Chapter 570: Driving back to Beijing
Whether the emperor can agree or not, I'm afraid only the emperor himself knows.
The war in Taiyuan has now entered the stage of confrontation, and Zhao Quan in Taiyuan will not be able to boost morale, on the contrary, it will only make Zhao Quan more and more dangerous.
Finally, after Zhao Quan's body recovered somewhat, the ministers began to advise, hoping that the emperor would leave Taiyuan and return to the capital to preside over the overall situation.
And at this time, Li Zhun didn't insist anymore, after the thrilling of Taiyuan, and after Zhao Quan was in a coma for more than ten days and almost died in Taiyuan, who would dare to let Zhao Quan stay on the front line now?
And...... Xiao Mo has already returned to the capital, and he just needs the emperor to go back and give Xiao Mo a reason to go out of the mountain.
Therefore, Li Zhun also worked with the ministers to advise Zhao Quan, hoping that Zhao Quan would return to Beijing.
Zhao Quan didn't want to go back, he said, "My heart...... In the world! ”
This sentence was said to Li Zhun alone, and after listening to the report of the last battle, Zhao Quan sighed.
What he sighed was naturally the defeat last time, and at the same time, he also sighed at the gap between the An Dynasty army and the Liao army. The 600,000 army against the 300,000 army of the Liao State was defeated in the end, relying on the bravery of Yang Hong and Yang Yuting in Taiyuan, as well as Di Qing's rescue at the last moment, he reluctantly fought with the Liao army to achieve the current situation.
But Zhao Quan was not reconciled, as an emperor, he suffered a humiliation that all emperors in history had not suffered, that is, to pay tribute to the Liao State and sue for peace!
Zhao Quan has been forbearance all his life, from when he was a prince to the present. As an emperor, of course, he also has ambitions, and of course he doesn't want to live a life in his twilight years.
He wants to be strong, and he ...... Zhao Quan himself knew that although Hu Zongguang sacrificed his life to save him in the end, this serious illness was ...... His own vitality was gradually drying up.
There is not much time left for Zhao Quan to play with shame! So Zhao Quan didn't want to leave Taiyuan, he said to Li Zhun: "If I raise the troops of the whole country, I don't believe that I can't defeat the Liao State!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Hearing Zhao Quan's words, Li Zhun was anxious, and he said, "Your Majesty...... How easy is it to raise the whole country's troops? Not to mention that there are rogues in the south, and Tubo in the southwest has not returned to obedience, but defeated the Liao State...... I'm afraid it won't outweigh the losses! ”
"Then in Qing's opinion, how should I deal with it?" Zhao Quan's ambition was dispelled by Li Zhun's words, so he asked weakly.
Li Zhun replied: "Your Majesty, you can only see the ministers, and it is better to raise the soldiers of the whole country than to raise one person......
"You mean Xiao Mo?" Zhao Quan shook his head, and then said: "I promised him, after the filial piety period, let him marry the princess!" ”
Li Zhun said: "The emperor is Mingjian! Ziheng has the world in his heart, and the emperor has an order, so he will definitely ......not give up."
"But you don't joke!" Zhao Quan is old after all, and after coming back from the ghost gate, he thinks a lot, one is the world, and the other is Yunxue.
He decided that he owed Yun Xue in his life, so this time he couldn't break his promise and transfer Xiao Mo out again, delaying Yun Xue's marriage.
When Li Zhun heard Zhao Quan's words, he couldn't have imagined that Zhao Quan didn't want to use Xiao Mo, which made Li Zhun so anxious that Li Zhun knelt down in front of Zhao Quan, and then persuaded: "Your Majesty...... The hundreds of thousands of troops of the White Lotus Sect were just a loach in Ziheng's hands, and they were wiped out in the blink of an eye! Even though the Liao State is strong, the minister believes that as long as Lord Xiao comes to Taiyuan, he will definitely be able to defeat the Liao State......"
Zhao Quan didn't speak, still insisting.
Li Zhun continued: "Your Majesty, the world is the emperor's world, and the minister also believes that the princess is filial piety, and she will definitely understand the emperor and Lord Xiao. What is the difference between a man who is based between heaven and earth and cannot defend his family and country, and the walking dead? This is what Lord Xiao said to the soldiers, and ...... The minister also knew that Lord Xiao couldn't wait to return to the capital from Luzhou, hoping that the emperor could let him help the emperor complete this great cause! ”
Having said that, Li Zhun has said everything he should have said, and the rest can only wait for Zhao Quan to think quietly.
Zhao Quan thought for a long time, and then asked leisurely, "You said Yunxue she...... Will you hate me? ”
Li Zhun saw that Zhao Quan seemed to be relieved, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the princess is the most filial piety, and besides, the royal matter is also the princess's business, why hate it?" ”
Hearing Li Zhun's words, Zhao Quan slowly closed his eyes, and then waved his hand to signal Li Zhun to retreat.
Li Zhun couldn't see what Zhao Quan was thinking, so he had to return to the barracks sullenly.
For this reason, Li Zhun was so worried that he couldn't sleep well all night, and he didn't wake up until noon the next day, but he received Zhao Quan's holy decree, saying that at least he would return to Beijing!
When Li Zhun heard this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to strictly guard the Xinzhou camp, and then he rushed to Taiyuan to see off Zhao Quan.
In the capital in early summer, the sun is shining.
On the road to the east of the capital, a pair of soldiers and horses are slowly moving westward.
The first two people, a man and a woman, each holding a weapon, after a journey, the man said to the woman: "General Hu, congratulations to General Ling Gao, guarding Shandong!" This time, the imperial court transferred you and me back to Beijing, but I am afraid that the day when we will meet the adults is not far away......"
The female general is Hu Sanniang, and the man is Lu Zuo, hearing Lu Zuo's words, Hu Sanniang said: "How about he is still a general like that......" Hu Sanniang didn't seem to be very interested in his younger brother, and then talked about Xiao Mo's body: "General Lu, this time we are transferred back to Beijing, is it what Lord Xiao means?" ”
Lu Zuo shook his head, and then said, "To be honest, I don't know much about it...... I just heard that the Ruan Xiaoqi Ruan brothers, who followed Master Xiao with me, died on the battlefield ......",
Hu Sanniang had also seen Ruan Xiaoqi, and knew that Ruan Xiaoqi, Lu Zuo, and Yang Hong were all Xiao Mo's guards, but now they had all become generals, so she said to Lu Zuo: "General Lu, please mourn ......"
Lu Zuo didn't look too sad, he said to Hu Sanniang: "Master Xiao said, drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, come back to fight a few people in ancient times!" War is cruel, and Lu has long taken life and death lightly...... Shichiro He can die on the battlefield, this is his destiny, how can he say that he mourns? ”
Lu Zuo is known for his resourcefulness, and he is also literary when he speaks, which makes Hu Sanniang a little disgusted, Hu Sanniang is a real female man, and she likes to speak straight, which has a certain relationship with her bandit background.
But for Lu Zuo's resourcefulness, Hu Sanniang still admires it! In the past, there was Xiao Mo in Shandong, and it was not Lu Zuo's turn to give advice, but later after Xiao Mo left Shandong, he pacified the White Lotus Sect army in northern Lubei, and Lu Zuo was a military advisor, and his wisdom was completely reflected.
