Chapter 278: Return to Great Xia, Changes in Liaodong (Happy New Year!)
Just when Gu Fengqing embarked on the journey back to Great Xia, at this time in Great Xia, it was already surging.
Zhu Yongchang, the king of Wuwei County, was ordered by today to go to conquer the coalition forces of the Western Regions, and said that he would solve the trouble of the Western Regions within three months.
Zhu Yongchang has worked hard for many years, and his reputation is outside, and he will not dare to usurp the throne if he does not necessarily grasp the plan, so if he wants to go further, he must be justified.
In order to draw out Zhu Yongchang's hole card, Gu Fengqing tempted Zhu Yongchang as the king of the county and gave Zhu Yongchang the name of righteousness.
So Zhu Yongchang will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
In fact, Zhu Yongchang did work hard for this, and soon gathered heavy troops under his command, and all kinds of hole cards were played, wanting to quickly calm down the Western Regions.
At the beginning, Zhu Yongchang was indeed powerful in the Western Regions, and in just half a month, he connected the nine countries of the Western Regions, and Qiuzi was even more hopeful.
I thought that I would be able to take it soon, but who knew that Shi Guanyin in the Western Regions was not an ordinary person, and he gathered his living forces to retreat again and again, and finally retreated to the land of Wusun, relying on Dawan, Kangju and Zhu Yongchang to separate and confront each other, and for a while it was impossible to take it.
Seeing that the March period was about to pass, Zhu Yongchang was naturally very anxious, taking advantage of the fact that Gu Fengqing was no longer in the capital, he sent several letters to Shuntianfu, and finally won the March period again.
Of course, the reason why he was able to win another three months was not because someone in the court took advantage of Gu Fengqing's absence and fell to Zhu Yongchang, but actually because Gu Fengqing had already communicated privately with Li Qi to delay Zhu Yongchang's time in the Western Regions as much as possible.
In other words, Zhu Yongchang was able to send a letter hoping that the imperial court would give him more time, which was actually in line with Gu Fengqing's wishes.
Li Qi thinks that Gu Fengqing's lackeys are his lackeys, how can there be any reason not to agree?!
And after this incident, Zhu Yongchang also faintly sensed Gu Fengqing's thoughts.
Dunhuang, the camp of the west.
Zhu Yongchang sat in the position of the coach, looking at the news sent from the Jingshi of Shuntian Mansion, and couldn't help but look uncertain.
The four secret agents and their masters are lined up on both sides.
"Lord Wang, what happened?"
Looking at Zhu Yongchang's face, Yu Xinci couldn't help but ask.
"This is a message from Jingshi, you can circulate it to each other!"
Zhu Yongchang did not answer, but handed the letter in his hand to Yu Xinci, and sat on the throne himself, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yu Xinci read it carefully and said in surprise: "This letter says that the Jingshi has agreed to your request and promised to give another three months, and the envoy sent by the Shuntian Mansion is already on the way, and will arrive in a few days...... There's nothing wrong with that!"
As she spoke, she handed the letter to the people next to her and told them to circulate it separately.
"At first glance, it's normal, but when you think about it......"
Zhu Yongchang opened his eyes and said softly: "Now that Gu Fengqing is no longer in Beijing, and Li Qi, the first auxiliary minister of the Shuntian Mansion, is his lackey, how can this person agree to give us another three months?"
"In other words, he must have been instructed by Gu Fengqing, so he will agree to our request!"
"It's all here!"
"This king and that Gu Fengqing are enemies, but this surnamed Gu will let this king solve the disaster of the Western Regions within three months, and once it is successful, he will be able to seal the king of the county, add nine pearls, and open the mansion...... We couldn't do it in three months, and he actually gave this king another three months of grace......!
"Gu Fengqing deliberately wanted to give this king such a big gift!"
"What the hell is he thinking?!, or what does he mean by doing this?!"
Zhu Yongchang was puzzled.
Listening to Zhu Yongchang's words, Yu Xinci also showed a dignified expression.
As the prince said, what did Gu Fengqing want to do by doing this?
first gave the prince a big gift, and then the period of March was not enough, so it was a grace period of March!
They're enemies!
And Gu Fengqing's actions, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is helping the prince!
Could it be that Gu Fengqing planned to shake hands and make peace, so he deliberately flattered him?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Yu Xinci dispelled it himself.
