Chapter Eight: The Choice between Old and New Youzhou (2)

"Your Highness, I'm afraid something might happen if you venture over to Shenzhou Yang Tingyu's place at this time." Cheng Ji reminded him kindly. At the same time, he did feel that Quan Xi was too impatient.

The corner of Quan Xi's mouth slightly raised and he looked at Yu Qing, then heard Yu Qing say: "Marquis Lu, Yang Tingyu has been your Highness's for a long time."

Cheng Ji looked like he suddenly realized something, but he was shocked in his heart. The master he was loyal to seemed young, and his thoughtfulness was comparable to His Majesty's. In the future, he might be able to serve you even better than His Majesty.

"Marquis Lu, Xu Daozong, and Wang Ziling, together with the Qin King's Guards, have gone to Youdu to take over the city defense. They just need the documents in your hand." Quan Xi's smiling face made Cheng Ji panic the more he looked at it.

When it came to the document, Cheng Ji quickly took it out from his arms and gave it to Quan Xi. Quan Xi didn't open it and directly handed it to Yu Qing. He said calmly: "Go ahead. You should be able to catch up with Xu and Wang."

Yu Qing put the document on his chest, turned towards Quan Xi and Cheng Ji, turned around and started running immediately. All of this was in Quan Xi's calculation, and there was no error. The only flaw might be that Quan Hanliang was still alive.

Quan Xi said: "Marquis Lu, it is impossible for me to meet my father now. I would like to trouble you to take care of him. I have to go to Jinmen now, where the East China Sea fleet is still there. We cannot let them escape so easily."

Lose!"

Insidious, cunning, unscrupulous, indifferent to family affection, and emperor's mentality, this is Cheng Ji's latest understanding of Quan Xi. Once such a person ascends the throne, he will either lead to great rule or chaos.

Quan Lang's reaction was quick. Most of them realized something was wrong when they stepped out of Shanhaiguan. Except for a few die-hard cronies, most of them chose to escape back to the pass. Gongsun Yu never got the documents to pursue him and did not dare to easily

To start, it is just to constantly persuade and accept the soldiers who turn back.

After all, the document was a step too late. Quan Lang's traces disappeared in Bu Xian Mountain. An angry Gongsun Yu kept stomping at the foot of the mountain. This Bu Xian Mountain is a place where even the local people dare not set foot. There are two major races in it.

The tribe and the Wu tribe have almost no contact with the world, and only a small number of tribesmen exchange some daily necessities such as food and ironware with the people at the foot of the mountain.

The more Gongsun Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He left two teams of hardy Liaodong soldiers to search for traces of Quan Lang, and then returned to the station. Gongsun Yu immediately returned to Youdu with his guards, missing the opportunity to seize Quan Lang. Quan Xi ascended the throne.

The opportunity cannot be missed again.

After Quan Xi captured the Donghai fleet in Jinmen Port without bloodshed, he immediately dispersed the Donghai people and made fun of their interests in all the states and counties under the rule of Youdu. At the same time, he began to launch a campaign against Prince Quan Lang and his family in Youdu.

Purge, the so-called great purge is just a name. Quan Xi's methods cannot be called violent. They only killed a few hardcore people. As long as the rest are willing to repent, Quan Xi welcomes them to stay. It is only the power of Hanjiang Temple.

getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone knows that Quan Xi is going to ascend the throne and become the new emperor. It seems that everyone has forgotten that Quan Hanliang is not dead, but has been forgotten. The war in Dezhou is urgent, and Cheng Ji hurriedly returns to Dezhou. The remaining chamberlains are all the most knowledgeable.

Those who look at the eyes know that the new king has been chosen, but it is a pity that no one pays attention to the powerful and powerful man of the generation.

When the news of his death reached Youdu, Quan Xi unceremoniously disposed of a group of servants, and then planned to go to the funeral in person. However, this move was strongly opposed by the officials who had just walked away from the ghost gate, and they knelt down crying.

In front of His Majesty, Quan Xi had no choice but to send someone to pull Quan Hanliang's body back.

Quan Xi held a major funeral for Quan Hanliang in compliance with the regulations, and then reluctantly succeeded to the throne after repeated urging and invitations, and named Quan Hanliang Emperor Zhongzong in the temple.

After the funeral, Quan Xi came to the court for the first time. The first imperial edict was that Jin Chucheng be the Duke of Yanqing and the left prime minister, presiding over the government. The officials who were originally doubtful saw that the prince was not doing well, so they all

I have worked hard for Xinjun.

