Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 346

[Chapter 346 Fainted]

Yancheng.

On the fourth day after Chang Wei got the news, Tsui Hark sent the news that Ma Jin had voted for Xiliang to Zhao Xu.

“Your Highness, the news about Beidi’s dispatch of troops is probably false, but there is no guarantee that Xiliang will invite Beidi to send troops if the war is unfavorable. After all, Xiliang will never allow Da Song to take back these two prefectures.” Xu Ke analyzed it.

Before Chang Wei set off, this worst-case scenario flashed through his mind.

After all, there are too many such things in contemporary history.

During the Five Dynasties, Shi Jingtang gave the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Khitan, and used Khitan soldiers to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

After the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Bangchang, the favorite minister of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was established as the emperor of Great Chu by the Jin State and established the “Pseudo-Chu”.

Even closer, Wu Sangui surrendered to Shanhaiguan.

In his view, in troubled times, the lower limit of human beings is very low.

The lower limit for villains like Ma Jin is even lower.

It’s just that even though he thought of this, he couldn’t do anything about it.

After all, Xiliang is beyond Xiaoguan of the Ma family.

It only took a few days for Ma Jin to join the enemy.

“That’s right, Xiliang has just lost Jinzhou, and I hate Da Song deeply.” Zhao Xu said, “Now we can only let Chang Wei withdraw from Qinzhou and help the Ma family guard Qinguan.”

“Fortunately, there is a Qin Close, otherwise Xiliang can drive straight in.” Tsui Hark said.

In the past, he didn’t know Dasong’s country and geography very well.

But since taking over Yanwei and now becoming the head of the Fourth Academy, he must know everything about Da Song thoroughly, so that he can provide King Yan with accurate information.

Zhao Xu nodded, then looked at a map on the east wall.

This map was drawn by himself, and it is Dasong’s geographical map of mountains and rivers.

The location of Qinzhou is actually the birthplace of the contemporary Great Qin, the Guanzhong Plain.

Qinguan is the contemporary Tongguan, and Luoyang can be reached by crossing Tongguan, which belongs to Henan in contemporary times.

Dasong is divided into Sizhou and Yuzhou.

Among them, the area of Sizhou is only half of that of Yuzhou.

Yongzhou is located in the west of Jinzhou, north of Qinzhou, and inside the shape of the Yellow River, which is equivalent to the contemporary northern Shaanxi and Ningxia areas.

This is where the Majia Sanzhou is located.

So as long as Qinguan is guarded, Xiliang will still not be able to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

However, in this way, Yizhou was exposed to Xiliang’s troops.

But Yizhou has always been easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not so easy to attack.

“I didn’t expect Dasong Northwest to become like this.” Zhao Xu sighed.

He had to let Chang Wei withdraw his troops, and Xiao Guan fell into the hands of Xi Liang.

Xiliang can enter Qinzhou on a large scale. If Beidi also joins in at that time, Qinzhou will become a real meat grinder.

And it’s a meat grinder that bleeds for a long time.

His family can’t stand such a toss.

Even Da Song cannot afford such consumption.

Retreating and defending according to Qin Pass is the only correct choice.

“In the eyes of the officials, this is actually not surprising at all. Sooner or later, there will be such a big disturbance in Northern Xinjiang. Just take Yanzhou as an example. If it weren’t for His Highness, Beidi would have won Yanzhou long ago. Maybe now Dasong is already raging. ” Seeing that King Yan’s expression was a bit gloomy, Xu Ke persuaded him.

Zhao Xu gave a wry smile, he understood what Tsui Hark meant.

What he wanted to say was that Da Song was corrupt at the moment, and it was not surprising what happened.

This coincided with his thinking.

Dasong seems to be a dynasty that is about to come to an end.

If it hadn’t been for his arrival, maybe Dasong would be replaced by Beidi just like the end of Ming Dynasty.

“Besides, I feel that this is not necessarily a bad thing.” Tsui Hark continued.

Zhao Xu glanced at Xu Ke in surprise, “Oh? Tell me about it.”

“As the saying goes, open an umbrella when it rains, and put it away when it’s sunny. Naturally, the more the emperor needs His Highness, the better. This Ma Jin voted for Xiliang, Northwest The situation is even worse, and the emperor can only continue to rely on His Highness to maintain the stability of the frontier.” Xu Ke said slowly, “At that time, His Highness will sit firmly in Yanzhou, so he will be safe.”

After thinking for a while, he continued: “And , Ma Jin voted for Xiliang, the most feared would be the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is friendly with the Dou family, which is equivalent to restraining the Dou family and the Xiao family at the same time.

” The more profound it is.” Zhao Xu said to Xu Hark.

He still remembered the first time he met Tsui Hark, Tsui Hark was still a simple hunter’s son.

Now he seems to be much more mature than before, a little mature.

However, as the head of the Fourth Court, he had to make such a change.

Otherwise, one of his mistakes will lead to the death of many members of the Fourth Academy.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment.” Tsui Hark bowed.

Zhao Xu glanced at him again, “My lord understands what you mean, you continue to stare at Xiliang and Beidi, and report back to this lord in time if there is any disturbance.

” .

Although Ma Jin’s defection to the enemy came a bit suddenly, but since it happened, he had to face it.

Although Tsui Hark’s words were full of conspiracy, they were not without reason.

Although the chaos this time is big, it has disadvantages and advantages.

To his advantage, Zhao Heng will rely more on him. After all, if the situation continues to deteriorate, Da Song will be really in danger.

Secondly, the Xiao family and the Dou family, their good days of hiding behind the Ma family and plotting tricks are over.

In order to resist possible attacks, they will beg him to buy artillery.

There is also the Ma family. There is only one Ma family left in Sizhou who can only follow him closely and keep this last piece of land.

The downside is how Zhao Heng will deal with the Ma family’s betrayal next.

It is not yet known whether to send troops to take it back like Jinzhou, or to admit the reality like Ning Jindusi.

Another bad thing is that the sphere of influence of Xiliang and Beidi extends to the hinterland of Dasong again, and Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the origins of the contemporary Daqin.

And their strength has increased again.

With this in mind, he sent people to Qinzhou and asked Chang Wei to retreat to Qinguan.

He didn’t want his troops to be trapped in Qinzhou.

In the last battle of Jinzhou, Beidi was careless. Having learned the lesson from last time, Beidi will definitely not give him another chance to get Qinzhou and Yongzhou back this time.

In his opinion, it is impossible for Qinzhou and Yongzhou to get back without gathering all the forces of Dasong to fight together.

Thinking of this, he decided to rush the news to Jinling eight hundred miles to see how the court reacted.

Five days later.

His notebook was in Zhao Heng’s hands.

At this time, Zhao Heng was drawing a picture. After reading the contents of the booklet, he stroked the pen heavily on the rice paper, drawing the beauty’s eyebrows onto his face.

Liang Cheng said “Oops”, but looking at Zhao Heng, he saw that Zhao Heng’s face was pale, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

He was about to say something when Zhao Heng staggered and fell to the ground.

Liang Cheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted: “Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!”

While speaking, he picked up the memorial, looked at it, and cursed: “No one of these powerful families can worry.”

Then He looked like he was about to cry, “Your majesty, nothing is wrong with you!”
