The 227th Huishengzhou Incident

The news that Zong Zhengqing was persuaded to leave by His Majesty in front of the Wei Mansion spread throughout Chang'an City in less than a moment. All forces combined with a series of events finally understood a truth. It is not the time to make trouble at this time, and His Majesty is still very

Being young, making troubles has no effect at all. It can only bring endless troubles to the people he is loyal to. Even Master Cui Ren does not dare to be presumptuous at this time. He can safely assist Emperor Zhenguan in promoting recuperation and recuperation.

Under the auspices of the powerful monarch Lu Zhaoci, the policy of dividing people into acres, officials and gentry working as errands, and compromising with each other among various aristocratic families finally achieved initial results, and with the fourth year of Wude and the second year of Zhenguan

With the implementation of the imperial examination system, the strength of the Han clan in the imperial court has further increased again. Although it is far inferior to the strength of the high-ranking families, the rise is also quite fast. It has also allowed those poor scholars and children of the common people to advance.

Chance.

"Father, give me a hug, give me a hug." In the imperial garden, a little girl with pink makeup and a pink palace dress. The old man with pink hands spread out hugged a handsome young man.

.Looks very cute.

"Come, Yuzhang, let your father give you a hug as expected." Lu Zhaoci put down the memorial in his hand with a smile, and suddenly held his little daughter in his arms. This is the eldest daughter of the virtuous concubine Li Waner.

Only four years old, very cute. Now it is the sixth year of Zhenguan. Lu Zhaoci has many children, such as the prince Lu Chengzu, the king of Jing Lu Chengsi, the king of Shu Lu Ke, the king of Wu Lu Chengtai, the king of Lu Lu Chengxun, and the king of Yue Lu Chenglie. But her daughter is now

Only Lu Shanshan was named Princess Yuzhang, and Lu Rongrong was named Princess Jinyang. In the past four years, although the government was relatively stable, the growing princes began to have their own followers behind them. Even with Lu Zhaoci

He tried his best to suppress it, but the secret fighting still continued. The party struggle still existed, which was not something that the emperor Lu Zhaoci could eliminate. Therefore, when he was upset and angry, his daughter was his father's pistachio. In the royal family, he was favored.

It is not the prince Lu Chengzu, nor the king of Shu Lu Ke, but the princess of Yuzhang Lu Shanshan.

"My son, I have met my father." At this time, a young man with a heroic face came over.

"What, you're back from martial arts?" Lu Zhaoci held Princess Yuzhang in his arms and looked at the young man walking towards him. He had a handsome appearance, but there was a hint of violence between his eyebrows, which made Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but frown.

He frowned. People with such an appearance were mostly cruel people, which made Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"My son, I listened to Senior Brother Zu's talk about cavalry warfare today. I gained some insights after listening to it," Lu Chengsi said respectfully.

"Although learning martial arts is important, the most important thing is to cultivate your sentiments. You admire martial arts, but you are still far behind in tempering your own character." Lu Zhaoci still said lightly: "Sometimes, martial arts

It won't solve many things. You must stay calm when encountering problems in the future."

"My son, I have written it down." Lu Chengsi nodded and replied. Of course, only he knew whether he had really written it down. Lu Zhaoci sighed. He didn't know how to remind him of these words over the years.

It had happened so many times, but the way Lu Chengsi acted in private still made Lu Zhaoci very worried.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this time, a chubby guy broke in. Behind him, Qin Jiudao also ran along, with an angry look on his face.

"What's so alarming?" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed slightly. At this time, the only thing that could make Commander Jinyiwei so nervous was probably the only thing happening in the north. Could it be that Jieli Khan led his troops south again?

"Your Majesty, there is news from Yang Yi, a member of the Jinyi Guards at the border." Lu Qingyun carefully took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lu Zhaoci...

Lu Zhaoci reached out and took it. He took a closer look and his expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said to Lu Chengsi who was on the side: "Da Lang, let Yu Zhang play for a while."

"Father, is there going to be a war?" Lu Chengsi's eyes flashed with a strange look when he heard this, and his whole body shone with a strong murderous aura.

Lu Zhaoci's expression changed, but he still said: "You are still young, we will talk about these things later." Then he said to Lu Qingyun: "Go, let the seven auxiliary ministers go to the propaganda room."

"I obey the decree." Lu Qingyun did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered his subordinates to order the seven auxiliary ministers to enter the palace without mentioning it.

*********************************

"Talk about it! What do you think about the matter in Shengzhou? And the matter in Yunzhong. What do you think?" In the announcement room, Lu Zhaoci had a gloomy face and coldly snorted: "Jieli's big banner has appeared in Ding.

When Xiang arrived, the Tuli army also gathered in Shengzhou. They attacked Shengzhou day and night. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, after years of accumulation, our army is now able to fight against Jie Li." Cui Renshi said with confidence: "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

"Your Majesty, I think it is best to discuss this matter with the generals. Only they know the strength of our army, and only they know whether our army has the strength to fight against Jie Li." Master Cui Ren said calmly.

