"However, the rebellion in the West Cold also consumed a great deal of the imperial government's manpower and material resources. Ever since the Emperor ascended the throne, the West Cold had spent over forty billion on military expenditures. The war had caused serious damage to the production of Border County, causing the society and economy to be ruined. The population had been greatly reduced, and both the Qiang people and the Chinese people had been severely destroyed. "At the same time, it has greatly damaged the power of the imperial government and caused internal strife."
The man had rebelled all over the world, and it had a lot to do with the rebellion in the West. A large amount of military expenditures of the imperial government had been passed on to the citizens of the country, causing them to be overwhelmed by the heavy tax payments. In addition, eunuchs, outsiders and officials had successively seized power to bring disaster to their country.
"Your Majesty, if we want to resolve the West Cold's rebellion fundamentally, I think that we can give it a try. Ever since Yang Lin took over the Youzhou, on one hand, he exterminated the rebellion in the Urushion and the fresh inferior with force. They were used as citizens and soldiers during wartime, effectively stopping the invasion of Urushion and fresh inferior. A few years have passed, and the rebellion of the Urushion and the fresh inferior have basically subsided. "
Thinking about Yang Lin, Huangfu Song couldn't help but feel a wave of bitterness in his heart. It was precisely because of this moment of carelessness that caused the great achievement of calming the yellow cloth fell upon Yang Lin. However, Huangfu Song was a broad-minded martial general after all. Although he didn't like Yang Lin, he still admired him a lot.
"As for the rebellion of Zhang Chun within the borders of the Youzhou, it was entirely the crime of this traitor, Zhang Chun. Even so, Zhang Chun's rebellion only came from the two counties, the other counties in Youzhou were not affected, and even the fresh inferior did not dare to take advantage of it.
"Actually, cultivating in the Border County was not Yang Lin's first time. At the time of Emperor Xuan, the old general Zhao Zhenguo was sent to fight against the rebellion of the West. After pacifying the West Cold's rebellion, Zhao Zhenguo implemented her plan of farming in the West Cold. He believed that there would be twelve spoils of war left for the land, and the army would have twelve, so he requested for the imperial government to adopt her plan. Later, when the Qiang people was at peace, and when the Border County was abolished, there was no return of the Qiang people. "
"The best course of action now is for the Emperor to dispatch troops to annihilate the main forces of the rebel army, suppress the arrogance of the rebel army and drive the rebellious Qiang people towards the desert. They gathered the refugees and headed to the West Cold to protect the village. At the same time, they wanted the Imperial army to protect themselves. This way, the West Cold s will be at peace, and will be able to submit to others without fighting. "
Obviously, Huangfu Song had already prepared himself to say so much in one breath. As a citizen of West Cold, he kept an eye on the situation in his hometown. As a high-ranking officer, he kept an eye on the situation in the world. Now that he had the chance, he told Hanling Emperor everything in his mind.
Hanling Emperor shut his eyes, quietly listening to what Huangfu Song was saying, but after Huangfu Song finished, he did not react for a long time. The chamber was abnormally quiet, no one dared to even breathe, afraid that they would disturb the Hanling Emperor's beautiful dream.
Huangfu Song thought that Hanling Emperor had fallen asleep and could not help but be extremely disappointed. He had been speaking for a long time, completely talking to the cow. Most likely, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong did not even hear a single word he said. He lowered his head gloomily, sighing in his heart. The big man was in such a state of decline, how could he sleep?
"Huangfu dantian, what do you think about Dong Zhuo?" Suddenly, Hanling Emperor opened his eyes and stared at Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song lifted his head and just happened to see Hanling Emperor Liu Hong's sharp eyes. So it turns out that the emperor had not fallen asleep yet. However, he was not interested in his plan to quell the rebellion. He was focused on the generals who were leading the troops.
Since ancient times, the Emperor had always had a suspicion towards the great generals that led soldiers outside the city. Huangfu Song was not surprised by the fact that the great generals with exceptional achievements had even worried the Emperor. It's just that West Cold's rebellion is flourishing right now, so this was not the time to be suspicious!
"Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo grew up in the West Cold, and is familiar with the terrain of the West Cold and the tribes there. He has fought valiantly and defeated Qiang people's rebel soldiers many times, so he is indeed a rare general. Now is the time for the imperial government to use people. Letting him pacify the rebellion in the West Cold is the perfect time for everyone to do what they can. "
Huangfu Song clearly knew that Hanling Emperor Liu Hong had never trusted Dong Zhuo. All these years, he had always used Zhang Wen Sikong as his rider and Yuan Pang as his deputy, leading the army to fight against North Palace's Bo Yu. He appointed Dong Zhuo as the General and assigned him to be under Zhang Wen's command along with General Zhou Xin, the bandit general.
Hanling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hands, interrupting Huangfu Song's words. He knew Dong Zhuo better than anyone else; he just wanted to see Huangfu Song's attitude towards him. We shall order you to be the Left General, to supervise the former General Dong Zhuo, and to unite forty thousand men to reject the Kingdom. "How about it?"
