The rise of the prince

Chapter 606 The Fu Building Will Fall

Chapter 606 The Fu Building Will Fall

The emperor's words made many people bow their heads in shame.

Is that the only way?
No matter how nice the words are, many people feel the aggrieved and helpless feelings. Jingguo established the country for 200 years and fought for 200 years to recover the lost land. In exchange for such a result, not only Yanshan Mansion could not be taken down, but even the Jin people were also in the north. Eyeing.

The prince said well, but it is hard to imagine what it would look like if Yanshan Mansion fell into the hands of the Jin people.

It is said to take a step back and take it slowly. In the future, Fang Chang will find excuses for himself. In fact, everyone understands that this is a nice comforting word in extreme helplessness.

Now not only outside, but also within the imperial court, there is a crisis. First, the supply line of the army has been extended, and the expenditure has doubled. Then, due to the heavy rain, disasters have occurred frequently in various places, and even Jiang Xian’s army has also suffered disasters. Part of it has to be allocated for disaster relief. In March, the treasury was almost empty.

Everyone didn't say anything, but they could feel that the whole Jingguo was on the verge of collapse.

The emperor looked at him, "Xingzhou, tell me."

Everyone's eyes came together, Li Xingzhou nodded: "Your Majesty, I think this battle still has to be fought."

"Nonsense!" The crown prince quickly interrupted him: "The army has difficulty in supplying, and this experience has resulted in a major defeat and downsizing. Wouldn't it be nonsense to go to fight at this time? What if the army collapses in Yanshan Mansion? Who can keep our Jingguo border safe at that time? .”

"If we don't fight, Yanshan City will fall into the hands of the Jin people. They want to go south in the future. After passing Yanshan Mansion and Qigou Pass, there will be a flat river. Jin Guo cavalry can go straight to Kaiyuan." Li Xingzhou said seriously.

"It's uncertain whether he will fight or not. How dare you expect that the depositor will go south?"

"The Jin people saw a big defeat in the north. 10,000+ people were killed and defeated by more than [-] people from Yelu Dashi. What do you think they will think of Jingguo? It is true that Jingguo is rich, but the richer it is, the more they covet it. If we don't take Nanjing at this time, we will just sit and wait for death."

"King Pingnan breathed a sigh of relief, who would not understand these truths, but how can the Yanshan Mansion, which is helpless with tens of thousands of troops, be able to take it down with just one mouth of the prince?

Although what the crown prince and the ministers said cannot take down Yanshan City, at least it is practical and can stabilize the country, but the prince's words are like nine heavens embracing the moon, the water moon mirrors flowers, it sounds good, what can be done? " Gong Mengji, the judge of the Ministry of officials, asked in a strange way. 1
"Yes!" The prince quickly agreed.

The emperor looked at Li Xingzhou: "How do you think you played well?"

Li Xingzhou cupped his hands, "Let my new army fight, and the money and food will come from the palace." As soon as he said this, everyone looked over in surprise.

"Use the big ship of the palace to lead the new army northward along the Bohai Sea, walk the Haihe River from the mouth of the Bohai Sea, and directly reach the city of Nanjing. At the same time, let Wei Chaoren attract the attention of Yelu Dashi head-on, and then the city of Nanjing can be easily taken."

After hearing his words, everyone was taken aback and looked at him in amazement.

"How many people can the people in the palace bring?" The emperor also came alive and asked curiously, it was like a ray of light in the darkness.

"Five thousand." Li Xingzhou gave a conservative number.

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent, "Five thousand!" He Zhao, who was still in good spirits just now, sighed, "If there are only five thousand, excluding the logistics of the auxiliary soldiers, there are only three or two thousand who can fight."

Everyone nodded slightly, disappointed again.

Li Xingzhou smiled and said: "No, I mean five thousand main forces!" Yes, the new army is completely different. Instead of heavy armor, each soldier can bring his own bedding, tents, dry food, and water. Thousands, at least two thousand or more are responsible for logistics supplies, then the new army is self-sufficient, five thousand is five thousand, and 5000 people are the main force.

They combine all-terrain operations and off-line supplies. As for long-line supplies, the big ships are capable. Once the big ships are docked, many boatmen can also help, and the logistical supply pressure has been reduced many times.

Although in modern times, people still say that fighting is fighting for logistical supplies, but compared with ancient times, the supply pressure of the modern army has been reduced by an unknown number of times.

"What!" He Zhao's eyes widened.

