Volume 10 Chapter 498
Chapter 498
Chizhou and Gu Rao counties are adjacent to Feng State, An State in the south, Yu State in the northwest, and Huang State in the southwest. The location is very convenient and has unique advantages. !.
After the Huan State envoy was rejected by An Wang Yue Ze, Huan Wang Li Xin immediately ordered to accompany the envoy to An State again, and to get back a county no matter what. However, the second envoy sent by Huan State was still hastily sent back by Yue Ze. As for the issue of giving up a county, he just asked Huan State to wait a little longer, and he had to consider it. To put it bluntly, Yue Ze just wanted to delay it. After ten or eight years, Chizhou and Gu Rao would be completely integrated with An State, and they could not be divided even if they wanted to.
How could Li Xin not understand Yue Ze's thoughts? His anger had reached its peak, but under the persuasion of many ministers, Li Xin did not act impulsively and sent envoys to An State again.
But this time, Yue Ze did not even meet the Huan State envoy, but asked a prime minister and a long historian to receive him on his behalf. Such treatment was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for the envoy of Huan State, and it was not just him who was humiliated, but the entire Huan State.
The next day, the envoy of Huan State left the capital of An State, Yuzhen, in anger, returned to Huan State, and reported the situation to Li Xin.
After listening to the envoy's story, Li Xin's anger rushed to his head, and his body trembled with anger. In front of all the ministers, he cursed Yue Ze as a villain who forgot his loyalty for the sake of profit and a coward!
At this time, the ministers of Huan State were also filled with righteous indignation. An State was now ruthless and righteous, and had completely forgotten the original alliance. In this war against Mo, Huan and An sent troops and fought together. In the end, Huan State got nothing, but An State enjoyed two counties and a large amount of spoils. Now it is only asked to divide one county and refuses. The king is right to curse. An State is a villain who forgets his loyalty for the sake of profit.
General Wu Zheng of Huan State stepped out of the line, bowed to Li Xin, and said in a shocking voice: "Your Majesty, An Guo is bullying us too much. This is intolerable. I think that our country must get one of Chizhou and Gu Rao. Since An Guo will not give it, our country should send troops to seize it!"
When they heard that they were going to use troops, the ministers present took a breath of cold air at the same time. They were angry, but they also knew in their hearts that once they used troops, the consequences would not be controlled by their side.
However, Wu Zheng's words were exactly what Li Xin wanted. He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "General Wu is right. If this matter is left unresolved, where will our country's face be? How can we gain a foothold among the nations in the future?"
At this point, he stood up and shouted: "Qingyun Hou listen to my order!"
As Li Xin spoke, a man stood up among the generals. He was in his early forties, with a white face and black beard, a handsome appearance, a burly figure, and a tiger back and a wasp waist.
This is the famous general Lu Chen of Huan State, and one of the four great military marquises of Huan State. The other three great military marquises of Huan State are Qian Chong, Marquis of Zixi, Jiang Yang, Marquis of Nanting, and Jin Sheng, Marquis of Lianping. These four famous generals also constitute the main pillars of Huan State's strength.
After Lu Chen stepped out, he saluted and said, "I am here!"
Li Xin leaned forward, pressed the table with both hands, and said word by word, "Marquis Qingyun, I will give you 200,000 troops, stockpiled at the border between my country and Chizhou, as soon as you receive the order from me, your troops must immediately rush into Chizhou."
"I obey your order!" Lu Chen saluted again and returned to his original position.
Seeing that the king was ready to fight with Anguo, the Imperial Censor Cheng Sixian was very anxious and hurried out of the line, clasping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, you can't do that. Now our country is sandwiched between the two powerful countries of Fengchuan, and is in danger. We must not make enemies with Anguo!"
Li Xin said angrily: "In order not to make enemies with Anguo, can our country be bullied by others?" As he said this, he waved his sleeves and shouted: "No need to persuade me, my king has made up his mind!"
Cheng Sixian wanted to persuade him again. He turned around and looked around, hoping that there would be ministers who would share the same position as him. Unfortunately, all the other ministers and generals were glaring with their eyes, clenching their fists, and looking at Li Xin eagerly. Some were just indignant and had no intention of persuading him.
He sighed secretly. It seemed that the feud between Huan and An was inevitable.
Under the instruction of Li Xin, the general of Huan State, Qingyun Hou Lu Chen, led 200,000 Huan troops to stockpile at the junction of Huan State and Chizhou. How could Anguo not know that the Huan army had such a large-scale movement?
The Huan army hoarded a large army near Chizhou. Even a fool could see what Huan was going to do. After a brief panic, the An court immediately responded, with Li De, the middle general, and Zhang Ben, the fierce general, leading 200,000 An troops to garrison Chizhou to prevent any unpreparedness.
Because of the dispute over a county, the two countries of An and Huan dispatched troops and hoarded a large number of troops at the border between the two countries. The distance between them was less than 20 miles, and the situation was tense and a fierce battle was imminent.
The two countries of An and Huan turned from allies to enemies, which also attracted the attention of other countries. Feng and Chuan sent envoys to An and Huan respectively. Feng sent envoys to An, while Chuan sent envoys to Huan.
