After Cheng Yao negotiated with Zhang Jun, he immediately moved to prepare to return to Yecheng, and Zhang Jun did not come to see them off in person, but just sent his eldest son Zhang Zuo to quietly send them out. It's not that Zhang Jun doesn't give Cheng Yao face, it's really that they are scared by the elusive investigation methods of the Supervision Department of the Ming Kingdom.

Cheng Yao didn't care, said goodbye to Zhang Zuo and boarded the carriage, and glanced back at Jiuquan, the new capital of the Great Liang Kingdom, his face was full of disdain. Da Zhao is obviously going to pit the Great Liang Kingdom again, and the price paid is only a divine stone plus a proton, of course, they also agreed on how to divide the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Da Zhao wants Si Lizhou, Dai Guo wants to merge the state, Da Liang Guo wants Qinzhou and Yongzhou, Dayan State wants Youzhou, and Da Jin wants Yangzhou. Just looking at this distribution, you can know how unreliable it is, how could Da Zhao pay the two pieces of land in Youzhou and Yangzhou in exchange for half of Sili Prefecture? They are not engaged in charity. Cheng Yao said this just to completely pull Zhang Jun into the chariot.

And Zhang Jun is not an idiot, how could he not see that the Great Zhao State would never give him both Qinzhou and Yongzhou. But Cheng Yao is right about one thing, Daming has to let Qianliang pay tribute every year, and sooner or later drain Daliang Country, it is better to fight with Daming.

In addition, Zhang Jun also has the original Qiang allies and the current Xianbei allies, and he feels that if Da Zhao and Da Zhao start to contain the Da Ming Kingdom, then they will not have no chance of winning. Zhang Jun dreamed of taking back the several counties in Liangzhou that were occupied by Chu Yun, after all, the Hexi Corridor was the foundation of their Zhang family.

What makes Zhang Jun most excited is the Divine Stone, as the leader of a big force, how could he not know what the Divine Stone is, but unfortunately, he didn't have it, and I don't know if God doesn't favor them, ninety-nine eighty-one Divine Stones, basically all fell in the territory of Da Zhao and Da Jin.

Therefore, Zhang Jun coveted a divine stone that could make him a superman, and he had already decided to fight with Daming, millions of loads of grain and tens of thousands of war horses a year, so that Qian Liang couldn't bear it at all. In addition, Cheng Yao also brought protons, full of sincerity, Zhang Jun easily agreed.

How could Da Zhao make a contribution to make Da Liangguo cheap, Da Zhao wanted Da Liangguo to make a move first, to contain Da Ming's attention, and then suddenly send someone to attack Da Ming, so that Da Ming would lose sight of one or the other. Da Zhao and Da Liang agreed that in the eleventh year of Shengwu, that is, in April next year, they would always send troops to attack Daming. But Da Zhao wanted to learn the combat methods of the previous Ming Dynasty, and deliberately sent troops a month late, so that Da Ming's attention was on the Western Front, and then sent troops to attack Da Ming by surprise, this is exactly Da Zhao's plan, of course, Da Zhao will not tell Da Liang Guoming.

Of course, Zhang Jun is not a fool, he thinks that he can make this cheap smoothly, because he just thinks so, they also want to send troops about a month late, so that Da Zhao and Da Yan can contain Da Ming's attention, and then take the opportunity to make a profit.

After all, in this era, communication is not developed, no one knows when you sent troops, both sides think they are smart people, and they think that they can let the other party fall into the scheme, but it is likely to really become a joint army, so that Daming falls into passivity, so if Daming really can't detect it, it is really likely to fall into a crisis. After all, the three kingdoms of Daming, Dayan and Daliang combined had a total of 1 million troops and crushed all the troops of Daming. If they really let them implement the plan smoothly, Da Ming will be in danger.

Chang'an City.

Zhou Yan reluctantly stepped down as the head of the Supervision Department, although he became the leader of Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei is a new department, how can it compare to the behemoth of the Supervision Department. The Supervision Department has offices all over the country, and even at the township level, it has special offices with more than 100,000 spies under its command. But it's a pity that all this has nothing to do with Zhou Yan, for the poor performance of the Supervision Department in the last war, which made Chu Yun angry, he had nothing to say, after all, he would be punished if he made a mistake.

Zhou Yan didn't resent Chu Yun, he just wanted to get back on the field, make a great contribution, make up for the mistakes he made, and let the white-eyed wolf see who was the first person to be a spy in the Ming Dynasty. That white-eyed wolf is, of course, Cheng Yang, the new leader of the Supervision Division, who followed Chu Yun to attack Si Lizhou and made a lot of contributions, which also made Chu Yun value.

