Zhuge Guanqi said: "It is also necessary to raise funds to support a war with Dayong's financial resources, Dakang is only one aspect, I heard that Xue Shengjing, the king of Yan, has handed over Jubaozhai to the treasury." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "King Yan is a person who regards wealth as his life, this time it is clear that the crisis of Jubaozhai has been resolved, but I heard that it was Empress Dowager Jiang who forced him to hand over Jubaozhai, and it is estimated that it is even more uncomfortable than killing him." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "With Dayong's current national strength, there should be no problem in winning this battle, but this war will inevitably delay their plan to unify the Central Plains, which is a good thing for the lord and the countries of the Central Plains." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "How can Brother Guanqi conclude that Dayong will win?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Wei Chi Chong is a famous general in the world, over the years, he has fought countless battles against Heihu, and has made great contributions to the demarcation of the northern border, this person is deeply supported in the army, as long as Emperor Dayong gives him enough trust, he is still very sure of victory." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The more lively they play, the better." ” Zhuge Guanqi said with a smile: "Yes, the lord can just try to develop, take this opportunity to think about Yunze's affairs." ” The day after Hu Xiaotian's public appearance, the military advisor Yu Tianxing, the commander of the naval division Zhao Wusheng, Li Yongfu, Xiong Tianba, Liang Yinghao, Zu Da and others who went to Haizhou to deliver grain all came to Dongliang County.
In addition, Chang Fanqi, who has returned from Python Jiao Island, and Li Mingcheng, the Taishou of Dongliang County, are all together.
Chang Fanqi first reported to Hu Xiaotian about their return from Python Island, which specifically mentioned an important person, Yang Yuanqing.
This guy betrayed Hu Xiaotian on Python Jiao Island and was finally captured, but this person's bones are very hard, and he has not said who he is behind the scenes.
After the noon banquet of the day, the generals were entertained.
Yu Tianxing and Zhao Wusheng stayed alone, and seeing the expressions of the two, Hu Xiaotian knew that they had something important to report.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What is the plan of the military division?"
Yu Tianxing said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord for accepting a new expert in internal affairs."
Hu Xiaotian was stunned by what he said, and he couldn't remember which one he said for a while Yu Tianxing explained: "I didn't expect Yan Ming to be so capable, handle internal affairs in an orderly manner, and Emperor Dakang is mediocre.
An official of such competence will also abandon it. ” Hu Xiaotian knew that he was talking about Yan Xuanming, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile, about Yan Xuanming's origin, Hu Xiaotian did not publicize it too much, after Yan Xuanming came here as an official, he simply used Yan Ming's name, this is to avoid unnecessary trouble, so that others will know that he is the son of Yan Tianlu, the owner of Python Jiao Island.
Hu Xiaotian didn't know Yan Xuanming's ability, as Yu Tianxing said.
I really picked up a treasure this time.
Although there are many civil and military generals around him, but there is a lack of masters who really deal with internal affairs, although Li Mingcheng, the Taishou of Dongliang County, is barely one, but his ability is obviously lacking, and the appearance of Yan Xuanming just supplements this shortcoming.
Hu Xiaotian suddenly thought of Li Mingcheng, with Li Mingcheng's study of the law, after his arrival, he must have been like a tiger.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He is still young.
There is still a lot of training.
After saying this, even he himself smiled embarrassedly, saying that others were young.
He himself is not, in fact, his current team, except for Li Mingcheng, is all young people.
Zhao Wusheng said: "The lord has formed an alliance with the Bohai Kingdom and Python Jiao Island this time, and we will have no worries in the future." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "You can't be so optimistic, after all, everyone has their own account." ” Yu Tianxing smiled: "So if you want this alliance to be unbreakable, you must find common interests." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this." ” Yu Tianxing said: "What are the plans of the lord?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "I wanted to ask you, but you asked about me."
You start by saying" Yu Tianxing hugged his fists and said: "Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, our navy should start drilling, and initially plan to enter the sea from the Yongjiang River."
Recently, Dayong's grain convoy has frequently passed through this area, sent grain to Dakang, and made huge profits from Dakang and went north by sea. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "You want to rob?"
Yu Tianxing said: "It may not be our shot."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Come with me."
It's best for Python Jiaodao to take action in this matter, let the grain delivery ship go, and let them stay to buy road money when they come over with money. ” Zhao Wusheng said: "In this way, you can not only train the troops, but also get benefits, and the brothers' military salaries will naturally be settled." ” Yu Tianxing said: "It's just that this kind of thing can't last, we have to stop it immediately after doing it once, even if Dayong has a ship passing by next time, it will inevitably strengthen our vigilance, and we don't need to have a head-on conflict with Dayong Sailor." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded again and again.
Yu Tianxing said: "The northern line of Dayong is in an emergency, and the battle with Heihu is about to break out, the lord should consider taking advantage of this great opportunity to make a difference, expand our territory, and stabilize the defense in Yongjiang." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What plan does the military advisor have?"
