Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 154 Li Gan: Maybe you can take the opportunity to defeat Qi!Zhao Kuangyin was besieged

Such an urgent report must first be handed over to the Ministry of War.

The sergeant who delivered the letter rushed into the yamen of the Ministry of War panting, and after a while Li Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, rushed out of the Ministry of War with two servants, and went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of War.

After Li Jing left, several small officials came out from the yamen of the Ministry of War and scattered away.

Shangshu Pushe is the boss of the six departments, so when Li Jing got the news, he was the first to notify him.

After Cai Jing received Li Jing's news, he was startled at first, and then frowned.

"It's just a small matter, and it's just a loss of some people. It doesn't affect the overall situation, so why make such a fuss?"

"The front line even took eight hundred miles to send it back urgently, I don't know what it means!"

Cai Jing looked at the military newspaper and shook his head with emotion: "It's a small defeat, but with such a big fanfare, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in the capital!"

Li Jing frowned slightly: "My lord, even a small defeat has to be taken seriously."

"I'd better submit this information to Zhongshu and the two provinces under my sect first, and then report it to His Majesty."

Cai Jing sighed, looked at Li Jing, got up and went to the door again: "You come with the old man."

Several people left Shangshu Province and headed towards Miyagi.

Yan Song is not around these days, so the two servants of Menxia Province are in charge of the affairs of Menxia Province.

After a while, these people, together with Qin Hui who got the news, gathered together and headed towards Ziwei Hall together...

In the Ziwei Hall, Li Gan woke up early today, which is rare, to read the memorial in the Political Affairs Hall.

He hasn't had a good time in recent days, and he is completely devastated by the following memorial.

One is the disaster caused by the previous moon sacrifice. Because of the inconsistent system, it was criticized by many censors.

Not only did they criticize Li Qian, the emperor, they even scolded the Ministry of Rites for being flattering, breaking the etiquette system for the sake of flattery, etc...

Li Qian's original intention was to keep these memorials, but some places made him too angry, so he couldn't help but go back. Unexpectedly, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, which attracted many ministers' attention. Qi wrote.

Some said that His Majesty should punish the Ministry of Rites and not encourage their unhealthy tendencies. Some said that His Majesty should study more because he had dropped out of school since he was a child and had no experience in handling political affairs in the Eastern Palace. , Listening to Hanlin lectures... It makes him very annoying to watch.

This is just one of them. The second thing that bothers Li Gan is the trouble caused by the scholars.

In recent days, after the end of the autumn period, the scholars who came to the capital to take the exam played in the city recklessly, which caused many security incidents.

This is the same as the college entrance examination in the previous life. Take advantage of this time before the results are released, relax and be happy.

When Qiuwei releases the list, those who fail the list will enter the factory... No, they will go back and continue studying hard.

And those gentlemen who were admitted to Juren have since left their status as ordinary people and stepped into the class of "scholars". Naturally, they must pay more attention to dignity and not be as crazy as they were when they were scholars.

Therefore, the ten days before the release of the rankings were their last happy time.

If it was as usual, this kind of thing would not bother Li Gan, but now Jingzhao Mansion has a new pusher, and this person has a habit of reporting cases to the public.

Every time a scholar's case is tried, he writes a memorial and submits it to Li Gan to let him see what's wrong with it.

It is said that the case of the scholars must not be sloppy, and if one is not handled well, these prospective people will gather together to make trouble.

Li Gan didn't know whether it was Qin Hui's instigation or his original intention. Anyway, Li Gan didn't like this habit very much. After reading such a case memorial, he had to spend a lot of time verifying it and asking others about the situation. Troubles annoyed him.

I really miss Cai Bian, the pusher... I don't know how he is doing in the Ministry of Punishment, and whether he has conflicts with Cai Jing...

While Li Gan was thinking, the old eunuch suddenly ran in to report: "Your Majesty, a minister is asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Li Gan replied rather weakly.

The old eunuch glanced at him secretly, and said cautiously: "It's Prime Minister Qin, the left servant shot Master Cai, Li Sima of the Ministry of War, Pei Butang..."

