Chapter 67 The Opportunity to Open Your Eyes to See the World

After the emperor finished speaking, no one supported or opposed, and they all fell silent.

This is indeed an opportunity to show your face, but it is also risky.

The veterans thought to themselves that old Yuan had just lost his grandson, and although Lao Liu's son was not the eldest son, it was easy for him to have someone other than the eldest son who could make things happen.

If something happens, it won't look good when we meet in the future.

Furthermore, it is too much trouble to do things under the eyes of the emperor.

Li Jiu, the Duke of E, understood that his family had a good relationship with Duke Yi, and the incident of encroaching on other people's property a few days ago was also thanks to his family's help.

It's okay to help with a few words of praise just now.

But it's better not to say too much about what the emperor is talking about now.

Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, and this is true.But under the eyes of the emperor, winning or losing is not a common matter for military strategists.

This time the emperor's personal conquest, the veterans knew in their hearts that this was to establish their prestige in the army.

If you want to stand up in the army, you have to win battles.Then Liu Yu did a good job there, but who can guarantee that he will do well here?

What if it doesn't work?
Now that he has made meritorious deeds over there, his role has been removed, and his reputation has become prominent... It is said that it would be good to take this opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor again, but just in case...

For this matter, the emperor himself should decide.

Seeing the silence on the scene, Li Gan probably guessed what everyone was thinking, so he could only look at Duke Yasukuni Yuan Lan.

Yuan Lan remained silent, but she really had a thousand words in her heart.

He is a veteran, and his family's position is considered stable. The hereditary duke has come to an end.He could see some things clearly, but he didn't know how to say them.

This time the emperor personally conquered, he could understand the emperor's intentions.

Just like what Liu Yu said, the battle between Dashun and Luocha was obviously two strong men holding goose feathers to tickle each other, and the Luocha Kingdom could not send many soldiers.

The emperor used this to brush up his prestige in the army, and at the same time solved the Khalkha Mongolian matter, which is indeed very good.

However, the attack on Muliji Acropolis was not going well these days. The emperor was like a cat whose tail had been bitten off, pacing back and forth in the big tent in complete disregard of the emperor's style. This is not a good phenomenon.

Yuan Lan felt that although the emperor had experienced things, he was still too impatient after all.

Too impatient, and now that the recuperation has passed, the national strength has been restored, and the emergence of gunpowder weapons has made Mongolia weak, and the emperor is full of ambitions.

While gratifying and congratulating, it is inevitable to think of another possibility.

Ambitious and ambitious, well done, that is Han Wu Tang Zong.

If you can't do it well, it's Sui Yangminghuai.

Nothing could be seen in the court, but when it came to the battlefield, the emperor's impatience was revealed.

The impetuous emperor, most of the time, wanted to complete his meritorious service in one battle, to make a name in history, and to be on par with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But even if Li Er was ambitious, he didn't die when he couldn't beat Goguryeo, but left it to his son to solve it.

Now that he had just encountered a little setback, the emperor thought of replacing the siege vanguard with a guard. This really shouldn't be the calmness that the emperor should have.

Now it's just a small battle against Rakshasa. In the future, the emperor will conscript Junggar, reform the land and return it to the exiles, exempt the gentry from preferential treatment, and a series of things.

If things go a little bit wrong, they will be replaced. His temper is so impatient, not to mention Sui Yang, there was one person in the previous dynasty who was so irritable.

The crooked neck tree is still growing in Meishan.

Seeing the emperor staring at her, Yuan Lan had no choice but to come forward and said: "Your Majesty, although Liu Shouchang has some skills, but this matter should not be so hasty."

"He led the troops to Yongning Temple first, and along the way for nearly a year, the soldiers were familiar with each other, and the soldiers worked hard. That's why he was able to attack cities and plunder land, and he became a young man."

"If you come here, firstly, the general will not be familiar with the soldiers, and secondly, he is just a guard. The soldiers dispatched this time are all arrogant soldiers. Even if they are only siege vanguards, they may not be able to control them."

