Everyone rebelled

In the main hall, Chen Kefu was full of loyal ministers and was determined to avenge the late emperor. Later, the young emperor suddenly stood up again. Not only did he firmly agree with Chen Kefu's plan to attack the Tang Dynasty, but he also recognized Chen Kefu as Shang's father. In this way, the emperor and the prime minister who was in charge of all political affairs would attack Li Yuan, so who dared to propose to say something?

However, although both the emperor and the prime minister wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty, there were always people who sang the opposite tune.

The prince's grand tutor Pei Shiju had been watching coldly just now. Seeing that even the emperor had respected Chen Kefu as Shang's father, he almost vomited blood. He thought that he was devoted to the Great Sui Dynasty, ran around for the Yang family royal family, and went on missions to the Western Regions, grasslands, and planning for the country many times. But in the end, he made a rebellious minister become Shang's father, and a truly loyal minister like him became a decoration, which made him bear it.

"Your Majesty." Pei Shiju responded to the emperor's words: "I think it is unbearable to desire, but it is virtue, not danger."

"No, the right time and place are harmonious, the right people are harmonious, and the right people are harmonious, and the right people are dangerous, and the right places are inseparable. Both are not neglected." Mao Yi said calmly.

"The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. Therefore, it is said that virtue is not as dangerous. If the emperor diligently cultivates moral governance, who dares to commit lightly?"

"No, a place of victory is a place of victory, and military strategists must fight. If it is said that virtue is not in danger, this is why Duke Xiang of Song defeated the country and died. Taifu Pei is good at historical facts, wouldn't he know? All kings of all dynasties have taken the lead in a place of victory. Judging from the dynasty, the previous emperor is ignorant. In the past, Goguryeo and Eastern Turks were both ready to move. Your Majesty took the initiative to attack Goryeo to eliminate future troubles. However, the people were hard-working and soldiers fought in foreign countries, and tens of thousands of people died. Three conquests of Liao, and the surnames caused chaos in the Central Plains. To this day, the world is seven parts, and officials and powerful people all over the country have been claimed by the king. However, the people have been hard-working and fighting in other countries. Tens of thousands of people have died. Three conquests of Liao, and the surname has caused chaos in the Central Plains. To this day, the world is seven parts, and officials and powerful people have all occupied the land and claimed the king.

The emperor was in power. The landlords from all directions all gathered in the mountains and forests, gathered people and became bandits, causing the world to suffer the consequences, and the people were all in the water and fire. All of these were not caused by our great Sui Dynasty, but by our great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, I did not agree with what Your Majesty said. Although Li Yuan and others were rebellious ministers who killed the king, at this time, they just wanted to avenge this revenge, but ignored the world. This was not what a wise ruler should do. At present, although Your Majesty was the emperor, he could be as low as seven points today. Apart from the pseudo-dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, five of the descendants and nephews of the former emperor were called emperors."

Pei Shiju ignored everyone's reaction at this time and was frustrated in the Liaodong army for so long. He just wanted to vent the repressed injustice in his heart for a long time. Chen Kefu said he wanted to attack Tang, so he insisted on sing the opposite tune.

"Your Majesty, although you have entered Hedong to attack Li Ni, it is a major event to avenge this country. However, at present, Your Majesty's primary task is to regain the mountains and rivers of the Great Sui, unify the Central Plains, and destroy all parties to establish a rebellion against the king. As long as you reunify the Unification of the Great Sui, which was conquered by Emperor Wen, this is Your Majesty's true filial piety. If you only want to avenge this revenge for a while, and try to avoid the great cause of your ancestors, miss the great opportunity to unify Hebei and pacify the world at this time, that is the greatest unfilial piety."

Although Pei Shiju was to oppose Chen Kefu, Pei Shiju was also a first-class foreign minister in the Sui Dynasty for many years before Yang Guang. Even the foreign strategy during the Sui Dynasty was mostly done by others, so the opposition at this time was also a sound and reasonable and well-founded statement.

When Pei Shiju was excited, he simply laughed loudly in the hall, "Did the Prime Minister not read history? I don't know that most of the destruction of dynasties were not destroyed by foreign enemies, but by virtue and politics but by rebellions everywhere? Thinking about the time of Emperor Wen, although the dynasty repeatedly fought with foreign tribes and fought wars every year, it created a prosperous era of Kaihuang. What's wrong? Later, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and even the capital was built, building canals, and conquered all directions. In just a few years, the canal was built, and the eastern capital was moved, and even the surrounding tribes were beaten to surrender. But in the end, the people rebelled and the nobles of aristocratic families became disinterested. This led to those ambitious ministers who held their own troops and even killed the king like Li Yuan." As he said that, Pei Shiju looked at Chen Kefu coldly with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to continue the mistakes of the previous emperor? Now we are in Beijing, and even the Xijing and Dongdu of the Great Sui Dynasty are in his hands. At this time, we are not busy expeditioning everywhere, but we should start to resume production and recruit local governments. As long as the people under our rule are stable and the internal stability, we can be willing to send troops to fight against rebellions everywhere. At present, the court is the only one in Liaodong and northern Hebei. Liaodong is bitter and cold, and self-sufficiency is still barely enough. Hebei is even more ruined after a long war. In this way, we are eager to conquer, and then the land of Liaodong and Hebei will be like the seventh year of Daye. The external chaos has not yet been settled, and the internal strife has begun again. At that time, I am afraid that even this small foundation of Liaodong and Hebei will be lost."