From the moment he received the notification from Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, Huangfu Song had already expected that the Emperor would send him to West Cold to pacify the traitors. However, when the Emperor told him this new information, he still raised his head in surprise, staring blankly for a short moment. Then he knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty! This subject accepts the decree! "
"Get up." When Huangfu Song sat down, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong said indifferently, "West Cold's rebellion has been going on for a long time. "My beloved one, you should quickly eliminate all of the rebel forces, and then proceed with your long term plan of cultivating the land."
"Yes sir!" Huangfu Song hurriedly said, but he was secretly shocked in his heart. It turned out that the Emperor had not been asleep just now. Not only had he heard of his plan to surrender without a fight, he had even agreed to it. It looked like this time, he could really send troops to the West Cold to pacify the rebellion.
"Hanling Emperor Liu Hong turned around and picked up a book of Recital s from the table and casually handed it over to Liu Yu. My beloved, this is the Recital that Yang Lin sent over. The leader of Wu Huan, Qiu Liju, wants to make peace, salute my man, and withdraw from Youzhou.
Liu Yu took Yang Lin's Recital and looked at it seriously. He didn't even read a few lines before his eyebrows relaxed. All this while, he had always advocated to pacify the Hu and Barbarian at the border of the big sized man, and he did not agree with fighting face to face. The fact that Qiu Liju was able to negotiate with them was exactly what he wanted.
"Your Majesty, this subject thinks that we should accept Qiu Liju's peace treaty. Isn't it just three million stones, if both sides were to start a war, I'm afraid we would lose far more than three million stones. If Qiu Liju returns to the desert, the date of Zhang Chun's rebellion will be set. "
"Three million stone grains is not a small amount!" Hanling Emperor Liu Hong looked at Liu Yu with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "This year's Yellow River is flooded, the entire country is in disaster, and there are seven Countryside s who are unable to get a single grain. It won't be easy to gather all three million stone grains!"
Liu Yu knew that Liu Hong felt bad for money, but he knew that no matter how great the calamity was, three million stones worth of food was still sufficient. He advised, "Your Majesty, that Zhang Chun called himself the Son of Heaven, ordering everyone to praise him as a subject. Such a traitor, it is best to find him as soon as possible, and if not, there will be endless troubles in the future! "
"I'm not feeling sorry for those three million stone grains." Hanling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hands, and his eyes revealed a trace of doubt: "What I do not understand is that Yang Lin is a martial artist, he has never been lenient towards people of the Hu family. Why would he agree to negotiate with Qiu Liju?"
"Your Majesty, your subject has also heard of this. Although Youzhou had been calm these past few years and had accumulated some money, Yang Lin had calmed down the rebellion in Pitiful Moslems, and had spent more than a year's time there. If he were to fight the Urushion now, he would really not be able to afford the food. " Liu Yu had been to the Youzhou before, so he naturally knew about the situation there. If it was in the past, he would not even be able to take out the money to pacify the Leroy County.
"Qing Qing, what do you think of Yang Lin?" Hanling Emperor Liu Hong suddenly changed the topic and asked. Although there was rebellion everywhere in the world, he wasn't too worried. He didn't know why, but he was increasingly worried about the two high-ranking officials of the border who were holding powerful troops.
"Your Majesty, all these years, this subject has been paying attention to Yang Lin. From his actions in the past few years in the Youzhou, this subject believes that he is not only a martial artist, but also a very intelligent person. "" From his actions in these past few years in the Youzhou, this subject thinks that he is not only a martial artist.
Although Liu Yu did not like Yang Lin, he had to admit that the series of measures that Yang Lin had taken had helped to alleviate the social conflict greatly. Even though the tyrants of those places were dissatisfied, they could only obey Yang Lin's mighty force.
"My beloved, I am going to appoint you as Grand Commandant to head to the Youzhou to urge Yang Lin to negotiate with him. After he leaves the Youzhou, I will immediately pacify Zhang Chun's rebellion. "How about it?" Hanling Emperor Liu Hong looked at Liu Yu and said indifferently.
Liu Yu understood in his heart that Liu Hong was worrying about him, and wanted him to monitor Yang Lin. However, Youzhou was not Liang Zhou. There were more than twenty thousand northern troops in the Liang Zhou army, and that was the imperial court's Janissary Guard. They had once followed Huangfu Song to pacify the xanthopanax, and the generals of the northern troop would listen to Huangfu Song's orders. And Yang Lin was the one who established the entire Youzhou army, who would listen to him?
"Your Majesty, this subject believes this matter to be inappropriate. That Yang Lin was not Dong Zhuo, he had never had a precedent of disobeying orders and disobeying orders, and the Youzhou Army was not West Cold Army either, they were all local army. This official will go, without Yang Lin's permission, I am afraid this official will not be able to transfer a single soldier. "
What Liu Yu did not say was that Yang Lin was also a rider general, and was one of the three great lords. Even with his status as a Grand Commandant, he might not be able to suppress Yang Lin. Moreover, this was the time to use troops. To change a general in the middle of a battle was a huge taboo for the military.
"I don't want you to go to the Youzhou to fight like General Huangfu Song. We are only asking you to urge Yang Lin to negotiate with the Urushion as soon as possible and to eliminate Zhang Chun's rebellion in the first half of next year. " Hanling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hands and said with a rare decisive tone.