How is this possible!
Based on their understanding of Gu Fengqing, this person is clearly lawless and does not take everyone seriously.
And both Zhu Yongchang and Gu Fengqing know that the two of them have reached the point of not dying, and one of the two will inevitably decide a winner!
Of the two, only one of them will have the last laugh!
The two of them, there is absolutely no possibility of shaking hands and making peace!
Gu Fengqing would never have been unaware of this!
But he did it anyway!
Why the hell is that?!
"This Lord Gu has just sent the prince out of the capital, and he himself has led three thousand sword guards out of Beijing, and now Gu Fengqing has still not returned to Beijing, and the prince has also been dragged in the Western Regions......"
Yu Xinci frowned and analyzed, her face suddenly changed, and she thought of a possibility.
"Lord Wang...... This Lord Gu has done so many things, and even does not hesitate to give you a big gift, does he deliberately want to drag you in the Western Regions and not return to Beijing?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yongchang also frowned suddenly.
He didn't speak, but closed his eyes again, narrowing slightly, as if thinking about something.
Zhu Yongchang didn't speak, and others naturally didn't dare to speak.
There was silence in the whole tent.
I don't know how long it took for Zhu Yongchang to open his eyes.
He looked at Yu Xinci and said, "What did you say...... It's also a possibility!"
"But the only thing I don't understand now is why he didn't let this king return to Beijing?!"
Yu Xinci said: "No matter why, the prince must not let him get his wish!"
"This person is scheming, if you are transferred from the capital, you will definitely have a calculation in private, and the prince should also prepare early!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yongchang did not express his position this time, but just left a sentence: "This king will consider it carefully." β
Then he waved his hand and let the people out.
Seeing this, the four secret agents and others saluted one after another, and then walked out of the tent.
Lifting the big tent, Yu Xinci and the four of them walked outside, Li Jiansheng couldn't help but glance back at the handsome tent, frowned and said, "I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel like it's ...... Something is wrong with the prince. β
"Be careful!"
Yu Xinci said in a low voice: "Jian Sheng, you can't talk nonsense about this. β
After saying that, she couldn't help but glance at the direction of the handsome tent.
There was one sentence she didn't say-
In fact, she also felt that the prince's recent state was very small.
In this expedition to the Western Regions, there are many unfamiliar faces under the command of the prince, and all of them are strong in martial arts, and I don't know where they all came from.
As the prince's confidant, she had never heard the prince talk about it before.
Of course, as a prince, it's normal to have some hole cards that she doesn't know, it's just ......
"Xinci, what method do you think the prince will use to organize Lord Gu's calculations?"
Dao Wuxin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke at this moment.
......
Zhu Yongchang sat alone in the handsome tent, his face was neither happy nor sad, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although he still didn't know what Gu Fengqing meant by giving him such a big gift, he could already be sure-
Gu Fengqing just planned to transfer him out of the capital!
He didn't know what the meaning of Gu Fengqing's move was, but he knew it very well...... Gu Fengqing must not be allowed to get her wish!
But he can't return to the capital now, so after thinking about it, he can only find something to do for Gu Fengqing from other aspects.
Let him take care of himself!
As soon as he thought about it, Zhu Yongchang gradually made a decision in his heart.
In the evening of the same day, in the camp of Zhengxi, dozens of fast horses left the camp, and then along Shuji, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei, until they reached Shuofang and Yunzhong County, and went straight to the land of Liaodong.
......
In this world where heroes rise together and heroes emerge in large numbers, the land of Liaodong in Great Xia has become unstable since the Demon Sect knocked on the Central Plains of Cholera decades ago.
As the situation in the Kingdom became more and more turbulent and erosive, the situation in the land of Great Xia in Liaodong also deteriorated.
What's more critical is that in the midst of this turmoil, the Jurchens of Jianzhou rose again, and under the large-scale knocking 20 years ago, they actually broke through all the way and occupied the sixteen states of Youyun.
At this point, the Jurchens could no longer be contained, and became a confidant of Great Xia.
Not long ago, the Jurchens were based on the sixteen states of Youyun, and officially changed the name of Yuan to the emperor, and the country name was Jin.
The first thing he did after Yan Agu became emperor was to personally lead 100,000 iron cavalry to attack Goryeo, so as to worry about the future of going south to attack Daxia.
