20demayo Chapter 291
Chapter 291
Jingguo invaded, Long Tian did not want to see the people of Xia suffer greater losses, and he had to speed up the pace of action.
"Order Sun Wu and Meng Tian to take Huaizhou."
Huaizhou, the last state controlled by the prince, was not strong to begin with, and was seriously understaffed after the prince constantly transferred troops. The two could quickly take it down, so that the forces in the northern border could be connected.
As Long Tian's order was issued, all parts of Xia began to make big moves again.
First, Wang Jian's troops in Dangzhou went directly into Linzhou, with Xiao Jingyi as their target, but there were forces of King Xing on the way. If King Xing did not give way, the two would inevitably clash.
If King Xing gave way, it almost meant that King Xing gave up his territory and handed it over to the northern border. How to choose depends on King Xing himself.
In Danzhou, Bai Qi summoned the Five Tiger Generals as soon as he received the order and began to send troops.
During this period, as several states in the south were harassed by Jingguo, Long Tian already knew that Jingguo would not give up this opportunity, and Bai Qi was ready to enter the south at any time.
It was just that Shunzhou was in trouble this time, which was a little far from Danzhou, and there were Yunzhou and the forces of the King of Zhennan in the middle.
In order to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible, Bai Qi had to go to Yunzhou, and Yunzhou was under the control of Lu Qing, which would save a lot of time.
In less than a day, Bai Qi's troops in Danzhou entered Yunzhou, and the Yunzhou army not only did not stop them, but even formed a legion to follow Bai Qi's back.
At the same time, the Yunzhou army, which was preparing to attack Linzhou, retreated without a fight without receiving orders from the prince and the court, returned to Yunzhou, and came to the road where Bai Qi was marching.
The prince also sent someone to ask Lu Qing what he meant by this move and whether he wanted to stop Bai Qi, but he did not get a reply from Lu Qing.
At this moment, the prince was suffering.
Bai Qi's purpose of entering Yunzhou must be Shunzhou. The prince knew this very well. In theory, the prince did not want to conflict with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's attack on Jingguo could not only help Xia resist foreign enemies, but also consume the power of the northern border. The prince was unable to do this, but he could not watch Jingguo wreak havoc.
Therefore, the prince did not want Lu Qing to go to war with Bai Qi.
Lu Qing withdrew his troops without the order of the court and prepared to block Bai Qi's actions, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of the prince.
But soon, this dissatisfaction turned into anger.
"Your Highness, we have all been fooled by Lu Qing, the old man."
There was almost a wail, and the whole court was cursing Lu Qing.
These high-ranking bigwigs never thought that the favorite of the previous emperor, the most trusted Taibao of the old emperor, was actually from the northern border.
Just like Taiwei Su Jingshan, Lu Qing sent another state to the northern border, which was a great shame for the court.
It turned out that the latest intelligence sent to the court showed that the armies of Danzhou and Yunzhou did not clash. The real situation was that the Yunzhou army did not stop Bai Qi, but joined Bai Qi and went to Shunzhou together.
In this way, Bai Qi's army, which originally had few troops, suddenly expanded to more than one million, and went to Shunzhou.
As for Lu Qing, he continued to stay in Yunzhou to guard against the court and Xiao Jingyi's sneak attacks.
Looking at the furious ministers, the prince actually felt a little funny in his heart.
It was this group of people who claimed to be the pillars of the Xia Kingdom, and they were so arrogant, but at every critical moment, these people could not come up with any effective plan except for being furious here.
Even the prince was wondering how many of these adults who were filled with righteous indignation and seemed to be extremely loyal to the court were from the northern border.
Taibao, Taiwei, and a defected Taifu Hao Wudao, the top courtiers of Xia Kingdom can all be spies in the north, so how can there be none among these people?
But the prince can no longer take care of these.
"Your Highness, there is news from Huaizhou."
A little eunuch, holding a secret report, walked in with his head held high.
At this time, the prince was like a powder keg that could explode at any time. No one wanted to get close to him, let alone deliver intelligence.
Everyone knows that there is no good news in the intelligence sent to the court at this time, and if you are not careful, you will end up in pieces.
"Huaizhou, is it?"
The prince's heart skipped a beat. Huaizhou has few troops and is separated from the forces of the north. Don't let anything happen at this time.
The prince quickly read it, and then threw it to Yan Tianyu expressionlessly.
What you fear is what will come. Long Tianzhen didn't give him any breathing time, and really attacked Huaizhou.
Soon, Yan Tianyu, Lin Jinnan and other ministers also learned about the northern border attack on Huaizhou.
This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Can the already broken court survive this?
This is the inner thoughts of many people's idea, now it is time to find a way out.
"My dear family, the court is in danger now, I hope you will work together to overcome the difficulties."
"The court is weak at the moment, but there are still opportunities. I remind you that you must keep your eyes open and don't make mistakes, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel."
Although he didn't know what everyone was thinking, the prince could imagine that at this point, the only ones who didn't want to find a way out for themselves were the prime ministers who had nowhere to go.
Warnings are inevitable, and the prince is determined to stabilize the internal situation, and then he will have to increase monitoring efforts.
To stabilize the situation in Kyoto, warnings are useless, and blood must be paved.
"Your Highness, under this situation, I suggest that the Huaizhou and Linzhou armies withdraw to Zhongzhou, defend Zhongzhou to the death, and then plan for the follow-up."
Yan Tianyu knew that no matter what the situation was, he had to find a way to face it, so he made a suggestion.
"Your Highness, Jingguo invaded, Long Tian's move is obviously to intervene, which is bound to divide Long Tian's forces."
"The war in Zhenzhou has also reached the most critical moment. The defenders of Qicheng are fighting desperately, and the Zhenbei Army is besieging and attacking the reinforcements. The end time is not far away."
"Jin Huaicheng, Jin Kingdom continues to increase its support, and both sides are fighting. It depends on which of the two battlefields ends first to determine the direction of the war, but one thing is certain, Jin Kingdom will not give up, and there will inevitably be another war."
"The Southern Courtyard of Liang State has now been Long Tian controlled the area, and losing a courtyard was unacceptable to Liang State. Liang State was bound to take it back, and war was inevitable. "
"With the sudden attack on Jingguo, Long Tian was at war with three countries at the same time. We gave up fighting for Linzhou, but Long Tian would not give up. He would definitely eliminate Pingxi King Xiao Jingyi. In this way, Long Tian would also have to deploy a large army to defend against Xichu. "
"In this way, even if Long Tian had more troops, they would definitely be dispersed. We still have a chance to breathe and seek changes. "
Yan Tianyu advocated giving up other territories and concentrating all forces to defend Zhongzhou.
