Chapter 2164 The absence of Chang'an makes people sad
If Xiao Mohe is allowed to replace Chun Yuliang and lead Hanzhong and Bashu tribes to attack the place where the Qiang people gather, this worry will naturally be solved.
Moreover, Xiao Mohe is only leading a partial army, which is of course harmless. Anyway, the person who is tentatively presiding over the northwest battle is Pei Zilie, who has already left for Chang'an. It is impossible for Xiao Mohe to interact with his son and separatist forces as some people fear.
.
"I'm afraid Xiao Aiqing won't agree." Li Xingchen said helplessly.
The biggest obstacle for Xiao Mohe to come out of the mountain is not others, but himself.
Ever since Xiao Shilian became famous in the Han army, and finally even became a hussar general, Xiao Mohe has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding contact with the core power of the Han Dynasty. Obviously in his heart, since the Xiao family has no fight for power.
, and even the desire to form a clique to form a self-contained entity - Xiao Mohe knew very well that neither he nor the two children, Xiao Shilian and Xiao Shilue, were the kind of characters who could "conspiracy and conspiracy" in the court.
If you want to compete with others in the court, Xiao will probably be hung up and beaten.
Therefore, for the Xiao family, being a strong, trustworthy and loyal general can still leave a great name in the history. And if you want to be a reliable general, it is of course impossible for both father and son to be in the military for two generations.
In this way, others may inevitably have questions like: Is this the army of the Han Dynasty or the army of your Xiao family?
If there are more villains who cause trouble and provocation, I am afraid that the Xiao family will only be criticized and ostracized more and more. In fact, this is not bad. As long as the Xiao family has military exploits, it is actually impossible for anyone to really take advantage of it.
What about Xiao? The key is that such words are likely to touch the mutual trust between His Majesty and Xiao. If so, something big will happen.
By then, Mrs. Xiao may not even know how she died.
Therefore, Xiao Mohe insisted on taking a back seat at this age, not because his ambition was gone, but because he had no choice but to avoid arousing His Majesty's suspicion. This time Xiao Mohe chased Xiao Shilian out of the house, so what?
It's not to express your unhappiness and depression.
I was so kind as to make room for the boy, but the boy even ran up to me to show off.
Yang Su smiled and said: "The reason why Mr. Xiao disagrees is that he has worries and knots. In the past, the party disputes in Chen Guochao were often fought with swords and swords, and even directly related to life and death. Mr. Xiao has seen a lot, so naturally he must try his best to avoid it.
These. But now that the Han Dynasty has not been established for a long time, it is the time when all the generals work together to fight for the country. When the court appoints people, the rest should be put aside first. Xiao Gong’s worries have their reasons, but as long as
If we can make him understand this, everything else will be easy to talk about.”
Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile: "According to your wishes, I am going to take action myself?"
In order for Xiao Mohe to eliminate his doubts and come out again, he must have someone with enough weight. Naturally, Yang Su or any of the other high-ranking officials and famous generals are not suitable. Only Li Xingchen is the one who has enough weight in Xiao Mohe's heart.
people.
Yang Su couldn't help but look at Li Xinchen. What did His Majesty mean by these words? Was he dissatisfied or just simply curious?
I haven't heard that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the Xiaos and his son before?
Otherwise, Yang Su would never raise this matter, which would only make His Majesty unhappy.
Li Xingchen seemed a little hesitant.
Yang Su gritted his teeth and immediately handed over his hand solemnly: "Your Majesty, the situation in the northwest war is at a stalemate. Our army in the northwest has fewer troops, and most of the other troops are resting and reorganizing. Even the Zhenlin Army and Gong Han Army have been mobilized.
Wait, it is not possible to reach the northwest battlefield in one day. Therefore, the Taiwei Mansion unanimously believes that it is not possible to break the situation from Wuwei and other places. Therefore, your majesty should understand the importance of the Hanzhong battlefield and let Xiao Gong understand the importance of the Hanzhong battlefield.
Without Hanzhong, there would be no way to untie the knot in the current northwest war situation."
Li Xingchen nodded: "I know the importance of Hanzhong in my heart, and I have absolutely no intention of doubting the loyalty of Xiao's father and son. After I finish talking to Aiqing about this matter, I will immediately go to Xiao Qing's residence to express this matter to Xiao Aiqing."
Yang Su couldn't help but exhale, it seemed that he had made the right bet.
Li Xingchen probably had no prejudice against Xiao and his son. In this case, Yang Su easily sold a favor to Xiao and his son.
Although the conflicts between officials from the north and the south and between civil and military officials are not said to be getting more serious, Yang Su can still feel the antagonism between them. This antagonism is obviously not conducive to the Han Dynasty continuing to expand into the Western Regions or the Northeast.
Earthy.
As a northern official, Yang Su was actually more or less involved in this conflict and opposition. However, as the new captain of the Han Dynasty, he actually did not want to see this conflict be completely intensified and then directly affect
The Han Dynasty later expanded to other directions, so when it came to expressing goodwill to southern officials, it was also necessary to express it. Especially this time it was related to the Northwest War, and one needed to consider it from a business perspective and show his/her own
of selflessness.
Li Xingchen obviously did not intend to dwell too much on this topic, and then asked: "Now that Master Pei has arrived in Chang'an, will he go to the northwest? Otherwise, I am worried that the northwest still lacks a commander who can coordinate the various armies."
Yang Su nodded. Your Majesty sent Pei Zilie to Chang'an. It was nominally to prepare the logistics for the various armies' campaign. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that your Majesty actually made arrangements in advance for Pei Zilie to lead various troops to attack the Western Regions.
.
In this case, Pei Zilie can no longer just squat in Chang'an. In this case, he becomes the nominal commander. He should take the initiative to go forward. Even if he does not reach the front lines such as Wuwei directly, he must go to Anding or Tianshui.
It would be better to sit in a major town closer to the front line. If Tuyuhun can be defeated later, he can lead all the ministries in time to pursue them in tandem.
Of course, Li Xingchen's deeper meaning is that Pei Zilie is going to the northwest to take charge, so who will go to Chang'an to take charge?
Is it necessary for me to go there myself?
Not seeing the city of Chang'an safe and sound, not seeing the entire northwestern frontier of the Han Dynasty safe and sound, Li Xingchen felt uneasy after all.
The development of the northwest war situation is indeed unsatisfactory, and there are more and more Tuyuhun soldiers and horses. In the long run, it is destined to become a hidden danger to the northwest border defense of the Han Dynasty. Li Xingchen is naturally worried.
Although he knew that he had just returned to Luoyang not long ago, the things that he needed to worry about, including canonizing the prince and awarding meritorious officials, had almost been completed. Li Xingchen was even more worried about the situation in the northwest.
Once the northwest collapses, for the Han Dynasty, the war will continue to rage for who knows how long.
