Chapter 196
Facing Zhong Yao’s question,
Gu Changan smiled slightly and said,”My policy of governing the country is different from that of other princes!”
“I did not put all the tax burden on the common people!”
“Instead, based on the actual number of fields, the wealthy families and the powerful households were required to pay more taxes!”
“As a result, you can see how greedy people are. For a little bit of benefit, they would risk the destruction of their families. This led to the two rebellions in Guanzhong!”
“If I put all my efforts into unifying the world, but subsequent talents fail to keep up, such rebellions may occur everywhere in the world!”
“Instead, it will cause more chaos, more wars, and make people’s lives miserable!”
“It is better to maintain this situation first, and we will gradually solve the problem of separatist rule by these princes!”
“Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, is a good example!”
“As long as we send troops to threaten Hanzhong, Liu Yan will definitely mobilize all his forces for defense in the face of our large army!”
“At this time, we can use the smallest���”Price, get rid of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and let Yizhou return to the control of the court!”
Zhong Yao heard Gu Changan’s explanation, and he suddenly realized.
He understood why Gu Changan had to use such a surprise attack.
Yizhou has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If one checkpoint after another is taken, it is still unknown how many people will die and how much resources will be consumed.
Only through such a surprise attack can not only the least number of people die, but also the consumption of resources is not much.
Even after it is taken down, the entire Yizhou will not suffer the destruction of a large-scale war.
Yizhou is a land of abundance. After being occupied by the court, it can continuously transport supplies.
Let Gu Changan’s territory become larger and larger, and his strength become stronger and stronger.
For other princes, the pressure is greater.
At that time, maybe some princes can issue an order to settle the matter.
“I didn’t expect that the lord’s military and literary strategies are so extraordinary, and he can think of things that others dare not think of.〃」 〃」 ！”
“I have no opinion on the Yizhou strategy!” Zhong Yao now has great admiration for Gu Changan.
Since the strategy of surprise attack on Yizhou has been decided, preparations must be made for this war.
The first thing is high-profile publicity.
Only by attracting the attention of all the princes in the world can Yizhou Mu Liu Yan know Gu Changan’s determination.
Only then can their army be transferred to the direction of Hanzhong and Jianmen Pass.
This will cause the military strength in the hinterland of Yizhou to be empty and create conditions for Gu Changan’s surprise attack….
In the early morning when the dawn was just beginning.
The palace of Chang’an City was bathed in a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
The palace wall of Chongde Hall.
Under the sunlight of the morning, it looked particularly solemn and dignified.
Gu Chang’an was wearing armor.
He appeared in the court again.
All the civil and military officials couldn’t help but look sideways when they saw Gu Chang’an’s appearance.
Since Gu Chang’an broke the rules and didn’t wear gorgeous trendy clothes.
Instead
, he wore armor to court. More and more military generals took Gu Chang’an as an example.
They also wore gorgeous armor to court.
This made all the civil officials feel very uncomfortable.
The sound of ritual music came from Chongde Hall.
Emperor Liu Xie, accompanied by several eunuchs, walked out from the back and sat on the dragon chair.
All the civil and military ministers who came to court walked into the hall together and saluted the emperor.
Gu Chang’an held his head high and walked calmly, and also entered the hall.
At this time, the Chongde Hall was crowded with ministers, and the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
They were either whispering to each other, talking a lot, or bowing their heads in thought, with heavy thoughts.
Everyone was waiting for the highlight of this court meeting, which was the memorial that Gu Changan was about to submit.
Gu Changan was a man who never came to the court for no reason.
He usually didn’t go to court at all.
And every time he went to court, it basically meant that something big was going to happen in the country.
Emperor Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon throne.
Looking at Gu Changan walking into the hall, he couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart.
He knew that Gu Changan must have something important to report when he went to court this time.
He just didn’t know what it was.
A eunuch next to Liu Xie saw that the whole court had quieted down.
He stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice
“¨「”If you have something to say, please report it. If you don’t, please leave the court!” Whether they have something to say or not, all the civil and military officials focused their attention on Gu Chang’an.
Gu Chang’an walked to the center of the hall without looking around.
Gu Chang’an bowed his hands, bowed slightly, and then said loudly:”¨「 I have a report!”
Liu Xie said quickly,”Please speak, my dear minister!”
Gu Changan took a deep breath and said loudly
“Your Majesty, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, as a relative of the Han Dynasty, should have been loyal to his country and served the country.”
“However, he went against the grain, established his own regime, and even secretly colluded with the rebels in Guanzhong in an attempt to overthrow the imperial court.”
“Such behavior is truly treasonous and unforgivable!”
“”I beg Your Majesty to mobilize the army, attack Yizhou, and bring Liu Yan to justice!”
His voice was passionate and indignant, full of anger and dissatisfaction with Liu Yan’s betrayal of the court.
As soon as Gu Chang’an finished speaking, the civil and military ministers at the court meeting in Chongde Hall were in an uproar.
Many ministers stood up to express their opposition.
They believed that conquering Yizhou would cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
Moreover, Yizhou has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Once a war breaks out, it will probably be protracted and the gains will not outweigh the losses.
Taichang Zhongfu was the first to stand up and oppose.
He said passionately:”Your Majesty, conquering Yizhou will cost lives and money, and it is really a bad policy.”
“Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, our dynasty has just experienced many twists and turns, and the people have not yet recovered!”
“Starting a war at this time is like adding insult to injury. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting!”
His words were sincere, full of concern and worry for the suffering of the people of the world……. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, comments!.
