Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1877: The Two Hungry Dogs of Da Cang, the River Transport Envoy, the Southern Expedition Will Finally Begin

Given the current situation of the Master, with Xuanyuan Huang still not recovered from the poisoning and unable to even go to the front line, once Prince Jing begins to demonstrate his advantage in hard power, he will no longer be as greedy and reckless as before.

Next, the situation of this war naturally tilted in one direction.

Even if there are any twists and turns in the middle, it is difficult to affect the overall situation.

Therefore, the other party in the alliance could no longer sit still.

Tianshi Dao and Wei Wang, it’s not that the relationship between the leaders of these two sects is very good!
In fact, Huangfu Guhan and Xuanyuan Huang don't actually think highly of each other.

However, the alliance between the two families is still quite solid.

There is no other reason, it's just because of the close relationship between their two families.

Both families are surrounded by powerful enemies: Wang Yu to the north, Huangfu Guyuan to the west, and next to them is the Zhennan Army, which is a little less visible but definitely cannot be ignored.

If the two families had not supported each other, they would never have survived to this day.

Don't underestimate this time. King Wei actually only sent out 50,000 troops. For King Wei, who had 250,000 troops, at least in terms of quantity, it was far from being an all-out effort.

But this time, King Wei Huangfu Guhan really tried his best.

The total number of troops under your command and the number of troops you can deploy are two completely different things.

Once troops are dispatched, the first thing to consider is logistics.

If even the most basic logistics cannot be guaranteed, this team will collapse before even reaching the battlefield.

It was still thanks to those people from Tianshidao who attempted to massacre the Nangong family, but the trouble it brought to both Tianshidao and King Wei made it impossible for King Wei to send more troops even if he wanted to.

Being able to dispatch these 50,000 troops was already his limit, and he had to tighten his belt and grit his teeth to come up with this.

If there are more, then we will not be helping Xuanyuan Huang, but will be cheating both families together.

Wang Yu nodded and asked, "Regarding the war south of the river, how do you think the court should respond?"

"Xuanyuan Huang was assassinated. The problems that have been suppressed within the Tianshi Dao have begun to erupt little by little."

"The Tianshi Dao failed to repel Huangfu Guyuan in the first place, so there is no chance of winning this battle!"

"Now, even if we get the help of the mighty king, how can two vicious dogs that are about to die of starvation fight against a tiger?"

“Even if it’s a paper tiger, it’s still a tiger!”

Yao Guangxiao said confidently, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. I'm sure that soon, the Song court in the east and west of the Guanzhong area will also be unable to sit still!"

"Yes, Song Ting will be unable to sit still next!
“Tianshi Dao and Huangfu Guhan are just two vicious dogs!”

"In the past, with his bravery, he was able to fight against the paper tiger in Henan!"

"But now it's a hungry dog, how can you fight it?"

"Once Tianshi Dao and Huangfu Guhan are defeated, the Zhennan Army will be unable to stand alone. It is only a matter of time before it is annexed by the one in Henan!" Zhang Bin nodded in agreement.

With the previous lesson in mind, if there is such an opportunity this time, Huangfu Guyuan will never let the Zhennan Army go easily. At that time, he will definitely use all means to strengthen the control over this force.

And by that time, what room would the Zhennan Army have for resistance?

After all, once the situation really developed to that point, and Huangfu Guyuan really dealt with Tianshi Dao and Huangfu Guhan, the Zhennan Army at that time could be said to be surrounded by Huangfu Guyuan on three sides, with the remaining side still being the Daqian side.

Once Huangfu Guyuan really achieves this, and waits for him to recuperate for a few years, then the situation of the two strongest people in Da Cang will be over again.

However, Huangfu Guyuan did not have the opportunity to develop to this level.

When it comes to world affairs, one step at a time, one step at a time!

Since he had already been shaken off the situation of the two powerful men from Da Cang by Wang Yu, there was absolutely no way that they, the big men, would sit idly by and watch the other side catch up!

Previously, Wang Yu could secretly help Prince Jing in order to make their battle last longer.

But when necessary, you can naturally give the other party a kick.

Not to mention, the Han people would not sit idly by and watch Huangfu Guyuan reach this point, and the Song court in the west would not sit idly by and watch Huangfu Guyuan reach this point either.