"Thirdly, he is over there, with no more than three to five hundred soldiers, and no more than cavalry captains. Ask him to be the siege vanguard, and thousands of people will be mobilized, which is beyond his ability."

"That's why, I think it's better to send him here to join the army as a staff officer. Ma You often serves as a staff officer in the army, and he has made a lot of contributions; but when he made it to the street pavilion, Marquis Wu shed tears."

The veteran advised me that Li Gan, who had been a little impatient these days, finally calmed down.

After pondering for a moment, I also felt that I was indeed a little impatient.I didn't think too much about it before, but now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be.

It is said that it is decided after planning, but what was expected before is really simple.

I thought that the Raksha people here are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and they are separated by thousands of miles. If you are guarding, the country will mobilize elite troops, and it will definitely be destroyed.

However, when he came to the front line in person, he knew that things did not always develop as he imagined.Thinking about Liu Yu's remonstrance in the memorial before, although he couldn't listen to it all because of strategy, but the facts were in front of him, after all, he still thought of his opponent simply.

Eager to seek success, and eager to resolve the matter of northern Xinjiang, coupled with the contrast between the dark side of the west and the bright side of the east, made him make a too hasty decision.

Duke E saw that Old Yuan had said what he needed to say, and it was time for him to come forward, so he said, "Your Majesty, what Duke Jing said is very true. Besides, Liu Shouchang has already gone to attack Kuliping Village. How is the front line? Thousands of miles, we really don’t know about it. Why don’t you send someone to ask about it.”

"If you can go down with a drum, why is there a rush to call him back at this moment? If you can't go down with a drum, it will take time for the Songhua River Navy to go upstream, so you can call him over and ask about the siege. .”

"Furthermore, Mulijiwei will fall soon. From Mulijiwei to Hulipingzhai, you can only travel more than a hundred miles through the mountains. Why not wait for Mulijiwei to break down?"

Li Gan didn't say any more, knowing that these veterans had already given him a step up, he should follow the advice and calm down for a while.

"That's the case, that's fine. Come, Du Feng who announced the victory, I want to ask some details."

It's useless to worry about it, why don't you listen to the war in the east, calm down, and just ask about the Raksha King's adopted son, whether it can be used as a basis for negotiation.

…………

Du Feng got the reward, so he couldn't keep any dry food left in the kennel, so he hurriedly changed into the rewarded Wubian military uniform.

I ran to the water's edge and wished I could wash off the skin. Looking at the water surface like a mirror, Wu Bian was worn crookedly and crookedly.

Hearing the emperor's announcement, he finally washed his face, thinking that if Lord Liu expected it, this kindness should not be forgotten.

When Liu Yu wrote the memorial, some things were written briefly.Call Du Feng over in private, just write briefly, maybe His Majesty can let you question him in front of the emperor.

This is an opportunity, as long as the answers are fluent and articulate, you can also leave a good impression on His Majesty.It may not be useful in the future.

This kind of thing is naturally hidden in the bottom of my heart. Now that the emperor is really going to summon him, Du Feng only feels his heart jumping in his throat.

Although I have rehearsed many times before coming here, and I have half-remembered how to answer, I am still a little worried.

One is that he is worried that his accent is a fusion of Luxi dialect. The emperor is considered to be half of the old Shan'er, and I am afraid that he is not used to it; the other is that he is used to it. Mom and Dad's words are the same, if this is spoken in front of the emperor...

He followed the servants to the big tent of the camp, and after kowtowing after listening to the order of the ceremony officer, Du Feng's hands stopped shaking.I thought to myself Du Feng, Du Feng, Lord Liu has prepared an opportunity for you, if you don't grasp this opportunity well, you may not be able to have it in the future.

After the emperor finished asking the first sentence and answered it smoothly, Du Feng's mouth gradually became smoother.

Different from those Beijing officials, the emperor was just an invisible puppet in the hearts of frontier soldiers like Du Feng.Although I grew up and met many Beijing officials who were demoted to the border, but after all, it was someone else's story, just watch the excitement.

Speaking of the emperor, awe is awe, but it may not be comparable to the Jilin defense envoy.

