"The most lacking thing in Hetao now is talent. Xiaotian has risen too fast. Although he has some talents, if the territory expands, I'm afraid there will still be a shortage of manpower." Chu Xiangcheng sighed, the ruthless and murderous man just now
The old man suddenly became kind again: "So I hope to see if we can regain the Northwest Second Road first or occupy more territory south of the Yinfeng Mountains. Although my students are not of much use now,
As long as you hone yourself for a period of time, you should be able to develop your talent."
"It's a little difficult south of the Yinfeng Mountains, but on the Northwest Second Road, if you plan well, it's not impossible." Luo Xiang nodded and said, "Xiangcheng, you have to pay more attention to food this time.
It’s another big move, so be prepared for danger in times of peace.”
Chu Xiangcheng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, all the military supplies and food in Hetao are under my control. Xiaotian doesn't know the details. I know all of this."
"That's good. We've been waiting for twenty years, and it's easy for Xiaotian to grow up and be successful, but we can't stop here." Luo Xiang said as he walked out of the hall, while Chu Xiangcheng sat silently.
Sitting on the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, he looked melancholy.
When Haotian and others learned the news, various forces in Tiandu Shengjing also got the news that Cheng Xianqing had raised troops to rebel, and they knew about it earlier than Haotian in Hetao.
"The navy of Dongwa, led by General Kato Takashi, entered the Yangzhou section of the river, looked at the Jiaolong Legion of Commander He Huairen from afar, and then left on its own."
"The Bliss Rebel Cheng Xianqing has completely taken control of Yangzhou Road, and has stationed 80,000 troops in Ningzhou and Meizhou along the Yangzhou Road, led by the Bliss Rebel Pinglang, to confront our Eastern Army."
"The traitor Cheng Xianqing assembled an army of 150,000 and moved to Linzhou, across the river from Jiangnan Road. The commander of the Suzaku Army, Han Fu, has personally led the Suzaku Army to Jiangzhou."
"On the north bank of the river's defense line, the three northeastern countries are ready to move. The Ministry of Finance and Economics is building a ferry in the middle and upper reaches of the river. It seems that they have the intention of crossing the river to the south."
"The main force of the Jinhua Dynasty and the Mitsuki Allied Forces has shifted from Dahu Road to South Yunnan Road. Shu Fenghua, the leader of the Jing tribe, and Shui Zheng, the head of the Keshui tribe, jointly submitted a letter asking for help."
Above the court, envelopes of encrypted information flowed into the hands of Emperor Yinglie like running water. Every time he heard a secret report, the expression on Emperor Yinglie's face became more solemn. By the end, it was already clouded. And Cai Feng
The head of the system, Uncle Huang Shu, Liu Nanshu, was dripping with cold sweat.
"My dear friends, after listening to so much information, I wonder what you think?" Sitting on the dragon chair, the heroic emperor said sadly. The ministers below were silent, including the heads of the three major families and
An Yongchang's face was expressionless, while Pang Ye's whole face looked sad.
"Why aren't you talking? Don't you usually talk freely? Why are you all mute when I need to use you? What use do I want you to do!" Emperor Yinglie roared angrily, with both hands
With eyes blazing, he wished he could drag down all the corpses of the ministers below and behead them all. However, many officials and ministers of various ministries, who usually like to talk empty talk and find fault with the emperor and the court for fun, all responded in unison.
He shut his mouth so quickly that he no longer had the courage to look into Emperor Yinglie's eyes. When he saw Emperor Yinglie looking over, he quickly lowered his head.
Seeing such a situation, Emperor Yinglie was even more angry, but he restrained his anger to some extent. After all, these matters would still need to be handled by the following officials. Trying to calm down, he said: "It seems
Today is full of bad news, uncle, is there any good news? Let’s read it first.”
Liu Nanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with an open mouth: "Back to the emperor, the three nomadic tribes occupying the Second Northwest Road each reduced their garrisons due to the approaching cold winter. Now the three northwest tribes are on Anxi Road and Hexi Road.
The total number of troops stationed is about 250,000."
"Oh, in this case, the pressure on the Hetao will be reduced a lot." Emperor Yinglie thought to himself, but it is not surprising that the nomadic people reduce their standing troops in winter. After all, in order to survive the winter, they have to focus their main energy
Looking for a suitable pasture. And their actions this time obviously have the meaning of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Since Haotian can even send troops to Jinzhou with millions of laborless burdens in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, now Qingfeng
As the situation in the southeast worsens, Haotian will never sit back and watch. It is not a bad thing to let the Holy Sect and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty consume the strength of Hetao. Although this is good news, it does not have much influence on the current situation of the empire.
