Zhao Ziliang immediately waved to a soldier outside the door and asked him to go to the military camp to get the Kan map.
The Kan map was quickly brought over.
Zhao Ziliang ordered someone to hang it on the wall.
The Kan map was very large, and the ministers and generals present All can be seen clearly.
At this time, someone said: "Lingzhou seems a little too remote and desolate.
Isn't it too shabby for the emperor's palace?"
Fang Guan said coldly: "Hey, it's not like Lingzhou is being made the capital of the country, it's just used as a temporary base.
After the rebels are defeated and the two capitals are recovered, His Majesty will naturally return to Chang'an."
Wei Jiansu, who was hanging his arms with a white cloth, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I think it is most suitable for the Holy Emperor to enter Sichuan.
The sky is high in Xichuan and the road is far away, so the road to Sichuan is difficult.
In addition, the land in Sichuan is fertile and the products are rich.
Even if the rebels Having conquered Guanzhong with unstoppable momentum, we, the Tang Dynasty, can still use Sichuan and the south as our capital to deal with the rebels."
This suggestion made Xuanzong think it was more reliable.
Going to Lingzhou was not only windy and sandy, but also not very safe.
It was too close to the desert and was full of barbarian settlements.
What if those barbarians also stabbed the Tang Dynasty?
, Xuanzong really didn’t dare to think about where else to run.
Xuanzong thought for a while, looked at Zhao Ziliang, and asked: "Zhao Qing family, what do you think of the two prime ministers' suggestions?"
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am a soldier and a border general.
I have not served in the court.
Logically speaking, I should not interfere in political affairs.
However, since I was appointed by Your Majesty as the deputy marshal of troops and horses, I am fully responsible for peace affairs."
If there is a rebellion against rebellion, then the ministers have the right to express their own opinions and views on the matter, because the location of the emperor's headquarters is related to the overall strategic deployment of counter-rebellion."
Xuanzong and the ministers all heard the new word "strategic deployment" in Zhao Ziliang's words, which sounded very noble, and they were immediately interested.
Xuanzong immediately said: "If the Zhao Qing family has any ideas, just tell them."
Zhao Ziliang walked to the Kanyu map and pointed at the Xichuan Basin and said: "In terms of safety, it is best for His Majesty's carriage to go to Sichuan, and Lingzhou is much closer to the counter-insurgency battlefield, which facilitates the exchange of military intelligence and war reports, and is relatively safe.
It is relatively safe.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
However, Wei Chen believes that these two places are not the best.
Once His Majesty travels to Sichuan and Lingzhou, he will not want to go there again.
It will be more difficult to come back, because no one can predict how long it will take to successfully counter the rebellion.
It may be three to five years, it may be ten or eight years, and it may even be twenty or thirty years.
Politically speaking, wherever the emperor is, he has to tell the world.
It shows how determined the Tang Dynasty is to counter the rebellion.
The closer the emperor is to the battlefield, the greater our determination to counter the rebellion.
The farther the distance, the greater the determination.
So we tell the world that our determination to counter the rebellion is very small.
Because we have no confidence and confidence, the people of the world who stay far away from the battlefield do not understand the truth.
They only look at the most real things.
The emperor is very close to the battlefield, and the people will His Majesty and His Majesty thought that the imperial army was so powerful that the rebels could not stay away for long.
Otherwise, why didn’t the emperor run far away?
People all understand the truth that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the people also follow the wind.
They don't care who is the emperor, who is powerful, who can make them live a good life, they will support whoever joins the court.
We have enough soldiers, but if the imperial court loses the support of the people, we won’t even be able to recruit soldiers, so how can we fight against the rebels?"
The civil and military ministers in the hall immediately started talking when they heard this.

Xuanzong sighed: "Although what Zhao Qing's family said is rough, the words are rough but the reason is not rough.
This is the truth."
Zhao Ziliang continued: "So Wei Chen believes that Your Majesty can't go anywhere, at least not leave Maweiyi now.
Early this morning, Wei Chen has sent Tan Ma to Chang'an to investigate the military situation.
Although Tan Ma has not reported back any news yet, Wei Chen can conclude that there is a rebellion.
The army should not have arrived in Chang'an yet.
Chang'an It should still be in our hands.
If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty has no one to protect him, I would have even thought of mobilizing troops and marching towards Chang'an right now.
Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of the strength of the city walls and the city's fortifications, it is the most powerful city in the world.
The first fortified city is not an exaggeration.
As long as there are soldiers and generals garrisoning it and there are enough people in the city, With supplies of food, fodder and weapons, and a tight defense, how can the rebels break through Chang'an so easily?
The people of the world may not know that Your Majesty has left Chang'an.
If this news is known, the prestige of our Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the people of the world will plummet.
Your Majesty and When the ministers left Chang'an, they only considered their personal safety. , but ignored another extremely important thing: the prestige of the imperial court.
The loss of the capital would be a huge blow to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
If the imperial court lost its prestige in the hearts of the people in the world, how could it govern and control them?
Are you going to obey the emperor’s orders and the imperial court’s decrees under any conditions?”
Zhao Ziliang's words made Xuanzong and the ministers feel as if the sun had broken through the clouds, and made them all feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Gao Lishi originally wanted to scold Zhao Ziliang, but how could he mention this matter without caring about the emperor's face?
