I really just want to lose my fortune

"No." Yang Yande frowned slightly.

I saw a tiny bloodstain on Lu Bu's neck.

"I lost..." Zhao Yun said helplessly.

"Ha, if it's a life-and-death battle, it's still unknown who will win and who will lose." Lu Bu put away Fang Tian's painted halberd with a smile.

Qin Ge didn't understand, and tugged at Yang Wulang's sleeve: "What's the matter, isn't Feng Xian injured?"

"When he finally kept his hand, Zilong didn't have the strength to hold it back." Yang Wulang said: "Lu Fengxian took it."

The two stood up at the same time and saluted Qin Ge.

Qin Ge quickly stepped forward and helped the two of them up: "Both of you are top-notch in the world, it really opened my eyes."

"My lord, thank you." Lu Bu said hastily.

"Okay, this king is a little more sure about this matter." Qin Ge clapped his hands and laughed.

…………

At the same time, Chang'an, Chaohui.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars have already issued a letter of war, and the army will soon go south, why not?" Zhao Kuangyin, who had no sense of existence before, had already appeared at this time.

His eyes are firm and his voice is sonorous and powerful.

Obviously, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to fight.

Qin Wenkui's face was very ugly, it was a house leak and it was raining all night!

When is it not good for the northern nomads to invade, but why is it at this juncture?

If you say you are invading, just invade. Go to Youzhou. There is King Yan in Youzhou, so he will definitely be able to withstand it.

The problem is that the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are in the hands of Wu Sangui, and they are more to guard against King Yan.

Although the four counties are producing a lot of food, this is still a drop in the bucket for a country. Coupled with the empty treasury, it is impossible to spend much money to fight the war.

"Your Majesty, peace is the most important thing." Cai Jing had already returned at this time, and hurriedly said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs simply cannot afford military expenses."

"Your Majesty, the subject agrees to negotiate a peace." Qin Hui also stood up: "Do they have any conditions or requirements? It is difficult for me to gather the funds to start the army now."

"If it is head-to-head, within half a year, the court will be dragged down!"

"Their request..." Qin Wenkui gritted his teeth: "They said that we kidnapped the wife and children of the Great Khan of Tatar, and also robbed them of an unknown number of caravan herdsmen."

"Ha, why is there no excuse for the crime?" Xing Daorong patted his stomach and stood up: "Kidnapping their sweaty wife and children, who has the ability, Lao Xing calls him father!"

"Well, this is really strange." Yuan Shu touched his chin.

"Hmph, it's still our soldiers who go deep into the enemy's rear and run away after arresting people." Qin Wenkui clenched his fists: "Why don't they say that we also caught their sweat?"

"That's right, if anyone has this ability, the Tatars would have been wiped out long ago." Zhao Kuangyin said, "The terrain in the north is complicated and the population is scattered. Even if the ministers lead the army, they dare not say that they can find their big tent and come back safely. Not to mention a small group of people."

"Well, it's okay to be lucky once, but can you get better twice?" Xing Daorong said: "It's not easy to remember the way when you go and come back. The wind and sand over there are very annoying."

In this era, this can already be called a fantasy, and no one here believes it at all.

In their view, Tatar just wanted to find a reason to invade.

"Your Majesty, if the Tatars want silk, porcelain, gold and silver, we can give them to them." Cai Jing said anxiously, "We really can't fight now!"

Sometimes there is no need to wash away weakness, but fighting is really exhausting.

Like the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the official history, Wei Qinghuo had the backing of the whole country to attack the Xiongnu when he went to the north, and Emperor Wu of the Han really dared to devote himself to the military.

Qin Wenkui was silent, for he clearly understood the extent of the country's financial difficulties.

One of Zhang Juzheng's reforms won his heart, that is, commercial taxation!

Although the status of merchants was low before, the tax level was low.

Although Zhang Juzheng's commercial tax was tried out in Handan, many businessmen were discouraged, but at that time, three counties of the four counties were in Handan. In addition, some crops were special, and there were no living families in Handan to resist, so it was not difficult to collect taxes.

It's a pity that if this law wants to be pushed to the whole country, there are many obstacles, and it will not be effective in a short time.

Now that the Tatars have come, and there is no time to do such a thing, what should we do now?

"Hmph, Qin Hui, what are you farting, begging for peace? Then what is the might of my great Qin?" Xing Daorong said dissatisfiedly: "The next step is to get married and cede land?"

