Chapter 257
"Your Majesty, the Bohai Kingdom is next to the Andong Protectorate. When I had not surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I did not really raise troops to the Tang Dynasty. Why did I just surrendered for two years now and then I just betrayed my faith and launched troops to attack the Tang Dynasty? It is impossible that there is no reason for this." Yang Guozhong was very tempted.
"What's the reason?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was suddenly lured in the direction that Yang Guozhong had imagined.
This Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who was once known as the emperor of the ages during the Kaiyuan period, lived in the prosperous era he thought, and had been almost ignored for more than ten years of enjoyment in the deep palace. Today, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had long lost any sage spirit that was known as the emperor of the ages.
"Someone privately told me that Li Fei was too harsh on foreign races in Anton, and often insulted the people of the Bohai people, and even the King of Bohai, which damaged his relationship with the Bohai Kingdom, or the King of Bohai was angry and raised troops on our Tang Dynasty." Yang Guozhong began to splash water on Li Fei's body.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang frowned, as if there was no other reason besides this.
When Li Fei had not gone to Andong before, the Bohai Kingdom did not surrender to the Tang Dynasty, nor did he directly raise troops to the Tang Dynasty. Why did Li Fei just go to Andong for a year? The Bohai Kingdom did not even write a letter of war and directly provoke the war.
"Li Fei, you have let down my trust in you!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said in anger.
Yang Guozhong laughed secretly. Hearing Tang Xuanzong's tone, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He estimated that Li Fei might not even be able to protect the marquis this time, and he might be directly cut into a "brother". The most important thing is to make Tang Xuanzong completely dislike Li Fei and think Li Fei from the bottom of his heart, so it would be much easier for him to calculate next.
Humph, Li Fei is a yellow-haired boy. If he hadn't brought Li Fei to Chang'an City from Xunyang County, there would have been Li Fei today. But after Li Fei became rich, he not only did not be grateful to him, but instead repeatedly went against him. He would lose his face. If he didn't completely knock Li Fei down, he would not relieve his hatred!
When Yang Guozhong met Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in the back hall first and poured dirty water on Li Fei, Ji Sui also found Lin Siming outside the palace.
"Who is Lin Siming, Lord Lin?" Ji Suo didn't avoid it and asked in front of hundreds of officials.
"I am." Lin Siming's eyes lit up, thinking that Li Fei might have told him something.
"Mr. Lin, this is what the governor asked his subordinates to give to you." Ji Chong handed over a letter from Li Fei to Lin Siming.
Lin Siming nodded, took the letter and took a look.
There are many words in the letter, but ninety percent of them are useless things, and those who cannot understand will never understand them. Lin Siming combined them into a line of words from the letter, "With all means within three days, do not give Lushan Army a chance to enter Anton."
Although Li Fei also sent Ji Su to Chang'an City and sent troops to Gewuzhou City to fight against the Bohai Army, Li Fei was not sure how many days he would defeat the Bohai Army, so he also deployed his father-in-law Lin Siming as a backup plan.
Lin Siming was valued by Li Linfu, and there was no doubt that Lin Siming had his own extraordinary talents. When Li Fei left Chang'an City, Lin Siming was already a fifth-rank official in the Tongzhengsi. In a year, Lin Siming was promoted to the level with himself. Last time Li Fei attacked the Khitan Chifeng royal city, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not give Li Fei any substantial rewards for some reasons, but he recorded part of it on Lin Siming, and promoted Lin Siming one level with his decision. Now Lin Siming is already a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Works, and has a certain influence. At least it is okay to say a few words in the court.
Seeing the meaning expressed in Li Feixin, Lin Siming suddenly felt shocked and instantly imagined the turbulent waves in the whole thing.
With Yang Guozhong's plans in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Li Fei's plans through his father-in-law Lin Siming, of course, the plans of An Lushan's officials he bought were also indispensable.
Two officials who were secretly bribed by An Lushan also got together before Emperor Xuanzong of Tang summoned all the officials.
The so-called taking money and eliminating disasters, and they are very particular about An Lushan's future.
"All officials enter the palace!"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang began to discuss the Bohai Kingdom's military affairs in the Golden Palace with suppressed anger.
"The Bohai Kingdom has launched 80,000 troops to invade the Andong Protectorate of our Tang Dynasty. What are the strategies for facing the enemy?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Bohai Kingdom has raised 80,000 troops. It is obviously impossible to resist only by relying on the power of the Anton Protectorate. We should try to mobilize troops into Anton to fight the Bohai Kingdom's army and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty." One of the officials who were bribed by An Lushan stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I will discuss that in order to fight against the heavy troops of the Bohai Kingdom, other Tang troops should be dispatched to Andong--" Several consecutive officials came forward to discuss, most of them were bought by An Lushan, and some of them just expressed their ideas.
Obviously, no one thinks that the Anton Protectorate has the ability to face the 80,000 troops of the Bohai Kingdom on its own. After all, in the eyes of everyone, the Anton Protectorate has always been a representative of weak soldiers among the border governors of the Tang Dynasty. It is still possible to defend against the attacks of up to 80,000 troops of the enemy. It is obviously unlikely. Inevitably,
It seems inevitable to mobilize other troops into the Andong Protectorate to fight against the Bohai Kingdom, because even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang thought so.
"Who should we transfer troops to Andong, and who should preside over the battle?" asked Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
At this moment, Andong and Li Fei were the governors, but Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had already removed Li Fei from the words. Even if other troops were transferred to Andong, he had never thought of handing over to Li Fei for command. Not only would he not let Li Fei command, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had even thought about the punishment for Li Fei in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Dongping County Prince is strong and powerful. Last year, he pacified the Xi tribe and the Khitan tribe. There is no war. The army under the Dongping County Prince can be transferred to Andong to meet the enemy. Moreover, the Dongping County Prince has been fighting for many years, and no one is more suitable to command troops than the Dongping County Prince." The official who was still bribed by An Lushan spoke to An Lushan.
"Lushan is a good person, and he is a minister of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, it will be troubled by Lushan." Speaking of An Lushan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's obvious face softened a lot, and he also felt that An Lushan could be used more.
However, Yang Guozhong frowned slightly. It seemed that the only choice to transfer the army under An Lushan's command into Anton seemed to be the only choice, but it was still handed over to An Lushan's command. After the war, wouldn't Anton's Protectorate become An Lushan's territory? Although he wanted to defeat Li Fei, he did not want An Lushan's power to expand further, which would be difficult to deal with in the future. However, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had already said that, and Yang Guozhong did not expect a suitable candidate to replace An Lushan for a while, so he had to remain silent.
After all, An Lushan is just a brave but unscrupulous man. He always knocks Li Fei down and then deals with An Lushan.
"So——" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang immediately wanted to make sure that An Lushan led his army into Andong to fight the invading Bohai Army.
At this time, Lin Siming could not continue to stay out of the matter, so he stood up.
