The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 314 The Northern Expedition
"Father..."

Gao Zixuan cupped his fists: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work or not."

Beidi has always been a border problem of Dazhao for many years. The kings of all dynasties were worried when they said it. They should not treat the Beidi issue lightly or seriously. If it is light, they will be looked down upon by others. , come and go like the wind, and only make trouble behind you. After a long time, no one can stand it.

The kings of all dynasties wanted to solve this scourge, but they didn't have any good ideas.

Now Emperor Tianchen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Gao Zixuan had an idea. He didn't expect this ineffective son to have some talents.

"Say it!" He was very excited, ready to hear Gao Zixuan's idea.

The third prince also kept contemplating carefully, planning that if Gao Zixuan said something bad, he would make up for it.

Gao Zixuan said loudly: "My son's idea is to use his own way to deal with his own body. In the past, our Dazhao always put defense first against Beidi. This time, we will take the initiative to attack and also use cavalry. We don't need too much. There is no need for any support, starting from the border, each person brings two days of dry food and water, and then harassing and killing in Beidi."

After Gao Zixuan's words came to an end, Emperor Tianchen thought about it: "You have a good idea. In this way, you don't need too many soldiers. 2 horses will be enough. They will be divided into several teams, and the small tribes in Beidi will be selected to kill and destroy the small tribes. Tribes, the Beidi people who have been killed are terrified, and then destroy the big tribes."

"However!" The third prince had some doubts: "So, the delay is too long, what to do if there is no supply, the soldiers must eat well when fighting a war, how can they have the strength to fight and kill if they don't have food."

Gao Zixuan smiled: "Father, third brother, this is exactly what I want to say, we can fight the enemy by eating, so are they only allowed to thresh grain and grass on our side, can't we thresh grain and grass with them?"

His voice was a little grim: "My Dazhao cavalry killed, burned, and looted the land of Beidi, not only robbing their food and animals, but also killing their people. I don't believe it. The people of Beidi can bear it. It only takes [-] Soldiers, I can keep Dazhao safe for decades or a hundred years, and the people will no longer have to suffer from the harassment of Beidi."

Gao Zixuan's words were firm, decisive and indescribably cruel.

Even Emperor Tianchen and the Third Prince, who have always killed Youxin, couldn't help feeling chills, they all said, they didn't expect that Xiao Jiu was usually arrogant, smiling freely, and serious, but he had such aura.

In this way, Emperor Tianchen and the Third Prince gave Gao Zixuan a high look.

"It's just!" The third prince didn't say anything, and seemed to agree with Gao Zixuan's words, but Emperor Tianchen hesitated: "In this way, those courtiers will definitely object, we Dazhao pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, and this behavior of killing even civilians... in the end There is a lack of benevolence."

When Gao Zixuan heard this, he almost jumped up.

Shit benevolence and morality, benevolence and righteousness depends on who you are speaking to. To your own people, it is right to let the people of Dazhao live a better life. If you put your knife on your neck, people don't talk about benevolence and righteousness.

"Father!"

The third prince saw that Gao Zixuan was in a hurry, so he quickly stopped him: "My minister thinks that Jiudi's plan is feasible, and those ruthless scholars in the court have always been pedantic. Naturally, we can't let them go about marching and fighting. Please think about it, my lord. If you talk about benevolence and righteousness, Beidi will be able to retreat. If this is the case, why don't all those sour scholars go to the border to persuade them, if you really want to be able to persuade the people of Beidi, it would be a great achievement."

Seeing that the third prince agreed with his idea, Gao Zixuan's heart warmed up, he smiled at the third prince, turned around and knelt down on the ground: "Father, my son is willing to lead [-] cavalry north to share the father's worries. Beidi will never be destroyed in this life, and he will never return." return."

These words shocked Emperor Tianchen, and he looked at Gao Zixuan in disbelief.

I really didn't expect that this son actually has such a face, firm, cold and full of confidence. It's not the same Bujiu who can't help but smile, it's clearly another person.

Sighing, Emperor Tianchen thought to himself, his son has grown up, but unfortunately, he has no chance to get along with his son again.

Although he was happy with Gao Zixuan's request and had the attitude of sharing his worries, Emperor Tianchen didn't want Gao Zixuan to lead the army to go out. There were not no generals in the court who were good at fighting, and he didn't want to put Gao Zixuan in danger.

For Gao Zixuan, Emperor Tianchen still loves Gao Zixuan very much in his heart. Unlike the third prince, the third prince is the successor that Emperor Tianchen places high hopes on. Enjoy the affection between father and son.

He absolutely doesn't want Gao Zixuan to be in any danger. A place like Beidi is cold and desolate, and the people are aggressive. How could Gao Zixuan, a prince who has been pampered and raised, endure such a harsh environment, let alone the war that surrounds him? .

Thinking about it, Emperor Tianchen felt distressed, how could he agree.

"Okay!" He smiled: "Xiao Jiu's idea is good, I will discuss it with civil and military officials at the court, but I can't let Xiao Jiu go, it's not that there are no generals in the court, you go What does it look like."

