Chapter 577: Analysis Before the Great War

The relationship between the imperial court and Xuanwu was not eased by Zhu Youyu and Zhu Yourang's entry into Beijing, but became more delicate.

If Zhu Youyu had entered Beijing before, there would have been many people who would have come to visit, but this time there was not. Zhu Yourang's mansion is a door, and even some ministers who were good friends with Xuanwu before did not dare to visit openly.

These ministers are not fools, the actions of the saint show that the saint intends to solve the problem of Xuanwu by force, and at this time he shows that he has a close relationship with Xuanwu, isn't he looking for death?

However, before he really used troops against Xuanwu, Li Ye would not embarrass Zhu Youyu and Zhu Yourang.

With the delay of time, just when everyone in the world thought that the imperial court would solve Dong Chang first before mobilizing troops against Xuanwu.

Taining Jiedu made Zhu Jin and Henghai Jiedu envoy Lu Yanwei and Qizhou assassin Shi Huo Cun, a total of 60,000 troops were sent to reinforce the Tianping Army, and Pang Shigu was defeated under the city of Yunzhou, and Xuanwu lost more than 40,000 soldiers.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Wen was furious and ordered Hu Zhen and Wang Chongshi to gather 100,000 troops to reinforce Pang Shigu. At the same time, under the persecution of Zhu Wen, Wei Bojun Luo Hongxin also sent an army of 30,000 to attack the Henghai Jiedu envoy.

Xuanwu's fiasco in Yunzhou and Wei Bo's joining the Xuanwu camp can be said to have become a fuse.

The imperial court then ordered Wei Bo's army to prohibit him from participating in the war and ordered Wei Bo's army to withdraw. But Luo Hongxin didn't know what was crazy, so he chose to stand on Zhu Wen's side at this time, gritted his teeth and insisted, and decided that it was the Henghai Navy that invaded Wei Bo for no reason, and Wei Bo just fought back.

Seeing that Wei Bo was determined to stand on Zhu Wen's side, Li Ye naturally couldn't bear it, and directly ordered the Zuo Shenwu army to march to Cizhou, ready to attack Xiangzhou and Weizhou at any time.

At the same time, the right Shence army marched to Zezhou, and the left Yulin army marched to Xingzhou, and at one time the three forbidden armies approached the border of Wei Bojiedu.

At the same time as the army suppressed Wei Bo, the imperial court ordered the Xuanwu army to withdraw from the Tianping Jiedu envoy and the Taining Jiedu envoy station, and asked Zhu Wen to immediately enter Beijing to explain the reason.

No matter how you look at it, the imperial court doesn't want to forget it like this.

When the imperial army began to assemble one after another, Xuanwu's army also began to mobilize, and for a while, the world knew that the imperial court had endured Xuanwu for many years, and finally it couldn't bear it anymore.

However, it is also normal, today's Xuanwu is too powerful, if Xuanwu is allowed to annex Tianping and Taining, Xuanwu will no longer be able to control it. At that time, Xuanwu is afraid that he will first make a move against the imperial court, and then challenge the rule of the imperial court.

Rather than this, the imperial court is naturally willing to strike first for the wall.

。。。。。。

Chang'an, Daming Palace Zichen Palace.

At this time, the three ranks and above of the DPRK and the Central Committee gathered, including the left and right prison guards, several generals of the Zuo Shenwei Army and the Zuo Tiance Army were also here, and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Fu Cunxian, was also there.

On the side of the Zichen Palace, a huge sand table was put together on the side of the main hall, the length and width were more than one zhang, and the labels on it were also very detailed, each county, important passes and main roads were marked, including mountains and rivers are also relatively clear.

It's not that these ministers haven't seen the sand table, but what they have seen before is relatively simple, far less intuitive and clear than the one in front of them.

However, the area presented by this sand table is not large, only including the area north of the Yangtze River and east of Longyou.

