Chapter 965: The Endorsement of the Military and Horse's Life
Chang'an.
Chang'an in spring is like a passionate girl. Different from the south, the girl's delicacy is more tough.
Huang Chunhui stood in his yard, looking at the green branches with his hands behind his hands, refusing to move for a long time.
"Aye."
Huang Lu came in from the front yard, "It's windy outside, so you should be careful."
"The wind in northern Xinjiang is stronger and colder!"
Huang Chunhui asked: "But is there any news?"
"Over in northern Xinjiang, the State of Qin announced in spring that it would march north."
"Moving north, where are we going to attack?"
Huang Chunhui thought about it, and Huang Lu said: "Some people in the court said that the Duke of Qin was resorting to violence and was impeached by the censor."
"Impeach him for what?"
"Say that he openly belittles and secretly praises."
"Why?"
"The censor said that the word "military" is mostly used for emperors or countries, and it is used for the Duke of Qin. This is to praise him."
"The wind is like rain. Is the imperial court so afraid of Zitai?"
"The imperial court convened the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is said that Zhao Sanfu from Jingtai also went there to discuss the matter."
"Zhang Huan can tell you what the Ministry of Revenue is doing? To guess whether the money and food in Northern Xinjiang can support a war?" Huang Chunhui shook his head and went to the study.
In the study room, there is a map hanging.
Huang Chunhui walked over and reached out to touch the northern border area.
Sit down slowly and lean against the map.
The gray hair and the black map look like a painting.
Since ancient times, famous generals have avoided having gray hair!
Old!
Huang Chunhui closed his eyes.
It seems that all those warriors and warriors have returned.
Countless soldiers gathered under their own banners, followed the direction of their fingers, and fought bravely.
Sir!
Countless people are shouting.
Those soldiers whose faces are covered with blood!
They surrounded Huang Chunhui.
Huang Chunhui stretched out his hand, "You all are waiting, I will come. You are all waiting for me in Jiuyou. I will take you to wait and fight for the Tang Dynasty again until death!"
Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
The past events are vivid in my mind.
Those comrades who died in battle, those soldiers whose bodies can’t even be found...
Do you regret it?
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
"If we do it again, I will still take them to fight. The Tang Dynasty should stand at the top of the world, instead of sliding into the abyss under the leadership of a fool."
What a great battle!
After the war, he chose to return to Chang'an.
So dormant.
In fact, he can stay in Northern Xinjiang.
With an army in hand, who can do anything to him?
But the Tang Dynasty was in decline and could not tolerate civil strife.
At that time, he was afraid of dragging down Northern Xinjiang and the Tang Dynasty, which he had worked hard for all his life, so he stayed at home in a state of self-imprisonment.
But the subsequent development of Northern Xinjiang shocked him.
That boy... He was very optimistic about Yang Xuan at first, but he felt that the young man should work hard for a few more years, and wait until Lao Liao retires before he can step up again.
But what I didn't expect was that Liao Jin left without realizing his ambition.
How did that boy do?
"not bad!"
Huang Chunhui thought of the days when he was still in northern Xinjiang.
At that time, Yang Xuan would come to him with saliva and beg for some food, grass and weapons, he would come to ask for a battle with a smile, he would attack his opponent cunningly, and dig holes for his opponent...
He knew it all so well that it was like watching a monkey jumping around.
At that time, Yang Xuan acted too sharply and lacked depth, which was what he was worried about.
Therefore, we often talk when we meet.
Unlike others, Yang Xuan always accepts beatings with an open mind, and he will quickly improve his shortcomings.
This is very rare.
Huang Chunhui suddenly laughed.
When he was preparing to leave Northern Xinjiang, Yang Xuan actually had a chance to make peace with Chang'an.
All he had to do was show his loyalty to the emperor, and when it was difficult to place people at the moment, the emperor would choose to promote him without hesitation, just like he promoted Shi Zhongtang.
But that young man!
The eyes that looked at him were full of respect.
There is also some sense of friendship.
Officialdom talks about everything except friendship.
This is his weakness!
Write him a letter and tell him?
