Eight hundred and seventieth chapters restrictive strategy
Isn't it equivalent to forcing the world to rebel against him? If this is the case, I am afraid that the dragon throne under Tang Qingchuan's butt will be unstable in the end.
In fact, the life and death of the people did not matter to Tang Qingchuan. What he cared more about was the stability of the imperial power. Obviously, the actions of the Xiongnu army had threatened his throne, and this was something he could not tolerate.
"Immediately issue an order to order the Xiongnu army to stop and make repairs first, waiting for the emperor's order." A voice said in his heart that he could not continue like this, so Emperor Qianying thought of ordering the Xiongnu army to stop attacking.
"No." This decree was met with dissuasive voices from both servants.
"Huh?" Seeing that his minister dared to stop him, Tang Qingchuan's eyes flashed with anger.
Zhang Zhen and Jiang She were afraid that they would misunderstand, so they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the time. The current Xiongnu army is no longer as weak as it was when they just passed Pingcheng. They are looting all the way. , they have obtained a lot of good things, armed and strengthened themselves. If they are forced to give an order, and if they do not comply, won't it mean that we will become their enemies? In this way, won't it allow others to take advantage? ?"
"Huh? How dare they disobey my orders?" Tang Qingchuan said angrily. But if you feel it carefully, you can feel that this question means that Tang Qingchuan has a hint of lack of confidence.
It was not Tang Qingchuan who sent people to contact the Xiongnu cavalry. Even the Xiongnu cavalry was not under his control, and their relationship with him was not close. Everything was connected by Wei Qian'er. In the final analysis, they were just a kind of It's just a cooperative relationship.
I used to think that as long as they could control the food, fodder and baggage of the Xiongnu army, they would have to listen to themselves if they wanted to survive. But now, looking at it, they can achieve everything through looting.
The Huns' army that achieved self-sufficiency through looting was like a full beast being let out of its cage. No matter how many times the keepers called it, it would be useless.
It seems that now, it was agreed that most of the gains from the Xiongnu army would be given to themselves and Daqian, but what about the reality? Except for some empty cities with no people who were killed, nothing was given to them. They stayed. If they really turned against them at this time, it would be equivalent to forcing the Xiongnu to become their enemies. Wouldn't it be equivalent to shooting oneself in the foot?
When that time comes, the Xuanjia Army will definitely be severely damaged in a fierce battle with the Xiongnu army. This is when other forces will benefit.
Thinking of this, Tang Qingchuan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Could it be that he was unable to stop the development of the Xiongnu army?
For a while, Tang Qingchuan didn't say a word, or he didn't know what to say. But at this moment, Jiang She spoke. "Your Majesty, I don't think this is a bad thing. "
"Huh? What should I say?" Tang Qingchuan couldn't help but look at him after hearing this.
Not only Emperor Qianying, but also Zhang Zhen on the side also wanted to hear how Jiang Chen would explain this sentence.
"Your Majesty, I think so." Jiang Chen said calmly. Although he knew that what he said next, once spread out, might make him a sinner of Daqian, especially in the future. Maybe the history books will scold him. But compared to what happened behind him, what he values is more is what is in front of him.
He just became a right-hand shooter. Without any outstanding performance, who knows whether he can secure this position?
Before Zhang Zhen showed his ambition before, he would not guard against him. But now, the other party has regarded him as a thorn in his side. If he loses his position, the other party will definitely look for him. The opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger in yourself.
For the sake of one's own survival, and in order to live a better life and have a better future in the future, other people's opinions naturally don't matter. "Your Majesty, the Huns are indeed a scourge, but this scourge cannot threaten us now. Even if we make good use of it, it is not impossible that we will get a blessing in disguise."
"What a blessing in disguise?" Emperor Qian Ying asked again.
"Your Majesty, since the Xiongnu army is so ferocious, why don't we divert the trouble eastward and let them fight in the south. In the end, we will only lose some people and cities. Without the population, we can continue to fight in the south. Encourage births; if there is no city, it can be built again in the future. This is not a problem. On the contrary, if they are allowed to cause trouble in the south, the headache will not be for us, but for other forces there, such as Nanwu Wang, the King of Western Shu, including Tang Qingshan, Nanyue and Japan. They are all ambitious people, wouldn’t it be better to let the Xiongnu army take the opportunity to deal with them now, or even destroy them? "
"Your Majesty? Compared with truly conquering the world, it is just temporary forbearance and making some sacrifices. This is nothing. As long as your Majesty truly unites the world and there are no enemies, then the real great achievements will be made. It’s time to display your Majesty’s ambitions with your skills.”
