Text Section 436 The Urgency of Western Vietnam
In the west of Dawan City, the mood of the people in the city is like the weather in winter, and the cold makes people a little desperate. In less than ten years, Han Pingzi, who was praised as the god of war in the world by Xiyue, died tragically outside the Landu City. Now, their star of hope, Lu Mu, has once again fallen on Moro. Not only that, the years of conquest have exhausted the elite of Western Vietnam, and they are no longer able to face the elite soldiers of the Great Calendar Kingdom.
In the palace of Dawan City, the lord of the country, Zhou Zhongde, seemed to have aged by more than ten years overnight. Above the imperial case, there is a secret music. This is a secret music written by Lu Mu to Zhou Zhongde before his death, before the heavy snow fell, Lu Mu also swore that as long as the heavy snow fell, it would be Duan Lang's death. Zhou Zhongde never expected that Wupol Khan, who had begged them to send troops to rescue, would actually betray his righteousness and be poisoned. When the heavy snow came, it was not Duan Lang who died, but Lu Mu and their 100,000 elite soldiers in Xiyue.
Zhou Zhongde clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and his eyes couldn't help but burst with blood. So far, what he hates the most is not Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue, but the treacherous Moro people. If Xiyue still had the ability, Zhou Zhongde would definitely lead his troops to fight. Sadly, there is currently no one available among the Western Vietnamese generals. Except for Zheng Bi, who is currently guarding the Two Realms Mountain, Zhou Zhongde can't think of anyone else who can take on this important task.
Zhou Zhongde rubbed his forehead and was thinking, when a palace official cautiously walked in and reported softly, "Your Majesty, the old lady has arrived in the palace." ”
Zhou Zhongde stabilized his mind and put away the secret music on the imperial case, "Please let Taishi Rong come in." ”
The palace official agreed and retreated, and after a while, a white-haired old man walked into the imperial study. Zhou Zhongde got up and left the imperial case, and stepped forward a few steps to greet him personally.
"Come, give the old man a seat. disturbed the boss Qingxiu, and I hope the boss won't be surprised. Zhou Zhongde politely supported the old man.
"Your Majesty, this is not good, the old minister has not yet given His Majesty a salute, how dare you greet Your Majesty." The old man hurriedly knelt down to salute, but was politely stopped by Zhou Zhongde.
Don't look at this Rong Taishi who is not well-known today, he is the teacher of the first emperor of Xiyue. More importantly, Taishi Rong recommended Han Pingzi to the emperor and became a generation of famous marshals. After Zhou Zhongde ascended to the throne, Taishi Rong had the insight to protect Lu Mu. With his unique vision, he is also worthy of Zhou Zhongde's respect.
Zhou Zhongde did not sit behind the imperial case, but sat beside Rong Taishi very kindly. Seeing that the old lady's beard was white, Zhou Zhongde asked politely.
"Boss, you know all about Moro, right?"
Rong Taishi nodded, and there was a hint of pain on his vicissitudes of life. Before retiring, he promoted Lu Mu, thinking that Lu Mu was young and promising and could accompany you for decades. Unexpectedly, Lu Mu fell into Moro's tricks and lost his youth.
"It's a pity, Lu Mu didn't expect to fall into the hands of the Moro thief." Rong Taishi sighed.
"My lord, I am loyal and incompetent, and I listen to the slander of Moro Child. Now that I have lost the pillars of the country in Xiyue, I hope that the boss will give me ideas in Xiyue. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is already old, and he hasn't asked about government affairs for many years, so I'm afraid of misleading Your Majesty." Master Rong said sadly.
"Boss, now that my Xiyue is facing a two-sided attack from the Great Calendar Kingdom and Moro, once they recover their vitality and send troops to come, my Xiyue will also be in danger. The boss has a splendid chest, and Zhongde sincerely asks the boss for advice. ”
Rong Taishi opened his slightly cloudy eyes, looked at Zhou Zhongde, who was pious, hesitated for a moment and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, what is your Majesty's plan now, I don't know what Your Majesty's plans are?"