After Pei Shiju finished speaking, the hall was silent. Although the generals from the Liaodong Army in the hall had no good impression of Pei Shiju, they also felt that what he said was reasonable. Civil officials such as Fang Xuanling nodded unstoppable.

For military generals, they only need to make some strategic plans, then order troops and send generals to fight on the battlefield. All life and death are controlled by their own hands. What they are fighting is real and near.

For those of the civil officials such as Fang Xuanling, in today's war era, all their plans and affairs must be carried out around the war. The Liaodong Army has unparalleled combat power, and has come from Liaodong and entered Hebei. Although there were two defeats in the middle, it did not have much impact. The Liaodong Army has more and more troops, its territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people under its rule.

In Liaodong, due to Chen Kefu's early planning in his early years, the Liaodong army seized Goguryeo, plundered surrounding tribes, attacked Turks and other wars. It also traded with vendors from various places, used Liaodong's spoils, and various new and strange Liaodong output commodities to exchange for a large amount of food and food. In addition, Liaodong has been reclaimed in a large number of wasteland in recent years, and there was no disaster year. Although the output was not much, it also accumulated a little. Therefore, when they were in Liaodong, they maintained the Liaodong army with more than enough measures, and the military strategy was high, and the local people had no influence.

However, since the army entered Hebei, the Liaodong Army has occupied ten of the 18 counties in Hebei. The number of troops has also been recruiting the Hebei army and some local peasant troops, and the number of troops has more than doubled. In addition, it is still employed nearly 100,000 troops from the Three Kingdoms including Khitan, Silla, etc., and the cost of asking them to send troops is like a huge hole, and it cannot be filled no matter how hard it is.

These are not the most headaches for Fang Xuanling and others. What really headaches are the ten counties in Hebei that were captured. It is winter now, and the harvest and planting season has passed. However, the ten counties in Hebei captured not only did not get any spoils, but instead got ten counties covered with scorched earth.

There were broken walls and ruins everywhere. The refugees who gathered to seek refuge were all hungry and only one skin was left. The people of ten counties were basically not many who could still stay in their hometowns. The years of rebellion and wars made Hebei a ruin, and there were hungry people wandering everywhere.

Seven years ago, there were three or four million people on this fertile land in Hebei. After years of melee, four out of ten people were gone, and now there were more than two million people in Hebei. Now, these two million people are open, waiting for the court to send porridge and soup to spend their lives on time every day. As the cold winter is coming, these refugees have no houses or clothes to keep warm, and everything is waiting for the court.

All the imperial divisions were already overwhelmed by this huge burden, and everyone understood that these more than two million people could not continue to provide food or help him spend the winter. These people who had been wild for several years might turn around and turn into two million chaotic people and robbed Hebei.

Over the past year, the Liaodong Army has fought everywhere, going deep into the grassland to fight the Turks, and leading the army into Hebei. Not long ago, it just fought south, defeated Dou Jiande and captured three counties, but it also meant that there were hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Just now, the imperial court sent troops south to Shandong and mobilized the Hailongwei Navy to support Jiangdu. With this series of actions, the troops dispatched reached more than 200,000, and the food was transported to Jiangdu thousands of miles away. The consumption on this route was comparable to the needs of the soldiers.

Li Jing's troops had 50,000 troops, Hailong Guards had 120,000 troops, Qu Tutong's troops had 30,000 troops, Chen Ling's troops had 50,000 troops, and nearly 100,000 people in Jiangdu City. This combined was more than 300,000 mouths, and the huge war equipment consumed and supplies. All of these things made the officials of the new imperial court in Beijing feel heavy pressure.

Liaodong has reached its limit. Although the current situation should continue to send troops, there is not enough food and grass, and there is not enough equipment. How can we support a series of battles? If we continue to fight, we are afraid that from Hebei to Liaodong, from generals to emperors, we will have no food to eat.

When they heard that Chen Kefu was going to beat Li Yuan again, they were still resentful of the hatred of being betrayed by the Li family father and son in Luoyang and being robbed and killed. However, the court could not afford several armies to fight at the same time.

Before the troops move, food and grass will come first.

However, Mao Xi, Fang Xuanling and other civil officials were all clever wives and could not cook without rice.

Attacking Hedong from Hebei was a battle of distance. The army had to cross the high and dangerous Taihang Mountains and travel thousands of miles to fight. Logistics supply was an extremely difficult thing. Pei Shiju did not jump out first to object, but they had to stand up and stand up and oppose it tactfully.

Now that Pei Shiju started, civil officials such as Mao Xi, Fang Xuanling and others agreed and all stood up, opposing Chen Kefu's plan to send troops to attack Li Tang and avenge his former betrayal.

Many young generals in the hall came forward to argue, but these brave generals were good at fighting on the battlefield. However, no one could have ever talked about these civil servants who were well-read.

Chen Kefu stood quietly in the hall, frowned and pondered.
