The situation in Huainan was reversed, and important towns such as Hefei and Guangling were lost one after another, which made Gao Yang very dissatisfied. Among them, Li Boshan, the so-called nemesis of Qi State, was among them, and Gao Yang felt even more angry.
Naturally, it was difficult for the banquet and entertainment to continue. Gao Yang's eyes circled around the palace, but he did not see Gao Zhan's figure. Then he remembered that the boy had resigned just now. However, he did not care about this section anymore, such a difficult problem.
, it’s no longer enough to vent your anger by beating Gao Zhan again.
"Get out, everyone, get out!"
Gao Yang waved his hand to retreat to the singers and dancers in the palace with an irritated look. He looked at the anxious-looking princes and confidants present, and his mind began to wander again.
After pondering for a while, he spoke again: "Summon the King of Xianyang and others to the palace quickly to discuss matters! The Qiang thieves have provoked several times. If I don't kill their arrogance, the thieves will definitely become more rampant!"
Among the founding kings, King Shedi Qian of Zhangwu and Han Gui of Ande have all died of illness. King Peng Le of Chenliu was executed for treason. King He Baren of Anding was punished by Gao Yang not long ago and had his official position taken away from him. King Ke Zhu Hunyuan of Fufeng
Also because of the previous defeat in the battle with Li Boshan in Heluo, his reputation was greatly damaged, and he had not been in charge of the army for a long time, but his reputation and power were still preserved. The only ones left were King Hulujin of Xianyang and Pan Le, King of Hedong.
Of course, in addition to these few, there are also other famous generals and warriors among Jinyang's nobles, but their qualifications and reputation are still quite inferior to these few.
Most of the nobles lived in and outside Jinyang City, so it was more convenient for the palace envoys to disperse to invite them, and soon generals rushed to Jinyang Palace one after another.
About an hour later, as Hu Lujin also entered Jinyang Palace to see the emperor, all the important figures of Jinyang nobles were present, and it was already late at night.
It was already so late, and the emperor had to send envoys to gather everyone together. Naturally, everyone couldn't help but inquire about it. Now everyone had a certain understanding of what happened. No matter what they felt in their hearts, they all knew it now.
He has a solemn expression and a serious expression.
"The Qiang thieves are hateful. They often humiliate me. Now they come to provoke me. How should I respond?"
Gao Yang did not talk about the background of the Huainan incident first, but only brought out Li Boshan, an old enemy, to talk about the matter.
But these Jinyang nobles here are not reckless. They already knew most of the situation when they entered the palace. At this time, when they heard the emperor's questions, they all lowered their heads in deep thought and were not in a hurry to speak out.
.
Huainan is really not very attractive to them. Firstly, the combat environment is relatively unfamiliar. Both the terrain and climate are not like the north they are familiar with. Secondly, the distance is too far. Even if they fight life and death and fight bravely in Huainan,
They really couldn't find any meaning in fighting.
Seeing that no one spoke, Gao Yang's face gradually turned cold. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the case and said angrily: "In the old days, before I was in a prominent position, I have seen with my own eyes the rampant thieves. Several years have passed.
However, the stubborn thieves not only failed to subdue the law, but became even more arrogant and continued to plunder and harm our country! It is my oversight to allow the stubborn thieves so far. Taking advantage of the traitor's return, I will send the pro-union army south to conquer. It is bound to be necessary.
Kill the thieves and sacrifice the flag to secure our country!"
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some people subconsciously opened their mouths to speak, but after seeing His Majesty the Emperor's ferocious and angry face, they still lacked the courage to speak out.
However, it had been several years since the founding of the country, and they had already seen the young emperor's acting style, which was really resolute and full of energy. Others were afraid of the hard march and fighting, but he was willing to do it.
Now that they are going to attack Huainan, if they still do not dissuade them, they will definitely keep their word.
However, His Majesty the Emperor is now unstoppable. Even if He Baren, the King of Anping, was not satisfied even slightly, he was severely punished and is still working as a hard labor in Jiafang. If they want to speak out to dissuade them, they will probably draw this anger to themselves.
Come on.
So everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Xianyang King Hulujin who had been sitting silently in the banquet. Gao Yang in the palace also noticed this change, and a few cold rays of light flashed in his eyes, but still
He said calmly: "Since you and other people have no objections, let's leave it like that for the rest of the night. You go home and regroup, follow our troops to Hefei, Huainan, and defeat Li Boshan, the old enemy and thieves, in one fell swoop to comfort the old enemy."
The wounded and dead soldiers in the battle!"
Hearing that Gao Yang was about to finalize the matter, Hu Lujin, who was facing the expectations of everyone, finally stood up, bowed to Gao Yang in a respectful manner, and then said: "Please go to the request of His Majesty the army.
