There was also Ning Ya who fought at almost the same time as Hengchuan, but the attention paid to Ning Ya by the court was far less than that of Hengchuan. There was no other reason. Since Wu Xianrong went to Ning Ya once last year, everyone realized that King Yan’s army was just "Specious".

Although this is a master who is not short of money, and Ning Ya is also his lair that he has been running for many years, he can get what he wants, but there are not a few generals who can conquer wars in the whole of Dayu, how can a vassal be different from others? In addition, Ning Ya has lived in the hinterland for a long time, and he rarely fights. Even if there are millions of soldiers, they are all soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. As long as the court can send a decent army, it is not difficult to suppress King Yan.

In the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo had been unwilling to reconcile with Liu Yan'er, and he was even more unwilling to give Wu Xianrong more benefits to let him deal with King Yan. The imperial army could only deal with a powerful Xu Zishen. After weighing the pros and cons, they could only choose to deal with Yan Yan. Wang made an alliance for the time being.

In this life, Xie Ruzhuo wanted to declare war on King Yan at first, but many of the courtiers disagreed, but now no one mentioned that it was inappropriate to declare war on King Yan. They probably thought it would be a good thing to deal with King Yan as soon as possible.

This time Yue Tingchuan took Wu Xianrong's Xishan Army to go, and the journey was steady without defeat. Naturally, the court was relieved and prepared to return in victory, but compared with the joy of Dayu's monarch and ministers, Yan Wang himself is clearly clouded, and life is not so easy.

In late August, Yue Tingchuan had led his army to break through the four prefectures, and the entire central and northern parts of Ningya were basically out of King Yan's control. Yue Tingchuan was preparing to continue southward from the central part.

The first emperor was actually the cousin of Xi Zong. During the Xi Zong Dynasty, the eunuchs were plagued by eunuchs. The court was full of smog, and most of the heirs in the palace were murdered. There were no princes left. Xie Tang, who was the most law-abiding, became the emperor. After Xie Tang ascended the throne, several of his younger brothers were able to be promoted to princes, and they went to fiefdoms to become vassals. King Yan Xie Yan was one of them.

King Yan's Mansion is in Chenzhou, Ningya Yuntian Mansion, but half of Yuntian Mansion has been lost at this time. Although Chenzhou has not been occupied by Yue Tingchuan, it is already the most precarious place to bear the brunt. A few days ago, he left Yuntian Mansion and retreated to the southwest.

In his private house in Duanzhou in the southwest, Xie Yan had dark eyes. After listening to the latest battle report from the front line, even though he tried his best to calm down, he still couldn't hold back his anger. The crackling sound was especially harsh in the silent room.

Everyone in the room got up to comfort them, saying "Your Highness, please calm down", Xie Ning gritted his teeth and said, "My nephew really thinks highly of me, this time I sent the Shenji Battalion here."

Last year they fought against Wu Xianrong, they lost due to lack of experience on the battlefield, and they had almost no chance of winning against the battle-tested Northern Xinjiang cavalry. Yue Tingchuan, compared with Wu Xianrong, was a bit of a breather in terms of tactics. He thought there would be a turning point, but he didn't expect Yue Tingchuan to bring the Shenji Battalion, and when the gunpowder exploded, the casualties were even more tragic than last year.

After Dayu's decline in the Shenji Camp and the recovery of the firearm supply in northern Xinjiang, there were very few troops equipped with firearms in Dayu. Gunpowder was not difficult to obtain, but what was needed was the blueprint of firearms and someone who could make firearms. These are only in the hands of the imperial court, and it is impossible to spread them, and it is even more impossible for the princes of various places to come across firearms.

Xie Yan had predicted the end of this battle after learning that Shenjiying was on the move. This was Emperor Taizu's most proud work. Even the Beidi cavalry were terrified. As long as the present Dayu can rebuild Shenjiying, there is hope to reunite. Returning to the glory of the old year is just suffering from lack of financial support.

Speaking of this, Xie Yan said in a cold voice: "Where did Xie Ruzhuo get the money? He doesn't know how much money the Shenji Camp is burning, it's not that he heard that the treasury doesn't even have money to renovate the palace, and he can afford the Shenji Camp." consumption?"

An aide took out a letter and said, "My lord, didn't we visit Suifang before? If it's not as expected, the emperor should have borrowed money from the Beidi people."

