Uncle Liu was caught back, interrogated strictly, and finally admitted that he was from the Northern Desert, lurking in the capital to keep an eye on the Northern Tang Dynasty's every move, and disturb it when necessary, before he did help Hong Lie to buy medicinal materials, and the Northern Desert was most concerned about the gunpowder weapons in their military department, as long as they moved, the Northern Desert would raise the strength of the whole country to attack the Northern Tang, because once these weapons were re-introduced, the Northern Desert would definitely be swallowed by the Northern Tang.

The Northern Desert Qin family had suffered losses in the hands of these gunpowder weapons, so they were most afraid of these weapons.

Yuwen Hao entered the palace to report to Emperor Ming Yuan and proposed a war with the Northern Desert, which was inevitable.

Rather than waiting for Beimo to prepare, it is better to strike first, this is what Yu Wenhao meant.

All along, intelligence has shown that there are signs of a large-scale attack in the Northern Desert, and they continue to transport grain and grass to the border passes, if the Northern Tang Dynasty is still waiting for the pacification of southern Xinjiang before concentrating troops to deal with the Northern Desert, the odds of victory are even lower.

Emperor Ming Yuan discussed this matter in the early court, but the courtiers all believed that if they could not fight, they should not fight, especially now that the chaos in southern Xinjiang is undecided, and the treasury may not be able to withstand it at this time.

Yu Wenhao believes that even if it is not a war now, the Northern Tang Dynasty should enter a formal state of preparation, rather than waiting to see if the Northern Desert will attack.

Civilian officials are reluctant to go to war, because once the war starts, the status of the military generals will be elevated, the civil and military antagonism, the Northern Tang Dynasty has always been, and the emperor was the most serious when he dedicated the emperor, but when the emperor ascended the throne, these problems were suppressed, and there was nothing on the face, but there was an undercurrent underneath.

Up to now, many people think that it is already a peaceful and prosperous era, after all, it was only two years ago that he joined forces with the Great Zhou to repel the Su State and the Northern Desert, and the great country does not need to be so worried.

In the early dynasty, the civil and military officials argued endlessly, and Emperor Ming Yuan took control of the situation, saying that the matter would be discussed later.

After retiring from the dynasty, a group of courtiers went to the imperial study and told Emperor Ming Yuan about the situation in the country, saying that the top priority now is to do a good job of water conservancy, vigorously promote farming, revitalize the economy, and stop spending money on wars.

Some courtiers suggested that they could send envoys to the Northern Desert to discuss peace talks.

Yu Wenhao returned to the palace, summoned several confidants, and lost his temper, "What time is it now?"

Still thinking about peace talks?

People come with knives, and you go to a peace talk, that's not a peace talk, that's begging for mercy. ”

"As for water conservancy and farming, could it be that everything in the country has come to a halt after the war?

It's not that we're going to fight, but people are already ready to move, and we're still fantasizing that the other party is just putting on a posture to scare and scare us, what about playing? ”

"The King of Wei sent a letter half a month ago, saying that the Northern Desert continued to send grain and grass to the border passes, and they advanced one more than twenty miles, is it really until they set foot on the land of my Northern Tang Dynasty that the DPRK and China will prepare for war?"

"Now it's not that we have to go to war immediately, but we have to be prepared, the grain and grass weapons must be ready, send troops to the border passes, don't make unrealistic illusions, the fierceness of the Northern Desert people, we have not seen it in the Northern Tang Dynasty."

The prince rarely lost his temper so much, and for a while, the courtiers did not dare to say anything, because a few of these people present were unwilling to fight.

And more than half of these courtiers are newly promoted people, who can govern the internal and have no experience in resisting the outside, which is also the shortcoming of the newcomers, but the newcomers must have a fire, but now Yu Wenhao has not been able to see this fire in them, this morning upwards, most of the people do not recommend fighting, they think they should not fight.

Yuwen Hao saw that they were all silent, and none of them came up with an idea, so he blocked his chest in one breath, smashed the cup with one hand, and said angrily: "Disperse!" ”

"The prince is angry, and the ministers are retired!"

The crowd finally spoke.

Yuwen Haotie blushed and stared at them one by one.

Tang Yang and Xu Yi and Yuan Qingling were both outside the door, and after everyone left, Tang Yang and Xu Yi both looked at Yuan Qingling and asked her to go in first to extinguish the fire.

Yuan Qingling also rarely saw Yuwen Hao make such a big fire, she was both distressed and helpless, she pushed the door, probed in first, and smiled at him, "Master! ”

Yu Wenhao raised his head to look at her, the anger in his eyes had not faded, but the person who came was what he wanted to see, and his face was slightly pale, "Come!" ”

Yuan Qingling walked over, walked around behind him, stretched out his hand to rub his brows, and said softly: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with yourself." ”

"Are you using me as the emperor?"

Yu Wenhao closed his eyes, feeling her fingers pressing on her forehead between her eyebrows, and she was very comfortable, but she was really angry and angry, and her head ached.

"This matter is not urgent, after all, it is impossible to unify the opinions of such a big matter as mobilizing troops."

Yuan Qingling said softly.

Yu Wenhao said: "Opinions can never be unified, even if the people of the Northern Desert are all in the same city, there are some soft bones who would rather kneel down and beg for mercy than fight hard." ”

"You can't say that, maybe they don't think it's time yet."

Yu Wenhao grabbed her hand and asked her to turn around, her eyes were solemn, "We have friction with the Northern Desert all the year round, and the Northern Desert also regards us as the number one enemy, they are in the bitter cold, and they have always wanted to expand the territory and occupy the great rivers and mountains of the Northern Tang Dynasty, have their wolf ambitions been less than these years?"

The Chu Emperor of the Northern Desert is a belligerent, so is the Qin family, they are always thinking about attacking us, but if we have a fluke heart, it will be a catastrophe, back then, Prince Anfeng was afraid of them, but it was to maintain the peace of the border for nearly 20 years, in the past ten years, they are ready to move, the old state is reverting, the tribes around the Northern Desert, almost all of them have been taken in, we wait, they will only grow stronger and stronger, once they invade first, we will lose the opportunity, very passive, will be in a situation of being beaten. ”

Yuan Qingling knew that he was worried, she couldn't help, she didn't understand anything about the war, and she really wished that someone could help him.

When she thought so, Yu Wenhao sighed, "It would be good if Jing Yan was here, at least he could convince his father." ”

"Doesn't my father agree either?"

Yuan Qingling originally thought that their father and son were united, but the courtiers were opposed.

"Today's court, my father Dan Fan revealed his indignation against the Northern Desert, at least he could guide everyone to consider this aspect, but the father didn't, he probably thought that the Northern Desert was still making a small fuss like before."

Yu Wenhao said helplessly.

He pressed his temples with both hands, and said softly: "My father's vision is not long-term enough, he only focuses on the things in front of him, and does not see the threat, the country's belligerent will die, but the forgotten war will be dangerous, since the Northern Desert has moved, I have been paying attention to the border passes, and have been trying to persuade my father to send heavy troops to garrison first, but my father has not listened to half of the sentence." ”
