Chapter 481 Submit a letter asking for help
After all the cultivators expressed their opinions and weighed them up, Wei Yuan said: "Ding'an City will not give up, open the warehouse, activate the city defense formation dismantled from Hanyang Pass, and arrange it...here!"
Wei Yuan stretched out his finger, pointed at the high ground behind Ding'an City, and then drew a circle, covering the second half of Ding'an City including the city's main seat.
Wei Yuan said again: "Uncle Yu, please take someone to survey this area to see what kind of fortifications can be built as the second line of defense after Ding'an City is destroyed."
"Uncle Sun, we need to set up a wartime medical clinic now. I will give you the place where Jiamu Shengxuan is the most intense. There are still thirty days at most. You have to train as many apprentices as possible so that they know how to treat wounds."
Sun Yu nodded, and then said: "I also need a group of smart people for nursing. They must be literate."
Wei Yuan recalled the past when he was sprinkled with too much muscle powder in the Xuanming Palace, and immediately realized the importance of nursing, so he approved a thousand places for Sun Yu and asked him to select people by himself.
The old Taoist cultivator has already begun to cultivate the land on the front line. It is a kind of thorn grass that can grow freely if it is sown. It is the favorite grass of the poisonous lizards of the Wu tribe. Eating it helps digestion. But the batch cultivated by the old Taoist cultivator
The grass has naturally mutated, and the Gila monster will be poisoned if it eats it, and will be weak for at least seven or eight days.
Various miscellaneous matters were discussed, and finally Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said: "Issuing armor and weapons to mortals."
Everyone was silent.
Cui Yu said: "Recently, mortals have begun to want to leave Qingming, and hundreds of people have been intercepted at the border. How to deal with it?"
Bao Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Does this matter need to be discussed?"
Cui Yu suddenly woke up and said, "I know what to do."
Wei Yuan interrupted him and said: "It doesn't matter, I will make this decision. No one is allowed to leave Qingming. The old people and children who are completely unable to fight are gathered together and sent to Xuanwei Qi in the east to stay temporarily."
"Where's the caravan?"
"Caravans are free to come and go, but they are not allowed to take away strategic materials. In addition, rent escort troops from them, preferably on credit."
Next, Wei Yuan issued a series of orders in succession, mobilizing every ounce of Qing Mingli's strength to prepare for war.
Finally, Wei Yuan thought for a moment and asked Zhang Sheng: "Will Zhao Guo come to help?"
Zhang Shengdao: "After we are crippled, Zhao Guoguo will come."
"Then we can't count on them." Wei Yuan tapped the table unconsciously, and then resolutely said: "Openly ask for help from King Zhao! By the way, also ask for help from King Ji and Tang Shi!"
Zhang Sheng said calmly: "If you do this, you are openly slapping King Zhao in the face."
"If they had sent reinforcements earlier, it would not have been a slap in the face." Wei Yuan said.
Li Zhidao: "It is still possible for the Zhao State to send reinforcements. How about we wait first? Otherwise, with the current approach, King Zhao will become so angry that he may not send reinforcements at all. If Qing Ming makes a mistake, you will be short of a means."
Way out."
Wei Yuan said coldly: "Qing Ming can't hold on, what other way out do I have? But no one around me wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If Qing Ming is gone, at least their faces will not be wanted. In the history books,
I will leave a sum for them."
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Why don't Emperor Tang stop submitting the letter first?"
Wei Yuan said calmly: "If you don't write a letter to Emperor Tang, how can you let the historian record the shamelessness of King Zhao of Jin and his family?"
Cui Yu said: "I'll ask the family elders to come forward and see if I can persuade King Zhao."
Wei Yuan stopped talking and sighed: "Okay, you try it first, but you only have three days."
After the discussion was over, Li Zhi was left alone and said, "Brother Xian, why are you doing this? What if Zhao Guo just watches with cold eyes?"
Wei Yuan shook his head: "During the Karma Curse, I had enough of others watching indifferently. Now that a powerful enemy is approaching, I must use every possible strength. I just want to make King Zhao understand that if I don't save Qing
Hell, he has to pay the price too!"
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Why did you decide that King Zhao would not send troops?"
"intuition."
Li Zhi was stunned, and then sighed: "I originally thought that if we talk about it properly, King Zhao will still end up in the middle of the war. At most, we will give him some benefits."
Wei Yuan looked Li Zhi up and down, and suddenly asked: "Do you still have your magic weapon? It's best to be a substitute charm or something like that."
Li Zhi was a little confused and said, "I used up all the Karma Spell last time. What's wrong?"
"Hurry and prepare two more."
Li Zhi was instantly alert: "Do you think I am in danger of death? No, why didn't my luck warn me?"
Wei Yuan was a little surprised: "Does your luck still have this function?"
Li Zhidao: "The skills I practice are special, and luck can be used in many ways. When major dangers arise, I will have a whim in advance. Wait a minute, I have a magic weapon..."
Li Zhi took out a pure black pearl and said: "This is the Erhai Shark Pearl. It can test the current luck for more than a thousand years. One foot of golden light beam is equivalent to one foot of luck."
Li Zhi held the bead in his hand and input his magic power. As a result, only a dim light the size of a finger lit up on the shark bead, like a candle that could be blown out by the wind at any time. Looking at this light, Li Zhi's luck might not be as good as one at the moment.
ruler.
Li Zhi was shocked, while Wei Yuan looked puzzled and said, "Isn't your magic weapon broken?"
Li Zhi tried it several times, but the result was the same, so he put it into Wei Yuan's hand and said, "Try it."
Wei Yuan input the Tao power according to the formula, and then a bright light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. The world became blurry and nothing could be seen.