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!" Yang Guozhong stood up and said sonorously: "They use such unfounded reasons to attack, it can be seen that they are unwilling to be kind."

"If I take a step back, I will take countless steps back in the future!"

"Give me [-] soldiers and horses, and I am willing to destroy the Tatars!"

"[-]? Do you really think I don't understand soldiers?" Cai Jing was really anxious: "How long do you want to fight with [-] soldiers? Do you know how difficult it is to transport materials? Do you know how much military expenses are left now?" , do you know how much food is left?"

Yang Guozhong and Xing Daorong opened their mouths, as if a flame of war had been ignited, and the hall began to jump around.

Most of the people present were civil servants, and most of them were peacemakers.

The war faction doesn't know how expensive firewood is if they are not in charge, but the peace faction knows it!

It costs too much to fight a war, and Daqin can't afford it now.

In the final analysis, most of the wealth is still in the hands of the family, not in the court.

"Your Majesty, let me fight with thirty thousand troops!" Zhao Kuangyin said viciously, "If this battle is withdrawn like this, how can I have the face to meet the late emperor?"

"Taiwei, it's not a matter of how many troops are dispatched, what if the dispatch is less and we lose?" Qin Hui said, "It's not as good as negotiating a peace!"

"Okay, okay." Qin Wenkui waved his hand helplessly.

Seeing that Qin Wenkui was finally about to speak in the court hall, he couldn't help but quiet down. Everyone looked at Qin Wenkui expectantly, hoping that Qin Wenkui would give them an answer.

"Fight, we must fight." Qin Wenkui said.

"Your Majesty..." Cai Jing still wanted to speak, but was stared at by countless generals, like a light on his back.

"However, the imperial court really can't send out too many troops." Qin Wenkui focused his attention on Yang Guozhong: "Uncle Guo, I will rush to help Bingzhou with your [-] soldiers and horses. We are only allowed to defend, not to attack."

"Huh..." Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

If you just keep it, you can barely hold it.

"They probably want to take advantage of others' danger to see if they can take advantage. The more we retreat, the more they will push forward." Qin Wenkui said in a deep voice, "So, even if they are guarding, they must be beaten! "

Chapter 258 doesn't exist?

Although it is not a good choice to go to war with Tatar now, and Jurchen and Oala are also ready to move, but if they do not go to war, they will cede land and pay compensation...

Qin Wenkui said that he couldn't afford to lose that person in front of his ancestors.

What Daqin lacks now is not soldiers and horses. It is said that there are [-] troops stationed near Chang'an. If they are mobilized for a big fight, they can mobilize [-] troops within a month. .

Qin Wenkui dared to check and balance like this, partly because although the current court is not as stable as a triangle, it is not bad, and partly because the greatest military power in the entire Great Qin has always been in his hands.

If you have soldiers, you will have the confidence to speak.

It's a pity that the treasury has been empty due to natural disasters for many years, and coupled with the lack of food, it is impossible to move out the army.

Otherwise, Qin Wenkui really wanted to take care of the Tatars.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Song stood up at this time, and said anxiously: "Even if it is only [-], the funds required for the march are not a small amount. Besides, the Tatar army invaded, only [-] more troops, it is too difficult to resist what."

"I have made up my mind." Qin Wenkui said firmly, "If they want to fight, then they will fight!"

"Your Majesty..." Yang Guozhong's expression changed.

[-] soldiers, this...

Not enough!

The Tatars have not invaded the territory of the Great Qin for so long, and if they come to fight at this time, they are afraid that they will be overwhelmed by a large army.

"Uncle Guo, please." Qin Wenkui said in a deep voice, "It's good if you can resist."

"This... the generals will be selected by the minister himself." Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me fight." Zhao Kuangyin said, "Twenty thousand is enough."

"Let Uncle Guo go, Chang'an still needs a Taiwei to sit in charge." Qin Wenkui said.

Zhao Kuangyin's prestige in the army is too high, Qin Wenkui really dare not let Zhao Kuangyin fight.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is upright, he doesn't seem to be resentful.

However, sometimes what depends on is not whether the person is willing to rebel, but whether he has the ability to rebel.

If Zhao Kuangyin led the troops out and returned with a big victory, if he wanted to rebel...the consequences would be immeasurable.