But the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
I remembered what happened last time.
The emperor wants to touch him.
Huang Chunhui felt that it was not a bad thing for Yang Xuan and Beijiang.
He was killed by the emperor, and Yang Xuan could take advantage of the situation to build momentum in northern Xinjiang and encourage the army and the people to turn against Chang'an.
In this way, his rule in northern Xinjiang will be deeply rooted... and if he wants to use other methods to achieve this goal, it will take at least several years, and there can be no mistakes.
But the young man gave up this advantage without hesitation.
He should have used birds to send messages.
Make people spread the word.
——Whoever dares to touch Huang Chunhui will be punished by me!
This is a military governor roaring at the emperor.
Also, smiling at Huang Chunhui.
——You used to protect me, now, I will do it!
"Alang!"
Huang Chunhui didn't open his eyes, "What's the matter?"
The servant outside the door said: "Someone from the palace has asked Alang to come to the palace to discuss the military affairs of Northern Xinjiang."
There have been several invitations like this in the past, but Huang Chunhui refused every time.
The servant said: "I will politely refuse."
"No!"
Huang Chunhui stood up.
"Change!"
…
In Chang'an in spring, a gust of wind will still bring a chill.
Huang Chunhui gave up the carriage and rode his horse slowly in the spring breeze.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians, and from time to time you can see young men and women passing by on horseback.
Full of vitality.
"very nice!"
Huang Chunhui opened his mouth and was blown away by the wind.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently.
Until outside the palace gate.
"Huang Xianggong!"
The waiter was waiting, looking a little surprised.
"Ahem!"
Huang Chunhui coughed.
"Please follow us."
The palace still looked the same. There were many servants in the palace, but in Huang Chunhui's eyes, it was lifeless.
When they arrived outside the palace, the servant went in to report.
Later, someone came out.
"Xianggong Huang, please."
The emperor was in the palace, and so were Zhang Huan, Yang Songcheng, and Zhao Sanfu.
Several generals who were on the periphery turned around when they heard the footsteps.
"Huang Xianggong!"
The old man looks old and has drooped eyes, but just thinking about his military career, it is inevitable to feel respect for him.
"I have met His Majesty!"
The emperor said calmly: "You came just in time. News came from northern Xinjiang that the traitor is preparing to attack."
Huang Chunhui came over and Zhang Huan said: "Lin Jun is a famous general from the Northern Liao Dynasty. He came to guard Taizhou. Firstly, Lin Ya wanted to conquer the south. Secondly, He Lianchun also wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Let's take a look.
Lin Jun is fighting with Beijiang."
Huang Chunhui nodded, "After all, He Lianrong was captured and Xiao Hongde died. There are not many generals that He Lianchun can trust in his hands. If he is defeated again, it doesn't matter that the emperor's face cannot be protected, but Lin Ya and others spied on him.
He is in a dilemma with no one available to him. Looking back, if Lin Ya takes the risk..."
Zhang Huan squinted his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.
For many years, he and Huang Chunhui lived in the south and the north, and were known as the twin walls of the Tang Dynasty.
People at that time said that Nan Zhang was not as good as Northern Huang. When he first heard this, he just dismissed it.
But gradually, after hearing more and more, I inevitably felt a little dissatisfied, even disdainful.
Today the emperor summoned them to discuss matters to determine the outcome of this battle.
As soon as Huang Chunhui opened his mouth, he judged the direction of this battle from the height of the temple.
Analyze this battle from the top.
I seem to be in a bad mood!
The emperor coughed dryly, "This means that not only Lin Ya is concerned about this battle, but also He Lianchun will temporarily put aside his past grudges?"
Huang Chunhui nodded, "After all, if Bei Liao is defeated again, the situation will change."
He raised his eyes and looked at everyone, stretched out his finger, and crossed from Kunzhou on the left to Chenzhou.
"If this line is broken again, the myth of Bei Liao's invincibility will be shattered. At this point, not only Bei Xinjiang will advance steadily, but the enemies within Bei Liao will also be ready to make a move."
The emperor asked: "Who do you think is the enemy within Bei Liao?"
