Worse news followed.

Yan Shou raised troops to the south, claiming to lead 100,000 soldiers, but in fact, 20,000 soldiers and horses frequently made big noises at the border between Youzhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It seems that he wants to seize the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Zhang is shaken!

Yan Yunge actually persuaded Yan Shouzhan to send troops, what benefits did he promise?

If anyone sent troops, Liu Zhang would not be so nervous.

Only Yan defended the war, and the lonely force was nominally a courtier of the Southern Wei Dynasty, but in fact it was an independent local prince.

His independence is even higher than that of Pingwu Marquis Shiwen.

Because Yuzhou is close to the territory of the Southern Wei Dynasty, it is easy to be constrained.

Youzhou, where Yan defends the war, does not have this problem.

In addition, Yan Shouzhan guarded the border defense line, which can also be regarded as a barrier of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Right now, Liu Zhang is not willing to start a war with Wu Heng, it's no good!

Instead, it consumes troops, food and grass.

There are Yan guarding the border defense line, he is relieved.

Outcome......

Yan Shouzhan Xingbing came to visit, and this matter was a headache.

While actively preparing for war, he sent a letter to Yan Shouzhan and a letter to Emperor Xiao Chengwen of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Yan Shouzhan's reply was simple.

"If you beat my daughter, this king will beat you!"

Liu Zhang's eyes twitched in anger.

"I really didn't see it, he actually doted on Yan Yunge so much. It's ridiculous! ”

"Yan Yunge stirs up the wind and rain, and his methods are really extraordinary. On the side of the Southern Wei court, Emperor Xiao Chengwen was also anxious. The three heirs left by Emperor Dezong Taining really became a hidden danger, and there was an uproar inside and outside the court. Not surprisingly, this matter was also secretly provoked by Yan Yunge. ”

"It's more than that. Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen had the courage to send troops, and even the Southern Wei court did not get the slightest rumor beforehand. ”

The courtiers gossiped about the recent changes in the situation in the world.

Don't say I don't know, but when I talk about it, I find that there is the shadow of Yan Yunge behind all the changes.

She is like a ghost, where there is an opportunity, there is her shadow.

Liu Zhang grimaced and scolded angrily, "Your hand is long enough!" ”

There's her everywhere.

A woman, restless and self-conscious, does not teach her husband and children, and thinks about grabbing territory with the old man all day long, and the atmosphere of the world has been damaged by her.

"Your Majesty, should you recall Your Highness?"

"Why are you recalling Baoshun?"

Weichen thought that there was no need to continue this battle, and it was useless. The four coastal counties cannot be recovered for the time being, so it is better to withdraw troops and wait for a good opportunity. ”

"Wechen agrees! It was spring ploughing, and there was a drought everywhere. In some areas, it has not rained for nearly two months. It is time for the imperial court to distribute grain and grass, carry out disaster relief, and let the people return to their hometowns to repair water conservancy and ensure irrigation, so as to ensure this year's autumn harvest. ”

"The Southern Wei side is not very peaceful. This year, there have been several peach blossom floods, and the seeds have been soaked and drowned by the floods, and the people have suffered heavy losses. At the same time, drought has occurred in some high-lying places. For the time being, the Southern Wei court can still cope.

However, I believe that Yan Yunge has paid attention to all this, and with her strategy, she will inevitably take measures. Once there is a problem in a certain link, the Southern Wei court will inevitably suffer from the enemy. At that time, if you don't want to withdraw from the army, you can only choose to withdraw from the army. ”

Liu Zhang frowned, and there were 10,000 alpacas galloping past in his heart.

"According to what you Aiqing said, even the heavens are helping Yan Yunge? The Northern Wei Dynasty was drought, and the Southern Wei Dynasty was accompanied by drought. Whether it is our Northern Wei Dynasty or the Southern Wei Dynasty, we urgently need to let the people return to their hometowns to repair water conservancy and ensure this year's spring plowing and autumn harvest. As soon as the people retreated, there would be no one to transport the grain and grass, and how could the army still fight! ”

A courtier muttered in a low voice: "Maybe the old man is really standing on Yan Yunge's side and helping her through the current difficulties." ”

"Ridiculous!"

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"

Without waiting for Liu Zhang to scold, the other courtiers took the lead in roaring.

"Yan Yunge is a woman, how can she let God help her. Hugh will say something like that. ”

"This year is just a coincidence! It can't be such a coincidence every time! Sooner or later, Yan Yunge will bring about his own destruction. ”

"Your Majesty decides! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he can't fight a war of attrition with Xiao Yi. It is even more impossible to start a war with Yan Shou and Pingwu Hou Shiwen. ”

Bang!

Liu Zhang smashed his fist on the bookcase, "Shut up!" ”

The courtiers were silent and did not dare to speak.

Liu Zhang's prestige is too high, and no one dares to disobey him.

Liu Zhang walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, frowning and thinking deeply.

If Yan Yuntong led the troops to attack, he would not take the other party in his eyes at all.

Just one Yan Yuntong, it is not enough to let His Majesty the Emperor worry about it, and the generals below can deal with it.

But......

Yan Shouzhan is different!

Yan Shouzhan personally led the troops to attack, and Liu Zhang, as the emperor, had to face it squarely and fight with the spirit to deal with this matter.

Because......

Pull one to start the whole body.

Yan Yuntong only represents his personal thoughts and wishes.

Yan Shouzhan represents the will of the entire Youzhou soldiers and horses, the entire Youzhou, and the entire border defense line......

It's a big deal in itself.

He personally led the troops, and he showed his attitude, this time he will stand on Yan Yunge's side and stand up for Yan Yunge.

Troublesome!

