Country color

Chapter 448
Zhang Xuansu heard Li Chongjiu's question, and immediately said: "This is the general strategy of the military and the country. The humble ministers and officials speak lightly, and dare not speak nonsense."

Li Chongjiu smiled, motioned for Zhang Xuansu to sit down, and then said: "I heard that when Zhang Sheren was under Dou Jiande's command, he often had strategies, and he saw what others couldn't see. Gu is hesitating here. Gu is not a master who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, nor does he allow his subordinates to disagree with him, as long as the words are appropriate, Gu is willing to listen to him."

Zhang Xuansu cupped his hands and said: "I am ashamed to say that if it is true that there is no strategy left, King Xia will not be defeated by Yishui. He has been favored by King Zhao for not killing him, so he will use my ministers around. The ministers can only repay with all their energy King Zhao is very kind."

Li Chongjiu said: "Then just say it straight."

Zhang Xuansu stroked his beard and frowned, seemed to be considering his words, and then said: "I think that governing the country is like curing a disease, and now Yan Yelie's rebellion has not occurred, but it is getting worse, just like a disease in the skin, if it is not cured, it will get worse. Since ancient times, all good doctors have treated the disease before it was cured, and the chaos before it was cured. The same is true for the country and the situation. After the turmoil occurs and the chaos is complete, it will be difficult to rectify it.”

Li Chongjiu said: "This statement is deep in my heart."

Zhang Xuansu cupped his hands and said: "Thus, although the internal strife in Yan Yelie's tribe is the beginning, if it is not handled properly, it will turn into chaos. In the whole dynasty, only the king and the chief guard have seen this, so I can understand it." , Why does the king want to personally conquer, because he is not at ease with others."

Li Chongjiu clapped his palms and laughed and asked, "Isn't there another Zhang Sheren above Manchao now? In your opinion, how to calm down?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "The king is over-reputed, and the humble minister is just an afterthought. The humble minister has three strategies..."

"Come quickly."

After Zhang Xuansu spoke to Li Chongjiu, Li Chongjiu was very satisfied, and said: "With Zhang Aiqing here, why worry about the injustice in the north, I just decided to conquest myself."

Zhang Xuansu said happily: "Your Majesty..."

General Li Chongjiu said: "However, Zhang Aiqing needs to do it for me. I decided to order you to supervise the army and assist General Xue in the northern expedition."

Zhang Xuansu was taken aback when he heard the words, and wondered why, could he be more qualified to supervise the army than Xue Wanche's elder brother, Xue Wanshu, the servant of Zheng Sanpin Zhongshu.

But when Zhang Xuansu saw Li Chongjiu smiling slightly, he suddenly realized, that's right, I had lost my mind, how could it be possible that the leading general and the military supervisor, who are both brothers, thought it was a good strategy, but it seems King Zhao had thought of this a long time ago.

Zhang Xuansu looked at Li Chongjiu and felt more and more unfathomable. Compared with Dou Jiande, Li Chongjiu is the master of the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to serve under the master of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be perfunctory. Can't escape Li Chongjiu's eyes.

However, only a person with Li Chongjiu's talents can hope to dominate the world. With his own talent, if he does not become famous under Li Chongjiu's command in the future, it will not be difficult for him to be famous in history.

Seeing that Zhang Xuansu didn't answer, Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I know you are worried about your lack of official position, but General Xue has always been upright and self-confident. If I send important officials to supervise the army, he will feel restrained and unable to perform. In this case, I might as well let him let go and act on his own. Zhang Aiqing only needs to assist and give a little advice. With your intelligence, you will definitely understand Gu's intentions."

Zhang Xuansu was in admiration at the moment, and at the same time understood that Li Chongjiu had no one to choose for his own conquest, and now he was appointed as the supervisor, but his own intention of conscripting himself was obviously a high regard for Zhang Xuansu.

At that moment Zhang Xuansu stood up and said: "Being appreciated by the King, I will fulfill my mission."

Zhang Xuansu only spoke here, and the inner court officials outside the door here reported that Wei Zheng came ill and wanted to see Li Chongjiu in person.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smiled and said to Zhang Xuansu: "Look, it's another lobbyist."

The two monarchs and ministers couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

When Wei Zheng, Zhang Xuansu persuaded Li Chongjiu to cancel the news, all the officials in Youzhou were overjoyed and clapped their hands to congratulate each other.

The next day Li Chongjiu mobilized [-] government soldiers and [-] township soldiers from Zhuojun, Anle County, and Shanggu County, making a total of [-] troops.With Xue Wanche as the head of the Saibei march, Zhang Xuansu as the supervisor, Wu Gunai and Tanzong as the generals, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin as the school lieutenants, they went out from Xiguan in Anle County to reinforce Wang Junkuo, the governor of Ruoshui Prefecture.

At the same time, Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Liaoxi County, was ordered to lead the army to send troops to Tudiji for reinforcements.

Liucheng, the prefecture of Liaoxi County.

To the north of Liucheng is Longcheng, the old capital of Yan.

When Dayan established its capital in Longcheng in the past, a pagoda was built here. It was the Siyan Buddha Picture built by Empress Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty for her grandfather Feng Hong, King of Northern Yan, to pray for longevity and peace and promote Buddhism. It was later destroyed by fire.In the second year of Renshou in Sui Dynasty, the imperial court rebuilt the pagoda.The pagoda is a seventeen-level pagoda, inside which is placed the relics of the Buddha, and the Fanzhu Temple is set up here, so good believers come from all sides to pay homage under the pagoda day and night.