Who doesn't know about losing the capital?
The political impact is How bad it was.
But at that time, everyone from the emperor to the ministers were frightened.
How could they have thought of so much?
But Gao Lishi couldn't say it.
After all, the safety of everyone here now depends on Zhao Ziliang.
This person is too important. , it is better not to offend if possible.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang continued: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that the court now has two options: First, the imperial commander stays here and returns to Chang'an together after the main force of the Beiting Army arrives.
Now Wei Chen or General Chen will lead the three thousand The troops marched to Chang'an first and took control of Chang'an first.
Even if the rebels arrived, they would not be able to break through Chang'an for a while.
Once the main force of our Beiting Army arrived in Chang'an, the court could not be afraid of the rebels, or take the initiative to attack, or Defending on the spot, as long as we stabilize our position, we can switch from passive defense to active attack after the arrival of other Qinwang armies.
Strategically speaking, switching from passive defense to active attack is the key to victory.
The second option is, Your Majesty He and all the ministers will return to Chang'an with the army now.
We must get back to Chang'an City before the rebels arrive.
Even if the rebels arrive and besiege Chang'an after we arrive in Chang'an, when the main force of our Beiting army arrives, the rebels will inevitably retreat."
Wei Er, who was an official in the Jingzhao Mansion and joined the army, stood up and said: "Marshal Zhao, the two options you mentioned specifically mentioned that you should control Chang'an before the rebels, but isn't Chang'an still in the hands of the imperial court?
Even if the rebels are here, At that time, they had arrived and surrounded Chang'an.
They wanted to capture it only I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
In this case, why do we need to return to Chang'an now or send people to Chang'an to take over the city defense now?
Why don't we just wait for the main force of your Beiting Army to arrive and then dispatch half of the troops to Chang'an now to It’s not safe for the Holy Master to stay here.”
These words aroused the agreement of other courtiers, and everyone nodded.
On the one hand, everyone considered the safety of the emperor and themselves, and could not divide their troops to do other things at this time.
On the other hand, the rebels would not be able to take it anytime soon anyway.
It’s off to Chang’an, so there’s no need to rush back.
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists to Xuanzong and said, "May I ask Your Majesty if you can appoint the officials who stayed behind when the emperor left Chang'an the day before yesterday?"

Xuanzong felt a little embarrassed and said: "When I left in a hurry, I ordered Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan and the eunuch Bian Lingcheng to stay at Qing's house in Chang'an.
Why do you ask?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "I don't know about others, but I know Bian Lingcheng a little bit.
Back then, Gao Xianzhi led the Anxi Army and the Dashi Army in a decisive battle at Hengluosi.
The two sides fought for several days, and the Dashi Army suffered heavy losses.
On the last day of the battle, the Anxi Army was about to win.
However, the Geluolu people, who were servants, suddenly rebelled and attacked the Anxi Army from the left.
Gao Xianzhi ordered the army to monitor the border.
Lingcheng led the rear army to resist, but Bian Lingcheng not only disobeyed the order and did not lead troops to stop the rebellious Ge Luolu soldiers, but instead took the lead in escaping, causing the entire rear army to collapse.
The Anxi army, which was attacked on the left wing, could no longer resist The frontal attack of the food army completely defeated such a cowardly and cowardly person who stayed in Chang'an.
Does your Majesty think he will fight to the death to resist the rebel attack?"
"Let's talk about Cui Guangyuan.
I don't know what kind of person he is.
Since his surname is Cui, he should be a member of the Cui family.
The ancestral land of the Cui family is in Boling.
Now Boling is on the territory of the rebels.
Cui Guangyuan's entire family They are all in the hands of An Thief.
How determined is he to resist the rebels?
Your Majesty and all the adults have much respect for him.
I have little confidence that once Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng open the city and surrender, the rebels will be able to occupy Chang'an without spending a single soldier.
How many of the royal relatives and officials who remain in Chang'an will survive depends on their luck.
And Chang'an, the largest and most prosperous city in the world, suffered an unprecedented catastrophe."
Xuanzong and all the civil and military ministers couldn't help but turn pale after hearing Zhao Ziliang's analysis.
Xuanzong closed his eyes and remained silent.
Everyone could faintly see tears appearing in the corners of Xuanzong's eyes.
After a long time, Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "All the ministers, please retreat first and let me have some peace and quiet."
Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, the ministers could only say in unison: "I'll leave you."
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to ask the emperor how to choose, whether to choose the first or the second, but he swallowed his words.
After all, no matter which choice the emperor made, there would be great dangers.
The safest choice was The best way is not to make a choice, stay here until the main force of the Beiting Army arrives, and then make a decision.
Zhao Ziliang sighed secretly and exited the lobby along with the other ministers, leaving the inn directly and returning to the camp outside.
There is a distance of nearly 300 miles from Maweiyi to Chang'an.
The scout sent there cannot return immediately.
This will take time.
In order to strengthen the security of Maweiyi, Zhao Ziliang sent several reconnaissance teams to the surrounding areas for all-round investigation.
Due to the commotion in the surrounding area, people were also sent to urge Chu Ge and others, and ordered the main army to speed up their march
