A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1098 Fighting for the handsome seal
Spring rain is as precious as oil, and it keeps falling.

In the thatched cottage, Wu Huaiyu falls.

Shangguan Yi said helplessly, "Teacher's chess skills are still so good, the students feel ashamed."

"Chess is all about layout. Whoever sees further will win in the end." Wu Huaiyu said with a smile.

Shangguan Yi packed up the chess pieces.
Lift the boiled water to make tea and divide the tea.

"Teacher just mentioned the situation in the Western Regions. Do you want to lead an expedition to the Western Regions?"

Wu Huaiyu held up the tea cup, and the aroma of tea overflowed.

It's not that he wants to take command in the Western Regions, nor is he trying to compete with Hou Jun for the position. In fact, many generals in the court who have good relations with Wu Huaiyu are coming to Wu Huaiyu to ask him to take command.

General Zuo Yulin Cheng Yaojin told him directly yesterday that he was willing to be the deputy general to let Wu Huaiyu take command of the Western Expedition, and he could not let that son of a bitch Hou Junji take command.

Although Qin Qiong and Li Jing retreated, they all hoped that he could lead the army this time.

If Wu Huaiyu didn't come out, no one would be able to compete with Hou Junji.

Therefore, during this crisis in the Western Region, he advocated the use of troops against Gaochang and Yugushe. He would take command and destroy the small country of Gaochang, and then defeat Yugushe to establish a contribution to the destruction of the country.

Anyway, there are many factions;

Li Jing and Qin Qiong will not come out.
Li Ji, Li Daozong and other emperors did not use it either.
The one who can suppress Hou Junji is Wu Huaiyu.

Hou Junji also wanted to take command of the Western Expedition this time, and his recommended deputies included Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui and others.

Li Jing had been working on military affairs behind closed doors for several years, but this time he also submitted a letter to lead the Western Expedition, but the emperor had no intention of appointing Li Jing.

Wu Huaiyu actually wanted to go back to Lingnan.

Li Jing was also from the Guanlong clan.

As for Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Xu Luoren and others, they are related to Guanlong.

But now not only Cheng Yaojin came to him and asked him to lead the Western Expedition, but also his father-in-law Fan Xing, his father-in-law Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Xingze, Yunshi Deyun, Duanyun Shitai, Li Xiuxing, etc. I have looked for Wu Huaiyu.

Wu Huaiyu also knew why Hou Jun wanted to lead the Western Expedition when he was the prime minister. He was the prime minister in the court, but after all he lacked some merits and qualifications. He had been the prime minister for more than three years and had not made any representative achievements. .

Li Daliang and Zhang Liang were actually also born in Wagang, but they were only from collateral families before.

Only Wu Huaiyu can suppress Hou Junji by standing up.

After drinking a pot of tea,

Others, such as Niu Jinda, Liu Lancheng, Li Junxian and even Guo Xiaoke and Fan Xing, all hope that Wu Huaiyu will take command.

Hou Junji has gained power in recent years, and Cheng Yaojin and others from the Wagang clan, especially those who have a good relationship with Wu Huaiyu, have naturally been suppressed to some extent.

I want to go to Luzon even more.

Military generals also have mountain factions,

Everyone asked Wu Huaiyu to come out and lead the Western Expedition.

One of the stronger hills is of course the Wagang system. There are also several hills in the Wagang system, such as Li Ji, Guo Xiaoke and others, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others.

What Lao Cheng said was straightforward. If Hou Junji takes command, then none of them will have the chance to participate in the Western Expedition. But if Wu Huaiyu takes command, Lao Cheng will not be a deputy commander, but a pioneer head office.

Wu Huaiyu decided to return to Chang'an.
Although it is quiet here, after all, we cannot live in seclusion here forever.

He was willing to continue living like an ascetic for more than two years, but his wife, concubines, and children were not willing either.
Wu Huaiyu had no intention of returning to the Political Affairs Hall and being reinstated as prime minister, so it would be better to snatch Hou Junji's position as commander of the Western Expedition and let this guy be proud for more than two years.
It's time to go out and clean him up, otherwise we won't know what the world is like.

Ask Shangguan Yi to return to the palace to resume his duties, saying that he will return to Beijing tomorrow.

I have lived in the thatched cottage for more than two years, but after I got used to it, the thing I was most reluctant to part with was the little white deer.

Wu Huaiyu went to his brother Huaiyi's thatched cottage.
Bailu followed clingily.

The three brothers' cottages were similar in layout and not far from each other, so they often visited each other.

Wu Huaiyu has been compiling books for more than two years, and has finished compiling Tongjian. Brother Huaiyi has been studying in the past two years, reading military books, history books and Huaiyu's Tongjian. Huaiyi is engaged in riding and archery, and is poor in culture. A little more,

Before coming to Guanzhong, he had never read a book in his hometown. Later, when he came to Sanyuan, he read some books with the old concubine Wang.

