At this time, Ji Kang, who was kneeling beside Ji Tong, said:

"Yongxing Marquis, the matter of the alliance is related to the rise and fall of the world, the Son of Heaven hopes that the Xianguo can put the safety of the world first, and the princes will give up their past suspicions, work together to fight against the traitors, and seek the welfare of the people and end the war early."

"It's not that Ben Hou refutes the face of the young marquis, anyone will say beautiful words, the battlefield battle is to kill people, if it is not to protect the family and defend the land, who will not send troops for the benefit of the land. The land of the three counties of the Liang State wants to swallow the three counties of the Sun Kingdom. The land of the seven counties of my Xianguo country, whether it is fair to swallow the seven counties. The young marquis is still young, don't talk about things you don't understand. ”

Bai Liyan didn't give any affection because of her special relationship with Ji Kang, the atmosphere became extremely dull for a while, Ji Tong didn't achieve his goal, he wanted to leave but was unwilling. After being silent for a long time, he said again:

"Young Master Yan, there is really no room for the alliance?"

"The Jin State will return the money and land, and the Liang State will guarantee that the vassal states will cede the seven counties of the Sun State to my king, and you can consider the alliance, otherwise everything will not be discussed."

Ji Tong didn't say anything, stood up and gave a slight salute:

"That Benhou has taken his leave, Kang'er, Yi'er, let's go!"

Ji Kang and Li Yi got up and saluted politely, turned around and left with Ji Tong, and Bailiyan didn't send it. After the three of them left, Zhao Anling walked out of the side hall of the inner hall:

"Master Hou, this eldest grandson's combat power is unbearable, and his ambitions are really not small."

"Hmph, embarrassed! It is disgusting that the dignified state has also done such dirty deeds! ”

"At the moment, it seems that we have to do it as soon as possible, and my subordinates think that after the arrival of the eldest grandson's naval army, the Jin Kingdom will soon have a move."

"Well, what Mr. Zhao said is exactly what Benhou is worried about, how is Gongsun Yue prepared?"

"Brother Zong is arranging with the Soviet Army, and he will be able to send an envoy soon."

"It must be carefully arranged, if there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Master Hou rest assured, with the arrangement of the royal guest, most of this matter will not be lost."

When Gongsun Yue went to the area controlled by the Black Turban Army, he still needed the arrangement and intelligence support of the royal guests, otherwise he would not be able to reach the core area at all.

At the beginning of the Black Turban Army riot in the early years, many royal guests defected to the Black Turban Army, which caused a lot of losses to the royal guests at that time. In everything except in the south, the attitude of the royal guest is relatively relaxed, including rebellions and mutinies in various places, and the royal guest rarely interferes.

The reason why Yuke did not intervene at the beginning, from the perspective of Su Fangyi's attitude, one is the convention, Yuke is a paramilitary force, and all countries tolerate its existence because of the northern invasion of the Jinxuedi people, and all countries have no intention of investing troops in the south, and they are powerless, each of them cares about fighting for hegemony, and Yuke also has room for survival.

If the royal guests are involved in the disputes in the Central Plains, their neutrality will not be trusted by the world, and the wandering armed forces of hundreds of thousands of people will be feared by all countries.

The second is that they did not foresee that the harm of black scarves would be so great, and the Yuke headquarters did not expect it. The third is that there are royal guests involved, and interference will become cannibalism.

Fourth, the dispute between sects should not rise to a bloody massacre, once a precedent is set, other sects will retaliate in the future, which will also be bloody, so the sons of the hundred schools of thought have their own rules and regulations, and there are very few cases of fighting each other.

The fifth is that the situation was unknown at the beginning of the outbreak of the Black Turban Army, and later there were warning signals in the south, and the attention of the royal guests gradually turned to the south.

The number of royal guests who have taken refuge in the Black Turban has been insignificant for more than ten years, and the structure of the personnel has undergone fundamental changes, and they have been increasingly marginalized by the high-level leaders of the Black Turban County.

