Chapter 928

Regarding Li Xuan's attitude of sweeping everyone with one stroke, Duan Shaojun could only roll his eyes, after all, it can't be said that none of those ministers are good. "Don't forget, your father-in-law is also a dignitary, and he is also the leader of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Li Xuan turned his head and glanced at it with a weak heart, fortunately, his pot-bellied mother-in-law was chatting with Xu Xiangjun and Gongsun Su Su over there, and she didn't pay attention to the conversation here.

"Brother Tai bothered you to pay attention to your next speech, it's okay, it will make my little brother startled, is it interesting?" Li Xuan patted his heart with palpitations, and glared at Duan Shaojun with great resentment.

Duan Shaojun glanced at this thing contemptuously, and said disapprovingly. "Don't talk nonsense, it's obviously your own nonsense, it's my business, if I hadn't reminded you, maybe you'd have to jump up and say some nonsense after a while."

"Ahem, what kind of brother, keep talking about business, don't keep talking about those useless things." Li Xuan's old face flushed, this product is still a little shameful, unlike Xuanzhen Daoist's goods, not to mention blushing, he didn't know that he was thrown into that hole to pad the pit more than 100 years ago.

"Seriously, in fact, haven't you seen it, if we need soldiers and horses, it is equivalent to agreeing to their conditions, and after your eldest niece waives this south, she will defeat Cao Hu'er's traitor, and then ascend the throne as emperor in the imperial capital." Duan Shaojun said with a melancholy face.

"What's this, it's better to be the emperor here, it's really better to be the emperor in the imperial capital, after all, that is where the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty is located. Hey...... So before that, can't my eldest niece be called Your Majesty? Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Duan Shaojun nodded. "Isn't that nonsense? The persuasion ceremony only represents that Youwen is willing to accept our persuasion, but she must be enthroned before she can truly become the empress of the Tang Dynasty. If it drags on, who knows what will happen. ”

"Then you mean, the enthronement ceremony continues?" Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice to Duan Shaojun.

"Yes, I would like to, but if the problem is like this, it is very likely to anger those dignitaries and nobles in the Beijing Division, even if they delay sending troops for one more day, it is equivalent to giving Cao Hu'er one more day of opportunity to expand the army." Duan Shaojun's real headache lies in this.

In the past few days, Qihu has been in all directions, first the prince of Tukun, who had leveled the Western Regions, returned to Totuohai, and then waved his army south, directly took the three counties of Hetao, and seized Cao Hu'er's base area, and Cao Hu'er's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind retreated without a fight.

And after Tukun ordered the three counties of Hetao, he stopped again and put on an unintentional posture. And watched the 20,000 Cao enemies retreat. After that, the eldest princes who had been fighting against those foreign races who did not obey the rule of the Khithu also began to move south and rushed to the Golden Horde.

And the ninth prince Rahan, who was originally put under house arrest by Moli Khan, was also released, and now, he is free to gather his subordinates. In the area of the Golden Horde alone, there were 100,000 people who controlled the strings.

In other words, the internal disputes within the Tang Empire, which has always regarded the Tang Empire as a fierce rival, and peeped into the prosperous Central Plains, how can Qihu not take it to heart? Although that Moli Khan is so old, he already seems a little powerless, but the problem is that when the Tang Empire in the south is in decline or turbulent, it has gradually grown and expanded over the years, and has begun to set foot in the Western Regions and Liaodong, and it is impossible for Qihu, who is competing with the Tang Empire, to let go of such a good opportunity.

Although Duan Shaojun was prepared from the beginning, as early as when there was turmoil in Beijing and the Son of Heaven was poisoned, Duan Shaojun had already taken into account Li Youwen's feelings for the Son of Heaven, and he would definitely not stand idly by, and would definitely go south to the rescue.

Therefore, Duan Dagongzi has always paid attention to the training and military preparation of Yunzhou's state soldiers and county soldiers, and after that, Duan Shaojun has always wanted Li Youwen to leave too early, so that Yunzhou's state soldiers and county soldiers will leave before the training is enough, in that way, Yunzhou will really become a place where the Qihu people come freely, and hundreds of thousands of Yunzhou people will have a good life for a few years, but they will fall into misery again.

