Chapter 298: In the face of interests, there are no eternal friends
Victoria, the remnants of the Goodwill King's Wei Wuyun's territory.
Qing Xian said, if I am not sure to deal with Qin Xiaotian's elephant cavalry, I will not go to the northeast. At the moment, I admit that I am not sure of this.
I decided to take Xie Nantian and Feng Liang to Victoria to take Wei Wuyin.
Liu Qingyang sent troops from Tongzhou to contain Wei Wuyin, so that Wei Wuyun had no time to rescue the Qinshan King. I estimate that Wei Wuyun will deploy the main forces on the front line to deal with Liu Qingyang, and I will take advantage of Wei Wuyin's rear to attack Liu Qingyang on both sides, defeat Victoria, connect Tongzhou and Victoria into a line, like a sharp knife inserted into the center of the whole world.
In this way, the line has become a strategic heavy line. When this passage is connected, the north side will resist Qin Xiaotian, the south side will look down on the king of Zhennan, and the east will observe the imperial court, and if something is wrong anywhere, you can react at any time.
How can I quickly get to the rear of Victoria? I unfolded the map and waved Feng Liang and Xie Nantian to come and watch. The two of them leaned over and looked at my map.
"Let's figure out the best route we can take to the rear of Victoria!" I said to the two men, who looked at the map and pondered.
"I think we should lead our troops down and reach Huangzhou!" Xie Nantian thought for a while and said it at once.
"Huangzhou?" I moved my finger to the location of Huangzhou, which was in the western part of the capital.
"Huangzhou is where Tong Qinghai is stationed!" Xie Nantian saw that my fingers were parked in Huangzhou and explained to me, "Tong Qinghai's army has received our army, and it will be easier for us to wear it out from there!"
I nodded, knowing what Xie Nantian meant.
Tong Qinghai himself didn't see it in the court that time, and he may have been killed by the emperor.
"After this time, the imperial court did not send troops to re-garrison Huangzhou, and Huangzhou is now an empty city. Since it is an empty city, it is better for us to occupy this place directly, which can be regarded as a territory given to us by the imperial court for nothing. Xie Nantian continued to elaborate on his thoughts.
I touched my chin and thought about Xie Nantian's words.
Feng Liang did not speak. I'm thinking about it, too.
"We rested the army in Huangzhou and replenished food and grass. Then go straight out of Huangzhou, through the three major states of Ruizhou, Panzhou, and Chaozhou, and you can reach the rear of Victoria as soon as possible!" Xie Nantian's finger wandered on the map.
"These three places belong to the imperial court, will they let our 380,000 troops go over?" Feng Liang stopped thinking and asked, "Also, if we occupy Huangzhou, will the capital and Ruizhou launch a two-sided attack on us at the same time?"
Feng Liang immediately thought of the possible consequences of this approach, and he deserved to be a famous general.
"It's not impossible!" Xie Nantian nodded.
Although Crazy Laughter turned the tide in the capital and helped the emperor regain the throne. But now the wild laughter endangered the emperor's rule. The emperor will not think about his throne!" Xie Nantian looked at me and Feng Liang, and said solemnly, "In the face of interests, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies!"
Feng Liang looked at me, and Xie Nantian looked at me. These two await my decision.
Xie Nantian didn't know that the emperor was going to give way to me, but Xie Nantian was right, there are no permanent friends and enemies. The mad brother said that the emperor listened to the words and was ready to actively defend. There is still a possibility that Feng Liang said.
"If we want to stick to Huangzhou, how many years can we hold out?" I didn't answer directly, but asked the question.
"This free king's grain and grass plus our original grain and grass, if we get replenished in Huangzhou. Three or five years is not a problem. If we stick to Huangzhou, we can still open up land for farming in the Huangzhou territory, and grain and grass will be continuously replenished!" Xie Nantian replied affirmatively.
"What do you mean, if we come across the situation I said. Are you going to prepare to defend Huangzhou?" Feng Liang saw what I meant.
"The route that Xie Nantian proposed to us is the best route, and we will spend more time and encounter more unknown risks if we take other routes!" I looked at Feng Liang. "When we arrive in Huangzhou, if an accident happens, we put the world-famous General Feng Liang, what are we afraid of? That is, he is surrounded on all sides, and we can all deal with it!"
"If this kind of accident happens, I will not let it!" Feng Liang was honestly polite.
"Yes, let the imperial court know the consequences of losing you Feng Liang!" Xie Nantian said to Feng Liang, "Let them regret what a wrong decision they made!"
I looked at Xie Nantian with admiration, Xie Nantian had already thought of a solution, so he proposed to take this route.
Fortunately, I found him, and he was the biggest gain in my capital.
"We've had enough of the anger of the imperial court, and if they don't know how to learn, we'll make him pay!" Feng Liang said firmly.
"Okay, let's set off with a big army, first meet the families of General Feng and the others, and then rush to Huangzhou!" I waved at the two of them.
