Chapter 936 Who goes to Gubeikou?
Yuwen Shu presented his radical strategy.
Before the negotiations began, Anzhou deliberately took away the initiative and took the initiative, forcing the Great Wall to compromise and retreat to Anzhou. This was a great humiliation for the Holy Lord and the Central Government. In fact, compromise was not a big deal, but it was led by the small Anzhou and humiliated by a group of stingy thieves. This was a big deal. This seriously damaged the dignity and face of the Celestial Empire, provoked the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Government, and had to give a head-on blow, and Anzhou must pay a heavy price. The best way is to kill people with a knife, and then openly pick the fruits of victory easily.
In addition, the risk of raising a tiger is uncontrollable. The greater the strength of Anzhou, the stronger the wings of the King of Qi will be, and the stronger the confrontation between the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. As the war between the North and the South approaches, the situation between the North and the South is becoming increasingly tense. Who can guarantee that the King of Qi will not take the opportunity to attack and blackmail the Holy Lord, or even do it all the time, and use the war between the North and the South to raise troops to rebel, give the Holy Lord a front and back attack, and put the central government in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and the back? Since the future risks can be foreseeable, of course, we must prepare for the future and prevent problems before they happen, and we must also act as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. In this way, it is reasonable to use the third eastern expedition to Goguryeo to destroy Anzhou, the emerging force and eliminate the "hawks" of the King of Qi.
Of course, it would be better if Anzhou could be destroyed by the Civil War and the value of Anzhou could be squeezed to a greater extent. However, because the situation in Western Xinjiang this year was overturned, large tracts of territory were lost, and the variables of the Western Turks increased infinitely, resulting in the inability of Middle-earth to effectively control the course of this war.
The Western Turks are cunning, and their promises are not trustworthy at all. This year, the Western Turks were caused by the Western Turks. They took the lead behind the Central Turks, joined forces with the Tuguhun tiger's mouth to seize food, and took away five counties in the Western Regions from the mouth of Central Turks, swept across the Western Regions countries. New and old hatreds broke out. In this case, Central Turks did not launch a fierce counterattack, but swallowed their anger. It shows that Central Turks were determined to "a gentleman takes revenge, it will not be too late for ten years" to defeat them, first solve the most threat to them, and then concentrate their efforts to attack the Western Turks.
Since the future risks are completely foreseeable, how can the Turks in the East and West fall over the mistakes of their decline? Middle-earth is their common enemy, and Middle-earth poses a serious threat to both sides. If they can severely damage Middle-earth, it will inevitably bring them huge benefits. Therefore, interests are paramount at critical moments. As long as the two sides can reach an agreement on interests, they will join forces to attack Middle-earth at any time. Therefore, although the two sides of the Civil War are Middle-earth and the desert, the strength of Middle-earth China has declined rapidly with the foreign conquests over the years. The Western Turks are already the Western Turks. Whoever the Western Turks falls to will be the final winner.
The Holy Lord and the Central Government have absolute confidence in winning the Civil War and are well aware of the complexity of the war process. However, even though they knew that the Western Turks were no longer controlled, they allowed the existence of the variable King Qi and Anzhou, which is to "play with fire". If it is not done well, they would play with fire***. Therefore, Yuwen Shu's plan is completely correct, to prevent problems before they happen, and to eliminate dangers in the bud, which is in line with the interests of the country and more in line with the interests of the Holy Lord and the Central Government.
After discussing for a long time, the monarch and ministers repeatedly analyzed and deduced, they finally accepted Yuwen Shu's strategy.
From the perspective of the Holy Lord and the Central Government, there is no more choice. It is less than a month since the end of the year. Local dynasties and tribute envoys from various counties have arrived in Dongdu or are on their way to Dongdu. Time is not tight, but has reached the limit and cannot be wasted at the slightest. The Holy Lord and the Central Government must show satisfactory results before the end of the year to reverse the series of political, military and economic downturns this year. Otherwise, even if the Holy Lord and the Central Government hide in Gaoyang Palace in Hebei, they will not be able to escape the decline of central authority and the outbreak of the trust crisis in China-Turkey.
, and the negative impacts caused by this will have a serious impact on local and vassals. Local counties and counties will ignore the central government's orders and become more lawless, and vassals will also be disinterested or even betrayal. It can be imagined that the domestic and international situation will deteriorate rapidly, collapse thousands of miles away, and be out of control. At that time, not to mention that the third Eastern Expedition is difficult to be carried out, the Civil War is powerless, and even the political crisis between the two capitals will not be eased. Once civil strife intensifies and the two capitals will be divided, the country's destiny will be shaky, and the great cause of unification will be even more in danger of falling apart.
