Rebirth King of Pit Climbing

Chapter 275: War or Peace

Fortunately, the news of the Liao** team's large-scale assembly came back within a few days. In just a few days, the military arrangements on the border were in place, which made the emperor feel a little more at ease.

Yang Ling was originally planning to pack her luggage and take Kong Yingxue and Sun Hunter out for a trip according to the traditions of later generations, just as she thought it was her honeymoon. When she heard that Yang Ling’s destination was Hainan, which is now Lizhou, everyone immediately said

To oppose it. Just kidding, where is that place, where barbarians live, for the people of the Central Plains, going to Guangxi is exiled, and going to Hainan is equivalent to expulsion. What's more, traveling now is really a very troublesome thing

Maybe it won’t be available for a year or two, so how can Old Man Shen give up? In the end, there was no way. Old Man Shen only agreed to Yang Ling take the two ladies around the surrounding area, look at the mountains and the water, which made Yang Ling very

It's not interested.

During Yangling's honeymoon, the 100,000 Liao army had already assembled and approached the border between the two countries of Chengliao. However, strangely, the army stopped ten miles from the border and set up camp without any intention of siege.

. What puzzled these generals even more was that the Liao Kingdom actually sent another mission to ask to come to Beijing to see the emperor. The border had to defend closely while quickly reporting the situation to the capital. Not long after, the reply came down

, send the Liao delegation to Beijing with gifts, and at the same time, the defense must not be relaxed.

The chief and deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom mission are still old acquaintances of Yang Ling, which is the original Xiao Jie and Yelu Zhegan. The news of the clouds of border wars has reached the ears of ordinary people. After all, I want to hide such a thing.

It can't be concealed. So the people watching along the way could not help but peel off the skin of the Liao Dynasty's mission. However, Xiao Jie had a bit of a self-defeating style, and he only had a faint smile along the way.

After Xiao Jie met the emperor, he went straight to the point and said that he heard that there was a magic medicine in Cheng Dynasty that could prevent smallpox in China. Cheng Liao and Liao countries were friendly and friendly, and they were brothers. I hope that Cheng Dynasty could pass this magic medicine to Liao Kingdom and let Cheng Liao

The people of both countries can continue to survive friendly for generations without having to feel fear of smallpox.

The emperor made a big deal about vaccination with cowpox, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. Just as the emperor was thinking and thinking, the King of Chu stood up and said sinisterly: "The magic pill is from God."

I was given to me. Those who have virtue in the world should take over it. Why didn’t God give it to the Liao Kingdom? It can be seen that the Liao Kingdom is definitely not a virtuous country. I followed the will of heaven and did not dare to disobey God’s will.

, So, the Liao envoy still asked to return.”

Although Xiao Jie and Yelu Zhegan represent the two major forces of Liao, it is obvious that this time, the two major forces have a common goal. So the two of them cooperated with each other. After hearing the words of the King of Chu, Xiao Jie just smiled slightly.

Then, Yelu Zhegan grinned and laughed: "My country in Daliao was shot down with one knife and one shot. So we also believe that we can still defeat such good things. We are just right.

A hundred thousand troops were prepared to practice on the border. The purpose was to make the army remember the glory of their ancestors."

Yelu Zhegan said this nakedly, and the threatening meaning was very strong. Although the emperor was very angry, he could only suppress his anger and think carefully about the gains and losses. The 100,000 troops were not the sporadic attacks on the border.

Caogu, once the war really begins, the national strength that Chengchao has finally gathered will definitely not be able to make ends meet, and such a big war will inevitably not be overwhelmed in a few months. If it cannot be fought quickly, it will inevitably be delayed. Then the country will be

If there is any natural disaster, the climate of rebellion will become.

Xiao Jie looked at the contemplative emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I, Daliao, adhere to the principle of first rituals and then troops, and is full of sincerity, so please carefully consider this requirement of Daliao."

Of course, such a major event cannot be decided on the spot, so the emperor asked the Liao envoy to go to the hotel to rest, and he discussed measures with the ministers to deal with it. In this way, the pro-war faction and the pro-police faction naturally emerged in the discussion.

The representative of the pro-war faction is the King of Chu. The King of Chu's view is that once the Liao Kingdom gets the vaccine, the Liao Kingdom's national strength will inevitably be further improved, so even if you do not hesitate to fight, the Liao Kingdom cannot be obtained.

Although Tai Shi Pang is the highest military commander of the entire Cheng Dynasty, this time it is rare to stand in the camp of the Lord Shen with Old Man Shen. Old Man Shen analyzed: "The Liao Kingdom is in great momentum, although the border preparation has been going on.

There was no end, but such a huge war must be mobilized from all over the country to support it. And once the battle started, the taxes of the court would be difficult. Once the war was delayed, the people would be overwhelmed."

