Li Er's roar could be heard outside the Hall of the People. Pei Du, who had taken the lead, had already thrown off his saddle and dismounted his horse. He ran up the steps of the palace and loudly reported before he even entered the door: "Don't be upset, Your Majesty. This matter is left to our hands."
Just leave it to the last general. The last general will definitely massacre his city, destroy his country, and burn his ancestral temple to vent his anger.
When Yun Ye stepped into the hall, he saw Pei Du's face looking happy and winking at his group. Li Er stood behind the dragon case, holding the case with both hands, and the crown on his head was shaking violently. Just now
You must be very angry.
The so-called master humiliates his ministers to death, this is what matters at this time. More than a dozen people knelt down together and asked the emperor for an order to eliminate the fool who brought the emperor's anger.
"Your Majesty's peace, I have no worries since you are capable of conquering those who are good at fighting." Li Er asked the generals to live their lives, and his anger seemed to have subsided a little.
Yun Ye is very surprised. The current territory of the Tang Dynasty is a bit too big. Counting those Jixi prefectures that have automatically taken effect, the country to the north has crossed the Beihai. To the west is Persia, to the northeast is the various tribes, and to the southwest is Tianzhu and Tianzhu.
Tubo has no neighboring country to the south and was completely killed by Yun Ye. Across the sea is the Japanese Kingdom to the east. Only Silla and the small Baekje are left on the Korean peninsula. Who else can make Li Er so angry?
If there are any bad developments on the border, I, the head of the Ministry of War, should be the first to know. Why don't I know anything? People all over the world are avoiding Datang now. Who can do it when they are full?
The Tiger Beard of the Tang Dynasty.
"Yun Ye, do you know who the captain of the Anxi Protectorate is?" Li Er's gloomy voice rang out.
Yun Ye quickly stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, since I pacified Gaochang, the Anxi Protectorate has always been the Prince Consort Qiao Shiwang. He has been the Commander of the Anxi Protectorate for four years."
Li Er nodded and said, "How did the Merit Examination Department of the Ministry of War evaluate Qiao Shiwang?"
"Your Majesty, since Qiao Shiwang has been guarding Anxi, he has not made any progress, but he has never lost an army or humiliated the country, nor has he lost an inch of land. Therefore, the merit examination department of the Ministry of War has rated him as average."
"It's fair to say that people's livelihood is not included in the evaluation of your Ministry of War, so Qiao Shiwang's fault has nothing to do with your Ministry of War, so you can step back." Li Er was noncommittal after hearing Yun Ye's answer.
People's livelihood? Yun Ye accidentally got the word people's livelihood from Li Er's mouth. Where did Anxi's people's livelihood come from? Except for Turpan, the seat of Anxi, the rest are all in Jizhou. Although there have been students from the academy in recent years.
When they went there, their main purpose was to exploit, not to bring warmth to the people in Khotan and Qiuci. How can we talk about people's livelihood?
As long as Qiao Shiwang subdues those Jizhou Prefectures and prevents them from becoming self-reliant and ensures smooth business channels, can the people's livelihood and him be on the same side? If Lao Qiao is unlucky because of the people's livelihood issues, he will be really unlucky.
"Fang Xuanling, please explain to your dear friends what happened in the Western Regions, and let them know what our army has done in the Western Regions over the years. It would be best if they can take a lesson from you.
Fang Xuanling walked out from the left and came to the generals and said sadly: "Since the eighth year of Zhenguan when the princes gathered to pacify Gaochang, our government has continuously sent troops to Anxi. Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and Huihe have retreated one after another, and Khotan
·Qiuci, the ancient Yuezhi, Shule and Yanqi are all under the control of our dynasty. However, only four years have passed. The ancient Yuezhi have disappeared. The population of Qiuci is 400,000, and now it is less than 100,000, huddled in the
Kuqa is a place where people are complaining a lot.
The fate of the people in Khotan is slightly better, mainly because it is rich in pearls and jade, and they can survive as long as they pay heavy taxes. As for the Yanqi Kingdom, there have been six kings in four years. In addition, Loulan suddenly disappeared some time ago.
How can the general remain indifferent after hearing these things?"
"It's none of our business." When they heard that it was not an invasion by foreign enemies, a group of generals immediately lost interest. Pei Du whispered in the crowd and replied, "That's right. If the Han people are so unlucky, these people will come here with their heads in their hands."
It is inevitable to meet the king. Now that a group of savages who don't know where they are are experiencing these tragic things, it really doesn't arouse much sympathy.
Everyone gets the annual filial piety money from the Anxi Protectorate. As long as it is not a crime of losing a teacher and humiliating the country, who will care about what happened in the distant Anxi. At least Yun Ye made it clear in his letter to Qiao Shiwang.
As I said, the people from the academy went to investigate the secret of Loulan’s disappearance, not for your Anxi Protectorate, but to find out what caused the Loulan people to disappear. They had already disappeared once a few years ago, and now they have disappeared again.
It wasn't that there was any conspiracy. He had to keep an eye on the people in the academy and gave him an analysis. If these people in the academy disappeared accidentally, the trouble he Qiao Shiwang would face would not be much worse than the annihilation of the nine tribes. Everyone in the capital would be
I will not let him go, and this will always be the case regardless of whether I have anything to do with him or not.
