Chapter 1292 Father and Son and Election
On July 20, the fifth year of Jianji, the Baohua Palace of Linshuo Palace was completed. Shao Shude and Zhao Yu were here to invite Shao Siwu and Zhang Yueniang and his wife.
Inside the bamboo forest, the cool breeze is swaying, quite quiet.
Zhao Yu was radiant, smiling and warmly greeted the newlyweds to have some snacks.
After eating and drinking almost the same, Shao Shude finally pointed out today's topic, and only heard him say: "The unification of the northern part of Daxia is just around the corner, and in the south, Sanchuan has already been in his pocket. There may not be any difficult wars in this world. The biggest obstacle to unification is mainly the epidemics, transportation and climate in the south. These are actually something that can be overcome. Siwu, what do you think now?"
Shao Siwu paused in his heart and looked up at his father.
Yue Niang pulled his hand with concern and encouraged her with her eyes. She had lived in the palace for several years and knew more than Shao Siwu who had been away all year round. Since she got married, her husband has been restless and sometimes he was stunned, which made her very worried - since she was married, she must consider her husband.
"I only obey the order of my grandfather." Shao Siwu said.
Shao Shude nodded slightly.
This answer is just right. It is not as sharp as before, but after experiencing so many things, it is appropriate to hide the edge.
"Although the offensives in various places are going smoothly and progressing rapidly, there are still many hidden problems." Shao Shude said: "Your help is also needed for your father."
Shao Siwu was a little surprised.
Shao Shude smiled. He could tell that Dalang was really surprised.
Zhao Yu gently put down the tea bowl. Neither of them said what he had talked about in Linbo Pavilion that day.
She didn't say it because she didn't want to cause misunderstandings from the saints.
The saint didn't say it, probably because the King of Qin had not come back yet. He was a cautious person and had been like this all his life. Although the King of Qin was getting closer and closer to the position of the crown prince, as long as he didn't make up his mind for a day, he would not block all retreats.
The day before yesterday, the King of Wei sent someone to send two sturgeons, saying that they were fishing at sea. He knew that his father loved to eat fish, so he sent them to him.
The King of Wei had a very solid resume. He had worked as a minor official at the county level, and had also worked as a serious county magistrate and county magistrate. Now he was a deputy general in the Pinghai Army. The only part that was disgraceful was that he lacked military merits and could not convince the public. The Pinghai Army had only 10,000 people so far, and could he still expect the navy to come ashore to help?
But it is not impossible for the saint to make a decision to arrange for him to fight in the south, establish meritorious deeds, and cultivate confidants.
"I won't talk about this anymore." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "Dalang, what do you think should you take next after conquering Chengde and Hedong?"
Shao Siwu hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I think I can destroy the Khitan first, collect all his troops, and then drive them to attack Huainan and Jiangxi. If Wu and Yue do not follow, they can also attack and attack."
"What do you think of Bohai Kingdom?" Shao Shude asked.
Shao Siwu said without hesitation: "When Grandpa attacked the Khitan, the Bohai Kingdom was probably going to rebel, and it might be served together."
"You have been in Liaodong for four years, and it seems that you have put in a lot of effort." Shao Shude nodded with relief and said, "It is easy to defeat them, but if you want to completely control them, do you have a good idea?"
"My grandpa wants to completely occupy the Bohai Sea? Abolish the vassal states and establish the county?" Shao Siwu was a little shocked.
"There are more than one million people in the Bohai Sea, including cities, post roads, farmland, commercial ports, and even academies and workshops. Why can't we occupy it?" Shao Shude asked back: "Do you think the Bohai State is better to be in vain?"
"I dare not speak nonsense. But the Bohai Sea has been passed down for 200 years, so I am afraid it will not be so easy to submit. Once I connect with the Khitan, it may cause a big mess." Shao Siwu said.
"What if the Khitans are all their own people?" Shao Shude asked.
Shao Siwu felt enlightened and still couldn't believe it.
