Text Chapter 104: Qifeng Dynasty
The Qifeng Dynasty is located in the middle of Daze, starting from the Yongshan Mountain in the west, and reaching the source of the river in the east, during which the border is nearly 10,000 miles, and the entire chaotic war place of Daze is cut off from the middle. In the north and south of Qifeng, there are four small dynasties, namely: Chen, Jin, Liang, and Shang. The four nations were allies against each other, and sometimes attacked each other, breaking the alliance oath between them that was already unstable because of the gains and losses of one city and one place.
The strength of the Qifeng Dynasty, the generals are all tigers and wolves, and even the surrounding neighbors are forced to form an alliance to resist it, however, even so, it does not see what the effect of this alliance is, every time the battle starts, the "Feiyan pawn" of Qifeng is always like entering the realm of no one, not a surprise soldier suddenly hit the four countries by surprise, or simply directly line up the frontal position, step by step. It is clear that the number of "Feiyan pawns" of Naqifeng is not more than that of the Four-Nation Alliance, and the number of coalition forces is even twice or even three times that of the "Flying Swallow Pawns", and everyone is also that fierce and fearless of death, however, after a bloody battle, the result is often that the Four-Nation Alliance Army is beaten and trembling, and it is defeated.
Over time, the hard breath of the four countries around Qifeng was so vigorous that the Qifeng Dynasty was defeated, from the monarch and princes, down to the civil and military officials, but no one dared to say anything about "taking the initiative to attack Qifeng", and all day long, they could only make some appeasement and marriage strategies to delay the situation, in a vain attempt to let the Qifeng Dynasty spare their lives, or they would rack their brains and resort to the plan of "driving the tiger and devouring the sheep", and promised to use Qifeng's generous gifts and even cut the city and land to stop the pace of attacking, and instead attack other countries in order to protect themselves.
Naturally, this move is nothing more than self-deception in exchange for a lingering breath, and in the long run, it will be difficult to escape the collapse of the dynasty after all.
The topography of Daze, starting from the central part, is mountainous and watery, especially the turbulent flow of lakes and rivers, which are staggered and converged everywhere. Naturally, the topography of the Qifeng Dynasty and even the four countries is also like this, which is a competition between the two armies, but it still pays special attention to the advantages of the terrain. Because of this, although for more than ten years, the Qifeng Dynasty has suppressed the surrounding four countries to the death and gained the upper hand, but it has not occupied too much of the land of the four countries.
One is the geographical advantage, although the four countries are weak, but relying on the city to defend, but there is a lot of convenience, to capture a city, although there is no big problem, but it always has to spend a lot of troops and people, if there is no surprise army, it will take a lot of time, it is still quite difficult. And the two, because the four countries are all there, check and balance each other, and make Qi Feng taboo, and dare not do all the elite soldiers of the dynasty to attack a country quickly, for fear that the other three countries will take the opportunity to attack, and then be attacked on all sides.
Yes, now it can only slowly encroach on the territory of the four countries, and it is not a bad thing to kill people with a slow knife, after all, even if Qi Feng annexes the four countries in one go at the moment, it is not the time to go north to conquer, naturally, there is no need to be so eager.
......
The capital of the Qifeng Dynasty is called: Taiju Jing.
Although this place is not as magnificent as the capital of Hou Chu and Daqi, it is also one of the best dynasty capitals in the south of this Jianzhou, or simply the most spectacular city except for the Jade Zhaojing of Hou Chu.
There are three long rivers traversing from Taiju Beijing, such a terrain, and is called "three dragons convergence" by the people of Kanyu Gao, and the palace of the Feng Dynasty, the Fengming Palace is located at the upper end, also known as the "dragon and phoenix symphony", it is the easiest to gather and accumulate the luck of the dynasty, so as to stabilize the dynasty and the country.
In the early morning, the wind and snow did not stop.
In the Fengming Palace, in the Jinluan Treasure Palace, there is a handsome young man, wearing a jade crown and a black robe, surrounded by dragons, covered with a big red red with gold wire, sitting on the dragon chair with a solemn expression.
He lightly glanced at the groveling eunuch on the side, and the eunuch saw it, and quickly walked two steps forward, and then straightened his waist, lifted his breath, and said loudly in his throat: "The ministers have a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat from!"
The eunuch's voice echoed in the huge Jinluan Palace, and then spread to the outside of the hall, so that the many officials who had not yet stood in the Jinluan Hall had to wait outside the hall could also hear it clearly.
In the Jinluan Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in two columns, and at this moment, they all squinted slightly, and then they all straightened their waists in unison.
These small movements may not be noticed by others, but in the eyes of the young man sitting on the throne above, they can be seen at a glance and clearly.
I saw that his face had not changed, but he was already smiling secretly in his heart: The show is coming!
Sure enough, I saw that standing at the end of the civil officials on the left, an imperial historian had just finished saying these words and returned to his original position, so he immediately went out of the ranks, bowed down to the young man, and then lowered his head, and then said in a long voice: "Minister, there is a music." ”
This little imperial history, about thirty years old, deep eyebrows and narrow eyes, a thin face, with a mustache, and his figure does not look like a tall and strong person, but the young man still has a slight impression of him, it seems to be named: Li Wei, if you remember correctly, it was the person who was personally recommended by the scholar Su Jiyang the year before last, but in the past two years, I haven't seen this person set off any limelight and go with the flow, but now, but it is, is it finally about to start?
