As Bai Jinguang reported, Bu Liuguli emptied the entire palace, except for those big items that couldn't be moved, everything else that could be moved was removed.

Zhao Junsheng got off his horse and walked around the palace. After half an hour, he finally came to the Anchang Hall in the palace.

"During this period, Gu is here to deal with military and political affairs, so please tidy up and clean this place!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the soldiers cleaned up the hall, and the generals and officials accompanying the army rushed over to discuss matters after receiving the order.

The inside of the hall is very simple, but the imperial case and the screen are still there. Zhao Junsheng did not sit there, but stood directly behind the imperial case and said, "Bai Jinguang, please inform the generals and ministers that Pingcheng and Buliuguli are nearby. Let everyone know about the defense of the pass!"

"Yes!" Bai Jinguang agreed, and began to tell the ministers what happened in Pingcheng in the past few days, and the situation of deploying heavy troops to defend several passes leading to Yunzhong after Bu Liuguli led the army to withdraw from Pingcheng.

After Bai Jinguang finished his introduction, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Where are Gao Xiu and Gao Xu's army?"

Wang Zhu, an official in charge of news exchanges between the three armies, stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, just received the news from General Gao Xiu that he has led his army to capture Jinyang, and is waiting for His Majesty's order! General Gao Xu has captured Jinyang." Gao Liu, set off for the south today, and arrive in Pingcheng tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and looked at all the ministers accompanying the army: "What should our army do next, what suggestions do you have?"

Generals are natural

It is hoped that there will be battles every day, Yuan He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think I should take this opportunity to march westward and annihilate Bu Liuguli's forces in the clouds!"

An official stood up and said: "General Yuan, there are many passes on the way to the west. General Bai also said just now that according to the report of the horse scouts, the passes are heavily guarded and the terrain is dangerous. If it is not opened, it is impossible to break through in the short term!"

Fu Zhan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since sending troops from Pingcheng to the west to enter Yunzhong is blocked, I think you can order Gao Xiu to lead the army to station in Mayi first, and then attack Yunzhong from Mayi!"

At this time, Li Yuande stood up from among the ministers and said: "Your Majesty, I think that at this time, we should withdraw our troops and stop fighting. We should first consolidate the territory and subdue the counties of Bingzhou, and wait until we have completely controlled Pingcheng and the territories of Bingzhou counties before making any calculations. At this time, troops are rashly dispatched." In the middle, the rear of our army may be cut off at any time by the defenders of counties and counties that have not yet been subdued. In addition, there are a large number of Hu people in Bingzhou. People raised troops zào fǎn is an example, please think twice!"

Kou Qianzhi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that Li Shangzhi's concerns are not unreasonable. From the current point of view, subduing the various ministries of Bingzhou is the most important thing. Only when we completely control the various ministries of Bingzhou can our army feel at ease to send troops to Buliuguli! "

Although Zhao Junsheng is eager to wipe out Buliuguli's forces completely, what Li Yuande, Kou Qianzhi and others said is not unreasonable. Now he has not even completely conquered and subdued all the ministries of Bingzhou, and he has not implemented any real reforms. It would be unwise to rashly send troops to attack Yunzhong.

Unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhao Junsheng could only comfort himself in his heart.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Xu led the imperial army to Pingcheng.

"I pay homage to the king!"

"Get up!" Zhao Junsheng said and walked out from behind the case.

At this time, he was wearing a royal robe, walked down from Bi Dan with his hands behind his back and asked, "Is the journey going well?"

Gao Xu said: "Except for Gaoliu City, which resisted our army for a few days, the road is almost smooth and there are no obstacles!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Gaoliu is the northern gateway of Pingcheng, so it's normal to have a heavy garrison! How about the loss of soldiers and horses?"

"The loss is not too big. Up to now, more than [-] people have been killed and more than [-] people have been injured!"

The situation on Gao Xu's side was much better than Zhao Junsheng expected. In such a short period of time, it was already very good to hit Pingcheng so quickly with so few casualties.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How is the situation in Dongchile?"

Gao Xu said: "Rouran's strength has grown stronger in recent years, and the population of Dongchile has increased. I asked King Chile to recruit troops. King Chile was very unwilling to cooperate at first, and the progress of conscription was also slow. A few days ago, a Rouran ranger appeared on the western border of East Chile, and King Chile panicked, and he became more active in cooperating with the conscription!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "It seems that Rouran people are about to start to move. Wu Ti didn't go to fight Woye and Huaishuo Town, but turned his head to Dongchile. The situation in Dongchile makes me feel uneasy. Ah... In this way, you and the soldiers under your command will rest here for two days, and after two days, you will return to Dongchile quickly with enough food and fodder to keep an eye on the Rouran people. At the same time, you must also urge the king of Chile to Concentrate the soldiers, horses and herdsmen's livestock, once the Rouran people come to attack, you must join forces with King Chile to send troops to beat them back immediately, and don't let King Chile back down!"

"I understand!"

Two days later, Zhao Junsheng sent Gao Xu and the Yuyi army away. After a few days of thinking, he ordered Sima Chuzhi to be transferred from Qizhou to Wuchuan Town, and appointed Sima Chuzhi as General Anbei and Wuchuan Township. Take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the Rouran people.

At this stage, Zhao Junsheng believes that the Qian Kingdom does not yet have the strength to go on an expedition to Rouran, and Weijuan, Pibaozi, Xijuan, Lai Daqian and others are fighting at regular intervals, and the Southern Dynasty can tear up the peace agreement at any time, wanting to have an expedition to Rouran For strength, Wei Juan, Pi Baozi, Xi Juan, Lai Daqian and others must be dealt with first.

