If the war in the northwest spreads and even spreads to Guanzhong, it means that the various state capitals, which have just begun to turn their attention to society and people's livelihood, will have to make another effort to support the war in the northwest and may even spread to Guanzhong. And once the war burns to Guanzhong,
That is to say, the fire reached the gate of Luoyang, which also dealt a huge blow to the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
This is the last thing the newly established Dahan wants to see, but once it happens, it will be inevitable.
It is conceivable that at that time, some people will definitely say, you all look at it, this Han Majesty is indeed majestic in his domestic campaigns and suppressing the four parties, but a previously unknown country randomly popping out of the northwest can defeat the Han Dynasty.
We continued to fight, and even fought all the way to a place not far from the capital. Is such a majesty and such a dynasty really worthy of our trust and peace of mind in working for it?
Li Xingchen was not arrogant enough to think that under his governance, everyone would obey orders and be loyal.
There are so many people in the ranks of the Han Dynasty, and unless a few people with brain problems pop up, do they really think they are living in paradise?
It's just that for these few people, Li Xingchen can use force to prevent them from speaking rashly - at worst, it's okay to go to literary prison once in a while. Sometimes Li Xingchen doesn't know what kind of rumors are spreading when he looks at them. Really
I have the urge to kill all these rumormongers. Of course, even if I really want to come to Literary Prison, the evidence must be solid.
If a person really has objections to the court's current political policies, then Li Xingchen would still accept criticism humbly. But if he doesn't understand the truth, and even insists on confusing right and wrong even when he understands the truth, don't blame him.
Li Xinchen's men showed no mercy.
The Han Dynasty advocated widening the voice, and even Li Xingchen encouraged the people to start their own newspapers, which coexisted with the official newspapers of the Han Dynasty. They could take care of some corners that the official newspapers could not cover. At the same time, they actually encouraged people to have ideas, even objections.
Provide a channel for people to express their thoughts and even go directly to Tianting.
However, this channel is not for you to use casually or even use it as a tool to vent dissatisfaction and incite public sentiment.
But no matter what, as long as the matter reaches this point, someone will inevitably jump out to smear the Han Dynasty, belittle the bloody efforts of the Han soldiers, and attempt to incite public opinion to obtain greater benefits.
Therefore, it is naturally best to prevent all this from the source.
The Han army is singing a triumphant song, is there anything else you can say to discredit it?
If you continue to use forceful rhetoric, I'm afraid the common people will be the first to be reluctant. As the Han Dynasty pays attention to propaganda and education in recent years, the people's wisdom has gradually opened up, and the concepts of country and nation have gradually been implemented. It is not that the people have no ability to distinguish right from wrong.
capabilities, and at the same time, the majority of the people naturally hope that this country can develop better.
In addition to facing the pressure of public opinion about the success or failure of the war, Li Xingchen actually had another worry.
The move of the Han Dynasty's capital to Luoyang has already aroused great criticism in the south, but the imperial court has been working hard to channelize public opinion and "boil the frog in warm water" step by step so that officials and people in the south can accept this fait accompli.
With the threat of war, no matter what the court said, it would be in vain. By then, the voices opposing the relocation of the capital and demanding that the capital be relocated to Jiankang Prefecture would surely become louder.
By then internal and external conflicts will arise, and who knows if other troubles will arise.
Therefore, Li Xingchen still preferred to lead the expedition in person.
This personal expedition by the imperial commander must be different from the previous attack on the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At most, Li Xingchen could only go west to reach Chang'an. However, this of course also has negative effects. His Majesty just returned to Luoyang and went directly to Chang'an. This shows that the situation in the northwest war has tended to be...
The deterioration of the situation has forced His Majesty to personally go and take charge of the situation, which will of course cause unrest among the people in the country.
It's just that Li Xingchen obviously doesn't know the attitude of the civil and military officials towards this matter yet. By asking Yang Su at this time, he is naturally testing Yang Su's attitude first. If everyone in the Taiwei Mansion expresses opposition, then there is no need to continue.
Let’s discuss this matter, because the civil servants will definitely oppose it more thoroughly.
Li Xingchen couldn't find a reason that could convince everyone, so he insisted on heading west.
Yang Su was silent for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty, the northwest war situation has not been able to break the stalemate. It is also a good thing to let the cavalry generals go to stabilize and stabilize the morale of the army. After all, with the arrival of reinforcements, the northwest governor Xu and General Yuwen
They may not be able to stabilize the situation, but General Cao has already gone to Hetao to protect the food and grass and confront Xue Yantuo's tribe. Now the northwest is indeed short of a general, and I think it's a good thing."
After all, Xu Deyan's military career was short. Although he has been serving as a border official since then, he has been an out-and-out civilian official and his prestige in the military is not high. Cao Zhong, as the actual general in charge of the northwest military, had already gone to Hetao at this time.
No way, the Xue Yantuo people who smelled the smell of blood began to move on the grassland again. Half of the Fenwu Army in Pingcheng was still in Youzhou. The remaining troops may be more than enough to defend Pingcheng, but they really can't take care of the Hetao side.
.
In other words, not only could the northwest troops and horses not be able to deal with Tuyuhun's attack with all their strength, they had to allocate part of them to defend Hetao, a major grain and grass area in the rear. This is why Yu Wenxin and others sent emergency documents again and again, which was really difficult.
After the reinforcements arrived, the pressure faced by the northwest Han army might not be that great, but new problems would naturally follow. The reinforcements that came were all temporarily drawn from the various departments of the Han Dynasty, except for the relatively complete establishment.
Apart from the two armies of Gong Han Army and Zhen Lin Army, almost all the other armies were cobbled together by you and me.
Although Cao Zhong was from Long Yuanrong, he had been in the northwest for a long time, and his reputation in the entire Han army was not great. Let's not mention Xu Deyan, a civil servant. And Changsun Sheng was engaged in diplomacy and civil affairs, so needless to say.
Yu Wenxin and others were former surrendered generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They originally asked to go to the northwest because they were unwilling to face the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, the other armies did not have a good impression of them, and it was considered good if they did not even dislike them.
When reinforcements arrive, how to arrange their distribution will definitely be a headache.
Therefore, Pei Zilie must not just sit in Chang'an.
This is what Li Xingchen originally wanted.
Li Xingchen looked at Yang Su.
This question is just to spark some discussion, my focus is on the hidden meaning.
Li Xingchen had enough reasons to believe that Yang Su should understand, but now he felt like he was pretending to be stupid.
Yang Su took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "His Majesty entered Guanzhong that year, accepted Yu Wenyun's surrender in Chang'an and the whole Guanzhong was in Guanzhong. After that, he made Chang'an the companion capital. If His Majesty went to Chang'an in the name of inspecting the companion capital, it would be justifiable."
