Chapter 725 Chapter 0736 Join forces
There was a lot of discussion in the Jincheng court, and all the princes felt that they should sever ties with Soochow in order to demonstrate justice.
Adou, who was sitting on the throne, was also a little wavering.
In the past few years, while the Han Dynasty was recuperating, it also put down the rebellion in the south.
Compared with when he first came to the throne, the country's power has become increasingly stronger. Although the people's corvee labor is a bit too many, every household can have enough to eat all year round and no longer needs to go hungry.
In today's world, the people do not have to go hungry, and the government can be fair and honest, and act in accordance with the law, so that the wealthy families do not dare to take arbitrary plunder. Where else can there be except the big man?
Not to mention that Hanzhong and Yuexi also opened special schools so that children from Cangtou, Guizhou Province, could also have the opportunity to attend school.
Let’s just talk about this matter. This is something that can only happen when the wise king and holy lord are alive and culture and education are prosperous.
Therefore, the common people of the Han Dynasty rarely complained.
Coupled with the great victory at Longyou, it greatly inspired the hearts of the Han scholars and the people.
In this case, the statement "With the strength of a big Han, it may not be impossible to beg thieves, so why beg from Soochow" does make many people think it is reasonable.
In this kind of discussion atmosphere, even the honest boy Adou is a little arrogant: all the gentlemen are saying this, I guess they are not wrong.
Ming Jun Holy Master, you really need to pay attention to the opinions of everyone.
Of course, the most important thing is to listen to your father’s opinion.
It's just such a big matter, and my father-in-law is far away in Hanzhong, so at this time, I can only let the princes of the court discuss it first.
Then the results of the court meeting will be sent to Hanzhong for the Prime Minister to review, so that the Prime Minister can also know what the opinions of the princes in the court are.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person who no one expected stood up and published a book "Refusating Duanjue and Wu Mengyueshu".
"The speaker today said that Sun Quan was determined to stay at the foot of the tripod and did not want to advance northward. This statement is specious and false, but it is actually deceiving Your Majesty. Why?
Soochow Wu did not want to advance northward, but it was actually because of its lack of intelligence that it relied on the river to protect itself. In the past, Sun Quan took advantage of the victory at Chibi and attacked Hefei from the north but failed.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, after Sun Quan negotiated with the late emperor to divide Jingzhou peacefully, he personally led a large army to attack Hefei, but was defeated by Wei general Zhang Liao with 800 riders.
In the fourth year of Jianxing, Cao Pi, the leader of the bandits, died. Sun Quan led another army to attack Jiangxia, but failed and returned without success. This so-called lack of intelligence means crossing the river, and it means not wanting to go to the north bank.
In the past, the first emperor wanted to resist Cao Cao's thieves in the north, and also wanted to swallow up Sun Quan in the east. In the end, he hated Yong'an. The defeat of Yiling is still vivid in my mind.
How does your majesty’s literary talent and military strategy compare with that of the previous emperor? Now, can the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty serve as advisors and generals under the late emperor?
If not, how can we say that it is good to cut off the relationship between Han and Wu? Therefore, I believe that it is not appropriate to expose Sun Quan's crime of arrogance at this time. "
After finishing reading, Adou was shocked. It was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head. His mind, which had just been swollen, suddenly cooled down.
Think about how talented the late emperor was, and how many counselors and brave generals he had. He still had the hatred of Yong'an, how about returning to himself?
Just seeing the name of the owner of this memorial, Adou couldn't help but frown: "Li Ping?"
Li Yan, the former governor of Jiangzhou and the Central Protector who nominally controlled the Chinese and foreign military forces, finally returned to Jincheng, changed his name to Li Ping, and wrote a memorial to oppose the alliance proposed by most people to eliminate Wu.
As soon as Li Ping's memorial was delivered, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The princes of Gonggun in the DPRK may not be ignorant of the disadvantages of severing the alliance with Soochow.
But political correctness is always correct, and the correct line may not always be correct.
Anyway, it is absolutely politically correct to shout against Sun Quan's proclaimed emperor, not to mention that the line may still be correct?
So how did everyone choose? It was just natural. I didn't see that the Prime Minister's Liufu Chief Shi and Join the Army didn't say anything?
Li Ping, on the other hand, dared to be the first to say such words, which is really eye-catching.
Someone just heard a sneer: "If the Han Dynasty rebuked Sun Quan for trespassing, wouldn't the Zhongduhu just stay in Jiangzhou to supervise the army in case Soochow moves to the west? Why did the Zhongduhu oppose severing the alliance?"
Anyway, it is not a secret that the prime minister wants to abolish the governor of Jiangzhou, but Li Ping has been delaying staying in Jiangzhou, so this has been delayed.
This approach naturally made many people in the DPRK angry.
Coupled with the trust in the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, there are many people who believe that Li Ping has lost power. Some people make sarcastic remarks, which is most normal.
Li Ping looked at the people sitting there and said calmly: "Do you want to argue with a certain court?"
As the Central Protector, he had been the second auxiliary minister of the Han Dynasty before he fell. Even the emperor had to treat him with courtesy.
