Chapter 237 Invasion of foreign enemies in the Great Unity
"We must first settle the internal affairs when fighting foreign countries! This is a established national policy, so there is no need to discuss it!" Xiao Yu in the Jing'an Hall of the Daning Palace irritably interrupted the discussion of his ministers.
"Your Majesty! The East China Sea is eyeing it, and more than 200,000 people have gathered to capture the three islands of Liao. Now they support Quan Lang to proclaim himself emperor outside the pass and reestablish the pseudo-tomb. Our army outside the pass has retreated because we have not received the imperial edict.
It's south of Beisongjiang!" Chu Cheng said excitedly. In Chu Cheng's view, Mengxuan was just a matter within the Central Plains. Foreign enemies like Donghai and Beimu are what the court should pay attention to.
"What do you know! I have endured the interaction with Chengdu over the years. Now Chengdu is already in a big way. Kaifeng is now an opportunity. Don't we watch him continue to grow bigger? The East China Sea is just a disease of tinea scabies, and the pain and cold outside the pass are bitter and cold.
, I have long wanted to withdraw the army back to the pass. As long as we solve the Montessus within five years, no matter what Beimu or Donghai he is!" Xiao Yu was very stubborn.
Chu Cheng wanted to say something, Duanmuyang pulled his sleeve sideways and told him not to anger Xiao Yu anymore.
After retreating from the court, Duanmuyang dragged Chu Cheng back to the office yamen, and whispered as he walked: "Cu Xiang! You are so excited that you are contradicting Your Majesty!"
"Duke Lang! I didn't want to argue with Your Majesty. Since General Yu has already rushed to Yingchuan, why should he transfer Dongyang King over? In this way, our coastal defense will be empty. Moreover, the wolfish people in the East China Sea are ambitions that they invade the three islands of the outer Liao Dynasty.
To support Quan Lang, the next step is to march into the Central Plains, you should see clearly!" Chu Cheng was still angry. He believed that resisting foreign enemies was more important than unifying the Central Plains.
"Chu Xiang is afraid that he is too serious. Even if the East China Sea has developed civil strife in our Central Plains over the years, it will not have the ability to threaten the Central Plains." Duanmuyang said this as a comfort, and secondly, he was also in his heart.
Look down on the East China Sea.
Chu Cheng shook his head and said, "Duke Lang, you know my origin. When Quan clan married Donghai, I saw Donghai's ambition. Fortunately, Lao Yan King was always alert to Donghai and did not let Donghai sit down.
Big, but Donghai also took the opportunity to install a lot of people in Youdu. This time Donghai blatantly supports Quan Lang, a scum, which is enough to show that Donghai is prepared!"
Duanmuyang thought for a moment and said, "Since there is something wrong with Youdu, why should the Prime Minister Chu care about the transfer of the King of Dongyang?"
"The King of Dongyang is in charge of our defense of the sea for a long time, and the people of Donghai are quite afraid of him. You have also read the military newspaper. The East China Sea fleet has been cruising near the Yangtze River. Once the King of Dongyang is mobilized, the people of Donghai may not dare to enter the Songjiang River in the north and south.
!”
Duanmuyang took a breath. What Chu Cheng said was quite reasonable! But do people in Donghai really dare?
Chu Cheng saw Duanmuyang's hesitation about what he said, and then said: "Duke Lang Guo, once King Dongyang starts war with Daxuan in the Dahu Lake, it will be difficult for him to withdraw. In recent years, the Montessori learned from our dynasty and formed the
The navy, whether it is Huo Youji or Xia Wenyu, is difficult to match. If the East China Sea invades Nansongjiang and Nansongjiang is lost, the East China Sea will go up the river, what do you think will happen!"
Duanmuyang, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in a tremolo, "Chao Xiang, you should not say this easily! After passing Nansongjiang, you will be along the river and you will be in the capital!"
Chu Cheng nodded without saying anything. He knew that Duanmuyang had a sense of crisis. Duanmuyang paced back and forth in the room, and then suddenly stopped and said, "Chao Xiang, go find Prince Anqing, I'll invite the prince, we're here
Meeting with the Prince of Anqing County, if this matter is as you said, it will be too big, and it is not something you and I can solve it!"
Prince Xiao Ning, holding the teacup trembled, gasping for breath and said, "Uncle Wang, Duke Lang, do you think what Chu Xiang said will come true?"
Everyone was speechless. Chu Cheng said too much, and no one dared to comment easily. After half a quarter of an hour, Xiao Han stood up and said, "I will go to the northern border to discuss the south with the King of Yan these days. Let's see first.
Depending on the situation, what do you think?"
"The prince admires his caution, but can the King of Dongyang not move west for the time being, or suspend the plan for the westward advance?" Chu Cheng was still working hard. He thought it was unwise to turn against Daxuan at this time.
Xiao Han looked at Xiao Ning. If this matter is to be facilitated, it depends on whether Xiao Ning is willing to work hard. Xiao Ning was uncomfortable when Xiao Han saw it, and stuttered and embarrassedly said: "Uncle Wang, I don't want to do it. This is
The plan set by the father is difficult to take back with his father's temper unless it can be persuaded to persuade the King of Dongyang."
Duanmuyang sighed and said, "The King of Dongyang has always been very determined to execute His Majesty's instructions. We cannot use our strength to him, but if the speed is fast enough, even if the Donghai attacks us, it should be too late for the King of Dongyang to return to help.
”
"Everyone, what you say now is just a guess. Your Majesty's instructions will still be implemented. Is there any news from Qilin Pavilion?" Xiao Han stood up and asked.
