The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Xiaoyue took a few steps towards the bed, knelt on the head of the bed and said softly to Zhao Ke: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that today's court meeting, His Majesty discussed with the ministers and decided to declare war on Great Zhao!"

"What!" Zhao Ke turned pale with shock!

Da Qin actually declared war on Da Zhao!

This news can be said to have caught Zhao Ke by surprise. She originally thought that with her here, and now that she had given birth to a prince, no matter how ambitious Qin Dynasty was, he would not attack Zhao Dynasty so quickly. The prince was born yesterday, and today he declared war on Da Zhao.

The Qin Dynasty didn't recognize anyone when he lifted his pants?

Seeing that Zhao Ke's face changed drastically, Xiaoyue continued quickly: "Don't worry, ma'am, Daqin declared war on Dazhao, not really wanting to go to war with Dazhao, but just to cover up people's eyes and sneak attack Xia Dynasty!"

Zhao Kexiu frowned, and asked with a puzzled face: "What's going on? It's declaring war and not going to war. What exactly does the Qin Dynasty want to do? Xiaoyue, tell me quickly what happened in the early morning Whatever happens, the process has to be said again."

"At today's court meeting, His Majesty first announced to the ministers that the Wuyang Navy defeated Yin Li, regained Yan Island and Sanming Island, and solved the sea trouble. Then His Majesty announced to the ministers that Daqin declared war on Dazhao. If you come out, it will immediately arouse the opposition of all the ministers!"

"Then His Majesty explained to the ministers that Da Qin's declaration of war to Da Zhao was not really about going to war with Da Zhao. Da Qin's real purpose was to use this to deceive people and relax Xia Dynasty's vigilance against Da Qin, making Xia Dynasty think that Da Qin was going to fight Da Qin. Zhao!"

"In this way, Daqin can take advantage of the unsuspecting situation of the Xia Dynasty, and the army will go straight to Huanglong and seize the capital of the Xia Dynasty, Shangqiu, in order to destroy the Xia Dynasty regime in the shortest possible time. Only when the officials heard this did they understand His Majesty's intentions mean."

"Afterwards, a minister asked if it was necessary to send someone to inform the Great Zhao Court to prevent the Great Zhao Court from sending troops to attack Hulao Pass. His Majesty directly reprimanded the minister who asked the question, thinking that sending someone to notify the Great Zhao Court would only be counterproductive. , I really thought that Daqin was going to hit Zhao, so he hit back!"

"There is also a minister who asked, when will Fa Xia come back, His Majesty will return, at the beginning of March next year, oh yes, His Majesty also said that in order to better cover up the truth of the matter, he will order Shangyang Hou to dispatch troops to help Hulao Pass, Behind the scenes, Manshan Pass is rushing to help!"

"Your Majesty has also ordered the Ministry of War to issue a secret order to General Polu, the commander of the Manshan Camp, to make preparations, and also sent someone to greet the General of the Town Army, the commander of the Hulao Camp, so as to prevent self-defeating, fake tricks for real! "Xiaoyue explained the general process of the court meeting, and she explained it very clearly, as if she had gone to court.

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Ke's face revealed a look of sudden realization, and he immediately relaxed after taking a breath.

Seeing that Zhao Ke felt that this was a bit strange, Xiaoyue couldn't help asking: "Don't you think this is strange? With the current strength of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is not difficult to destroy a Xia Dynasty. It is even very simple. It is obviously such a simple matter." , why go to such trouble?"

The corners of Zhao Ke's mouth curled up, and he said with a light smile, "This is His Majesty's brilliance. Think about it, even you think that Daqin won't go to great lengths to destroy Xia, so the Xia court will naturally think so!"

"So let's relax our vigilance against Daqin, and just sit and watch Qin's army attack Zhao, but they don't know that Qin's real target is them!"

PS: "Please order in full, order in full, order in full, thank you! Thank you!"

Chapter 868 A burst of analysis is as fierce as a tiger!

"And the reason why His Majesty did this is because it is the best way to destroy Xia. Why do you say that? The reason is that the Xia Dynasty implemented a policy of centralizing the powerful, and Emperor Shangqiu was the center of the family, dignitaries, and scholars. Relatives of higher-ranking officials across the country are all in Shangqiu Imperial Capital!"

"It can be said that Emperor Shangqiu is the head of the Xia Dynasty. If the head is lost, can the body survive? The capital of Shangqiu Emperor is only [-] miles away from Qinguan Manshan Pass. With precautions, the Xia Dynasty has enough time to move the capital south. Avoid being cut off by the Qin army!"

