Chapter 351 Who is it! On

The news of Hexi, which Li Xian had been waiting for a long time, finally came, but Li Xian was not happy. First of all, the timing was not suitable. At this time, Li Xulun had just been taken office. If Li Xian followed him and left, Gao Zong may have a lot of thoughts in his heart. In case of guilt, Li is not allowed. If you go to the frontier to suffer, the fun will not be great. Of course, this is just a small matter. Although it is difficult, if you want to find some ways, you are not afraid to solve it. What really bothers Li Xian is that the chaos in Hexi this time is really bigger, at least it is bigger than what Li Xian originally wanted to play. In this way, Li Xian was originally I planned to play a trick of "the wolf is coming", but I didn't expect that the wolf was really coming - Gar Qinling was going to send troops!

Li Xian has always regarded the gar Qinling as a big enemy. Although he had taught him a fierce lesson in the previous episode, which seemed to be a victory, Li Xian was very clear in his heart. The reason why he could win was just by surprise. When he really faced the enemy, who died was still in two hands. However, in the face of such a strong hand, Li Xian did not dare to be careless at all. He arranged the "Mingyi" people and horses to secretly penetrate all parts of Tuyuhun in order to grasp every move of the gar Qinling in time. This is also the root cause of Li Xianneng to know the general news before the dispatch of troops from the gar Qinling. Of course, within the time limit, the people of "Mingdi" can only grasp a small number of the leaders of the small and medium-sized tribes in Tuyuhun, and they can't know the detailed plan or even the accurate movement of the dispatch of troops by the gar Qinling, but the news that the gar Qinling is about to send troops is extremely reliable.

It's tricky. Although Li Xian is not afraid of gar Qinling, he doesn't want to fight with him again too early, especially if he doesn't want to destroy his governor Hexi's plan, but things are not transferred by Li Xian's will. This battle is inevitable. The root cause is that Tubo is extremely short of food - before Although Li Xian made a scene in Tuyuhun for only a month, the damage caused was amazing. Almost all the tribes that had been swept away were looted, and the whole southern part of Tuyuhun almost became a desolate place. The winter of that year became a nightmare for all parts of Tuyuhun. It was frozen and hungry and countless people died, even after a year old. The year's cultivation and recuperation were far from restoring the strength before the war. What made Tuyuhun worse worse was the epidemic this spring. A large number of cattle and sheep died of illness. Seeing that this winter was already difficult to survive, Gar Qinling had to have the idea of transferring the crisis, which was to attack Tangzhou and grab food rations to prepare for the winter.

In Li Xian's original plan, after the war the year before last, thegar Qinling did not have enough strength to launch the battle of attack and plunder. Li Xian could strive for several years to use it to conquer the base of Tubo, but he didn't expect that under a sudden plague, the galling had been forced. There is no way to go, and I have to take risks, and this poses two big problems for Li Xian - one is whether to go to Hexi or not, and the other is when to go?

Hexi must go! Just because Li Xian has no choice - to look at the world, there are not many places that can really make Li Xian's achievements. The most suitable one is the land of Anxi, which is far away from the emperor. Even if the land is poor and chaotic, for Li Xian, it is like a paradise for building achievements, whether it is the experiment of advanced weapons or the confid generals. In terms of cultivation, it is always the same. However, no matter how good Anxi is, Li Xian can't go. For nothing else, because of the identity of Princess Mingyue, the possibility of Li Xian going to Anxi is limited. As for the northeast side, now that Goguryeo has been destroyed, Silla is just a disease of stingworm. Li Xian can also play some flower work when he is there. But after all, it is impossible to test the actual results. In this way, it is only Hexi where Li Xian can be found. It is impossible for Li Xian not to go here because of the action of Er Qinling. However, when he should go is quite hesitant.

Li Xian has always been unwilling to fight an unprepared war. At this time, whether Gao Zong can agree or not, regardless of whether he really arrives at the ground, he is bound to catch up with the war. When the army is in chaos, it is difficult to stabilize the heart of the army, let alone win the battle. You should know, gar Qin Ling's attack is a fight to the death. It is no exawe to say that it is a backwater battle. If it can't stop its attack and plunder, once the territory is lost, it is difficult to protect Wuhou and the prince not to take the opportunity to give Li Xian some eye drops, and the old man is extremely soft-hearted. It is impossible for Li Xian to be driven to another place. The consequences are not serious. It's funny. If you go after the war, Li Xian's base plan is also extremely unfavorable. How heavy is the reconstruction work after the military disaster? Looking at this end, Li Xian is afraid that other things will be powerless. Obviously, it is even more undesirable to go after the war, and today's plan may only be a gamble!