What does the emperor want to do? He knows all these situations, and he always takes the biggest amount of money. The idea is that these money are not dedicated to the court, but to the Guanlong Li family. As the patriarch of Guanlong Li,
It's impossible for Li Er not to know that these silver coins are stained with blood. Why did Tian crazy come here today?
After hearing Pei Du's answer, Fang Xuanling chuckled and continued: "If we follow the usual practice, it is really not a big deal. I just want to ask you now, why are there so many barbarian herders in Henan? The pastures there are so common.
A hundred miles away, or even more than three hundred miles away, can you tell me whose family they belong to?"
Hetao is an important military area in Monan. The Yellow River forms a big bend here. It was called Henan in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was first called Hetao after the Yulin Great Wall was built in the Ming Dynasty. Its scope includes: the southwest of today's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the northeast of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Shaanxi Province
parts of the north.
It connects to the outside of the Great Wall in the north, Guanzhong in the south, Ganliang in the west, and Youyan in the east. It serves as the northern fence of Chang'an and the flank barrier of Yanjing.
The Hetao area has been a multi-ethnic residence since ancient times. During the Warring States Period, it belonged to Zhao. The Qin Dynasty belonged to Jiuyuan, Beidi and other counties. The Han Dynasty belonged to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Xihe and other counties. In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was the land of Qiang and Hu. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu established a country based on it, named Xia.
The Tang Dynasty belonged to Guannai Road.
The three words "Guannei Dao" are enough to explain the problem. The biggest dream of the Hu people in life is to invade Guannei Dao. But now there is no need to invade Guannei Dao. They were brought directly into Guannei Dao by those greedy people who do not know life and death.
Guannai Road can be called the front yard of the Tang Dynasty. Now there are countless beards who hate the Tang Dynasty sleeping next to the couch. No wonder Li Er will be angry. Just count them and you will know that the entire Henan land (the ancient name of Hetao) can be filled.
It would be strange if the total number of beards was less than 300,000.
"Yun Ye, how many documents have you approved for foreigners to enter the customs?" Li Er began to torture Yun Ye again, because the Yun family has a very large pasture at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
"Your Majesty, I haven't approved a single one of them. Not only have I not approved the way for barbarians to enter the pass, but I don't even want to approve the way for the Koreans to enter the capital to surrender. Your Majesty, you strictly ordered me to approve it." Yun Ye resented.
He looked at Li Er. Whenever this guy thought of something bad, he would ask if it had anything to do with him. It was as if Yun Ye himself was really a bastard who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Li Er coughed in embarrassment and continued: "It's okay if you don't. At least there is still some loyalty and respect. The Koreans surrender and the barbarians entering the pass are two different things. They cannot be confused. Now I ask you about the more than 300,000 barbarians in Henan.
How should we deal with it? Since you let me in, then give me a charter."
I was extremely unlucky. I was working hard on the farm, and suddenly I was sent to the Wanmin Palace to handle official duties. This kind of thing was the responsibility of those civil servants. How could I let the military attachés like me come up with a solution? Where were those civil servants? Why did Fang Xuanling
They closed their eyes and said nothing?
Yun Ye trembled all over. What would a warrior do? Their greatest skill is to kill people with a knife. The emperor asked the military attache for advice, didn't he just want to kill someone? Could it be that these three hundred thousand men with beards couldn't survive? They could kill them.
If he doesn't move forward and kill these beards, even if he kills them, if the two armies are fighting, Yun Ye will not have any psychological burden no matter how many beards he kills. The enemy should be eliminated. Now there are 300,000 unarmed herdsmen. Yun Ye
Ye couldn't do this yet.
After Bai Qi killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers, he was called a human massacre, and finally died a good death. If he had killed 300,000 herdsmen, God only knows what kind of cruel person Lao Yan's family would describe him as.
There is no way to deal with the situation. How can a military attache who can reach the level of a general be stupid? If it is a war, everyone will move forward bravely. Now that he wants to kill the herdsmen, it is boring. Besides, I will kill all the herdsmen myself.
, Those ranchers in Henan don’t hate themselves to death. They don’t dare to hate the emperor. All their anger will inevitably be poured out on their own heads. This will cause internal strife among the military attachés. These stupid civil servants are vicious.
It was very quiet in the main hall. Yun Ye played with his fingers and looked up at the pattern on the top of the main hall. There was even a story about Meng's mother moving three times. A large group of bats surrounded Meng's mother. Those who knew it said this was
It was an auspicious pattern, and those who didn't know it thought it was a vampire attacking Meng's mother.
After working for a whole day, Yun Ye felt a little tired and tried not to yawn. He could kill anyone he wanted, as long as he didn't do it himself. Killing was not a pleasant job.
"Why, no one is sharing my worries? Pei Du, what did you say just now? Did you forget it after just one stick of incense?" Li Er's voice became sinister again.
Pei Du's whole body immediately turned into a bitter gourd. He knelt down on one knee and apologized: "Your Majesty, if there is an invasion by outside thieves or internal thieves causing trouble, I will serve your majesty even if I am broken into pieces. However, let me kill those people."
The unarmed shepherd slave, the humble minister really can't take action, please punish him." Pei Dusi thought about it carefully and thought it would be better to refuse the emperor's request, because offending his colleagues is much more terrible than offending the emperor.
