Zhao Jin listened to Xiao Ruoying's idea and felt that it was reasonable. Samiri is poor, greedy and cruel, and always drives away his followers to invade and plunder him. Good women always take good things for themselves and don't know how to sympathize with their subordinates. Such a person has completely lost his heart, and the unfavorable foreign war will inevitably lead to civil strife. You can wait for that time to send troops to fight him and make great achievements with little effort.

In addition, as the lord of the country, Zhao Jin, who personally led the army to fight can certainly improve morale, but it should not be too much. Secondary enemies can be dealt with. Xiao Ruoying also explained this point very clearly and concisely. It can be seen that Xiao Ruoyi has a lot of insight in the country. Zhao Jin thought, "It's worthy of being the descendant of the Xiao family. If you were my queen and work together with me, wouldn't I be like a tiger with wings?"

But such a powerful woman, isn't Zhao Jin afraid that she will become another Wu Zetian? Don't be afraid! Because Zhao Jin is not a monarch like Li Zhi. Strong women and strong ministers are likely to become hidden dangers in the hands of weak masters, but they can give full play to their role in the hands of strong masters. Zhao Jin wants to be a higher and stronger monarch, but he should not be afraid of the people around him and his subordinates. He should be confident that he will dominate them as God's test for himself and constantly improve himself. In this way, compared with the monarchs of other countries, you can be outstanding.

When Yanhan started the country, there were quite a lot of luck factors to lay the foundation of today. The enemy countries that have been eliminated so far are all countries of mediocre monarchs, and their national strength is not strong, which has become a food to feed Yan Han. The future is not so easy to do. Not to mention the distant Yuan Dynasty, the Haidu Khanate, the Illi Khanate, the Grand Duchy of Kiev, the Duchy of Moscow, etc. are not fuel-efficient lamps. The real exotic journey has just begun...

Zhao Jin then gave General Longhua and Kuangzhou Zhenfu Li Gui the power to send troops independently, so that he could wait for the opportunity to move and take advantage of the chaotic surprise attack to kill Samiri. In order to strengthen the strength of Li Gui's troops, 2,000 garrison were dispatched to enrich Kuangzhou, and the Turkic tribes were placed under the command of Li Gui.

More than half a month has passed, and it is already late autumn in October. Zhao Jin'an enjoyed a peaceful life, govern, studied, exercised, and took care of his concubines... He was living a full and happy life. Suddenly, on this day, the Azerbaijani envoy King Hassan came again.

"King Yanhan, all the blessings. Foreign minister Wang Jun, congratulations."

"Mr. Wang Jun, please get up. Welcome from afar.

Wang Hassan was given a seat and sat down to talk. He was anxious, but he still spoke rigidly. This is his habit. Even if he is in a hurry, he will not be happy: "King hero, benevolence. My country is now very sleepy. Prince of our country, hunting. The road is uneven and saves people. Two neighboring countries, collusion. Elli Khanate, support it.

Zhao Jin listened to him speak Chinese, but his language was unknown, but he was worried for him. Fortunately, he brought a national book, and Zhao Yuling translated and recited it before he knew that the situation was roughly like this——

After Georgian king Dimitri defeated the Chechen chief Samiri, he led his troops to counterattack. The Caucasus countries do not have clear boundaries, and there are many independent small ethnic groups between Georgia and Azerbaijan. The Georgian army chased Samiri separately, and some took the opportunity to attack small ethnic groups. Prince Erchim of Azerbaijan saw the Georgian army burning and looting while hunting in that area. Although it was not his own business, he was nosy and immediately led his entourage to kill more than a dozen Georgians and drive away the Georgian army.

This is not good. Dimitel was originally a brave and arrogant guy. After defeating Samiri, he was empty-mu and his men suffered the losses of Azerbaijanis. How could he swallow this breath? His wife, Du Lan, is the niece of Ababa, the king of Khan. The three countries of the Caucasus are all vassal states of the Illi Khanate. Just because Abai married the Byzantine princess and converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church, he was close to the Orthodox Georgia and married his brother Tekdi's daughter Dulan to Demeter. Now, Tekdi has become the current king of Illi Khan, and Dulan has been promoted to a princess. Dimitel is the son-in-law of the Illi Khanate. How can he tolerate Azerbaijan's disrespect for himself?

So Dimitel brought more than 1,000 people to find the field in person and fight with Erchim. However, Erchim is a stronger warrior than Dimittal, and Dimittal can't beat him. Erchim, with the help of the local small nation, killed Dimittal with hundreds of people.