The result of this battle caused an uproar among the border troops and the court of Great Xia.
The army of 100,000 crossed the river in only 20 days and drove straight down to the capital of Goryeo!
Goryeo has always been a subject state of Great Xia, although it was defeated by the Jurchens many times before the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, and even signed an alliance under the city because of this, but Goryeo once secretly helped Bactria fight against the Jurchens.
Now that Wanyan Aguda has ascended the throne and become the emperor, Goryeo is even more united under the panic, and the monarchs and ministers are struggling to resist, but they are easily defeated!
After the news of this incident came out, the government and the opposition in Great Xia were even more surprised.
There was even a doubt about the authenticity of the news at one point.
After all, the strategic significance of Goryeo to Daxia is too important!
As soon as Goryeo was defeated, the last vassal state of Great Xia in the rear was also gone, and Wanyan Aguta had no worries from then on!
Although worried, the Great Xia Dynasty thought that after the destruction of Goryeo, the Jin Kingdom would definitely recuperate for a while anyway.
After all, Goryeo had just been destroyed, and no matter what, the Jin Kingdom had to spare energy to suppress the rebellion, which undoubtedly gave Daxia some respite.
It allows them to calmly discuss countermeasures.
But what I never expected was that just now, a few fast horses entered Beijing, and then brought an amazing news-
Jin Guo is mobilizing troops and preparing to go south!
Everyone was stunned!
All the important ministers and high-ranking officials in Great Xia can't imagine it-
Why is Jin Guo so anxious?
It's not clear, but everyone understands it.
This time, after Yan Agu solved Goryeo, there will be no worries from now on, and this time the whole country will inevitably attack the whole country when he goes south!
And Great Xia ......
And how to deal with it?!
Shuntianfu fell into a quarrel.
Weihai Port.
Today's Weihai Port is still just a small port.
Although Bactria was not forbidden by sea, both the merchant ships and the caravans from overseas countries all stopped at Songjiang Prefecture and the coastal counties further south.
Because Weihai Port paid more attention to the north and even Goryeo, Dongying and other places, there were originally fewer ships, coupled with the fall of Goryeo, Dongying civil strife, so that it was even more depressed.
In recent years, there have been very few foreign ships docking.
But even so, because of Weihai Port, there is also a small city nearby, and the people in the city are all born by the sea.
It was morning, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the streets, but not too many, and the vendors on both sides of the street were selling weakly.
At this moment, dozens of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists suddenly came straight up.
Their appearance immediately stunned everyone.
Immediately afterwards, the pedestrians on the street retreated subconsciously, not daring to block the way forward of Jinyiwei.
With the destruction of the second factory and cabinet of the East and West by Jinyiwei, overwhelming the first floor of the world, Jinyiwei is becoming more and more powerful, and the world's generals, families, wealthy businessmen, and scholars are all proud to join Jinyiwei.
The prestige of the people is getting higher and higher, even more than when the Great Xia was founded.
However, compared to the time of the founding of the country, although the prestige of Jinyiwei at this time was even greater, his reputation was relatively better.
At the very least, under Gu Fengqing's emphasis, Jin Yiwei has rarely heard of the oppression of the good and the framing of the good.
Unless you take the initiative to provoke and provoke Jinyiwei, this will either destroy the door or break the family.
Under normal circumstances, Jinyiwei is too lazy to care about the ordinary people.
But even so, for ordinary people, Jinyiwei is by no means a good person, and they dare not get close to him - of course, if someone in the family works as an errand in Jinyiwei, it is another matter.
At this moment, the people who pushed away watched the dozens of brocade guards hurrying past, heading straight in the direction of Weihai Port, and couldn't help but discuss.
"Jinyiwei, why did they show up?"
"Look at the leader, isn't this Zhang Baihu of our Weihai Port Jinyi Wei Baihu? Even he came forward in person!"
"Zhang Baihu has been cultivating in Baihu all the time, why did he come out today?"
"Could it be that some big man is here in Weihai?!"
"What other big man is worthy of Zhang Baihu to come forward in person? Now that Jinyiwei is so powerful, even if the county guard comes, I'm afraid it's not worth his personal dispatch!"
"Hey, so many brocade guards come out, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
With the sound of chatter and gasps, the brocade guards gradually disappeared from their sight.
