"Lord, now the Turks have settled. Next, will the center of gravity of our Great Zhao shift southward or westward?" Situ Liang asked slowly.
Seeing Situ Liang ask this, the other officials, Zhao Jun, were pricking their ears, waiting for Zhao Xun's decision. Although it was just a simple difference between the two points, the meaning of them was extraordinary.
If Zhao Xun shifts the center of gravity of the Zhao army to the south, then the Zhao army will now start to march south and compete with other princes for sovereignty in the world. If it shifts westward, then the Zhao army's current target is Liangzhou.
Even the Western Regions.
Logically speaking, ordinary princes would take advantage of the victory and march southward. These ministers would no longer ask whether they were heading west. However, Zhao Xun had said earlier that the princes would fight first and their own side would first
Resolve foreign enemies. When the princes of the Central Plains are exhausted, they will move into the world with their great victory.
Zhao Xun said: "What do you think?"
Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "The Government Affairs Department means that although we won this battle with the Turkic army, we also paid a considerable price for it. Especially the consumption of materials is even more huge. Therefore,
They suggested that the big moves are slow, but they lack the endurance. Especially when going south to compete for hegemony with the princes, it cannot be solved overnight. Therefore, they mean that it is okay to take action, but it is best not to start a large war.
”
"Oh?" Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said, "The Government Affairs Department is considering it. We cannot only focus on fighting on the battlefield, but completely ignore the cost behind the battlefield. Not to mention the far-reaching rewards, pensions and
Moving the people, disposing of prisoners, slaves, etc. is a complicated task. There are a lot of money and food to be paid for. We cannot cause the people to suffer again because of rushing to achieve success."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "The lord said this, we will feel relieved. It is not that the various departments of the Government Affairs Department do not support the war, but that the war requires a lot of supplies, money and food. If you have to choose one to the south and west,
I suggest going west.”
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me?"
Pei Yi said in a deep voice: "This is also the result of the discussion of the military envoys of the Military Affairs Department, and our Government Affairs Department also has this intention. Now, although the princes in the south are going to war with each other, for them, my Da Zhao is definitely their biggest one.
Enemies. Therefore, once we have a tendency toward the south, they are likely to suspend internal strife and even join forces to resist us. Once this happens, the next step is to be stalemate and the need to consume is difficult to estimate."
"When it goes west, it's different. The target we attacked was Situ Lei, which was naturally happy to see for other princes. In addition, Situ Lei was also the most powerful among the southern princes. We weaken him and go to the future
It is also extremely beneficial to move into the world."
"In addition, we can also intervene by taking advantage of the excuse of the Western Regions to harm the people of Liangzhou. In addition, the land of Liangzhou is not valued by Situ Lei. If we act like this, he will definitely not deal with it with it with all his strength. Even, he
I also hope that we can fight the countries in the Western Regions endlessly. The most important thing is that this move is also a great thing to benefit the people. If Liangzhou is stabilized and the Western Regions are pacified, then the lord will be unable to fight against it in terms of reputation."
Pei Yi's subtext is that it is natural to replace Da Yan in the future and will not suffer too much infamous. Although Zhao Xun didn't care too much about this, it does not mean that carrying a slander is just a little bit of a deal.
No.
"Lord, the same is true for the advice of the Military Affairs Department. Now the southern princes attack each other, which is extremely beneficial for us. Therefore, we cannot let them settle down and keep them hostile and fight each other.
It is most in our interests." Situ Liang continued Pei Yi's words. He is the military service envoy of the Military Affairs Department, and naturally represents the ideas of the Military Affairs Department.
"If we take action against the Western Regions of Liangzhou, then the only one who has opinions about us is Situ Lei's family, and at the same time, Murong Cheng will agree with us. In addition, in order to weaken the powerful Situ Lei and let Murong
In this crisis, it can be alleviated."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then move westward. This is the case with my king. First, solve all threatening enemies outside and fight against the princes in the Central Plains.
