    "It's really lively." The young eunuch standing guard in front of Qinzhengwu's main building muttered lowly.  In the past few years, Li Longji has rarely held court meetings like this. Today, the civil and military generals of the dynasty are so crowded in the main building. It has been rare since the young eunuchs entered the palace.  "It's naturally lively, everyone is here to see the fun" someone said in a low voice.  "It's so good, how come it's like this." "It's not Wang Zhun who caused the trouble. Doctor Wang controls the Yushitai. Although Yuan Gongdao disagrees with him, he can't stop him from criticizing Ye Chang with his official words. It's just who  They never thought that Ye Changming did not defend himself on the surface, but actually produced the "People's Daily" This is great, it caused an uproar, and the whole world knew" "Have you read this issue of the "People's Daily"  ?" "Of course I have seen it, the things inside are very interesting." "Don't brag, you are illiterate." "Isn't there someone reading the newspaper?" They whispered outside the Qin Zheng Wu Building.  There was already a quarrel in the building, but the content of the dispute had long since shifted from whether Ye Chang was the culprit behind Wang Zhun's murder to whether Min Bao was collecting news like Confucius or just like a football club's football report.  It's purely businessman behavior.  In recent years, football drama in Datang has developed rapidly. Businessmen not only spontaneously organized football clubs and published advertisements, but also engaged in betting on football.  As long as there is betting on football, football reports are indispensable. They are crude products printed on long strips of paper that introduce the players of each team and the results and losses.  Movable type printing is no longer a secret now, and even the ink has been invented. If it weren't for the name of Ye Chang's printing company, it would no longer have an advantage in the competition.  This kind of change makes Ye Chang marvel at it occasionally. Don't underestimate the ancients.  Ye Chang did not say anything. Now in the court, there is no need for him to personally intervene in such a dispute.  Yuan Gongdao is naturally his vanguard. As Yushi Zhongcheng, Yuan Gongdao can fully play a role in such situations. Not only that, these years of management have allowed him to have some of his own team members in the court.  What¡¯s more important is that those courtiers with literati origins almost overwhelmingly supported the Minbao.  No one would think that they have too much power. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can realize that this new thing means that they, who can write articles, can bypass the censorship and directly control the public opinion.  "Doctor Wang only said the word "forbidden", and the minister remembered that when Jie used the sorcerer's words to ban the people, the people's roads were blocked, and then Xia Yin perished. Guarding the mouths of the people is better than guarding the rivers, and the king himself is  The Imperial Censor, who should have opened up his voice, but only wanted to do this because of personal grudges, treating the saints like Jie and Zhou, is no longer suitable to be the Imperial Censor." A lowly minister of no more than six grades impassionedly shouted in front of the palace, shouting at the top of his lungs:  "There are evil tigers in the censor's palace that eat people, and there are big tigers that ask the saints to kill the national thieves in order to set the record straight." Compared with being an official, these ministers who write articles are certainly no match for the kings, but compared to eloquent quotations from scriptures, even if the king  He was in control of the Yushitai, but he was forced to speak out by waves of noise.  Li Longji is really bored.  He is not stupid, so he is fully aware of all the activities behind the grudge between Wang and Ye Chang. However, everyone wants to make things worse, but he cannot maintain the appearance of a harmonious and prosperous world.  "The power has not been lost from his own hands, they are so disturbing." The more he thought about it, the angrier Li Longji became. As for what the appearance of the newspaper meant, he didn't bother to think about it in detail.  He also read the newspaper, which contained strange tales from the market, as well as poems and songs. Even when it came to the incident of Wang Zhun's murder, he covered it up and only mentioned that it was Wang. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this.  He was sullen, trying to find a way to solve this problem. At this moment, he heard the warrior outside reporting: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Anxi." "Huh?" Li Longji perked up. Originally, he didn't like it.  To deal with these complicated chores, but now, I hope that the news coming from Anxi is a troublesome thing, which can at least temporarily cover up the various disputes in the court.  "Quickly pass the message to the palace." He ordered.  After a while, a military general came in panting. After entering the gate, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Shi Kingdom has no courtesy. Ambassador Gao was ordered to destroy it. However, his prince fled to Zhuhu and attracted the food and dog soldiers.  When they come to attack, Ambassador Gao has sent out Tibetan soldiers from Geluolu and Bahan, and he and the Beiting Protector King Zhengjian have divided their troops into two groups and gone to meet them. "Although Li Longji was eager for something to happen in Anxi to distract the attention of the courtiers, he  Hearing this news, I still couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.  