Chapter 373: The Rapidly Changing Situation
The death of Emperor Duan caused quite a stir in the world.
According to the instructions before his death, Emperor Duan was buried on the imperial tomb of the Jin Kingdom.
It became the first palace in the world to be built on the ground.
There were very few burial goods, mainly for fear of being stolen on the ground.
The words and deeds of the new emperor soon reached Zhao Changqing's ears.
He smiled and said to Zhuge Liang and the others beside him: "This guy named Changsun Chong should be afraid. ”
Zhuge Liang said worriedly: "To capture Duanguo, you need to be famous, the new emperor of Duanguo will succeed to the throne, and show sincerity towards our country, will the next established strategy need to be continued?"
Zhao Changqing said: "Looking at Duanguo's attitude, I have an immature idea in my heart. ”
Zhuge Liang asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?"
Zhao Changqing said: "You will know then." ”
Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifteenth year of the Taichu calendar.
Duanguo sent an envoy to Wei.
Zhao Changqing personally received him.
In front of the civil and military officials, he signed an alliance with Duanguo.
Previously, Emperor Duan, who had just taken office, unilaterally tore up the agreement between the two countries of Tang and Duan, despite the opposition of his ministers.
Zhao Changqing changed his strategic approach.
Ordered Bai Qi to be the leader of the first legion, the pioneer Li Cunxiao, leading 300,000 troops.
Yue Fei was ordered to be the leader of the Second Army Corps, and the pioneer Huo Quai, led 300,000 troops.
Xiao Yuming was ordered to be the leader of the Second Army Corps, and Xiang Yu, the vanguard, led 300,000 troops.
Cao Cao was ordered to be the grain and grass officer, leading 100,000 troops, responsible for transporting grain and grass to the border of Duanguo and Liangguo.
The three major legions, known as the Million Hero Division, began to declare war on the Liang Kingdom.
The new emperor of Duanguo and the 300,000 horses left behind by Chen Qingzhi reached a consensus and watched every move of Tang State together.
Before the two countries reached an alliance, Zhao Changqing personally wrote a letter to ask the Jinyi Guards to hand over to Emperor Duan.
Like letting them contain the movements of the Tang army for the Wei State.
Wei agreed and gave away half of the Liang Kingdom.
Emperor Duan believed Zhao Changqing's nonsense.
Because even if Zhao Changqing didn't ask Duan Guo for help at the cost of Liang State's territory, Duan Guo would help Wei State, after all, Zhao Changqing gave Duan Guo a full sixty million taels of valuable wealth.
This is equivalent to the sum of the tax revenue of the end country for three years.
The profits were so big that Emperor Duan did not hesitate to offend the Tang State and cooperate with the Wei State.
After all, if the Tang State wanted to attack the Wei State, it would also cross the territory of the Duan State.
At that time, if there is anything unusual about the army of the Tang State, it will be the Duanguo that will suffer.
It's better to make it clear in advance, no matter what the reason, you can't let the army of the Tang State enter the Duan Kingdom.
The main reason why Zhao Changqing did this was to invite Duanguo to take a reassuring pill, if the army of the Tang State really came, it would not be necessary for you to make much effort from the Duanguo, just that you Duanguo should not be in the same stream as the Tang State.
Emperor Duan didn't care so much, what he cared about was his immediate interests.
For the Tang army, he had long told his own army that if he came to attack, let Wei shoot the first arrow, and his army only needed to assist.
If Wei's army can't defeat Tang, when the time comes, Duanguo will be gathering heavy troops to attack.
In the Xuanzheng Palace.
Zhuge Liang was reporting on the preparations of Bai Qi and others.
Zhao Changqing is concentrating on writing.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's report, Zhao Changqing just nodded lightly.
Zhuge Liang said again: "Your Majesty, is the plan you said at the beginning to be Duanguo?"
Zhao Changqing shook his head and said, "My layout methods are so superficial?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty meant."
Zhao Changqing wrote four big characters on a piece of rice paper, 'Three Kingdoms Dingli'.
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized.
Following.
Zhao Changqing came to Xu Jiao's residence.
Xu Jiao was a little curious and asked, "I used to come once a year, why did you come here after only half a year apart?"
Zhao Changqing quipped: "I'm afraid you'll go crazy." ”
Xu Jiao said angrily: "Don't worry, I will definitely kill you before I go crazy." ”
Zhao Changqing sat down in the courtyard where Xu Jiao lived, through the door, and sighed to Xu Jiao in the house: "Alas, it's just a pity, whether you can kill me or not, I don't know, but you Liangguo are destined to be killed by me." ”
Xu Jiao showed a look of anxiety, rushed out of the door, looked at Zhao Changqing, frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhao Changqing got up, stood with his hands in his hands, and said: "I have formed three major legions, a total of millions of heroes, gathered at the door of your Liang Kingdom, as long as I give an order, your Liang Kingdom will be destroyed by me!"
"An army of millions?"
Xu Jiao was timid.
That's an army of millions!
She knows the military power of Liangguo best.
But how many people are there in Liangguo?
Xu Jiao tried to calm down her emotions, asked Zhao Changqing very seriously, and said, "Are you really going to decide to do this?"
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "A gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, not to mention, I am a king." I have already made up my mind to pay attention, this time I will not destroy your Liang Kingdom, and I will not withdraw from the army. ”
Xu Jiao gritted her teeth and said: "You will definitely regret it, as long as you dare to invade the Liang Kingdom by half a step, our Liang Kingdom's army will inevitably make your Wei soldiers suffer!"
Zhao Changqing sneered: "I don't mean anything else when I tell you about this. I just hope that you can know in your heart that if you don't tell the situation of the mysterious forces behind you, I will definitely crusade against Liangguo, but if you say it, I can promise you to make peace with Liangguo. If you still don't want to talk about it, then I will let you stay in Wei for the rest of your life and make you suffer. ”
Xu Jiao palpitated: "You are really a ruthless person. ”
Zhao Changqing said: "If I am not ruthless, the person who ascended the throne back then will not be me." ”
At the beginning of the ninth month of the fifteenth year of the first month.
The army was assembled and launched an attack on Ryokoku.
Xu Fengyun, the emperor of Liangguo, personally drove the expedition in person, and had the attitude of fighting the Wei army to the end.
Zhao Changqing was worried about the wisdom and strategy of Li Yijun, the military division of the Liang State, so he specially sent Jia Xu to the front line to assist the leaders of the three major army corps in the joint battle against the Liang State.
Ryokuni can be described as a spout this time.
Xu Fengyun and Li Yijun pulled all the troops in Luoxia Valley, preparing to face the Wei army.
However, the three-way army of Wei State marched from three different directions, and in order to prevent Wei from taking advantage of it, in desperation, Xu Fengyun and Li Yijun only divided their troops.
This time, they took out all their family resources, a total of 500,000 troops.
Claimed to be 800,000.
Xu Fengyun led 300,000 iron cavalry and was responsible for exterminating the main force of Wei.
And Li Yijun was responsible for resisting the invasion of the Wei army, and the division of labor was clear, so that there was a possibility of victory.
Before Luoxia Valley, Xu Fengyun was ready to pursue Yue Fei's troops, so he sent troops in advance, and when he was leaving, Li Yijun said to him: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei has always been known for his strict management of the army, and His Majesty can never confront him head-on. ”
Xu Fengyun nodded in agreement, and he said: "The military advisor can rest assured, Feng Yun will go here, and the Wei army will be frightened, and he will not dare to invade my Da Liang from now on." ”
Then he set out with his army.
Li Yijun looked at Xu Fengyun's departing back and muttered, "Luoxia Valley, this is not a good sign!"