Of course, we cannot neglect the war between the princes of the Central Plains. We must be more careful about any abnormality. All regions prepare war materials. This time we go west, there will not be too many troops, so the remaining four armies among the Eighth Army of the Imperial Guard are the main points.
. For specific actions, we decided to take action after the situation in the Turkic grassland is stable. At the latest, we will take action in early October."
Immediately, he said to Zhang Jun, Director of the Logistics Department: "Our army is heading west, and it is very likely that our country in the Western Regions will fight until winter. Therefore, we must prepare winter heating and other materials in advance."
"As for the Government Affairs Department, we must also prepare a group of qualified local officials, which will be ranked in Liangzhou and even the Western Regions in the future."
After a pause, Zhao Xun said again: "Now we will start to include the Yanzhou Army in our Zhao Army system. Although there is no need to change the banner for the time being, all civil and military officials will be treated equally to our Zhao Army.
And he will go to Youzhou City to report his work every month.”
Pei Yi and others were stunned by Zhao Xun's decision, but they immediately understood that Zhao Xun did this to avoid the difficulty of harmony between the two parties in the future. After all, being away from the outside for a long time will inevitably lead to the entire Zhao.
Unfavorable impact. Although the civil servants and generals of the Yanzhou army all went out of the Zhao army, they were sent out for a long time without waiting to enter the center, and they would inevitably have bad sides.
"The lord has no objection to this intention. However, the lord is worried that if we do this, it will make other princes afraid and even have a bad side. The others are easy to say, but let the Yanzhou Army be in trouble.
Civil and military officials come to Youzhou City to report their duties. No matter how much they hide it, they will..." Pei Yi hesitated. Although this move is a good thing, this move will definitely have a huge impact.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "If I want to cooperate with the Yanzhou army and connect the northern canal to the Yellow River, Yingshui, and Huaihe River, do you think, will there be any problems with these Yanzhou military civil and military officials entering Youzhou? No matter what others think, we
It only needs a cover-up coat. Besides, we connect the Zhaodi Canal with the Yellow River, Yingshui and Huaihe River, which is a major event that benefits the country and the people. And the other princes, I am afraid that we also hope that our Great Zhao and Yanzhou Army will be the army.
All of them should pour their energy into such a huge project. So, what else can they say?"
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "This method is very wonderful! Although this method cannot let other princes let go of the Yanzhou army and start to turn to our Zhao army, and even the Yanzhou army has surrendered to our Zhao army, they will not let go of their hands because of this.
The interests of them are turned to us. They only need a reason to comfort themselves, an excuse to grow and make us unable to move south."
"Besides, no matter Li Chi, Tang Xian, Murong Cheng, and Situ Lei, they will not let go of their hatred and join hands before we even set out to move south."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "That's right, this is what I mean. When I was in Yanzhou, I discussed this idea with Feng Ziming. When I was in this trip, it should be fine!"
Pei Yi smiled and said, "I really want to meet this capable man who can help the lord establish a powerful force in Yanzhou. He assisted the lord to defeat the Yanzhou army. The Tang army and Xuzhou army joined forces and now he has obtained the Yuzhou land.
, there are very few who can compare with it."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "You are also very rewarding. When Feng Ziming was in Yanzhou, he also repeatedly expressed his contribution to the masters mentioned in this article. Besides, this article can achieve success in Yanzhou, but it cannot be separated from the promise of Zhao Jun.
The big force is supporting it, and it is impossible to say that one person and one force is strong. Feng Ziming also agrees with this. When he arrives here, you can communicate with him well."
After the news that Zhao Xun wanted to enthrone the leader of the Turkic tribe as the Count as King Zhao spread, it immediately attracted people from all over the world to look at each other. Especially the princes in various places made people discuss and condemn them, saying that Zhao Xun had no father or king.
People, ambitions are rising, etc. But the Zhao army is in charge of the land and all support this.
