Chapter 2059: Strategies Against An Yaluoshan!

In the hands of Zhang Shougui, although the Youzhou Army also ignored the law and made coins privately, they still had some scruples after all, and they had to keep it secretive on the surface, and they always had restraint and did not dare to go too far to avoid impeachment by the censor.

But in the hands of An Yaluoshan, he was completely unscrupulous.

Not only that, according to the news from the imperial guard, the Youzhou Army was recruiting troops in the northeast, not only recruiting Youzhou soldiers, but also recruiting Hu people, Yiju people, Xi people and Khitan people from the border areas.

In Youzhou now, An Yaluoshan has gathered 400,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but on the surface, he still claims to the court that there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In addition, An Yaluoshan also secretly manufactures weapons in Youzhou. As of now, there are already twelve large armories, and each armory is surrounded by large troops guarding them. They are stacked on top of each other and outsiders cannot easily approach them.

In order to collect this information, several imperial guards have died.

Up to now, An Yaluoshan is still purchasing steel from various countries, including inland, and its scale is dozens of times larger than before, which has far exceeded normal demand.

With all the signs combined, this is already an obvious reversal!

"Your Majesty, is An Yaluoshan still unwilling to enter the capital?"

At this time, in the main hall, the old master spoke.

His brows furrowed slightly, thoughtfully. An Yaluoshan was the Protector of the Northeast and an important minister of the empire, and had made two great achievements in succession. Until the matter was settled and there was further evidence, the old master still held a very cautious attitude.

"Um!"

Hearing the words of the old master, Li Heng looked slightly cold, and a cold look passed between his eyebrows:

"This rebellious official and traitor used Goguryeo as an excuse to refuse to enter the capital. Moreover, he had made great achievements before. Even I can't do anything about him!"

At the end of the sentence, Li Heng's eyes showed a look of hatred and anger.

On the day of the new Emperor Li Heng's accession to the throne, almost all the important ministers from the entire empire gathered in the capital to celebrate this important moment. Only the Goguryeo Empire existed to the east of Mount Angaluo, and they refused to enter the capital on the grounds that they needed to guard against Goguryeo. .

Even if Li Heng knew that An Yaluoshan was rebellious and knew that he framed Zhang Shougui, as long as An Yaluoshan always retreated to Youzhou and used Yuan Gaisuwen and Goguryeo as an excuse, even if Li Heng wanted to deal with him, he would have no choice. method.

"Your Majesty, I think you don't need to be polite to An Yaluoshan. His position as the Protector of Anton was born improperly. Instead of letting him become powerful in Youzhou and becoming a nuisance to the empire, it is better to take the initiative and take advantage of him. He is still a fledgling, and before he is completely ready, defeat him completely to avoid the danger of raising a tiger!"

A loud and masculine voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Zhangchou Jianqiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, first stepped forward and saluted Li Heng in the hall, then raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said decisively.

Zhangchou Jianqiong is known as the Imperial Tiger. Although he entered the court and the capital, he was very cautious in various court disputes and political events, and never dared to say more to avoid making any remarks, but in military terms, this Imperial Tiger We have always been aggressive and proactive in attacking, completely defeating our opponents on the frontal battlefield.

Attack is the best defense!

This is the belief shared by the generals of the Holy Emperor generation!

And Zhangchou Jianqiong is even more so!

"No! An Yaluoshan wants to be eliminated, but not in this way!"

At this time, another voice sounded, the voice was old and mellow, revealing a profound knowledge. Not far away, an old man with gray hair on his temples also frowned and spoke:

"An Yaluoshan is a rebellious minister and a traitor. He harbors evil intentions, so he can do this unscrupulously. However, your Majesty is a benevolent and holy king, but you cannot do this. As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation.

Even if His Majesty wants to deal with An Yaluoshan, he cannot attack so hastily! "

"No matter who An Yaluoshan is, don't forget that to the people of the world, he is the rising general of the Tang Dynasty, the guardian of the Northeast, who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and his position as the Great Protector of Anton is also The late emperor personally conferred the title, if he rashly attacks Youzhou and kills such a 'hero of the empire', I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the world!"

"This matter needs long-term consideration!"

Hearing the old master's words, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Regardless of whether they are the old master or the old master, they are both highly respected people and have great influence among the ministers. More importantly, the words of the two are fair words, and they are not necessarily speaking for themselves. An Yaluoshan spoke.

Especially the last words of the old master, Zhangchou Jianqiong, who listened to the most radical words, couldn't help but look stunned and showed a hesitant look.

An Yaluoshan is insidious and cunning, but his position as the Protector of Anton was conferred by the Holy Emperor. This is a fact known to everyone in the world!

Li Heng had just ascended the throne and inherited the throne, and if he attacked the generals of the empire who were personally conferred by the Holy Emperor, he would probably be accused by the people of the world, thinking that Li Heng was being unfilial by despising the Holy Emperor.

The Tang Dynasty governed the country with force, but at the same time it also governed with benevolence and filial piety. If benevolence and filial piety were lost, it would be equivalent to losing the legitimacy of inheriting the throne!

