Chapter 184: Frontline Emergency
The information from the outside is constantly being transmitted to Hwasa.
Before the other princes got the news, they used the flying pigeon to pass the book, but Ning Ze, who was the farthest away, was the first to know about it.
After reporting to Liu Yuanxiang, a meeting was immediately held.
After all, Zhou Jie was suddenly killed, and Wang Yu supported Emperor Shun to take power, and united with Li Xun to besiege Tang Niu, which made people unable to react.
And there was also a big incident in Yuanzhou, Chu Bai and Su Jun were originally united against Ning Ze, who would have thought that Su Jun would be suddenly annexed, and Chu Bai would instantly control Xi and Yuan Erzhou?
Hundreds of officials gathered, and Ning Ze said: "I just got the news, while Tang Niu was leading the troops, Wang Yu designed to kill Zhou Xuan, so that Emperor Shun would regain imperial power and no longer be a puppet." At present, he joined forces with Li Xun to besiege Tang Niu and Zhou Yuan in Bian Zhou. Chu Bai raided Su Jun and occupied the three counties of Yuanzhou, which was even stronger. In a short period of time, the situation outside is amazing!"
When the civil and military officials heard this, they were all shocked.
After all, both things were very unexpected, and no one would have thought that such a powerful Zhou Xuan would end up like this. It is also impossible to imagine that Chu Bai will make a move on his allies and quickly annex the other party.
"What do you think?" asked Liu Yuanxiang, looking around at everyone.
"My lord!" Liang Ling stood up and bowed his hand, and replied respectfully, "Emperor Shun is the same royal family as you, and now with the help of Wang Yu's power to kill Zhou Xuan and regain imperial power, he should write a congratulatory note and send it to Miliang." If he can unite with Emperor Shun, he can solve the dilemma on the front line, and secondly, he can also eliminate Lu Cong and eliminate the enemy. ”
"No!" Liang Hao hurriedly got up, "If Zhou Yi is in power, it can still be united." Although they are both members of the royal family, Emperor Shun was born to Emperor You, and the lord is the first emperor, and there is a dispute over orthodoxy. In the eyes of outsiders, it means that the lord will surrender to Emperor Shun and recognize the position of Emperor Shun. We must not interfere in the affairs of Yunzhou, and should maintain the status quo, neither recognizing Emperor Shun nor Emperor Hui. ”
The civil and military officials below discussed a lot, half of them were in favor of Liang Ling, and the other half were in favor of Liang Hao.
Seeing that the two opinions were deadlocked, Liu Yuanxiang turned to the right: "What is the opinion of the military advisor?"
In an instant, all the civil and military officials quieted down and focused their attention on Ning Ze.
No matter how intense their discussion was, it was actually a matter of Ning Ze's words.
Facing all the eyes, Ning Ze thought about it carefully and said: "Master Liang's words are quite reasonable, and what Liang said is more in line with the current situation. In my opinion, there is really no need to write a congratulatory note to Emperor Shun and invite him to fight against Lu Cong. What's more, Tang Niu will not give up, Wang Yu and Li Xun may not be able to defeat Tang Niu, and the chaos in the west will not be able to subside in a short time. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Emperor Shun to unite with us, let alone let Tang Niu be a big threat, and turn to attack Lu Cong jointly with us. After all, Tang Niu has the title of the world's number one military general! Moreover, our army has fought many battles and encountered locust plagues, and the army is short of food. It is no longer easy to barely maintain the war on the western border, and it is impossible to support a larger campaign. ”
"The view of the military division ......"
"My lord, it's good for us to let them mess up in the west!" Ning Ze said.
Liang Hao was very happy to see that Ning Ze supported his argument, and immediately said: "The military advisor is superior in wisdom and strategy, and he has no last resort, so he really can't unite with Emperor Shun." ”
Although Ning Ze did not support his point of view, he also gave face, and Liang Ling arched his hand and said: "The words of the military advisor are quite reasonable. ”
As a result, civil and military officials expressed their support.
