Chapter 143 Shocked the government and the opposition
In order to save time and to keep the soldiers full of enthusiasm, Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, immediately led a 200,000 army northward and prepared to conquer Anyang in one fell swoop!
As long as Anyang can be taken down, he will not only obtain countless wealth, as well as a large number of powerful weapons, but also open up the passage with Cai State; thus Zhongshan County will be safe. ∟To be precise, Shi Chengsong will be safe.
The worst is the worst. By then, Zhongshan County announced that it will become a part of Cai State, and Daxia State will not dare to do anything in chaos!
The 200,000 army started to move, and the team lasted for more than 30 miles. This time, Zhongshan County really put all its strength into the world without leaving any way out, and came to take a glimmer of hope!
Anyang is facing an unprecedented crisis!
When Shi Chengsong led an army of 200,000 to attack Anyang, the Kong family, who were far south, was also discussing.
The old man from the Kong family, former Grand Tutor of Cai, sat in the position of the elder; the head of the family was Kong Donglai, and there was an empty seat on the right side of Kong Donglai, which was Kong Donghua's - unfortunately Kong Donghua was killed by Li Xian. This position is left here, indicating a hatred that will never be forgotten!
Kong Donglai also has two sons beside him: the eldest Kong Yingzhi, the one who went to Qingyun Valley to trade, was also the one who came into contact with the prince a few days ago, and the second Kong Yingcai, the one who went to Cai State to be envoyed.
There are also many civil officials and military generals around, and of course the Kong family also has their own strategists, including their own literati, alchemist, etc.
After everyone arrived, Kong Donglai, the current head of the Kong family, spoke, "Everyone, I have something to discuss with you.
Yesterday, my son (Kong) Yingzhi had contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are temporarily preparing to cooperate with the Crown Prince to help the Crown Prince win interests; but the premise is that the Crown Prince must help us get an opportunity to re-elect the ranks of the court.
I want my uncle (Kong Xiang) to return to the imperial capital. I am preparing to join forces with Yuan Yong to drive Li Yulong out of the imperial capital.
This matter was clear and clear, but just last night, another envoy from Zhongshan County came to me and brought me news that shocked me - they were ready to rebel!"
Wow...
As soon as these two news was made public, the small "local government" of Nanyang County was in an uproar, and all the civil officials and military officials were shocked and speechless for a moment.
The deal with the prince seemed good - if there were no changes later. But with the rebellion of Zhongshan County, things were much more complicated.
But after being surprised, everyone looked at Kong Xiang again - this was someone who had been a Grand Tutor. At this time, everyone wanted to see what Kong Xiang meant.
Seeing that everyone was looking forward, Kong Xiang finally couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, "Everyone, I think that cooperation with the prince must continue. The name of the prince can bring us a lot of political benefits; if I can re-establish the ranks of the court, it will reduce the development of the Kong family and reduce many stumbling blocks.
There is no need to do this today, with an imperial edict today and an oral edict tomorrow, forcing us to jump up and down.”
It turns out that the Kong family is not at peace now. Although the Daxia Kingdom has been destroyed in name only, and although the emperor's imperial edict has been worse than waste paper after it was released from Wuyang, the emperor is still the emperor after all. Although the Daxia Kingdom "dead in name only", this name is still very useful.
For example, now, there is an imperial edict every ten days. Although this imperial edict is useless, it is too disgusting. The Kong family always shows that they are "thrilled" every time - this is too shameful. After receiving the imperial edict, they put the imperial edict on the shelf and ignored it - this is manifested as not good-looking outside!
And where did these imperial edicts come from? Li Yulong and Yuan Yong joined forces! As for His Majesty the Emperor, he was naturally happy to see the Kong family being defeated.
Often, the previous imperial edict urges the Kong family to pay the taxes quickly - of course the Kong family will not pay attention; the next imperial edict will be specifically scolded! It specifically uses imperial edicts to curse people, which makes the Kong family even more shameful.
If such imperial edicts accumulate too much, the Kong family will be no one inside or outside, and then they will naturally be betrayal of their relatives; this is a typical example of boiling frogs in warm water and framing the Kong family in name to frame the Kong family for injustice.