Lu Zhaoci glanced at him and saw that although his face was still as humble as before, his temples had turned gray and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which were obviously caused by years of hard work.

"Well, what Mr. Cen said is true." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said, "I ordered General Xu Shiji to come to see me. I also want to know whether our army can fight against Jieli's army this time.

.”

"No!" Qin Jiudao responded quickly.

"Jieli has been making waves on the grasslands in recent years. Not only has he sent troops to attack and annexed other weak tribes, his strength has increased a lot over the years. Although our dynasty has many years of savings, it is inherently deficient. The opponent has many war horses. In these years,

Although there were no major wars, there were constant small battles. Jie Li was learning from Guan Zhong! Attacking and harassing our country with a small force made our border unpeaceable and our army exhausted. It made the border residents suffer from the disaster of swordsmanship.

This Jieli is so shameless." Lu Zhaoci said fiercely.

"He is obstructing our move to restore national strength!" Changsun Wuji also nodded and said: "But if this battle breaks out, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but more importantly, our

Whether we can win or not is the most important thing. Over the years, we have been developing, but Jieli is also developing. We made a preliminary estimate. Jieli annexed Tiele, and Shiwei had about 400,000 cavalry.

, this is just the cavalry of the Ashina tribe. If you add the cavalry of the Tuli and other tribes, there will be at least 500,000 people. Your Majesty, there are 500,000 cavalry. We have only 20 war horses now.

There are thousands of horses, which is far less than the opponent. Although the infantry is very powerful, it does not take much advantage against the cavalry. The tactics of the generals may be very important, but in the battlefield, although these tactics are very important, both sides

If the disparity is too great, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory."

"Auxiliary machine means not to fight this battle?" Lu Zhaoci said calmly.

"If you can help it, don't fight." Changsun Wuji said without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I also thought that I would not fight if I could." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and said.

"What about the matter in Shengzhou and Yunzhong?" Lu Zhaoci snorted: "As the emperor of the empire, if I can't protect my people, then why should I be the emperor? I want to personally lead the troops to go out, even if it's a war

I am also willing to die on the battlefield. Hum, you are afraid of being beaten. Let me tell you, the Turks are also afraid of being beaten. I have tens of thousands of people, and how many Turkic people are there. I tell you,

Even if ten of my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty can exchange for the casualties of one Turkic soldier, it is still worth it.”….

"This?" Everyone was silent when they heard this. If Lu Zhaoci really followed Lu Zhaoci's idea, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops would be dispatched this time. Over the past few years, because of the work of the peasants and the officials and gentry,

With the implementation of the unified grain payment policy, the imperial treasury was full, and coupled with the accumulation of grain depots in various places during the Sui Dynasty, it was enough to feed the Tang Dynasty for decades. If a big war really had to be fought, the logistics would not be unsupportable.

But once the war begins, it cannot be stopped. The opponent's cavalry is too powerful. It is gratifying to win, but if it is defeated, the losses will be quite heavy, which will be a big blow to His Majesty's majesty.

What a blow!

"Your Majesty, Xu Shiji, pays homage to your Majesty." At this time, a dignified-looking middle-aged man entered the hall. It was Xu Shiji, the hussar general of the Tang Dynasty.

"Xu Aiqing, this is the intelligence I just received. Tuli's army has surrounded Shengzhou. Jieli's banners have been erected in the clouds. It's hard for Jieli's army to invade this time. I think

The cavalry rescued Shengzhou and defeated Jieli. I want to hear what you mean." Lu Zhaoci stood up and handed Xu Shiji the information he had just obtained.

Xu Shiji looked at it and said, "When I was passing through the Western Market, I found that there were many people selling war horses there. Most of them were good Turkic horses, and they were sold very cheaply."

"You mean to say that the Turks have no shortage of war horses this year, and the Turkic warriors have extra war horses. The strength of the Turkic army has increased? Isn't it suitable to fight the Turks at this time?" Lu Zhaoci said calmly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Shiji said quickly: "I understand your Majesty's love for the people very well, but you must know that every move of your Majesty is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Swordsmen are the most important weapons of the country! You must use them as a last resort.

It’s time not to move lightly.”

"You? Are you going to let the people of the two states fall into the hands of the Turks?" Lu Zhaoci said coldly.

"Your Majesty, although what the Hussars General said is a bit straightforward, it makes sense. Your Majesty, please consider it carefully." Cen Wenwen and others said in unison.

"Okay! I will consider what you say, please step aside first!" Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply, waved his hands and said, "I am tired and want to take a rest."

"I'll leave." Cen Wenwen and others did not dare to neglect and quickly retreated.

"Qin Jiudao! Prepare the car and go to Sanyuan." After a while, Lu Zhaoci sighed and said