Hearing the series of names he announced, Li Gan was slightly taken aback: "So many people came together? Could there be something important today?"

The old eunuch frowned and said, "I heard that it was an urgent military report sent from the state of Wu. After receiving it, the Ministry of War rushed to find Mr. Cai and the others."

"Wu's military newspaper?"

Li Gan narrowed his eyes, could it be that there was a good news?The imperial army has taken Xuyi?

But it seems that there is no need to send an urgent [-] miles, right?Not to mention Qin Hui and the others.

Could it be that this is a major event that can subvert the court?
Similar to Civil Fort Change? The 300,000 forbidden troops were all wiped out?Zhao Kuangyi, the leader, and the others made people capture prisoners and became Wu Guo's overseas students?

No, the relationship between the imperial court and the state of Wu cannot be called studying abroad, it can only be called a transfer student, a transfer student from the state of Wu...

"Announce them in."

Li Qian's face was calm, the more important it was when such a major event was imminent, the less he could panic.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch led the order, and after a while, Qin Hui and others hurried in from outside the hall.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"Everyone is given a seat."

Li Gan looked at Li Jing, and asked directly, "Is it the urgent military situation sent by Wu?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Jing handed over a thin envelope, the old eunuch took it, and carefully handed it to Li Gan.

"Is the military situation serious this time?" Li Gan didn't look at the military situation first, but took a deep breath and looked at the many ministers below.

"This……"

The ministers looked at each other with strange expressions.

Seriously, he's not that serious.

But what if it's not serious?It seems to be quite serious...

"His Majesty……"

Li Jing's words flickered: "You should see for yourself."

Li Gan was taken aback, this seemed a little different from what he thought?

Could it be that there is some mystery in this military newspaper?
He shook out the letter paper and read it word by word.

"On the [-]th of this month at Xushi, the army received Zuo Weiwei's report on the battle in Sizhou City. Ministers Yang Su, Yu Chigong and others verified it and reported it to the imperial court."

"At Yinshi on the sixteenth day, Zuo Weiwei crossed the river at Hongniwan, Shiliang River. He temporarily led Zuo Weiwei's General Zhao Kuangyi, General Liu Guangyi and others to cross the river with the army to the east bank..."

Li Qian's expression became subtle as he read it.

It turned out that it was not the Tumu Fortress Change, but the Battle of the Gaoliang River.

"In the rebellious army, the enemy generals Shen Yu, Zhou Xun and other blood-sweaty horses wanted to take me as a hostage, but all the generals of Zuo Weiwei escaped with their unique skills. General Zhao Kuangyi was shot in the back and drove a donkey cart. , away from the dust."

Li Gan's complexion is strange, this military newspaper has been artistically processed, this bloody BMW, the generals of Zuo Weiwei all escaped with their unique skills, isn't it just yin and yang?
"In this battle, Zuo Weiwei killed more than [-] people, and more than [-] were captured. The remnants returned to the camp. At the end of the [-]th, Chen Guo sent a report that General Zhao Kuangyi returned, but he was not captured."

As expected of you, Zhao Kuangyi, you travel a hundred miles in a donkey cart at night, even though there are so many people with unique skills, you are still the most beautiful boy.

Li Gan looked at the military newspaper with a strange expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

With 300,000 forbidden troops, more than 300 were lost in the First World War, which can only be regarded as superficial to the army. There is no such thing as the injury he thought before, which is a good thing.

But this first battle ended like this... It is really not a good thing for the court.

He put down the military newspaper and looked further, he understood the expressions of these ministers.

Li Ganqiang suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said calmly: "This is a big matter, do Tang Guogong, Grand Marshal and others know?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to notify the generals." Li Jing clapped his hands back.

"it is good."

Li Qian looked calmly, nodded slowly, then turned to the old eunuch and said, "Quickly pass on the three of them to the palace for discussion."

The old eunuch took the order to go away, and Li Qian smiled apologetically at Qin Hui and the others: "I'm in a state of uncertainty when such a big incident happened, and I can't stop it. Why don't we discuss it after the three generals arrive?"

