Chapter 694: Central Plains Forces
Dugu Xingyue said: "Xianggong doesn't have to blame himself, man...... As long as you are in good health, it is the greatest reward for us, and everything else is a small thing. ”
Dugu Xingyue said it very vaguely, but everyone understood the meaning. As long as Zongxin behaves well in bed, a woman can do nothing, and even be willing to stick upside down...... Dugu Xingyue was posted upside down.
Zongxin has been away from the Central Plains for some time, and the time that Zongxin has left is the quietest and most peaceful day in the entire Central Plains. Guo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty tends to develop the economy and people's livelihood, although Guo Wei is a military general, he actually doesn't want to fight, because he was born recklessly, he knows best that no matter whether he wins or loses in a war, only the people will suffer in the end.
Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty did not dare to fight in a short time, but Liu Chong was very hopeful to raise troops to attack the Great Zhou and seize the Han Dynasty. It's rare for Zongxin to leave the Central Plains, everyone knows about it, Zongxin re-walked the Silk Road, and he will not return to the Central Plains in a short time. It would be great if he could take advantage of the time when Zong Xin was away to capture the Great Zhou.
But unfortunately, the First Battle of Weizhou made the economy of the Northern Han Dynasty worse, so Liu Chong had long been attached to the Khitan and called him the nephew emperor, hoping that the Khitan emperor could send troops to help them recover the lost land. But Liu Chong is the kind of cautious person, he is not at ease when there are more soldiers, and he can't beat the Hou Zhou army when there are few...... It's been tangled.
Li Jing was completely empty because of the war treasury in Xuzhou, and he couldn't even distribute the officials' salaries. In desperation, there was only an armistice, allowing the country to store money. Anyway, the people of the Tang Dynasty are rich, as long as the tax is slightly increased, the treasury will have a lot of silver for Li Jing to squander in a few years.
This is the first time that Li Jing has stopped fighting since he ascended the throne, and at other times Li Jing has been fighting, and he likes to fight in person. This is also to keep the army in his hands, only to fight the army needs the army, if not to fight, the power of the army must be handed over to others for temporary care. But after these military powers are handed over, it is not easy to get them back, because others will also go to war, and it is impossible to transfer troops back to Li Jing during the war, as long as there is this excuse, even if they are not really fighting, they can not return the troops to Li Jing.
Li Jing knew very well in his heart that no matter who these troops were in, he had to keep these soldiers and use the money from the treasury. Let these soldiers show off their might in the hands of others, it is better to drag them in their own hands.
Since Yelujing ascended the throne, the development of the Khitan has almost stopped, Yelujing has completely expanded, and even Yeluzhen does not give face after becoming the emperor. In fact, Yelu Jing is not too incompetent, he wants to fight, and he wants to directly send troops to attack Cangzhou. But it is pointless to attack Cangzhou, even if Cangzhou is breached, they do not have enough strength to take the entire Central Plains, so Yeluzhen and Empress Dowager Xiao have been doing their best to prevent this matter.
Now the person who really holds the power is the Empress Dowager Xiao, and Yelujing does not have much real power in her hands. Because of this, I was depressed and drank and had fun all day long, regardless of the government. Unless Empress Dowager Xiao is willing to send a large army to attack Cangzhou and take the Central Plains directly, Yelujing will not go to court.
How could Empress Dowager Xiao be so stupid, it was a big deal that there was one less person to speak, she would never let the Khitan warriors die in vain. The Khitan strategy has always been to suppress Cangzhou, only to make a tentative attack, and it is impossible to send a large army to attack the city. Because such casualties would be too heavy. If Guo Wei counterattacks, it may even be possible to fight back, and then the Khitan will collapse.
Empress Dowager Xiao is afraid of Guo Wei, and she is even more afraid of Zong Xin. This situation also existed in Yeluzhen, who was very curious about why Zongxin wanted to retake the Silk Road, and he was afraid that this was Zongxin's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, so he also prevented the army from attacking. Moreover, the Khitan, which has just been integrated now, does not have enough strength in the first place, and must develop well and make people desirable, only in this way can the world be unified.
As a result, Yelu Jing didn't understand Yeluzhen's deep meaning, he thought that he could do whatever he wanted after becoming the emperor, but when he became the emperor, he found that there were so many restrictions. Because of the pressure from the Empress Dowager Xiao, Yelujing broke the jar and broke it, anyway, with the Empress Dowager Xiao and Yeluzhen handling the government, he didn't care about anything.
The Khitan temporarily stopped developing because of this loser, and even began to regress. Yeluzhen only began to regret it at this time, if Yeluruan was allowed to continue to be the emperor, and according to Yeluruan's methods, it might not take long to unify the world.
Yelu really didn't expect Yelujing to be so useless, so he couldn't do it, and he was so lazy that he didn't even want to watch the music, and he just drank and had fun all day long. When you are happy, you will reward indiscriminately, when you are excited, you will pull out your clothes when you see a woman, and if you see a man, you will kill ...... Yeluzhen never thought that this was the true face of Yelujing.
At this time, Yelu Zhen thought that Zong Xin had reminded himself countless times that Yelu Ruan was a good emperor, and there was no need to replace Ye Lu Jing to power. He didn't agree, and Zongxin didn't stop him, but helped him support Yelujing.
