Chapter 56: Shanyue
"What happened? What is Uncle Bai's intention?"
Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "The news I just learned was also the day before New Year's Eve. The Lord of Shanyue, Sha Tengning, raised 50,000 troops from the mountains and headed straight for Jian'an County, Yuezhou Prefecture City. Cai Ke, the governor of Yuezhou, urgently asked for help." After that, he handed the map prepared in advance to Qingyan.
Maps, especially military maps, are definitely worth a lot in this era. The Three Kingdoms in the world have extremely strict control over military maps. If the mountains, rivers, cities and levels in their own country are known in detail by the enemy, it will be no less than losing 100,000 soldiers.
Qingyan spread the map on the desk and observed it carefully. Xian'er put some extra lights in the room and then went out obediently.
After gesturing on the map for a long time, Qing Yan sighed: "Uncle Bai, although this Shanyue is not strong enough, the time to choose is really deadly." He pointed his finger on the map: "Yuezhou is close to Yangzhou. If he really captures Jian'an County, there is no need for half a month, the bandits may face the city of Jinling, and then the entire southeast and even the entire Nanzhao will be in chaos."
"The Prince Mingjian, I, Nan Zhao, have just signed a contract with Beiyan. It is time to recover and recover luck. Sha Tengning chose this critical moment when he was not afraid of the night, which proves that this person's vision is extremely vicious."
Qingyan drew a circle on the map with his finger, "Although Yuezhou covers a vast area, it is eight parts of mountains and two parts of hills, and it is an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place. If Cai Ke can withstand the pressure and hold on to Jian'an and reach reinforcements, the situation will be controllable."
Then he pointed to the northeast direction: "After that being said, we don't know when the imperial court will send reinforcements, how many troops, when they will be released, and when they will arrive. If the reinforcements have not arrived in Jian'an, they have been broken..."
While Bai Yi was relieved, he spoke: "According to the news, Your Majesty has summoned Xiao Fu, Zhuge Pingzhang, and Huaihua General Shi Tianci to the palace to discuss matters. If the action is quick, reinforcements will come out tomorrow."
"The three main forces in Nanzhao, Qinwu Legion, Xiangfan Legion, Huainan Legion, and Donghai Navy. If you leave these, there will be only local government soldiers and troops guarding the capital. As the saying goes, far water cannot relieve near thirst, Your Majesty can only draw troops from around Jinling to suppress the rebellion, but in this way, Jinling's defense will definitely be seriously overdrawn." Qing Yan frowned, knowing that the situation was very serious.
Bai Yi nodded, "Inside and outside Jinling, a thousand Jinwu Guards are stationed in Taichu Palace, and the eight thousand people from Xuanwu Camp guard the city gates and maintain the public security of Jinling. In addition, the left and right Yulin Army in Zhongtan Mountain in the east and Sanqiao Lake in the northwest."
"The Yulin Army has a total of 40,000 troops. For the safety of the surrounding areas of the capital, all the two armies must not be sent to the Qingyan boxing case. "If you can suppress the rebellion, it seems that you can only rely on one of the Yulin Army."
(I am a dividing line)
After sleepless overnight, Qingyan's brain has been deducing the situation.
When the rooster crows, Bai Yi unexpectedly appears outside the door.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Liu, with His Majesty's order, takes you to the palace to discuss matters."
After Xian'er's service, he sorted out his clothes and followed Eunuch Liu out of the palace.
In the carriage, Qingyan handed several silver notes to Eunuch Liu very naturally, "Eunuch Liu went to the royal palace to summon him. He should thank him well, but this prince left in a hurry, and I hope my father-in-law will not dislike him a little."
Eunuch Liu really liked the young prince in his heart. He didn't say anything arrogant. He was clearly in this kind of relationship with the world. After taking the silver note without showing any expression, he smiled and said, "Since it is the prince's good intention, if the miscellaneous family refuses, it will be unreasonable."