It is with such feelings of worrying about the country and the people that Duan Shaojun will think of persuading Li Youwen to be the emperor in Yunzhou, and then vigorously win over the surrounding states and counties, when Li Youwen becomes Her Majesty, her orders and wills will at least affect the surrounding states and counties, so that after Li Youwen moves south, she can let several states and counties in the northern border carry out joint garrisons, so as not to fall into the embarrassment of fighting separately.

However, as the movements of the Qihu people became more and more obvious, this also made Duan Shaojun's heart more and more melancholy, 15,000 state soldiers and county soldiers, maybe there were 100,000 elite Qihu barbarians on the other side, even if those nomads were no longer good at attacking cities, the gap of nearly ten times the strength of the troops, with the city defense of Yunzhou, even if the 15,000 state soldiers and soldiers were all cowering in Yunzhou City, I am afraid that it would be difficult to resist.

What's more, there are five counties and eighteen counties in Yunzhou, can those places be left to the Qihu people to be plundered and burned? At that time, even if one Yunzhou City is saved, the entire Yunzhou will be destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people, how many can survive such a disaster?

Even if someone survives, how can they survive when faced with a homeland that has been destroyed by the Khu?

It was hundreds of thousands of fresh lives, and it was precisely for this reason that Li Youwen had been holding back, not going south at the first time, but delaying it again and again. Her heart is also very entangled, on the one hand, she loves her grandfather, and on the other hand, she is hundreds of thousands of Yunzhou fathers.

And if it is said that an elite division can be transferred from the imperial capital, not to mention a whole number of guards and horses, even if 10,000 elites can be transferred, then at least Yunzhou will be able to protect most of the population and towns if they can provide some support from the surrounding states and counties.

This is the most joyful but also the most painful place for Duan Shaojun at the moment, if he wants to let the other party come over, then, Li Youwen has to postpone his accession to the throne as Her Majesty the Empress, and not ascend the throne, so naturally there will be less righteousness, in the absence of righteousness, how long can the apparent peace of the Tang Empire be maintained?

Those civil and military officials who are still loyal to the court, as well as millions of elite divisions, will naturally have their own opinions and ideas on where to go. However, Duan Shaojun is now far behind Yunzhou, and there is no way to go to the Jingshi Tongue War Group like Zhuge Liang, and pk all those things that are not eye-opening.

So now I am very depressed, the soldiers and horses are coming, which is naturally a good thing, but if Li Youwen does not ascend the throne, it will increase the great danger to the Tang Empire. However, these dangers, those Jingshi civil and military people are not without understanding, but there will always be people who can't see it because of some interests, or in their eyes, the promotion of the small people is not worth mentioning.

"Brother Tai wants to take care of the hearts of all the people, and the younger brother admires it very much, but those officials in the imperial capital, I'm afraid they didn't think about this layer at all, and what they did was just their petty profits." After understanding Duan Shaojun's worries, Li Xuan looked at him

Solemnly bowed to Duan Shaojun and saluted.

"Alas, in this matter, if the wishes of the officials of the imperial capital are fulfilled, I really don't know how many Shengdou people will suffer from the war, but if the wishes of those guys are not fulfilled, whether these soldiers and horses can come, this has to be said...... It's hard! Duan Shaojun rubbed his chin and began to think carefully.

"What then? I said brother, brother, I know that you have always been resourceful, and you will definitely be able to find a way to solve this problem. Although Li Xuan is very homely and a little shameless, the name of benevolence is really not blown, at least after hearing Duan Shaojun's words, his expression is also very worried.

"Don't be a sycophant, this matter is too big, if you want to figure out a way, it will not be easy." Duan Shaojun let out a long sigh of bitterness, slanted the corner of his eyes and glanced at Li Xuan's kid covertly, and saw that this kid was looking at him expectantly.

"Well, you have to think about it, maybe there is a way to say that it is not necessarily." Seeing that Li Xuan's kid was hooked, Duan Dagongzi continued to put on a posture of worrying about the country and the people. And in his heart, he was thinking about how to make Li Xuan, a kid, stand up willingly to block the knife and be a scapegoat for Li Youwen.
