"Okay, now that the matter of establishing the crown prince has been resolved, let's talk about the current situation. My brother-in-law probably didn't expect that Suolong Pass would be taken over so easily, right? The current situation is beyond original expectations. With Suolong Pass in hand,
Wei does not need to allocate too many troops, so what should we do next?" Wei Qian asked seriously.
"Your Majesty, if you want to answer what to do, your Majesty can answer a question first. If the army of Chu State regroups and marches north to invade our territory of Yue State, what do you think will happen to the people of Yue State?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I, the Wei family, replaced the Zhang family as the head of the Yue Kingdom. At first, I was also worried about the instability of the government. At that time, I was worried day and night that if the army was defeated, the dynasty might change. Until now, after recuperating and recuperating in the past few years, the Yue Kingdom
The people are now completely compliant." Wei Qian said truthfully. After he finished speaking, he seemed to have realized something, and continued: "There are more than a dozen counties in the northwest and southwest, all of which are vast and sparsely populated, and people's hearts are not so compliant with Daxia.
, but in the north of the Wei State, there is Zanglong Mountain, and there is fertile land to the north of the Zanglong Mountain. From the Wei State to the original north of the Wu State, the nine counties in the north of the mountain are all wealthy places, and the people's hearts have always been attached to Daxia, but for Shannan
Many of us despise them and regard them as barbarians, so the Wei Kingdom is different from other countries. My brother-in-law means that they will never have such a good life." Wei Qian indicated.
"There will definitely be some results at first, but it will soon be delayed. As long as we keep our troops stationary, I think Prince Rong will come to Yue soon. At that time, His Majesty can ask Daxia to send troops to Wuwei and Jueyu.
The pass will be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for you sending troops to Zhang Xin." Lin Haoming said.
"Although those two passes are like Suolong Pass, they are also two of the seven passes of Zanglong. Will Xiaoxia use them more than once?" Sun Zan didn't believe it.
Lin Haoming immediately said: "Of course, Zhu Feiling stretches for thousands of miles, and there are only seven trails in the middle. Suolong Pass is because the trails are the most common, so the pass can only be built at this place, but the other eight are not. You want to
If there are two buildings, Xiaoxia will naturally build another one at Xiaoxia's end, which will ensure our danger. Of course, that matter will probably require the left prime minister to send an envoy to Xiaoxia."
"If Zhang Xin guards Suolong Pass, Xiaoxia will have a way to go south." Sun Zan thought for a moment and said.
"That's why we need to delay and let Zhang Xin's small army retreat into Xiaoxia. As long as they fall into retreat, it is not the worst time for you to send troops. For Xiaoxia, Zhu Feiling is a natural danger. As long as we take back Suolong Pass, we are afraid of you, and you also
You can't default to giving up Suolong Pass to Xiaoxia when the time comes, so Xiaoxia's side will definitely cooperate with you." Lin Haoming said.
"In other words, Xiaoxia also has to swallow up your conspiracy. If you want to seize Zhang Xin's land, Xiaoxia also has to help you, because you are the only one who can help Xiaoxia relieve the pressure. As for you, you would have become a threat to Xiaoxia in the past.
This is what happened in the past. If it succeeds, then you can use Zhu Feiling as the boundary and occupy the seventy-seven counties in the south, which is enough to disqualify Xiao Xia from claiming the throne." Song Zheng became more and more excited as he spoke.
Lin Haoming also nodded silently at this time. In fact, I can see further, but there is nothing bad to say at first sight, because maybe cooperation is needed, and Lin Haoming will never have anyone to cooperate with him.
Sun Zan made an effort to stay and then rejected Hingshan's resignation at the last court meeting. Before I resigned, Sun Zan did not follow the usual practice of promoting Ning Lin to right minister, but asked Zanglongshan to step down as marshal.
position, serving as right minister.