The young man thought so, and then glanced at the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Su Jiyang, without a trace. I saw this gray-haired old man who was still full of energy, but at the moment he didn't squint, as if he hadn't heard or seen Li Wei at all, and he didn't show a trace of flaws.
Old fox!
A smile immediately flashed across the young man's face, but he was a little curious, which one of them were there today? Isn't it about Yang Ying?
Thinking about it, the young man immediately looked at Li Wei, the "chess piece" that was thrown first, and said with a smile: "Li Wei, what do you want to participate in?"
When Li Wei heard the question of the Son of Heaven, he exhaled lightly, quietly glanced at the "benefactor who knew him" on the left beside him, and then said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the matter that the minister wants to participate in is the matter of Yang Ying, the general of Pingnan, who is secretly engaged in the business of the country, plotting against him, and intending to commit treason and rebellion!
Tut......
The young man's eyes moved, and sure enough!
As soon as Li Wei finished hearing this, there was an uproar in the court, especially the movement of the right-handed generals.
Immediately, there was a tall bearded man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Li Wei and shouted and scolded: "Let your mother's bullshit got!" You bastard, did you drink too much horse urine last night and didn't wake up? You actually dare to tell Lao Tzu that Lao Yang was treason and rebellion? Lao Tzu cut off your head!"
The young man smiled, glanced at this rough man like the countryside in the market, and said lightly: "Hu Laohei, are you Lao Tzu or am I Lao Tzu?"
"Lao Tzu......" The man subconsciously said the first two words, and then reacted, and immediately looked at the young man sitting on the side with an inexplicable smile on his face, and hurriedly knelt on the main hall, and broke out in a cold sweat for a while, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is the son of a minister!"
The young man sneered, looked at this rough man, and then said: "Junqian lost his manners, fifty boards, Hu Laohei, you can write it down, and when you will retreat from the court, you will go to Zhengguangmen to receive the punishment by yourself." ”
The title of "Hu Laohei" is actually just the name of the young man for the man who is nervous below, this seemingly vulgar and rude man, but his real name is called: Hu Yanghu, the official to the Pingbei General of the Qifeng Dynasty, and the private relationship with the Pingnan General is very good, and most of the court knows about this matter.
When Hu Yanghu heard the punishment given to him by the young man, fifty boards was not light, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, the minister is willing to be punished." ”
After thinking about it, he was still very angry in his heart, and then glared angrily at Li Wei beside him, and said again: "Your Majesty, please Your Majesty, Lao Yang...... No, Yang Ying is upright and resolute, loyal to the country, and has laid a large territory for my Qifeng, what he has done is vivid to everyone, and the three generations of his family are also loyal and good, it is impossible for him to have the act of treason against the enemy, he is slandering Yang Ying!
The young man smiled faintly, looked at Hu Yanghu, and said, "What you said, do you have the appearance of a courtier?" Fang Cai, if you don't say it, I thought you were the butcher from Shangyuanfang!"
After the young man finished speaking, many courtiers in the Jinluan Hall couldn't help laughing.
Hu Yanghu's face was ashamed, and he lowered his head and said: "The minister is guilty, the minister is ...... Fang was in a hurry to say those indecent words, which is really damned. ”
"You bastard, get up, go back to your class. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. When Hu Yanghu heard this, he quickly stood up and went back to his place.
The young man looked at him, then ignored it, pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Li Wei again, and said loudly: "Li Wei, tell me, why did Yang Ying plot to rebel......? It will inevitably be severely punished. ”
Hearing this, Hu Yanghu, who had just returned to his position, was startled, then quickly looked at the young man, and then turned to look at Li Wei, his eyes were cold.
Beside him, someone suddenly touched him, Hu Yanghu turned his head to look at the man, and saw that the man shook his head slightly at him.
When Hu Yanghu saw it, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and then he sighed, and then looked at Li Wei again.
Hmph, let's hear what he has to say!
Li Wei heard the king's question again, sorted out the words in his heart, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Yang Ying suddenly attacked the Shangguo Jingzhou on the first day of the first month of last month, and within the 20th, he captured two cities in a row. However, for some reason, Yang Ying suddenly withdrew three days later, and even the two cities he had conquered were also abandoned and retreated to Yuanzhou. This matter is really strange, and I don't know what Yang Ying plans to do in this military war. Then, the minister suddenly got the news, and heard that the king of the Shang State actually contacted Yang Ying, and it was actually Xu Yi's fourth daughter, Princess Qinyang, to marry Yang Ying's son Yang Zhan as his wife, and the people in Yuanzhou knew about this matter, but they did not see him Yang Ying report to His Majesty, isn't this an illicit affair with the enemy country! Moreover, if we contact him again to withdraw from the army without a reason, then the matter is coherent, and Yang Ying's heart is already clear! His heart must be different! I beg Your Majesty to detain Yang Ying and return to Beijing!
When the young man heard his words, he couldn't help but smile, he couldn't imagine that a long-term imperial historian who had stayed in Beijing was so well-informed?
It's not simple, it's not simple, it looks like it's quite well prepared!
