The time gradually came to May, and the two emperors had been standing side by side for more than a month, although neither side recognized the other, but the people and lower-level officials of the Daning Dynasty had accepted the reality, calling Yongjing Xining and Luojing Dongning.

As the two Daning dynasties quickly stabilized power, the war for land gradually came to an end, and one of the two sides broke out was the Jinzhou in Hedong.

At the beginning of May, Uncle Shen returned to Yongjing in Shuzhou, and was crowned as Shangshuling, Taiwei, and Hanzhong County King, with 5,000 households, which was the first county king with a different surname in the history of the Daning Dynasty, not only dominating the power, but also controlling the 300,000 troops of the Xining Dynasty.

However, Uncle Shen also has troubles, that is, there are contradictions within Yongjing, that is, the Empress Dowager Shen listens to the government, she controls the national seal, intervenes in politics, and is dissatisfied with Uncle Shen's monopoly on power, and more importantly, she always holds the 200,000 troops deployed in the Guannei area in her hands, and she named Luo Zhiyu, the general of the former Yulin Army, as the secretary of the military department and the generalissimo of the Guannei, commanding the 200,000 army for her, and all army movements must be ordered by her Yulin Fu.

And Bai Mingkai, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the secretary of Dali Temple, is also the confidant of the Empress Dowager Shen, and he controls dozens of important positions, so that the Xining Dynasty has actually been divided into two political groups, one is the political group of Shen Guo's uncle, and the other is the political group of the Empress Dowager Shen, they sometimes cooperate, sometimes disagree, and the Xining Emperor Huangfu Tian is the link and lubricant between the two groups.

Huangfu Tian is only thirteen years old this year, he is young and old, the city is quite deep, usually not much to say, because he is not young enough to read power, he spends most of his time in the palace reading, checking various edicts and folds in the past, at the same time, he is also thinking about the unification of the Daning Dynasty.

In the afternoon, Huangfu Tian sat in his small imperial study, reading and thinking as usual, his imperial study is located in the North Pole Hall of Ping'an Palace, Ping'an Palace is the former Daming Palace, 30 years ago the Jin'an Incident in the several burned palaces were repaired, then renamed Ping'an Palace.

The Arctic Hall is the inner hall, a newly renovated small palace, which is dedicated to Huangfu Tian's reading and study, and Huangfu Tian spends most of his daily time here.

At this time, Huangfu Tian was staring at the Daning map on the wall with his hands behind his back, and the map had been outlined by him with a color pen, marking several major forces of the Daning Dynasty, which he called the group, Yongjing Group, Luojing Group, Chuzhou Group, Qizhou Group and Youzhou Group.

According to his intuition, the strongest of these five groups should be the Chuzhou Group, but the weakest is also the Chuzhou Group, the two places are separated, and the strength of the whole cannot be condensed, so is it possible for Yongzhou to form an alliance with the Chuzhou Group first and destroy the Luojing Group?

"Your Majesty, Shen Xiangguo is here!" A eunuch reported at the door.

"Please come in!"

After a while, Uncle Shen Guo walked into the imperial study and saluted with a smile, "Old minister Shen Qin sees Your Majesty!" ”

"Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Uncle Shen sat down on the soft pier, he leaned over and smiled: "I came to Your Majesty today because I have a major strategy to discuss with Your Majesty. ”

"Talk to me?"

Huangfu Tian smiled slightly, he immediately guessed Uncle Shen's intentions, "Xiangguo wants the queen mother to cooperate with you!" ”

At some point, Uncle Shen and Empress Dowager Shen, a pair of siblings, became political enemies, and Emperor Fuheng became the link between them.

"That's right, the minister has a two-chess strategy, hoping to get the support of the Queen Mother."

Uncle Shen smiled a little embarrassedly, the Empress Dowager Shen and him formed a confrontation situation, which he never expected, at that time, the emperor was not an adult, and there were three plans to choose the power model, one was the imperial uncle's regent, one was to form a political hall, the other was the queen mother's listen, Xiangguo was in charge, the first two plans Uncle Shen Guo would not agree, the imperial power was inseparable, and the regent was not absolutely not; Xiangguo is inseparable, and it is not possible to form a political hall, so he chose the third model, the queen mother listens to the government, and he Shenqin takes charge of government affairs.

He never thought that the Queen Mother, who had always lived in the deep palace, would be so powerful, enveloping the general Luo Zhiyu, controlling the 200,000 directly governed army of Huangfu Xuande, and taking advantage of the opportunity for him to pacify Shuzhong, and establishing a civil official force headed by Bai Mingkai, and establishing a powerful force, which is enough to compete with him.

What made Uncle Shen even more unexpected was that the young emperor actually had imperial means, and in the middle of these two groups, he pulled and knocked, and finally he became the link between these two groups, and no one could do without him, if he was not passed, then the plan proposed by the two power groups would definitely not succeed.

Huangfu Tian knew in his heart that it had been five days since Uncle Shen returned to Yongjing, but he had not moved, he must be preparing a plan, and now that he is here, that is the day when he plans to show up.

"Double chess strategy? Well! It's kind of interesting, Xiangguo, please just say it, I'd love to hear it! ”

"That's the case, the minister has been watching the movements of Chuzhou for this time, the news of Luojing that the minister just got, Su Xun, the special envoy sent by Huangfu Heng, returned empty-handed, did not get a copper coin, nor did he get a grain of grain, and even the money and grain that Yang Ting'an of Yuhang County had shipped to the sea was intercepted by Huangfu Wujin, Your Majesty, this is a very delicate news!"

"Xiangguo means that there is a deep contradiction between Huangfu Heng and Huangfu Wujin, right?"