At the beginning, the Murong family founded the capital in Longcheng. The emperors of all dynasties believed in Buddhism, so Yandi has always been a place where Buddhism flourished. After the relic, Yingzhou once again became the most prosperous place for Buddhism in Liaodong.

It has been three years since Li Chongjiu occupied Liucheng, and Liaoxi County has always been stable. Li Chongjiu has never stopped the Buddhist missionary.

In troubled times, Buddhism really has the effect of soothing people's hearts. In Liaoxi County, the tribes of Mohe and Dingling, the leaders of each tribe, and even the people of the tribes began to believe in Buddhism. Because of the exchanges between Han monks and monks, they gradually integrated into Sinicization.When Li Chongjiu heard the report from Yang Linfu, the magistrate of Liaoxi County, he didn't expect such help, so he happily allocated part of the money he was not rich to build two pagodas in Yingzhou.

After hearing this, believers of all ethnic groups in Yingzhou flocked to Liucheng to pay homage, so Liucheng became more popular in promoting Buddhism.

Therefore, after Guo Xiaoke took office in Liuzhou, he had a great sense of governance. The people of Dingling in western Liaoning were gentle and obedient.And there was no war on the border of Goguryeo, so Guo Xiaoke, who was about to flex his muscles, had nothing to do for a while, and could only train [-] township soldiers from the three counties in the county.

On this day, it was the warm spring and the flowers were blooming. At the Fanzhuan Temple in the north of the city, the sound of Buddhist scriptures was resounding, and believers gathered here.And the people of Liucheng also began to work hard for a day's livelihood.

Guo Xiaoke was wearing a military uniform, and was about to go out from the county guard's mansion to hunt with a dozen of his own soldiers.

Just at this time, a soldier came and said: "The envoy, Youjing Jibao, is written by King Zhao himself."

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback when he heard the words, and said to the left and right: "I almost thought that the surnamed Li dragged me between the mountains in the west of Liaoning and retired here."

Hearing Guo Xiaoke's disrespectful address to Li Chongjiu from left and right, they all pretended not to hear, Guo Xiaoke received the letter from the soldiers and looked at it for a while, and said happily: "This time is a bit interesting, you guys pack up, we won't go out. "

"Why?" The subordinates were disappointed when they heard that they could not hunt.

Guo Xiaoke said: "What are you asking, let Tudiji and Cui Xu come to the prefect's mansion to see me immediately."

In the county guard's mansion, Tudiji and Cui Xu sat together under Guo Xiaoke.

Cui Xu looked at the troop order for a while, and asked Guo Xiaoke, "Khan said he would send troops from Liaoxi County to reinforce Saibei, but why didn't the military order say how many troops to send?"

Guo Xiaoke said: "It's very simple. The king wants us to make our own decisions. Goguryeo is watching tigers by the Liaoshui River. If we send too many troops, the Goguryeo people may take advantage of it."
Tudiji said: "Now the Goguryeo people are spending a lot of manpower to build the Great Wall by the Liaoshui River. Once the Goguryeo people gain a firm foothold in the Liaoshui River, they are likely to invade and harass the south."

Guo Xiaoke said: "Since the Goguryeo people built the Great Wall in Liaoshui, they know that the enemy army has no intention of going south for the time being. Since the king gave the order, we must not neglect it."

Cui Xu and Tu Diji said together: "That's right."

Guo Xiaoke said: "Since this is the case, what if the Mohe tribe sends three thousand troops, the Ding Ling tribe sends two thousand troops, and the Han army sends two thousand troops?"

Both of them nodded and said, "That's right."

Besides, after Wang Junkuo led the army from Huaihuang and Yuyi two towns, the army traveled day and night for six days, and finally arrived at the bank of Wuhou Qinshui River.

At this moment, it is spring, the winter snow melts, small rivers are flowing everywhere on the grassland, and there are countless unknown lakes on the grassland. Lakes and rivers flow into Wuhou Qinshui in all directions.Wuhou Qinshui also swelled, blocking Wang Junkuo's army.

Wang Junkuo couldn't help frowning as he watched the water swell.

Liu Yi rode his horse to Wang Junkuo's side and said, "I'm going to tell you that the Wuhou Qinshui flows eastward, and after joining the Huangshui, it rushes to the Liaoshui and enters the sea. Once our army crosses the river, the Wuhou Qinshui and Huangshui will go to the sea. , that is, the tribe of Yan Yelie, and there are also Khitan people, Xi people, Turkic people, and Miao people."

Wang Junkuo raised his whip and said: "King Zhao set up the Ruoshui Prefecture Protectorate in Saibei, but my Ruoshui Prefecture Protectorate focuses on Huaihuang, Yuyi Second Township, which goes deep into the grassland, and even a fast horse will take four days. Cheng, it took six days for our army to march from Yuyi Town. Not to mention that the king's reinforcements from Youjing, Shanggu, Anle, and other counties in western Liaoning took more than ten days to arrive here. Exhausted."

Liu Yiyan said: "That's exactly the case. Unless we set up an important town like Huaihuang and Yuyi on the banks of the Wuhou Qinshui, we can only restrain this place, but not really control it."

Both Wang Junkuo and Liu Yi are well aware of the difficulties, because the various tribes live in this place, the situation is complicated, and it is far away from Yuyi and Huaihuang Towns, making it difficult for Zhao Guo to reach the power, so after the death of Yan Yelie, the people in the tribe, Under the instigation of Khitan, Turkic and other parties, they have the heart of rebellion.

Just at this time, an owner of the Xi family in a sheepskin jacket stepped forward and reported to Wang Junkuo, "I have reported to the Chief Protector that a Khitan man was caught, who claimed to be from the Yili Jin Qulie sect of the Fufuyu tribe. here."
