Chapter 499: Dynamics of the Parties (4)
Chelton Bai was depressed, Mobei suffered several cold snaps last year, and the people and cattle and sheep froze to death a lot, she originally wanted his wife to live a peaceful and stable life, and first tried to solve the problems of people's livelihood. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info God is also a helper, and sent a God of Wealth to her, and is thinking about waiting for her belly to get bigger, so she will ask for alimony. As a result, there are many complicated things, and now is indeed not the time for war.
When it comes to the issue of faith, there was unprecedented unity within the Xiongnu. Mo said that the four princes who sharpened their knives on weekdays, and even the great witches who had never cared much about this kind of issue were angry, and under the anger of the group, this battle had to be fought if it was not fought.
Seeing that he was full of righteous indignation, but his impassioned words did not get an immediate response from Che Dunbai, he calmed down and couldn't help asking, "Great Khan, but what are your scruples?" ”
"Money! Sending troops costs money! Chelton Bai said helplessly: "If it is a westward expedition, the situation will be different from the expedition to the Zhou court in previous years. Zhou is an agrarian country, and borders with our country, under the iron hooves of my Huns, the surrounding provinces are the natural granaries of the Huns, we don't need to think too much, as long as we have soldiers and horses, we can move forward, eat and drink but can loot on the spot. But if you go west, you must prepare sufficient military rations, and the surplus food you have stored now is enough to fight a war? ”
She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there's more than one battle." We don't know much about the enemy, if the small countries in the west are really unified, this force must not be underestimated, the 200,000 army may only be the vanguard, once the war does not go well, maybe there will be a steady stream of reinforcements, this war will turn into a protracted war at any time, if there is not enough military rations, how to fight? You can't plunder your own vassal kingdom, can you? ”
"This..."
The Xiongnu and the Great Zhou are old enemies, and they are also opponents that have not changed for thousands of years and have not changed for thousands of years. Therefore, in the hearts of the Huns, there is no concept of military rations at all, and they take it for granted that the opponents in the whole world are the same as the Great Zhou, and they can grab while fighting, and the rations they carry with them can stick to the front line as long as they can stick to the front. Now let Che Dunbai mention it, only then did he think that this time was not an invasion, but a holy war, and it was difficult for the large corps to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, they could wait, the soldiers' stomachs could not afford to wait, and they could not afford to fight without food.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help but become quiet. The Huns were the most courageous, but the price of bravery was perennial poverty, which they had honed in the struggle to survive. On weekdays, he can only barely get enough food and clothing, and when he encounters a natural disaster, he suffers heavy losses and has no food. How can you still force a war with existing resources, if so, I am afraid that next year's life will be completely unpassable.
"But..." At this moment, Chelton Bai suddenly changed his words and said: "The holy war cannot be fought!" In Ben Khan's view, the so-called missionary nature was part of the invasion, and Caesar's empire may have unified the west, so it turned its attention to the east. Lying next to the couch, no one is allowed to sleep soundly, and we don't even know when such a powerful opponent will appear next to us, which is undoubtedly a great danger. ”
She smiled coldly and said: "Since he dares to come, Ben Khan naturally wants to let these orangutans know that my Xiongnu Khanate is powerful, and it must be beaten." For the time being, you will go back and prepare, Ben Khan will need two months to raise food and grass, and once the food and grass are in place, the army will immediately march westward. ”
With that, she stood up and walked straight out. "Disperse, Green, come with me."
Walking back to her room, Chelton Bai took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Green, her face was full of solemnity, and she said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I still have to ask you to run for this matter." ”
Green unfolded the letter and glanced at it cursoryly, frowning for a moment.
"Needless to say, do what you say." Chelton Bai said a little helplessly: "The master has passed away not long ago, and the hatred is still there, so I want to help him at this time... You will inevitably have resentment, and this matter can only be left to you. ”
Green had a cold face, thought for a moment, and said, "But we have our own troubles now." ”
"It's just that you're in trouble." Chelton Bai suddenly smiled. "Since he has borrowed from me, this borrowing cannot be done in vain. You go with Ben Khan with you before you leave, and when you do, remember to ask him for payment when you return. Five million taels of silver... That's it, 10 million taels, not a penny is missing, and he is not short of silver. With this money, Ben Khan will not only be able to fight happily, but we will also be able to live a good life. ”
---------------------------
Cheton's white abacus clanged, far away in Jinling, and Jiang Yun, who was thinking about her, was also fiddling with her abacus.
He and Ji Feng shrank in the study of King Wu's mansion, holding the book sealed by the imperial court in their hands, and a look of pride inadvertently climbed onto his face.
"As expected, it was returned." Jiang Yun rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I haven't learned the skills next to Ji Qiyun, but I have learned a lot about being the emperor." ”
The two little foxes looked at each other and smiled wickedly.
