Three hundred and seventieth chapters make things difficult
Chapter 376: Making Difficulties
Currently, there are five complete legions of Suzaku, Dongfang, Longqi, Yuzhou and Imperial Guards in the Holy Capital of Tiandu, as well as more than 10,000 remnants of the Qinglong Legion. However, there was a precedent for the Dragon Cavalry Legion to go to war privately, so Emperor Zhongxing
He is extremely distrustful. As for the remaining legions, only Suzaku and Dongfang Legion can fight. The Imperial Guard Legion has almost been rebuilt, and the Yuzhou Legion's combat effectiveness is extremely sparse. If you want to rely on these two legions to fight against the Holy Sect of Paradise,
, that was all a dream.
The total strength of the Holy Sect of Paradise is only 600,000, and there are more than 500,000 troops gathered in the Holy Capital of Tiandu. However, Emperor Zhongxing and the noble rice bugs still feel uneasy and want to mobilize troops from other places.
Xiang Xing said seriously: "The troops on Dahu Road cannot be mobilized. The current Tiandu Shengjing is like a big melon on a melon vine, and Dahu Road is now the only melon vine. If the melon vine is
If it is cut off, no matter how big the melon is, it will eventually wither. Without the food from Dahu Road to stabilize the people's hearts, even if Tiandu Shengjing can hold on for a while, it will not hold for a lifetime."
"Kinhua Mitsukoshi obviously has no good intentions. Mr. Jingnan can still barely support the overall situation of Dahu Road, but if His Majesty really mobilizes troops from Dahu Road to go north, Jinhua Mitsukoshi will definitely seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to go north. The Jiaolong Legion has already formed an entire army.
Although Duke Jingnan has natural dangers to help him, without the cooperation of the navy, he may be overwhelmed by the opponent's superior force and the defense line will eventually collapse." Huang Jie said very pertinently.
"Fifth brother, does your Caifeng have any information about Jinhua Mitsukoshi and the five tribes in southern Yunnan?" Liu Nanshang asked.
Liu Nanshu shook his head bitterly: "Your Majesty's hand has already reached into my Feng collecting system. The two deputy commanders have now become His Majesty's confidants. If I hadn't still had a certain prestige in the Feng collecting system, I'm afraid they would have been
He became deaf. However, the five tribes in southern Yunnan heard that they were also preparing to send envoys to negotiate peace with the empire. As long as the empire recognized their semi-independent status and never interfered with their internal affairs, diplomacy, and military deployment, they would submit to the empire and become vassals of the empire forever.
.”
The situation of the five tribes in southern Yunnan is not very good. They have the Song family in the north and the Jinhua in the south. It is indeed difficult to choose between the two powers. However, if the five tribes in southern Yunnan can work together, they may not be incapable of protecting themselves.
President Xiang sighed: "Peace negotiation, peace negotiation again. Your Majesty, he doesn't even think about it. If he negotiates peace now, let alone whether the other party has ulterior motives, it will be difficult for him to explain to the people of the country. Moreover, in this case
Once opened, the surrounding foreign races will definitely be able to see the empire's weakness, and they will definitely pounce on it even more fervently."
Ma Ying smiled bitterly and asked tentatively: "Do you think His Majesty will agree?"
The three Liu Nanqiu brothers lowered their heads, Xiang Xing remained silent, and Huang Jie gave a wry smile. It was obvious that they were not optimistic about Emperor Zhongxing's attitude.
"Short-sighted! Self-righteous! Just like his father!" Liu Nanqiu cursed fiercely with a livid face.
"The troops on Dahu Road must not be mobilized, otherwise the empire will perish!" Liu Nanshang looked around at everyone, and then said: "How about the six of us jointly write a letter to Duke Jingnan to explain the power of it and our opinions.
Duke Jingnan is a man who understands righteousness deeply, and he will definitely understand our thoughts."
The envoys of Jinhua Mitsukoshi came to Beijing at the same time. Emperor Zhongxing had no intention of entangled with Jinhua Mitsukoshi on both sides of the Xijiang River. Therefore, when the Jinhua Dynasty very vaguely expressed his care for the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan, Emperor Zhongxing hesitated and finally
He still agreed to the other party's request. For him, in remote areas like South Yunnan Road, the five ethnic groups who were originally the indigenous people of South Yunnan have always been self-proclaimed kings and have not followed the teachings at all. It can be said that it is a pity to abandon them in vain.
The Five Southern Tribes have never been convinced by the imperial court. Although they have sent envoys now, compared with Jinhua Mitsukoshi, Jinhua Mitsukoshi is more important after all. After weighing the balance, Emperor Zhongxing finally agreed to the other party's request. From then on.
