Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 687 The Last Obstruction of the Northern Expedition

At this point, the errand that the emperor handed over to Li Xin can actually be handed over. After all, the things to be prepared by the Ministry of War have already been prepared, and the people who are responsible for sending it to the north are not from the Ministry of War, so as long as the things are handed over to Zhong Heng From now on, this matter has nothing to do with Li Xin.

   But the emperor still held Li Xin and talked for a while, mainly to discuss some details of the northern expedition and how much the breeders should fight.

   And one more important thing.

   That is to make a teacher famous.

   All dynasties in the Central Plains played a decent role. No dynasties would take the initiative to conquer foreign races. They were often counterattacked by aggression, or were unbearably disturbed, and then large-scale battles were launched.

   Of course, this premise is that China is unified. When the dynasties of the past dynasties founded their country, they must eat all the land in the pass, and then they can sit in the world with peace of mind. It takes one or two generations to change from the offensive to the defensive.

   Now, in the Great Jin Northern Expedition, there are actually some unknown teachers.

Because the Yuwen tribes in the north have been quite peaceful these years, even if there is a conflict, it is a small fight, and they have never attacked the northern border in a big way. Especially during the Chengde Dynasty, the Yuwen tribes sent an envoy to pay tribute to the emperor of Chengde. He brought a thousand sheep and two hundred cattle, and expressed his willingness to become a minister to the Great Jin.

   So now, it is very unreasonable for Dajin to rashly attack the north. After all, according to the thinking of Zhu Xia's descendants, if others do not do it first, if you take the initiative to hit others, it is unjust.

   This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise the Emperor Taikang will not be very good-looking if it is remembered in the history books in the future.

  The emperor coughed and said, "Chang'an, the imperial court can't learn from the unknown, but the Yuwen tribes have not suffered any evil in recent decades. How should we solve this problem?"

The Marquis of Jing'an has been thinking about the Northern Expedition, and he has been thinking about it for several years. Naturally, he has thought about this question. Hearing that, he answered without hesitation, bowing his head and saying: "Your Majesty, there is no evil in the Yuwen tribes, let's give them to them. Just create some evil."

  The Emperor glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile, "What does Chang'an mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "I have been paying attention to the situation in the north in recent years. The four Yuwen groups who have been fighting each other for decades have not had any major conflicts in recent years. It can be seen that they have not reached some tacit understanding. Someone has unified the four Yuwen tribes. In the near future, this situation will not pose any threat to the imperial court, but over time, the Yuwen tribes will inevitably grow and become the Yuwen tribe. At that time, the once powerful Beizhou Iron Cavalry will likely become Reappearing, at this time, the imperial court's campaign against the Yuwen Department was not an act of injustice, but a precautionary measure."

The word "benevolence" is of course the best word in the world, but this word can be used to educate all people, so that people all over the world can be good people and good deeds, but this word can never be used to govern a country, Li The Central Plains Dynasty that believed in that world was more or less tired of this word.

The aliens in the north were beaten badly, and even after they were scattered, the Central Plains Dynasty stopped pursuing victories, or even taking advantage of dangers, and threw them to the north. After a few decades, they would become wolves again. If the national power of the Central Plains dynasties is weakened, it will become a serious problem one after another.

   "Riding the dangers of others" should be the basic skill of every politician, but the officials in the Confucian dynasty were very familiar with using this trick for their own people, but they rarely used it to deal with foreign countries.

Having said that, Li Xin continued: "So, this time the northern expedition is very necessary. As for making a famous teacher, it is very easy. Your Majesty can send someone to the north and pretend to be the Yuwen tribes to attack the city of Yunzhou. It’s fine to pretend to be Yuwen’s tribes to loot the borders of our Great Jin, these things are very simple, as soon as things happen, my Great Jin will become famous.”

   As long as you are looking for trouble, it is very simple to find a reason. A superpower in the future can even do evil everywhere under the guise of "human rights". This is the reason.

   As long as your fist is big enough and your voice is loud enough, no one dares to refute what you say.

  Emperor's eyes lit up, he stroked his palms and smiled: "You still have the means in Chang'an, I understand how to do this."

  The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his head and said, "This is my minister's responsibility."

   After the two talked about Yunzhou City for a while, Li Xin quit the Weiyang Palace and left the imperial city.

After    Li Xin withdrew, the emperor's eyes were still a little hot. After all, Li Xin's words just now helped him solve the last two problems of Beizheng.

   That is the actual reason for the Northern Expedition, and the surface reason.

   These two reasons have already been given by Li Xin.

  The Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Imitation, I want to issue an edict to Chong Xuantong."

  …………

   Li Xin returned to Jing'an Hou's mansion, and only rested for about an hour before someone from his family came to report that it was the young master of the family, who asked to see him.

For the Chong family, Li Xin has always attached great importance to him, not to mention the issue of size. From the point of view of friendship alone, the Chong family has a bit of a good relationship with him. After all, Li Xin's sword, the green pheasant, is still the Chong family. The owner of the family, Xuantong, gave him a gift.

   Counting the time, after that old man left the capital in the first year of Taikang, he never returned to Beijing, and they hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years.

  Chong Heng came, Li Xin immediately changed into his regular clothes, and met this young master in the living room.

   After seeing Li Xin, Chongheng bowed his hands in a respectful manner: "Xiaguan Chongheng, I have seen Li Houye."

  Chong Heng is now the chief soldier of the Imperial City Army Corps. He should have been the fourth rank. Because of his family background, he mentioned the third rank, but the errand is still the errand of the chief soldier.

   This rank is already extremely prominent at the age of just turning 30, but in front of the somewhat unreasonable Marquis Jing'an, Chong Heng's rank is still not enough to be seen, so he behaves in a well-mannered manner.

  Li Xin pulled his sleeves and said with a smile, "What are you doing, Mr. Thong? Our two families have a good relationship, so we don't need to be courteous."

Zhong Heng nodded, and sat down on the chair in the living room with Li Xin's involvement, then he lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, I just received an imperial decree from the palace. Ordnance, sent to Yunzhou City..."

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Isn't this a good thing, I haven't been to Yunzhou City for a long time, I just happened to go and see old General Chong."

Chong Heng said with a smile: "It is indeed a good thing, but the imperial decree said that this batch of ordnance is to be taken from the Jing'an Hou's residence, and the people from the Yulin Wei Youying will be escorted. I feel a little guilty in my heart, Thinking about coming to the Houye's mansion to get things anyway, why don't you come to visit first, so as not to bring someone over tomorrow, it will be a bit abrupt."

   "Everything is on the street at the back door of my house. The Yulinwei people are still watching. Young Master Zhong will come over tomorrow and just go and collect it."

While the two were talking, the family of the Marquis of Jing'an had already served Chong Heng with tea, after the eldest Young Master Chong took a sip of tea, he hesitated and said, "To be honest, I have something to ask the Marquis. "

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "You just say it."

   "Then I'll just say it."

  Chongheng let out a sigh of relief and asked, "I read the list of the Ministry of War. The imperial court... suddenly sent so many things to Yunzhou. I don't know what the intention is...?"