"Didn't you tell His Majesty?" Huang Chunhui looked at Zhang Huan.
Although Huang Chunhui is an idler now and is far inferior to Zhang Huan, Minister of War, Zhang Huan subconsciously said: "I haven't said it yet."
"It shouldn't be!"
Huang Chunhui said a simple word, but everyone seemed to feel a strong wind blowing towards them.
The former helmsman of Northern Xinjiang occasionally showed his dignity, and then said: "The Shegu people are a serious problem for Northern Liao. In recent years, Northern Liao has been sending troops to encircle and suppress them, but they have suffered more defeats and fewer victories.
Once the southern part of Northern Liao is defeated by Northern Xinjiang, Ningxing will definitely send a large army to help. In this way, the Shegu people will be let go of the reins, and then they will inevitably launch an attack.
At that time, the Northern Xinjiang and the Shegu people are attacking from both sides, and the Northern Liao...is in danger."
These words opened up a magnificent picture from a strategic level.
The core of this painting is Northern Xinjiang.
The core of Northern Xinjiang is Yang Xuan.
Are you trying to protect Yang Ni?
A general raised his lips slightly and said: "What Huang Xianggong said is true. However, Northern Liao has a vast territory and countless warriors. Even if they lose several times, they cannot shake their foundation. But Northern Xinjiang cannot be defeated. Once defeated, it will collapse.
situation."
"yes!"
"With those troops in Northern Xinjiang, once defeated, it will be difficult to continue the offensive. And Bei Liao will follow the trend and counterattack, and it will definitely not destroy Northern Xinjiang without withdrawing its troops, and completely eradicate this threat!"
"This battle is still reckless!"
"No, we just captured Neizhou last year. The losses in Northern Xinjiang are estimated to be considerable. Morale is very important. You can take the initiative to provoke Northern Liao from a corner. This is not bravery, but foolhardy!"
Huang Chunhui looked at the generals recently promoted by the emperor and said, "If it were you waiting, could you possibly capture Neizhou?"
Several generals laughed, but no one dared to say that they could do it.
One person said: "This time, that time."
Huang Chunhui looked at him, "How qualified is a mediocre person to comment on a handsome person? Who gave you the courage?"
The general's face turned red.
Seeing the emperor's calm expression, Zhang Huan knew something was wrong, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Look, Mr. Huang, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't determine the target of the attack in Northern Xinjiang."
Huang Chunhui lowered his eyelids again and looked at the map.
He pointed at Taizhou with his finger and said: "Maybe, it's Taizhou. However, I'm not in Northern Xinjiang, so I can't know the current situation. Maybe, I will attack Chenzhou or Kunzhou."
Isn’t that the same as not saying anything?
But Huang Chunhui's previous analysis was worthy of the emperor's special invitation, so no one dared to question it.
The emperor looked at the map with his hands behind his hands and said, "Tell me, the abbot."
Yang Songcheng pointed at Taizhou and said: "I believe that Northern Xinjiang has the greatest possibility of attacking Taizhou this time. Otherwise, no matter where we attack, we will face Lin Jun from Taizhou. Yang Xuan has no choice but to attack Taizhou.
, a little bit of vaginal damage.”
The emperor nodded slightly, "What do you think?"
A general said: "What the state leader said is very true. I believe that this battle must be in Taizhou!"
"So, how was this battle?" the emperor asked, his expression still calm.
The head of state glanced at him and knew that his son-in-law was definitely thinking about how to use this battle to weaken Northern Xinjiang, and even thought about whether Yang Xuan could be destroyed through this battle.
Of course, the premise of everything is that Lin Jun defeats Yang Xuan.
Zhang Huan said: "Bei Liao suppressed the Shegu people and lost more than they won, but Lin Jun went to the battle and won three victories in three battles!"
"So, this man is a rare and famous general?" the emperor said.
"Yes." Zhang Huan pointed to Tanzhou and said: "Last time he led the army to rescue Neizhou, but he was late and captured Taizhou. It is not known how the Ningxing side fought. However, he was appointed after that.
