New Shun 1730

They galloped all the way to Guazhou. After the announcement, the attendant immediately let Liu Yu in.

After entering, just as he was about to salute, the emperor waved his hand and said: "No need. I'll give you a seat. You sit down for a while, I have some things to do here. When fighting a war, it's easiest to go to the battlefield. Logistics before the war, comfort after the war. "

"We have to negotiate with the Rakshasa to demarcate the border, demarcate the pastures of the Quanbu, and appease the Black Mountain sect of the White Mountain sect south of the Tianshan Mountains. Kazakhs also have to pay tribute...it's a headache."

"Come here, serve some refreshments. You must not have had a good meal along the way."

Liu Yu made a flattered expression and sat there, enjoying the refreshments brought by the attendants.

The emperor and several ministers were sitting there, seeming to be talking about the Zhunbu Ranch, and they were talking a lot.

The emperor took several refreshing snuffs, and some of the ministers also smoked. The tent was filled with smoke, and it really felt a bit like a military commander personally conquering the country.

After waiting for more than an hour, the ministers left.

Liu Yu hurriedly stood up and was about to salute again. This time the emperor stretched out his hand to stop, pointing to the original seat and said: "Sit down, you have made such a contribution this time, it is nothing to sit down. You want to come back in such a hurry, it makes I’m very awkward.”

"You know, you are worried about the navy; you don't know, you thought I was a cold-blooded person. Seeing that the Qingzhou Army can fight, I took away your military power early."

Knowing that this was a joke, Li Gan sighed: "Many people say that you should do this matter of protecting the Western Region. No one is sure that the matter here can be done well, and no one is willing to come. It has to be dealt with We also have to deal with internal affairs. They say that veterans are too old to deal with this kind of thing. You are someone who knows the surrounding countries, so they say that it is best for you to handle it."

"I can't tell you what you think. If your guide to Japan leaks out, it will definitely become a mess. If you are not ready yet, it is best not to expose this matter."

After being bored for a long time, he complained to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu didn't know how to answer.

After listening to the emperor complaining for a while, he said: "I don't think things in the Western Regions can be settled overnight. Although I have some meager skills, I am not qualified for the important task of conquering the Western Regions..."

"Yeah?"

Li Gan, who was still complaining just now, suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Liu Yu with a smile, and then said nothing.

Li Gan, who had been looking at Liu Yu with some fury, asked calmly: "The leaders of the Black Mountain Sect and the White Mountain Sect died like this. I think you don't know how to control and stabilize the Western Region, you know it very well! I'm just afraid of what you think, The idea of ​​​​is different from that of the imperial court, so there is a general who is not satisfied with the emperor's orders, so he will be killed first and then reported."

Liu Yu was very calm in his heart. He had thought of it when he first did it. But a look of panic immediately appeared on his face, and he pretended to kneel down. Li Gan smiled and scolded: "I can see it. When we were confronting the Rakshasa people in the north, before you went, you killed Du Feng first. I was so deceived that I wanted to follow you to attack Rakshasa's castle. Fortunately, I agreed to your idea at that time. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would have suffered a lot if you came again. "

"Now we have scored twice. The leaders of the Black Mountain Sect and the White Mountain Sect died in the hands of Junggar. By then, even if I want to restrain and pacify the south of the Tianshan Mountains, I will not be able to do it."

"Look, you have arranged things in the Western Region clearly. I think it is just right for you to go to Jiedu to protect the Western Region."

"If someone else takes the wrong path and doesn't suit your wishes, wouldn't you have to regret it again?"

What he said was a little bit yin and yang, especially when Liu Yu said that he was afraid that he would regret missing the opportunity of chaos in Europe.

Liu Yu felt extremely calm. When he dared to do it, he thought of this day.

Li Gan turned over the old accounts and quietly looked at Liu Yu's expression. Seeing Liu Yu's panic, he thought to himself that you are panicking not because you are afraid of losing your official position and favor, but because you are afraid of losing your future plans.

This man is very useful, and the things he does are all beneficial to the country.

