Seeing that Wang Yue had already made a plan, Cao Changqing felt relieved. He saluted Wang Yue, turned around and left.
He is now looking forward to the early peace of the world, so that the Queen of Chu will no longer have an excuse to refuse.
Wang Yue didn't know what Cao Changqing was thinking. He only paid attention to the major events in the world. In fact, it turned out as he imagined.
Because the Xia Kingdom did not move its troops, Beimang and Beiliang had a big war in Liucheng. However, the scale was so large that it was obviously not a national war.
The Liyang royal family, who breathed a sigh of relief, also started a new move. The new emperor named his brother Zhao Wu, a good contender for the throne, as the king of Liao. There was an army of 300,000 people led by General Gu Jiantang. This
Brother, it’s difficult to take action.
The king arranged for his brother Zhao Wu, his second brother Zhao Wen, to be sent to the south of the Yangtze River, mainly because his brother liked to write and write. It seemed suitable, but it was close to King Guangling and adjacent to Emperor Wu's city, so it was basically not suitable for him.
There is no possibility of development.
Immediately afterwards, the new emperor named his third brother the King of Han and his fifth brother Zhao Hong as the King of Yue. The youngest brother stayed in Kyoto.
At the same time, the new emperor Zhao Zhuan was preparing to divert domestic attention and further divide Beiliang under the guise of revenge for the emperor. He ordered King Chen Zhibao of Shu and King Yanla of Jingan to speed up their attack on Xia Kingdom.
However, King Yanla, King Jing'an and Xia Guo all had a tacit understanding. Both sides were almost pretending, waving flags and shouting, but they didn't do anything serious at all, but they just fell into the new emperor's trick.
Because of the ineffective attack, the two princes were reprimanded by successive decrees, and the ministers they arranged in the court were also reprimanded.
It's just that the two princes are not vegetarians. They used the lack of soldiers as an excuse to write letters one after another requesting more troops. Later, they even used the excessive battlefield losses as an excuse to expand the scope of the conscription beyond their own fiefdoms and into other states.
county.
In fact, at this time, the other vassal princes also increased their troops and horses, but they were not as obvious as these two princes.
Chen Zhibao fought several battles with the Xia navy at the Shu River at the junction of Yongzhou and Shuzhou. However, the Beiliang soldiers and horses in his hands were all landlubbers, and they were obviously no match for him. He could only use the excuse of training the navy to delay the war.
Go down.
The reason why he did this was not because he knew that Wang Yue could resurrect Wu Su. After all, this was still a small-scale secret.
He did this because Beiliang was at war with Beimang Dong Zhuo in Juzizhou, and he did not want to create unfavorable conditions for Beiliang to start a war together.
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo is also a master. In order to take advantage of the battle with Xu Fengnian to tame the disobedient tribes under his command, this battle continued for more than three years, and then Xu Fengnian finally retreated to Daomaguan and Beimang.
Retaking the remaining city ends.
In fact, based on Dong Zhuo's wishes, he still didn't want to end it. However, Beimang's spies learned that the vassal king inside Liyang seemed to be making some moves, so he ended the military training.
Xu Fengnian also knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but he had no choice. In addition, he needed to gain prestige in the army, so he had no choice but to fight Dong Zhuo.
However, he was not without gains. After three years of war, he gained the recognition of the people in Youzhou and Fengzhou, and also gained the recognition of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who participated in the war. He was no longer the disgusting prince he used to be.
Your Highness.
…
Two Liao Dynasties, Liao Prince's Mansion
Gu Jiantang came to the Liao Prince's Mansion again. It was as if he was entering his own home. He didn't even bother to report, so he just barged in.
When he arrived at the Juxian Pavilion and saw King Zhao Wu of Liao, he stopped, bowed perfunctorily and asked, "King of Liao, I wonder how you are thinking about it?"
Of course, Zhao Wu knew that Gu Jiantang was not so kind, so he kept pushing him again and again in the past three years, but he felt that Gu Jiantang was getting more and more irritable. If he refused again, he would be controlled directly.
He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then asked, "General, are you really sure? You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Gyeonggi, and it is not that easy to deal with."
Gu Jiantang saw that Zhao Wu finally spoke out, and he said solemnly, "Don't worry, those old soldiers in the capital are no match for our soldiers from the two Liaos. As long as the prince gives the order, we will definitely help
Your Highness seizes the imperial city."
Zhao Wu looked at Gu Jiantang sharpening his sword and was mocking his fourth brother for being so blind that he let such a guy watch him. This was like shooting himself in the foot.
He didn't have time to feel sorry for his fourth brother, so he pretended to be embarrassed and asked, "General, what is the reason for us to lead our troops back to the imperial city?
My fourth brother's throne has been approved by the ministers in the court and has gone through normal procedures. Once we take action, I am afraid it will be regarded as rebellion."
Gu Jiantang said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty is really worrying too much, even though the late Emperor also intended to make the Fourth Prince the Crown Prince before he died, and even liked the Fourth Prince more.
