In the evening, Xue Qingcheng and Zhang Yuewan also came back. After hearing what happened today, Haotian originally thought that the two of them would scold him, but unexpectedly, the two of them comforted him with gentle words. Haotian was very surprised, but
It’s not easy to ask.
Xue Qingcheng and Zhang Yuewan are both understanding people. The current situation in the Hetao has become very clear. Whether Haotian proclaims himself emperor and goes south or becomes the king of Hebei, the Hetao will no longer be subject to the constraints of the Qingfeng Empire. The relationship between the Hetao and the Qingfeng royal family has already
The reversal began. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the southern expedition in Hetao will be a matter of time. Anyway, they have no good impression of these powerful people in Tiandu Shengjing, and with the current strength of Hetao, there is no need to pay attention to these people who have only false names.
The princes and nobles. However, they all agreed with Haotian's proposal to return to the front line of Luozhou as soon as possible. After all, they were not on their own territory, so these two powerful women were naturally a little uneasy.
Early the next morning, Haotian went to the palace to visit Emperor Zhongxing. Emperor Zhongxing was discussing with An Yongchang and others the conflict between Hetao and King Zhenjing and others yesterday. Since yesterday was his coronation ceremony, the whole day was busy
It is impossible to talk about it, so until now, there is still time to deal with this matter.
An Yongchang's body is still dark and strong, and his eyes are as bright as ever: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Hetao is now very powerful, and we still have a lot to rely on. Now is not the time to break with the other party. Nothing else.
He said that if the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss cannot be eradicated by taking advantage of this opportunity, then the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss is likely to make a comeback. And the only armies that the court can mobilize now are the Suzaku Army, the Yuzhou Army and the Eastern Army, and the Dragon Cavalry Army is no longer reliable.
With such a force alone, the best we can do is protect ourselves."
Han Qian took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, but Haotian has gone too far to deceive others. Yesterday was a great day for Your Majesty to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but he was so good at unleashing the blood light in the Holy Capital of Heaven. This is a sign of your Majesty's disgrace.
A blatant provocation." His only son Han Wei had an arm chopped off by Liu Chaoting himself yesterday. He naturally understood that Liu Chaoting did this for his own good, otherwise Haotian would have killed someone on the spot, and the debt would naturally be recorded on Haotian.
Emperor Zhongxing was also extremely annoyed. However, firstly, Haotian was indeed right, and secondly, because the Hetao was so powerful, even he had to think about it carefully. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhongxing said coldly to Han Cheng: "
Han Qing, this matter was indeed initiated by your son and the Prince of Zhenjing and others. The King of Jingbei was born as a soldier, and his temper is naturally strong. After you return, you should educate your son well. It is best not to be as domineering as before.
"
Han Chuang quickly nodded in agreement, but he also heard the meaning in Emperor Zhongxing's tone, which was that he was extremely dissatisfied with Haotian. However, the current situation did not allow Emperor Zhongxing to turn his back.
Emperor Zhongxing had a gloomy face and turned his attention to An Yongchang. Although Haotian had told him that An Yongchang was a Japanese spy, Emperor Zhongxing was already suspicious of Haotian, and An Yongchang was his most important person in many years.
A staunch supporter of An Yongchang, and there was no doubt about An Yongchang in his own investigation. Therefore, Emperor Zhongxing still trusted An Yongchang. After all, An Yongchang's talent was on the same level as the three pillars who had died for the country.
.
"An Aiqing, King Jingbei will definitely come to see you today. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
An Yongchang replied without hesitation: "Just brush it off. No matter how you explain this matter, it will hurt the face of both parties. Therefore, the best way is not to say it. But King Jingbei stays in the Holy Capital of Tiandu like this
It is not a good thing. It is best for him to return to the front line of Yuzhou Road as soon as possible to launch an attack on the Paradise Alliance as soon as possible. Although the Paradise Alliance suffered heavy losses some time ago, its strength is still there, and the Paradise Holy Sect now has 600,000 troops, and there is no peace.
The Northern King's army is suppressing the front, and the pressure from Tiandu Shengjing is too great. And we must reorganize the army in the shortest time and march to Yangzhou Road as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Paradise Alliance is allowed to take a breather, I, Qingfeng, will be in danger
.”