"Prince, Qilin Pavilion sends back the news that Huo Youji, who temporarily took over Kaifeng, was acutely ill last night. Now Kaifeng is temporarily taken over by Jin Fu, and Jiujiang is now Xia Wenyu is temporarily commanding." Duanmuyang replied with a frown.
"No, Huo You is sick? Is it a bit too coincidental for him to get sick at this time?" Chu Cheng questioned.
"It should be no problem. As far as I know, the people in Kaifeng have never been very friendly to Huo Youji. The generals of Kaifeng camp are dissatisfied with Huo Youji's guest general. Now the people in the Condor Heroes are gathering near Ruzhou.
, Jin Fu was also rushing the duck to put it on the shelves. This kid is not the opponent of General Yu." Xiao Han said calmly. First, he believed in the information of Jinyi Qilin, and second, although Jin Fu became famous in the Battle of Yuzhang,
Compared with Yu Qingwu, he is still a young man.
"The prince's analysis is reasonable. Huo Youji was originally going to the Condor Heroes to select people to form new recruits. Zhou Ce's death was an accident. It is indeed unlikely that Huo Youji wanted to control Kaifeng for a while. Besides, Zhou Ce's deputy suddenly committed suicide. This is for Huo Youji.
It's not a good thing. The disease is probably not true, but it should be fine to retreat." Duanmuyang has studied the generals of Daxuan. Among the second-generation generals of Daxuan, Huo Youji is indeed a high-ranking existence. If he is given
It is no problem to sort out Kaifeng in three months, but even Chen Zhiqing cannot guarantee that he can control it all.
"Oh, Zhou Ce's assassination was our work, but it is indeed not what we want to do in the fire of Princess's Mansion. Quan Qing has no bottom line in doing things." Xiao Han said quietly. This is also the first time he has made a direct response to the Kaifeng incident.
A small response.
However, the people present were not particularly surprised. Although Ning and Xuan had close contacts over the years, the competition between the two sides had never stopped. For Daning, Kaifeng, where Zhou Ce was stationed, was stuck in Heluo's throat like a fish bone.
After that, the Ning army has never dared to move westward, and the army in the pass is also difficult to move.
Assassination of Zhou Ce was just to prevent Kaifeng Xuan Army from leaving the city easily, but now, Quan Qing, the brainless man, killed Zhou Ce and his wife directly, and took the initiative to provoke Nanyang Xuan Army, which made Daning have to send troops in advance.
, Once Xuan’s army approaches Luochen’s city, how long can Quan Qing defend?
Xiao Yu withdrew everyone, and studied the route of troops in the inner study room. Teng Han was in Xijing, Yu Qingwu was in Yingchuan, Xiao Ze was in Wangjiang, and three troops were acting together. Teng Han was feinted to attack Hanzhong, and this journey only needed
Just let Meng Huan return to the army quickly. Xiao Ze actually has no specific tasks in Wangjiang. The purpose is to attract Da Xuan's attention. If it is possible to win Yuzhang, Jiujiang is also a good thing. The most important way is Yu Qingwu, Shen
The Eagle Army is in chaos, and Xuan Song and others are still in Chengdu. Even if they can't take Kaifeng, they can prevent Kaifeng from coming out. In this way, it would be easier to advance westward with Yu Qingwu's ability.
Now Xiao Yu’s only concern is whether Long Tingfei will reach some kind of agreement with Daxuan. According to the original plan, it will be two months after this expedition, but Zhou Ce and his wife will not be able to send troops as soon as possible. They wanted Quan Xi to do so.
The people who controlled Long Tingfei, but the actions of the Donghai people and Quan Lang made Quan Xi a little disobeyed. Xiao Han had to go there as soon as possible and urge Quan Xi to go south.
After making up his mind, Xiao Yu immediately called the eunuch to pass the imperial eunuch. The time was not waiting for anyone, and he wanted to compete with Daxuan. At this time, Meng Yan was still in sadness. Once he realized that Xiao Yu thought he was not sure about it.
Take advantage, my brother for many years.
After the eunuch left, Xiao Yu took a few personal guards to Lantingyuan. After reaching the door, Xiao Yu asked the personal guards to guard outside and walked in alone.
After passing through the corridor, a flower room on the island in the middle of the lake half-closed the door. Xiao Yu pushed it gently and said with a smile: "Sanniang, are you okay these days?"
An elegant woman in the flower room was pruning the flowers. When she heard Xiao Yu's words, she didn't look back and responded softly: "Brother, I said, it's meaningless to hold me like this." Then the woman turned her head and looked at her.
Looking at Xiao Yu expressionlessly, this person was Zhong Roulan, the Queen of Southern Chu!
"Sanniang, I don't want to hold you back, I just hope you can figure it out that the Central Plains is where you and me will perform. Whether it is overseas or the Western Mainland, it is not our hometown, but then again, you are still as bold as you were when you were young.
, the dignified Nanchu Empress would actually sneak back to Yuhang."
"I was careless. I didn't expect that my relatives around me would contact you." Zhong Roulan said calmly, as if she was not particularly touched by the incident of being under house arrest.
"Sanniang, the same thing, come back and help me, keep the position of Queen of Daning for you. As long as you are willing, all your subordinates can be placed in Daning, and I can even help you regain Chenjing back.
, I'll give you Chen Jing."
Zhongroulan smiled faintly and said, "Brother, we are not teenagers anymore. You are okay to coax the child by saying these words. I am so old," and then paused and continued, "You are dealing with your second brother now,
Are you sure, to be honest? Over the years, you and I have been sorry for my second brother too many places."