"But without precautions, the Qin army was able to approach the Shangqiu imperial capital before the Xia Dynasty reacted. With the combat power of the Qin army, it was really easy to capture an unsuspecting imperial capital. Once the Shangqiu imperial capital was lost, the entire Xia Dynasty It's going to be a mess!"

After listening to this explanation, Xiaoyue's doubts were reduced, but she still couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that the emperor of the Xia Dynasty was emptied? His four princes have already established small courts in their respective fiefs!"

"In this case, even if Emperor Shangqiu is captured, the Xia Dynasty will not be in chaos. After all, these four princes are all capable of suppressing one side, and there must be a way to suppress the chaos!"

"Haha!" Zhao Ke couldn't help laughing, "You don't know that, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty just lost his military power, and the government is still in his hands, but without the assistance of military power, he can't issue government orders at all, so Become an overhead emperor in the eyes of outsiders!"

"And the small court established by the four princes is just a class of retainers. To say it is a small court is to flatter them. Officials from all over the Xia Dynasty still listen to Emperor Xia, because their families are all in the imperial capital of Shangqiu, and they dare not Choose a prince to take refuge in, otherwise, the Manchus will kill you!"

"So, as long as the Qin army captures the capital of Shangqiu, they will control all the officials of the Xia Dynasty. How long will the four princes be able to dance?"

Zhao Ke's analysis was as fierce as a tiger!

"According to what your mother said, to be in charge of Shangqiu means to be in charge of the entire Xia Dynasty. The four princes can't afford to overthrow the turmoil. But Xia Emperor controls Shangqiu, and I haven't seen him control the entire Xia Dynasty. Why doesn't he use officials from all over the country to suppress the four princes? ?" Xiaoyue seemed to have a hundred thousand reasons, and there was a cloud of suspicion in her heart.

Zhao Ke also became interested, and explained impatiently: "Because Emperor Xia has scruples, think about it, if he forcibly uses officials from all over the country to suppress the four princes, the four princes will not jump the wall in a hurry. He is even worse!"

"The reason why the four princes did not lead the army to attack Shangqiu was because Emperor Xia didn't tear themselves apart from them, and he didn't want to bear the reputation of forcing the emperor. These four princes seem to be united, but in fact they are not of one mind. After all, they They are all for the throne, but there is only one throne, and there will be ghosts in one line!"

"The four princes maintain a delicate relationship, and the four princes maintain a delicate relationship with Emperor Xia. The politics of the Xia Dynasty are equally chaotic and tense, but Qin Jun is different. He has no scruples at all. He will use the capital of Shangqiu to control the officials of the whole country, and while using the officials of the whole country to suppress the four princes, he will lead the army to conquer!"

After listening to these words, Xiaoyue finally understood the significance of the Great Qin Dynasty's move, and also deeply understood the degree of chaos in the Xia Dynasty, just like the landlord's son dividing the land.

Xiaoyue turned her head and looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she asked in a cautious and soft voice: "What should I do, the empress? Should I notify the mother clan? Or notify the Xia Dynasty through the mother clan, so as to break the conspiracy of the Great Qin Dynasty?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Ke couldn't help but become serious, and this is where things are difficult.

If she passes the news back to the mother clan, the mother clan will definitely use this opportunity to attack the Qin Dynasty and destroy the plan of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the Qin Dynasty will definitely notice that there are spies inside. It will be on her head soon.

Even without checking, there will be many people who doubt her, after all, she is the most suspicious.

Once it is found out, it is certain that she will be deposed. The fifth prince who was born just now will also become the stepson of her concubine. Without the fifth prince, she will lose all value and things that can be used, and when the time comes to talk about peace and collapse Daqin , To seek prosperity for Great Zhao.

But if the news is not sent back to the mother clan, the mother clan will definitely think that she has been exposed, and the Qin Dynasty will become angry and go to war against the mother clan. At that time, it is very likely that this fake show will become a real one.

After Zhao Ke pondered for a while, he said in an unhurried tone: "How about this, send someone to pass the news back to the mother clan, tell the head family about today's court meeting, and advise the head family not to tell this Tell the Xia Dynasty about it, otherwise the palace will be at risk of being exposed!"

"The family should also pretend that they don't know anything, while sending envoys to Xianyang, while mobilizing heavy troops, take this scene as real, but don't fight, just the two armies confront each other!"

This is the best plan she can think of at the moment. Only in this way can she be prevented from being exposed, which will only allow the Qin Dynasty to succeed in its plot and destroy the Xia Dynasty.

"Understood!" Xiaoyue nodded solemnly.

