"Pull the arrows off his body and change him into a suit of armor!" Seeing that Xiao Miao was dead, he hurriedly commanded.

Soon, the arrows on Xiao Miao's body were pulled out, and the bloody clothes were replaced with a set of armor. Then, he picked up Xiao Miao's sword and swiped it on Xiao Miao's neck.

"The crown prince and the king of Qi and the king of Jin rebelled, and the king of Zhao was ordered by His Majesty to suppress it, Xiao Miao was afraid of the crime and killed himself!" Said bitterly.

Almost at the same time, the Qi Wangfu and the Jin Wangfu were also raided. King Qi fought to his death. King Jin kills himself, he is the real self-killing.

In less than two quarters of an hour, three of Xiao Yin's four sons died, leaving only Xiao Yan, the king of Zhao.

By the time the city defense soldiers and horses rushed over to support, it was too late.

Xue Qianguan, the general of the Death Army, led the army to King Lu's mansion and saw the hard work leading the army out.

Under the firelight, Xue Qianguan saw the hard work of wearing armor, and shouted in shock: "Princess, what happened!" ”

Although he heard the shouts of killing and ordered the troops to come, he didn't know what she was doing when he saw the hard work at this time.

Hard work was the crown princess given by His Majesty, and he thought that hard work was here to rescue the prince.

Unexpectedly, the hard answer made his jaw drop.

"Xiao Miao conspired with the King of Qi and King Jin to rebel, on the orders of His Majesty and King Zhao, the palace led the women's army to suppress it, Xiao Miao knew that his sin was unforgivable, and he had already apologized for his guilt!"

He said bitterly, pointing to a corpse in armor that had been lifted out, and there was a wound on his neck, which did look like he had killed himself.

Looking at the dead face, it was the crown prince Xiao Miao.

Xue Qianguan and the other generals of the Death Army were taken aback, they were not stupid, how could they not know what was going on?

What a prince rebelled, this is a coup d'état launched by King Zhao!

But the question is, the prince is dead, and the truth of the matter is still important?

It is estimated that His Majesty is already under the control of King Zhao, right? Now besides supporting King Zhao, what other options are there? You can't open your eyes to the dead, can you?

At this moment, suddenly a fast horse rushed over, and the knight immediately shouted: "By the holy decree of Your Majesty, all the armies will return to the camp, and they will all be controlled by King Zhao......"

Xue Qianguan and the others sighed secretly, and could only lead the army back to the camp.

The long night was finally over.

Early the next morning, all the ministers learned of a thunderous news.

His Majesty regretted making Xiao Miao the crown prince and wanted to change the name of King Zhao. After Xiao Miao learned about it, he was unwilling and decided to join forces with King Jin of Qi to launch a rebellion and ascend the throne ahead of schedule.

It was only learned in advance by His Majesty, and he secretly ordered King Zhao and Princess Guangming to suppress it overnight.

In the end, Xiao Miao killed himself in fear of crime, the king of Jin also killed himself, and the king of Qi was killed.

Gao Lang and other Tang State spies learned that they were all celebrating with their hands, and they couldn't wait to laugh three times.

When the pro-Tang Xiao Yan came to power, the plan to swallow Liang peacefully will be much smoother, the Tang army will reduce a lot of casualties, and the people will die a lot. The vitality and popular support of the south will not be lost too much.

The women's army was secretly transferred, and the spies had known about it for a long time, and guessed that Xiao Yan was going to make a coup. So not only did they not stop it, but they also concealed the movement of the Women's Army.

And the ministers of the wealthy family are like mourning. They finally helped Xiao Miao to the position of prince, and it has only been a few days, and Xiao Miao has been killed!

Zhao Wang Xiao Yan is so hostile to the Hao family, what can I do?

Xu Yi, Gu Zhiyu and the others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, completely messed up.

For a while, I don't know how many fast horses rushed out of Jiangdu, informing their families to get ready, especially to prepare the regimental training forces under their control.

If Xiao Yan dared to do something to them, they could only fight.

On the other hand, they hurriedly prepared to send out the family beauties, woo Xiao Yan, and try to improve the relationship with Xiao Yan.

