Nian Xu's mental state was a bit high. He first summoned officials from the New Deal faction, then those officials from the fence faction, and finally summoned some generals of the Forbidden Army.
According to outside analysis, the emperor wanted to consolidate his power.
The power is consolidated internally, and Han Bi leads an army to support externally...
"Why is this so tense?" Wang Ju was a little worried about the deterioration of the situation. "Don't wait for the war to start. The civil war in Bianjing will come first."
Peng Jing and others immediately went to memorial and begged for the bones.
Naturally, Nian Xu would not allow Peng Jing and others to submit memorials again...
The emperor has shown his suspicion. If he doesn't make a gesture, he will be criticized by the outside world as a powerful official. Those censors are waiting for the opportunity to become famous. Once Peng Jing and others reveal their flaws, they will pounce on them and bite them.
Nian Xu was elated and said to the queen in the palace: "The Great Zhou Dynasty has been raising scholars for hundreds of years, and it will eventually make Peng Jing and others afraid."
The queen said worriedly: "I just don't know how the war will turn out."
"No need to worry, Han Bi is here." The emperor said, "Even if we are defeated, we can still retreat and defend Yingshui."
"How long will it take?"
"Guanzhong has not been settled and Li Mi is still in Shu. How can the King of Qin stay in the south for a long time? Once the war is protracted, he will definitely return to Guanzhong. After that, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will regain his homeland step by step. If Li Mi can succeed in the counterattack, the Great Zhou Dynasty will
They can even make a comeback and go south to seize southern Xinjiang."
Nian Xu felt so relaxed that he seemed to be floating, "Where is Ziyue?"
"I've been here before and looked a little uneasy."
…
Nian Ziyue was reading a book, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Ziyue!"
The emperor and empress came hand in hand.
"Father, mother!" Nian Ziyue stood up and saluted.
"What book are you reading?"
Nian Xu picked up the book that was upside down on the table, "Novel? It can't be about a talented person and a beautiful woman, right?"
Nian Ziyue shook his head, "Talented men and beautiful women are all deceivers."
"It's good that you know." Nian Xu said with a smile: "As long as this battle is over, I will definitely find a satisfactory prince-in-law for you!"
Nian Ziyue thought of the young man from Pingkangfang for no reason.
Now, the young man who led the army is about to approach Bianjing.
Time flies, but she is waiting for the consort in the palace.
After the emperor left, Nian Ziyue walked out. She stood outside for a long time and said softly: "Back then, you said you would come to Bianjing to see me one day. Did you come with a large army?"
…
The army was marching slowly.
"Your Highness, Han Bi's army is approaching Yongzhou!" The scout brought the movements of Han Bi's army.
"Sure enough, Han Bi wants to fight our army decisively with Yongzhou behind him!" Han Ji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The war is coming, I can't wait."
The old thief coughed dryly, "Mr. Han, do you want to go into battle?"
"Haha!" Han Ji laughed. He went into battle to seek death.
That night, the army camped more than fifty miles away from Yongzhou.
Scouts from both sides kept coming and going, trying to harass the other side.
Li Xuan received many letters during the day, all from the direction of Chang'an.
Liu Qing, Cao Ying, and uncle at home...
King Qin handed the letters from home to A Liang and opened his uncle's letters himself.
In the letter, my uncle said that after their family arrived in Chang'an, they were well accommodated, but it was too luxurious and made him feel a little uncomfortable. Then he asked worriedly, and finally said, "You are still young and the world is big! We are not in a hurry."
This was the loving heart of an elder. King Qin smiled slightly and asked, "What did your mother-in-law say?"
"My mother asked about Aye's health, and then asked me. She also said that my brother beat someone to tears again, which gave her a headache."
"Why!"
"Why!"
The father and son sighed in unison.
Li Laoer is as powerful as King Wei when he was born with supernatural power, but it is even worse.
