270 The Rebellion of the Feudal Kings and the Side of the Qing Emperor
The thirty-seventh year of Qianyuan.
Mid September.
Daqian's move to cut down the feudal vassals became more and more urgent.
The feudal kings had to respond.
Geng Zhonger, the king of Dingnan, entertained Yuan Tiankai, the general of the Nanzhu Kingdom of Daqian, with a warm banquet.
During the banquet, a cup was thrown as a signal, and five hundred swordsmen and axemen came out in ambush.
Between the knives.
The famous general Yuan Tiankai died tragically at the "Hongmen Banquet" hosted by King Dingnan.
On that day, Dingnan King Geng Zhonger raised the name of "Qing Jun Side" and raised troops to serve the king, vowing to eradicate the evil master Yan Fei and the treacherous prime minister Wang Zhaomin for the sake of all people in the world.
On the same day, King Pingxi and King Qin raised troops to flank King Qing.
His target for eradication was to remove the demon master Yan Fei and the treacherous prime minister Wang Zhaomin, as well as the prison prince Zhao Lingfeng.
This is no longer just Qingjun's side.
This is to rebel!
…
A few days later.
The envoys of Daqian and the swordsmen and axemen in Beidi have already begun to write their wills in the Yanbei Posthouse.
From the moment they received the order from the court, they lost hope of returning alive.
Later, I heard that the two major vassal kings in the south raised troops to "Qingjun's side" at the same time.
The King of Zhenbei will inevitably participate in the coalition of vassal kings.
The envoys of Daqian in the post hall were all frightened and crying.
However, suddenly officials from the Yanbei Palace came to meet the envoys of Daqian.
They informed the envoy——
"My king is deeply favored by the emperor, and he will definitely guard the north for Daqian, secure the border and protect the people."
"...But now the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, harming the loyal and good, resulting in internal and external troubles. My king is heartbroken."
The envoy was stunned by what the other party said.
It took a long time before I finally figured out the other party's intention...
The King of Zhenbei will not attack Jinling.
But of course, King Zhenbei would not accept the reduction of vassalage.
The envoy was a little confused.
Even as an envoy like him, he felt that this ambiguous attitude was not pleasing to both sides.
But soon, the envoys of Daqian understood the reason why King Zhenbei had such an attitude——
The Kingdom of Jin went south.
…
Yanbei Palace.
Inside the palace hall.
The King of Zhenbei stood with his hands behind his hands and looked quietly at the huge wall-like northern border map erected in front of him.
If the original maritime treaty had been followed, King Zhenbei should have raised troops to respond to the two southern vassal kings at this moment.
only……
The Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang assembled a total of 800,000 troops, known as one million, and devoted all the strength of the country to the south.
"The people of Northern Xinjiang are really good at choosing the right time." Longxiang General Li Mieling took a few steps forward from the main entrance and quickly came to the side of King Zhenbei.
He is now a young man, his body has developed and he is getting taller and taller. He is almost the same as "tall" people such as Ye Changtian and Guo Siyuan.
He has been in the military all year round and has a strong sense of killing.
His strength is far from being comparable to that of the past. He has already broken through to the ninth level warrior. His strength is so powerful that ordinary people can't imagine it.
Li Mieling clasped his fists respectfully to King Zhenbei, and then said in a low voice——
"Brother-in-law, Da Gan has been at war with the two vassal kings in the south for nearly half a month now. If the people from northern Xinjiang invade the south at this time, Da Gan will definitely be unable to withdraw and deal with them."
"...It's just that we probably don't have the extra strength to attack Jinling."
Li Mieling said so.
There was silence in the palace hall for a moment.
After that, the voice of King Zhenbei slowly sounded——
"Good."
King Zhenbei's tone was still calm and indifferent, "I don't want to participate in the battlefield in the south in the short term."
The King of Zhenbei said that his name and the name Li Mieling called him were the same as before.
Chen Danyang, the chief of etiquette, once mentioned to Li Mieling in private that the king should be addressed in a respectful manner.
But when King Zhenbei learned about it, he stopped him. He thought it was good that Li Mieling called him that.
People always remember the regret and pain of losing something in the past.
This is true for my father.
The same is true for Miss Li.
King Zhenbei held a ruler in his hand and silently drew some strange lines on the map of the northern border.
"The size of Daqian is far greater than that of the Three Feudations. Although it has encountered man-made disasters caused by Wang Zhaomin and natural disasters, no one knows how much war potential Daqian still has."
"It's just right for the southern vassal king to find out the truth for us first."
"...Furthermore, it is better for Wanyan Lingxu to lead his troops south now than to attack the north after we arrive in the south."
King Zhenbei finished drawing the lines, looked at Li Mieling beside him, and said calmly.
For some reason, he could feel a rare sense of closeness when getting along with Li Mieling.
