Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The winter snow in Youjing has melted.

    By the Yongji Canal, young people are outing and shooting willows for fun. On the road are young people riding lightly dressed horses.

    Youjing is located in the north. In recent years, it has been with the Hu people for a long time. The folk customs have become more open. The women's clothing is not veiled, showing their faces directly and generously.

    The proportion of orchids in Youjing City is also extremely high, because orchids are beautiful and do not cost a lot of money like marrying a Han woman.

    Therefore, there are more and more Hu Ji wives in Youjing, and intermarriage between Hu and Han is commonplace.

    In the palace of Youjing.

    The hall is filled with hundreds of officials. These are all important ministers of the Zhao Dynasty. There are many white-haired veterans and newly promoted young ministers. In addition to Han ministers, there are also more than a dozen people who were born in the barbarians.  of ministers.

    For example, Tuli, Ashina Momo, etc., apart from the Turks, they have the most Shidexi people. They all graduated from Chang'an Imperial College and were directly awarded officials. In addition to Shidexi people, there are also  Khitan, officials from various ministries of Dingling.

    Although the hall was full of people, none of the officials dared to speak.

    In the main hall, Li Chongjiu was sitting in a dragon robe, carefully watching the battle reports sent from all walks of life.  Li Chongjiu just sat casually, but the ministers in front of him did not dare to make any mistakes and stood up straight.

    Many young officials had sweat dripping from their foreheads.

    "It was not Li Chongjiu's intention, it was just that the great power in the world gathered one person. Under such imperial power, people can't help but be in awe.

    Now Li Chongjiu learned that Li Jiancheng went to the Hot Spring Palace to plead guilty to Li Yuan because of Yang Wenqian's rebellion.  Cao Wen sent the matter to Li Chongjiu and said that Li Tang was likely to have a great turmoil.

    Li Chongjiu made his decision immediately after reading Cao Wen¡¯s letter.  He ordered Wen Yanbo and others: "In accordance with my decree, I ordered Su Su, who was stationed in Taiyuan, to lead the Taiyuan County troops to launch an attack on Hedong. At the same time, he also ordered Liang Shidu, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Changxun to lead the Han army, as well as Dangxiang and Ji.  Hu's troops allied forces to attack Duan Decao, cooperating with Su Su's advance."

    "Xu Shiji, who is stationed in Luoyang, and Shan Xiongxin are attacking Henan. They not only want to conquer the lost territory, but also test Li Tang's strength. Li Jing is a famous general. Don't underestimate the enemy."

    "In addition, Wang Mahan is ordered to lead 20,000 troops and lead the army south from Yongji Canal to Liyang to attack Hanoi! Li Shentong, an incompetent general, must capture him alive."

    After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Ji Chuan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we have just defeated the Turks, and our strength has not recovered. Moreover, we had a series of battles last year. The soldiers were very tired, and things were not ready now, so they suddenly attacked Li Tang.  I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no chance of winning.¡±

    Lin Dangfeng also said: "Yes. Your Majesty, with the current treasury and grain and grass reserves, it is safe to delay the invasion of the army for at least half a year, and the grassland has not yet been truly pacified. Goguryeo Eulji Mundeok's rebellion, Southern Song Dynasty King Kong and Lin Shihong  Fight. The winner has not yet been decided, and the time to attack Tang Dynasty is not yet ripe."

    Li Chongjiu glanced at Ji Chuan, and Lin Dangfeng and Lin Dangfeng said: "We can't wait until everything is ready before attacking. The opportunity is fleeting. Back then, Yuan Shao had a chance to destroy Cao Cao, but he refused to send troops because of his son's illness. In the end, he failed.  Now I have strong soldiers and horses, and although I am stronger than Li Tang, I don¡¯t dare to be careless. The Li family and his son are both dragons among men, and they may not have the power to turn over. Now that Li Tang has revealed his flaws, I will be ruthless  Our attack is to attack the Tang Dynasty no matter how difficult it is in the country!"

    When Li Chongjiu said this, all the ministers looked shocked.  Ji Chuan and Lin Dangfeng did not dare to object anymore and both said yes.

    "We have hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry to support us. Now the Western Turks are also turning towards us. With Li Tang's heavy troops stationed in Chang'an, there is no spare power to fight back."

    If before the Turks were pacified, the Zhao Kingdom¡¯s grassland cavalry had been unable to liberate and fought Li Tang with one hand, then now they have to fight with both hands.

    "Of course I won't be careless. The situation on the grassland still needs the 100,000 cavalry from the Xi Department to stabilize. This time I will let them move around the Hexi area, assuming a posture of attacking Guanzhong, and then act according to the opportunity!  "

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Li Chongjiu ordered Ulji Mundeok to depose the emperor, but Ulji Mundeok refused, and sent troops to garrison the Thousand Miles of Great Wall, assuming a fight to the end.

    At that moment, Li Chongjiu ordered Guo Xiaoke, Tu Diji, and the governor of Liaodong County Zhouzhou, who had returned from Liaodong, to attack Goguryeo from the north and south. Guo Xiaoke, the army on the north route, with Mohe and Khitan cavalry as the vanguard, directly took the inner city of the old capital of Goguryeo.  Zhouzhou crossed the Liao River, led the troops of Liaodong County, and besieged Liaodong City.

    In addition, Li Chongjiu also presented his credentials to Baekje and Silla.??Let them send troops from the south to cooperate in the attack on Goguryeo. Princess Deman, who is now in charge of Silla, and King Baekje did not dare to disobey Li Chongjiu's order, and sent land and sea armies to attack Pyongyang respectively. Li Chongjiu sent navy general Cheng Mingzhen and navy commander Zhao Xin.  , dispatched troops from Dengzhou, led the Zhao navy with 10,000 troops, fought across the sea, cooperated with Silla and Baekje, and attacked Pyongyang.

