Zhao Junsheng took a sip of hot tea from the teacup and raised his hand: "Tell me what you think!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Xiu hugged his fists, "At present, the 20,000 horses of the lieutenant are still stationed in Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye, and the frustrated Qu Wuxi, who has been occupying Shanshan State before, has now led troops to capture Gaochang, and the original Gaochang Taishou Kan Shuang fled to Rouran. The frustrated troops should suffer relatively large losses, and they will not be able to pose a threat to the Hexi Corridor for the time being! ”

"The minister suggested that he order the captain to lead the army to attack Tuyuhun nearby, so that the imperial court does not need to transfer troops from Qianjing!"

"In addition, the minister also suggested ordering Chang Kun, the general of Chang'an Town, to lead 10,000 cavalry to Jincheng to deter the Hehuang area, first use Chang Kun's army to attract the attention of Mu Liyan, the king of Tuyuhun, and then order the captain to send troops to fight the valley!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "The terrain of the West Sea region is high, and the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains usually encounter the situation of climate and water and soil when they enter, and some people will have difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, and a feeling of weakness wherever they go. ”

Gao Xiu didn't go to the Xiqiang area, he didn't know the situation over there, and he was quite surprised when he heard Zhao Junsheng's words: "There are still such strange things? ”

"Why do you think Tuyuhun has existed for so many years? Every time they were attacked, they retreated to the depths of the plateau, and the large army outside lost their combat strength when they entered, and many of them were annihilated by the Tuyuhun people, and some cautious generals had no choice but to retreat! ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while after speaking, and finally made a decision: "My big cadres and horses can't undertake such a combat mission, but someone can!" In this way, send a military post to recruit Han people, Qiang people, and Di people from the areas of Caohan, Lintao, Liangzhou, and Jincheng to enlist in the army, arm them with high military salaries, good weapons and equipment, and then train them with strict methods! ”

"Before that, you can follow your suggestion to send troops to capture the Hehuang region first! Send an order to the captain's family, asking him to strengthen the winter training of the generals of the army, prepare for next year's expedition to Tuyuhun, and tell the captain's family that the news must not be leaked before the expedition! ”

"Understood!"

The next day, the edict was issued from Qianjing, and due to the heavy snow blocking the road, there must have been a considerable delay along the way.

In the blink of an eye, in the 16th year of Qianguo, before the first month had passed, the Qianjing side began to move, and a large amount of military and combat materials were transported from Qianjing to Liangzhou.

The matter of moving the capital has been brewing in Zhao Junsheng's heart for several years, and he has been preparing for the relocation of the capital in the past few years, and there is no resistance from the army.

He felt that it was time to put this matter on the agenda, and once he casually said when he convened the ministers to discuss the Tuyuhun war: "Qianjing is too far away from Liangzhou, Xiqiang, Southern Dynasties and Rouran, and I wonder if I want to move the capital to Chang'an, otherwise this war will not be easy to fight at all!" Okay, go back! ”

Zhao Junsheng said something casually, but the ministers did not dare to turn a deaf ear, and past experience proved that as long as the words came out of the emperor's mouth, there was no purpose.

As a result, the government and the opposition began to discuss this matter, and some people said that the emperor was planning to move the capital to Chang'an, and those who were unwilling to move the capital were unwilling to accept such a reality, saying that this was gossip, and they didn't know who spread the rumors, and they couldn't be trusted at all.

The government and the opposition were obviously divided into two factions, and they quarreled over the relocation of the capital, but no one brought it to the court.

Some ministers don't think this is groundless, since the emperor proposed it at the court meeting, it must not be untargeted, so some ministers secretly sent people to Chang'an to buy houses and real estate.

Qianjing was arguing over the relocation of the capital, and preparations for a major war had begun in Chang'an and Liangzhou.

Chang Kun commanded 10,000 elite cavalry from Chang'an to Jincheng, and the speed of the journey was very fast, and the lieutenant also moved quietly in Liangzhou, taking advantage of Tugu Hun Muliyan's attention to be attracted by Chang Kun's army that was getting closer to Jincheng, he led the army to march towards Dadou Valley.

At this time, Yang He, the son of Yang Nandang, had already arrived in Qianjing with dozens of cavalry guards Shiyin and Le Liyang.

Zhao Junsheng received a report from Honglu Temple, and once met with them and Yang He in the early dynasty.

Zhao Junsheng said to Shiyin and Le Liyang: "I have heard about the Tuyuhun incident, I am sending troops to prepare to conquer Mu Liyan, but Mu Liyan is not so easy to deal with, if he is a wine bag and rice bag, you brothers will not be contacted twice by him and beat to escape to my Daqian." Therefore, this battle must be a protracted battle, so you brothers do not need to be in a hurry! ”

Shi Yin hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty can send troops to administer justice for my brother, and my brothers are very grateful!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How much gold and silver can you bring with you two brothers when you flee?" ”

Shi Yin's face was embarrassed for a while, "Back to Your Majesty, our brothers were very panicked when they fled, and they didn't have time to pack up the gold and silver, so they didn't have a penny on their bodies, and along the way, Yang and his brothers sold a few horses to get some money and arrived in the capital to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, looked at Yang He, who was wearing a cadre armor, and said to him, "General Yang, have you ever heard the news of your father Yang Nandang?" ”

Yang He hurriedly saluted and said: "The little minister escorted the brothers Shiyin and Leliyang to Beijing along the way, and the news was not very well-informed on the way, and he did not receive any news, and asked His Majesty to inform me, I don't know how my father is now?" ”

Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment and gave Gao Xiu a look.

