Chapter 227: The Situation Suddenly Changes

Outside Luoyang City in the early morning, four knights galloped quickly. The face was covered with wind and dust, and the horse's hooves were very hurried.

"Eight hundred miles to expedite the military situation, and the idle people get out of the way of the ...... at a fast pace." The people of the city retreated, and the four knights ran quickly. After a short time, the imperial city guards did not dare to slack off, quickly checked it, opened the city gate and let it go.

In the early dynasty, Prime Minister Wang An was reporting on the change of the law. Four knights, lined up and running quickly.

"Report ...... The emergency military situation in the north, Liao, Western Xia, Tubo, and Jiaozhi, secretly formed an alliance two months ago, intending to carve up our dynasty. Liao went to Yanyun to hoard 300,000 troops, with the intention of going south."

"Report ...... Northwest Emergency Military Intelligence. Western Xia raided Xiazhou, and the war was deadlocked, and asked the imperial court to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Report ...... Southwest Emergency Military Intelligence. Tibet poured the strength of the whole country. Attack the land of the two rivers of our dynasty on a large scale, and ask for the support of the imperial court."

"Report ...... Emergency military situation in the South. Jiaozhi suddenly went north, and Jiangnan shook. Fortunately, the Jinling reinforcements arrived in time to stop the enemy from the country. However, Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not high, and the number of troops is less than 50,000. The enemy is three times the size of our army, and I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it for a long time, so I ask the court to decide."

There were four war reports one after another, each of which was 100,000 urgent. In addition to the 300,000 Liaotun soldiers, in Yanyun intends to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. The three kingdoms of Western Xia, Tubo, and Jiaozhi all came out of their dead power. There is a big failure to achieve the goal, and the appearance of not giving up.

All of a sudden, there was a storm coming, and it was as dangerous as a tired egg. The ministers were in an uproar, talking about each other.

"Your Majesty, the wolf ambition of the four countries, I must not be soft."

"Over the years, I have been going all out to expand westward and Longyou states. The army is getting stronger and stronger, and Western Xia and Tibet are cold. At the same time, the sailors crisscrossed the seas, and they were terrified. These three countries are increasingly jealous of our dynasty, and they will fight hard when they take advantage of this opportunity."

"If the Liao people go south, I will fight in all directions, only for fear ......of danger."

Wang An saw that the officials were discussing, as if he had thought of something, and looked at a messenger: "What about Dali?" What is Dali's attitude".

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Dali Country, the attitude is unclear. It's just that on the border of the four sides, they are waiting as if they don't know it." A messenger heard Wang An's inquiry and hurriedly replied respectfully.

Cao Gao walked over, took the four messengers, and held the report in his hand. Turned around and walked towards the royal front and handed it to Chai Yu.

After the four reports were read one by one, Chai Yu fell into deep thought: "If Dali doesn't know anything, I definitely don't believe it." I am afraid of this, so as to be acquiesced in by it. Otherwise, Tubo and Jiaozhi would not be so unscrupulous and attack our dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers woke up like a dream. The sound of discussion gradually subsided. Now the discussion is why this is happening, the current situation. It's how to break the game.

"If Your Majesty wants to break the game, first in the south, if you can say that Dali can be moved, attack Jiaozhi. The great victory in the first battle made the Tibetans hear the words and dare not act rashly. At the same time, an envoy was sent to the Liao State to delay the date of the southward journey. His Majesty is requisitioning a large army to attack Western Xia, as long as the speed is fast enough. Before the Liao State could react, repelling the invasion of Western Xia would turn the tide of safety." In his heart, Wang An instantly analyzed the key points to break the game, and talked eloquently to Chai Yu.

When the officials heard Wang An's words, they muttered in their hearts. If it weren't for the majesty of the prime minister, I'm afraid that I would have already quarreled.

An official strode out and looked at Wang An: "The lower officials dare to ask the prime minister, Dali's attitude is simulated, and it is not easy for me to change their attitude." What's more, to persuade them to send troops to fight each other, it is even more necessary to settle Dali in a war. This pile is no less than the blue sky."

"Prime Minister, the Liao State has a southward faction, and it is not easy to gain power. If you want to delay them going south, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult." Another official strode out, and the eyes of the hundred officials followed the words and looked at Wang An in unison. After all, these two questions are also on their minds.

Wang An heard the inquiry of the hundred officials and looked at Chai Yu: "If Your Majesty can get the strength of two people, you can resolve the crisis between the north and the south."

