Chapter 118: Rebellion
Beizhou, at this time the heavy snow has not dissipated, and Beizhou has been rumored, the officials of the three divisions of Beizhou have been completely monitored, and compared with Nanzhou, the power of the king of Pingliao in Beizhou is greater, because Nanzhou is facing a scattered southern wilderness, and Beizhou is facing a huge Liao country.
The territory of the Liao State is larger than that of the Great Wei, with an area of thousands of miles, but there are a large number of deserts in their territory, and the winters are long, so they are not very suitable for human life, but they are extremely coveted by the rich Great Wei.
The former dynasty Daxuan and the Liao State fought for 20 years, each other won and lost, although the overall Daxuan won, but the Liao State was still extremely stable, until the immortals came to the east, the Daxuan was destroyed, and the Liao State learned a lesson, early to take refuge in the Xianmen.
It's just that the Xianmen of the Great Liao and the Xianmen of the Great Wei are not one, after the establishment of the Great Wei, the border was redivided, for more than 60 years, although the Liao State has repeatedly violated the border, but there is no large-scale military action, they are all small-scale conflicts, but the Great Wei is not careless, and still stationed heavy troops here.
After the king of Zhennan was assassinated, the king of Pingliao disappeared into the city of Beizhou, no matter whether it was the third division or anyone, he could not see the king of Pingliao, and when someone visited, he lied that he was sick.
However, it was impossible for the king of Pingliao to sit still, and he soon showed his fangs, taking advantage of the heavy winter snow, blocking road traffic, withholding last year's taxes, and even secretly expanding his army.
"Lord Wang, the news of Yongdu City, our officials, merchants, masters and disciples of Wenxian Pavilion in Yongdu City have all been targeted by the imperial court, officials have been impeached, merchants have been arrested, masters have been transferred from their lucrative posts, and disciples have been isolated"
"The Li family is going to tear his face, is there a way for our people to break through"
"It's hard to say, the letter only said that they would join forces with the other two families to escape, Lord Wang, let's go wrong, we have guarded the north gate for the Li family in Beizhou all these years, and they are not happy, why?"
The general replied that the bitter cold land of Beizhou was extremely cold in winter and sparsely populated, and they did not feel that they were enjoying the glory and wealth here, but the imperial court was still suspicious of them, which made them extremely angry.
"Go and call the envoy of Liao"
"Yes, Lord Wang"
The generals are overjoyed, the Liao State has been infiltrating Beizhou, and has been in contact with the King of Pingliao, the King of Pingliao and the Liao State are not refusing or agreeing, very ambiguous, and in private they are trading with each other, and there have always been caravans.
Soon, a middle-aged man came to the study of King Pingliao and said, "Foreign Minister Tie Jiaer meets the prince"
"Excuse me, I met you today because I wanted to talk to you about Beizhou's belonging to Liao."
"Ah, lord, you..."
Tie Jia'er was instantly filled with surprises, he had contacted King Pingliao many times before, he was vague, how could he be so refreshing this time.
"What, you're not welcome?"
"Welcome, naturally welcome, I said on the Great Liao Sage, as long as the prince is willing to join the Great Liao, he is still the prince, and he can allow the prince to land in three states, and the Great Liao can issue a clear decree, and future generations will never cut the domain, and the prince will always be the prince."
"Yes, but let's talk about this later, you immediately send a message back to Liao, let the soldiers and horses of Liaoguo assemble, prepare to go south, and when the time comes, I will let go of the southern part of Beizhou, let you go straight in, have the ability, go to Yongzhou in one go, if you don't have the ability, eat Tongzhou next to Beizhou first"
"This..."
"You just send the message back, presumably your emperor will decide"
King Pingliao replied that unlike Great Wei, the Xianmen of Great Liao and Great Xia both hoped that the two countries would expand, because the resources of the two countries were very scarce, and compared with the Great Wei, the two countries together were less than half of the Great Wei, which made the Xianmen continue to support the expansion of the two countries, and they have also been expanding for decades, but the direction is not the Great Wei.
And this plan proposed by the King of Pingliao, the Liao side must agree, because Tongzhou in the south of Beizhou is the key to entering the customs, and after Tongzhou is laid, whether the Liao army goes south to attack Yongzhou, or makes a detour to directly attack the hinterland of Great Wei, everyone wants this kind of strategic place.
·······
Xiliang Prefecture, the king of Xiliang also received the news of Yongdu City at this time, and immediately scolded the Li family, thinking that back then, the status of the Lin family, the king of Xiliang, was much higher than that of the Li family, and he was really a commander with heavy troops, and they condescended to the Li family as a prince and never thought of rebelling, but the Li family still dealt with them like this.
"Lord Wang, since the Li family is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust, on the contrary"
"On the contrary, Lord Wang, why can the Li family be the emperor, our Lin family is no worse than them"
"Yes, Lord Wang, there are also people from our Lin clan who have entered the inner gate of the Xianmen, kill the Li family, and we will be the emperor"
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, unparalleled in the world, directly from Yongzhou, hit under the Yongdu City, see what else he Li has to say"
"Lord..."
The generals of Xiliang are also angry, the businesses confiscated by Yongdu City are all their share, they have a hard time in Xiliang, and they need to rely on the business to transport materials, if they don't rebel, once the Li family blockades Xiliang, they will be self-defeating.