In the morning, another decree was issued throughout the country.

deposed the title of Prince Xiao Miao, established Xiao Yan as the crown prince, and supervised the regent. All major military affairs are temporarily adjudicated by the crown prince Xiao Yan.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang State Spy Party and the White Lotus Sect Old Brothers Party all congratulated and expressed their support for the first time.

And the party of ministers of the most powerful wealthy clan in the DPRK and China, after hesitating for a long time, could only pinch their noses and congratulate them.

Form is stronger than people.

Xiao Miao is dead, what else can they do? can only slowly figure it out, and first make a mistake with Xiao Yanxu.

Xiao Yan, who became the crown prince overnight, was talking hard and hard in the palace at this time.

Xiao Yan did not have the pride of becoming the crown prince after the successful coup d'état at this time.

Although he began to control the power of Liang State, Liang's future was like a thousand boulders, weighing heavily on his heart.

There are only two ways, one is to pay tribute to Tang, try to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries, and strive for the opportunity to recuperate and develop and grow. So as to continue the national ancestry.

But the road is hard. People like Li Luo will not sit idly by and watch the development and growth of the beam. Moreover, even if the beam is stronger, Li Tang will only be stronger.

Population, military strength, financial endowment, popular support, geographical advantages... In all aspects, he is not as good as Li Tang everywhere, it is too difficult to turn over, and there is almost no chance of winning.

Whenever Xiao Yan thought of the powerful combat power of the Tang Army and Li Luo's powerful methods, he couldn't give birth to Tang Liang's desire to compete for hegemony.

This road is difficult to follow, and it can only be settled for a while, and finally it will be destroyed.

Then, the safest and most realistic way is the second way.

Take the path of Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue: return to the Tang Dynasty.

This method is indeed very cowardly, but it has brought the Qian family three hundred years of wealth and wealth.

"I'm going to write a letter to Li Luo in person, explain what I mean, and try to test it first, and see what conditions Li Luo can give." Xiao Yan said, "What do you think?" ”

He groaned hard and said: "Although King Tang is treacherous, he still values credibility when he speaks. This person is also broad-minded enough, and he shouldn't be able to cook a rabbit and a dead dog. It's just that I'm worried about domestic opposition, especially Haoqiang and the Holy Brothers. ”

Xiao Yan frowned.

Oh, yes. In order to establish the country, the Holy Sect brothers have struggled for many years, and only then have they become rich, if they sacrifice their land to return to Tang, how can they agree?

Dong Huchen and Xue Qianguan and other generals, Shouyang and Gao Lang and other commanders, how could they be willing? If they don't support themselves, then if they donate their land to the Tang Dynasty, there will be many resistances, and civil strife will definitely occur.

The powerful ministers will not be even more willing.

Then, the generals and important ministers don't support it, and it's difficult to sacrifice their land to the Tang Dynasty.

Hard suddenly said viciously: "Otherwise, kill the ministers of the Hao clan together!" ”

What the?

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "It's late." Right now, they have regimental training in their hands, and half of the official positions in the local states and counties are in their hands, if they kill them, the big beam will immediately be full of smoke and ruined lives. ”

"Then tell King Tang about your concerns and ask King Tang for help. First and the Hao clan are false and wronged, confuse them, and then in the name of the national war, mobilize the regimental training, send it to the Tang army to be destroyed, and then ......" Hard suggestion.

Xiao Yan had to admit that the trick of hard work was very inferior, and it was also despicable and vicious, but it was indeed a good way.

Alas, this woman is so young and has such a sinister mind. Even if he agrees to marry him now, he won't marry him.

Don't dare to marry.

This is a poisonous snake.

He said bitterly: "As for the opposition of the Holy Sect brothers, this is urgent. Didn't you command generals such as Dong Huchen and Shao Zhong? As long as you enlist their support, things will be much easier. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, feeling that this matter was not easy. Dong Huchen, Shao Zhong and others are all generals who sit on one side and are loyal to Daliang. Let them support themselves to sacrifice their land to Tang, it's difficult!

