Han Shizu

Chapter 1227 Confident
"Your Majesty has already decided to tour Yulin in the west?" Wang Shenqi asked after hearing some important confidence from Yang Ye's mouth.

Yang Ye nodded, with an expression of anticipation and seriousness, he replied: "It has been decided, and the edict was received yesterday, the meeting between His Majesty and Lord Liao has ended, and the royal family has set off!"

"The meeting is over?" Wang Shenqi said with surprise in his tone, "Is it over like this?".

Noticing his surprised expression, Yang Ye couldn't help laughing, and said: "Otherwise? Although the Han and Liao countries have frictions from time to time, they have restrained each other after all. After ten years of peace, the relationship will not deteriorate easily. Furthermore, this time, Your Majesty The invitation was originally for the monarch to have a talk to show the friendship between the two countries. It is normal for the meeting to end and each to disperse."

This is where Yang Ye grew up. If it was the past, it would be embarrassing for him to say such insincere words.

Regarding this, Wang Shenqi sighed slightly, with a relaxed expression, and said: "I thought this would be the beginning of a new round of war between Han and Liao!"

In fact, during the previous hunting preparation period, not only the Han army in Shanyang, but also Yanshan in the east, Hedong in the south, and Yulin in the west were all prepared, basically in accordance with the preparations for the expedition.

Not only the officials and people in the border areas, but also many soldiers in the Han army who didn't know the reason thought that the two countries were going to war.Now, the security and harmony meeting ended perfectly, and the dark cloud that shrouded the border has also dissipated, and the tense atmosphere that has been tense for nearly twenty days has also been eased.

Of course, this will inevitably be disappointing for some generals who are looking forward to fighting and longing for meritorious service.Among them, Wang Shenqi was naturally included.

Wang Shenqi is a pure, honest and honest man, well-mannered, well-loved by his subordinates, has a good reputation in the army, and is also full of political vision.He can't be considered a belligerent. Compared with Wang Yansheng, Guo Jin and other generals, he is completely moderate, but these don't affect his desire to make achievements in the battlefield.

The reason is not complicated, it also lies in his second-class Marquis of Neihuanghou.With the current title system of the Han Dynasty, the princes belong to the top, with fewer places, and the marquises have the largest proportion, belonging to the backbone group.

But Wang Shenqi is relatively weak among the conferred marquises, regardless of military merit or seniority.In many cases, no matter how hard he works, without outstanding performance or dazzling record, his contribution will be ignored.

This is the case with Wang Shenqi, because he was not eye-catching enough, after being sealed, criticism and slander from others was inevitable.Wang Shenqi is also not a muddleheaded person, but also has a temper. He is a veteran on the battlefield and has led the army for more than 20 years. He is not so gentle, courteous and frugal.

Even in order to justify his name, he still looks forward to an opportunity to make contributions. Transferring to Yulin Road is also an opportunity given to him by Emperor Liu.The several conquests in Kaibao years failed to catch up. As a general who guarded the border for a long time and often dealt with the Khitan people, he naturally only focused on his strong neighbors in the north.

Therefore, Wang Shenqi was full of expectations when he received the warning from the camp to prepare for the war.

"It's a pity" But now, the cloud of war has dissipated, Wang Shenqi can't help feeling complicated.

Yang Ye is able to understand Wang Shenqi's mood, not just the friendship between his comrades, but also the problems Wang Shenqi encounters, the same applies to him.

The title of Yang Ye, Duke of Xinxing County, also caused a lot of controversy. For example, Wang Yansheng, although he was suspected of relying on the old to sell the old, it also reflected the true psychology of some veterans and handsome men.Competing for titles, competing for interests and status, this kind of thing can never be avoided.

In the final analysis, Yang Ye is still too young, and he is not yet 40 years old.At the moment of the Han Dynasty, only Yang Ye, a duke under 40 years old, was knighted for meritorious service.Previously, feeling the emperor's preference for him, Yang Ye also took the initiative to submit a table, hoping to be demoted to dispel criticism.

As a result, Emperor Liu received a very "severe" reprimand.The importance of fame and title is never given lightly, how can you, Yang Ye, just push it away?Ask Yang Ye directly whether he feels that the emperor's conferment on him is unfair, or whether he is not confident in his own achievements, and ask him why he despises himself and is swayed by some jealous public opinion.In the end, let me simply say that you Yang Ye talked about your own merits and thought that you should be awarded He Jue, and Emperor Liu directly agreed.

Although the words were harsh and the language was aggressive, Yang Ye was very moved by Emperor Liu's almost unreserved trust, and he didn't have any unnecessary reaction to the title.But he can keep in mind that he doesn't want to rely on his qualifications, wait for time to pass, wait for him to get older, and then eliminate those strange voices and gazes.

Noticing Wang Shenqi's expression, Yang Ye patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Although the battle has not started this time, the war between Han and Liao is inevitable, and your majesty's ambition for the northern expedition has never been dispelled. , Zhong Bao will finally have the time to fight!"

"I also understand!" Wang Shenqi also nodded, patted the sword on his waist, and said: "The Northern Expedition, there is no rush, the big man is not yet complete, and the sudden conquest is not a big deal! Besides, At this time of year, the enemy is not beneficial to me!"

Yang Ye also said with emotion: "Yes! According to the writings given by the Privy Council, the focus should be on the accumulation of strength. Although the Southern Expedition will not last long, it will consume a lot of national strength. Take time out and accumulate enough!"

"With His Majesty's style of making decisions before acting, we still have to wait!" Wang Shenqi said.

Yang Ye smiled slightly: "However, the results of Yulin's war preparation and training can also take this opportunity to be inspected and displayed in front of His Majesty!"

"Right now, the most important thing is to maintain law and order and be ready to meet the driver!" Yang Ye's expression gradually became serious, and he said, "Dahan 27 Dao, Yulin was established only before the establishment of the new San Dao in the southwest, how many people are there?" Daozhou has not yet received His Majesty's blessing. This time, His Majesty has made a tireless journey to patrol the north and transferred to the northwest, which is even more important to the northwest frontier defense.

As Yulin is the first Taoist government to greet the driver, we must cheer up and make sufficient preparations to meet the driver, so that no mistakes can be made.Luo Du deployed the Civil Service Office, asking us to clean up the law and order to avoid any disturbing accidents! "

"Those party members need to be warned!" Wang Shenqi said forcefully.

"That's not necessary, just do what's within our scope of responsibility!" Yang Ye shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is patrolling. If we do too much, we will show a guilty conscience and make people mistakenly cover it up. What Your Majesty wants to see , should also be the most authentic military and political situation in Yulin!"

In terms of comprehending the Sacred Heart, Yang Ye still has an advantage.

"However, there is one thing that needs to be arranged by Zhong Bao!" Yang Ye said again.

"General orders!" Wang Shenqi cupped his hands.

"There are quite a few leaders of the several party ministries in the territory, and they are all called together to accompany us to welcome us!" Yang Ye said.

"En!" Wang Shenqi responded, and waved his hand easily: "It's easy! It's also their honor to welcome Shengjia, and they dare not refuse!"

"It's just——" looked up at Yang Ye: "The Dangxiang tribe is still under the management of the state government. Is it appropriate for us to intervene rashly?"

Wang Shenqi is also a politically conscious general.

Hearing this, Yang Ye laughed and said: "Wu Gong has already discussed it with me, but to carry it out, don't worry about it!"