For ordinary people in Zhao, no matter what King Zhao does, they believe that this is a favorable thing for them. As for whether King Zhao is surpassing, they will not care.
As for the scholars and officials in Zhao, they would not care about this. Why did King Zhao enthrone the leader of the Turkic tribe as the throne? They had already learned very clearly from the Tangbao. Naturally, they understood that King Zhao was
Use a title with a false name to store the real power of these tribes.
As for the Victory, these officials naturally hope that their lords will take office, otherwise, how will they be promoted? As for ordinary scholars, they are very clear now that they dare not say the general trend of the world, but it is certain that the power of King Zhao is invincible.
.In the future, they will become officials under the command of King Zhao. If the King of Zhao does not expand his territory, where will they become officials?
This news has its own ideas for the princes in the world. For Situ Lei, this is obviously not a good thing. You must know that Zhao Xun has begun to take a step outside in doing so, and some have left the imperial court and the Emperor of Dayan.
What does one side mean? So, what about the other princes? Will they follow suit and ignore the Emperor of Dayan?
Situ Lei was not worried about the dispensable Emperor of Dayan. What he was worried about was that the emperor he controlled in his hands would no longer be of use. You should know that when he had the emperor in his hands, he would be useful.
Situ Lei is a help. If this emperor is useless, it will be a drag for Situ Lei. After all, how to place this unhelpful emperor is also a difficult problem. In addition, it is around the small
The old ministers of Dayan around the emperor and some ministers in the world who were loyal to Dayan were both hidden dangers.
It can be said that Zhao Xun's behavior put Situ Lei in a very difficult position. In Luoyang City, in Situ Lei's hands, he had such an emperor. Although he had also brought him a lot of infamous,
However, he gained a lot of benefits from it. Many ministers of Dayan were summoned by Situ Lei in the name of the emperor. In addition, only he could use the emperor's imperial edict to issue any place, although the rest of the princes were still in charge.
I was very dissatisfied with him, but I still dared not speak out about the illegality of the imperial edict.
Just like this, when attacking Jiaozhou, weren’t the mountain people’s troops all valued the imperial edicts in their hands? Promising the same benefits, it would be different to have the imperial edicts. In addition, after taking Jiaozhou, you can quickly
It also relies on the emperor's banner.
Now, Zhao Xun's behavior clearly means destroying the emperor's flag in his hand. It's nothing to lose this, but leaving the emperor has become a big trouble in Situ Lei's hands. How to deal with it and how to settle it,
This is what Situ Lei needs to consider. Whether it is himself or for his heirs, the emperor must be handled well.
"This Zhao Xun left a difficult problem for me! However, this person solved a lot of Turkic tribes. First, there were nine Guiyi Bos, and then three great khans. In this way, the Turkic tribes were all solved.
The tribe was either swallowed by Zhao Xun, or they were allowed to kill each other and fight each other in internal struggle. As long as Zhao Xun did not die suddenly, the Zhao army would not suddenly collapse. Then, for a certain period of time, the Turkic tribes would not be
Zhao Jun, no, is a threat from the Han people in the entire Central Plains." Situ Lei, who was old and gray in the Chengdu Prefecture Office, said slowly.
"Father, is this Zhao army really so powerful? Although the Zhao army defeated the Turkic army this time, the powerful ability of the Turkic army to turn people into an army will definitely gather a huge army again in a very short time.
. Furthermore, the ability of the Turks to ride and shoot is not comparable to that of the Zhao army." Situ Che, who was only in his early twenties, said with dissatisfaction.
Situ Lei smiled at his youngest son and sighed: "Fifth Lao, you are young and smart, but you don't have much experience after all. The Turkic army is strong, and can serve the people in peacetime and in wartime. However, theirs
Logistics is also a fatal point that restricts them. If they were really so powerful, the world of flowers and beautiful mountains and rivers in the Central Plains would probably be theirs long ago."