Gao Xiu saw Zhao Junsheng's eyes, stood up and said to Yang He: "General Xiao Yang, after you escaped from Longzhi City that day, General Ling Zun Yang Nandang led the army to resist the attack of Mu Liyan's army. Afterwards, Jincheng will receive the news and send troops to the rescue, but when resisting Longzhi City, Mu Liyan has already led the army to leave, and our soldiers found Ling Zun in Longzhi City, his head was hung by Mu Liyan on the flagpole of the city gate tower, and his body was abandoned in the ruins for vultures to peck at ······"

Before Gao Xiu finished speaking, Yang He couldn't cry, and the whole person knelt on the ground, extremely sad.

Zhao Junsheng comforted when he saw this: "General Yang mourns, Ling Zun and the more than 2,000 soldiers under his command will not die in vain, and the court will definitely avenge Ling Zun and those dead soldiers!" ”

Yang He gradually regained his calm under the persuasion of Zhao Junsheng and several ministers, he wiped away his tears and knelt straight up to Zhao Junsheng and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Liyan and his ministers have a grudge against their father, and the ministers have heard that Your Majesty has decided to send a large army to crusade against Mu Liyan, please let your Majesty let the ministers join the army of Mu Liyan!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "General Yang is loyal and courageous, Ling Zun died in battle for Daqian Town to defend the border, it is understandable that you want to avenge your father, I agreed to your request, where is Xue An?" ”

Xue Andu stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"Feng Yang He is the general of Long Xiang, and the military department will issue an official document to General Yang, appoint General Yang as a general and send him to Qinzhou, and integrate him into the newly recruited Qinzhou army, and return to Chang Kun moderation!"

"Command!"

Yang He immediately saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said to Shi Yin and Le Liyang: "I have no money but it is difficult to move an inch, I can give you some rewards for you to live temporarily, but this is not a long-term solution, you are my courtiers after all, and I can't watch you live on the streets freezing to death and starving to death!" In this way, I will assign each of your brothers an official position, firstly, your brothers can continue to serve my great cadres, and secondly, they can receive a monthly salary to live in Qianjing temporarily, I wonder what your brothers think I will arrange like this? ”

The brothers were already desperate, and how could they dare to refuse Zhao Junsheng's arrangement, and said: "It's all up to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately said to Li Yuande, the secretary of the ministry: "Li Qing, the ministry will arrange an official position for each of the brothers Shiyin and Le Liyang, and they will take office in a few days!" ”

"Command!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!" The Shiyin brothers agreed.

And Li Yuande ordered someone to arrange an official position for each of the brothers after the next dynasty, the official position is not high, but there are a lot of things, they are all in charge of some small trivial matters, and the busyness also makes the two brothers forget the sadness of the country being ruined, leaving their hometown, and sending people under the fence.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng called several important ministers to the imperial study.

"I heard that since the beginning of the new year, there have been discussions between the DPRK and the central government and the market about moving the capital?"

The ministers looked at each other, and Pei Jin said: "Yes, the court officials and the people in the market have been discussing this matter for a long time, and many people are worried that Qianjing will no longer be prosperous after the capital is moved, and they are worried about their livelihood; The ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the officials, secretaries, and scribes of the various yamen discussed whether their official positions and powers would be affected! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "The matter of moving the capital was mentioned a few years ago, and I suppressed it at that time, because I was worried that it would cause turmoil, but from the perspective of the long-term interests of the great cadres, the relocation of the capital is inevitable, and we cannot give up because of the great resistance and many problems, for the future of the great cadres, for the future of the people of the world, even if the obstacles and difficulties are great and the problems are many, we must complete the relocation of the capital as soon as possible!" I have decided to form a decision-making group for the relocation of the capital by a few of you, and to discuss a feasible strategy for moving the capital, so as to minimize the losses and negative impacts caused by the relocation of the capital! ”

Several important ministers looked at each other, and they all knew that Zhao Junsheng's will was firm, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to change, and now he could only formulate a feasible plan for moving the capital as soon as possible.

Dongfang Chen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of moving the capital can be discussed and formulated as soon as possible and start to be implemented, but the imperial court still does not officially announce it to the outside world, in this way, the people and the surrounding enemy countries have only heard rumors, and they are not sure whether our country has really moved the capital, waiting for the outside world to have determined, we have completed the relocation of the capital, even if someone wants to make trouble, it will not be able to make trouble!" ”