Liu Zhang didn't want to start a war with Yan Shouzhan for the time being, not because he couldn't win, but because it was unnecessary.

Because he was not ready to take back the frontier front, and he was not ready to deal with the invasion of Wuheng Xirong on his own.

Border......

It is an important thing that causes headaches for all the courts.

The amount of grain and grass consumed each year is astronomical.

The source of troops required is also a long-standing problem.

Yan Shouzhan guarded the border line for him, which was very good.

In this way, he will not have to fight on both ends.

This is also a tacit understanding.

Guarding each other's boundaries and being at peace with each other.

Right now......

Yan Shouzhan took the initiative to break the boundary, and he had to deal with it carefully.

"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops!"

"Shut up!"

"Your Majesty, once we withdraw our troops, the Southern Wei side is bound to withdraw our troops as well. Without the help of our Northern Wei Dynasty, Xiao Chengwen would not have been able to persist in fighting at both ends for a long time. In addition, the Southern Wei court was making a fuss, and instead of letting the Southern Wei take the lead in withdrawing troops, we changed from active to passive. It is better for us to take the lead in withdrawing our troops and always grasp the initiative. ”

There are always courtiers who are not afraid of death and speak out boldly.

"Your Majesty, Wechen thought it was time to change the name of the country. The luck of Dawei is not as good as before, and it can be said that it is declining. The current situation can be seen as a return to the light. Continuing to use the country name 'Wei', the old minister thought that he would be dragged down by the Southern Wei Dynasty! ”

"That makes sense!"

As soon as the topic was raised, it was brought to the change of country name.

This topic is not the first time it has been raised.

Since Liu Zhang ascended the throne and became emperor, some people advised to change the name of the country.

Even Liu Baoshun and his brothers were in favor of changing the country name.

It was Liu Zhang who insisted on using the country name 'Wei'.

It's just that it seems that 'Wei' is really not going well.

Even a mere Xiao Yi failed to win.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers, he also let Yan Yunge take advantage of the loophole and succeed in his treacherous plan.

Is......

It's infuriating!

Liu Zhang suddenly relented, "Regarding the national name, everyone in the court can speak freely. I will listen carefully to your thoughts. However, at the moment, it is still Yan Shouzhan who is the most critical. ”

"Wei Chen is willing to act as an envoy to negotiate with Yan Shouzhan for His Majesty. Yan Shouzhan only operates along the border, and although the movement is a bit big, Weichen thinks that he has always been very restrained. This is the basis of negotiations. I believe that we will be able to negotiate a result and resolve this matter smoothly. ”

Emperor Liu Zhang was very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, another courtier stood up, "Weichen is willing to send an envoy to Yuzhou to negotiate with Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen for His Majesty." Yan Yunge can impress Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, and Weichen also has a way to impress him. ”

"So good! You are all my humerus ministers, sharing my worries. If I can persuade Yan Shouzhan and Shi Wen to withdraw from the army, I will be rewarded. ”

"It is the duty of a courtier to share his worries for His Majesty."

"Hahaha......"

Liu Zhang laughed loudly, very happy.

Liu Baoshun continued to attack the four coastal counties, and even if he couldn't take the territory of the four counties, he would destroy the four counties.

Everything burned out.

Turn crops and fertile fields into scorched earth.

At the same time, the envoys set out to fight for a glimmer of opportunity.

Liu Zhang sent a total of three waves of envoys.

In addition to Yan Shouzhan and Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, there was also a wave of envoys who went to Jianzhou to negotiate with Xiao Chengwen, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Yan Yunge has become a big problem for his henchmen.

If you don't exterminate her while she is not yet strong, it will inevitably be difficult to control in the future.

Maybe one day, the world will change color and let a woman steal the throne.

As a good man in the world, how can he bow down to a woman.

It must be suppressed!

Suppress at all costs.

As long as the Southern Wei Emperor Xiao Chengwen agreed to his proposal, the two sides could continue to cooperate.

All-round, from the economy and people's livelihood to the military, all-round suppression.

But......

If the Southern Wei Emperor Xiao Chengwen was under pressure and could not or refused to continue to cooperate, then there was no need for him Liu Zhang to continue to play this game.

It's a big deal to abandon the four coastal counties, consolidate the existing territory, strengthen the soldiers and horses, and sooner or later annex the world.

He gave the choice to Xiao Chengwen, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty, who was actually a chicken thief.

He knew how great the pressure Xiao Chengwen was facing, not only did he not send charcoal in the snow, but he added fuel to the fire and persecuted together, he just didn't have a good heart.

As the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Liu Zhang naturally hoped that there would be internal chaos in the Southern Wei Dynasty.

As long as there is chaos, he will have a loophole to exploit.

Only when there is chaos can you fish in troubled waters.

In this world, it is time for the situation of the division between the north and the south to change.

……

The Jianzhou Imperial Court is like a vegetable market, noisy.

Even if Emperor Xiao Chengwen was suppressed several times, he couldn't suppress the ambition and courage of the courtiers.

This is a battle of orthodoxy.

How can my generation of scholars retreat!

We must be firm and courageous to fight for the rights and interests of the descendants of the first emperor.

The inheritance of the throne between brothers is already a violation of the rules, not in line with orthodoxy, and not in line with the stability and stability of imperial power.

It's time to set things right and get things back on track.

The matter has changed from whether to welcome the three county kings back to Jianzhou, and has changed to asking the emperor to appoint the king of Bushan County as the crown prince...... Return the throne to the heirs of the previous emperor and maintain legitimacy.

Lose your marbles!

This group of courtiers and families are all crazy!

Emperor Xiao Chengwen was in his prime, and he began to force the palace and force the emperor to appoint the crown prince.

And he is also the king of Bushan County!

Is it a palace change?
