In the afternoon, the princes came to the Chamber of Deputies one after another. Before the emperor came, a dozen people quickly gathered into a small circle in chat. There are only fifteen people in total, six generals, three chiefs in front of the palace and three guards, Ma Busi; nine civilians, two in the Privy Council, three in the political affairs hall, and four in the cabinet.
As soon as Zan Jurun came in, Zuo You asked, "The important things for the servant Zan are done?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zan Jurun's face, and he hurriedly clasped his fist and said: "It's done."
As soon as they spoke, the two began to talk. People should be group creatures, and being in a group can feel a lot more at ease; especially on such occasions, everyone is talking about it, if someone is isolated, they will probably feel very uncomfortable.
Han Tong and Shi Yanchao are the kind of isolated people. Han Tong waited for a pair of big eyes, as if someone else owed him money, no one talked to him for a while, because no one wanted to put a hot face on a cold fart|stock, somehow came up and touched his nose, and of course he would find someone Talk to good, friendly people.
Shi Yanchao held his head high and sneered from time to time, seeing people with contempt in his eyes. The style of "the first fierce general of the big week" is sufficient.
Han Tong and Shi Yanchao did not speak, and seemed to look down on each other.
Yang Biao's legs are almost healed. Recently, he returned to the superior in front of the palace. He didn't use the crutches and he seemed to have recovered well from the injury.
At this moment, an **** walked in first and said: "The emperor is here!"
The crowd dispersed immediately, divided into civil and military positions, sorted by position. When Guo Shao walked in, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted a long life.
Guo Shao had almost no ostentation on such occasions. He wore an old purple round-necked robe and a black silk head. He didn't know he thought he was just a civilian. He took a seat in the upper position, and after meeting the courtiers, he said "given you to sit".
Guo Shao looked at Lu Duoxun, "Lu Fuzheng is a person who went to the northwest. I want to hear your opinion first."
Lu Duoxun hurriedly stood up and worshiped his superiors, and then bowed to the ministers on the left and right. His voice was a little nervous, and he cautiously said: "The northwestern plan, Hexi is particularly heavy. The land here is fertile, rich in cattle, sheep, horses, and sufficient food. Long-shoud land; it is also a place where the Han family has rooted and operated for hundreds of years, and it is easier to submit. As long as we can hold Hexi, go west to guard against Xizhou Huihu and other tribes, it is a long-term plan; east can hit Longyou from east to west The various ministries made it difficult to advance eastward easily..."
Guo Shao asked: "How to take possession of Hexi?"
Lu Duoxun pondered for a moment, and said: "Weichen thought that he could only delay the plan, and he could establish prestige among the tribes first by means of alliance, commerce, and tribute..."
The words are not over yet, Shi Yanchao said coldly: "You are really a tuberculosis species! When I came back, I was bribed and robbed|robbered, and the people were all killed, and my life was almost lost. I didn't ask soldiers to report| But it’s so troublesome to say."
Lu Duoxun was abruptly beaten into his stomach when he said something, his face was blue and white, looking at Shi Yanchao, he couldn't speak.
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others looked at each other.
Wang Pu really couldn't stand it, and asked: "Then General Shi thought, how should he retaliate with soldiers?"
Shi Yanchao thought for a moment, and said: "Only tens of thousands of fine knights of the Forbidden Army, kill from Longyou, drive out all Tubo and Dangxiang in Longyou; then kill to Ganzhou in Xiliang, expel the barbarians and take back the whole Hexi, rendezvous with the Guiyi army in Guasha."
Everyone didn't say a word, Han Tong stopped staring, and rolled his eyes there.
Wang Pu said coldly: "General Shi said so lightly, from Tokyo to Heguazhou, more than 2,000 miles, how much will it cost for tens of thousands of troops to ride the west? Do you know how much the Northern Expedition will cost this year, Cao Bin How much does it cost to build a Jiangnan camp? I won’t talk about it. Can tens of thousands of rides be able to get to Hexi?
Before crossing the Yellow River, attack Dangxiang people; Xiazhou Dangxiang can't sit still. General Shi must first come up with a strategy to attack Xiazhou. "
Shi Yanchao frowned and said: "The Dangxiang tribe in the south is the same nostril as Xiazhou Dangxiang?"
Wang Pudao: "The general history of the dossier that Lu Shijun brought back must have been missed. The Dangxiang tribe in the west has activities in Lingzhou (Yinchuan Plain) in the north and Shanzhou (Xining Plain) in the south. The Li family of Xiazhou and these The tribes have the same language, not only frequent exchanges, but also marriages. Shanzhou has good iron quality, and most of the armor and weapons of Xiazhou Dangxiang are obtained from the south. How about Xiazhou Li’s general when going to fight Dangxiang?"
Shi Yanchao didn't say a word.
Guo Shao discovered that Shi Yanchao looked down on civilian officials and rarely contradicted Wang Pu alone; and Wang Pu didn't have a good tone when talking to him.
At this moment, Wei Renpu said: "If you want to march west, it will take time and a lot of extravagance. The imperial court first deals with the Youyun Liao army and cannot easily fall into the quagmire of the west. The minister agreed with Lu Shilang’s proposal and should be Comfort is the main thing."
Wei Renpu is also a protagonist, and his rhetoric advocates often winning by force, even he said so. Let Guo Shao further conclude that the mess in the west cannot be easily solved.
