"More than four years ago, tens of thousands of people from the Yan tribe moved south of the river to Huanghuang to avoid the enemy. However, the journey south was too difficult, and the Yan tribe was repeatedly entangled and intercepted by Tibetan soldiers. Although they severely damaged the monk soldiers of Buqu Temple at the foot of Shenyu Mountain, they
, but in the end due to too many casualties, they had to turn eastward and arrived at Dajianlu, which is separated from Jiazhou in Qionglai Mountain, for a temporary stay two years ago. At that time, the imperial court wanted to take over some land to enrich the border area, so Honglu Temple
Zhu Zhi, the eldest son of Duke Zhu, was transferred to Lizhou. He spent two years building Sihu City in the south of Qionglai Mountain and opening the Qionglai Mountain Road, which finally enabled the Yan tribe to communicate with me, Dayue..."
Zhu Hang learned that Jingxiang had received the help of nearly 10,000 Khitan cavalry, successfully destroyed the Chihu people's floating ferry at the mouth of the Peishui River, and surrounded nearly 40,000 captive troops on the south bank. He vaguely guessed that Zhu Zhi was exiled to Lizhou in the south of Qionglai Mountain.
It was the arrangement of Jingxiang. When he came to the Chui Gong Hall and listened to Dong Cheng slowly talking about the ins and outs of the Khitan reinforcements, dozens of looks of surprise, shock, and hatred came to him, but Zhu Hang still felt like that in his heart.
A mixture of flavors.
Can he stand up and say humbly that Quanzi has done some work or has some minor achievements, but they are not worth mentioning?
Emperor Shaolong couldn't control the anger in his heart, and he didn't need Wang Boqian, Wei Chujun and others to come forward. He grabbed the chopping board with exposed veins and stared at Dong Cheng angrily.
,question:
"Why is it that there is no report from Jingxiang to such an important matter? Does the imperial court still exist in the eyes of everyone in Jingxiang?"
"Does Your Majesty not know about this at all?" Dong Cheng asked calmly and doubtfully, "about the Yan tribe's march south, Jingxiang and Xiang had reported to the court more than ten times to ask the imperial court to mediate so that Dali would accept the Yan tribe.
Everyone should have a case to investigate when they enter the memorial hall. If Your Majesty doesn’t know about it at all, is there something wrong somewhere?"
Zhou He, who had been bedridden for four months and kept begging for his body, finally appeared in the Chui Gong Hall today. He had a childish face, fair hair, and a rosy complexion. He looked more energetic than Emperor Shaolong, and he was as powerful as a dragon and a tiger.
He stood up and said in a loud voice:
"The old minister remembers this matter, and the memorials of Pingliang Gong were also submitted to His Majesty through the Political Affairs Hall for presentation. Perhaps His Majesty thought that the matter was too trivial to mention, so he never mentioned the matter of sending envoys to Dali. Perhaps.
Duke Pingliang considered that His Majesty had no intention of worrying about such trivial matters, so he did not dare to disturb him any more; the old ministers mistakenly thought that His Majesty was asking Jing and Xiang to let go..."
Emperor Shaolong did not grab the inkstone on the imperial case and hit the old man Zhou He's shameless face hard. He was considered a good-tempered emperor among all the emperors in the past.
Zhou He ignored the fact that Emperor Shaolong's brows twitched slightly when he suppressed his anger, and he pretended to complain to Dong Cheng: "Lizhou Sihu Zhu Zhi went to Lizhou for two years, built Sihu City, opened the Qionglai Mountain Road, and opened the Qionglai Mountain Road in Beijing.
Xiang didn’t even come up to ask for credit for him, it’s still a bit neglectful!”
"Prime Minister Zhou has taught me a lesson. Everything in Beijing and Xiangzhou is busy and complicated, and there are indeed many inappropriate and incomplete thoughts. After the war, I will definitely come up to Zhu Zhi to ask for credit." Dong Cheng agreed very humbly.