Ye Chang¡¯s repeated warnings came to mind one by one.  The battle in Anxi will take place outside Congling, unlike those near the Central Plains, or even different from Hexi and Jiannan. The most serious problem plaguing the Tang Dynasty there is supply, the supply of soldiers, materials, and ordnance.  Supplies must travel thousands of miles or even twelve thousand miles.to be delivered to the destination.  "Dashi in black and Quan Rong joined hands?" he asked.  "Indeed, we joined hands, Dashi came from the west, Quanrong came from the south, and attacked Anxi. The Hu people in Congling said that Dashi had 80,000 troops, and there were also 200,000 troops from the rebel Hu tribes in the river, a total of 280,000. Therefore, Ambassador Gao invited the court  Send reinforcements quickly, the military report is here." "Originally, this kind of thing had to go through the prime minister before it would reach the hands of Li Longji. Now that Li Linfu has taken office, Chen Xilie has not yet been able to take over the whole thing, and Yang Zhao is just watching with eagerness, and it happens to be the meeting of the great dynasty.  , the matter went directly into Li Longji's hands.  As soon as he heard about the 280,000 black-clad troops and the allied troops of the Hu, Li Longji suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. However, he had weathered the storm for a long time, but the color on his face did not change: "What is the strength of the Dog Rong army?" "The Dog Rong army?"  It is said that it has entered Bohe Prefecture since Dabolu, and it is intended to cross the Congling Mountains and enter Khotan. "The combined army of Dashi and Quanrong has 380,000 people. Even though it is claimed, it is mostly empty.  , but the number should be around 250,000. The Tang Dynasty currently has only 490,000 standing troops and horses in the country. The total number of troops and horses in Anxi and Beiting is only 44,000, plus Ge Luolu and Ba  The two vassal states of Khan had only one hundred thousand troops. Li Longji only felt a little pain in his forehead.  At this time, he suddenly missed Li Linfu.  If Li Linfu were here, there would be no need for him to worry about such things. "What do you think?" He looked at everyone, and the first thing he looked at was Chen Xilie, who was now the sole prime minister.  Chen Xilie frowned and said decisively: "The important affairs of the country are in the army and the sacrifice. On the contrary, the other things are just trivial. The saint selects wise and brave men, selects elite soldiers, and supports Gao Xianzhi." "Where do the soldiers come from, and the soldiers follow  Where did it come from?" Li Longji asked.  Chen Xilie was about to say something, but suddenly his heart trembled, and he retracted what he said.  He originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off his ability to handle crises and take over Li Linfu's power openly, but suddenly, he thought of something.  Ye Chang was recalled to the capital before Could it be that the emperor had already expected this to happen, so he made preparations. Ye Chang had done very well in Liaodong and Yunnan before. Whether it was military strategy or political strategy, he was unparalleled in the Tang Dynasty.  .  But it is precisely because he has done so well that Liaodong and Yunnan are now somewhat obedient to his orders. Although the court's orders are smooth, the interests of Liaodong and Yunnan are almost entirely monopolized by him. Other powerful and powerful families,  You can only pick up some bargains from his fingers.  People's hearts are always weak. Seeing that the situation in Liaodong has stabilized, whether it is land reclamation or business there, it has become a sure-profit business. Who among the powerful people in the capital would not want to move Ye Chang? Chen Xilie,  Without decisiveness and courage, there is no interface between worrying about gains and losses.  Li Longji couldn't have been waiting for his reaction. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he jumped over a few people and looked directly at Yang Zhao.  Yang Zhao came out and said: "I also think that what Prime Minister Chen said is very true. We should select famous generals and deploy powerful soldiers to aid Anxi." "Where will the generals come from and where will the soldiers come from?" Li Longji said with some boredom.  Ye Chang saw this scene from the side, and the corners of his mouth curved up, showing a slight smile.  I really can¡¯t wait, but both Li Longji and Yang Zhao¡¯s acting skills are very good. Li Longji is worthy of being the founder of Liyuan, and Yang Zhao has really made great progress.  I am afraid that most of the people in the Qinzhengwu Building know where they will come from and where the soldiers will come from.  Yang Zhao said unhurriedly: "We have countless good generals in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them are guarding outside. Now there are not many in the capital. We must choose one who has experience in border affairs, has repeatedly made military achievements, and can care for the army internally.  People who can deter the enemy from outside. Moreover, Anxi is far away from Chang'an, the longest distance is 12,000 miles, and there will inevitably be delays in supplying Chang'an. Therefore, the person selected must also be good at economics and be able to manage the frontier for the Tang Dynasty.  From what I can see, this person is none other than Ye Chang." Everyone's eyes flickered and they all looked at Ye Chang.  