Zongxin has known these things for a long time, and Yelu Jing is a faint king, a tyrant. Originally, Yelu Ruan should have been allowed to continue to be the emperor, but it turned out that his own persistence made the Khitan go downhill. Yelu really hated and wanted to kill himself, but he also hated Zongxin, why didn't he tell himself about these things earlier? Although Zongxin had reminded him, but Zongxin was like this for people who could pinch and calculate, they didn't like to say things too clearly, so they liked to play dumb riddles to people, and when things really happened, others suddenly realized.
Other things are just that, this is a national event, and Zongxin is still like this...... Yelu really wanted to kill Zongxin more and more, and he harmed the Khitan.
Empress Dowager Xiao thinks that this is very good, the Khitan already has a way to grow food, and as long as it develops well, since it does not dare to attack the Central Plains, then there is only Xian'an. Originally, there were many things to deal with within the Khitan. Empress Dowager Xiao believes that it is still necessary to consolidate the power of the Khitan, and both the nation and the economy need to develop first, and then seek the world.
Xishu Mengchang's situation was similar to Yelu Jing, because he knew that he had offended Zong Xin, the big devil, and because Wu Yan Hongyu was alive, Zong Xin temporarily spared his own life. As soon as Wu Yan Hongyu dies, Zong Xin will definitely rush to the door to seek revenge.
The most important thing is...... I once begged to fly to watch the Lord Fei Xuansan, she is the daughter of Wu Yan Hongyu, if this old Taoist aunt is willing to help, she may be able to suppress Zong Xin. But Fei Xuansan refused to agree to anything, and even had a very bad attitude towards Meng Chang.
Meng Chang didn't understand why Fei Xuansan seemed to hate him very much, he wasn't like this before. After all, she is the daughter of Wu Yan Hongyu, although she is a monk, she has to make a little contribution to the development of Shu. Of course, she had already made a sufficient contribution to the fact that she had taken the dragon vein to herself, but what she needed now was protection.
Without Wu Yan Hongyu's protection, Zong Xin would definitely have directly entered the Shu Imperial Palace. Meng Chang had almost no doubts about this, because Zong Xin's martial arts were too high now, and no one in the entire Shu Kingdom was his opponent. Although you can also spend a lot of money to hire a bodyguard outside, the bodyguard is not a fool, if he knew that the other party was Zongxin, he would not come how much money he would give.
Meng Chang has no hope, the development of Shu and the general trend of the world are not necessary for him, and now he is hiding in the palace all day long, waiting for Zong Xin to come to him for revenge. Everything is because of the woman Hua Rui, so Meng Chang also let Hua Rui accompany him every day and sleep with her a few more times, even if she dies, it is not wronged.
But fortunately, I knew that Zong Xin had re-taken the Silk Road and had no chance to kill Meng Chang for the time being, so Meng Chang was quite relieved and bold recently, and even went to Dujiangyan to travel. However, after leaving Chengdu, Meng Chang felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that someone was going to assassinate him, so he quickly returned to the palace of Shu Kingdom, and only this was his safe hut.
Wu Yue originally took advantage of the emptiness of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to take advantage of it, but he was beaten into a grandson by the 50,000 army brought by Li Hongji and Li Congjia, and was wiped out in an instant, and was almost beaten into Wu Yue's capital. Qian Hua, the king of Yue, personally went to the Tang military camp to let this matter settle down.
Although Li Hongji was unhappy, he still believed in the judgment of the third brother, and the third brother said that Qian Hua could assassinate any official of the Tang Dynasty at any time, and no one could stop Qian Hua unless Dugufeng and Duguhuang were guarding day and night.
Now such a top master whispered to sue for peace, and they had to agree to Qian Hua's request. Moreover, Wu Yue was too poor, and they had no way to ask Wu Yue for compensation, so they had no choice but to give up. Anyway, this time let Li Hongji really see how much ability it takes to lead troops into battle, and Li Hongji also confirmed that he will never learn these things.
The Southern Han Dynasty has always been peaceful, and has been making every effort to develop the area around Yandao. With the support of the refugees of the Chu State, the Southern Han Dynasty is now far stronger than before, and is already planning what to do next. However, the current Nanhan is quite honest and has never thought about seizing Yandao, because he knows that Zongxin is a person who can never afford to offend. There have been countless unlucky people who have helped the world prove the strength of Zongxin......
In today's Central Plains, Zongxin is a topic, and everyone can talk about Zongxin all day, and then continue to talk the next day. A lot of some have not been added to it, Zongxin was originally a god-like existence in the minds of the people, and the topic of Zongxin can be talked about anywhere very happy.
At this time, there was a big event in the Central Plains that no one knew about, and it was in the Great Zhou Palace.
Guo Wei was watching the recital, and after reading it, he said with a depressed face: "These bastards, I don't know much words, I have to write so many recitals every day to let me read them, do you know how tired I am?" Rong'er, what are you reading these words?"
"The word Yu in Yuzhou. ”
"Oh~ That's the word, can't you write about the fish swimming in the water? Guo Wei put down the concerto, and then said helplessly: "See it here today, my eyes hurt too much." Recently, my health has not been very good, I have eaten several catties of ginseng, and I feel that it has no effect. I must find an opportunity to kill the imperial doctor, and the grandson must have given me second-hand ginseng. ”
