Chapter 618: King Yong's Fangs

The return and departure of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, is hardly the slightest wave for the current political situation of the Wei king's capital, Daliang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After all, the time for Zhao Hongrun's return this time is too short, and in terms of only a few days, I believe that many people in the Daliang government and the opposition don't even know that His Royal Highness has returned to Daliang.

On the contrary, it was the Fencheng army stationed in the Junshui camp on weekdays, and their movements made the Daliang people even more suspicious.

However, under the slow revelation of the Imperial Court's Ministry of Rites, the people gradually learned that the Fencheng army would rush to Jiangdong to crusade against Chu as one of the troops under the command of King Su Hongrun.

The three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei invaded Chu!

When this news came, it can be said that the whole country was boiling, especially Zhaoling, Huaiyang and other county towns that had received many refugees from the national war two years ago, and those young Wei people gathered on the streets of the county, competing to put forward the slogan of being willing to be the pawn of the Su Wangjun.

Come to think of it, after more than ten years of harassment and invasion of Wei by the Chu State, after the fuse of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who led a 160,000-strong army to invade the Wei State, two years ago, the anti-Chu sentiment of the Wei people in the southern part of Yingshui County was completely provoked.

The people in the county earnestly hoped that the county commander Zhao Zhun would allow them to prepare for the righteous army and send troops to Chuxi to assist King Su Hongrun in this national war.

And this kind of big event, how dare Zhao Zhun dare to answer Zhaoling County?

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Zhun did not stop him, maybe Zhaoling County would really be able to prepare a rebel army of tens of thousands of people in just a few days, and the bee chrysalis would rush into the territory of Chu in the south and fight with the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng.

After all, in today's Wei State, Zhaoling County can be called the county seat with the most serious hatred of Chu State, because this county seat accommodates more than 100,000 Wei people who were victimized in the battle of Chu and Wei two years ago.

Fortunately, Zhaoling County also has a regular garrison army, that is, the Zhaoling Army led by Chen Shi, the former Yanling military captain, Wang Shu, the former Linying military captain, and Ma Zhang, the former Xihua military captain, an army with a full formation of 10,000 people.

The deterrent power of this army, coupled with the prestige gradually established by the county commander Zhao Zhun on weekdays, made the people of Zhaoling County finally not come to the point where they were close to rioting.

In contrast, on the contrary, it was Anling, a county town that was also hostile to the Chu people, because of the incident between the two counties a while ago, it seemed to be more rational, and it did not almost cause a riot like Zhaoling.

Maybe these Anling people have not yet come out of the shadow of their own defeat in the two-county covenant a while ago.

As for Shangshui County, this land, which actually belonged to the feudal province of King Hongrun, had already entered the stage of war preparation: Gu Liangwei, the first garrison general, personally led half of the remaining 10,000 Shangshui troops, stationed at the solid wall in the south of the county; The second garrison general, Wu Majiao, complied with the special authority during the war, temporarily recruited 20,000 Shangshui people, formed a reserve, and practiced every day to consolidate the defense of Shangshui County.

After all, Shangshui County is too far south, and its geographical location is as important as Runan in the Chu State, once Shangshui is lost, the Wei side may have to retreat until Yanshui before it has a chance to fight back again.

Because of this, the Junshui Army, which is now defending the Fencheng Fortress instead of the Fencheng Army, also deliberately deploys its troops to the Shangshui side: Cao Jue, the general of the Xiaocai Battalion, under the instruction of the general Bailiba, goes back and forth between the Fencheng Fortress and the solid wall every few days, ready to support Shangshui at any time.

And the unknown Shangshui Green Crows also stopped their efforts to attack the hidden thieves in the Wei State, recalled a large number of people, or sent people to keep an eye on the wind and grass near Shangshui, or infiltrated into the territory of Chu State, and always monitored the movements of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the monarch of Pingyu.

Although many people know in their hearts that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, has private dealings with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, but under the general trend of the three kingdoms of Qilu and Wei to attack Chu, no one thinks that the agreement between Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Tuo is still possible to continue.

It is precisely because of this that after coming to Shangshui County, Gu Liangwei, who was pampered and pampered, would personally come to the front line of the battlefield of Guqiang, which he imagined, that is, to guard against Xiong Tuo.

Looking at Pingyu, Zhengyang, Shangcai and other places, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu has already deployed heavy troops and blocked the river.

It is no exaggeration to say that at present, the border between Wei and Chu can be described as a tense atmosphere and dense war clouds, and it may become the second battlefield of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei to attack Chu at any time.

But having said that, although the situation here is tense, Wang Du Liang doesn't pay much attention to the affairs here.

Because according to Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Li Feng and other far-sighted courtiers, the possibility of a direct fight between Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu and Shangshui County of Wei is very small, in contrast, it is more urgent to threaten from the north.

That's right, it's South Korea!

Don't look at the fact that South Korea has not yet sent troops to capture Shangdang and Hedong of Wei, but that is just the opportunity that King Han is waiting for.

The courtiers and celebrities had no doubt that once Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, appeared in Jiangdong, and once the allied forces of Qi, Lu, and Wei officially attacked Chu, then the Korean side would immediately send troops to Wei.

It is precisely for this reason that at first Zhao Hongrun was reluctant to support Qi State, he even thought about getting it casually, but he didn't expect that the generous gift given by Lu Xi, the king of Qi, made him unable to refuse.

Father and son have talked about this: this may be the biggest crisis of Wei in recent decades, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is foreseeable that after this battle, the state of Qi lost the king of Qi, Lu Xi, and then the domestic princes competed for the throne and became a third-rate; And even if the state of Chu survived stubbornly under the attack of the combined forces of Qi, Lu, and Wei, it is believed that its strength will be greatly affected.

