XVIII Rumors of Lin'an 7

"Yang Yan, this kid, is much smarter than before, and he knows how to find a step down for himself." Zhao Yan was very satisfied with Yang Yan's return to Lin'an under the pretext of protecting the Dali mission. However, this does not mean that Yang Yan is recalled to Lin'an this time, and there is really nothing else to do. Because now Dali has come to ask Da Song for help, it has not yet been determined whether to send troops or not, and Guangnan borders Dali, so it is good to call Yang Yan back to understand the situation over there.

Zhao Yan was thinking about it, and an inner servant walked in and said, "The official family, all the adults in the middle book have arrived, and they are waiting for the official family to go out." ”

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out to meet them."

Zhao Yan came to the outer hall, Yu Yunwen, Liang Kejia, Long Dayuan, Shi Hao, Han Yanzhi, Hong Shi and other ruling ministers were all there. After everyone finished saluting Zhao Yan, Han Yan came out and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news from Jingjiang Mansion today, and six days ago, we captured Yulin Prefecture and Lianzhou again. ”

"Oh, that's great." Although the summoning of ministers this time was not to discuss the matter of quelling the rebellion in Guangnan, Zhao Yan was very happy to hear the news of the victory. And the last bit of doubt in my heart is gone. Previously, Zhao Yan had always had a layer of heart, that is, even if Yang Yan returned to Lin'an, would he deliberately arrange for the people of Guangxi to deliberately fight a few defeats after he left Guangxi, and use it to blackmail the imperial court, but now it seems that this layer of heart is also redundant.

But now we still have to discuss the right thing, Zhao Yan said: "Today, the Dali mission is going to Lin'an, about whether to send troops to help Dali, I don't know if you have any opinions?"

Liang Kejia said first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you must not send troops now. ”

Zhao Yan said: "Why is that?"

Liang Kejia said: "Back to Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty has been using troops in the north and south for the past two years, and has never stopped. The top priority at the moment was to quickly quell the Manichaean rebellion, and then recuperate, so it was not easy to start a war again, so the ministers thought that it was not possible to send troops. ”

Hong Shi also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the dispute between Dali and Jiaozhi is a matter of other countries, and what does it have to do with my Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that my Great Song Dynasty also has civil strife, so just ignore it." ”

Zhao Yan frowned slightly, and said: "Zhu Qing can still remember that at the end of last year, the king of Jiaozhi sent a letter of state to my Great Song Dynasty, saying: 'The Manichaean rebellion has affected Jiaozhi, the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and Jiaozhi is willing to send troops to help the Great Song Dynasty quell the chaos in order to protect the territory and the people'." It is called helping the soldiers to quell the chaos, but it is actually the land of the two great Song Dynasty. If after Jiaozhi annexed Dali, he invaded our Great Song Dynasty, and if he didn't save Dali this time, wouldn't it be the growth of the enemy?"

Dye Kejia said: "Although what Your Majesty said is that if my Great Song Dynasty is full of national strength and strong wealth and soldiers, the minister naturally thinks that I should send troops, but now my Great Song Dynasty is still flawless in taking care of itself, and it is like sending troops to help Dali." ”

Hong Shi also said: "In Yichen's opinion, Jiaozhi wants to completely annex Dali, and it is not possible to do it in three or five years. And three or five years later, the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty will be restored, and it is not too late to make a decision there. ”

Zhao Yan was noncommittal, his eyes turned to Yu Yunwen, and said, "What does Yu Qing think?"

Yu Yunwen said: "Although Dali is a small country in the southwest, it has always been friendly with my Great Song Dynasty, and it is not unimportant to be able to contain Jiaozhi and Tubo. What's more, Jiaozhi has always peeped into the land of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and once it annexes Dali, it will definitely invade the Great Song Dynasty. If the Jin people attack from the north again, our Great Song Dynasty will definitely fall into the attack of the north and south, and the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger. ”

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Does Yu Qing mean that he should send troops to rescue Dali?"

Yu Yunwen said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is exactly like this, sending troops to rescue Dali is also to protect my Great Song Dynasty, as long as you can do it, you should send troops to help." ”

Before Zhao Yan could speak, Liang Kejia said: "But Yu Xiang, now my Great Song Dynasty is beyond my strength." ”

There is no need to use garrisons in other places, and it also saves money and food, and kills two birds with one stone. ”

Zhao Yan listened, pondered, obviously considering Yu Yunwen's proposal.

Hong Shi said: "But now that the Guangnan Rebellion has not been completely pacified, how can Yang Yan easily mobilize elsewhere?"

Han Yan said straightly: "Although the Guangnan Rebellion has not yet been completely quelled, the Manichaeism has also gone away, and now there are only four or five state troops left, and the minister thinks that Yang Yan can be mobilized to aid Dali." ”

"No, no." Long Dayuan, who had not squeaked all this time, suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, although Manichaeism is in a big trend, it has not completely subsided after all. If Yang Yan is mobilized to help Dali at this time, Manichaeism may not be revived, and all the efforts we have made before will not be in vain at that time?"

Because he couldn't save Dali or not, it didn't have much to do with him, and Long Dayuan didn't speak just now. But when he heard that Yu Yunwen recommended Yang Yan to help Dali, he immediately spoke out against it. Because the former got the power of dispatching in the central government because of Yu Yunwen's recommendation of Yang Yan and Guangnan to quell the chaos, so that Long Dayuan didn't catch anything, and this time he couldn't let Yu Yunwen succeed anymore.

"This ......" Zhao Yan pondered again, in fact, he agreed with Yu Yunwen's statement in his heart, although Dali is small, it is very important for the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, no matter what, we must also think of rescuing Dali. And now Zhao Yan is also very relieved about Yang Yan's ability to use troops, but what Long Dayuan said is not unreasonable, what if Yang Yan is transferred away and Manichaeism takes the opportunity to make a comeback, it will be more than worth the loss.

At this time, Yu Yunwen said again: "Your Majesty, you might as well wait for Yang Yan to return to Lin'an, summon him to ask, and then make a decision."

Zhao Yan nodded, this is a solution, Yang Yan is at least clearer about the situation in Guangnan than a minister like Lin'an, and it is also appropriate to ask his opinion, anyway, he will return to Lin'an immediately.

At this moment, an inner waiter walked into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Dali mission has entered the city with the scriptures."
