Chapter 1106 Reinforcements to Liangzhou
Tuyuhun actually took advantage of the situation to attack Liangzhou, which made Hua'an feel very angry, Tuyuhun in the west, the population is only hundreds of thousands, the country's soldiers are only more than 100,000, and the strength is far from the Great Jin, but because of the remote location of Tuyuhun, the strategic position is far from being compared with the Western Regions, for this reason, Hua'an ignored Tuyuhun and let Song Cheng, the assassin of Liangzhou, lead 100,000 camel cavalry to expedition to the Western Regions, but he did not expect Tuyuhun to have such a big courage to launch a surprise attack on Liangzhou of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun suddenly entered the Kou, it is a blatant provocation to my Great Jin, such a vicious act my Great Jin must not be forgiven, besides, Liangzhou is connected to the Western Regions, and its strategic position is extremely important, Tuyuhun must not be allowed to occupy Liangzhou, and his subordinates ask the king to allocate troops and horses to attack Tuyuhun and recover Xiping County." A henchman's subordinate said.
Hua An's face was angry, and he said: "Recovering Xiping County is just a trivial matter, this king wants to destroy Tuyuhun, establish Xihai Prefecture, and include all the lands under Tuyuhun's jurisdiction into the territory of the Great Jin." ”
Obviously, from this Tuyuhun into the Kou, Hua'an saw the weakness of Liangzhou, this slender passage at any time to face the threat of nomads in the north and Tuyuhun in the south, and may be captured at any time, and once Liangzhou is captured, the connection between the Great Jin and the Western Regions will be completely severed, and there is no way to talk about recovering the Western Regions, so if you want to recover the Western Regions and form a peace of mind, you must first ensure the absolute safety of the Liangzhou passage.
The land where the nomads in the north are located has been incorporated into the Anbei Protectorate to which Xie Ai belongs, and can be effectively controlled, while the threat in the south, Tuyuhun, must be eliminated as soon as possible to ensure the absolute safety of the Liangzhou passage.
When all the henchmen heard that they were going to exterminate Tuyuhun, they were all greatly excited, and after the establishment of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate one after another, their confidence was also extremely inflated, and they believed that the Great Jin Heroes could conquer all enemies and rule the entire world.
"Your Majesty, if you send troops and horses from Luoyang City to reinforce Liangzhou, it will definitely be too late, it is better to transfer troops from Shuzhong and Guanzhong, the two places are closer to Liangzhou. It can quickly stop Tuyuhun from attacking the city and plundering land in Liangzhou. One confidant suggested.
Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yizhou and Liangzhou in Shu each sent 20,000 troops, led by General Thunderstorm, and set off from Wenshan County. Attacking Tuyuhun's southern border, Yongzhou and Qinzhou in Guanzhong each allocated 20,000 troops and horses to reinforce Liangzhou to prevent Tuyuhun from expanding further, and in addition, let Song Cheng give up his attack on the Western Regions. Immediately return to Liangzhou. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will arrange it immediately." One of the henchmen answered, turned around and went to prepare.
"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is located in the plateau area of poor mountains and bad waters, if you want to destroy Tuyuhun, I am afraid that it is not an easy thing, at least the 100,000 camel cavalry in Liangzhou will not be used at all, and the reinforcements in Guanzhong and Shuzhong are limited, so they can only repel the invasion of Tuyuhun. If you want to invade its territory, there is a lot of pressure. A confidant said calmly.
When Hua An heard this, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, and he said: "Wang Meng and Xie Ai have both made great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty, and this king is bored from staying in Luoyang City all day, so it's good to go to the west to have a look." ”
"What, does the king want to personally lead the troops to exterminate Tuyuhun?" The henchmen became nervous.
Hua An said with a smile: "This king was also a general on the Weizhen side, why can't he lead the troops to battle, besides." The generals who can take charge of the court are all in the Andong Prefecture and the Anbei Prefecture, and are responsible for maintaining the newly opened territory, if the king transfers them back. I'm worried that these newly laid territories will be lost again, so let's go west in person! Just exercise to build muscles and bones. ”
"No, your king! Now that the emperor is young, he must be fully assisted by the king, if the king goes west to leave Luoyang City. Once there is a change in the court, there is no way to regret it. The henchman said worriedly.
Obviously, this subordinate was worried that after Hua An left Luoyang City, he would lose control of the imperial court, so that some ill-intentioned people would seize the opportunity and pose a mortal threat to Hua An's position.
