Chapter 647 The King of Huainan

Cui Xue'er was a little stunned when she looked at the blooming begonia flowers in the palace.

Two days ago, her mother-in-law had returned from Qingzhou, and at the same time she brought back the imperial decree to let her enter the palace as a concubine.

Although the father and mother were very happy, she was not happy at all. It was not a blessing for her to go to a distant and unfamiliar place to marry a man she had never met.

It's just the orders of her parents, the words of a matchmaker, not to mention that as the daughter of a vassal king, she has no choice at all.

"Xue'er, what are you thinking?" At this moment, a loud voice sounded, and an imposing, sturdy man in Chinese clothes came to her.

When she saw the person who came, Cui Xueer's eyes turned into a crescent moon when she smiled, and she said, "Father, why are you here?"

"Father, the king came to see you, after all, my daughter is about to become the imperial concubine of the Great Yu Kingdom." The King of Huainan said loudly.

Hearing these words, Cui Xueer pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry, she said, "My daughter is going to Qingzhou, not only is my father not distressed, but I am so happy. It seems that my father does not feel sorry for his daughter at all. ."

King Huainan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Xue'er, it is precisely because you are about to become a royal concubine that your father and father are so happy, because in your father's heart, the only person in this world that can match you is now. Holy."

"Yes, yes, in the past four years, Sheng Shang first defeated the barbarians in Cangzhou, and then defeated the barbarians in Jizhou again. My daughter's ears could hear alkali." Cui Xueer covered her ears.

When King Huainan saw his daughter, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and he said: "However, this time, the Sage has impressed the father and the king. Just a few days ago, the alliance of the three kings was defeated, and the position of the Sage has been unshakable. , King Liang and King Zhao, the northern part of the Great Yu Kingdom is convenient and stable."

When Cui Xueer heard this, she just rolled her eyes, she wouldn't care about this.

Seeing the lack of interest in his daughter, King Huainan rolled his eyes and said to the topic, "Your mother and concubine who accompany you to the palace have been selected for you, and having them in the palace to take care of you will not make you feel wronged. of."

Cui Xueer nodded. At this moment, she was only worried because she didn't know who she was going to face.

Seemingly seeing his daughter's worries, King Huainan comforted: "Now that the world is in chaos, the emperor attaches great importance to us. Even if the emperor looks at his father's face, he will treat you well. You can rest assured."

Cui Xueer heard the reluctance in her father's words, and she smiled, "Father, don't worry, it's a daughter's honor to be able to join the royal family, and her daughter just can't bear her father and mother."

The king of Huainan felt sour in his heart. The marriage between the daughter of the vassal king and the royal family was a tradition of the Great Yu Kingdom, for the long-term stability of the Great Yu Kingdom.

While the two were talking, suddenly a young man in armor came over and saw King Huainan.

Cui Xueer was shocked when she heard the words, and she said nervously, "Father, is there going to be another war?"

The King of Huainan looked solemn, and he said, "The emperor has made a decree. One is to let you enter the capital in two days, and the other is to capture Yingzhou and destroy the troops of the King of Chu."

At this time, Cui Shangan also looked at Cui Xueer and said: "Sister, don't worry, King Yan is already at the end of the shot, and this capture of Yingzhou is also a credit given to us by Emperor Bai, maybe I will go to Qingzhou as a general when the war is over. It's time to see my sister from time to time."

Cui Xueer was relieved, and she said, "If my brother is here, I won't be worried."

...

Qingzhou.

Just five days after the battle of Yunzhou, another battle report arrived in Xiao Ming's study.

On the day of the Battle of Yunzhou, Xiao Sa led the remaining Liang army to rush back to King Qin of Qingzhou, and was successfully ambushed by the coalition forces of Qi Guangyi and Chen Xinran on the way.

"Xiao Sa is dead!" Looking at the contents of the battle report, Xiao Ming was slightly surprised.

"The second prince was hit by a musket. When Qi Guangyi found him, he was silent." This time the battle report was sent back by Niu Ben himself.

After the war in Yunzhou was over, he no longer needed to stay in Yunzhou. The rest of the war was handed over to Lu Fei, and Luo Hong and others were enough.

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, the crown prince was dead, and the second prince was also dead now. The death rate of princes in the feudal dynasty was really high.

However, Xiao Ming was only slightly surprised to hear that the second prince had died, because this prince didn't have much interaction with him, and he always wanted to kill him. He was unfamiliar with this person, and he died when he died.

"Your Majesty, all the elites of Liang's army have been killed, and Liang Guo is already an empty shell. We should take this opportunity to take down Liang Guo, especially Juyong Pass, so that King Liang will not go crazy and destroy the pass." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "You let Qi Guangyi continue to cooperate with Yong's army to attack Liang. If you take Juyongguan, you must take it into your own hands."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Niu Ben responded.

He already knew about King Yong's surrender, but even so they couldn't fully trust King Yong. After all, King Yong was still one of the vassal kings.

In their national policy, they still have to cut down the vassal, but for the unification of the Great Yu Kingdom, they have to endure it temporarily.

Picked up the battle report and continued to read it. There was also news of Kaizhou and Bianzhou being conquered on the battle report, "Kaichou? This is a treasure."

The Kaizhou of the Great Yu Kingdom is Puyang County in modern Henan. This Puyang County is located in the northeast of Henan Province, on the coast of the Yellow River, at the junction of Shandong and Anhui provinces.

According to the information in the science and technology database, Puyang County is rich in product resources, and its oil and natural gas production accounts for 70% and 90% of the total output of Zhongyuan Oilfield.

In addition, Kaizhou underground salt mine is rich in resources, with proven reserves of 140 billion tons.

Thinking of this information, Xiao Ming is most sensitive to oil, which is necessary for internal combustion engines in the future, and this place is very close to Qingzhou, but the only difficulty is that the mine is too deep and requires extremely high drilling technology.

"The Allied Army of the Three Kings was defeated, and seized this opportunity to take over the former imperial prefectures and counties as quickly as possible. Except for the accident of garrisoning troops in Kaizhou and Bianzhou, let Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun wait for the opportunity to continue to capture nearby prefectures and counties and control more land. , to compress King Zhao's sphere of influence."

After a pause, he continued: "I have given the king of Huainan an order to send troops to attack Yingzhou, and the affairs of the state of Yan can be handed over to him."

"King of Huainan?" Niu Ben was a little surprised, "Your Highness, is the King of Huainan reliable?"

"I just want to test whether he can be trusted. If he captures Yingzhou and returns the imperial prefecture and county, the King of Huainan will be available. If he still doesn't go away, it means that he has ambitions, and I will treat him differently. wait."