Emperor Zhongxing smiled bitterly: "Reorganize the army in the shortest time? How to rectify it? Both the Green Dragon Army and the Imperial Guard Army have been crippled, and the two armies are just putting up a show. Replenishing these two armies to full strength, the national treasury will immediately
It is more than half empty. And it will not take more than three to five days for these two legions to form combat effectiveness. The Eastern Legion is a good example, but if it becomes the original Northern Legion, it will be a disaster.
The Yuzhou Legion is only half-assed now, and the Dragon Cavalry Legion is unreliable. However, if we don’t replenish our troops, how can we fight against the Paradise Alliance?"
An Yongchang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Holy Sect of Paradise must be pacified. The empire's finances only rely on Dahu Road and Tiandu Shengjing, which are completely unable to support such huge expenditures. Yangzhou Road and Jiangnan Road are now the territory of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
The people in those lands were either killed or fled in all directions, and most of the land has become ownerless. If we can recover these two places, then we can auction these lands to replenish our depleted finances."
Emperor Zhongxing nodded. This is a very good idea. However, the Paradise Alliance currently has close to one million troops south of the river. The 300,000 elite troops in Hetao can block the Northeastern Alliance Army. The combat effectiveness of his army varies greatly.
Together, and it is impossible to send out all of them. The other party, the Holy Bliss Sect, may have no chance of winning.
An Yongchang obviously saw what Emperor Zhongxing was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty can promise the Li family of Qinchuan that if the army regains Yangzhou Road, Luozhou and Qiuzhou to the west of Yuzhou Road can be given over. As for
King Weiyuan of Huai River said that when the time comes, he will fully assist him in taking back the two states east of Huai River and will never interfere in the internal affairs of Huai River."
Emperor Zhongxing said with some worry: "It's okay to help King Weiyuan, but giving up Luozhou Qiuzhou on Yuzhou Road to the Qinchuan Li family is going too far."
An Yongchang said quickly: "The Li family's combat effectiveness is very good, but if they don't have enough chips, the Li family will definitely not take the initiative to send troops. As for Luozhou and Qiuzhou, the Hetao army has been entrenched here for so long, at least Luozhou has fallen
It is under their control. Even if we take back Luozhou by then, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to uproot the power of the Hetao. Your Majesty, don't forget that the Hetao is our biggest enemy."
Seeing Emperor Zhongxing's silence, An Yongchang continued: "Your Majesty, the resurgence of the royal family is a very long process. The Zhang family is declining but not defeated, the Li family and the Song family are proud of themselves, and Hetao is aggressive. We can't fight with them now.
We can compete head-on. But after taking back Yangzhou Road and Jiangnan Road, the situation is completely different. As long as we take back these two places, our finances can solve at least half of it. And with the population resources of Dahu Road and Tiandu Shengjing, we can
The strength will definitely be greatly enhanced. King Jingbei has the late emperor’s edict and will definitely send troops to regain the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. At that time, we can take advantage of the opportunity and defeat them one by one."
Emperor Zhongxing nodded. An Yongchang is indeed a talent. Fortunately, he didn't listen to Haotian's advice to kill him, otherwise he wouldn't even have a real talent around him. It's a pity that all three pillars died for the country, otherwise he would
The strength will inevitably be stronger.
At this time, it happened that Haotian was paying an audience. Emperor Zhongxing had something in mind, so he sent An Yongchang and others aside to meet Haotian alone. Haotian had originally intended to return to the front line of Yuzhou Road, and Emperor Zhongxing also thought the same.
, after briefly explaining what happened yesterday, the Assistant King agreed to Haotian's request.
"Hao Aiqing, the Bliss Alliance was newly founded. It was a time when the army was striking while the iron was hot. Unfortunately, the imperial court failed to catch up, and the main army suffered heavy losses. Although efforts have been made to restore the organization and strive to return to the original level as soon as possible, there are still no one or two
It is simply impossible to do it in a few months. Therefore, during this period, your task will not be easy. You need to firmly block the Elysium Alliance to the south of the river and prevent them from escaping to the west. I
We will also try our best to contact the army of King Jingxi of Qinchuan, and together with King Weiyuan of Huai River, we will march eastward to Yangzhou Road." Emperor Zhongxing said harmoniously.
Haotian said quickly: "I will definitely live up to my trust and do my best to contain the Paradise Alliance Army."
Emperor Zhongxing smiled happily: "In that case, I look forward to your good news."
Haotian said nothing and left the palace after kneeling down. On the way back to the Jingbei Palace, Haotian didn't say a word and just let out a long sigh.