"Wonderful, really wonderful." Ji Feng glanced at the recital again, and muttered: "The first recital has been returned, and when I play two more copies, Ji Qiyun will also seal it." In this way, we will have an excuse to send troops north. Ji Xinqin raised troops, playing the banner of revenge, and the second emperor's uncle raised troops, starting from Ji Qiyun's life experience, all of them were inferior, covering their ears and stealing bells. It's still Xiaoyun, your idea is good. ”
"Except for the traitors, on the side of the Qing monarch, the three ways of the court ignore it, we are planning for the fortune of the country, for the sake of justice, and we have no choice but to admonish the army!" Jiang Yun muttered in response, feeling a little helpless in his heart. It's not that he came up with a good idea, but he knows that there is a person who has taken over the world in the name of "Qingjun's side".
"Yes! What Zhou Ang did has long been angry and resentful. There is no need for us to say more, everyone in the world who has eyes can see through. But for the sake of the so-called face, Ji Qiyun did not hesitate to make mistakes again and again, and undoubtedly dug his own grave. Ji Feng said this, and suddenly frowned: "Now that there is an excuse to send troops, we still have to discuss how to send troops." ”
"Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother already has an idea in his heart." Jiang Yun thought for a while, and then said: "In terms of time, on the day when the Sandao Song Book is returned, the Battle of Ryukyu should be almost over." As soon as we receive a letter from Xun'er, we can immediately start our army. 100,000 troops crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Hefei. Now that the land is empty, there is nothing to fear in the east and the north, once Hefei is taken, Zhengzhou can be occupied and Henan can be captured. ”
"Capture Henan?" Ji Feng immediately frowned and said, "It seems that I have taken a long detour, which is not appropriate!" Wu Xiuming's 500,000 troops are all in the pass, once he hears the news that we are waiting for the Northern Expedition, he will immediately send troops to Bishui Pass, so that my Jiangnan army will have to face... ”
"Naturally, we have to face it, not only to defend Henan Mansion, but also to guard at least half a month." Jiang Yun seemed to be able to feel the huge pressure as well, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then continued: "If we block Wu Xiuming in Henan Mansion, Xun'er will be able to continue north from Ryukyu and lead the army to directly attack Tianjin Wei. The Tianjin garrison is only 5,000, and it is not difficult to take it, so that the troops can be outside the Beijing division within two days. ”
Ji Feng understood now. "You mean, we blocked Wu Xiuming, let Bo Yan lead the Yizhou naval army to land from Tianjin Wei, and go straight to Huanglong to take the capital?"
"Yes." Jiang Yunying said: "Little brother thinks about it, this is the only way to solve the war as soon as possible." Jingshi is the heart of the Great Zhou, and if you take Jingshi, this thing will be done. The rest can be processed slowly. ”
"It's a good way, it's just...
Ji Feng groaned, his face embarrassed. Whether it is Ji Mingxuan and Ji Qiyun, or he Ji Feng and these two people, no matter what happens, even if the world is in chaos, it is a matter of his own family after all, and it is an internal problem of the royal family. No matter who wins or loses, Da Zhou is still the same Da Zhou, the only difference is that the person in charge has changed.
He wanted to go north, Lu Xun led the army to help, and Ji Feng naturally couldn't ask for it. But no matter how good his relationship with Jiang Yun was, and how reassuring he was, he didn't call a neighbor to help search his house. If something goes wrong, it's not as simple as chaos in the world, it's impossible to change the day, so isn't he a sinner of the Ji family? How to face the emperors of the past dynasties.
"Big brother seems to have doubts?" Jiang Yun saw that his face was not very natural, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No..." Ji Feng said with a little hesitation: "If you let Bo Yan land from Shanghai County and go to take Henan Mansion, Yizhou's army is strong, and it should be more certain to resist Wu Xiuming's 500,000 army." Now that the imperial court is empty and the troops are all in Guanzhong, the people in the south of the Yangtze River can directly go north to attack the capital, wouldn't it be safer to arrange this way? ”
After hearing this, Jiang Yun understood what Ji Feng was worried about, to put it bluntly, it was to guard against himself. But he didn't have any grievances, which was normal, and it was strange that he was defenseless. Because of Jiang Yun's series of arrangements, it was indeed difficult for him to rest assured.
The king of Shu is opposed, Jiang Yun insisted on leveling Shu first, and the five armies of the governor's mansion only then opened the army to the west, and at this moment they are facing each other in Xuzhou Mansion, which is equivalent to saying that Shu and Liangzi in Jiangnan have come to an end. The king of Shu rebelled, and the contradiction between him and Ji Qiyun was irreconcilable. At this moment, he wants Ji Feng's Northern Expedition again, so that he and Ji Qiyun will completely tear their faces. In this way, the three families beat each other, and the world is in chaos, isn't it the best opportunity for Yizhou to invade the Great Zhou?
If Jiang Yun didn't know that he hadn't had this kind of idea, even he couldn't help but doubt his motives, and it was normal for Ji Feng to have this doubt. Jiang Yun was also very helpless, he didn't say much, only sighed, and said: "Big brother's arrangement is indeed more appropriate, but in this way, there will be one thing that you can't get around no matter what." ”
"What?"