Things are even bigger. Dimitri fled back to China in shame and angrily, gathered troops and horses, sent troops to the neighboring Kingdom of Armenia, and sent envoys to ask Tekdi, the king of Illi Khan, for help. In addition, Dimitel sent people to make peace with Chechen chief Samiri and asked him to participate in the attack on Azerbaijan. Samiri was heartless. Hearing that there were many beautiful women and gold in Azerbaijan, she readily agreed.

So Azerbaijan was immediately attacked by many enemies. Georgia and Armenia invaded in the west; Chechens and Ingushetia invaded in the northwest; the Ilili army had not yet moved out, but it caused a strong deterrent in the south. King Aggam of Azerbaijan was very frightened and quickly sent King Hassan to Zhao Jin for help.

Zhao Jin thought about it, this matter is really tricky! Send someone to send Wang Hassan to Guanyi to rest and discuss it on his own side. At present, important ministers are gathering in the outer palace, and the maid of honor came to report to Mu Yila for a meeting. Zhao Jin knew that she must be thinking about her parents' country, but she didn't want to listen to the pillow wind anymore. Zhao Yu said to the maid, "Let her wait for me in the inner palace, and I'll go after the meeting." But the maid said, "It was because of the king's meeting that Empress Mu wanted to see the king and the ministers. If the king doesn't like it, she only says three words.

"This..." Zhao Jin couldn't refuse and replied, "Okay."

Chao Muila is very smart and is usually good at acting coquettishly to please the king, but at this time, she does not do the pillow wind. She came to the meeting and said simply to the king and the important minister: "Normal people, if there is a fight, the daughter will naturally stand on the side of her parents' house, and her relatives will naturally help their relatives. I married Yan Han because I admired the power of the king; after coming here, I knew more about the loyalty of the ministers. I have become a king, and I am under the protection of the king, and I feel very peaceful. My motherland is the in-laws of the current country. I hope you can consider whether it can be protected or not.

In this way, the important ministers present are all moved. Who has no relatives, who ignores human feelings! They couldn't help but feel compassion.

Zhao Jin has such a concubine, not a troublemaker. He said it rationally and well, and he also felt that there was light on his face, so he nodded and said, "We understand. You can sit behind me and listen to our public discussion. Sit down with Muyira Shane. Zhao Jin turned his head and said to the important ministers, "What do you think?"

Before the words fell, two voices sounded at the same time: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

This is also the champion general He Pan and general Ganbasu. The two scrambled to say it. Seeing that the speed of the other party was comparable to their own, they were angry and looked at each other.

Dai stood up and arched his hand and said, "If the king is determined to march, the general will be willing to march." Yan Shizhong also stood up and only arched his hand when he saw Dai Degong say what he wanted to say.

"Don't worry." Zhao Jin saw that they were hot-blooded and praised, "You are all loyal and righteous men, which is urgent. Thank you very much on behalf of my concubine. Whether it is to enter the army or not, a conclusion must be reached. If it is not appropriate to enter the army, my beloved concubine is reasonable and will not be surprised. Don't worry."

The meaning of this is to encourage the important ministers to put forward negative opinions. In fact, Zhao Jin himself has already been hot-blooded and wants to announce immediately: "I have decided to send troops!" - but now he has been a monarch for several years and has learned to calm down. Running a country is like playing chess. If you are careless, you will lose the whole game.

This choice is of great importance. If you are not careful, you will fall out with the Ilili Khanate, and you will suffer a lot later. Therefore, Da Sima Li Tu and Da Situ He Anping thought about it over and over again and had nothing to say for a moment.

The atmosphere is solemn. Suddenly, a person stood up and said with a smile, "Weichen is lucky to participate in the national policy conference. I don't know if I can throw bricks to attract jade?"

At a glance, everyone was encouraged by the imperial historian Fang. Zhao Yu said, "Of course. What's your opinion?"

Fang Mianzhi arched his hand and said, "Although Weichen comes from a family, he is just a declining son. After ten years of abandoning Confucianism and being in business, I have to pay tribute to the holy face and the shy toilet. With the despicableness of a small minister, it is difficult to have profound knowledge, and he only cares about the benefits and harms of everything..."

Without finishing his words, He Pan roared, "You are nagging, get out with the master! Someone just waits for the main battle to come out and explain the truth.

Gamba also said quickly, "I want to listen to the high theory of the main battle. It's not the main battle. Go away with me!"