Tiandu Shengjing is still as prosperous as ever. Even though the outside world has been turned upside down, the people in the city are still living their lives. However, the years of war have not had no impact on them. At least, the shops and restaurants on both sides of the road are better than Hao
The first time I came to Tiandu Shengjing, it was a lot quieter. Thinking that these two days were the happy days of Emperor Zhongxing, Tiandu Shengjing should have been crowded with pedestrians, but except for a few main streets, there were no
The few places were relatively bland, and Haotian couldn't help but sigh again. It seemed that Yanzhou and Dingzhou were much more lively than Tiandu Shengjing.
When passing by Huanglong Street, Haotian suddenly remembered the night when he came to Tiandu Shengjing for the first time. It was here that he met the assassins of the Bliss Holy Cult and was rescued by Sheng Lanxin and Xian Lianchen. Of course,
There was also Xue Qingcheng who was arching with his back to the moon. It was that night that he formed an alliance with Tianwu Xinghe, and Xian Lianchen began to follow him. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. That little boy from back then
The somewhat young Haotian has matured, and the strength of the Hetao has become stronger and stronger. However, the Hetao has not yet been put in the eyes of the imperial court and the three major families. But now, no matter which force it is, it is powerful
The incomparable Northeastern Three Kingdoms, Hetao also has enough capital to overlook.
From that time on, Hetao actually established its own civil and military team, including the five most powerful generals in the world, the three great counselors who strategized the victory over thousands of miles, talented local officials such as Lin Taiyue, Wei He, Xiahou Zheng Chengen, Situ Liechun Sword Reward Li Xiaojiang Shen
Brave generals like Zhou, Wu Xiaolangjun and other young talents who push the waves ahead of the waves behind the Yangtze River, and more than 200,000 elite cavalry on the bloody plateau who are invincible in the world. Such a powerful force can sweep the world and contain the inner world, and can dominate the Hebei enfeoffment after retreating.
Split the earth. If you are angry, you dare to kill the gods. If you are angry, you can defy heaven. No wonder Emperor Zhongxing treated himself like this.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace." The humble voice of the chariot came from outside the carriage, and Haotian realized that he had already returned to Jingbei Palace because of his distraction.
"Husband, are you worried?" The first person to greet him was Qiu Mu. After all, she is one of the top ten heroes in China. Although she was too crazy that night, her recovery ability is still very strong. However, it only took two days.
Therefore, Xin Jiao did not let her do anything, so Qiu Mu had no choice but to continue writing her Secret History of China. She was a little tired from sitting just now, so she went out for a walk, and happened to meet Haotian, who looked a little confused.
Haotian smiled slightly, took Qiu Mu's jade hand, and said as he walked: "Why did you come out so soon? Didn't I let you have a good rest for two days?"
Qiu Mu said reluctantly: "I have been lying in bed all day, and my bones are almost soft from lying down, so I just want to come out for some air."
A woman's temperament does change after she gets married. Just like Qiu Mu, Qiu Mu used to be a smart and eccentric girl, but now, although she is a little less eccentric, she is more of a mature woman.
Her breath has become more feminine, and she has become more coquettish.
Haotian just smiled, held Qiu Mu's little hand, and walked into the hall step by step. Suddenly, Haotian whispered to Qiu Mu: "Qiu Mu, you said that after I return to Hetao, I will take good care of my Hebei Fifth Road and
Hetao, how about being an unscrupulous King of Jingbei?"
Qiu Mu was shocked, and he didn't even notice that his feet hit the steps. Haotian quickly stretched out his hands to support Qiu Mu.
Qiu Mu said in surprise: "Hasn't my lord always wanted to pacify the world, free the people from the war, and revive our country?"
Haotian smiled bitterly: "The emperor is very jealous of me, and the court is now in a state of decay. I am really worried that even if I pacify the world, the people of the world will be better off than they are now? Look at Tiandu Sheng
These powerful children in the capital, maybe their lives will be even worse by then. Originally this was just a hazy thought, but today, it suddenly became much stronger. Qiu Mu, you said that I will never return to Hetao again.
Is it a good idea to ignore the fighting south of the river?"
"Aren't you going to avenge your parents?" Qiu Mu blurted out, but as soon as the words came out, he knew that he had made a mistake and quickly shut his mouth.
Haotian smiled bitterly: "Forget it, don't look so sad. You, like Mr., have a tight mouth. If you don't want to say it, I can't pry your mouth open."