Then he lifted up the curtain to observe, then turned around and whispered: "Since the prince looks down on the miscellaneous family so much, the miscellaneous family will not hide it."

Qingyan's heart tightened and his face was silent: "It's okay to say it."
"I believe the prince has already known about Yuezhou. His Majesty summoned several ministers to the palace to discuss the matter last night, but he didn't meet the emperor very much. This morning, he discussed with all civil and military officials who would go to quell the rebellion. Everyone recommended him, but His Majesty, beyond everyone's expectations, recommended you, Prince."
Recommend yourself? Could it be that Your Majesty has not woken up and talked in his sleep?
Qingyan's heart was turbulent because of this important news, and he lowered his voice and said, "Dadfather-in-law, you are the eunuch general manager, how could you make such a joke?"
Eunuch Liu did not answer, but leaned against the wall of the car and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Qingyan had already confirmed that the news was only true or not. He thought that he would reveal the emperor's meaning to himself before going to the palace, and Eunuch Liu was also very heart-warming.
-(I am a dividing line)
"Side by side the order of the prince Zhao Qingyan outside the palace!"
"Xuan Zhao Qingyan!"
"Xuan Zhao Qingyan!"
.........
When he entered Jinhua Palace for the first time, Qingyan couldn't help but sigh again in the wisdom of the craftsmen in Nanzhao.
The hall is paved with gold bricks, and the outer beams and rafters are decorated with Hexi paintings. The upper part of the doors and windows is embedded with diamond plaids, and the lower part is embossed with cloud dragon patterns. There are gilded bronze leaves engraved with dragon patterns at the joints. The living water on both sides of the hall corresponds to it, forming a group in front of the emperor's imperial throne, the Nine Dragon Golden Spiritual Ecological Statue, where koi are swimming happily and lotus leaves are filled with fragrance.
The civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, in addition to Xiao Fu, Zhuge Pingzhang, and the three princes, there were two burly men of a certain age. Emperor Zhao Ling sat on the Nine Dragon Chair and looked at Qingyan with a smile.
"I will meet your Majesty. My emperor is so powerful that he will live forever!" Qing Yan fell to the ground.
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ling looked at Qingyan and stroked his beard and said, "How do you feel when you go to this Jinhua Palace for the first time?"
Qingyan said respectfully: "The Jinhua Palace is luxurious and magnificent, and all civil and military officials are as powerful as the world's number one hall."
No matter what he wants to hear, I will pick up something nice to say first.
Emperor Ling was very happy when he heard this, "Your boy's mouth is much sweeter than Xuan Ce. Are you all the beloved friends as I think?"
"Your Majesty's clarification!" All the officials agreed.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later in my spare time." Emperor Ling slowly put away his smile, "I guess you already know about Yuezhou, right?"
"Report to your Majesty, I heard it a little last night."
"How should you deal with this matter?"
"Fire suppresses rebellion to revive the court."
At this time, someone beside Zhao Jing sarcastically said, "Side by the prince, the father asked you if you have any detailed strategies. I hope you don't say something that a three-year-old child can say."
Qingyan turned around, straightened his back and smiled slightly, "I think this is the famous Prince Pei, right?"
The one who mocked Qingyan was the third son of Emperor Ling, Prince Pei, Zhao Xiang.
"It's this king. As the son of the king side by side, you must have a solution in your mind after thinking for a night." Zhao Xiang then changed his mind, "Or can you still sleep in the bed even after hearing Shanyue's rebellion?"
Qingyan was still calm, "Although this prince was the son of his father and the king, he knew that this Jinhua Palace was not a rumor. Even if he was the king of Pei, he would not be able to interrupt His Majesty's question at will, right?"
Zhao Xiang had nothing to say after a retort, and after he reacted, he angrily rebuked: "You are just a little prince, how dare you be rude to me?"