He asked several questions that had already been rehearsed in a row, and the answers were fluent, and the emperor hummed a few times in approval.Even if he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's face, hearing these two soft "hmm", it was like drinking snow water in June, and the feeling of happiness pierced his forehead.

"This adopted son of King Rakshasa... I have also read Liu Yu's brief study of Western countries. According to him, this Rakshasa country is called the third Rome? Liu Yu also mentioned the name of Hannibal However, even though he is a figure in the Western Martial Arts Temple, he is also a person who almost died in Rome."

"He called himself the third Rome, but named his adopted son Hannibal. What's the meaning of this? According to this Western theory, Emperor Zhaolie was also considered the third great Han. He also had an adopted son, but he also named him Zen. Details Thinking about it carefully, it looks like Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty named his adopted son Wang Mang, Green Forest, Red Eyebrow, and Yellow Turban Jiaobao?"

This is really beyond the understanding of the emperor.

"Report to Your Majesty. If it was Yongle in the previous dynasty, Fangla of the Song Dynasty had already used this year name; Goguryeo also used the Yongle year name. Fang La was a thief, and Goguryeo once occupied Liaodong. Both use the Yongle year name, but the indignant words of the Chu people claiming to be barbarians : Saying that someone is a traitor who raised troops in Yandi and Liaodi, what can you do to me?"

"The old Rakshasa meant the same thing if you think about it? Westerners think that Rakshasa is a barbarian, and his adopted son is named Hannibal. In fact, it shows that Rakshasa has the heart to conquer the West. As Chu himself said, the barbarians with hundreds of thousands of armors want to observe politics. .”

"This is also the blessing of our heavenly dynasty. Rakshasa is determined to go south and west, and he will never fight in the east for a long time. Mr. Liu said, discuss with Rakshasa, or use the power of Western countries to intimidate and deceive Rakshasa, making them I thought that my celestial dynasty had the tendency to make long-distance and short-term attacks, and attack from east to west."

"There was Zhang Bo in the Han Dynasty who was able to communicate with the Western Regions and the Yuezhi of the United University. Nowadays, Westerners travel thousands of miles by boat, although they are still separated by thousands of miles, they can still be used for help."

The tribute system of the Celestial Dynasty has been around for a long time, and there is no longer the way of thinking of combining vertical and horizontal before the Han Dynasty, and there are not enough opportunities to use this method of combining vertical and horizontal.

Now mentioning this method that has been forgotten for nearly 2000 years, everyone present is a little at a loss.

At that time, Li Gan had probably seen the brief examinations of Western countries, and asked suspiciously: "Who can be cited as a aid? The Roman Sultan?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after Mr. Liu captured Raksha's adopted son, he asked about some Western affairs. Those who thought he could help him must be France. Na Raksha went to war with Sweden, Sweden was defeated, and the old Polish king abdicated. His daughter is The queen of France. The Raksha people support the Polish king, and when he dies, France will fight for the Polish throne with the Raksha, follow the story of Qin and Jin, and return to the country.”

"Furthermore, there are many missionaries in France, and there are many French people in the court. I don't know how many there are. Your Majesty will ask you personally."

Li Gan's heart moved, and he thought to himself that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run.Admitting that Rakshasa is not within the scope of tribute and that the two countries are equal is something that has never happened in a thousand years.

Is it possible that the Celestial Dynasty will really interact with Western countries in the future?And even the story of the Da Yuezhi who was sent by Han Wu to send envoys?
Then he thought again, this Liu Yu has made another contribution.I thought it was just catching a adopted son who was exiled and exiled.

Unexpectedly, he was careful, and actually asked about the chaos in the west of the Raksha Kingdom.Perhaps, during the negotiations, it is really possible to deceive the Rakshasa, so that the Rakshasa people will mistakenly think that our Celestial Dynasty has an alliance with France, so that they can make more concessions?The adoptive son of King Rakshasa must know a lot, this must be credible.

"Hmm... No matter what, let Liu Yu come over and stop messing around there." Li Gan thought to himself.