For this reason, Zhao Junsheng ordered Gao Jinzhi to command [-] troops to guard Pingcheng, appointed Yuan He to replace Sima Chuzhi as the general of Qizhou, and ordered Gao Xiu to conquer the counties of Bingzhou as the general of Bingzhou.

In September [-], Zhao Junsheng led his army back to Qianjing from Pingcheng. When he returned to Qianjing, it was just in time for Hua Mulan to give birth. Named Zhao Ping, this is their third child.

Having already retreated to Yunzhong City, Bu Liuguli was greatly relieved when he heard the news that Zhao Junsheng withdrew his troops to play a role in Qianjing, but he was not at ease. There is Wuzhou Pass in the east and Baidao in the north to prevent the army from rushing east. It is not safe to hide in the clouds.

Bu Liuguli approached Li Shun to ask about the policy, "Grand Li, although the king and His Majesty have settled down in the cloud, this Yunzhong County is not a rich place. There are still 6 or [-] people under the king's command. I am afraid that Yunzhong County will be difficult to support, and Yunzhong is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not enough to protect itself, so how will we bring peace to the world in the future?"

Li Shun stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's really rare for the prince to think of these things. This place in the cloud is indeed not the place where the emperor lives. There is a place, I wonder if the prince and the emperor dare to go?"

"Where?" Buliuguli asked.

Li Shun pointed to the southwest direction: "Chang'an!"

Bu Liuguli's expression changed: "Chang'an? That's the territory of leather leopards. If this king takes the emperor to Chang'an, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

Li Shun said: "My lord, don't worry, the leather leopard is an old minister of Emperor Taiwu, and also a playmate of Emperor Taiwu since he was a child. Only by being promoted and reused by Emperor Taiwu has he become as powerful as he is today! Today's son is the son of Emperor Taiwu. His skin leopard is not Who should support the emperor? If he treats the emperor with swords, the world will not think that this person is ungrateful and repays hatred with virtue? As long as the prince sends a eloquent person to Chang'an in the name of His Majesty to lobby Leather Leopard, he will definitely make Leather Leopard Allegiance!"

Chapter 683

Bu Liugu Li heard the words and asked: "I wonder who Li Gong thinks can take on this important task?"

Li Shun said: "If the lord doesn't think that the minister is unlearned and incompetent, then the minister will recommend himself to go to Chang'an to lobby the leather leopard!"

Bu Liuguli was overjoyed, but hesitantly said: "With Mr. Li on the horse, I naturally believe that Mr. Li will succeed immediately, but after Mr. Li leaves, no one around me will give advice and counsel on major military and political affairs. What should I do? ?”

Li Shun stroked his long beard, thought for a while and said, "My lord, although the old man Doulu Luyuan is a bit selfish, he is cunning and cunning. My lord usually listens to his opinions more often, but I just want to send someone to watch him." Him, in case he is bought for some yellow and white things!"

Bu Liuguli nodded: "I will keep Li Gong's words in mind, I don't know when Li Gong plans to leave?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, I'm going out this time not just to meet the skin leopard, I plan to go west to Huaishuo Town to meet Lai Daqian, after seeing Lai Daqian, go to Bogulu Town to meet Xi Juan, and then go See the leopard in Chang'an!"

Bu Liuguli's eyes lit up, her spirit was shaken, and she asked: "Is it possible that Mr. Li is sure to subdue them and respect the court?"

Li Gong said: "I dare not say that I am completely sure, I will only know after I go there!"

"So, this king will prepare some more gold and silver for Mr. Li!"

Two days later, Li Shun led dozens of entourages and headed westward under the guard of two hundred cavalry. Bu Liuguli led the officials to the city gate, and did not return until Li Shun had gone far.watermark ad test watermark ad test

Six days later, Li Shun and his party arrived in Huaishuo Town.

Lai Daqian was not too impressed with Li Shun's arrival. Li Shun's official position was Situ, and he was also an envoy of the emperor. He did not go out of the city to greet him, but sat in the lobby of the general's mansion and waited for Li Shun's arrival.

Li Shun was not surprised by Lai Daqian's attitude. Lai Daqian was a veteran of several dynasties, his ancestors were honored, and he was a general of the border town with a heavy army in his hands. Given the embarrassing position of the court, Lai Daqian did not reject him. The outside is already very polite.

Li Shun's subordinates were all blocked from the lobby, and he was the only one who was allowed to enter the lobby. He just looked at Lai Daqian with his hands behind his back, and Lai Daqian also stared at him with wide eyes. Speaking, whoever speaks first will lose their momentum.

The second son who came to Daqian came to mention it, but he was impatient, and he scolded Li Shun: "Old man, why can't you give me a big gift when you see my grandfather?"

"Hahaha..." Li Shun laughed.

Laiti was a little annoyed and furious: "Damn the old man is so rude, could it be that he deceived me that I have a knife in my hand?"

After Li Shun laughed, he was happy and not afraid, his face straightened, he stared at Lai Daqian and asked, "Come on, Daqian, let me ask you, are you still a minister of Wei?"

If Lai Daqian said that he was not a minister of the Great Wei, it would mean that he had betrayed the Great Wei. His family has been loyal for two generations, and he did not want the Lai family to bear the name of a traitor on his hands.
