Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 591
[Chapter 591]
“I’m tired, let’s go back and rest, and you can discuss the rest with King Yan.” Zhao Heng stretched out his hand, and Liang Cheng immediately helped him up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Liu Fu, Chang Wei, Zhu Tuo and other fief officials all beamed with joy.
Although Yang Feng and Mi Yan were not as excited as they were, they also felt that it was a matter of course.
King Yan has done his best to keep the emperor who tried to send him to Beidi as a proton to maintain his dignity.
Moreover, they also did not want Zhao Heng to interfere in Yanzhou’s affairs.
In their view, King Yan’s ability to drive Beidi out of the Ningjin capital since King Yan came to Yanzhou until today has fully proved King Yan’s ability.
As Zhao Heng said, in the ensuing chaos, only King Yan can turn the tide.
They must absolutely obey King Yan’s orders.
When Zhao Heng’s figure disappeared, Zhao Xu asked the ministers to disperse, leaving only Yang Feng, Mi Yan, Liu Fu and Chang Wei.
Since the rest are our own people, there is no need to keep so many people to discuss government affairs.
After all, there are a lot of people with mixed mouths. Although these ministers are loyal to him, they still have people’s hearts behind them, so we still have to be careful with them.
Confidential matters should be discussed with core subordinates.
“Your Highness just said that we should act first, is this going to attack the Han family?” Yang Feng said.
The north of Yanzhou is the northeast, the east is the sea, and the west is Jinzhou and Sizhou. The only remaining side is also the weakest defense side of Yanzhou, facing Qizhou of the Han family.
There is no doubt that the state of Qi established by the Han family poses the greatest threat to Yanzhou.
Zhao Xu nodded, “Yes, but before attacking Qi, there are still two things to do, one is the sixth prince of Jinzhou, and the other is the Ma family of Sizhou.”
He and Chang Wei have already discussed this matter , but he hasn’t told Yang Feng and Mi Yan yet.
Mi Yan nodded slightly. When he was in the capital, he could only know about Zhao Xu from rumors.
After coming to Yanzhou, through this period of getting along with him, he realized more and more that his nephew was able to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, and it was definitely not luck.
For example, the decision he made this time was exactly what Yang Feng had discussed carefully with him before coming.
The result was the same as the decision made by King Yan.
The sixth prince sits in Jinzhong, while his uncle Yuan Li is currently in Qi.
If Yanzhou’s army goes south, the Sixth Prince will inevitably echo Qi from north to south.
Although the Sixth Prince’s army is nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
However, if he adopts some insidious methods like the North Pole, he will still pose a considerable threat to Yanzhou.
Therefore, the sixth prince must not be given the opportunity to wreak havoc in Yanzhou.
As for Ma’s Sizhou, the location is very important.
Since the last time the imperial court negotiated peace with Beidi, the Dou family has benefited a lot from the border market with Beidi.
If we can attack the border market, we will be able to contain Nanliang and Beidi at the same time.
More importantly, when I went to the Royal Courtyard today, a businessman from Nanliang brought very important news.
A few days ago, a Beidi cavalry escorted their envoys to Xiangcheng, and then news of the alliance between Nanliang and Beidi spread.
It is said that Nanliang and Beidi have made an agreement with Beidi to govern the country as brothers.
If Nanliang is attacked, Beidi is obliged to send troops to assist the Nanliang army in resisting the enemy’s attack.
Similarly, if Beidi is attacked by the enemy, Nanliang is also obliged to help Beidi.
Moreover, if necessary, both sides can send their own troops to the other’s territory to assist the other in fighting.
This incident not only shocked them, but also other powerful clans soon.
In order to compete for the world, Nan Liang has apparently fallen into madness, and he did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house and cooperate with Da Song’s mortal enemy.
But although they hate Dou Wei, they have to admire Dou Wei’s courage.
The former Chancellor of Great Praise is indeed sophisticated.
Beidi is a man-eating tiger. If Beidi was in its heyday, Dou Wei would definitely not dare to make such an alliance with Beidi.
But not long ago, Beidi suffered a serious injury at the hands of King Yan and turned into a wounded tiger.
This tiger is not so scary.
And in order to be able to heal his injuries with peace of mind, and at the same time contain and weaken King Yan, Beidi Huicheng West cooperated with Nanliang.
Mu Lehong really wouldn’t be so stupid as to start a war with Nanliang before destroying King Yan.
So at this time, the position of the Ma family is very important. Outside Qinguan is the former territory of Dasong, Qinzhou and Yongzhou.
This area is also the passage for Beidi to enter Nanliang.
As long as they can control this place here, they can destroy the cooperation between Nanliang and Beidi.
And to do this, it is necessary to ensure that the Ma family and them are truly of one mind.
“How does His Highness plan to deal with the sixth prince and Ma Han?” Mi Yan asked.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Xu said: “Take gentle measures with Ma Han. This king is going to let him come to Yancheng to test his attitude. If his Ma family is at the top of both ends, this king can support his Ma family. It can also destroy his Ma family.” After a
pause, he continued: “As for the sixth prince, this king is going to let the emperor issue an imperial decree to let him go to Yancheng.”
“The sixth prince hates and fears this king. I will resist the decree and not obey it, so this king can take the opportunity to take it down.”
“Wonderful.” The
four nodded upon hearing this, and this is the best way at present.
After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu ordered Chang Wei to go to the three southern counties to prepare for going south to Qi.
Let Liu Fu lead Mi Yan to familiarize himself with the government office, and at the same time go to the government affairs school to study for a while, so as to familiarize himself with Yanzhou’s government affairs management methods.
After that, he went to the Ning Jindu Division and was in charge of the government affairs there.
As for Yang Feng.
Zhao Xu has no plan to assign him a position in the court.
This is his own request, and this veteran is really old, and it is indeed not suitable to go out to fight again.
Even if I learn the tactics of the new firearms army now, I can’t keep up with the young generals.
Therefore, just let him stay in the court to play soy sauce and be a consultant.
next day.
Two teams of cavalry set off from Yancheng, and each took the imperial decree to Jinzhou and Sizhou.
With a difference of one or two days, the imperial decree reached the hands of the sixth prince and Ma Han respectively.
Jincheng.
The sixth prince swept the imperial decree up and down, then threw it on the ground.
With deep hatred in his eyes, he pointed in the direction of Yancheng and said, “Hey, the world is in chaos now, and each is king. This imperial decree is nothing. It’s that easy.”
Looking at the imperial decree, he stepped on it again.
“Your Highness, please calm down. This means that King Yan is in a hurry to go to the doctor. Seeing the establishment of the Han family, he panicked and wanted to annex Jinzhou to expand his own strength. However, he wanted to take Jinzhou with just one imperial decree. It’s too simple.” A middle-aged official next to the sixth prince said.
He is Yuan Hang, the minister of officials in the court.
Because of Yuan Li’s attack on Yanguan, he was imprisoned together with the sixth prince.
Later, the clan decided to let him go to Jinzhou, and he came with the sixth prince.
Hearing this, the sixth prince showed a grim smile.
He said: “My uncle wrote to say that Dongying is powerful, and the ten kings of Yan are not his opponents. The Han family has established a country, and Dongying has formally formed an alliance with Qi. Its intimacy is even better than that of Nanliang and Beidi. Now, King Yan I’m really going to die and I can’t die anymore.”
