Step on a branch

Chapter 187
Clutching his chest, Qin Yin coughed twice.

After all, Eunuch Xu was on duty in front of the imperial court, no matter how he saw this group of veterans who were proud of their contributions in private, they still had a method in doing things.

Earlier, after hearing that the Marquis of Yongning could not drink tea, he offered him a cup of warm water instead.

Qin Yin picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

Soothing his throat, he said again: "At that time, it was finally passed smoothly.

But after Lin Xuan passed away, it was not like that.

Before he died, all he was talking about was taking down Xizhou City, but unfortunately he didn't hold on.

According to his instructions before he died, the veteran quietly sent his body back to the pass. The army pretended to be unharmed, and pretended to be with the Xiliang people, and slowly retreated to Feimen Pass.

Unfortunately, the news leaked out.

The Xiliang people who had been pushed back steadily by him earlier became arrogant when they found out that our lord general had died of illness.

Nanshu, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately joined the battle.

We can say that we fled back to Feimenguan, as embarrassing as we want.

After that, the leader of the three armies was still undecided, Xiliang and Nanshu took advantage of the fire to loot, and the border was long, and the pressure was huge.

We just lost the opportunity, and although we slowly stabilized and fought back, the price we paid was too high.

The series of influences lasted for several years. An Guogong was seriously injured and returned to the capital, that is to say, two more years of breathing. His son even defended the southern border and did not come back.

How many generals and soldiers Da Zhou sacrificed to stabilize the border to the same position as when Lin Xuan was there.

So, my majesty, a lesson from the past.

We must not let Xiliang and Nanshu people join forces, once their coalition deployment is completed, we will lose the opportunity, even if we hold on later, the price will be..."

The emperor stroked his beard and was silent for a long time.

He is not good at arranging troops, nor is he good at leading troops in conquests, he knows this very well.

However, there is no less reading of military books, and no less listening to the various analyzes of the generals, and the good things can still be distinguished.

Be Zhuge Liang after the fact, this ability is not lacking.

Therefore, he can understand what Qin Yin said.

Especially with two battles in front of us, comparing the results, the answer is obvious.

"That's what Qin Aiqing said," the emperor looked at Qin Yin deeply, and asked, "If Aiqing goes to Feimenguan, will the two of them be unable to unite?"

Hearing this, Marquis Yongning chuckled: "Your Majesty, the Tartars in Xiliang are fierce, but the alien races in Southern Shu are different, they are used to adapting to the wind.

If you don't see a rabbit and don't scatter an eagle, you have to get a share of the pie before you can make some effort.

Seeing that the Xiliang people took advantage of Yushakou, they dared to join forces.

Xiliang is advancing outside Feimen Pass, and we have to deal with them. Nanshu happens to start from the southern border, which makes us stretched.

Once Xiliang suffers, Nan Shu can run faster than a dog!

It's true that the old minister can't lift a knife now, but the Xiliang people don't know that the old minister's name can be used to scare them and remind them of how Yushakou was cut down by the old minister. "

Oh, the emperor smiled.

He is familiar with Qin Yin who said this.

Confident, bloody.

Qin Yin has become weaker, but Qin Yin is still Qin Yin.

This made the emperor feel more comfortable.

As for his usefulness, it is also in line with the views of the people in the early court about Yongninghou going out with illness.

Qin Yin went, not to kill the enemy, but to establish prestige.

Control those who are not convinced by each other in the army, and also scare the Xiliang people.

It's true, it's not impossible.

Marquis Yongning discerned the emperor's mood and thought to himself, almost, it's time for the final blow.

Ask for a quasi-letter.

"Your Majesty, the old minister dare not forget the exhortations of the late emperor." Qin Yin wiped his face and said, "I am old and sick, so I can't show the momentum and prestige of the Great Zhou like that year and make Xi Cool, Southern Shu timid.

However, this blood, the old minister didn't want to stay cold in Beijing, so he had to spill it to Feimenguan.

Taking advantage of this breath, I will meet Xiliang again, give them a blow, and let Nan Shu see that Da Zhou can still fight.

As long as Nan Shu hesitated, Feng Zhong could continue to deal with the people of Xiliang even if the veteran couldn't hold on.

The old minister is like this, and he is worthy of the late emperor's entrustment. "

The emperor frowned and loosened, loosened and tightened for a long time, and said: "If Aiqing is like Lin Xuan, Nan Shu will come back when he sees that we have lost the main general."

"The old minister doesn't like to hear what the emperor said." Yongning Hou shook his head, "The old minister is just sick, not dying. The imperial physicians said that as long as the old minister can support him, he can survive for several more years."

"I made a slip of the tongue," said the emperor, "I just thought of Lin Xuan..."

Before Lin Xuan left Beijing for the last time, he was much healthier than Qin Yin now, and the relapse of old injuries came in a surge, which was unreasonable at all.

Yongning Houdao, "Lin Xuan died of illness outside the Feimen Pass. We had to retreat steadily, so we lost the initiative. The old minister is going here, not going out of the pass, and the troops are arranged well. If you can hide it, you can't hide it. Let's disperse The false rumors, on the contrary, Xiliang and Nanshu have to weigh, whether the old minister is really sick or fake. Once you start to weigh, with Nanshu's temper, you will retreat."

Hearing his analysis, the emperor's brows finally relaxed.

Before, he had already figured out the ins and outs of letting Qin Yin go to war. Now it seems that it is indeed feasible.

First fight back Xiliang and Nanshu to eliminate foreign aggression, while the female family members stay in Beijing to contain Qin Yin, which can greatly guarantee that there will be no internal aggression.

With Qin Yin's temperament, it is impossible for him to abandon his blood relatives and rebel.

For Qin Yin, the rebellion will bring the whole family with him.

That's how it was in response to the late emperor and the uprising.

This time, as long as Mrs. Hou and his grandson and granddaughter stay in Beijing, Qin Yin will definitely not do anything wrong.

"Aiqing is determined," the emperor said, nodding his head, "If I objected blindly, I failed Aiqing's heart.

Aiqing is right, Nanshu and Xiliang are aggressive, and Aiqing needs to destroy their prestige.

I can let Aiqing go, but you have to promise me one thing.

Go well, come back well, I and your family are waiting for your triumphant return in Beijing. "

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Yin was very excited: "Old minister, old minister must live up to the emperor's entrustment!"

The emperor said: "Aiqing go back early today, pack your bags, and wait for the Ministry of War to arrange your ships and carriages before you can set off."

Eunuch Xu invited Qin Feng and Qin Zhi in.

Qin Yin was moved back to the bamboo sedan chair and carried out by two people.

Eunuch Xu went to see him off, and the emperor sat on the big chair and rubbed the center of his brows.

Qin Yin's excitement was real, and he didn't have the slightest reaction to "the family stays in Beijing", which also proves that he has no dissent at present.

He was going to Xiliang and Nanshu. Like his previous expeditions, the female relatives of course did not accompany him.

A correct sentence, naturally no other meaning can be heard.

If he had other thoughts and considered the comfort of his family members, worried that something would happen to them in the capital, then he would react when he heard such a sentence.

The emperor was very satisfied with Qin Yin's lack of response.

　See you tomorrow~~
