Chapter 236 I will return with thousands of horses and troops (46)
The uncle and nephew held candlelight talks at night. What Jiang Qian was most worried about was that he would not be able to gather 10,000 elite soldiers in a while.
After all, Da Qi is a powerful country that has lasted for hundreds of years. Although it has declined slightly, it is still an unshakable power for a country like Liang that was destroyed and rebuilt.
Emperor Liang said that Da Qi was harboring the remnants of the Turks, but there was no evidence. Just raising troops to attack them would easily cause dissatisfaction and fear in other countries.
But Emperor Liang was so happy that it took more than a day or two.
Especially now that the Turkic Kingdom has been destroyed by the Liang Kingdom, all the wealth left by the Turkic royal family has been confiscated from the national treasury.
Now that the treasury is full, Emperor Liang is ambitious and naturally wants to attack neighboring countries.
It happened to take this opportunity to destroy Jiang Tang's prestige. Even if the troops were sent unfavorably, there would be a high-sounding reason to stall other countries and teach Jiang Tang a lesson.
If Jiang Tang had the ability to inflict a heavy blow on Da Qi, it would increase the prestige of Liang Guo even more.
On balance, no matter what he did, it would be beneficial to Emperor Liang, so no one in the court would dissuade him.
Jiang Qian had been absent from the court for many years, and Jiang Tang had been fighting abroad all year round. In the entire officialdom, no one wanted to make friends with the Jiang family.
Even though Jiang Tang was the hussar general of the dynasty.
The next day at court, Emperor Liang announced the dispatch of troops.
"Do you have any objections to your love?"
Everyone glanced at Jiang Tang quietly and lowered their heads.
Who dares to object?
What Your Majesty has decided is just a formality today. Whoever speaks out now is going to be on the edge of the sword and seeking death.
Everyone leaned over.
"My lord, I have no objection."
"I feel that this matter is inappropriate."
In unanimous agreement without objection, a clear voice sounded, and thunder exploded on the ground.
Everyone was in an uproar and looked towards the source of the sound. After seeing the speaker, I was even more surprised for a moment.
Yongle Marquis, Changsun Yuchao.
He actually stood up to oppose His Majesty's decision? !
Isn't this a notoriously idle prince? When did he express his opinions in court?
Over the past few years, all the ministers have regarded him as transparent. Even the eunuchs responsible for collecting memorials have automatically ignored Changsun Yuchao, because this marquis never submitted memorials and never paid attention to the political affairs of the court.
Today, what kind of madness is this?
He actually chose to come out and play devil’s advocate at this point?
Everyone looked at their noses and mouths and remained silent, waiting for His Majesty's reaction.
Emperor Liang looked down at Changsun Yuchao. The long bead curtain covered his face, which naturally also covered the bone-chilling chill in his eyes.
"Oh, Marquis Yongle thinks my decision is inappropriate?"
Jiang Tang lowered his eyes.
He was thinking about Chang Sun Yuchao's thoughts.
Speaking for her at this time would add fuel to the fire for her. Emperor Liang had already suspected the relationship between the two of them, and it was for this reason that he asked Jiang Tang to lead the troops.
Now that Changsun Yuchao has come out to object again, it will only increase the doubts in Emperor Liang's heart and make Jiang Tang's situation even more difficult.
Therefore, Jiang Tang remained silent, waiting for Zhang Sun Yuchao's answer.
Everyone was waiting for Chang Sun Yuchao's next words.
"I believe that if we raise an army, the first choice place to attack should not be the border of Daqi, but the wilderness area in the north of Daqi. That area is remote and sparsely populated. It is the iron smelting land of Daqi. Although it is heavily guarded, compared with the border, it is not The defensive line there is relatively weak, and it is very close to Qicheng, the granary of Daliang. In this way, the food and grass are guaranteed and the defensive line is weak, I, Daliang, can definitely give Qi a decisive blow. "
It turned out not to be a dissuasion, but a suggestion.
Emperor Liang was silent for a while, his expression dark and unclear under the bead curtain.
