Chapter 318: The Wind Rises
Under the powerful pressure of Qi Jiguang's army, Quanzhou quickly regained calm, and the riot of exterminating the Heroes Pavilion was also quelled. Coupled with the full cooperation of the NPCs, if many people hadn't seen the fight that night with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Quanzhou would have changed hands like this.
The Quanzhou incident, like a domino, brought about a completely chain effect. The forces of all parties rose up when they heard the news, and the grandson Zhu Yunwen, the king of Yan, Zhu Di, and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, all had different reactions.
Zhu Yunwen was already tormented by Ao Xiaofeng's defection. His own uncles are eyeing the power. If you want to contend with the princes who hold the military and political power, the princes on each side, a simple military confrontation will not work, and the biggest reliance is still the internal response and eyeliner that Jinyiwei has placed around the princes for so many years. As long as they cooperate, Zhu Yunwen's chances of winning will be greatly increased. However, if they are dug up, Zhu Yunwen will be tantamount to losing his right-hand man.
"Proposed purpose, grant Wu Xiaotang the title of lieutenant of the light car, and transfer ten masters from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to accompany him!" After reading the battle report sent by Tang Yi, Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment and gave Wu Xiaotang a big gift.
However, Zhu Di of Shanhaiguan was not interested in paying attention to this issue, he was holding a secret meeting with the commander of the Qingyang Empire, intending that the two sides could reach a consensus that during Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Qingyang Empire would be able to hold its troops on the border and allow himself time to deal with some things that needed to be dealt with.
Zhu Di didn't care about this, but his advisers were very concerned. Yao Guangxiao has always regarded Wu Ruotang as a big trouble, and Ximen Thorn, who fled back with great difficulty, Ao Xiaofeng and others also gritted their teeth against Wu Ruotang. Therefore, it is natural to admonish in front of Zhu Di.
After being pestered by Yao Guangxiao for a long time, Zhu Di finally agreed to Yao Guangxiao's request and asked Simon to represent himself to contact the anti-Wu forces, strive to destroy Wu Xiaotang and cut off Zhu Yunwen's foreign aid.
Ximen Thorn was chased and killed all the way by the masters of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and finally escaped by jumping into the river. The body is scarred. Almost hung up. All this is due to Wu Xiaotang, and he naturally wants to avenge this revenge.
"After you go, focus on contacting the Iron Banner Gang. I believe that the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang must also be dissatisfied with Wu Xiaotang's growth. You can ask the people of the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang to come forward, organize the forces against Wu Xiaotang, and unite to recruit him. As long as you are willing to attack Wu Xiaotang, you can vouch in the name of King Yan. Successfully eliminated Wu Xiaotang, in terms of meritorious deeds, no one is indispensable! Before Simon set off, Yao Guangxiao told him.
"Understood, by the way, Mr. Yao, the prince said last time that I would be knighted, it's been so long, what!" Ximen Thorn looked at Yao Guangxiao and said cautiously.
Hear the word knighthood. Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly. Zhu Di does have this promise, but according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor and the crown prince are qualified to give people knighthoods, and King Yan is only a vassal king, and he is not qualified or has the right to give people knighthoods. Even if it is sealed, it is not right, and it is not good. No one will admit it, the reason why Zhu Di made this promise is actually to warn the people around him euphemistically. own ambition and **. Moreover, even if you are knighted in the future, you are the biggest hero, how can it be your turn to be a killer-born guy to grab the headlines?
"The prince naturally knows this in his heart. Let's stop speculating here! Yao Guangxiao said lightly.
"Yes, I understand, I just hope that Mr. can say a lot of kind words for me in front of the prince!" Ximen saw that Yao Guangxiao's face was not good, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he left in a hurry.
Yao Guangxiao played with the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at the back of Ximen Thorn. Laughing and pacing back and forth.
In the Tiance Mansion of the Tang Fei Empire, Li Shimin and a group of strategists were looking at the map with grim expressions.
"Lord Wang, it will take a few days for Hou Junji's army to join forces with General Qin. But right now, the Iron and Blood Army Banner Gang is also recruiting troops and expanding their strength. And they haven't shown much ambition yet, except for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's young marshal army, they basically have no contradictions and conflicts with the other anti-kings in Sui Wen's territory, and in a short period of time, no one will fight with them! Eldest Sun Wuji reported according to the information he had.
Li Shimin nodded silently, these days, his situation can be said to be extremely difficult. Above the court, the prince and the people of King Qi kept attacking him, and his father's confidence in himself was gradually dissipating. The aura of victory in a hundred battles has now become the biggest lever for others to attack and ridicule.
"If Qin Shubao's army is replenished, can it defeat the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang in one fell swoop?" Li Shimin pointed to the geographical location of the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang on the map and asked.
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. This Iron Blood Banner Gang is highly disciplined and regards death as home! When the war began, no one retreated. It's a fast and extremely hard bone to gnaw. Otherwise, with such a perfect combination of Qin Shubao and Li Jing, there would not be no progress in attacking for dozens of days! Fang Xuanling on the side sighed.
Du Ruhui nodded, and also spoke: "We have tried to contact the rebel forces within Sui Wen. I want to support one side of the forces and fight us inside and outside. But unfortunately, no one wants to do this, even if there are those who are willing to do it, the asking price is too high, it is completely a lion's mouth! ”
Fang Mou Du decided, these two people are Li Shimin's right-hand men in strategy, he both said so, and Li Shimin also knew that the possibility of defeating the opponent by increasing troops was too low.
"Lord Wang, other forces can't be used, we think we can make a fuss about this young marshal army!" The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it, and felt that the only one who could be used seemed to be Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's young marshal.
"This Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have some misunderstandings with me, I'm afraid they won't help me with this!" Li Shimin shook his head again and again.
"Don't be afraid of misunderstandings, interests are eternal. This young marshal army and the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang are constantly in small friction. Moreover, the young marshal army has the support of the Song valve, and the development potential is very huge. If we can support them a little more, even if they can't defeat the Iron Blood Banner Gang, at least they can help us contain the main force of the Iron Blood Army Banner Gang, and when the time comes, we will concentrate our army and attack a little bit of it. Wouldn't the odds be greater? Eldest Sun Wuji said excitedly.
The military generals in the Tiance Mansion all agreed with the suggestion of the eldest grandson Wuji and felt that they could try it. After all, it is impossible for the army to always spend so much in Sui Wen, and if you don't come up with some achievements, you really can't explain it.
Li Shimin actually thought of this method a long time ago, but he had his scruples. The Iron-Blooded Army Banner Gang is a hungry wolf, and the Young Marshal Army is not a fierce tiger, driving wolves and chasing tigers, but in the end, it still sets up a new enemy? (To be continued.) )
