Chapter 515 Chongzheng Palace Listening to the Politics 2
Tonight's face-to-face in the Chongzheng Palace is confidential. This is the first time Liu Chengyou has had close contact with the central officials of the Han Dynasty after this return. , some changes, more deferential.

It's not that these officials were not respectful enough in the past few years, it's just that under the respectful face, some strange thoughts were inevitable.In the past, Liu Chengyou had a feeling that he was alone, displaying his powers and tricks, dragging the leaky Han Dynasty forward to develop and progress.Although the officials didn't hold back much, they and Liu Chengyou were not really of one mind after all.

But right now, the officials in the palace are obviously starting to really do their best for the Han court, for their monarch, for the century-old foundation and thousands of years of achievements.Although this is a mysterious and mysterious thing, Liu Chengyou seems to feel the "sincerity".

Take Guo Wei as an example, although he is in charge of the privy, in the past, Liu Chengyou made a move, he responded, Liu Chengyou took a step forward, and he took a step back.The privy council proposal he put forward on this matter is obviously positive, and he is aggressive for the country to repeat the "great unification".

Feeling this, Liu Chengyou's expression stretched a little unconsciously, and the corners of his lips were filled with a little joy.

"What's the situation in Guanzhong now? How is the Shu army moving?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

The person who answered this time was Zheng Renhui, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. He stood up, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of spring, about [-] Shu troops have entered the palace and Guanzhong. The envoy, surrendered minister He Jianjian, and his deputy, led an army of [-] out of Fengzhou to attack Fengxiang. Han Baozhen led an army of [-] paces out of Qinzhou to attack Longzhou with the Xiongwu Army Jiedu. Threatening Fengxiang's safety from the flanks!

According to the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department, this time the army was mobilized by Shu Shu secret envoy Wang Zhaoyuan. In response to this battle, nearly [-] civilians were recruited in the middle of Shu, and a large amount of food and supplies were mobilized! "

Hearing the news, Liu Chengyou frowned suddenly, and said: "No wonder, the Shu army has not withdrawn after our capital and the Southern Tang stopped the war and negotiated peace. The Shu army has so much investment in the early stage, and the appetite of the Shu army is so big. They really want to swallow me Fengxiang and Jingzhao. Sweeping Guanyou?"

"I heard that the official of Shu, Wang Zhaoyuan, was accompanied by Meng Chang, the lord of Shu. He was eloquent, deeply trusted by the lord of Shu, and entrusted him with military affairs. Wang Zhaoyuan compared himself to Zhuge, and guests had banquets, and often boasted about the Northern Expedition. This time, the Shu army attacked us directly. Guancheng, because our dynasty is used in the southeast, but shorter than the southwest, is forced by it and is at a disadvantage.

Because of the battle situation on the front line, the Lord of Shu praised Wang Zhaoyuan quite a lot.According to the spying situation of the Chengdu court, Hanzhong, and Shu, the Shu court seems to have the intention to send more troops! "

"I've heard of this man before! It's not that I underestimate the heroes of the world, but what kind of cat or dog dares to compete with Marquis Wu?" Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing, and said coldly: "Even if Marquis Wu is reborn, how can our dynasty be weaker than Cao Wei?" ?”

"Your Majesty's words are true!" Zheng Renhui said: "If the news is correct, then Wang Zhaoyuan is just a lucky minister. He has a lot of money and jade, and although he talks about war books, he talks about soldiers on paper. He has neither military experience nor governance. The ability to speak wild words is nothing but complacency, Yelang is arrogant!"

Walking to the map that was still hanging high, Liu Chengyou boarded the ladder bridge, studied it closely, and said: "The movement of the Shu army is almost the same as when it invaded Guanzhong in the early years of the Kingdom! The current confrontation is the front line. ,How's it going?"

Zheng Renhui stepped forward and introduced: "Li Ting commanded his main force, marched into Chencang, attacked Sanguan, Fengxiang Jiedu Zhao Hui gathered his soldiers to defend it, Baoda Jiedu Yao Yuanfu led the army of Fu and Bing, guarded Sanguan, and took Weishui Separation, the effect of slightly suppressing the corner. Qin and Feng are not here, and the Qinling Mountains are less steep. Therefore, in general, Fengxiang is on the front line, and our dynasty is at a disadvantage. However, Zhao and Yao are leading their troops to defend, and there is no danger for the time being. No further results were achieved.

The Yongxing Army took Song Yanwo on a festival and guarded Jingzhao to prevent the Shu army from attacking.In Longzhou, there is the Zhangyi Army Jiedu Shi Kuangyi leading the army to the south to stop Han Baozhen in Longzhou! "

"It's still too passive!" Liu Chengyou stared at the map for a long time, expressing his opinion on the situation in Guanzhong: "If there is a loss in Chencang and Longzhou, the situation will definitely collapse. If the Shu army fights smarter, send a If we set up a powerful force to attack the hinterland of Guanzhong, focusing on sabotage, even if there is no loss, the situation will definitely deteriorate! The prefectures in Guanzhong are already dilapidated, and the prefectures have only been stable for a few years, and they cannot withstand the invasion of soldiers!"