Another staff member pondered for a moment, and said: "The consumption of the Shenji Battalion should be coming to an end soon. Yue Tingchuan has rarely used the Shenji Battalion these days, which means that Dayu's current financial resources cannot support the consumption of the Shenji Battalion for a long time. Yue Tingchuan was so eager to use the Shenji Battalion in the early stage, but he wanted to cut through the mess quickly, taking advantage of the sufficient supply of the Shenji Battalion, to attack first, and then return to the cavalry."

Xie Yan sneered, and said: "But he cut the mess with a sharp knife, and the matter has come to this point, even if he uses the cavalry again, he will not suffer a loss, not to mention that he didn't use the cavalry much in the early stage, and these cavalry are when they are full of energy. It’s not that I haven’t seen the combat power of the Xishan Army before, so what else can I say?”

Several staff members were silent for a while, seeing Xie Yan closing his eyes tiredly as if taking a nap, they gathered together and talked in a low voice, as if they were discussing countermeasures.

Before the court declared war on Ning Ya last year, Xie Yan never thought of the situation today.

When Pingdu fell, he was not the only vassal king from all over the country to stand on his own, but he was the most powerful one. Two of the others had been killed by Xu Zishen, and the other was hiding in Lingnan. If you don't care about it, maybe every self-reliant prince thinks in his heart like him, Xu Zishen can rebel, why can't they?Moreover, Xu Zishen has a foreign surname, no matter how high-sounding he is, he is still a rebel, but his surname is Xie, and he is Huizong's younger brother. If one day he can become the master of Pingdu, his original self-reliance can be explained as revitalizing Dayu in the name of the royal family and pacifying it. rivers and mountains.

His first thought was to form an alliance with Xu Zishen first, and together deal with the imperial court that was retreating in northern Xinjiang, but he sent Xu Zishen a seal but nothing happened, and Xu Zishen ignored him.

So the aides suggested that they could form an alliance with the imperial court first, deal with Xu Zishen in the name of helping the imperial court, and gain the name of a hero.

Xie Yan thought about it all night, and felt that this plan was excellent. The person Xie Ruzhuo hated most at this time must be Xu Zishen. The shame and hatred of the fall of the capital must be revenged by the imperial court, and the sooner the better, if he proposes to cooperate, Xie Ruzhuo will most likely agree. He promised to use his soldiers to deal with Xu Zishen together, and he would be a good man to help Xie Ruzhuo, earn a good reputation as a hero, and win the hearts of the people first, and then he would mobilize his troops and cultivate power so that Xie Ruzhuo would not dare to touch him.

As long as Dayu returns to Pingdu in the future, he will be a heroic king praised by everyone, and his surname is Xie, he is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor will have to weigh it if he wants to kill the donkey Is it cost-effective, will you choose to be scolded by the world when you need to reunite people's hearts the most?

This is a perfect move, Xie Yan almost couldn't wait to agree to cooperate with Xie Ruzhuo.

The aides proposed to make a deal with Pei Yuankai, who was the most feared by the court, to demonstrate to the court, and wait for the court to visit the thatched cottage to ask for their cooperation.

The plan was well thought out, and there seemed to be no problem with it. They used the underground route to give Pei Yuankai a batch of food, grass and weapons, and also gave Pei Yuankai a lot of real money, in exchange for an opportunity to go to Suifang to assassinate and demonstrate.

Obviously everything should be logical, but they never expected that Xie Ruzhuo would declare war on them as soon as he returned to Beijing without any hesitation.

They thought about this question for a long time, but they couldn't figure it out. In the end, the staff just sighed and told him that Xie Ruzhuo was a bold emperor.

Now it seems that Xie Ruzhuo's boldness is because he really dared to do so.

Xie Ruzhuo also made countless transactions to obtain stability, but these intricate relationships are firmly held in his hands, and his hands seem to be able to easily sort out the messy and messy threads, even with one He may give in for an exchange, but in the end he will always get the most benefits. He just has the ability to find the optimal solution in the fastest time.

This is an overly terrifying opponent, like a prophet who can see the direction and ending of everything in advance, whoever confronts him is destined to be frightened.

Xie Yan even thought about giving up, but immediately gave up.

