Seeing that Aimaiti did not answer immediately, Cao Xuan continued: "I invite you here now to discuss the strategy of dealing with Qi."
"Fight, must fight."
Aimaiti spoke directly without thinking.
He widened his eyes and said with an angry look: "Your Majesty, the people of Qi are ambitious and the emperor of Qi is so bold that he actually intends to attack our country Wei. We must fight back."
"We, the State of Wei, will never allow the State of Qi to show off its evil, so in this battle, we must not only block the State of Qi, but also defeat the State of Qi. The territory of the State of Qi is so vast. The resources of the State of Qi are so many. No How can conquering Qi be worthy of our Wei state?"
¡°This is also our opportunity.¡±
Aimaiti was extremely decisive. He knew that he could not retreat, so he said: "In this battle, we will even defeat the Qi State, enter the Qi State, plunder their resources, and rob their food and women."
Cao Xuan had a smile on his face and said: "I also admire General Aimaiti for having such an ambition. Now when it comes to resisting the Qi State, please ask General Aimaiti to inform the two places ahead of Guazhou City and Yiwu City. Nobles, please organize their troops to resist with all their strength. In addition, I will also mobilize a large army and march to Puchang to assist with the resistance behind Guazhou City and Yiwu City."
"yes!"
Aimaiti agreed immediately.
Cao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Go and make arrangements."
"I resign!"
Aimaiti bowed and bowed, then turned and left.
In the main hall, only Cao Xuan and Cheng Lin were left.
Cheng Lin had an expression of admiration on her face and said: "Your Majesty's move to drive away tigers and devour wolves is really clever. As long as the great nobles headed by Aimaiti will lead their troops to resist with all their strength. Next, we will fight with Qi State's If we fight, we still have a chance to hold on."
Cao Xuandao: "Aimaiti and other great nobles each occupy countless territories, populations and resources. Their territory of Wei State was taken by Qi State, and their own power was also lost. Therefore, they are driven by interests. They will go all out. In this case, we will wait and see what happens in Puchang at the rear, trying to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
Cheng Lin stroked the beard under his chin, and he thought for a while and said: "You still have to be cautious when sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. I suggest that you wait and see what happens, because once the strength of Aimaiti and others is completely wiped out, Without the slightest bit of strength, in the end, the lips will die and the teeth will be cold. Without Aimaiti and others, we, Wei, cannot stop them. Therefore, we still have to fight with all our strength."
Cao Xuan nodded and said, "What the Prime Minister said is true."
Cheng Lin said: "I will make arrangements now. After all, the next step will involve the departure of our army."
"Go!"
Cao Xuan nodded.
Cheng Lin bowed and bowed, then left.
Cao Xuan was sitting alone in the main hall. He raised his head and glanced at the gloomy weather outside the main hall, but there was a flash of light in his eyes. This time when he goes to war with Qi, he, Cao Xuan, will not be a deserter again.
This time, he will fight to the death and will never retreat.
After sitting for a long time, Cao Xuanku stood up and went straight to the ancestral temple of Wei State, looking at the tablets above. The tablets here are those of Cao Xuan's parents, as well as those of Cao Xuan's wife and children. They are all people who were massacred by Li Hongzhong's rebellion during the battle in Weiwu County, Liangzhou.
These people were all killed in that battle.
Cao Xuan murmured to himself.
He confided his determination to fight to these dead relatives. No matter how strong Qi is, no matter how powerful Wang Qi is, Cao Xuan no longer waits and vows to win this battle successfully.
At this moment, a chamberlain came in, came to Cao Xuan's side, and reported: "Your Majesty, the general wants to see you."
"pass!"
Cao Xuan gave an order.
He went straight to his main hall.
The current general of Wei is Cao Yuanli. In the past, Cao Xuan left Cao Yuanli to guard Longguan, but Longguan was bombed. Cao Yuanli quickly retreated with his soldiers. After joining Cao Xuan, he retreated all the way and took root in the Western Region.
