Dajin royal family

Chapter 469 Steady South and Seeking North (Thank you for saying that I am skinny reward)

Another cousin.

From the moment he heard that the two families had married "Qin and Jin", Jiang Chengxiao knew that Uncle Cheap was going to marry his daughter to him.

The eldest daughter of the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, the eldest princess, and the princess of Jiangling.

In other words, my cousin looks really good, I thought she was good when we met a few years ago, if we meet again, I'm afraid she will become more mellow and juicy.

In the courtyard, nine curtains fluttered, and under the corner, the flower garden was in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.

Jiang Chengxiao held the 'big scissors' while trimming the branches, while talking to Yu Qingze, Du Ruming, and Li Yaoshi behind him.

The scissors were developed by Li Chun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, after he drew simple drawings.Zhao Wang occasionally does not do his job properly, which is also justifiable.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chengxiao carefully trimmed the branches, and casually asked the three of them.

Yu Qing said: "Xiao Liang's marriage here should be to deal with Yu Wenshu. After Wang Kuoxiong, Zhu Jie and other rebels were wiped out, the border of the Luoyang court bordered Xiao Liang. For Yu Wenshu, he should temporarily go to Guanzhong He didn't have any ideas, he didn't dare to act rashly when I was approaching the river, so Xiao Liang was in danger."

"My minister's thoughts are the same as Lord Yu's." Du Ruming held the tea and said slowly: "Yu Wenshu doesn't have many places where he can develop now, Qingzhou and the south, but I have soldiers and horses in Qi County, Yu Wenshu knows about us. Therefore, he did not dare to attack Qingzhou easily. Then the south is his first choice."

"Xiao Liang is located in Jingzhou, and now he has opened up the middle of Shu several times. Once Yu Wenshu goes south, Xiao Liang will be under great pressure. Moreover, he has to beware of Nan Chen in the southeast. If he forms an alliance with our dynasty, Yu Wen will be able to I am afraid of throwing rats, and I dare not go south at will."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and let them continue.

Du Ruming continued: "I thought we could form an alliance with Xiao Liang. Now that Qingzhou's bandits are torn apart, they can no longer pose a threat to Nanchen in the southeast. Once Chen Qiujin solves the rebels in Jiangdu County and other places, he will raise troops to attack Qingzhou. Moreover, if Nan Chen covets Xiao Liang, he will probably form an alliance with Yu Wenshu, and it will be difficult to control at that time."

"If our dynasty forms an alliance with Xiao Liang, Yu Wenshu will be on pins and needles. If he attacks Xiao Liang, he must guard against our dynasty, and if he attacks our dynasty, he must guard against Xiao Liang. Of course, it is also possible that after he joins hands with Nan Chen, he will cooperate with each other and attack separately. I am facing Xiao Liang."

"It is the old minister who thinks that if we form an alliance, there will be many benefits."

"Where is the pharmacist, what do you think?" Jiang Chengxiao put down the scissors, Nan Jiyun offered tea, and the guards also offered tea to Yu Qingze and others.

Pharmacist Li took the tea and said: "Nan Chen is located on a great river, and many of his soldiers are good at water warfare. Once Qingzhou is captured, they will definitely fight against Nan Chen in the future. If Xiao Liang can hold back from the rear, it will be a good match." Great help. The final general is afraid that Xiao Liang is more interested in using us to resist Yu Wenshu than forming an alliance for mutual benefit."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "What the pharmacist said is not unreasonable. After all, Xiao Liang is worried that Yu Wenshu and Chen Qiujin will join forces to attack Jingzhou, and we are worried that Chen Qiujin will go north to Qingzhou to intervene."

Gently rubbing the teacup with his fingers, Jiang Chengxiao smiled, "Yu Wenshu is really a trouble."

Pharmacist Li frowned, and quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, Yu Wenshu wears 30 armor, if you are not fully prepared, you can't move it easily."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please think again." Yu Qingze and the two of them came back to their senses and urged them quickly.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "I know, don't worry, now is not the time to touch Yu Wenshu."

Even though Yu Wenshu made him very uncomfortable, he still couldn't do it easily at this time, after all, the general situation has not yet been determined.

"But having said that, Nan Chen has the intention to plot against Xiao Liang, and Xiao Liang has no intention to plot against Nan Chen. Li Yuan in Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger. If my expectations are correct, Li Yuan may go south to Bashu next step. At that time, in order to avoid Fighting on multiple fronts, Xiao Liang will most likely withdraw from Bashu."

"In this way, it may be possible for Xiao Liang's troops to move eastward."

Li Yaoshi said: "There is news from Lishi County that Wei Guo sent troops to attack Zhou Niu'er. Presumably they have reached some kind of agreement with Li Yuan. They want to deal with other forces in Guanzhong first, and then fight to the death."