The two pets at home stayed away from him for fear of being beaten. He did not dare to attack his parents, but his brother A Liang was often teased by him when playing with him.
King Qin opened Liu Qing's letter.
Liu Qing had been in Chang'an for a while, and from time to time he invited some powerful family heads to drink, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be good at dancing.
The King of Qin knew that Lao Liu was trying to appease those people.
People are in panic, which is not conducive to the stability of Guanzhong.
Liu Qing mentioned in his letter that there was a rebellion in his hometown of Northern Liao, which was immediately suppressed. More than 10,000 people were killed in this battle, and all of them were built as temples in the capital, which aroused a lot of dissent.
Some people say that the hometown of Northern Liao is now under the Tang Dynasty, and they should not be dealt with in the same way as foreigners.
As a result, the general who commanded the suppression was impeached, and Tan Zhang was expected to be in the army in a few days.
King Qin looked back.
I saw a familiar name.
Zhen Siwen!
He couldn't help but think of Changling mother and son.
I don't know what happened to them, but I asked Zhen Siwen to provide support, so I think I can stabilize the situation.
He continued to look back and saw that Old Liu indeed mentioned Changling.
——There was a rebellion in the western frontier of the hometown of Northern Liao Dynasty, which was defeated by Changling, the eldest princess. Zhen Siwen happened to lead his army passing by and intercepted and killed all the rebels.
It just so happens that this word is used well.
The corners of King Qin's mouth turned up slightly, thinking that the silly woman didn't know if she regretted it.
Women want to save face, how about writing more letters to persuade?
That night, King Qin slept soundly.
But Han Bi stayed up all night.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is only fifty miles away. Tomorrow's scout battle will be particularly fierce."
Chen Guanyi changed his flattering look and said solemnly: "The stakes in this battle are very important. Prime Minister Han, even if all the army is killed, he still has to repel the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"I know." Han Bi closed his eyes and waved his hand unconsciously, "Let's all go!"
Everyone left. After a long time, Han Bi opened his eyes and saw that Chen Guan was still there.
"Prime Minister Han, are you having trouble?" Chen Guan asked.
"I don't know how this battle will turn out. My wife, children, and children at home..." Han Bi suddenly covered his forehead, "What do you want me to do with this?"
It would be unlucky to say this before a war.
"You are thinking too much." Chen Guan sighed, "You are fighting for the country, so your Majesty will naturally not give you chills."
But Sun Shi has learned from the past!
When the emperor felt something was wrong, he would throw his ministers out to take the blame.
In this aspect, Nian Xu and Li Mi are particularly similar.
Han Bi stared at the candlelight blankly and said slowly: "Back then, I had good relations with Peng Jing and others. At that time... I was only in my thirties. We drank together, went to brothels to pursue famous prostitutes, and went out of the city together.
We hunted and swore together to revitalize the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that our lives would not be in vain. But time has passed, and they have gone further and further on the road to power..."
"They betrayed their original oath." Han Bi slowly looked at Chen Guan, "When your Majesty summoned Sun Shi and the old man, he said that I would change the suppression of warriors by our ancestors. But to this day, the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still
They are like pigs and dogs. I know that Huang Chi is the most fierce. How could people like this surrender the enemy without any resistance?"
"Maybe it's for other reasons!" Chen Guan's heart beat wildly when he heard these secrets.
"What could be the reason? Ma Qun, the magistrate of Xinzhou, despises warriors the most. He suppressed Huang Chi for a long time. Huang Chi's return must be related to his suppression. What I regret most is that I should have taken Ma Qun away at that time.
"
"Then you have to nod towards the center!"
"What time is it? In the middle of the court, a group of idiots in the middle of the court are thinking about how to force the palace and how to kill me!"
The two faced each other in silence.
Until the morning light comes again.
Han Bi stood up and staggered. He held on to the eucalyptus table and laughed at himself: "I'm old. I could sit down all night and still be able to jump up."
Chen Guan took a long time to get up, but his feet were numb.
