Didn't the imperial decree say that it would be appropriate for Wang Yue, the governor of Qingzhou, to reconcile with the Yang family?
You know, whether it is Beichen or Nanxiao, there are only South Qingzhou and Beiqingzhou, but there is no place like Qingzhou.
Of course, Beiqingzhou occupies most of the hometown of Qingzhou during the Han Dynasty, and is also called Qingzhou by default.
Wang Yue felt that he should be more obedient. Since the imperial edict said so, he should obey the imperial edict first and become the governor of Qingzhou first.
Therefore, Wang Yue gave a decisive order, detaining the eunuch who passed the order, and ordered the three armies to send troops and horses to attack South Jizhou, Qingzhou, Guangzhou, Qizhou, and Jeju.
These old places of Qingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, for a time the old places of Qingzhou were full of smoke and smoke, or in other words, they were trembling under the iron hoofs of Wang Yue's soldiers and horses.
Within a few days, the Nan Qingzhou Army, which had long been sharpening its skills, completely occupied the coast of the Yellow River to the north, Sishui to the west, and Nan Xiao to the south, the hometown of Qingzhou during the Han Dynasty and a small part of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.
From this moment on, Wang Yue also became the real King of Qingzhou!
At the same time, Wang Yue had people copy the contents of the imperial edict into many copies and spread it throughout the prefectures and counties in Beichen.
With the war started by Wang Yue, although it lasted only a short time, it was also accompanied by the content of the imperial edict. Wang Yue served as the governor of Qingzhou in accordance with the imperial edict, and the news that he occupied ancient Qingzhou also spread.
Of course, this was because Wang Yue had a strong army and did not speak out about the rebellion. Everyone turned a blind eye. In addition, he was the son-in-law of the Miao family. For a while, he did not say anything. All Beichen Nanxiao looked at
To Zhongzhou, Xizhou and Qingzhou.
Let’s not talk about Zhongzhou’s reaction, but Xizhou Zhou Shengchen was in a dilemma at this moment.
Wang Yue occupied ancient Qingzhou in accordance with the imperial edict. Although he exploited loopholes, it was completely justified. The current Wang Yue is what the imperial edict said, and he is the real governor of Qingzhou.
If in the next step, Wang Yue follows the imperial edict and it is appropriate for him to reconcile and leave, he will be regarded as acting in compliance with the imperial edict.
Anyway, Wang Yue, a thick-skinned person, let people promote it like this. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, he believed it anyway.
Wang Yue did not rebel, but shamelessly occupied Qingzhou in accordance with the imperial decree. Zhou Shengchen was also a little confused for a while.
If we really go to war with Wang Yue, not to mention that Wang Yue also has strong troops and horses. After occupying the entire Qingzhou, I am afraid that he will have an army of 500,000, but he will only need to defend the western front.
However, Xizhou's 700,000-strong army needs to be guarded everywhere. It's hard to go on an expedition, but there's no guarantee who will win.
Moreover, Wang Yue is very popular in Xizhou, so the soldiers of Xizhou may not really fight against Wang Yue.
What's more, Zhou Shengchen could only wait for Zhongzhou's reaction. Because there was no edict, he did not dare to lead the army towards Qingzhou. After all, who knew whether he was falsely attacking Guo?
…
Compared with Xizhou's entanglement, the Queen Mother of Zhongzhou was a little uneasy. She did not expect that Wang Yue would take over the entire Qingzhou, let alone that someone could withhold another imperial edict arranged by her.
Yes, the Queen Mother originally issued two imperial edicts, one was to move Wang Yue, the governor of Qingzhou in the south, to become the governor of Qingzhou, and the other was to reconcile.
It's just that the imperial edict of Heli arrived in Nan Qingzhou first, but the other imperial edict was still not issued in Zhongzhou.
The Queen Mother thought that after the imperial edict for promotion was issued, Wang Yue could only leave Nan Qingzhou and go to Qingzhou to take up his post. After arriving in Qingzhou, if there was any reconciliation, Wang Yue would have no choice.
So, the imperial edict was spread like this, and Wang Yue took it as a reward. Anyway, you are planning to make people reconcile, so you should make some compensation.
Under the current situation, the ambitious city lords in various states are definitely ready to take action, and the emperor and military advisor Xie have also been imprisoned by him. Important ministers in the court have also called in illness and stayed at home, ignoring political affairs. For a while, the Queen Mother did not know what to do.
What to do.
The Queen Mother knew that the important ministers in the court wanted to force the Queen Mother to release the emperor, but she was in a dilemma. She finally managed to let Qin Yan sleep in her palace at night, forcing Qin Yan to help imprison the emperor, and arrested Xie
Military advisor, once the emperor is released now, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time, a chamberlain suddenly walked in. He also knew that the situation was a bit complicated, so he reported in a panic and truthfully, "Your Majesty, Xie Chong has died in prison."
After hearing what the chamberlain said, the Queen Mother sat down on the couch. Now she had no choice but to start earlier.
So the Queen Mother ordered someone to prepare a jug of wine and took her to the palace where the emperor was imprisoned. When she went out again, the emperor was already dead.
Then the Queen Mother took the imperial doctor non-stop to the residence where Concubine Jiang was to live in a few days. Not long after, Concubine Jiang gave birth to a prince.
At the same time, Qin Yan witnessed the death of Commander Xie and the emperor one after another, secretly left the palace and headed towards Xizhou. By the time the Queen Mother got the news, Qin Yan had already hurried away.
...
After Wang Yue captured the entire Qingzhou, he quickly accepted the surrendered soldiers from each county, and his troops quickly expanded to nearly half a million.
Recently, the entire Qingzhou has been training its troops and horses, ready to face the future war. However, Qingzhou's troops and horses are all sharpening their swords, while Zhongzhou and Xizhou have been silent.