But it's best not to let this happen again. Last time, I just treated it as a little kid eager to take credit, but this time it was simply a policy to force the imperial court.

Originally, there were many people in the court who supported the Baishan sect and recruited those south of the Tianshan Mountains to become Jisi Prefecture.

If we do this now, we will definitely not be able to restrain our troops. We must station troops south of the Tianshan Mountains. Otherwise, the south of the Tianshan Mountains will suddenly lose the intimidation of the Junggar tribe, and the brains between the white mountains and black mountains will be beaten out.

If a great hero were to emerge and rule the south of the Tianshan Mountains, there would be great chaos in the future.

This method of forcing the court's policy made Li Gan very unhappy.

Credit goes to credit, and there is indeed no one who can replace Liu Yu for the time being. However, the emperor really doesn't like a person who can't guess what he will do next, and whether what he will do next will force the court's policy.

Just like Liu Yu has been clamoring about conquering Japan and conquering Southeast Asia, everything sounds good, but no one in the court understands this kind of thing. Who knows what Liu Yu hides here?

After this battle, Li Gan recalled that he had indeed never asked about how the Western Region would be stable in the future.

Liu Yu also conscientiously adopted the Northern Army's strategy of using every possible strategy to win a decisive victory in the field. As a leading general and Dragon Ban, it was normal to make such a strategic report, and it was indeed done.

After crossing the mountain, he said that he would go straight to Yili, and the emperor further strengthened his ambition.

When they arrived in Ili to appease the quasi-division and attacked Chinook City, this was all within the scope of the emperor's permission to "reject the order of the foreign emperor".

It wasn't until the news came that the leaders of the two factions of Black Mountain and White Mountain were killed with the help of Zhunbu, and when Liu Yu came to stabilize the Western Regions, Li Gan felt that Liu Yu had clearly had thoughts about the stability of the Western Regions for a long time, but he had always wanted to stabilize the Western Regions. Don't tell.

Until now, everything has to be according to Liu Yu's arrangements. Because of the current situation, I have to say that the method arranged by Liu Yu, including a system of military reform, retirement, and immigration, is the optimal solution.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Western Region to settle down.

Although Li Gan also agreed, he even felt that doing so was loyal to the country.

But the problem is that this country belongs to his Li family, not Liu Yu. This made the emperor feel that he had to beat it.

Even though everything he did was beneficial, Huang Quan felt a trace of his heartache that he had always felt since Mobei.

Seeing Liu Yu kneeling there with fear on his face, Li Gan felt soft in his heart, but in the end he still hardened up and still smiled: "Aren't you very courageous? Are you scared now? I know you are like that People who have good intentions and have no regrets even after nine deaths are not afraid of losing their official positions or their lives, right?"

"If I don't allow you to take the next step, you will still whisper in your heart, you are a fool, and you have wasted the opportunity of the Europa War."

Liu Yu kowtowed several times, pretending to be panicked and said: "Your Majesty...I really don't think so."

"Oh, I don't say those heart-wrenching words. I just advise you. You are very smart. Now it seems that the king and the minister have a tacit understanding. But don't let this tacit understanding turn into being smart in the future! I am not a foolish king. You are Long Jin and a close minister. If you have any ideas, why can't you tell me your thoughts only when the arrow is on the string? "

Having said this, Li Gan walked forward and asked: "Liu Yu, ask yourself. You said you wanted to build a navy, and I agreed despite all the opinions. You said you wanted a decisive battle north of the Altai Mountains, and I also agreed. As long as it is beneficial to the country, can't I distinguish the pros and cons?"

"I am not a foolish king, nor do I want to be."

"A faint king, a faint king, you don't have to force Yue Wumu to death to be called a faint king, but someone who is loyal to the country and has policies that are beneficial to the country and the people, but dare not say or mention them, isn't that not a faint king?"

Liu Yu saw the emperor getting angry and buried his head in saying, "Your Majesty, please allow me to defend myself."

"Say it!"