Han Bi walked out and looked at the morning sun, with pleasure in his eyes, "It's so beautiful!"
"Enemy scouts attack!"
Amidst the shouting, a bloody day began...
The Southern Zhou Army began to move towards the right wing of Yongzhou City.
Guard general Zhao Shen came to ask for an audience.
"Just contain it!" Han Bi explained: "Of course, if the Northern Xinjiang army abandons the siege, they can leave the city and attack."
"yes!"
The army is in place.
"The day after tomorrow!"
Han Bi said: "The decisive battle the day after tomorrow!"
…
The Northern Xinjiang Army is advancing.
Along the way, we kept seeing the corpses of Southern Zhou Army scouts.
That day, when the scout war ended, Wang Laoer was covered in blood and complained that he was hungry as soon as he came back.
Someone counted the numbers.
"Your Highness, today's scout battle resulted in the death of more than a thousand people from the Southern Zhou Army."
"Where is our army?"
"More than eight hundred!"
"Hey!" King Qin was a little surprised, "What is the background of the other party?"
"Looking at the armor, they should be elite imperial guards."
"Aren't Nian Xu worried about rebellion?" Han Ji said with a smile: "With the monarch and his ministers breaking up, Peng Jing and the others have no way out. If they take risks, things will become lively."
"Do they still dare to kill the king?" He Lianrong shook his head, "The Southern Zhou Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty. There have been more and more civil unrest over the years, but I have never heard of anyone who dares to have different intentions."
"The Nian clan has not lost its virtue, and its foundation is still there!" King Qin said: "The Southern Zhou Dynasty likes to talk about persuading people with virtue. I will give it a try someday."
While Wang Laoer was removing his armor with Tu Shang's help, he said, "Your Highness likes to conquer people with a horizontal sword."
Everyone laughed.
On the second day, the army set off.
As the distance between Yongzhou and Yongzhou continued to shrink, the scouting battle between the two sides became more fierce.
Wang Laoer sent news in the afternoon.
"The Southern Zhou scouts were defeated!"
"Oh!" King Qin asked, "Why?"
"That batch of elites has been exhausted."
"It seems that those elites are the last strength of the Southern Zhou Dynasty." Han Ji said: "I guess Han Bi still has some in his hands, and Bianjing Nianxu still has some in his hands."
"The dignified Southern Zhou Dynasty is so shabby..." He Lianrong shook his head, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to use culture to control force. But even if you want to use culture to control force, you don't have to treat the warriors as pigs and dogs, right?"
"If a person has a dirty heart, he will look at the world and think that they are all dirty people. Where did the Southern Zhou come from? It was the military generals who rebelled." King Qin said: "In fact, from the time when the national policy of using civility to control military power was established, the Southern Zhou Dynasty came from
Today is destined."
There is no justice for immortality!
In the afternoon, the army was ten miles away from Yongzhou City.
"Set up camp!"
The King of Qin ordered a camp to be set up, and he took thousands of cavalry and one son to investigate in a mighty manner.
In the vast wilderness, teams of scouts are returning.
But after the meal, they still had to set off again, fighting with their opponents in the dark.
Until the two armies go to war, the scouts will be the masters of the battlefield.
"This is the scout." King Qin introduced the situation of the scout to his son.
"They are all heroes!" A Liang said seriously.
Wang Laoer came back, smiling and saying, "Your Highness, Da Langjun."
"How?" King Qin asked.
"I fought until I was three miles away from Hanbi Camp. More than ten thousand riders came over there, so I evacuated."
Wang Laoer was very proud.
You can already see Yongzhou City in the distance from here.
Under the setting sun, Yongzhou City is reflected in its splendor.
"A Liang, what do you think Yongzhou City looks like?" King Qin asked.
Ah Liang thought about it carefully.
"Like a big cauldron!"
When everyone took a look, they looked really alike.
King Qin nodded, "Tomorrow, my father will go get this big cauldron!"
