Several people gathered again to Wu'an Palace, but this time there was one more person, Cheng Yang, the new head of the Supervision Department, was also called by Chu Yun, Cheng Yang looked at Zhou Yan who was sitting there with his eyes closed, his teeth were about to break, he was the head of the largest supervision organization in Daming Palace, but why did you Zhou Yan steal my limelight again and again. Originally, the contradiction between Cheng Yang and Zhou Yan was superficial, and he wanted Chu Yun to rest assured that they would not be in the same boat, but now Cheng Yang really hates this Zhou Yan who pulls him in one hand, after all, the ass decides the head.

After Chu Yun came, everyone saluted. Chu Yun didn't talk nonsense, "Zhou Yan, you tell everyone the news you got." Zhou Yan stood up and swept Cheng Yang with his eyes inadvertently, and said what he told Chu Yun in the heavenly prison, everyone else was attracted by this news, but Cheng Yang did not pay attention to the news itself, but was shocked, this kind of news, how did a newly built Jinyi Wei get it. Zhou Yan had a secret channel, Cheng Yang instantly affirmed his thoughts, he scolded Zhou Yan in his heart for being inauthentic, and completely forgot how he treated Zhou Yan.

Chu Yun looked at Cheng Yang's somewhat twitching face, and knew what he was thinking, but this was exactly what he wanted.

"Cheng Aiqing, the Supervision Department is a core organization that has been established for decades, and it seems that Cheng Aiqing will continue to work hard. Chu Yun said casually, then ignored Cheng Yang, who had an even uglier face, and turned his head to discuss with his subordinates.

Everyone agreed to send someone to Dacheng to declare sovereignty, but there was a disagreement on the issue of who to send, everyone knew that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, even if Dacheng Guo took refuge in Da Zhao, he couldn't make any waves, although the southern army was secretly mobilized by Chu Yun to Shangdang County, and prepared to raid the Tiger Prison Pass, but there was no problem for the 50,000 Zhennan army to defeat the 100,000 Dacheng army. The army of the Ming Kingdom is well-equipped to the teeth, but the Dacheng Kingdom has long been impoverished by the Ming Dynasty, what kind of soldiers do you train if you have no money?

Ma Liang and the others suggested that Chu Yun send Mo Han there, after all, Chu Yun personally said that he was going to send Mo Han to Dacheng on a business trip, Ma Liang wanted Mo Han to return to the core of power from the beginning, how could he come back without merit? But You Ziyuan wanted his son You Ling to go, this is his most competitive son, and now he is working as a foreigner in the Daming Rite Department. The Ministry of Rites was originally to deal with foreign relations, Zheng Jie, the old Shangshu of the pavilion, took the two waiters to the Great Yan Kingdom, and You Ling, a foreign man, should be the best candidate. You Ziyuan's eldest son is also in his fifties, and if he doesn't climb up, it's almost over. You Ziyuan gave up his old face and fought for his son's status, but Ma Liang didn't want to let it, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Chu Yun originally said that Mo Han was going to Dacheng Kingdom, but he just wanted to break away from Mo Han and comfort Ma Liang before the big war. But now that something is really wrong, Chu Yun doesn't want Mo Han to participate, Chu Yun is a little biased towards You Ling in his heart.

As soon as Chu Yun wanted to speak, his divine sense inadvertently paid attention to Ma Liang's body, Ma Liang's eyes were full of pleading, which made Chu Yun's heart soften, after all, Mo Han, Ma Liang and others have followed their old courtiers since their own ends, and Mo Han is indeed talented. This time I will give Mo Han a chance, even if he messes up, Zhennan Army is not a vegetarian.

"Pass on my will, let Mo Han as the Qin Cha have full authority to deal with the affairs of Dacheng Kingdom, and You Ling will assist as a deputy envoy. Wang Jie should be about to join the party now, this time it depends on his performance. Chu Yun asked.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the Supervision Department, General Wang has already arrived in Xihe County, and he will almost arrive in Shangdang County tomorrow. As soon as Zhou Yan wanted to speak, Cheng Yang spoke.

"Well, Cheng Aiqing, Jinyiwei has made two great achievements at the beginning, and your Supervision Department will also work hard, this time you are responsible for hiding the movements of the army, if you do it well, then it will be a great achievement. Chu Yun opened his mouth and said, Cheng Yang's face was overjoyed, and he expressed his loyalty.

"Your Majesty, I don't think relying solely on the help of the Supervision Department to conceal it can guarantee that other countries will not receive the news, after all, the movement of three battalions of the Southern Army and the Five Battalions of the Forbidden Army, with a total of 200,000 people, cannot be completely hidden. Zhou Yan suddenly finished speaking, and Cheng Yang's face flashed with anger.

