Chapter 403

"Bang - Cha!"

The ancient capital of Chang'an is also trembling under the awe of the sky.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people. Changsun Wuji is one of them.

There was no light in the study, and the occasional lightning that tore through the night made their faces look very ugly.

Old friend in the youth, changsun Wuji has been following the emperor for nearly 30 years. Today, only today, Li Shimin almost hit him in the face in public.

In Chang sun Wuji's mind, the scenes that happened in the evening when the court was discussing The king of Jin came in a hurry and was kicked back by Li Shimin. At that time, he said, "it's none of your business here.".

This short and ordinary sentence, like a dagger, straight into the heart of changsun Wuji.

As we all know, it was because the eldest sun Wuji hated the former Crown Prince Li Chengqian, disagreed with the king of Wei, whom Li Shimin had always loved, and strongly supported the king of Jin, Li Zhi, that he sat on the Dragon chair that didn't fit him at all.

At that time, the struggle for the crown prince was in dire straits, and the emperor even asked Chang sun Wuji to announce the decision in public - what a great honor!

Since then, Li Shimin has closed the door to recuperate from illness and handed over all state affairs to Li Zhi. In fact, he handed over all state affairs to Chang sun Wuji Anyone can think of it. What does that mean. Obviously, Li Shimin just wanted to see what would happen if he really gave the country to Li Zhi, a mediocre and blunt son?

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin is making a bold attempt, or experiment, while he has time.

The results of the experiment. It is obvious to all today.

Li Shimin is not a general disappointment. First of all, the blueprint of the western regions that he set several years ago was strongly opposed by a group of civil servants headed by Chang sun Wuji. Thus led to today's situation - Gaochang fell, qinqiong died, Tubo rampant, national prestige lost!

Someone hit Li Shimin in the face first!

As a matter of fact, Li Shimin knows what Chang sun Wuji thinks. In Chang sun Wuji's thought, everything is based on Li Shimin. In his opinion, he abides by Li Shimin's rule of law, goes down his road, and continues the prosperity and stability of Zhenguan. Let Li Zhi be the king of keeping success who does not ask for reactive power but asks for no fault, and his task of changsun Wuji will be completed.

A hundred years later, when you go underground, you can tell Li Shimin!

In private, Chang sun Wuji's loyalty and support to Li Shimin can not be doubted; in public, he built the rise and fall of the whole dynasty and nation on the word "account", which made Li Shimin very angry!

At the time of today's Tingyi, Li Shimin criticized mulberry and locust trees more than once, implying that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only knew how to greet his eldest grandson and forgot their own duties and abilities. This is undoubtedly a thunderbolt like alarm for his eldest son Wuji!

No monarch, especially Li Shimin, who is a master of power and ability, will easily have a powerful official in his own court!

However, the current situation is precisely that the civil service group headed by Chang sun Wuji firmly controls the discourse power of the court, and even the military generals who lead the troops outside must be restrained everywhere. Qin Qiong, who died in Gaochang, is the tragic product of the imbalance of the power contest situation!

If it was not for Chang sun Wuji and others to take charge of the imperial court, but for Li Shimin to take charge of the imperial platform, then his early plan for the western regions would be carried out step by step. In this way, Qin Shubao would not fight against the imperial edict and go deep into the imperial court alone, but a well prepared army would march forward and flatten Gaochang without any suspense Thus, there will not be such a passive situation and such a tragic and humiliating result!

It can be said that today, after paying homage to Qin Qiong, Li Shimin threw part of his anger directly on Chang sun Wuji, the indirect "murderer"!

"Bang - Cha!"

It's another thunder and lightning. Chang sun Wuji's whole body trembled with cold, as if he had goose bumps. Just about to get up and close the window, the door was knocked.

"Did father sleep?"

His second son, Chang sun Huan.

"Come in!"

Chang sun Huan came in, closed the door, knelt down respectfully opposite his father, and bowed down to salute.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji is in a low mood, upset, cold way.

"Father, I know what happened at today's court meeting." Chang sun Huan said carefully, "after thinking for half a night, I can't sleep. So Come and talk to your father

"Say what?" Chang sun Wuji's face is expressionless, and he doesn't spit out the light way of machine edge, "you are a city guard, and it's not your turn to discuss these things."

Chang sun Huan grinned awkwardly, speechless for a while. Since he was kicked out of Baiqi by Qin mubai, Chang sun Wuji has been treating him coldly. That matter is a great shame to the eldest grandson family of the glorious Tang Dynasty. The eldest grandson Wuji's son is not as good as Qin Qiong's son. They all talk about it like this?What's more, Qin mubai is now a fashionable man who takes a hundred thousand people to govern thousands of miles and is famous all over the world. He is the eldest sun Huan, but he is still a little gate man of Chang'an. It's a watchdog in the corner of the capital.

There is no difference between cloud and soil.

"Father, I don't want to talk about anything. It's just I have an idea. I want to ask my father's permission. " Chang sun Huan said carefully.