"When the Great Violence was in danger, the Yan tribe sent out all their strength to help. They are indeed loyal and brave troops. Your Majesty should reward them!" Zhou He bowed to Emperor Shaolong again.
The matter of Beijing and Xiang deceiving the imperial court and concealing the remnants of Khitan was discussed by Zhou He in a serious way, but now it was discussed seriously with Zhu
Zhi and the remaining Khitan tribe came to discuss their merits.
Emperor Shaolong was so angry that his chest ached with pain.
Others in the palace were shocked by the events such as the Yan tribe's occupation of the arrow furnace, Zhu Zhi's repair of Sihu City, and the opening of the Qionglai Mountain Road.
Even the Gao family, who was very close to Xishu, was completely unaware of this matter. Jianye was three or four thousand miles away and was completely kept in the dark. It was not an unacceptable thing.
Apart from secretly looking at Zhu Hang's thick-browed guys and secretly expressing their admiration, what else can they say? At this time, accusing the Zhu family seems to be loyal and traitorous, but in fact, his mother and Jing Xiang have used the same fig leaf to accuse Zhu Hang of this.
He cut off all contact with his brother-in-law Wang Fan in Beijing for several years. How well did he perform this role?
"But I don't know which general is leading the Yan tribe's reinforcements?"
Gao Chunnian stood up, cupped his hands towards Dong Cheng and said,
"The loyalty of the Yan tribe is commendable, but the imperial court still does not know who the commander-in-chief of the Yan cavalry is at this time. No matter how busy the affairs of Beijing and Xiangyang are, these details must not be left out, otherwise the Yan tribe will mistakenly think that the imperial court is deliberately neglecting them, and their loyalty will be chilled.
The heart is not that good-looking..."
After Ge Boyi put forward the policy of "submitting the enemy without fighting", although Gao Chunnian did not fall back in a hurry, he was not as determined as Zhou He to stay ill in the house for several months without going to court.
He originally thought that the situation might be reversed, so he could just stay in the DPRK and wait and see.
Gao Chunnian didn't expect that he would miss Zhou He after all. It's no wonder that after all these years, he would always be firmly suppressed by Zhou He, an old man.
Gao Chunnian stood up and spoke at this time. Regardless of whether it was of no use, he tried his best to remedy the situation.
"What Prime Minister Gao said is true," Dong Cheng said politely, "This time the Yan tribe's cavalry reinforcements were personally led by the late emperor who conferred the title of Princess Yanhan, and the deputy general was Sa Luhe, the former Qinzhou Zuo Xiaowei..."
Wei Chujun and Wang Boqian sat in the hall looking at each other, their hearts full of mixed feelings, or perhaps the mixed feelings were not enough to describe their feelings.
As for the Khitan cavalry support, if they had to face this cruel reality, they would prefer that the Khitan people traveled thousands of miles to pass through the Dali Kingdom in pieces, spending a year or even more to get there.
Arrive in the Central Plains.
What is the significance of opening the Qionglai Mountain Road?
Could it be that after the war is over, this cavalry will return to the arrow furnace, and Xu Huai can call them in again at any time when he needs it?
Has Lizhou, located in the south of Qionglai Mountain and the western foothills of Qionglai Mountain, become another enclave of Beijing and Xiangzhou?
Perhaps the only good news is that the Gao family, which has always regarded Xishu as its own back garden and has always intended to annex the Yan tribe. It has caused ugly troubles. It is unlikely that the Gao family will be happy to see their back garden secretly opened up by Jingxiang.
A mouthful?
Of course, the Gao family is far away on Xiqin Road, and it would take two or three months for a messenger to go back and forth. No matter how great the Gao family's response to Qionglai Mountain Road is, it cannot solve their immediate urgent needs. Although Gao Juntang was appointed as Jinghu North Road at this time,
The troops and horses were deployed, but his appointment was made by the imperial court and recognized by the local government. It does not mean that the troops and horses on Jinghu North Road are really only Gao Juntang's leader. The key lies in the attitude of people like Kong Changyu.