Emperor Tianchen originally thought that as long as he rejected Gao Zixuan's request, Gao Zixuan would stop and say nothing.

It's a pity that he was wrong about this son. Gao Zixuan didn't mean to obey at all, but instead nodded heavily: "Father, the son grew up under the care of the father. The son was unfilial before, which made the father worry a lot. Every time I think about it, I can’t wait to slap myself a few times. This time Beidi is coming in a menacing way, and my son knows what his father is worried about. This Northern Expedition did not happen overnight. There are countless dangers during it, not to mention going deep into the enemy army. I can't say what kind of things will happen. If other generals are allowed to lead the army, not to mention the father, even the son will not be at ease. Who knows if we will be tempted by the enemy to join the enemy? In vain."

Gao Zixuan's words are extremely sincere: "The son just wants to live so long, and the father will worry about everything. The son also wants to share some worries for the father. He is not talented, but he is still passable in martial arts. Besides, the son himself I have also learned a lot of art of war, and I am no worse than those generals, most importantly, my son is loyal to Dazhao, no matter what happens, he will never surrender to the enemy."

His voice became louder and his tone became firmer: "Please grant your son's request, father and emperor, and let him lead the army to march north, so as to relieve father's worries and labors."

What he said was so passionate that Emperor Tianchen's heart boiled when he heard it, and he looked at Gao Zixuan with a flushed face, almost in disbelief that the person kneeling on the ground and expressing his heartfelt words was his Xiaojiu.

"Your words..." Emperor Tianchen sighed: "I am so happy for my father, my Xiaojiu can also think about sharing my worries for me. It's not easy, Xiaojiu, get up."

Gao Zixuan smiled, and restored his old aura: "Father, what your son says is the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood."

"This is my letter!" Emperor Tianchen also laughed, and looked at the third prince again: "Third son, what do you think?"

The third prince's face sank like water: "Father, my son does not agree with Jiudi going."

In a word, Gao Zixuan was a little anxious. He worked so hard to plan for whom, not all for the third brother, but the third brother would only hold him back, why not let him go, he is a man, he deserves to live Standing upright, no matter what, he has to make some achievements, but the third brother can't say it. He said it so easily that the father was moved, but don't be because of what the third brother said, it really won't work.

"Third brother!" Gao Zixuan said angrily, "Why can't my younger brother succeed? Everyone is human, so why can't I go if other people can go? Third brother, don't block my way of making achievements just because you love me."

His words made the third prince's face even more ugly, and the cold air became heavier: "This king is also..."

"I know that third brother loves me very much. If third brother really loves me, after I leave, just take care of my family." Gao Zixuan quickly blocked the words of the third prince, and cupped his hands at Emperor Tianchen: "Father, my son The second time is determined to go, even if the emperor does not let the son lead the army, even if the son is given a small soldier to do it, the son is willing."

A child can't help his father.

Emperor Tianchen didn't know what to say, after seeing Gao Zixuan's hard heart, he couldn't stop him anymore, so he said: "I will discuss it with all the officials, if it is really feasible, I will let you lead the troops."

Gao Zixuan was overjoyed immediately, and thanked Emperor Tianchen again and again.

After saying a few more words, Emperor Tianchen looked a little tired, so he waved his hands to let the two of them retreat.

After leaving Yongchen Palace, the Third Prince grabbed Gao Zixuan, "Ninth Brother, you..."

Gao Zixuan had a serious look on his face: "Third brother, although the power of the crown prince and fifth brother has weakened a lot now, they have a profound background, which is incomparable to us brothers, and they are all supported by culture and military, especially fifth brother, Contacting hundreds of officials, and getting to know many young generals, I'm afraid... Alas, if the third brother wants to be in power, he can only be a solitary minister and a filial son, but we can't be unprepared at all, right? This opportunity has won the favor of several veteran officials in the court. Those people don’t care about anything except their military exploits. In addition, they can also use their military exploits to regain a lot of military power. Only then can we fight those two.”

The third prince wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He understood his own affairs. Although Emperor Tianchen had tried his best to pave the way for him, and he had placed people from his side in several films, but compared to the crown prince and the fifth prince After many years of operation, the background of the Dongfang family and the Huang family are still not as good.

If Gao Zixuan really took the military power and got the support of the veterans in the court, then their side would be much stronger than the other two sides, and they wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore.

Knowing that Gao Zixuan was thinking for the two of them, the Third Prince was still worried about Gao Zixuan's safety.

In the end, without saying anything, the Third Prince patted Gao Zixuan on the shoulder heavily, and left the palace alone.

When Gao Zixuan returned home, he didn't say anything, he still played with Yuechan and the children as usual, and seemed to spend his days leisurely and carefree.

Yuechan didn't know such a thing until one day when word came out from the court that the Ninth Prince would lead troops to conquer Beidi.

She was in a complicated state of mind, she suddenly lost her mind, angry that Gao Zixuan concealed such an important matter from her, and suddenly became dazed, afraid that Gao Zixuan's trip would be dangerous.