Qingyan didn't look at him again, turned around and said, "Your Majesty,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Although I am stupid, I have no choice but to share your worries with Your Majesty.”
Emperor Ling didn't seem to care about the previous dispute between the two. After raising his hand to signal Zhao Xiang to retreat, he looked calm: "I am going to send the left and right Yulin Army to suppress the rebellion, but the main general has never decided. As Xuan Ce's son, it is necessary to go to the palace to talk about your suggestions."
After hearing this, the officials had different moods. Some were planning to get close to the prince of the side of the king in the future, while others were envious and jealous of the emperor's kindness at such a young age. However, no matter what their thoughts were, everyone admitted that His Majesty attached great importance to the prince of the side of the king.
"Report to Your Majesty, Qing Yan has just arrived in Jinling, and there are not five court officials who have met once, so the candidates for this general dare not speak out." Qing Yan slowly raised his head and said firmly: "But if Your Majesty sends all the Yulin Army on both sides, then I dare to assert that Jinling is in danger!"
"Bold! You dare to exclaim in front of His Majesty, what should you blame?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several officials came forward to ask the emperor to cure the crime of Qingyan.
Qingyan was too lazy to care about the annoying sounds behind him. He knew that the few people who came out were affiliated with the advisory station. If he had to get rid of them, he wouldn't know how long it would take to be a big shot.
"I hope Your Majesty think twice." Qing Yan saluted again respectfully.
"Since you dare to take back my life, your courage is not inferior to Xuan Ce." Emperor Ling pressed his arm down, signaling the censors without saying anything, and asked again: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty really transferred all the troops guarding Jinling City to Yuezhou to suppress the rebellion. In Jinling, except for one thousand Jinwu Guards and eight thousand Xuanwu Camps, only one constable in Jingzhao Prefecture will be left. If there is any abnormal movement around Jinling, how should Jinling protect itself?"
Prince Zhao Xiang of Pei heard the loophole in his speech and stepped forward again and said, "What do you mean is someone who commits a rebellion? I will not ask Your Majesty to punish you for your crimes. Just say that without these tens of thousands of Yulin Army, my great Jinling City will be in danger and exhaustion? Have you forgotten that there is my Huainan Legion not far from the north?"
Qing Yan sighed slightly. It seemed that the Pei King really didn't realize what the consequences would be caused if all the Yulin troops on the left and right were sent to Yuezhou.
"I wonder what the result of His Highness Pei's battle with Northern Yan in the past few years."
"Of course, there are wins and losses for each other, and the match is equal."
"I don't think so. The two counties in Huaibei have been lost after the war. The Huainan Legion has no barrier except the Huaihe River. Due to years of war, the Huainan Legion has been seriously injured and cannot withstand any major war. If Jinling is ill at this time and the Yulin Army on the left and right are not in the capital, how dare you ask His Highness Pei, the Huainan Legion will give up the entire line of defense and rush to rush to guard the capital for hundreds of miles?"
If we take a step back, even if the Huainan Legion gives in to the entire line of defense, the Northern Yan will not move. But if His Majesty's subjects know about a small Shanyue rebellion, most of the troops guarding the capital will need to suppress the rebellion. How should the people of the world view our great country! What situation will His Majesty be in!"
Qing Yan looked at Emperor Ling again and said respectfully: "Maybe these are just mere worries about me. How to make a decision in the end requires His Majesty to make a decision."
Emperor Ling smiled and looked at one of the people who were in Wei, "What does General Huaihua think?"
It turns out that he is the chief general in the first half of the Battle of Iron Mountain, Shi Tianci, the owner of Juque Gun!
Qingyan Yu Guang carefully observed the other party. Shi Tianci was about fifties and had a majestic appearance. Although he was wearing court uniforms, he could also see that he was burly and strong and imposing.
"I think what the prince said alongside each other is a sharp attack."
"The general is not an exaggeration to say what he says?"
"Every word is a pearl!"
