Chapter 417: The Rebels Assemble
"Sun Tong has an action over there, Xiang Tianzhou has begun to assemble his Huai'an army, plus Sun Tong himself is recruiting troops in Beijun, the other party should now have 100,000 elite soldiers, and there is enough food and grass, Fei'er, what are you going to do?"
Yan Feifei bent the corners of his mouth, and the eyes were cold, "What should I do?" To meet the enemy, of course! ”
The Yan'an army guarding the frontier naturally can't move, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi are now eyeing Dayan, if the Yan'an army leaves, the other party will definitely take this opportunity to start a war, and want to come to Dayan to get a piece of the pie, and in addition to the Yan'an army, only the Imperial Forest Army led by Xie Dong and the Yun'an army stationed in Kyoto can be used, together, there are only 70,000 elite soldiers, and the current treasury cannot support them for too long, so the battle line must not be extended.
Although Yan Feifei was not afraid, he was not without worries in his heart. She is just an older young man in her early twenties in modern times, even after crossing over, with the help of Xie Chengli, she made up a few military books and learned some military arts, but after all, she has never fought in actual combat, at least in terms of experience, she is far inferior to Sun Tong.
Even at the beginning of spring, the cold air does not abate at all, and the whole of Kyoto is shrouded in a continuous rain, and there is a sense of mountain rain coming to shake the wind at that time.
The hostile relationship between Yan Feifei and Sun Tong is not a secret, many ministers and businessmen, all through their own channels, learned that there is about to be a war, many businessmen have left Kyoto with their families overnight, and the usual bustling streets have now become so withered.
Yan Feifei and Xie Chengli walked side by side on the street, just after the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival couplets on the door had not been torn off, but there was no longer the lively atmosphere at the beginning.
A little girl suddenly ran out of the corner in front of her, bumped into Yan Feifei's body, and one of them didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.
Yan Feifei hurriedly ran forward and helped the person up, "Little sister, are you okay?" ”
The little girl shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm sorry brother, I accidentally bumped into you." ”
"It's okay."
The little girl left, but Yan Feifei noticed that the clothes she was wearing had been damaged in several places, and the shoes on her feet were also out of size, which made Yan Feifei feel a little distressed.
"Master, let's buy her a bun."
Xie Chengli nodded, took out the money bag and went to the bun shop next to him to buy two fresh meat buns, after Yan Feifei got it, he hurriedly caught up with the little girl, "Oh, my brother knocked you down just now, I should apologize to you, this meat bun is regarded as my brother's apology, how about it?" ”
The little girl smelled the fragrance of the meat buns, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, it looked like she had been hungry for a long time, and after a while, she saw that Yan Feifei and Xie Chengli looked sincere, not like liars, so she reached out and took the meat buns, and bowed deeply to the two, "Thank you, two brothers." ”
Seeing the little girl leave with joy, Yan Feifei finally smiled, and she said, "Master, I hope that every person in Dayan can have such a happy smile on their faces. ”
Xie Chengli touched her head and said softly, "Yes." ”
As long as it is what you want to do, I will definitely help you.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to go to war now." Above the court, Li Yanxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said these words, which did not surprise Yan Feifei, he, an old fox, has been wandering between Yan Feifei's side and Sun Tong's side, and whoever has the upper hand will be on whose side.
"Oh? It seems that Lord Li has different ideas from me, so why don't you talk about it, why shouldn't you go to war? ”
"Your Majesty, some time ago Pingzhou County was plagued, Your Majesty allocated grain and grass to help them tide over the difficulties, now the treasury is empty, and the remaining grain and grass cannot support the soldiers to fight on the front line, not to mention, there are Northern Qi and Southern Tang on the side, if there is a civil strife at this time, the other party takes the opportunity to send troops, I am afraid that we will be caught off guard, at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry for a while."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Yan Feifei looked at the black kneeling below, without the slightest expression on her face, which made it impossible to see what she was thinking in her heart now.
Li Yan also beat the drum in his confidence, he had fought with Yan Feifei so many times, and he also knew that the young emperor in front of him was not as mediocre and incompetent as they said, but he was thoughtful, and his high-sounding words didn't know if it would cause Yan Feifei's disgust.
Yan Feifei didn't speak for a long time, and in the silent court, she could only hear the sound of her stretching out her fingers and tapping on the chair, which seemed to knock on the hearts of every minister.
"Huh, think twice? Most of the people standing here now are old ministers, don't you know the grievances between me and Sun Tong? I have been suppressed by Sun Tong for so many years and become his puppet, is it possible, do you still want me to continue to be his puppet? Yan Feifei was furious, and it was the first time he said such a straightforward word.
The ministers didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they didn't dare to look directly into Yan Feifei's eyes.
At this time, Zhang Zuo stood up, "Your Majesty, Sun Tong must be removed, according to the current situation, if you want to make peace with Sun Tong and make him obedient, it is absolutely impossible, then you can only subdue him by force, otherwise, such a person in Beijun will always be a hidden danger, and the minister agrees with Your Majesty to send troops!" Then, he turned to look at Li Yanxin again, and continued: "As for the problems that Lord Li said, these are not unsolvable, if you are worried that the Southern Tang and Northern Qi will take the opportunity to send troops, we can send envoys and sign a contract with the two countries, so that they can promise to absolutely and absolutely not help Sun Tong, and not to invade my Dayan at this moment." ”
As soon as Zhang Zuo finished speaking, he attracted a burst of ridicule from Li Yanxin, "What Master Zhang said is light, how can you guarantee that the Southern Tang and Northern Qi will let go of such a good opportunity, how can you guarantee that they will definitely sign a contract with us?" ”
This time Zhang Zuo didn't speak, but Xie Chengli answered his question, "Master Li, could it be that you are really old and can't hear the news outside at 1 o'clock?" Your Majesty, according to the minister's knowledge, the four princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty have just ascended the throne not long ago, and because of the process of inheriting the throne, most of the ministers in the court disobey him, and now, he should be busy cleaning up the ministers of his country, and the same is true of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Tang Emperor is seriously ill and has no heirs under his knees, at this moment, they should also worry about the inheritance of their own country, rather than running to other countries to join in the fun. ”
This is the benefit of planting eyeliner in various countries, these news will come out soon, but Xie Chengli received it before them, and it is precisely because of this that he can support Yan Feifei in the court.
