Yecheng.
Brother Mo took a deep breath, changed into new clothes, stood at the gate of the palace, and silently recited the etiquette he should use when he saw the Heavenly King later.
This meeting is extremely important and can even determine the national destiny of the Khitan for a hundred years.
This time, he stayed in Zhongyuan for more than two months because he had to wait for Liu Taozi.
During this period, he had a deeper understanding of the Central Plains, or rather, his deeper understanding of this new regime.
Although the ancestor was very close to him and expressed his help, the real decision was the great Han king who was about to pay homage to him.
I don't know what he would be about himself.
He looked to the other side again.
Mu Kunya stood there, he looked equally nervous and worried,
This is understandable. After all, his situation is worse than that of Mo Ge. Mo Ge can at least speak to Zu Ban here, and he completely ignored it. He finally pulled the Goguryeo people over.
Such a thing happened.
He was a little desperate about the situation that followed.
But within the Three Kingdoms, the Xi people are closest to the Han Kingdom, and the two sides have fought in the past, so the relationship is not good.
Thinking of the situation facing the opponent, Brother Mo's mood suddenly improved a lot.
No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the other party?
With this thought, Brother Mo finally waited for the guard who came out to lead them in.
Under the leadership of these people, Mo Ge and Mu Kunya didn't talk to each other and just kept their heads moving forward.
I don’t know how long they had left, but they were taken to a hall. After the guards left, they finally met the great Han king.
Liu Taozi sat in the upper seat and looked at the two people in front of him.
Judging from the appearance alone, they are no different from the people of Hebei, they all have the same appearance.
"Kitan envoy Mo Ge pays homage to Your Majesty!!"
The two of them reported their names in unison and prayed.
Liu Taozi looked at them for a moment and said, "Give him a seat."
Only then did the two dare to sit down.
Liu Taozi said, "I have heard from my grandfather talk about you two."
"You both want to pay tribute and open the market. Is this the purpose of this?"
Joy appeared on Brother Mo's face, and he hurriedly said, "We have admired Your Majesty for a long time. This time we came to pay tribute to the court. As for whether the market is opened, we dare not ask for it!"
Mu Kunya cursed this shameless thing in his heart, but also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we are just here to offer gifts! Your Majesty is the power of heaven, and everyone in the world knows it. This time I only hope to bring the gifts to you.
There is nothing else to ask for in front of you!"
The two began to sing high-profile.
Liu Taozi shook her head gently, "I have always been direct and there is no need to hide it."
"I don't object to you. If you want to live in harmony, that's even better."
"But there is only one thing... I surrender today, if I rebel tomorrow, I will not attack myself. When the city is broken, no one will stay..."
Brother Mo raised his head. The emperor in front of him seemed to have a ghost with a mad king in the past for a moment. He had experienced that period of time. He felt cold all over and could not speak, and he was extremely scared.
Although Gao Yang was crazy and fisting around, it was not completely useless, at least it left a huge psychological shadow on the frontiers.
This has led to their inexplicable horror when facing the rulers of the Central Plains for many years.
Either they are afraid or terrified. As long as the other party shows a little kindness, they will be particularly excited.
All kinds of honorific titles are added.
Mu Kunya was the first to react, "I will definitely not dare to rebel against Your Majesty!!"
"My Lord follows with all his heart!"
Brother Mo hurriedly followed.
The two started touting each other again.
Then, they naturally offered their own gifts. Of course, they did not bring the gifts directly to the emperor.
Instead, I read out the list of gifts.
Liu Taozi then issued an edict announcing their rewards and special honors.
Liu Taozi conferred the commander of the Khitan Tribal Alliance as King Zhongyi, and also conferred the masters of the tribes under the Mo to the marquis, and then conferred the commander of the Xi people as King Xi, and conferred the masters of the demons as Duke.
Both envoys were particularly excited and hurriedly thanked them.
After a series of trivial rituals, the two left.
Things like trading are not needed by Liu Taozi himself.
