Nan Jiyun looked at the empty Bohai Sea and didn't understand what Zhang Duanyang was talking about.
Zhang Duanyang pointed at the Bohai Sea and said: "Nanlang, don't look at the Bohai Sea and its width. In fact, it only takes five days to cross the sea from here to Youzhou. If we set up a factory and build ships in Qingzhou, we won't be able to go straight to Huanglong and attack Anshi.
Is this the old thief’s lair?”
Nan Jiyun was stunned for a moment, this was a path he had never thought of!
But is it really feasible to attack across the sea from Qingzhou?
Of course Zhang Duanyang knew it was possible. In normal history, after Pinglu Wang Xuanzhi killed the Xu family and his son, he quickly returned to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty immediately gave Wang Xuanzhi the Jingjie and asked him to lead the Pinglu army to attack Shi Siming's rear.
.
But as the players expected, the combat effectiveness of the Pinglu Army was too weak, and it was no match for Shi Siming's elite opponents.
In the normal timeline of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuanzhi was defeated and killed. His lieutenant general Hou Xiyi built a ship and crossed the sea and came to Qingzhou. After killing the Qingzhou thieves, the court still named him the military envoy of the Pinglu Army, but he commanded the Qingzhou area.
.
Since we can cross the sea from Pinglu to Qingzhou, we can naturally cross the sea from Qingzhou to Fanyang.
However, the prerequisite for Zhang Duanyang's strategic judgment to be valid is that the Tang army and An Qingxu would face off in the northern part of Henan Province for a long time.
However, Zhang Duanyang's prediction was correct. Guo Ziyi and An Qingxu launched a battle in the northern part of Henan Province, and both sides made preparations for a long-term confrontation.
An Qingxu received the reward from the envoy. Shi Siming, an old fox, did not want Anyang City, but was willing to secretly fund An Qingxu's grain and grass.
Angry, An Qingxu drew out his sword and chopped off a corner of the table. Cui Youqian, who saw this scene, quickly admonished:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Shi Siming, an old thief, is willing to provide food and grass, which means it can still be used."
An Qingxu touched the sword and said, "I had just succeeded to the throne that day, and I was going to kill Shi Siming and his son, the traitors. At that time, Yan Zhuang stopped me, saying that the morale of the army was unstable."
"Now that the thief Yan Zhuang has surrendered to the Tang family, if you think about it carefully, could it be that Shi Siming was responsible for bribing Yan Zhuang and fled back to Hedong on purpose?"
"Hedong is the foundation of my father's army, but now it is in the hands of outsiders. If I want some food and grass, I have to beg from the Shi family thieves. What's the truth?"
Cui Youqian did not dare to speak. With An Qingxu's series of military victories, An Qingxu's reputation in the army became higher and higher.
Cui Youqian didn't dare to contradict him anymore, so he said: "Why don't we go to Hedong, Your Majesty? Is it possible that Shi Siming can tie us up and offer them to the Tang family?"
"Go back to Hedong? With the few soldiers we have and no food, grass or weapons, should we go back and be Shi Siming's puppet?"
An Qingxu said calmly: "Hedong is just in charge of the old thief Shi Siming. I can take it back sooner or later. Now the top priority is to defeat the old dog Guo Ziyi first. If we can retake Luoyang, we can win over Dayan again."
banner!"
Cui Youqian quickly agreed.
Next, the Tang army and the puppet Yan army began to fight back and forth inch by inch near Heyin County.
Neither side dared to invest too much force and were careful to test the strength of the other side.
Although the overall intensity was not high, the local competition was fierce and the cries of killing could be heard in Luoyang City.
However, Zhang Xun, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, showed his ability as a defensive master. Zhang Xun ordered soldiers to shuttle at the city gates and main roads, making the Tang army appear to have sufficient troops and calming the morale of the Luoyang army.
In addition, the people in Luoyang City are also being evacuated out of the city. If the rebels really besiege the city, a large number of people will become a burden, which will cause turmoil in the morale of the military and the people.
In addition, Zhang Xun personally led people to inspect and strengthen the city wall every day, and formulated a strict city defense plan.
Since the beginning of martial law and guarding the city, the old scholar also put on armor and personally took the lead in patrolling the city wall.
With Zhang Xun's actions, the people of Luoyang City were finally suppressed.
Although the war was tense, the walled city built by Guo Ziyi also blocked An Qingxu's southward army, and the Tang court finally recovered from the panic.
The war became protracted, and a large amount of manpower and material resources were transferred to Luoyang.
Li Heng finally figured out the situation of the war. He once again granted Guo Ziyi the position of Grand Marshal of the National Army and allowed Guo Ziyi to open a palace and coordinate the war against An Qingxu.
He also ordered the reinstated Shence Army envoy and eunuch Li Fuguo to lead 30,000 Shence Army elites to Heyin to support Guo Ziyi.
The war situation temporarily calmed down, and the emperor did not mention the dispatch of the Yue King's army to enter the pass.
After the brief alliance between the Crown Prince and the King of Qi, as Li Fuguo led his troops to leave Chang'an City, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi began to fight again.
But this time the trigger was Wu Qi, who had just arrived in Chang'an to serve as Duzhilang.