Great impact. He sighed in his heart, and the heroic emperor had to look at Pang Ye and others below.
Seeing that the heroic emperor's gaze remained on him, Pang Ye felt uneasy in his heart, but he had to go out and say: "Your Majesty, although the three Northeastern countries are strengthening their troops north of the river, their purpose is nothing more than
Delaying our military strength prevents us from fully suppressing the rebellion. The Dahe defense line is stationed by the navy of our Jiaolong Legion and the Qinglong Northern Legion. There will definitely be no problem. Although the Jinhua and Mitsukoshi coalition forces in the south are now powerful, the Southern Yunnan Road
The surface of the land is rugged, densely covered with mountains and forests, and the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan have thrived here for hundreds of years, so they still have a certain foundation. Besides, Mr. Jingnan is old and strong, so he will be fine in the future. The most critical thing is Jiangnan Road. If Jiangnan is lost,
That will definitely cause our country to lose its most important tax land, and food production will become even more scarce, and the nearby Dahu Road will definitely make people panic. Therefore, we must mobilize all our forces to ensure the safety of Jiangnan Road."
"Your Majesty, what the Imperial Preceptor said is true. Yangzhou Road has been occupied, and we must act quickly. The current plan is to block the path of the Bliss rebels going south and limit their harm to the seven states on Yangzhou Road."
An Yongchang also came out and said.
Emperor Yinglie was very surprised. He had expected Pang Ye to come out, but he didn't expect An Yongchang to be so enthusiastic. He then asked: "Ai Qing is right. But our military strength is beyond what we can make ends meet. We simply can't make ends meet."
There are no extra troops, so it is imperative to secure Jiangnan. But I don’t know where Ai Qing thinks we should allocate troops?”
"Issuing the Order of King Qin." An Yongchang said without changing his expression. As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly burst into excitement, and everyone's expressions changed, even Pang Ye and the other three were no exception.
To be specific, King Qin's Order means that when the country is in crisis, the emperor issues an order to allow various princes to mobilize their forces and concentrate them in the hands of the emperor, and then resist foreign enemies under the unified arrangement of the court. Generally speaking, King Qin's Order is issued in the last years of an empire.
happened, and once King Qin’s Order was promulgated, it meant that this empire had come to an end. Eight hundred years ago, the King of Qin Dynasty issued the Order of King Qin for the first time, and then it was replaced by the Han Empire. More than six hundred years ago, the Empire once dominated the world.
The all-powerful Han Empire also issued the King Qin Order, and then the national destiny was inherited by the Tang Dynasty. Three hundred years ago, Emperor Ai, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, issued the King Qin Order, and the Qingfeng Empire rose from the ruins of the Tang Dynasty. However, there are exceptions to everything.
Years ago, Emperor Wu Lie issued the King Qin Order, and the three major aristocratic families and the Bloody Plateau were ordered to go to the capital to serve the King. This not only eliminated the internal troubles of the empire, but also achieved the resurgence of the empire. The three major aristocratic families and the Bloody Plateau have become famous as Jianshan Villa, etc. It is because of this
This military achievement made his status more stable. That's why everyone was so surprised when An Yongchang proposed to issue King Qin's order.
"The empire has not yet issued the order of King Qin." The mature and prudent Sima Angelica hesitated and said.
"Then when does the grand master think it is time to obey the king's order? Should he wait for the fall of Jiangnan or the capture of the imperial capital? The empire now has no troops to mobilize, but the three princes and the Marquis of Jingbei still control hundreds of thousands of troops each.
Rather than letting these troops die of old age in the territory, it is better to let them contribute to the country. I wonder what your princes think?" An Yongchang said loudly.
"Of course, I only obey the orders of the Emperor. As citizens of the Heavenly Dynasty, how can I sit back and watch the country perish without caring about the life and death of the people? As long as the Emperor gives the order, I will definitely be willing to fight on the battlefield for the Emperor." Zhang Cang
Xiong and the other three people all stood up and said. The three people's faces were full of sincerity, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
"In that case, please give the emperor an order to have the Yellow Turban Army and the Navy on the Huai River Road immediately go south to the Jiangnan Road to assist Han Fu, the Marquis of Liyun, in defending Jiangnan. The White'er Army on the Yizhou Road immediately go south to the South Yunnan Road to assist Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jing Zhongxie
Defense line against the Xijiang River. The Red Eyebrow Army on Qinchuan Road marched eastward to Yuzhou Road to assist Emperor Liu Nan in crossing the river to defend the river." An Yongchang said without changing his expression.