To be honest, Cheng Yang is also Zhou Yan's cronies, otherwise how could he become the deputy commander of the Supervision Department. But after Cheng Yang came to power, he immediately installed cronies on a large scale, rejected Zhou Yan's descendants, and the relationship with Zhou Yan deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, Cheng Yang also relied on the fact that the Supervision Department was established earlier, and the news he got was more comprehensive, and he repeatedly showed his face in front of Chu Yun and the courtiers, and Zhou Yan's face was beaten.

Zhou Yan actually knew that Cheng Yang was not the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but he had to do it, and the worse the relationship between the two people, the safer it was. After all, which emperor wants his two intelligence departments to wear a pair of pants?

But even so, Zhou Yan was still very unhappy, after all, he was the most trusted person of His Majesty before, and in the entire Ming Dynasty, the power was monstrous, except for a very few people, the vast majority of the rest did not dare to offend him. But now, most of the people who gathered around him to flatter him went to Cheng Yang's side, and it would not be comfortable to change to anyone.

Therefore, Zhou Yan decided to quickly use Jinyiwei to open the situation, so as to gain greater credit and become a celebrity in front of His Majesty again.

Zhou Yan has this self-confidence, first of all, he has been the head of the Supervision Department for nearly ten years, and those descendants are all over the world, and many people have jumped from the Supervision Department to Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei's shelf quickly became up. And Cheng Yang didn't know that Zhou Yan had some extremely secret eyes and ears, and these eyes and ears had a certain influence in the core of power in various countries, and Zhou Yan wanted to rely on them to regain his position.

The Great Liang Kingdom advocates that Jun has a total of three sons, the eldest son is called Zhang Zuo, the eldest son is also called Zhang Chonghua, and the younger son is called Zhang Tianci.

The eldest son Zhang Chonghua became the prince early, and this Zhang Chonghua is also very talented, in the history of this period of Zhang Chonghua's reign, Qianliang reached its peak, at that time Qianliang was strong, defeated the Great Zhao State several times, and the territory also reached the maximum, Qinzhou is the territory of Qianliang, it can be said that it is a very good heir.

But what makes people speechless is that just when Zhang Chonghua reached his peak in the reign of Qianliang, this Zhang Chonghua actually died, only twenty-seven years old, and the reason is unthinkable to ordinary people, it turned out to be his biological mother Queen Ma and his eldest brother Zhang Zuo fornicated in the harem, and Zhang Chonghua persuaded him several times, but his mother died without repentance, so Zhang Chonghua was angry with his mother and eldest brother, which is really a big joke.

After Zhang Chonghua's death, Zhang Zuo rebelled and abolished his nephew as the emperor, and officially called the emperor, you must know that the previous lords of Daliang used the name of the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, although independent, but nominally they were the courtiers of the Great Jin, which also attracted a lot of loyal to the heart of the Great Jin family, so the Great Liang Kingdom rose quickly. After Zhang Zuo became emperor, the people's hearts were greatly disappointed, and he was soon overthrown by his own ministers, Zhang Zuo's violent corpse on the street, Qianliang collapsed because of civil strife, and then perished.

Zhou Yan's most important eyes and ears in the Great Liang Kingdom is this Zhang Jun's eldest son, Zhang Zuo, who was angry with his younger brother and messed with his stepmother.

This guy is really a saint warrior, as the prince of Qianliang, he colluded with his sworn enemy Daming, and even did not hesitate to betray the interests of Qianliang, and he can be called the first traitor in Daliang country. When Zhou Yan sent someone to try to contact Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo immediately agreed, which startled Zhou Yan, and thought it was a trap for Qianliang, and then Zhang Zuo continued to send news to the Supervision Department, and Zhou Yan knew that this guy was really a superb person who would do anything for the throne. Of course, if Zhou Yan knew that Zhang Zuo not only stole his stepmother in history, but also stole all of his more than a dozen sisters and nieces, he would not be so strange. This Zhang Zuo is a madman, and he can't be dealt with with common sense.

is such a person, but in front of his father and younger brother, he shows importance and reliability, Zhang Jun relies on his eldest son very much, and even makes him a minister in history despite the opposition of his ministers. Therefore, Zhang Zuo relied on his acting skills to gain his father's trust, and personally experienced the important meeting where Cheng Yao, the envoy of Da Zhao, came, and it was he who went to see off Cheng Yao, so it can be said that he knew about the transaction between Da Zhao and Da Liangguo this time.

After knowing Da Zhao's purpose, Zhang Zuo was jealous of the divine stone that peeked at his father on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was ready to get benefits from Da Ming, that is, to help himself ascend to the throne. So just when Zhou Yan was having a headache about how to make achievements, a piece of information sent by Qian Liang caught his attention.