Xu Ci sat in his original position and stood up, "Why not? In the past, the general attacked Xiangfan, Wanluo was shaken, and Cao Cao was almost tempted to move the capital. If Sun Quan was determined to go north, why would he attack Jingzhou from behind?"
This question made Li Ping, who was trying to put on a show, almost lose his temper and wanted to beat the old man to death on the spot.
How do you want me to respond to this kind of question?
Do you want me to say that Guan Yu has a problem?
So he flicked his sleeves and looked up, deliberately not looking at Xu Ci: "The loss of Jingzhou has been concluded for a long time. What did the princes say back then? Do you want to point it out one by one?"
He bowed to Adou who was sitting at the top and said, "Your Majesty, you know that I have sinned against you, but the world can learn from a certain public spirit in your spring and autumn."
There was a slight roar of laughter in the court hall.
Li Ping dares to say that he has a public heart?
At that time, he was appointed as the prefect of Qianwei, and he was able to force Yueqi Xiaowei (Yang Hong) to withdraw.
After becoming the governor of Jiangzhou, he forced Wang Chong, the general of Yamen, to surrender to the Wei people, and also leaked the Han's Qu Yuan Li to Wei.
Not to mention what he has done in the past two years, if he is truly public-minded, then who is Yueqi Xiaowei, who is loyal to the public and cares about his family as much as he cares about his family?
This roar of laughter made Li Ping look extremely ugly.
He thinks so highly of himself that even those with equal status to him rarely interact with him. Only the prime minister can write to him.
Now that he is in danger of losing power, he has to endure this humiliation. His chest is heaving and he is extremely angry.
He felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, and was about to rebuke loudly.
At this time, it was Yang Hong who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Sun Quan's arrogance and proclaiming the emperor is indeed a treason."
"But even if the Han Dynasty pacifies Longyou now, it will only have four more counties, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the land of Cao Cao's ten states."
"If the alliance of Dongwu is eliminated at this time, the Han Dynasty will have four counties and one state to fight against Cao's thief Sun Wu and twelve states. How difficult is it? Therefore, the old minister believes that what the Central Protector said is indeed reasonable."
Yang Hong stood up to support Li Ping, which was unexpected.
Adou respected Yang Hong. When his father-in-law was on the Northern Expedition, something happened to Li Ping in Jiangzhou. It was Yang Hong who was seriously ill and offered advice to Adou, which made him feel at ease.
If it were someone else who agreed with Li Ping, Adou would have suspected there was some collusion.
But Yang Hong agrees with Li Ping's words, which means that Li Ping's words do have some truth.
…
People in the Xinghan Hui breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Li Ping, the Central Protector, was the first to stand up against the alliance with Wu.
Even if they don't have to go to court, they know that breaking an alliance with Wu is possible in theory, but it is not easy to actually do it.
As they contributed a lot during the Northern Expedition, they clearly knew how difficult it was to supply food and grass to the Northern Expedition army last year.
Just the Yunnan horses used by Dongfeng Express lost a lot last year.
Had it not been for the rapid growth of Yunnan horses, they could start carrying most of the horse's weight in one and a half years, and the new horses produced by Yuexun Ranch may not be able to fill the gap.
Coupled with the fact that there are many Yi people in Hanjia County in the north of Yuexi and Qiang and Di tribes that raise horses, this can keep Dongfeng express transportation flowing smoothly.
So everyone at the Xinghan Hui finally understood what Li Yi said that day.
At the same time, due to the movement of Cao's thieves in Guanzhong in the north, Li Feng led 20,000 Jiangzhou troops north to support Hanzhong.
Xiang Chong was appointed as the prefect of Bajun and governed Jiangzhou.
Chen was appointed as the governor of Yong'an and the prefect of Badong to govern Yong'an.
Guanzhong Cao thief's change, Lian Jiangzhou soldiers also had to go north to suppress the voice of the Eastern Wutong League.
The Prime Minister has already vaguely expressed an attitude towards the mobilization of the Han army.
As expected, the memorial from the Prime Minister's Office in Hanzhong was quickly delivered to Jincheng.
Not only did Li Li agree with Li Ping’s statement, he also pointed out:
If you break the Soochow alliance, you will become enemies with Soochow. At that time, the Han Dynasty will definitely increase its troops to the south to confront Soochow. This will only allow the Northern thieves to get their hands on the plan and is not a wise choice.
The two auxiliary ministers of the Han Dynasty had an extremely rare agreement and finally overwhelmed all objections.
The dramatic reversal caught people off guard.
Although this change is like seeing flowers in the smoke and is very unpredictable, Li Ping handed over the military power in his hands, indicating that the dispute between the two auxiliary ministers has finally come to an end.
The results were expected, but also somewhat unexpected.
Li Feng led 20,000 Jiangzhou troops to reinforce Hanzhong, which greatly increased the military power that the Prime Minister's Office in Hanzhong could mobilize.
Because some of the 20,000 Jiangzhou soldiers were handed over to Li Ping by the late emperor before his death, and they were rare elite soldiers.
Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, transferred Li Feng to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a military counselor.