"Look at the nine tribes that Zhao Xun created. They were first tempted by Zhao Xun with food, salt and tea and excellent weapons in winter, and finally became the minions of Zhao's army. But the result is that.
What about? These nine tribes and the Turkic tribes turned their faces. However, they were stuck in their necks by the Zhao army. They were not impatient, so the Zhao army could cut off the life needs of these nine tribes. And they
They are not in opposition to the other Turkic tribes. Once there is no support from the Zhao army, they will die without a place to bury them."
"Now you also see that these nine tribes first fought a war with the Turkic army. The warriors they had worked hard to cultivate in the past, and the weapons they bought with their own money, were finally fighting for the Zhao army. However, this is not
After all, the nine tribes were forced to hand over their power one by one, and their tribe members were taken over by Zhao Jun."
"In addition, the weapons of the Zhao army are enough to make up for the gap in riding and shooting. No matter how good you are, you can't wear armor and can't shoot the corresponding range, so what?"
"Okay, I won't talk about these. You brothers, except you, all the others are better than Zhao Xun. However, your achievements are far worse than Zhao Xun. This time we are from Murong Cheng's hands.
Capture the entire Jiaozhou, half of Jiangzhou. However, Zhao Xun now defeated the powerful Turkic army. You guys listened to it. No matter what the future holds, you will unite and be Zhao Xun's opponent. Otherwise..."
Situ Lei said coldly to the second Situ Fei and the fifth Situ Che present.
"My son remembers the teachings of the father!" Situ Fei and Situ Che said in unison.
"Oh..." After looking at the expressions of the two sons, Situ Lei knew that it was not easy to get them together, "Forget it... Let's go, don't regret it in the future.
!” As he said, the wrinkles on Situ Lei’s brows added a little more.
"Lord, the young masters are all intelligent people and will never do anything that makes you dissatisfied. Although the Zhao army was powerful and defeated the Turkic army. However, we also defeated Murong Cheng and from his hands
We have captured the land of Jiaozhou. Compared to Zhao Xun, we are not much worse. Why bother too much at this time?" Seeing Situ Lei in a heavy mood, Lin Shucheng said relaxedly.
Situ Lei shook his head and said, "Is this really the case? What I am worried about is that these bastards will not only not be able to unite to fight the enemy, but will instead fight each other in the middle!"
Like Situ Lei, Murong Cheng was extremely angry at Zhao Xun's current actions. He was not because of the little emperor in Luoyang City, but because of his Murong family's royal family. In Murong Cheng's view, Zhao Xun's actions were completely
It was preparing for the prelude to replace the Murong royal family. This made Murong Cheng, who was orthodox in the royal family, extremely angry. However, he also knew that now, he could not provoke Zhao Jun, after all, as sad as himself.
There is also Situ Lei, and at the same time, Situ Lei is also the target that Zhao Xun is preparing to attack.
"I must be good-looking in the future!" In the end, Murong Cheng could only leave such words. But it could not stop Zhao Xun's current actions, and even he did not dare to incite him with a tough attitude.
Zhao Army. After all, the Zhao army's navy has far surpassed the Yangzhou Navy, and the Zhao army's navy is still wandering in the eastern waters.
Although the Zhao army's navy and he were not secretly ally, who can guarantee that the Zhao army's navy would not attack the eastern coastal areas of Yangzhou? Even the Zhao army could transport troops by sea for the Xuzhou army to
Southeast Yangzhou and eastern Jiangzhou.
Compared with Situ Lei and Murong Cheng, Tang Xian and Li Chi are both happy and worried now. What is happy is that they can ignore the existence of imperial power and act recklessly. What is worried is that Zhao Xun is already in power.
Big, once there is no moral restrictions, then who will be his opponent in the world?
However, no matter what others think, Zhao Jun is still busy with his own affairs and continues his actions to pacify the Turks.