Zhou Zhongde thought for a while, and said with hatred, "Not to mention the Dali Kingdom Duan Lang and his wife, Moro Xiao'er is treacherous, and this hatred will be repaid by blood and blood." Otherwise, what face will our West Vietnam have to gain a foothold in the world. ”
appearance
Taishi nodded calmly, "Your Majesty, although the old minister has not been concerned about government affairs for many years, he has also been paying attention to the battle of Moro. It is said that Navupol Khan has abdicated and relinquished the throne to Wu Xuanchi. And the old prince of Moro, Wu Faxiu, was also canonized as the commander of the three armies of the protector of the country. But I don't know Your Majesty, can you understand this martial arts cultivation? ”
Zhou Zhongde was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "This old ghost is not simple, and Marshal Han Pingzi spoke highly of him back then. And this battle in Mamaia City is the handiwork of this old ghost. ”
"Since Your Majesty knows, how many troops can I gather in Xiyue, and who is his opponent?" Taishi Rong looked at Zhou Zhongde and asked.
Zhou Zhongde's face was a little embarrassed, and he sighed, "I'm afraid~ no one is the opponent of this old ghost at present." As for the strength of the troops~. ”
Zhou Zhongde shook his head helplessly, he knew that even if he wanted revenge, he was afraid that he would have to wait until after the thaw in the spring of next year. However, the soldiers and horses of Western Vietnam were almost exhausted, unless Zhou Zhongde did not hesitate to shake the national foundation and prepare for war.
Rong Taishi gasped slightly, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better for me to be quiet and not move in Xiyue at present. The Battle of Moro can be said to be a great battle that changed the pattern of the world. After this war, the pattern of the five kingdoms under heaven has basically been decided. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that our Western Vietnam and Moro will no longer exist. The martial arts cultivator is scheming, and he would rather be treacherous than rely on the Dali Kingdom Duan Lang. In doing so, he also won time for Moro to recuperate. If I continue to fight in the coming year in order to gamble on a breath, I can only end up with a lose-lose ending. When the time comes, Beiming will never let go of such a good opportunity. And that period of Lang will not give me any more time to breathe in Xiyue. ”
Zhou Zhongde nodded in agreement, "I'm also worried about this, so I don't dare to make up my mind." But in the face of my Xiyue courtiers and Li people, if I am indifferent, I will not be able to explain to the world. ”
"Your Majesty, as the lord of the country, you have the fate of the whole of Western Vietnam on your shoulders, and you must not act rashly. Please forgive the old minister for saying bluntly, even if he bears the name of weakness, he must think about my Xiyue Jiangshan Society. Endure the humiliation for a while, and when my Xiyue recovers, he will see glory one day. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid ~ the more dangerous I am in the west. ”
Zhou Zhongde sighed, "What does the boss mean, is it for me to swallow this anger, and I can't close the door like this?" ”
Rong Taishi's vicissitudes of life showed a hint of seriousness, "No, Your Majesty should take the initiative to attack in order to win favorable time for my Xiyue." Otherwise, our western Vietnam will still be in crisis. ”
Zhou Zhongde was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Boss, please make it clear?" ”
In the face of the life and death of Xiyue, Rong Taishi was not polite, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, if Xiyue wants to be stable now, it must attack from three sides. First, immediately send secret envoys to Nanping, and they are also the only allies of our Western Vietnam who can join forces at present. Second, send envoys to Moro. One is to congratulate the new king, and the other is to question the responsibility of treachery. We can not send troops to fight in the west, but we must show our attitude. Presumably, that Wu Xuanchi and Wu Fa Xiu will also lower their bodies to seek peace, after all, if they continue to fight, they will only lose both. The third, and most important, is to send an envoy to the Great Calendar Kingdom. ”
Rong Taishi said three suggestions, Zhou Zhongde glanced at them in surprise, nodded and said, "I agree with the first two, but sending an envoy to the Great Calendar Country will only bring humiliation on me." even said that Duan Lang would take the opportunity to make trouble and ask for compensation for the war. Boss, I don't think we should be weak when it comes to the Great Calendar Kingdom. Otherwise, Nanping will not be able to explain. ”
Master Rong said bitterly, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this is the most important key. If we don't get the understanding of the Great Calendar Kingdom, I'm afraid that our Xiyue will really face a catastrophe. Now that Moro is showing favor to Duan Lang, the two realms of mountains and heavens have become decorations. If Duan Lang detours to Moro to attack, how will my Xiyue resist. ”
Zhou Zhongde
"Then if they ask for war compensation, how should I respond?" Boss, after all these years of war, the treasury has been unable to take out silver taels. Not to mention compensation, even raising soldiers is a little difficult. ”
"The issue of compensation is not necessary, but we must give up the other end of the two realms."