If Huangfu Guyuan really came to this point, the first to take action would definitely be the small court of Hexi Road in the west or the Song court, and not the Han Dynasty.

There is no other reason. Even if the other party really reaches this step, at most they can be a strong pair of Da Cang, and it is impossible for them to really surpass the Han people.

At this time, when choosing the next opponent, it is of course impossible to directly choose the opponent who is equally matched with you.

If two equally powerful opponents fight, and both are injured, the two relatively weaker ones will take advantage of them.

At this time, according to the normal thinking of people, of course they would devour the two weak ones next to them first, and use the means of devouring these two weak ones to enhance their own strength. After they become stronger, they will defeat the opponent who was originally evenly matched with them.

Therefore, the Song court in the west would naturally be anxious.

Not to mention, the three of them were originally in an alliance.

"Xuanyuan Huang is a man with the appearance of a saint. It is inappropriate to compare him to a hungry dog!" Wang Yu shook his head!

If Xuanyuan Huang had not been leading the Tianshi Dao, a force that had various problems from the beginning, which had delayed him for too long in the beginning and hindered him from time to time, otherwise, if he had been replaced by any other force in Da Cang, I am afraid that the current situation in Da Cang would have changed drastically.

"How can Xuanyuan Huang alone change the current situation of the Heavenly Master?"

"Although Xuanyuan Huang is not a dog, Tianshi is just a dog!" Zhang Bin explained.

Xuanyuan Huang may be able to solve the problems of Tianshi Dao, but reality will not give him so much time to solve the problems of Tianshi Dao.

In fact, Xuanyuan Huang has been trying to find ways to solve the problems of Tianshi Dao all along, and it has been very effective. At least, the problem of Tianshi Dao's weak foundation has been made up for a lot thanks to Xuanyuan Huang's continuous efforts.

However, they still have other problems within the company.

Of course, this should not be just a problem within the Tianshi Dao faction. The vast majority of forces in the world have such problems, it’s just a matter of greater or lesser magnitude.

Xuanyuan Huang's rise to the top of the Tianshi Dao was not smooth sailing from the beginning. In fact, there were quite a few veterans ahead of him.

However, Xuanyuan Huang surpassed these people and ascended to the position of the leader of Tianshi Dao with the support of Zhang Lingmo. When he first came to power, there was a power struggle within Tianshi Dao.

And it is obvious that at that time, Xuanyuan Huang also solved the internal problems very well and solidified his identity as the leader of the Tianshi Dao.

After that, he relied on his own methods to gain even greater prestige in the Tianshi Sect, and the original discords could no longer affect his status.

However, these things were just suppressed, and perhaps began to fade away little by little, but in the end, they still did not completely disappear.

At least, because Xuanyuan Huang was assassinated, he was also recuperating in his mansion at this time, trying every means to detoxify, and his control over the Tianshi Dao was reduced. As a result, some of the original problems began to resurface.

Therefore, Zhang Bin described it as a dog.

It doesn’t mean that Xuanyuan Huang is a dog, but that Xuanyuan Huang of Tianshidao is a dog.

Some people within the Tianshi Dao did hold Xuanyuan Huang back a lot. The crisis caused by the Nangong family was actually caused by Xuanyuan Huang being betrayed by his own people.

"But no matter what happens to Xuanyuan Huang and Huangfu Guhan?"

"The Han Dynasty will never sit idly by!"

"Mengsun, you are appointed as the river transport envoy. You are required to mobilize grain and grass from all over the Han Dynasty and build granaries in Ningping and Ningyang in preparation for the war next year!" Wang Yu ordered.

If we really want to go south next year, it will definitely be a protracted battle.

Once this battle begins, the next battle for the unification of the Eighteen Paths of Da Cang will also begin.

Faced with such a protracted and large-scale war, a lot of preparations need to be made in advance, and food and fodder are the most important ones.

Ningping and Ningyang, two places north of the river, will become the two most important grain and grass transportation centers at that time.

These two places not only have the danger of a large river to the south, but are also conducive to the safety of food and fodder.

Moreover, because it is close to Henan Road, at that time, it can most conveniently provide food and grass for the next unification war, the most important battlefield in Henan Road.

