Chapter 868: Within the Four Seas

not only stood on his own, but also promoted an emperor.

And the Guanzhong pass is heavy, within the pass, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, this is the most important granary of Dachen, they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they also set up a Mengjin county king, which is ...... Obviously, it has become one of the most difficult problems since Chen Kaizhi ascended the throne.

If it is not solved immediately, then how will the subjects of the world view Chen Kaizhi, the new son of heaven.

As the crown prince, he has a noble bloodline, and then he can overcome the unification, and now as the son of heaven, even if he chooses Huairou and unites most people, but in the face of this huge crisis, if Chen Kaizhi can't deal with it immediately, then more ambitious people will be ready to move.

Now there is a king of Mengjin County, and there are other kings, if they are ambitious, they may also be self-established emperors.

In this world, the emperor is not so easy to be, it is easy to be a puppet, but it is easy to be mediocre and ignore everything. But to give enough confidence to the subjects of the world, so that the subjects of the world are bent on the ground, and then support Chen Kaizhi to implement reforms, and even in the future, use troops everywhere, which requires Chen Kaizhi to give the people of the world enough confidence.

Faced with this tricky matter, Chen Kaizhi didn't seem to be too sad, nor did he have too much emotion, just glanced at everyone, and said lightly.

"In this way, if you can't put down the rebellion in time, I'm afraid that this person's heart will change."

"Exactly." Chen Yishou was not optimistic, but said worriedly: "It is said that the new official has three fires in office, and His Majesty has first ascended to the Great Treasure, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, in the territory of Dachen, there are people who dare to support the clan...... Now everyone in the world is looking at Your Majesty. ”

Chen Kaizhi bowed his head slightly, agreeing with his point of view.

Chen Yishou saw that Chen Kaizhi did not interrupt him, but asked him to continue, he had no worries, and continued: "What's more, in the cabinet...... Chen and Su Bachelor also discussed, we agreed that Guanzhong self-reliance, is already bad news, and what is more terrible is that Guanzhong is close to the land of Guanxi, bordering Da Liang, and to the south, it is Hanzhong, and it is connected to Shu, which is not only the most important granary of my Da Chen, but also the place of the four wars, at this time the Yang family has been cornered, once in a hurry, it may even be possible to contact Da Liang and Shu, and now I Da Chen is initially decided, all countries are afraid of coveting, if Guanzhong surrenders to Da Liang or Shu, it is difficult to ...... Da Liang and Shu will not take this opportunity to be involved, and at that time, it will not only be a counterinsurgency, but may even trigger a national war. ”

Chen Yishou squinted his eyes and carefully analyzed Chen Kaizhi: "Da Chen is the land of four wars, connecting Dayan in the north, Chu and Yue in the south, once the division is unfavorable, the army has to spend in the land of Guanzhong, then, if the countries are driven by interests, if they attack it in groups, it will be the worst result when they are embattled." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were a little worried, and his brows were furrowed.

"Therefore, to deal with the Yang clan in Guanzhong, not only must we win, but we urgently need a quick victory, and the longer the war drags on, the most terrible result will be."

"The last time the Ministry of War said that it was to levy 200,000 troops and 300,000 people, and Guanzhong could be pacified. But in the opinion of the old minister, it is not enough to be afraid, not only to win, but also to win quickly, if you want to enter the army, you must quite Hangu Pass, and this Hangu Pass, it is really dangerous, that is, the use of artillery, afraid and eager, it is difficult to attack, there are not enough soldiers and horses, it is really difficult to shake for a while. I'm afraid that the imperial court needs to levy 300,000 people, with the warrior battalion as the vanguard, and in order to ensure the needs of the army, it needs to levy 500,000 people......"

Chen Kaizhi frowned, this coming and going, wouldn't it be to have 800,000 soldiers.

What's more, how much preparation time is needed in the event of such a large-scale operation?

The various units are pieced together, and how do they need to run in during the period?

Hundreds of thousands of people have been requisitioned, and they have just made up their minds to rest with the people, but now they are working so hard and mobilizing the people, and the manpower and material resources mobilized are all astronomical.

This is simply not the right time to mobilize so many people.

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, and then said slowly to everyone; "Warrior camp, maybe enough."

Chen Yishou hurriedly shook his head.

"The warrior battalion is brave and brave, but the number is too small after all, not to mention, the wall of Hangu Pass is more than ten zhang thick, even if it is artillery, it is difficult to shake, and on the city, there are countless machine crossbows, Your Majesty, this is the first male pass in the world, extraordinary, this battle must be won, if there is an obstacle to the army, or even a slight setback, it may cause turmoil in the world, after all, Your Majesty is the first to ascend to the treasure, you should be careful."

Chen Kaizhi agreed with Chen Yishou's words, not because he didn't have confidence in him, but because this place belonged to a fortress.

What does it mean to have a city wall more than ten feet thick? This is equivalent to 30 meters, 30 meters away, all bricks and stones, this is already like a mountain, with the power of the current artillery, I am afraid that it will be bombarded in turn for ten days and a half months, I am afraid that it is useless.