Zhou Zhongde was shocked, "Boss, this is not good. Once the other end of the Two Realms Mountain Heaven is relinquished, it will be easy for the Great Calendar Kingdom to break through the pass and enter our Xiyue Forte. In that case, it would be tantamount to giving up your throat to someone else. ”
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that it can be shown that I no longer have the will to fight in Western Vietnam. Don't forget, the Two Realms Mountain was originally half of my Xiyue and Great Xia. If you don't show some sincerity, I'm afraid that Duan Lang won't agree. ”
Zhou Zhongde thought for a moment, "Then what if they still don't agree?" ”
Rong Taishi's old face showed a hint of fierceness, "If you don't agree, you will only have to fight against the water, until the last person in my Xiyue falls." ”
Looking at the old lady's resolute gaze, Zhou Zhongde thought for a while and nodded heavily, "Okay, I will follow the advice of the old lady and send messengers in three ways." But I don't know, can the boss have the right person to choose the envoy to the Three Kingdoms? ”
Master Rong thought for a while, "Envoy Moro, you can send Zong Hai, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to go." This man was able to judge the situation and judge the situation, and it was very suitable for him to send Moro to the army. Nanping's secret envoy, the old minister suggested sending Zhang Zongfeng there. ”
"Zhang Zongfeng?" Zhou Zhongde was stunned for a moment, "Zonghai sent Moro, I am in favor of it, but this Zhang Zongfeng went to Nanping, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." He is only the town guard general of Dawan City now, is this grade too low? ”
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zongfeng's level is not a problem, you can order it to be reused. This person used to be the chief of the guard who followed Han Shuai, and he also had a friendship with Mo Kun. If he comes forward, at least the Ying Shoushan will take a look. What's more, Zhang Zongfeng represents Zhenyi, and Song Zhicheng should understand who our common enemy is. ”
"Alright then, I will give him the status of a personal envoy to Nanping. Boss, who do you think is the right candidate for this Great Calendar Country? ”
Taishi Rong stood up, bowed slightly and said, "The old minister is not talented, I am willing to go for Your Majesty." ”
Zhou Zhongde was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up in surprise, "If the boss can go in person, he will definitely be able to seek peace for my Xiyue." ”
Zhou Zhongde gratefully shook Taishi Rong's thin hands, now among the courtiers, civil officials, and military generals, there are too few who can reassure him. Especially in the face of a strong enemy like Duan Lang, he must not be tough, nor can he lose the face of the country weakly. Since Taishi Rong took the initiative to ask for help, it was exactly what Zhou Zhongde wanted.
The two ministers made a plan, and now the government and the opposition in Xiyue are in mourning, and Zhou Zhongde, as the lord of the country, also knows that if it is not good, the entire Xiyue will face life and death.
Compared with Xiyue, Beiming, who was originally a victorious army, should be happy. However, the Northern Ming Dynasty and the opposition were also shrouded in a dark cloud. In the entire Moro war, the Northern Ming sent the most troops and suffered the heaviest losses, but in the end, they gained nothing. The royal family and courtiers in Xianglu City seemed to feel that they had made wedding dresses for others. Nearly 200,000 soldiers were killed in battle, but no compensation was received. Even if it is Shantai Moli, it cannot suppress the anger of the clan forces. even said that they felt that Duan Lang had no status in Beiming at all. It's just that they are Beiming soldiers who are just ghosts who charge into battle.
He was anxious, and this was the biggest crisis he had faced since he took office. Whether it is Prince Shu, Tai Hongguang or Xiangguo Bor, or even Tan Tai Cang, who is in charge of the clan order, did not stand on the side of Tan Tai Moli this time.
News has already come from Yudu City, after the return of the army, Duan Lang and the others are marching towards Xianglu City. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue. This time, if the clan and courtiers are not satisfied, I am afraid that the throne of Shantai Moli will not be guaranteed. (https:)