Qin Hui curled his lips, can this be called a big deal?Uneasy?

Then you are really less courageous than a needle nose.

But at this moment, he still couldn't figure out what Li Qian was thinking, so he smiled and said yes.

Cai Jing also cupped his hands in admiration: "Your Majesty is mature and prudent, Your Majesty is wise and wise."

For a moment, there was only silence in the political affairs hall.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Gan thought about the battle of Shilianghe for a while, and probably had an idea in his mind.

Zuo Weiwei's defeat in this battle did not hurt his muscles or bones. In fact, he didn't need to be in such a hurry to send out the battle report.

At that time, the report will only need to mention the battle of Shilianghe in one stroke. It should be written: Although there were some twists and turns before, and a little bit of troops were lost, Zuo Weiwei has successfully captured Sizhou City and continues to chase the Nine Guards. and go.

But now that the battle situation was sent back to Beijing in an expedited [-] miles, it was obvious that someone wanted to give Zhao Kuangyi eye drops.

And it's not hard to guess who it is, probably the remaining Nine Guards...

After Li Gan pondered for a while, Li Yuan, Zhao Kuangyin, and Yang Jian rushed over one after another.

"The minister waited to see His Majesty."

"Everyone is given a seat."

Li Qian seemed relieved at last, looking at the three of them.

The faces of several people were exactly the same, they were all extremely dignified, but maybe it was because of their skin color, or maybe it was because of their younger brother, Zhao Kuangyin's black face had a particularly dignified texture.

The melancholy that had been accumulated and suppressed just now burst out of Li Qian's mind, and he let out a long sigh: "The Forbidden Army suffered a big defeat, and I panicked for a while, seeing the three of you is like meeting the backbone~"

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned even darker, how could this be a complete failure?
"You three generals, tell me, what should we do now?" Li Gan's face was full of worry.

Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands first and said: "Your Majesty, this is Xiaobo Zheer. Now when the report arrives in the capital, maybe Zuo Weiwei has already regrouped and captured Sizhou City."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Li Yuan also spoke afterwards, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is nothing but an accident in Sizhou, and it does not affect the overall situation."

"The rest of the Nine Guardians should arrive in Xuyi today. Once the army arrives, Xuyi will definitely be taken. The hearts of Wu are scattered, and the follow-up will not be the enemy of the Nine Guards."

Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty, with an army of 27, as long as you don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward, but take it step by step, and cannibalize every city, the country of Wu will definitely not be our opponent. It's just a matter of time, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Only then did Li Gan seem relieved, and said with a light smile, "Since you all said so, I can rest assured."

He could sense that, although the latter two didn't say anything on the surface, their meanings were all irritating to Zhao Kuangyi.

The former said it was an accident in Sizhou, and he was trying to excuse himself on the surface, but later he said that Wu was not the enemy of the Nine Guards, which obviously excluded Zuo Weiwei.

But Yang Jian's words were a bit more serious, insinuating that Zuo Weiwei underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and his words also meant that only the remaining 27 troops attacked Wu.

But Li Qian didn't really want to see this kind of situation...

He smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I just saw this report and I was completely at a loss for a while. I suffered such a big defeat in the first battle. I really don't know how to continue fighting."

No you're not, you don't.

Qin Hui and the others watched His Majesty speak nonsense with his eyes open, you just wanted to laugh, how can you look like you have no master?

Li Yuan continued to comfort him: "Your Majesty, only three hundred officers and soldiers were lost in this battle. Failure in the battle and improper command can happen to anyone. The corner of Sizhou is just a trivial matter, so there is no need to worry too much about it."

"For the current plan, the overall situation of defeating Wu is still the most important."

Zhao Kuangyin's face froze, should Zuo Weiwei, who was defeated in the battle, sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation?

Li Gan nodded with a smile: "What the emperor said is reasonable, and it is true that you should not blame the Zuo Weiwei for such a trivial matter."

"As Marshal Zhao said, maybe today's report is due. Zuo Weiwei has already captured Sizhou City and has already rushed to Xuyi."

