He didn't give Qin Jiyan too much time to grieve. Less than half a month after he returned to Beijing, the war report came from the border that Jingyan was defeated and hundreds of thousands of troops were burned to death in the city. Taking advantage of this great victory, the Northern Qi Dynasty sent troops to attack Daqin.
"All the soldiers and horses of Jing Yan are dead?" When the news came back to the capital, not only the Manchu ministers, but also Qin Jiyan was surprised.
There are 150000 soldiers under Jing Yan's command. So many people can't be burned to death.
Moreover, Jing Yan's soldiers are not useless. There are more soldiers in the Northern Qi Dynasty than they are, and they still don't get good. How could it be that all of a sudden, all the troops under Jing Yan were destroyed.
"Back to the holy, yes. Huxia city in the Northern Qi Dynasty has become a dead city, in which all 150000 troops died. " The small soldier of the Herald said with gnashing teeth.
Although Jing Yan is a bandit, his troops are from Daqin. It's their business to deal with the traitors of Daqin. It's too much for the Northern Qi Dynasty!
To make sure that the news was true, the ministers took a breath, one by one showing anger. Qin Jiyan was the calmest one in the audience. "What's the matter?" He didn't believe that nothing had happened. The soldiers under Jing Yan's hand would be defeated so thoroughly.
"According to the investigation, it was Jing Yan's sister who colluded with the Northern Qi, controlled the army with secret medicine, and helped the Northern Qi set fire to the city." To put it simply, Jing Yan was sold by himself.
"Ni Yue!" Qin Jiyan is not surprised to hear that Ni Yue betrays Jing Yan. In his opinion, it will be sooner or later. However, what he didn't expect was that Ni Yue was so cruel and killed 150000 troops at one stroke.
Such a woman, can't stay!
"If you go back to the holy place, it's this woman." 150000 troops were destroyed in the hands of a woman, which shows how vicious that woman is.
"What a Ni Yue, what a gate of longevity." You don't have to think about it. It must be the work of changshengmen.
Qin Jiyan closed his eyes and said coldly: "pass on my order, let the Northern Qi Dynasty hand over Ni Yue in half a month, otherwise my troops of the great Qin Dynasty will conquer the imperial court of the Northern Qi Dynasty."
Before, he didn't have the desire to dominate the world. What he wanted was to build a strong and rich Daqin, and then teach their children with Qiancheng to live a happy life.
Now?
Since there is no expectation in life, we should destroy both Xihu and Beiqi!
"Holy, you can't..." As soon as the emperor's words came down, some generals came forward, "my Lord, the troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty are strong and strong. Although we have a lot of troops in the Qin Dynasty, most of our troops are in Xihu. It's not good for us to fight with the Northern Qi Dynasty at this time."
"The first battle of Xihu will be over soon. In a month, Yanqing will be able to bring his troops back." Qin Jiyan is still in full control of political affairs.
This river and mountain is to be handed over to his son. He said nothing would destroy it.
"Emperor, the soldiers are tired all the way. I'm afraid they will be tired after continuous fighting. It's really not a good time for us to start a war with the Northern Qi Dynasty." The general was very afraid of Qin Jiyan's pressure, but he still insisted on speaking.
The battlefield is the Shura arena. The first second is birth, and the next second may be a corpse. Everyone on the battlefield is under great psychological pressure, worried that he will die in the next second, worried that he will die in the next battle.
Everyone who survives from the battlefield has been severely tested both physically and mentally. After the end of a great war, soldiers should be given at least three months to six months to cultivate themselves. Otherwise, they will be crazy if they keep holding on all the time.
Qin Jiyan looked at his opponent coldly, "according to your meaning, we want to seek peace from the north?"
"Lord, it is in our best interest to seek peace in this life." The general fell down on his knees with a plop and lowered his head. He did not dare to look directly at the holy face.
Qin Jiyan sneered, put his hands on the armrest, and stroked the armrest with his thumb. After a long time, the commanding general looked at Jinyan and said, "Jiao Aiqing, do you think so?"
"Lord Jiao, who was named, accepted his orders and stood up," emperor, the wolf of the Northern Qi Dynasty is ambitious. I'm afraid we have to fight if we don't want to. "
Alas, there used to be a chief assistant in front of him, but he didn't feel anything. When he became the chief assistant, Jiao Da knew that it was not easy to be the chief assistant. No matter what happened, the emperor would shout "Jiao Aiqing" and let him make up his mind.
It's a good idea to take, but it's not so difficult to take an idea that suits both the emperor's heart and the minister's will.
"So Jiao Aiqing thinks it's time for us to fight?" As a "popular" emperor, he has always been "open-minded", allowing courtiers to express their views on political affairs, allowing different voices to appear.
"We have to fight if we don't fight in this war. The Northern Qi Dynasty will not miss this opportunity. Before Jingyan's troops were in his favor, and the Northern Qi Dynasty did not dare to act rashly. Now Jingyan's troops are completely destroyed, and the Northern Qi Dynasty will never miss this opportunity. " Like master Jiao, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan nodded gently, and his eyes fell on the general who had raised objection before, "General Li, what do you think?"
"My Lord, our food, grass and troops are not enough to support our war against the Northern Qi." General Li has a sad face and tears in his eyes.As a military general, it is a very humiliating thing for him to say such things as seeking peace. If there was no way, he would not say no war.
"Daqin has flooded the south of the Yangtze River and will be short of food in two or three years. Do you think the Northern Qi Dynasty will not know this? Since the Northern Qi Dynasty knew it, do you think it would miss this opportunity? " Qin Jiyan snorted coldly, "General Li, did you hear what Jiao Shoufu said? The ambition of the wolf in the Northern Qi Dynasty is that we Daqin want to ask for peace, and they will not agree with it. "
"Besides, you don't know how to ask for peace, do you? They ceded the city and offered a large number of grain, gold, silver and women. Do you think we can get enough food? Are you willing to sacrifice your wife and daughter? "
"General Li, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. In the past, Daqin begged for peace in the north, but he was defeated and had no way to fight. Now we have not started to fight you, we are asking for peace. You are raising the prestige of others and destroying your ambition. You are also using the flesh and blood of the people of Daqin to support the enemies of Daqin and fatten them, so that they can go back and slaughter the people of Daqin and plunder the wealth of the people of Daqin. "
Qin Jiyan seldom said so much in the court. When he said that, all the people in the hall were silent, one by one with their heads down and staring at the tips of their shoes.
At least 90% of the officials present, whether civil or military, hope not to fight.
It's not fear, it's the current situation of Daqin, which doesn't allow them to fight against Beiqi and Xihu at the same time. Their military strength and financial resources are not enough to support them to fight against both countries at the same time, but
The emperor is right. If they seek peace in the North Qi and offer a lot of grain, grass, gold and silver to the North Qi this time, they are giving the North Qi a chance to grow up and at the same time reducing their own strength.
After a few years, Daqin regained its vitality, and the Northern Qi Dynasty was able to grow into a strong enemy of Daqin by virtue of the grain and grass, gold and silver provided by Daqin.
It's better to fight to death now than to raise a strong enemy. Even if it can't win, it can also consume the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty and make it unable to recover in a short time!