"Say it." Changsun Wuji is impatient.

"I'm thinking Since the overall situation has been so, your majesty has turned his favor to the main battle faction and Qin mubai. Why don't we accept this situation for the time being? " Chang sun Huan steals and says, "as the saying goes, if the mountains don't turn and the water doesn't turn, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. No matter what we do, we can't get over the holy meaning, can we

Chang sun Wuji twists his brow: "what do you want to say? Don't beat around the Bush, go straight in! "

Chang sun Huan took a deep breath, summoned up courage, arched his hand and said, "what a child means is Now, why don't we join hands with Qin mubai before Bingshi? "

"What did you say?" Changsun Wuji was shocked and said, "don't you always hate him to the bone?"

"Father. There are no eternal enemies or friends on the court, only eternal interests. You taught me that! " Chang sun Huan said, "in the early years, didn't you and Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, etc. assisted the king of Qin in life, death and disgrace, and finally achieved great achievements and shared honor? Later, the Tao did not conspire with each other, and the civil and military forces did not stand side by side. His father and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other people were in the same breath and took charge of the center. Later, his father and Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other people were not compatible Now, his majesty is obviously dissatisfied with his father. He wants to weaken his father's power in the imperial court, so as to cultivate the military power headed by a group of generals such as Qin mubai. All he wants is to restrain his father and achieve the goal of stable mutual restriction between civil and military forces, so as to facilitate his own and future generations to control. The child is thinking, in a few years, the military will rise above the court. Li Ji and Qin mubai are the two most likely to become military leaders. Li Ji is indifferent and has few friends. He is very resourceful and can't work with him. Only Qin mubai... "

Changsun Wuji looked at his son, his eyes were flowing, his complexion was complex, and he was stunned for a long time, speechless.

"Father What do you think? " Chang sun Huan's timid way.

Chang sun Wuji took a deep breath, swallowed heavily, held back his anger and said, "you are asking your father to accept defeat and flatter Qin mubai?"

"Father, father, not so!" Chang sun Wuji said hastily, "those who achieve great things do not stick to small details, and it's a man's job to bear humiliation! Why not focus on the overall situation? There is no more than some personal enmity between the Chang Sun family and the Qin family. If you are willing to take the initiative to repair it with the respect of your father. Does Qin mubai dare not give his father this face? What's more, Qin mubai was also a man of extreme treachery and influence. He seduced the princess, took refuge with the king of Wu, paid homage to Li Jing, and fawned with the king of Jiangxia! ——Just imagine, which of these people can match your father? If you take the initiative to invite him, does he have the reason not to wag his tail? Over time, if he really makes a good progress, my eldest grandson's family will have an effective ally. Isn't it convenient? If he fails, I won't lose half of it, father

Chang sun Wuji pondered for a long time, spitting out a long breath of turbid air.

To be fair, Chang sun Wuji knows that Chang sun Huan's words are very reasonable, but it's really difficult for Chang sun Wuji to take the initiative to make friends with Qin mubai!

Rivers and mountains are easy to change. it is hard to change one 's nature!

If Chang sun Wuji had Fang Xuanling's mind and magnanimity, and he was not so rigid, overbearing and greedy for power, how could he be today?

"Father, why don't you think about it?" Chang sun Huan took advantage of the situation to strike iron.

"It's impossible to beg for your father and Qin mubai. Don't say it's the suckling kid of the Qin family. Even when Qin Qiong was alive, he would have to retreat when he saw his father! " Chang Sun Wu Ji's brow tip is picked. Staring at Chang sun Huan, he said in a deep voice, "if you have half of his promise, why do you end up in such a mess as a father?"

Chang sun Huan was embarrassed. His father mentioned the old story again. In the final analysis, there has always been no gap between the Chang Sun family and the Qin family?

"Father, calm down. I have my own opinion... " Chang sun Huan carefully said, "this matter, does not need father to appear. Child is also a military man. Although he is not a weapon, he can ride fast and open a hard bow. Before the battle, he will let him go! Now, isn't the Tang Dynasty at war with Tubo? Father, please transfer me to Lanzhou. Let me bear the humiliation and serve my life under Qin mubai's command! "

"What did you say?" Chang sun Wuji was really angry. He raised his hand and roared, "you worthless thing!"

"Pa!"

A slap on the face of Chang sun Huan!

Chang sun Huan didn't let go of the slap. He didn't dare to touch his face. He still bowed his head and arched his hands and said, "father, calm down, but please take care of yourself! In fact, the child's idea is just for his father and the long-term future of the eldest grandson's family! It is better to lose ten friends than one enemy. If Qin mubai really prospers in the future, he will be rewarded for his success. My eldest grandson's family will suffer many disasters! Father, don't be afraid of villains, just be afraid of villains! ——Children in Chang'an, around is nothing, why not go to Lanzhou to fight? On the one hand, we can win the glory of military industry; on the other hand, we can see the opportunity to act. "Changsun Wuji's remaining anger has not disappeared. He said: "do you think Qin mubai will throw you to the front of the battle and be slaughtered by the Tubo people like a pig or a dog?"