"Are you going back to Chang'an?"

Huaiyi put down the scroll in his hand and asked his brother. "Well, Your Majesty is sending people to remind you every day. It's impossible if you don't come back." Wu Huaiyu said.

"Go back to the political hall and still take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

"The Minister of Civil Affairs is now Tang Jian. He has done quite well in the past two years. I have no plans to return to the Political Affairs Hall, and that person may not want me to go back."

"Then what are your plans to return to Chang'an this time?"

"I want to go to the Western Regions. Brother, why don't we go together? Let us fight side by side and make achievements together?" Huaiyu said with a smile.

Huaiyi smiled.

"I remember when I was in Longyou and Shuofang, okay."

Huaiyi was originally the Deputy Protector of the Shanyu Protectorate and concurrently the Governor and Governor of Fengzhou. After Ding You, he was succeeded by Duan Zhixuan in this position.

Duan Zhixuan was Li Shimin's childhood friend and a confidant of the shogunate. He was very close to Hou Junji. Duan Zhixuan performed well in Saibei in the past two years.

In the original cold disaster, Xueyantuo in Mobei and the Turks in Monan were both severely affected. The imperial court gathered heavy troops in the north of the Great Wall. However, in the end, the Xueyantuo people went to attack the Western Turks, Shiwei, and Khitan, and even the Tiele tribes were involved, but they did not dare to cross. Athletes traveled south from the desert to the Tang Dynasty.

Northern Xinjiang is stable.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the emperor still allowed DTZ to return to the country. Li Simo led many Turkic tribes across the Great Wall, the Yellow River, and the Yin Mountains, and established Yating in Qinan. Six governors' offices were set up in various parts of the Turks to nomadic Qinan. The Tang Dynasty guarded the border.

Saibei and Xue Yantuo did not fight, and Duan Zhixuan certainly had a share of the credit.

Huaiyi and Ding are worried about the expiration of their term.
But it would be difficult to say that it would be difficult to go back and resume Shanyu's duties as Deputy Protector-General, Governor-General of Fengzhou, and Governor of Fengzhou.

Duan Zhixuan has done a good job there, and he has a backer in the court and a confidant of the emperor. Why should he give it to you again?

Wu Huaiyu planned to take his brothers to the Western Regions.

Make meritorious deeds together,
Make a gorgeous comeback with a battle to destroy the country.

"Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Anxi, has performed poorly in the Western Regions in recent years. With the current situation in the Western Regions like this, he has an unshirkable responsibility. After this Western Expedition, Guo Xiaoke will definitely not be able to serve as the governor of Anxi again,"

"Brother, after this war, how about you replace Guo Xiaoke as the Protector of Anxi and the governor of Gaochang?"

Wu Huaiyi laughed loudly. These words sounded a bit arrogant now, but Wu Huaiyi believed in his brother.

In the thatched cottage,
Wu Huaiyu decided to fight for the title of commander of the Western Expedition. He had even drafted a preliminary list of generals for the Western Expedition. With him as commander, Cheng Yaojin and Fan Xing could be appointed as deputy generals.

Then brother Huaiyi and senior brother Su Lie were the left and right vanguards,
You can also bring in Niu Jinda, Qiu Xinggong, Li Xiuxing and Yun Shide.
This is a dream lineup.

If Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Yuwen Chengdu, An Lushan and other young generals were brought along, not to mention the Gaochang Qu family, even Yibi Duolu Khan Yugushe would capture him.

"Why don't you bring the third child with you," Huaiyi said with a smile.

"The third child should let him return to Xunyang, Jiangzhou, to be his county magistrate." Wu Huaiyu said, it is easy to arrange for the reinstatement of the third county magistrate.

Anyway, the plan for Lao San was not to take the military route. Huai Liang wanted to take the civilian route, so there was no need to go to the Western Regions to join in the fun.

Simply tidy up,
Wu Huaiyu left the thatched cottage where he had lived for more than two years.
"Xiao Bai, just stay here. Stay in Xianling. You are auspicious and no one dares to touch you."

When I left, the one I was most reluctant to leave was the little white deer.

The little white deer chirped, not wanting to leave.

Wu Huaiyu walked in front, and he followed behind, and finally followed him to Wu Jia'ao Manor in front of the mausoleum.

Forget it, let's just take it back to Chang'an. Anyway, the Wu family has a big zoo, so it's not difficult to get a piece of land for it.

Fan Xuanfu and the others were very happy to see that Wu Huaiyu was finally returning to Chang'an, so they quickly packed their things and went home.

·······
Chang'an,

In Tai Chi Palace,

After more than two years, Li Shimin finally met Wu Huaiyu again.
"I would like to lead the western expedition to Gaochang, attack Yugushe, and re-establish the Silk Road."

"Do you want to lead the Western Expedition?"

The emperor asked, seemingly surprised.
