Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapter good place
Beidi was very dissatisfied with being suppressed by Tang Ao before. However, considering that Tang Ao was the fourth prince of the current Emperor Qianwen, they were still restraining the idea of sending troops. But now, Emperor Qianwen cannot protect himself, and Beidi is no longer there After hesitation, he finally sent troops. When the news reached the ears of King Zhong, he made the same choice as Emperor Qianwen, giving up Jizhou.
At least for now, he will give up temporarily. Either he is waiting for Tang Ao to be destroyed and he is going to conquer the lost territory; or he is fishing for benefits after Tang Ao defeats Di Bing and suffers heavy losses.
Of course, King Zhong did not think that the second possibility would arise. He had experienced the bravery of Di soldiers over the years, and he did not think that Tang Ao, who had just arrived in Jizhou for less than a year, could stop Di soldiers. Front.
Things in Jizhou have to be put aside for now. King Zhong’s main focus is still on Daliang City, which is ten miles away in front of him. In his eyes, whoever owns this place is equivalent to becoming the master of Dagan and possessing the legitimate imperial power. .
Especially as a person who was driven away from here more than ten years ago, King Zhong had a perverted desire for Daliang City. Under this mentality, he was also determined to win Daliang City, so he decided to risk it. Daliang, the leader of the world, took the initiative to tear up the agreement and launched an attack on Daliang City.
Especially with the support of Sang Doubei, he had another 60,000 troops in his hands, which made his confidence very high.
...
Daliang City.
Not only did the Liaozhou Army show no intention of retreating, but on the contrary, the military camp also pushed forward until it was five miles away from the north gate of Daliang City and then stopped.
Various signs have shown that King Zhong is going to tear up the agreement and go back on his word.
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qianwen was sitting there with a face as deep as water, and his face was very ugly.
Three months ago, Emperor Qianwen was full of confidence and had the power to control the world. But now, his fighting spirit has dropped sharply, and he seems to be looking older.
Before using troops in alignment, Emperor Qianwen didn't think that King Zhong would send troops, but in his opinion, King Zhong had limited troops, and facing the tyrannical Da Gan, he might not really dare to make such a decision. Besides, , even if the opponent really takes action and is in danger of defeating the city, he will not be afraid and is fully capable of keeping the Liaozhou Army at bay.
Unexpectedly, first, King Zhong used his mother's wealth to recruit a large number of soldiers, which made the momentum much greater than he expected. Then, he used inhumane people. Shi Hongyun actually left the fortified city undefended and chose to take the initiative. , so much so that after returning from a great defeat, they also lost the barrier to the north of Daliang City. As a result, they are now passive.
But Emperor Qianwen was not discouraged.
For ambitious people, temporary gains and losses are nothing. As long as they deal with it properly, there is still the possibility of a comeback. In order to achieve the goal of annexing the four states of Qi as soon as possible, Emperor Qianwen decided to follow the advice of Tonggu, the Minister of Rites, and take the initiative to ask King Zhong Show weakness to gain temporary peace.
The concession now is to get more in the future. Emperor Qianwen has decided that after swallowing the four states of Qi, he will bring his army back and kill Liaozhou. He wants everyone in the world to know that he is provoking himself What will be the outcome.
But the facts told Emperor Qianwen that he thought too much. Or he thought everything was too good. He was not the only one in the world who could tear up the agreement.
King Zhong came with the intention of mobilizing a large army to suppress the situation. After he gave in, he chose to send the two states. Not only did King Zhong not stop his progress, but on the contrary, it also fed the opponent's appetite. The King Zhong of Guzhou became even more powerful. Great. If I had known this earlier, I would not have bowed to King Zhong, but directly ordered the Guzhou Army and Jizhou Army to send troops to attack the Liaozhou Army. Maybe the result would have been better.
Where in the world can there be so many people who know in advance?
If it had been known earlier that Emperor Qianwen would not have chosen King Qi as the first person to attack him, but would have directly attacked his own brother, the loyal king. Wouldn't it be better?
The facts are in front of us, and it's too late to say anything now. Emperor Qianwen's eyes swept over the important ministers in front of him, "Let's talk about it, everyone, what should we do next?"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please give me a chance. I want to go out of the city and ask the loyal king what he wants." The first person to speak was Tong Gu, the Minister of Rites. It was he who came up with the idea to send the two states. , he also did the matter, but now it has such a result, he can be said to be the culprit. Of course, he must show his attitude at this time, he wants to make meritorious service and atone for his sins.
"Forget it, Prince Zhong is so ambitious, Tong Aiqing doesn't need to blame herself too much." After Emperor Qianwen looked at Tong Gu, he had no intention of blaming him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Tong Gu said with a moved face. At this moment, he was even more loyal to the emperor.