Guo Shao believes that the Xiazhou party project is the Xixia Kingdom that will be difficult to deal with in the future, and he regards it as a thorn in the eye. But at this time you really can't move it casually...It's already very difficult to deal with the Liao State, and then you get stuck in another difficult war quagmire, isn't it a death?
Lu Duoxun glanced at Shi Yanchao, clasped his fist and said: "Xiazhou and other five states have pastures and large arable land. Salt, iron, and copper are also produced in the north. There are sufficient food and resources. The party members are all soldiers, and the soldiers are strong and strong. . If you want to go to war, I am afraid it is not light."
At this moment, Wei Renpu said: "The ministers have some ideas in the past two days..."
Guo Shaodao: "Vice envoy Wei said it's okay."
Wei Renpu stood up and looked back and said: "According to your majesty and the court's princes, the court currently intends to stabilize the west and expand the horse from the northwest. It has not yet planned to attack the northwest. Therefore, the end of the battle cannot be opened lightly.
The official view of the Xiazhou Dangxiang was at the time of the war in the Central Plains, and for decades, he had bowed his head to the Central Plains. It can be seen that the Li family of Xiazhou still has awe of the great powers of the Central Plains. Last year, the Great Zhou attacked the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty), and the Li sent troops to the Yellow River to support the Great Zhou army; and no matter what his intentions were, he meant to make friends.
That's why, if the court does not persecute the Li family, Xiazhou will not easily risk our enemy.
However, the Tubo tribes and the Hexi Uighurs are now in a mess, each in their own right; there is no threat to Guanzhong's strength, and they are far apart. The imperial court should make alliances first for the approach of distant ties and close attacks. "
Wei Renpu bowed to his superior: "Your Majesty can choose a minister and lead a team to patrol the west.
One of the itineraries is to call the Hexi Dangxiang people for peace talks, discuss the looting between Dazhou Fanzhen and the Dangxiang tribes, and ease the relationship. You can also invite Xiazhou Li's to participate in the peace talks... In recent years, border conflicts have continued, and if you ignore them, it will inevitably be a hidden danger of intensification and chaos.
The second trip is to call the Northwest alliances to open mutual markets and exchange horses for trade. "
Everyone was not very happy to hear it, but no one objected.
I think back then, the Han dynasty and the Huns and the Tang dynasty and the Tubo were all to ease the relationship, either because the enemy was too strong to destroy, or could not cope with it. Compromise, or at least temporary compromise, is a necessary strategy, otherwise the Central Plains will not be as strong as the national power of the Central Plains if war goes on all sides.
Guo Shao didn't feel at ease, but thinking that his current primary goal is Youyun, he was silent.
The sense of cage is stronger, Guo Shao finally couldn't help but said: "I want to go personally for the western tour."
Unsurprisingly, the ministers were discouraging. Guo Shao didn’t say anything categorically, but only said: “Deputy Envoy Wei puts forward his proposal, and Deputy Envoy Wei is responsible for contacting the ministries and arranging everything..." He turned his head to look at Lu Duoxun again, "Shi Lang is The only person here who has been to Hexi, you are the deputy."
The two are leading.
As soon as they dispersed, Guo Shao summoned Wang Pu and Wei Renpu to the Yangde Hall for a close talk.
Guo Shao pays attention to the Northwest. In addition to preventing the barbarian tribes from causing chaos, he also has a grudge against the Northwest tribes...especially the Jingnan Junzhejia, because he has personal grievances with Guo Shao.
At that time, Guo Shao ascended the throne. In order to reduce resistance, he did not dare to move those powerful vassals and everything remained the same. By now, these vassals should be gradually sorted out.
...The Northwest Strategy took shape very quickly. It can be implemented only after checking the omissions and filling the vacancies and weighing them for a while.
Guo Shao is standing in front of the big map by the wall. The topographic map on the west has been added; there are several large separatist sites on the south. However, Guo Shao finally looked towards Youzhou, Hebei.
Regardless of the north and south, it is for another northern expedition!
What you do is to accumulate strength and reduce threats elsewhere in order to focus on the target.
At this time, the threat from the northwest is not urgent. The remaining countries in the south have never been able to move north to threaten the Central Plains... Even the Liao Kingdom has no signs of large-scale southward plunder due to internal chaos.
Da Zhou is in the offensive period.
Although others have not come to beat yourself now, the offense cannot be stopped; if you don’t actively fight now, you will have to fight passively in the future. Is it to hold onto the things in your hands securely and steal your life, or to head to a higher place? Opportunities are always available!
Guo Shao used to be the best at detecting timing, but they were all opportunities for small things. This time, he is feeling the opportunity of history in secret...
Youyun is the most important place. At this time, the Liaoning civil chaos was the time of weakness; and the Central Plains had just stabilized a little from the war, and the strength of the territory was expanding and rising, and the dynasty was usually the most effective at this time. When one goes down and the other grows, don't occupy the vital place at this time and take the opportunity to establish a position, but when?
Guo Shao said: My judgment should be correct.
He turned his head and looked out the window of Yangde Hall. The towering palaces, double eaves, and wide brick avenues of the imperial city were quietly in sight, solemn and grand. In the still landscape, time seems to stand still.
The people here can't notice it, as if time is passing and changing as a matter of course; but Guo Shao knows that everything is gradually going away and is moving in a direction that he doesn't know.
Where is it heading? Guo Shao didn't know, he just felt that everything was still in a place where it was off track.
It is Guo Shao who has taken the vastness away from the direction. Time is like a river rushing, maybe a new river is waiting ahead. Guo Shao was trying to bring it there.
