Chapter Seventy-Eight—The Movement of the Three Kings
The person who came turned out to be Helian Longyun, the second prince of Pilates, and it was reasonable to have such an extraordinary momentum.
Helian Longyun shook his head, his face full of sadness.
"Li Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, the king's embarrassing situation is known to the world. Most of the things mentioned in the secret letter are acceptable to this king, but there are a few points to add. ”
"Oh, the prince might as well tell me about it. ”
"The two good brothers of this king have ceased war some time ago, and they are both eyeing this king's one-third of an acre of land, presumably planning to drive this king out of the kingdom first, and then continue to fight for hegemony. ”
"If this king cooperates with you in such a play, they will definitely miss such a good opportunity, and I am already stretched thin to deal with one person, let alone two people at the same time. ”
"We have already thought of the prince's difficulties, the prince only needs to send 30,000 soldiers to Pumpguara City to confront us, and we don't need too many troops to invest in the south. After the work is done, all the promises on MeSign can be fulfilled. ”
"Li Gongzi doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the 30,000 army may be just a matter of government decree for Changshan, but for this king, it is the strength to guard several important towns!
"And this matter is related to the prince's plan, how can this king only send 30,000 soldiers to confront you, this is compared with the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of people in the past, isn't that a big joke, as long as someone has a heart to see it, they will know what is going on. ”
When Helian Longyun said these words, he shook his head again and again, his face full of confusion.
But don't listen to what he says better than sing, in front of the equally resourceful Li Xu, these words come with real-time translation.
'In the past, we could have been enemies, but now I am compelled to cooperate with you because of my brotherhood. But in order to guard against you, it is impossible to send only 30,000 soldiers to confront you. Don't think about doing anything to me, the evidence of your rebellion is in my hands, and if something happens to me, the matter will be revealed. ’
Li Xu showed a look as if he didn't understand Helian Longyun's words, and took a sip of fragrant tea again.
"Then what does the prince think should be?"
"Alas—seeing his father's life's work wantonly destroyed by the two unscrupulous men, the king was heartbroken, but he did not have enough strength to pacify them, and tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep. ”
He seemed to be genuinely distressed, and at this point he could no longer sit still just by saying this, and got up and paced around the room.
Li Xu could only speak.
"If the emperor knows, he definitely doesn't want to see the prince like this, please take care of your health. ”
"If you can kill those two guys, what if this king's body is rotten?!
There was enough foreshadowing, so Helian Longyun didn't wait for Li Xu to cooperate with him again and spoke again.
"Perhaps it was the king's sincerity that moved my father, and before receiving your secret letter, the king had a magical dream. ”
Li Xu spoke out again at the right time.
"Oh, what kind of dream is it?"
"This king dreamed of his father, and his father has always looked at the present kingdom in his eyes, and he is ten thousand times more sad than this king. As a son, when his father was still alive, he failed to fulfill his filial piety and kept the king in his throat, which was extremely uncomfortable. Seeing this, the king naturally would not miss the rare opportunity, so he asked his father what should he do. ”
"What is the emperor's answer?"
"My father prophesied that the king would receive a secret letter containing a solution to his difficulties, and he specifically reminded the king that if necessary, he could give some southern territories as a reward to thank the nobles for their charcoal in the snow. ”
Li Xu nodded.
"The emperor is really wise!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
......
The undercurrent of Changshan Prefecture is surging, and the status of the prince of Xihuai and the prince of Deliang, who are almost the same as the status of the prince of Changshan, have a heart.
Xihuaizhou is the northwest gateway of Guangwu, adjacent to Pilates and Daboji, and has a legitimate reason to maintain a huge military strength all year round.
The strength is still increasing year by year, which makes the imperial court very worried, and from time to time it uses various excuses to send troops and money.
Xihuai never paid attention to it, because under the premise that Jiuzhi ignored the government, no one could help it.
It is not accurate enough, it should not only be helpless, but also need to allocate a large amount of silver taels to it every year.
The reason why there is such a funny thing is because Xihuai is a supply place for Guangwu war horses.
However, there is an even more comical thing, that is, decades have passed, and the cavalry of other states has not been much stronger, but the Xihuai cavalry has become so strong that it can deal with the cavalry of the Great Boji like an adult beating a child, and it is not far behind the cavalry of Plataetic.
At this time, it was late at night, and Macheng, the capital of Xihuaizhou, was like other state cities, and there was an endless flow of people.
In a certain room in the prince's mansion, a middle-aged man who looked similar to Li Mingyue, but was shorter and much heavier, was reading a secret letter.
Smack-
The man slapped the secret letter on the sandalwood table and looked up and laughed.
"Hahaha-this king is worried that there is no reason to intervene in the internal affairs of Da Boji, God really helps me!
"Yes. ”
......
It stands to reason that Xihuai Prefecture should be the most important and powerful state on the Guangwu border with so many favorable factors, right? Actually, it is not, because Deliang Prefecture, which is directly south of it, is even more important than it.
Deliang Prefecture is adjacent to Linhe and is the western gateway of the capital, and there are two countries bordering it, one of which is Da Boji, who is often bullied by Xihuai cavalry.
Although the sum of these conditions is important, the fundamental reason why it can become the most powerful state in the ten states under heaven is that it borders another large country.
It is the Western Barbarians who have invaded the western part of Guangwu no less than 20 times on a large scale in the past hundred years, and it is also the place where Yang Zhengyuan was buried.
However, it is also strange to say that since Yang Zhengyuan died in the Western Barbarians, it has gradually been forgotten by the people of Guangwu, and even the people inside Deliang Prefecture have almost forgotten this terrifying country that has tormented them for a hundred years.
However, King Deliang did not reduce his armaments because of this, and the number of war horses and soldiers has been increasing year by year, as for the reason, 'the western barbarians have not invaded the frontier for a long time, and they must be gathering more forces.' In order to prevent border troubles and protect the century-old society of Guangwu, we should increase our troops!'
As for how the imperial court will reply, it is naturally the result of a game.
Today's Deliang Prefecture has 500,000 heavy soldiers, while Qinchuan Prefecture, which is one of the ten states with it, is only 80,000!
In the state capital of Liangzhou Palace, dozens of civil and military generals did not sleep in the middle of the night, arguing about something with red ears and red ears.
A man about ten years younger than Li Mingyue closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.
"This king summoned you late at night, not to discuss how to deal with the current situation, but to ask you, how about sending troops to the West Barbarians at this time?"
