Chapter 460: Impossible

With the departure of the Yin family's army from the capital, a lot of places were vacated in the capital, and the emperor also summoned many horses back to Beijing during this time, coupled with the mentality of fighting against the water in his heart, so he was inseparable from the five princes.

But the emperor only relies on his imperial power and the few military powers in his hands, although he is the lord of a country, but the west has been painstakingly operated by Liu Jin for so many years, just like an iron pass, he can't get into it at all.

Therefore, even if he wanted to support or strengthen the western defense line, the emperor could only send them soldiers and horses, grain and grass, but in this case, he could mobilize much less manpower around the capital.

In addition, the tiger and wolf army of Qingcang Kingdom in the entire north is too much of a threat to the emperor, Xing Tianze has met with Nangong Yuan twice before, so that the current guards in the north are basically his people, and it is extremely difficult for the emperor to make any changes.

He didn't need to worry so much about Dongzhou's side, the Wang family had accumulated a lot of capital in the development of these years, and he also ate the seven counties in the south of the Yangtze River in the hands of the Gongsun family, making their strength rise to an extremely strong level again.

It's just that some rogues gathered overseas, without any strong support, no hoarding of ordnance and grain and grass, and no powerful siege equipment, so the Wang family was already victorious at the beginning of the war.

However, there must be no slackening in the defense line between the west and the north, so the only thing the emperor can do is to send them strong soldiers and horses, and quickly allocate sufficient grain and grass.

After the rectification proposed by the emperor himself in the court, as well as the grain, grass and ordnance obtained by the five princes in Fuyang State, the current treasury is no longer what it used to be.

The ordnance money and food have reached a peak in ten years, enough to sustain the country of Xingzhao for a year-long war.

Looking at the dozen or so officials discussing with each other, a shrewd light suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes, because he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

The north can be said to be a stronghold created by Xing Tianze himself, so wouldn't it be okay for him to lead his soldiers and horses to the front line?

And on the surface, this matter is for the country and the people, and it is a matter of preventing the enemy from outside the country, as long as the emperor issues this holy decree, Xing Tianze has no superfluous excuse to refuse, so won't it strengthen the defense force in the north?

In other words, even if he really refused, then the emperor would have enough reason to take away the military power in Xing Tianze's hands, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?

Just as the emperor was thinking about these things, an official suddenly raised a question, if the five princes were allowed to defend the defense line in the north, then who would defend the defense line in the northeast and northwest?

After hearing this, the emperor was directly stunned in his chair, and then he realized that he had not thought it through, and ignored a very important matter, the direction in which Qingcang Kingdom could move troops was not just a due north direction, but the entire northern defense line.

If the two places in the northeast and northwest are also handed over to Xing Tianze, isn't it equivalent to the emperor himself handing over half of the country of Xingzhao to Xing Tianze?

This is something that the emperor will never allow to happen, he has finally survived to this extent, and Xing Tianze's flaws have become more and more.

If the emperor can't seize the best opportunity during this time, then it is equivalent to letting Xing Tianze continue to grow bigger, and if he doesn't let the fifth prince go to lead the reinforcement of the northern defense line, the threat of Qingcang Kingdom will become more and more serious.

For a while, the more than a dozen officials in the imperial study quickly and fiercely discussed, the situation was much more difficult than everyone imagined, and many deadly dangers were all hidden under the imperceptible surface of the water.

At the same time, in a city outside the northeastern frontier of the Xingzhao Kingdom, Murong Yu was standing on top of the city at this time, his eyes slightly squinting at the emerald green color of the mountains and mountains in the distance.

Outside these cities is the city of Xing Zhaoguo, this time for some reason he suddenly didn't know how to face Xing Tianze, the previous relationship in the capital made the friendship between them a little different.

To this day, he still clearly remembers what he said when Nameless found Nangong Yuan, how similar to what Xing Tianze and Wuxian once said: When the war is going on today, what innocent people are there?

On the nameless body, Murong Yu clearly saw no trace, or some shadow of Xing Tianze, but it was just a shadow.

It is true that his courage and learned talent cannot be underestimated by anyone, but the nameless mental technique is so undignified that Murong Yu still feels that he has an iron scorpion in his heart.

As indifferent and ruthless as iron and stone, and as vicious and decisive as a snake and scorpion, he didn't have much of a good impression of such a Murong Yu, and even had the idea of wanting to wipe him out in the depths of his heart.

Although he hadn't really fought with Nameless yet, from the little by little contact on weekdays, Murong Yu could still judge very bluntly that the latter's skills should not be under Xing Tianze.

Murong Yu didn't have the confidence to kill with one blow or be able to take it down accurately, and he felt even more that although the nameless idea sounded extraordinarily bold, the benefits that could also be harvested could really be worthy of their efforts.

It's just that as far as the current situation is concerned, he and Nangong Yuanbing have achieved very good results in two ways, but the Qingcang Kingdom and the treasury are not allowed to talk about making more support.

Although the five kingdoms that were conquered were relatively rich, hundreds of thousands of troops were rushing to fight outside, and the amount of food, grass and ordnance needed was extraordinarily large.

Murong Yu had made three suggestions to Nangong Yuan before, the first was a truce, the Qingcang Kingdom has been fighting a series of wars in recent years, which has caused a serious burden on the people and the treasury, so they need a lot of time to recuperate, so that the people in the country can live a better life.

The second is Tuntian, in those places where there are not many people, go to fertile fields, and then use 100,000 soldiers to farm and raise land, so that the grain and grass in the treasury can be hoarded, and then reduce the taxes of the people.

The last point is also the most important point that Murong Yu once said, to stabilize the status and power of the royal family in the country, and severely crack down on those who are unkind to the rich and collusion between the government and the people.

In order to increase the power in Nangong Yuan's hands, but before any of these three points could be completed, they were all broken by the sudden appearance of the nameless, so that Murong Yu's entire plan was almost in vain.