"Increase troops! Guanzhong needs more troops!" Liu Chengyou said seriously.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Guo Wei took the initiative to speak: "Increasing troops is inevitable, but in my opinion, the imperial court does not need to go west in a big way!"

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Wei: "What's Guo Qing thinking? Tell me!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Wei showed a scheming smile, and said: "One, since the conquest of the Huaihe River, the country's resources have been insufficient, the army and the people are exhausted, and urgently need to rest, so it is not appropriate to use large-scale troops! Two, if there is a big movement, I am afraid that I will run away. Shu army!"

Hearing what Guo Wei said, Liu Chengyou became interested, and thoughtfully said: "Guo Qing, it seems that there is a plot against the Shu army who invaded the north?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Guo Wei smiled lightly, and said, "Your Majesty has great ambitions and ambitions in the world. Meng Shu, who has stolen Sichuan, will be resolved sooner or later. The Meng family took advantage of the danger of the two Sichuans to separate the southwest. If they want to attack, they will be blocked. .

Now the Shu army is taking the initiative to attack and fight our dynasty on the Weihe River. If it can follow the example of Qianyou's early years, it will attack Meng Shu's army and people.If one point is destroyed today, and Shu is destroyed in the future, the obstacles will be less than ten points.

And the longer it is delayed, the greater the consumption of Meng Shu's national strength.Just take a defensive position, give them hope, whet their appetites, and prolong the war.When the Shu army came to the north, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of servants. They needed money and food, and there were few smooth roads.

"I suggest that His Majesty only need to send a small number of elite troops to the west to strengthen the defense of the west, and then send a navy into the Wei River to ensure that the Long and Feng are not lost!" Guo Weidao explained his thoughts.

"Guo Qing, this is an attempt to seek the country!" After hearing his words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but look at Guo Wei in surprise.

After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou asked: "If the Shu army sees that there is no profit to be made, why not just withdraw?"

"Then the troubles in the west will disappear for the time being, and His Majesty can concentrate on domestic affairs, regulating internal affairs, and accumulating national strength!" Guo Wei's eyes remained calm: "In just a year or so, it will be our dynasty, restart the strategy of the Western Expedition, and regain Qin and Feng. , and even marched into Hanzhong!"

"Guo Qing, consider it carefully!" Liu Chengyou looked at the other officials and asked, "My lords, what do you think?"

The emperor said so, and the ministers naturally had no objection.Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "The transfer of troops will be handled by the privy secretary! However, if the navy is sent to the west to enter Wei, Xiang Xun will lead the army there in person!"

"Yes!"

"Ding Nanjun Li's family, have there been any changes recently?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

"Li Yiyin and Gao Yunquan in Yanzhou had another dispute over a batch of war horses. Knowing that the Huainan war was over, they each withdrew their troops, and at the same time made a statement to the imperial court, accusing the other party of being relegated!" Wen asked, Feng Dao took the initiative to speak out.

In the Northwest region, almost everyone knows the relationship between Li Yiyin of the Dingnan Army and Gao Yunquan of the Zhangwu Army.Conflicts broke out almost every year. Li Yiyin showed weakness, while Gao Yunquan relied on the Northern Han court.

In this case, when something happened in the Northern Han Dynasty, the Dingnan Army made changes, and it would eventually turn into a "conflict" with Gao Yunquan.This time, it's the same. This is probably why Li Yiyin was cautious. No matter what, he never had a direct conflict with the Northern Han Dynasty.

It's just that this kind of secret action seems petty, which makes Liu Chengyou very disgusted.

"In these years, Li Yiyin was obedient on the surface, but secretly, she was really restless!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sneered.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was sullen, Wei Renpu could not help persuading him: "The Dingnan army has been backed by the Gobi and stood on the grassland for decades. It is far away in the northwest. It has already become a trend, and it is not an ordinary festival. Please calm down and bear with it for a while. Behavior, wait for the country to become rich and the army revitalized, find another good opportunity, send a good general, and the threat can be eliminated!"

Hearing the remonstrance, Liu Chengyou only raised his eyebrows, looked at Feng Dao, and ordered: "Send envoys to Yanzhou and Xiazhou respectively to mediate the dispute. The imperial court should be an arbitrator first!"

"Yes!" Feng Dao complied.

"In addition!" Liu Chengyou added: "Wu Desi Wang Jingchong captured a messenger sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty during the war, and with his credentials, he invited Li Yiyin to rebel in the northwest. Take the book and hand it over to Li Yiyin for Nantang, let him deal with it!"