Yang Jian shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's best for Zuo Weiwei to stay in Sizhou."

"I heard before that when the court soldiers arrived in Wu State, Qi, Chu, and Yue also sent troops to counterattack Wu State. If these countries entered Wu State, they would definitely conflict with the imperial court troops."

"Furthermore, these countries have deep enmity with Wu. If they enter Wu territory, they will inevitably burn, kill and loot. Others will definitely blame this behavior on the imperial court and tarnish His Majesty's holy name."

"Sizhou is the land of the state of Chu, and it is also close to the state of Qi. It is an excellent location. Now that Zuo Weiwei is attacking Sizhou, he can be stationed there. soldiers into Wu."

Li Gan's face remained unchanged, it turned out that the back move was here.

"Your Majesty, I have exactly the same intention."

Li Yuan cupped his hands and replied: "If it is true what Generalissimo Zhao said, Zuo Weiwei has already captured Sizhou, it will be a good thing."

"They can be stationed in Sizhou City immediately, and start to deploy their defenses now."

"What the emperor and the general said makes sense..."

Li Gan rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He also didn't want Zuo Weiwei to be confined to Sizhou.

Zhao Kuangyin was weakened, not only did Li Qian do no good, but it would also allow Li Yuan and Yang Jian to gain more benefits in the battle of Wu, and continue to be big, which is a move that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

Moreover, the latter two are still relatives, and they often flirt with each other. Li Qian dare not imagine what the situation would be without Zhao Kuangyin, a cute big black fat.

Of course, on the other hand, if Li Gan can benefit from it at this time, for example, if he also gets a share of the cake that Zuo Weiwei gave up, then he will probably change his attitude now.

But no, Li Qian didn't have any close friends in the Forbidden Army, so he could only develop slowly in the future.

At this moment, he watched the performance of Zhao Kuangyin and the others coldly, and did not express his position in a hurry.

Li Qian felt that someone should be more anxious than himself.

"Your Majesty, I think this should not be the case."

During the discussion, Zhao Kuangyin's face seemed to turn darker, and he said in a deep voice: "Zuo Weiwei has such a defeat, if he doesn't punish him first, how can he calm down the army? Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and the way of governing the army is obvious. If the defeat cannot be punished, the soldiers and horses will be arrogant. , will surely lead to disaster.”

"This……"

Li Gan seemed shocked, and looked at him with an expression of disbelief: "General Marshal, but now your brother is temporarily leading Zuo Weiwei, but you want to punish him..."

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin cupped his hands, and his black face was full of seriousness: "There are no brothers in the battlefield, and there are no brothers in the court. I only have a sincere heart to serve the king!"

vomit~
This is the thought in the hearts of everyone present.

Li Gan was similar, but he didn't show it, but his eyes lit up, and he was so moved.

But before he could speak, Li Yuan smiled and said, "The Generalissimo's heart for the public is admirable."

"However, if it is true as you said, Zuo Weiwei has captured Sizhou City, and it can be regarded as a meritorious deed. Why do we need to be punished?"

"There is no difference between merit and demerit. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have demerit, you will be punished. Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can people be convinced."

Zhao Kuangyin said loudly: "This battle is all due to the failure of Zhao Kuangyi's command. You can take away his position as the general of Zuo Weiwei temporarily and replace him with Liu Guangyi. Some of the Zuo Weiwei will be stationed in Sizhou, and the rest will go south to attack with the nine guards." Wu Du."

Yang Jian shook his head lightly: "The generalissimo's words are too unfair. You can't blame the general for losing this battle. Even if you are General Zhao's brother, you can't criticize him so harshly."

"Is the loss in World War I just the coach's fault?"

Yang Jian's tone was somewhat cold: "I don't think so!"

"Perhaps the generals below were also at fault, but it was not stated clearly in the report. Just like Liu Guangyi, the general of Zuo Weiwei, perhaps he feared the enemy like a tiger and fled before fighting."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, and wanted to implicate the people below?

