I, make my own

Chapter 65

October [-]th, Qianqing Palace.

When Zhou Xin was having breakfast with several concubines, Zhu Gaoyang and Bai Wudang came hand in hand with hurried expressions.

"Report to Your Majesty, the battle of Pingyuan Wangfan has begun!"

Hearing this, several imperial concubines were startled. When they looked at Zhou Xin, they saw Zhou Xin's face was calm, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

"Show me, Tai Chi Hall."

Zhou Xin gave an order, then wiped his mouth with a silk cloth, stood up unhurriedly and walked out.

"In addition, call the Prime Minister, the Minister of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to enter the palace immediately!"

"only!"

After Zhou Xin left, several concubines looked at each other with different expressions.

"King Pingyuan started a rebellion?"

Su Xiaoye waited for a long while, but seeing that no one spoke, he finally couldn't help but speak out first.

Yan Youwei rolled her eyes, shook her head and said, "Impossible, with King Pingyuan alone, how could he dare to rebel? Isn't that courting death?"

"What's more, just now, Director Zhu made it very clear that the war took place inside the Pingyuan Royal Domain."

Su Xiaoye was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"So, there is civil turmoil? Hee hee, this is good news~"

Yan Youwei pouted, but didn't answer.

Sang Wen'er rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "It seems that His Majesty's order to extend grace has already worked. This is indeed good news."

Xue Zhichun and Qin Ziyi nodded repeatedly, but Xiao Zirong frowned.

"It's not that simple. The civil strife in Pingyuan's vassal is likely to affect the whole body. No matter what the court does, other vassals will not watch quietly."

"There are also those foreign enemies. If my big week is chaotic, they will not be indifferent."

Yan Youwei nodded in agreement, "That's right, as far as the court is concerned, it's a blessing or a curse."

"My Great Zhou Dynasty is actually like a volcano that has not yet erupted. This incident may be a signal, a signal that a volcano is about to erupt completely!"

"To tell you the truth, I seem to have seen corpses everywhere and blood flowing on oars."

"The catastrophe is coming..."

After listening to Yan Youwei's words, the moods and expressions of the concubines could not help but sink.

If His Majesty loses control of the situation, or even...then one can imagine what will happen to them.

Xiao Zirong frowned and stared at Yan Youwei, and said in a deep voice: "The overall situation of the imperial court is not something we should interfere with or speculate on our own, so don't talk nonsense in the future."

"I believe in Your Majesty, as long as His Majesty is here, the sky will not collapse this week!"

"Yes, sister Rong is right."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat depressed, Sang Wen'er hurriedly smoothed things over and changed the subject.

"Hey, why don't you see Sister Wan today?"

"Maybe it's because you're not feeling well. Let's go to Lama Temple later?"

Qin Ziyi said.

"it is good."

……

Tai Chi Temple.

"Your Majesty, the Silla Dynasty has learned of the civil strife in the plains. They should not let go of this god-given opportunity. We must guard against it."

Zhu Gaoyang reported softly, with worry in his eyes.

"Silla……"

Zhou Xin squinted his eyes, although his expression was solemn, he was not afraid.

Although the Silla Dynasty had no vassals to constrain it and had a larger army, its military strength and fighting spirit were the weakest in the Nine Kingdoms.

Moreover, the Silla Dynasty is like a dog. It jumps up and down violently on weekdays, and will bark non-stop when it gets the chance.

But once it hurts, it will curl up in the cage, whimper and beg for mercy.

For hundreds of years, if Dazhou and Dachu didn't want Silla to be captured by each other, and each time they helped and restrained each time at a critical moment, Silla would have been wiped out seven or eight times.

Even so, the territory of the Silla Dynasty has shrunk by nearly 300% compared to [-] years ago.

"What do you think?"

After contemplating for a while, Zhou Xin looked at Yuan Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War who was first called in.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Silla Dynasty will definitely send troops, and they will land by sea from Chichuan Beach where King Pingyuan's Dongwei is stationed."

Yuan Xing responded quickly, apparently already had a draft in mind.

"After all, our army's border gates are tightly guarded, and they have suffered too much there. Even if the border army has transferred some troops, they may not have the courage to attack."

"But Chichuan Beach is different. There is only a thousand-man garrison in the Pingyuan East Guard Station. If they capture Chichuan Beach, they can attack and retreat. It is a good choice."

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, "What does Ai Qing think, how should the court respond?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the two naval divisions of Dongsheng and Anfeng should be dispatched to cruise and inspect the southern waters of Chichuan Beach, and then the soldiers under King Qing and the main force of Dongsheng's frontier army should be dispatched to Chichuan Beach to defend against enemy invasion."

"As for the Pingyuan King, we should dispatch the Tiger Ben Army or the Hu Wei Army to suppress it quickly, take the opportunity to take back the vassal land, and abolish the Pingyuan King's vassal position!"

Hearing Yuan Xing's suggestion, Zhu Gaoyang couldn't help frowning.

"Yuan Shangshu, the Dongsheng frontier army and Qingwang vassal soldiers have made a huge movement, and this must not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Silla Dynasty."

"Furthermore, King Qing is in a state of mind. If there is a fight, if he just sits on the sidelines, or reversely stabs Dongsheng's frontier army, then..."

Yuan Xing smiled slightly with a calm expression.

"What we want is to let Silla's eyes and ears know. As long as the Silla Dynasty knows that Dazhou is prepared and that there are enough troops waiting in Chichuantan, they will not dare to invade again."