From the perspective of the northern desert, this is also a danger and an opportunity. If you seize the opportunity and avoid the danger, the chances of victory in the Civil War will increase greatly. It has been more than two months since the white-haired thieves attacked Anzhou, and more than a month after the white-haired thieves defeated the Chijishi Ashinaduna, the southeastern thieves. I believe that by the end of this month, the white-haired thieves will fight against Ruoluo River in the north, and the news that the white-haired thieves will raise their troops to rebel and change their ownership in the northeast will reach the Yaguan. It is not difficult to foresee that by the beginning of the first month of next year, Yaguan will come up with the latest countermeasures, and the desert will attack or recruit Anzhou and Northeast. However, no matter which countermeasures are implemented, it will be a pressure and a threat to Zhongtu. There will be less and less room for maneuver, and eventually even defeated and wasted a great situation in vain.
The two evils are the least. Instead of taking advantage of the desert for nothing and falling into a passive dilemma, it is better to take a step back now, incorporate Anzhou and Northeast into the Central Earth territory, first let the Holy Lord and the Central Committee obtain the martial arts of expanding territory, and first alleviate the deteriorating domestic and foreign situation in order to maximize profits.
The preliminary decision was planned to be made to recruit Anzhou and Northeast for the greatest sincerity to meet the requirements of Anzhou and Northeast to the greatest extent, but the premise is that Anzhou and Northeast must participate in the third Eastern Expedition and must charge for Middle-earth.
Can this decision be passed smoothly in the center?
The answer is no.
What is the limit of the so-called greatest sincerity and the greatest extent? If the conditions raised by the other party harm the interests of China-Turkey, will it also be considered as appropriate? This must be debated.
The third Eastern Expedition has not yet been made, which means that in fact, there is no third Eastern Expedition at all. So if you take Anzhou and Northeastern must participate in the third Eastern Expedition as a condition for recruitment, isn’t it a fiction? This is arguing again.
Disputes take time, and what the Holy Lord and his supporters lack is time, but many people in the center, especially ministers who hold conservative positions, do not lack time. What they lack is the opportunity to constrain and attack the Holy Lord and the reformists. Once they encounter opportunities, they will reject them regardless of whether the decision is correct or not, and reject them in order to reject them.
The Holy Lord pondered for a long time and made a resolute decision, "First negotiate, first the fait accompli, and then force the center to accept the facts with its easy-to-get martial arts."
This is the overlord who is forced to make a whim. You have to eat raw rice until you cook it. You have to eat it even if you don’t eat it, and you have to recognize it even if you don’t recognize it. For the Holy Lord and Yuwen Shu and other monarchs and ministers, Anzhou and Northeast have fallen into the hands of Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong, and the martial arts of expanding territory are for sure. It is reasonable for the political enemies to desperately obstruct the requisition and requisition. For this reason, they had to bypass the center and implement the requisition and requisition decision without authorization. However, this move seriously violated the law and destroyed the high-level decision-making mechanism and had a very bad impact. However, considering that there is no risk of requisition and will take into account the interests of most people, the result is still very optimistic. The requisition and the rulers and ministers such as the Holy Lord and Yuwen Shu made an exception for the first time.
Since the Holy Lord has spared no expense, Yuwen Shu and others have certainly supported it. However, negotiation is easy, and it is difficult to reach the required negotiation results in the shortest time.
"Master, time is too tight. If we want to spread the news of the opening of Anzhou and Northeast Xinjiang to Dongdu by the end of the year, we must complete the negotiations before the 20th of this month." Yu Shiji looked solemn and looked puzzled. "From Gubeikou to Gaoyang Palace and then to Dongdu, it is a 30-mile post station. The transmission speed has reached its limit and it cannot be faster. In this way, even if we immediately send people to Gubeikou to negotiate day and night, Anzhou will also cooperate closely. With all the plans, we will only have four days of negotiation time at most."
Four days of negotiation time? The six kings and ministers looked at each other in a speechless manner.
Can the four-day negotiation time achieve the expected goal? In theory, you can agree to all the conditions of the other party as much as possible, and even if it cannot be met, you can accept it. As long as the current goal is achieved, you can get the martial arts of expanding territory. Let’s talk about the future.
However, the opponent is not a fool. He believes whatever you say. In the future, you can't fulfill your promises and act like a hooligan. Wouldn't he be useless? So you have to take out "real money" so that he can not only see real interests, but also future interests. Only in this way can both parties reach an agreement and each take the needs.
"Master, since you have decided to use the third Eastern Expedition as a trap to kill the rebellion, you must now take out a generous bait." Lai Hu'er thought about it and said carefully, "I can't bear to let my children go to trap the wolf. If there is no bait that can impress the rebellion, I will not want to lure the rebellion to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition and eradicate the hidden dangers once and for all."
The Holy Lord nodded slightly, "Who goes to Gubeikou?"