In his heart, he also hopes that Jinhua can satisfy his appetite a little after acquiring the territory of the five southern Yunnan tribes. Of course, the five southern Yunnan tribes are not easy to deal with. Presumably their resistance will also restrain Jinhua in large numbers.
energy.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty actually agreed to Jinhua Mitsukoshi's request. Haha, it's just that he can't control his own country. I didn't expect that he would be reduced to the point where he could even cede his own land to others. He really put the face of our ancestors into shame.
It's all gone." When Haotian learned the news, he just smiled bitterly and threw the information into the trash can, his eyes full of worry.
The Song family's army seemed to have reached an agreement with the Qinchuan Li family. Although there were still more than 100,000 troops staying at the border between the two vassals, the Bai'er Army and 50,000 elite soldiers had already gathered in Yingyi Prefecture. Jinhua settled Qingfeng
relationship, and obtained hints from Emperor Zhongxing, the army will probably move into South Yunnan Road soon. If this is the case, then the Song family does not need to worry. But if the other party is not greedy enough and wants the entire South Yunnan Road, then the Song family and Jin
Conflict among flowers is inevitable. There is no absolute friendship, only absolute interests, that's it.
Li Tieming and Zhang Cangxiong started hoarding food almost at the same time. They did not believe in Jinhua Mitsukoshi's sincerity. From the perspective of mature people like them, this was just Jinhua Mitsukoshi's delaying strategy. If the imperial court really transferred people from Dahu Road
If the military strength is insufficient, the situation on the Great Lakes Road will inevitably be turbulent, and food may be in short supply. Therefore, they have now begun to strictly control the food trade within their territory.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that after Jinhua Mitsukoshi's envoy reached the final agreement with Emperor Zhongxing, just as he walked out of the palace, he was intercepted by two people who appeared from nowhere.
More than ten assassins were all assassinated. Those assassins were obviously very familiar with the patrol patterns of Tiandu Shengjing and the Forbidden Army. After assassinating more than fifty people in the mission, they actually escaped before the Forbidden Army came after hearing the news.
Then it quickly blended into the bustling night of Tiandu Shengjing, just like water droplets blending into the sea, leaving no trace at all.
"Bastard! More than twenty assassins actually assassinated more than fifty envoys under my nose, and not a single body was left behind. When has such a thing ever happened in Tiandu Shengjing? Emperor
Uncle, have you really not heard anything about this matter?" Emperor Zhongxing stared at Liu Nanshu fiercely, the anger in his eyes wishing to burn him to ashes.
Liu Nanshu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister of the collection of wind has been handed over to the two deputy commanders Hua Dexuan and Zhang Zhangmou. You know this. I have not intervened in the collection of wind for a long time. If your majesty wants to know the details, you may as well
Ask Hua Dexuan and Zhang Zhangmou."
Emperor Zhongxing naturally knew about this matter, and this was what he had instructed the two of them to do. However, now there is no news at all from the two of them. Being able to mobilize so many assassins with high martial arts skills in Tiandu Shengjing, they are familiar with the surrounding areas near the palace.
There are only a few people who have the ability to patrol the Forbidden Army regularly and keep it airtight after that. The original person in charge of the Caifeng System is firmly opposed to Liu Nan, who is negotiating peace with Jinhua Mitsukoshi.
Technique is naturally the most questionable object.
"Uncle Wang, do you really not know any news?" Emperor Zhongxing asked unwillingly.
Liu Nanshu smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, although I don't want to see the empire and Jinhua Mitsukoshi negotiate a peace, I can't do such a thing yet."
Emperor Zhongxing was furious in his heart, but he also understood that if he continued like this, he would not be able to ask any more questions, so he had to take a long breath: "Since this is the case, then Uncle Wang, please go down first. I am not doubting Uncle Wang, it's just that
This matter is of great importance, involving the face of my empire and the safety of the court ministers, so I am so angry. I hope you, Uncle Wang, will not take it to heart."
"I don't dare!" Liu Nanshu said neither humble nor overbearing.
Seeing Liu Nanshu trying to straighten his back and leave, Emperor Zhongxing frowned tightly: "There are many people who don't want to see the reconciliation between me and Jinhua Mitsukoshi, but they have the motivation and ability to do so.
There aren’t many, who is it?”
In the Jingbei Palace, Chu San and a group of subordinates just laughed and threw all the black clothes and black scarves in their hands into the fire. Although three people unfortunately died in the battle this time, they finally completed the task cleanly. Luo
Xiang's order was to leave no one alive, so naturally they would not let anyone go.
Luo Xiang naturally did not want to see the reconciliation between the imperial court and Jinhua Mitsukoshi, because then the Dahu Road would be dangerous. And the food reserves in Hetao are not enough now, so he must seize the time before a complete break with the empire to step up the purchase of food.