The emperor's eyes also brightened: "Five thousand main forces, what you said is true."

Seeing everyone's expectant gazes, Li Xingzhou nodded affirmatively, "The main force of the five thousand new army can go directly to the city of Nanjing."

These words were like the dawn in the darkness, the emperor's spirit improved a lot, and he asked the empress to help him sit upright, and asked again: "This is absolutely true!"

"It's true."

"Okay, ahem, go and fight, you don't need to pay the money, just pay from the treasury, and fight as you said!" The emperor sternly said.

"Your Majesty, it's not right at this time. Liao people are not stupid. They will definitely think that we came from the sea and set up defenses along the Haihe River." Cheng Jin quickly came out to object.

"That's right, the risk of the prince's move is too great. In fact, he is disregarding the lives of the officers and men of the new army. He only cares about the safety of the imperial army. If he loses again this time, it will hurt the country. The army is also the army of Jingguo, it is the lifeline of the country's comfort, how could it be so risky."

"Oh, that sounds nice, so are you going to fight? You can do it!" Ji Chunsheng couldn't help but curse.

"We will not fight, but we will also protect the lifeline of the country and make long-term considerations for the survival of Jingguo."

"Long-term bird!"

"You are a rough warrior"

"."

When everyone was vying to form a group, the emperor suddenly said loudly: "Okay! Cough cough cough." Then there was a burst of coughing, and everyone fell silent.

"When the country is in danger, you only know that you are arguing here and there, and there is no practical way to use it. It's hard to find Xingzhou. You just don't do it, and you still make irresponsible remarks!"

The emperor said coldly: "Hmph! I don't ask you anything, at least let me keep your mouths quiet and wait until this battle is over.

I'm tired too, that's all for today, you all go down."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, it was basically a conclusion, and everyone could only salute silently, and then retreated.

After leaving the Kunning Palace, the weather was clear and sunny. Many neutral people, such as Duzhi Xue Fang, Yantie envoy Lu Jie, Shang Shuling Cai E, and others could not help but sigh with emotion. In such a chaotic situation, the important officials in the court only knew Fighting for power and profit, only a little sixteen or seventeen-year-old prince stepped forward, trying to turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

Xue Fang walked and said: "Only in this point, it is not comparable to the prince who only knows how to play tricks."

Cai E also echoed: "I don't care who is in charge, I only care about who can do things. If no one does things, I'm afraid Jingguo will die soon."

The prince walked forward angrily, followed by the chief officials of the Six Departments, he turned his head angrily: "Didn't you say to kill him today! Didn't you say that the only way to do this is to retreat, and if I tell him first, he will have nothing to say! What kind of head guarantees, whose head! They are all trash!"

"Your Highness, calm down, hehe, no one would have thought that King Pingnan would have such a move." Cheng Jin said quickly, "But don't worry, Your Highness, the emperor's meaning is very clear, just to see if King Pingnan can win this battle." , he will overwhelm His Highness, but if he can't, the power of the world will belong to His Highness, and King Pingnan will definitely lose power. We can use the disadvantage of the battle as an excuse to cut off his posts such as the Privy Council and Beijing North Transit Envoy. It is difficult to compete with His Highness."

Hearing what he was saying, the prince stepped down slowly: "Then how do you make him lose?"

"It's very simple, Your Highness. King Pingnan's strategy is to take the sea route, then turn from the mouth of the sea to the Haihe River, go up the river, and reach Yanshan City. Then we can tell the Liao people the news. The Haihe River can indeed be reached directly." Yanshan City is true, but the waterway is no better than the land road, as long as it is blocked, there is nowhere to go, and the Liao people are easy to fortify, so if you send more people, they will not be able to get through." Gong Meng whispered in his ear.

The prince hesitated for a moment, "But in this way, what if Yanshan City really falls into the hands of the Jinren?"

Everyone was silent, and Meng Zhiye, the oldest, smiled and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, Yanshan City is lost. When you ascend the throne, you can send a large army to fight back. But if King Pingnan wins this time, the one who ascends the throne may be At that time, King Xiao was on top of the crown prince, and now his son will stand and shit on His highness's head." He spoke softly, but he hit the most vulnerable part of the crown prince's heart hard.

He was trembling all over, and said excitedly: "Okay, send someone, send someone quickly!"

"Your Majesty, going north from Laizhou to the sea is the fastest way to get to Liao Kingdom." Someone reminded.

"Just do as you say!"