"What does Zhou Aiqing pay attention to?" Chu Yun asked.

"Your Majesty, why don't we divert the enemy's attention so that they can't see our true strategic intentions?" After Zhou Yan finished speaking, several important ministers looked at Zhou Yan with admiration.

"Okay, you're good. Ordered the Zhenxi Army and the Zhengxi Army to make some big moves, even if it was a small and medium-sized follow-up movement, so that the people of the world could pay attention to the western front of the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yun made the final decision.

There are less than three months before Da Zhao, Da Liang and other countries launch a comprehensive attack on Ming, Da Ming must strive to successfully win over Da Yan before then, and take the Tiger Pass, if these two points are done, it is not Da Ming who is at stake, but Da Zhao State, once Da Zhao State is defeated, then the first power in the world will fall on the head of Da Ming.

In the next period of time, there was a lot of noise on the border between Da Ming and Da Liang, and Da Ming kept looking for trouble with Da Liang, which made Da Liang jump, and they were thieves, thinking that Da Ming knew their agreement with Da Zhao. While deploying more troops on the border, they kept sending people to fight Da Ming to beg for mercy, after all, there were still many months before the agreed time, if Da Ming was the same as last time, and first cleaned up Da Liang Kingdom, then they would have no place to cry. But Da Zhao and the others were overjoyed, after all, Da Ming's attention was on Da Liang, wouldn't they be able to make a profit?

Just when all the countries in the world had their own thoughts, Zheng Jie, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, quietly entered Longcheng (now Chaoyang City, Liao Province), and as soon as they entered Longcheng, they were discovered by the Dayan court, although they came in the name of a caravan, but Longcheng was the capital of Dayan after all. They were honored to be quarantined, and quickly informed Murong Hao, the king of Yan.

Murong Hao was very angry with the envoy from the Ming Dynasty, after all, the country hated the family, and what the Ming did was indeed not authentic, but under the persuasion of the prince Murong Jun, he calmed down, and Murong Hao ordered his son Murong Jun to probe their tone, and Murong Jun happily accepted the order.

In fact, for Da Ming's arrival, Murong Hao's father and son vaguely guessed what was going on, after all, their father and son were not mortals, and they had long been worried about Dayan's situation. They had even decided not to do their best when facing Da Ming this time, and to let Da Ming continue to have the energy to delay Da Zhao and buy them time. Although they had already decided to help Da Ming, the grievances in their hearts were very uncomfortable, and now that Da Ming had run out, they were sorry for themselves if they didn't get angry.

Murong Jun came to the post house quietly, and he didn't make a noise, he thought more than his father, he wanted to please both sides, even if he couldn't do it, he had to reveal their decision to Da Ming, let Da Ming make their love, maybe get some benefits.

During his reign, he entered the Central Plains, destroyed the Ran Wei established by Ran Min, the king of Wumourning, and entered the Central Plains originally occupied by Later Zhao, and moved the capital to Yecheng.

He is not an easy person to deal with, but he is still young after all, and Zheng Jie is a professional diplomat who can tell the dead to live, as soon as the two met, Zheng Jie gave Murong Jun a big gift, Murong Jun was startled, after all, Zheng Jie represented the Ming Emperor, compared to their Dayan is just a kingdom.

"Shizi, I am not saluting you on behalf of His Majesty's envoy, but on behalf of my own identity, you are the master, I am the subordinate, and the subordinate should salute the master. "One sentence made Murong Jun confused, whose courtier are you?

Without waiting for Murong Jun to speak, Zheng Jie spoke again: "Shizi, my Majesty has already announced to the world that Murong Shizi's aunt Murong is the imperial concubine, and Feng Shizi's cousin, Chu Qian, the emperor's eldest son, is the king of Anping County. You are the nephew of the concubine Niangniang and the cousin of the king of Anping County, so you are the master of the subordinates, why can't I salute you as a courtier?"

Murong Jun was taken aback by Zheng Jie's words, his own aunt became the imperial concubine? This is the lord of the harem, although the two queens of the Ming Dynasty are dead, the imperial concubine is equivalent to the lord of the harem, and his cousin has become the first county king, does this not mean that the next emperor of the Ming Kingdom is likely to be a cousin of half Xianbei blood? Murong Jun's dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty has long since disappeared.

Zheng Jie took the opportunity to shield everyone and talked to Murong Jun alone for a long time, it was nothing more than the kinship between Da Ming and Dayan, and the crisis of the Great Yan Kingdom, Murong Jun thought it was true, after all, they were also relatives, and the existence of Da Zhao restricted the development of the Great Yan Kingdom. The latter is the most important, the relationship between relatives is just to ease the relationship with Dayan, it is a stepping stone, after all, Chu Qian is surnamed Chu, not Murong.

