Starting from signing in on the first day of ascending the throne, killing through the heavens

The news that Beiliang had captured Yongzhou spread in all directions almost instantly.

The whole world was shocked and Li Yang was also completely furious.

Not to mention the reaction from Beimang.

Just in Li Yang, countless people were shocked and excited, and even more people were secretly preparing to take the opportunity to take revenge. In the past, Xu Xiao was a roaming gang in the world of martial arts, and if it weren't for his status as the King of Beiliang, these people would have attacked him long ago. Now the Beiliang rebellion is an opportunity.

For a while.

The entire Liyang world was swept up in an instant.

..........

Tai'an City.

In the palace.

As early as two days ago.

When Chen Zhibao led hundreds of thousands of troops south.

The Emperor of Liyang already knew the news. In fact, if it weren't for the disappearance of Han Shengxuan that caused some problems in the entire intelligence system of Liyang, and the crazy obstruction of the Beiliang spy, the Emperor of Liyang should have known the news as early as three days ago when Chen Zhibao gathered his troops. It's just that even if he knew the news of the Beiliang rebellion.

However, the court has not made any significant response or countermeasures.

This was mainly because the court was already extremely noisy.

Ministers from all parties, led by Prime Minister Zhang Julu and General Gu Jiantang.

The quarrel lasted for two days in this hall.

Some of these people wanted to appease Beiliang because they were afraid of Beimang, some wanted revenge and were eager to send troops to destroy Beiliang immediately, and some remained neutral because of their relationship with Beiliang or for other reasons.

But in any case, after the news came that Yongzhou had fallen.

A decision must be made today.

Look around.

Nowadays, the lowest rank in this imperial palace is a fourth-rank civil servant.

But even so, there were still dozens of people standing there in a dense crowd.

Zhang Julu said sternly, "If we send a million soldiers, what will happen if Beimang goes south? In my opinion, the most important thing now is to stabilize the situation and test what Beiliang wants to do."

"The second thing is to determine whether Beiliang has colluded with Beimang!"

"In the end, they sent troops to encircle and stop the Northern Liang cavalry!"

He didn't have any selfish motive in saying this.

I'm simply afraid of Beimang.

Don’t others know that Zhang Julu also knows the determination of these northern barbarians to move south?

The Beiliang rebellion is certainly dangerous now, but the real threat would be if the Beimang took advantage of the situation and moved south.

Gu Jiantang sneered, "If we follow the Prime Minister's arrangement, I'm afraid the Northern Liang cavalry may not be able to gather troops to Tai'an City. Will they come from all directions to defend the king? If I were to ask, since Northern Liang dared to go south, they must have colluded with Northern Mang in secret. What we need to do now is to destroy Northern Liang first and then stop Northern Mang!"

"Your Majesty! Please give your orders!"

Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

He got some information from Zhao Gou, who was led by the imperial teacher Yuan Benxi.

That is, this rebellion to the south was not led by Xu Xiao, but by the villain butcher Chen Zhibao.

Secondly, the route they attacked was also extremely strange.

If Beiliang really wants to rebel.

After conquering Yongzhou, we would head directly to Xiongzhou.

As long as you pass Xiongzhou, you will be not far from Tai'an City.

However, according to the intelligence obtained, the Beiliang cavalry led by Chen Zhibao went south.

This is a bit confusing.

In addition, Zhao Gou also suffered heavy losses while gathering intelligence this time.

It is difficult to say whether there are any spies inside the Liyang Palace.

Or in other words, in the eyes of Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun.

How many of the civil and military officials in the court are truly against Beiliang?

Even though those people cursed Xu Xiao harshly in the past, most of them were just defaming themselves to save their own lives.

In fact, the harsher the scolding, the more relieved he, the emperor, would be about Beiliang.

The Liyang Dynasty has been suppressing Beiliang since its founding by Zhao Li.

It’s a pity that Beiliang has been too cautious in recent years.

Even Zhao Dun, who had fought his way out of the fight for the throne, couldn't find any flaws.

Now, the rebellion in Northern Liang is actually a good thing for Zhao Dun. It is also an opportunity to completely wipe out Northern Liang with justification. However, the current situation is too strange, which is why Zhao Dun has not made up his mind.

Zhao Dun's silence also made the atmosphere in the hall depressing.

Gu Jiantang stared at Zhao Dun with burning eyes: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Dun slowly raised his hand and said, "General, please do not be impatient. Yuan Benxi has sent me intelligence that Beimang has not made any moves southward. Even the Queen of Beimang must be extremely confused now, because after Beiliang rebelled southward, there are still 300,000 troops stationed on the border, and even Wang Xianzhi is in Beiliang."

As soon as this information came out.

Gu Jiantang was stunned: "There are still 300,000 troops?! Wang Xianzhi from Wudi City?!"

The Beiliang rebellion was too sudden.

In addition to the information on the surface.

A lot of information is unknown to those present.

This is not to say that people like Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang are incapable.

But a lot of messages simply don’t have time to be transmitted back.

Zhang Julu also frowned: "Where did Beiliang get so many troops? Even if Beiliang had the intention of rebellion, it is understandable to hide tens of thousands of troops, but how did they hide hundreds of thousands of troops? As a general, didn't you find out at all? And how could Wang Xianzhi go to Beiliang?!"

That's what's weird.

Gu Jiantang did not argue with Zhang Julu, but was wondering where Beiliang's army was hidden.

Zhao Dun continued, "In addition, after conquering Yongzhou, Chen Zhibao did not go to Xiongzhou, but went south to the southeastern border. If we follow the time, they are almost at the 800-li Chunshen Lake now."

As soon as these words came out.

Not to mention Gu Jiantang and Zhang Julu.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yan Jiexi, the Grand Secretary of Dongyuan Pavilion, stood up with a surprised expression and said, "The 800-li Chunshen Lake, the three cities, the three passes and the three mountains have been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. From this place, you can sail eastward or go north to fight, but... but how can Beiliang get ships? Even if there are ships, how can we take the three cities of Xiangfan, Xingyang and Wuling?!"

Zhao Dun shook his head and said, "Yuan Benxi said that Chen Zhibao has already headed straight for Xiangfan. I am also very curious, why does Chen Zhibao have the courage to go to Xiangfan? What does he want to do? Do you have any opinions?"

opinion?

What insights can this provide?

Even Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang were stunned.

It was already a bit outrageous that Beiliang went south, let alone heading straight to Xiangfan!

You must know that when Xu Xiao was conquering the world, the city of Xiangfan was defended by Wang Yangming, an old minister of Western Chu, for three full years. The Shangyin Academy in the city swore to never surrender, and in the end people in the city resorted to cannibalism. Wang Yangming even cooked and killed his wife and children with his own hands. After Xu Xiao broke into the city, only less than ten thousand of the 200,000 people in Xiangfan were left.

The first thing Zhao Li, the founding emperor, did after he ascended the throne was to ask the head master of Mount Longhu to come here in person.

Use the Zhoutian Grand Ceremony to sacrifice to the hundreds of thousands of wandering ghosts!

This kind of blood feud, coupled with the terrain.

Is Chen Zhibao crazy to go south to attack Xiangfan? !
