Hard to be a good wife

"Report...Chuzhou City sent an urgent message from [-] miles away, and three nearby villages were slaughtered overnight. After investigation, it was the work of North Vietnamese soldiers!"

"Report... [-] enemy ships have appeared on the coast of the South China Sea, and Songxi County along the coast has been occupied!"

"Report... the rebellion of the bereaved clan of friends in the Southwest, colluding with King Qi to rebel, gathering an army of [-], and the menacing attack, please send troops to suppress it!"

In the same month, several urgent reports were sent to the palace, and the Southern Jin Dynasty seemed to have touched the bad luck of some great ceremony. Bad things happened one after another, which immediately shocked the people of the whole country.

The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was even more furious. He nearly beheaded three ministers and dropped countless cups. He was anxious for several days to discuss the important matter of resisting the enemy.

If the enemy of the Southern Jin Dynasty was only any one of these three parties, then the King of the Southern Jin Dynasty would definitely not worry about it, just send troops to suppress it.

However, if the troops were to be divided into three groups, given the current national strength and military strength of the Southern Jin Dynasty, it would be a bit depressing.

"It is understandable that North Vietnam sent troops, and King Qi's rebellion was also expected. However, Nansha Kingdom is a tiny place, and the Southern Jin Dynasty has always been the leader. Why did they send troops to fight against the Southern Jin Dynasty? Where did they have the courage?" Take the case.

As we all know, the Nansha Kingdom is just a small island country with a small population. Even if all the people are soldiers, it is not as good as a finger in the Southern Jin Dynasty. All ships right?

Someone whispered back: "It seems that the queen of Nansha Kingdom is Princess Tangxi."

The King of Southern Jin's complexion turned dark, the corners of his mouth twitched, hiding great anger, very few people knew about the County King's Mansion, everyone was guessing the reason, but no one would associate him with Mrs. Ying.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the invasion of Nansha Kingdom is probably because the Lord Tangxi wants to avenge his father, right?

"That's just right. Although Nansha is small, it is rich in products. It's good to destroy them!" The King of Nanjin glanced around and asked in a deep voice: "Which general is willing to fight?"

The ministers were quiet for a long time, and Duke Heng stood up bravely and said, "Your Majesty, although Nansha's military strength is not worth mentioning, we only need [-] troops to defeat the enemy in a frontal confrontation. Once they are out of sea, no amount of troops we send will help."

Although there were boats in the Southern Jin Dynasty, they were all fishing boats, which were not enough to carry too many soldiers. Without boats, they would have nothing to do with the Nansha Kingdom.

For a while, everyone was even more silent. The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't expect that a small country would stump them.

"What do you think, Prince?" The King of Southern Jin cast his eyes on Prince Zhao, and everyone turned their eyes away, staring at Prince Zhao anxiously, hoping that he would come up with a good idea.

Prince Zhao was dressed in a black costume and a golden crown, with a calm demeanor, which made people more confident.

"Father, the North Vietnam, the Southwest, and the Nansha invaded almost at the same time. It couldn't have been accidental. It must have been an alliance initiated by one of them. In this way, we in the Southern Jin Dynasty can't just focus on one side. Xi, will inevitably create opportunities for the opponent, but we must send troops at the same time and divide them into three groups, we are obviously not enough to deal with it."

The ministers nodded one after another, and only listened to His Royal Highness continue to analyze: "But as long as it is an alliance, it must be related to interests. If we can break their alliance relationship, we can buy a favorable period of preparation for the Southern Jin Dynasty."

"How to break it?" The King of Nanjin asked closely.

"My son is just guessing that the Nansha dispatch of troops should be the pillow wind blown by Tangxi, which can make the King of Nansha agree. Tangxi must have reached an agreement with some party. Judging from her identity, it may be that King Qi sent someone to contact her. , through her hatred, contributed to this painting.

The Nansha has a small force, and the [-] ships are already doing their best. They can't afford to lose. Therefore, they have nothing to do with the Nansha. They just need to send [-] troops to station along the coast and monitor their actions at any time. We are not theirs on the water. opponents, but on the shore, they are also hard to beat. "

"Good!" Duke Heng was the first to applaud. He only thought about winning the battle just now, but he forgot that it can be restrained. As long as the opponent's troops are restrained and they don't make trouble, the three thousand troops are enough!

"What about the North Yue, the King of Qi, and the Yueyi Clan?" None of these three parties are vegetarians. The former has a deep hatred with the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the latter wants to seize power. up.

Speaking of which, the Yueyi tribe has always been a very xenophobic nation. They were able to become independent because of their terrain and environment. The Southern Jin Dynasty also wanted to capture their territory, but they tried a few times and lost too much, so they gave up.

"It goes without saying that North Vietnam, even if they don't start this battle, we in the Southern Jin Dynasty will not let them go, so our main force should still be on the battlefield of North Vietnam.

As for King Qi... I have a proposal, but this proposal I want to discuss with my father in private. Prince Zhao ignored the minister's curious eyes and looked up at the man on the throne.