"Oh, by the way, ma'am, there is another piece of news, it's good news!" Xiaoyue continued with a smile on her face.

Hearing this, Zhao Ke asked curiously, "What good news?"

"Today's court meeting, suddenly there was an urgent report from 41 miles away. The urgent report said that the Qin army had won a great victory in the battlefields of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties, beheading [-] enemies, forcing the Southern Wei emperor Wei Shang to slay himself, and the Qin army also died [-] General Hu Lie, General Yang Hu also died in battle!"

"Your Majesty was horrified when he heard the news, and announced his withdrawal from the court in a daze. When Queen Yang Xiao heard the news, she passed out immediately. After waking up, she cried bitterly. People who passed by Ganquan Palace all said that they heard Queen Yang Xiao's heart-piercing cry. Sound, ma'am, this is definitely good news, if the mother clan finds out, they will be ecstatic!" Xiaoyue said excitedly.

Zhao Ke's face also revealed an unconcealable smile. The Qin Dynasty lost [-] elite soldiers and a great general, and this general's status was very high, no less than that of the original successor Zhao Cheng.As Xiaoyue said, this is definitely great news for the mother clan!

Daqin's vitality has been seriously injured now!

"Bring this news back to the mother clan!"

"En!"

The two masters and slaves were overjoyed and couldn't wait to pass the news back to their mother clan. The mother clan they talked about was the Da Zhao royal family!

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for four daily tickets, thank you for your support!"

Chapter 869 The people are in an uproar!

Time passed slowly, two hours later!

Xianyang Palace!

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, Ying Chang was still sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, staring at the Ye Mingzhu above his head without blinking in a daze. Others were facing the wall and thinking about their past, but he was thinking about his past with the Ye Mingzhu.

"Your Majesty, the First Prince begs to see you!"

At this moment, Pei Ji's voice came from outside the palace gate.

Ying Chang thought for a moment, then said weakly, "Let him in!"

Although it was a soft voice, Pei Ji outside the door could clearly hear Ying Chang's voice. Soon, the 11-year-old eldest prince Ying Jiang pushed open the palace door and walked into the palace. Then Pei Ji quickly closed the palace door, and Ying Jiang was livid. Looking up at Ying Chang on the high platform, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Why is the father here? Shouldn't you appease the queen mother in Ganquan Palace!"

Ying Jiang's tone was very blunt, even with a hint of resentment.

It's normal to have grievances. My uncle died in battle, my mother was crying like hell, and all the culprits hid here in a daze.

Ying Chang looked at Ying Jiang under the stage expressionlessly, and said in a neutral tone: "Are you here to blame me? If so, you are not qualified yet. You take off the prince's coat, it's just a little Intelligent ordinary people!"

"You didn't open up the border and expand the country, and you didn't make the country strong. What right do you have to blame me? When you have made achievements and surpassed me, you have the right to blame me!"

Ying Jiang was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw his usually gentle father show such a ruthless attitude. At this moment, he clearly felt the gap between himself and his father. Regardless of his father and son identity, he really didn't care about anything. no.

"Go out, go to your mother's side, do filial piety, and comfort your mother!" Ying Chang waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes!" Ying Jiang bowed his head dejectedly, turned around and left.

In just a few words, Ying Jiang's resentment was extinguished. This is the majesty of the emperor, and it is also the aura that ordinary people talk about.

...

Xianyang City!

"My God, General Hu Lie actually died in battle!"

"This this..."

"Over the past 20 years, General Hu Lie has been the highest general who died in the Great Qin War. The Yang family is really a loyal family, worthy of our ancestors!"

"Wang Shiye of the Yang Family Army, 41 wiped out [-] enemies, beheaded several enemy generals, and the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty is dead!"

"The Southern Wei Dynasty was the overlord of Kyushu in the past. My Great Qin used 41 to destroy the [-] army of the former overlord. It is definitely an extremely dazzling record. The emperor of the Great Wei was forced to death by our army. The Yang family's army is mighty, and the Great Qin is mighty!"

"I, Da Qin, also helped the Wei Dynasty to unify. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!"

"It should be a good thing. The imperial court has always been helping the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now that the Northern Wei Dynasty is unified, the Great Qin has allies in the southern part of Kyushu. It can achieve a pincer between the north and the south, and jointly attack the countries in the central part of Kyushu!"

"I feel that sooner or later, my Great Qin will start a decisive battle with the Wei Dynasty!"

"You think too much of the current Wei Dynasty. The current national power of the Wei Dynasty is not as good as some third-rate dynasties. Now, the most powerful enemy of our Great Qin is the Zhao Dynasty. No, the court just declared war on the Zhao Dynasty!"

