229 Disorder
。 Thinking of the injury, I couldn't help but look at Hanyue. Maybe it was because she had a heart, maybe she also thought about the injury that day, her eyes also shot at me, her eyes met, Han Yue's face was slightly red, and she drooped down. Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help coughing dryly, and I quickly withdrew my gaze. The emperor pretended to clear his throat and said, "In order to resist the raids of foreign races in the south, even the four battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor have been transferred to the north with two battalions, which shows how empty the strength of the Beijing division is!" As a last resort, I had no choice but to agree with King Cheng's advice and transfer troops from all over the country and the country of Pan to defend against the aliens. Fortunately, the provincial governors and feudal states should send troops, and these military horses have already circled the Beijing division to the north, and they will soon be able to replace the Beijing army as a garrison, and the urgent need for the empty strength of the Beijing division can also be quickly alleviated. But I was one step away from chess, and I was exploited by King Cheng! ”
From the emperor's words, I guess that King Cheng has already taken action, and once this action is in full swing, it will definitely be a thunderbolt, and maybe the whole country will change the sky only in the middle of a hand. If it weren't for King Cheng's actions to give me a place to play, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have secretly received me today. Otherwise, he would definitely choose to hide behind me and watch me sing a one-man show in the dark that he didn't know about.
"These days, the army I mobilized from Gansu and other provinces has been going to the northern front one after another, and the army of Dujiang has not arrived for a long time, what do you think is the reason?"
I said: "Long live, all the officials in the court said that the treasury was empty, and King Cheng deliberately collected a large amount of money and grain from his own feudal country to fill the treasury and fund military supplies, thus delaying the trip. Listening to the meaning of Banzai now, it seems that things are not so simple! ”
The emperor did not answer my question, but: "The so-called spectrum of the world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Isn't everything in the world mine? Now that the treasury is empty, there is no grain and no silver, but the treasury is full, and I can only degrade the nobles to borrow silver and grain from him, is this not a great irony, is it not a harbinger of the danger of my country? ”
I deeply sympathize with the fact that the army spends a huge amount of money, and the armor, equipment, and people eat and chew all need a lot of money and silver, and once the treasury bottoms out, the army has nothing to eat and nothing to support in battle, and any army will disintegrate without blood. If King Cheng didn't cherish his reputation and openly cut off his support for the capital, it would not take three months, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital and the north, and millions of people would fall into a situation where there was no food to eat.
Seeing my approving expression, the emperor did not continue, but answered my question: "Of course it's not that simple, last night I received a secret report from Cangzhou that an army of 150,000 people passed through Cangzhou and headed north. Can you hear the problem? At that time, I was worried that he would take advantage of the war on the northern border to lead a large army northward and take advantage of my unpreparedness to conquer the Beijing division in one fell swoop, so I specially limited the number of troops he transferred, and only allowed him to transfer 60,000 troops and another 15,000 people, a total of only 75,000 people. And I am always vigilant about his actions, and when I am on guard, the army left behind by the Beijing division is enough to resist. But now that his army has doubled, the situation is not good for me. Now that the Beijing division is in short supply, this 150,000-strong army is enough to change the future! ”
When I heard the figure of 150,000, I was deeply shocked, you must know that the emperor's holy decree only asked him to mobilize 60,000 troops and 15,000 people, even if you add the battalion of soldiers and horses in Jiangxi who accompanied Jiang Shu's army, the total is only 80,000. King Cheng, he blatantly disobeyed the will and brought such an army to say that it was not a rebellion, and who would believe it? Now all the troops of the Beijing Division, counting the more than 10,000 people in Shuntianfu, and only 80,000 of the poor officials, the news of the defeat in the north a few days ago has made the hearts of the people in the Beijing Division fluctuate and the morale of the army is low, how can they resist? Such an army of thousands of miles on an expedition, until Cangzhou actually had someone to play to the heavens, does this mean that the entire Lu land has become the territory of King Cheng? Otherwise, as soon as the army enters Ludi, the local officials should inform it (do not say that the army is well hidden, no matter how careful you are, it is impossible for an army of 150,000 to go undetected).