When both of them walked out, Zu Ban walked out from behind the screen not far away, his smile was particularly cunning, and he slowly sat next to Liu Taozi.
"Your Majesty, it seems that they have not found the difference yet."
"When the official amnesty order, scepter, official uniform, seal and other items arrive, they will understand...
Liu Taozi asked, "Can you not consider the frontier for the time being?"
"That's right, let them play for a while. Your Majesty, it's time to destroy Zhou."
Zu Ban raised his head slightly, "Yuwen Yong was completely overwhelmed by anger. He actually dared to take the main army away from the north and go to Jingzhou.:::. He felt that we had expanded too much before and could not eat more.
Things despise us so much."
"It doesn't prevent us from doing anything at all."
"How to digest it, there will naturally be an explanation after you take it!"
"Your Majesty, at this moment, we should start soon."
In fact, Liu Taozi had never discussed things like destroying Zhou with Zu Ban. After going to Luozhou this time, Liu Taozi made all the strategies and arrangements he had made, and Zu Ban didn't know at all.
However, Zu Ban had already seen Liu Taozi's next plan.
This may be the tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.
Liu Taozi said, "It's after autumn, I'm going to rush to Xiazhou first, and when it's winter, I will lead the army of the two states of Xia to take Chang'an."
"The Zhou army was in Nanyang. If we learned that we were attacking Chang'an, we would definitely be frightened. If we were in a hurry to evacuate, the Chen people could pursue it. If we could not evacuate, we could take Chang'an and attack Yuwen Yong.
Capture it alive.”
Zu Ban nodded, "If the army from other places is mobilized to Xiazhou, there will be too much noise. If the Zhou people learned that there was an army mobilization, Yuwen Yong would immediately stop the war and retreat to defend."
"The army in Lingzhou and Xiazhou are all elite, and it is enough to only bring two of them."
Zu Ban took out a map from his arms and placed it in front of Liu Taozi. The two began to discuss the key to this dispatch of troops.
Both of them felt that this was not suitable for too many people to know. It would be best if Liu Taozi and Zu Ban secretly left in the name of going to the frontier and rushed to the frontier quickly. The generals only need to order a few generals on the frontier.
Just do a good job of precautions.
As for strategy, it is naturally focused on capturing Chang'an. This time, I finally began to care about the gains and losses of a city and a place.
Zu Ban has many craftsmen here. Zu Ban believes that they can be brought with them. If they want to attack Chang'an, these craftsmen will definitely play a huge role.
These two people do things very quickly, and they dare to do it if they dare to speak, without hesitation at all.
As for official positions, Zu Ban believes that he can't prepare too much.
Although this time it was a battle to destroy Zhou, it was impossible to fight the entire Zhou Kingdom in one battle. It was even more delusional to conquer the entire Zhou Kingdom in one battle. The main purpose was to break Chang'an and destroy the core of Zhou Kingdom. If so
It is the best to take the opportunity to kill Yuwen Yong.
The capital of the country was defeated, but in fact it was not much different from destruction. The entire Zhou State was afraid that it would become a disabled person and be beaten to death.
For the Zhou Kingdom, the fall of Chang'an was a disaster, and for the Han Kingdom, it was a fucking call of 'remaining the old capital'.
Zu Ban planned it well that this time, he will also follow Liu Taozi to Xiazhou as a military base.
Mianshui.
The giant ship split the water splash and ran towards the Zhou army formation.
"boom!!"
A golden-winged ship had no time to dodge, and was hit hard by the wooden pole of the giant ship, and instantly lost its ability to move.
The water surface was densely filled with warships from both sides, with more than a thousand.
Among them are huge giant ships, medium-sized warships, and many hazy boats.
I saw broken wood floating on the water, shouting and killing sounds were everywhere, and arrows kept flying towards each other. The fire ships in the distance were burning with raging fire, blocking the way for the big ship.