The turmoil in Shu did not affect Feng Yong.
In June in Longyou, there was no large-scale locust plague that Xu Erniang was worried about.
The Hu people believe in the God of Heaven, the God of Mountains, and the God of Sheep, but they don’t seem to believe in the God of Locusts.
Feng Xiaowei gave an order, not only to irrigate the land with more water before the locusts came out, but also to cull the locusts after they came out before they could fly.
Dog Manager Duanmu Zhe transferred many good dogs from Nanxiang and opened a dog farm in Pingxiang to guard the chickens and ducks day and night.
Li Tong took the people assigned to him to hatch and breed the chickens and ducks that had been raised for half a year, so that they could freely roam around the mountains and fields.
Although a lot of things were taken away by wild foxes, weasels and the like, which caused considerable losses, as long as we can stop the locust plague, it is worth it.
The advantages of grassroots officials using school students and Nanxiang soldiers from Nanxiang are shown.
The execution ability is extremely high. As soon as a piece of official document is issued, coupled with the inspection team sent to the local area, and the Hu people's land under the jurisdiction of the Qiang Colonel, everyone starts to move.
If you don’t want your grassland to be gnawed away by locusts this year, just do what the government says!
If you don’t want to starve to death when the White Disaster comes this year, just do what the government says!
It makes no sense to get whipped if you don’t do it.
Anyway, Feng Junhou is the descendant of the mountain god, so his words must be right.
Compared with the rule of the Colonel Huqiang, under the rule of the Longyou Dudufu, a small area of locust plague occurred.
Although Feng Yong has reminded this matter, some things cannot be avoided if you know they will happen.
Doubts, slow efficiency, even resistance from local village elders, and so on.
It would be good to cull locusts when they appear, but do you want to control them before they appear?
Thinking too much.
Who would believe that there is no trace?
Even if you believe it, you don’t get money or food for doing this kind of thing?
Who will pay for this money and food?
So the emergence of locust plague is inevitable.
This Longyou says it is not big, it is not small.
Now Mr. Zhao is leading the army to inspect Xiaoguan. Feng Yong received Deng Zhi's request for help, so he sent Li Tong and people from the breeding farm to drive a group of chickens and ducks there.
Actually, these are all small things.
The real big event is the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Cao thieves in Guanzhong for various passes in Hanzhong and Longyou.
Wei Yan led his army along the Chencang Road, exited Dashan Pass, and saw Chencang who was waiting in full formation.
Chancang City is small and strong, blocking the exit of Chencang Road. In addition, the terrain is narrow, making it difficult to attack the city.
In addition, Cao Zhen knew that the Xiegu Road was impassable. If the Han Dynasty wanted to leave the Pass from Hanzhong, they would have to go through Chencang. Therefore, since the Battle of Longyou, he had vigorously built the city.
Although the prime minister just asked Wei Yan to test it out, there was no need to actually attack the city.
But Wei Yan was eager to achieve success. He originally planned to attack Chencang if he was really unprepared, so as to deter Cao's thieves.
Unexpectedly, even after attacking several times, they all retreated without success.
Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Qiao, who had joined the army, was admonishing him, Wei Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat bitterly.
The Han army appeared at the gate of Chencang City. Cao Zhen, who was guarding Chang'an, was really shaken and personally led his army to reinforce.
At the same time, I heard that the opponent was led by the Han general Wei Yan, and I was still lucky. If I had a chance to intercept this Han army, I would be able to wash away the shame of last year.
Who would have thought that Wei Yan could retreat just as quickly as he came, so Cao Zhen couldn't help but pause and sigh: "How timid the Shu captives are!"
The news of Wei Yan's defeat at Chencang reached Feng Yong, which made the broad-minded Feng Junhou gloat: "This old man Wei, how could you embarrass me back then!"
When Guan Ji on the opposite side heard what he said, she threw a card: "touch!"
Then she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alang is now a prince after all. In terms of position, he is not inferior to General Wei. He should work together to destroy the thieves. If someone had listened to what he said just now, I'm afraid he would have said Alang is narrow-minded."
It was Zhang Xingyi's turn to draw a card. His big eyes narrowed, and it seemed that he had picked up a good card.
Then throw out a two-cylinder.
Feng Yong clicked his tongue and glanced at her angrily.
Zhang Xingyi held her head high, with a proud smile, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "What are you looking at? I just won't let you eat!"
“There is a saying in my school,” Feng Yong hummed. “There is a saying: Don’t bully a young man who is poor. Twenty years to the east of the river, twenty years to the west of the river. When he bullied me back then, did he ever think of today?”
If he could talk to him well and build a good relationship back then, no wonder he would still have an engineering battalion to protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
Amei carefully picked up a card, first looked at Feng Yong, then at Guan Ji, and hesitated.
“Hurry up.”
Zhang Xingyi was anxious, and it was obvious that she was almost confused.
Amei’s hand trembled and she threw out a card.
“Confused!”
Guan Ji quickly caught him.
Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi both glared at Amei: "How many are these?"
This girl definitely did it on purpose to feed her mistress so comfortably!
What a great brain?