Then the Jin Dynasty granted Chengji the title of County Duke of Lu State, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, in charge of Nanya, and presided over the frontline military affairs from Shimen to Dezhou. He was the first person in the military; Pei Xin was promoted to the Duke of Wenxi County, and stayed in Taiyuan to preside over

Military Affairs of the Three Jin Dynasties; Gongsun Yu was promoted to Marquis of Leguo and took charge of Beiya; Yingjue, the leader of Hanjiang Temple, was given the title of Marquis of Anding for his contribution to the stability of Youdu; surprisingly, Wang Bing, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, was promoted to Marquis of Shangyu and Right Prime Minister.

If the promotion of Chu Cheng, Cheng Ji and others was to appease the old people left behind by Quan Hanliang, then the promotion of Yu Qing and others to the Jin Dynasty was the beginning of Quan Xi's era.

Yu Qing was promoted to Marquis of Yuyang County, leading the Minister of War, and in charge of the imperial guards; Yang Tingyu was promoted to Marquis of Anping County, and was the Minister of Household Affairs; Wang Ziling was promoted to the prince of Shangyu Marquis, and was in charge of Zhuozhou Camp; Xu Daozong was promoted to Marquis of Dingxing County,

Take charge of the Tongzhou camp.

The team of "six old men and four young men" instantly stabilized the turmoil caused by Quan Hanliang's death and the prince's rebellion. The most severe test before Quan Xi was the pressure from Daning. Teng Han would not be affected by the civil strife in Youdu.

The attack was postponed, and Youdu's soldiers and horses retreated in succession, and had already retreated to Daming City.

"Your Majesty, I think we can restart the negotiations with Chenjing and Xijing. After all, we all come from the same clan, so we should work together to kill the rebels south of the river." The right prime minister said with excitement.

"Prime Minister, Xijing Quanbo has just stabilized the Western Region, and its military strength has increased dramatically. Quan Zheng has long been a withered bone in the grave. The person in charge of Chenjing is now the Queen Mother Zhong Rouxuan. We have no advantage in talking about alliances." Gongsun Yu objected.

road.

Quan Xi ignored the argument between the two. This matter would eventually fall on Chu Cheng. Neither Wang Bing nor Gong Sun Yu had any experience in handling government affairs, but Chu Cheng was different. He had won the trust of his father in the central government for many years.

The emperor reused it.

"How does Prime Minister Chu think of resolving the crisis of Xiao's invasion?" Quan Xi asked respectfully.

Chu Cheng didn't think anything was wrong. After thinking for a while, he said: "The Sanling Alliance is indeed going to restart. What we are facing now is mainly the pseudo-Ningxiao family. The pressure is not small, but the pressure on Chenjing is even greater. They have to face

What’s more, the relationship between Xijing and Chenjing is not good, so now we have to force Zhong Rouxuan to take the initiative to provoke the Sanling Alliance.”

To hit the nail on the head, it goes straight to the point. This is the result of many years of experience in handling government affairs.

"The left prime minister is smart. Roulan, the Zhong family of Pseudo-Chu, is Zhong Rouxuan's sister. The two evil neighbors around Pseudo-Chu are even more eyeing. The Zhong sisters need allies more than us now." Quan Xi looked enlightened.

"Your Majesty, without further ado, let's force Chen Jing to submit first." Chu Cheng said loudly. He also knew Quan Xi, but Chu Cheng was a man of etiquette. If Quan Lang hadn't been a double-faced man, he wouldn't have

Will accept Quan Xi's succession, but now it seems that Quan Xi is indeed more suitable than Quan Lang to survive in this troubled world.

Quan Xi was silent for a moment and said: "Prince Ling led the Zhuozhou camp with 50,000 soldiers and horses to assist Cheng Ji's army and invade Anyang!"

Wang Ziling lived up to his expectations and ate up three cities under Anyang's rule before midsummer came. However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Qingchen was not easy to mess with. He used Teng Han's troops to completely eliminate the Youdu soldiers and horses left on the south bank.

, come and go

A confrontation was reached with Wang Ziling, but Zhong Rouxuan's pressure was huge, and she finally chose to take the initiative to reconcile. The two parties quickly reached an alliance and agreed to cooperate with the outside world, and Chenjing used Long Tingfei and Youdu used Pei Xin to form a coalition.