In other words, as long as Wei can survive this hurdle, then at least in the next few years, they no longer have to worry about Qi or Chu, as long as they concentrate on dealing with Korea in the north, which gives Wei a chance to rise.

And the key to this opportunity lies in whether Wei can defend the northern border and resist South Korea's invasion with more than 50,000 troops transferred by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su. Even if you don't want to defeat South Korea, at least you have to hold out until Zhao Hongyun returns to China with the victorious army.

Don't think this is an easy task, after all, in the current Shangdang and Hedong areas, there are only two regular armies, the Southern Yan Army and the Chenggao Army, with a total of only 30,000 people, and the rest are all reserves temporarily recruited by Wei Mu, the general of Southern Yan.

Fortunately, Wei Tianzi trained a Great Wei army of 50,000 people in the suburbs of Daliang Beijing, and Shaohu, the chief of the Zongwei beside Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, served as the general, otherwise, in the face of Tianmen Pass, Mengmen Pass and as many as 100,000 Korean cavalry troops in the north, the Wei government and the opposition may have already panicked.

But unfortunately, the 50,000 Great Wei Wu Army was still in the training stage, and Wei Tianzi did not intend to put it into the battlefield in the north unless the battle situation was urgent.

But in this way, the pressure on the north is not insignificant.

And at this time, it reflects the ingenuity of Zhou Yu, a famous man in the East Palace: the imperial court did not spend a single copper shallow to let those nobles willingly spend a lot of money and build a lot of troops, which reduced the pressure on the defense line for the imperial court.

And the only thing to worry about is that the private army of those nobles is like a plate of scattered sand at the moment, lacking a commander who sits in the governor's seat.

On the morning of the tenth day of the seventh month, Wang Can, the right attendant of the military department, raised this matter in the court meeting.

There is nothing in this matter itself, the key is that after Wang Can raised this matter, King Yongwang Hongyu came out to echo it.

"What Wang Shilang said is extremely true. …… Han Chen's soldiers had ill intentions outside the northern border of our Great Wei, and Erchen suspected that he was waiting for our Great Wei to send troops to assist Qi in crusading against Chu, or, after the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei were connected, Chu and Han also secretly contacted and joined the alliance. …… This time, the eighth prince's brother Hongrun led the army to the battle, and Erchen suspected that Korea would take advantage of the situation and invade the northern border of our Great Wei, so he had to guard against it. Speaking of this, King Yong Hongyu knelt down in the hall and said righteously: "Erchen is also the prince of my Great Wei, and he is also willing to guard the country for my Great Wei." …… The Korean invasion was imminent, and the son implored his father and emperor to allow the son to serve as the governor of northern Xinjiang. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the palace was in an uproar, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at King Yong's Hongyu with strange eyes, and muttered secretly in their hearts: His Royal Highness King Yong, don't you think that you can't fight in the East Palace in Daliang, so you take the opportunity to escape and take the opportunity to seek a fief?

I think most people think so, but there are also some people who look at King Yong's eyes and look at Yongwang Hongyu is obviously a little wrong.

For example, Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and so on.

Of course, this also includes Wei Tianzi.

It's been silent for a long time, are you just waiting for this opportunity? …… Hongyu?

Wei Tianzi quietly glanced at Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, who was also standing in the hall at this moment, but saw that the latter was looking at King Yongyu with a surprised and unexpected expression, but he didn't realize the evil spirit contained in the latter's words.

East Palace...... Not as good as King Yong.

Wei Tianzi sighed secretly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the ministry, stand up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yong's words are very good, but the ministers think that this matter is a big matter, it is better to discuss it for a few days and then make a decision." ā€

What did he stand up for?

The courtiers in the palace may not understand, and they looked at the left attendant of the official department in confusion.

Even, even Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, frowned and glanced back at Xi Jiang, perhaps scolding in his heart: The second child is going to Northern Xinjiang to die, just let him go, what nonsense are you talking about? As soon as he left, Hongu had just the opportunity to clean up his people.

Facing the displeased and even angry eyes of the prince of the East Palace, Xi Jiang, the left attendant of the ministry, secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

Maybe he was also secretly scolding: You idiot! I'm saving you! King Yong went to northern Xinjiang, do you think the Wang family will have good fruits to eat? When the time comes, King Yong will casually come to a fake public and private matter, and he can easily kill the Wang family! If there is no Wang family, what will you, the prince of the East Palace, still have?!

Regardless of whether Xi Jiang scolded the East Palace in his heart, his strange behavior of taking the initiative to come forward attracted the attention of all the courtiers in the palace.

Thinking about it, there are no fools who can stand here, even if they were blinded by King Yong's righteous and awe-inspiring rhetoric at first, but when he thought about it at this moment, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

But isn't it, the biggest help of the prince of the East Palace is his uncle Zheng Cheng Wang, and now, Zheng Cheng Wang has almost spent all his family wealth to buy a piece of land in the north and spend a lot of money to build an army.

Maybe they still had the opportunity to earn martial arts in the Korean army, but the question is, if Yongwang Hongyu becomes the governor of Northern Xinjiang, what will happen to the Zhengcheng Wang clan?

…… This is really a hidden murder machine!

The ministers in the palace unconsciously lowered their heads, because they instinctively felt that the Yongwang Hongyu, who was kneeling in the hall at the moment, the man who had recently been suppressed by the prince of the East Palace, finally began to show his fangs. (To be continued.) )
