It is said that killing one person is a crime, and killing ten thousand people is a crime. When the current Princess Di killed enough people, some dignitaries became frightened and went to the palace to ask Emperor Qianying for help. For a while, the new emperor Tang Qingchuan came to her side. Many people's hearts made him realize the importance of Princess Di.
If one's own people kill the descendants of these powerful families, they will inevitably be criticized, and it is not impossible for someone to rebel. But for the former Princess Di who took action, everything is a different matter. This allows Tang Qingchuan to stay out of the matter and act openly and honestly. The harvest has aroused people's hearts.
It can be said that the former Princess Di is a sharp sword, and it is a sharp sword that only Emperor Qian Ying can control. It is with this sword that the powerful people in Daliang City have become much more honest. On the surface, it seems that Tang Qingchuan has mastered the overall situation. .
After reciprocating the favor, Tang Qingchuan asked Wei Qian'er what reward she wanted. This woman actually directly asked for the position of right servant that had been pending for a long time, saying that she would prove everything with her ability.
With the idea of giving it a try, Tang Qingchuan agreed. The facts did not disappoint him. This woman was indeed very capable. She not only knew how to kill people, she was also good at killing people. In a short period of time, she managed many things in an orderly manner. , which made him, the emperor, very satisfied.
Tang Qingchuan recognized Wei Qian'er as an official under him, and even when there were rumors that this woman might become the crown princess, Tang Qingchuan did not stop him, even though he knew that this was news that Wei Qian'er intended to let out, and he was not angry. He knew this. Women are just trying to take advantage of this, and all they want is to give themselves a better job. Even so, why should they be scolded?
Tang Qingchuan needed this woman to help him, so he would accept some of her minor shortcomings. But at this time, Tang Ao actually sent a letter, asking him to hand over this woman by name. How could he not be angry?
Not to mention that Wei Qian'er is so capable that he has been regarded as his right-hand man by Tang Qingchuan. Simply speaking, as he is Emperor Qianying, why should a vassal king just give him anything he wants? Isn't that a sign of weakness? Isn't it that? Are you afraid of Tang Ao?
Tang Qingchuan didn't take this matter seriously at all, but Tang Qingchuan still sent this document to Wei Qian'er. He wanted to use this to tell this woman that as long as she worked for him, he could take care of any grudges she had. Block.
But after reading this letter, Wei Qian'er looked calm, but actually she felt panicked in her heart.
Shen Tuwei came back, and although he did not reveal Tang Ao's possible identity, he did reveal the fact that Bei Mingce was killed. This really frightened Wei Qian'er.
Bei Mingce is a Grandmaster. Doesn't it mean that a Grandmaster can only be injured and difficult to die? Unless he meets a more powerful Grandmaster, why is this iron law broken by Tang Ao? In other words, Tang Ao Now that Ao can kill the master Bei Mingce, can he also kill himself?
When she thought of this, Wei Qian'er became frightened, and there was a scene where she was willing to be driven by Tang Qingchuan. She did this with only one request, which was to live in the other courtyard next to the East Palace closest to the palace.
If it were an ordinary official, he would not make such a request, and even if he did, it would not be agreed to. But Wei Qian'er is a woman, and her gender advantage allows her to stay close to the palace without worrying about any trouble.
After proving everything with her own abilities, Wei Qian'er moved into the annex next to the Imperial Palace and the East Palace as she wished, and then she felt a little more at ease. After all, even if Tang Ao was powerful, there was no way he could enter the annex to kill himself. By the way, Tang Qingchuan is not Tang Qingshan. He has always strictly controlled the security of the palace. There are only 20,000 elite soldiers here. They are the kind who have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. They are not the golden armor guards at the time of Emperor Qianwen. , looks good but not useful.
After doing all this, Wei Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still shocked after seeing the document. She thought that Tang Ao might send someone to assassinate her, but she didn't expect that someone would be so upright. At this moment , she was really shocked by what Tang Ao did.
Doesn't Tang Ao know who he is and who Tang Qingchuan is? He dares to openly threaten him like this. Does that mean he is brave? Or is he bold?
Fortunately, this document fell into his hands, which proved that Tang Qingchuan would not give up on him. Just let Tang Ao make the noise. Do you not believe that he would lead his army to Daliang City and into the palace? If so, That only proves that Tang Qingchuan is also a useless person.
Of course Tang Ao would not lead his troops to Daliang City. In his eyes, this place is simply a place of right and wrong. Even if it were given to him, he would not take it now. Whoever occupies this place will naturally become the leader of the public. , becoming everyone's enemy and opponent. With Tang Ao's current strength, he really can't withstand these storms.
Not attacking Daliang City does not mean that Tang Ao will not attack other places, such as Liaozhou, which is very close to Jizhou.
If in the past, there was Tang Qingchuan in Liaozhou with more than 200,000 troops, Tang Ao would not have tried to take advantage of him. But now, Liaozhou only has tens of thousands of troops led by Zhong Mu. And a year ago He had just been defeated by himself at that time, so it was the most appropriate thing to attack him.
