Chapter 981 982 [The curtain gradually opens] (Part 2)

Wang Pingzhang seemed not to notice Emperor Kaiping looking past him and looking behind him. He turned to look at Hou Guliang of Guangping, and asked with a gentle expression: "What do you think of the right army?"

Gu Liang responded calmly: "Wei Guogong is well versed in the combination of right and wrong in the art of war. This strategy is appropriate and should be able to solve the current predicament in the northern frontier. I still have a hidden worry. The barbarians are so cruel and unkind. Even though this is

If they are defeated in the battle, if they are allowed to return to the depths of the wilderness to recuperate, they may come back in the future. Therefore, I believe that the goal of this battle is not only to win, but also to clear out the holes and completely eliminate the threat of the barbarian tribe."

A murderous intent filled the room.

Compared with Wang Pingzhang, who is in his sixties, Gu Liang is more than ten years younger after all, and he also led the army in the southern border two years ago, so his attitude is tougher and his tone is sharper.

Wang Pingzhang couldn't help but nodded and said: "You Junji has indeed thought more carefully."

He then saluted Emperor Kaiping and said: "Your Majesty, according to the regulations of Daliang, the Beijing camp is responsible for supporting the state capitals in various places. Now the Xuanhua camp has to defend the three states, and its troops are stretched thin, so the Beijing camp must be transferred to the north."

Emperor Kaiping's profound gaze swept across the three Beijing camp commanders behind Wang Pingzhang, Zhongshan Marquis Pei Yue, Changxing Marquis Qujiang and Dingjun Marquis Luo Huanzhang, and then asked calmly: "Does the Duke of Wei have anyone to recommend?"

Wang Pingzhang cupped his hands and said: "I believe that Xiying coach Qu Jiang will definitely be qualified."

Qu Jiang immediately left the squad and saluted: "Your Majesty, I and the soldiers of the Western Camp are willing to share the worries of your father and lord, annihilate the barbarians and destroy their nests, and avenge the people of northern Xinjiang!"

Pei Yue remained unmoved.

Pei Yue frowned slightly and looked towards the man, only to see that it was Xu Shou, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. This man was in charge of the logistics of millions of soldiers in Daliang.

Emperor Kaiping was both angry and pleased, so he ignored Qu Jiang's request for a fight.

However, before Pei Yue spoke, Qu Jiang frowned and retorted: "Sir Xu, the Tibetan Front Guards are indeed outstanding in battle, but the Beijing army is more than just the North Camp, and the cavalry is more than the Tibetan Front Guards. There are also brave cavalry guards in the West Camp. During the Yanping Conference over the years,

, the performance of the heroic cavalry guards is obvious to all, and annihilating the barbarians is not a problem."

He turned to look at Emperor Kaiping and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead a body of cavalry and a body of infantry to go north. If I cannot annihilate the barbarians, I am willing to die to apologize!"

There was a hint of anger in Emperor Kaiping's eyes. He had indeed never seen such a stubborn minister. He had obviously been warned before, but he was still stubborn and stubborn.

Qu Jiang's eyes were filled with sadness. Now that the matter had come to this, he knew that his thoughts no longer mattered.

Xu Shou responded calmly: "Western Wu has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Your Majesty ordered the North Camp to provide support first, and the West Camp to stand by later. This is the special situation I mentioned. Although the barbarians are brutal and ferocious, there are only a few thousand in the end."

In terms of military strength, does Lord Qu think it is necessary to mobilize two battalions of the Beijing Army and a hundred thousand troops to march north?"

What a one-track mind...

Emperor Kaiping changed his face slightly, nodded and said: "Ai Qing is worthy of being my brave tiger."

Pei Yue has not spoken before, which is actually a bit strange, because in the past whenever he was present, the emperor would always ask for his opinions in time, but today he seemed to be a transparent person from beginning to end. In fact, his mind was not on the war in Northern Xinjiang at all.

Instead, he quietly watched the expressions of everyone in the Imperial Study Room, and then thought a lot.

After Gu Liang expressed his attitude, he lowered his head and looked at the BRIC ground. The problem in northern Xinjiang was indeed difficult, but after all, the barbarians only had a few thousand troops, so they would not ask him, a right-wing military aircraft, to go into battle. While Emperor Kaiping was silent,

He was curious about who would come forward next. As for Wang Pingzhang and Qu Jiang's singing, it did not change his view on this matter.

Gu Liang met Emperor Kaiping's gaze and gave his own conclusion: "In terms of fighting head-on, I believe that the Xiyingqiu Guards in the West Camp and the Longxiang Guards in the South Camp are both capable of fighting against the Shangzang Front Guards.

.But facing the special environment and extremely demanding requirements in northern Xinjiang, I believe even more in the outstanding qualities that Zangfengwei has demonstrated in past actual combat."

However, Gu Liang, who had been silent at this time, said: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully and let Pei Yue take the Zangfeng Guards to Northern Xinjiang."

He did not look at Qu Jiang's ugly face and continued: "The wasteland is very vast, so the cavalry needs to have the ability to run thousands of miles and an extremely strong centripetal force. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain strength in that harsh environment.