"I'm crazy, the world is big..." Shao Shude patted his son's shoulder and sighed, "Don't think about it randomly. No rumors outside can be done in truth. You are the child of Yu Niang and I, I have high hopes for you. Don't be so shallow in your eyes. Look west, east, north, or even south. The world is big. If you make meritorious deeds and break up the land and become kings, it is not impossible."
Zhao Yu sighed slightly from the side and wiped the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief.
Zhang Yueniang sat obediently beside Zhao Yu, and shed tears when she thought of the sadness.
"Look--" Shao Shude pointed helplessly at Zhao Yu and his daughter-in-law and said, "You are twenty-two years old this year, not a child. How could you be discouraged by a moment of frustration and make your wife cry? A man is arrogant, cheer up, build merits for me, and build a foundation for your mother, and build a foundation for your future child. Isn't it good to have a foundation for your mother to pass on to your future children?"
"Father!" Shao Siwu's eyes were slightly red.
"Crying, so much like a woman!" Shao Shude cursed with a smile: "Even if your second brother is caught in a siege, he has never seen him cry. I used to have a bow and a knife, and I have made a living this foundation. You are still young, and there are many opportunities."
"Don't worry, my father has woken up and must have changed his past and shared the worries of the court." Shao Siwu said loudly.
"That's right." Shao Shude said happily: "It's as depressed as before, it's really not like a man. When Yue Niang saw you, she's afraid she'll kick you out of bed."
Shao Siwu smiled awkwardly, and Yue Niang's face turned red.
"Okay, I'll give you another leisurely day. When August autumn comes, you can inspect the three states of Gui, Ru and Ying for me and see how they are doing." Shao Shude ordered.
*******
After drawing a big cake for his son and injecting spiritual energy, Shao Shude began to conceive his plan and transformation of the world again.
Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi were seriously ill one after another. Shao Sheng looked left and right. It seemed that the world was invincible, so we could move to the next step.
As the saying goes, everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it is ruined. He has always liked to plan ahead, plant seeds, and then be friends of time.
Of course, the situation is now coming, and more and more people want to be his friends.
In the past few days, news came from the Khitan: Liu Rengong was willing to surrender to the court, but he offered conditions.
"I just don't know what's wrong!" Shao Shude put down his pen.
Yu Lu saw that the aunt was feeding her daughter, so she took a peek at the memorial, pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
She now found that this newborn young daughter was much cuter than her eldest, so she put all her thoughts on her.
"Liu Rengong is willing to help me fight the Khitan, but he actually wants to control the Bohai Sea." Shao Shude sneered.
He struggled in this troubled world for half his life, and asked himself that he already knew these martial artists very well. But Liu Rengong's greed still surprised him.
"Liu Rengong only has a half-destroy Fuyu Mansion, and his food and salary are not enough. How dare you think of seizing the Bohai Sea?" Yu Lu said strangely.
"The Khitan attacked the Bohai Sea, and Liu Rengong also came out and gained a lot. He should have four states now, and there is a more Qingzhou." Shao Shude said: "This time it was instigated by Abaoji, and he brought the Khitan nobleman who supported him. This guy is really restless."
Everyone knows that Bohai Country is a piece of fat.
A Baoji, with his nobles who supported him, conquered cities and territories in the Bohai Sea, and was invincible. And now with the help of Liu Rengong, they will also conquer the city, and their income will be even greater than the past.
When they returned to the tribe with a large number of slaves, food, livestock and treasures, those who did not go would be very jealous, and then they would fall and beat their chests and regret it. It can be said that in the battle with Yelu Zhendi, Abaoji won a battle back.
"In your opinion, how long can Hendejin Khan live?" Shao Shude leaned on the imperial throne and tapped the table with his right index finger.
Yu Lu Jigu's heart burst out when he saw it.
She heard that once a saint acted like this, it would indicate that he was making a major decision.
"I'm afraid I won't live long," Yu Lujiu said, "It's hard to say whether I can survive this winter."
The tribal shaman is not just a charlatan, but often also serves as a doctor part-time. Although in Shao Shude's view, Yu Lujiu's bullshit medical skills are simply to deceive people, he cannot resist the ignorant grassland shepherds believe it. She really saw Hendejin Khan's illness, so her judgment is professional and very close to the truth.