When Li Mieling heard this, he nodded slightly, but still couldn't help but ask -
"Brother-in-law, Mieling is thinking, why doesn't the Queen Mother of Northern Xinjiang do what the King just said?"
"...wait until the northern land is empty, then raise your troops to invade the south."
As Li Mieling spoke, he thought from his perspective: "If I were the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang, I would be like this."
When the King of Zhenbei heard this, he quietly said——
"Perhaps she wants to defeat me specifically."
"Defeat you, brother-in-law?"
"Back in Baikal City, I made a promise to her. She said that she would come to Yanbei City in person... and would bring her Northern Xinjiang army together to defeat me at the same time."
King Zhenbei recalled.
There are some changes to some details, changing "abducted" to "defeat", but that's basically it.
Li Mieling thought for a moment, but felt that he still didn't understand the powerful effect of this kind of verbal promise.
He suddenly looked at the map in front of him.
I saw that on that map, King Zhenbei had already marked the mountains, rivers, terrain, troop arrangements, and fortifications all over the border.
Even the inferred possible attack directions of the enemy are marked.
King Zhenbei handed the map to Li Mieling.
He directly ordered——
"Follow this picture and get all the troops in the army into position. What is about to come is a big battle with the Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang."
Li Mieling respectfully responded.
At the same time, King Zhenbei suddenly turned around and said as if talking to himself——
"Destroying the mausoleum, we are now working to protect the northern border for this great cause, for this Central Plains, and for this world."
"Brother-in-law, it should be considered."
When King Zhenbei heard this, he laughed at himself and said, "I have always been the only one who uses others as spear shields. Today, I also used Da Gan as a spear shield."
"But forget it, the Central Plains is in chaos, but the Central Plains will be my king's possession sooner or later, and no outsiders will be allowed to covet it."
While he was talking, King Zhenbei looked at the clerk with sword and pen standing beside him.
"Draft a memorial for me. I will go to Da Qian and ask for more food, grass and weapons."
…
Great work.
Jinling.
Faced with the sudden turn of events, Daqian's top management never expected it.
As if overnight, internal and external troubles broke out.
Prime Minister Wang Zhaomin, who led the move to reduce the vassal vassal, had long been accused by thousands of people, and now he was impeached by all the ministers.
But as the saying goes, "There are too many lice and it doesn't itch."
The old emperor had no intention of doing this, and the prime minister was still the prime minister.
Zhao Lingfeng, the Prince of the Supervisory State, was currently in chaos due to the vassal kings and was rushing around to mobilize his troops urgently.
When I heard the news about the Jin Kingdom going south, I felt a headache for a while.
The memorial of King Zhenbei was brought back to Jinling by Daqian envoys.
Just like a timely rain, a severe drought brings sweet dew.
As for the huge demand put forward by King Zhenbei, the prime minister and the prince, who had always been reluctant to deal with it, actually agreed unanimously.
Prime Minister Wang Zhaomin is under the control of King Zhenbei, so there is no need to say more.
And Prince Zhao Lingfeng...
For him, the fact that the King of Zhenbei did not raise an army to rebel at this moment, nor did he allow the people from Northern Xinjiang to go south, was a move that moved the world and made him a hero again.
He was deeply impressed by King Zhenbei's profound righteousness.
At the beginning, Zhao Lingfeng did not agree with Wang Zhaomin and others' tough move to cut down the vassals, which was tantamount to forcing the three vassal kings to oppose Daqian at the same time.
Zhao Lingfeng even began to wonder, was there someone secretly behind Wang Zhaomin and others?
Or are people like Wang Zhaomin so stupid to begin with?
On the other hand, look at Zhenbei King.
When Daqian was in such a critical situation, King Zhenbei not only did not add insult to injury, but instead defended Daqian from foreign invasion.
What a hero!
Although Zhao Lingfeng thought that there might be eighteenth sister Zhao Lingxin here, secretly guiding and giving advice to King Zhenbei.
But it's harmless.
Zhao Lingfeng secretly felt ashamed.
Deep inside the palace.
The old emperor Zhao Purui was busy developing the [Immortality Pill].
He looked at the prince, the prime minister and the prime minister who presented similar memorials and speeches. Although he knew in his heart that the young Zhenbei King's methods were indispensable, he didn't care at all.
The national seal was affixed and the government agreed to provide strong support for the army, food, and wages to the North.
Then, continue to concentrate on the path to immortality.
…
Northern Xinjiang.
The year of great calamity.
Droughts, locust plagues, and floods occur one after another.
It is not only the territory of Daqian that suffers from these natural disasters, other vassal kings, foreign countries and other places also suffered from natural disasters. The only difference is the seriousness of the situation.
The Golden Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang is naturally no exception.
It is also true that due to natural disasters, the production of cattle and sheep was reduced, and the Jin Kingdom had to go south to plunder.
But now the Queen Mother of the Jin Kingdom is obviously more powerful and ambitious than any previous king of Northern Xinjiang.