"As for King Qing, the Silla Dynasty would not know what King Qing was planning. Even if King Qing sent them a letter to cooperate with others, they would not dare to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops."

"The top priority of the imperial court today is to flatten the feudal clan. Wars with other countries should be avoided as much as possible."

After listening to Yuan Xing's explanation, Zhu Gaoyang could not help but cup his fists in admiration.

"As expected of Yuan Shangshu! I'm thinking too shallowly."

"Don't dare, some superficial views are nothing."

Yuan Xing saluted modestly, then looked at Zhou Xin.

"Your Majesty thinks this is a good way to deal with it?"

"Yuan Shangshu's strategy is wonderful, steady and sophisticated."

Zhou Xin nodded in approval first, then shook his head again.

"However, I have another idea."

"It is inevitable for the imperial court to flatten the feudal clan. In the process, the surrounding tigers and wolves will inevitably wait for an opportunity to attack. Therefore, my Dazhou needs to show its fangs at the right time to create a certain deterrent for them."

"Even if they can't make them intimidated, we must hurt one side first, so that they will be frightened and hesitant, so that they will not dare to attack again in the future, so as to reduce the pressure on the court."

"Since the Silla Dynasty is the first to join in, let's take advantage of the situation and kill it!"

Yuan Xing was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head and pondered for a while, then nodded seriously.

"Your Majesty's intention is very good, so how does Your Majesty plan to arrange it?"

"The Dongsheng frontier army should not move to prevent Silla from shifting its target. At the same time, it must also guard against King Qing's rebellion. On the side of the navy, the Changgen navy must guard against the Iron Shou Dynasty, so they can't move, so according to what you said, you can only Tune the two naval divisions of Dongsheng and Anfeng."

"However, the mission of the navy is not to prevent the opponent from landing, but to block the retreat after the opponent lands, close the door and beat the dog!"

"On land, first, [-] Anfeng frontier troops can be transferred out of the camp on the grounds of quelling civil strife on the plain, and then secretly transferred to the dense forest on the west side of Chichuan Beach to hide and hide."

"Secondly, I will order the Huben army to leave the camp tonight and quietly rush to the hills east of Chichuan Beach to hide."

"Thirdly, the Tiqi Guards will leave the city tonight and stand by in the canyon ten miles north of Chichuan Beach."

"When the Silla army landed more than halfway, the Huben Army and the Anfeng Frontier Army can take advantage of the situation and fight out. At the same time, people continue to beat drums and wave flags, creating the illusion of hundreds of thousands of troops."

"In this way, the army of Silla will be frightened and suspicious, and then the Tiqi guards will charge from the front and drive straight in. Not to mention the army of Silla, or the army of Jin Ge, there is a high probability that they will throw away their helmets and armor and panic. flee!"

"Finally, the navy will attack from behind. Even if they can't wipe them all out, they can still cause heavy damage to the enemy!"

"As for King Pingyuan, it won't be too late to take care of them after the army of Silla is settled."

After hearing Zhou Xin's strategy, Yuan Xing and Zhu Gaoyang couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Your Majesty is truly a god!"

Yuan Xing sighed with admiration, and then showed hesitation.

"If it is really deployed like this, we will definitely win a big victory! But, Your Majesty, in this way, the two armies of Hu Ben, Hu Wei, and Tiqi Guards will stay away, and only the city patrol army and the imperial guards will be left to guard the entire imperial capital. If... "

Zhou Xin smiled lightly and shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, the defense of the imperial capital is empty, which is part of my plan."

Although Yuan Xing didn't know the inside story, but after knowing that this was His Majesty's plan, he stopped dissuading him.

"Okay, let's invite them in together."

Zhou Xin looked at Leng Yun and gave an order.

"Yes."

Not long after Leng Yun left, Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing, Minister of Household Affairs Han Xingde, and Minister of Industry Sang Chengde entered the hall together.

"Come on, see Your Majesty!"

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the three of them straightened up, Lin Zhengqing glanced at Yuan Xing, who was on the side with a serious expression, and then cupped his hands towards Zhou Xin.

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers urgently, but what happened?"

Zhou Xin snorted coldly, and threw the two secret folds together in front of Lin Zhengqing.

"See for yourself!"

Lin Zhengqing hurriedly bent over to pick up the secret folder, and after reading the words on it, her expression instantly became serious.

Because it said the civil strife in Pingyuan Wangfan and related evidence that King Guo was preparing to rebel.

After handing the booklet to others, Lin Zhengqing said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, the court is in crisis at this time. Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers will devote themselves to it!"

After expressing his loyalty, Lin Zhengqing cautiously asked, "I don't know how His Majesty plans to deal with it?"

"The imperial court can't take care of the civil strife in the plain for the time being, so we can only dispatch [-] Anfeng frontier troops to contain it. Now we need to deal with King Guo first. I plan to order the Huwei army to pacify Ding, and send some Beicang frontier troops to support it."

Zhou Xin said with a sullen face, his expression was not very good-looking.

Lin Zhengqing's eyes flashed, and he respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty's words are true. However, the civil strife in Pingyuan is an excellent opportunity to abolish the Pingyuan King's vassal position. It would be a pity if the opportunity is missed and the Pingyuan King stabilizes the situation."

"Your Majesty, why don't you send the Tiger Army to go there?"

　Thank you (青ちやん) for your reward~