Xiao Yan personally wrote a long letter to Li Luo at the moment, expressing his heart. Then he sent his henchmen to Lin'an.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan held a court meeting to appease the ministers of the Hao clan and confuse them first.

…………

"Xiao Yan really did it!" Cui Xiuning got the news and came to Lingxu Pavilion as soon as possible.

Li Luo's eyes lit up, "I really didn't guess wrong, this person must be unwilling." I just didn't expect him to move so fast. He took the information and looked at it, "No wonder, it was this little girl who helped him." ”

Cui Xiuning sat down next to Li Luo, "Xiao Yin died three sons in one night, and he was also under house arrest by Xiao Yan. With his body, it is estimated that he will be able to live for a few months, and then it will be completely Xiao Yan's final say. How likely do you think Xiao Yan is to return to Tang? ”

Li Luo said with a smile: "Fighting side by side with Xiao Yan for a few months, I deliberately showed the strength of Datang, and I did not hide my means, and my open-mindedness was also reflected, which was to plant a seed in his heart." ”

"I just want to hint to him that the Tang Dynasty is determined to unify the world, extinguish his luck mentality, and make him unable to resist reunification. Then once he takes control of the Liang State, it will be easier to surrender. ”

"Sure enough. This person has become pro-Tang. Now our strength far surpasses that of Liang State, as long as we maintain strong pressure on Liang State, I estimate that he will not dare to fight, and there is a seventy or eighty percent probability that he will surrender his land. ”

"It's really deliberate." Cui Xiuning shook his head and pointed out two horns on his head with his fingers, "Devil." No wonder the enemy says you're treacherous. ”

Li Luo said: "He is very afraid of me. If he had the intention of surrendering, we should have received his letter soon. If you don't believe in me, you will be lost in the throne and want to gamble. ”

"I hope to hear from him." Cui Xiuning said, "If he really has the intention of surrendering his land, then his letter has nothing more than three purposes." The first is to show the heart, the second is to ask for conditions, and the third is to ask for help. The key is the second, how do we reply? ”

Li Luo stood up, walked to the map shelf, stopped and thought for a while, and then drew a stroke at the position of Liang Guo, "Such a large Liang country, regardless of population and territory, surpasses Wu Yue country. Qian Yu dedicated his land to the Song Dynasty that year, and was named King Deng, and he was still the king of one word. In the past few hundred years, the Qian family has been very wealthy. ”

"Datang, he will not be crowned a king with a different surname. We are not Zhao Kuangyin either. I think one national prince should be enough. ”

Cui Xiuning frowned, "It's true that you can't give it to the prince." But Guogong, is he willing? ”

"With the addition of the four words hereditary replacement, it should be enough. If he doesn't want to, I don't have to do it. Anyway, if it is not the Li family and not the king, I can't make an example of a different surname being crowned a king. Li Luo said very resolutely.

"If you don't want to, you will fight, even if there are many dead people. Although Qian Yu himself was crowned king, his descendants were only princes of the country. ”

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "He should be able to accept the hereditary title of Duke of the country." The question is, what about his men? For example, people like Zheng Zhenjiu? ”

Li Luo didn't think much about it, "Except for Dong Huchen and Gao Lang and other people, the real monarchs and ministers of the Liang State can only have one prince, one marquis, four uncles, eight sons, and ten men. Twenty dragon forbidden lieutenants, twenty cloud rider lieutenants. ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "Sixty-four nobles and lords, they can only give so much." However, there are more than 200 people with the fifth-class titles of Liang State, and three-quarters of them will lose their titles, and there will be many people who are dissatisfied. ”

Li Luo sneered, "Don't be afraid." There are more than 200 titles, many of which are ministers of wealthy families. They are all objects of the revolution, and where are they still knighthoods. ”

Cui Xiuning slapped his forehead, "Damn, after talking for a long time, I didn't know that I thought Liang Guo had surrendered." There is nothing to do with the eight characters. ”

But in the evening, Xiao Yan's letter arrived.

