The red light outside the window filled the sky, and the dark night sky was also stained with fiery red halos. From time to time, there was a roaring noise outside.
In front of the table, Ludoson took a sip of the salty milk tea, then put down the ceramic cup, his calm and solemn expression was completely incompatible with the atmosphere outside, he said: "Da (Da) Rose of After the war, the Tang dynasty was poisoned by the Anshi chaos and had no time to look west. The forces gradually withdrew from the Western Regions. After many years of separatist warlords, and the melee of the Central Plains after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the'Chinese' forces never entered the Western Regions. It has been more than two hundred years."
Unexpectedly, Yang Ye seemed even more excited, "The officials have worked hard to restore the Han and Tang dynasties. Nowadays, tens of thousands of troops are exhibiting in Hexi. The time has come, and when will we wait!"
Lu Doxun watched Yang Ye a few times, guessing in his heart that the reason for his excitement was the dukedom of the country.
"General Yang said very true." Lu Duoxun said kindly, "but things are not that easy. The Central Plains has withdrawn from the Western Regions for more than two hundred years. Now the geography, water sources, countries, and sects are completely different. I don’t know much about the Western Regions, and I dare not act rashly to take the lives of the soldiers and the military expenses of the treasury."
Yang Ye frowned in thought.
Lu Duoxun said calmly: "The lower official had a suggestion that Wei Renpu, the deputy clerk, was obsessed with the Northwest. It is said that he came to Feng'an and saw the site of the ancient city of Han and Tang Dynasties. He couldn't cry. Wei Renpu was an official. One of the most important ministers around me must ask about the general military and national policies. If General Yang can send reliable people and get the support of Wei Renpu on this matter, the chance will be greatly increased."
Yang Ye immediately clasped his fist and said: "Thank you, Shi Lang Lu for your reminder."
Lu Doxun nodded: "The official must pour cold water on General Yang, and he can't get through with you. But the soldiers are the court, and the cost, military supplies, and luggage must also be supported by a lot of national strength. With the support of the family and the imperial court, General Yang’s effort to build the world is probably just thinking about it."
These sincere and heart-to-heart remarks caused Yang Ye's attitude to change drastically. He asked in a humble manner: "Lu Shilang's intention, first to the court?"
Lu Doxun shook his head again and said solemnly: "General Yang wants to do this, and he can't throw everything to the court; the court has a lot of civil and military skills, advocating all kinds of strange things, and decision-making requires parties to dispute and compromise, which is very troublesome and slow. "
Yang Ye said: "Ask Shilang Lu for advice."
Lu Duoxun touched the short beard of his chin, pondered for a long time and said: "Today Suzhou is still in the hands of the Uighurs; he has to discuss the melon and sand management with the Guiyi army. These things are not difficult, but they are very complicated and trivial. It takes time. During this time, you can send a horse to report the general plan of the imperial court, and wait for the imperial approval, and ask the Privy Council to send you a copy of the Han and Tang Western Regions Geographical Archives. The lower officials happen to have some plans..."
Yang Yedao: "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Doxun talked eloquently: "I have a strategy of two fights and one guarantee.
The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, Guanzhong and Longyou are declining, Hexi Xinde, supplies and foundations are unstable; it is undoubtedly an idiotic dream to send a large army to defeat the Western Regions by force. At this time, inheriting the remaining prestige of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and regaining prestige, first let the Western Regions countries not be able to ignore the power of the Western Regions. This is the goal and the best policy.
At this time, all the countries are fighting against the Xizhou Uighur (Kara Khanate), so much effort should be made to preside over the alliance’s face, fighting for the proof of the strength of the fighter Qingqi assaulting the Xizhou Uighur instead of speaking the vernacular; at the same time, we must keep Khotan. China, restore the military towns of the Western Regions, build strongholds in fortresses, and draw alliances with Khotan, not only to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, but also to penetrate the Western Regions and gradually understand the astronomical and geographic situation of the Western Regions.
The Li family of Yutian (Yuchi) had always made good relations with the Central Plains, and was once (later) canonized by the Jin Dynasty as a king and formed an alliance with the Guiyi Army. If you want to enter the Western Regions, you must be kind to Yutian. "
Yang Ye listened to this young man's words and said sincerely, "Shi Lang Lu is so young that he is heavily relied on by officials. He is really a talented person."
Yang Ye admired Lu Doxun’s plan very much, and sent his horse back to Beijing even if he was preparing for the memorial.
At this time, the troops departed from the Hexi Army camp stationed in Ganzhou, and exited the Hexi Corridor via Liangzhou (which had already surrendered and was stationed in Xu Army); going to Lingzhou, although the road detours far, there are already The stronghold and post of Xu Jun’s fortress are more secure; from Lingzhou to the south of Guanzhong, enter the hinterland of Daxu. The road from Hexi Corridor to Daxu City has been completely opened up.
……
In the study room of the Jinxiang Palace in Tokyo, there was a sudden "clam", Guo Shao didn't throw the cup, but slammed the cup heavily on the table.
The three ministers and an **** in front of him immediately bent down in unison. Guo Shao has the name of a benevolent gentleman and rarely vents his anger in public. Such performance is already very serious.
