Chapter 1690 Chess Player
Su Lun sighed: "The general is complaining about these things now, which is of no use to the overall situation. In addition to conveying Mr. Da's wishes, asking the general to stick to Liaoyang, I came here this time to do something that may make the general feel better."
"What's the matter?"
"A few months ago, an accident happened in Youzhou." Su Lun said: "Youzhou governor Huang Kui almost poisoned the assassin Zhu Danyang and seized power in Youzhou, but the man behind the scenes was Tantai Xuanye."
Wang Xingchao frowned and said, "I have heard a little bit about it, but I don't know the details."
"After Tantai Xuanye usurped power, he used various means to seize the power of the states. Both Youzhou and Xuzhou made moves, but failed to succeed." Su Lun said: "However, Zhu Danyang escaped death and attacked Tantai Xuanye.
He hates him deeply, so his attitude towards the imperial court is thought-provoking."
Wang Xingchao asked: "What do you mean?"
"Tantai Xuanye has taken control of the capital, and Zhu Danyang knows in his heart that if he is defeated by Kyoto, his fate will definitely be difficult." Su Lun said: "She Yue raised troops in Xuzhou. Although Zhu Danyang has not expressed his position, if nothing unexpected happens,
, he should be leaning toward Musk Moon in his heart. As long as the situation develops further, Youzhou is likely to raise its flag to respond to Musk Moon."
Wang Xingchao looked deeply, thought for a moment, and then said: "Go on."
"Now it depends on the outcome of the Battle of Xuzhou." Su Lun said: "I just got the news yesterday that 20,000 Shence troops have arrived in Yanzhou, and a vanguard force has not been delayed and will continue to move towards Yuzhou within a month at most.
, the Shence Army will attack Xuzhou."
Wang Xingchao asked: "What then?"
"As long as the Shence Army attacks Xuzhou, they will die without a burial place." Su
Lun smiled and said: "This is the strongest army in Kyoto. As long as it can be wiped out, Mr. Da will seize several states in a short time and have enough strength to compete with Kyoto. I can do it."
I guarantee that when the time comes, Youzhou will raise its flag to respond, and the Youzhou army will also be ordered to leave the border and attack Long Rui's lair from the west. By then, the general's dilemma will be easily solved."
Wang Xingchao frowned and said, "Are you so sure?"
"Mr. Da only made a mistake once, and that was Qin Xiao." Su Lun said: "And he will never make a mistake a second time."
Wang Xingchao looked thoughtful.
"So the general doesn't need to be too anxious." Su Lun said: "By holding back Long Rui's army, the general will make great achievements. On the day when Mr. Great achieves great things, he will be rewarded based on his merits. The general will be the first to achieve great achievements.
Sir, Mr. Da has promised you that as long as you accomplish great things, you will confer the title of King of the Northeast on the general, and the four counties in the Northeast will be your legitimate fiefdom."
Wang Xingchao picked up the tea cup, looked deeply, and said calmly: "Master Su, do you think Mr. Da can really sit on that chair in the end?"
"God will protect you." Su Lun said firmly and solemnly, "I have no doubt about this."
Wang Xingchao smiled faintly and said: "A grudge requires thousands of lives. I would like to see who is the final winner in this chess game!"
The sage far away in Kyoto naturally knew nothing about the affair between Mr. Da and Wang Xingchao.
Tantai Xuanye hurriedly walked in the corridor of the palace and entered a warm pavilion of the palace. He saw the saint sitting at a table with a book in his hand.
What surprised Tantai Xuanye was that today the saint was already a dragon
With his robe still on him, he had been sitting on that chair for twenty years, and he had a calm and authoritative temperament.
Seeing Tantai Xuanye come in, the saint put down his scroll, raised his head and said, "You're here!"
"Isn't the saint suffering from physical discomfort?" Tantai Xuanye was a little confused when he saw that the saint was fine and fine.