"Xiao Yan is afraid of what I'm afraid of." Li Luo was a little proud, "Look! As soon as his coup d'état was successful, the first thing he did was to write to me and ask you if you were convinced. ”

Li Luo opened the letter and saw that it was a beautiful Chu style book. Li Luo looked at it, the corners of his mouth slowly smiled, and finally he couldn't help laughing, "He is afraid that Dong Huchen and other generals will oppose it, haha, how can Huchen and others object?" ”

Cui Xiuning took the letter with disgust, "What's so funny about this, Xiao Yan doesn't know that they are our people, Huchen and they are loyal, of course Xiao Yan is worried that they oppose surrender." ”

She looked at the letter, "The tone is quite respectful, what is the name of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Well, it was agreed to secretly claim the courtiers? ”

Cui Xiuning read the letter, "He clearly said that he would sacrifice his land and surrender." I think his solution to the regimental training is feasible, but it is a little shameless. ”

"I'll write back to him now. Tell him how to do it. The conditions were also directly told to him and let him choose. Li Luo didn't think about it for long, so he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xiao Yan.

He first expressed his glad acceptance, and said that he would give the Duke of Zhao Guo the title of hereditary replacement. In addition, Xiao Yan was asked to pretend to maintain the Triple Alliance, firstly, to confuse the wealthy clans in the country, and secondly, to facilitate the counterattack on the battlefield at that time.

In this way, the intensity of the war for the reunification of the south can be minimized, and the losses can be minimized.

Li Luo was not worried about the Song army, but the Dali army.

Because Dali is on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it occupies an absolute geographical advantage, and the folk customs are also strong, so it is really difficult to fight. If you can't solve the main force of Dali's army neatly, it will cost a lot of money and time to take Dali.

With the Liang army fighting back on the battlefield, then the Dali army will most likely be finished quickly, and Yunnan will be very easy to fight.

Li Luo also asked Xiao Yan to force the Hao clan to come up with more food, give relief to the people, and starve to death as little as possible.

After writing the letter, it was sent overnight and secretly sent to Gangneung.

Liang Guo's peach is getting ripe and ripe.

"One more thing." Cui Xiuning suddenly said, "I can't make up my mind either." Zhang Zuxing, whose whole family defected, should be notified to the whole country so that people can take it as a warning? I think there are pros and cons. ”

Li Luo shook his head without thinking, "I can't report it." Not only can it not be reported, but it must be concealed. Once this is reported, I think it will do more harm than good. ”

"The fate of a traitor is shameful, but it is indeed a warning. But this traitor is Tang Jun. This will affect the image of our army, disgrace the Tang army, which has always been tall, and is not conducive to the morale of the army. ”

"And, once it's reported, someone has to be responsible. Zhang Zuxing's superiors can't run away, the village where Zhang's family is located can't run away, and the guards at the border checkpoint can't escape. This implication is a long list. ”

"Also, if the report is out, Song Guo and Dali will know. They will ask Liang Guo for firearms secrets. If Liang Guo gives it, it will not be good for us, and if Liang Guo does not give it, it will not be good for the two countries to pretend to maintain a relationship of trust. ”

Cui Xiuning smiled bitterly, "I think so too, so I haven't ordered a notification, so let's press it down." In fact, many defectors in later generations were also treated coldly, for fear of affecting the morale of the people. ”

Li Luo rubbed his eyebrows and rubbed his face, "At the end of the year at the latest, we must use soldiers." First, I have to compete with Uncle Kublai Khan, and second, I can try not to affect the agricultural time in the south. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Don't worry." Now that the 200,000 ploughing cattle are divided, the output of autumn grain will certainly increase by a large margin. There is no problem with the use of troops at the end of the year. However, it must be the snow season at that time, and the transportation logistics are inconvenient. ”

Li Luo said indifferently: "It's inconvenient for me, and it's inconvenient for the enemy." Now the main thing is to let them do it first and lure the main force of Dali out of Yunnan. ”

"Duan Qing is dying. The chronic poison in him has a month to live at most. Xiao Ji is finally going to be the queen. The agents are helping her out. The Dali army will definitely come out. Cui Xiuning said very calmly.