Li Hun certainly could not expect that he had the same front with the King of Qi, and the conflicts with the Holy Lord and the Reformers have also been made public. Although he had undertaken the mission of advocating Anzhou, he did not seek benefits for the Holy Lord and the Reformers, so he would inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to advocate Anzhou to fight for the best interests of himself. If he had no choice, he would even scammers and join forces with Anzhou to blackmail the Holy Lord and the Central Committee.
At the critical moment, the Holy Lord certainly believed in his close ministers, but it was of great importance. During the negotiation process, he must firmly grasp the bottom line, make quick decisions and make decisions on the spot. Ordinary ministers do not have this authority, nor do they have the courage, and they dare not take responsibility. They must send a central important minister to Gubeikou for negotiations. Raising the negotiation level to such a high level also fully expresses the sincerity of Zhongtu’s responsiveness, and may be twice the result with half the effort.
Yu Shiji and Lai Hu'er looked at each other. Yu Shiji was hesitant, but Lai Hu'er was eager to try. Both of them were both "in trouble" and were trapped in the rebels. This time, the pacification was the only opportunity for their son to "see the light of day again", so both of them were willing to volunteer, but in this way, it was inevitable that the people would be demoted and give them a handle. Once the negotiations were not successful and the Holy Lord would be annoyed, it would be a loss.
The Holy Lord's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone. When his eyes passed by Yu Shiji, he did not stop at all, which immediately made Yu Shiji, who was still hesitating, immediately lost his mind. When his eyes passed by Lai Hu'er, he paused for a moment, and Lai Hu'er's heart beat violently. He was about to open his mouth to volunteer, but he saw that the Holy Lord's gaze had moved away. Lai Hu'er sighed secretly and immediately "stopped the flag"; his eyes finally stopped on Yu Wen Shu's old and haggard face and stopped moving.
Yu Shiji, Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai, and came to Hu'er to sigh sadly when they saw this scene.
After all, the person the Saint Lord trusts the most is Yuwen Shu. Every time he is in danger, he is the one who is ordered in danger. This is the case for the imperial rule, the same is true for the Western Expedition, and the Eastern Expedition. Yang Xuangan's mutiny, the first thing the Saint Lord thought of was Yuwen Shu. When this matter was of great importance, it was far from the past. There is no need to use Yuwen Shu, an important minister of the Celestial Dynasty, but the Saint Lord still used it. What does this mean?
This shows that the Holy Lord is afraid and afraid. The Guanzhong rebellion is enough to prove that the political crisis between the two capitals is accelerating and the struggle between the two capitals is becoming increasingly fierce. The Holy Lord saw the "black shadow" of division and chaos. The negative effect of using political liquidation to attack opponents was rapidly highlighted. Political means are no longer enough to deter conservative forces. As for the suppression of rebellion by force, it is just a replay of the front scene. After the rebellion suppression, it is still a political liquidation. The result is a vicious cycle, and the crisis will deteriorate faster and faster, so we must find another way and find another breakthrough.
Where is the breakthrough? It is in Anzhou, so Yuwen Shu was ordered again in danger.
Yuwen Shu barely squeezed out a smile, his eyes full of fatigue, "Master, I am ready to go to Xijing to quell the rebellion."
"Xijing quelled the rebellion?" The Holy Lord smiled faintly, "Is it important? Is it useful? Can it solve the problem?"
Yu Wen Shu pondered for a little, shook his head slightly, agreeing with what the Holy Lord said. Guanzhong is not only a major capital, but also the foundation of the country's destiny. The rebellion broke out in the base area, or a large-scale rebellion. The complexity of the inside story behind it and the widespread involvement can be imagined. Killing will definitely not solve the problem. The killing caused by the Yang Xuangan mutiny has become a river of blood. The Holy Lord and the reformists have made up their minds to never tolerate the traitors. What is the result? The fire in the east capital has not been extinguished, and a big fire has been ignited in Xijing. If you put out the fire back and forth, you are exhausted and exhausted, you will eventually get a ruin, meaningless.
"However, if you tolerate it, it will be a prairie fire." Yuwen Shu thought about it again and again, and persuaded him, "Sage, if the chaos in Guanzhong is in chaos, Western Xinjiang will be difficult to stabilize, and once the crisis in Western Xinjiang worsens and worsens, the consequences will be worrying."
The Holy Lord frowned slightly and said slowly, "Even if Guanzhong is stable, the Western Xinjiang has lost five counties."
As soon as this statement was made, Yu Wen Shu was speechless, and Yu Shiji, Xiao Yu, Zhao Cai and Lai Huer were also in a cold heart. Think about it carefully, the words of the Holy Lord made a lot of sense. When the Holy Lord led his army to expedition to Goguryeo, the Western Xinjiang was lost as the rear but lost its city and land. Should this responsibility be borne by the Holy Lord, the Central and the Northwest Army? Could it be that the Xijing and Guanlong noble groups had no responsibility at all?
Yuwen Shu bowed to accept the order, "I rushed to Gubeikou immediately."
