Since ancient times, it seems that they have been excluded from the political center of Long Yan.
Because it's really too far.
However, in the history of Longyan, Youzhou is not an unknown place. It can even be regarded as an important military town in Longyan. During the Han Dynasty, Youzhou was the place where the Huns often fought. After all, Youzhou is
The border defense area of the Chinese civilization. It was also the long-term battle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu that forged a world-famous army, the Youzhou Cavalry!
Whether fighting the Huns or Goguryeo, Youzhou is an indispensable military town.
In Liu Zheng's world, every time Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Korea, he would gather troops and horses in Youzhou, allocate grain, weapons and equipment.
If you say so, it's not straightforward enough.
Then, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Anlu Mountain raised troops here, so we can know what kind of place Youzhou is.
The folk customs here are fierce, and the people of Youzhou have admired the beauty of both books and swords since ancient times. There are many heroes in Youyan, so you know how many capable people there are in Youzhou.
only.
Under the rule of King Zhao Xie Sheng, Youzhou was very low-key, extremely low-key.
It's almost shockingly low-key.
Let's put it this way, since Xie Sheng inherited the title of King Zhao from his father, he has never been to Beijing.
Not once.
No matter what happens to your emperor or the royal family, Xie Sheng can just say, I am not in good health.
then.
In this era when communications were not developed enough and news was not enough, everyone thought that King Zhao Xie Sheng was just a tuberculosis ghost, and no one took him seriously.
And this time.
For the prince's state funeral, Xie Sheng said that he could not shirk away from it.
and......
In fact, he didn't want to shirk it in his heart.
"Thirty years..."
In the simple carriage, Xie Sheng laughed: "It's been thirty years, and it's really time to visit Beijing. Do you think our Holy Lord can still recognize me?"
People on the left and right laughed.
Xie Sheng is a man in his forties, neither fat nor thin. It can be seen that he has always paid attention to his physical exercise and has a strong temperament for a general. When he said this, he smiled coldly: "Everyone in the world says
, Xie Tianyao was able to endure this contraction in the womb for more than thirty years, Gu Da thought that Gu was not bad at all!"
Others immediately flattered him and said, "What King Zhao said is wrong. Our land in Youzhou is much larger than that of the imperial palace, and King Zhao can live a more comfortable life than that of the Holy One!"
Everyone laughed again.
"Xie Tianyao, Xie Tianyao..."
Xie Sheng's eyes flashed with strong fighting spirit.
This time.
Long Yan is about to be in chaos, Xie Sheng thinks that his chance has come!
Yes.
Coming.
As the King of Zhao, he is a die-hard member of the old nobles. In the north, he is on the same front as King Han of Jizhou, King Zheng of Xuzhou, and King Feng of Yanzhou. In terms of political stance, the old nobles have always been
There is no doubt that he supports the prince Xie Fang. But this time... Xie Fang is dead!
The prince is dead!
The other members of the old aristocracy were all panic-stricken, but Xie Sheng became excited.
Why?
Because he felt that their family’s opportunity had come!
Since the old nobles can no longer find a spokesperson...then Youzhou will naturally do its part!
Look at the vassal kings of Longyan at this time, which one is stronger than them in Youzhou?
His 300,000 Youzhou cavalry are waiting for battle!
He has three sons, all of them are dragons and phoenixes!
now that......
Xie Tianyao's branch of the Xie family could defeat the Tang king hundreds of years ago and successfully ascend to power. Then... why couldn't he?
As soon as this idea came up, it was in his heart and he couldn't contain it anymore.
Although he has never been to Jinghua these years, he has never stopped running Jinghua.
Even one of his sons, his favorite eldest son, Xie Chen, was working as a eunuch in the palace...
Be a eunuch.
Thinking of this, a flash of sadness flashed in Xie Sheng's eyes. How could his son be a heavenly eunuch! However, this is no longer important. He has already decided that if he can seize the throne, he must let his eldest son pass first.
Enjoyable! Yes, I must pass the throne to my eldest son first!
"How did those old guys reply?"
Xie Sheng thought for a moment and then asked calmly.
The group of counselors and generals around me looked at each other.
"Your Majesty..."
"them......"
When Xie Sheng saw these people hesitating, he immediately sneered: "You must think Gu is crazy, right?"
A group of people stopped talking.
Xie Sheng laughed loudly: "Do you also think Gu is crazy?"
"Um?"
He suddenly shouted: "A bunch of losers! The 300,000 Youzhou sudden cavalry alone are invincible in the world. Coupled with the equipment from Liangzhou, even if the Liangzhou army comes, I will not be afraid! A group of guys without a plan! If they
If you are willing to send troops to Gu, a million-strong army, why worry about not leveling the Long Yan River and the mountains? Why worry!"
He spoke domineeringly.
It’s all because he has kept a low profile for so many years and hid it too deeply! He has been so low-key that he feels so depressed!
Looking at the Qingzhou soldiers, looking at the Liangzhou cavalry, looking at these and those, Liu Shilang, the imperial examination, looking at the ever-changing Long Yan, he couldn't help it anymore, and finally couldn't help it anymore!
He wants to prove to the world that he exists!
His existence in Youzhou!
"Your Majesty, although these idiots are as timid as mice, in fact, they are all just outsiders."
Next to Xie Sheng, a counselor with small eyes chuckled.
Xie Sheng shook his head: "But their soldiers are useless."
The counselor continued to smile and said: "Your Majesty, looking at the current situation in the world, the Liangzhou Army is the strongest, followed by the Qingzhou Army... Your Majesty, let's calm down for the time being, and we, the Youzhou Cavalry, will not care about it for the time being. Therefore, these vassal kings, in fact,
What I fear most is the Liangzhou Army."
Everyone nodded.
The Liangzhou Army has become too powerful in recent years.
Xie Sheng looked at the counselor.
The counselor continued: "However, although the Liangzhou army is powerful, it is too scattered and extremely difficult to dispatch. And it relies too much on the reputation of Liu Shilang..."
A flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, if your Highness's plan is successful this time, you can successfully assassinate Minister Liu at the funeral! These old immortals will definitely look up to you one by one! When Your Majesty thinks about it, if Minister Liu dies,
The Liangzhou army will definitely be leaderless, and the entire Liangzhou will collapse! Even if it is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed. When the time comes, the collapsed Liangzhou will be like a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered. Who doesn’t want to take a bite! Your Majesty, this is a big deal.
Why!"
When everyone heard this, they became excited.
"My lord, great things can be done!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"good!"
King Zhao Xie Sheng also happily slapped his thigh hard.
Great things can be done!
He believes that the time has come to prove that he is the right one!