Interestingly, although the envoys of Feng and Chuan went to different countries, they said surprisingly the same thing. After meeting Yue Ze, the Feng Kingdom envoy told Yue Ze the attitude of Feng Kingdom. If the war between An and Huan really broke out, Feng Kingdom would definitely stand on the side of An. If An needed it, Feng Kingdom would even be willing to send troops to help and fight side by side with An to resist the powerful enemy. Yue Ze was very excited when he heard the words of Feng. With Feng Kingdom as his backer, why should he be afraid of Huan Kingdom? No matter how powerful the Huan army was, could it be more powerful than the Feng army? It didn't take much. Feng Kingdom only needed to mobilize two legions to help itself, which was enough to kill the Huan army.
At almost the same time, the Chuan envoy also said almost the same thing to Li Xin as the Feng envoy. The Chuan envoy patted his chest and promised that once Huan and An started fighting, Chuan would definitely lend a helping hand to Huan. Not only would they help Huan get justice, but they would also help Huan destroy An in one fell swoop. Li Xin got the Chuan envoy's promise, and he felt more confident, and he didn't take An seriously.
The participation of Feng and Chuan not only failed to ease the tension between An and Huan, but also added fuel to the fire, stimulating the fighting spirit of the two countries even more vigorously.
At this time, Feng and Chuan had the same goal. Feng wanted to use the power of An to destroy Huan, and then draw An to its side to deal with the powerful enemy Chuan together.
On the other hand, Chuan also thought so. It wanted to win over Huan, destroy An, who was difficult to control, and then work together to deal with the Fengyu Alliance in the north.
The tension between An and Huan seemed to be a problem between An and Huan, but in fact, the black hands behind the scenes were Feng and Chuan. Both countries have foreseen that there will be a war between Feng and Chuan, but neither of them dares to guarantee that they will win the war.
In order to increase the weight of winning, the two countries must further strengthen their strength in a short period of time and win over reliable allies. Anhuan has become the inevitable choice for the two countries.
If they can successfully annex one party and win over the other party, it will undoubtedly be the most favorable result for their side. In future wars, their chances of winning will also increase greatly.
It can be said that Feng Wang Tang Yin and Chuan Wang Xiao Xuan now think of the same thing. This may be the case that heroes think alike!
However, the war between Anhuan and Anhuan will not be so easy to start. There are many problems involved. The two countries have been allies for so many years and there are inextricable connections between them. There are many people who support this war, and there are also many people who oppose this war.
But the rift between the two countries has indeed occurred, and it is impossible to return to the former alliance relationship.
Fengguo, Yancheng. While Tang Yin was paying attention to the dispute between Anhuan, he was also working hard to complete his own idea and move the capital.
Because he had discussed this matter with Qiu Zhen and Guan Yuanji beforehand, and they poured cold water on him, Tang Yin was smart this time. He did not propose the relocation of the capital in public in the court, but privately consulted with the ministers one by one to see if the ministers were really opposed to the relocation of the capital as Qiu Zhen and Guan Yuanji said.
He first found the Imperial Censor Zhang Zhe. Tang Yin did not necessarily like Zhang Zhe very much, but he knew his personality very well. Zhang Zhe was honest by nature and did not know how to adapt. He said whatever he wanted and would not be shy just because the other party was the monarch.
Of course, a person like Zhang Zhe was the most suitable to be the Imperial Censor who was most likely to offend people.
Tang Yin did not ask directly, but asked Zhang Zhe in a roundabout way that someone proposed to him to relocate the capital, and he could not make up his mind, so he found him to ask what he thought.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhe's face immediately darkened and he asked, "Who proposed to move the capital to the king?"
Tang Yin laughed dryly and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about who proposed it. I just want to hear your opinion, Lord Zhang..."
Before Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhang Zhe said directly, "No matter who proposed to move the capital to the king, this person has evil intentions and bad intentions. The king should kill this thief immediately!"
Tang Yin almost spit out the tea he had just drunk. How did he become a thief with evil intentions and bad intentions? And he should be killed immediately?
He put down the teacup with an embarrassed expression and asked with a smile, "Lord Zhang, tell me, what's wrong with moving the capital?"
"This is to shake the foundation of my Dafeng!" Zhang Zhe didn't look at Tang Yin's face, and didn't care what he thought in his heart, but just expressed his own opinion. He said with absolute certainty: "Yancheng is the origin of Dafeng and the lifeblood of Dafeng. As long as Yancheng exists, Dafeng can live forever. As long as Yancheng exists, no matter how much suffering Dafeng has to endure, it can stand firm. For thousands of years, Yancheng has not only been the capital of Dafeng, but also the symbol of Dafeng. In order to defend Yancheng, countless ancestors of Dafeng fought bloody battles and were buried under the city. It can be said that Yancheng was built with the flesh and blood of Dafeng people. It has long become a symbol of the cohesion of Dafeng people. If anyone proposes to move the capital to the king, he is trying to shake the foundation of Dafeng and destroy it!"
