Fei Yuxin is extremely fast, and he also adopts the ladder mode of the post station. After exhaustion, he will stop at the post station to eat and rest, and the copper pipe will be removed and installed on another Fei Yu to continue. So Zhang Yan has just
Before setting off on the journey, even before leaving Beijiang County, the news about Fei Yu had already reached Yang Sheng in the palace of Yuanding Imperial City.
"You want gems?" Yang Sheng was quite surprised. He had never thought that Zhang Yan would make such a request. He had thought that the other party wanted money or power. But he spent his own money to buy the "stone of longevity". This...
I wrote the letter before to give the opponent face. A strong man with mysterious methods is qualified to be respected by Yang Sheng. Of course, the "strong" he respects does not mean the killing methods shown by Zhang Yan, but the refining of bone strengthening pills.
Skill, as well as the "Medicine Refining Skin and Flesh Method" and the method of burning pieces of paper and then swallowing them to obtain powerful benefits as mentioned by Princess Qingling.
The letter was written by Xiao Shu himself to Yang Sheng. It described in detail how he and Zhang Yan negotiated the conditions, almost reciting the original words.
"For what method is the longevity stone important to him?" Yang Sheng muttered to himself and put the letter away.
Although the longevity stone is not cheap, it may not be the top or first-class gemstone. It is also produced in Nanyuan Kingdom and even other places. The actual use is limited to a limited number of types of jewelry. There is a lot of stock and sales volume.
But it has always been unremarkable.
Now that Zhang Yan wants to take away the longevity stones produced in the mines between Linxia and Yumen, as well as between the two places, this is not a big price for Yang Sheng. Even if it only depends on the value, it is not a big price.
It's easy to say. Even the government-run ore owners and the owners of private mines will be very happy, because longevity stones usually don't have such large quantities and stable buyers.
"Go ahead, if there are longevity stones in the veins in the royal family's hands, keep them all and not sell them. You can also take some of the ones on the market outside." Yang Sheng didn't care if it would raise the price of longevity stones. He
What I care about is that since the longevity stone is valued by Zhang Yan, it must be important. The Royal Household Office is not short of money, so it just stocked up some longevity stones and looked at them while walking.
According to the schedule, it will take Zhang Yan half a month to reach Yuanding at the earliest. In terms of time, he should be able to catch up with the deadline agreed with Huayue Kingdom. As long as Zhang Yan is really as capable as Princess Qingling said, what will happen after that?
There is a good chance of winning in those three battles.
As for what to do if you lose? Yang Sheng is actually already thinking about it.
"Is there no reply from Shi Xuan yet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let's go to Jiuyu again to urge him! Letting him take charge of the Eastern Army does not mean that he will defend Tonghu Pass, but that he can go south and give confidence to the Vietnamese and Chinese areas. Once he is asked to move, he must give me
A resounding answer!"
"It's your Majesty. I'm going to ask someone to give Commander Shi another urgent reminder."
The people below hurriedly sent out orders to the Eastern Army camp. This was already the third urgent letter the emperor had sent to the Eastern Army in the past half month.
Nearly 90% of the southeastern cross-water channel has been cut off, which has a great impact on the entire eastern counties of Nanyuan Kingdom. Moreover, Chilin's Huayue Navy has repeatedly approached the Yuezhong Water Village
Provocation. Even one of them was late at night. If there was an oversight and no discovery was made, no one could be sure that Hua Yue's visit would have been limited to "provocation." Because there were only two important figures in Hua Yuan in Nanyuan Kingdom.
With Guo Yulong's strength, it is not impossible to protect a Princess Baowen and sneak away.
Therefore, the entire southeastern part of Nanyuan Kingdom is now full of wind and thunder. There is no strong pass in the southeastern terrain to defend. Once the defense line is breached, there is a risk of being defeated thousands of miles away. If the defense line is breached, it will be fatal.
matter.
So Yang Sheng wrote to Shi Xuan, asking him if he could go south to fill the gap in the southeast at any time in the near future and provide strength support for the front line of Vietnam and China. Even if something unexpected happens, he can also block Huayue Kingdom from turning north and turning west to attack Yuanding.
possible.
This is the main reason why Yang Sheng put Shi Xuan in the position of military commander of the Eastern Army and appointed him as the general manager of the Eastern Army Road. Otherwise, although Beiwu would also be a serious concern, it would be difficult to break through to the south with Tonghu Pass blocking it.
?Is it necessary to put nearly 30% of Nanyuan Kingdom’s main force there?
However, although he did not get Shi Xuan's reply as quickly as possible, Yang Sheng did not doubt Shi Xuan's loyalty. Without absolute trust, Yang Sheng would not have placed Shi Xuan in such an important position. He believed that Shi Xuan failed to do so in time.
The reply should be that he had other plans.
Yang Sheng put down his pen. All the copper bars on the right hand side had been reviewed and approved. However, there was still a roll of notes on the desk in front of him that he had taken out specifically for further consideration.
"Why......"
How can we say that it is difficult to manage state affairs? There are many things to say, and various accidents always happen. The changes in the current situation test people's judgment and decision-making.
Huayue's shamelessness here made the Nanyuan Kingdom feel the pressure from the Upper Kingdom on the other side of the river. On the west side, the pressure was also full. There was even a river of blood.
To the east of Nanyuan Kingdom across the river is Huayue Shangguo, and to the west is naturally Haoyue Demon Kingdom.
Unlike Huayue, the Demon Kingdom and the Nanyuan Kingdom never used any small tricks or tricks in the fight. They were bloody and bloody. What they competed with was their absolute hard power and toughness on the battlefield.
Chonglan County in the west became particularly secure because of Song Qinghe's appointment. The method called Bagua Formation achieved excellent results in the terrain of Yubei Mountain.
But this time, it is not Chonglan County that is anxious, but Xiyuan County in the southwest.
Chonglan County is coveted by the demon clan because of the Yushan Fruit on the mountain. And what the demon clan covets in Xiyuan County is the vast fertile farmland. They don’t farm, but they like to plunder. They come every year. But this year, there are those who swept through Xiyuan County.
The posture. Not only was the formation huge, but they also fought all the way without collecting the food and evacuating it as before. Instead, they made a posture of continuing to advance and going straight to Baishi, the core town of Xiyuan County.
What is now on Yang Sheng's desk is a joint request for help from Li Mi, the governor of Xiyuan County, and Wang Wuxi, the general manager of the Western Military Road. They hope to send at least 20,000 soldiers to Xiyuan County as soon as possible for reinforcements, instead of just relying on reinforcements from various places.
Criminal soldiers are useless. They cannot solve the current difficulties of Xiyuan County at all.
But the more this happens, the less Yang Sheng dares to easily dispatch troops from elsewhere to rush for reinforcements. When the east side is also occupied by Huayue, it is even more difficult to mess up the position.
After unfolding the copper strip and reading it carefully from the beginning, Yang Sheng suddenly felt a fierce arrogance. Finally, he picked up the red pen on the table and wrote eight words on the copper strip: I will wait until two days later.
The Forbidden Army supports you!
"The decree was drawn up, and 20,000 Imperial City Imperial Guards were immediately dispatched to assist Xiyuan County. Armed with military talismans, they reported to the Ministry of War Yamen for endorsement, and ordered arrows to be sent down to all gates of the Imperial City and along the way. Food and grass from various places were prepared in advance for the army..."
