Ranwen ?ena'com
Yang Yue's attitude is tough, and his confrontational attitude with the Turks and Khitans is unquestionable.
Suddenly hearing Li Xuanqi, Xiao Yun suggested that he gradually felt that he had despised the Khitan before and was too emotional.
In particular, the two put themselves in the shoes of the Khitan interests to explain the Khitan strategy.
If in order to expand the territory, seize interests, and confront the Turks, the Khitan fell into the ground, counterattacked, and deliberately weakened the power of Dandong, and he would eventually lose the strength to contend with the Turks and Khitan.
At present, the only way to lift the military disaster from the Khitan is to use the power of the imperial court!
Once the imperial court sent troops from Youzhou and threatened the southeastern Khitan tribes, Lin Kaiyue in the northeast approached with cavalry, and the Khitan wanted to sit and collect the fisherman's thoughts, and he would be stillborn.
In silence, the team arrived in front of the Yan Wang's mansion, the guards at the door stepped forward quickly, grabbed the reins of the greedy wolf horse, Yang Yue jumped off the greedy wolf horse, and strode towards the mansion.
Wei Jiyan, Fan Hengwen and his entourage dismounted and followed behind Yang Yue and walked into the palace at a gallop.
In the rest of the month, the palace is the same as Dandong City, gradually lively, there is a strict order, Yang Yue is moving forward, and the maids and guards who meet by chance bow down one after another.
Walking into the front yard, Yang Yue suddenly stopped, turned to Li Xuanqi coldly and asked: "Lord Li, Chang'an sent an envoy to come, didn't he just remind this king to contain the Turks and Khitan on the eastern front, isn't there no Daoming imperial court attitude and northern defense?"
"Lord Wang, for a long time, among the officials of the imperial court, they have been divided into the peace-seeking faction and the main battle faction. This time, the military department sent an envoy to come, because the left and right servants shot at the emperor Daoming The imperial court was facing a crisis, and the main battle faction of the imperial court was summoned, and the attitude was tough in the face of the crisis, so the emperor was determined to resist the enemy.
However, the King of Qin, the King of Shu, Zhang Shaoming, Duanmu Ye, and the generals of the main battle faction led many troops in the border fortress, and their voice in the court was not high.
On the other hand, the prince, Zhongshu Ling and the six Shangshu, mostly advocated peace, especially the Turkic, Khitan, Hedong, Hexi Jiedu envoys, the four major forces coincidentally sent troops to the Tang Dynasty, these people are like frightened birds, have advocated peace, and even some officials proposed to move the capital to Luoyang and cede the northern part of Guannei Road.
Weichen was afraid that the border generals would get good news on the front line, thwart the invasion of the Turkic, Khitan, Hexi, and Hedong Jiedu envoys, the prince, the Zhongshu order and the six Shangshu, and suggested that the emperor should accept it when he saw it and stop the border generals from chasing and beating hard.
If the front-line generals are unfavorable in battle,-for-tat with each other, or even small-scale routs in local areas, the crown prince and other officials will definitely suggest that the emperor should call off the army and sue for peace in various places.
When the foreign enemy invaded and the Tang Dynasty lived and died, the imperial court depended on the performance of the border generals, and more importantly, on the attitude of the imperial court to seek peace, so the envoy came and only reminded the prince to contain the Turks and Khitan in the east, and did not show the attitude of the imperial court.
What's more, when the envoy returned, Weichen sent spies to Youzhou to investigate Yuan Yangge, Duanmu Ye's troops, and the main force of Shenwuwei under the command of the two generals was attached to the pass, and cooperated with the king of Shu to resist the envoy Han Xifan of Hedong Jiedu.
All kinds of signs prove that there are officials in the imperial court who have evil intentions and try to use the Turkic and Khitan invasions to deliberately weaken the power of the prince secretly. This was even secretly instructed by the emperor."
Li Xuanqi expressed his thoughts and the attitude of the court, and said indignantly.
