Seven years of martial virtue.

The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and Li Hongyun's perspective first appeared high in the sky.

In the northern frontier, the Turks are ready to move again.

After the Liang Dynasty initially pacified the country, the Turks changed their strategy of supporting separatist forces and continuing to create divisions in the Central Plains, and instead ended up directly.

Beginning in the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan led more than 100,000 cavalry to the south to plunder.

In Li Hongyun's view, there is no big difference between such border troubles and the Jin invasions faced by the Qi Dynasty. In terms of military strength and national power, the Turks who were at their peak at this time were not the same as the Jin people during the Jingping Revolution, except during the Qi Dynasty.

Apart from being inferior in metal smelting, weapons and armor forging, their combat power is equally powerful.

But every time people think of the Liang Dynasty, they never think of the Turks as a powerful opponent.

Even though this is a huge force that "controls millions of people".

Li Hongyun looked down from a high altitude and had a panoramic view of the land east of the river.

However, this time, the Turks did not continue to go to the east of Hedong to fight against Taiyuan as before. Instead, they directly took a detour to Guanzhong and drove all the way straight to the city of Bin (bin1)!

This situation is very similar to the Jingping Incident in the Qi Dynasty.

The Turks were a mobile force with all cavalry, and their strength was superior. They could bypass the fortified city and directly reach the key areas of the Liang Dynasty.

Apparently, Jieli Khan decided to change his mind this time after failing to gain any advantage when he invaded Hedong twice before, and wanted to attack Chang'an directly.

The camera quickly zoomed towards Chang'an City in the south, and at the same time, the altitude continued to decrease.

The magnificent Chang'an City is already in sight.

It's just that at this time, there was continuous heavy rain falling over Chang'an City. Sometimes it was a torrential rain, with lightning and thunder, and sometimes it was pattering, and the rain was like numb feet.

This kind of rain will continue for a long time.

The camera continued to pull down and soon came to the Liang Dynasty Palace.

Liang Gaozu was sitting on the throne, with several ministers below him.

The prince, the four sons of Liang Gaozu, King Qi, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Yu Wenshi and others all gathered together.

Among them, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Yu Wenshi, etc. were all important officials in the court, and they played a crucial decisive role in the Liang Dynasty's major policies at this time.

Not to mention the prince and the king of Qi, their opinions carry more weight.

Liang Gaozu listened to the patter of rain outside the main hall, and the irritability on his face was clearly revealed.

"The Turks have already reached Binzhou!

"You know these barbarians and traitors don't keep their word! Our government just signed a peace treaty with them in November last year, and established an additional farm in Bingzhou. However, only a few months later, they actually changed to Guanzhong.

Called again!

"Chang'an is in imminent danger. Do you have any good plans?"

Binzhou is an ancient place name, located in the upper reaches of the Jing River. It is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an City. It can be regarded as the northern gateway of Chang'an and can be reached directly along the Jing River Valley.

Obviously, after finding that there was nothing he could do about the fortified city of Taiyuan, Jieli Khan planned to lead the Turks to do something big: attack Chang'an directly and rob the most prosperous capital of the Liang Dynasty.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Turks are powerful, so we can send King Qin to fight back the enemy."

As an important minister and counselor, Xiao Yu felt a little blushing when he said such words.

Yes, besides letting King Qin fight, what else can we do?

Since the Turks began to invade many times in the fifth year of Wude, which time did the Turks not retreat after the King of Qin sent troops after receiving the news?

However, Liang Gaozu was noncommittal and did not adopt Xiao Yu's suggestion immediately.

Why doesn't he know that King Qin is useful?

However, at this time, the conflict between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince had intensified, and even he, the emperor, could clearly feel the threat of the King of Qin.

The master of great power shocks the master, and there is no seal for him.

Therefore, during the previous repeated attacks by the Turks, Liang Gaozu was absolutely unwilling to let the King of Qin take action unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because the King of Qin had made military exploits again, the prince was already a little unable to withstand the situation even when the emperor kept trying to sidestep him.

Liang Gaozu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Some people have suggested that the reason why the Turks repeatedly invaded Guanzhong is because their children, treasures, and silk are all in Chang'an.

"In this case, if Chang'an is burned down and Chang'an is no longer used as the capital, then the barbarian bandits will cease on their own.