Caught off guard, the two of them were hit together. After finally recovering their eyesight, they saw that the mermaid bead in Wei Yuan's hand had fallen into pieces.
"It's indeed broken." Wei Yuan returned the shark bead to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi didn't know what to say.
…
Great Tang Emperor City, Haojing.
Emperor Tang's throne was suspended in the air, and another chair was placed on the lower floor of the high platform. Sitting on it was a man with a purple complexion and thick eyebrows, wearing the robe of a prince, standing high above.
Sitting high on the throne is King Jin of Datang.
This King of Jin is not the other King of Jin, but the close uncle of Emperor Xuan. According to the Tang ancestral system, originally only members of the imperial family could be granted the title of king. However, a powerful minister at that time, Xu Yan, could not be granted the title. Finally, he was granted the title of Prince of Jin, and the fiefdom was
In today's land of the Three Jins. After Xu Yan's death, the Jin Kingdom was divided into three, becoming today's Western Jin, Eastern Jin and Southern Jin. Only the Southern Jin was left in the original Xu family.

There was the example of the Jin Dynasty. After that, the kings of the Nine Kingdoms successively proclaimed themselves kings, and the ritual system of the Tang Dynasty completely collapsed. Then the Nine Kingdoms also began to appoint kings on their own, and all kinds of princes flew around. After that, the Tang Dynasty was granted the title of king.
Wang will add the word "big soup" in front of it to show the difference.
Emperor Xuan was young, but his throne suddenly collapsed a year ago. He was frightened and fell ill. The Queen Mother also fell down while listening to the government behind the curtain, and had to recuperate. Prince Jin of Tang Dynasty took advantage of the situation and became regent.
The Datang Imperial Palace is thirty feet high and one hundred feet long and one hundred wide. It is supported only by nine pillars. It is magnificent and majestic.
At this time, at the end of His Majesty's group of ministers, the Minister of Rites, Liang, came out to report: "Wei Yuan, the envoy of Dingxi Jiedu in the Western Jin Dynasty in Tang Dynasty, has written a letter saying that the Wu tribe has invaded the Western Regions in a large scale and their troops are so powerful that they are difficult to defeat. He requests the imperial court to send troops to rescue.
At the same time, I present a thousand pieces of brocade and ten life-extending pills!"
There was a buzzing sound, and all the ministers immediately started talking.
Tangshi's power was weak, and the ministers who went to the palace all day long discussed either the commonplace matters of the imperial family's direct territory, or the war with foreign tribes. But to be honest, the foreign conquests had nothing to do with Tangshi. Like the Song Dynasty, all the Tangshi territories were sealed off.
Inside, there is no border with foreigners.
The Eight Kingdoms and the foreign tribes all fight their own way. Even if they don't expect Tang Shi's support, they won't listen to Tang Shi's nagging. If Tang Shi sends an envoy over, he probably won't even be able to see the king.
When the ministers discussed the conquest of foreign tribes, they just expressed their concern for the world and expressed some opinions.
Therefore, at this time, Wei Yuan sent a letter to the imperial court to request support, which was something that had not happened for many years. All the ministers were very excited and asked each other who Wei Yuan was, and then they all looked at a loss.
The junior official who was listed was just a minister. Because he was in the Ministry of Rites, he was naturally half a rank higher than the other five departments. This was also a characteristic of Datang, which believed that rituals were the most important, so the status of the Ministry of Rites was also high.
At this time, King Jin of Tang Dynasty and other ministers were quieter, so he asked them for their opinions.
The ministers talked for a while, with some in favor and some against. At this time, an old man with extraordinary bearing came out. He was also an imperial minister, Da Sikong, one of the three princes of the dynasty.
He stroked his beard and said: "A border minister has sent me a letter to ask for help. This is a sign of the decline of the vassal state and the revival of the Tang Dynasty! This matter must not be refused, otherwise it will chill the loyal hearts of the world and make the Nine Kingdoms even more domineering."
A military general said: "But the Western Region is far away, and reinforcements are a million miles away. I am afraid that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby."
Da Sikong had already made a plan, saying: "The barbaric land of the Western Regions has not been civilized for a long time. If you want to come, you will not know the etiquette and the soldiers. The imperial court only needs to send a thousand officers to the Western Regions to control the local soldiers, and then send a general to take charge.
Stabilizing the situation can also demonstrate the power of our soup room."
King Tang Jin on the throne nodded slowly and said: "What Sikong said makes sense, so let's just send Anyuan General Wei Boyang to lead a thousand forbidden troops to the Western Regions."
A burly general came out of the military attaché and said in a deep voice: "The last general will surely defeat the foreign tribes and return!"
King Jin of Tang Dynasty said: "I heard that the Western Region is already a broken land. General Wei must not be careless when he goes there. Once he is targeted by monsters from outside, it will not be a trivial matter."
"You will eventually understand."
Next, the ministers discussed state affairs as usual, and then the time came and dismissed the court.
King Jin of Tang Dynasty left the Imperial Palace through the rear side door. This door was originally only for Emperor Tang, but it was used by the Queen Mother when he was regent, and now it is also used by King Jin as regent. No one dared to say a word more.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, King Jin turned to the passage out of the palace and asked those around him: "How is the emperor's health now?"
"Still weak, I can only get out of bed and barely walk a few steps."
"Tell the imperial doctor to nurse him back to health. Who is Wei Yuan? Send a copy of his information to my study."
After a while, King Jin of Tang Dynasty carefully read Wei Yuan's information and ordered: "Let General Wei lead three thousand forbidden troops and lead a big ship. Forget it, let him go in my king's boat!"
The attendant was a little surprised and followed the order and left.
King Jin suddenly sneered and said to himself: "Li Shenji, Li Shenji, if I don't make the noise bigger, how can I put you on the fire?"