Duzhilang was called the "Ji Xiang" by Chang'an officials. He managed the imperial treasury. Although his rank was not high, he had great power.
Wu Qi was promoted to Duzhilang because he had connections with the Eastern Palace. The officials of Qi King Li's family naturally regarded him as belonging to the prince's faction.
Since Wu Qi took office, officials from the King of Qi's line began to continuously attack Wu Qi.
In particular, Wu Qi served as the envoy of Jianghuai Renting and the envoy of salt and iron in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He also organized the establishment of a salt institute and was in charge of water transportation across the canal.
The more things you do, the more clues you will naturally leave behind.
These days, there are more and more memorials for the Fifth Qi on the emperor's desk. Li Heng's attitude towards this was to ignore them, but he did not severely punish the officials who submitted the memorials.
The emperor's attitude made Wu Qi very frightened.
We must know that when Wu Qi was appointed to Yangzhou, many ministers wrote letters of impeachment against him.
When the Jianghuai Salt Institute was established, Wu Qi offended many scholars. At that time, scholars in Jiangnan even called Wu Qi a "Tang Dynasty beetle" at a poetry meeting.
But at that time, the emperor's attitude towards the ministers who participated in the Fifth Qi was to reject the memorial and then demoted several officials who took the lead in the impeachment.
But now Wu Qi returned to Chang'an, but was not summoned alone by the emperor even once.
Although he has not been in charge of Duzhi for long, Wu Qi has received more impeachments than he did in one year at Jianghuai.
Regarding King Qi's attack, the counterattack from the East Palace was somewhat unprepared.
They only fought back against a few officials from the King of Qi's group who charged fiercely, but they didn't make much of a fuss.
There were rumors that the prince was very angry in the East Palace. Some people even said that the prince felt that Wu Qi's butt was too dirty and was not prepared to protect him anymore.
During this period of time, Eunuch Mu Rong, who was collecting intelligence, was almost exhausted.
Eunuch Mu was busy peeking at the memorials every day, recording them using the in-game video recording function, and then sending them to Shangbo to get a large amount of experience rewards.
Who wouldn’t want to do such a good thing!
Those generals and players chased the horse bandits for three days, but in the end they didn't get as much experience as Eunuch Mu took from a memorial.
During these days, Mu Rong's level rose rapidly, and Gao Lishi's ambush in the palace began to gradually come into play.
Little Muzi was quick at work, low-key and not pushy. This evaluation gradually spread among the eunuchs in charge.
The eunuch in charge of the Shangshu Supervisor also secretly observed Mu Rong. This guy was the most active in delivering memorials every day and the most agile with his hands and feet.
Moreover, the little Muzi was literate and well-behaved, so he was quickly praised by the eunuch in charge.
In addition to the old relationship initiated by Gao Lishi, this is also related to the "little gifts" from Longyou that Xiao Muzi often sent casually.
Eunuch Mu was generous with his actions up and down. His master, Eunuch Zhou, was dizzy, so Eunuch Mu gave him glasses.
Eunuch Zhang, the steward, suffered from chilblains, and Eunuch Mu gave him a special chilblain ointment.
The gifts that Mu Rong gives out are often not very expensive, but they are all rare things or things that the other party needs urgently.
These gifts are in line with Mu Rong's identity, but they also show his intentions.
Eunuch Mu finished his day's work and began to sort out information and send it to Shang Bo while continuing his "Grand Eunuch Promotion Plan".
Eunuch Mu opened his notepad and once again recorded the character and preferences of a senior eunuch in the Shangshu Prison.
In addition, Mu Rong recorded what certain father-in-laws were taboo about, which father-in-laws had bad relations with each other, and which father-in-laws had relationships with superiors. These were all recorded by Mu Rong.
"I still need to use mind mapping. Notepad is really difficult to use."
Mu Rong sighed with emotion. He has been learning practical mind mapping by himself recently, but it will take a lot of time to organize the previous records into the mind map.
After saving and closing the notepad, Mu Rong lay on the Chase bunk and continued to review today's work.
Life in the palace can be said to be boring and boring. Being a eunuch in the Tang Dynasty is a profession with high upper limit and low lower limit, and the median income is not very good.
Mu Rong also serialized the documentary literature "I Was an Eunuch in the Tang Dynasty" on the forum, which is now one of the most popular serialized posts on the forum.
After updating the latest chapter, Mu Rong started replying to players' private messages again.
Although the forums are full of sarcastic players, there are actually quite a few players who want to join the palace and become eunuchs.
It is not easy to overtake in corners these days. Eunuch Mu Rong's rapid improvement in level has given many players the idea of entering the palace.
Mu Rong replied to several players who were hesitant about joining the palace, and introduced them to the promotion prospects and career ceiling of the eunuch profession. After a group of players complimented him with "Thank you, boss" and "Boss is awesome", he finally
End of a busy day.
Night falls in Chang'an City, and candles are lit in Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan's study.
Cui Guangyuan looked at his cronies and subordinates in the room, then at Shan Tao and Shang Bo, who came to Cui Guangyuan's house secretly.
He looked at Shang Bo nervously and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue really wants to support Cui to become prime minister?"