At this time, the sand table was filled with a lot of flags, the yellow flag represented the imperial forbidden army, the black represented Xuanwu, and the flags of other feudal towns were remarked with the names of each feudal town, and the flags were green. If it is a feudal town that is biased towards the imperial court, there will be a yellow strip on the green flag; If it is biased towards Xuanwu, it is a black strip on the green.

The whole sand table is distinguished by using these small colored flags.

Responsible for explaining to the ministers is Li Sizhou, the king of Qin, because he is the secretary of the military department, and he has a better understanding of the current situation, and the news coming from the front should not only be given to the Privy Council, but also to the military department.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, according to the information currently available to the imperial court, Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, did not enter Beijing to ask for guilt in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and more than 100,000 Xuanwu troops have surrounded Yunzhou.

Since Wei Bo's army was attacking Dezhou, Lu Yanwei of the Henghai Navy had ordered the 20,000 troops of Tianping to withdraw to Henghai through Qizhou.

According to Jinyiwei's information, the Xuanwu Army may have mastered the manufacturing method of the Tiance Cannon and the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, and the number is unknown. This means that Yunzhou's defense may not last long, and if Yunzhou is broken, the balance will be annexed by Xuanwu. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask for a battle!" Li Cunxiao on the side hugged his fist.

Li Ye raised his hand to stop the other party, "I already know Aiqing's loyalty." King Qin, you can briefly talk about the deployment of the crusade on the side of the military department now, since Zhu Wen is determined to oppose the imperial court, then take this opportunity to annihilate Zhu Wen and pacify the Central Plains. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Sizhou nodded and said, "Return to Your Majesty." The plan of the military department was to launch an attack on Xuanwu from the southeast, north, and west.

In the west, the left and right Tiance army, the left Shenwei army, the right Yulin army and the Shenji battalion were the mainstay, attacking Luoyang and Zhengzhou along the direction of Shaanzhou and Luoyang, and finally reaching the city of Bianzhou;

In the north, the right Shence army, the left Yulin army and the left Shenwu army were the main ones to conquer Weibo, and then the army crossed the Yellow River in the south and cooperated with the army in the west to conquer Bianzhou;

In the east, the Pinglu Army, the Taining Army and the Tianping Army, plus the Heng Navy, gathered the soldiers and horses of the four towns, mainly containing the main force of the Xuanwu Army;

In the south, the Right Dragon Army was the main force, which was a partial division, mainly threatening the Loyal Army, so that the Loyal Army could not fully reinforce the war in the north.

The meaning of the military department is to focus on the west and north sides, and the east and south sides to supplement. ”

"How are the state soldiers and solidarity soldiers of the various provinces assembled? What happened to the other feudal towns? Li Ye looked at the sand table and asked.

In this campaign against Xuanwu, the forbidden army dispatched nine branches, which is more than 200,000 people. If you count the armies of the four towns of Pinglu, Tianping, Taining and Henghai, there are more than 300,000 troops, but if you want to pacify Zhu Wen with these troops, your strength is still a little thin.

"Back to Your Majesty, Jingzhao Mansion has gathered 10,000 people, 15,000 people from Guannei Province, 20,000 people from Shannan West Road, 20,000 people from Sichuan Province, 8,000 people from Shannan East Province, 8,000 people from Jingnan Province, and 30,000 people from Hedong Province, a total of 111,000 people.

These troops will be in place in two months. ”

"What about the other feudal towns?" Li Ye frowned.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the war on the front line is urgent, the Privy Council plans to transfer the Right Shenwu Army back!" Pei Rong hurriedly said.

"Don't you understand? I'm asking about other feudal towns! Li Ye said loudly.

Pei Rong's face was embarrassed, he looked at Li Sizhou, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, among the many feudal towns, only Shaanzhou, Xia Sui, and Lingwu agreed to send troops.

Huainan and Xuanzhou were unable to send troops on the grounds that the war was urgent;

Zhenwu and Lu Long refused on the grounds that the border pass was critical;

The three towns of Chengde, Yicheng and Wuchang have not replied for the time being。。。。。 ”