"Your Majesty, a little impatience will ruin a big plan." Jiang Chen shouted as if he was crying.
"A little unbearable?" Zhang Zhen on the side was surprised. He didn't take the life and death of the people seriously, and he still called him a little unbearable?
As the emperor of Daqian, how could he be called intolerant when he saw the people under his rule being slaughtered by aliens?
At this moment, Zhang Zhen really wanted to go up, slap Jiang Chen with melon seeds, and tell him that without the people, would there be a country? What use would an emperor have?
But just thinking about it, Zhang Zhen didn't dare. Not for any other reason, just because he knew that these words would make the emperor's heart flutter. Or it can be said that these words were originally for Emperor Qianying. Speaking from a standpoint, it’s just that Jiang Chen is speaking out now and taking the blame.
Since ancient times, ministers who are anxious about the emperor's needs and think about what the emperor wants will be reused. No matter how future history books will evaluate him, at that time, this person will definitely live a very comfortable life, and Has unshakable power.
Jiang Chen is playing such a person now, a person who does not hesitate to own reputation for the sake of the stability of the emperor's great cause. I am afraid that such a person will surely secure his position as the right servant.
As expected, Emperor Qian Ying did not immediately object after hearing these words, but looked thoughtful. It was obvious that he was digesting these words or considering the gains and losses of this matter. This consideration was not known. After a while, he suddenly said: "This is not a bad idea. But it is not good for the Xiongnu to be too powerful. We still have to find ways to restrain them."
"Your Majesty, I have already considered this matter. Didn't the former Princess Di always want to restore the country? Now Beidi has been destroyed by King Ji, and his power is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, he will threaten Your Majesty's imperial power. Then we might as well use this as an excuse to ask the Xiongnu to send troops to the north. I believe this will suit Wei Qian'er's wishes and he will not refuse under any circumstances."
"Oh? Killing someone with a borrowed knife? This is a good move." Emperor Qianying was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded immediately: "This is a good idea, but I don't know who to send to contact the Huns."
"Your Majesty, since the idea came from me, let me handle it." Jiang Chen said as if he was volunteering. He wanted to do this well. He was not worried about arranging for others to go.
"Okay, I am very reassured about Aiqing's ability, yes, yes." Emperor Qian Ying finally had a smile on his face. This smile also affirmed Jiang Chen's ability and status. All this was because of Zhang Zhen In his eyes, he knew that now was not the time to cause trouble for this person, otherwise it would delay His Majesty's grand plan, and he would only be the one to suffer.
Of course, he would not let Jiang Chen solve this matter so smoothly, so he decided to turn around and spread the news. But it was just a borrowed knife to kill someone, and he was also familiar with this technique.
In this way, Zhang Zhen deliberately let the news slip, and the news was soon known to Long Ya, and then spread to Jicheng.
...
Jicheng, Prince Ji's Mansion.
The news about the Xiongnu army raging in Huizhou, Daqian, was on the desk, and beside it was the intelligence that Zhang Zhen deliberately leaked.
Emperor Qian Ying wanted to divert trouble to the east or kill someone with a borrowed knife. Although it concerned him, Tang Ao was not moved by it. After successively pacifying Goryeo and Beidi, even the Xiongnu's lair was brought to justice by Ji Jinkai. The end was dropped.
All that is left in the land of the Xiongnu are a group of old and weak people. Although they have a ferocious nature, they do not have much fighting power. It is very easy to deal with them, and there is not even a decent resistance.
Even if the next strong man from the Huns army wanted to fight back, Tang Ao was not afraid. Tang Ao was still very confident in Pingcheng's defense. He had invested a lot of energy to ensure that the opponent would never come back. If he encountered a Hard stone. But Tang Ao was unable to do anything about what happened in Huizhou because of the distance.
Huizhou belongs to the Central Plains and is not bordered by the Seven States where Tang Ao is located. Even if Tang Ao feels pity for the people there, he is only weak in ambition and power. Faced with the inhumane predatory policy of the Xiongnu army, for the time being, he can't There is no better way.
Speaking of which, the Xiongnu are a foreign race. For many years, they have not had a good impression of Daqian, and some have resented them for the most part. Tang Ao would not be surprised by anything they did. But what Tang Ao didn't expect was that Emperor Qianying practice.
After all, you are also the emperor of Daqian now, owning the imperial capital of Daqian, and living in the palace that only the emperor of Daqian can live in.
As the saying goes, you should maintain your position and seek political power. Since you claim to be the emperor of Daqian, you should be responsible for the people of Daqian. Even if you are in troubled times and cannot protect too many people, you should not join forces with foreigners. If it harms the common people, you can't help the tyrants to do harm.
