At the same time as the fleet, there were also letters sent to the kings of Qi, Yue, Shu, and the rebel armies in the puppet Chu and Northern Yuan, calling on them to jointly resist the invasion of the northern captives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In Shuzhong, Yizhou, and the palace of the king of Shu, Prime Minister Su Zican sent a letter from Jiazhou to the ministers, "Jiazhou sent someone to send the news, and the northern captives are going south again, and they have gathered 100,000 troops to enter Hedong Road, and it will probably not be long before they will attack the territory of Henan Province; In the name of King Fu, Li You of Jiazhou called on all the countries of the world to join forces to resist the northern captives, I don't know what you think? ”

"Li You's move is just to gain some fame for King Fu, and I don't think he will send troops and horses to fight against the Beiyu." Su Shaoyou, a famous genius in Shu and now the head of the Ministry of Rites of the King of Shu, said disdainfully, thinking that he and Li You were both guests of the West Garden Yaji, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few years, Li You was in charge of the authority of a country, but he could only condescend to others, and when he thought of these Su Shaoyou, he was quite unwilling, so he said sarcastically, but he forgot that he had not been long after he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he could serve as a national waiter, which is also a rare thing since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

However, if someone talked about it in front of him, he only thought that he was talented and could hold this important position, but he didn't realize that Li You's talent seemed to be far above him.

Su Zican shook his head secretly, his own clan brother was a little too arrogant, "The spies we sent to Jiazhou have sent the news, Li You has personally led an army of 50,000 to the north now, judging from the news that came out, his purpose seems to be Shenzhou in the northwest of Huainan Province, Shenzhou is only a hundred miles away from the puppet Chu's Gyeonggi Province, and the reason is that the army waved its army into Gyeonggi Province to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, so as to force the Beiyu to return to help." ”

"Once Li You enters Gyeonggi Province, is it not far from the capital? If he breaks through the capital, it will be a big bad thing for us. Hearing this, some ministers immediately frowned, the political significance of the capital is too important, if it is occupied by Li You, King Fu's prestige will rise sharply, so as to take the lead in the struggle for hegemony among the countries.

"Shannan Dongdao is also next to Gyeonggi Province, if we take advantage of the stalemate between Pseudo-Chu and Li You, ambush a group of troops and horses in Shannan Dongdao, and wait until the Pseudo-Chu troops are transferred by Li You to kill from the flank, and directly attack the capital, there may be unexpected gains." Li Boyu, the secretary of the military department of the king of Shu, felt that this seemed to be an opportunity.

Su Zican and the others' eyes lit up, and they seemed to think that this was indeed a good way, but several generals in the hall were embarrassed, with those weak soldiers under their command, it would be good to be able to hold the Shannan East Road, so dare to involve Li You and Pseudo Chu in the big battle? So they lowered their heads one after another, for fear that they would be selected as the generals who led the army.

"So it's decided, immediately prepare food, grass and ordnance, gather soldiers and horses and prepare to rush to Shannan Dongdao." However, there was no civil official in this hall who thought to ask for their opinions, and after some discussion, they made a decision on this, and they planned to send 30,000 soldiers and horses to Shannan Dongdao to look for opportunities.

Jiangnan Dongdao, there is also a group of ministers in the palace of King Yue discussing the current situation, "Cui Jidao, the prime minister of the King of Qi, sent a letter, saying that the northern captives have now invaded Hedong Road, and it is not far from their Henan Province, so they want us to send sailors to help in the war; And Jiazhou Li You also sent news, calling on all the kings of the world to jointly resist the northern captives, and now he has personally led an army of 50,000 to Huainan Province, preparing to attack Xu Shiyong's Gyeonggi Province; Ladies and gentlemen, now that the situation is turbulent, how should we respond? Will they send troops to aid King Qi or will they stand still? ”

"Now among the countries, we have the least troops, this Cui Jidao asked us for help, I'm afraid I found the wrong person, I think we still watch from the wall, watching them kill together, and it's not too late to make a decision when the winner is about to be decided." Wang Wufeng, the governor of the maritime business, said that he could see more clearly that the king of Yue did not have the strength to dominate the world.

"I think what Cui Jidao means is that he wants our sailors to go north to Hedong Road, and to copy the back road of the Beiyu, and stage their grain and grass, so that the Beiyu will retreat without a fight, and they can also keep Henan Road." Yan Zhenquan, who was also a maritime businessman, said that starting from Jiangnan West Road, it is indeed possible to reach Hedong Road by going north along the coastal road.

"What's in it for us? Our loss of troops and generals made King Qi pick up a bargain. "Most of the ministers under the command of King Yue are from wealthy businessmen, and they attach great importance to interests, and they will never do things like this that have no benefits.

"Cui Jidao promised us that as long as we can let the northern captives retreat, then he is willing to send 500,000 taels of silver, and then cede several ports in Henan Province to us for our ships to dock and trade." Zheng Feihuang, the prime minister of the King of Yue and the largest maritime merchant in Jiangnan Province, showed everyone the conditions offered by the King of Qi.

"Hiss~" Everyone suddenly gasped, 500,000 taels of silver was fine, none of them paid attention to it, but they had coveted the ports in Henan Province for a long time, and now Cui Jidao had opened such a condition, but it was a little difficult for them to choose.

"What if we get to the port? The merchants of Henan Province are all controlled by those families. Wang Wufeng unceremoniously interrupted their fantasy of wanting to use these ports to send their goods to Henan Province, when there is only one buyer left in the market, business will not be too easy, "And although the sailors we are waiting for the elite, but the foot soldiers are not enough to hold these ports, if Cui Jidao wants to turn his face in the future, what can we do?" ”

These words dispelled everyone's passion, and then gradually calmed down, and finally after some discussion, they decided not to reply to Cui Jidao's conditions for the time being, and then make a decision when the future war is clear.

The King of Shu and the King of Yue are better, this war has no direct relationship with them, all they have to consider is whether they can get any benefits from it, but it is different for several other forces, especially Xu Shiyong, who was trapped in the capital, when he heard that Li You led an army of 50,000 to the north to attack Gyeonggi Province, he was immediately frightened, and he couldn't compete with Li You by relying on the old, weak, sick and disabled under his command.

"Quick, go and ask General Yale...... No, no, I personally visited General Yale's mansion. Xu Shiyong pinned his hopes for keeping the process on Yalehan and his 30,000-strong army. (To be continued.) )