Cao Yuanli himself is against Qi State, so he also has a sworn hatred. Because of the battle in Weiwu County, not only did Cao Xuan's family members fall, in fact, Cao Yuanli's own family members also all died in Weiwu County.
Cao Yuanli has always wanted to take revenge.
He hopes to come back with revenge.
When Cao Xuan entered the main hall, he saw Cao Yuanli who had been waiting for a long time. Cao Xuan waved his hand to stop Cao Yuanli from saluting and said: "Brother?Why are you here now? "
Cao Yuanli is Cao Xuan¡¯s clan brother. Logically speaking, Cao Xuan can call Cao Yuanli by his first name. However, Cao Xuan called him elder brother to bring the relationship closer.
Cao Yuanli said: "Your Majesty, I request to lead troops to fight. Now that the Qi army is coming to kill us, it is already a matter of life and death for Wei. In the past, we had no gunpowder or cannons, so we were at a disadvantage in fighting."
"Because merchants have sent weapons, we now also have gunpowder and cannons. Our strength has been greatly enhanced. Under this premise, we can already fight."
"I sincerely request your Majesty's permission to lead troops to Guazhou City on the front line to resist the Qi army."
Cao Yuanli's eyes flashed with fighting spirit.
He couldn¡¯t wait to fight.
"No!"
Cao Xuan answered directly and decisively.
Cao Yuanli frowned and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Cao Xuandao: "My meaning is very simple. We don't need to go to Guazhou City to fight for the time being. What we have to do now is to lead the army to Puchang on the front line. The fighting in Guazhou City and Yiwu City on the front line , handed over to the local nobles and garrison."
"In the Western Region, although each place is said to submit, in fact, each place has its own strength, its own army, and its own nobles in power. In this case, we will let them fight with Qi first."
"Then, let's fight again."
Cao Xuan said: "Such an arrangement not only weakens the local nobles, but also weakens the power of Qi. For us, it is beneficial without any harm."
After hearing this, Cao Yuanli understood immediately. He was a veteran on the battlefield and an old man in the army. He knew very well Cao Xuan's intention, which was to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.
Cao Yuanli said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible, but I am being reckless."
Cao Xuan looked very determined and continued: "Brother, we must be prepared for a protracted war in this battle. I don't think that relying solely on the power of the nobles of the Western Regions can truly stop King Qi Qi."
"After all, Wang Qi is an extremely powerful person. Now, we still have to rely on ourselves. In fact, this time is also an opportunity to weaken the nobles of the Western Region. Only if their power is completely weakened. Only then can we truly unify the Western Region. At that time, not like now, we are the biggest force, and there are many other forces."
Cao Xuan flicked his sleeves and said: "Although the situation is unfavorable, we can still make plans and even take advantage of the fire."
Cao Yuanli said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Cao Xuandao: "Now that I understand, brother, go and prepare."
"According to the order!"
After Cao Yuanli received the order, he turned around and prepared to leave. But just when he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and said: "Your Majesty, who will guard the rear when the army goes out this time? In the past, it was Mr. Jia Yu who guarded Weiwu County and guarded the rear, so our rear is safe. Now , there must be truly reliable people guarding the rear."
Cao Xuandao: "This time, let Cao Yi guard the rear. He is a member of my Cao family, and he is also quite proficient in government affairs. With him in the rear, I expect that Gaochang County will be safe and can continuously provide us with resources. .¡±
Cao Yuanli said again: "Your Majesty is wise!"
He also knows Cao Yi. He is a rising star of the Cao family. He is over thirty years old, cautious by nature, and is quite proficient in government affairs. He is now assisting Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin wants to go out with Cao Xuan and leave Cao Yi to guard the rear. This is the most suitable arrangement.
Cao Yuanli stopped staying and turned around to leave.
Cao Xuan took advantage of the situation and arranged Cao Yi's affairs, so that Cao Yi was ready to take over government affairs and be responsible for the security of the rear. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