Chen Xilie sighed secretly when he saw Ye Chang's expression remained unchanged.  Wang's original suggestion was correct. If they could hold Ye Chang back, they would have an advantage over Yang Zhao. After all, Ye Chang had military power in his hands.  But it's a pity that Wang's damn son ruined the big thing. Now Wang and Ye Chang have turned against each other. In order to consolidate the alliance with Wang, he can't keep Ye Chang in Chang'an.  He didn¡¯t object, and neither did anyone else. Even Wang, who was determined to hold Ye Chang accountable, didn¡¯t object.  But Ye Chang remained silent and showed no reaction.  Yang Zhao was a little anxious. He knew that Ye Chang was not really interested in being an official. If he was really desperate and Ye Chang refused to resign or pretended to be ill, he would not be able to drive Ye Chang out of Chang'an and stay.  How could he sleep with such a disaster?  "Ye Chang, what do you think?" Seeing that Ye Chang was silent, Li Longji reluctantly spoke.  "Yang Zhao seems to have not finished speaking. I don't know how to start." Ye Chang said.  "Uh" Li Longji glanced at Yang Zhao, who saidHer fair face turned the color of pig liver.  Yang Zhao has finished what he wants to express, why does Ye Chang still say that he has not finished?  "I've finished my words." Yang Zhao took a breath to calm himself down, and then said.  "Impossible, didn't you just say that you wanted to select generals and transfer soldiers? Your brothers Shuhan, An Sishun, and Li Xianzhong, who are closer to Anxi and Beiting, are all strong generals. You didn't recommend them, but you recommended me who are far away.  People from Chang'an, I will recommend you, but when the sage asked you where the soldiers came from, why didn't you tell me, do you want me, Ye Chang, to fight alone into the Allied Forces of the Big Food Dog Rong?" There was a hint in Ye Chang's words.  Everyone can hear the resentment, but it is strange that there is no resentment. If Liaodong is what he wants to go to, Yunnan has already been tricked by Yang Zhao and dragged him into the water. Now that something is happening in Anxi, he wants to remove him from the beginning.  Yunnan was transferred away after the results were achieved. His intentions were evil, and those who can bear it will become saints.  Li Longji smiled slightly while sitting on the throne: I thought that Ye Chang was a traitor, a loyal person, a hypocrite and a saint. Now it seems that he also has grievances. First he broke Wang Zhun's leg, and now he is in charge of the court.  To prevent Yang Zhao from stepping down As long as he is a human being, he is always easy to control.  "Yang Qing, what Ye Qing said makes sense, where do you think the soldiers came from?" Yang Zhao's face turned even more purple. He was only thinking about how to torture Ye Chang, and he did not consider this detail.  Deployment of troops is not a trivial matter. Not only do you have to worry about whether barbarians will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in after the troops are transferred, but you also need to consider whether the transferred troops can obey the command.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  When Li Longji saw that Yang Zhao was silent, he felt a little unhappy.  However, things cannot remain stagnant here forever. It was Li Longji's definite strategy to send Ye Chang to Anxi to prevent him from operating in the army for too long.  Different from the other side generals who were served by Hu people, Li Longji felt that Ye Chang was a greater threat to him. The key was that the Hu people also needed to rely on the money and food from the central government to support the situation, and Ye Chang only  It will take two or three years to become less dependent on the material supply from the imperial center.  "Ye Qing, I also feel that if there is anyone who can solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, it is you." Li Longji said with a smile: "You have been sharing my worries for the past seven years, and I will keep it in mind." "Manpower  When you are poor" "You never disappoint me. Tell me, where do you need to mobilize your troops?" Some of the ministers could hardly hold back their laughter. Li Longji was clearly eager to send Ye away.  Chang is such a troublemaker.  Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then said: "The troops and horses are too far away, and even if they are mobilized, they may not be able to reach them all at once. With my wishes, I would like to send troops from Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou to gather in Xizhou."  , I only want soldiers, not generals. I appointed Gao Shi as the deputy envoy of Jiannan Festival and the envoy of soldiers and horses, and ordered the barbarians to attack the Quan Rong from Tieqiao City, and sent An Sishun and Ge Shuhan to pretend to attack the Quan Rong from the stone castle.  " "Send envoys and monks from Yunnan to Tianzhu to observe the situation of Dashi in Tianzhu. If we can contact the countries of Tianzhu, we can attack Dashi in a pinch. Send envoys and tell all the tribes to attack and stabilize Beiting  ¡­¡± Ye Chang was talking eloquently among the ministers, whether it was military affairs or diplomacy, short-term plans or long-term strategies. When everyone heard that he had arranged things in an orderly manner, they knew that he was by no means unprepared for this.  At the end of the sentence, Ye Chang raised his face and looked at Li Longji: "It's okay for me to go to Anxi. It's just that I and Gao Xianzhi, who is the right one and who is the deputy, please ask the saint to make a decision here."
