what I mean. I said earlier that someone has been selected to oversee the army, and this person is Prime Minister Xie. I think this matter involves many armies, and when it comes to dispatching duties in daily life, it is just like what the king said just now. Only thank you is worthy." Zhen said, with a slight and imperceptible cold snort.

"I must devote myself to His Majesty..." Xie Jingyu said.Regardless of whether he heard it or not, he gave a big gift.

But his words had a suspicious ending, probably because he thought that I despise him after death, so he swallowed it back. "Get up," I couldn't help laughing, but still kept my face covered, "Cao Xiang, Wei Shangshu, do you have other ideas?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have not." Cao Ju's answer was as uninteresting as ever.

"The saying that a tiger father has no dog sons is what I really understand today." Wei Ji said so, while flattering me, he also did not forget to kiss my father's.

I glanced at him, wondering if I couldn't help but let him go first or if he emptied his body first.But now is not the time to pursue this, I waved them off, leaving only Xie Jingyu alone.

"Xie Xiang is neither the first nor one of the opponents today. I am very surprised." I started the topic first, after all, Xie Jingyu was really too quiet.

Xie Jingyu seemed a little embarrassed, but only for a moment. "I really wanted to object at first. But your majesty is indeed right, and I can't refute it."

I can't help raising my eyebrows. "Can't refute? So let Wang Xiang speak for you?"

"I don't know that Wang Xianghui would suggest this." Xie Jingyu immediately clarified, "Wang Xiang said this only out of concern for His Majesty's safety, and I believe that I have the same concerns."

I would have been skeptical before switching to it, but today it is no different than in the past. "Then what are you going to say this time? Still never leave the left and right Qianniuwei?" Zhen joked.

"Chen..." Xie Jingyu's helplessness surfaced again.He probably knew that it would be no good to fight with me, so he cleverly changed the subject: "What your majesty said just now is very true. Let's call together the troops and horses first, and then come back on the way to discuss the details. But I just want to ask, is your majesty double-handed?" A plan to strike east and west?"

"What did you think of?" I looked at him with a smile on the corner of my mouth.

"Your Majesty just said that you are actually going to Yi Mansion under the guise of Die Mansion. Your Majesty also said that if you don't go to the ground to plan a strategy, you are actually talking on paper. I can't help but wonder if Yi Mansion is also a cover. Your Majesty's real goal is actually Is it An Rong City?"

Anrong City, as the name suggests, one can figure out what it is for.This city is close to the border with Tuyuhun, and it is a well-deserved frontline stronghold.To be more precise, there are many cities connected between Anrong City and Yifu, and some people have large tracts of fertile land, which should be coveted by Tubo.

I laughed even more happily. "Sure enough, those who know me, thank you." After a pause, I became curious again: "You guessed that I wanted to go to Anrong City, and you didn't object?" This is not like Xie Jingyu's usual style!

Hearing this question, Xie Jingyu raised the corner of his robe and kneeled solemnly. "Your Majesty once climbed the Guanque Tower to observe the convenience of the Yongji Canal, and also visited the Heishi Pass in Mangshan Mountain to test the abundance of the Luokou warehouse. At that time, the ministers knew that Your Majesty has a big heart, and he must spread his wings to the sky. Now, Your Majesty thinks If you want to drive out the barbarians for the Great Zhou, and even expand the territory, if you can't ask for it, how can you object?"

I heard my heart move. "I've always understood the truth, but I asked about something else."

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu immediately raised his head, his eyes were bright and burning. "As long as the minister is by His Majesty's side, His Majesty will not hurt a single hair!"
