my wife is mulan

"It is said that there are still 500 million guan!" Cui Hao just said an approximate figure.

In Shangshutai, Dongfang Chen and Cui Hao are the left and right servants respectively. They have a division of labor, Dongfang Chen is in charge of government affairs, and Cui Hao is in charge of military affairs, so Cui Hao is not very clear about government affairs, but Also understand a little bit.

"Is there still 500 million crowns?" Zhao Junsheng frowned and asked, "How many days are left before the three-month compensation period?"

"It's been less than a month!"

Zhao Junsheng walked to the entrance of the main hall with his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, and made a decision: "Send a quick horse to reply to Zhang Xing, and ask him to send someone to tell Yang Nandang that I have signed a peace treaty with the Southern Dynasty. Sending troops to fight against the Southern Dynasties, I really want to help Qiu Chi, but Qiu Chi has no vassal relationship with me, and I have no obligation to send troops to protect the safety of Qiu Chi, unless Yang Nandang sends an envoy to Qianjing to have an audience The above table officially proclaims me a minister, and I can justifiably send out troops. During this period, if Yang Nandang can't resist, he can lead his troops to retreat into our Dagan territory for refuge. I believe that the Song army will not dare to chase into our territory!"

Cui Hao bowed and bowed: "I understand, let's make arrangements now!"

It was already ten days after Zhang Xing of Chang'an received the decision from the imperial court. He immediately called Yang Nandang's envoy to inform Yang Nandang of the court's decision, and asked him to return to Qiuchi State to relay it to Yang Nandang.

Yang Nandang was already having a hard time resisting, after hearing what the envoy told him back, he still had a lot of worries, so he immediately sent the envoy to lead the envoy to Qianjing to present himself as a minister.

On the eighth day after the departure of the mission, the Song army broke through Langao, and Yang Nandang's troops withdrew Fu Hongzu's army to Zhuoshui City. Yang Nandang ordered Fu Hongzu to stand by and wait for help.

Fu Hongzu didn't want to be trapped in the city waiting to die, so he led an army of 3000 troops to attack, but was beheaded by Song general Pei Fangming. Qiu Chi's army was defeated, causing countless casualties.

One day later, Song general Pei Fangming led his army to chase to Chiting, where he defeated Yang He again.

Yang Nandang and his son saw that there was no place to stand, so they had to take the remnants of the defeated army and flee across the border with more than [-] people to Shangyu, Qianguo.

Yang Nandang also has a son named Yang Hu, who is the general guard of Yinping. Yinping is in the south of Qiuchi State. 3000 soldiers and horses under his command went north to join Yang Nandang.

After the next debate, Song General Pei Fangming sent his son Pei Suzhi to lead troops to intercept, the two sides fought a battle, Yang Hu was defeated and captured, and then sent to Jiankang for execution by Pei Fangming.

As Yang Nandang and his son retreated to Shangyu, Qianguo with the remnants of the defeated generals, the Song army took only a few days to capture the entire territory of Qiuchiguo.The country of Qiu Chi died.

Qianjing, the racetrack.

This is a recently completed building. The racecourse is built in an oval shape with high and low stands all around. The highest step of the stand is 30 meters high. The stand opposite the main stand has horse racing and knight entrances. There are ten race tracks in total. .

In this matter, there was no horse racing on the racetrack, but a polo match. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan each led a team of palace guards to compete.

With a sound of "bang", Hua Mulan hit the horse and galloped, fiddled with the cue in her hand non-stop, and when she was waiting to gallop near the goal, she swung a stick and hit the polo, and the polo flew into the ground with a "swish". into the goal.

"Good! Good!" Many maids and eunuchs in the stands clapped their hands, Prince Zhao Dong and Princess Zhao Ling also jumped up and clapped their hands non-stop, even if they were excited.

"Stop fighting, take a break!" Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and said, taking off his mask and helmet and throwing it to the knight next to him. His team was a bit unlucky today, and lost three games in a row.

Zhao Junsheng rode to the edge of the horse racing track and saw Lu Xuanbo standing behind the eunuchs and maids, so he waved to him.

When Lu Xuanbo came over, Zhao Junsheng was jumping off his horse to take a towel from an eunuch.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Urgent?"

Lu Xuanbo bowed: "I just received the urgent report that Yang Nandang couldn't resist the attack of the Southern Dynasty army and retreated to Shangyu to rest. The Southern Dynasty army has captured the entire territory of Qiuchi Kingdom!"

Zhao Junsheng was not surprised. Song generals Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming were both famous generals. It would be a big joke if the Southern Dynasty couldn't even defeat Qiu Chi.

"By the way, where is the mission sent by Qiu Chi?"

"We're almost in Dingzhou!"

Two days ago, all the compensation from the Southern Dynasty had been paid, and the money was in hand. Zhao Junsheng had no more scruples. He thought about it, and said to Lu Xuanbo: "We can't wait for the report from Chang'an to arrive. In this way, you will immediately activate the special Send a letter to the black-clothed guards from Yicheng, and ask them to tell Xue Andu the news, and ask Xue Andu to send someone to Jiankang to negotiate with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. The wording must be strict, saying that Qiu Chi has been entrusted to me. As the suzerain country, sending troops from the Southern Dynasty to enter the territory of Qiuchi Kingdom is to invade our Qianguo, which is a violation of the peace treaty. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty should immediately order Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming to withdraw from the territory of Qiuchi Kingdom immediately, and our country will send troops to take over. Otherwise, I will not Do you mind sending troops to Huainan again, to the city of Jiankang!"