Hua Jiao stood at the bow of the boat and was commanding with all his strength.
Hua Jiao learned from the last lesson and dared not fight with Zhou Chuan anymore. Both sides opened the front line. This was Hua Jiao and the other was Quan Jingxuan. The two of them commanded their own commands and did not interfere with each other.
Hua Jiao's defection made the Zhou naval army rise greatly. It not only obtained many warships, but also many precious craftsmen. This allowed the Zhou naval army to have the power to fight when facing the Chen naval army, and would not be completely lost.
Going into a disadvantage.
The two sides fought fiercely, and countless households were floating on the Mianshui.
At the same time, on land, both sides were also in a tough battle.
The Zhou people were very angry, and the generals were extremely brave. The emperor was behind them, and they all charged for fear of life. The Chen people occupied the dangerous terrain in advance, and with the protection of the city wall, Huang Faji and others commanded it with all their strength.
Repel the enemy's attacks.
The blood from both sides dyed every inch of Jingbei red, and a large number of soldiers died every day.
However, the front line was being pushed forward, the Zhou people's offensive became more and more fierce, and the situation on land was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Chen people.
Nanyang City.
Huang Fata held a big bow in his hand, stood on the city tower, staring at the enemy in the distance.
His face was covered with blood, and his body and stomach were damaged.
The enemy's offensive is really too fierce.
After Yuchi Jia blocked the retreat route, he counterattacked again and started a fierce attack for several days without stopping. Huang Fajita fought for several days.
Yesterday, he ordered Xiao Moha to take advantage of the enemy's rotational attacks to attack. Xiao Moha killed all directions and successfully shot and killed an enemy general, and then brought the rest of the people back. The Zhou people's offensive was slightly weak.
Converged a little.
Even so, the atmosphere in the city is still a little wrong.
When they shouted that they wanted to capture Jiangling, they were all extremely excited and excited.
After Liu Taozi left, they even proposed to concentrate their troops directly to take Jiangling first, and then use Jiangling as the foundation to defend the Zhou people.
Not to mention how many troops there are in Jiangling, the city walls that have been reinforced several times cannot be taken down in a short time.
Huang Fajita is now glad that he did not follow them to fight Jiangling. Now he is just guarding Nanyang and other places, and he seems so powerless.
The generals who used to shout all day long are now completely speechless.
After suffering several sieges, everyone understood what the Zhou people looked like, and their faces were full of horror.
Those who came to gilded were now so scared that Hao Tao hid in the official office and cried loudly, and he didn't even dare to go out of the door.
Huang Fa stared at the distance without saying a word.
"What are the general thinking?"
Xiao Mohe walked to Huang Fashu at some point, and many parts of his body were bandaged. This time he rushed to the formation, he was also seriously injured.
"I'm thinking about a plan to get out of the enemy...:"
"How is your injury?"
"Not hindrance, it's just a few minor injuries, and you can still pull a strong bow!"
The two looked at the enemy in the distance together. The enemy was being mobilized frequently. Huang Fa poked it and they were preparing for the next fierce attack.
Huang Fajita is quite worried.
"We can still stick to this place, but we don't know where General Chunyu Liang...:::
Xiao Mohe hurriedly said, "General Huang, don't worry. Although General Chunyu is old, he is brave and good at fighting, and is not inferior to the northerners..."
"I'm not saying that his talent is inferior, but those who followed him to Mianyang."
"Many of those people have never fought with the Zhou people, but have just become generals with the reputation of their fathers and grandparents. The biggest military achievements in daily life are just to eliminate the water thieves. Now they are fighting with the fierce Zhou people, I am afraid that they will be shocked.
Fear caused trouble to General Chunyuliang...
The young man was in the camp outside the west of Nanyang, and the Emperor of Zhou had already visited the battlefield.
Yuwen Yong was sitting in a chariot and looking at the soldiers around him. He originally wanted to continue moving forward and reach the city of Nanyang.
