I, make my own

Chapter 81 Countermeasures, Weird King Qing

"Your Majesty, the current situation at the Dingkun Border Pass is extremely dangerous. It is reasonable to dispatch the Huben Army and Tiqi Guards to respond there. Why do you want to send troops against King Qi?"

Bai Wudang spoke anxiously, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Yuan Xing frowned, thoughtfully said:

"Could it be that Your Majesty is worried that King Qi will fall to the Jin Ge Dynasty?"

"good."

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, I got an important piece of information that King Qi secretly cultivated an army of 18. Counting his [-] army on the surface, this is [-] troops."

"Although King Qi is ambitious, King Guo and King Pingyuan have fallen, King Min and King Wuling have fallen to the court again, and four of the vassal kings of the Nine Towns have gone."

"In addition to the disastrous defeat of the Ten-way Alliance tonight, King Qi will be terrified once the news comes back. Under the fear, there is no guarantee that he will not collude with the Jin Ge Dynasty."

"If he uses [-] troops to pin down the Xifeng frontier army from behind and front, and then manages to surprise the border with [-] hidden soldiers, and cooperates with Jin Ge's army inside and outside, the Xifeng frontier army will definitely be defeated!"

"Therefore, the Huben army must be dispatched to restrain and bind his hands and feet."

"An army of 18... This King Qi is really a good trick!"

Everyone gasped, and their faces were a little ugly.

"If King Qi really votes for Jin Ge, then there will be big troubles."

"As a result, whether it is the Dingkun border gate in the southwest or the Xifeng border gate in the west, it will be in a difficult situation."

"After all, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great. If one is not careful, Dingkun Prefecture and Xifeng Prefecture will be devastated. Even, I will have to..."

"There is also King Dongshan and King Qing who has been calm all the time. If they are in chaos again, this..."

After briefly sorting out the situation, except for Zhou Xin, the rest of the people looked heavy and their eyes were full of sadness.

After a few breaths of silence, Yuan Xinghu's eyes fixed.

"Your Majesty, the current strategy is probably the only one that can be combined vertically and horizontally."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhou Xin raised his hand without showing any signs of expression.

"Yes! Your Majesty, although Gao Song's Northern Army has 50 people, it also needs to guard against the four borders."

"Now, Gao Song has dispatched 30 troops to approach our Great Perimeter Pass, so they only have 20 troops remaining in the other three sides."

"Even if they didn't set aside troops to defend against the Great Chu army in the south, they would have at most [-] troops on the border with the Silla Dynasty and the Bihai Dynasty, and [-] troops at the border with the Jin Ge Dynasty."

"So, we can do the following."

"First, use 14 Silla captives as a bargaining chip to force the Silla emperor to attack the northern part of Dachu!"

"Secondly, send envoys to the Bihai Dynasty to persuade the Bihai Dynasty to send troops to the northern part of Chu with the temptation of having fewer enemies and more profits!"

"Thirdly, send envoys to the palace of Great Chu, and use the joint efforts of both sides to kill Gao Song and help them solve their serious troubles as bargaining chips, and lead Great Chu to send troops to the north!"

"Even if the Great Chu Dynasty didn't see the rabbits and wouldn't scatter eagles, and refused to directly fight Gao Song, out of its own interests, it would use the excuse of sending troops to support Gao Song to approach the north."

"If this plan succeeds, even if it is just to move two of them, then Gao Song will not dare to act rashly again. The danger of Dingkun can be solved."

"In addition, we can also send envoys to the Jin Ge Dynasty, and use the joint efforts of all parties to destroy Gao Song together and carve up the northern part of Great Chu as a bait."

"Although this move has a low chance of success, it can test the attitude of Jin Ge Dynasty on the one hand, and divide the voices inside Jin Ge Dynasty on the other, so as to buy time as much as possible."

After listening to Yuan Xing's suggestion, Zhou Xin's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded appreciatively.

"Aiqing's plan is good. You can act accordingly, but you need to increase your bargaining chips and increase your initiative. Because after tomorrow, the Dingkun border will turn from danger to safety."

"Since Gao Song dares to show his sword against me, Da Zhou, he will bear the bitter fruit of his own making!"

"This time, we simply took the opportunity to unite with all parties to injure it severely, so as to pave the way for the future."

Hearing this, Yuan Xing was stunned for a moment, and then lifted his spirits and said, "Your Majesty already has a solution to Dingkun's chaos? Could it be that General Ankun Zhu Zilei is pretending to join forces with King Shahai?"

"Zhu Zilei has indeed betrayed, but he wants to drag my frontier army to betray me and the court. Hmph, he's thinking too much!"

Zhou Xin snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Although Zhou Xin didn't say it clearly, Yuan Xing also had a guess through these words.

Perhaps, this Dingkun frontier army is the same as that Beicang frontier army?
Under General Zhenbei, there is General Dingbei, and under General An Kun, there is also General Ning Kun?
General Ning Kun, is that him?
Yuan Xing's eyes lit up suddenly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face...

……

Early the next morning, Ziwei Hall.

Seeing the many new faces appearing in the hall, all the old court officials had complicated expressions and secretly sighed.

Most people were kept in the dark about last night's change, and they didn't know anything.

It wasn't until the curfew was lifted at dawn that they realized that the chaos last night was the rebellion of a group of rebellious officials and thieves.

Four vassal kings, three princes, a prime minister, plus a former prince, as well as the Tianji Tower and other forces in the world.

