The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 500: Discussing politics in the imperial study room
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
The changes in the Wu Dynasty became extremely sudden.
Because Empress Dowager Xi imprisoned all officials in the palace, the spies of the Yu Dynasty in Guanyun City did not notice this shocking news at the first time, and naturally did not send this information to Beijing at the first time.
Just when Empress Dowager Xi successfully took over the power of the Wu Dynasty, in the imperial study room in the imperial city of Shangjing, Emperor Xuan and Fu Xiaoguan were discussing the conquest of Xirong.
"It's still a bit urgent." Yan Shidao thought for a while and then said: "Now that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, the Minshan Plank Road will probably become even more difficult. It will be really difficult for this large army to march into the Western Wilderness."
Emperor Xuan looked at Yan Shidao and laughed, but then turned to Yan Beixi and asked: "Did you never tell him about this strategy?"
Yan Beixi bowed his hand and said: "This policy is of great importance, and no one has ever talked about it."
When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, he immediately understood.
In the intelligence sent by Eunuch Jia a few days ago, it was confirmed that the fourth prince of the Yu Dynasty had contacted Xue Dingshan, the general of the Western Frontier Army. Mansion, purpose unknown, pending investigation.
It seems that His Majesty also knows the news.
Today's court meeting, His Majesty ordered the western frontier troops to go to Xirong to suppress the bandits. He also appointed King Huo Donglin of Zhenxi as the supervisor of the army, and asked Prince Jin Yu Wenshu to raise the necessary food and wages on the spot. This was intentional!
Sure enough, Emperor Xuan told the origin of this policy, and specifically mentioned that Xue Dingshan might have rebelled against him.
"I have thought about this for a long time and decided on this strategy with Prime Minister Yan. Firstly, I want to see if Xue Dingshan has colluded with Yu Wenshu. Secondly, I want to push the western frontier army into the Western Wilderness. Thirdly, I want to see if Xue Dingshan has colluded with Yu Wenshu. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses eat what the horses chew, but I would like to see how Yu Wenshu arranges this logistics."
This is indeed a good strategy. Fu Xiaoguan analyzed it carefully. Entering the Western Wilderness is not easy, and leaving the Western Wilderness is not easy either. If 300,000 frontier troops are put into the Western Wilderness, even if they want to rebel, it will be much more difficult to fight all the way to Jinling than coming directly from the west.
This is also a helpless move. Now that the Yu Dynasty's national power can no longer support such a war, moving the western frontier troops far away is just trading strategic depth for time.
When Yan Shidao heard this, he was surprised for a moment, and seemed to understand the reason, so he didn't ask any more questions.
And Emperor Xuan also looked at Fu Xiaoguan at this moment, "It was inconvenient to talk about it in the court just now, but now you listen carefully to me!"
Fu Xiaoguan was shocked, what does this have to do with me?
"I allow your Excalibur Special Forces to be expanded to 30,000!"
Fu Xiaoguan is overjoyed, is there such a good thing?
He quickly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "Don't be too busy to thank me. I still have something to say to you."
Fu Xiaoguan was startled again, but you should be more relaxed.
"I want you to transfer the four thousand Divine Sword Army from Pingling to the border town!"
Fu Xiaoguan frowned and was transferred to a border town? Not to mention the long distance, what's the problem with the border town?
"Today, there are only more than 50,000 soldiers left in the southern frontier army. The battle losses of the northern frontier army cannot be made up for a while, so Yu Chunqiu's team has to stay with the northern frontier army for the time being. After the peace talks are over, Yu Wentian The troops will be stationed in the north, while Yu Chunqiu's troops need to head to Shuzhou on the west road to Jiannan."
"I have to defend. As long as Shuzhou is defended, there is no possibility for the western frontier army to advance eastward. But as a result, the southern frontier army's combat strength has been sharply reduced. If something goes wrong in the south... it will be a big deal. Trouble."
To the south is naturally the Wu Dynasty.
The Wu Dynasty is actually in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xi. If this old witch completely controls the government, if she is really a member of the Moon Worship Sect, Emperor Xuan's concerns are very reasonable.
Now that Fu Daguan has gone to the Wu Dynasty, he is the brother of Emperor Wen and of orthodox royal blood. Can he...can bring order to the Wu Dynasty?
Fu Xiaoguan thought for a few breaths and nodded.
It is always right to prepare for a rainy day. In case this fat dad doesn’t deal with that old witch, with the four thousand divine sword special forces, they can snipe the enemy on the front line of the Qishan Corridor, which can cause great trouble to the incoming enemy. .
"Master's way..."
"I am here."
"The new year has just started, and the recruitment needs to be done as soon as possible. Now the northern frontier army and the eastern frontier army have a total difference of nearly 300,000 troops. This is equivalent to one less of the four major frontier armies of the Yu Dynasty. From Huang According to the news from the country, Tuoba Feng has centralized power and established an elite force of 400,000 people, named Tiandao..."
"I am very worried. If these 400,000 cavalry attack Yanshan Pass... Peng Chengwu only has less than 200,000 troops in his hands. How can he stop it?"
Yan Shidao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has sent officials to various provinces, and the recruitment will start immediately after the beginning of the new year."
"That's very good... Kang Ping, are you really not going to show me this year's report from the Ministry of Revenue?"
Dong Kangping curled his lips and took out a thin booklet from his sleeve pocket, "It's only because that boy kidnapped the minister's right servant that it has been delayed until now."
Emperor Xuan took the book and grinned: "He is your son-in-law, do you still take this matter to heart?"
Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and showed a bright smile to Dong Kangping. Dong Kangping glared at him and said viciously: "Your mother-in-law asked you to bring your family to the house for dinner tonight!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Fu Xiaoguan hurriedly saluted. Ever since he poached Li Cai, he had not dared to visit Dong Mansion these days. Now it seems that the old father-in-law has finally given up and this bad thing is over.
Emperor Xuan frowned as he looked at the booklet, "Of the many plans made at the beginning of this year, only the implementation of the New Deal has actually been implemented. This year, we were invaded by the barbarians and the palace bandits, which led to The implementation of the New Deal has also been much slower. In addition, the food and grass that should have been abundant are now in short supply.
This year, two rivers along the Yellow River were hit by disasters. There were already mature disaster relief strategies in place, but due to the need to supply food and fodder for the war, disaster relief in the two rivers was ineffective. I know this, but it only caused suffering to the people affected by the disaster and caused them to be displaced. Fortunately, it did not lead to a situation where the grassroots turned into bandits again.
Now that the war in the north has come to an end and the palace bandits have been beheaded, they still cannot relax their vigilance. The Yu Dynasty faced the most likely danger from the west, as well as tigers and wolves from the north.
Therefore, I believe that the food from the two Yangtze Rivers needs to be allocated uniformly and cannot be moved rashly. The grain from the east and west of Shannan must be gradually sent to Shuzhou and Shucheng to prepare for Yu Chunqiu's troops to move to Shuzhou.
The grain and grass collected from Huainan Road should be sent to Cangtong, an important town in the south, just in case. ”
Dong Kangping listened carefully, and Fu Xiaoguan also listened very seriously. He suddenly stood up and walked to the wall with the map, looked at it carefully, and then frowned.
"Something is wrong!"