    As soon as these five armies came out, the country of Goguryeo was shocked. Eulji Wende immediately asked Li Chongjiu to remove the imperial title and be willing to be his vassal.  Li Chongjiu sent his whip out of Youjing City, ordered the army to attack, and directly brought Eulji Wende's head to see him.

    On the other hand, the war between Song Jingang and Xiao Mian against Lin Shihong is also continuing.

    In February, Xiao Xian led 20,000 Jiangnan naval forces up the Yangtze River to attack Poyang Lake, the base camp of Lin Shihong's navy.

    On the other hand, Song Jingang led the newly formed Jianghuai elite, with the Jianghuai Army's Double Dragon King Xiongdan and Kan Leng as the vanguard, and led 30,000 troops south from Jiangdu to join forces with Xiao Xian.

    After Lin Shihong heard the news, he immediately mobilized the troops of the Chu State. With his younger brother Lin Yaoshi as the general, he led an army of 30,000 to Poyang Lake for a decisive battle with the Zhao army.

    Lin Shihong knew that if he waited for Song Jingang's main army to arrive, the battle would be lost without fighting.  So Lin Shihong made a desperate move and led 30,000 troops to attack Xiao Mian first.

    The two armies fought a bloody battle at Poyang Lake. Xiao Mian lost three battles in a row in the first battle, but later stabilized his position and held up until Song Jingang's army arrived.  When Lin Shihong saw Song Jingang's army approaching, he knew he was outmatched, so he abandoned Jiujiang and left. The Zhao army took advantage of the situation and captured Jiujiang.

    After Song Jingang occupied Jiujiang, Lin Shihong's base camp, he immediately defeated Li Chongjiu. On the other hand, he ordered Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng to pursue Lin Shihong.

    At the same time, Song Jingang ordered Xiao Xian to lead an army to the Lingnan area, which not only prevented Lin Shihong from escaping south, but also showed off his force to frighten Feng An, the leader of the Li people who occupied the land south of Lingnan.

    Now Li Chongjiu decided to take advantage of the civil strife in Li Tang and send troops to attack Li Tang. This three-sided attack really surprised everyone.

    But at the same time, everyone also felt the strength of Zhao State. With Zhao State¡¯s military strength, it does have this capital today.

    ¡°And Li Chongjiu doesn¡¯t need to fight in person, he just needs to sit in the main hall and strategize thousands of miles away.  Generals who are capable on all sides and can stand alone can be trusted.

    Li Chongjiu sat in the hall, and the ministers below bowed their heads. After the ministers discussed the political orders one by one, they were issued in the form of an imperial edict.

    Although Li Chongjiu is not a dictatorial person, and this is not the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Li Chongjiu issued an order one by one, the ministers of Zhao State did not question it much. Numerous critics such as Wei Zheng, Ji Chuan and others have become increasingly rare.  Even if he objected to the advice in the main hall, he didn't dare to persuade him again after seeing Li Chongjiu's persistence.

    There are even fewer children from other aristocratic families, veterans of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and even Wen Yanbo, the Prime Minister of Taiping.

    It¡¯s not that they dare not speak out, but that Li Chongjiu¡¯s achievements are too great at the moment, after he suppressed the Turks and created this unparalleled martial arts feat.  Li Chongjiu's current prestige is unmatched. His words are golden rules and few people will question them.

    Ministers are always worried that if Li Chong has too much power in the Nine Emperors, he will make the same mistake as Yang Guang did.  But in fact, the more powerful the Zhao emperor was, the more powerful he was in all aspects of war.

    Since the founding of the country, the strong centralization of power has been implemented, coupled with the prestige of the nine people of Li Chong, the imperial power of Zhao under this is extremely powerful.

    Under the powerful imperial power, whether it is the Hebei gentry who are proud of themselves and look down on other sects, the Hedong gentry who are geographically different from the Hebei gentry, old officials from the previous court, newly promoted officials from poor families, or businessmen who have a large amount of business resources and information.  The internal conflicts among officials and even the Hu people in the grassland who had always been at odds with the Han people were suppressed.

    Mutual strife is reduced to a minimum, and under the imperial power, everyone is twisted together. If things go on like this for a few years, ten or twenty years, new interest groups will be formed, and a set of unspoken rules that will be followed by all will be formed.  Implement.

    But before that, only strong imperial power could maintain the different factions in the Zhao Empire.  Li Chongjiu still envies Li Yuan for this, because he only needs to handle the relationship with Guanlong Group well.

    The promulgation of government decrees and a few random words can change the lives of thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people.

    Everyone has become accustomed to the fact that this vast Zhao Empire is dominated by this hall.

    At night, the lights were lit and most of the officials had dispersed, but there were still a dozen officials reporting matters in front of Li Chongjiu.

    And the officials on duty in His Highness¡¯s Zhongshu Province will send battle reports one after another from outside at any time.  There was a queue outside the palace again, and the officials were waiting to receive Li Chongjiu with the memorials in their hands.

    This is also Li Chongjiu¡¯s decision. Since the war began,?, he deprived Zhongshu of the power of drafting, and all information about the war situation, no matter how big or small, was presented to him for personal review.

    Under this situation, the workload of officials in Zhongshu Province has increased tenfold, and Li Chongjiu's workload has also been greatly increased. However, Li Chongjiu is still full of energy even after working. People can't help but admire the abundant energy of this emperor of Zhao.  Only such a person can take care of everything on a day-to-day basis and handle the affairs of the entire country in an orderly manner.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