"I would like to hear it in detail, and I will listen to it." Originally, hearing these two questions, Chai Yu was shocked in his heart. Now that Wang An has a plan, he is naturally a little happy.

Wang An seemed to be thinking, turned his head and glanced at the hundred officials, and then looked at Chai Yu: "Duan Zhaorong, the eldest princess of Dali, Yelujing, the prince of Liao."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and hundreds of officials exchanged heads and talked about it. They had heard about what happened three years ago. I heard that since that day, Duan Zhaorong, the eldest princess of Dali, has gradually become estranged from His Majesty and the Prime Minister. Not to mention whether she will help or not, even if she wants to. But after all, she has been in power for five years, and I am afraid that she is powerless in the face of such national affairs. As for Ye Lujing, the crown prince of Liao, it seems that he has never had any intersection with this dynasty.

"If you can get the help of these two people, it may be possible. It's just that even if the eldest princess of Dali agrees to my request of Da Zhou and convinces the Emperor of Dali to send troops to fight each other, I am afraid that the statement that the prime minister will win the battle is also inappropriate. After all, Jiaozhi and Dali, the strength of the two countries is equal." Chai Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, this matter is very difficult.

Wang An obviously knew what Chai Yu was worried about, and he wanted to speak a little, so he simply put his heart sideways: "Your Majesty, whether it is the eldest princess of Dali or Yelujing, the prince of Liao. It's not for us to persuade."

When the officials heard this, the whole court was in an uproar, and they didn't care about the majesty of the prime minister, so they had the courage to stand up and accuse loudly.

"Ridiculous, as a prime minister, how can he say such a statement above the court."

"Since it's impossible, why do you bother to ......talk about it, Prime Minister."

Some of the words came forward one after another and impeached one after another. Cao Gao saw that the situation was expanding again, and saw Chai Yu's hint, and he hurriedly shouted: "The dynasty prohibits noisy ......."

The officials closed their mouths one after another, and the hall was quiet.

"Your Majesty, we can't, but someone can. When the minister heard that the prince of Liao was an envoy in our dynasty, he received many favors from Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he had a good relationship with Liu Sheng and Jia Fu. Li Shangshu doesn't know what he really is, is what he said right?" After Wang An finished speaking, he looked at Li Miao and asked.

Li Miao strode out, looked at Chai Yu, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's words are true." At that time, the ministers also kept their duties, and as for personal relations and favors, they couldn't talk about it."

"I beg Your Majesty to let Li Shangshu bring the letters of Liu Sheng and Jia Fu. It is not difficult to go to Liao in person." Wang An nodded slightly when he saw Li Miao's generous admission. This person knows current affairs and has a very close relationship with Liu Sheng, so it is best not to conflict.

Chai Yu fell into deep thought, and after thinking about the cause and effect, he nodded slightly: "This matter will bother Li Qing, go to Jiajia Village first, and ask for a letter." In my capacity as an envoy of our court, I went to Liao to discuss this matter with the prince of Liao."

"Your Majesty is slow, don't do anything. Li Shangshu is going to Jiajia Village, please also inform Liu Sheng of the details. Ask him to persuade the eldest princess of Dali, and go to Dali with him to fight for a decisive battle." Wang An saw that Li Miao was about to receive the order, and hurriedly told what he was thinking in his heart.

Hearing Liu Sheng's words, the officials collectively lost their voices. With his achievements, he led 5,000 troops, defeated 60,000 enemies, and seized the land of natural danger. With his talent, the prime minister's plan is not impossible. It's just that I heard that he was indifferent to fame and fortune, and that happened again three years ago. I want to invite him out of the mountain, but I'm afraid it will be difficult.

When Chai Yu heard Wang An's remarks, he showed a hesitant expression: "Please ask Liu Sheng to come out of the mountain, I can't ask for it." It's just that this matter, I'm afraid it's not easy."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister Li Miao will definitely complete these two things. He Liu Sheng just doesn't want to go out of the mountain, and he will tie him up and go to Dali." Li Miao saw Chai Yu's hesitant expression, and hurriedly reassured. I feel a little guilty about what happened three years ago. Since he was able to go to Jiajia Village this time, he vowed to pull Liu Sheng out.

Chai Yu saw Li Miao, swore an oath, and was overjoyed: "If Qing can do these two things, I will remember your first achievement." When the Qing is successful, I will drive the expedition in person and fight the power of the Western Xia Yang and my Great Zhou."

"The minister will live up to it, Your Majesty's hope". Li Miao bowed down and solemnly received the order. (To be continued.) )