"If Hendejin Khan dies and the eight tribes re-elect Khan, will Abaoji have a great chance of choosing it?" Shao Shude asked.
"The subordinates will definitely not be elected." Yu Lu Jigu first ruled out the current eight Khitan tribes Yilijin, and then continued: "If you continue to let the people of the Yaonian clan be khan according to tradition, you must first let the people of the Yelu clan not come forward. In this situation, the younger generations of the Yaonian clan are not very good, and there is no hope at all. If Shi Lu or Abaoji comes out to choose, there is a high possibility of being elected."
"As soon as I got A Baoji down, he was about to come up again? Or should I get it right and be a Khan?" Shao Shude was a little unhappy and said, "It seems that there is a reason for this thief to attack Bohai in the east this year."
"Yes, it should be to increase people's popularity and choose Khan." Yu Lujiu said: "Last year, the court negotiated peace with the Khitan. Although many nobles supported the subordinates, they were forced. In the final analysis, they were intimidated by the imperial military power."
"So, can we intimidate the Khitan by the army's approach? Let Abaoji not be selected?" Shao Shude asked.
"Your Majesty can try it, but the ending is hard to say." Yu Lujiu said.
"A Baoji is really annoying." Shao Shude smiled and said, "I will capture him sooner or later, and I will kill him."
In fact, Xiao Dilu has also recently sent back the news.
He sneaked into Shuluping's army state and sent back some information about Zimeng County. But the more valuable ones were gone.
The people of Han Yanhui also contacted Han Zhigu. They did not reveal their identities, but only said that Youzhou was captured by the Xia army. They hated the Xia people and had to go out and seek refuge.
Shao Shude didn't know whether Han Zhigu believed it or not, but he did take Han Yanhui and others in and introduced them to Shuluping.
Shuluping attached great importance to these talents from the Han area. After taking the exam personally, he was appointed as official positions.
This courage is indeed good. If Han Yanhui and others were not "loyal", they would have been attracted by the Khitan.
"Your Majesty, not everyone in Yelu's family supports Abaoji, I hope..." Yu Lujiu said pitifully.
"What? Have you found a team for yourself in advance?" Shao Shude said: "You female slave, what are you thinking all day long? In two months, we will continue to give birth to my baby."
Yu Lu saw Gu's body tremble.
"Why? Don't you?" Shao Shude said with a smile: "Then I'll look for Chongguen. Her little mouth sucks. If I order her to serve her, I'll be very willing."
"Your Majesty..." Yu Lu saw the aunt handing over the child to the wet nurse, throwing her into Shao Shude's arms, and said in a sweet voice: "Isn't it much more comfortable to serve me?"
"You two mothers..." Shao Shude laughed. It was almost noon and he was a little hungry. After sucking and eating something, he continued to review the memorials.
After the Xingzhou camp was established, the dispatch of troops immediately began.
At the end of June, the Ding Hui unit of the Youguo Army rushed straight into the city, defeated Chengde reinforcements in the field, captured and killed more than 2,000 people, and then besieged the city. The Hubei Daozhou Army and the guards' personal army Meng Zhixiang's troops flocked to it, and captured the city in ten days.
Lu Huaizhong led the Wuwei army to the north from Xingzhou, Kebai Township, and headed straight to Zhaozhou.
The Daozhou army in Guannei advanced west from Jizhou and pressed forward step by step.
The first step in the battle between Cheng and Germany was progressing very smoothly.
According to the current situation, the possibility of sending troops to rescue in Hedong is getting smaller and smaller. Then everything is not that complicated. Now, Wang Rong is in a hurry with his field advantage and dare not attack, and falls into a passive position. Then he clears Jizhou, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou and other places one by one.
Follow-up reinforcements are also continuing to follow up.
On the entire Henan land, the second batch of 10,000 soldiers from Guannei Road have arrived in Heyang.
More than 20,000 soldiers from Zhili, Henan and Huaihai also set out to the north in succession.
This wave is necessary to train these local troops well. After passing this village, there is probably no store.
Chapter completed!