Li Yuan also said helplessly: "What General Yang said is very true. Grand Marshal, you can't wrong him just because you are Ting Yi's elder brother. Only when you are rewarded and punished can you convince the public."

Yang Jian frowned and added: "It's better to order Zuo Weiwei to garrison Sizhou first, and then ask him to report the details of the Battle of Shilianghe, and the court will check it again, and rewards and punishments will be issued after the results are known..."

Li Gan sat at the top, looking at this scene, Zhao Kuangyin had completely fallen into a slump, and if it continued like this, it was impossible to win against the other two.

But this is what Li Gan wanted.

The icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow. Only by helping out at this time can you gain personal affection...

But Li Gan is not the only one who has such an idea.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Qin Hui stood up suddenly and clapped his hands to report.

Li Gan was taken aback for a moment, looked at him with some unfriendly eyes for a moment, and finally said angrily: "President Qin just said it, there is nothing wrong with it."

It's impossible not to let him talk, right?

But Qin Hui was looking at Zhao Kuangyin and the others beside him, and didn't realize that his tone was wrong: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The three generals, as the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. Soldiers will inevitably suffer setbacks when they go out to fight. If they are too harsh on this, I am afraid that the soldiers who are out will be afraid to act."

"Soldiers will not move forward, how can we talk about victory?"

Qin Hui shook his head lightly: "What Tang Guogong said just now is reasonable, right now the overall situation of defeating Wu should be the most important thing, and we should not stick to one corner."

He looked at Li Yuan and asked, "Duke Tang, is this the reason?"

Naturally, Li Yuan couldn't be inconsistent, and could only slightly nod his head when he vetoed his own words.

But for some reason, he subconsciously felt that the medicine sold in Qin Hui's gourd was not a good medicine.

Sure enough, Qin Hui's tone changed at the next moment: "What is the overall situation? It is to quickly conquer Wu, make the river unblocked, and quickly bring the tank boats to relieve the victims."

"At this moment, the situation is urgent. Leaving a guard like Zuo Weiwei waiting in the city of Sizhou is a bit overkill. It is better to temporarily let them join the other nine guards to attack the city."

"As soon as rewards and punishments are due, we will make a conclusion after the army squadron returns to the court."

After the class teacher returned to the court, such a small matter was naturally submerged in many victories and defeats. A very outrageous battle of Shilianghe, which was the first defeat of the army, turned into a trivial accident.

Li Yuan and Li Yuan's expressions changed subtly upon hearing this, but Zhao Kuangyin took a deep look at Qin Hui, obviously remembering what happened today.

Li Gan gritted his teeth in his heart, brewing the atmosphere for a long time, but this guy picked the peach?
But the matter was not over yet, Cai Jing suddenly stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, I also have a fair word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Cai Qing's family said it's okay."

Li Qian said with a smile, there are too many lice and it is not ticklish.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Cai Jing saluted, he smiled at Qin Hui and said, "Mr. Qin, the officials also think what Mr. Qin said is reasonable, and should not be harsh on the soldiers outside for minor faults."

With a faint smile on his face, Qin Hui watched Cai Jing's performance quietly.

"It's the lower officials who feel that Zuo Weiwei should not be cut off from serving the court because of a small mistake, but should be entrusted with important tasks."

"Staying in Sizhou seems to be waiting, but Sizhou is an important place. It can deter the Qi army in the north and the Chu country in the southwest. With the strength of one guard, the two armies can be restrained. How important is the task?"

"I hope that Zuo Weiwei will not be afraid of difficulties, but have the courage to take responsibility!"

After Cai Jing finished speaking, Li Jing looked at him in surprise, and then Li Yuan said: "Yes, this task is quite difficult, and it may be besieged by the armies of the two countries. If you successfully defend it, it will be considered a great achievement! "

Yang Jian also nodded in approval: "Yes, the imperial court will never forget the dedication of the Zuo Weiwei soldiers, and will remember the merits for them."

"As for the punishment for the defeat of Shilianghe...there is no need to pursue it any further."

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned even darker. Right now, he was obviously weaker, and he couldn't compete with these two at all.

