Chapter 573: The Imperial Expedition
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Chen Kaizhi was also dumbfounded, he immediately looked at Liu Xian, and said a little anxiously: "Take the map." ”
In the study, there was a map, Liu Xian didn't dare to slack off at all, he took the map, Chen Kaizhi spread it out, and then his eyes wandered in the map.
Yanmen Pass, this Yanmen Pass, to the north is Datong, and to the south, it is Dachen's Jincheng and even Mengjin, that is to say, the Hu people have entered the customs.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people have begun to build the Great Wall to separate the desert from the Guannai.
The purpose of this is to protect the towns in the Guannai, after all, the Hu people are good at arching horses, and the most important thing is that they are poor, and when they are poor, they don't want to die, just like hungry wolves, pull them down, they are all about to starve to death, who cares if you are in danger or not.
On top of this Great Wall, there are countless passes, and these passes are the barriers that prevent the Hu people from going south.
But what if a barrier is broken?
This means that the land of Guannei has become a hunting ground, and the Hu people have no barrier to the wall, they can rush in, gallop fast horses, and attack wherever they want.
Hu people into the customs, is a very terrible thing, the original five Hu chaohua, as well as five dynasties and ten countries, are all the masterpieces of the Hu people when they entered the customs, after the Tang Dynasty collapsed, the Khitan people got the sixteen states of Youyun, but also made the Han people lose the barrier of the Great Wall, because of this, so after the Great Song Dynasty, there is almost no danger to defend, the Khitan people as long as they want, can put the horse south, a bustling town, can be turned to ashes, countless villages, razed to the ground.
They burned, killed, plundered, and did almost no evil.
Now that Yanmen Pass is lost, it is no longer a problem for Dayan, even if Chen Kaizhi believes that the Yan army is by no means vegetarian, they will definitely mobilize all their forces, mobilize, and fight to the death with the Hu people, most of the Yan people are brave, and the emperor of the Yan State is by no means weak, but the location of the decisive battle is in the pass, and the previous decisive battle outside the pass, is a completely different concept, the former means that no matter whether the Yan people keep the community, a large number of soldiers and civilians will also be killed, and the Hu people make a living by plundering, and they don't even have the concept of heavy grain and grass. Where do their supplies come from?
THEY WERE A PACK OF HUNGRY AND CRAZY WOLVES, AND AT THIS TIME THEY FELL INTO THE RICE BARN, AND JIANYIN TOOK THEM CAPTIVE, WHICH WAS ALMOST A COMMON THING.
This means that a catastrophe has begun, and the people affected may be 100,000, maybe 200,000, or even far more, but millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting.
Chen Kaizhi's mind was already buzzing.
He doesn't like the Yan people, and he doesn't have any friendship with the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom.
But he couldn't imagine that a catastrophe was happening in front of him, Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath, and then looked left and right, a little dazed, how many people will be harmed when they enter the customs, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that the lives are ruined.
Although he is not a noble person who cares about the common people, he can't help but worry when he thinks that these Hu people will also endanger the people around him, and even himself.
Seeing Chen Kaizhi's dazed appearance, Liu Xian couldn't help but be worried, and frowned.
"After the Yanmen Pass, there are some Yan army fortresses, which can be used to stop the Hu people, but if you think about it, it won't last long, the Yan people will definitely find a way to fight a decisive battle with the Hu people there, Gongzi, I understand, no wonder a few days ago, Gongzi talked about the Hu people sending an envoy, the villain finally understood, breaking the Yanmen Pass, is only the first step, the only thing the Hu people are worried about is that the Yan army from all walks of life, the Yan army relies on these fortresses and fortresses, and can still fight, but if it is at this time, I Da Chen only needs to use troops against the Yan people, The Yan people can't take care of each other, and when the time comes, they will definitely be defeated, they ...... It turned out that they were planning to do this, but this time they were menacing, and they came to destroy Yan. ”
Chen Kaizhi sighed, and actually sneered: "Is it just to kill Yan?" The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, once the swallow is destroyed, I Dachen has no danger to defend, so why do I think I can deal with it calmly? ”
"Even if you put aside these thoughts of interests, if the Hu people can really defeat the Yan army, then, how many people will die in this Hebei land, is it a million? Or two million, or a thousand miles away? ”
Liu Xian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he obviously understood what Chen Kaizhi meant, and naturally there was a terrible scene in his mind, although he had not experienced any war, but he had also seen many inhumane records from countless history books.
It's a terrifying sight.
Liu Xian smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes, looked at Liu Xian and asked, "What is a pity?" ”
Liu Xian shook his head: "Now that the Yanmen Pass is broken, the imperial court will definitely make up its mind and join forces with the Hu people to destroy Yan." ”
Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized something, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
Fang Cai himself was still in shock, and he didn't have time to take care of this, but fortunately it was Liu Xian's reminder.