"I think what I said makes sense, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't believe his ears.

What did the emperor just say?

The Turks invaded repeatedly because Chang'an had "children's treasures"? So as long as Chang'an is burned down and Chang'an is no longer the capital, the Turks will not attack again?

What a fucked up brain circuit this is...

A rich man is always robbed while walking at night, and his reaction is that as long as I throw all my money in the water, I won't be robbed?

As a normal person with a clear mind, Xiao Yu's first reaction was of course to dissuade him.

However, the strange atmosphere in the hall made his desire for survival quietly take over, and he did not speak immediately.

After everyone was silent for a moment, the prince spoke.

"Reporting to my father, I think this plan is feasible.

"Chang'an hangs on the sword of the Turks. Every early autumn, the Turks can go south along the Jinghe River Valley. Whether they go through Taiyuan or Binzhou, they will be in serious trouble.

"If we move the capital southward, the Turks will no longer be able to target Chang'an, and our government will be able to rest easy."

King Qi also nodded: "Father, my son and ministers also agree with this plan."

Pei Ji was silent for a moment: "If your Majesty has made a decision, you should implement it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

Liang Gaozu was very happy: "Well, very good, it seems that the ministers have the same idea as me.

"That being the case.

"Yu Wen Aiqing, as you are the minister of Zhongshu, I will cross the Nanshan Mountains for me to inspect Fan and Deng areas. If there is a habitable place, we will move the capital there."

The so-called Fan and Deng refer to the ruins of the ancient Fan and Deng states. They are also the Xiangyang area in later generations.

This has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. To the northwest, you can enter Guanzhong via Wuguan. To the east is the Huaihe River. It is the most crucial place in the entire Jianghuai defense line and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Geographically speaking, this is indeed an excellent barrier against the northern nomads.

When Emperor Gaozong of Qi just crossed south, Li Gang regarded this place as one of the ideal locations for the capital. Later, the reason why the Qi Dynasty was able to resist the Northern Barbarians for decades was also due to the defense line of Xiangyang and the Huaihe River.

The only problem with it is...

Too far south.

What's more, during the Liang Dynasty, the entire economic center of China had not moved southward, and the economic conditions in the north were still higher than those in the south.

Although the Guanzhong Plain is small in area, it is fertile and wild and is still the most prosperous and prosperous area at that time.

Moreover, the economic level of Hedong and Hebei is also higher than that of the south.

The two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang can connect Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei, Sichuan, Shu, Nanfang and other places. At that time, regardless of their geographical location or dangerous terrain, they were the best choices for building a capital.

If we move south to the Fan and Deng area, it will certainly be better geographically, but its control over areas such as Guanzhong, Hedong, and Hebei will be significantly reduced.

In other words, it is basically equivalent to throwing these precious lands to the Turks.

Xiao Yu was completely lost in the lake.

He couldn't understand why these people all agreed to this plan.

Not to mention burning Chang'an, what will the people of Chang'an City do? Even if all the people can be moved away, what about other cities and villages besides Chang'an?

Without Chang'an, wouldn't the Turks be able to rob other places?

The only advantage of moving to the Fan and Deng area is that the ruling class headed by Liang Gaozong and the prince can rest more peacefully, because it is almost impossible for the Turks to attack that place.

As for Guanzhong, Hebei, and Hedong, the Turks are raging...

Apparently, they planned to bury their heads in the sand and act like ostriches, pretending not to see.

Although Xiao Yu deeply disagreed with this ridiculous plan, he didn't dare to speak when he saw that the prince, King Qi and other important officials did not object.

After all, Liang Gaozu was not a broad-minded emperor.

Li Hongyun, who watched all this from God's perspective, almost suffered from high blood pressure.

If he hadn't known it in advance, he almost thought he was holding Qi Chao's script.

When the northern barbarians moved south, the ruling class's response was to move the capital...

This sense of déjà vu is a bit too strong.

Is the Qi Dynasty orthodox in Liang Gaozu?

Just when it seemed that such a nonsense plan to move the capital was really going to be implemented, hurried footsteps came from outside the palace.

King Qin came forward with long strides, his body was soaked by the rain.

"Father, the capital cannot be moved!
To be continued...