Liu Yuanxiang nodded and continued to ask, "How to deal with Chu Bai's occupation of Yuanzhou?"
Before Ning Ze could speak, a general in the crowd stood up and said, "Lord, Chu Bai is forgetful when he sees a small profit, his person is suspicious and fickle, and he has no room for others. As long as you send someone to spread rumors and divide the generals of Xizhou, there will be civil strife and you will not be able to cause any trouble to our side!"
When Ning Ze heard this, it turned out to be the general Tang Yu, and when he heard this suggestion, he nodded slightly.
Liu Yuanxiang turned to Ning Ze: "What does the military advisor think of General Tang's strategy?"
"This is a wonderful plan!" Ning Ze replied with a smile, "It can be done!"
"Okay!" Liu Yuanxiang had absolute trust in Ning Ze, and immediately said, "Then use General Tang's strategy to separate the generals of Xizhou." Since this policy was proposed by General Tang and entrusted to General Yu to be personally responsible, is there a problem?"
Tang Yu glanced at Ning Ze gratefully, and replied respectfully: "The last general must do his best!"
"My lord!" Liang Ling thought for a moment and said, "Now that the situation is unpredictable, Chu Bai annexes Su Jun regardless of the righteousness of the alliance, and Liang Zhou is bound to worry. Liangzhou Assassin Shi Sun Wei was assigned by Zhou Hydroxy, and now Zhou Hydroxy was killed, Emperor Shun was in power, and Tang Niu was besieged in Bian Zhou. Presumably, Sun Wei is in a dilemma. Xia Guan was willing to go to Liangzhou to persuade Sun Wei to take refuge in the lord. If we can succeed, we will have the land of Liangzhou without much effort, and if we do not succeed, we will have no loss!"
When Liu Yuanxiang heard this, his heart moved.
Liangzhou is not a small place, like Yunzhou, it is a giant state city that also occupies nine counties in the sixteen states of Dacheng.
Yunzhou can have this scale because the imperial capital Miliang is located.
Liangzhou is purely well-developed and has a large enough population, and it is the second most populous state capital among the sixteen states in Dacheng.
The reason why Wang Tong was able to lead Liang Yi and the ant thieves and make the entire Dacheng into pieces was because of the foundation of Liangzhou.
The following are Yiyang, Ning'an, Boping, Jiuhua, Changping, Guangping, Kang, Funing, Shouyang nine counties, with a total population of more than 6 million, very prosperous.
In fact, Zhou Xuan is also very dependent on Liangzhou, otherwise he would not have assigned Sun Wei to control here.
If Liangzhou can be taken, it will be a deterrent to both Lu Cheng and Chu Bai, and at the same time, it can also take advantage of Liangzhou's land of fish and rice to solve the food problem caused by the locust plague in Jinzhou.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned to Ning Ze.
Ning Ze thought about it carefully and felt that the chances of convincing Sun Wei to surrender were very low. Even if Zhou Xuan is destroyed and Sun Wei is swaying, his side will not have much attraction.
If it weren't for Liu Yuanxiang, but Emperor Hui sent someone to persuade him, the chance might be greater. In the final analysis, it is the feudal thinking that determines the lack of influence of Princess Liu Yuanxiang's identity.
Facing Liu Yuanxiang's expectant gaze, Ning Ze replied: "If you can persuade Sun Wei to turn around, it will naturally be the best, but the success rate is very low, and it can almost be ignored!"
"Is this so?" Liu Yuanxiang showed a regretful expression.
"My lord, military advisor!" Liang Ling said with his fists clenched, "If you can try it, even if the probability is low, there is still a chance." If you don't try, it's completely impossible! Xia Guan is willing to go to Liangzhou to persuade Sun Wei in person, regardless of success or failure, do his best!"
"Strategist, what do you think?" Liu Yuanxiang looked at Ning Ze.