On August 29 of the third year of Xianheng, Cheng Hedong, the governor of Tanzhou, urgently reported to Luoyang. He said that Tuyuhun's plague was rampant this spring, and the cattle and horses suffered heavy losses. He Lianqi, the leader of the Duo tribe, led the headquarters to descend and presented important military information. It is reported that the secret of Tubo Daxianggar Qinling transferred a total of 100,000 elite soldiers from the two tribes from the middle of the country. Entering Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun garrisoned 200,000 troops, a total of 35 soldiers and horses who wanted to plunder the border states of the Tang Dynasty. The military situation was urgent. He begged the emperor to send troops to prepare for the war. As soon as the news arrived, the government and the opposition were shocked. Li Xian, the prince of the country, did not dare to decide without authorization. He urgently reported to Gaozong on the sick couch. The emperor was angry and made the political affairs to discuss military affairs. At that time, it coincided with the completion of the "Gongling", and the national treasury was empty. In addition to being stretched out, it was difficult for the prime ministers to decide. There were people who held the theory of war and peace. They debated fiercely for a few days, but the matter was particularly undetermined. He had to report it to the emperor to ask for a holy judge. When the emperor heard about it, he announced that all the important ministers discussed this matter in the Qianyuan Hall.

"My dear dear, since I was successful, I have not been afraid of war. Today, Tubo children have repeatedly committed crimes against my Tang Dynasty three times. It can't be tolerated. I can't tolerate it. The public can have this chapter. Just play it."

Although Gao Zong's character is weak and cowardly, he has never been ambiguous in foreign wars. He knows that the treasury is empty at this time, and it is really difficult to send a large army to fight at the border gates, but he still doesn't want to give in to Tubo. Even if this disease is not particularly good, people can't even sit upright completely. They can only lean against the dragon** weakly. The color is as pale as paper, but when it comes to the war, the words are passionate. As soon as he opens his mouth, he has agreed for the court, and the intention of a large-scale war is undoubtedly revealed.

"Your Majesty, I think that the ambition of Tubo's little wolf should be killed!"

Hao Chujun was the main battle. At this time, as soon as he heard Gao Zong's words, he immediately stood up and echoed in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, I think that war is not necessary. However, the grain stored in the household is close to Xin, and the autumn grain in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet arrived. I am afraid that there will be a disadvantage in a strong war. I think this matter should be considered in the long way."

Li Jingxuanzhuhe, coupled with his management of the Ministry of Household, was responsible for raising food, and did not want to start the war lightly, so he stood up and euphemistically put forward his opposition.

"Otherwise, I think that Li Xiang's words are bad. It's difficult for me in the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo little bandit has just suffered from the plague. It's not more difficult than us. It can fight, but how can I give in. Although there is a shortage of grain in the warehouse, there is more surplus grain in Guanzhong. You can raise it first. Why is there no food available? I think it's a war, and I beg Your Majesty. The Holy Judge!" As soon as Li Jingxuan's voice fell, Liu Rengui, who was also the main war faction, immediately refuted.

"Your Majesty, I think that Liu Xiang's words are not appropriate. It is really inappropriate to disturb the people in order to fight for a moment of righteousness. I think that the Tubo children are coming to attack, and they can't ask for the food and ears of winter. If our army is strong and clear, it is not profitable, and they will definitely retreat. This is also a soldier who bends people without fighting. , or it can solve the disaster of the border. In the spring, we have all the grain and stalks, and we can take advantage of it to attack it. It is not comfortable. This minister's foolish opinion, please also ask your majesty.

Pei Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is from the old household department. He knows the difficulty of collecting grain and stalks. He does not agree with Liu Rengui's view, so he puts forward his own insistence as the top.

Well, the discussion party opened, and the war and the double convenience have been argued without concessions. They held their own opinions and were reasonable. Gao Zong was dizzy. He didn't know who to listen to. After thinking for a long time, he still did not comment on the views of both sides, but turned his eyes to the world famous for being good at war. On the left prime minister Pei Xingjian's body, he meditated and said, "Pei Aiqing has been at the border for a long time and knows the military affairs. In Yiqing's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Qinling is the government, and the ministers of Tubo are united, but it is not planned. It is appropriate to keep it. It is the best policy to wait for the change. Today, although the thieves are coming aggressively, there is no grain to continue, and their defeat is also fast. According to my opinion, it is enough to retreat from the enemy in two months. However, without the whole control, the states of Hexi will inevitably be in danger of being broken by each country. Although I am not talented, I am willing to serve your majesty in front of the army!"

In the past few days of the court, Pei Xingjian just listened, but never expressed his intention. It was not that he had no opinion on this war, but that he did not want to say it lightly. At this time, since Gao Zong had asked, Pei Xingjian no longer spoke silently and volunteered for his life.

"Father, my son thinks that what Pei Xiang said is right. However, Pei Xiang is the first auxiliary minister. It is very inappropriate to leave the court easily. My son has fought with Nagar Qinling several times. He is familiar with the length of his soldiers. According to what he saw, even if he only relies on the soldiers of Hexi, it is not difficult to win. He is willing to guard Hexi for his father to ensure that I am great. The appeasement of Tang Xijiang, please beg your father's approval!"

As soon as Pei Xingjian's voice fell, he didn't wait for Gao Zong to say something. Li Xian had flashed out of the side and invited himself to go on an expedition in a loud voice. His words were burning, and he instantly attracted the eyes of all the people in the hall...