Xing Daorong?Although he has rights in the Ministry of War, everyone knows why this person can become Minister of the Ministry of War. He is not worthy to be Zhao Kuangyin's opponent at all.

On the other hand, Yang Guozhong, with average prestige in the army, is safe no matter the outcome.

"Okay, the minister chooses...Taiyuan, general of the Yang family."

The only generals that Yang Guozhong can use are the generals of the Yang family. His nepotism still allowed him to be promoted too fast, and his foundation in the army was insufficient.

Still, that was enough for him.

big deal...

Ask Qin Ge for help.

I've helped him so much before, now it's his turn to help me.

"Okay, the Ministry of War and the Household Department will act together." Qin Wenkui said: "We must increase the number of troops as quickly as possible!"

…………

The imperial court was about to send out troops to fight, but Qin Ge also knew what happened.

"The Tatars invaded aggressively? This... What's wrong with them? This is not the day for the Tatars to invade." Qin Ge's head was already in cold sweat.

Normally, nomads would attack in autumn.

Autumn is high and crisp, and the climate turns cooler, which is suitable for nomadic activities.As the weather got colder and colder, the nomadic cavalry fought more vigorously, and the more they fought, the more profitable they were. The Central Plains army was not resistant to cold, and the more they fought, the more they suffered.In addition, fighting in autumn is likely to be delayed until winter. The freezing of rivers in winter will save the trouble of nomadic cavalry crossing the river, so nomads often choose to commit crimes in autumn.

The production of nomads is backward and their materials are scarce. In winter, there will often be a shortage of materials.And autumn is the season of grain harvest in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains will store supplies for the winter, so it is very conducive to their robbery.

"Oh?" Jia Xu was not surprised at all: "This battle is not easy to fight... If there is one bad thing, it is the Tatars aggressively invading the Central Plains. At that time, I am afraid that troubled times will come."

"What do you mean?" Qin Ge's eyes were on Jia Xu.

"The current supplies of the court are limited, so we can't afford to fight a big battle at all." Jia Xu fanned himself with a fan regardless of whether the weather was cold or not: "If the uncle of the country is defeated, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao can only send troops. Let's fortify and consolidate the state's defenses together."

"At that time, who will resist King Yan, and who knows if Dong Zhuo has ambitions?"

"Damn, my family's affairs are settled by my own family. In short, we must not let Tatars enter our Central Plains!" Qin Ge slapped the table and growled: "Invasion of Bingzhou is not allowed!"

What happened to Wuhu Luanhua, Qin Ge is very clear.

He didn't allow this kind of nightmare to happen.

Qin Ge glanced at the fortunes of the country, and the fortunes of the country, which had been booming, really began to decline.

"Yeah." Jia Xu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This plan is Li Ru's poisonous plan. Li Ru wants to force King Yan and Dong Zhuo to rebel.

In other words, Li Ru had planned to sacrifice the entire Bingzhou people before!

Li Ru's previous strategy would also hinder the imperial court from increasing its troops and allow the nomads to invade. At that time, Li Ru wanted to see the chaos in the world.

However, with Jia Xu's plan now, the two no longer need to let the nomads invade.

"I'll write a letter to Uncle Guo right away." Qin Ge said, "Where's Wen Ji? Call here quickly."

Qin Ge was not good at writing letters. Cai Wenji had already become Qin Ge's ghostwriter.

"Uncle Guo asked the prince for help?" Jia Xu was a little surprised.

"Well, he took care of me borrowing soldiers." Qin Ge said: "The people from Wagang and Xin Qiji are in Bingzhou. He was involved in the arrangement of this matter. He also knew about the killing of the imperial envoy. He still knows where the money will go. Know."

There was no way, with Li Ru's ability at that time, it was impossible to transport so much money, food and soldiers, and he needed the help of Yang Guozhong, a figure with all-hands and eyes in the court.

It was Yang Guozhong who helped Qin Ge before, and now it's time for Qin Ge to give feedback.

If it was something else, Qin Ge would hesitate a bit, but since this was a fight against a foreign race, Qin Ge would never stand idly by.

"Okay." Jia Xu said, "However, this battle has to be delayed by Uncle Guo, as long as he can."

"Sure." Qin Ge gave a wry smile: "The Tatar army came with [-] troops. Counting the defenders of Bingzhou, we can only send [-] troops, and most of them are cavalry."
