Chapter 842
The convention hall was quiet. Although everyone just supported the Princess of Chu and ascended the throne of the regent of the State of Reincarnation, they have since gained the power of the newly established Wu Kingdom. However, the Emperor was killed by Beichen in two days and captured the Xindu. Although everyone is full of confidence in the new Regent, they are still uneasy at this moment. No one knows that if this step is taken, what is waiting for them is the future founding fathers or the future guillotine.
However, there is another more important thing waiting for them to make a decision. On the one hand, the barrier to the west of Wu State Jianghan is in critical condition and urgently needs rescue. On the other hand, it is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity for the Northern Expedition. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind. Many generals believe that as long as the Northern Expedition is launched as planned, the recovery of Huainan is just around the corner. Even the Northern Expedition Army is very likely to recover Huainan and Si Shui together in one fell swoop. If this is successful and the recovery of Huaini and Si will be an unprecedented victory for Wu State.
Should we save Jianghan or attack Huaisi in the north?
This issue is too important, and no one dares to speak casually. Proposing not to save Jiang Han would undoubtedly mean to be a divorce from the regent's brother and sister, and no one can guarantee that the Northern Expedition would be successful. If the Northern Expedition fails and Jiang Han is abandoned, the Wu Kingdom will probably not last long.
It is proposed to save Jiang Han, but everyone has already supported the princess as the regent, which is equivalent to betraying the two brothers of the Shen family. When the Shen family is rescued, how can we face the next situation?
The generals were silent for a moment and turned their eyes to Shen Luoyan, who was in the upper head.
Shen Luoyan did not speak, but turned her attention to Huainan Marshal Du Fuwei.
Under the oppression of Shen Luoyan and the generals, Du Fuwei had to harden his head and said, "Your Highness, I think it is not appropriate to rescue Jianghan. Jianghan has been occupied by the Chen army first. If we want to support Jianghan, we must attack Jiujiang first. But this year our army has attacked Jiujiang twice in a row, and no results have been achieved. What's more, Jianghan has been taken away by Lu Shishen and Zhang Zhongjian. The two major cities of Xiangyang and Jingzhou were all occupied by the enemy. The only one left is Jiangxia, who is isolated and helpless, and it is difficult to hold on. If we do not have a hurry to rescue Jianghan, we may miss the opportunity to attack the north. Therefore, I think we should temporarily give up Jianghan and make every effort to attack the north. As long as we seize Huai Si, it is worth it even if Jianghan is really lost."
Du Fuwei's adopted son Wang Xiongdan also loudly supported the commander's words: "Your Highness, Jianghan has lost all his important places. Now Jianghan is just a useless person. What's more, the third and fourth princes are not good people. If they weren't for their throne, they wouldn't have caused the current situation. What's the point of saving him? When he saves him, he would have to cause trouble with His Highness again. It's better not to save him."
"I don't know that Marshal Du and General Wang's eyes are so short-sighted!" After a few cases, Li Baiyao, a scholar who served as a small official in the palace, said coldly.
"Li Baiyao, what do you mean? The minister discusses matters. Which turn is the time to start? "Ximen Junyi shouted dissatisfied.
Li Baiyao was a famous scholar in Jiangdong, but he was not from Jiangdong. His father Li Delin was once the Inner Historian of the Sui Dynasty, and preliminarily revised the history of the country, and wrote "History of Qi". During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Baiyao served as the prince's servant and the scholar of the Eastern Palace. During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, he served as the Sima of Guizhou and was moved to the magistrate of Jian'an County. Later, the various tribes in Jiangdong changed their banners, and he was also furious by Shen Faxing to become an official in the Southern Chen. However, although Shen Faxing valued his talents, he had always been a small official.
"As Your Highness summons me, I should show that I have met you. Although Lord Du is a marshal, it is not everything. If there is nothing wrong with His Highness, then the Northern Expedition is naturally the best strategy. But it is not yesterday. Now the King of Wu has passed away and Jiang Ling has lost again. The counties of Jianghan may face the risk of losing all at any time. At this time, you will ignore the Jianghan in your hands and attack Huainan, which is still under the command of Chen's army. Isn't this a laugh?"
"You slanderous sneer, you also understand the strategy of military strategy?" Du Fuwei sneered.
"Master Chen, please continue to say." Chen Luoyan suppressed Du Fuwei and others with a word.
Li Baiyao sang: "The Northern Expedition seems to be bright. But that must be under the control of Jianghan. Although there is a big river in Jiangdong, Jianghan and Huai and Si will definitely gain one side to be stable. If both of them can compete to dominate the world. However, Jianghan is in danger now, but Huai and Si are still in the air. Although Jianghuai's troops have been drawn north, I will only ask one question: Who can have the confidence to capture the important town of Jiangdu?"
Jiangdu was the palace where Yang Guang visited Jiangnan many times, and it was operated extremely gorgeous and sturdy. Especially in the past four or five years, Nanchen had been besieging Jiangdu for more than a thousand days. But in addition to making Jiangdu more and more powerful, facing this enemy city that was across the river and facing Jiankang Capital, Nanchen could only be helpless. The biggest obstacle to this Northern Expedition was undoubtedly Jiangdu City.
"If Jiangdu doesn't take off for a day, then our Northern Expedition will be difficult to succeed in one day. With a fortress like Jiangdu stuck behind him, even if we can capture the towns on the south bank of the Huai River, we may be bitten by the enemy at any time. What's more, Jianghan is more important to us at this time. If Jianghan loses Jianghan, Chen's army can join forces with Jiujiang counties. Then they go down the river from the upper reaches, how can we resist? Moreover, the King of Wu is newly destroyed and the morale of the army is depressed. At this time, Your Highness is the Regent, and he needs to raise an army to avenge the King of Wu and recover the lost territory. Letting the two princes be in Jianghan is likely to split the court."
