Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 328 An Unreliable Idea
Yang Shangyang finished all he knew in one breath, and then looked at Zhang Zhe eagerly.

As a 17-year-old boy, he was really at a loss for knowing such a major national event all of a sudden.The situation where Da Zheng was the enemy of the whole world made him panic even more.

Unaware that the other party has just turned 20 years old.

Yes, not long ago, Zhang Zhe spent his 20th birthday in this post house and became a real champion.

Yang Shangyang's expectations were not unreasonable. Zhang Zhe just lost his composure after hearing the information about Nan Wu, and quickly calmed down.Yang Shangyang originally thought that Zhang Zhe would ask him about the details of these matters, but Zhang Zhe stared into his eyes and asked something else.

"Little brother, did you take the initiative to ask these things, or did someone else take the initiative to tell you?"

Yang Shangyang is not a fool. Although Zhang Zhe asked calmly, his heart couldn't help but beat secretly.He understood what the second brother meant, and almost without any thought, Yang Shangyang answered Zhang Zhe's question in the most calm tone.

"Our Shizhong Temple is the place closest to the emperor's grandfather in the court. All memorials and edicts will be kept here. Naturally, I won't ask around foolishly. It's just a chat with everyone, and I'm full. Ear. I took these news to ask my second brother, because I was afraid that your news would not go well, and I would say something wrong when persuading everyone in Su. Besides, my younger brother is also really worried about the alliance of the six countries. Will I, Da Zheng,..."

Hearing that it wasn't Yang Shangyang who took the initiative to dive into the water, Zhang Zhe smiled in relief.

"What will happen?" He patted Yang Shangyang on the shoulder, "Stop worrying about the sky here. It is said that the six countries unite to destroy Zheng, but they are doing their own things. They are all greedy for a little profit in front of them, and they will not achieve anything. From Brother Yu’s point of view, this time is just like the six-nation alliance more than ten years ago, at most suppressing my Dazheng for a few years. Destroying Zheng? I don’t think they even thought about it.”

Hearing this, Yang Shangyang, who had been full of alarmist talk for a long time, finally looked excited.

"Little brother, the past few days have been full of talk about the country's danger and danger. Not to mention the adults of our Shizhong Temple, even the other officials have all said that the situation is extremely critical. I don't know why my brother came to this conclusion. Can you explain a thing or two to my little brother?"

"Hehe, if the Six Kingdoms really have something in mind for Da Zheng, then Chen Guo and Wei Guo's army will not go to besiege You'an and Beihai, but will join forces and march westward with all their strength, and suppress the prince together with the generation. I couldn't breathe. If there was no military horse controlled by the prince in the first battle, Dazheng's entire north bank of the Yellow River would have no mobile troops and could only defend passively. The two thirteen counties of Yannan and Hedong will fall into the hands of the generation. Therefore, the two countries of Chen and Wei are clearly using their troops in the way that is most beneficial to them, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to plot the land of several counties in the country. Besides, Facing Chen and Wei, Haidong Dao and Yunyou Dao have a complete defense system. If it is just a simple defense of Chen and Wei, it will not be a problem to last for more than half a year. If the generation is repelled, Chen and Wei will inevitably withdraw their troops, so The battle in the east of the river is the center of gravity in the north."

Yang Shangyang couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "The crown prince is firmly on both sides of the river, and has three camps in a row. He also has the advantage of sailing a boat, and can advance and retreat freely. Although the generation is brave, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack the river bank and hills!"

"So the key point is the reinforcements from the south," Zhang Zhe pointed to the guide Fang and explained, "Whether it is the [-] elite soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River or the [-] infantry in the southwest, once they can get out and reach Hedong, they don't need to fight against each other. advance, the cavalry of the generation will be slowly squeezed out of the east of the river. The number of soldiers in the generation is small, which is its biggest weakness and cannot be changed."

"No wonder the emperor's grandfather was so furious when he heard that the main force on Jiangnan East Road was entangled by Wu and Cai! However, if the troops from Jiangnan or Southwest were really transferred, would the three countries in the south kill the Yangtze River in one go?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Zhe came from the south, and he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the south.

"Let's talk about Wu State, which is known as the second most powerful country in the world. The civil strife seems to have subsided a lot, but in fact it is temporarily suppressed. The blood feud between the Chen family and the Zhao family royal family represents that the conflict of interests among the Jiangnan families has come to an end. It is impossible to negotiate. Those aristocratic families and the forces behind the bandits have not been settled for a day, and Southern Wu dare not let the main force of the royal family leave the country. As for Cai, it does not border with my Dazheng. This time the troops are only worried about Southern Wu The cession of land is too much, so that its border is also bordering Dazheng. If the Jiangbei attacking Dazheng is to take chestnuts for the Southern Wu, Cai Guo will not be so stupid!"

In the end, Zhang Zhe sneered when he mentioned Southwest.

"As for Xilu, even though he stationed troops on the other side of the West River, it was just for show. In my opinion, Zou Tianyang's defeat was a bit inexplicable, and the rebellion of the white barbarians was also without warning. There is a high probability that several parties secretly colluded together to weaken the big army. That's all Zheng."

