Chapter 389: Emperor Liang's thoughts
Liu Wenlong rewarded the soldiers of the three armies in battle, and many people were stupidly panicked. He knew very well that under the current circumstances, he must unite the officers and men of the whole army and unite the forces that can be united.
At present, Chen Song's army is approaching Suiyang City, and he, as the emperor, must stabilize morale, boost the morale of the officers and men of the three armies, and reward the three armies in battle, which is bound to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
At this time, the ministers who were rewarded heard Liu Xuanyuan's praise, and they all bowed their hands and said: "The emperor is virtuous, and the ministers dare not take credit" Liu Wenlong waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "Liang Guo has today's prosperous era, it is not my work, without the help of your Aiqing, even if I have three heads and six arms, I will not be able to create a prosperous world." There are no soldiers of the three armies to fight in the east and west, how can Taiping how powerful the Jin State was back then, the Blue Feather Legion was invincible, sweeping the north, but unfortunately it fell into the decades of struggle for the throne, the monarch and the ministers were separated from Germany, the Blue Feather Legion was destroyed, and the Jin State was also annihilated by the Yan State. The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and the ending of the Jin Kingdom is vivid, how can I not know the truth of the unity of the monarch and the ministers. At present, the troops of Chen and Song are approaching the city, and you think how to solve the problem "Whether it is Yuwentai, the imperial historian, or the Taiwei Zhang Bu, or the prime minister Lu Xuan, he knows Liu Wenlong too well, he is ambitious, ambitious, but he is good at Taoguang and obscurity, and has the demeanor of the master of the people and the ministers, so he has gathered famous generals like Zhang Bu, Ju Wentai, Feng Yi, Ma Wu and so on.
There are also two right-hand men, Yu Wentai and Lu Xuan, who give advice and support him financially. At this time, everyone knows Liu Wenlong's thoughts, the four countries in front of him are attacking Liang, and Liang has Chu to respond, but it will not be quickly disintegrated and annexed by the four countries, but the protracted war is very unfavorable to Liang, not to mention, the war takes place in Liang, every time the coalition army captures a city, it is like cutting a piece of meat from Liang, there are too many skin injuries, and it will eventually hurt the muscles and bones, and the achievements of the Liang State will be ruined in 20 years.
At this time, there was silence in the hall for a moment, and the Taiwei Zhang Bu took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the Chen and Song coalition forces have six princes to lead troops to deal with, and it is no problem, but the minister thinks that in order to ensure that the Chen and Song coalition forces can be completely annihilated, it is better to mobilize General Feng Yi who attacked Zheng Guo back, and fight against the Chen and Song coalition forces with the six princes. ”
"That's right, the Liang State has a large number of generals and a vast territory, and after the law change, it has accumulated a lot of financial resources, not that it can't solve the problem of the four countries to cut down the Liang, but to find ways to quickly quell the war, and must not affect the emperor's plan to unify the vassal states." Lu Xuan said.
He is the head of the Lu family of Liang State, and for decades, the entire family has gone all out to support Liu Wenlong's reforms, which not only changed the national strength of Liang State, but also benefited the family a lot.
Yuwentai, the imperial historian, did not dare to agree with the two of them, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's attack on Liang is not an invasion of Liang State, nor is it Zheng Liang's old enemy for generations, all because Liang is strong and borders Zheng Guo, Zheng Guojun and his ministers feel the pressure from Liang State, as the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly." The Liang State was strong, and even in order to concentrate superior forces against the Chen and Song coalition forces, the Zheng State should not be ignored. After all, Li Zhao, as the leader of the Northern Alliance, if he wants to maintain his prestige among the vassal states, he must send troops to attack the Liang State, not to mention, if the Liang State is not destroyed, it is difficult for the Zheng State to become strong. Therefore, the minister thought that the Liang State was currently facing the siege of the four kingdoms of Chen, Song, Zhao and Zheng, and was defeated and retreated, and the territory of the Liang State was not extensive, the soldiers were not strong, the country was not rich, and the name was not united, but the tiger was difficult to defeat the wolves, and the war was fought in various places, even though he was full of strength, but he hit several things at the same time, and his strength was naturally weakened, and it was difficult to hit the opponent hard. What's more, whether it is Chen Song or Zhao Zheng, they are both big countries in the north, and the emperor wants to attack Zheng in the north and attack Zheng in the south, and he also wants to stop Chen Song in the east. The emperor has always had great ambitions, ready to annex the north and unify the vassal states, but after passing through other countries, it can be achieved in three years and five years, so Weichen thought that he would reduce the strength of the Zheng State, be contained by Chu Shu, and take back the troops to go all out to eliminate the Chen and Song troops, and at the same time make friends with the Yan State and attack the Northern Zhao from the east and west, so that the Liang State can solve the urgent need, reduce the losses, and be able to annex part of the land of the Zhao State. Liu Wenlong's face did not change, he was not happy or worried, and said: "Doctor Yu Shi intends to reduce the number of troops in Zheng State, focus on eliminating the troops in Liang State, and at the same time, unite Yan State to carve up the north and south Zhao, but this means" Yu Wentai nodded without hesitation, and said in a humble tone: "Weichen is humble and dare not hide the emperor" Hearing this, Liu Wenlong did not ask Yuwentai, and turned to the ministers and said: "What do you mean by Aiqing, Liang State is surrounded by the four kingdoms of Zhao, Zheng, Chen and Song, and it is a time of crisis, you may wish to speak freely, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, There must be a strategy to retreat from the enemy" At this time, the seventh prince Liu Wenluo stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the imperial doctor said is true. The Liang State is in the west, and has never been valued by the vassal states, and if the Liang forces want to enter the Central Plains, they must destroy Zheng and Zhao. At present, Zhao Zheng unites Chen Song, and Liang State is unable to defeat the enemy, so he can only concentrate superior forces to deal with the troops of the four countries invading the country, and at the same time, unite with Yan State to destroy Zhao. If there is an opportunity to occupy part of the Zhao State and then recapture the Bishan region from the Song State, the Liang State can fight on two fronts to swallow the Zheng State, and within three years and five years, the Liang State will rise in Xitui and become the Western overlord, commanding the vassal states to prepare for the great unification. Liu Wenlong smiled and said nothing, patiently listening to Liu Wenluo's suggestion.