Originally, this was the west gate of Da Chen, an indispensable fortress, but who expected, but now it has become a stumbling block to hinder Chen Kaizhi's counterinsurgency.

The strength of the Yang clan is still there, they have been operating in Guanzhong for so long, even if they can break through the Hangu Pass, but to recover the provinces in Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will not be enough to rely on the strength of the warrior battalion alone.

To put it bluntly, the warrior battalion is an elite strategy, although it has a scale of six or seven thousand people, it is by no means a security army, they are like blades, although they are good steel, they are only used as a vanguard, as a fortification.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Mr. Yan and asked, "What does Mr. Yan think?" ”

Mr. Yan raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Kaizhi, and then said: "The old man thinks that Chen Gong's words are really words for the country, Your Majesty, this war is very important, and it is not to be ignored, it is better to be cautious." Let's levy an army. ”

Chen Kaizhi frowned, there was not enough time to recruit so many people for a while, but it seemed that there was only this way, he couldn't help but look very depressed, but he still said unwillingly: "Maybe there is a better way." ”

Chen Kaizhi hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Rong Zhen is thinking about it. ”

He did not think that it was necessary to levy and mobilize an army of this size, because such a large-scale military operation was so protracted that it would take several months to prepare for the mere start of Latin and the gathering of troops and horses from all walks of life, and the actual attack would be half a year later.

Half a year later, I am afraid that Da Liang may have begun to intervene in Guanzhong, and at that time, it may not only be the Yang clan in Guanzhong who rebels against the party, but also tens of thousands of Da Liang Iron Horsemen.

Not to mention, the requisitioning of millions of strong people will inevitably lead to a large waste of labor and a great consumption of national strength, which is not a wise choice at all.

However, if we do not immediately make up our minds to quell the insurgency, we may raise questions about our own capabilities.

As the Son of Heaven, he must tell the people of the world that he is not only their monarch father, but also an authority that no one can question, and that if anyone dares to rebel, he must pay a heavy price.

"Go and ask the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zeng Guangxian, and the Governor of the Spiegel Division to meet him."

Zeng Guangxian has been appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but it is the matter of Wu Yi, but now he has also gained great benefits and has become the governor of the Spiegel Division.

A eunuch answered the order, and he was already in a hurry.

After a while, the two of them have come, Wu Zhishi is now the fastest Wu Dudu, he was out of breath, bowed to the ground, and shouted long live, Chen Kaizhi frowned: "Don't come to this set of three kneels and nine knocks, I ask you, the matter in Guanzhong, does the Spiegel Division have a report?" ”

"Yes." Wu Dudu Zheng'er said: "The minister is trying to meet the Yu, the latest urgent report, the envoy of Da Liang, has quickly entered the customs and contacted the Yang family and others, in addition, the Yang family withdrew the soldiers and horses of the Dasan Pass and rushed to Hangu Pass. ”

"That's fast." Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly.

Although he knew that Liang Guo was very likely to intervene, it was too fast, and the only possibility was that the Yang family had been in contact with Da Liangmei long before the death of the Empress Dowager.

This may ...... It was another 'chess' move by the Empress Dowager during her lifetime, leaving a way out for the Yang family, otherwise how could she contact it so quickly?

The soldiers and horses who withdrew from the Dasanguan not only galloped to the aid of Hangu Pass, but also put on a posture of a decisive battle with Chen Kaizhi, and at the same time, this Dasanguan is the national border between Guanzhong and the two countries.

Wu Dudu squinted: "The news that the minister got is that the Yang family seems to have the intention to temporarily order the puppet emperor to call himself a minister to Da Liang and call himself the emperor, so as to borrow troops from Da Liang." ”

Chen Kaizhi sneered.

The Emperor.

This situation is like the previous life, Shi Jingtang, who was a vassal to the Liao State, would rather be the son of the Liao people, and give up the sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitans, and also fight with the Great Song Dynasty at that time to the end, and because of this, the Great Song Dynasty at that time lost the best strategic opportunity to truly unify the Guannei, and the Great Song Dynasty was exposed to the iron hooves of the Liao people for hundreds of years.

Chen Yishou said angrily: "Once Ren Daliang takes the opportunity to enter Guanzhong, then my Da Chen will not only lose the most important granary, but also lose two million households, this Luoyang, will not fall within a hundred miles of the enemy country, and there is no danger to defend." Your Majesty...... If the Yang family is not removed, Da Chen Sheji is dying. ”

Chen Kaizhi squinted his eyes and seemed to start thinking.

At this time, Zeng Guangxian, the commander of the brocade guard, had already arrived, and before he could salute, Chen Kaizhi waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and continued: "Within Guanzhong, isn't there anyone who has a heart for the imperial court?" I don't believe it, all the guards in this pass are traitors. ”

Zeng Guangxian was stunned, and he probably understood something, he and Wu Dudu glanced at each other, and then Zeng Guangxian said: "Jinyiwei has been secretly laying down his eyes and ears in Guanzhong because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager, but there is one person who can try to get in touch." ”

Chen Kaizhi suddenly became interested: "Who is it?" ”

Zeng Guangxian said: "Under Mengjin County, there is a white crane waterway inspection, called Zhang Ming. ”