Through these secure online channels, Gongsun Yue will go to the stronghold of the Xiong Tan Taoist sect or lobby key people he knows.

In the next few days, Ji Tong continued to go to Gao Xun, Ding Yang Marquis and other cabinet officials to lobby, and at the same time, rumors spread in the city of Chenling, the attitude that King Xian would not ally and did not intend to take back Jiangdong Dongjun was instigated by a group of Xiaoxiao, which caused violent fluctuations in public opinion, and once there was a remark that King Xian abdicated to make way for Xian and the prince ascended the throne.

At the same time, Bailiyan also found that when people's material life has improved greatly and the society is relatively fair, the lack of personal spiritual world will inevitably become empty, and there are more and more people who have nothing to do and panic, because of the increase in productivity, the crisis of survival and the oppression of survival are reduced, and they have more time to talk about things other than livelihood.

More than 10 years ago, the Xian army was defeated and ceded land and paid reparations, and the small people in the market who were struggling on the verge of starvation rarely talked about state affairs, and the defeat still remained between the aristocracy and the ruling class.

Now these well-fed ordinary people are no longer satisfied with the material life, and have begun to pursue the spiritual needs in reality, and at the moment when the spiritual life is scarce, religion or politics are the main consumer goods of the spiritual life.

This is an unusual signal, both on the negative side and on the positive side, overall, after more than a decade of promotion and development, the literacy rate in the capital region has been slowly increasing, and society is on the verge of full enlightenment, and a new wave of ideas is rapidly incubating.

However, it is necessary to actively and correctly guide it and make it a political resource that can be used, and Bai Liyan began to consider setting up a government-run news organization to control the trend of public opinion. Then two sets of large-scale movable type copper plates and craftsmen were urgently dispatched from Yongxing City, and 50,000 sheets of large paper were used for backup.

On the twenty-second day of April, the envoy of the king of Changsun arrived at the Yunjie, and met the king of Jin to forward the book of the kingdom of the eldest grandson, and when the envoy of the eldest grandson retreated, the king of Jin said proudly:

"Fan Xiangguo, how is the situation in the city of Chenling?"

"Qi my king, up to the dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, all talk about the incompetence and cowardice of King Xian, His Royal Highness Xihuan's strategy is really clever."

"Hehaha...... Although my Wang Mei Tao is not as good as you, in terms of scheming and means, I am not inferior to you and other men. ”

"What the king said is extremely true, if the princess can attract the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty without concealing it, Bailiyan wants to suppress it, and she can't suppress the hundreds of thousands of mouths in the city of Chenling."

"This concubine is bad for my Jin country's plan, and the widow will break it into pieces sooner or later!"

The king of Jin hated Baili Yan to the bone, and he hated to crush his bones and shatter his corpse to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Fan Xiang, how is the situation in Yongxing City?"

"There are only more than 10,000 defenders, tens of thousands of craftsmen and female workers among the people, and tens of thousands of people from the Ligong faction who have taken refuge in Xianguo and live in the city, which will be a big trouble in the future."

"Drive them away, the widow doesn't want to have anything to do with them."

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

"What's wrong, how can the widowed Yongxing City allow these greedy people to steal from this."

"The king, the Ligong faction is a famous family in the world, and has a great relationship with Liang Guo and the royal guest, and Bailiyan is a guest of the royal guest, and the disposal of the Ligong faction should be expelled by mitigation means, and the strong fear of the royal guest should be suppressed."

"Hmph, the royal guest is like a lost dog, why be afraid."

King Jin was disdainful, and Fan Tao advised:

"King, although the royal guest is greatly injured, it has not been wiped out, and my Jin country should not be the enemy of the royal guest. In addition, we should also beware of Bailiyan moving to invite Yuke to interfere in Yongxing City, which will ruin my plan. ”

"Yuke is far away in Xu State, all the northern lands of Xu Kingdom have fallen, no matter how fast it is, it will take a month and a half to arrive, come and go for at least three months, and when the widows occupy Yongxing City, Yuke can still interfere with the princes."

