Chapter 632

"This king has never received a letter from Qingzhou!"

The King of Chu suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

Li Chuyuan understood, he threw the letter from Qingzhou in the charcoal basin on one side, and the letter turned to ashes in the flames.

The King of Chu continued: "Now the situation in the north is complicated. Even if Xiao Ming can defeat King Zhao, King Yan and King Liang will inevitably be severely damaged and cannot go south immediately. We should strengthen our armaments during this time and rely on the danger of the Yangtze River to reject foreign enemies. !"

"Yes, Your Highness."

All the ministers said in unison.

Li Cha and Baishi sat upright and looked at the officials. They also stood up and bowed to the King of Chu. Now that they had the King of Chu's salary, they naturally wanted to serve the King of Chu.

...

Qingzhou.

In the hasty preparations, there are only seven days left for the enthronement ceremony. During this time, Fiji has arranged all the enthronement procedures properly, and Pang Yukun has also passed all the news to the various kings.

After waiting for 20 days, King Yong took Princess Yong into Qingzhou City, and at the same time came the envoy sent by King Huainan, which was basically the same as what they guessed, whether it was King Chu, King Yan, King Zhao or King Liang , they all turned a blind eye to the enthronement ceremony.

Not only that, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao respectively sent troops to form a chaotic army to Yunzhou, which is clearly to show Xiao Ming some color.

"His Royal Highness, the Nanzheng Army and the Dengzhou Army left a total of 30,000 people to guard the cities of the thirteen states, and the remaining 50,000 people rushed to Yunzhou City, while the Youzhou Army dispatched all cavalry to Yunzhou City. Come on, plus the cuirassiers from Qingzhou, we have fifty thousand cavalry at our disposal this time."

In the Qingzhou camp, Niu Ben told Xiao Ming all the layout of the Fengguo army. He was about to arrive at the enthronement ceremony, but the three kings started a crusade at this time, and he had to deal with it.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, he is also preparing to fight a tough battle to let the Three Kings Allied Forces hurt their vitality. As he has been thinking, the current situation cannot be changed without a decisive battle in the north through a meat grinder.

Now that the Japanese country has crossed eastward, the barbarians are aggressively pressing in the north again, and the western powers are now intervening in the south, he must at least end the civil strife in the north and have a stable development environment, otherwise a country in war will only consume and cannot bring Revolutionary change.

The reason why Britain was able to complete the industrial revolution first was due to long-term accumulation, and the other was not unrelated to having a stable social environment far away from the European continent, so he chose to take the throne now because of many factors.

Niu Ben's words reassured Xiao Ming, he said: "The city of Yunzhou originally had 10,000 troops from Yunzhou, plus 10,000 troops from Qingzhou, and now 60,000 people are added, there are 80,000 troops in the city. , In addition to the 130,000 cavalry, most of the troops of Fengguo are here."

After a pause, he said to Niu Ben, "Captain Niu, this king has ordered you to be the general of the Western Expedition to unify the overall situation. This time, you must block the three-king coalition outside the city of Yunzhou, and make no mistake."

Niu Ben clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister will never let them cross Yunzhou City half a step."

"Well, in addition to this, the battle is to destroy the three kings' troops with all their strength, so that they will never come back." Xiao Ming said sternly, for him, the essence of war is to destroy the living force of the opponent.

That was the purpose of Bai Qikeng's killing of 400,000 Zhao troops back then, and since then Zhao State has no power to resist.

According to the information provided by Wang Xuan, at this time, the combined army of King Yan, King Zhao and King Liang totaled 350,000, of which King Yan sent 180,000 troops, King Liang sent 130,000 troops, and King Zhao sent 40,000 cavalry.

Xiao Ming was a little shocked when he learned that so many troops were marching towards Yunzhou City, but fortunately, the Great Yu Kingdom always lacked cavalry.

For him, he didn't worry about the infantry, because in front of firearms these feudal armies with traditional swords were not opponents at all, the only thing he worried about was the cavalry.

But now that the Youzhou Army and the Qingzhou Cuirassiers have merged together, he is not too worried. In terms of the well-equipped equipment and the training of the soldiers, he believes that his cavalry can stop the 60,000 cavalry from the prefectures and counties near Yunzhou City. destroy.

After instructing Niu Ben, Xiao Ming and a group of generals conducted many deductions against the sand table of Yunzhou City. Yunzhou City is the gateway to Qingzhou, and as long as Yunzhou City is captured, they can go directly to Qingzhou.

It is because of this that they will Chen Bing Yunzhou City, which is the same as when the barbarians prepared to take Yunzhou City.

After formulating a war plan, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou City. This time he was not the only one involved in the war. King Yong came to Qingzhou to prepare for an audience.

Before he came to the barracks, Concubine Yong met Concubine Zhen first, and vaguely mentioned King Yong's attitude. After he had a scruple in his heart, he arranged to meet King Yong at noon to clarify some words.

Generally speaking, now in the Great Yu Kingdom, he may only have two real allies, one is King Yong, and the other is King Huainan. However, compared to the support that King Huainan needs to get through marriage, King Yong's support may be simpler.

Although King Yong is short-tempered and greedy for pleasure, he is also very simple, and he will go with whoever is the real emperor.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiao Ming directly entered the main hall, and after a while, King Yong was led by Qian Dafu to the main hall.

"My nephew!"

Seeing Xiao Ming, King Yong walked towards Xiao Ming with a big laugh, and his burly figure made Xiao Ming quite stressed.

"Uncle Fourth Emperor." Xiao Ming also smiled. Now that he has not yet ascended the throne, the etiquette is business as usual, but compared to the rudeness of the past, Xiao Ming can still see that there is a hint of caution in King Yong's behavior.

Inviting King Yong to sit down, Xiao Ming got straight to the point. He gestured to Qian Dafu, who then brought Xiao Wenxuan's widow over.

This edict was also of concern to King Yong all the time. He had to confirm the authenticity of the edict, so when he got the edict, he looked at it carefully, and after a while he said, "This is the handwriting of the emperor, this edict is for use. Satin is also unique in the palace, that's right."

After saying this, King Yong felt relieved, he got up and said to Xiao Ming: "From now on, it will be dispatched by my nephew."

When Concubine Yong met Concubine Zhen, she had already mentioned the meaning of King Yong's surrender, so Xiao Ming was not surprised, and he was not polite, and said directly: "I think the fourth uncle also knows about King Yan, and King Liang and King Zhao joined forces to come to crusade. It's the king's business."

"This king has heard about this, and my nephew is at ease. This rebellious king should raise troops and attack him with his nephew." King Yong said angrily.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. He didn't have a lot of soldiers, but with King Yong, there were quite a few, so he would feel a lot easier.

It's just that when he mentioned this, he didn't let King Yong participate in the war in Yunzhou City.