The two factions still had a quarrel in order to fight and reconcile. Although the emperor was right and the emperor was right, the emperor still couldn't make up his mind and could only announce a date to discuss it.

After waiting for everyone to retreat, the emperor carefully considered himself, his fingers flew over the map little by little, and suddenly turned around and asked Juhuaguan: "Prince, do you think this time is a war or a peace?"

Juhuaguan thought for a while and said, "The son-in-law has no clue. If he doesn't fight, it will inevitably cause harm to the people's hearts and let the Liao Kingdom see clearly about us. In the future, everything may be taken for granted.

Things, and if the battle starts, not to mention how long the court's tax empowerment can last, we are working hard to find a breakthrough in the domestic dilemma in the past two years. Once the battle starts, all our efforts will be wasted, so the ministers will not be able to decide.

The emperor sighed and said, "What you said is what I think, and this matter is indeed very difficult to grasp."

Juhua was concerned and suggested: "Father, you can't call my son's third brother to ask. Maybe he has any good ideas?"

"Yang Ling?" The emperor was also stunned, then shook his head and said, "Although he has some skills in making money, he has no experience in government affairs, so how can he have any good suggestions?"

Juhuaguan was a rare stubborn one and said, "Yang Ling's perspective on the problem has always been different from ours. Now he is recruiting him not to make his father determined, but to fight or to put these two paths in the father's mind.

Maybe after asking him, would there be any other inspiration?"

The emperor thought about it and thought it made sense, so he hurriedly sent a quick horse out of the city to find Yang Ling. Poor Yang Ling, although he was within a hundred miles of the capital, was a honeymoon after all, and it was a good day for every night to sing.

But suddenly, someone was pulled out of bed in the middle of the night, making the family of three think that the emperor is going to put Yang Ling in prison again.

When Yang Ling was taken to the emperor with fear, Yang Ling's eyes were deep and yawned, looking the same as the addicts on the TV. The emperor frowned in dissatisfaction and criticized: "You should be a career at a young age.

First of all, how can you be so addicted to women?”

Yang Ling is so unfair. I am not so addicted to women. I was pulled up in the middle of the night, and then I was dragged to see you without saying a word. I didn’t sleep for four hours, even if you were the ones,

Is it better to doze off? But Yang Ling could only bury these complaints in his heart and asked respectfully: "I don't know if the emperor summons Weichen overnight. Do you have any instructions? If not, Weichen wants to go back and make up for it.

A sleep.”

The emperor had seen many cases of Yang Ling's big or small, but he just told him about the envoy of the Liao Kingdom and asked Yang Ling to help analyze. Yang Ling already knew about the situation of the Liao Kingdom's army, but he was not very worried.

Because neither Cheng and Liao were at a good time to start a war, ancient times were not modern times, and war was a means to divert domestic conflicts. After listening to the emperor's statement, Yang Ling realized that the reason why the Cheng Dynasty gathered a large army was to catch cowpox.

.Yang Ling pondered: "Your Majesty, I have heard a saying that war is the continuation of politics, while political issues are the concentrated manifestation of economic issues. In the end, the war between Cheng and Liao countries was only reflected in whom.

The national strength is stronger, so the war between the two countries at this time can only be the result of both sides losing money.”

The emperor asked, "As for this reason, do you agree with it?"

"Yes!" Yang Ling nodded and said, "But this peace must be for the Liao Kingdom to seek peace, not for us to seek peace. Since the Liao Kingdom wants to fight, we will fight. War is the condition for peace."

The emperor was confused by Yang Ling's words and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I know that Your Majesty has many concerns, because of the huge military expenditure, and is afraid that the people will not be able to bear it. However, Your Majesty, I just want to say that these elite soldiers are all made by fighting, not trained. So

My suggestion is to fight and reconcile at the same time. Harmony should be the ultimate goal, while fighting is to train troops on the battlefield. I dare to conclude that the Liao Kingdom certainly does not want to fight, so I can control this war to an acceptable limit.

In addition, we also create some good conditions for peace talks. I believe that Cheng Chao can still accept some small-scale battles."

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the emperor fell into deep thoughts again, and waved his hand to let Yang Ling go down. Then he called Old Man Shen and Grand Master Pang over, and the three of them closed the door and carefully discussed countermeasures.

Old Man Shen and Grandma Pang both lit up their eyes when Yang Ling's views. Both of them were extremely smart people. When they heard Yang Ling's sentence, "War is a continuation of politics, and political issues are a concentrated reflection of economic issues."

, I understand the general direction. The reason why the two people are in harmony is simply because the domestic economy is not good, but the Liao Kingdom's economy is also not good, and the domestic contradictions are still very deep. The reason why they want to gather a large army is nothing more than to

To divert contradictions and regain the hearts of the people, large-scale wars are unbearable, otherwise the Liao Kingdom would not have had a rare ritual before the army. (To be continued...)