Li Baiyao's tone was sonorous, his attitude was confident, and he was extremely persuasive and infectious. He was impressed by his awesome momentum. None of the generals in the crowd refuted.
After hearing this, Chen Luoyan felt that there was something in it. Chen Luoyan was supported by the generals and became the regent. But she was a woman after all, and women were in charge of the rule, and has always been criticized. As long as there were men in the Shen family, no one would like to see her do this. And Li Baiyao's words actually told her that at such a moment, it is better to have an Annei than to go to the northern expedition to attack foreign enemies.
To fight against foreign countries, she must first settle the internal affairs. If she cannot unify the internal affairs and pacify the division of the Shen family, she will not be able to truly take charge of the power of Jiangnan.
Du Fuwei was still there to argue, "That's the case, but now is the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition. Once you miss it, there will be no such good opportunity."
The falling geese slowly stood up, their faces full of solemnity.
She looked at everyone calmly. There was a convincing power in her eyes: "Although North Chen is powerful, outside the border, 400,000 Turkic troops are sharpening their swords and ready to go south at any time. Chen Pojun has already drawn a large number of troops to the north, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the south. In the battle of Jiangling, Lu Shishen seized the land of our four counties, but it was already the end of a strong oar. If it weren't for the civil strife of Shen, the Chen army would not have had this opportunity at all. We still have 350,000 troops in our hands, and there are more than 100,000 troops in Jianghan and Zhucheng. As long as we counterattack, Jianghan will definitely regain it. Everyone. What does Chen Kefu need most now? It is time. No matter how strong the Chen army is, it cannot fight at several lines at the same time. As long as he is given half a year, Chen Kefu will definitely be able to resolve the war in the north, and then a million troops will be able to move south."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
As the generals held their breath, the room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling off could be heard clearly. The crisp sound of the falling geese quietly rippled indoors: "Chen Kefu has reached his limit, so let's add another straw to him and give him a fatal blow."
Li Baiyao said in surprise: "Your Highness is preparing to send troops to Jianghan?"
The falling geese stood solemnly, and the lightning was revealed in their eyes, just like the thunderbolts before the storm was about to come, passing through the sky: "Chen's army is already at the end of the strong oars. Any strong counterattack may cause him to break the strings to collapse. The defense of the southern part of Chen State is already very weak. It is strong on the outside and the middle is hard. As long as we can break this thin shell, we can enter the Central Plains in one fell swoop, break Xiangyang, and break Luoyang!"
The generals stood up in unison, and for a moment, shook their armor. Whether they agreed or opposed the generals who sent troops to Jianghan just now, their determination was just the same: "We are willing to follow Your Highness, and we will not hesitate to do anything!"
"Generals, organize the troops and mobilize the team. We are about to set off!"
The morning light lit up, and a low horn echoed over Jiankang, and the turbulent horn made people feel energetic.
Some business travelers from other places didn't know why, and local residents told them: "This is a marching call, and His Highness the Princess is going to send troops!"
Send troops. Send troops! Where is the target? You can know without asking, Beichen!
The people who heard the news were all very energetic. Although they were once the people of the Chen family, time passed, the north and south had fought for many years, and the century had already suffered from countless wars. Now, when they heard the north and the Chen Kefu, they all regarded it as an enemy and thief who invaded their homeland. They wished they could completely defeat the Chen army and cross the Yangtze River. Especially the aristocratic and common people who fled from Shandong, Huaibei, and Huainan all the way to Jiangnan, they were always looking forward to crossing the Yangtze River and returning to their hometown.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered on both sides of the street to watch the grand event of the army's war. The crowds were like mountains and seas, and cheers and slogans were heard one after another. Although many people found that many banners in today's army were a little unfamiliar, and even many new notices were posted on the streets. Literacy told them that the emperor Chen Shen in the palace had been abolished, and the current owl was changed to the State of Wu. The youngest son of the fifth son of the King of Wu became the new emperor, while the princess of Chu became the regent of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the State of the
However, most people did not take these changes seriously. In the chaotic era, it was normal for dynasties to change, and even the emperor did it in turn. No one in Jiangnan knew that this world would be the world of the Shen family. Everyone knew that sooner or later, the Shen family would become the emperor. For them, as long as there was no chaos and no robbery, no matter who became the emperor, no matter what country he changed, it had nothing to do with the people.
Surrounded by the fresh huā and ribbons in the sandy road, the army under the Shen Luoyan commanded the city in an orderly manner, with endless stairs and cavalry, neat formations and magnificent army.
The first one was the Princess Guards Cavalry Unit with more than 30,000 people, which was the most eye-catching team.
The cavalry were equipped with spears and imitating the Northern Chen standard sabers, wearing red light armor and red cloaks. Even the streamers on their pointed helmets were cherry-red, fluttering in the wind. The 30,000 troops looked like a red cloud floating on the earth. Above this huge red cloud were dense spears and a sharp sabers. The cavalry raised their chests and necks, looking down at the four sides, full of arrogance.
This is a unit with brilliant achievements and merits. They have emerged many times and attacked cities and destroyed ponds. This is a direct unit of Shen Luoyan, a elite army who is truly loyal to Shen Luoyan. (To be continued.!~!