An Yongchang seemed to have been well prepared today, and both of his speeches were very controversial. Zhang Cangxiong, Li Tieming, and Song Zhengfeng all had bad intentions regarding Jiangnan, Yuzhou, and southern Yunnan. However, at this time, no one was willing to
Their own troops are mobilized from the territory. For the three major families, it is naturally the most satisfying thing to wait until the imperial army and the rebels fight to the death, and then reap the benefits. Although the royal family is declining now, they still have some
There are five regular legions, two newly formed legions, a navy legion and hundreds of thousands of local garrisons. Among the military, not to mention the old and strong Tie Zhen, there are Ouyang Jingzhong, Han Fu, Xiang Xing and others below.
People are not efficient lamps. The centipede is dead but not stiff. Naturally, the three major families are unwilling to send troops so early.
The heroic emperor is in a difficult situation. Now the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, and its military strength is stretched thin. If the three major families send troops, they will naturally be able to contain all fronts. But after the war stabilizes, the three major families will inevitably take advantage of the magpie's nest. In this way, they can resist the tiger at the front door.
The Emperor Yinglie was also particularly troubled by the issue of wolves entering through the back door. However, if the feudal town did not send troops, the imperial court's military strength would not be able to resist the pressure from all fronts. Especially the Holy Sect of Paradise entrenched on Yangzhou Road, since these ignorant people have become
If the climate is not careful, it will cause a prairie fire. Moreover, they are also very familiar with the local environment, and with the help of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, if they insist on sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how brave Han Fu's Suzaku Legion is, they may not be able to survive.
Can't hold on for long.
"Your Majesty, now that the country is in a critical situation, we should ask the three princes to send troops as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, the Shenzhou Sheji will not be protected." Pang Ye came out and said.
Emperor Yinglie was horrified, because he suddenly understood what Pang Ye meant. If the three major families did not send troops, the existing military strength of the imperial court would definitely not be able to resist the prying eyes of the surrounding wolves. With the nature of the alien race, waiting for them to occupy China, in order to
To prevent possible revenge from the people of China, they will definitely massacre the people desperately, just like what the three Northeastern countries did in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. If that is really the case, not only Qingfeng will lose the national destiny, but also China will have
They may face the disaster of annihilation. If the three major families send out troops immediately, even if Qingfeng is destroyed, the people who will succeed them will still be the people of China. Facing these people of the same clan and race, they will definitely not sit idly by.
A touch of complicated emotions flashed across the eyes of the heroic emperor. His fingers tapped the handguard of the dragon chair rhythmically. His face was also uncertain. After a long time, a look of determination finally appeared on his face: "Now it concerns me.
The survival of our clan is in danger, how can I ignore the common people in the world because of my own selfishness? The three princes and uncles immediately sent out troops, and also informed Jingbei Hou Haotian, the governor of Hetao, to send troops to the south immediately if he has spare strength."
When Chu Xiangcheng received the imperial edict from Emperor Yinglie, it was already the fourth day of the Bliss Rebellion. However, Chu Xiangcheng did not report it immediately after receiving the imperial edict on the grounds that Haotian's inspection of Fengling Ferry failed.
Haotian instead notified Luo Xiangxuanji, Chu Xiangcheng, Xue Sha and other military generals. After a debate over their livelihood, Haotian reported the matter to Haotian.
"Since His Majesty has issued a decree, we must send troops as soon as possible. I wonder if you have any objections?" He rushed back to Yanzhou from Shizhou, and Haotian immediately held a meeting.
"My subordinates also believe that it is imperative to send troops. If the rebels capture Jiangnan Road, it will not only increase their strength, but also destroy hundreds of years of accumulation in our country. Therefore, we must destroy the Paradise Saint
The sect's power is limited to Yangzhou Road, and then all forces are gathered to annihilate them in one fell swoop." Chu Xiangcheng took the lead in saying.
Haotian's eyebrows furrowed: "Master Chu seems to have something to say. The people here are all our loyal people in Hetao. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."
Xuanji and others all smiled in their hearts. They had already discussed it, and the only obstacle was Haotian. Seeing his words, Xuanji quickly pretended to be respectful and said: "It is the duty of the lord to go south to quell the chaos.
However, the Bliss Rebellion is not a trivial matter and cannot be quelled in three to five months. Moreover, our army is on an expedition alone. If we cannot sort out the internal affairs of our Hetao before going south, my subordinates will worry that the aliens from outside the Great Wall will take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
