In this way, the news that the Huns had convinced the prince Tang Jia to go north at any time was sent to everyone. Then there was a sound of condemnation. Everyone yelled at Tang Jia and called him a traitor.
So much.
After waiting for a while, when everyone had scolded enough, Tang Ao clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "Everyone has seen that the Xiongnu has sensed the danger and is ready to go north.
.I even have a feeling that before we capture Shuzhou, the Xiongnu soldiers will want to retreat. So tell me, can we allow them to return to the north?"
"No, no." Everyone said this time as if they were working together.
What a joke, once the Huns return to the north, they will definitely become enemies of the Chinese army. Unless they are willing to give up Heizhou and return the old site of Beidi to them. But now that they have eaten it, where can they go?
There is a reason to spit it out again.
"That's right, we absolutely cannot allow the Huns to return to the Northland and harm the several states in the Northland where we have settled down." Tang Ao also made an assertion on this matter. But then his words changed.
asked: "I want to ask everyone, if the Xiongnu army has returned now and the Daqian army has made way for them, how confident are we that we can stop them? After we really block it, what will we have left?"
How many troops are there? Can they still cope with attacks from other forces?"
As soon as Tang Ao said these words, the Battle of Alashan flashed through many people's minds. In that battle, it was very difficult for them to win. If they had not caught the opponent in advance, they would have launched a night attack. Tang Ao took the lead again.
If Yiquxiao's courage is frightened, the final result of that battle will probably change.
And if Beidi cannot be destroyed right away, the Jizhou Army will not be able to send its main force into the Central Plains, and may still be hiding in the Northland now.
It was too much of a fluke that we would win that battle. We don’t want to experience the same thing again, not to mention that the current Xiongnu is no more frightened than the original Beidi. The intelligence department has already sent the news,
Now there are more than 300,000 civilian troops controlled by the Xiongnu army. Adding the Xiongnu's own strength, the number is more than 500,000. If this is the case, it will be really difficult to deal with it."
Everyone fell into deep thought, and Tang Ao sighed. "Considering that there are new changes now, our next decisions must also be in line with these changes. So I decided that next, our Dahua Army
The target is none other than Qingzhou."
Tang Ao would make this decision. Everyone was stunned at first, and then the staff began to think about it secretly. Soon everyone looked like they had suddenly realized something.
Yes, in view of the intelligence just obtained, it is absolutely correct to attack Qingzhou now. As for why, the answer is simple, it is to paralyze the Huns.
Think about it, the Huns are actually different from the South Vietnamese and Japanese. These two foreign races have the intention of expanding their territories. Once they occupy a certain state in the South, they will never leave lightly.
, they will occupy it and use it.
In contrast, the Xiongnu army just wanted to take advantage of the autumn wind, and would leave after grabbing enough. Because they were still interested in the north, not the south. In this way, once they discovered danger, they found that their retreat had been cut off.
When it is possible, they will naturally not think about plundering Yunan, but will find a way to return. At that time, the Chinese army can only intercept them, and a war will inevitably break out.
For example, whether they attack Daliang City or Ezhou, they are cutting off the Huns from returning to the north, and forcing them to fight against them. On the contrary, attacking Qingzhou is different. Whether Qingzhou is captured or not, it is the same for the Huns.
There is no impact, and only by attacking there will they not be forced to fight with themselves now. This is equivalent to giving China more time to prepare.
Now that Dahua has just been established, what it lacks is time. Once it has enough time, how many soldiers can it recruit with the land it occupies in Kyushu?
After giving enough time, the Dahua Army will continue to grow stronger and have the strength to intercept and destroy the Huns Army.
After understanding this, the staff members reached a consensus and began to formulate relevant plans on how to capture Qingzhou.
After the staff headquarters had a unified direction, various combat plans were released one after another. All of this was seen by the military generals who had been paying attention to them. Although the confidentiality principle of the staff headquarters was very strong, the next target of the attack was not announced.
, but everyone can feel that a war is coming. As this is the first battle after the founding of the Great China, naturally everyone wants to show off their skills and have a good opportunity to perform.
As a result, Tang Ao has become the object of entanglement by the generals these days. As long as he walks out of the staff headquarters, there will be military commanders of divisions, brigades, and regiments waiting for him outside the door. Nothing else.
, just invite you to fight.
The general dares to fight, wants to fight, and is willing to fight. This is definitely a good thing. Tang Ao will not discourage everyone. But the problem is just to attack Qingzhou, and it does not require the entire army to be dispatched. Besides, there are so many more
The place needs to be defended, and it is impossible to send out all the troops. In this way, whoever defends the home will attack, even Tang Ao needs to make careful plans.
