Chapter 93: The Crisis Comes

It was by no means a fuss from Situ and others, it was really this war that came suddenly, and the pattern on the grassland outside the Saiwai has not changed for decades.

The Xiongnu and Donghu are called the two heroes, each operating their own sphere of strength, and they have been at peace for decades.

The Xiongnu in the west, often with Zhao as an enemy, over the years, the two sides have fought many times outside the Saiwai, each other has won and lost, but when Zhao fought outside the Saiwai, the Huns were broken, and the Huns were deterred outside the Saiwai, and the Huns did not dare to go south to herd horses.

Donghu was in the east, harassing the Jin State all the year round, but he never dared to start a national war with the Jin State.

But why, Zhao State, Xiongnu, Rong Nationality, Donghu, these four countries suddenly launched a war, and Zhao State even fought without declaring war, annihilating 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry in the Nanshan area.

After a period of consternation, Liu Chengfeng swept everyone's eyes and said: "Over the years, although Donghu and Xiongnu have been listed as the two heroes of the grassland, the Xiongnu have developed very rapidly.

On the grassland, all tribes were defeated by the Xiongnu, Rao was Donghu, and did not dare to fight with the Xiongnu alone. Last summer, the grassland drought, the Xiongnu wantonly robbed the water and grassland of the various tribes, and the Rong tribe almost lost the royal court, today's battle, I am afraid that the various tribes united, Zhao State, Donghu, together launched a war against the Xiongnu! ”

At the end of last summer, there was indeed a big war on the grassland, and this Yan country knew about it, otherwise, it would not have poured its strength into fighting with the Rong people at Black Flag Pass.

However, no one expected that the drought would be so severe that the various tribes would be forced to unite against the Xiongnu.

"Yes, since this war has started, I am afraid it will not end in half a year." Zhao Shide agreed.

Regarding the war on the grassland outside the Saiwai, Lin Feng didn't care, he summoned the ministers to come late at night, and there was another secret matter: "The war on the grassland has not yet affected the Yan Kingdom, and now, I just want to know, taking advantage of the war of the Four Kingdoms, what benefits can the Yan Kingdom get, or rather, what should be done?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the four countries are fighting, and we can stand still and wait and see what happens." Situ looked at Lin Feng and said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Wen Jishi agreed.

"Why can't we take the opportunity to expand northward?" Lin Feng was puzzled by the words of Situ and Wen Jishi, he felt that this was a good opportunity to fall into the well, and take the opportunity to send troops.

Expand to the north and occupy the grasslands outside the Black Flag Pass.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in the grassland is still unclear, and rashly sending troops will cause Zhao Guo to be jealous, besides, the grassland on the front line of the Black Flag Pass is currently occupied, and it is not of much value, so it can not be relieved

Grazing cannot be turned into farmland, but must be heavily guarded to prevent the attack of the grassland cavalry, which will disrupt the current defense of the Yan Kingdom. Situ said.

Yan is too small, the national strength is weak, among the four countries, any country, launched a war against Yan State, Yan State will be wiped out, not to mention Zhao State, Xiongnu, Donghu, all of them are superpowers, people who control the strings, as many as millions.

"The melee of the four countries is a war of attrition, and the three kingdoms on the grassland must need a lot of weapons and food, and the minister thinks that the Yan country is close to the Rong people, so he can make a big fuss about it and take the opportunity to resell food and weapons.

Save money and food.

In addition, the situation of Zheng Guo in the south is unknown, and many spies report that Zheng Guo is actively preparing for war, and the emperor must prevent a surprise attack by the other party. Wen Jishi said. Again, it is not yet clear at the moment, four

Why did the country start a war rashly, and why did Zhao also participate in the war, and rashly participating in the war would cause the envy of the hostile countries. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Lin Feng was a little disappointed, and summoned them into the palace with great fanfare late at night, the answer was to stay put, which was contrary to his calculation in advance, but after thinking about it carefully, what Situ and Wen Jishi said was not unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, this is not simple, the threat of Yan State comes from Zheng State and Jin State, and it cannot compete with the northern grassland for the time being

What about the Xiongnu, Donghu, Zhao, and other superpowers? Situ Yan.

"The only thing that Yan Guo has to do at the moment is to accumulate strength and plan before acting under the condition that Zheng and Jin do not take the initiative to attack Yan State."

What the two said was extremely true, Yan was no more than the size of the county government of the four countries, and although there were strong soldiers, the national strength was weak. Listening to what the two said, Lin Feng realized that he was too anxious, and now that the four countries were fighting, the Yan country was fishing in troubled waters, why not make some money and food.

He remembered that in later generations, some countries made a fortune during the war and became a superpower after the war.

"So, am I too worried? Okay, Yu Aiqing, Ji Aiqing, the matter of money and food will be handed over to the two of you. By the way, the scientific expedition has ended, Zhao Aiqing, I hope you will speed up the scheduling and arrange it as soon as possible

Good official scheduling. Lin Feng thought about it, what Situ and the others said was true, it would be better for Yan Guo not to participate in the war.

But at this moment, the ministers had not yet left the warm pavilion, and another guard hurriedly ran in and said to Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, Huguan is urgent, the Jin soldiers are divided into two routes, and the 100,000 army is advancing west to attack Huguan." ”

In the calm floor warming pavilion, there were ripples again, and the ministers were excited, just as Wen Jishi expected, the Jin Kingdom really attacked Huguan. "Announce the messenger in."

The messenger walked quickly into the warm pavilion, and looked tired on his face after the starry night. An Heng took the letter and handed it to Lin Feng.

After dismantling it, he hurriedly swept his eyes, Lin Feng secretly sighed that it was not good, according to Feng Shihu's report, Mao An, the general of the Jin Kingdom, gathered 100,000 cavalry to attack Huguan, and the general Mu Xiaotian also led 150,000 cavalry, in front

On the way to Huguan.

