Chapter 209
The old emperor of Xia, Xiao Jingrui, was so obsessed with power when he was alive that he neglected the cultivation of his descendants. It cannot be said that he neglected it. It is impossible for the old emperor to think of it.
The old emperor should not dare, nor do he want to cultivate his descendants, so as not to threaten his imperial power. It is just that this approach makes the abilities of the crown prince, the second prince and others really unbearable.
Each of them seems to be a dragon among men, with a dignified appearance, but in fact, each of them has very limited abilities.
Even the crown prince is the same. He is indecisive when encountering things. How can he have the aura of an emperor?
This is the conclusion drawn by the Taiwei Su Jingshan from secret observation.
This has to be said to be the sadness of the royal family, but it is understandable that an excellent and strong descendant is too threatening to the throne. Even if such a descendant appears, it is inevitable to be suppressed.
"Your Highness, should we send troops to intervene in the affairs of Zhenzhou?"
At this time, Su Jingshan asked again. It was very reasonable for him, the Taiwei, to propose military actions.
Zhenzhou was occupied by King Xiaoyao, and the Jin Kingdom invaded. Such a major event requires the whole Xia Kingdom to unite to resist foreign enemies, but the current situation is that only Long Tian is in the front, and others are indifferent.
This is a big blow to the prestige of the royal family. The reason why Su Jingshan proposed it is also for the consideration of the northern border, and he wants to use it to divide the power of the prince.
"Your Highness, we should not intervene in this matter, just let Long Tian handle it. Even if Long Tian can't solve it, we have buffer time."
Grand Master Lin Jinnan immediately stood up to object.
Lin Jinnan's idea is very simple. Preserving strength is the most important thing the prince should do at the moment.
"Your Highness, if we ignore it, it will be troublesome if things develop out of control."
"The most ideal result of this matter is that both sides will suffer losses, but I am worried about accidents. If Long Tian wins, it will be troublesome. Although it is a bit far-fetched, given the mystery of the northern border, such accidents are not impossible."
"Your Highness, my lords, assuming that the rebellion in Zhenzhou is quelled by Long Tian, and Danzhou falls into Long Tian's hands because of the failure of the sixth prince, then in our south, Long Tian will control the power of the two states."
"In the north, Zhangzhou and Yunzhou are now fighting fiercely, and Long Tian is preparing for war in Zongzhou and may attack these two states at any time. I To our north, only Xingzhou is in the front, and Yue Fei, who is entrenched in Qingzhou, has already started to fight back. It is still unknown whether the second prince can be Yue Fei's opponent. "
"The worst result is that Xingzhou and Leizhou can barely hold on, but they are also caught in war and will become our biggest drag, and for Long Tian, the territory that may be occupied will be greatly increased."
"If this happens, half of Xia Kingdom will fall into Long Tian's hands. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with the northern border."
The Grand Guardian Lu Qing stepped forward and pointed to the map of Xia Kingdom and talked freely. This is not alarmist. After all, Zhenzhou and even Danzhou can be ignored by others, but the royal family cannot.
Although it is said that things have not developed to this point at present, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If the worst happens, it will be a huge trouble.
"What do you think, Lord Lu?"
The prince is not stupid. He knows that if this happens, it will be a situation that cannot be reversed, even if he sits on the throne.
Especially Long Tian's strategy at the moment is aimed at the power of the royal family. The princes of other states are eager for such a chaotic situation to occur. No one will help the royal family.
With so many heroes fighting for power, no matter how strong the royal family is, it is just a stretch.
"Your Highness, I think we can't let Long Tian do whatever he wants. Zhenzhou and Danzhou must not be abandoned. The court should send troops. At the same time, order the second prince to send troops to Danzhou. After explaining the pros and cons, the second prince should obey orders."
"At the same time, take over the battle of Zhenzhou in the name of the court and order Long Tian to return to the northern border to resist Liang State. In terms of justice, the court has the upper hand. Long Tian has no reason to refuse. Only in this way can the development of the northern border be restricted."
"Unless Long Tian immediately raises the banner of rebellion, he will not go against the court. We will have time to slowly deal with the affairs of the northern border."
Lv Qing expressed his opinions.
"Lord Lu, the Jin army has 2 million soldiers, and King Xiaoyao also controls a million troops. It is too difficult for us to fight against or even defeat such a huge force. How can the court mobilize so many troops?"
Prime Minister Yan Tianyu and Grand Tutor Lin Jinnan have almost the same idea, that is, to preserve strength.
Once the troops are sent out to fight, all the troops controlled by the court will be exhausted. What about Zhongzhou and Kyoto?
If any of the states around Kyoto has problems at this time, it will cause irreversible consequences.
"Everyone,Long Tian only has tens of thousands of cavalry and a dozen generals, but he has made the Jin soldiers and King Xiaoyao so exhausted that they cannot make any progress. Are the millions of troops of my court not as good as the tens of thousands of people in the northern border? "
"Although I am not good at military affairs, I know one thing: an incompetent general can kill thousands of troops. An excellent commander can play a more important role on the battlefield than thousands of troops. Isn't the reason why the northern border is so difficult to deal with because of the existence of these generals? Can't the court select a few excellent commanders after raising the army for so many years? "
What Lu Qing said was somewhat provocative, especially for the military commander Su Jingshan, who was in charge of the military. He was a little embarrassed, but what he said was the truth, and Su Jingshan had no words to object.
They dared to fight against a country with more than three million troops with only tens of thousands of people. Could it be that the court could not do it?
It really couldn't be done. Su Jingshan asked himself. Even if he had not surrendered to Long Tian, he had to admit that there were no such powerful cavalry and excellent generals in the court army.
Putting himself in their shoes, the court might not be able to fill their teeth if it sent tens of thousands of people.
The court could not provide the elite cavalry formed by the fifth-grade warriors. Sending other ordinary military branches would be useless no matter how many people there were. At most, they would be evenly matched.
Suddenly, Su Jingshan thought that if they were evenly matched, it seemed to be a good choice for the North. This would involve most of the court's troops and would also be of great benefit to the layout of the North.
"Your Highness, if the court decides to send troops, I am willing to go to the battle myself. "
Su Jingshan seemed to speak out under the pressure of Lu Qing, but in fact, Su Jingshan looked at Lu Qing thoughtfully. This guy's proposal was not the best choice for the court.
Although it sounds reasonable, the actual situation is that the court should focus on maintaining stability, but Lu Qing's statement cannot be opposed by everyone, this is the righteousness.
"My lords, this matter is of great importance, let me think about it again."
The prince did not make a decision immediately, mainly because he wanted to discuss it with Yan Tianyu in secret.
The prince did not trust other people. After all, he was not yet fully grown, so he had to be cautious.