Therefore, the Kong family must return to the court now and at least erase these disgusting things.
After pausing for a moment, Kong Xiang continued: "As for the rebellion of Zhongshan County, we don't need to worry about it. We will say it when Your decree is delivered.
According to my expectations, the descent of Your Descent will take at least five days later.
In five days, Zhongshan County should be able to conquer Anyang. At that time, we will be with Zhongshan County and Xu and Wushe, dragging the war until His Majesty's death.
If the 200,000 troops of Zhongshan County cannot take Anyang in five days, then we will use Zhongshan County to establish our authority! Take the opportunity to control Zhongshan County.
In fact, because of the rebellion of Zhongshan County, the Kong family gave us the best opportunity to return to the court!
In addition, actively research gunpowder weapons!”
After discussion, the Kong family finally decided to pretend not to know that Zhongshan County was rebelling and still cooperate with the current prince. In addition, the Kong family has begun to actively prepare for war. During this preparation, an item called "gunpowder" is within the preparation range!
Li Xian has sold gunpowder everywhere now; and the mixed items of gunpowder can naturally be hidden from the spiritual consciousness of the masters of cultivation. With a little careful observation, the composition will be distinguished. It is just because of technical problems such as purification, the gunpowder sold in Anyang is particularly powerful; naturally, the price is relatively high.
But gunpowder has begun to become popular; in several wars in Anyang, the power of gunpowder has been fully demonstrated!
In the north, Yan Ze'an sat in Kaiping County and discussed in front of the eldest son Li Liang. "Grand Prince, this Xin'an County in the north is a hot potato. There is no need to compete with the eldest prince, give it to the eldest prince. Just give it to the eldest prince and Cai Guo a headache.
The best thing is to go south to compete for Zhongshan County.
We are going to make a deal with Yuan Yong, so that Yuan Yong's family can control Luliang County, and we can control Zhongshan County..."
"Report! Someone from Anyang said there was an urgent matter."
Yan Ze'an was interrupted when he was talking.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ze'an frowned immediately. It is rare for people who can use the word "emergency"; Anyang has only used an emergency situation once, which was that Yan Ze'an led the Cai army to attack Anyang in the second expedition.
Soon someone came in and the person who sent Yan Ze'an was General Wang Jian!
After seeing Yan Ze'an, Wang Jian smiled bitterly, "To prevent accidents, I will be sent as soon as possible. I can only take action in person. Zhongshan County has rebelled! Because Zhongshan County and Cai State had secret contact, Mr. Xu was worried that Zhongshan County would take the lead in attacking Anyang and open up the passage between Zhongshan County and Cai State."
Yan Zean stood up in surprise, while Li Liang was even more stunned. Is this the opposite?
Zou Hui, the strategist around Li Liang, was stunned at this moment. At this moment, the strategist Zou Hui's head turned several times, and his eyes turned in circles. Zou Hui still didn't know what to do and how to bring the greatest benefits to Kaiping County and Li Liang in this sudden change. This matter is too big!
Yan Zean calmly, "The eldest son, contact the eldest prince immediately. The eldest prince has the responsibility to extinguish the rebellion and stop the dispute with the eldest prince. He will take this opportunity to give up Xin'an County and stop competing with the eldest prince. Give the eldest prince a step.
In addition, the eldest prince immediately dispatched troops to join forces with Anyang to block the troops from Zhongshan County to head north.
It would be enough to do these two things well."
Then Yan Zean hurried back to Anyang, ready to face this sudden change.
On the evening of that day, several cavalrymen rushed into Wuyang City: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Zhongshan County rebelled! Zhongshan County rebelled!"
It seemed as if a huge bomb was thrown into the small swimming pool, and the entire Wuyang City completely exploded in just half an hour.
Half an hour later, all the officials and generals of Wuyang City gathered in the court, and everyone was surprised.
(The fourth update is now, and it seems that I still owe everyone the fifth update (>_<). It is difficult to write a little **. After this little **, Li Xian will have a foundation to gain a foothold. He is thinking about how to make the process more intense. o(n_n)o!)
