Chapter 342: Clearing Accounts
Mo Yuanji ignored the perplexity of the strategist. He lowered his head and thought carefully for a long time before he made a decision in his heart.
"This matter is feasible."
He looked up at Jia Yu and nodded fiercely, "As long as he can help me delay for a year, it's okay to give him ten thousand border troops!"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"
The strategist just now quickly stood up and opposed: "This Mo Zizai is arrogant. If he ruined the troops of ten thousand sides and could not delay the time for us, then our northern border will lose these ten thousand elites in vain!"
"Wi Huang is here, this will not happen."
Jia Yu obviously considered this possibility and said slowly: "Although Mo Zi has various shortcomings here, he has an extremely obvious advantage, that is, he will never interfere in the command of the army."
"When Nanjun suppressed the rebellion, he directly handed over all the command of the army to Wei Huang, and even he himself was under the command of Wei Huang, so there would be no problem with these troops being handed over to him."
"After all, although Wei Huang is not a famous general, he is also a person who fought with the late emperor on the battlefield. You can't even feel at ease with him, right?"
"Wei Huang..."
Mo Yuanji remembered some bad memories when he heard this name. When he learned that Mo Congyi was going to compete for the throne in the capital, he knew that it was not Mo Congyi's opponent, he left the capital overnight. After he left the capital, Wei Huang directly brought people to block several gates in the capital. If he ran slower, he might have been caught by Wei Huang.
However, he still recognized Wei Huang's ability. Before Mo Congyi even arrived in the capital, Wei Huang controlled half of the power of the capital. If Mo Congyi had not been in a hurry to ascend the throne back then, he would have to wait a few more days. Maybe there would be no need to fight in the capital that year, and Mo Congyi would be able to capture the capital without bloodshed.
So if these troops were handed over to Wei Huang for command, it would be fine to pacify some prefectures and counties.
However, those aristocratic families are not fuel-efficient. Even if Wei Huang can capture those places, his own losses will not be small, so letting both of them consume each other is indeed a good thing for him.
"This matter is settled."
Mo Yuanji made the decision directly, and then he asked Jia Yu: "It's not a big problem to draw 10,000 border troops, but who should be chosen as the general?"
If you send these 10,000 people to Mo Zizai, the generals in charge will definitely be on the bench. If Mo Zizai completely controls the troops of the 10,000 sides, he might even attack the general. So this is a complete death sentence. It is obviously not very suitable for Mo Yuanji to let anyone go.
And there is another point that both sides are suspicious of each other now. Even if he sends people here, he is 10,000 elite troops after all. Can the capital be assured? Don’t have any conflicts at that time. If the two sides fight again, the army will consume the power of both sides out of thin air. That would be a huge loss.
"Han Qu!"
Jia Yu shook the wine pot in his hand with some smugness and said, "The prince dispatched 10,000 people to the capital to serve the king. If Han Qu is allowed to do this commander, he will not refuse it if he is reasonable."
"This is indeed a good idea!"
Mo Yuanji's eyes were slightly lit. To him, Han Qu was as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit, but when he could not use force, he could not do anything to him for a while. So he has been having a headache with Han Qu in recent years. If he could transfer him away, this would undoubtedly be good news.
"No wonder you said this may be a good thing. If Han Qu can be transferred, this is indeed good news!"
Mo Yuanji, who was excited, didn't care about his demeanor anymore. He immediately picked up a pretty intact piece of letter paper from the ground and wrote a letter to Han Qu, and immediately sent someone to Han Qu.
Han Qu has a reputation in the north, and he has never surrendered, so he is undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block for Mo Yuanji to unify the northern border. If he is moved away, his speed of unifying the northern border will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated.
...
In Fengzhou Prefecture, when Han Qu saw Mo Yuanji's letter, his face looked very ugly.
The master beside him looked at Han Qu's ugly face and took the letter from Han Qu. After he finished reading it, he couldn't help but frown, "Ship Han, King Bei'an wants to transfer you from the northern border. You must not agree to this matter."
Han Qu didn't say anything. After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Beijing, I must go."
"Now the turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a time when the army is needed. If we can transfer these ten thousand border troops, we may be able to solve the urgent needs of the capital."
"But this ten thousand border troops does not necessarily require commander Han Shuai!"
The master's face was a little anxious. King Bei'an had long been eyeing Fengzhou Prefecture. If Han Qu left the northern border, there would be no possibility of coming back. "The King Bei'an obviously has a unique purpose in this matter. Even if Han Shuai didn't go, he would definitely choose other commanders to send it to him."
"I am the best choice to lead this ten thousand border troops."
Han Qu shook his head and said, "There are not many generals in the northern border that can reassure the capital. If other generals are asked to go, the court may not dare to reassure at all."
"What's more, even I can't be sure if King Bei'an had any other ideas to send this 10,000 border troops over. If the 10,000 border troops have any other ideas in the capital, then the Great Zhou would be doomed."
"this……"
The master was speechless, but this was clearly the plan of King Bei'an. If Han Qu really led his troops to the capital, wouldn't this fulfill the wishes of King Bei'an?
"Ship Han, the Great Zhou Dynasty is now in chaos. Even if you bring 10,000 border troops to you, you can't change anything!"
"I have no choice for eating the king's fortune and taking care of the king's worries."
Han Qu's tone was very calm. He also knew that this was the plan of King Bei'an. He also knew that with the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he brought 10,000 border troops back to Beijing, it would be a drop in the bucket. If he went back, he had no hope of survival himself, but he still decided to go back without any hesitation.
"The King of Bei'an wants Fengzhou Prefecture, let him take it."
Han Qu spoke to the master and said, "You go and notify the soldiers to gather. I don't believe in the people of King Bei'an. The candidates who will return to Beijing this time will be selected from the soldiers in Fengzhou."
"But you have to tell them that this time you go back to the capital, life and death will be unpredictable. Whether you are willing to go with me and let them choose on their own. I will never force you."
"If you are willing to leave, let them pack their luggage and take their family back to Beijing with you. If you are unwilling, don't force it. Tell them that the King of Bei'an will take over Fengzhou Prefecture in a few days so that they don't have to worry about their own safety."
"Han Shuai..."
The master was a little excited and wanted to say something, but Han Qu raised his hand to stop him, "Okay, go."
