Chapter 437: The Military Affairs of the Young Governor (Part 2)
"The young man is indeed brave. He used a large army at the city wall to intimidate the party and dared not submit. Then the soldiers from the fortresses around the city sank their fighting spirit and then carried out a clearing. It's quite an idea! It's a pity..."
Cao Lili's voice paused for a moment, attracting the attention of everyone in the court, and then he slowly said: "It's a pity that I never thought that if the Xiqiang people took this opportunity to join forces with the Dangxiang people, they would cooperate with each other inside and outside to destroy our defense in Huanzhou!
By then, the northwest states will inevitably be in chaos, and there will be a danger of the land being torn apart! What will happen then?"
What a person who suppresses his desires first and exalts them, openly praises and secretly criticizes!
The method was brilliant, but the focus of the discussion was completely wrong. Ye An shook his head helplessly: "I thought that Privy Cao would have such a brilliant view, but I never thought that it would still be the case. The Xiqiang people have the courage to fight against the party members."
United, but won’t our dynasty divide them? Separate the Qiang tribes by breaking them into parts to make them distrustful? Then put pressure on Xixia and let them throw rat weapons? Our dynasty’s army is stationed in Xiamao Village
How can the Dangxiang people dare to attack nearby? This is a war of attrition. The Dangxiang people are currently using troops in the Western Regions. How can they compete with the Song Dynasty? If they move their troops southward, I am afraid that everything planned by the Western Regions will disappear like falling apart. Can the Dangxiang people
Can you afford it?”
Ye An's words were also well-founded and analyzed point by point. Cao was speechless for a moment, but he suddenly said: "Do you know how much money we will need for the army according to your plan?"
Why?! The Security Army and the Dingbian Army have no less than 50,000 troops. If they all go to Xiamao Village, how can the small border village feed so many people? The imperial court still needs to follow "
Finally settling the financial accounts with himself, Ye An had already thought of this problem and smiled slightly: "Is a trouble that can be solved with money still considered a trouble?"
While the courtiers were still stunned, Ye An spoke like a barrage of words: "If the current chaos in Huanzhou cannot be put down in time, it will only get worse and worse. The impact on our court will be so great that more than this little money can calm it down."
Right? If the Dangxiang people are allowed to succeed, the cost of guarding the border of the country will be more than tens of thousands?! How can it be calculated with money after generations have been like this? Only people with short-sightedness can act with appeasement. The border of the country is so important.
When Mount Tai collapses, if you don't break it with the power of thunder, it will be like maggots following the tarsal bones. The only way to cure the poison is by scraping the bones, but then everything will stop!"
The surging voice of the young man echoed in the court hall, and every sentence was heartbreaking. Cao Lili didn't know what to say in response. He stared at Ye An and couldn't say a word.
The Gong Gong princes in the court had already started whispering to each other. Ye An's words hit home, but they were still hesitating. The reason was very simple. They didn't know how to choose between the long-term pain in the future and the short-term severe pain at the moment.
In fact, this is not a pain at all, because it is the "cause" created by Da Song himself...
Wang Zeng left the office slowly. His husband, who was usually not very pushy, had already made a decision. He raised his imperial hut and saluted Zhao Zhen and Liu E behind the bead curtain, saying: "I second my opinion! Ye Hou's plan can be useful."
Wanquan did it! Although it cost a bit more, it is much better than having to worry about the Dangxiang people going south every year. If this battle quells the Qiang people's troubles, it can be said to have wiped out the rats in the house, and the following decades or even centuries will
The northwest will be determined by itself!”
With Wang Zeng's departure, a group of civil servants also followed suit. Ye An's plan was indeed sophisticated and sophisticated. While containing the party members, why not also quell the Huanzhou rebellion?
"The old minister thinks that Ye Hou's plan is so practical. However, this matter still requires a sophisticated plan and a complete plan! The old minister asked the sage official to issue an order to seal the palace and establish rules! No one in the palace should leak any information.
He also ordered the Imperial City Secretary to visit secretly and arrest the person who leaked the secret!"
As soon as Lu Yijian's words came out, the courtiers in the palace exploded. This scene almost caught up with the layout before Emperor Zhenzong's personal expedition. The discussions in the palace were also of the same standard.
Many people thought that the Huanzhou matter had not reached this level and was too fussy, but some people stood up and agreed: "I agree with Lu Xianggong! Everything is not as important as military affairs. The party has been based in the northwest for a hundred years.
Li Mingde also has plans to establish himself as king, and with the instructions of the Liao people, he uses the method of killing with a borrowed knife to support the party, so he should use this to fight against the evil spirit!"
Everyone never expected that Wang Qinruo would stand up and agree, but his next words made Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian change their expressions: "The old minister thought that since it was Ye Hou who proposed this method and it requires exquisite cooperation, it should be done by Ye Hou.
As envoy, please raise this matter!"
"Ye Hou is young and has never participated in military affairs. Now he is the young minister of Sinong Temple. How can he travel thousands of miles to defend heavy troops?!"
Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian immediately expressed their opposition. They did not expect that Wang Qinruo would dare to do this. Generally, in this situation, important ministers in the court who are also well-versed in military affairs are used as pacifiers, and they cooperate with good generals to lead the troops. However,
All problems ultimately need to be borne by the pacifier.
Ye An is young and has just entered the court. Although he still needs polishing and experience in the eyes of the civil servants, he is still "one of his own". If he is allowed to take charge, a slight mistake may cause unimaginable consequences, and Ye An's future will be affected.
Totally ruined.
But if you are an old or important minister, even if something unexpected happens, the most you can do is to be demoted one level and remain in the position for future use.
On this point, Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian had the same attitude. They wanted to protect Ye An, because in their hearts, Ye An was likely to be another force in the Song Dynasty in the future.
It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. Liu E said slowly: "What Wang Qing said makes sense, but Ye An is young, how can he appease him and teach me more? We should choose another important minister as the appeasement envoy, but Ye An is also
Those who made up the plan had to go, so Fan Yong was appointed as the envoy to appease the body, and Ye An was appointed as the deputy envoy. He ordered the founding marquis of Guangping County and Cao Yi, the commander of the cavalry, as the envoy to suppress the Rong army and pacify Huanzhou.
In case of chaos, we will travel the next day!”
Liu E's speed was very fast, and the time given was very urgent. It was obvious that she wanted to end the turmoil in Huanzhou as soon as possible, and did not want to wait more than one day, because she knew that one more day would bring more variables.
Before Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian could speak, Liu E said again: "As the Third Division plans to organize the transfer of taxes to the people of Huanzhou and Yongxing Military Road, the various state government offices must not shirk or obstruct it, and must not slack off in supervising the transportation of grain and grass! Other departments must
The Department of Justice can no longer afford to slack off!”
Now Liu E has made the final decision, and the courtiers have nothing to object to. They all said: "I will obey the decree and respect the sage's instructions!"
The chamberlain on the side had already drafted all Liu E's words into prefixes, and handed them to Yan Shu, a Hanlin scholar in the palace, to write them into an imperial edict, then to Zhao Zhen to use them as the emperor's sacred treasure, and finally to the hands of Tongping Zhangshi Lu Yijian, which was considered complete.
It was handed over to Zhongshu's disciples, and then Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng used their seals at the same time, announcing the "validity" of this decree on the spot.
An urgent imperial edict appeared. It was already very cumbersome, but it was much faster than the edict sent from the palace. Ye An was speechless and could only watch and hand it over.
The imperial edict smiled helplessly.
As for the white-faced middle-aged man beside him who was receiving the order with him, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until the middle-aged man poked him that he realized what he was doing and stepped forward to receive the order.
