As for Baili Gui, the fifth prince he is assisting is also eighteen years old this year. Seeing that he can take the crown in two years and has the opportunity to become the prince, Baili Gui certainly will not watch Da Qian fall into this situation. In danger.
With the two servants taking the lead, all the civil servants below petitioned to move the capital. In this way, they would be able to stay away from the loyal king's army, and their safety would be more guaranteed.
"Move the capital?" Emperor Qianwen smiled bitterly in his heart.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. It requires a lot of preparations, and it can't be completed overnight. Besides, moving the capital now will inevitably cause people to panic. For those powerful people who have most of their foundations in Daliang City We, how many of them are willing to follow us?
Once these people stay, won't they become King Zhong's helpers and expand King Zhong's influence and strength?
In this way, Emperor Qianwen would not agree to move the capital unless it was absolutely necessary. So he set his sights on a group of generals.
In history, many times when the country was in crisis, civil servants basically took the lead in peace and military generals took the lead in fighting. This time was no exception. When Emperor Qianwen looked over, the first one to stand up was Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi.
Even though he is a Marquis and is also the deputy commander of the Silver Armored Guards, Shen Yunyi's words can very well represent the thoughts of some generals. "Your Majesty, I do not agree with moving the capital, especially if you do not have a suitable accompanying capital. It will cause unnecessary losses. Besides, the current situation has not reached the point where we must move the capital."
"Oh, tell me." Seeing that the general did not agree to move the capital, Emperor Qianwen asked as if he had seen hope.
"Your Majesty, there are too many reasons for the defeat of Pingcheng. The most important one is that we gave up our own advantage and did not defend the city. Instead, we took the initiative to attack. This gave the Liaozhou Army a chance. On the contrary, if If we stick to the city all the time, we can completely keep the Liaozhou army out of the city. Speaking of it, Pingcheng is far less strong than Daliang City. In terms of city height alone, Daliang City is four feet high, which is higher than Daliang City. The city is two meters flat. If we can defend the city, we can definitely keep the Liaozhou army out of the city."
Shen Yunyi's voice fell to the ground loudly, causing some generals to nod in agreement. Apparently they also thought so.
But such voices were soon drowned out by those civil servants. The failure of Pingcheng made them lose confidence in the army, and they were afraid that the same thing would happen in Daliang City. If so, once the city was broken, wouldn't they become Are they the target of being slaughtered? Thinking that their families may be destroyed as a result, they will never agree. Yes, there are still many people clamoring to move the capital. It seems that only the farther away from the Liaozhou Army can they truly feel at ease. .
For a moment, two voices filled the hall, and Emperor Qianwen had no idea.
To say that he wanted to move the capital would mean giving up a lot of things, and it would also have a bad reputation. But if he didn't move the capital, if the Liaozhou army really came and captured it like they conquered Pingcheng, If we go to Daliang City, I'm afraid there really will be no other way out at that time.
Maybe the loyal king would not kill other ministers, and he still wanted to use these people to govern the court. But as the emperor, he would definitely not stay. He has already occupied the other's position, hasn't he? If he doesn't die, How did King Zhong ascend to the throne?
In the battle between the two ideas, Emperor Qianwen was a little confused about how to choose. It was at this time that Tong Gu, the Minister of Rites, stood up and proposed a compromise. That was to find someone to negotiate with King Zhong, as long as the other party could stop advancing. The imperial court could make some concessions appropriately, such as increasing King Zhong's fiefdom, and considering giving Guzhou and Jizhou to King Zhong in exchange for his army stopping the conquest.
On the other hand, if you call on the soldiers and horses from all states to serve the king, you can also immediately mobilize the main force of the army that is attacking Qi to return reinforcements. As long as you give them enough time to return to the city, Daliang City will not be afraid of the loyal king if there are enough troops. The army came to the city.
A two-pronged approach, the principle of one civil and one military was heard by Emperor Qianwen's constant nodding. He immediately agreed to this suggestion, wrote an edict himself, and asked the King of Military Qin. He also arranged for Tong Gu to be an envoy to discuss with King Zhong about the withdrawal of troops.
Emperor Qianwen finally made a compromise, although it made him look bad. But considering that there were only 20,000 golden-armored guards and 15,000 silver-armored guards in Daliang City, and the other 30,000 new troops had just been recruited, it was simply He couldn't form any fighting power. With just this strength, he didn't care whether he looked good or not.
Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi was also entrusted with an important task in the court. He personally led 15,000 silver-armored guards and 30,000 new soldiers to guard the city tower. If the Liaozhou army launched an attack without hesitation, it would at least delay the attack. , to prepare for moving the capital.