"That's right, we should find a way to intensify the contradictions between them, they refuse to tear their faces, let's help him tear it!"

Huang Fu Tian sat down slowly, he pondered for a moment and said, "But..... How can we tear their skins? ”

Uncle Shen Guo smiled, but he was not in a hurry to answer this question, and changed the topic to another matter, "Your Majesty, this matter is left to the minister, you need to use a little means, wait for the minister to have eyebrows, and then report to Your Majesty, the minister wants to talk about the second move." ”

Huang Fu Tian looked at Uncle Shen Guo, with his understanding of Uncle Shen Guo, Uncle Shen must have a plan, but he refused to tell himself, Huang Fu Tian was a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Huang Fu Tian already had the city government in his heart, so he didn't ask much, so he nodded, "Xiangguo, please speak!" ”

Uncle Shen Guo walked to the map and pointed to Jinzhou with a wooden pole, "Your Majesty, Jinzhou is the passage between Guanzhong and Hebei, it is a strategic battleground, and it is also an important production area of grain, if we can take Jinzhou, it is of great significance for our strategic expansion, now the king of Qi is attacking Hebei in a big way, and Huangfu Heng has also ended the occupation of Jingzhou, next, he will inevitably march into Jinzhou, Your Majesty, although I don't want this war for Jinzhou to come too early, it is inevitable." ”

Huangfu Tian also walked to the map and stared at Jinju, where he had drawn a red line, which meant that it was a strategic priority for priority.

"I agree with Sangkook's suggestion, but how should this battle be fought? Xiangguo has a plan in mind? ”

"The minister is considering attacking from the north and south!"

Uncle Shen Guo pointed to Yanchuan County in the north, "The northern line can cross the Yellow River from the Yanchuan ferry and take Taiyuan Mansion directly, while the southern line crosses the river from Hancheng County and occupies Hedong County and Jiangjun County, Lao Chen estimates that Huangfu Heng's army is very likely to have entered Hanoi County and Changping County, in this way, a fierce battle is inevitable in the south of Jinzhou, Lao Chen hopes that the northern army can go south, cooperate with the southern line of operations, and completely annihilate Huang Fuheng's army, so that Jinzhou belongs to us, take Jinzhou, tie the king of Qi in the east, and then successfully provoke the relationship between Huangfu Heng and Huangfu Wujin, so that this way." , Huangfu Heng's demise is just around the corner. ”

Huangfu Tian nodded slowly, he had to admit that Uncle Shen Guo was very strategic, especially the distant and close attack, the king of Qi in the east, and the joint attack on Yuzhou, which was a good strategy.

"I have already understood the layout of Xiangguo, I will immediately visit the queen mother and persuade her to send troops into Jinju from the north, I think about it, the queen mother must be happy."

．．．．．．．．． On the eighth day of the fifth month, an army of 60,000 people appeared at Gudukou in Yanchuan County, this army was the Northern Army of Yongzhou, controlled by the Empress Dowager Shen Qinyu, according to the agreement reached between her and Uncle Shen, after capturing Jinzhou, with Taiyuan Province as the boundary, the northern part of Jinzhou, including Taiyuan Province, was controlled by her army, and the southern part of Jinzhou was controlled by Uncle Shen's army, and her army would cooperate with Uncle Shen to fight against the army of the puppet emperor of Luojing.

This army of 60,000 people was commanded by Zhao Xuan, the general of the Right Wuwei, divided into 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, and requisitioned more than 100,000 people from Yan'an County and Shangjun County as logistical support, and drove to Jinzhou.

The opposite bank of the ancient ferry port in Yanchuan County is the ancient river of Yongheguan, here is the central and southern break of the Qin-Jin Grand Canyon, the riverbed is narrow, the water flow is turbulent, it is very difficult to cross the river, the ordinary people use sheepskin rafts to cross the river, and the raft overturns and dies if they are not careful.

And the Daning Dynasty was founded three hundred years ago, attaches importance to the development of shipbuilding, a hundred years ago, several Beijing shipbuilding craftsmen invented a kind of flat-bottomed turtle boat, the shape is like a giant tortoise, 15 zhang long, 12 zhang wide, divided into two layers, the wall of the boat is thick, the bottom of the boat is wide and heavy, should not be washed away by the rapids, this turtle boat walks slowly, but is extremely suitable for crossing the river in the rapids, so this turtle boat has been vigorously developed on both sides of the Yellow River, there have been thousands of them, become the most important means of transportation on both sides of the Yellow River.

The wharf was crowded with people, 60,000 troops and 20,000 war horses and piles of grain and grass baggage, blocking the entire ancient ferry port of Yanchuan County, the wharf was not big, the Yongzhou army only requisitioned more than 20 turtle boats, one turtle boat could transport 100 people at a time, and began to transport troops and materials to the east bank of Jinju day and night.

At the same time, Uncle Shen appointed Shao Jingwen, the general of Xiuyiwei, as the main general, to lead an army of 80,000 to the direction of Hancheng, and the 80,000 army was divided into three teams and began to cross the river in a section nearly 100 miles long from Hancheng in the north to Haoyang in the south.

On the Yuzhou side, Huang Fuheng appointed Yang Sheng, the secretary of the military department, as the generalissimo, and appointed Li Yan, the general of Meihuawei, and Qin Hanwu, the governor of Xingyang, as the generals of the left and right armies, and set out on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, leading a total of 150,000 troops to cross the river from Gongxian and Xingze counties into Hanoi County, and they will cross the Taihang Mountains into Changping County.

A war for Jinju gradually began, which meant that the war for the Central Plains officially began.