Zan Jurun said: "Feng Jiye has a bad reputation. Cao Gong knows that he still strongly recommends him. He is bold enough to employ Feng Jiye as the striker. It is really a burden to trust your majesty..."
Zan Jurun's voice echoed in the silent house, and it was very clear.
Guo Shao was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said: "I have also made a mistake. After all, I agreed with Feng Jiye. It is a mistake to let this person go to Jiaozhou."
How can the emperor be at fault? Zuo You preemptively said: "At that time, Cao Bin was on the North Road of Shu Kingdom, in the Southern Han Dynasty, so many fierce officers could restrain the officers and Qiu from committing crimes. In that case, Feng Jiye should be restrained. Your Majesty did not trust Cao Bin. What's more, even if Cao Bin uses Feng Jiye, he should not be placed in the position of the leader..."
"Finally, I won't mention the merits and demerits for the time being. How to modify the Jiaozhou strategy now?" Guo Shao said, "To discuss politics tomorrow morning, ask the ministers first." He said, waved his hand a little unhappy.
Several people stopped talking and retired in worship.
There are many opinions on this matter in North Korea and China. Some advocated increasing troops to Jiaozhou, using important towns as strongholds and building post roads and posts along the main waterways, forming countless cities, forts, and outposts along the post roads to form a three-tier network of governing order, fully occupying Jiaozhou and implementing military rule. Attack on the territory of Dingbu territory, search for key criminals, win over local tycoons, exile criminals from the Central Plains and relocate households, send seed farming cattle to reduce taxes, build school building instruction, Wanghua people, promulgate laws...expensive, more I don't know when it will work, and the cost is a bottomless pit.
Some advocated abandoning Jiaozhou, occupying coastal strongholds, and slowly drawing in the new Jiaozhou forces. Hundreds of people in Xu's army can firmly defend a Liuhua Fort. This idea is very economical.
Guo Shao did not express his position, but sighed again: "People are unwilling to agree. It is hard to find approval."
Soon, Northwest Yangye's memorial arrived in Tokyo.
Guo Shao felt a little relieved to learn that Yang Ye had put down Longyou and Hexi at a small price and let the tribes surrender. Looking closely at the strategy proposed by Yang Ye and Lu Duoxun, he praised: "Aim for the long-term and start to be pragmatic."
However, Guo Shao understands that the situation in the Western Regions is more complicated than the mixed ethnicity of Hexi Longyou, and there are also sect issues. The Western Regions are too far and too complicated. The expansion of influence and power to the west is a long-term process. It cannot be done overnight. There is no shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain.
While discussing with the minister, he approved Yang Ye's memorial and wanted to remind Yang Ye not to be reckless.
The **** Yang Shiliang played secretly. On the horse team returning from the northwest, there were literati and aides lobbying the Privy Council. Guo Shao asked Yang Shiliang to send someone to visit him.
Guo Shao’s words did not fall on the paper, and left and right, he said something to Yang Ye’s staff: "After you have been to Tokyo, I will go back and bring Yang Ye a word: this scene, It is wise to be safe and wise."
There is nothing else, but Guo Shao knows that Yang Ye must understand.
Since Yang Ye's staff came to Tokyo, what happened in Jiaozhou, and can the news not be brought back to the northwest? Cao Bin has disappointed the emperor a bit, and Yang Ye has already held the prestige and deeds of pacifying Longyou Hexi in his hands. If you don't lose or you won, risky behavior is only suitable for the inferior who hope to fight back. "Safe and wise" is This meaning.
One month later, Cao Bin's memorial arrived in Tokyo. He played again, asking for an increase in military spending, and proposed a new strategy.
Cao Bin, please set up a "Caozhi Province" to build a harbor and a fort along the east coast of Jiaozhou, and then build strongholds and post roads along the Taiping River to Luocheng. Taking Luocheng as the capital of Jiaozhi province, occupying the capital and the main road area leading to the East China Sea, and then gradually drawing Jiaozhou people to work in the capital and the local government, suppressing and governing Jiaozhou.
Guo Shao asked the Central Minister’s suggestion in the Chamber of Deputies. He thought it was a more modest remedy, so he adopted the suggestion of Cao Bin, who had a better understanding of the situation on the ground. At the same time, he ordered Feng Jiye to be recalled and Cao Bin to reappoint generals.
Guiding Jiaozhou was a national policy that Guo Shao made in the court after a lot of hard work. He thinks this matter is of great significance, so he is not willing to give up anyway, he has to go on!
At this time, both the Western Regions and Jiaozhou have become protracted persistence.
Guo Shao stood on the high platform of the Jinxiang Hall, looking at the white clouds surging in the sky, thinking about Cao Bin and Yang Ye in his heart, faintly, he felt as if he was communicating with the sky...a fate Feeling flooded my heart.
Yang Ye, who originally left a great reputation in the history of youth, may still stand out here. After going around many turns, the destiny seems to be totally different, and it seems very similar to each other mysteriously.
So, what is the fate of Da Xu Dynasty? Thousands of years later, it may be called "Qin Han Tang Xu"...