Murong Jun was completely brainwashed by what Zheng Jie said, after all, the bottleneck of the development of the Great Yan Kingdom that Zheng Jie said was indeed the Great Zhao Kingdom, and Zheng Jie did not open his mouth. When Zheng Jie said that Da Ming and Da Yan had formed an alliance again, although Murong Jun said that he was going to tell his father, he could see that he would definitely persuade his father to agree. Zheng Jie gave Murong Jun a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and said that it was all given to him by his uncle and aunt, and of course his uncle was Chu Yun. Murong Jun accepted it directly, after all, Chu Yun gave a lot of things.

Murong Jun returned to the palace with Chu Yun's handwritten letter to his father, his aunt's private letter to his father, and the gift list that Da Ming had sent to His Majesty Murong Hao. Murong Jun told Murong Hao Zheng Jie's words word for word, and Murong Hao was shocked by Da Ming's overtures. However, as the lord of a big force, he still convened a few henchmen and staff to discuss it all night, and finally decided to agree to the conditions of Daming. After all, the two countries are not next to each other, and Da Zhao is Da Yan's henchman.

Zheng Jie personally met with Murong Hao, the two sides discussed for several days, before deciding on the details of the specific cooperation between the two countries, Zheng Jie said goodbye to Murong Hao, the king of Yan, and eagerly returned to Chang'an, Murong Hao did not stay, and sent the prince Murong Jun to the border of the Great Yan Kingdom in person, and the two sides said goodbye.

By the time Zheng Jie returned to Chang'an, it was already more than a month later in late March, and Zheng Jie immediately told Chu Yun of the conditions of the Great Yan Kingdom, and both sides knew that it was impossible to destroy the Great Zhao at once, so the Great Yan Kingdom asked the Great Ming to help them occupy all Youzhou, and promised the Great Yan Kingdom to be the emperor. The former is not difficult to do, after all, except for the displeasure of the Liao Congress, the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, there is no other obstacle. But after all, the strength of the Liao State is too poor, and the Ming Dynasty will also have other compensation for them, so they dare not agree. But the latter is not easy, after all, the Great Yan Kingdom is the emperor, and it has the name of orthodoxy, and it can really compete with the Ming Dynasty. And more importantly, the Great Yan Kingdom is still nominally a subject country of the Great Jin, if you promise to support the Great Yan, then the Ming and the Great Jin will definitely be at odds, which makes the Ming in a dilemma. Chu Yun is also preparing to unite the Great Jin, Great Yan and other countries to attack from three sides and completely destroy the Great Zhao State.

"Your Majesty, we will talk about it later, and everyone knows what kind of virtue those people in power in the Great Jin are, they have done it for the sake of their own family and their own interests, and when the time comes, it will be nothing more than to take more money to send it. The Great Jin Dynasty would not dare to turn against us, and besides, the Great Yan Kingdom was nominally their subject country, but in fact, they themselves knew what was going on. Your Majesty has no need to worry about this. Ma Liang opened his mouth to persuade, and Chu Yun also nodded and left this matter behind, after all, even if Dajin is not satisfied, it will be a matter of the future.

"Everyone, this time we still have to rely on the original strategy to win the Tiger Prison Pass, and let the Great Yan Kingdom see our strength, the stronger we are, the more they will contribute, we have to give our good allies a confidence. After Chu Yun finished speaking, everyone laughed.

The time soon came to April of the eleventh year of Shengwu, and there was no abnormality in all countries on the surface, but in fact, they all acted secretly, and the Supervision Department and Jinyiwei had already received the news, whether it was the Great Liang Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom, or the Great Zhao Kingdom, and other forces were secretly mobilizing troops. At their pace, it should be mobilized within a month or two.

And the Great Yan Kingdom is also like no one, following Da Zhao to secretly mobilize the army to the border of Bingzhou and Youzhou, but they are ready to unite with the Ming Dynasty's Bingzhou Army to completely annex the 150,000 vanguard troops of Da Zhao, thus sweeping Youzhou.

The transfer of the Ming Dynasty has already been completed, and there are 200,000 troops hidden in Shangdang County, and Wang Jie is personally commanding it, ready to take the lead. And Xie Ai also had 200,000 troops under him, in addition to the Zhengbei Army and the Zhenbei Army, the remaining two battalions of the five battalions of the forbidden army were assigned to him to command.

Chu Yun is ready to support all places with the iron-blooded forbidden army at any time, where there is a problem, Chu Yun will do it, this time to attack the Tiger Prison Pass Originally, Chu Yun wanted to personally lead the troops, but all the ministers, including all the concubines in the harem, did not agree, and Chu Yun could only give up, but he believed in Wang Jie's strength.