Attack the plug.

At the beginning of autumn, Quan Bo and his ministers discussed again and again and decided to accept the proposal of three-party alliance negotiations. The three parties agreed to meet at Huguan on the Double Ninth Festival. It was not until the first snow fell that the three parties reached an agreement. It was known as the "Huguan Agreement" in history.

The three parties are horns to each other, and there is a truce between the three parties. Any party that initiates a war will

will be attacked by the other two parties with all their strength. However, regarding the matter of joint efforts to fight against foreign enemies, the three-party agreement has been temporarily shelved. The reason is that Xijing is unwilling to become an enemy of Chengdu. On this point of dispute, Xijing’s attitude is insistent. In the end, in order to speed up the

Forming an alliance, Youdu and Chenjing had to agree to put it aside for the time being.

As the envoy of Youdu, Chu Cheng fulfilled his mission and returned to Youdu with the covenant, and was highly praised by Quan Xi. Just when everyone was in harmony, Chu Cheng learned that after he left Youdu in late spring, Quan Xi immediately decided to use

The East China Sea warships snatched from Jinmen Port launched a counterattack against Jiaodong, and the war has now completely broken out in Laizhou.

Chu Cheng was puzzled and even asked in a somewhat unacceptable tone: "Your Majesty, why do you have to compete with Puppet Ning? The interests of Laizhou are not as important as those of Hanoi counties!"

"Don't get excited, Prime Minister Zuo. I know it seems inappropriate to do this, but I just want Jiuqu to turn into a pot of porridge. Our target is the Beimu Prairie. If we want to restore the past glory, I need a strong cavalry." Quan

Xi was not angry, but tried his best to explain the reason.

Chu Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. The young emperor in front of him actually had such great talent and great strategy. If it weren't for the troubled times, this man might be able to achieve ZTE, but the question is, would he have the opportunity to display his talents in today's troubled times?

?Although on the surface everyone calls it the Three Kingdoms in the South

Puppet dynasty and traitorous ministers, but in fact even the weakest Chu dynasty is stronger than Youdu, not to mention the wily Xiao Yu and the chosen son Meng Yan, but since I choose to be loyal, I still do my duty well.

That's right. After a moment of surprise, he immediately started thinking.

"Your Majesty, since there is going to be chaos, it would be better if we all start chaos. Pseudo-Xuan, Puppet-Chu and Puppet-Ning are actually on the verge of breaking out. Pengze is a battleground for military strategists, and there are three fortresses on Pengze. One is

Chaisang, the second is Hukou, and the third is Furong Town. Each of the three families happens to occupy one place. As long as a few sparks are thrown out, they can fight immediately." Chu Cheng roughly came up with a way to kill three birds with one stone.

"According to the will of the left prime minister, let the three of them start a war in Pengze, dog bite dog?" Quan Xi followed Chu Cheng's words and continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we sent people to muddy the waters of Pengze so that they have no time to take care of the northern border. This will help us accumulate strength. At the same time, according to Your Majesty's wishes, we will train cavalry while using Beimu to train troops.

"If you want to offer advice, there is no need to hide it. If you speak out at once, everyone will be better off.

Quan Xi suddenly stopped talking. This strategy was cruel and fatal, but the key problem was that it was too risky. The strength of the three families was roughly the same, but their advantages and disadvantages were also obvious. If Zhong Roulan did not want to participate and gave up Hukou, this battle would not happen at all.

Fight.

After Jiujiang was captured by Meng Yan, Zhong Roulan hardly made any big moves. He only sent people to strengthen the defense of Hukou. Meng Yan did not force too much. He just defended Chaisangkou and used Jiujiang City as a transit.

station, pushing the local front a little further, and Xiao Yu acted as a spectator in the battle for Jiujiang, not even adding a single soldier to Furong Town.

It seems that although the three families attack and defend each other, they have a tacit understanding and no one is willing to cross the line. Especially since Meng Yan has reformed the military system after the founding of the country, it will be difficult for him to take the initiative in the short term.

"Prime Minister Zuo, although the plan is good, the Pengze battle is just our idea. The three families may not think so. If we want to implement this plan, we must make all three families suffer." Quan Xi said cautiously.

After listening to Quan Xi's words, Chu Cheng also fell into deep thought. Your Majesty is right. The basis for the Battle of Pengze to happen is that the three families have to want to fight. If no one has this intention, the Battle of Pengze will not exist.