Wang Yue probably knew why this was the case. He still ordered the workshops in Qingzhou to work day and night to make armors, weapons, crossbows and arrows, and seize the time to prepare for war. Wang Yue's Qingzhou merchant ships traveled between the north and the south more frequently.
between.
As for the people, the people of the prefectures and counties outside the original Southern Qingzhou were very happy after hearing that Wang Yue of Southern Qingzhou controlled the entire Qingzhou, as if they were welcoming the king's master.
After all, everyone knows that the people of Southern Qingzhou are living a good life. Even the prefectures and counties in Yuzhou and Jizhou that Wang Yue has not occupied are looking forward to Wang Yue's army coming.
And Wang Yue did not disappoint the people of Qingzhou, and quickly implemented the decree of Southern Qingzhou to the entire Qingzhou.
In preparation for the war, workshops were established in various places to recruit people to make arrows and other war materials, which also allowed the people to have extra income besides the busy farming work.
For a time, under Wang Yue's rule, the centripetal force improved a lot, and the people praised him.
Even after the people heard about Wang Yue's treatment in the army, all recruiting places in Qingzhou were overcrowded.
Wang Yue also accepted everyone who came, and as long as he was still in good health, he recruited him into the army and started training as a reserve force.
On this day, Yang Guang's condition worsened. Yang Shiyi and Wang Yue went to Qinghe County with some guards. The two of them made a special detour to see the newly incorporated states and counties. On the way, they looked obviously more alive.
In various places, the way Mao Shiyi looked at Wang Yue was a little different.
Feeling Mao Shiyi's gaze, Wang Yue smiled and teased, "I wasn't very happy a few days ago, why are you so gentle today."
The smile on Yan Shiyi's face faded a little, and she remembered what was on her mind. She said with some sadness, "A few days ago, I was afraid that the imperial court would send my master to attack Qingzhou. You two are my most important people. I really
I don’t want you two to have any conflicts.”
Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, and then said, "Actually, you should be lucky. If we hadn't listened to the leader of the clan, and if we had delayed getting married a few days, I might have really rebelled."
Nao Shiyi rolled her eyes at Wang Yue, but she still said hesitantly, "Now that you have occupied the entire Qingzhou, and you are raising troops and horses, Zhongzhou will definitely be restless. Maybe you will send my master to come."
Wang Yue smoothed over Shi Yi's frown and said casually, "I received news some time ago that Commander Xie has died in prison. General Qin left Zhongzhou alone and headed towards Xizhou. The little emperor is also dead now.
, I think your master will go to Zhongzhou soon."
Yan Shiyi didn't understand why Wang Yue was so relaxed, so he asked doubtfully, "If my master leads a large army to Beijing to quell the rebellion, isn't it more likely that he will turn around and come to Qingzhou to attack us?"
Wang Yue was pleased by the word 'we' in Shiyi's words. He explained patiently, "This is the key point. Think about it, the prince has already colluded with Jin Rong, and the soldiers and horses may be ready now."
Waiting for an opportunity near Zhongzhou, if your master enters Zhongzhou without a terrifying external enemy, what do you think will be the fate of your master?"
Fu Shiyi didn't quite understand. When Zhou Shengchen went to Zhongzhou, he would definitely lead an army there. Who could threaten Zhou Shengchen among the army?
Looking at Min Shiyi's face, Wang Yue knew that she didn't understand, so he said patiently, "With your master's character, he definitely can't lead a heavy army into the city, and he will easily be surrounded. If your master himself is okay, he will be surrounded."
With his martial arts skills, there will definitely be no problem in escaping, but what if your senior brothers and sisters are surrounded."
After thinking about the power of this, Jian Shiyi said helplessly, "I think for the sake of everyone's safety, my master may be willing to die generously, but if my master is fine, do we really have to fight each other?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "We can't fight. We have too many soldiers and horses. We can't solve each other for a while. We can at most confront each other. In this case, your master will definitely be safer. Otherwise, no matter who does it in Zhongzhou,
The emperor is afraid that I will send my troops to march westward."
Jian Shiyi had a headache. She said helplessly, "Is it necessary to beat me? Is it impossible not to beat me?"
Wang Yue thought for a while and said with a smile, "Actually, there is a way."
Jian Shiyi's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "What can we do?"
Wang Yue said with a smile, "We marched south under the banner of Xiao Yan. I think at that time, the Zhongzhou royal family must be waiting for me and Nan Xiao to suffer losses. They will wait until the war is over before making plans. They might as well take advantage of this time.
Continue to fight for power, and even take time to deal with King Xiao Nanchen."
Shiyi hesitated a little, and asked worriedly, "My master is used to it, but aren't you afraid that Bei, Chen and Nanxiao will attack our Qingzhou together?"
Wang Yue smiled nonchalantly and said, "The city lords of Beichen are not stupid. They will not use their soldiers and horses to fight against my soldiers and horses in Qingzhou. And for the expedition to Xizhou, logistics and supplies are a big problem. Seven
Even if half of the 100,000-strong army has to pass through Zhongzhou, I think the Emperor of Zhongzhou will have trouble sleeping."
Seeing that Wang Yue was confident, Nao Shiyi asked again, "Are you sure about attacking Nanxiao? If we are in one state to deal with the entire Nanxiao, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack the whole Nanxiao with an egg."
Wang Yue glanced at Yan Shiyi and said mysteriously, "Have you forgotten our fleet? Cooperate with the troops on land to quickly capture the northern and southern Yanzhou of Nanxiao. In this way, we will control the land north of the Yangtze River. Cooperate with
The naval army is now in a stable state, and if we are lucky enough to capture Jiankang, the capital of Nanxiao, we will be able to avenge Xiao Yan."
