Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters letter county king
In the midsummer of June, even if the astronomical tides are very warm and humid, the wind and rain in the Xiazhou Mountains are still cool.
In ancient times, the mountains were high and mostly covered with haze, hence the name Xiazhou. There are many mountainous areas and plateaus and the economy is underdeveloped. It shares the benefit of the barrier of Beimang Mountain with Yingzhou.
Precisely because there are many mountain plains, many mountains and mountains, and many dragons and snakes live in the secluded places, the divine power is at its peak. There are hundreds of ancestral halls on the mountains, and many faithful men and women make pilgrimages every year.
At this time, an army in coir raincoats was marching on the official road in the mountains. In the middle was a young man, handsome and handsome, dressed in Tsinghua University, with a calm demeanor and heroic spirit, which made people feel good at first sight.
Between the clouds and peaks, one could hear the howling of apes and the strong wind. The man admired it for a while, then looked back at the crowd and said: "This is the chengyan pass that blocks the barrier. With this state barrier, Anzhou can become Anzhou."
The officials who followed knew what he meant, and they all praised him: "It's all thanks to the king's proper preparation that he can make great achievements."
The person's face looks like white jade, and the green aura lingers on the top, which gradually becomes wider and deeper. There is also a small group of lavender clouds sitting on it in the distance.
"The foundation of the king has been established" everyone who could see it was thinking secretly.
Green Qi is the noble Qi and the King Qi.
This destiny requires ruling a population of tens of millions and holding real power, so that it can be youthful. This will vary depending on the era.
The ancient king had a population of only a few million, and the emperor was only golden.
As the population multiplies, the king becomes young.
Up to now, the population has grown to hundreds of millions. Wen is the governor and Wu is the general. That's why they have this momentum.
There can be great writers and poets who have influenced tens of millions of people, but that kind of youthfulness is always thin and cannot form a climate.
Everyone was thoughtful, "King Xinjun is indeed a virtuous king and has good luck. The princes of the Qing Dynasty and the Marquises of Xiang and Han Dynasty competed for Xiangzhou, but the prince of Xinjun overturned the clouds and conquered Anzhou, unified Anzhou, and
I was able to blockade the Han princes, take control of Xiazhou, and actually control the two states, so I have this appearance."
"It's not surprising that this Zi Qi is a prince."
This person is the Prince of Xin County, who has been keeping a low profile recently. Because of the military order from the imperial court, he personally led the army into Xiazhou and began to inspect the area.
During the tripartite negotiations between Ye Qing, the Marquis of Xiang, and the King of Qing County, there was no Anzhou issue at all, but who would have expected that the peace talks would suddenly turn into a stalemate...
Except for the navy to lock the river and the governor of the state around Hunan, the princes can order the blockade, but not many can actually carry out land military threats. Who among them is strong and credible?
After hearing the praises of the ministers, King Xin was not too proud, but he was indeed very happy.
Thanks to the stalemate in the peace talks, it is not known whether the emperor's younger brother will be able to take back the three counties of northern Hunan in the end, but he has indeed obtained the benefits of Anzhou - the imperial decree has changed the sphere of influence from indirect influence to a legitimate one, and the prince's palace has jumped out of the place.
The power became a great vassal across states.
It can be said that Anzhou is the biggest local beneficiary in this whirlpool.
"However, the prince is planning to... enter Yingzhou?" An official looked into the distance, bowed deeply, and carefully considered his words before saying something like a reminder.
This person is Zhang Yi, who was originally the governor of Anzhou, but now he is the first minister in the prince's palace.
"Yingzhou?"
Prince Xin thought for a while, weighed it again, and resisted the temptation: "I don't want to have a head-on conflict with the Marquis of Han, or in other words, there is no need yet.
"The advantage of Qingde Immortal Marquis lies in timing, not in accumulation. Even if half of Xiangzhou is pacified... or even all of it, what will happen to the land of Yingxiang and the world? It is surrounded by desperate situations, locked up and trapped, and the prohibition of goods and materials is enough to consume it.
It was the first to rise.”
"Is this using a lot of accumulation to counteract its power? After two years, the surrounding states will become more powerful. After the weather is over, the Marquis of Han will be just an Immortal Marquis, lost to everyone, and still not allowed to bow to the imperial court?"
"Now that the Marquis of Han is in trouble, it is an opportunity for us to grow stronger. The imperial court's suppression is right in the overall situation. We cannot pretend to swallow Xiazhou, and we must do what needs to be done.
After hearing this, the generals all responded with relaxed expressions.
It is very stressful to go directly to the territory of an immortal lord to help suppress foreign ships. Fighting for it is justifiable, but if hundreds or even thousands of people are directly injured by accident, who will not be afraid if they come several times more?
"The land currently occupied by the two states has sufficient population and luck resources. It would be great if the Lord could transform himself into an immortal." A minister said with great expectation.
King Xinjun nodded, but said nothing. The earth veins are thick and the accumulation is thin. He has not caught up with the downwind of earth yanghua. It is really difficult to save. I am afraid that it will take several years to accumulate before the quality changes.