"Let me talk to him in person?What is Zhang Zuo going to do?Could it be that Qianliang has any big moves?" Zhou Yan only thought for a while before preparing to leave for Qianliang, after all, Zhang Zuo is Zhang Jun's eldest son, and he has received huge financial support from Daming over the years, so he will not be easily betrayed. You must know that the news leaked by Zhang Zuo is enough to make Zhang Zuo, the eldest son, fall into the abyss, Zhang Jun is not a soft-hearted person.

A month later, Zhou Yan came back from the former Liang in ecstasy, for this one who didn't even participate in the annual banquet of His Majesty, he got the strategic deployment of Dazhao and other countries from Zhang Zuo's mouth, and this news was enough to make him a new celebrity in front of His Majesty. And the price is nothing more than Da Ming's full support for Zhang Zuo's ascension and the divine stone that Da Zhao gave to his father, there is no problem with this, after all, Da Ming will not go deep into the Western Regions to attack Qianliang in the short term, but it is possible to completely take the remaining Hexi Corridor in his hands, and when the time comes, it is in the interests of Da Ming to support Zhang Zuo, an incompetent person, to become the former Liang lord who is shrinking in the Western Regions. As for the Divine Stone or something, Zhou Yan didn't take it to heart, the controller of the Divine Stone was very powerful, but no matter how powerful it was, it could be more powerful than His Majesty?

Zhou Yan met Chu Yun with excitement, it happened that Chu Yun was not in retreat, when Chu Yun heard Zhou Yan's report, he immediately summoned You Ziyuan, Ma Liang and the two privy envoys in Beijing to discuss, as for Mo Han, Zheng Jie, Wen Qiao and Pu Hong, they were ignored by Chu Yun. Mo Han may have a problem after all, and Zheng Jie, a cabinet minister, is just Chu Yun used to balance the government, although he is a cabinet minister, but he is half of his ability, he can engage in diplomacy, and he really can't enter the decision-making level, Wen Qiao and Pu Hong are newcomers, and they have not been fully accepted by Chu Yun. The five privy envoys Lu Zhong, Xie Ai, Wang Jie, Ran Liang and Pu Hong, only Ran Liang, Wang Jie and Pu Hong were in Chang'an, Pu Hong was a newcomer, so only Wang Jie and Ran Liang arrived.

When Zhou Yan told the news to several important ministers, several people were shocked and then thought quietly. In fact, it's no wonder that they were all shocked, it was really Da Zhao and the others who played too hard this time. They are ready to kill the Ming Kingdom at one time, and their hearts are too big.

Da Zhao is ready to launch the battle of Luoyang, at least 250,000 troops besiege Luoyang, after all, the current Sili Prefecture is divided into two halves, Luoyang does not have any depth, and Luoyang's gateway Tiger Pass is firmly in the hands of Da Zhao. Therefore, it could only be defended by a strong city, and the Ming defenders in Luoyang were only 100,000 people, and the general Lu Zhong was personally stationed in Luoyang. Even the entire army garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty in Sili Prefecture was only 150,000 people, after all, Sili Prefecture was not only a city in Luoyang.

If the Great Zhao State gathered such a large number of troops, the defense of Luoyang City would not be impenetrable. This is only one of the offensive directions of the Great Zhao State, in addition to the great war that will break out in Luoyang, the Great Zhao will also send 100,000 troops to unite the 150,000 troops of the Great Yan State to attack Shanggu County and Dai County, and even once the Ming and Liao States cannot resist, they will enter the state from the west.

Moreover, Da Zhao and Da Yan supported the grain and grass materials of Daiguo, Bald Xianbei and Rouran Dapi, so that they could continue to contain Daming's hardcore ally Xia Guo, without Daming's help, Tie Fu was likely to be vulnerable, and when the three grassland forces entered the state from the north, it was likely that there would be a hole in the defense of the state.

That is to say, this time the Ming Dynasty will face the 500,000 combined forces of Da Zhao and Da Yan, plus the Great Liang Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom, the Bald Xianbei Tribe and the Rouran Tribe in the Battle of the Alluring Kingdom. And what's worse is that Da Jin got the benefits of Da Zhao, and Da Zhao actually took out Yangzhou to buy Da Jin, which was really bloody. Therefore, Da Jin, a capricious guy, is likely to stand by and watch, of course, it is impossible for them to send troops to Daming, after all, they have also seen Wen Qiao's fate, which is a blessing in misfortune. However, Chu Yun was very suspicious that Da Jin would take this opportunity to attack Da Chengguo, the younger brother of Da Ming, so as to contain Da Chengguo's forces. If this is really the case, the Ming Dynasty is basically resisting several powerful countries in the world alone.