"Even so, at the moment, I am afraid that Bai Liyan has been sent to the Yuke General Hall, and if the Yuke interferes with the Alliance, things will become tricky. Therefore, the minister suggested that after the Changsun army landed in Yongxing, our army should immediately approach the tomb and force the king of Xian to submit, if not, he could bombard Yongxing City first to put pressure on him. ”

"Okay, herald Ji Qing, Wang Jia moved to two miles outside the north gate of Chenling, so that King Xian can have a good look at the appearance of our army!"

"No!"

……

Two days later, in the early morning of the twenty-fourth day of April, 2,670,000 Jin and Song troops approached Qiling, and at the same time, the naval division of the Changsun army arrived at the ten-mile river section north of Yongxing City. Bao Ning, the master of the right door, panicked and found Cheng Jiyuan, who was testing the car:

"Brother Jiyuan, Brother Jiyuan......"

"Brother Bao, why is he so in a hurry?" Cheng Jiyuan put down his work and asked.

"You don't know yet, the eldest grandson's navy is already ten miles away, and it looks like the posture is going to enter the city. I heard that the Changsun Army is all live bandits, it's not good to suppress bandits, and it's very tight to burn, kill, and loot, this alliance won't be in Yongxing City! ”

"This can't be, why don't Su Fangyi and Yongxing Hou know. Let's go, go find Su Fangyi. ”

Su Fangyi was at the head of the North Gate City with Zong Botai at this time, and the Changsun Navy was less than six miles away from Yongxing City. Bao Ning and Cheng Jiyuan hurriedly looked for them, and seeing that both of them were there, Cheng Jiyuan hurriedly asked Su Fangyi:

"Mr. Su, the eldest grandson Shuijun is here, can Mr. know the news in advance?"

"I don't know, I thought I was going to go ashore in Zhuankou, but I didn't know that it would go south to Yongxing." Su Fangyi said against his will, but he didn't tell a lie.

Zhuankou is not far north of Yongxing, and the navy will be able to arrive overnight soon, and in terms of proximity, it will definitely land in Zhuankou. However, the Changsun army obviously would not inform the Xian State of its military intentions, and since the Jin State wanted to plot Yongxing City, it was completely foreseeable that the Changsun Water Army would go straight to Yongxing City.

Of course, whether Su Fangyi believes or not, whether he believes it or not, varies from person to person.

At this time, Bao Ning said:

"Mr. Su, Mr. Zongbo, don't you know anything about Yongxing?"

"Master Hou really doesn't know that the eldest grandson's navy is going to go ashore in Yongxing." Zong Botai said, and continued to comfort Bao Ning: "I have ordered someone to inform Hou Ye of the news, presumably there should be news in the afternoon." ”

"But what to do now, I see that the eldest grandson's water army is about to arrive!"

"Please also rest assured that Yongxing City is an important place in my Xianguo, and we will definitely not let foreign troops enter the city."

Zong Botai swore that he was true, but Bao Ning was still relieved, and pulled Cheng Jiyuan to no one and said:

"Brother Jiyuan, why do I think the situation is wrong?"

"Isn't that right? What's wrong? Cheng Jiyuan asked

"Do you think, this alliance has nothing to do with Xianguo, and the eldest grandson country came suddenly, and he went straight to Yongxing City, don't you feel strange?"

There is some truth to this. It is said that the King of Jin forced the King of Xian to meet the alliance, but the King of Xian did not comply, so he didn't want to do it. ”

"Hey, I'm worried, too. So many belongings in Yongxing City are all good things, if they are destroyed by fire, they will really be all over. ”

Bao Ning didn't realize that it was a trap set by Bailiyan and Yuke at this time.
