Chapter 168 Chaotian Emperor
Toward the Kingdom of Heaven, above the court.
The matter of Li Zilai's rebellion has been hurriedly sent to the residences of senior officials at all levels in the Chaotian Kingdom. They are either happy or worried. Today, the court will also discuss the outcome of this matter.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." He shouted, bowing to the ministers of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven said calmly, "Pingsheng."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Dear sirs, do you have something to report?" The emperor looked through the memorials on the table in front of him boredly. In recent years, the country has been peaceful and peaceful, and there has been almost nothing worth worrying about, which makes the emperor extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, Li Zilai, the governor of Liyang Prefecture, has rebelled." The first person to speak was not the political opponents of the Feng family and Li Zilai, but the Minister of War. This time it fell within his scope of authority. No matter what, he would always have to The person who said the last two sentences said, "Your Majesty, please send troops to attack."
The emperor blinked his eyes, but no one paid him any attention. He blinked a few more times, but still no one paid him any attention. He couldn't help but said angrily: "What does the prince think of this matter? Should we send troops?"
How did the ignorant prince know that his emperor had already talked about him and forced him to wade through the muddy water, but when the emperor asked a question, he had no choice but to answer it, so he bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, my lord." I thought that General Li Zilai had fought for his country all his life, so there might be some misunderstanding in this matter."
The emperor put his hand on his forehead and took the stupid son in front of him for a spanking. The swords were already drawn. Does it matter whether there is a misunderstanding or not? He said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous. Even if there is a huge misunderstanding, how can it be done?" Can we rebel without success?"
The dissatisfaction with the prince in his heart became a little bit more. The emperor knew who Li Zilai was following to rebel, and he had no intention of voiding the ancestral contract, but as an emperor, he could not say, "I don't want the seventeen eastern states anymore. Send them to me." "Give it to them." The emperor would never say such a thing, even if this was his true intention.
There had to be a few ministers with enough weight to remonstrate, talk about Li Zilai's merits, and talk about a lot of misunderstandings. Finally, the emperor once again looked like "it's all because of your beloved ministers" and agreed. Come down. This is an operation that everyone is happy with.
It's just a pity that this set of operations that Chaotian Kingdom has used many times can no longer be carried out by the Crown Prince. Naturally, the Crown Prince knows the emperor's intentions, otherwise he would not have said such words as "There is a misunderstanding", but he just knows Right intention, wrong method.
Speaking of which, Chaotian Kingdom has seventy-two states, which has reached the upper limit allowed by Kunlun Mountain. It is the most powerful kingdom in the world together with Fengxian Kingdom. Although both countries have seventy-two states, Chaotian Kingdom has seventy-two states. The influence in the mortal world is far beyond what Fengxian Kingdom can match.
Chaotian Kingdom is the overlord respected by all mortals. As long as Kunlun Mountain does not say anything, Chaotian Kingdom will be respected in the world. Even the other thirty-six Kunlun Kingdoms will not easily refute Chaotian Kingdom's face. But they also sit on it. The Fengxian Kingdom in the Seventy-Two Prefectures is not so strong and can only settle down in a corner.
In the final analysis, it was the Chaotian Kingdom that had implemented the strategy for many generations. When the Feng Kingdom left, the Chaotian Kingdom did not stop them. Instead, it sent several states of land as a gift, and also helped the Feng Kingdom to fend off many dangers. The royal family of the Feng Kingdom followed the Chaotian Kingdom, and received the favor of the Chaotian Kingdom. The Feng Kingdom was naturally close to the Chaotian Kingdom.
As for the lost land of several states, Chaotian Kingdom can easily replace it with other small countries, which is equivalent to adding another country as an ally out of thin air. Chaotian Kingdom has done this kind of thing a lot, and has specific procedures.
The crown prince did not follow the procedures. Fortunately, there were other ministers in the court who knew the general rules and etiquette, and followed the procedures. For a while, the court was noisy like a vegetable market, and in the end, naturally, they turned to the emperor to see what he wanted to see.
It developed in the right direction. Even those people who had long-cherished wishes with Li Zilai did not cause trouble, and no one had any thoughts of becoming the emperor.
However, because there are now three people in charge of the seventeen states in the east, Emperor Chaotian cannot just hand over these seventeen states. He needs to take care of the emotions of the three families. He issued an edict: "King Dong, King Nanyu, King Beiyu
The three kings put down the rebellion."
The opportunity has been given to them. It depends on whether these three kings can seize the opportunity. If they can't stop Fengyun Shang's army and lose the east, there will be nothing to say. Emperor Chaotian can still punish him a little. If Fengyun Shang takes it himself
If you don't come down, you can either leave Chaotian Kingdom obediently, or exchange it for the seventeen eastern states with other things.