"What? The court actually declared war on the Zhao Dynasty? When did it happen!"

"Just now, it's all on the list!"

"My God!"

"Great, as long as the Zhao Dynasty is destroyed, my Great Qin will advance in unification. Maybe in my lifetime, I will see Great Qin unify Kyushu and the world will return to Qin!"

"Isn't it too ruthless to say that at the time? Didn't it mean that Princess Zhao is now Concubine Ning, who just gave birth to a prince for Daqin yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's really a bit ruthless. After giving birth to a child, you don't recognize anyone!"

"Ruthless is the emperor's family!"

"Okay, don't discuss this matter anymore, your majesty is right in everything you do, what are you talking about, just wait for the unification of Qin Dynasty."

"makes sense."

"Unification of the world and even Gao Hongyuan, whoever opposes the unification will die!"

General Hu Lie died in battle, and Da Qin declared war on Da Zhao. As soon as the two news came out, there was an uproar in Xianyang City. Countless people huddled together and discussed it, which undoubtedly became the hottest topic today.

As time went by, the news gradually spread to the whole country, causing an uproar after another. When Yang Long, who was guarding Nanguan, learned that his brother died in battle and his son Yang Shuang died in battle, he was deeply saddened. Wear hemp and filial piety!

Empress Yang Xiao gradually calmed down after a period of appeasement, and Ying Chang also returned to normal, continuing to review memorials and govern the Great Qin Wanli!

Fast forward to March!

Shengqin 27th July [-]th!

Xianyang City, South City Gate!

Outside the South City Gate, there was a sea of ​​people, densely packed with human heads, about [-] people, and directly in front of the [-] people, [-] imperial guards lined up neatly, each with stern faces and lightning-like eyes.

In the forefront of the imperial guards, hundreds of court ministers lined up in two rows, and in front of the hundreds of officials were Ying Chang and Yang Xiao!

What day is today?

The most honorable man and woman of the Great Qin Dynasty came out, accompanied by ministers of the court and [-] imperial guards, and at the end there were more than [-] people watching. Today is a big day, it is Yanshui Great day for Yang Jiajun's triumphant return to Daying!

It was July, the hottest period of the year, and with the scorching sun hanging in the sky and the cloudless sky, more than [-] people crowded together were dizzy from heat, and [-] imperial guards It was hard to escape the scorching heat, and the black armor on his body became the biggest burden.

Baiguan and Yingchang Yang Xiao are alright, the clothes they wear are made of silk, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very effective in fighting inflammation, and they don't feel much heat.

I don't know how long it took, under the scorching sun, many people suffered from heatstroke, and they were rushed to pharmacies or clinics for treatment, but even so, no one left without heatstroke. You have to stand still and wait, looking expectantly at the wide and flat state road ahead.

rumbling...

rumbling...

In vain, at this moment, there was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from the state road ahead. The moment the sound of horseshoes sounded, everyone's spirits were shaken, and they saw rows of black armored cavalry in front of them, and countless black Qin character army flags fluttered in the wind.

These cavalrymen are not the same as ordinary cavalrymen. The cavalrymen are holding horses in their hands, but these cavalrymen are either holding long spears, or empty-handed, with a sword on their waists, or carrying eight-stone crossbows on their backs. They do not have the characteristics of cavalrymen. Obviously, they were all The infantry, just to hurry, temporarily rode on the horses left by the fallen cavalry.

And they were the [-] Yang family troops who had withdrawn from the battlefields of the Northern and Southern Wei Dynasties thousands of miles away!

PS: "Please order in full, order in full, order in full, and say important things three times!"

Chapter 870 Where Your Majesty's Sword Goes, Where Our Soldier Goes!

"Here we come, our hero is back!"

"The warriors of Daqin are back!"

"Long live the Great Qin! The Great Qin is mighty! The Qin army is mighty! The Yang family's army is mighty!"

The 20 Yang family troops are still four or five miles away from the south city gate, but more than [-] people have already cheered, and the deafening cheers resounded in a radius of ten miles!

Yang Jiajun, who was four or five miles away, heard the cheers in front of him, and felt proud and proud. He couldn't help straightening his back and presenting his best side to the people.

Yang Zhong, Yang Yi, and Yang Wu rode war horses at the forefront of the army. When they felt the enthusiasm of the people, and saw all the officials of the court and His Majesty and Queen coming out of the city to greet them, they immediately felt that all their efforts were worthwhile. , father and uncle deserved to die!