She mobilized the power of the whole country, and at this time of great turmoil, she led an army of 800,000 to the south.
The goal is not just to plunder some property and food.
What she wants is the entire Central Plains!
…
Northland.
Inside the military camp tent.
Facing the upcoming battle with a million-sergeant level, King Zhenbei is discussing plans and coordinating command with his generals.
A general of the Zhenbei Army was in front of the sand table map, concentrating on reporting the intelligence collected by the spies during this period——
"The main force of the 800,000-strong army in Northern Xinjiang was personally led by the Queen Mother of Northern Xinjiang, Wanyan Lingxu, and headed straight for the north."
"There is another partial force, led by Wanyan Lie, the king of Beiyuan, with about 200,000 people, attacking the west of Daqian River."
"There is also a partial force led by King Yelubu of the East Campus to attack Liaodong, but the troops are not large, so it should be a sheep move."
Facing the menacing 800,000-strong army from the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, all the generals in the military camp looked solemn and dignified.
The King of Zhenbei stood in front of the sand table and calmly deployed his power.
"There is a large area of the Orc habitat in Liaodong, and the Orc tribe's holy beast Qiling is also there. He has an offensive and defensive alliance with me in the North."
"...But Qi Ling can't really lead the orcs to risk their lives to fight against the Kingdom of Jin for our northern land."
"Wanyan Lingxu must also know about this. She definitely doesn't want to involve the orcs in this war, so Liaodong will not be the main direction of her attack."
"In the land of Hexi, Daqian's frontier army is probably unreliable now, but Yuwenhu is still in Hexi. Yuwenhu is a capable general, so the situation should not be too bad."
"The Hetao area is narrow and has many mountains and rivers, so the large-scale horsemen of the northern Xinjiang people cannot launch."
"In this way, the real place for the decisive battle can only be at the border between Northern Land and Northern Xinjiang."
After saying that, the flag in the hand of King Zhenbei fell on the sand table, which was the large plain bordering the Northland and Northern Xinjiang.
All the generals also felt something in their hearts.
But they still couldn't help but admire the king's ability to quickly combine the terrain and forces to analyze every situation amid such mixed information.
Just like the mountains, rivers and plains in the entire north, he has already memorized the layout of forces.
Suddenly, a senior spy from the Zhenbei Secret Guard entered the tent.
He came to the side of King Zhenbei and delivered the news from the Western Regions.
According to the news from Ling Long, the deputy sect master of the Western Regions Shadowbra Sect - the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in the northern Xinjiang secretly split off a partial force, intending to use the Rong Kingdoms in the Western Regions to bypass the Zhenbei Army's defense line and make a surprise attack on the rear of the North. Hexi hinterland.
"Okay, let them pass."
In the large tent of the military camp, King Zhenbei turned to look at the map of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and replied directly: "...Then, set up an ambush and kill them along the way."
"...The Yingshamen will lead the armies of the Rong Kingdoms in the Western Regions to take charge of this matter."
The top secret agent heard this and reminded him, claiming——
"The Western Region Shadow Shamen is a hidden chess move of the Yanbei Palace. It should not be exposed until it is absolutely necessary. The villain feels that it should not be exposed."
"Foreign enemy invasion, now is the moment of last resort." Zhenbei Wang responded calmly but forcefully.
…
After all the generals took their orders and retreated.
The chief of secret agents, Zhang Chunhua, met with King Zhenbei alone.
She said that as the chief of secret agents and the leader of the Shadow Brass Sect, she had a better understanding of the many Rong Kingdoms and other forces in the Western Regions and was more intimidating.
She is willing to go and lead and integrate the mixed forces of the Western Region, so that she can be used by the King in this battle to ambush the Western Region troops in the northern border.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
King Zhenbei weighed the pros and cons, agreed to Zhang Chunhua's decision, and gave her the right to make decisions on her own, but still required the other party to prioritize her own safety.
As for the secret agent liaison assignment around King Zhenbei, Yi Qiuyue temporarily took over.
All the battalions of the Zhenbei Army have already set out one after another.
In various strongholds and fortresses on the northern border, we are ready to fight against the iron hoof of the Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang.
Staff Qingsi reminded King Zhenbei——
"Our move is probably against the original 'Sea Alliance', and King Pingxi and King Dingnan will be unhappy."
"When foreign enemies invade, I naturally have to consider the overall situation. If they are unhappy, what does it have to do with me."
King Zhenbei's words were cold and firm.
He also sent an order to the secret guards in the north of the town and Ling Zhi and others from the southeast, "Always pay attention to the situation in the south. Any changes must be reported to the king."
He is fully prepared.
"After Wanyan Lingxu's army is defeated, I will take the Northern Territory first, and then the Central Plains!"
The blade of King Zhenbei's sword drew across the map, encircling the entire Dagan and Siyi.