"Master Liang has this ambition, but you can try. Ning Ze smiled, "Whether it is successful or not, there is no loss anyway." ”
"Thank you, Advisor!" Liang Ling saluted respectfully.
"Okay!" Liu Yuanxiang nodded, "Since this is the case, please ask Master Liang to go to Liangzhou to persuade Sun Wei." ”
"Whoa!"
......
In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Liu Yuanxiang collected opinions on the recent more important official affairs, and the meeting lasted for a long time.
When the meeting was about to end, a messenger suddenly appeared: "Lord, the front line is urgent!"
The messenger presents a military emergency, and Fluttershy steps forward to take it and hands it to Liu Yuanxiang.
Liu Yuanxiang took it apart and took a look, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly handed it over to Ning Ze: "Military advisor, something is wrong!"
Ning Ze stretched out his hand to take it and took a closer look.
This is written by Wei Yi of Danjun, and the letter urgently reported that Ouyang Chun met Sima Fa's army in Jiyang, and was defeated and had to retreat to Danjun. Sima Fa led his troops to attack Danjun, and won several battles, and the situation in Danjun was critical. In this case, Ouyang Chun actually asked to give up Danjun and retreat to Danhua Pass, the military order was like a mountain, Wei Yi could not disobey the order, he could only comply, and there was no other way except to urgently ask for help.
After reading the content of the letter, Ning Ze was also surprised.
Ouyang Chun is not an ordinary person, that guy has an intelligence of 98 points, which is equivalent to the level of Sima Yi, and he has also shown a powerful strategy before, but he was defeated?
Where is this Sima Fa sacred?
The civil and military officials below were very curious, and Liang Ling stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what is the content of the letter?"
Liu Yuanxiang frowned and said: "Ouyang Chun was defeated in Jiyang County, and he was defeated by Sima Fa several times in Danjun, gave up the city of Danjun, and retreated to Danhua Pass. ”
Liang Ling was shocked when he heard this: "This person has been defeated repeatedly and lost Danjun, how can it be reasonable!"
"My lord," Liang Hao got up and said, "Ouyang Chun should be recalled immediately to ask for the guilt, and another general should be sent to lead the troops to recapture Danjun!"
"The last general is willing to go!" Tang Yu decisively asked for his life.
Behind him, several generals asked for their lives.
The civil officials at the scene blamed Ouyang Chun one after another, and asked Liu Yuanxiang to remove this person from his official position and recall him to Huajun for questioning.
almost one-sidedly blamed Ouyang Chun and held him responsible.
Liu Yuanxiang looked at Ning Ze hesitantly: "Military Division, what do you think about this? The enemy army has captured Dan County, which is quite bad!"
"Strategist, Ouyang Chun has been defeated repeatedly, damaging the prestige of our army, and he should be held accountable!" Liang Ling said loudly.
"The lower officials seconded the proposal!!" the civil and military officials echoed in unison.
Ning Ze closed his eyes and pondered, then opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! Ouyang Chun has lost several battles in a row, there must be a reason. Presumably, this Sima Fa is unusual! However, this letter is Wei Yi's abbreviation, not Ouyang Chun's personal request for help. It shows that he knows it in his own heart. This official felt that Ouyang Chun should be believed. Although he didn't know who Sima Fa was, Ouyang Chun was not a vegetarian, and it was impossible for him to be beaten passively all the time. In my opinion, we should wait and see what happens. If Ouyang Chun is really defeated and returns, he will do it again. At this moment, you should choose to believe him, it is taboo to change generals before the battle!"
Liu Yuanxiang originally had great trust in Ning Ze, and even more so after getting married, so he said: "Since the military advisor said so, this palace is also willing to believe Ouyang Chun." Flying pigeon sent a message to Wei Yi to inform him that he must obey the military order. ”
"Whew!" his men hurriedly wrote.
Although the civil and military officials were worried, Ning Ze set the tone in one sentence, and no one dared to deny it.
This place has become his hall of words, and Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang is almost obedient to him, and no one dares to oppose his opinion.