, and as the largest grain producing area in Qingfeng, Dahu Road must not have any problems now. Since Dahu Road cannot have problems, then we can only let these envoys die. Their death may not change the overall situation, but at least they can fight for the Hetao
More time for food shopping.
As Luo Xiang expected, although the envoy of Mitsukoshi was assassinated by him, Mitsukoshi soon sent the envoy again and refused to give up until the goal was achieved.
"Don't worry about the dirty things in Tiandu Shengjing. Sir, Yelu Canghai's envoys have arrived. You are responsible for contacting them with full authority. Military advisor, please pay more attention to the movements of the Holy Sect of Paradise. We have solved the problem of more than 100,000 Northeastern soldiers.
, we need the camera to return to Hetao. However, I am afraid that the Holy Sect of Paradise will make big moves recently, so we must be careful and vigilant." Haotian ordered in a deep voice.
Luo Xiang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my lord, all the negotiation matters have been settled. The specific exchange location is Huayuan Ferry in Luozhou, which will be supervised by our 10,000 navy troops in the Hetao."
Haotian was still worried and said: "Sir, it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I have a very bad feeling that something big is going to happen in the near future. Military advisor, you should pay close attention to the movements of the Holy Sect of Paradise, especially
Their troop deployment and troop movement."
The second batch of Jinhua Mitsukoshi's mission has not yet arrived at the Holy Capital of Tiandu, but the 300,000 troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise have already gathered in the Shouzhou area. The Guarding Guard Corps and the Yan Elegy Corps are stationed in Meizhou to prevent the Hetao army from plagiarizing their hometown on Yangzhou Road
.However, Yan Lege has been relieved of his military duties, so the current Yan Lege Corps is headed by Ye Hengsheng, the military supervisor, and Yan Lege temporarily acts as Zhu Zhao's personal soldier. The Pinglang Corps is stationed in Raozhou to deal with Tiandu.
Threat from Shengjing. Cheng Xianqing personally led the Bingheng Army, Zhu Zhao Army and Minghui Army, as well as the 20,000 Paradise Guards formed from the elites of each army and personally stationed in Shouzhou.
Zhang Cangxiong didn't know where the opponent's attack target was, but if the Holy Sect of Paradise attacked Huaishui now, there was a high probability that Huaishui would not be able to support it. But even so, Zhang Cangxiong still concentrated almost all the troops in Huaishui to Pingzhou
In the east, prepare to fight head-on with the Holy Sect of Paradise. Of course, Zhang Cangxiong's request for reinforcements has already been sent to the Holy Capital of Heaven. But this time the court suppressed King Weiyuan's request as usual, and Zhang Cangxiong was furious. In the end, he still
Liu Nanshang was righteous. After all, he and Zhang Cangxiong had been comrades for a while. Zhang Cangxiong took care of him when the Suzaku Corps was resting in Huai River. This time Zhang Cangxiong was in trouble. Although he did not dare to mobilize troops privately, he mobilized the Suzaku Corps.
The junction of Tiandu Shengjing and the Huai River, coupled with Zhang Cangzong's 40,000 navy near Danzhou and the 20,000 garrison in Danzhou City, can at least keep Danzhou safe. This is the capital of the Huai River, and the Zhang family almost
All valuable property and most of the food and grass are piled in Danzhou City. If there is a problem here, the Zhang family will not need to fight again.
Haotian, the son-in-law, obviously did not forget the dangerous situation of his father-in-law. Although he was very busy with the hostage exchange, Haotian still sent an envoy to clearly tell Zhang Cangxiong that if the Holy Sect of Paradise once marched to the west of Huai River,
The Hetao army will definitely rush to help at all costs. After hearing Haotian's promise, Zhang Cangxiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone in this world may not keep their word, but Haotian is definitely not among them.
Ji Le's 300,000 troops gathered in Shouzhou, but several days passed in a flash, and there was no movement at all. However, the 100,000 Dongbo Navy were all concentrated on the river. It was not just Zhang Cangxiong who was worried now.
Even Li Tieming is a little worried. The Zhang family's navy is in the Danzhou area, and the Li family's navy is near Tiandu Shengjing. The only navy on the river is the 20,000-strong navy of the Song family on Yizhou Road. But the Li family's navy
The navy is stationed at Baidi City on the upper reaches of the river. Moreover, even if the Dongwa Navy really attacks Huai River and the Li family, the Song family navy will never be dispatched. As a last resort, Zhang Cangxiong and Li Tieming had to garrison in the area along the river.
A certain army.
Jinhua Mitsukoshi acted very quickly. In less than seven days, the new mission had arrived in the Holy Capital of Tiandu and re-signed the previous agreement with Emperor Zhongxing. This time, Emperor Zhongxing specially asked An to protect the safety of these envoys.
Yongchang personally escorted him to the Pingzhou area, and then let him return to the south bank of the Xijiang River by his own way.