"Hayashi no Shin"
"The Last Will Be"
"Gather the horse bandits in the wilderness, let them enter the customs and plunder, as for us, gather the soldiers, horses, food and grass, and then look at the atmosphere"
After the king of Xiliang finished scolding, he didn't act recklessly, if he turned against and the other two didn't, it would be bad, so he decided to try the water first.
In the wilderness outside Xiliang Prefecture, there are a large number of horse bandits, the small ones are a few people, and the big ones are thousands of people, but if you talk about the ranking, the top ten horse bandits are all from his Xiliang Palace, not their horse bandits, and they have long been wiped out.
As long as he gives an order, he can immediately gather tens of thousands of horse bandits, if these horse bandits fight with the regular army, they will definitely not work, but if they let them harass the place and loot, they are very good, as long as they open their mouths and let the horse bandits rush through Xiliangzhou, it is estimated that a single Yongzhou will not be able to hold on.
·····
Nanzhou, Zhennan Wangfu, now Zhennan Wangfu is dominated by three people, one is the princess of Zhennan Wang, one is Yu Zhaohua and the other is Yu Zhaoyuan.
But now on the surface, the princess is still in charge, and the old ministers of the Zhennan Wang's lineage all support the princess, because the two princes have not yet competed for the throne, and it is extremely irrational for them to rashly stand in line, so for the sake of safety, they directly recommended the princess to come out to deal with things.
"Yongdu City has attacked the three kings with different surnames, and the other two will definitely not sit idly by, do you think it's time to raise troops?"
"Queen Mother, I think it's time to raise troops, our King Zhennan is the weakest compared to the other two kings, and now the court has cut us again, if we don't have troops anymore, we won't have a chance."
"I agree with the eldest brother's opinion, the court is unwise to attack the other two kings with different surnames, if there are no more soldiers, they come to their senses, appease them, and deal with us alone, then we will suffer"
"What do you think?"
The princess looked at the other courtiers again, and the other courtiers also nodded, they and the king of Zhennan were both prosperous and prosperous, and they were both lost, and they had no choice but to run, so they must fully support them.
"Okay, since that's the case, then raise troops, Zhaohua, Zhaoyuan, who of you is the general"
"I nominate my eldest brother as a general"
"I think Zhaoyuan is more suitable"
"Yu Jackie Chan, what do you think?"
The princess was very helpless, her two sons were excellent, and she no longer knew who to appoint as the new king.
"Two sons, at this time, I think you should unite and cooperate, if we ourselves have civil strife first, then we will definitely lose, it is better for you to make an agreement, if it is done, share the world, this world is very big, and it can accommodate two courts"
Yu Chenglong said stubbornly, they don't know who to support, the key is that the princess is hesitant, which makes them very embarrassed.
"What does the big brother think?"
"I think it's okay to take two states, we will divide each state, and four states, we will divide each into two states, and we will become brotherly states in the future."
"Okay, since that's the case, it's better to take the eldest brother as the general, and ascend the throne as the king"
Yu Zhaoyuan nodded, his adviser had already told him that if he was still fighting for the position at this time, then he would look for death, it was better to cooperate first, and wait until the territory was laid, no matter how he fought at that time, it would be fine.
"Okay, thank you Zhaoyuan, I swear by Zhaohua here, I will never live up to Zhaoyuan in the future, the first thing I do when I ascend the throne is to issue an edict, and share the world with Zhaoyuan in the future"
Yu Zhaohua also immediately stated that it would be a matter for the future whether he would regret it or not, but now, let's talk about it first.
"Brothers work together, its profits are broken, we already have a three-point chance of winning, eldest prince, what next, please command"
"Sect Chief Yu, immediately after the meeting, you will mobilize the Pingban army, cut off the traffic first, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave Nanzhou."
"Yes, Princess"
"Zhaoyuan, you take people to settle the three divisions, clean up the officials of the imperial court, don't kill them first, arrest them, maybe they can be used to exchange prisoners in the future"
"Yes, big brother"
"In addition, you go and contact the tribes of the Southern Wilderness and invite them to send troops together, the conditions can be more lenient, and it is the right thing to overthrow the Great Wei first."
"Big brother, the Wumeng Department has changed drastically, they have been conquered by those remnants of the previous dynasty, and the person in charge now is called Chen Chengyuan, who is the king of the south of the former dynasty, and has a deep hatred with us"
"Chen Chengyuan?"
When Yu Zhaohua heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, how could it be him?
"Big brother, do you know Chen Chengyuan?"
"I know, this person was the shopkeeper of Wansheng Building in Yongdu City before"
"Ahh
"Big boy, will you admit your mistake?"
"No, not only did I meet him, but he also confessed his identity to me, so I wondered how they did it"
"The eldest prince, what is the personality of this person?"
"The ambition is great, the city is also deep, and it is Junjie"
"Since it is Junjie, it will be easy to do, the eldest prince can repair a book, please send troops with Chen Chengyuan, even if he doesn't agree, you have to know the benefits to him, his biggest enemy is the Li clan of Dawei, not our Yu clan, as long as he doesn't make trouble behind his back, this matter will be completed, and we will not have worries"
Yu Chenglong said, Junjie is a smart person, a smart person will think a lot of things, then he can be reasonable, on the contrary, if he is a reckless man, it is terrible and unreasonable.