Wei Zhang Bu said: "The emperor should remember that last year's Taimu Mountain Alliance, Yan State's blood stabbing incident, Yan Guo was the first to know the true strength of Liang State, but concealed it and did not report it, but when the Five Kingdoms attacked the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zheng attacked Liang State, but formed an alliance with Chen Song, and took advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Jin State with lightning speed. Not long ago, Zhao Zheng, two important ministers, took the lead in going to Yan State to borrow troops, but was bluntly rejected by Emperor Yan, Yan State was willing to give up the huge interests of attacking Liang State, and stayed out of the matter, it is enough to see that Yan State is ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Weichen thought that the emperor must know the reason that the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and the imperial historian suggested that Yan Guo be drawn to attack Northern Zhao, and Weichen felt that the imperial historian thought about things too simply, and the Yan emperor was young, but he was very deep in ups and downs, and he also had the idea of annexing the princes and unifying the vassal states, so the Yan State just would not agree to unite with the Liang State. Lu Xuan also stood up and said: "At present, the Yan State annexed the Jin State, and the goal must be placed on Donghu, only by annihilating Donghu will the Yan State have no worries and quickly go south to attack the city." Moreover, the minister always thought that Chen Song and Yan had formed an alliance and were in place to defend against Liang, and if Chen Song attacked Liang, how could Yan agree. Moreover, there is one thing that the Imperial Doctor and the Seven Princes are probably not clear yet, Chen Song Zhao Zheng attacked the Liang State, all because the Liang State was too powerful, if they did not unite, they would definitely be merged and eliminated, how smart a person the Yan Emperor was, how could he not know this truth" After listening to the words of several important ministers in the court, Liu Wenlong said: "Neither unite the Yan State, Taiwei, Prime Minister, do you think how to resolve the current crisis" Previously, the two had suggested stopping the attack on Zheng Guo and going all out to destroy the North and South Zhao, not long ago, Yuwentai said his thoughts, although the two did not approve, But he also knew that even if Liang Guo took the initiative to withdraw his troops, Zheng Guo would not stand idly by in order to seek self-protection, not to mention, Chen Song's army was like a rainbow, and it was a good time for Zheng Guo's troops to open up territory and take advantage of the fire to rob.
For a while, the two of them didn't have a way to quickly retreat from the enemy, Liu Wenlong's sharp eyes were fixed on the two of them again, and suddenly, they were like ants on a hot pot, impatient.
After a long time, Liu Wenlong said: "Since there is no suitable method for the Taiwei and the Prime Minister, you might as well deploy according to the advice of the Imperial Doctor and the Seventh Prince, Emperor Yan has a long-term vision, and he will definitely see the benefits of destroying Northern Zhao." Zhang Bu and Lu Xuan had no suitable advice, so they had to follow Liu Wenlong's advice.
Liu Wenlong chose to unite with Yan Guo, and he was seven or eight points sure that Lin Feng would send troops, all because he knew how much Lin Feng hated Northern Zhao and how much he hated Zhao Ke.
Back then, he was oppressed and blackmailed by Zhao State for many years, and he didn't know how much grain and jewelry there was, which flowed into the treasury of Zhao State, and the rise of Yan State, he must return a tooth for a tooth and solve the evil man of Zhao State.
What's more, if the Yan State occupies the northern region of the Zhao State, it will be able to directly attack the troops from the Northern Zhao and attack the Bolchi lair, which is far easier than starting from the Black Flag Pass and attacking Bolchi.
What's more, Lin Feng is similar to his character, they are both preparing for the annexation of vassal states and the great unification, and if he can destroy Northern Zhao, how can Lin Feng miss the opportunity.
However, Liu Wenlong did not know that Yan Kingdom was in civil strife, Lin Feng was caught off guard, and he was eager to find out what happened, and hundreds of thousands of troops were scattered all over Yan Kingdom.
Half a day ago, Chu Fuyan was instructed by Lin Feng to vigorously investigate the cronies arranged by the various ministries of the Yan State during the reign of Zhao Shide, especially Gyeongju and Dazhou, waiting for the state officials.
Sure enough, Chu Fuyan really gained something, at least according to the records of the officials, most of the officials in Dazhou and Gyeongju were Zhao Shide's cronies, and more importantly, Zhao Shide's family was also in Dazhou, so it was not false to be described as Zhao Shide's base camp.
After a detailed investigation, Chu Fuyan found that Dazhou alone was installed by Zhao Shide more than ten protégés and former officials, these people, and many high-powered, judging from the tax paid in Dazhou over the years, Zhao Shide's reign, there were three seasons of extremely high taxes.
Zhao Shide was demoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and during the autumn tax, the tax in Dazhou suddenly decreased a lot. Chu Fuyan is almost certain that, perhaps, from what time, Zhao Shide had a different heart.
Thinking about it, such a big thing happened, without long-term planning and deployment, it was impossible to keep it secret, let alone execute, and caused harm to Yan Guo.
