Chapter 668 Die on the inside and be at peace on the outside

The two of them couldn't count on it, and Shangguan Xiong knew that this matter might have to fall on him in the end.

So, without much hesitation, he strode forward and bowed:

"The minister asked for an order, and sent troops to Xichuan to crusade against the traitor Xichuan Hou. ”

Although Nishikawa has not yet spoken out to betray the imperial court, his actions have all indicated his position.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiong really understood himself, Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But he directly ignored Wei Guogong and Ning Guogong, and the performance of the two just now, he knew very well that he was afraid that he would not be able to count on the two of them.

Both of them have their own little abacus in their hearts, and if they want to let the two old foxes make a move, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

This made Xuanyuan Sheng, who was still a little hesitant, directly dispelled his previous hesitation.

"Okay, the old general's intentions are exactly what I want, I don't know if the old general is willing to sweep away Xichuan's rebellion for me, so as to vent the hatred in my heart?"

"Your Majesty has an order, and the minister dares not to die. ”

The reason why Shangguan Xiong did not hesitate to go down was because of his grandson's words.

Die on the inside, be at peace on the outside.

Instead of being trapped in Yucheng, it is better to hold the army outside and sit and watch the world.

The Shangguan family is different from the Wei Ning family, and the Shangguan family is now fiefdom in southern Xinjiang, and its foundation is also in southern Xinjiang.

In Yucheng, except for the generals who belonged to the Shangguan faction, the rest of the Shangguan family descendants basically did not move in the southern Xinjiang fiefdom.

Southern Xinjiang, belonging to the four corners, is the foundation of God-given kings.

If Shangguan Xiong is outside with a large army, it is up to him to decide whether he can enter Xichuan or not, and if there is a change in Yucheng, he can retreat to southern Xinjiang with his army.

Then, occupy the land of the five states of southern Xinjiang, and use the land of the five states of southern Xinjiang to ensure the unfailing momentum of the official family.

However, Wei Ning's two fiefdoms were too close to the Central Plains to break away from the control of the imperial court, and at the same time, there was no strategic place for them to defend.

If the two forces are too strong, they will become the primary target of many forces, so no matter how many soldiers they have.

If there is no strong support behind it, at most it will be a piece of fat that can be slaughtered by others, and it will not be able to stand on its own at all.

With Shangguanxiong's support, Xuanyuan Sheng didn't talk nonsense, and asked him directly:

"Okay, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the old general needs to take the land of Xichuan Sanzhou and Four Prefectures in the shortest possible time?"

Outside Yucheng, the five major legions, except for the central legion, need to guard Yucheng.

According to Xuanyuan Sheng's idea, the other four major legions let Shangguan Xiong take away at most one legion.

After all, the outer gate of heaven may be opened at any time in the future, and Yucheng will be the focus at that time.

If little Xichuan wasn't afraid that officials from all over the country would follow suit, Xuanyuan Sheng wouldn't be willing to make so much effort to solicit it.

Killing chickens to show monkeys is the only way to gather heavy troops to conscript, so that a group of local officials are in awe.

In this way, they did not dare to blatantly disobey the orders of the imperial court, even if they sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

Hearing Xuanyuan Sheng ask, Shangguan Xiong was not polite at all, and directly opened his mouth:

"The minister requests that the Northwest Army Corps and the Southeast Army Corps, plus 500,000 Northern Corps, go south and west with the ministers. ”

rumble

At once, he was going to take away the two major legions, plus 500,000 elite northern cavalry.

Xuanyuan Sheng was mentally prepared, and at this moment, he was also shocked by Shangguan Xiong's lion opening.

This is nearly half of the elite soldiers on Dayu's face, not to mention what Wei Guogong and Ning Guogong think.

Even the cold blood on the side couldn't help but give Shangguan Xiong a thumbs up in secret.

Dick, dick exploded, the entire Dayu Dynasty, except for Zhenguo Gong, no one dared to open his mouth to the emperor and directly wanted to leave the two major legions.

