At this point, the errand that the emperor handed over to Li Xin can actually be handed over, after all, the things to be prepared by the military department have been prepared, and the people responsible for sending them to the north are not from the military department, so as long as the things are handed over to Chong Heng, this matter has nothing to do with Li Xin.

However, the Son of Heaven still pulled Li Xin and talked for a while, mainly to discuss some details of the Northern Expedition and how far the farmer should fight.

And one more important thing.

That is, to be famous.

The Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties are playing a decent role, and no dynasty will take the initiative to conquer foreign races, often because of the invasion and counterattack, or under the unbearable disturbance, it will set off a large-scale battle.

Of course, this premise is the unification of Shenzhou, and when the successive dynasties opened the country, they must eat all the land in the pass, and then they can sit in the world with peace of mind, and use one or two generations to switch from offensive to defensive.

Now the Great Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition, in fact, there are some divisions that are unknown.

Because the Yuwen tribes in the north have been quite peaceful over the years, even if there is a conflict, it is a small fight, and there has been no large-scale attack on the northern frontier, especially in the Chengde Dynasty, the Yuwen tribes sent a messenger to pay tribute to the Chengde Son of Heaven with a thousand sheep and two hundred cattle, expressing their willingness to be a vassal to the Great Jin.

So now, it is very unreasonable for the Great Jin to rashly make a move on the north, after all, according to the thinking of the descendants of Zhuxia, if others do not make the first move, you take the initiative to fight others, which is unjust.

This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise if this incident is remembered in the history books in the future, Taikang Tianzi will not look very good.

The Son of Heaven coughed and said, "Chang'an, the imperial court can't be famous, but the Yuwen tribes have no evil in recent decades, how should this problem be solved?" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an has been pondering the Northern Expedition for several years, he has naturally thought about this question, and when he heard this, he answered without hesitation, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no evil in the Yuwen Tribes, let's just create some evil for them." ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile: "What does Chang'an mean?" ”

Li Xin smiled: "In recent years, the minister has been paying attention to the situation in the north, from the past few decades have been fighting with each other Yuwen four, in recent years there is no major conflict, it can be seen that they have not reached any tacit understanding, or someone has unified the Yuwen four, this situation in the near term, will not pose any threat to the imperial court, but after a long time, the Yuwen tribes will inevitably grow stronger, become the Yuwen Ministry, when the time comes, the once powerful Northern Zhou Iron Cavalry, it is very likely to reappear, at this time the imperial court conquered the Yuwen Ministry, Not to do unrighteousness, but to prepare for a rainy day. ”

The word "benevolence" is certainly the best word in the world, but this word can be used to educate all the people, so that all the people in the world can be good people and do good deeds, but this word can never be used to govern the country, and Li Xin's Central Plains Dynasty in the world is more or less burdened by this word.

The alien races in the north were greatly injured, and even after they were scattered, the Central Plains Dynasty would no longer take advantage of the victory to pursue, and would not even take advantage of the danger of others, so they would be thrown in the north, and after a few decades, they would become evil wolves again.

"Taking advantage of people's danger" should be the basic skill of every politician, but the officials in the Confucian Dynasty were familiar with their own people's use of this trick, but they rarely used it against foreign countries.

Speaking of this, Li Xin continued: "Therefore, this time the northern expedition is very necessary, as for the division to be famous, it is very easy, Your Majesty can send people to the north, whether it is pretending to be the Yuwen tribes to attack Yunzhou City, or pretending to be the Yuwen tribes to rob my Great Jin border, these things are very simple, as long as the matter comes out, my Great Jin will be famous." ”

As long as you want to find something, then it is very simple to find a reason to come out, and a certain superpower in the future can even do evil everywhere under the guise of "human rights".

As long as your fist is big enough and your voice is loud enough, no one else will dare to refute what you say.

The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up, stroked his palms and smiled: "It's still Chang'an, you have the means, I understand how to do it." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head and said, "This minister's business." ”

After the two of them talked about Yunzhou City for a while, Li Xin withdrew from Weiyang Palace and left the imperial city.

After Li Xin withdrew, the eyes of the Son of Heaven were still a little hot, after all, Li Xin's words just now helped him solve the last two problems of the Northern Expedition.

That is the actual reason for the Northern Expedition, and the apparent reason.

Li Xin has already given these two reasons.

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath and said, "Fabricated, I want to give an edict to the Xuantong." ”

……………………

Li Xin, who returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, only rested for about an hour, and a family member came to report that it was the farmer who asked to see him.

For the breeder, Li Xin has always attached great importance to it, not to mention the volume problem, just from the point of view of friendship, the breeder has a bit of good fate with him, after all, Li Xin's sword pheasant is still a gift from the head of the breeder.

Calculating the time, that kind of old man has never returned to Beijing since he left the capital in the first year of Taikang, and they haven't seen each other for seven or eight years.

Chong Heng came, Li Xin immediately changed into his regular clothes and met this young man in the living room.

After Chong Heng saw Li Xin, he bowed his hand in a proper manner: "Xia Guan Chong Heng, I have seen Li Houye." ”

Chong Heng is now the chief soldier of the Imperial City Terracotta Division, which should have been the fourth grade, but because of his family background, he mentioned the third grade unusually, but the errand is still the errand of the chief soldier.

This grade, at the age of just turning thirty, is already extremely prominent, but in front of the somewhat unreasonable Jing'an Hou, the grade of Chong Heng is still not enough, so he behaves in a proper manner.

Li Xin pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "What is this doing, our two families have a good relationship, and there is no need to be officialdom." ”

Chong Heng nodded, and under Li Xin's involvement, he sat down on a chair in the living room, and then he lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, I just received a holy decree from the palace, and the holy decree said that I want to escort the ordnance of the military department to Yunzhou City......"

Li Xinhan said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing, I haven't been to Yunzhou City for a long time, so I just went to see the old general." ”

Chong Heng said with a smile: "It's indeed a good thing, but the holy decree said that I want to get this batch of ordnance from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and I also took the people from the Yulin Wei Right Battalion to escort it, so I muttered a little in my heart, thinking that I would come to the Hou Ye's Mansion to get things anyway, so it is better to come over to visit first, so as not to bring people over tomorrow is a little abrupt." ”

"Everything is on the street at the back door of my house, Yu Linwei's people are still watching it, come over tomorrow, just go and collect it directly."

As the two of them spoke, the family of the Hou Mansion in Jing'an had already served tea to Chong Heng, and after the young master took a sip of tea, he hesitated and said, "I don't hide it, I have something to ask the Hou Ye." ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's just a little bit of a seed." ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Chong Heng let out a breath and asked, "I have read the list of the military department, the imperial court ...... Suddenly sending so many things to Yunzhou, I don't know what the intention is ......? ”