But Yuchi Jiong stopped him again and again, so anxious that he had to bow for several times. Yuwen Yong did not continue to move forward.
Despite this, his arrival still made the morale of the soldiers here soar and they shouted.
Yuwen Yong looked at the armor and was really very heroic.
He got out of the car, and the generals bowed and bowed one by one. Yuwen Yong helped them up, greeted them one by one, and went to see a few injured generals and gave them rewards.
After completing a series of procedures, Yuchi Jiong invited him into the commander's tent.
When there was no one around, Yuwen Yong asked, "Where is the King of Qi?"
Yuchi Jiong immediately replied, "The King of Qi has gone to Mianyang."
"Oh? Isn't Quan Jingxuan responsible there? He doesn't attack Nanyang with you, why should he go to Mianyang?"
"Your Majesty, Nanyang City is hard and difficult to attack. He was rushed to the formation before. The King of Qi believed that he could not attack at the same time.
We should break it one by one, and then we led the elite to Mianyang."
Yuwen Yong nodded, his face calm, and he could not tell his inner thoughts.
He sat in the upper position, then looked at the door unhappily, "Come in."
The next moment, Yang Jian and Wei Xiaokuan walked in quickly. Their expressions were completely opposite. One looked very happy and excited, while the other looked lifeless.
Yuwen Yong first looked at Yang Jian with a gentle look on his face, "This time, Duke Sui made merits again. If Duke Sui had not come forward in time, I was afraid that the enemy would advance to Xiangyang."
"After that, I'm the Duke of the State, I know I can't let him down.
This is quite harsh.
Wei Xiaokuan stood here, just thinking that he had heard nothing.
Yuwen Yong then looked at Wei Xiaokuan.
"Duke Yun, don't you have anything to say?"
Wei Xiaokuan suddenly raised his head, his old and handsome look was quite pitiful.
"Your Majesty shouldn't have come."
Wei Xiaokuan suddenly said.
"What?"
Yuwen Yong was stunned.
Wei Xiaokuan murmured, "Liu Taozi."
"Um?"
"Liu Taozi will attack the rear."
Yuwen Yong laughed angrily.
"Yeah?"
"Then I will not be attacked by Liu Taozi twice in a row, right?"
Wei Xiaokuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly dimmed and he closed his mouth.
Yuwen Yong looked at him deeply, "Duke Yun... This time, you really disappointed me."
"Come."
Hearing this sentence, Yuchi Jiong couldn't sit still and hurriedly got up. Yuwen Yong noticed this. He smiled and looked at Yuchi Jiong, "I won't kill you, why are you going to stand up?"
Yuchi Jiong immediately sweated and fell on his back, "Old minister, Your Majesty...
"Duke of Yun killed his troops and generals, and for his past military achievements, he dismissed his official position, retained his title, and ordered him to return to Chang'an to retire...."
Wei Xiaokuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yuwen Yong ignored him, but turned his head and refused to see him having a guard coming forward and asked Wei Xiaokuan to leave with them.
Yuchi Jiong looked at Wei Xiaokuan who was leaving, his eyes were a little confused, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell what was the reason.
When Wei Xiaokuan left, Yuwen Yong said hatefully: "I should have dismissed Wei Xiaokuan long ago. I always say something different from others and show my talents, but at the critical moment, I always send it.
Not useful, just a guard...
1
At this moment, Yuchi Jiong suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty.::. What the Duke Xunguo said just now is not unreasonable."
"The army is in the south at the moment, if Liu Taozi attacks from the north...
"Don't worry, I left enough troops in Nanxiang to guard against Liu Taozi."
"No, what I mean is, if the enemy goes south from Xiazhou...
"Although I don't know the military, I know politics. The Han Dynasty has just occupied so many states, so where can I have the ability to occupy more places?"
"Your Majesty, although there is mutual communication between military and political affairs, it is not completely similar.:::. Sending troops can not only occupy them, but also destroy them, and plunder them. If the enemy plunders..."