"Ji Qiyun, that emperor, how to deal with it?"
“。。。” Ji Feng was not stupid, and he only understood Jiang Yun's motive for arranging it this way in an instant. Not bad! For Ji Feng, he can go to the capital, but Lu Xun can't go. But for him, Lu Xun can go, but he can't go.
The excuse for sending troops has been found, and it is to get rid of traitors and admonish the soldiers on the side of the Qing monarch. For the emperor, he still supports the outside world as always, and the goal is only Zhou Ang's party, and he wants to advise the emperor to correct his mistakes, get rid of the Zhou party, and return the court to a bright future. In terms of emotion and reason, in the world and in the people, Ji Feng can be justified, although this excuse is also suspected of rebellion, but after all, it still occupies a moral and ethical height.
sent troops, also captured the capital, and then what? It was easy to exterminate the Zhou Party, and it was no longer a problem. But as soon as Zhou Ang died, it was announced that his "military advice" was completed. The rest of the thing to do is to ask the emperor for guilt, let the army withdraw from the capital and return to Jiangnan, and then wait for the emperor's disposal, this is the reasonable process of "military advice", this is the embodiment of his loyal ministers. As for whether Ji Qiyun is willing to forgive him, it just shows whether he is a virtuous monarch, and it is reasonable to really want to kill him.
Go around such a big brother circle and pay such a big price, just to put on a show? It's a joke! Don't say that Ji Feng refuses, even if these generals and soldiers under his command will never agree. People risked the death of the whole family to follow him, and in the end, the whole family died, and there was no benefit at all? Is there such a reason in the world?
Therefore, there is only one purpose and end to enter the capital, running for the throne and going to the sky. What should Ji Qiyun do? It is definitely not okay to continue to be the emperor, it is not okay to close, and it is not okay to let it go, only to kill. But then again, can you kill? This is the least possible option.
Soldiers admonished soldiers, entered the capital, and killed the emperor, is this still called a soldier's admonition? There is no more canonical rebellion than this.
Only Lu Xun can make a move! Yizhou is remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its military strength is strong, and it is not afraid of any opponent at all. She won't have any burden at all when she kills Ji Qiyun, and she can handle everything secretly after entering the city. When the overall situation of the world has been decided, after he Ji Feng led the Jiangnan army into the capital, the emperor has died due to an "accident". He can grieve in his heart, and he can grieve to the people of the world, but after the matter is over, it will be over.
The country cannot be without a king for a day, and when the emperor dies, he naturally has to support another emperor. At that time, the capital will be under its own control, and it is reasonable to support his father to ascend the throne as the emperor.
Thinking of this, Ji Feng also had to admit that Jiang Yun's arrangement was the only feasible way. But this is a difficult matter to choose after all, and there was silence in the room for a long time, and Ji Feng reluctantly agreed. It's not that he wants to respond, but things have come to this point, he has no way out, and he shouldn't have to respond, otherwise all the previous arrangements will be in vain. What's more, with his understanding of Ji Qiyun, once the rebellion in Shu is quelled this time, the next thing to do must be to cut the domain, he just wants to be peaceful, and he is afraid that he will not have this opportunity.
Seeing that he responded, Jiang Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Does Big Brother have any other concerns?"
"There's still one." After thinking about it, Ji Feng said: "Since you have this arrangement, why did you insist on starting a war with the King of Shu in the first place?" If the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had not been dispatched, we would not have any problem holding on to Henan Mansion, and our chances of victory would have greatly increased. But now ... With only 100,000 to resist 500,000, and there is no moat to defend, I really don't have much confidence. Moreover... ”
Speaking of this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he said worriedly: "Once the army is dispatched, Jinling will be empty, and the remaining troops will be less than 30,000. If Ji Weiming, the king of Pingnan, was determined to the imperial court and led his army to attack, it was difficult to predict whether Jinling could hold its offensive. The risk is too great, and one mistake is a complete loss. ”
Jiang Yun was also very helpless, shook his head and said, "No way, risk is reward." If the army of the Governor's Mansion had not advanced westward, Cao Hua could join forces with Sun Lin. Once the imperial court is in an emergency, and Wu Xiuming's troops go out of Bishui Pass, Guanzhong will fall overnight, and it is impossible to say that in the blink of an eye, they will eat the 500,000 Gyeonggi battalions that are eager to return to the rescue of the Beijing Division. If these 500,000 troops are lost, even if we take the Beijing Division, we will not be able to pacify Shu in the short term. ”
With a long sigh, Jiang Yun finally came to a conclusion. "So we have to keep Wu Xiuming, and when we take the Jingshi, it will not be a problem to persuade him to surrender. At that time, the army of the Governor's Mansion, our Jiangnan Army, the Gyeonggi Battalion, and the Yizhou Army will be able to unite to encircle and suppress Shudi, with an army of nearly one million, no matter how great Cao Hua's ability is, it will be difficult to resist. In this way, the world can be determined! ”