If the Hu people did not break the Yanmen Pass, the imperial court must have concerns, but now it is different, the Hu people have entered the customs.
Entering the customs means that the certainty of exterminating Yan has increased countless times, and at this time, Yan Kingdom is like a grass hut, which only needs to be kicked hard to turn it into ruins.
Otherwise, Da Chen is still hesitating, once he destroys Yan alone, it means that Da Chen has lost the initiative, the Hu people occupy the pass, and Da Chen will have no danger to defend in the future.
However, what Prince Nabatu proposed was that all the land inside the pass would belong to Da Chen, and the Yan land outside the gate would all go to Donghu.
This...... It is definitely a condition that has enough temptation for Da Chen.
At this time, what choice will the imperial court make?
Everyone knows that the brothers are of the same heart and are insulted to the outside, but it is too difficult and too difficult to do it, now Da Chen is safe and sound, why, let the army go to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass, and the Yan people, bear such a huge sacrifice, and go to the decisive battle with the Hu people, after all, an alliance with the Hu people will gain huge benefits, and an alliance with the Yan people requires the blood of countless soldiers and civilians in Da Chen.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head, a pair of eyes as clear as water narrowed slightly, his face was melancholy, and the whole person was silent as if he was thinking about something, Liu Xian couldn't help but become more and more worried when he saw Chen Kaizhi like this, this Hu person is really a headache, Liu Xian saw that Chen Kaizhi had been silent, he couldn't help but look at his face, and saw that Chen Kaizhi seemed to be in deep thought, he couldn't help but call cautiously.
"Childe ......"
Chen Kaizhi came back to his senses, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xian, and hurriedly spoke: "I have to go down the mountain to find out about the movements of the imperial court." ”
At this moment, a disciple went up the mountain and called: "Son, there is an invitation, His Royal Highness King Zhao will set up a banquet to entertain Prince Donghubatu, and invite Prince Zhao to go to the banquet." ”
Chen Kaizhi's brows were cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he actually outlined a faint smile, which was full of ridicule and even disgust.
At this time, he knew that there was no need to inquire about the movements of the imperial court, because from the attitude of King Zhao, one or two could be glimpsed, the news had just come, and this King Zhao immediately held a banquet to invite Prince Batu, so much fanfare, and did not shy away from gossip at all, this meaning is not obvious enough?
King Zhao has always liked to pretend to be a virtuous king, and he has always been cautious when interacting with the Hu people, but now the fanfare only shows one thing, the difficulty is that a considerable number of people and ministers in the court have reached some kind of consensus.
Naturally, originally, Chen Kaizhi may not be qualified to participate in King Zhao's banquet, and the reason why he invited himself was probably Prince Nabatu, who wanted to take this opportunity to raise his eyebrows in front of him.
Chen Kaizhi looked at the invitation and smiled coldly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said with disdain: "It's okay, take the invitation, and I'll go when the time comes." ”
On the contrary, he didn't go down the mountain, but he was thoughtful, Da Chen, no one would be willing to shed blood for the Yan people, and the huge benefits given by the Hu people were enough to make people tempted, which was the key to the problem, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he just smiled bitterly, it seemed that this mighty tide was not something he could stop at all.
It's just that......
What happened in the previous life, is it going to be repeated?
………………
Yanjing, the forbidden army has begun to prepare to go to the front line of Yanmen Pass, countless Yan soldiers and civilians, with a little tragedy, although they are also Han people, but they have been in the north for a long time, but there is no elegance and euphemism in the south, their lives, most of the time, have a trace of tragedy and desolation.
Naturally, there is also pride.
The mighty army, winding like a snake, the silent army, stretched all the way to the edge of the sky.
Yan Chengwu, the son of Dayan Tianzi, was already dressed in military uniform at this time, covered in golden armor, and walked behind with the guards, the wind here was still cold, blowing his cheeks with a slight red, and the invasion of the Hu people completely disrupted all his plans.
By this time, he had become much more composure, and had begun to be very angry, and when he heard the bad news, he found that he was surprisingly calm, as if everything had been expected.
In fact, it wasn't expected, since he knew that Fang Wu had just escaped, he knew that it was a matter of time before the Hu people invaded, but the hateful thing was that he was deceived by others, and he didn't know it, he hated it so much in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.
At that time, he was determined to go on the expedition, because if there was no decisive battle, the entire Dayan would not have a dangerous pass to defend, and the only way to keep Sheji was to fight a decisive battle.
The wind is bleak, but there are no fallen leaves, there are countless people on the side of the road, and a large number of people have been requisitioned, which means that those who remain are all old and weak, and the 'old and weak', standing by the road, no one shouts long live, they watch, because in this winding procession, there will always be their relatives among them, but in these countless faces, there are more, but they are at a loss for the future.
Dayan...... Will it still exist?
Tomorrow, a few more people can see the rising sun.
Everyone is in a panic in their hearts!