Yu Tianxing said: "Baiquan City Taishou Zuo Xingjian is indeed a character, he has investigated the situation of the surrounding cities in Yunze in a short period of time, I think the lord should be ready to take control of Yunze." ” Yu Tianxing's plan coincided with Zhuge Guanqi's suggestion, Hu Xiaotian said: "Controlling Yunze is equivalent to advancing to the south, the imperial court will definitely suspect that we have a plan, intending to enter the hinterland of Dakang, if we make any changes, Su Yuchi of Yunyang will not sit idly by, the emperor placed him in Yunyang, is to bury a thunder behind my back, if we attack Yunze and dispatch most of the forces, it is difficult to guarantee that Su Yuchi will not take advantage of the situation and suddenly use cold arrows in the back." ” Yu Tianxing said with a smile: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, don't forget that there is Guo Guangbi of Xingzhou behind Su Yuchi." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Guo Guangbi and Ma Xingkong of Yunze Heishui Village are an alliance, how can he help me" Yu Tianxing said: "Since Su Yuchi arrived in Yunyang, he has completely cut off the communication between Bikong Mountain and Heishui Village and Xingzhou, the alliance between Guo Guangbi and Ma Xingkong has actually existed in name only, and now Ma Xingkong has no foreign aid, before the battle of Yunze, he destroyed most of his warship, and it is impossible to do anything with his current strength."
With Guo Guangbi's temperament, it is impossible for him to save Ma Xingkong regardless of his own interests. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "You mean to let Guo Guangbi contain Su Yuchi's soldiers and horses, and we will concentrate our forces to level Heishui Village in the shortest possible time." ” Yu Tianxing nodded and said: "As long as we occupy Bixin Mountain, it is equivalent to occupying Yunze, and we can use Bixin Mountain as a base to develop a water division, and the cities around Yunze will be at our fingertips." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The military advisor is really good" For the countries of the Central Plains, many major events occurred in March, first the Black Hu people gathered 200,000 iron cavalry to invade Dayong, Dayong side with Wei Chi Chong as the commander, led 150,000 troops to hold the northern defense line, the two sides began a hard battle in the northern Xinjiang of Dayong, after two large-scale battles, both sides suffered heavy casualties, with the arrival of a prolonged spring rain, the war fell into a stalemate stage.
The grain convoy of Dayong to Dakang was raided by the pirates of Python Island on the way back, and none of the twenty warships were spared, and all the sailors and soldiers on board were killed, and the huge amount of grain obtained from Dakang disappeared.
At the same time as the raid on Dayong's fleet on Python Jiao Island, Dongliang County went down the Wangchun River in the name of Dangkou, and gathered 200 warships to launch a general attack on Heishui Village in Bixin Mountain.
The rainstorm over Yunyang was like a note, Su Yuchi stood at the head of the city, looking in the direction of due west, the Xingzhou rebels had gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses and had advanced to the west of Yunyang City, which made him feel unprecedented pressure.
Deputy General Yuan Qingshan walked quickly to his side and said loudly: "General, go and shelter from the rain, don't get wet." ” Su Yuchi nodded, and walked into the guard tower with Yuan Qingshan, Su Yuchi took off his helmet, handed the helmet to the soldiers on the side, came to the bonfire and sat down, Yuan Qingshan sat down opposite him, looked at his thin face, and felt sad for a while, although Yuan Qingshan was his deputy general, he grew up with him since he was a child, and after countless battles, he became a brave and good general, in Yuan Qingshan's heart, Su Yuchi and his father are almost the same.
Su Yuchi said: "It's really time for these thieves in Xingzhou to come. ” Yuan Qingshan said: "I have already sent people to spy on them, and they are camped sixty miles away, and they are not in a hurry to advance." ” The corners of Su Yuchi's lips flashed with a look of disdain: "They don't dare to attack" Yuan Qingshan was stunned and said, "What" Su Yuchi stretched out his hand, took the map from his own soldiers, unfolded the map on the ground, and moved his fingers along the Wangchun River to Yunze's position: "Hu Xiaotian's side began to swing, and Xingzhou Guo Guangbi came to commit it in a big way, how can there be so many coincidences in this world" Yuan Qingshan said in a low voice: "General, you mean that Hu Xiaotian colluded with the anti-thieves" Su Yuchi stared at the raging bonfire with a pair of tiger eyes, and his rain-soaked body gradually regained some temperature: "I have played to Your Majesty many times and asked to go to Yunze Dangkou, but Your Majesty has ignored my request, and now I can only watch others seize the opportunity." ” Yuan Qingshan looked at the map and said in a low voice: "What will be the consequences if Hu Xiaotian occupies Bixin Mountain" In fact, he had already thought of the consequences, but out of respect, he was still asking for Su Yuchi's opinion.
Su Yuchi shook his head: "This person's ambition is too big, Bixin Mountain's Ma Xingkong can't be his opponent at all, this battle will definitely be lost, in the future, Bixin Mountain will become a place where Hu Xiaotian trains sailors, controlling Bikong Mountain is equivalent to controlling Yunze, and the seven cities around Yunze are in danger" An inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, although he could see through the situation in front of him, but he couldn't get more support from the imperial court, in fact, the emperor sent him to Yunyang, After taking away 100,000 stone of grain from Hu Xiaotian, the emperor seemed to have forgotten him.
Su Yuchi even thinks that unless Hu Xiaotian provokes a flagrant rebellion, maybe the emperor will continue to forget.
Yuan Qingshan said: "General, what should we do?"
Su Yuchi sighed: "Defending the city" is not over to be continued:
