back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 916

In Chang'an City, Lu Chengqi in the imperial palace was sitting on the Chuigong Hall, listening carefully to the report from the Director of the Supervision Department, Xu Jingchun.

In just one day, under the impetus of the Supervision Department and newspapers, the people in Dashun once again ignited their hatred of the Khitan people.Especially under the cries of the "border people", the people of Chang'an City knew for the first time how cruel the Khitan people's so-called "grass-grazing" is.

Not even a newborn baby is spared, it's not as good as a beast!
After all, the Han people are a benevolent nation, or most of them are kind. After all, the cultural foundation is there, and it is impossible to imagine that there are such vicious people in the world.Coupled with the court's exaggeration, saying that once the Khitan people went south to the Central Plains, the Han people would not be spared, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

The hatred of the country and the family, this time it is really the hatred of the country and the family.Although the Han people seem weak and deceitful, they can overwhelm mountains and seas when united.

Lu Chengqi knew that once the Khitan people opened the Pandora's Box of "Da Caogu", they would be completely unable to hold back.Gaining so much for the first time is enough to take the risky path.If a businessman has a [-]% profit, the capital will be ready to move;The Khitan people are even more powerful, all they do is no-cost business, and the profit is thousands of times, tens of thousands of times!
People die for money, birds die for food, Khitan people are willing to covet money, so it is not to blame Lu Chengqi for being cruel.

With a sneer, he listened to Xu Jingchun's propaganda in Jingzhao Mansion yesterday, and he said calmly: "Very well, the next time the Khitans come to attack Caogu, the frontier army will attack. Inspiring people, understand?"

Now there are still people in Dashun who are afraid of the Khitan's force and want to focus on peace.Lu Chengqi wanted them to see that the Han army would never lose to the Khitans!

Xu Jingchun smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if the Khitans hadn't coerced the people, the battle fought a few days ago would have been won."

Lu Chengqi said expressionlessly: "Didn't you still fall into an ambush? Forget it, you will learn your wisdom from a fall. Don't be so stupid in the future."

Xu Jingchun said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The Khitan people have tasted the sweetness, so it must be better for them to go south to hunt Caogu. Even if they don't want to come, I will lure them to come, Xu Qing, do you understand what I mean?" Lu Chengqi said slowly.

Xu Jingchun immediately understood: "Your Majesty is saying that the inspectors are required to pretend to be merchants?"

Lu Chengqi nodded: "That's right! This victory, I will send out troops again in the spring of next year, and point my sword at Linhuang Mansion!" Lu Chengqi is not stupid, he knows that autumn is the most prosperous period for grassland nomads. In spring and winter, they are not so proud.Now it is autumn, and the horses on the grassland are all fattened up in autumn. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and it is a hard battle to send troops.Besides, it will be winter soon, and the winter in the Little Ice Age came earlier than usual, and it is not suitable for sending troops.Only at the beginning of spring, when the heat turns cold again, the horses on the grassland are starving and skinny, a large number of cattle and sheep have died, and the Khitan people lack even food, is a good opportunity to send troops.

Xu Jingchun was shocked, he was from the frontier army, how could he not know the meaning of Lu Chengqi's move?This is a decisive battle with the Liao Kingdom! "Your Majesty, can this... be done?"

It's not that Xu Jingchun is timid, but he is afraid that the treasury will not be able to support it.Dashun is a recruiting system, without military pay, how can soldiers work hard?

"It will definitely work!" Lu Chengqi said confidently, it's a joke, if you have firearms and cannons, you can't beat the Khitan people, so Lu Chengqi really doesn't know what to say.

At this moment, there was a rumbling drum sound: "Boom boom boom!!!"

"Who beats the Dengwen drum?" Lu Chengqi was taken aback, and immediately summoned his servants to let him run out to find out.

Not long after, the servant ran back panting and said: "Your Majesty, outside... Dengwen Drum Courtyard, gathered a lot of scholars, saying that I implore Your Majesty to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "Scholar? Are you not mistaken?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the little one can't make a mistake." The servant's breath became smoother, and he said cautiously.

Lu Chengqi felt amused in his heart, the civil servants in the imperial court repeatedly prevented him from sending troops, saying that it would be a waste of money for the people and cause great harm to the country.But these scholars are lucky, and they disagree with their "predecessors", which is really unbelievable.However, Lu Chengqi also knew that these scholars were just angry youths of this era, and when they became officials, the situation would definitely be very different, and even change 180 degrees.

"Okay, it's rare for a scholar to share the country's worries. I have something important to do and I can't leave. Go down and prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write a letter of request for them, sign the calligraphy and painting, and submit it to me!" Lu Chengqi didn't want to see these things Cynical youth, lest IQ be damaged.But he had to take his reputation into account, so he had to do this trick.

These scholars are already very happy to be able to listen to Datian. Even if they have some regrets, they can't speak directly to the saint, but they can accept it.

So, one by one, they unfolded their pens, inks, papers and inkstones, searched their guts, and tried to write better, so that they could enter the eyes of the sage.The Holy Majesty personally reviewed it, which is a treatment that has never been given in the palace examination!If they didn't seize the opportunity, they would have read poetry and books for so many years in vain.

In the Chuigong Hall, Lu Chengqi still looked calm and relaxed, as if he didn't care about the Liao Kingdom at all.

In fact, Xu Jingchun knew that the more Lu Chengqi was like this, the more nervous he felt.He didn't dare to take a breath, afraid that Lu Chengqi would blame him.

"By the way, how is the Jurchen now?"

Lu Chengqi said abruptly that the only thing he was worried about was the Jurchens.

Different from the Northern Song Dynasty's "Alliance with the Jin and Destroy the Liao Dynasty", now Dashun is fighting against the Liao Kingdom alone, and may even recruit the Jurchens.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jurchens are still entrenched in the area of ​​Baishan and Heishui, and their strength has not yet recovered." Xu Jingchun replied immediately.Jurchen and Khitan have been fighting for several years, and both sides are exhausted. How can they recover their strength so quickly?

Lu Chengqi stood up, paced back and forth several times, and then asked again: "Xu Qing, do you think the Jurchens will join forces with the Liao Kingdom to fight against my Dashun in this battle?"

Xu Jingchun was taken aback for a moment, and then said with certainty: "Report to Your Majesty, I don't think so!"

"reason?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jurchen and the Khitan have become feuds. Not only the Khitan is wary of the Jurchen, but the Jurchen is also wary of the Khitan. If the two tribes send troops at the same time, they will definitely guard against each other. In this way, there will be an opportunity. The Khitan have been fighting for a long time and will not Do such a stupid thing!" Xu Jingchun talked eloquently, taking all aspects into consideration.

Lu Chengqi sneered: "What if the Liao Kingdom is almost destroyed by me?"

Xu Jingchun said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then the Jurchens will be even more happy. If they can take this opportunity to get rid of the control of the Liao Kingdom, they will definitely die!"

Lu Chengqi had to say that Xu Jingchun's analysis made sense.This is due to human nature, and most people will forget their own safety because of the immediate benefits.It's just that I don't know if Wanyan impeaches Libo with the courage.To be honest, if Khitan and Jurchen joined forces, Dashun would really be in some trouble.The Jurchens are much braver and invincible than the Khitans, and there is indeed some truth.

"I don't know how Zhe Kexing is doing now?" Lu Chengqi suddenly missed this wise and brave general in his heart.
