Chapter 475 Liang Ji: This Is Half the Emperor

At Lu Sheng's signal, the emperor issued an edict to announce the great victory of Gaozhou to the world.

This move seemed to be to promote Chen Mo's achievements to the world, but Lu Sheng also had his own intentions.

In this edict, Lu Sheng emphasized that Chen Mo was ordered by the imperial court to send troops to resist Jin Xia.

Although this is suspected of putting gold on the face of the imperial court, from the side, the imperial court can use this matter to increase its own sense of presence and prestige.

At least in the eyes of the common people who didn't understand, they felt that Chen Mo was following the orders of the court.

Secondly, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the world was talking a lot. Taking advantage of the great victory in Gaozhou, he could show the world that the reign name of Yong'an was auspicious, and it was the new emperor's blessing that Chen Mo could win this battle.

In short, he promoted Chen Mo in order to increase the influence of the imperial court.

After the court meeting, Lu Sheng called all his trusted confidants to his house to discuss matters.

Huicheng couldn't wait and asked on the spot: "Xiangguo, as far as I know, Chen Mo needs to guard against King Huai and Longyou. There are not many troops that can be mobilized to resist Jin Xia. Jin Xia is coming fiercely and there are many soldiers." Guang and many cavalry, how did he defeat the Jin Xia army on the plain? "

This point was also what puzzled Lu Sheng. The victory report handed over by Chen Mo only said how many people in the Jin Xia army were killed and which generals were killed, but it did not tell the details of the war, such as how it was won.

"The good news sent by Chen Mo only had results, no process, and he didn't even say how many troops he sent." Lu Sheng sat down and took a sip of tea, but his brows had not relaxed since the end of the court meeting.

"I have long heard that the Marquis of Pingting County was ambitious and unwilling to be subordinate to others. He first broke away from the Tianshi Army and established his own business. Then he secretly robbed Linzhou and finally Huaizhou without asking the imperial court for orders. In the spring of this year, he also sent troops to Jiangnan. All these actions have great intentions, and now they have severely damaged the Jin Xia army. If he really drives these barbarians out of the north, then half of the country will fall into his hands, and we have to guard against it. "

Luo Qingyang, Lu Sheng's staff, said in a deep voice.

Luo Qingyang is the person Lu Sheng trusts the most, and he has always helped Lu Sheng make suggestions. The previous mutiny was also planned by Luo Qingyang.

And what Luo Qingyang said was the reason why Lu Sheng kept frowning.

If Chen Mo really drives Jin Xia out of the north, then Chen Mo's power can also take the opportunity to control the entire north. By then, the entire north of the Huaihe River will be Chen Mo's sphere of influence.

That was nearly half of the Song Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Chen Mo can still control it legitimately.

Because Lu Sheng originally issued an edict in the name of the emperor, allowing Chen Mo to do things conveniently in the north.

The reason why Lu Sheng did this was that he believed that Chen Mo's strength could not compete with Jin Xia's, and he could at most resist Jin Xia's army outside Qingzhou.

After all, the situation at the time was that Chen Mo had few soldiers, few generals, and no one to help him, so the hope of victory was really slim.

At that time, Lu Sheng was still thinking that this Jinxia invasion could take advantage of the situation to reduce Chen Mo's strength and reduce his threat to the world in the future.

But he never expected that Chen Mo not only won the battle, but also severely damaged the enemy.

According to the victory report, a total of more than 20,000 Jinxia army infantry and cavalry were killed.

This is simply unbelievable. Has Chen Mo grown to this point?

What worried Lu Sheng the most was that he didn't know how Chen Mo defeated the Jin Xia Army.

If you don't know, you can't be prepared. If one day he and Chen Mo come face to face, it will be difficult to resist.

"Luonan and Qingzhou are thousands of miles apart. It's still too early to talk about defense now, and there's no way to defend it. The top priority is to capture Xiliang as soon as possible and expand our own territory." Lu Sheng frowned.

Luo Qingyang sighed helplessly. Now that Chen Mo has a lot of wings, it is really difficult to guard against him. The only way is to expand his strength.

Luo Qingyang said: "Half of King Chong's troops are on the right side of Longyou. King Anping is as timid as a mouse. Although Yang Xian is close to us, he has his own affairs to deal with. King Huai himself is impatient. Chen Mo is beyond his reach in Gaozhou. , it is a great opportunity given by God for us to send troops to Xiliang at this time."

Lu Sheng nodded and immediately ordered: "Huicheng."

"The end will be here." Huicheng responded respectfully.

"Immediately send people from Qing County and Dongping City to recruit grain and grass, start to organize the army, and send troops to Xiliang as soon as possible."

"promise."

…

The Queen Mother's palace.

Liang Ji is wearing a blue palace dress embellished with plum blossoms. She has a plump figure. She is lying on the soft couch, holding her cheeks with her hands. She is taking a nap. On top of the beautiful jade beauty, her charming and plump aura gently flows. Overflowing.

Suddenly a bell rang outside, causing her to stop her nap.

Her plump face jumped. If she remembered correctly, the bell was the sound of triumph, something she hadn't heard for a long time.

She quickly called the serving maid and asked her to inquire about it.

Soon, the palace maid came in cheering: "The Queen Mother, good news, good news, the battle in the north was won. The captain won the first battle and cut off the enemy's head and presented it to Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, Liang Ji froze on the spot, got down from the soft couch, and asked quickly: "Tell me what's going on?"

The palace maid quickly told Liang Ji what she had learned.

As a result, as soon as they finished speaking, the sound of victory sounded again outside.

"Another good news?" Liang Ji was surprised and had to ask the serving maid to inquire again.

After a short while, the maid returned and said, "Empress Dowager, it is said that after the Taiwei defeated the Jinxia barbarians in the first battle, he severely damaged the Jinxia barbarians in Yaoer City the next day, killing more than 20,000 enemy infantry and cavalry. The Taiwei also shot and killed a big man of the enemy army. It is said that he is the nephew of the enemy commander. His head was cut off and put in a box and presented to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Liang Ji's face turned red. It was caused by excitement. After all, she was also a citizen of the Song Dynasty and was once the queen of the world. Hearing such good news of a heavy defeat of foreign enemies, she would be happy.

But thinking of Liang Xuan, Liang Ji quickly suppressed her excitement, moved her lips, and said, "This Pingting County Marquis is so capable."

Isn't it.

It has only been a few years. He was born in the countryside. He was first a traitor in the Tianshi Army. In less than a year, he became the Xuanwei General of the court, then the Zhengxi General, and finally the county marquis and the Taiwei.

It can be said that this is the end point that a minister wants to reach in his lifetime.

But Chen Mo has reached this point at the age of twenty.

A young marquis, powerful and influential.

If she remembered correctly, the court gave Chen Mo the right to act at his own convenience in the north.

Now he won the first battle and then suffered a heavy blow. If he can finally drive the Jinxia barbarians out of the Song Dynasty, he might be named a duke.

No, it's not a duke.

But half a son of heaven.