The tone set in the court was quickly conveyed to the three kings in the east. Originally, the Feng family dominated the seventeen eastern states. Now, the seventeen eastern states are shared by the three kings and manage affairs together. Although the titles are the same
Dongwang, but the authority of Dongwang surnamed Li is not a little less than that of Dongwang surnamed Feng.
Moreover, this Dongwang surnamed Li is very self-aware. The king of the eastern part of Chaotian Kingdom is not him, and naturally he will not be the two guys who are just filling in, King Beiyu and King Nanyu. At least within a hundred, the kings in the east are surnamed Feng.
With this realization in mind, Dong Wang, surnamed Li, did not go to clear up Feng Yun Shang and others immediately, but began to gradually eliminate Feng's connections in the east.
This kind of thing has been done once, and the superficial power of Chaotian Feng Sect has been almost eradicated. However, Dongwang surnamed Li knew clearly that there were still many people who cared about Feng Yun Shang in the seventeen eastern states. They were hidden in the past.
It's very deep and cannot be found, but now that Li Zilai has created a method, he can follow the clues to find these people and then eradicate them.
As a result, the only ones who came to support Peizhou were a few states adjacent to Peizhou, and they came spontaneously. The number of troops was not very large, with a total of only 150,000 troops.
"Report, there is only one day left until the nearest reinforcements arrive here." The sentinel came to report on Pegasus. Li Zi came to look at Feng Yun Shang and said respectfully: "Please give the order, General."
"Please give me your order, General." The other generals headed by Feng Qiyang also bowed and bowed.
"The whole army attacks and the battle will be over within an hour." Fengyun Shang pulled out several small flags representing his own side from the sand table and planted them on the Peizhou military camp.
"promise."
After a few days, Li Zilai and Fengyun Shang had completely figured out the situation in the Peizhou Army camp. Under the deliberate guidance of the two of them, the commander of the Peizhou Army even changed the camp's formation, which was more conducive to the advance of the army.
When the cry to kill rang out, the Peizhou Army just mechanically picked up their weapons and fought without feeling anything wrong. After all, the two sides had fought so many times in the past few days that it was already numbing.
"Boom." The built trebuchet was launched brazenly. Although it did not hit many people, it was a good blow to the morale of the Peizhou Army. After hearing the sound of the boulder falling to the ground, the commander of the Peizhou Army immediately ordered:
: "It has been reported that all the soldiers in the camp have gathered together to prepare for battle."
The defending side has a certain advantage relatively speaking, and the Pingzhou Army has a numerical advantage. Therefore, when defending in the past few days, it has been divided into two batches. This can also ensure that there are always ordinary people in the camp to maintain
It was in relatively good condition. But this time the commander-in-chief of the Peizhou Army smelled danger and sent everyone in the camp out.
Because before this, Fengyun Shang had never used trebuchets. Firstly, because the number of trebuchets was limited and they only served as a deterrent; secondly, because they were now in the wilderness, and there were not many boulders launched by the trebuchets.
There is no more, so you have to use it sparingly.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Prompted by these words, the commander of the Peizhou Army sent out all the troops in the camp, which surprised Feng Yun Shang. Because the original defense was divided into two groups, he and
The elements guided by Li Zilai are included.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is not enough. You have to lead the other side by the nose to win every battle. Of course, it is too difficult to do this. That is, the commander of the Peizhou Army and Li Zilai are not on the same level, so he will be led.
Just walk on your nose. A famous general on the battlefield, even a famous general of Fengyun Shang's level, would not be so passive.
The order from the commander-in-chief of the Peizhou Army only caused some trouble to the army under Fengyun Shang, but it did not change the tragedy of the entire army being destroyed. Fengyun Shang did not personally lead the charge this time, and now the lives of hundreds of thousands of people depend on it.
On his shoulders, it can no longer be so rough.
Most of the soldiers of the Peizhou Army were recruited from the local area of Peizhou. If they were to be killed, they would definitely be enmity with the people of Peizhou. Now Fengyun Shang and his men are not very powerful, so in order not to have any enmity with the people.
He had a non-grudge mentality and did not kill too many people. Those who laid down their weapons survived.
After gathering the prisoners, Fengyun Shang quickly assembled his team and headed in the direction of the reinforcements. It was obviously unrealistic to wait for all the reinforcements to gather together, and the news of the destruction of the Peizhou Army could not be concealed. Therefore, Fengyun Shang and
After Li Zilai made the calculation, he decided to divide his forces.
Feng Qiyang and Hu Defu led one group, Fengyun Shang went alone, and Li Zilai went alone. They divided into three lines to intercept the reinforcements from several nearby states. The reinforcements in each state were about 30,000. After Fengyun Shang and the others were divided into three lines, each line was about 30,000.
, the number of people is equal, even if victory cannot be achieved, it is still possible to escape intact.
