Zhu Youde was very moved. Daliang felt helpless towards Beiyan because there was no Shanhaiguan.
The conditions offered by Zhao Shanhe are too good, but what if someone is joking?
"The Shanhaiguan Pass that I know is still in the hands of Han Wugui!"
Zhao Shanhe said: "Han Wugui is not in Shanhaiguan now. He led his army to the north. However, the north has now entered winter, and Han Wugui cannot return to the army for the time being. If he has artillery, the second prince can capture Shanhaiguan. Your Majesty can let Xuzhou Liang
Zan leads his army northward, and with such a pincer attack from the north and the south, Shanhaiguan will definitely be defeated, and then Shanhaiguan will belong to His Majesty."
Zhu Youde immediately laughed: "Your idea is very good, and it is really feasible."
"As long as Han Wugui doesn't give up the chance now, your majesty will make a decision."
Too attractive.
But Zhu Youde was also worried whether Han Wugui would be furious when he turned around!
Daliang's occupation of Shanhaiguan effectively eliminated the possibility of Han Wugui returning to the south. Han Wuguili now owned Shanhaiguan. If the Northern Expedition did not go smoothly, he could still enter the Shanhaiguan, Hebei and other places through Shanhaiguan.
But once...
The real purpose of the second prince of Yan Kingdom is probably to prevent Han Wugui from returning to the army.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is no loss to Daliang.
Zhu Youde nodded slowly, the benefits were big enough, and it was worth giving it a try.
"I agree. The artillery and beams you need can be provided."
Zhu Youde sighed in his heart, no matter how powerful Han Wugui, the military god, was in fighting, he probably wouldn't have imagined how terrifying a domestic thief could be.
No matter how talented you are, you are still unable to defeat the harm caused by a traitor.
Zhao Shanhe completed the task and left. Wang Zhonghou reminded Zhu Youde: "Your Majesty, the Yan people may not be trustworthy!"
"You can believe it this time!" Zhu Youde said with a smile: "Shanhaiguan is now in the hands of Han Wugui. The second prince of Yan Kingdom cannot hold it even if he defeats him. He is now cornered by Han Wuguili. What he needs is Han Wuguili.
I am guilty of retreating, only I, Daliang, can hold it. Of course, this second prince also wants to drag me, Daliang, into the water."
"The power of the Yan State in Hebei is not small. Once I take Shanhaiguan, Hebei will be the target of our Daliang. Han Wugui will also lose the assistance he received from Hebei. It will take several years for me to capture Hebei.
Time to digest!”
Zhu Youde sneered and said: "This second prince thinks that he can pacify the northern Yan Kingdom in just a few years. Without Shanhaiguan, the Yan Kingdom will still be a great power in the world as long as it is unified again."
Wang Zhonghou felt uneasy: "This person has such great ambitions."
"It doesn't matter if you have great ambitions. No one can stop the wheel of history."
Zhu Youde thought for a while and then wrote a decree to Wang Zhonghou: "Ask his confidants to be sent to Xuzhou, and ask the imperial concubine Deng Yu to send troops to capture Shanhaiguan. He appointed Lu Shengzhi as the general manager of Hebei Province. After Shanhaiguan is captured, all swallows in Hebei will be wiped out."
The country joined forces and asked Liang Zan to use the Yellow River as the border and lead a large army to attack Hebei and strangle all the Yan forces."
"yes!"
"I ordered Lu Shengzhi to inventory the acres of land in Hebei Province and divide the land. All landlords, aristocratic families, nobles, and powerful people who are unwilling to hand over their land and population will be exterminated."
Wang Zhonghou was trembling all over.
Zhu Youde turned around and said coldly: "What? You think I'm too cruel."
Wang Zhonghou said quickly: "I'm afraid it might harm Tianhe."
"Fucking Tianhe, the State of Yan has ruled Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Yanzhou in Hebei Province for more than fifty years. Some of the people among them still know that it is the land of Daliang. If the local nobles and powerful people did not follow the State of Yan wholeheartedly, they would
How to become a powerful person who follows the rules!"
Zhu Youde said: "Since you have no country in your heart, then go and die."
After that, Zhu Youde ignored Wang Zhonghou and summoned Feng Bogong and others to talk about the matter.
Feng Bogong's face was filled with surprise and he quickly congratulated Zhu Youde.
"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to capture Shanhaiguan. Your Majesty is truly blessed!"
Zhu Youde said: "This is a rare opportunity, so I have to take action. You just know this. You don't need to tell others. Once Shanhaiguan is captured, foreign Korea will declare war on East Vietnam!"
Feng Bogong was dumbfounded, Emperor, what are you doing? After taking Shanhaiguan, you should take the opportunity to attack Yan State.
"Your Majesty, Shanhaiguan is an important place. If Han Wuyun loses his land in Hebei after our occupation, he will definitely attack madly. The so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. Without other supplies, Han Wuyun's army will lose its foundation. He will not do it.
stop."
"So what if I don't know how to quit? Shanhaiguan was already in our hands at that time, can I still return it to him?"
Zhu Youde sneered and said: "If I send troops to attack Yan, he will be the first to be destroyed."
"..."
All right!
Feng Bogong didn't want to talk anymore. Emperor, you have said so, so what else can you say?
Zhu Youde's secret orders were sent out, and the situation in Hebei suddenly became tense.
Zhao Shanhe successfully obtained the artillery and other materials promised by Zhu Youde, and personally led the team back to Yan State by sea.
……………………………………………………
"His Majesty!"
Li Shuncheng walked with Zhu Youde on the road to Royal Jinling University with a smile, and he was very happy!
Unexpectedly, the emperor visited the university incognito today.
Wang Zhonghou looked at Li Shuncheng and felt that the man was smiling more flatteringly at Zhu Youde than he was.
After the secret transaction with Zhao Shanhe was completed, Zhu Youde made arrangements and just waited for the news.
Nothing else can do more.
The focus then returned to domestic matters.
I came to Jinling University today just to take a look and pay a visit to Li Shuncheng, the leader of the largest leading party in the Western Regions.
"Are you still getting used to life? If you're missing something, don't be polite. Just tell me!"
Li Shuncheng was so excited that his whole body was shaking. Emperor, you are so kind.
"Nothing is lacking, nothing is lacking. As long as His Majesty cares about me, I will be satisfied."
Really good at talking.
"Well, I have always felt that Daliang and the Western Regions are brotherly countries. You and other students from the Western Regions shoulder the important task of maintaining the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I am also willing to do my best to make the students from the Western Regions feel at home in Daliang."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We, the students, can bathe in His Majesty's grace. I am really grateful. We, the students, also think about Your Majesty all the time!"
Zhu Youde found to his surprise that when it comes to flattering, this guy is not far behind.
That's awesome. It's really gratifying that you are so shameless.
"What is your emperor doing now?"
"Gathering wool and weaving cloth."
"..."
So direct!
Li Shuncheng said: "Li Yuanchu is busy raising sheep now. He is the largest wool merchant in the Western Regions. He also ordered that all the wool in the country must be sold to him. It is so shameless. How can you compare it with Your Majesty? Your Majesty, the Western Regions'
Xungui is very dissatisfied with Li Yuanchu now and hopes to come and settle in Daliang."
"Li Yuanchu is fatuous and your Majesty should punish him!"
Zhu Youde's face twitched. Of course he was a shameless person, but this guy was even more shameless than himself. What the hell.
