Chapter 1045
Gao Yihuan frowned slightly when he heard the words, "It is true that we have been preparing for the North Korea issue for a long time, but the Western Regions issue is also urgent."

Chen Mingxia said: "Your Majesty, since the Tang Dynasty, the Northwest has withered, and the threats to the Central Plains have mostly come from the Northeast. It is far easier for the northern Barbarians to advance from the Northeast to the Central Plains and Jiangnan than from the Northwest. I think that compared with the Raksha people , Hauge is the threat to Wei, Your Majesty should destroy Hauge first!"

Before the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong was rich and the nomads invaded the south. They could attack and get supplies at the same time, but after that, the situation changed, and the threat from the Central Plains began to change, gradually shifting from the north to the northeast.

The Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Manchus entered the customs. They all advanced from the northeast to the Central Plains. Although the Meng Yuan rose from the grasslands, he also captured the northeast of the Jin Kingdom first, and then entered the customs to destroy the Jin.

From this point of view, the Han barbarians rising in the northeast are indeed a threat to the Central Plains, and we should be vigilant.

Gao Yihuan fell into deep thought, and Chen Mingxia continued: "Your Majesty, besides, there is a small population in the north. There are no tenants to plant the land of military households, which hurts morale. Taking North Korea will not only eliminate the hidden danger of Hauge, but also solve the problem of tenants. Therefore, the minister I thought North Korea should be conquered first."

Although Gao Yihuan encouraged childbirth and the population of Wei State also increased, the newly increased population could not yet become a labor force.

In the past two years, Gao Yihuan launched the Unification War. During the war, a large number of soldiers gained military merit and were given military land, but there was a lack of personnel to cultivate it. This really affected the morale of the army and made the nobles somewhat dissatisfied.

Gao Yihuan glanced at several ministers and asked, "What do gentlemen think?"

Li Yan, Liang Yizhang and others discussed a few words, and Liang Yizhang said politely: "Your Majesty, Chen Gebu is right. In the long run, Hauge is indeed a threat to our court, but judging from the current situation, Hauge is on the defensive." The posture, the threat to our Great Wei is actually not great, but the Raksha people gathered Zhungeer, raised more than [-] troops, and directly attacked the territory of the Great Wei, the threat to our Great Wei is obviously greater. Now North Korea is slow, while the Western Regions are in a hurry. I think you should send troops to the Western Regions first."

"Your Majesty, Hauge was defeated in last year's battle. Now is the best time for us to wipe out Hauge. If we delay, Hauge will regain his vitality. Be prepared, it will not be easy to take North Korea!" Chen Mingxia continued to insist : "Besides, the imperial court's materials and troops have already been transferred to Liaodong, and if they change course now, it will undoubtedly waste huge resources."

Gao Yihuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Yan, "Mr. Li is the chief assistant, what do you think?"

Li Yan stood up and did not answer directly, but told a story, "Your Majesty, when I was studying history books, I saw such a story. The man named Geng Gong was Captain Wuji. The following year, the Northern Xiongnu Shanyu sent [-] elite troops to attack Che Shi, killed the king of Che Shi, and then attacked Geng Gong's garrison where hundreds of people were stationed, besieging him in the city. At this time, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty died and had no time to send troops. Rescue was not available. Che Shiguo betrayed the Han Dynasty and joined forces with the Xiongnu to attack Geng Gong. The Han soldiers ran out of food and were in trouble. The Xiongnu surrendered, stick to the city."

Gao Yihuan was also a student. When he heard this, he knew that Li Yan was talking about the allusion of the thirteen heroes returning to Yumen, and he also understood Li Yan's meaning. However, he did not interrupt, but let Li Yan continue.

Li Yan narrated unhurriedly: "Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty only learned of Geng Gong's request for help after he ascended the throne. At this time, several months had passed since the Northern Huns attacked. Wan Yuanjun rescued hundreds of defenders who did not know how to live or die. The cost was huge, and the gains outweighed the losses. Only Situ Baoyu stood up and tried his best to ask for reinforcements. Facing Emperor Zhang and all the civil and military officials, he said a sentence, and the minister read it, I still feel it, and it’s still soul-stirring.”

Gao Yihuan cooperated and said: "Which sentence is it, Mr. Li said it to me and the gentlemen!"

Li Yan coughed lightly, raised his arms and said in a loud voice: "If people are in a dangerous place, they should be abandoned in a hurry. On the outside, the violence of the barbarians will be unleashed, and on the inside, the ministers will be injured. If we don't save them at this time, the Xiongnu will re-offend the frontier As a bandit, what will His Majesty do for you?"

"Emperor Zhang was moved and sent troops to rescue and defeat the Huns. In the end, more than 13 reinforcements successfully rescued Geng Gong. Gong and other [-] people returned to Yumen with the Han army, leaving behind a story." Li Yan saluted Gao Yihuan, "Your Majesty, People say that the former Han was prosperous and the later Han was weak, but the weak later Han made the barbarians in the north dare not peep, and kept the territory of the Western Regions, because the Han people never condoned the atrocities of the barbarians, and never hurt the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals. Today Three thousand soldiers of my Great Wei were besieged in Suiye City. The Great Wei sent an army of more than [-], and spent countless rations and money to rescue them. From the book, it is indeed not as cost-effective as fighting North Korea, but I think that the account cannot be calculated like this. Da Wei Wei ordered the soldiers to guard the border, but ignored them when they were in danger. Who will serve Wei in the future? Therefore, I thought that we must save the heroes of Wei!"

Gao Yihuan stood up, his blood boiled by Li Yan's words, "Okay, what Mr. Li said is good. Pass on my will, send troops to the Western Regions, and rescue Suiye!"

~~~~~~
Broken Leaf City.

The scorched and ruined walls still stand in the cold wind, and the half-burned Wei flag on the top of the city is still hunting in the cold wind, making people worry that the remnant flag will be suddenly torn to pieces by the wind.

Outside the dilapidated Suiye City, it was already surrounded by companies of Rakshas and Mongols.

Looking down from the sky, around the city, there is a pile of military tents like tombs, which are hard to count.

In November, the cold wind blew from Siberia, and the densely packed soldiers in the camp passed through without being affected by the weather.

For the Rakshasa and Mongols, such weather can only be considered normal.

At this time, in a large tent in the camp, a stove was set up in the middle of the tent. Marshal Morozov of Tsarist Russia sat around the fire with Seng Ge and others to discuss military situations. aside.

Seng Ge moved the flint with a wooden stick, and said in his mouth: "Marshal Morozov, the noble army of Suiye City has not yet captured, once the Wei army comes to help, what should we do?"

After hearing what the translator said, Morozov smiled contemptuously and said, "Wei people are all cowards. It is impossible for them to send troops to travel thousands of miles for a small city. Don't worry too much, Your Excellency!"

Seng Ge continued to pull the fire with a stick, worried: "Marshal should not underestimate Wei Jun, and with Gao Yihuan's character, he will definitely not sit idly by and we will take the Western Regions."

Morozov frowned, "Even if it's as your Excellency said, so what? It's okay if the Wei people don't come. If they dare to come, I will just set up an ambush and beat them by mistake. Just like I defeated that surnamed Jiang before." Like the general!"