When Ning Lin went to Xiaoxia, Lin Haoming also specially asked Xiong Bailing to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives, and persuaded the King of Chu to send troops to Song Zheng County occupied by Zhang Xin to attack Zhang Xin from all sides.
More than ten days before the Xiaochao meeting, Sun Zan took advantage of the birthday of his biological mother, who was also the Queen Mother, to directly announce the appointment of Wei Nao as the prince, granting him the right to open the East Palace, and concurrently serve as the commander of the imperial army. At the same time, he conferred the title of Wei Nao as the new army.
commander in chief.
This result made many people angry and sad. At the first court meeting before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Pingshan wrote a letter to resign and return to his hometown.
At that time, Xiaoxia was still sitting still, and Prince Rong immediately rushed to the Yue Kingdom.
Along with the changes in the court, Sun Zan also promoted some new talents. At the same time, the training of soldiers and the allocation of food and grass were also used up. Everything was brewing for the small war a long time ago.
There was no movement in the country of Yue. As Lin Haoming expected, Xiaoxia immediately sent an envoy to ask the country of Yue to send troops to attack Zhang Xin. However, Sun Zan held off because he had just appointed the crown prince and the court was stable. He delayed it for two months. Zhang Xin used
They entered seven or eight hundred miles away from Xiaoxia for the first time and occupied fourteen cities in eight counties of Shanbei, close to the north of Zhang Xin.
While the Yue State was building up its troops, it was negotiating with Zhang Xin. First, Ning Lin sent Xiao Xia as envoy, and finally confirmed everything Lin Haoming had originally envisioned.
In Sun Zan's eyes, since before Wang Jiangman became ill, there are now only eight small commanders left in the Xiaoyue Kingdom, namely Lin Haoming, Canglongshan and Jiang Heng. Among them, Lin Haoming is a congenital low hand and has a longer lifespan, while Jiang Heng is younger than Wei Nao.
They are much younger and can be considered peers. Now that Wei Guo has been replaced, when Song Zheng can truly take charge of his own role, Lin Haoming will gradually step in.
Xiong Xuzhi rested and recuperated for several years before the minor defeat of the Chu State, which greatly allowed the Chu State to regain its strength. If Wei Qian County was regained, it would naturally leave the Chu State with less room for maneuver. As for the Yue State, it would also become even weaker.
In my opinion, it is not a conspiracy, because for the Chu State, it only relies on the eight counties south of Hengshui, and has to face the consumption of the southern barbarians. If there is not the rich land of Wei Qian County, the Chu State will always have
The method is used again.
So before winter, Xiaoxia, Yue and Chu suddenly sent out troops at the same time. Xiaoxia attacked Song Zheng's soldiers in several counties in Shannan, and did everything possible to cut off our way back to Zhu Feiling, and Wei Guo was the head coach for the first time.
, attacking Song Zheng from Wu'an County, directly breaking through Zhang Xin's east defense line, directly inserting Zhang Xin's retreat into Song Zheng's Zhenmai channel, and suddenly cut off Zhang Xin's small army from the southern end of Zhu Feiling, so that he was completely locked inside Zhu Feiling
Zhang Xin's garrison at Longguan was trapped to death, and the Chu State's Northern Expedition to Wei Qian County allowed the Song Dynasty to take care of both ends. In an instant, Zhang Xin's situation slowly turned around and it was possible that it would not completely collapse. The reason why Sun Zan was like this was fundamentally still
I directly consecrated Wei Han as the Prince of Pingjiang and asked me to go to Song Zheng's side. This would cause chaos in the court, and Zanglongshan was also an old prince. As the right minister, I was the most suitable manpower to take over Wei Han.
Of course, an important reason for stabilizing the court was to give military power to Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Before discussing with Lin Haoming, Sun Zan then met with more than a dozen courtiers in just a few days, and also discussed with Zanglongshan for half the night. Sun Zan's actions also made the atmosphere in the entire royal capital become extremely depressing.