"Tonight, Wang Jie should do it. "On the night of the second day of the fourth month, Chu Yun stood on the wall of Daming Palace and looked at the west, although Chu Yun felt that Wang Jie could succeed, but after all, this was a war, and it was likely that there would be an accident. Hu Tiezhu accompanied Chu Yun and didn't speak, he knew his ability and never interfered in military affairs, which was also the reason why Chu Yun was most at ease with him.

The night of Hanoi County was broken that night, 200,000 troops swarmed out from Shangdang County, planned to kill one city after another, the Supervision Department and Jinyi Wei had already infiltrated Hanoi County like their own back garden, when the next day at noon, after the fall of the county town of Hanoi County, Hanoi County had no resistance at all. With his help, the 40,000 defenders of Hanoi County surrendered directly, not without resistance, but those who resisted were slaughtered.

Wang Jie's army crossed the Yellow River on the ferry boat prepared for them by the county guard of Hanoi, and killed directly behind the Tiger Pass, although the Tiger Pass was guarded by 50,000 Zhao troops, and there was a 200,000 Zhao army stationed in the Tiger Pass after half a month, but the Ming Dynasty chose this time, it was to find a time when the Zhao army did not think that the Ming Dynasty would do it, when the Ming Army suddenly appeared in the east of the Tiger Pass, the Ming Dynasty was likely to be in chaos, so that the Ming Dynasty would fight.

The defender of the Tiger Prison Pass is Ren Bo, the teacher of Emperor Zhao, this guy talks about the art of war, but he has never led soldiers, and he has not even commanded small-scale battles, but he has won Shi Hong's trust. Ren Bo repeatedly requested, but Shi Hong would give him such an important position because of his feelings. Shi Hong is a rare lord of benevolence and righteousness, and has the support of almost everyone under him, but his character is more than enough as the lord of Shoucheng, but in this troubled world, I don't know whether it is good or bad, Shi Le once commented on his son, saying that he "is a big and stubborn, but not like a general." That is to say, he likes literature, not military, and is not like my son of Shile.

Of course, although Shi Hong is young, he is not a fool, and he is also afraid that his teacher will be unreliable, so although Ren Bo is the guard of the Tiger Prison, but this time in the battle with Daming, he will be under the command of Li Nong, a famous general of Dazhao, and Ma Qiu.

This Li Nong is the guy who killed all the descendants of Shi Hu with Ran Min, the king of martial mourning, in history, and his talent is very good, so just like in history, he has also become Shi Hong's commonplace. And Ma Qiu is the guy in history who commanded the troops to attack Qianliang three times and achieved Xie Aiwei's fame, he followed his master Shi Di to fight with Daming, although he was defeated by Daming, but he still escaped with his life. After Shi Di's death, he escaped from Luoyang, wanted to avenge Shi Di, and became a general under Shi Hong. His skills are very solid, so Shi Hong asked Ma Qiu to assist Li Nong in this war in Luoyang.

But it's a pity that when they are still more than ten days away from the Tiger Prison Pass, the Ming Army came first, Wang Jie personally raised 100,000 cavalry to kill the Tiger Prison Pass, and the deputy general is also the commander of the Houying Forbidden Army Cui Cheng took another 100,000 troops to start the defense, his task is to block Li Nong and Ma Qiu's 200,000 troops to support the Tiger Pass, this task can be said to be very arduous, so Wang Jie can't take the Tiger Prison Pass for a day, so Cui Cheng needs to hold on for a day.

Although he also has 100,000 horses under his command, he is unfamiliar with the people here, there is no logistical support, and there are no fortifications, and it can be said that it is extremely dangerous to face the 200,000 people of Dazhao. But these problems Wang Jie threw to Cui Cheng, he only looked at the results, even if Cui Cheng's 100,000 troops were wiped out, he could win the Tiger Prison Pass. Of course, if he knew that he had thrown the future emperor into such a dangerous situation, he would not have made such an easy decision.

Wang Jie is not alone, the 100,000 army led by Lu Zhong will attack Tiger Prison Pass from the front to attract the firepower of Tiger Prison Pass. The 200,000 troops on both sides besieged the lonely pass of the Tiger Prison Pass, and I don't know if Shi Hong's teacher Ren Bo will not create a miracle.

If Ren Bo can hold on until the army defeats Cui Cheng, then Wang Jie's 100,000 army will be counter-surrounded, and Wang Jie can only meet defeat without a way to go to heaven and no way to meet defeat. If the Ming Dynasty loses the war and the 200,000 troops are wiped out, then even if the Ming Dynasty does not lose the country, it will not be able to develop for a while. Therefore, in this battle, the Great Zhao Kingdom is not without a chance, and the key to all lies in whether Ren Bo is a boastful Zhao Kuo or a well-guarded general Hao Zhao.