Li Luo couldn't help but ask: "Who gave the poison?" Our people? ”

Cui Xiuning shook her head, "No." After our people became Xiao Zhen's cronies, they only instigated her to find a way to let the crown prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, because her father-in-law was only in his forties and was in good health. She is poisoned by her own thoughts, and she should have been prepared before she got married. ”

"It's poisonous." Li Luo felt a little chill on his body.

Cui Xiuning smiled happily, "Are you afraid?" If you did marry her before, maybe she would have fed you poison... No, I should have fed me poison. ”

"What poison?" Li Luo was a little curious, "There are not many kinds of poisons in ancient times, so it's really embarrassing for her." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "I guess it's that kind of plant-type poison. It's certainly not arsenic, something violent, low-level. ”

"The king, Niangniang, Li Zhi asks to see." The female officer Yan Chan came in to play.

"Biography."

"No."

Li Luo's spirit was shocked, the Special Investigation Bureau must have important information.

"King, teacher." Li Zhi reported directly after the ceremony:

"I just got the news that Zhao Chang, who is far away in Java, has conquered most of the Nanyang Islands and subdued millions of islanders of all ethnic groups. Zhao Chang took Chen Yizhong as the prime minister, Chen Daju as the privy council envoy, and Hattori Maruzo as the governor of the navy. ”

"Zhao Chang's Song army had 40,000 Han troops, 7,000 Japanese troops, 20,000 Vietnamese troops, and 3,000 Goryeo Sanbei troops. This is his main force. In addition, there are more than 100,000 barbarians on the island. That adds up to 200,000! ”

"Zhao Chang followed the example of the Yuan court and implemented the classification of various ethnic groups. Han people, Japanese people, Yue people, and Korean people are first; The first natives who took refuge were second-class, and the natives who took refuge later were third-class. ”

"Zhao Chang built warships in the South Seas and built weapons and armor. It is planned to take the Northern Expedition next spring! ”

What the?

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning were a little stunned. Unexpectedly, the small court of Quanzhou back then tossed such a big storm after running to Nanyang.

Actually accounted for the later generations of Indonesia?

Also, when Zhao Chang led the fleet to Nanyang four years ago, there were only more than 10,000 remnants of the Han rebel army, the Japanese Japanese Japanese and the Goryeo Sanbeku, how could there be so many Han troops in a few years?

Could it be that he collected the exiled Han and Annam people on the Nanyang Islands?

Li Luo didn't guess wrong. Zhao Chang did collect the exiled Han and Annam people from the Nanyang Islands, which greatly increased the military strength.

Li Zhi continued: "On the second day of the first month of this year, the Song fleet set out from Borneo and fought a decisive battle with the fleet of the Shinha Sali Kingdom in the southern waters of Borneo. ”

"In the first half of the first month, the Song army's privy envoy Chen Daju fought with the Xinhe Shali Kingdom in Wulan, Chen won a big victory, killed tens of thousands of Xinhe soldiers, and Ketaraga fled again."

"In the middle of the first month, the Song army captured the capital of Xinhasali and beheaded the king Ketaraga. The Japanese soldiers were the first to slaughter, followed by the Vietnamese and Goryeo soldiers, and finally the Han soldiers also participated. The Song army did not count the killings, and the dead numbered hundreds of thousands. The kingdom of Shin Hashari perished. ”

"In the second half of the first month, the Song army fought a decisive battle with the fleet of Srivijaya in the eastern sea area of Jinzhou Island (Sumatra). The Three Buddhas were defeated. The Song army landed on Jinzhou. In mid-February, he invaded the city of Bolimbang and destroyed the kingdom of Srivijaya. ”

"In late February, Zhao Chang took Bolimbang (Palembang) as his line and changed Bolimbang to Anjing. In March, he destroyed the kingdom of Subunna, and there was all the ...... of Jinzhou."

Li Luo frowned, "So, Hai Song already owns Borneo, Jinzhou, Java Island, and Luzon, and destroys the Three Kingdoms in a row?" ”

If this is the case, then Zhao Chang will occupy most of the South Seas in later generations.

