On the top of the main hall, Chen Kefu was full of loyalty and ministers, and he was bent on avenging the first emperor. Later, the little emperor suddenly stood up again, not only resolutely agreed with Chen Kefu's plan to destroy the Tang Dynasty, but also recognized Chen Kefu as his father. This time, the Son of Heaven and the prime minister who leads all political affairs will crusade against Li Yuan, and who dares to propose to say a word.

However, although the emperor and the prime minister want to attack the Tang Dynasty, there are always people who speak the opposite tune.

The crown prince Pei Shiju had been watching coldly just now, and when he saw that even the Son of Heaven had already respected Chen Kefu as his father, he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood. I think he is dedicated to the Great Sui, running around for the Yang family's royal family, and has made many envoys to the Western Regions and grasslands to plan for the country. But in the end, it made a rebellious minister become a father, and a truly loyal minister like him became an ornament, which made him endure it.

"Your Majesty." After Pei Shiju finished speaking, he immediately said: "The minister thinks that his desire is invincible, and he is not in danger in Germany." ”

"No, the time and place are favorable, the virtuous are harmonious, and the dangerous are in the right place, and the two are not biased." Mao Yi said indifferently.

"The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. Therefore, it is said that there is no danger in Germany. If the Son of Heaven is diligent in cultivating virtue and politics, who dares to commit a minor offense? ”

"No, the place of shape is victorious, and the soldiers must fight. If it is said that there is no danger in Germany, this Song Xianggong is defeated and died. Mrs. Pei is good at historical facts, don't you know? The kings of the past dynasties have all had tangible victories. As far as this dynasty is concerned, the first emperor can not be said to be unknown, the former Goguryeo and the Eastern Turks are ready to move, His Majesty took the initiative to attack Goryeo, in order to prevent future troubles. However, the people toiled and transported, the soldiers fought in foreign countries, and the dead were tens of thousands. Three expeditions to Liao. The surname caused chaos in various parts of the Central Plains, and today the world is seven points. Officials from all over the country have claimed that the king is the emperor, and they support their own troops. The people of the Quartet, the landlords. They also gathered in the mountains and forests, and gathered the people as bandits, so that the lives of the world were devastated, and the people were in the midst of fire and water. And so on. It is not caused by the lack of danger of my Great Sui, but by the loss of morality of my Great Sui. Therefore, the ministers did not agree with His Majesty's words, although Li Yuan and others were rebels who killed the king, but at this time, they blindly only wanted to avenge this, but they did not care about the world, which was not what a wise king should do. Current events. Although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, if it is seven points today, except for the Jiangnan puppet dynasty, there are five emperors and nephews who are called emperors. ”

Pei Shiju didn't care about everyone's reaction at this time. has been aggrieved in the Liaodong Army for so long, he just wants to vent the grievances that have been suppressed in his heart for a long time. Chen Kefu said that he wanted to cut down the Tang Dynasty, but he wanted to sing the opposite.

"Your Majesty, although you will go to Hedong to crusade against Li Wei, it is a big deal to avenge your Majesty for this national revenge. But now in current affairs, His Majesty's first priority should be to regain the mountains and rivers of the Great Sui, unify the Central Plains, and destroy all parties to stand on their own and oppose the king as the most urgent task. As long as the unification of Emperor Wen is re-unified, the Great Sui is unified. This is the true filial piety of His Majesty. If it's just to avenge this revenge for a while, it's quick for a while. However, he ignored the great cause of his ancestors and missed the great opportunity to unify Hebei and pacify the world at this time. That's the biggest unfilial piety. ”

Although Pei Shiju was against Chen Kefu, Pei Shiju had been with Yang Guang for many years, and he was also the first-class foreign minister of the Great Sui. Even most of the foreign strategies during the Great Sui Dynasty were made by him, so the opposition at this time was also said to be sound and reasonable.

When Pei Shiju said that he was excited, he simply laughed out loud in the hall, "Hasn't the prime minister read history?" Don't you know that most of the dynasties that have died have not died at the hands of foreign enemies, but because of the lack of morality and politics, and as for the rebellions? When I thought about the time of Emperor Chuwen, although the dynasty repeatedly fought with foreign peoples, and fought every year, it created a prosperous era of the emperor, why? After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he made a big move, moved the capital, built canals, and conquered the Quartet. In just a few years, the canal was built, the eastern capital was moved, and even the surrounding departments were also beaten and surrendered. But at the end of the day? The people rebelled, and the nobles of the family were separated. This led to those ambitious ministers who supported the army and respected themselves, and even killed the king like Li Yuan. Saying that, Pei Shiju also glanced at Chen Kefu coldly with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you going to follow the example of the previous emperor again? Now we are in Beijing, and even the western and eastern capitals of the Great Sui have fallen into his hands. At this time, it is not busy to go around to conquer, but to start resuming production and appeasing the localities. As long as the people under our rule are stable and internally stable, we can send troops to fight against rebellion everywhere. At present, the only people in the imperial court are Liaodong and northern Hebei. Liaodong is bitterly cold, self-sufficiency is still reluctant, and the land of Hebei is in ruins everywhere after a long war. In this way, if we are in a hurry to conquer now, it will be inevitable that the land of Liaodong and Hebei will be like a great cause for seven years, and the external strife has not been settled, and the internal strife has broken out again. At that time, I am afraid that even this small foundation of Liaodong Hebei will be lost. ”…,

After Pei Shiju finished speaking, the hall was silent, although the generals from the Liaodong Army in the hall did not have a good impression of this Pei Shiju, but they also felt that what he said made some sense. And Wenchen, such as Fang Xuanling and others, nodded even more incredibly.

