Chapter 187: Summation
The Guanshan Department quickly discovered the problem, and a large number of scouts from the Great Zhou Longtang were dispatched, and they easily discovered that the raft was full of branches and there were no troops. It's a pity that by the time Guan Shan found out that he had turned around and chased after him, the Tiger Roaring Army had already fled far away.
A day later, the Guanshan troops arrived outside the city of Bei'an, but they did not dare to attack the city. Bei'an City originally had 200,000 troops, but now with the Tiger Roaring Army, the military strength has reached 500,000. This city is a big city, and the walls are thick, not to mention that with their 200,000 troops, even if they have three or four times more troops, they may not be able to capture it.
The most important thing is that Bei'an City is the territory of Southern Chu, and once attacked, it is tantamount to declaring war on Southern Chu. Now that the Great Zhou and North Vietnam are in a big war, how dare Guan Shan mess around without the will of the imperial court?
The news of the Tiger Roaring Army's successful return to Bei'an City spread throughout Dongshenzhou in just two or three days.
The entire Eastern Shenzhou was in an uproar, the people of Southern Chu were boiling, this army changed the battle situation between Southern Chu and Eastern Qi, it didn't matter if it entered the belly of the enemy country, it was still in a big turnaround, and now it has successfully returned, and the army has not lost too much...
This is a miracle, and many of the people have also given the Tiger Roar Army the title of Invincible Iron Army.
Xiong Jun, Zhuge Jian, Lu Guanhou, Princess Yunfei, Ju Wang and others all became famous. Especially Xiong Jun, who was originally just a little famous, has now become the general of the Tiger Roaring Army, and his prestige is far and wide. Li Yunyi's fame has not spread, the military advisor is not a military general, and everyone's recognition of the military advisor is not high.
Li Yunyi and the others lived in the City Lord's Mansion in Bei'an City, and after running around for so long, everyone had to rest and enjoy themselves. For the time being, they are not ready to leave, and they need to wait for the reaction of the Southern Chu Dynasty.
That majesty had ordered Ye Xiangfo not to take care of them and let them fend for themselves. Now that they are back, Da Zhou's side may be looking for trouble, so they naturally don't dare to leave casually, so wait for Da Zhou's reaction and the meaning of the bear.
There was no reaction from the bear!
Mi Xiong is now in the deep palace, the palace is blocked, and all news is also blocked. No one knows what his health is. However, several princes have returned to Chujing, Sima Yue and Ram Qiu have also returned, leaving only Ye Xiangfo in the eastern front.
The fighting has been calmed down for the time being.
All the territory of Southern Chu has been recovered, the army of Southern Chu of Teng State has withdrawn, and Liang Yufeng has returned to Teng State with his troops. Ram Qiu left 100,000 troops there to help defend it, and Liang Yufeng was considered a success in recovering the country. However, the follow-up reconstruction still needs the support of Nanchu, and now that the bear is like this, Nanchu has also suffered heavy losses, and the Nanchu court has no heart to pay attention to it in a short time.
Ye Xiangfo did not counterattack Eastern Qi!
Mi Xiong gave him a death order not to counterattack. The most important thing for Mi Xiong and Nan Chu now is the transfer of imperial power, and the rest of the things are not important. In addition, there is another point, Nanchu is also seriously injured in this war, and it needs to rest and recuperate, and the war is rekindled, in case the Western Jin Dynasty sends troops, then Nanchu will be in danger.
The news of the Tiger Roaring Army's return reached the bear's ears as soon as possible, and Zou Hui immediately sent a message to Ye Xiangfo. The bear didn't say anything, and he didn't give an order. After Ye Xiangfo received the news, he asked Zou Hui to bring an order, so that the Tiger Roaring Army would be on standby in Bei'an City, and let Yasukuni and Ningguo be responsible for supplying grain, grass and military supplies.
Mi Xiong didn't say that he was waiting for Da Zhou's attitude!