Hua An smiled indifferently and said softly: "How can you not understand your worries that this king must still be hiding forces against this king in Luoyang City, when this king can control the government, they don't dare to do anything wrong, once this king leaves Luoyang City, they may be ready to move, and it will be unfavorable to this king." ”
"If the king understands this, why should he take the risk? Has the king forgotten the lesson of Ho Zhong? The henchman frowned and said.
Hua An thought for a moment, and said: "How can this king forget the matter of He Zhong, but if this king does not leave Luoyang City, it may never be clear how many He Zhong are hidden in Luoyang City!" After saying that, he looked into the distance.
When his henchmen heard this, they nodded approvingly, Hua An was right, if he didn't leave Luoyang City, it would never be difficult to know how many hidden opposition forces there were, and if these opposition forces were not eliminated, there would always be hidden dangers around Hua An.
"When does the king plan to go on the expedition?" The henchman asked.
Hua An thought for a while, and said: "The soldiers are fast, and five days later, this king will lead an army of 100,000 to leave Luoyang City and march towards Tuyuhun." ”
"Before the Western Expedition, the affairs of the DPRK and China must be handled properly, so as not to cause uncontrollable consequences." The henchman's subordinate admonished.
Hua An nodded and said: "This king understands that Situ Xie An is quite talented, and after this king leaves Luoyang City, he plans to let Xie An consul general assist the empress dowager in handling state affairs, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, Xie An is not a confidant, let him be in charge of government affairs, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" The henchmen spoke up against it.
Hua An smiled: "Although Xie An is not the king's henchman, but the king is willing to believe him, if he disappoints the king, with his talent, how can the king keep him, this is an opportunity for the king to give him, besides, there will be a large number of henchmen in the city, and it is impossible for anyone to take away everything that belongs to the king." ”
"The king is thoughtful, and his subordinates are really thoughtful." The henchman's subordinate replied softly.
Subsequently, Hua'an and his party immediately returned to Luoyang City and carried out relevant preparations, and a large number of henchmen were summoned into the palace by Hua'an and arranged to deploy their respective tasks.
Soon, Wang San and several other confidant generals entered the palace and met Hua'an.
"The king is in such a hurry to summon me to wait for an audience, what is the important matter?" Wang San took the lead and asked.
Hua'an handed over the Liangzhou emergency report to a few people, and said: "Tuguhun is bold and reckless, and actually took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Liangzhou army to conquer the Western Regions to launch an attack on Liangzhou, and captured more than ten cities in Xiping County. ”
"Your Majesty. The last general is willing to lead a large army to conquer Tuyuhun and recover Xiping County. After reading the Liangzhou emergency report, Wang San angrily asked for his life.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight." All the generals angrily demanded to go on the march. to defeat Tuyuhun.
Seeing that all the generals were willing to march westward, Hua An'an was very happy, and said: "Tuyuhun openly invaded the Great Jin, it is touching the tiger's whiskers, and my Great Jin must make Tuyuhun pay the price." This king decided to personally lead 100,000 troops to the west to exterminate Tuyuhun. ”
Wang San and other generals were all shocked.
"Your Majesty, it's okay to let the last general lead the troops to conquer Tuyuhun, and it's safer for the king to sit in Luoyang City." Wang San Zhengse persuaded.
"Your Majesty, let me wait for the battle!" All the generals were opposed to Hua An's personal expedition.
Hua An waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, this king has made up his mind, you will immediately go to the camp to prepare, and after five days, the 100,000 army must be ready to go." You can go out immediately. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that Hua'an insisted on this, Wang San's other generals had no choice but to take orders and immediately go to the camp to prepare.
After Wang San's generals left, Huang Fuming and other leaders of the Cong Shi also quietly entered the palace and waited for Hua An's summons in the side hall.
"Your Majesty, what is the important matter of summoning us like this?" Huang Fuming asked softly.
Hua An told him of his decision to lead an army of 100,000 to the west, and asked him and the Congshi to be in charge of monitoring the entire Luoyang City, and to report any abnormal phenomena as soon as they were discovered.
"Your Majesty. Is it really worth the risk? Huangfu Ming frowned and said.
Hua An Zhengse said: "This king has decided, you just need to do your own thing." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The subordinates and the wise men must comprehensively monitor all corners of Luoyang City, and must complete the tasks assigned by the king. Huangfu Ming Zhengse commanded.
After explaining the congruent man, Hua An immediately went to the palace, and before leaving, he had many things to tell Chu Garlic, so that Chu Garlic would know.