Shi Hongyun's mistake pushed Daqian into this situation, and he was undoubtedly a sinner. But the bigger sinner was Emperor Qianwen himself. For the sake of his own safety, he gave away Guzhou and Jizhou regardless of his own safety. King Zhong.
After the dynasty ended, some carrier pigeons flew out of Daliang City and headed straight for Jizhou.
...
Jicheng.
After the news came that King Zhong led hundreds of thousands of Liaozhou troops towards Jizhou, Tang Ao knew that the peaceful days were over. Not only that, after King Zhong went to war with the emperor, Jizhou was completely It has become an island-like existence. It will be difficult to transport things from the outside into Jizhou. From now on, everything will have to be self-sufficient.
Some people may say, isn’t there still Guzhou? Jizhou needs something that can be detoured from Guzhou. It’s not that Tang Ao has never thought about this, but considering Sang Doubei’s greed, he is afraid that it will be transported More than half of the goods will be taken away by others. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if you don't want those things.
Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king!
As far as these slogans are concerned, Tang Ao has already made preparations for this. The last time Zeng Tong went to Daliang City to express his condolences to the Empress Dowager, he got a lot of food and ironware from there. Now Jizhou has various material reserves. It's quite sufficient.
Once there is a bumper harvest of grain in the fields at the end of autumn, Jizhou will no longer be troubled by grain. That will be the time for Jizhou to spread its wings and take off. In addition, there are a lot of iron ore underground in Jizhou, and Tang Dynasty, who foresaw all this long ago, will Ao Gui pointed out that as long as there is no shortage of iron and food, Jizhou will be completely stable until the end of autumn.
It's just that it's only the end of May now, there are still a few days before the beginning of June, and there are still nearly five months until the end of autumn. Whether we can safely wait for the food harvest has become the most important issue facing Jizhou now.
There is no doubt that Beidi will never let Jizhou go through this period of time smoothly, and it is inevitable that they will send troops.
In this regard, some people privately said that it was not wise to offend the Di people before. At least they should wait until the food harvest is good before falling out with the Di people, and the situation will be much better. Of course, I feel that the last time Dong Jingwei and others wrote a letter
As a result, this time they just discussed it in private and did not dare to say anything publicly.
How could Tang Ao not understand this truth, but he still did it? It depends on his character. Perhaps when facing the Han people, he can bow his head appropriately in exchange for the time and benefits he needs. But for foreigners
, Tang Ao will never bow his head, not even for a moment.
Tang Ao is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, but when it comes to foreign races, he has never regarded them as human beings, so there is no such thing as adaptability. Even if the entire Jizhou has to undergo tests and face crises because of this, he is still
Consider it worthwhile.
zero tolerance!
This is Tang Ao's bottom line for foreigners. Or it can be said that he has no bottom line. As long as he has a chance, he will nip any danger in the bud without any politeness.
As for whether the current Jizhou Army has such capabilities, Tang Ao still has some confidence. No matter what, the current Daqian is still the land of the Central Plains, and it is still the most powerful country in this land, isn't it?
With the identity of a fourth prince, even if Di Ren really wants to touch him, he still has to consider the consequences, at least consider the attitude of Emperor Wen because of this, right?
In fact, after Gongsun Guang returned to Dadi and told what happened in Jizhou, he originally prepared to use troops. However, as Tang Ao thought, they took Daqian's attitude into consideration and did not send troops immediately. But all this
, all because the situation changed after Shi Hongyun lost Pingcheng.
Changes that are extremely unfavorable to one's own side.
The carrier pigeon was delivered to Tang Ao. After seeing the changes in Daliang City, he couldn't help but cursed.
Such a good game of chess was played like this by Emperor Qianwen. Tang Ao was speechless.
Having gained the upper hand and having great righteousness, he first detained the King of Qi in Kyoto, which caused the Qi army to be in chaos. At this time, sending troops was likely to take over the land of the four states. In this way, Daqian would be even stronger. But then, unexpectedly, the proton
Tang Yi was sent out of Daliang City in this way, and then King Zhong rebelled.
It is nothing to say that the loyal king rebelled. The loyal king's heart is just like Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knows it. With the strong city of Pingcheng as a barrier, Daqian was fine. The blame is on Emperor Qianwen's employment of people.
In the last battle with the Jin army, Shi Hongyun performed very poorly, exposing his weakness in commanding troops to fight, but it was because of his loyalty that Emperor Qianwen still used him. Now that he is better, he finally suffered the bitter fruit, right?
.Even Pingcheng was lost. Now in order to ease the relationship with Prince Zhong, he actually gave Guzhou and Jizhou to Prince Zhong. So who do you think he is?