"Obey!" Lu Xuanbo clasped his fists in agreement, turned around and left.

Three days later, the report from Chang'an was sent to Qianjing. Even though Zhang Xing used a fast horse of [-] miles, the speed was still not as fast as the black clothes guard's special news transmission channel.

At this time, the mission sent by Yang Nandang just arrived in Qianjing.

Zhao Junsheng received Qiu Chi's envoy in the Taiji Hall, and Qiu Chi's envoy paid a respectful visit and presented himself as a minister.

Zhao Junsheng took the watch, and he notified Qiu Chi's envoy that Qiu Chi's country had been captured by the Song army. I will not sit idly by, and will definitely uphold justice.

After fooling Qiu Chi's envoy Haosheng and sending him back to the post, Zhao Junsheng called several important officials to discuss how to deal with Qiu Chi's aftermath.

Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers: "Actually, the news of the black guard came three days ago. I have ordered Xue An to send someone to Jiankang to meet Liu Jun, and asked him to issue an order to Liu Zhendao and Xue An immediately. They all quickly led their troops to withdraw from Qiuchi, and our country sent troops to take over!"

After hearing this, all the ministers immediately realized that Zhao Junsheng was planning to take Qiu Chi's territory back from Song, and he didn't intend to return it to Yang Nan.

Gao Yun stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, if the Southern Dynasty doesn't withdraw its troops from Qiuchi, won't it hand over Qiuchi to our army?"

"Does it matter? Now that Qiuchi is my Dagan's vassal state, when they attack Qiuchi, they attack my Dagan. If they occupy my Dagan territory, don't you return it? If you don't return it, send troops to take it back!" Cao Jiao stood up and shouted loudly.

Chapter 746 Ultimatum

Cao Jiao's behavior seemed very abrupt in the hall, but Zhao Junsheng did not stop and reprimanded him. He believed that generals should also have the right to speak in the court, especially when it comes to the military level. After all, civil servants have never led soldiers and have no experience. The battlefield is dangerous, and only generals who have led soldiers and commanded battles have an absolute say in this aspect.

Dongfang Chen stood up and expressed solidarity with Cao Jiao's opinion: "Your Majesty, I think General Cao's words are not unreasonable. Our country should make preparations in advance. No matter whether the Southern Dynasty withdraws from Qiuchi or not, our court will have to make a decision." The reaction of sending troops into Qiuchi is to deter the Southern Dynasty, or to attack the Song army in Qiuchi territory, it is to let the Southern Dynasty see that we are definitely not just talking, but wanting to be serious!"

"In addition, the minister also suggested that Yang Nandang be ordered to come to Beijing to face saints before dispatching troops. As for the thousands of remnants and defeated generals that Yang Nandang brought out from Qiuchi, the imperial court had to send someone to keep an eye on them, so that they would not be killed in our army. The borders of the Qian Kingdom are doing something wrong!"

Dongfang Chen's opinion is very pertinent, it is paving the way for the court's follow-up actions.

Knowing that Dongfang Chen had understood his thoughts, Zhao Junsheng asked, "By the way, how many defeated soldiers did Yang Nandang bring from Qiuchi to Shangbei?"

"Return to Your Majesty, about two thousand cavalry!" Cui Hao stood up and replied.

Zhao Junsheng rubbed his chin, "How does Cui Qing think we should deal with Yang Nandang and his defeated generals?"

Cui Hao is also a shrewd person. Since Yang Nandang came out of Qiuchi, he must not be allowed to bring those remnants back with him.Killing can't be killed, Gan country is a big country after all, and it can't do the thing of killing donkeys, so Yang Nandang and his thousands of defeated soldiers can only be resettled separately.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I don't know if Your Majesty dares to use it!"

Zhao Junsheng heard it, "Hey, Cui Qing has used aggressive tactics against me, let's hear it!"

"Yes!" Cui Hao arched his hands, "The minister's idea is to put Yang Nandang and his remnants and defeated generals in the Qiangliang area, and give Yang Nandang a promise to provide them with food and grass for half a year and armor and equipment for 5000 people. If they can snatch the territory, population, food, livestock, and money from Tuyuhun or Beiliang, all of which will belong to them, the imperial court will not want it, and when the time comes, the imperial court will support Yang Nandang to re-establish the country!"

After Cui Hao finished speaking, the hall became silent, but soon the courtiers were talking about it.

Hua Mulan frowned and said, "Cui Qing's strategy sounds feasible. Putting them in Qiangliang to cause chaos and troubles for Tuyuhun and Beiliang, but it is a bit risky. Yang Nandang and his generals are all Di people. , These people are rebellious, once they really open up the situation in the Qiangliang area, I am afraid that they will form a big trend in the future! Also, if they are placed in the Qiangliang area, if they choose to seek refuge in Tuyuhun or Beiliang, they will Losing control, and they turn against us with the support of Tuyuhun or Beiliang, this is shooting themselves in the foot!"

Cui Hao smiled and said: "What the Queen said is true, this plan is very risky, so I asked Your Majesty if you dare!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and said to the ministers: "How to arrange Yang Nandang and his [-] cavalry is temporarily postponed for later discussion. First, I will send people to Shangyu to announce that Yang Nandang will come to Beijing to see me. Retire from the court." !"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he left the hall hand in hand with Hua Mulan, and the ministers bowed down: "Respectfully, Your Majesty!"