The Great Zhou side was very angry, and the Great Zhou Emperor ordered Guan Shan to be removed directly and replaced by a deputy general. At the same time, the magistrate tied up Guan Shan and sent him to the Holy Capital to be handed over to the Criminal Department for punishment. The Great Zhou court was noisy for a long time, some people said that they wanted to fight, some people said forget it, and in the end, the Great Zhou Emperor still did not choose to make a big move.
The war between the Great Zhou and North Vietnam fell into a stalemate, and the female god of war in North Vietnam was too powerful. The army of North Vietnam became fanatical under the leadership of this goddess of war, this goddess of war is like the god of the North Vietnamese Dynasty, the belief of all armies, as long as this goddess of war gives an order, all the sergeants will die generously like moths to a fire.
It's not that the Great Zhou army is not strong enough, it's not that the equipment of the Great Zhou army is not good enough. In fact, the comprehensive national strength and armament logistics of the Great Zhou are much stronger than those of North Vietnam, and the commanders here are not wastes, but veterans who have fought for many years.
The North Vietnamese goddess of war is like a needle that sets the sea, as long as she is in North Vietnam for a day, Da Zhou does not kill all the North Vietnamese troops, it will be difficult to destroy North Vietnam.
The war in the north could not be stopped for a short time, and when it came to this point, it was impossible to stop like this. Most of the army and resources of the Great Zhou are now in the north, and if there is a war with Southern Chu again, it will inevitably make the Great Zhou very difficult, in case the Western Jin or Eastern Qi join in, the Great Zhou may lose the country.
Since you can't fight, you can't lose face. As the overlord of Eastern Shenzhou, he was invaded by an army of Southern Chu, and burned and looted all the way, looted so many cities, and killed so many people, if the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't do something, the face and majesty of the Great Zhou would be lost, and there would be no way to explain to the people of the Great Zhou.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an order, and the army of the Central Military Region guarding the holy capital mobilized 300,000 troops and rushed towards Bei'an City as quickly as possible, and at the same time, a large number of grandmasters were mobilized over. There were also troops from nearby cities that gathered there, putting on a posture of attacking Southern Chu.
On the other side, the Great Zhou sent a prince to arrive in Chujing by flight, bringing the will of the Great Zhou Emperor. If this matter is not explained to Da Zhou, Da Zhou's million-strong army will go south, and he will not give up until the destruction of Southern Chu.
Mi Xiong couldn't get out of bed, so he asked the prince to meet the prince. The prince turned around and told Mi Xiong about this, and Mi Xiong fell into deep thought, he did not express his attitude, but asked the prince to convene a court meeting on his behalf and listen to the opinions of the ministers in the court.
The opinions in the court are always the same, some are opposed, some are in favor, some are neutral, and some are left and right, playing a round......
Ram Qiu is the core of the opposition, thinking that Da Zhou is just a show and will never go to war, so he resolutely opposes compensation and peace and the like. Zhu Gui said that it doesn't matter if he asks for peace, he pays all the price, and the most important thing now is to be stable. Sima Yue was neutral and did not express any opinions.
The reason why Zhu Gui asked for peace is very easy to understand!
Today, Mi Xiong asked the prince to hold a court meeting on his behalf, which is a very good signal. Naturally, he couldn't miss it, which shows that Mi Xiong is inclined to let the crown prince ascend the throne. Although the crown prince has not been liked by the bear over the years, and has done one or two stupid things, the prince is the prince, occupies the legal system and righteousness, and is the legitimate heir.
Mi Xiong wants the imperial power to be smooth and excessive, and it is the best choice to let the crown prince ascend the throne, and only when the crown prince ascends the throne will there not be too much turmoil. If the crown prince is abolished now and the rest of the princes are chosen as princes, it is very likely that the situation will not be controlled.
So Zhu Gui naturally asked for peace, he didn't want any big mess now, everything was stable. Paying some price is nothing compared to the crown prince's accession to the throne. Only when the crown prince ascends the throne can he continue to become a giant, and when the rest of the princes take the throne, he is bound to be purged, and his life may not be guaranteed.