After doing such a big mistake, Emperor Qianwen actually had no intention of blaming him. Is this because the emperor changed his temper?
Of course not. The real reason is that the current Daqian court has become unstable. Unless absolutely necessary, Emperor Qianwen will not easily punish important ministers like the Six Ministers. And all this came from the Emperor's Guard. The information is that the second son of Qi King Yuan Tailou, the second prince Yuan Yi, is secretly contacting the King of Southern Wu.
Although the intelligence has not yet clarified what Yuan Yi is going to do, there are already various signs that the King of Southern Wu may also intervene in the war. If this is the case, this battle will become even more intense. As the situation gets bigger, more and more people will be involved, and the court situation may become more chaotic. Therefore, the stability of the court situation becomes more important.
Instead of blaming Tong Gu, what he got in exchange was the man's harder loyalty, which was worth it no matter how you look at it. In the following time, the ministers felt helpless towards King Zhong's remorseful behavior, so Emperor Qianwen had no choice but to give the order, and ordered Zhong Cheng to do so. Hou Shen Yunyi led his troops to defend the city, and at the same time issued an order to recruit large troops from the front line to return reinforcements. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Daliang City could not be given away like this.
After the decree was issued, Shen Yunyi led 15,000 silver-armored guards and 30,000 new recruits to the Daliang City Tower, and was ready to fight against the Zhongwang Army with the strong city.
...
Baijun, town county.
As one of the forty-six counties in Jizhou, it is also the most prominent county in the northwest of Jizhou. Due to its geographical location, the public security here has always been unstable, and it is often the location of the Beidi army's hunting valley.
Perennial threats of war have made the town and county not only poor, but also more sparsely populated. There are only less than ten thousand people left in the entire county, and most of them are old people who are reluctant to leave their homeland and have inconvenient legs and feet. But young people People who could leave have left, and few come back.
On top of the city tower, a handsome and outrageous young man in Tsing Yi was standing here looking into the distance with his telescope, "What a great place!" Tang Ao said with a sigh as he put down his telescope.
The green hills are rolling, the green water is shining under the sunlight, and the fertile black land is one after another. I roughly estimated in my mind that if each person has 20 acres of land, this area will have at least
Land that can supply 50,000 people or even more.
"The place is good, but the location is not very good. It is not that no people have cultivated fertile fields here before, but when the harvest comes, Di soldiers will appear to snatch the fruits of labor. This happens again and again. Over time, these fertile fields
They are all abandoned." Han Ce, who was standing aside, sighed and said with a look of regret.
"Yes, if you want to develop, a peaceful environment is essential. But fortunately, this time we are teaching the Di people a lesson, letting them know that Jizhou has a new owner, and they will no longer be able to bully them at will.
Tell them that this place will become sacred and inviolable Han land in the future. If they still dare to come, then beat them once and hurt them once. Beat them twice to make them doubt their life."
Tang Ao said this quite arrogantly. Han Ce, who was standing by the side, had goosebumps all over his body. He could feel the momentum and determination in Tang Ao's heart that was waving in all directions.
Even the civil servant Han Ce was infected, not to mention the generals such as Feng Xun, Feng Wanli, Zuo Zhuang and Jiang Fenghua who were standing aside. They couldn't help but straighten their backs. There was a picture that only needed Tang Ao's words.
When given the order, they would rush out like wild horses running wild.
"Okay, the battlefield is in front of you. Generals, please tell me your plans." After some reflections, Tang Ao turned to look at Feng Xun and others. There was encouragement in his eyes, but he was more serious.
, this battle is related to whether Jizhou can maintain the fruits of victory, and it cannot be careless.
For this battle, Tang Ao even transferred four of the five trump cards in his hand, in order to give Di Bing a severe blow and thwart Beidi's aggression.
As early as half a month ago, news came from the insider who spent a lot of money to plant in Beidi, with He Lianjie as the leader (10,000 people), Cheng Situo as the deputy general (5,000 people), and He Suibo as the deputy general (5,000 people), a total of two
Wandi soldiers are preparing to come to Jizhou, where they want to fight a large-scale grass-grazing valley to show their strength. While looting, they also want to give King Ji a show of strength.
After getting the news, Tang Ao led all the generals, General Jicheng, to Baijun County without stopping. Since this battle is inevitable, let's put the battlefield outside.
Tang Ao has always been a master who is unwilling to suffer losses. Even when facing the powerful Beidi, he still dares to draw his sword. Whether he can fight or not can't be said, but at least he has this kind of courage, unlike before.
At that time, when they heard the Beidi soldiers appeared, they would give in if they could, and if they couldn't, they would pay money. It was this kind of tolerance that made the Beidi people's tempers grow stronger and their appetites get better and better.