Mao'an, Lin Feng has never heard of it, but Mu Xiaotian is a famous general of the Jin State, although he is not as good as Zheng Guo Zhu Hai, Xing Yike, and Zhao Guo Feng Zixiu, he is also famous in the Jin State, and he is called the handsome talent in the world.

With a sigh of relief, Lin Feng handed the letter to Situ and the others to read. "It seems that the four countries are fighting, and the fragrant dumplings to the mouth can't be eaten, Mao'an is not terrible, but Mu Xiaotian was a famous general at that time, this battle, I'm afraid

It has to be a general. ”

"Your Majesty, Huguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the three of General Feng, may not be unable to hold it, the main problem at present is that Zheng and Jin have been allies for many years, and the Jin State sent troops to attack Huguan, and the Zheng State in the south may not

Sit on one's hands. The minister thought that Huguan could defend instead of attack, and what he really had to face was the threat from Zheng Guo. Situ advised.

Wen Jishi shook his head, got up and came to the map hanging on the screen, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Zheng Guo has not sent troops, he has to defend against it, once Zheng Guo sends troops to attack Gyeongju, he will be stationed there

Gyeongju's 60,000 Lin Wei may not be able to be its edge.

Your Majesty, please see, the place where Zheng and Yan meet, is the plain of Pingchuan, Zheng Guotie's cavalry has been trained for more than ten years, and there are new victories in the south, and the edge is flourishing.

On the Gyeongju side, General Bai, General Zhao, and General Tuoba, although they are talented, they can have 60,000 Yu Lin Wei, both recruits and generals, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be no match for Zheng Guotie's cavalry.

The minister thought that in Gyeongju, prevention was the first priority, and it was the right way to unite with Zhao and Song.

Zheng and Song are feuding with each other, Zhao is dominant in the north, and the two countries will definitely not stand idly by, Zheng Guo rises in the Central Plains and establishes a strong enemy for himself.

The minister suggested that the emperor should immediately send someone to persuade Zhao and Song to send troops to block Zheng Guo's troops, otherwise, Yan State would fight for the whole country, and it would be difficult to escape the disaster of destroying the country.

In addition, the Wen family of Shu cooperated with Yan State, and Zheng State seized the six counties north of the Yangtze River of Shu State, and the emperor wrote a letter of resignation, suggesting that Chen Bing, the king of Shu, should send troops to Jiangnan, once the three kingdoms of Zhao, Song and Shu sent troops, Yan actively cooperated, Zheng

The country will inevitably fall into an embattled land, and if you want to attack Yan again, you must think twice. ”

"Lord Wen, Zhao is fighting against the Xiongnu in the north, and may not send troops." Zhao Shide objected.

"Hehehe, Lord Zhao, the strength of Zhao Guo, it is not for us to imagine, just the north and south camps, it is Chen Bing million, the Tiger Ben army that attacked the Huns this time is the Beida Battalion stationed in the generation of Cangmang Mountain

As for the southern camp in the more than 1,000 mountains, it has not moved at all.

This time, sending people to lobby Zhao Guo was to let him dispatch the southern battalion, besides, once Song Shu mobilized his troops, this battle may not be able to fight.

However, if Zhao did not send troops, Zheng and Jin attacked from the north and south, destroyed the Yan State, and both countries bordered Zhao State. ”

Wen Jishi's suggestion opened Lin Feng's eyes and suddenly opened his mind, if it was said that Zhao and Song would send troops, and Shu would cooperate with it, in this battle, Yan State would not waste a single soldier, and it would be possible to resolve Zheng Guo's soldiers. Perhaps you can also rely on the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms to fish in troubled waters and expand your power.

"Well, what Master Ji said, it is very sincere, so I will act according to the plan! Second brother, if you go to Zhao Kingdom, can you be sure that you are comfortable with the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Kingdom? "There is a lack of talent in the upper ranks, and the only person Lin Feng can think of at the moment is Lin Xiao

Finish.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother hopes to lead troops to resist the enemy and keep the enemy out of the country." Lin Xiaodao, the last time he showed his edge near the Wolf Pass, after that, he was familiar with military books, studied hard, and looked forward to returning to the battlefield one day to serve the country.

Moreover, according to the idea in his heart, he also trained 30,000 recruits, hoping to go to the battlefield to hone and prove his ability.

"Second brother, there is a chance to fight, now, Zheng Guo is invading, even if you don't participate in the war, it is more urgent to persuade Zhao to send troops, if you persuade Zhao to send troops, there will be a chance for you to lead troops to fight." Lin Feng comforted, Lin Xiao was strategic, knew how to advance and retreat, and no one was more suitable than him to go to Zhao State this time.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother must do his best, don't break your word." Lin Xiao said.

"You have no jokes!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also recommended one person, Li Mengchang, the champion of the new department, who can speak well and is talented, and can go to the Song Kingdom." Sensing the embarrassment in Lin Feng's eyes, Zhao Shide proposed.

"Is it credible?" Lin Feng asked, lobbying the people of the Song State must persuade the Empress of the Song Kingdom, and the difficulty is no less than convincing the King of Zhao.

"The minister will guarantee the head of the item." Zhao Shideying.

"It's so good, I wrote a letter to the Wen family, and Chen Bing Jiangnan of the Shu Kingdom, it should be feasible." Lin Fengyan immediately put pen to paper and wrote a letter, but he wrote two copies and handed them to An Hengdao: "One for Wen's family, and one for Zhang Yu, so that he can take 40,000 light horsemen under his command to Black Flag Pass, and hand over the letter to Liu Xuanyuan, but act according to the content of the letter." ”
