Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 709
The mood of the Jurchens who were still complacent about the restoration of the country suddenly fell to freezing point.

And they also feel a little ridiculous, they finally have to rely on the strongholds established by the Han people to resist the attack of the Mongols.

However, after they sacrificed hundreds of warriors, the letter of credence from the Kingdom of Jin asking for help was finally handed over to Li Qingwei.

After reading it, Li Qingwei called all the ministers to discuss.

However, the so-called ministers were actually only Li Qing'an, Zhuge Qingyun, and Song Ci.

Li Qingwei still didn't speak, and planned to listen to everyone's opinions first.

Li Qing'an said at this time: "This is a big matter, we have to think about it long-term. After all, the strength of the Mongols cannot be shaken by us in a short time. Although I feel a little sorry for the Jin people, if we raise troops, I am afraid that we will not be sure of victory." .”

But Zhuge Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not the case. We should send troops at this time, and then form a confrontation with the Jinren. If the Jinren are destroyed, then we may be alone. Add four toads Two strengths, not to mention those living people. We have the firearms of the Tang Sect as our support. During this period of time, the Weichen has acted as a lieutenant and trained a group of new troops. With them, the Mongols must not be our opponents. Even if we don't win, we won't lose."

Li Qingwei looked at Song Ci at this moment, and Song Ci stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister does not understand the art of war, but only understands the state affairs. Throughout the ages, the power of a great power has served the people. Right now, the Jinren have sent a conjugal princess and concluded an alliance with us." , if we go back on our promises, we may not be able to convince the public. I am afraid that we will not be able to stand up in the eyes of the small countries in the future."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Li Qingwei finally said: "Everything you said is very reasonable. If we go back on our promises and refuse to send troops, we may be criticized by others, but if we send troops and cannot be saved, then it is the Jinren himself." We can’t support it, and we can’t blame us. Now this is a good opportunity. A good opportunity to fight the Mongols.”

"Decisive battle?" Everyone exclaimed.

Li Qing nodded slightly and said: "That's right, the Mongols in the pass are suppressed by us in Yanping City right now, and the remaining troops in the Mongolian grasslands should not be many. Although the Jin people are not strong, they fell after less than half a month." The large area of ​​land must be due to the breakdown of our negotiations with Mongolia, and the Mongols brought back the army from the western expedition. Otherwise, the general Mongolian army would not have such combat power."

"The Mongol Empire's most honorable guards are the more than 30 elites of the Western Expedition. If we destroy them in the first battle, it will completely shake the Mongol Empire, and even make it split. And wiped out their main force, At that time, the sword hanging over our heads will completely disappear."

"And we can turn passive into active. At that time, it will not be when the Mongols want to attack us, but whenever we want to attack him, we will attack him. We can even drive them away from the expelled from our heads."

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Qingyun said: "This is indeed a once-and-for-all solution. If we can succeed in one battle, then at least within a hundred years, the Mongols will not pose any threat to us. The world will usher in real peace. We can also truly recuperate with the people.”

Li Qing nodded slightly and said: "What the prime minister said is very true. Therefore, we need to attract the Mongolian army to fight us in one place. As long as they come to fight us, we can wipe them all out."

Zhuge Qingyun said at this time: "However, it may be difficult to wipe out all of them. The grassland outside the Great Wall is the territory of the Mongols. In the past, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty failed in decisive battles with the main force of the Huns. A lot of money and food were wasted. Presumably The Mongols are not stupid enough to fight us decisively."

Li Qing smiled and said: "It's natural. Although the Mongols have the bravery of wolves, it doesn't mean they don't have the cunning of foxes. But we can put an extra decent bait, and they will definitely come over."

Zhuge Qingyun looked at Li Qingwei's smiling face, as if he had guessed something, his expression changed.

He quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty must not!"

Hearing what he said, Li Qingwei also knew that he had guessed it. Li Qingwei stood up and said: "There is nothing wrong. If we want to attract the Mongolian army to fight with us, the 30 Mongolians in Yanping City are not the best bait. Mongolia If people attack from all fronts, it will be difficult for us to resist, we can only gather them in one place and annihilate them."

"And the bait that is enough to attract them is me! If the emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally led the conquest, I believe this bait is very attractive."

After listening to Li Qingwei's words, Li Qing'an stood up and said, "Isn't this too dangerous? Why don't I go! You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If anything happens to you, the empire we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant." overthrow."

Li Qingwei looked at his brother and said: "Brother, you are serious. There will be no accidents in this battle. Besides, it's not something you can solve on the spot."

Zhuge Qingyun still wanted to say something, but Li Qingwei said: "The prime minister doesn't need to say anything more, has I done anything that I'm not sure about?"

After listening to Li Qingwei's words, Zhuge Qingyun also shut his mouth.

But there are no absolutes. Li Qingwei is really going to put all his eggs in one basket this time. If he succeeds, there will be no war in a hundred years. He can fight whoever he wants. If he fails, he may die. After all, no matter how strong he is, Break a hundred with one, break a thousand with one.

Unless he has Di Shitian's phoenix blood, otherwise, he doesn't have the bravery to defeat 10 people.

Li Qingwei insisted on going his own way, and everyone had no way to persuade him, so they could only follow his advice and prepare for the royal conquest.

And the news of the previous dynasty was quickly transmitted back to the harem.

Li Qingwei's wives, big and small, were all blown away.Not to mention the wives, even the concubine Li Guo and Yang Chan who was stationed outside followed everyone to Zichen Palace.

Today is the most crowded time for everyone to arrive.

And this scene is very tempting, my beautiful wives and concubines are gathered together, and most of them have their stomachs upright, especially Zhao Jue, she is the first to conceive a child, and in a month or two Almost ready for production.

As for Zhao Ke, Guo Fu's belly was already the size of a pillow.

The first to speak was Queen Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke said: "For war, there are generals. There are civil and military officials. Why do you have to go to the imperial conquest?"

Yang Chan also said at this time: "Yeah, you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the sisters, Xiao Jue is going to give birth in a few days, and they are all pregnant now, if you have any accidents , what can they do!"

Duan Siying also said at this time: "You are too eager for quick success. Although I don't know much about state affairs, I also know how to take it slowly. Right now, we can completely switch from offense to defense and consume slowly. Why do we have to play a battle to decide?" What about Qiankun?"

Li Guo and Wan Yanping looked at each other, and Wan Yanping also said: "Sisters are right, although we have an alliance with Jin Guo, if we can save it, then we will save it, but right now we can't do anything And, you can't act impulsively. Although my sister and I belong to the clan of the Jin Kingdom, we are also your wives and concubines."

Li Qingwei just smiled and said nothing when facing them.