Therefore, if we really want to send troops next year, then this matter must be arranged in advance.

Of course, doing this action in a high-profile manner now is deliberately showing the intention to take action against Huangfu Guyuan next.

This made him feel fearful and unable to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with the Tianshi Dao.

For Wang Yu, south of the river, he wanted them to do everything they could to stay in the midst of war as much as possible.

However, it must be said that after absorbing the remaining forces of Huangfu Mingzhao's court, Huangfu Guyuan's family background is indeed very strong.

Moreover, the other party also controls the Henan Road in the area of ​​four rivers.

The land of the Four Rivers was originally the richest place in Da Cang. As the place where the imperial capital Tianjing was located, Henan Province was even more so, even in the land of the Four Rivers, it was ranked first.

The land of Four Rivers is a battleground for Da Cang. Although Wang Yu has already taken two of them, he is still salivating over the remaining two.

Let me put it this way, if we can take over the land of the Four Rivers, even if things don't go smoothly during the subsequent campaigns, or even if we encounter some huge setbacks, we will still have the confidence to make a comeback.

In other words, once you control the Four Rivers, such an important territory, you will have the ability to lose more times than others.

Even in the case of Wei, Shu and Wu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, as the leader, had the confidence to lose again and again, but on the other hand, the other two would be seriously damaged if they lost a battle.

………………

Wenhua Hall is a place that Wang Yu focused on designing when he was building the imperial palace.

Because this place is not used for anything else, it is where the princes study.

Of course, there were not many princes at that time who were qualified to use the Wenhua Palace, and only the eldest son, Wang Yuan. As for Wang Zhi, the eldest son, it was useless for him to come here at his age.

Although Wang Yu had arranged a teacher for the crown prince and a teacher for his two sons, not to mention that Zhuge Liang was still far away in Dongyi at that time, even Guan Zhong had to preside over the reform. How could he have so much time to keep an eye on a little brat every day?

And given the prince's current age, there is no need for them to teach him personally. It will be enough to gather together and find someone to provide him with enlightenment education.

When the princes are a little older, they will be really useful.

And within the Wenhua Palace, the person in charge of the prince's education should be Huang Qian, a famous Confucian scholar in Da Cang.

In and outside the palace, apart from some palace servants and guards, there was only the master and his apprentice, which looked a bit deserted. He raised his hand to the eunuch who was saluting and made a gesture to silence him, then stood under the curtain and observed the situation inside.

Huang Qian was holding a book and leading the princes in reading. He was studying the Analects of Confucius: "The Master said: 'A gentleman does not seek to be full when he eats, nor does he seek to be comfortable when he lives. He is quick in action and cautious in speech. He follows the Way and is upright in his conduct. He can be said to be studious.'"

Wang Yu had inquired and found out that Huang Qian's teaching to the princes was still at the enlightenment stage, mainly teaching "Thousand Character Classic", "Book of Filial Piety", and "Analects of Confucius".

These things are also the most common and practical enlightenment reading materials in Da Cang.

From the royal families and aristocratic families of the dynasties to the ordinary people, most of the things they first read and came into contact with were actually these.

However, in Wang Yu's opinion, there are still too few enlightenment books.

In view of this, Wang Yu has ordered the scholars of each palace to compile a book suitable for children's enlightenment, and put forward requirements according to the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names". There is no other way. He can't do this kind of thing himself, right? He can only ask the erudite scholars in the court to customize it.

The eldest son, Wang Yuan, was active by nature. While following the great scholar in reciting, he also looked around. He immediately noticed Wang Yu standing behind him. His dark eyes lit up, but when he saw his father's serious expression, he was startled and his attitude immediately straightened up.

The prince's strange behavior naturally attracted the attention of Huang Qian, who was in charge of teaching. He looked over and stopped reading immediately.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Qian came forward.

Wang Yu certainly would not neglect the prince's education.

Huang Qian is a well-known scholar outside Da Cang. He taught at Shangyin Academy for ten years and was specially invited by Wang Yu.

Prince Wang Yuan also took small steps forward to pay his respects.

"Huang Qing, please don't be polite!" Wang Yu looked at Huang Qian leniently and said, "Sorry to interrupt your teaching!"

"Your Majesty is serious!"