Xie Nantian and Feng Liang commanded the army and acted all the way.
Hanhan and I sat on Meimei's back, following above the army, watching for signs of accidents around us that might happen at any time.
The rescue of Feng Liang was successful, and this time, the army did not rush at full speed and converged with the family members. Walk during the day, rest at night, and move neatly.
There was nothing to do all the way, and I arrived at the boundary of Huangzhou.
The counties and towns of Huangzhou were not garrisoned by new generals appointed by the imperial court, and the army went to the city of Honju in Huangzhou.
As soon as I arrived in Huangzhou, I sent Feng Liang to lead an army of 80,000 to defend the four city gates, and let Xie Nantian occupy the military camp with the army.
There were only a few guards in the barracks, there were no troops, and all the 300,000 troops were stationed in the barracks and began to settle in the Huangzhou barracks.
"We have 380,000 troops here, and we are not afraid of anyone! But we must be prepared to deal with a possibility!" I said to Xie Nantian.
"I think we should reorganize the army immediately!" Xie Nantian followed my words.
"You're right!" I replied to Xie Nantian, "This is what we are going to do soon!"
The 380,000 horses in the army include Xie Nantian's descendants, the armies of King Qinshan, King Gong and King Xian, the army of Tong Qinghai, the army from the north gate of the capital that night, and Feng Liang's army.
These armies are mixed together, and many aspects need to be adjusted and unified.
When rescuing Feng Liang, in order to be in a hurry, he didn't have time to do this, and now it is just in time to integrate these troops during the recuperation period in Huangzhou.
"Unify these 380,000 troops, from low to high, appoint generals, and completely transform their thinking, so that these 380,000 troops can be integrated!" Xie Nantian's thoughts did not coincide with mine.
"After adjustment, conduct unified training, otherwise they are just a rabble, and they will not be useful!" I added along Xie Nantian's train of thought, "Strive to quickly improve their combat effectiveness!"
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. After returning to the west, I still have to think about building an army to deal with Qin Xiaotian's elephant cavalry.
"Okay! If these 380,000 troops are fused together, not to mention that the imperial court will attack, it will be more than enough to gallop the world!" Xie Nantian said with a smile.
"This kind of thing will be left to you, you and Feng Liang have a good discussion and build our army of 380,000 well!" I said to Xie Nantian.
"I'm going to ask Feng Liang and his subordinate generals to discuss in the barracks hall!" Xie Nantian began to instruct the soldiers around him.
"You discuss, I'll go to the Assassin's Mansion!" I shook my head at Xie Nantian, stopping Xie Nantian's idea of pulling me to the barracks hall.
"Assassin Mansion?" Xie Nantian was puzzled.
"We are here with an army of 380,000, the people must be panicking, I am going to find the Lord Thorn Shi here to post a notice and make a list of the people!" I explained to Xie Nantian.
This kind of thing is best seen by the history of the Honshu assassin.
"Well, if you think about it thoroughly, you don't want to appease the people, and the people are afraid that there will be civil strife!" Xie Nantian said.
I nodded, said goodbye to Xie Nantian, and came to the street in addition to the barracks.
The people on the street were talking, and I listened and walked, and asked a common man about the location of the Assassin's Mansion. The man gave me a strange look and pointed me in the right direction.
I walked down the street to the Thorn Mansion. There wasn't even a person on the street in front of the Assassin's Mansion. There was silence in front of the mansions, and there were two guards standing with sticks for the servants in their hands.
I looked around the street and stepped up the steps of the Assassin's Mansion, Han Han following behind me.
"Where did you come from, what do you want to do?" the guards at the two doors have been watching me and Hanhan since I walked up the street with Hanhan. This time, I was going to go to the house, and I stopped Han Han and me, and looked me and Han Han up and down viciously.
Han Han had been wearing that human skin mask on his face, and they couldn't see anything.
"I want to see you assassin Lord Shi, please report it!" I didn't get angry at the guard's attitude. That's the way it is for the gatekeepers. It is their duty to stop people.
"Lord Thorn Shi has been in trouble lately, and I don't see any guests!" said one of the guards in a strange way, and the other guard reached out and pushed me down the steps.
This man clearly has kung fu in his hands.
I didn't resist and retreated.
Han Han lifted the hat on his head, revealing his big mouth, baring his teeth and glaring at the guard, wanting to step forward.
I stood in front of Han Han and stopped Han Han.
"I have business to see you adults, please let me know!" I stepped back to the bottom of the steps, staring at the guard who pushed me.
"What are you talking about?" the guard glared at me unceremoniously, not seeing the innocent expression.
"Didn't you see anyone sent by the court?" my tone began to turn cold.
"The court is in chaos, where is the court now? Go and go, and then I will rub you into the prison, and let you squat in the prison for the rest of your life!" the guard raised the stick in his hand, and it seemed that if I asked any more, his stick would be ready to pick up on me at any time.
A gatekeeper not only knows kung fu, but also knows that the court is in chaos? (To be continued......)