Of course, it would be hasty to digest Anzhou within a year, and it will take more time to digest Xiazhou again, so there is no rush.
"Sir, the camp set up by the former army is just ahead. The local governor Yu Fan has come to pay his respects. Do you want to receive him?"
"Yu Fan... is the person who has fought with the Marquis of Han for many years and is still alive?" Prince Xin became interested and said, "Then let's meet him."
At this time, Zhang Yi responded and led Prince Xin to continue walking forward. Prince Xin looked around and saw that the entire camp was very neat and orderly. Although it was temporary, there were wooden walls and watchtowers set up. There were patrolling soldiers not far away -
- He nodded with satisfaction and entered the tent.
With the instructions, Yu Fan soon followed Zhang Yi in.
I saw his own soldiers standing by, and Prince Xinjun sitting on the throne. He didn't look out of the ordinary, but the dark pupils in his eyes were shining, looking soft, and making people feel a kind of cold majesty at any time.
Yu Fan saluted and said, "I have met the prince."
Prince Xinjun nodded and said: "I am also a Jinshi. In fact, I have seen him in the imperial capital before - get up and sit down to talk."
"yes"
Yu Fan agreed and sat down.
Prince Xin seemed to be wearing the prefect's attire, looking majestic and heroic, but his face was sunburned and his eye frames were a little dark, showing that he was tired. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and smiled lightly: "How is the situation in the county? I heard that you have repeatedly
Breaking grass on the grassland?"
Yu Fan said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is a serious problem for this dynasty. This is obvious, and the prince is also very clear in his heart. Although I have little power, I cannot use the imperial salary for free, and I must gradually cut it off."
Although his voice was low, it was filled with murderous intent. Prince Xin frowned and thought: "If you say this, you have to pay attention to the method."
After asking a few words, Prince Xin turned to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Look at this bold prefect."
Zhang Yi admired Yu Fan in his heart and replied: "I once talked about this with the king. In fact, if there are more prefects like Yu Fan in the state, it will save the king and the court a lot of worry. What they are afraid of is virtuality."
You can't do anything if you're waiting for something to happen."
"That's all, it's dark, don't worry about it now." King Xinjun smiled and waved his hand, and asked some more about Xiangzhou and Yingzhou. Yu Fan remained respectful and answered them one by one.
After seeing the question, I remembered the recent rumors and couldn't help but ask: "When the prince asked about this, could it be that... there were some changes in the peace negotiations in Xiangzhou?"
"There has been no change, just a slight misunderstanding. The court is conducting a thorough investigation and the situation is still under control. All parties are very sincere." Prince Xin is very proficient in using political language in public.
In fact, it was said that He Tianming had committed suicide, and the princess's innocence could not be verified even after twelve hours. These are just small details. The key point is that Ye Qing's reaction to withdrawing from the scene was too extreme. The situation has reached a point where it is difficult to get over. For the sake of the dignity of the imperial court, it cannot admit defeat and must arouse the surrounding states.
oppress it...
Not to mention that the court is still looking forward to more, and it would be best to dig out the secrets in Ye Qing's hands.
His eyes flashed with heat, then he quickly covered them up, and clapped his hands: "Come here, let's have a banquet... Commander Yu, will you like to have a couple of drinks with me?"
"It's your honor."
For a while, food and wine were flowing up the stairs, and there were a lot of dancing girls. In fact, it was all arranged by the landlord Yu Fan, but since Prince Xin was here, it was like his own back garden. He watched it with interest and had a few drinks from time to time.
"Perhaps this is a gesture to express to me that I am a guest temporarily staying, and he is the master?" Yu Fan couldn't help but think in his mind, and suddenly felt a little depressed.
But recently, his mentality has become more down-to-earth, and his perspective has become sharper and broader. He soon discovered that Prince Xin's behavior didn't look like he was preparing for war?
Seeing this, he had some speculations in his mind. When he once again implicated Ye Qing, he took the opportunity to ask: "It is rumored that the Marquis of Han has a plan... Are you really going to let this person go to the East China Sea in the end?"
"It seems that Commander Yu doesn't like the Marquis of Han very much?"
Prince Xin smiled slightly, and after some observation, he understood.
And there are still some words that can be said. Now his eyes fell on the night sky, he shook the wine glass in his hand, and with a sneer, he gradually spoke some truth.
"It depends on the situation. At present, the court does not know the plans of the Han Hou, but the world belongs to the Cai Dynasty, especially the waterways. This is enough."
Yu Fan apologized and smiled thoughtfully.
He was a smart man and immediately understood that since the court was alert, it didn't matter even if he couldn't see Ye Qing's plan.
If it is suppressed directly, a loophole in Ye Qing's strategy will be exposed - the downstream waterway to the East China Sea is in the hands of Da Cai Chao, and his lifeline can be cut off at any time. Isn't it a simple matter to control it?"
Unless the Marquis of Han opens up the East China Sea on land, the naval force has reached the lower reaches of the Qianjing River, cutting off Yingzhou's food support to Xiangzhou and cutting off the population support of the corresponding state in Xiangzhou.