For ordinary people, they will certainly be shocked by the dispatch of Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei is still too far away from them after all.
No matter what big things happen, there is always a tall person on top of it, and they ......
You always have to work hard to get by, don't you?
Although they didn't take it very seriously, some timid and fearful people hurried home after finishing their errands, and decided to stay closed for the next period of time.
Weihai Port.
Zhang Baihu stood at the port with his Jinyi guards, waiting quietly.
"Lord Baihu, who are we waiting for standing here?"
One of his cronies approached and asked in a low voice.
He looked at the battleβ
There are a whole hundred households, except for those who can't come back except for the mission, basically everyone is here, which can be said to be pouring out.
This kind of thing has never happened since the construction of their Weihai Port 100 households.
Could it be that the people of the Jin Kingdom planned to move troops, and the army took a boat from Goryeo, planning to march from Weihai?
It shouldn't be!
And if this is the case, even with their dozens of brocade guards, they can't stop the army of the Jin Kingdom!
This person's doubts are also the doubts of all the Jinyi guards in the entire Weihai Hundred Households.
However, in the face of the inquiry, Zhang Baihu did not say a word, his eyes were staring at the sea tightly, and his eyes did not dare to move.
It seems that something is waiting for you.
Zhang Baihu didn't speak, and the people under his command naturally didn't dare to ask more.
In the entire Weihai Port, dozens of brocade guards lined up neatly, each handing the handle of the embroidered spring knife, standing against the sea breeze, a solemn scene.
Next to it, there were still a lot of laborers in the port mixing goods, or drying sea salt, which was in full swing.
But when this group of brocade guards came, they didn't dare to speak, so they could only work carefully with their heads down.
For a while, the Weihai harbor was silent, only the whistling of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Baihu, who had never spoken, suddenly showed an excited look on his face: "It's here!"
Here it comes?
What's coming?
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, but saw that a small black dot appeared on the sea, followed by dozens of small black dots.
Those dozens of small black dots are slowly heading towards the shore!
As they drove, they finally saw clearly!
It turned out to be dozens of huge treasure ships!
This scene immediately shocked everyone!
"So many ships? Zhang Baihu...... Could this be Jin, the army of the Kingdom of Jin is coming?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baihu shook his head and smiled: "Of course not!"
"It's ......"
"Our Jinyi Guard commands Master Gu to come!"
Although the voice was soft, anyone could hear it, and there was a hint of excitement and nervousness in the words.
And......
A hint of impatience!
As for the dozens of brocade guards under his command, they were all stunned after hearing Zhang Baihu's words.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Master Gu here?
This man who is like a god in the hearts of all the brocade guards...... Coming to them?!
Everyone couldn't hide the excitement and excitement in their hearts, and a pair of eyes stared at the sea tightly, staring at the dozens of treasure ships that were slowly approaching!
......
Half an hour later, thirty-three treasure ships docked.
A black-clothed sword guard came down from the top, each dressed in a black flying fish suit, wearing an embroidered spring knife at his waist, his face was solemn, and his body was sharp.
There were so many black-clothed sword guards, so that all the brocade guards waiting in the port were shocked, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look at them secretly.
In his eyes, there is a look of envy!
Black-clothed sword guards!
This is a black-clad sword guard!
There are nearly 200,000 Jinyi guards in the entire Great Xia, but there are only 3,000 black-clothed sword guards!
Every brocade guard wants to be selected and become a member of the black-clothed sword guard!
This is not only because the black-clothed sword guards are all positive seven products in the Jinyi Wei sequence, and they enjoy the treatment of hundreds of households, but also because of the ......
Once you become a black-clothed sword guard, it will be a supreme honor!
The honor of being awed and envied by hundreds of people in Daxia 200,000 brocade clothes!
Zhang Baihu also showed envy, but he quickly came back to his senses, pulled a group of subordinates under his command who had not yet returned to his senses, and hurriedly walked towards the vicinity of the port.
When he arrived, he happened to see a group of people disembarking with a young man dressed in a Xuanjin flying fish suit.
Seeing this person, Zhang Baihu suddenly showed excitement, and then quickly knelt on the ground:
"Zhang Ruo, one hundred households in Weihai Harbor, has seen the commander!"
......
......