The only one who didn't speak at the moment was Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, and two servants of the Ministry of War.

But the Ministry of War probably wears a pair of trousers, and Li Jing's uncle is General You Xiaowei, so his butt may be on the other side...

"So, then Zuo Weiwei should be stationed in Sizhou City?"

Li Gan raised his eyebrows and smiled suddenly: "I heard from Uncle Huang and General Yang that this seems to be the best choice for them and the court, and I think it makes sense!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Although Li Yuan knew that he had the chance to win, he couldn't see any joy after victory on his face. Instead, he cupped his hands in an extremely calm manner: "I'm waiting for your praise, but just to mention the pros and cons. Waiting naturally depends on His Majesty's decision."

Zhao Kuangyin's complexion changed, it was obvious that he was acting good after getting a bargain!
"Your Majesty..." He was about to speak in a deep voice.

Li Qian waved his hand at him, then turned to look at Yang Jian: "Where is General Yang? Do you think what Uncle Huang said is reasonable?"

"This……"

Yang Jian's complexion changed slightly, and he felt that something was wrong with the words.

Li Qian looked at him with a smile, but the words in his mouth were pressing: "General, do you think the same as my uncle?"

Yang Jian glanced at Li Yuan without any trace, seeing that his head was still lowered, he had no choice but to say: "Go back to Your Majesty, yes."

These words were still very vague, but Li Gan didn't care. Instead, he stood up and said to the old eunuch, "Big Companion! Get the maps of Wu, Qi, and Chu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch took the order and left, and after a while, two young eunuchs worked together to carry a scroll, put it on the table with difficulty and unfolded it.

A huge map slowly unfolded.

Li Gan took a half step back a little later, in case he didn't want to see him, but fortunately, there is no such thing here.

It is very troublesome to draw a map of Dagan, because there are many wars among the vassal states.

This is your place today, it might be mine tomorrow.

Therefore, this large map does not indicate the spheres of influence of all parties, but only draws cities, mountains, rivers and other terrain and buildings on it.

Li Yuan looked at the map, frowned, and began to realize that things were not simple.

If the emperor agreed with their ideas, he would agree directly.

But now he is still doing maps without maps, what does he want to do? ?

Li Qian moved his eyes on the map, and soon found Sizhou: "In the past, as far as Chu State was concerned, Sizhou was isolated in the northeast corner. Even if Chu State wanted to counterattack Wu State, they had to take back their Yingdu first. Sizhou is still one hundred and eight thousand miles away, and the Sizhou garrison does not seem to be able to defend against Chu."

"The garrison in the rear is also a deterrent." Yang Jian added without blushing.

Li Yuan suddenly pointed to the map and said, "The main thing is to defend Qi."

"To the north of Sizhou is Xiapi County, which was originally the territory of the State of Qi, but was later captured by the State of Wu. However, the State of Wu did not garrison here, so it is equivalent to abandoning this place. Now the imperial army has not sent a large army to attack, but only a small number of troops. The horses took over Xiapi."

"Your Majesty, to the east of Xiapi County is Qi State Donghai County. If Qi State sends troops from the East China Sea, enters Xiapi, and crosses Sizhou, you can take Xuyi."

Li Gan nodded slightly, it was not impossible.

The place of Xiapi is very magical. Qi State once appointed a doctor there, named Zou Ji, who was a very famous handsome man.

This place is close to Surabaya, Yishui, and Wushui River from the north to circle the city and meet Surabaya. It not only takes advantage of water transportation, but also facilitates irrigation, fishing and hunting. The soil is fertile and the products are rich.

But a few years ago, it was taken away by Wu Guo.

It's not that Wu Guo didn't want to garrison troops in Xiapi. No one would be willing to lose such a precious place. They really couldn't keep it.

Compared with the large territory behind the Wu Kingdom, this place is equivalent to hanging out alone. As long as the imperial court breaks through Sizhou, it will be equivalent to an enclave, and it will soon be destroyed by itself.

Coupled with the scarcity of Wu soldiers compared to the imperial court, it is natural to use good steel on the blade.

