"General Gongsun, should the court send troops?" Li Yan asked, looking at Gongsun Changming sitting opposite him.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Li Yan summoned Gongsun Changming, the left general of Qianniu Guard. In the meeting between the important officials of the court, he used troops to Wei Bo and Tian Chengsi and recovered Zhaoyi in one fell swoop. The two towns of Wei Bo were directly under the jurisdiction of the court. In fact, there was a consensus, and even the Zhongshu Ling Wang Shu, who had always opposed the opinions, could only reserve the opinions, because the others fell to the ground and supported the dispatch of troops.

The danger of failure naturally exists, but compared with the huge benefits that can be obtained once victory, the danger is insignificant. As the important officials who are highly valued by the court, who would not want to be as powerful as in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

Life is very cowardly now. Although they are still at the peak of this era in terms of financial resources, for them, money can basically no longer become their highest pursuit.

Of course, in order to make the victory more confident, we must mobilize all possible forces. The Hedong soldiers led by Han Qi from Hedong are also powerful troops with many battles. If they can join in, their chances of victory will naturally increase.

But the problem is that the contradiction between Hedong and Wuwei has now surfaced. Wuwei Jiedu, Qianniuwei General, and the general of the Northland marching chief publicly wrote a letter to rebuke Han Qi and Li Cunzhong, and strongly opposed him to becoming Hedong Jiedu. It was precisely because of Li Ze's strong reaction that the court had to shelve this appointment.

For the court, if Han Qi was considered an arm, Wuwei Li Ze would definitely be a thigh.

Now that the court wants to use this arm, it certainly needs to give it some reward, but it cannot offend it. Therefore, this time Li Yan summoned Gongsun Changming alone.

Gongsun Changming is now the spokesperson for Li Ze in Luoyang, Chang'an, and he has a very deep relationship with Li Ze and his father Li Anguo. If he can gain the recognition of Gongsun Changming, then there will be no big problem for Li Ze.

Li Yan's impression of Gongsun Changming is quite good.

When Li Yan had just ascended the throne, the peasant uprising that swept the Tang Dynasty had just been suppressed. The entire empire could be said to be standing on a ruin, almost as if it had nothing. At this time, the Khitan Empire rose on the grassland, posing a great threat to the border of the Tang Empire. It was at this time that Zhang Zhongwu was ordered to serve as the governor of Lulong. At that time, Gongsun Changming resolutely abandoned the position of Qing officials in the court, a horse, a package, and a servant, and floated out of the pass and left Lulong.

After assisting Zhang Zhongwu for more than ten years, he defeated the Khitan and created a powerful Lulongjie Town. When Zhang Zhongwu showed his rebellious intention, Gongsun Changming was a man, horse and servant, and escaped from Lulong after thousands of hardships. For this person who is capable but does not obey and can be regarded as a loyal person to the Tang Dynasty. How could Li Yan not like or respect him?

A large part of his reassurance about Li Ze was due to Gongsun Changming's current work for Li Ze. If Li Ze wanted to rebel, Gongsun Changming would definitely not be accomplices of the tiger. Otherwise, he would not have escaped from Zhang Zhongwu at the beginning.

"Of course, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Gongsun Changming stroked his beard and said firmly. "The court cannot be punished without guilt. If you raise the flag of rebellion like Zhang Zhongwu and be ruthless, the court can launch a large army to destroy it, so that Lu Long can return to the court. However, other towns, indifferent to the sun, can't find any rebellious actions on the surface. It's really a fact that the army is Wuming. Now Tian Chengsi is catching up on the world and wants to annex Zhaoyi. This is the best excuse for the court. When will he not send troops at this time?"

Li Yan nodded repeatedly.

Gongsun Changming drew a big circle in the air: "Take Wei Bo and Zhaoyi and connect it with Wuwei Lulong and other places. How can there be room for resistance in other towns in the north? Your Majesty, the great stability of the north is in front of you, and the north is certain, how can the south fight against each other?"

"General Gongsun said it well." Hearing that Gongsun Changming's tone was exactly the same as Tian Lingzi and others, Li Yan was very convinced: "If the troops were sent, it would naturally be the general of Guide, Chen Bangzhao, as the commander. General Gongsun passed through the battlefield for a long time, do you think it is okay?"

"General Guide is a rare veteran in my Tang Dynasty court. He is naturally a very good candidate for his troops." Gongsun Changming smiled.

"But General Guide hopes that Hedong can send troops to help." Li Yan smiled and said, "If you say this, you will be sure to win. If you want Hedong to send troops to help, I am afraid that the position of Hedong Jiedushi must be given to Han Qi, otherwise he will be resentful and he will not be willing to help."

"Is this how?" Gongsun Changming pondered silently.