.His Majesty,

Let’s not mention the tempering of the Tibetan front guards in the western border. Last year, when the Southern Zhou Dynasty provoked a war, they traveled thousands of miles deep behind enemy lines. They were able to maintain high morale in such a dangerous situation and defeated Fang Xie Xiao’s main force in one battle.

This shows Pei Yue’s ability in leading troops."

If the battlefield is right, Qu Jiang can kill Xu Shou with one shot, but in the verbal fight in the imperial study, he is obviously no match. Fortunately, he is a person who has climbed up with real ability, so he will not be defeated in front of the imperial palace.

He lost his composure and immediately changed the topic: "Xu Da

What he said is indeed true, but when His Majesty proposed the rotation strategy, it was originally to maintain the strength of each battalion of the Beijing Army. In the battle of the Western Border and the Southern Border, the Tibetan Front Guards fought beautifully, but they also suffered a lot of labor and effort, so they should continue to rest and recuperate.

To wait for the future, that’s why.”

Gu Liang said calmly: "Your Majesty, just now Cai Chen said that we must not only win this battle, but also completely solve the hidden dangers of the barbarians. To achieve this, it means that the victory of the war on the border is only the beginning.

Next, we have to go deep into the wilderness, find the barbarian's lair and destroy them. I have been checking historical data these days and found that there are many tribes in the wasteland. Now it seems that one of them has grown and annexed other tribes, and its strength has been greatly enhanced. I think

It’s not easy to achieve the goal.”

In the absence of Mo Haoli and Han Gongduan, when Luo Ting and Gu Liang faced the lonely Wang Pingzhang, their identical opinions carried a very heavy weight. In addition, Xu Shou, who was in the heart of the emperor, took the lead to express his opinion.

It is a foregone conclusion that Yue will leave Beijing this time.

The other important ministers had different thoughts. Luo Ting looked at Pei Yue in confusion, obviously wondering why he hesitated to move forward.

Xu Shou said angrily: "Master Quhou, I have no intention of looking down on the Western Camp, but it is clearly written in the charter of the Fifth Army Governor's Office that Emperor Zhongzong streamlined and restructured the system and established three major camps of the Beijing Army.

Xiying is responsible for Qizhou, Yuzhou, Lingzhou and other places, Nanying is responsible for the five southern states, and Beiying is responsible for the three northern states. Each performs its own duties without disturbing each other, and no changes are allowed unless there are special circumstances."

Gu Liang said calmly: "Marquis Changxing, please don't misunderstand me and just listen to what I have to say."

He took a step to the side, his eyes swept over the ministers with their own thoughts around him, and then stopped on the face of Emperor Kaiping, bowing to pay homage with great solemnity.

No matter how good-tempered Qu Jiang was, he couldn't hold back at this moment. He asked with a sullen face: "Is it possible that Master Junji also looks down upon the strength of the soldiers of the Western Camp?"

Luo Ting, the right ruler, nodded and said: "What You Junji said is reasonable. Your Majesty, I also agree with this policy."

Both of his predecessors ended badly. Li Bingzhong confiscated his family and exterminated his family, and Guo Kaishan's head was missing. In addition, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was easily affected by splints. Although they seemed to be high-ranking and powerful, they actually had many constraints. Therefore, when Xu Shou took over as chief

When he was the governor, I don't know how many people were waiting to see his jokes.

But no one expected that Xu Shou, who was a civil servant, would strike at the Dudu Mansion itself first. With the cooperation of Yushitai and Taishitai Pavilion, a large group of corrupt officials were discovered, and then many young and talented officials were added.

The energetic officials have a solemn demeanor, which is impressive.

He not only won the respect of Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang, but also made Emperor Kaiping quite pleased.

Emperor Kaiping looked calm, as if he finally remembered that there was a person involved standing over there, so he asked: "Pei Yue, are you willing to share my worries?"

But he couldn't openly attack, because this was a secret room discussion between the monarch and his ministers, and Pei Yue's stubborn attitude seemed to indicate one thing, that is, he had noticed that the situation in the capital was very wrong, and then wanted to stay and take charge.

To frighten Xiaoxiao, in the final analysis, it is out of loyalty.

Qu Jiang said in a muffled voice: "Please."

The situation was chaotic and chaotic, making it difficult to see clearly. Moreover, Pei Yue was not involved in Qu Jiang's words, and there was no hint of irritation in his words. It seemed that he sincerely wanted to lead the army into battle.

Qu Jiang said tit for tat: "Mr. Xu, may I ask that in the fifth year of Kaiping's reign when the Western Wu army invaded the Lingzhou border, was it the Western Camp or the Northern Camp that was responsible for supporting them?"

Just like this moment.

In the strange silence, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since we want to use cavalry to encircle and suppress the barbarians, the Tibetan Front Guards of the North Camp will do their part!"

Then he said seriously: "I obey your order."

Emperor Kaiping's heart suddenly tightened.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Pei Yue had given such a gift when he was playing a match.

It seems to have a sad meaning of farewell.