Once Qianliang also makes a move, then Daming will face third-line pressure, Luoyang, Bingzhou and the Western Front, this time it will not be the same as the last time, all countries do not want to lose too much, so they drag each other back, and finally Daming is broken one by one. This time, it is likely that several countries will go all out, especially the two old rivals of Da Zhao Guo and Qianliang.

"Your Majesty, let me go and lead someone to destroy the Liang Kingdom first, this group of hateful traitors. Ran Liang was the first to speak.

"Then how many people do you need, and how long will it take?" Chu Yun asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, I only need to take the 100,000 people of the Zhengxi Army and the Zhenxi Army. I am willing to make a military order, if we fight head-to-head, they will never be our opponents, and within half a year, we will destroy the Liang Kingdom. Ran Liang said confidently.

"Half a year, although their Great Liang Kingdom is not as good as before, they can easily raise three or four hundred thousand troops, and this is not counting their allies Begging Xianbei and Bald Xianbei. Even if you can defeat them head-on with one enemy and ten enemies. But what if they don't fight a decisive battle with you, but go around in circles with you in the Western Regions? How can you guarantee your logistics at that time? What if they cut off the logistics of the army?" Chu Yun asked questions one after another, and everyone also thought about it.

Not to mention that the strength of the Great Liang Kingdom is not something that can be destroyed in a short period of time, let's just say that if they don't fight you, you won't be able to play at all. Although the Western Regions are not all Gobi Desert like later generations, there are already signs of that, and if such a barren place really wants to fight, the army is likely to be all surrendered to the Western Regions. During the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi gathered the strength of the whole country and personally led people to attack the big and small Jungars, but they almost collapsed the treasury, and failed many times. Although there is a reason for the poor level of Kang Mazi, the geographical problem should not be underestimated. What's more, Qianliang is much stronger than Galdan.

Ran Liang's face became embarrassed after hearing this, although he was a little grumpy, but he was also a general who had commanded the army for many years, how could he not know whether what Chu Yun said was right or wrong. Chu Yun didn't blame him, after all, he was his cronies, and his intentions were good. Chu Yun pressed his hand, and Ran Liang sat back.

"You Gong, what do you think?" Chu Yun looked at You Ziyuan, Chu Yun was really a little embarrassed, because there were no professional strategists under him, especially for the military, no wonder after Guo Jia died, Cao Cao cried like a dead father, that was really important. Of course, it can't be said that there is no, Wen Qiao is one, but this time Da Ming and Da Jin had a falling out, and as Wen Qiao, who is loyal to Da Jin, Chu Yun doesn't know, so he can't tell him about this matter.

As for Zhang Bin, a dead old ghost, Chu Yun also had some distrust after being pitted last time, this guy is a first-class figure in the world, can't he see the danger of the last Ming Dynasty's military plan? Anyway, Chu Yun didn't believe it, Chu Yun didn't believe that Zhang Bin wouldn't be able to see it, but he didn't say it.

But even so, Chu Yun still has to provide for him, now that Zhang Bin's body has begun to slowly materialize, and his strength has reached the early stage of the ground level, Chu Yun is still very envious of Zhang Bin's current body, although he is afraid of telekinetic means, but he is immune to most physical attacks, which is much more than Chu Yun's indestructible body ox. You must know that his exercises can be said to completely ignore the means below the Heavenly Rank, after all, except for a few earth-level martial artists, how can anyone use telekinesis?

Of course, Chu Yun is not unable to deal with Zhang Bin, after all, his life is in his own hands, but it is not a good thing to casually threaten this group of strategists, this group of guys is very insidious, maybe they will dig a big hole for you, and you don't know how to fall into it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if we really follow their plan, we will be in danger. You Ziyuan said that he looked at Chu Yun here, Chu Yun nodded, he is not a faint monarch who can't listen to bad words.

"Da Zhao and Liang Guo have a deep hatred for my Da Ming, they will definitely do their best, not to mention that there are several forces in the Great Yan Kingdom and the grassland, if we defend passively, then it must be my Da Ming who will fail in the end. Therefore, we must go out to attack, just like the last time we defeated the coalition forces of various countries. You Ziyuan said confidently.

"You Gong is talking about the time difference?" Chu Yun's eyes lit up, the last time Da Ming was besieged by various countries, Da Ming first defeated Da Liang Kingdom, and then turned back to fight against Da Zhao, Da Jin and Da Cheng Guo. Several countries in the world actually thought of going together, Da Zhao wanted to make a time difference, Da Liang also wanted to make a time difference, and Da Ming was also ready to do this, but I don't know whose plan can be realized.