Either the famous king of Mobei or the hero of Guansai, they are all heroes. As for Li Boshan, he is just a stupid person who abandoned the bright and turned to the dark. Although he is a little rich man with treacherous tricks and a slight evil luck, but his background is also
It's just a pawn in Yuwen's account.
The island they live on is barren and barren, and even if it is obtained, it will not be enough to conquer the world. Even its master, Black Otter, just sits in the southeast and ignores it. How can His Majesty lead an army to conquer it in person? The southern country is weak and weak. In previous years,
Hou Jing can cause chaos by himself, and now that there is only a land filled with calamity and poisonous miasma, what qualifications do he have to be the British leader of a great country to personally conquer it?"
After hearing what Hu Lujin said, everyone nodded in agreement. In the previous expedition to Rouran, they were able to plunder some cattle, horses, livestock, and human beings. But now that they are sending troops to Huainan, they have to face such a powerful opponent like Li Boshan. Is it possible?
Is it just to pick up the remnants that Hou Jing had already eaten and touched?
"The Taishi's words are not unreasonable. If we only rely on the desolate land in Huainan, it is indeed not worth my personal conquest. But this Qiang slave Li Boshan is really hateful, and many of your disciples have suffered greatly from it. If you don't hold on to it,
If you kill him, won’t everyone in the world laugh at me for thinking that my country has no one?”
After Gao Yang heard what Hu Lujin said, he frowned and said again, still looking fierce as he wanted to put Li Boshan to death.
After seeing this, Hu Lujin sighed secretly in his heart. He was afraid that if he continued to persuade him, it might be counterproductive. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "The traitor is indeed hateful, and I would like to kill him with my own hands! But as mentioned in the preface,
As it is said, Li Boshan is just a minion of the puppet dynasty.
The hawks and dogs are originally responsible for causing nuisance, but the real hateful thing is the master behind them. Instead of going on an expedition and going deep into Huainan, it is better to go straight to Heluo and knock on the pass to scare the thieves. The old black otter took advantage of the unstable situation of our country and raised troops to harass us.
There has been no repayment so far, so now it is timely to punish him and question him for his crime!"
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor is very determined to fight, I am afraid that he cannot be dissuaded. It is better to attack Heluo than to attack Huainan. At least Heluo is closer and the battlefield environment is more familiar. There has been no systematic repair after being disturbed by Li Boshan and his army.
Defense line, take this opportunity to scare the Western Wei Dynasty.
After hearing what Hu Lujin said, Gao Yang frowned and pondered. After a while, he reluctantly nodded slightly and said: "This alternative is somewhat debatable. If you and others have any opinions, you may as well speak freely!
"
So everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and Gao Yang also put forward his opinions from time to time, and before he knew it, it was getting brighter.
After a sleepless night, many generals couldn't hide their tiredness on their faces. Old people like Hu Lujin, who is over sixty years old, although they can be said to be energetic on weekdays, they stayed up late and spent all their energy formulating battle plans.
After that, the old face looked a little pale.
However, Gao Yang was still full of energy and only briefly ended the meeting in the early morning to serve the crowd in the palace. He then continued to discuss and finalize the details of the campaign, thus dragging the meeting until noon.
After all kinds of opinions were summarized into a detailed and concrete plan that could be implemented at any time, Gao Yangcai stopped still. When he saw the tired and haggard Hu Lujin, he quickly said with concern: "Grand Master, this is
You are not in a good state. If you are suffering from any illness, do not hide it. Killing thieves can be a long-term plan, but the country must not be dishonest for one day."
After Hu Lujin heard this, he quickly cheered up and said: "Your Majesty is wise and courageous, and his governance of the country is an example. I just bow my head and accept orders. An old soldier who is respectful and diligent really does not dare to receive such a high reputation!"
Despite this, Gao Yang still ended the meeting thoughtfully and sent the palace envoy to send Hulu Jin back home to rest first. However, he continued to make plans with his confidants Tang Yong and others to recruit troops and the generals who would accompany him on the expedition.
Candidates. As for Hu Lujin, who was obviously low on energy, he was excluded from the list of expeditions.
At the beginning, Gao Yang did not think about being able to pull up the main force of Jinyang soldiers and go straight to Huainan. His original goal was Heluo. Moreover, the war goal was secondary. His real intention was to continue to establish peace and harmony during the journey through frequent battles.
Consolidate his monarch's authority and gradually dilute the influence of nobles among Jinyang soldiers.
For example, in the plan to send troops to Heluo this time, except for Hu Lujin, some other senior Jinyang nobles are not in charge of the troops. The kings of the clan are mainly the generals of the army. This is why Gao Yang wants to gradually eliminate them.