After listening to Guan Er, Zhao Jin suddenly realized that Xiao Ruoyi was sitting there. Don't let her feel that she was arrogant and had no way to control her subordinates. She quickly shouted, "Sit down, you two! Don't talk nonsense. Discussion is to listen to opinions. You can say whether you are in the main battle or not. How can you be so domineering? No matter how dare you talk nonsense, even if you want to fight, I won't be your vanguard. Then he said to Fang Mianzhi, "Don't hesitate to say it."

Fang Mianzhi was able to go on: "Dare to ask the lord and the lords: If Azerbaijan is destroyed by Georgia or destroyed by the Illi Khanate, is our country beneficial or harmful?"

Everyone looked at Fang Mianzhi and felt that this problem was self-evident. Zhao Yu said, "It's not to mention that it must be harmful. The Caucasus was originally controlled by the Illi Khanate, so at the beginning of the founding of our country, there were Illi's troops killing outside Anhan without any obstacles. Speaking of this, Zhao Jin looked at everyone. Li and He Anping followed the founding people and nodded deeply. Zhao Jin said again, "Last year, our country was able to send troops to intervene in the Caucasus. Our army occupied the iron gate and became a barrier to the south of our country. If the Elli army comes back, it will not be able to go straight into the hinterland of our country. And we got excellent pastures in the mountains and sea areas, and we can raise more military horses. With that, he turned his head to look at Chaomila and continued, "Fortunately, the king of Azerbaijan sent Wang Jun as an envoy to marry the princess to me. Since then, China and Azerbaijan have been closely interacting, mutually beneficial and complementary - for example, next year Azerbaijan will grow a large amount of cotton to supply China's textile needs. The shortage of cotton in China is expected to be solved! China is friendly with Azerbaijan, and the eastern part of the Caucasus has become our sphere of influence, which Illi naturally does not like. However, the Illi Khanate was forced by the Mamruq dynasty and had no time to look north. Moreover, after the Illi Khanate lost Damascus, weapons and iron weapons need to be obtained from China, which is not easy to directly turn against our country.

Zhao Yu said so much that He Pan and Gan Ba were stunned and couldn't understand them at all. They don't understand what these have to do with war or not. They are confused.

Xiao Ruoyi understood and nodded slightly. She knew that Yan Han supplied weapons to Yili and asked Zhao Jin if this was appropriate. Zhao Jin told her that the exchange of weapons for Eli's slaves and livestock is an urgent need of the country, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, the export of weapons is conducive to the development of Yan Han's weapons manufacturing industry, which tries to develop Anhan Prefecture and Oblast into a weapons capital like Damascus. In this way, the establishment of a strong military force is guaranteed in the long run.

"It is imperative to save the in-laws and fight for the land." Xiao Ruoying then said, "Previously, I advised my lord that he did not have to send troops to Chechnya for the time being, just because it was no business; now Azerbaijan is in danger, and it is an urgent matter, so it should not be delayed."

Li Da also said, "Lord, in my opinion, it is better to save him as soon as possible. Illi has not yet turned against our country, as can be seen from the direct dispatch of troops to Azerbaijan. If our army does not come out, Elli will send troops without any scruples!"

He Anping went further and said: "Georgia and Armenia, which previously sent troops to help Elli fight Mamruq, have been destroyed and the country is empty. This opportunity is not to be missed. In my opinion, the lord can not only save Azerbaijan, but also take advantage of the situation to attack the two countries. Given that Georgia is a close relative of Illi, Armenia is close to Illi, so it is not appropriate to destroy it, but it can be broken. In this way, China's prestige in the Caucasus will be greatly boosted and its power will be consolidated. Illi dares not despise our country and must restrain its country from invading Azerbaijan. In this way, you can have peace for a long time.

Zhao Yu stroked his palm and said, "What Da Situ said is extremely true. We just thought of rescue, but we didn't expect it to be of greater significance! However, if our army breaks through Georgia and Armenia, won't it overstit Illi to fight against our country?

He Anping arched his hand and said, "Master, there is no need to worry. But can I ask, if it is based on the theory of interests, should Yili be entangled with our country or compete with Ma Muluk?

Fang Mianzhi smiled and said, "Da Situ inquired about the subordinates, and the subordinates were favored!" If the subordinate is the king of Illi Khan, he will not care about the place where the birds do not lay eggs in the Caucasus. Moreover, the Illy cavalry are good at fighting on the ground, which is extremely unfavorable between the mountains of the Caucasus. Even if you want to fight, how to fight?"

After this discussion, the matter is very clear. Zhao Jin got up and said, "Very good! The rise of a country depends on hard work. Now that there is a chance to fight, why don't you fight? We tried our best to fight this battle and settle the Caucasus. Let's go back and think about the specific plan and discuss it tomorrow. The meeting is off!"