For military generals, they only need to make some strategic plans, and then send troops to fight on the battlefield. All life and death are in the hands of one's own hands. They are fighting a real, imminent battle.

And for Fang Xuanling and other ministers, in the current war years, all their plans and affairs must be carried out around the war. The combat strength of the Liaodong Army is unparalleled in the world, since leaving Liaodong and entering Hebei, although there are also two defeats in the middle, but it does not have much impact. The Liaodong Army has more and more soldiers and horses, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the people under its rule are also increasing.

At the time of Liaodong, because of Chen Kefu's early planning in the early years, the Liaodong army captured Goguryeo, plundered the surrounding tribes, attacked the Turks and other spoils of war. In addition, through trading with merchants from all over the world, he exchanged a lot of food materials by using the spoils of Liaodong and various new and strange output commodities of Liaodong. In addition, in recent years, there has been a large amount of reclamation in Liaodong, and there is no disaster year, although the output is not much, but there is also a small accumulation. Therefore, when they were in Liaodong, they maintained more than enough measures in Liaodong, the army strategy was high, and the local people had no influence.

However, since the army entered Hebei, up to now, the Liaodong Army has occupied ten of the eighteen counties in Hebei. The number of troops also more than doubled after the surrender of the Hebei Army and some local peasant armies. In addition, nearly 100,000 troops from the Khitan, Silla and other three countries are still employed, and this person eats horses and chews, and the cost of inviting them to send troops is really like a huge hole, which cannot be filled no matter how much it is filled.

These are not the most headaches for Fang Xuanling, the real headache is the land of the ten counties of Hebei. It is now winter, and the harvest and planting season has passed, but the ten counties of Hebei that have been captured not only did not get any spoils, but instead got ten counties full of scorched earth.

Everywhere there are broken walls and ruins. The displaced people who gathered to appease were all hungry and only had one skin left, and the people of the ten counties basically had few people who could still stay in the township. Years of rebellion and conquest have left Hebei in ruins, full of wandering hungry people.

Seven years ago, there were three or four million people on the fertile land of Hebei. After years of fighting, the population has lost four-tenths, and now there are still more than two million people in Hebei. Now these two million people, everyone is waiting for the imperial court to send porridge and soup on time every day. Seeing that the cold winter is coming, these homeless people have no houses, no warm clothes, and everything is waiting for the imperial court.

The various ministries of the imperial court have long been overwhelmed by this huge burden, and everyone understands it. More than 2 million people, only then can not continue to provide food, can not help him survive the winter, these people who have been wild for several years, maybe turn around and turn into two million chaotic people, plundering Hebei.

In the past year, the Liaodong Army fought everywhere, went deep into the steppe to fight the Turks, and waved its army into Hebei. Not long ago, he marched south, defeated Dou Jiande, and won three counties, but it was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of more displaced people.

Just now, the imperial court approved to send troops south to Shandong and mobilize the Hailong Guard Water Division to support Jiangdu. In this series of actions, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and grain had to be transported to Jiangdu, thousands of miles away, and the consumption on this road was greater than the needs of the soldiers.

Li Jing's department has 50,000 horses, Hailongwei's 120,000 horses, Qu Tutong's department has 30,000 horses, Chen Ling's department has 50,000 horses, and nearly 100,000 people in Jiangdu City. This adds up to more than 300,000 mouths, as well as the huge war equipment consumption and supplies, all of which add up to the heavy pressure on the officials of the new imperial court in Beijing.

Liaodong has reached its limit, although the current situation should continue to send troops, but there is not enough food and grass, not enough equipment, how to support a big battle? If you continue to fight, I am afraid that from Hebei to Liaodong, from the general to the emperor, everyone will have nothing to eat.

Just now they heard that Chen Kefu was going to beat Li Yuan again, although they were also holding their breath in their hearts, they still remembered the hatred of being betrayed by the Li family father and son in Luoyang and being robbed and killed. But the imperial court really couldn't afford to fight several armies at the same time.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

But Mao Xi, Fang Xuanling and other civil servants are already clever women, and it is difficult for them to cook without rice.

Attacking Hedong from Hebei, it was a big battle of distance. The army had to cross the high and dangerous Taihang Mountains and fight for thousands of miles. Logistics supply is an extremely difficult thing, Pei Shiju didn't jump out to oppose it first, they had to stand up and oppose it politely.

Now at the beginning of Pei Shiju, Mao Xi, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials echoed it, and they all stood up, opposing Chen Kefu's plan to send troops to attack Li Tang and avenge his betrayal in the past.

Many young generals in the palace stepped forward to argue, but these brave generals are good at the battlefield, but they really want to fight, but no one can say anything about these scholars who are full of poetry and books.

Chen Kefu stood quietly in the hall, frowning and pondering