This is something Li Heng has to worry about.

"King of Foreign Land, what do you think?"

Just when everyone was frowning and worried, Li Heng suddenly spoke, but he looked at Wang Chong opposite.

One sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, even the old master and the old master.

Wang Chong was a hero of the Tang Dynasty, the number one figure in the military, and a highly valued minister of the late emperor. He was also close friends with the current new emperor Li Heng.

There is no doubt that his opinions have huge influence both inside and outside the government, and are likely to directly set the tone for Youzhou and An Yaluoshan!

Even the old master and the old master cannot ignore this!

"The old master and the old master are not unreasonable!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong raised his head and glanced at Li Heng. His first sentence was that he agreed with the opinions of the Grand Master and the Grand Tutor:

"But when it comes to dealing with An Yaluoshan, there is no need to make it so troublesome and expose His Majesty to injustice!"

The old master and the old master originally thought that Wang Chong was on their side, but when they heard Wang Chong's last words, they were stunned. They didn't know what Wang Chong wanted to express.

Wang Chong didn't show off. His expression was calm, as if he knew what everyone was thinking, and he continued:

"Since An Gaesun is using Yuengaisuwen and Goguryeo as shields to deal with His Majesty, His Majesty only needs to seize this point and publicly declare that Yuengaisuwen and Goguryeo are disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is preparing to attack the Goguryeo Empire. When the time comes, we can pretend to attack Guo, gather a large army, and send troops to Youzhou!"

Upon hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone in the hall was stunned, but King Song and Zhangchou Jianqiong showed a smile.

They knew that Wang Chong must have a solution!

good!

If there is no way to attack An Yaluoshan directly, then send troops to Youzhou, also using Goguryeo as an excuse!

On the other side, Wang Chong's voice continued to ring in everyone's ears:

"Your Majesty's troops are sent to Youzhou. At that time, An Yaluoshan will have only two choices. The first is to obey Your Majesty and directly write to the court, saying that the Youzhou soldiers are willing to fully cooperate with Your Majesty and find ways to deceive him. As long as Your Majesty can't find anything to do with him, he will Still can’t do anything to him.”

Wang Chong's eyes are profound and extremely wise, giving people the feeling that he has seen through everything:

"However, An Yaluoshan secretly minted coins, recruited soldiers and horses on a large scale, and had a large number of weapons in the armory. He could hide one or two people, but how could he hide thousands of troops? In addition, those hundreds of thousands How to hide the weapons of conspiracy?"

"As long as your Majesty finds one or two of these things, An Yaluoshan will be punished by death!"

The hall was quiet, everyone was looking at Wang Chong.

Everyone knew it well, and looking at Wang Chong's expression, he was afraid that he had already thought through everything, before and after.

With his ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away, Wang Chong is known as the new generation of God of War, and his reputation is not in vain!

"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of troops have marched into Youzhou, and there is no place to hide in the entire Youzhou. No matter what secrets Anjaluo Mountain has, it is impossible to hide it, and the surrounding Western Turkic Khanate, Xi, Khitan, and Goguryeo The empire will never allow him to put such a huge number of troops within its territory, and Anjaluoshan will never take such a big risk, so he must rebel!"

When he said the last sentence, a cold light as sharp as a sword flashed across Wang Chong's eyes:

"And if An Yaluoshan rebels, your Majesty will no longer need to be polite to him!"

The hall was quiet, and everyone was immersed in what Wang Chong had just said. Even the old master and the old master had to admit that Wang Chong's method was simple but extremely effective.

No matter whether An Yaluoshan advances or retreats, he will eventually fall into an extremely passive situation with no way to escape.

"Master Taifu, what do you think?"

In the main hall, Li Heng suddenly spoke.

"This..., although I still feel that something is not appropriate, but if, as His Majesty said, An Yaluo Mountain does have objections, the strategy mentioned by the King of Foreign Lands may be a solution."

The old master pondered for a moment and rarely agreed with Wang Chong's method.

On the other side, the old master also nodded.

The old master is now considered a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and with the fall of the Holy Emperor, the old master has grown older and has put aside many things, and his relationship with Wang Chong is no longer as hostile as before.

"What about the rest?"

Li Heng looked at the other people in the hall again.

"An Yaluoshan dared to steal the dragon energy of the Tang Dynasty, which is really a heinous crime. I agree with the strategy of the foreign king and am willing to be the vanguard!"

"Wei Chen has no objection. As long as His Majesty gives the order, Wei Chen is willing to lead the army there!"

"Tongluo Cavalry is willing to obey His Majesty's orders!"

"We are willing to assist Your Majesty and do our best to put down the rebellion in Youzhou!"

In the main hall, everyone said.

"very good!"

Li Heng nodded, with a frightening light bursting out of his eyes:

"Master Taifu, please immediately summon the people to draft a memorandum for me to attack Yeon Gaesumun and the Goguryeo Empire!"

In just a moment, Li Heng made a decision, showing a resolute and decisive demeanor of a wise king.
