Chapter 46 The Righteousness of the World
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the matter of forming an alliance with the Yan State to crusade against the Liang State?"
When Han Tingzhi heard Jiang Ruoxu's words, he couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth on the main hall for a few steps.
Jiang Ruoxu didn't say anything, he knew that this was his own lord thinking.
After a while, Han Tingzhi suddenly stopped, crossed his body and said to Jiang Ruoxu: "A few days ago, didn't Xiaoxian send a military order saying that although he trapped the Yan army in Dingcheng, Mobei City was taken away by the Yan army before he arrived, and passed the book to Pei Ju, and asked the Yan army to let Mobei City show his sincerity, and at the same time let Xiaoxian leave 100,000 troops to guard Mobei, and personally lead 100,000 elites to attack Jiangling!" ”
"Your Majesty, since it is an alliance, how can we ask Yan Guo?"
"There is no need to ask Yan Guo, just try to limit his soldiers and horses, as you said, the Yan army has arrived in the south and is rootless water, how can it compete with my Ming elite?" Han Ting said confidently.
Jiang Ruoxu thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to unify the south at this opportunity, so why don't I send the Jiujiang defenders to attack from the south, and let General Lu set off from Mobei City to attack the north of Daliang!" ”
"I was about to say, but just the soldiers of Jiujiang Town can't do it, but also send the defenders of the Jianmen Fortress, plus Xiaoxian's 100,000 army, I want to raise 300,000 troops and pacify the Liang State in one battle! The soldiers are fast, you hurry up and give the order, this time you don't need to worry about the Yan army or even the Yan army will take the initiative to attack the city and plunder the land for us, the lonely king is very fast! "The joy of Han Ting's face!
In less than an hour, several military orders were transmitted out of Jiangling and sent to Jiujiang, Jianmen, and Mobei, and then Jiang Ruoxu personally wrote a letter and sent someone to pass it to Pei Ju.
A few days later, Jiujiang Town and Jianmen Fortress received military orders, marched quickly, and went straight to Liang State.
Youzhou City, the messenger's station.
Pei Ju also opened the letter that Jiang Ruoxu had sent to him, and after reading it, he walked towards the Dayan Palace.
"The envoy has come here to bring the covenant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" Hong Zaixing asked, Hong Zaixing in this Youzhou city is all over the ears and eyes, before Pei Ju received the letter, Hong Zaixing already knew, after all, the messenger also wants to enter the city!
Pei Ju looked at Hong Zaixing with both eyes, and after bowing, he said: "I was about to tell Your Majesty that my Ming King has agreed to the covenant, but the foreign minister wants to ask Your Majesty why he committed my Mobei City?"
After finishing speaking, Pei Ju stared at Hong Zaixing even more.
Hong Zaixing was a little embarrassed, but his face was still light: "It was the deception of the big beam that made him act like this, but it was just a city in Mobei, it was better to give it to the widow and be the sincerity of this alliance!" ”
Hong Zaixing didn't want to return it, after all, he would have to move troops with Daming in the future, although he didn't know when, but such a military town would definitely not be returned to Daming.
Pei Ju stared at Hong Zaixing: "Since the king knows that he was deceived by others, why did he not repent of such a moralless thing?" Moreover, since ancient times, I have never heard that the covenant still needs sincerity, and the king is not the general state of Liang to surrender the whole country, and the unrighteous king of the two kingdoms at the same time, how can he learn from such a mediocre king, and offer sincerity in the alliance? ”
Hong Zaixing was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent for a while.
Pei Ju knew that this was the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he said again: "Your Majesty is rich in the north, but there is a city missing?" Since there is no shortage, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty dominates the south, and the same is true, what we are asking for is a city? ”
Hong Zaixing only spoke at this time: "Since this is the case, why ask for it?" ”
Pei Ju patted his sleeve, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said loudly: "I can't wait for a city, what we are waiting for is morality!" ”
The voice was so loud that Hong Zaixing couldn't help but look sideways.
After a pause, Pei Ju said even more righteously: "What the Ming Dynasty and Dayan made an alliance to destroy the Liang State was to do unrighteous things in the Great Liang - one country for two masters. Never before! Heaven does not allow it! We are attacking it with its injustice, and now it is also unrighteous for the king to occupy my Mobei, and it is also unjust, what face do we have to attack Liang State, isn't it fifty steps and a hundred steps! ”
"We are allies with each other, how would the Ming Dynasty want to see the king's unrighteous deeds, this time to the city, not the lack of a city, but my Ming king to save the king's righteousness, if you don't ask for the city, the king will not be unrighteous with the world, so that the ancestors are ashamed!"
At this time, Hong Zaixing didn't know what to say, this Ming envoy opened his mouth about the righteousness of the world, closed his mouth about the righteousness of the world, Hong Zaixing didn't know what to say, he could only blame himself for his bad eloquence, and he couldn't argue with this messenger.
There were a few scribes from Youzhou around, but Pei Ju connected this matter with the righteousness of the world and even Hong Zaixing's ancestors, and they didn't know what to say, so they had to keep silent.
Pei Ju knew that the time had come at this time, so he said: "The king has 200,000 soldiers in Dingcheng, and we are about to make an alliance at this time, will the king withdraw his troops?" ”
Hong Zaixing knew that he had to say something at this time, and the envoy did not mention Mobei at this time, so he said: "King Lone is about to send this army to crusade against Liang State!" ”
Pei Ju smiled slightly: "The king sent a large army, isn't Dingcheng empty, my Ming still has 200,000 garrisons here, and the king has an unrighteous act, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of my 200,000 soldiers in the Ming Dynasty?" But if these soldiers do something unjust, won't it make my two-nation covenant a joke? ”
Hong Zaixing knew that Pei Ju was threatening himself, but what others said did not have a sense of oppression at all, but a slight remark, which completely made Hong Zaixing angry!
So Hong Zaixing asked again: "What did the messenger say to do?" ”
At this time, Pei Ju straightened up, as if he was full of pride, and said loudly: "The king and our king have formed an alliance to crusade against the injustice of the Liang country, and then the prestige of the world will be all to the king and my majesty, but my Ming Emperor is not an unrighteous person, how can I enjoy this prestige without contribution, and my Ming Emperor His Majesty is also willing to send a large army to crusade against the Liang country!" ”
Hong Zaixing wants to say, isn't this how it should be? But there was no exit, and continued to listen to the messenger.
"My Majesty the Ming Dynasty first sent an envoy to avoid Da Yan falling into the tricks of the Liang State, and then took the initiative to form an alliance and was willing to send troops to attack the injustice of the Liang State.
At the same time, I am willing to send 100,000 troops from Mobei and stay in more than 100,000 Mobei City. Wangjun saw that my Ming soldiers also contributed to the covenant, leaving Mobei with the remaining 100,000 soldiers, and the ministers thanked them! ”
As he spoke, Pei Ju bowed deeply to Hong Zaixing.
Hong Zaixing waved his hand: "That's it, how can the Lone King do something unjust, Mobei City will be left to the remaining 100,000 soldiers, and the Lone King will also send 150,000 troops from Dingcheng to attack the Liang State!" ”
Only then did Pei Ju get up and bow high: "The morality of the king will be able to spread all over the world!" The foreign minister thanked the king for the 100,000 soldiers who stayed in Mobei. ”