And the third, more critical point, the southern strategy from Xiangzhou to Xiaozhou is also unworkable. The north of Qianjing River is parallel to the Beimang Mountains, and the five states leading to the East China Sea are all mountainous. It is difficult to advance quickly. How can he still do it?
Just go through it from the north?
Since it monopolizes many of Ye Qing's lifelines, even if civil war is not allowed, and even if the foreign ships of the Ying Xiangdi Network can be driven into place, they still cannot bear the strategic losses caused by the blockade, and they have to return to the negotiating table...
We should only speculate based on the current situation, and we should not underestimate our opponents. Ye Qing is good at planning ahead, and he may not have a plan in this regard. The final concession will also depend on the balance of interests.
Then I heard Prince Xin say with a smile: "My brother has always been thinking about the three counties in northern Hunan. In fact, I feel that there is no need to force me. I feel that the Marquis of Han is still a minister of Da Cai, so just beating him can make Ye Qing offer his contribution to open up the East."
This is the strategic plan that is in short supply, this is where our great interests lie..."
"The Marquis of Han is able to exploit this power, but our dynasty cannot develop it? In fact, I also want to apply to visit the East China Sea..."
Does this mean there is no need to force you?
Yu Fan moved his lips but didn't really say anything. He felt quite emotional in his heart. This virtuous king who has been passed down to the world is much more ruthless than his younger brother who is devoted to cultivating Taoism. The Qingjun prince only focused on the small immediate profit of one-third of an acre of land.
Are you planning to seize Ye Qing's foundation to open up the Eastern Wilderness?
The strange thing is that he should be happy that his mortal enemy is in trouble, but he is also a native of Yingzhou, so he inevitably thinks that if he is in another position, he will not be able to come up with a solution. He can only be trapped for more than ten years and wait for the Cai Dynasty's power to weaken.
For a moment, he felt sad and his emotions were a little complicated. He asked Prince Xin to support him in opening up the grassland: "Your Majesty, I don't know what he thinks of the Mur tribe..."
"You want me to invest in your plan to advance north?"
Prince Xin showed a smile in his eyes, clapped his hands again, and asked someone to bring up the map of the situation in the North. The host and guest gathered together, whispering and plotting.
The lamp flickers, casting new shadows on the picture, and the undercurrent becomes more turbulent.
After passing Beiman Mountain, the wind and rain became much lighter. Even if the watermen in the northern states were begging their neighbors to transport cloud water to the grassland, the precipitation absorbed by Beiman Mountain still benefited the grassland greatly, and you can often see gaps in the clouds.
Cast sunshine.
“What a great place…”
Ye Qing looked at it and sighed. He didn't know the cold northern desert ahead, but this southern desert was suitable for half farming and half grazing, so it was truly worthy of a king.
Not long after, we arrived at the place, which seemed to be just a summer camp of the Murhan tribe. However, the protection at this time was not the guards of Murhan, but a group of more elite and professional elite soldiers, magicians and even real people. Basically, they were all
It is the practice of unifying Jin De.
This is indeed very sincere. There are only thousands of white-robed Tiger Guards surrounding a small white-gold tent in the middle, and there is no large army.
You must know that for the true immortals, without tens of thousands of troops united in a large formation, they cannot pose a threat. On this point, King Wei's attitude is still very sincere.
The whirlpool of national energy twists the destiny, hiding the shadow of the dragon, but at such a close distance, the instinctive sense between the dragon energy is unmistakable, and Ye Qing knows that King Wei is inside.
When he landed at the gate of the camp according to the etiquette of the alliance, a gaze penetrated the void, carrying a deep fairy aura.
"That's it." Nuwa frowned, fearful in her heart, she took two steps forward and got closer to Ye Qing, and said through her voice: "From now on, until I leave, I have to follow you every step of the way."
"...that's fine."
Ye Qing remained calm, took down the Xuanyuan Sword, and boldly entered the camp.
"Bah!" When they arrived at the military camp, the guards from the Baipao Palace branch all held their swords and gave way to the passage, watching the young people enter without any obstruction.
After entering the camp, they saw a golden tent in the middle, with a hundred guards or generals standing on the left and right, without even looking at Ye Qing.
At this time, a sturdy figure walked out accompanied by an old man in a golden plaid robe.
As soon as this man came out, the hundreds of soldiers "popped" and half-knelt down. At the same time, this man said: "The visit of the Marquis of Han is really brilliant. Please come into the tent and say something -"
The words were spoken in a low voice, and sounded very faintly like the sound of metal and stone. Looking around, I saw that this man was very different, sitting down with a purple aura.
Ye Qing just glanced at it and felt a little shocked in his heart. This was not false.
Generally speaking, anyone who can become the leader of a vassal, even if he has insufficient talent and bad luck, is basically light green. But this person's cloud is vast and covers all directions, and his whole body's luck is rich and pure green in his actions. In the deepest depth, there is a hint of pure blue.
Silk purple energy rose up and was suppressed almost immediately.
The strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty can be seen from this alone. It is only half a step away from Di Ge.