And Li Qian of Donghai County to the east of Xiapi naturally knew it too.

This Donghai is the place where crystals are produced, and Donghai County is the county seat of Donghai County.

His first telescope is about to be completed, thanks to Donghai Crystal.

After Li Yuan explained, he remained silent for a moment, staring at Li Gan.

The place where the imperial court has laid down, can't let Qi Guo pick the peaches, right?
Moreover, this Xiapi was originally the place of Qi State, so it is understandable for them to take it back, and it can stand morally.

He then added in a deep voice: "If the imperial court has soldiers and horses stationed in Sizhou to intimidate Xiapi, Qi State will not dare to move lightly, but if the imperial court does not station troops here, Qi State will definitely sneak in and steal my city."

"Furthermore, Sun Wu, the former great general of the state of Wu, has already returned to Qi. He will be in charge of soldiers and horses. This man uses soldiers like a god, and he is full of tricks. You must garrison troops to defend him."

Qi State did not dare to confront the imperial court head-on, but stealthily stealing a city that once belonged to them probably had the guts.

Li Qian shook his head lightly, Qi State is about to have civil strife, and the famous Tashiro Jiang Qi may not be far away.

He shook his head slightly, looked at Linzi, the capital of Qi State on the map, and said lightly: "Uncle Huang is worried, it is not unreasonable. I have heard some rumors in the capital recently that the King of Qi is going to be too busy to take care of himself. I will think about going south again.”

Now is not the time to hide, if you don't come up with some facts, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince these people.

In order to keep the power of the generals in balance, Li Qian felt that he could only show his hand a little...

But on the other side, Li Yuan, Yang Jian and others were stunned when they heard the words. Even Li Jing looked at Li Qian in shock and inexplicable. He didn't expect him to say such a sentence suddenly.

Where did this rumor come from?Are we out of touch with the situation?

"Your Majesty, why did you say that?"

Li Yuan frowned and stared at him: "With Sun Wu in Qi State, it is time to expand everywhere. It coincides with such a good opportunity, how could they give up?"

"It's just some rumors in the city, His Majesty doesn't need to pay attention to it."

Li Gan sighed secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, what I said is that the king of Qi is too busy to take care of himself, not the state of Qi. I heard from some students of the state of Qi in the city that Qi Wangde is not worthy. Disaster is imminent, you all go to the city to find a few students from Qi State, and you will know as soon as you ask."

Some words are enough to say halfway, he is not Wei Zheng after all, so he can't explain everything in a big way.

You can't just say here that the powerful officials of Qi State are plotting to usurp the throne, right?Is Qi going to change its king?
It is easy for those who are present and those who are not present to have some bad associations with words like usurping the throne by a powerful minister, and they will think that Li Gan is mocking them... It would be bad if they forced people to jump over the wall in a hurry.

"King Qi..."

After Qin Hui muttered absentmindedly, he was the first to react and shut his mouth hastily.

No matter whether they thought about it or not, the other few people didn't show any clues on their faces, and stared intently at the extremely attractive map.

Li Gan looked at the map and continued: "Whether this rumor is true or not, I thought that Sun Wu once led the soldiers of Wu State to take Qi State to the Pi, but once he returned to Qi State, he would take control of Qi State's army, which would only aggravate Qi State. Domestic turmoil."

"Instead of stationing troops to defend, it is better to take advantage of this civil strife and order the imperial army to take Wu as soon as possible. As long as the 300,000 troops are free, they may not dare to take Xiapi even if they put Xiapi on the mouth of Qi."

Li Qian knew that Tashiro and Jiang Qi had happened for several generations, but Li Yuan and the others couldn't predict the future situation, they were just shocked by such heavy news for a while.

Li Qian looked at their expressions, and said with a light smile: "However, if there is a civil strife that is not well-known in Qi, and the 300,000 forbidden troops are in such a nearby area of ​​Wu, it may be possible to send troops to the north to put an end to the chaos in Qi and clear the source. ..."

His smile was like a devil, arousing the desire in the hearts of several people present.