"Your Majesty, I am not the kind of monster who knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later. Before entering the Western Regions, I didn't even know about the White Mountain Sect and the Black Mountain Sect. I wanted to be in Saili at the beginning. Muhu fought a decisive battle with the Quanbu, but the General Staff proposed the Ziwu Valley plan to make a surprise attack on Chinook City at that time. Okay, I thought, let's just get this done. Could it be that...could it be that Your Majesty thought that I had everything under control? The decisive battle on the northern front requires survival, but this can be judged. The remaining things happened suddenly and had to be done. "

Liu Yu added: "Just like when Li Weifeng was against the Turks, the incident happened suddenly and he almost caught up with Tang Jian. Does your Majesty really think that all this was expected in advance? However, the plan made by the staff was just to attack Ili by surprise. , I arranged for the leader of the Black Mountain Faction and the White Mountain Faction to die at the hands of the Quanbu, and I also made it clear in the memorial. "

Li Gan frowned at such an excuse. After thinking about it again, it seemed to make sense.

After the war, I saw that Liu Yu's fight was really smooth. When no one was optimistic about the success of the field battle, he defeated the last elite force of the quasi-force in one battle, which gave Li Gan an illusion. It seemed that Everything is under control.

After thinking for a moment, Li Gan's face brightened, but he did not ask Liu Yu to get up immediately.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to beat Liu Yu, but Li Gan had always had an indescribable feeling: he couldn't figure out what Liu Yu wanted to do.

This has been the case from the First World War in Heilongjiang to the present.

This feeling has long been a worry for Li Gan, but Liu Yu has been squatting in Weihai to train troops in the past few years, and the Pingzhun incident finally made this hidden worry appear again.

Li Gan felt that it was his own worries that led to today's misjudgment. It seemed that these things happened just in time and were too late to repay, and it was not Liu Yu's premeditation.

I just always felt that although Liu Yu was talented, he was out of tune with everyone in the court.

He was born into a noble family, but his behavior was incompatible with the children of noble families; he had the ability to govern the local area, but he was also incompatible with civil servants who came from the imperial examination; he was the leader of the Wude Palace, but his ideas were incompatible with those of good families.

This awkward feeling continues to this day, and my heartache was triggered, and I finally took advantage of today's events to take a beating.

Li Gan originally just wanted to beat Liu Yu, but at this time he said "confidently" again: "Don't misinterpret my original intention. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to let you know my sincerity, and I also want to do it." You are a wise king who expands the territory and benefits the country and the people. You may have ideas like those of Wang Jinggong and Zhang Taiyue, but I may not support them.”

"If you don't let me down, I will certainly not let you down. If you have any thoughts in the future, just say it. Whether it's right or wrong, whether it's OK or not, won't I and the ministers of Tianyou Hall be able to judge?"

"If something is wrong, change it, if not, add encouragement. Whatever you do in the future, don't make it clear when the arrow is on the string and you have to shoot it."

"Of course, if there is something that needs to be decided on the spot, don't look back and forth, just do it. You have to grasp this degree."

"Get up."

After saying "get up" several times, Liu Yu stood up. Li Gan slapped him and gave him a sweet date. He reiterated: "Don't worry. I hope to be a wise king, and I also hope that you can be my arm. I am not blaming you, but I just want you to know that if you have any ideas in the future, just speak up boldly. There is no crime in this dynasty for speaking, what are you afraid of? Even if someone attacks, can't I protect you? Do you know how many memorials have been impeached against you in the past few years?"

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your majesty's grace and trust and do my best."

Li Gan nodded, thinking that today's beating was almost enough, and then he complained to Liu Yu about a lot of things about the aftermath of the Western Regions.

After saying this, he finally talked about Liu Yu's arrangement for the Jiedu Jinghai.

"I am determined to accomplish what you said, and I trust you. But as for the Japanese affairs, there are no garrisons and no restrictions, so there should be no surprises. If you have any ideas that you haven't said yet, you might as well say them all at once, so as to avoid creating a situation in the future that forces me to accept it. I... don't like it."

"I really don't like it."

Glancing at Liu Yu with sharp eyes, Li Gan felt that he had given Liu Yu enough grace and honor as an emperor who spoke so thoroughly to his subjects.
