Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 705 The pit is 132 meters deep and the situation is changing (5)
Under the calm appearance, the Nanrong court was like muddy water.

But at this moment, a letter from the north threw another big stone into the muddy water, which immediately stirred up thousands of waves——

On the tenth day, the Ju people dispatched more than [-] troops, led by Wan Yanxiu, the famous general of the Ju country, to march southward in two routes, advancing into Sichuan and Shaanxi, trying to control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and forming a siege to Nanrong.

It has been said for a long time that a war will start, but there has been no war, so the Pian people naturally have their concerns.

The reason for this menacing attack was that the political situation in Nanrong had changed. The previous emperor had just passed away and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. This juncture was a good opportunity.The second is that the deep winter is gradually going away, spring returns to the earth, and the vegetation recovers. The Pian people, who are mainly cavalry, can have enough forage to raise horses.

A turning point in history came just like that.

This battle was within everyone's expectations, but also beyond their expectations.

It coincided with the national funeral of Nanrong, and the ambition of the people was not dead, so they would naturally take the opportunity to go south. However, Xiyue and other countries also wanted to take advantage of this shareholder wind to get a piece of the pie, and they were eager to move on the border west of Nanrong.

The Nanrong court, which has not fought for a long time, has weak military equipment, panicked civil servants, and weak generals. However, when the enemy comes, they have to fight.On March [-]th, after the ministers "persuaded him to advance" for the third time, Song Xi accepted the congratulations from the ministers at the Jinrui Hall under the pressure of the war with the Ping Kingdom, and sacrificed to heaven and ancestors at Maoshi the next day, announcing to the world The subjects, following the emperor's position, changed to Yuan Jingchang.

At the same time, the Crown Princess Xie's Qing Shan was in the middle palace, bestowed with gold books and treasures, and her mother honored the world. She was the new Empress of Nanrong.

For the emperor and the courtiers, all the ministers who have "conformed to the dragon" also have their own rewards, so I won't repeat them here.The war is imminent, and all complicated affairs are simplified. On the second day of enthronement, Song Xi ascended to the Jinrui Hall, held a grand ceremony, was congratulated by the officials, and at the same time issued an imperial edict to raise troops to fight. Xiao Qian.

In the Jinrui Palace, all the ministers had no objection to this.

Wan Yanxiu is the prince of the Ping Kingdom, a well-known heavy general in the world, this time with an army of 20 going south, he is bound to win, one cannot be underestimated, only Xiao Qian is the only one who can fight against Nan Rong.As for Song Xi's early ascent to the Great Treasure, he had no other choice but to trust Xiao Qian.

Before the start of the war, Xiao Qian requested to send people to understand the enemy's situation. In order to avoid the enemy's back and forth, he and Song Xi, as discussed in advance, sent people to go north to contact Beimeng immediately, and prepared to counter the siege of the Pun people and attack the heart of Ping country. .

Regarding the alliance with Beimeng, some veterans in the court opposed it.

In their view, Beimeng was no different from the Pian people.

One is a jackal and the other is a tiger and leopard.It is not advisable to contact jackals to drive away tigers and leopards, one by one.Especially Xie's old party has doubts about Xiao Qianlian's fierce resistance to Fen.That night, several confidants and old ministers went to the imperial study to meet Song Xi, hinting that he should be cautious.

Xiao Qian's influence has infiltrated into Nan Rong's army and administration, the war is imminent, although he has to be used heavily, but if he is taken lightly, it is inevitable that he will become a tiger, and his tail will not be lost.

The veteran's worry was justified, but Song Xi was very persistent in his decision.

Not only did he trust Xiao Qian, but he also granted him the right to act arbitrarily in military and political affairs.

For a newly ascended and fledgling emperor, this is simply an act of death. Many old officials of the Xie family were terrified, fearing that his child would be short-sighted and follow Xiao Qian's way.However, Song Xi tried his best to reject all opinions and blocked their conversation.

In his opinion, it is a big taboo not to be suspicious of people, not to be suspicious of people, and to be suspicious of generals before using troops.