In this way, if it were someone else, Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng would definitely drag it down and cut it down without thinking about it.

Is it worth spending two major armies to deal with a Xichuan? I am afraid that the rebellion is fake, and it is true to support the army and respect itself.

If the emperor really agreed, there would be two major legions, the Northwest Army and the Southeast Army, in hand, even if the terrain of Xichuan was precipitous.

It is completely capable of directly translating over with an absolute strength advantage, and erasing the Xichuan Houfu directly from Xichuan.

However, it is a pity that no matter how loyal Shangguan Xiong is, it is impossible for the emperor to let him take away the two legions.

Because from the beginning of the founding of the Yu Dynasty to the present, there has never been a general who led two major armies to go out to conquer.

Now, as soon as the Duke of Zhenguo spoke, he wanted the two major armies to go south, which made the emperor a little embarrassed.

So, I couldn't help but say:

"Old General"

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Sheng to continue speaking, Shangguan Xiong directly interrupted:

"Your Majesty, the situation is different from the past, and the battle in Xichuan must be resolved in the shortest possible time.

If the two major armies go to Xichuan, the minister is sure that Xichuan will be detained to Yucheng at the beginning of next year, and will be at the disposal of His Majesty. ”

"This"

Hearing Shangguan Xiong say this, Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng was a little moved, and at the same time he was even more embarrassed, the strength of the five major legions, Xuanyuan Sheng was naturally very clear.

If there are warriors of a hundred battles like the Northwest Army and the Southeast Army to go south, they will indeed be able to sweep the entire Xichuan.

However, the terrain of Xichuan is complicated, and even if there are two major armies in hand, it is impossible to completely take the three states and four prefectures of Xichuan within a year.

However, at this moment, Shangguan Xionghai's boasting made Xuanyuan Sheng feel a little moved.

Thinking that the other party had been able to solve the Nanban in southern Xinjiang in more than half a year.

At that time, the other party only had troops from the five states of southern Xinjiang available.

Those local soldiers could not be compared with the five major legions of the imperial court.

From this point of view, Zhen Guogong is indeed not fooling himself with empty words, since he dares to say so, he must be completely sure to dare to let go of his words like this.

However, although he wanted Shangguan Xiong to solve the Xichuan matter as soon as possible for him.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, it was impossible for Xuanyuan Sheng to let Shangguan Xiong take away the two major armies plus the 500,000 Northern Army.

One year is not a long time, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that within this year, the Extraterritorial Heavenly Gate will not be opened during this time period.

If it is opened, if the remaining ancient sects in it are too powerful, at that time, these well-trained warriors.

But it is an important means to balance it, and these iron-blooded people, even the powerhouses of the Great Grandmaster realm do not dare to confront them.

Unless there is an immortal of the Extreme Dao Realm, if it is replaced by other Innate Realm powerhouses to fight hard, its end will definitely be bloodstained on the spot.

Therefore, if the five major legions can, it is better to keep all of them, which is more in line with Xuanyuan Sheng's considerations.

However, obviously he couldn't do that, if none of the five major legions moved, how could the ordinary army be the opponent of Xifuwei under Xichuan Hou.

In this way, I am afraid that the Xichuan War will not be completed after decades.

In this way, under the direct influence of Xichuan, I am afraid that many local forces will take advantage of the situation, and the chaos in the world is probably not far away.

Tens of millions of soldiers, it seems to be a lot and very powerful, but they are scattered to the thirty-five state capitals of the Dayu Dynasty.

In this way, one by one, there is not much left.

At that time, the local forces will slowly be consumed with the imperial court, and such consumption can consume these tens of millions of warriors.

The battle of Xichuan must be completed as soon as possible, and at the same time, the two major army corps cannot be taken away by the Zhenguo Gong Shangguanxiong.

A legion, this is Xuanyuan Sheng's limit, and it is also Shangguan Xiong's bottom line.