"No, no! Certainly not Chang sun Huan said hastily, "I don't want to smile. No matter how I say it, I'm also a relative of the emperor. I'm your father's son! Moreover, his majesty is quite dissatisfied with his father's opposition to the use of troops in Lanzhou. Take this opportunity. Doesn't it just remove your Majesty's estrangement from your father? You should think twice, father

These last two words are just talking about Chang sun Wuji's heart.

Indeed, in Chang sun Wuji's mind, there is nothing like his "relationship" with Li Shimin. This relationship has been harmonious to the extreme, and even Li Shimin said that I owe a lot of credit to Chang sun Wuji. But now, there is a crack in this relationship, which makes Chang sun Wuji feel uneasy and scared.

If, as Chang sun Huan said, Chang sun Wuji sent a son to the front line to serve, it would not matter whether he could capture the military industry or not. At least, it would show that Chang sun Wuji could change his mind at any time even if he had a political opinion. He was still determined and determined to follow the steps of the emperor!

Isn't that right?

"Tomorrow, follow your father into the palace and face the Holy One!"

Rolling yellow sand. The west wind is wild.

Qin mubai's troops, wearing helmets and Baixiao, and a team of hundred cavalry guards, were walking in the huge school yard; the handsome flag with Qin characters held high by Zhang Tong with one arm was full of wind.

More than 30000 new recruits are now engaged in the first drill after being mixed up with the 40000 field army of Lanzhou zuoweiwei led by Hou Junji.

Tens of miles around the camp and the campus, thousands of horses galloping, shouting to kill the sky, morale rainbow straight to Xiaohan.

Qin Mu Bai was most satisfied with his high morale and neat morale, but he was most worried about it. At the same time, the most fatal problem is the sudden increase of more than 30000 people and tens of thousands of mouths, which makes the logistics supply very tight.

Although the people of Lanzhou are united in their hatred, most of the people who join the army voluntarily bring their own grain, rice, clothes, quilts and even horses, they can no longer let the people of Lanzhou pay all the expenses of the army and squeeze them out!

Besides, even if you want to squeeze it dry Although the economy of Lanzhou has improved greatly, it is not a prosperous and prosperous place like Chang'an and Xiangyang after all, and the people have little oil and water.

It's not just food. It's in the camp right now. More than 90% of the new recruits are still wearing variegated uniforms. In the past, they only went to the camp of 24 soldiers, but now the minimum number is 30. In addition, there are weapons, armour and horse material flags, all of which are indispensable.

Just as Fang Xuanling said, fighting is money and food. What can we achieve if we only have courage and blood?

Wu Meiniang's financial strength is extraordinary. However, she has not yet reached the level of the Zheng family's wealth. Before there was no war, no conscription and expansion, and she was the only military merchant who could barely cope with it. Now, it's impossible for her to support such a huge army, and there are no fertile seedlings in the poor soil.

Seeing that the day of the Mid Autumn Festival is coming, the army under his command is still short of logistical support. Qin mubai really has a headache. In recent days, he has called on officials at all levels under the governor's office to discuss with prefectures and county governors to solve logistics problems. Lanzhou's people and military have done their best. The people have to tighten their belts. However, there is still a huge gap in logistics.

The day is approaching day by day.

Qin mubai has a little idea of "disarmament". But he knew that it was not feasible, because as long as he started to do so, it would greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the people in Lanzhou and weaken the morale of the army. At the same time, it would also give people the idea of "confidence shaking and lack of confidence".

The general's heart is unstable, the military's heart is weak!

Qin mubai clenched his teeth - dead!

Now, the only thing we can hope for is to win a quick battle and defeat the karchin mausoleum at one stroke. Take grain from Tubo!

"Such things used to be done by Tubo people. Why can't we do them?"

"But if the army has to prepare 50% of its armour and supplies for March, it will go to war!"

"Don't let those Tubo barbarians in garqin mausoleum look down on our Lanzhou Iron Army and think that we dare not go to war!"

"If there is a lack of swords and guns, they will find others to share them and fight in turns. If someone dies in battle, they will inherit his armor. To avenge him! The Tubo cutlass is also well cast. Go and grab it for me

"Tibetan army's highland barley, milk wine and dried meat are also very good. Go grab them!"

This is what Qin mubai said with general Zuo of the third army. Finally, he said something that made Hou Junji proud and full of breath -

"Hou Junji, you have a saying that I really love to hear - a tiger is not as good as a wolf! Our Lanzhou Iron Army should not be a tiger that dominates the mountains and paints the earth as a prison, but a wolf that is fierce and fights for thousands of miles! If you want to eat meat, you will go hunting, biting and fighting for it! Otherwise, it's a dog. It's only worth eating shit! "