"Zou Tianyang dares to do this?"

"Why not? The imperial court sends people to urge his army to march westward into the hinterland of Xilu every month, but he always makes small troubles, fearing that his strength will be damaged. This time, he deliberately lost for a while with a tacit understanding, and then turned around." Pretending to act with the white barbarians. However, Zou Tianyang and Xi Lu can't really reconcile at all, so Xi Lu will never really fight Dazheng before Zou Tianyang is eradicated."

Yang Shangyang was dumbfounded by these words.

"So, this situation is just looking at the crisis?"

"No," Yang Shangyang suddenly thought of something, "Even if the troops in Jiangnan and Southwest are not available, there are still county soldiers from other provincial roads that can be recruited. The fortress Xujin is already there, and the county soldiers don't seem to be weak."

Zhang Zhe glanced at him sideways: "County soldiers? Hehe, there are four elites in the country, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army and the three frontier troops in Jiangnan, Beidi, and Southwest are all sharp weapons in the hands of His Majesty, and the Gyeonggi County soldiers are not a battle that will destroy the country." Otherwise, they will never be mobilized. The remaining county soldiers on the inland provinces only practice for three years, what can they do? Of course, some of these county soldiers also practice frequently, but the money for these county soldiers' exercises is probably not from the imperial court. , do you understand?"

When Yang Shangyang heard this, he seemed to understand something.

"Brother, are you alluding to several Uncle Wangs?"

"The attack of the six nations on Zheng is just an appearance. Inside, the biggest hidden dangers of our Dazheng are against His Majesty's collective counterattack." Zhang Zhe really didn't worry about the so-called alliance of the six nations at all, and simply explained the mystery in one sentence. "Think about it, those seven uncles of yours have seized the throne for nearly 20 years, and the ties of interests formed by each of them are intertwined and spread all over the government and the public. How could it be possible for your grandfather to disintegrate with an edict to establish a crown prince?"

"Second brother, isn't he saying that this is really something that some other princes did?" Yang Shangyang was incredulous, "You princes are the princes of my Dazheng, how can you mobilize the soldiers and horses of the six kingdoms?"

"It's false to talk about mobilization, but it's just using power to lure each other and using benefits to lure each other. If there is no internal response from the people in the country, the six countries will not respond so simply. When the king of Zhao died and his majesty appointed a grandson, he also denounced him. After King Qi and King Han, Dazheng has no more princes who have the right to inherit. This means that Guozuo has been sent to the prince's line. Therefore, many people are not reconciled! Think about the natural danger Keshan Pass How did it get lost? Who opened the gate of Qing County, and why did Prince Changshi believe that the prince will be attacked at night?"

Yang Shangyang only felt his scalp explode, and couldn't help but began to hate his real background again.

The royal family is so dangerous!
"The Southwest and Jiangnan can't be transferred, the imperial forest has been transferred to the north, and the troops of Gyeonggi County can't be moved. How can we solve this situation? It's not a problem if it drags on."

Zhang Zhe didn't answer Yang Shangyang's question.He had guessed a possibility a long time ago, but the matter was too big, and he still needed some evidence.

"Little brother, I heard that you and the prince are now living in Lanxiu Palace. I don't know how the royal court of Jingzhong County is preparing?"

When Yang Shangyang heard him ask this, he replied truthfully indifferently: "A few days ago, the Luanyi Guards confiscated many official residences, and the emperor's grandfather referred to the residence of the former Zhao Wangfu as the county prince's residence. That mansion is too big, but grandma thinks it is too small and old, so she only let us stay in Lanxiu Palace to accompany her old man."

Zhang Zhe nodded: "It's normal for the imperial concubine to love you father and son, but compared to other county palaces, Zhao Wangfu's mansion is indeed too small."

"It's not small, and besides, I heard that the county prince's mansion in Zhaoyang is very big, and it was rebuilt as the residence of the Lord of Wu. The emperor's grandfather will not favor one person over another. Before this autumn has passed, the emperor's grandfather sent someone to send off my father and me. Among them, there are several former charcoal stoves for dehumidification in spring, all of which are auspicious animals and made of bronze. I know that the third sister is the favorite of these ancient relics, and I will ask my brother to forward them on my behalf. A few sets are for the third sister. It's a pity that the old lady is not feeling well this time, and the third sister and the others can't leave until spring begins. I don't know if the third sister will be able to use these things at that time?"

Yang Shangyang couldn't stop talking when he thought of Gu Shuyi, and he realized it after nagging for a while. It seemed a little rude to talk about the other girl in front of others. He was a little embarrassed, but found that Zhang Zhe had obviously lost his mind.

"What's wrong, brother, what are you thinking?"

Zhang Zhe came back to his senses, stared at Yang Shangyang and said quietly: "Ask someone to deliver it to the third younger sister? According to someone, the younger brother should deliver it by himself. Anyway, it's on the way."