"When Li Yuan took Bashu, he would have a granary. At that time, Wei Guo might not be his opponent."

The so-called pulling one hair can affect the whole body, now that the separatist forces in the world are gradually becoming clear, the little shrimps will be eaten up, and the rest are all powerful factions, and no one can be underestimated.

Jiang Chengxiao took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It seems that we have to stabilize the east and south first, and turn our attention to the west for the time being."

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them understood King Zhao's decision.

"Qing Ze, it's up to you to discuss the marriage with Cen Zhenben. Remember, it must be kept secret, there are too many people with ulterior motives, lest they spoil the matter."

"Yes." Yu Qing cupped his hands, and immediately said: "May I ask what kind of status the King intends to confer on that Jiangling princess?"

"Since you are a princess, then you can make her a side concubine."

"Yes."

Yu Qing left with Du Ruming, and Li Yaoshi stayed behind.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "If the marriage is successful, with Xiao Liang holding back Nan Chen and Yu Wenshu, the Central Plains and Qingzhou will be safe for the time being. Zhou Niu'er in Guanbei is now mainly supported by Turkic people. If Wei sends troops to attack, Zhou Niu'er will definitely It is our opportunity to seek help from the Turks with all our strength."

"What does your majesty mean to let the State of Wei contain the Turkic forces, and our army go out of Dingxiang to attack the Turks?"

Pharmacist Li is indeed a great talent, and his strategy is often the same as what he thinks.Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Yes, the Turks were beaten to pieces in Hongye for three years, but after seven years of reunion, their strength has gradually recovered. Although they have not yet posed a threat to Dingxiang and other counties, they must be guarded against. Take advantage of this opportunity Get rid of them thoroughly, and we will be able to concentrate on dealing with the Central Plains War in the future."

"I will understand at the end."

"Besides, in this war, the three lands of Hetao must be won. This matter is the most important thing!" Jiang Chengxiao's eyes were firm.

Pharmacist Li was stunned for a moment, but then he wanted to understand something, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's vision! If the Hetao is in our hands, other forces will have no source of war horses!"

There are two main sources of war horses supplied to the Central Plains, one is Liaodong war horses, the other is Hetao war horses, and occasionally war horses from the Western Regions flow into the Central Plains.

Liaodong is already in the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and if Hetao is taken down, other forces will not be able to form an organized cavalry.

Jiang Chengxiao himself has a deep understanding of how strong the cavalry is.

This type of arms, which has existed for thousands of years in the era of cold weapons, has never been eliminated.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Don't say anything about this for now. After the expansion of the army is completed, you will lead the new army to Dingxiang in the name of drill."

"I will understand at the end."

The marriage between the Northern Jin Dynasty and Xiao Liang was negotiated in secret. In this negotiation, the two parties do not need to produce any documents. As long as a basic consensus is reached, the relevant documents will not be officially signed until the next time Princess Xiao Liang arrives secretly in the Northern Jin Dynasty. .

In order to keep it secret, Yu Qingze and Cen Zhenben did not discuss this matter in the official office, but negotiated in Yu Qingze's mansion.

The content is nothing more than some obligations and responsibilities after the alliance between the two parties. Basically, it is good for the two brothers. No matter who makes the move, Northern Jin or Xiao Liang must immediately rescue.

This negotiation went quite smoothly. After all, the Northern Jin Dynasty and Xiao Liang had no conflicts, and there were quite a lot of common interests.

After talking about everything, Cen Zhenben also seized the opportunity to get close to Yu Qingze.He has found out clearly that Yu Qing is now the Minister of Internal History, a confidant of King Zhao, and will be an important minister of the Northern Jin Dynasty in the future. Maintaining a good relationship will be of great benefit to the cooperation between the Northern Jin Dynasty and Xiao Liang in the future.

In addition, Yu Qing is also from Jiangnan, born in the Yu family in Jiangnan, the son of Yu Shinan, the minister of rites in the former emperor's dynasty, and the great calligrapher Yu Shinan, which invisibly narrowed the distance between the two southerners.

Cen Zhenben said with emotion: "Your Majesty once invited your father to be an official in the court, and I don't want your father to refuse."

"My father is old and has no intention of going to court." Yu Qing replied indifferently.

I think that when the king raised his troops, he wrote a letter asking his father to come to Taiyuan, but his father refused.

Seeing that Yu Qing didn't seem to want to talk about Yu Shinan, Cen Zhenben also changed the subject, and the two gave each other high hats and flattered each other.

After the meeting ended, Cen Zhenben left the mansion, and Yu Shinan was still thinking about his father.

Since the world was in chaos, he hadn't been back to Jiangnan, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back to see his father.