The prince relayed the results of the court's deliberations to Mi Xiong, but Mi Xiong did not make a decision, but asked Zou Hui to tell Ye Xiangfo and ask Ye Xiangfo's opinion.
Ye Xiangfo is now the first person in the army, with unparalleled prestige, and the first person under the bear. Mi Xiong had to ask Ye Xiangfo's opinion more, otherwise if Ye Xiangfo was angry because of this matter, it might lead to instability in the military world.
Ye Xiangfo came to his opinion on the third day, he thought that the Great Zhou would not dare to fight, otherwise the Great Zhou would not send envoys with the habits of the Great Zhou, and would directly start a war. It's okay to apologize, but you can't hand over the generals of the Tiger Roaring Army, otherwise it will make the army and the people unstable, and now the Tiger Roaring Army is very famous in Southern Chu, and if you hand over the generals of the Tiger Roaring Army, it will inevitably cause a very big impact.
After receiving Ye Xiangfo's reply, Mi Xiong was silent, he pondered for an hour, and asked the prince to come forward and take Zhu Gui and a few other ministers to negotiate and negotiate.
He gave the bottom line, it's okay to apologize, but you can't cut the land, you can't hand over the generals of the Tiger Roaring Army, and the rest is easy to talk about, it's best to pay some silver or something.
The crown prince took Zhu Gui and several ministers to negotiate, and the prince of the Great Zhou was particularly arrogant, and the lion opened his mouth. Two conditions were proposed, the first was to cede two counties, and the second was to hand over a group of generals such as Xiong Jun, Zhuge Jian, Lu Guanhou, and Princess Yunfei to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if they did not agree to these two conditions, the Great Zhou would start a war with Southern Chu.
The crown prince and Zhu Gui are naturally easy to talk about, but the prince of Da Zhou is very domineering, and he directly threw him back to the Sifang Pavilion and didn't talk about it.
This can make the crown prince and Zhu Gui anxious, and if there is really a war, the domestic situation will change again. At that time, it will be very unfavorable for the prince, because the prince does not have many troops under him, on the other hand, the other two princes have the support of Sima Yue and Ram Qiu, two military bigwigs.
Of course, the first person in the military is Ye Xiangfo, and Ye Xiangfo now has a very high prestige in the army, surpassing everyone. Ye Xiangfo gave an order, and it was estimated that the army of Southern Chu would not dare to mess around.
The problem is that Ye Xiangfo will definitely not support the crown prince, nor will he support any prince, he has an old-fashioned personality, and the prince sent someone to secretly send him some gifts before, and all of them were returned.
The Prince of Great Zhou left, and Zhu Gui and the crown prince discussed for a while. In the afternoon, the two went to the Sifang Pavilion to meet Prince Da Zhou. Zhu Guihao said that Chen Xuanhou, the princess of Zhuge Jianlu Guanhou Yunfei, must not move, otherwise the princes' congress will be unstable.
When the prince heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Zhuge Jianyunfei, Princess Lu Guanhou and Chen Xuanhou can't move, in other words - the rest can move?
He was silent for a moment, his face softened slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Prime Minister Zuo, you have all come to the door in person, and this king can't help but give you some face." These four people will not move the king, but Xiong Junning, Wuhou and Ju Wang must be handed over to Da Zhou, otherwise there is no need to talk about it, and the king will return to China early tomorrow morning. ”
"This ......"
The crown prince and Zhu Gui glanced at each other and hesitated. The bottom line given by Mi Xiong is that no one can hand it over, if this is handed over, how can Mi Xiong reply?
It's just that, when it comes to this, the prince's tone is loose, and this is a good opportunity. really angered this prince, he will leave tomorrow morning, with his influence in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the chances of war will be very high.
Zhu Gui confessed and took the prince to the side hall, and the two discussed the time of half a burnt incense, and finally Zhu Gui said: "Let's find a way for these three people, but we have one condition, it is impossible to cut the land, and we can compensate some silver taels." ”