Hearing this, Yang Yue's handsome face suddenly became cold, he took a deep breath, and shouted: "The food king's Lu divides the king's worries, but the court has raised a group of wine bags and rice bags, when is this happening, and he is still trying to cut the land and sue for peace, isn't he still preparing to marry the princess of the dynasty to the Turks?"
"Lord Wang, what you said is not wrong, the court is not without this kind of voice, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has proposed to marry the third princess to the Turks in exchange for peace!" Li Xuanqi said softly.
"Damn!"
Boom!
Yang Yue was furious, stomped his feet suddenly, and the bluestone slab under his feet was shattered on the spot, setting off bursts of dust.
In the midst of the rage, Yang Yue looked at Li Xuanqi sharply, and asked: "The imperial court and Dandong are dependent on each other, and if Dandong's military strength is weakened by the Turkic Khitan coalition army, or even the area controlled by Dandong is annexed by the two major tribes.
The enemy is strong and I am weak, and the court does not want to live in peace. Don't the officials in the court know what's at stake?"
Li Xuanqi hesitated slightly, looked embarrassed, approached Yang Yue and said: "Lord, you can never wake up the person who pretends to be asleep, the court officials are all shrewd and know the stakes well, but they pretend to be crazy and stupid, advocate peace in the court, if they don't get greater benefits, how can they make stupid decisions and choices regardless of their personal reputation!"
"These bastards, they really deserve to be chopped alive!" Yang Yue scolded angrily. Stride into the corridor and walk towards the study.
"Lord Li, the prince is far away in Dandong and can't control the situation in the court, you report the situation of the court to the prince, not only can you not solve the problem, but it will only make the prince more troubled." Wei Jiyan approached Li Xuanqi and said with a displeased expression: "The court is rotten, the crown prince is ambitious to destroy his prestige, and a group of people around him who are reluctant to steal their lives, to solve the problems of the court, the root cause is still in the emperor!"
"So, General Wei, if the time is ripe, the prince should return to Chang'an as soon as possible, seize the throne, carry out top-down reforms, and eliminate the stubborn diseases of the imperial court, so that there will be a new atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty." Li Xuanqi said bitterly, he didn't know what he was saying, how could the court not be tough, and the border generals were in a dilemma.
"It's better to discuss a solution with the prince as soon as possible!" Wei Jiyan had no choice but to remind, turned around and walked into the study.
Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Xiao Yun, Xiao Chen, and Chang Fengchun followed closely and walked quickly into the study.
Walking into the study, a maid quickly brought tea and pastries, poured tea for Yang Yue and others, and then bowed down and exited the study.
Yang Yue sat on the soft couch, drinking tea with a teacup, Fan Hengwen, Li Xuanqi, Xiao Yun and others, their hearts were chaotic, and they knew that Yang Yue was angry and didn't dare to say much, so they could only drink tea with a teacup and think about how to break the enemy.
When he was young, Yang Yue raised his head suddenly, glanced at the military generals in the study, and said loudly: "Xiao Yun, quickly send an envoy to the Turks, and strive to persuade the Turkic Khan King Agus to go south, and this king wants to meet with Agus.
Li Xuanqi, mobilize all the infantry and cavalry in Dandong City, approach the Lerao area, no matter what method is adopted, must form an elite scale of more than 500,000, a large army of 50,000 people each time, and march to the Lerao area in batches.
Fan Hengwen, you personally send a letter to Xiang Yuan and Duanmu Ye, no matter how much it costs, you must strive for them to lead Shenwu out of the pass, approach the southeast region of the Khitan, and form an offensive Khitan situation.
Wei Jiyan, you led the troops to the Lenrao region for the vanguard army, and led the army with Zhang Xuanheng.
Xiao Yun, often in spring, you bring Tiefutu, the light cavalry palace, wait for the envoy to return from the Turks, this king and the three hatreds will personally go to meet the Turkic Khan King!"
Hearing this, everyone in the study was surprised, and quickly put the teacup on the desk, Li Xuanqi said impatiently: "Lord Wang, there are only more than 100,000 troops in Dandong City, even if it includes the Tiefutu trained by Xiao Chen, and often rides lightly under the spring tent, it is only 200,000 people, 500,000 troops, and Weichen is helpless!"