As the governor of Taizhou, it can be seen that this person is not only good at leading the army, but he is also good at planning the court."
"Versatile in both civil and military affairs!"
The emperor seemed a little envious, "Who can tell me whether I will win or lose this battle?"
"Northern Xinjiang is difficult!" A general shook his head, "On this line, one move affects the whole body. If we attack other places, Taizhou will be flanked. If we attack Taizhou, we will be flanked elsewhere. It's a dilemma."
"And this battle is Lin Jun's first battle against Northern Xinjiang. Even if the attack is not Taizhou, he will not spare any effort."
A tie might be the best outcome.
But if you don't do it right, you will fail.
"Too urgent!"
Yang Songcheng shook his head.
The emperor looked at Zhang Huan and asked him to express his position.
"This battle, I think, should be slowed down."
This statement is a bit slippery, but the attitude has come out.
This fight shouldn’t be fought!
At least he shouldn't attack at this time.
The emperor looked at Zhao Sanfu.
"Northern Xinjiang has just recruited 20,000 new soldiers, but it will take time for the new soldiers to be trained."
Zhao Sanfu's answer was concise and clear, and the emperor was very satisfied.
How long will Wang Shou keep that old dog?
The emperor looked at Zhang Huan.
"For new soldiers, if they are to be used against powerful enemies like Bei Liao, it will be at least three months, and the safest is half a year."
Zhang Huan said it very objectively.
The emperor finally looked at Huang Chunhui, "What do Huang Qing think?"
Huang Chunhui said: "Northern Xinjiang will win this battle!"
The emperor's face was slightly cold, "Really?"
Yang Songcheng smiled, "Does Mr. Huang have any evidence?"
You can't just make such a judgment in court with empty words, right?
Zhang Huan looked at Huang Chunhui and thought that Huang was willing to come today because he probably wanted to understand the current situation in northern Xinjiang. Since he had achieved his goal, why bother to go against the emperor's wishes?
Huang Chunhui said: "Just because I have confidence in him!"
That young man, whenever he decides to do something, no matter how high the price is, he will never look back.
"That's it?" Yang Songcheng asked.
"If it was three years ago, I could still judge the direction of Qin Guogong's strategy. Today, three years later." Huang Chunhui pointed to his chest, "I can't guess what he was thinking. Based on this alone, I can conclude that this battle
He will win!"
This is using his whole life as a soldier to endorse Yang Xuan!
A general said: "I am afraid that Huang Xianggong's words are a little biased!"
Huang Chunhui looked at him, "If we meet on the battlefield, I can defeat you in just half an hour. Maybe even faster! As for Qin Guogong, I dare not say victory!"
The general's face turned pale.
The emperor rolled his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone left, but Yang Songcheng stayed.
The emperor's eyes were dark, "I heard that there is unrest around Northern Xinjiang?"
When facing Northern Xinjiang, the positions of the father-in-law and son-in-law were the same.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Yang Songcheng heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said, "The surrounding troops should be alert. In addition, I think that the guards in Chang'an have been practicing for a long time, so they have to be on the alert. Once the place is not peaceful, they will send troops to quell Buchen!"
The emperor nodded, "The words of the abbot are deeply in my heart! Come here."
"His Majesty!"
Han Shitou, who had always been invisible, stepped forward.
The emperor pointed at Yang Songcheng and said, "Ten beauties will be rewarded to the father-in-law."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Songcheng resigned.
Huang Chunhui left the palace alone, faltering.
"Huang Xianggong."
Huang Chunhui did not look back, Zhang Huan quickly followed, "Why did you bother to offend His Majesty?"
Huang Chunhui said: "I don't want to offend him, but if he decides that Northern Xinjiang will be defeated, he will definitely send troops. I am not doing it for anyone..."
"For Duke Qin?" Zhang Huan knew the friendship between Huang Chunhui and Yang Xuan and was a little envious.
"No!"
Yang Xuan's smiling face flashed in Huang Chunhui's mind, pointing into the distance.
"What I am doing is for the Great Tang Dynasty, which I have been fighting for for many years!"
