The death of Emperor Duan caused quite a stir throughout the world.

According to the instructions before his death, Emperor Duan was buried in the imperial mausoleum of the Jin Dynasty.

It became the first palace built on the ground in the world.

There were very few burial objects, mainly because they were afraid that they would be stolen if they were buried on the ground.

The new emperor's words and deeds quickly reached Zhao Changqing's ears.

He smiled and said to Zhuge Liang and others beside him: "This guy named Changsun Chong must be scared."

Zhuge Liang worried: "To capture Duan Guo, we need to have a good reputation. The new emperor of Duan Guo will succeed and show a sincere attitude toward our country. Do we still need to continue the established strategy?"

Zhao Changqing said: "Looking at Duan Guo's attitude, I have an immature idea in my heart."

Zhuge Liang asked: "I wonder what your Majesty means?"

Zhao Changqing said: "You will know then."

Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifteenth year of the Taichu calendar.

Duan Guo sent envoys to Wei State.

Zhao Changqing received him in person.

In the presence of hundreds of civil and military officials, he signed an alliance with Duan Guo.

Previously, Emperor Duan, who had just taken office, unilaterally tore up the agreement between Tang and Duan, despite the opposition of his ministers.

Zhao Changqing changed strategic policy.

Bai Qi was ordered to be the leader of the first legion, with Li Cunxiao as the vanguard and leader of 300,000 troops.

Yue Fei was appointed as the leader of the second army, with Huo Qubing as the vanguard and leader of 300,000 troops.

Xiao Yuming was ordered to be the leader of the second army, with Xiang Yu as the vanguard and leader of 300,000 troops.

He appointed Cao Cao as the grain and grass officer, leading an army of 100,000, and was responsible for transporting grain and grass to the borders of Duan Kingdom and Liang Kingdom.

Three major legions, known as a million-strong army, began to declare war on the Liang Kingdom.

The new emperor Duan Guo reached a consensus with the 300,000 troops left behind by Chen Qingzhi, and together they watched every move of Tang State.

Before the two countries reached an alliance, Zhao Changqing wrote a letter in person and asked everyone in Jin Yiwei to hand it over to Emperor Duan.

Like letting them contain the movements of the Tang army for Wei.

The state of Wei agreed and handed over half of the country of Liang.

Emperor Duan believed Zhao Changqing's lies.

Because even if Zhao Changqing did not ask Duan Guo for help at the expense of Liang State's territory, Duan Guo would help Wei State. After all, Zhao Changqing gave Duan Guo a precious wealth of 60 million taels.

This is equivalent to the total tax revenue of Duan Guo in three years.

The profits were so huge that Emperor Duan did not hesitate to offend Tang and cooperate with Wei.

After all, if Tang State wanted to attack Wei State, it would also cross Duan State's territory.

If anything happens to Tang's army then, Duan Guo will be the one who suffers.

It would be better to make it clear in advance that no matter what the reason is, the Tang army cannot be allowed to cross Duanguo.

The main reason why Zhao Changqing did this was to give Duan Guo some reassurance. If the Tang State's army really came, it would not require much effort from you Duan Guo. All that was needed was that you Duan Guo should not collude with the Tang State.

Emperor Duan didn't care so much, he only cared about the immediate interests.

Regarding the Tang army, he had repeatedly told his own troops that if there was an invasion, let Wei shoot the first arrow, and his own troops would only need to assist.

If Wei's army cannot defeat Tang, then Duan Guo will gather heavy troops to attack.

In the Xuanzheng Palace.

Zhuge Liang is reporting on the preparations of Bai Qi and others.

Zhao Changqing is concentrating on writing.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's report, Zhao Changqing just nodded lightly.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Your Majesty, is the plan you mentioned originally the same as Duan Guo?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "Is my layout method so superficial?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know what your Majesty means..."

Zhao Changqing wrote four big characters on a piece of rice paper, 'Three Kingdoms stand in triplicate'.

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized.

The next day.

Zhao Changqing came to Xu Jiao's residence.

Xu Jiao was a little curious and asked: "I used to come here once a year, why are you here now, only half a year apart?"

Zhao Changqing joked: "I'm afraid you'll go crazy."

Xu Jiao became angry and said: "Don't worry, I will kill you before I go crazy."

Zhao Changqing sat down in the courtyard where Xu Jiao lived. Through the door, he sighed to Xu Jiao in the room: "Oh, it's just a pity. I don't know if you can kill me, but you, Liang Kingdom, are destined to be killed by me."

.”

Xu Jiao looked anxious, rushed out of the door, looked at Zhao Changqing, frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Changqing stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said: "I have formed three major legions, with a total of one million troops, gathered at the door of your Liang Kingdom. As long as I give an order, your Liang Kingdom will be captured by me.

Destroy!"

"An army of one million?"

Xu Jiao felt timid.

This is an army of millions!

She knows the Liang Kingdom’s military strength best.

But how many men and horses does the Liang Kingdom have?

Xu Jiao tried hard to calm down and asked Zhao Changqing seriously, "Are you really going to decide to do this?"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with, what's more, I am the king. I have already made up my mind to not destroy your country of Liang this time, and I vow not to retreat."

Xu Jiao gritted her teeth and said: "You will definitely regret it. As long as you dare to invade the Liang Kingdom even half a step, our Liang Kingdom's army will definitely make your Wei army officers suffer!"

Zhao Changqing sneered and said: "I have no other intention in telling you this. I just hope that you can understand in your heart that if you don't tell the situation about the mysterious forces behind you, I will definitely attack the Liang Kingdom. However, if you

If you tell me, I can promise you to negotiate peace with Liang. If you still don't want to tell me, then I will let you stay in Wei for the rest of your life and make you suffer."

Xu Jiao said with palpitations: "You are really a cruel person."

Zhao Changqing said: "If I were not ruthless, the person who ascended the throne would not be me."

Early September in the fifteenth year of Taichu.

The army was assembled and launched an attack on Liang Kingdom.

Emperor Xu Fengyun of the Liang Kingdom personally took charge of the expedition and had an attitude of fighting to the death with the Wei army.

Because Zhao Changqing was worried about Li Yijun's wise strategy, he specially sent Jia Xu to the front line to assist the leaders of the three legions in the joint battle against Liang.

This time the Liang Kingdom went out in full force.

Xu Fengyun and Li Yijun pulled the entire army into Luoxia Valley, preparing to confront the Wei army head-on.

However, the three armies of Wei State marched from three different directions. In order to prevent Wei State from taking advantage of them, Xu Fengyun and Li Yijun had no choice but to divide their forces.

This time, they took out all their wealth and had a total of 500,000 troops.

It's called eight hundred thousand.

Xu Fengyun led 300,000 cavalry and was responsible for wiping out the main force of Wei.

Li Yijun was responsible for resisting the invasion of the Wei army, and the division of labor was clear, so that there was a possibility of victory.

In front of Luoxia Valley, Xu Fengyun prepared to pursue Yue Fei's tribe, so he sent out troops in advance. Before leaving, Li Yijun said to him: "Your Majesty, Yue Fei has always been known for his strict military management. Your Majesty must never confront him head-on. At present, we

What the Liang Kingdom should do most is to preserve its strength and fight against the enemy step by step."

Xu Fengyun nodded in agreement and said, "Military advisor, you can rest assured. If Feng Yun goes away, the Wei army will be frightened and they will never dare to invade our Daliang."

Afterwards, he led the army and set off.