However, it can be seen from the attitudes of Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others in front of the palace that Wei Chujun did not think there was anything wrong with anyone who would dare to stand up and openly accuse Xu Huai of tearing up the peace agreement and brazenly sending troops to raid the south bank soldiers at this time.
Just as the theory of "subduing the enemy without fighting" has long been recognized by military strategists, the theory of "soldiers never tire of deceit" is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Furthermore, in order to gain broader support from the DPRK and China, from the beginning to the end, they never dared to say that urging the enemy to withdraw their troops was a "peace agreement". They even kept stating that urging the enemy to withdraw their troops was an expedient measure.
Wei Chujun also knew very well that even if a larger-scale court meeting was held, the result would not be changed.
The final decision on whether to tear up the "peace agreement" depends on whether you have the qualifications to do so, and what kind of results tearing up the "peace agreement" can bring, but it is never bullshit morality or bullshit integrity.
As long as they are qualified to tear up the "peace agreement", as long as tearing up the "peace agreement" can bring good results instead of worsening the situation, even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and Beijing are displeased with it, they will hold their noses and say "yes" at this time.
Who???????????????If anyone mentions the morality of the court or the integrity of the court in this matter, Liu Yan will probably be the first to stand up and draw a sword to kill him for Jingxiang.
Damn it.
The Jingyuan Army with the Xiao Sheng Army as the main force was destroyed in Yunzhou during the Northern Expedition against Yan. Hundreds of Liu family's children, including Liu Yan's father and brother, were buried in Yunshuo. It all depended on the Chihu people saying "
"Integrity" and "morality"!
Wei Chujun already knew at this time that while Jingsheng's army was moving north from Longshu River, Liu Yan and Yang Qiye, in addition to leaving an elite force to garrison Quanjiao and other cities, also led the main force of Xiaosheng's army to leave the camp.
However, Liu Yan and Yang Qiye did not take the road through Hefei and go around Jiangjun Mountain. Instead, they went directly out of Qingliu Pass between Zhangbaling and Fucha Mountain, headed northwest, and stopped by the Dongfei River.
To put it bluntly, the left and right Xiao Shengjun urgently built a bridge across the Dongfei River and headed for the Shaopi North Camp in the south of Shouchun.
Behind this may be the secret collusion between Liu Yan and Xu Huai for many years, but it is undeniable that Liu Yan hates and rejects the matter of "peace negotiation".
Maybe people will not express their inner dissatisfaction easily, but if they really do, it will be difficult to have a chance to recover.
"Now is no longer the time to scrutinize the minutiae of what is and is not. The top priority is that your Majesty should immediately issue an edict to Duke Pingliang to take charge of all the troops in the world in order to annihilate all the remaining captives on the south bank of the Huaihe River. He will be rewarded for his merits and will wait until Duke Pingliang returns with another great victory.
It’s not too late to warm up the wine and elaborate on it at court!” Zhou He asked.
Xu Huai previously served as deputy privy envoy and also led all the troops and horses to recruit envoys from King Qin. His control power was limited to dispatching troops and horses participating in the Huaixi Campaign. Han Shiliang and Ge Yu's troops were besieged in Shouchun at that time. The control power did not include Han Shiliang.
Ge Yu's troops are all vague.
At this time, Zhou He proposed to grant Xu Huaiti the power to control the world's troops and horses. Not only did he want to eliminate this layer of ambiguity, but also included the Huaidong Army, including whether the Huaixi Army had been dispatched to Huaixi. The control power
All were temporarily granted to Xu Huai.
"The fighting opportunity is fleeting, please make a quick decision, Your Majesty!" Gao Chunnian, Wang Fan, Dong Cheng and others also advised him.