Dayu has always been wary of the vassal kings, just like he was to the military generals, he cut the power of the vassal kings again and again. By the time of the first emperor, the vassal kings in various places had no power at all, except for being able to wear royal clothes in the local area in the name of the royal family. Living on food and land, nothing else, in the eyes of the court, probably wishing that the vassal kings are brainless, self-willed and depraved waste.

There is only one emperor, and only one person can sit on it. The rest of the people will become such "trash". After every emperor ascends the throne, there are some people who are not reconciled. They are both royal blood, and they were only one step away from the peak of power. Why is it that only that person can sit on the dragon chair?

The broken country is Xie Tang's responsibility. You see, this is the good emperor chosen by everyone. He destroyed the foundation of the ancestors. Isn't he better than Xie Tang?

There was still the voice of the staff talking in the ear, Xie Yan took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and said in a deep voice: "So did you discuss anything?"

The staff members looked at each other for a while, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Why don't we send Xu Zishen another letter. Now that he has been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield, he might reconsider our suggestion."

Xie Yan was silent, and said: "Go and write."

The staff immediately ordered people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, quickly finished writing the letter, and after showing it to Xie Yan, sent someone to send it to Hengchuan, and must deliver it to Xu Zishen himself.

I thought that Xu Zishen would think about it for a few days, and Xie Yan was ready to wait quietly. Unexpectedly, on the day the letter was delivered, Xu Zishen replied, with only one word: get out.

This time, Xie Nian was really out of temper. He broke a lot of things in the house. Xie Ruzhuo was shameless, and Xu Zishen did the same. He never thought that he would be alone and helpless. He has been working in Ningya for many years , He wants soldiers and money, to put it bluntly, both Xie Ruzhuo and Xu Zishen should rush to form an alliance with him, but they never expected to meet two lunatics who were more arrogant than the other.

"My lord, calm down." The staff advised, "Actually, it is understandable for Xu Zishen not to form an alliance with the lord. After all, he has betrayed the Xie family, and any further connection with the royal family surnamed Xie is tantamount to slapping himself in the face. He is breaking the boat. One way, he and the Xie family can only live as one."

These words are indeed reasonable, but Xie Yan still couldn't hide his anger, and said annoyedly: "Yue Tingchuan is about to break through Chenzhou, what should we do now?"

Most of the aides in King Yan's mansion are people who failed the imperial examinations. King Yan is kind to them, so they naturally try their best to make suggestions, but it's hard to say how much resourcefulness they have. Scholars have never seen much of the world, in fact, they are already panicked, and it is easy to come up with some crazy strategies when they panic.

One of them said sternly, "Since Xu Zishen won't eat the fine wine when toasting, why don't we show him some color."

Xie Yan frowned, looked at him and said, "What do you want to do?"

"This time the imperial court is coming so fiercely, Ning Ya will probably not be able to keep it. We might as well leave the southwest. We still have a lot of soldiers and horses. It's okay to keep half of them to defend." The staff smiled and said in a low voice, "The remaining Half of it... let's go to Jiangbei."

"Jiangbei?" Xie Yan was taken aback, "This is where Xu Zishen raised his troops, and the money and power behind him all come from Jiangbei. Are we going to touch Jiangbei?"

"Because Jiangbei is important, we are going to touch it." The more the staff thought about it, the more they felt that this was an excellent strategy. The soldiers were dangerous but went straight to Huanglong, and their voice became lighter, "Huaixi is actually very close to us, we As long as Xu Zishen invades Huaixi, Xu Zishen will be in a panic, and their Dazhao court will also be in chaos. And Xu Zishen himself is still restrained by Shen Ci in Hengchuan, and Jiangbei does not have the brave Jiangbei army. How can he stop it? As for For the latter, the prince should know what to do."

Xie Yan's eyes also shone brightly. It's just like this. Everyone knows how important Jiangbei is to Xu Zishen and Dazhao. As long as they enter Jiangbei, they will have a chance to negotiate terms with Xu Zishen, who has no skills. With Xu Zishen as an ally at that time, what court would they be afraid of?

"Very good." Xie Yan also laughed, "Go, recuperate, we will go to Jiangbei as guests tonight."

The author has something to say: Yan Wang: After living more than 100 chapters in the lines, there is finally a shot.

Mother: Then it’s almost time to wrap up.
