Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue exchanged glances with each other and muttered to themselves in their hearts. It looks like this Ninth Prince teacher is indeed extraordinary.
Ninth Prince sat there quietly, his two eyes staring at the wine cup in Fu Ta's hands. As someone who was familiar with the battles of the palace, he knew very well that this was the moment of his life and death. If the glass falls, blood is inevitable. He even thought that if there was any movement, he would run to the side of the Chinese generals s. He knew very well that his guards couldn't even withstand a single blow.
"Big Brother, let's fight!" It had been a long time since Ge Li heard a sound coming from the hall outside, and he could feel the abnormality within the hall. Both of his hands had already reached into his scabbard, but he did not hear Fanta making a move for a long time, hence he could not help but become anxious.
"Wait a little longer!" "At father's command." Gu Lu waved his hands and stopped Ge Li. Although he did not know what was going on in the hall, he knew that it would be hard for his father to make a decision, and there were thousands of Chinese cavalry outside.
Fanta slowly swirled the glass in her hand, staring straight ahead, her face unnaturally grave. The atmosphere in the hall was tense to the extreme. At this moment, even the slightest sound would probably incite a bloody massacre.
After a long moment, when reason finally overcame his ambition, he slowly placed his glass on the table. He stood up, walked to the front of Ninth Prince respectfully and knelt down. Following the etiquette of bowing to the king, he kowtowed three times to the Ninth Prince, and loudly shouted:
"Fu Ta pays his respects to His Majesty the King." This morning, Yang Lin was in the great hall of Schmidt's house, discussing with the few strategists and the main generals about the next step of his strategic plan. Ever since Yang Lin and Yu She had sent off the expedition army, Yang Lin had been considering his future strategic direction. Today, he had gathered a few strategists and generals just for the sake of unifying his mind and preparing for a new journey.
"My generals, my Military Advisors, last year, after our harvest, the situation in the Youzhou was much better. In addition to the good sales of glass, matches, and books, we brought back quite a bit of food to the Youzhou. There shouldn't be any worries in the next two years. However, with the addition of our troops, the problem of food and fodder can definitely be resolved through war. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to enter the Leroy County and completely settle the Pitiful Moslems's rebellion. "
Leroy County's Zhang Wen had already reported to the imperial government multiple times, requesting Hanling Emperor to dispatch troops to eliminate the Pitiful Moslems's rebellion. Hanling Emperor discussed with the Minister of the Court and gave the order for Yang Lin to dispatch troops to put out the rebellion. However, the various counties of Youzhou were being harassed by the Hu and the Barbarian, Yang Lin had not been able to settle the problem with the Leroy County at all.
"Lord General, I know that you want to be the first one to calm the waves, then conquer the Gaoguanli and the Triple Korea, and join forces with the army on the expedition. However, I think that Barbarian, Triple Korea and other Barbarian s are nothing to worry about. Therefore, our first priority should be to eliminate Urushion. "
Zhang Banxian was the first to stand up, her face was excited, she cupped her hands towards Yang Lingong, and proposed her strategic goal to everyone. Then he walked over to the map hanging in the hall, picked up a stick, and pointed to the map.
"Now, Pan Feng, Yu She are on the expedition. Once they are established, we will be in a pincer position. We don't even need to take any risks, as long as we are stable and sound, we can drive the Urushion s and fresh inferior s all the way to the west. At the very least, we have to drive them far out of the Caspian Sea, and if possible, all the way to the Black Sea so that they have nowhere to run. In the end, they would either be destroyed or conquered, and the worries and worries of our Han nationality would be completely resolved. "
As for the Zhang Banxian's strategic plan, it was not that Yang Lin had never thought of it before, but that was just a plan for the future, and was not something that could be realized now. With the power of the Youzhou, it was almost impossible to destroy Wu Huan. Furthermore, Yang Lin wouldn't be able to wait more than ten or twenty years. As long as Urushion and fresh inferior didn't offend him, it would be better to not touch them for the time being.
"Lord General, as the saying goes, no one can overthink things, no matter how far away they are, they will always be worried about their future. Our army has already taken a large amount of grain and fodder. It is unknown whether we will be able to sustain the war in the foothold. Although there was plenty of food left over, they were being attacked from both sides by the Gaoguanli and the fresh inferior. No one knew how much food they had left. "Once the army is in a hurry, we will mobilize all our resources."
Seeing that Yang Lin was about to send out his troops, Xin Ping immediately stepped forward. As he was in charge of the affairs of the Youzhou, he was very clear about the current situation of the Youzhou. Although supporting two battles was not a problem, but as a cautious man, he still could not agree with Yang Lin's thoughts. He looked at Yang Lin and continued.
"Lord General, the rebellion of Leroy County has already been going on for many years. Furthermore, we already have over one hundred and fifty thousand Wasteland soldier s. Once we have conquered the Duyu Country, it would not be too late to come here to pacify the Leroy County. "
Yang Lin laughed, and did not know what to say. If he couldn't fight two wars at the same time, how would he not know this? Just like what the Zhang Banxian had expected, Yang Lin's goal was not only to get the Leroy County. His strategic plan was to first stabilize the Leroy County and then use it as a base to head south to conquer the Triple Korea and north to conquer the Gaoguanli.