"By the way?" Yang Shangyang was counting the days of Gu Shuyi's arrival in Beijing with his fingers, but Zhang Zhe's words once again confused him.

"Send you something for winter, His Majesty wants to keep you in Beijing for the winter, but the dehumidifier used in spring is not something from the Chang'an People's Association, it is something that is only available in our Jiangnan area. I guess, you and The Eighth Prince will go to Jiufan before spring at most. Why is the third sister coming to Chang'an? When you go to Zhaoyang, don't you pass by Jiangling?"

"Brother, this is just a joke," Yang Shangyang laughed. "The princes have lived in Beijing for these years, and they didn't go to Fan. Where would the grandfather drive us father and son to Jiangnan alone. Besides, Fan is just a fan." Name, the county has its own sheriff and lieutenant of the imperial court, if we go to others, we will feel embarrassed."

"There's a saying called "Seeing Weizhi," Zhang Zhe got up and took a few steps, "The county palace in Beijing is too casual, and it doesn't meet the importance His Majesty attaches to your father and son, but the imperial concubine has no objection. Let you stay in Lanzhou Xiu Palace can only be regarded as a temporary residence, but the place is chosen to be in the Prince's Mansion of the Daxiu Domain, plus the Jiangnan Spring Dehumidification Stove I gave you, don't you understand?"

Yang Shangyang was stunned for a long time, but finally showed a hint of joy.

"That's fine! I live in Chang'an City, and I'm always terrified every day. I can live a happy life when I go there. My brother also has Zhuangzi in Xiaxiushan County, Zhaoyang County. If you don't know, can you take the third sister here?" Stay for a few days. Hey hey hey?"

For Yang Shangyang, all eyes are on Gu Shuyi, Zhang Zhe is moved and angry.

"Live a happy life? Don't even think about it!" Zhang Zhe said angrily again, "Don't forget the strategy we will try to make, Your Majesty has never said that he has given up his plan to become a king on the ground. In the current situation, the best way to break the situation is to push this matter further, divide the kings to various border counties, and prepare the army as the first line to resist the countries. In this way, those who are secretly manipulated Skilled county soldiers can be dispatched to border counties with confidence, and no one will collude with the six kingdoms to bring about their own destruction, unless they are all willing to sacrifice their own land first! It is to encourage the kings to expand to the enemy's country, and from then on, the two will never die."

Yang Shangyang immediately bowed his head and counted the fiefdoms of the kings, and found that it was exactly as Zhang Zhe said.

After the former king of Zhao left, his son was named the king of Hai'an County. Hai'an County was the county newly acquired by the Dazheng Southern Expedition Army and was bordering on Southern Wu. King Qi was demoted to be the King of Dengyang County, and Dengyang County was also on the same side as Shangwei. The king of Han was reduced to the king of Banan County, and even a county in Banan County was occupied by Xilu State; Tai'an County, the fiefdom of Tai'an County King, is not far from You'an County, which is being besieged by Chen Guojun; Linsi County, the feudal land of the county king, happened to be stuck in the east of Hengshan County. If the generation broke Hengshan, it would be Linsi's next turn; and the Hedong County of the Seventh Prince is the most dangerous at the moment. Qing County has been lost. Jingqi may move eastward to attack Hedong County at any time.

If His Majesty really seals the kings, I am afraid that the kings will send all their strength to the fiefs, desperately resisting this round of siege from the six kingdoms.From this point of view, it is really very possible!
Yang Shangyang immediately widened his eyes in horror.

"No! I don't want to go to Zhaoyang to die. Where did my father and I get the manpower and horses? Besides, we don't understand military and government affairs at all. Isn't this going to put my father and son in a desperate situation?!"

"Don't worry," Zhang Zhe comforted him lightly, "Although Zhaoyang is the gateway to Jinling, the line from Hai'an to Jinling is the barn and foundation of Wu State. That piece of land is safe for both countries. It can be defended, so Wu Guo's soldiers and horses will give priority to stationing on the front line of Tuojiang and Hai'an. Zhaoyang County is too dangerous, and there is Jiangling's support behind it. The father and son guarding Zhaoyang must be an elite army."

"That's just a possibility!" Yang Shangyang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, "If Wu Guo knew, no! They must know that our father and son have no power or power, and most importantly It's so deceitful, why didn't you come to take Zhaoyang?"

"If you're really worried, Brother Wei has a not-so-reliable idea here, do you want to hear it?"

"Brother, just say what you want, no matter what the idea is, I will never spread it to the outside world!"

"Look, among the six kingdoms, aren't we talking with Wu Guo? One of them is to send Master Su to be someone else's concubine. Hey, this country of Wu is not willing to let the feuding Master Su go to Southern Wu. He disliked her being a clan with a foreign surname, and even said that half of Zhaoyang County would be returned to Wu Guo as the dowry of Master Su. You said, if uncle recognized Master Su under his knees, the whole county of Zhaoyang would be the other party's dowry. Is Wu Guo still willing to come and take it?"

Yang Shangyang was taken aback, this idea is indeed a little unreliable, but it also seems to have some truth.