But after all, His Highness is the eldest son. Whether he is the eldest son or not, it should be you. This is in line with the rules left by our ancestors.
Therefore, we only need to question whether the ministers in the DPRK are colluding with the fourth prince, and we have reason to lead troops back to the imperial capital."
The reason why he did this was because in the past three years, the infiltration of the two Liaos by North Korea and China had become more and more serious, which made him feel that if he waited any longer, he might not have the final say in the two Liaos.
Zhao Wu was unwilling to give in. He had been constantly rubbed by Gu Jiantang in the past two or three years, and his last firmness finally dissipated. He was determined to take risks with him to fight for the throne.
He gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "In that case, I'll leave everything to the general!"
The armies of the two Liaos were originally elite, and their strength was only slightly weaker than that of Beiliang. In addition, the two Liaos were already close to the capital, and the capital's land became in danger.
If this is the case, the new emperor is not so anxious. Although the army led by the eldest prince is very aggressive, it is not easy to break through the heavily guarded fortress in the capital.
The new emperor was most worried about Beiliang at this time. He was worried that Xu Fengnian would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he arranged heavy troops to defend Tongguan in Hezhou.
What he didn't expect was that at this moment, Xu Xiao still stood still, but the princes in the south couldn't sit still.
First, King Guangling, under the banner of King Qin, sent his army into Yangzhou. Then King Jing'an sent his navy to capture Dengzhou.
With the two of them taking the lead, King Yanla's troops officially left southern Xinjiang and occupied Bazhou and Tangzhou.
Then came the other vassal kings. In addition to the Jiaodong King who had a good relationship with Xu Xiao, and the Shu King Chen Zhibao who stood still, the other vassal kings also began to take away the rights of the local state capital and began to control their entire fiefdoms and expand rapidly.
Soldiers and horses.
For a time, the entire Liyang Dynasty was in complete chaos. All the vassal kings were busy fighting for territory and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
As soon as the news reached the Xia Kingdom, Cao Changqing rushed to the palace to meet Wang Yue. He asked excitedly as soon as he opened his mouth, "Your Majesty, can we start?"
Wang Yue looked at Cao Changqing's excitement and knew why he was anxious, so he said helplessly, "I'm afraid we have to wait a while."
When Cao Changqing heard Wang Yue's words, he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, where is your heroic spirit in killing Tai'an City alone with a sword? What are you worried about this time?"
Wang Yue saw that Cao Changqing was so excited that he had forgotten some of his dignity, so he said helplessly, "I'm waiting for news about Deng Tai'a. He went to Longhu Mountain last time but failed. Everyone who participated in Longhu Mountain
, everyone who was still alive was killed by me in Tai'an City.
Therefore, he went to Beiliang Prince's Mansion this time to see if there was anyone there in Xu Xiao's place."
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Cao Changqing said with some uncertainty, "Then Xu Xiao and his adopted sons regard Wu Su as more important than their own lives. As long as you save Wu Su, then Beiliang Ten
Forty thousand cavalry and more than two hundred thousand elite infantry are all under His Majesty's command."
Wang Yue nodded and said with a smile, "So, let's not move for the time being. As long as we convince Beiliang and the old land of Western Chu rises again, we can work together to take down King Yanla.
Then, we will cooperate with Beiliang to capture the two states controlled by King Jing'an, and then we will sweep across King Guangling and capture these three, and the others will not be a problem."
Cao Changqing nodded and asked solemnly, "Don't you know that your majesty is sure?"
Wang Yue said calmly, "Uncle Cao, don't worry. As long as I can rush there in time, I can save Wu Su in Liyang."
Seeing that Wang Yue was so sure, Cao Changqing originally wanted to turn around and leave, but halfway through, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked doubtfully, "I remember that you seem to have medical skills, and now you have broken through the realm of heaven and man, why must you do this?"
If I want to go to Tai'an City to rescue Wu Su, can't I be treated by Wu Su at the Beiliang Prince's Mansion?"
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Not to mention, I really forgot, but I'm afraid Deng Tai'a will not forget. He was a little pity for Wu Su's talent in swordsmanship. He deliberately asked me to go at that time.
Saving Wu Su will also help preserve Wu Su's foundation."
Cao Changqing sighed and said helplessly, "I'm afraid, Mrs. Deng has more than just swords in her heart!"
Wang Yue knew what Cao Changqing was talking about, and it was because he was out of love. However, Wu Su was related to Deng Tai'a after all, so he did not mention this and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll ask Sweet Potato and Deng Tai'a
Qingniao, let’s see what the deep memories of these two people look like.”
Cao Changqing knew that Wang Yue could not help persuade Queen Chu, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "In that case, I will go to Luoxia Valley to have a look."
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly. After watching Cao Changqing leave, he went to find Hongshu in the harem and wanted to ask her if there was anyone who needed to be saved. If he saved someone, he could go to Wu Su to see a doctor.