The sage smiled lightly and said: "You have been busy with so many things recently, and you seem to have forgotten my existence. I asked someone to spread the message like this just to see if you would come quickly."
"It's good that the saint is fine." Tantai Xuanye said: "The saint sent someone to send word that the dragon is unwell, so naturally I will rush over."
The saint asked: "Are you really worried about me, or are you worried that the puppet in your hand dies and it will be detrimental to you?"
Tantai Xuanye frowned and said, "Why did the saint say this?"
"You don't have to worry about it." The saint smiled faintly, leaned on the chair, and said warmly: "I want to drink, please pour me a glass of wine!"
Tantai Xuanye didn't say much. He was very familiar with this place and knew where to pour the wine.
The saint used to like to drink grape wine, but he seemed to be even more addicted to wine these days, and he drank with Tantai Xuanye several times.
After pouring a glass of wine, the saint took it and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to accompany me?"
"We will discuss matters later." Tantai Xuanye said, "Don't dare to drink too much. I will come to accompany you after the meeting."
The saint held the glass cup, stared at the blood-red wine in the cup, and asked: "Should you also report the current situation to me? Last time you asked me to issue an edict to mobilize the Shence Army to quell the chaos, you seem to have
It’s been a long time since I’ve been informed of the situation.”
Tantai Xuanye was startled, but he still said calmly: "The saint's dragon body needs to recuperate, so
!”
"I have been raised now." The saint put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Tantai Xuanye, and asked: "Tantai, since I became pregnant, I have left many things to you to take care of, because I don't want to go too far.
Tiredness affects the child in your belly. In the past year, you have been in great power, and the lives and deaths of countless people have been in your hands. Have you become obsessed with the power in your hands? "
Tantai Xuanye frowned.
There is obviously something wrong with the saint's words today.
"I have been sitting on that chair for twenty years." The saint sighed quietly: "I am the only one who dominates the sun, moon, heaven and earth. I have become accustomed to the feeling of controlling everything, and I prefer that kind of taste. You should know that for that chair
I will pay any price for the chair."
Tantai Xuanye said: "A saint will always be a saint, and that chair will always belong to you."
"But I feel that you seem to be used to giving orders, and you seem to really regard me as a puppet." The saint smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Do you feel that I have been obeying your orders in the past year and am really afraid of you?
?”
"I don't dare!" Tantai Xuanye's eyes became sharp and he said: "The saint is the emperor and will not be afraid of anyone."
The saint nodded and said: "Yes, I am the emperor. Only the people in the world are afraid of me. How can I be afraid of anyone?" But he raised his hand and waved to Tantai Xuanye. Tantai Xuanye hesitated and stepped forward a few steps.
Step, walk to the desk.
"I'm telling you, if I want to give it to you, just take it. If I don't want to give it to you, don't take it away." The saint's eyes became sharp: "I will not become anyone's puppet!"
Tantai Xuanye was stared at by the saint's sharp eyes, and he actually felt a kind of
Strange feeling.
He couldn't tell what it felt like, but he had the feeling of standing naked in front of the other person, as if he had nothing to hide.
He actually felt a little uneasy.
"Where is Chengyun?" Tantai Xuanye looked around. Recently, the saint had been taking care of the child personally, but at this moment, he could not see the child nearby.
The saint did not answer, but simply asked: "Has the Shence Army arrived in Yanzhou?"
"Yes." Tantai Xuanye said: "He Taiji and Fang Hui have led 20,000 Shence troops to Yanzhou. According to the plan, Fang Hui did not stay in Yanzhou, but quickly rushed to Xuchang, Yuzhou with 3,000 cavalry. He brought
In accordance with the holy edict, the Yuzhou camp was absorbed by She Yue, leaving Xuchang empty and without troops to defend it. As long as Fang Hui comes to the city with the imperial edict, Zhao Tuo, the governor of Yuzhou, will definitely open the city to welcome him."