"Of course, if General Li can withdraw his powerful generals and lead his troops to help, Hedong soldiers, it would be fine." Li Yan retreated with advance.

"Your Majesty, Wuwei has fought for years and the soldiers have hardly recovered. If they force their troops to send troops, it will probably cause civil unrest." Gongsun Changming shook his head repeatedly and said.

"Since that's the case?"

"As long as Hedong is willing to send troops to help, I think Li Shuai will not care about giving Han Qi the position." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Li Shuai is dissatisfied with Han Qi, because when this person fought with Lu Long before, he shrank behind the rear and refused to send troops to help. He really disappointed Gao Shuai's wise and loyalty. Now he sent troops to Zhaoyi and attack Tian Chengsi, which is also considered to be a way for the court. As long as he did his best for the court, Li Shuai will naturally not make things difficult for him."

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It is a great blessing for the court to have Li Shuai such a country, and I am very lucky. General Gongsun and Shuai Li is so generous, the court naturally needs to make some statements. However, he is already a minister and is too young, so his parents are still there, so it is difficult to increase the title. However, Shuai Li just got a son, so he should add this grace to his son."

"The cradle child is already a seventh-rank official. With grace, it not only makes people gossip, but also makes his blessings." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shuai is loyal to the country. Last year, he gave the eight policies mentioned in the past, and he was led by the town. If he could do such a thing now, Li Shuai would only be happy. How could he need the court to commend it? The country's strength is what Li Shuai wished."

"Xue Ping's troops have been carefully trained by Lu Long, and Cheng Xu has made great contributions. This time Xue Ping made a comeback and hopes to lead his troops to Xingzhou to assist in the war. Does Li Shuai think it is okay?" Li Yan asked.

"Of course, Xue Ping's troops were originally affiliated with the imperial court's Shen Ce Army. If you participate in the war, you should be responsible." Gongsun Changming nodded in agreement.

Li Yan was in a great mood. Wuwei can now be said to be his biggest foreign aid. Now he has reached a comprehensive agreement with Wuwei, which has made him feel confident about the next battle.

He felt that he could now imagine the grand occasion of the revival of the Tang Dynasty.

Gongsun Changming, who returned to the Qianniu Guard General's Mansion, did not show the calmness and tranquility in the palace. Chen Bing, Qian Sheng, Tu Hu, and even Jin Mantang, who had just arrived in Chang'an, gathered here to discuss the possible impact this matter has on them.

"Mr. Jin, you have to start preparing. The funds from Chang'an, Luoyang and other places must be transferred one after another, and as much as possible to transfer to Wuwei. If you really can't transfer, you must go to the south with more certainty." Gongsun Changming looked at Jin Mantang and said, "Loyal people should also make arrangements early. Once things go wrong, you can get out immediately."

Jin Mantang was puzzled: "Mr. Gongsun, it seems that Wei Bo will inevitably be attacked several times. The court and Hedong have a total of 150,000 troops. In addition, Yang Zhihe, the troops in Xingzhou of Zhaoyi, received the support of Xue Ping, and have stabilized their positions. The situation should be very good. Once the court recovers Wei Bo Zhaoyi, the world will be as stable as Mount Tai. Why is Mr. Gongsun so worried?"

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it." Gongsun Changming shook his head and said, "The current situation is unpredictable. If it continues like this, Wei Bo is naturally not afraid, but I don't believe that other ambitious Jieshi Town will sit idly and watch the court defeat Wei Bo. You know, the eight suggestions of Jieshi Shuai had long been leaked by those who are interested. Among them, Jieshi Town has touched the nerves of many people. If the court defeats Wei Bo, takes back Zhaoyi, and connects with Wuwei, Jieshi Town will no longer be verbal words but can be put into reality. Do you think those Jieshi Town will be willing to hand over the power obediently?"

"Of course not." Chen Bing said: "Take me in the past, I was just a small guard who was busy waiting to die every day, but now I have become a general with the young master. If anyone wants to knock me back to my original form, I will naturally have to fight for a while to see if I can maintain my current status. I don't want to go back and be a little person who is nothing, anyone can kick me twice!"

"The words are rough or not, this is the principle." Gongsun Changming said: "Why are he willing to let him give up all this if you have tasted the taste of Lide? So this war is definitely not as easy as imagined? Even if you accidentally turn into another turmoil that swept the whole country, we must do the preparations in advance. To slaughter the tiger, you and Mr. Jin will be responsible for the funds, material arrangements and manual arrangements on the secret lines."

"Yes." Tuhu, Jin Mantang and the others nodded.

"Chen Bing, Chu Sheng, let the two of you have military affairs. Remember, the five thousand Niu Wei, but we have a small matter for the most money we have. Old lady, madam, young master, no matter who makes a mistake, what are we going to meet Jieshuai?"

Everyone in the house was shocked.