The King of Southern Jin did not object, even if he had scruples about Prince Zhaoduo, he would not suspect him of tampering with the war.

"Come forward, prince." Prince Zhao of the Southern Jin Dynasty beckoned.

Prince Zhao walked up the steps and whispered a word in the ear of the King of Nanjin. The officials stretched their ears to try to hear a word, but they heard nothing as expected.

They only saw that the face of the King of Southern Jin changed, and he was faintly happy. It was obvious that Prince Zhao's advice was very good.

When Prince Zhao walked down, the King of Southern Jin said in a deep voice: "The war is imminent. I want to send [-] troops to fight against North Vietnam. I ordered Xia Kui, the Duke of Lu, as the commander, Lu Xingjiang as the deputy commander, Hu Jinpeng as the vanguard, and Tang Yu as the supervisor. When we set out in the future, once we arrive at the strategic supplies, we must prepare them properly within three days, and the grain and grass will be requisitioned from Chuzhou City for [-] shi, and the Marquis of Liyang will be appointed as the grain and grass officer to take charge of the grain and grass.”

The eyes of those who were named were all wide-eyed. This matter of leading the army is a great thing for generals. Without military industry, it will be difficult for them to be promoted. To become a king, but everyone has ambitions, so it may not be impossible to become a king.

Xia Kui, Duke of Lu, was the first to stand up and vowed to complete the task to the death!Not to be outdone, the rest took orders one after another.

Everyone was curious about how the King of Southern Jin was going to deal with King Qi and the Yue Yi Clan, but the King didn't say anything, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also looked unpredictable, so they could only suppress their curiosity in their hearts.

"In addition, General Fu Heng will set off with [-] troops today to garrison Songxi County. We must block the Nansha Kingdom from the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty!"

"The minister takes orders!"

When the court meeting was over, the King of Southern Jin didn't mention this matter, so they could only boldly speculate that the crown prince Zhao had a recipe for victory.

If someone else said this, they would not believe it, but they still feel that they are [-]% sure of what His Royal Highness said.

His Royal Highness has become more and more proficient in handling government affairs over the years, and has long been able to take charge of his own affairs. Many people have forgotten that he was once an invincible general.

Walking out of the hall, An Guogong was the first to move closer to Prince Zhao, and asked everyone's aspirations, "What trick does the prince want to use against King Qi?"

Prince Zhao looked left and right, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "To capture the thief, first capture the king."

An Guogong nodded, but he was not without concerns, "I'm afraid this will be very difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, it can't compare to the confrontation between two armies." In Prince Zhao's view, it is definitely easier to assassinate a person than to kill an army. Of course, how to kill this thief requires careful planning. .

"Did Your Majesty ask His Highness to take charge of this matter?" Duke An frowned, looking very disapproving.

In his opinion, it is very thankless for Prince Zhao to take on this task. Everyone is happy if he succeeds, but the King of Southern Jin will still not let him take power with confidence. If he fails, he will be blamed. .

"It was Gu's request. Grandpa can rest assured. Since Gu put forward this proposal, he is [-]% sure that it will succeed. Even if it fails, it will not put him in an embarrassing situation."

It is not for nothing that he has sat on the position of prince for so many years. It is not so easy to shake his position even if he is the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Hearing what he said, An Guogong felt more relieved, "If you need help, just ask your grandfather."

"That's natural." Prince Zhao walked with him for a while, then called Hu Jinpeng to the front, and said in front of An Guogong: "This battle, cousin is the vanguard, you must pay attention to safety, and don't rush into anything. Before the king of Qi solves the problem, he only wants to be undefeated but not successful."

"Why?" Hu's father and son asked in surprise.

Prince Zhao glanced at a high-spirited person in front of him, "Your king appointed Xia Kui as the commander-in-chief this time, and Lu Xingjiang as the deputy commander-in-chief. These two people are not compatible at all. They will inevitably make mistakes on the battlefield. Gu is not optimistic about it." After this battle is resolved by the King of Qi, I will ask for orders to go out."

"Prince, no!" An Guogong was extremely opposed, "You are classified as a prince, how can you take risks yourself?"

"Grandfather doesn't have to worry. He knows the terrain of the border like the back of his hand and has experience. He is no worse than others."

"Grandfather doesn't doubt the prince's ability, but if you have a different status, how can you take the risk of leading troops? It's better to sit in the back without being judged."

Hu Jinpeng also meant the same thing. Today is different from the past. In the past, Prince Zhao went out with the army to prove himself and stay away from the palace. Now he is the prince, and more importantly, he is staying in the court.

Prince Zhao shook his head, "Northern Vietnam is the biggest obstacle to the Southern Jin Dynasty's unification of the world. Gu must go to the battle himself, and this is also for Gu himself."

An Guogong and his son looked at each other. Although they still objected, they couldn't refute his words. They both knew that being able to personally lead troops to defeat North Vietnam would be of great help to Prince Zhao's reputation.

At that time, even if the King of Southern Jin doesn't want to pass on him, no one will agree.