With such power, their names alone are enough to scare people to death, not to mention their military strength and vicious schemes.

But even so, even though the defense of the imperial capital was extremely empty, the imperial court still won a complete victory. This has to be said to be an unimaginable miracle!

More importantly, after this battle, the hidden dangers of the court, such as the line of prime ministers and the line of three kings, were swept away. In the future, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty will finally no longer have intrigues and intrigues—at least in general.

In addition, the vassal kings have always been the biggest burden and shackles of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the nine towns vassal kings have eliminated two and won the second, the overall situation of reducing the vassals is expected to be successful!

The ministers secretly sighed while paying attention to the ongoing rewards.

Leaving aside other material and nominal rewards, there are many promotions in position alone.

For example, Dai Huwei General Ma Yue was officially promoted to the new Huwei General, and Dingbei General Xu Dazhi was promoted to Zhenbei General and became the chief general of the Beicang Frontier Army.

For another example, Dai Zuizhi restored Li Keguan to his original post and became General Kokang again.

And Li Ruo, who made great contributions in the battle to suppress the rebel soldiers yesterday, was also promoted to the new Jinwu because of the unfortunate death of the Jinwu He Yan last night.

In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu was succeeded by Feng Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment was succeeded by Bao Wenze, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites was succeeded by Xun Wen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The position of Zongzheng was given to Jue Wang Zhou Yunjue, who was indifferent to fame and fortune and liked to walk birds and fight dogs.

When these rewards were over, the spirits of the officials improved a bit, because the next step was to arrange for Wuling King Nie Kaishan.

"God Bless God Zhou, Emperor Wude, issued an imperial edict:
Here is Nie Kaishan, the king of Wuling, who has a deep understanding of righteousness and insight into the disasters of the feudal clan, and has submitted to the court three times in succession, saying: Willing to abdicate the feudal clan and return to the mountains and forests.

After that, he broke into the rebels and led a large army to help the court solve the disaster of treason.

This means: virtuous and loyal, brave and fearless, my heart is very comforting.

For this reason, what he said was removed from the throne of Wuling King, but his request to return to the mountains and forests was denied.

Nie Kaishan is a meritorious official of the imperial court and must be rewarded.

Today, Nie Kaishan is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, a loyal general, an official in leisure time, and a general in wartime, so as to encourage his ambition and show his achievements!
In addition, Nie Yun, the son of Nie Kaishan, was ordered to be the imperial guard with a knife, to accompany me and protect me!
I love this~"

After Leng Yun finished announcing the imperial decree, Nie Kaishan, who was overjoyed, completely let go of his worries, and hurriedly pulled Nie Yun to his knees to thank him.

"My lord, thank you Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Nie Kaishan was overjoyed, Nie Yun was a little dazed, and all the courtiers were also filled with emotion.

Since ancient times, many people have killed donkeys, but looking at His Majesty's arrangement, it is obviously not like this.

That's the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, not some vain position, let alone a general's title.

Although this loyal general does not have an army under his direct command, at least he still has a chance to go to the battlefield.

This opportunity not only gave Nie Kaishan further possibilities, but also showed his attitude of reliance and trust, which is very important.

If not, even if Nie Kaishan is the Minister of the Ministry of War, no official in the court would dare to associate with him, let alone get close to him.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. What are rivers and lakes?The rivers and lakes are the sophistication of the world.

If there is no relationship with the world, Nie Kaishan will be abolished sooner or later.

……

At this moment when the court meeting was going on, suddenly an internal servant walked in softly from the side door, then ran with his head down, and found Leng Yun.

After hearing what the waiter whispered, Leng Yun's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to report to Zhou Xin in a low voice, Zhou Xin waved his hand.

"It's okay to be blunt."

"Yes! Your Majesty, Palace Master Jing'an Sisun asked to see him, and said that it was Prince Qing who had acted strangely."

There are five halls in the Jing'an Division, and Sun Dianlin, the master of the East Hall, is in charge of the eastern region of the Great Zhou.

"Announce it."

Zhou Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he spit out two words lightly.

"Yes!"

Leng Yun bowed his head respectfully, then turned around and shouted at the gate of the palace.

"Xuan Sun Dianlin enters the palace~"

After more than ten breaths, a middle-aged man with a mustache who looked a bit vicissitudes entered the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty! King Qing Luo Changqing suddenly removed his name as King Qing, dismissed the vassals, moved out of the palace, and invited Jing'an Division to stay in and guard him."

"His book surrendered, saying that he was ashamed of his trust in His Majesty, and he was willing to demote himself to be a commoner, and return to the mountains and forests, and never ask about common things."

"At the same time, he also said that he has ordered a credible general to lead his army to kill the Dongshan King's domain, and offer a gift to suppress the Dongshan King, and beg His Majesty to allow him to return to seclusion."

"As confirmed by the Jing'an Department of Dongsheng Prefecture, King Qing's [-] troops have indeed marched towards King Dongshan of Changgen Prefecture!"

"The situation is urgent and bizarre, so I dare to go to the palace to report, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

After listening to Sun Dianlin's report, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the officials whispered to each other and talked a lot.

King Qing has always been mysterious, and has always been a firm neutral faction. He will not offend anyone, and he does not want to get close to anyone.

But now, which one is this acting on?
Self-removal of the vassal position, self-demotion to the people, simply surrendering everything, and even sending a large army under his command to help the court crusade against Dongshan King, this is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

This King Qing, what exactly is he planning?
Is there an unknown, sinister and vicious conspiracy behind him?