He had to get ahead of the chaos in the Central Plains and thoroughly conquer the three major farming and animal husbandry clans of the Soaring Dragon Continent. He had to prepare the three great grain depots of the Central Plains for himself. He knew better than anyone that the battles for hegemony in the future would be war over food. If he did not have enough food, he would most likely follow in Gongsun Zan's footsteps and die trapped in Youzhou.
But could he tell others all of this?
"Lord General, ever since you started fighting in the Liaodong, you have calmed down all kinds of people. You have annihilated Shang Gu, Dai County Wu Huan and the others. Just then, Xin Pi stood out, with a serious expression, he cupped her fists towards Yang Lingong and continued: "But Lord General has never thought, you are now a rider general, a Youzhou assassin, you are already famous, if you do something big again, how will the Emperor reward you? At that time, even if no one attacked the Emperor, he would still be wary of the Lord General. I feel that it would be better to slowly eliminate Wu Huan, Wu Yu and the others, or to pacify the Leroy County's rebellion. "
"I fully agree with Mr. Xin Pi's words, and there is a sentence that I have kept in my heart for a long time. Xin Ping stood together with Xin Pi. He bowed towards Yang Lin and said loudly: "Lord General possesses an important force, an outstanding achievement, and an outstanding talent. Therefore, I believe that calming the waves is a small matter, the preservation of the military will be big. Right now, thieves were everywhere, and the world was not at peace, but no matter what happened in the future, as long as the Lord General s remained, the world would be blessed, and the people would be fortunate! Otherwise, I truly dare not imagine just how great of a calamity the world will suffer! "
Obviously, Xin Ping's and Xin Pi's words had moved all the strategists and generals. Although they did not say anything, but from their expressions, Yang Lin could tell that they were supporting Xin Ping and Xin Pi. Even the Zhang Banxian closed her eyes and rested without saying a word. She seemed to have forgotten the strategy he had proposed just now to attack Wu Huan from the west.
Yang Lin understood that Xin Ping and Xin Pi were doing this for him. Since ancient times, many of the high-ranking officers on the border had tried to avoid fighting as much as possible. This was because winning didn't necessarily mean there would be a reward, and losing meant they would be punished. Especially for the generals who wielded heavy weapons, they would easily meet the Emperor's suspicion. When their merits reached a point where there was no reward, it would be the time when they would be forced to their deaths.
Faced with the objections of the strategists, Yang Lin could do nothing about it. He was looking for a reason for his strategy when suddenly, one of his guards reported that Liang Tian and Dong Jian had something to report. The two of them were in charge of intelligence, so Yang Lin immediately invited them in.
Liang Tian and Dong Jian anxiously walked forward and cupped their fists as they bowed to Yang Lin, the Military Advisors and the generals. Liang Tian took out a few spongy silk s from his pocket and said anxiously: "Lord General, I have bad news."
"Mm …" "What's going on?" Seeing Liang Tian and Dong Jian's serious faces, Yang Lin asked curiously.
"A few days ago, Yang Le County sent Liu Bei to the Emperor, who praised the Lord General greatly as she worked hard in the new government, as she loved her people, as she shook the Barbarian, and as she recommended the Lord General to the Emperor to serve as one of the three officials of the imperial court. In the end, during the assembly, the ministers began to attack the Lord General one after another. They were proud of their achievements and looked down upon the court. Liang Tian immediately said.
Yang Lin's heart thumped, as he immediately understood. This damned Liu Bei, he was trying to support him to kill him. With such a young man in position, what should he do in the future? Didn't he clearly inform the emperor that Yang Lin had already reached the peak of his abilities?
Regarding Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, Yang Lin had already forgotten about them. Although they lost alongside Huangfu Song, they had done meritorious deeds for the imperial government, and were appointed as the Earth County Order and the Yang Le County Order respectively. Because they did not have any military power, Yang Lin did not pay attention to them anymore.
"This Liu Bei is sinister, he wants me to die here."
"That may not be so." Xin Ping shook her head, and said thoughtfully: "Last year, in Liaoxi County, when they voted in confidence, Liu Bei won the first place in the vote of confidence, and even surpassed taiwai. Probably because he was grateful to the Lord General, that was why he was able to report this to the imperial government. "
"Humph!" Xin Ping did not understand Liu Bei, but Yang Lin was very clear that he did not have any good intentions, and said angrily: "He is just a small county magistrate, what qualifications does he have to recommend the three officials to the imperial government? He is reminding the emperor and the court's ministers to be on their guard against me! "
"Lord General's words are reasonable." Xin Pi cupped her fists, and said seriously: "Regardless of whether Liu Bei has any malicious intentions, the consequences of his sealing will be very serious. The lesser ones will be reprimanded by the Emperor, and the more important ones will allow the Emperor to take this opportunity to transfer the Lord General to the imperial government and take away his military power.
The air in the hall suddenly froze. This result was something that everyone wanted to see, and it was also the one that they didn't want to see the most. After a long while, Zhang Banxian stood up angrily and scolded: "This damned Liu Bei, he's not good at doing things."
