Chapter 1027 Three Methods
In the battle of Yanghe Plain, Liang's 200,000-strong army was completely destroyed, and all the soldiers who finally surrendered and fled were killed!
After that, Guan Ning did not stay any longer and led his army straight to Shangjing.
After defeating Liang Jun, he was really powerful.
When it reaches this level, the imperial court should continue to send more troops to stop it.
Guan Ning knew that the imperial court had just recruited 100,000 new soldiers, and also had some of the troops that Gao Cangyi had withdrawn. Organizing and recruiting them could also create combat effectiveness.
But Guan Ning discovered that they had withdrawn all their troops.
Do you want to stick to Shangjing?
This is indeed a viable option, but it is also a dead end!
All the good fortune has been exhausted!
In fact, when Emperor Longjing summoned the Liang army, there was already a foreshadowing.
How sad should a country's safety be at the expense of another country's military?
Moreover, Dakang does not only have this problem, but also the corruption and inaction of its relatives and acute internal conflicts.
The princes were fighting for the throne and were experiencing serious internal strife.
He captured two princes in his hands, one was Zhou Wang Xiao Cheng who was captured in Silla.
Speaking of this prince, it is quite ridiculous.
After his army entered Silla City, the prince huddled in a corner of a room, and the first thing he said was, don't kill me.
It was obvious that he, who was used to being pampered and had never experienced a war, was frightened.
The other one is the third prince, Jin Wang Xiao Qi.
He was captured in the battle of Yanghe Plain.
Xiao Qi originally had a chance to escape, but he stayed on his own initiative, which can be regarded as being captured on his own initiative.
In his words.
Liang Guodu was fighting desperately. If he followed Gao Cangyi's example and ran away, the dignity of the Dakang court would be gone.
This is a prince with backbone and also an ambitious prince.
The first thing he said when he saw Guan Ning was, you support me to ascend the throne as emperor, I will make you the king of the north, and all the six northern states will be your fief!
Xiao Qi looked at Guan Ning expectantly.
He felt that his bargaining chip was heavy enough.
The King of the North is the largest king since the founding of Dakang. It completely belongs to the country of China, which is equivalent to him ceding part of the country to Guan Ning.
"If I help you rehabilitate and endorse you, you are not rebelling, you are just a traitor to the emperor and punishing the sycophants!"
Xiao Qi believed that his conditions were sufficient, but Guan Ning's words made his heart sink to the bottom.
"What I want is not the north, but the world!"
Xiao Qi gave up completely and roared almost hysterically.
"Do you really want to be accused of rebellion for the rest of your life? My father has been in power for nearly thirty years, and he still suffers from infamy. You are worse than that. You know how the history books will record it..."
"I don't care."
Guan Ning said calmly: "If I dare to rebel, I have already thought of everything..."
At this point in the conversation, Xiao Qi realized that he could not possibly convince Guan Ning.
A person like this is scheming and ruthless. He can directly order the massacre of all Liang soldiers who have surrendered. What else can't he do?
Xiao Qi's plan failed, so he gave up completely and told Guan Ning about the court affairs.
Guan Ning has been away from home for a long time and has been away from Beijing for a long time. He knows about it, but not in detail.
Only then did he realize how chaotic the situation was.
In order to remain on the throne, Emperor Longjing pushed the young Xiao Zheng out, which led to serious disputes.
All these factors have increased the burden on Dakang.
Dakang is like a house that leaks air everywhere, but there are still people who keep taking away its beams and digging out its foundation!
This house is going to collapse.
What Guan Ning has to do is to completely tear it down and then rebuild it...
"What will you do with me and my fifth brother?"
Guan Ning said calmly: "If you are honest, you may be imprisoned until death."
"What if I'm not honest?"
"Then I can only die."
The calm words made Xiao Qi's body and mind tremble.
"You're in big trouble!"
Xiao Qi said: "You slaughtered Liang Guo's 200,000 troops and completely angered Liang Guo. Liang Guo will definitely raise its troops to attack. Do you think you can stop it?"
"I once went to Liang State as an envoy and saw that the people of Liang State live in peace and prosperity, and the country is strong and prosperous. My remaining country is far incomparable..."
It can be seen from these words that Xiao Qi is knowledgeable.
Guan Ning said calmly: "Didn't you hear clearly just now?"
"What I want is not great prosperity, but the world!"
"you……"
"Arrogant!"
Xiao Qi's pupils tightened, and then he understood Guan Ning's thoughts.
To others it is the end, but to him it is the starting point!
What he wants is the world!
In other words, he wants to annex Liang and Wei to unify the mainland and achieve great hegemony!
"impossible!"
"You must not be able to achieve it!"
Xiao Qi said: "You can't even attack Kyoto."
"Shangjing is the first fortified city of Dakang. Compared with Silla, it is thousands of miles away. There are countless grain stores and countless weapons of all kinds. The city walls are high and strong, and the walls are hard and thick. Nowadays, all the surrounding troops are
Gather in Shangjing!"
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said: "When we go out to fight in the city, we will definitely not be able to defeat you in a frontal attack, but if we hold on for several months and a year, there will be no problem. Can you hold on?"
"How strong is your logistical support?"
Xiao Qi is very capable and really sees the real merits.
Guan Ning's logistical support indeed cannot last much longer. With the power of the north fighting against a court that can use the resources of the whole country, it is no longer easy to achieve the current situation.
His logistical support is no longer strong.
"Continuing to waste it will not do you any good."
Xiao Qi seemed to think there was still hope as he spoke.
"You have to understand that no one knows the outcome until the last moment. If you cannot capture the capital, you will definitely fail!"
"Everything you said is correct."
Guan Ning said: "The walls of Shangjing City are much thicker than Pingzhang Pass. Compared with Silla, if I want to attack, it is true that I may not succeed, but you have to understand that a strong fortress is often broken from the inside!"
Xiao Qi's expression changed slightly.
"Just wait and see."
"Don't be too proud. The one who insists on going to Beijing now is Xue Huairen!"
Guan Ning told Xiao Qi this information, so he remembered it.
"Do you know how much hatred Xue Huairen has against you? You killed his grandson!"
"The hatred is indeed very great, but as long as the identity changes, it will not be so great."
Guan Ning said calmly: "What if I were the emperor? Do you think he would still have hatred?"
Xiao Qi was speechless.
If his father, Emperor Longjing, killed the son of a minister, it would be a matter of just one word. Who would dare to be dissatisfied?
After finishing his conversation with Xiao Qi, during the march, whenever he had nothing to do, he would come and chat with Xiao Qi for a while.
You can also learn a lot of intelligence information about the imperial court from it.
All the troops were transferred to Shangjing, which just allowed him to march smoothly.
Not to mention that there were no obstacles, in some places even the citizens of the city came to greet us.
This also shows that Emperor Longjing gradually lost the support of the people.
Disengagement!
After tearing off the disguise, the wise and mighty Emperor Long Jing was nothing but a selfish and foolish king.