"Yuzhou is the important granary of the Tang Dynasty, so we must not lose anything." The sage nodded slightly and said, "What is She Yue doing in Xuzhou?"
Tantai Xuanye said: "It is reported that She Yue did not act rashly. I thought she would send troops to rob Yuzhou. If so, it would be a decisive battle in Yuzhou. Although the number of soldiers and horses under her command is not large, both Yanzhou Camp and Yuzhou Camp are
Among them, the soldiers and horses of various states are mixed, and it is impossible for everyone to work together in a short period of time. Once the decisive battle is held in Yuzhou, the imperial court has an 80% chance of winning, so it can be decided in one battle." After a pause, he frowned and said: "But this time she
But he was very calm and did not send troops to Yuzhou. Instead, he overhauled fortifications in Xuzhou City, seemingly to defend Xuzhou."
The saint smiled calmly and said: "It seems that she is not too stupid."
"If she holds on to Xuzhou, then our army must
Fight quickly and decide quickly." Tantai Xuanye said solemnly: "The states are ready to make a move. If we cannot fight quickly and decide quickly, and the long-term battle in Xuzhou is ineffective, some people with ulterior motives may take the opportunity to rebel."
The saint thought for a moment and then asked: "How is the situation over there in Jiangnan?"
"A large number of people from Ziyi Prison have been sent to Jiangnan before." Tantai Xuanye said: "In the name of rectifying the army, the people from Ziyi Prison temporarily control the military power in Jiangnan. However, Sheyue has a deep foundation in Jiangnan, and the three Jiangnan
Many officials in the state are still her people. Although Ziyi Jian can control the situation for the time being, he may not be able to control it over time." After a pause, he said: "So I have discussed with everyone and still need to dispatch troops and horses.
Jiangnan stabilizes the situation."
"She Yue will not give up Jiangnan." The saint said calmly: "Although she has no experience in leading troops, she is not stupid. She knows that without Jiangnan in her hands, she will be unable to compete with the imperial court." After thinking for a while, he asked: "
You said you want to mobilize troops to Jiangnan, where will you mobilize them from?"
Tantai Xuanye said: "Xuzhou is rebelling. The states must stabilize the situation, so the state soldiers cannot move lightly." After a pause, he said: "I am going to ask the saint for an order to send troops from the border army to the south."
"The border troops are going south?" The saint said, "You mean the four towns in the north?"
"The four towns in the north must be on guard against the Tusun people, so naturally they cannot be mobilized easily." Tantai Xuanye said: "But among the four towns, Rouxuan has the largest number of soldiers and horses, with 30,000 people, so I thought that we could at least take advantage of Rouxuan.
The town mobilized 10,000 to 15,000 people to go south. The frontier troops had rich combat experience and were extremely brave. If they went south smoothly, they could defeat the gods who attacked Xuzhou.
Ce's army detached some troops to station in the south of the Yangtze River, while Rouxuan's army was used to attack Xuzhou."
The saint stared at Tantai Xuanye with sharp eyes. After a moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips and said: "Jing'an Hou, if you really achieve this, you will kill three birds with one stone!"
Tantai Xuanye said calmly: "Previously, the saint ordered a wedding and sent several groups of envoys to Rouxuan Town to recruit Taishi Cunxu to return to the capital. He refused to return to the capital on the grounds of being injured. This is already a violation of the order. I will also have to retaliate.
, the imperial court asked Woye Town Guard General Liu Jinggang to go to Rouxuan Town to take over the military power, but Rouxuan ignored it at all, and Taishi Cunxu personally came forward to drive Liu Jinggang back to Woye. For this reason, Liu Jinjiang and the Woye generals jointly wrote a book
, to impeach Taishi Cunxu for resisting the decree." Staring at the saint, he said: "Now the saint has made another decree to mobilize troops from Rouxuan Town to quell the rebellion. If Taishi Cunxu continues to resist the decree, the court can directly label him as a traitor.
, you can order other roadside troops to suppress the rebellion!"