In this way, when the envoy sent returned to Jizhou and explained that Tang Qingchuan's attitude was to ignore it, Tang Ao, who had been prepared for a long time, stopped being polite and ordered the generals to be called, saying that he was going to send troops to Liaozhou.
Tang Ao wanted to attack Liaozhou, but the officials and generals below had different attitudes.
Those who have support are naturally the generals. Only by fighting can they prove their worth, be promoted, and continue to honor their ancestors.
The opposition was mostly led by civil servants led by Zeng Tong. In their view, those who are warlike will lead to death. Besides, although Emperor Qian Ying was in an unfair position, he did not take the initiative to provoke them. It is said that now is the time to develop in a low-key manner. Instead of sending troops everywhere to cause trouble. Again, King Ji's background is too poor. The people of Jizhou have just recognized this king. There are still many people in Guzhou who don't recognize it. Send troops now. , a little too anxious.
Regarding these objections, Tang Ao gave one attitude, that is, to leave all the memorials without any explanation. He wanted to use this to tell all those who objected that I know your opinions, but the decision has to be made. , cannot be changed.
Of course, Tang Ao would do this not out of spite. Whenever he saw Ao Wu, Ao Liu, Xue Fei and others injured, he would get angry. If it weren't for these people's desperate protection this time, I'm afraid... He was already dead.
Even if he is about to lose his life, why should he be afraid of this or that? Did he just become a coward after traveling here?
For his own sake and to seek justice for his brothers who died and were injured in the battle, Tang Ao also decided to send troops to Liaozhou.
Naturally, this is just a superficial reason. Tang Ao wants his brothers to thank him. Look, his master is a bloody man. In order to avenge his brothers, he would not hesitate to fight against the powerful Qian Ying. The emperor is an enemy.
But in his heart, Tang Ao had another main reason for doing this. He heard about the King of Nanyue sending troops to Qingzhou. This was clearly a foreign race that wanted to invade dry land to invade and bully the Han people. If he was almost killed If he can tolerate it, he absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of racial invasion. He must take action.
Considering that Liaozhou is so close to Jizhou and there will be no buffer if something happens, Tang Ao decided to take over this place. As for having to use the identity of former Di Princess Wei Qianer to speak out, there is another advantage. , that is, he can use this to win the favor of the powerful people in Beidi today.
Wei Qian'er is the common enemy of Tang Ao and the Beidi people. Now that Tang Ao wants to take action against this woman, the former Di dignitaries naturally agree with each other. Some of the older people still remember how Wei Zhongyuan was more than 20 years ago. They wanted to suppress powerful people like them and implement hegemonism. The experience at that time was like a nightmare and made them miserable.
Presumably the father is like this, and the daughter should be the same. If Wei Qian'er really gains power, will they still have something good to eat when they return to Beidi one day?
So when they learned that Tang Ao wanted to deal with the descendants of the Wei family, these Beidi dignitaries not only promised that they would never hinder King Ji and cause any disputes in the rear, but also provided some good war horses to Tang Ao. proud to express their support.
This is a sincere gift, and it is different from the previous exchange of Jizhou Tea with Hero Drunk. Although there are war horses in the exchange, there are not many truly good horses, but this time all the horses given are strong horses, which can be given directly to Used by the Shanshan Guards. This is enough to prove that Beidi is still afraid of the descendants of the Wei family.
With the support of the Beidi people, Tang Ao knew that the other party would not seek trouble at this time. However, for safety reasons, he still left the First Firearms Battalion and the Chariot Battalion in Jizhou to prevent possible emergencies. Then he sent the Jizhou Government Affairs Bureau After entrusting important matters to Zeng Tong and entrusting major military matters to his uncle Shen Yunyi, in early April of the 21st year of Hanchang, after the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Tang Ao personally led an army of 50,000 from Jicheng to the border of Liaozhou.
The 50,000-strong army consists of 10,000 Shanshan Guards, 10,000 Guiyi Army, 6,000 Tiger Soldiers, 4,000 Second Firearms Battalion and 20,000 Reserves.
Tang Ao did not recruit civilians during this trip, but instead recruited a lot of horses and mules. Except for the Shanshan Guards, who were originally cavalry, the others all became infantry and cavalry. Everyone rode horses or made carriages when they went on the road, which saved their leg strength. , you can also bring a lot of extra things, such as food, grass and luggage, of course.
The roads in Jizhou are well built, the official roads are wide, and the carriages travel extremely fast on them. Tang Ao's 50,000-strong army can travel three to four hundred miles a day, and their speed is astonishing. On the third day alone, the army appeared in Liaoning early in the morning. Under the city of Zhouyuan County.
General He Yidou of Yuan County was dumbfounded when he saw the mighty Jizhou Army suddenly appearing under the city in the morning. He had not received the battle report from the scouts before. So how did these Jizhou Army appear under the city? They flew over.