Li Zhi replied: "Yes." Hai Song changed Borneo to Luozhou, Jinzhou to Jinzhou, Java Island to Hengzhou, and Luzon to Luzhou. The tribal lords of these four states have been loyal to Hai Song. Zhao Chang appointed them as pacification envoys, Xuanfu envoys and other official positions. ”

"One more important point. Hai Song built a lot of boats last year, and the strength of the sailor is second only to my Datang! Moreover, Hai Song had already sent an envoy to Guangzhou. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "After you go down, increase the manpower of Nanyang, and there must be news every month at most in the future." ”

"No." Li Zhi led the order to retreat and went to arrange it overnight.

The Tang State did not pay much attention to the distant South Seas before, and intelligence paid little attention. But now it's different.

Li Luo asked Cui Xiuning: "What about the topographic map of the South Seas you drew before?" ”

"In the Fleur Court." Cui Xiuning stood up and walked out.

The two of them came to the Furao Pavilion, found the map of the South Seas drawn a long time ago in the security cabinet, and looked at it together.

"Hai Song's sphere of influence is already close to Thailand in later generations. It has already held Malacca and sealed the Maritime Silk Road. I guess Zhao Chang will soon use troops against Siam and extend his influence into the mainland. Cui Xiuning said.

Li Luo smiled: "This Zhao Chang, who has been in Nanyang for four years, has already become a blockbuster if he doesn't make a sound, and he is a character." He actually learned from Kublai Khan and defeated him with raze. ”

Cui Xiuning nodded at Sumatra, "Hai Song will go on a northern expedition next spring." Most of them were to occupy Xiangzhou and Jiaozhou first, so that they could occupy the entire South Seas. At that point, the power swells. The natives on those islands were not highly civilized, and they were easily obedient after being subdued by the Song army. ”

Li Luo said: "It's a pity that he has too few East Asian soldiers in his hands. The combined Han, Japanese, Goryeo, and Annam soldiers were only 70,000. He will definitely think of ways to dig up the population on the mainland. ”

Cui Xiuning said with a smile: "The small court in Guangzhou must know the news. You say, is it possible for the two Song Dynasty to converge? ”

The confluence of the two songs?

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, is it possible?

"I know you don't think it's possible." Cui Xiuning became a little serious, "But I think it's possible." Do you know why? Because Zhao Liangchao is infertile. He has dozens of concubines, and none of them have been pregnant for so long. Someone in the Song court in Guangzhou has asked to find the descendants of the Zhao family and pass it on to Zhao Liangchao. ”

What's even more interesting is that Zhao Chang is just a generation lower than Zhao Liangchao, and according to the rules, he wants to call Uncle Zhao Liangchao, as if he is still within the five suits. Hehe, you still think it's impossible? ”

Li Luo's eyes were cold.

It's possible!

And the possibilities are high!

This kind of thing happened many times in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is entirely possible that Zhao Chang will pass on to Zhao Liangchao, so as to realize the confluence of the two songs.

The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty also had a tradition of being emperors. It is entirely possible that Zhao Liangchao abdicated for the sake of the overall situation. Once the two Song Dynasty merge, the strength will be much stronger.

Zhao Chang has been in the Nanyang Islands for four years, and he must have accumulated a lot of resources and conquered a large number of natives.

If it merged with the Song court in Guangzhou, which occupied Guangdong and Hainan in later generations, it would become a great power.

Li Luo sat down, he had to think about it, from the overall situation and in the long run, the pros and cons of the confluence of the two Song Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Xiuning was also thoughtful, and seemed to be thinking about this matter.

After a long time, Li Luo smiled easily, "Just let them merge." ”

Cui Xiuning also nodded, "That's right, let them merge." ”

The two thought of going together, and couldn't help but smile at each other, and the husband and wife knew each other tacitly.

PS: That's all for tonight, keep asking for support. Alas, I'm getting more and more short-sighted, and my heart is congested. The frost and cold night are long, and the code word is in the west window. I can't see the moon when I look up, and I look down and my feet are cold.