Uncles Shen Yunyi and Zeng Tong were invited, and the emperor and the ministers sat together to discuss the matter for two full days.
Although Zeng Tong is still the magistrate of Xin and Suzhou, he only has a name. The official affairs there have been handed over to Fu Rushi and others, and he still stays by Tang Ao's side, giving advice.
National affairs.
Many people have even come to agree with it, that is, once Emperor Hua wants to reward his ministers, the position of Zuo Pushe will definitely belong to Zeng Tong. This is something that others cannot and cannot snatch.
Besides, the three of them were sitting in a side hall, and there were Han generals standing guard nearby to ensure that they would not be disturbed by others. Tang Ao pointed at the sand table in front of him and started talking nonstop.
"Qingzhou is bordered by Suzhou and Shaanzhou to the north, Zangzhou to the west, Dianzhou and Shuzhou to the south, and Ezhou to the east. The transportation is very convenient, and the geographical location is also very important. As long as we occupy this place, we will
We can directly attack Shuzhou, a land of abundance, and cut off the connection between Zangzhou and Daqian. If we want to, we can even directly send troops to Dianzhou, threatening the security of South Vietnam. It is really a battleground for military strategists."
"Yes, Qingzhou is very important. We must win it. In this way, we can attack and retreat." Shen Yunyi said in agreement.
"Yes, Qingzhou is indeed very important. But if we can see it, others can also see it. Once we attack there, others will not remain indifferent. Besides, Qingzhou now belongs to Daqian
The territory is under the control of Emperor Qianwen. If we rush to send troops without sufficient reasons, I am afraid that the people in the world will not understand and public opinion will be unfavorable to us. This point must also be considered." Zeng Tong Yi Zheng·
This is said from the perspective of governance.
"Yes, we are no longer a local army of Jizhou Army. What we do represents China and Great China. What we do must be famous." Tang Ao nodded in agreement. Nod. People in ancient times valued the reputation of their divisions, and once there was no sufficient reason to send troops suddenly, it would be unpopular and would bring a lot of trouble to subsequent matters.
After Tang Ao finished speaking these words, his eyes fell on Zeng Tong. Not only him, but also Shen Yunyi's eyes fell on Zeng Tong.
For no other reason than that both of them knew that the next step was to play conspiracy, and neither of them were good at this aspect.
Zeng Tong felt those two eyes and looked a little ugly at the moment, "No, I am a good person."
"Exactly." Tang Ao and Shen Yunyi answered him indifferently.
"Okay, the matter is settled like this. The matter of finding reasons will be left to Zeng Aiqing, and Shen Aiqing will be responsible for mobilizing troops." Tang Ao directly became a hands-off shopkeeper. He was no longer King Ji, but Emperor Huadi. Naturally, he won't do everything personally. Besides, there are still important matters involving future generations that need his attention. The four imperial concubines are all waiting for him to help Dahua's future.
Tang Ao patted his butt and left. Shen Yunyi stepped forward and patted Zeng Tong on the shoulder, then turned to consider the matter of troop deployment. Zeng Tong was left alone with a long sigh and sat down, and he began to think about how to A legitimate reason to march into Qingzhou.
...
Jin Zhen, an important member of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce. Now he is a fifth-rank official in the Dahua Department of Commerce.
He had never thought that he could become an official while doing business. When the hat of a fifth-rank official fell on his head, he was so excited that he burst into tears on the spot.
I originally thought that I was just a small businessman with no social status. I just wanted to make more money and have enough food and clothing.
Who would have thought that since he made the right decision to follow Tang Ao many years ago, his life trajectory, including that of his family, has changed.
Now his son Jin Zhe is already the county magistrate of a county. I heard that he performed very well in the assessment a while ago and will be promoted to the county magistrate soon. This is the future hope of the Jin family, which is enough to honor the ancestors. But it is even more unexpected. What is surprising is that he is going to become an official, or a fifth-rank official, who is stronger than his current son.
When good luck fell on him, Jin Zhen cried happily and became more determined in his decision to follow Tang Ao.
With a grateful heart, when he learned that Master Zeng Tong had something to do with him, he hurried all the way and appeared in front of Zeng Tong immediately.
"Master Jin, you have worked hard all the way. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea." Zeng Tong was very satisfied when he noticed Jin Zhen's dusty appearance. Officials should be like this, acting vigorously and resolutely, instead of being domineering about everything. In that way, Really nothing can be done.
"It's not hard. If Master Zeng has anything to do, please give the order directly." In front of Zeng Tong, Jin Zhen was definitely a junior. If he dared to take a break, he took the initiative to fight.
"Okay, that's it, let's sit down and talk. By the way, I heard that Mr. Jin was in the grain and rice business before he became an official, right..."