Because Hua'an's power is extremely powerful. For this reason, there is no need to report to enter and exit the palace, and you can even carry a sword into the harem, for this reason, Hua'an soon arrived at the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Chu Garliczi.
As soon as Hua An walked into Chu Garlic's bedroom, the palace maids turned around and left in a witty manner, and gently closed the door.
"The Empress Dowager, Wechen is here to ......"
Hua An had just saluted and was about to explain his intentions, when Chu Garlic rushed into Hua An's arms, covered Hua An's mouth, and said softly: "Don't say anything first, okay?" After speaking, he looked at Huaan with eager and expectant eyes.
Chu Garlic is naturally very empty and lonely in the palace alone, at this time when she sees Hua'an coming, she hopes that Hua'an can take good care of her, in order to soothe her loneliness and emptiness for many days, and she has little interest in what Hua'an wants to say about national affairs.
Hua An didn't have that kind of interest, but when Chu Garlic was lying in his arms and looked at him with expectant eyes, he was suddenly full of pity and cherishing jade, the Empress Dowager seemed to be high, but who could understand the loneliness in the palace alone?
At this moment, Hua An felt that it was not the empress dowager lying in his arms, but a little woman who urgently needed his pity, and the compassion in his heart suddenly swelled.
"As a courtier, Weichen should try his best to cherish the Empress Dowager." Hua An said and picked up the crook of Chu Garlic's leg and walked to the side of the pillar.
Chu Garlic's ears turned red, and he said softly: "Don't call me the Empress Dowager now, it sounds like an old woman." ”
"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, the empress dowager is the empress dowager, and the ministers dare not change the title without permission, so as not to be impeached by the imperial history." Hua An said jokingly, and began to officially cherish Chu Garlic.
**Bitter short, before you know it, the sun will set, Hua An and Chu Garlic also moved from the pillar to the table, and finally both lay on the couch.
After taking a nap, Hua An opened his eyes slightly, but was stunned to find that it was already dark, that is, he had been staying in Chu Lianzi's dormitory for at least three hours.
"Empress Dowager, it's getting late, and Weichen must leave as soon as possible." Hua An said solemnly, and got up to leave.
Seeing this, Chu Lianzi hurriedly grabbed Hua An's hands and said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't there something to discuss with the mourning family?" How in a hurry to leave. ”
Hua An patted his head and said, "Look at Weichen's memory, I almost forgot about the big thing, damn it, damn it." ”
"Say it! There is something important. Chu Garlic, who was satisfied, asked lazily.
Hua An sighed, told Chu Lianzi the news that Tuyuhun had taken advantage of the weakness to attack Liangzhou and had captured Xiping County, and said that he would lead 100,000 elite soldiers to the west to conquer Tuyuhun to solve a sharp blade inserted in Liangzhou's waist and abdomen.
Hearing that Hua'an was going to personally lead an expedition to Tuyuhun, Chu Garlic was suddenly unhappy, after all, Tuyuhun is thousands of miles away from Luoyang City, and the road is so far away that it is impossible to come back in a short time, and in this way, she will not be able to see Hua'an for months, or even years, and Chu Garlic has a sense of despair when she thinks that she will be alone in the palace for a long time.
"To the west to Tuguhun, it's enough to send a general, you don't want to go, okay." Chu Garlic said in a consultative tone.
Hua An frowned, and said: "Tuyuhun should not be underestimated, if you don't personally go west, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the generals to attack Tuyuhun, so Weichen must go in person." ”
"No, the mourning family disagrees." Chu Garlic said with a cold face.
Hua An stretched out his hand and shook Chu Garlic's slippery belly, and said: "Queen Mother, don't be rash, Weichen is also for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty and future generations, it is imperative to attack Tuyuhun, and the order for Weichen to personally go out to Tuyuhun has been issued, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it back." ”
Chu Garlic pursed her lips and said, "In this case, the mourning family has no objection, but you are not allowed to leave tonight, and you stay with the mourning family for one night, this is the condition." ”
Hua An was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Queen Mother, how can this be made, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact." ”
Obviously, Hua An felt that Chu Garlic's request was too much and was making things difficult for him.
Chu Garlic smiled indifferently, leaned close to Hua An's ear, and said softly: "The eldest husband dares to act boldly, the Northern King is powerful, are you still afraid of these?" At most, news will come out tomorrow that the King of the North and the Empress Dowager discussed the pacification of Tuyuhun, and they have been discussing with candles all night. ”
Hua An smiled and said softly: "Okay, good, Weichen obeys the order." After speaking, he closed the curtain in front of the collapse. (To be continued.) )
