Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Xia Kingdom Jinling City, the imperial palace is in the hall.

All the rest of the officials retreated, leaving only a few dozen important officials of the Xia Kingdom, Xia Huang Yu Zhaoling's confidantes and confidantes, staying in this hall at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy of Daxing County hastened to report. General Yun Di Qing led tens of thousands of troops to storm Xiaoguan and Sanguan, intending to invade the Weihe Plain and take Daxing County, which is an important place in our northern border!"

At this time, all the officials in the palace were Xia Guochao Tang Ying after all, but they did not show panic.However, all of them frowned, and their faces were extremely dignified.

Feng Chu immediately took a step forward and said:

"Yun General Di Qing is not from a hundred families, aristocratic families, or Jianghu sects. He has martial arts with a military atmosphere, is good at using swordsmanship, has a ninth-level cultivation, and has a good command of military strategies. He should be from the army!"

"When I was young, my family name was unknown. When I was young, I directly served in the Imperial Army of the Yun Kingdom and served as a school captain. When the Emperor Yun came to power, he was on the sidelines as a guard."

"Afterwards, because of suppressing the Buddhist rebellion in Yunguo, he moved to General Wu Xiang and took charge of Yongzhou Camp. In the following battles, he led his troops to capture Shaoyang County and encircle Jiangcheng County. He is also the governor of the left of the former military governor's office of the Yun Kingdom."

"This man's tactics are cunning and changeable. When he doesn't move, he is like a mountain. He sticks to Yongzhou and stands still. When he invades, he is like a fire. In less than a month, he captured 61 cities in Shaoyang County. Going into battle, brave and invincible, in the cloud army, the reputation is very high!"

Even though the Embroidery Envoy was suppressed by the East Factory and Sticky Pole, he couldn't lift his head, and he dared not show the slightest trace in the territory of Yunguo.

But similar to this, the detailed information of the main generals in the cloud is still extremely concerned!
After hearing Di Qing's information, the faces of all the officials in the palace were really not very good-looking.

Xia Huang's confidant, Zhu Fei'ang, who is a regular servant on Sanqi, frowned at this moment and said:

"This man's combat achievements are not as dazzling as Yunjiang Wu Zixu, but he is also a famous general in the world, so he should not be underestimated! Even though there is a pass outside Daxing County, he should not be careless."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly to mobilize soldiers and horses from the northern border to help Daxing County as soon as possible!"

At this time, Yu Zhaoling on the dragon chair lowered his eyes slightly, but his expression was not serious at all, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth instead.

"Xiangzhou County is finally using troops!"

At this time, Feng Chu also showed a smile, bowed slightly to Yu Zhaoling, and said:
"The Yun army stationed in Xiangzhou and Jiangyang counties totals no more than [-]."

"At this moment, Di Qing is not only going to lead his troops to storm Xiao and San Pass, but also divide his troops to garrison Jincheng Mansion to guard against my Da Xia Rui who is stationed in Xingqing Mansion, south of Xiangzhou County. Presumably, now, the defense line of the Yun Army is garrisoned. It's empty!"

The two monarchs and ministers looked relaxed at this time, and they seemed to be proud of the success of their scheme.It formed a very sharp contrast with the dignified and worried faces of Xia Guo's officials in the palace.

Old Sikong Meichong was stunned at this moment, and couldn't help but say:

"But Your Majesty, do you have other arrangements?"

Yu Zhaoling chuckled lightly, and said leisurely:
"When the Turks were defeated, I, Daxia, once gave the captured horses, armor, and some craftsmen to Tubo."

This point is to the point, not very clear.

But all the courtiers were smart people, and after thinking about it for a while, they immediately understood.

Your Majesty, it was two years ago that he had made a secret agreement with Tubo, just for this battle between Yun and Xia!
A courtier pondered for a moment, but couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, two years ago, my Great Xia fought against the Kingdom of Yun. At that time, Tubo flatly rejected my Great Xia's request to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Yun!"

At the beginning of the war between Yun and Xia, Xia Guo invited Tubo to send troops to carve up Yun Guo.It's just that Abandoned Nie Qi at that time, after seeing the power of the Yun army, refused without hesitation.

When Yu Zhaoling heard the words, he immediately said:

"Zanpu abandoned Nieqi. Judging from his words and deeds since he took the throne, we can see that he is definitely not mediocre. I don't believe that he can still sit still in the current situation!"

Things are different now than they were two years ago!
If Xia Kingdom loses this time, the general situation of the world will completely turn to Yun Kingdom.

Cloud country with free hands

It would not allow a country like Tubo, which has a long border with Yunguo and could threaten the border at any time, to exist.Therefore, Tubo can only join hands with Xia Guo!
The ministers of the Xia Kingdom really looked down on Tubo, a small border country, and said again:

"Tubo is a small country with few people and a weak army. I'm afraid the country can't even gather the iron armor needed by the army. If it didn't occupy the advantage of the plateau, it would have been destroyed long ago. Even if it sends troops, can it still be the opponent of the army of Yunguo? "

"I have also heard that in the southwest of Tubo, many tribes headed by the Yangtong tribe have long been fighting against the Tubo monarch with the support of the Yunguo. With the Yangtong tribe restraining them, Tubo may not dare to easily attack the Yunguo. what!"

Looking at the skeptical ministers, before Yu Zhaoling could explain, there was a voice in the hall that suddenly said:

"My lords don't know that in the past two years, because the power of the Turkic court has faded, all the land south of Tubo, as far as Qingtang City in the north, including the West Sea, with a radius of thousands of miles, has been spit out by the grassland forces. Tubo obtained a huge territory for nothing, and its national power grew rapidly."

Compared with other places in Tubo, this land, which was obtained for nothing, has a larger population and is richer.

Moreover, there is salt in the West Sea, and iron mines in Qingtang City, all of which are urgently needed by Tubo.Coupled with the Turkic craftsmen sent by Xia Guo, the smelting technology tree of Tubo Kingdom was lit up, and finally they were able to forge ironware by themselves, which made Tubo's national power grow rapidly!
After the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from the queue of officials.

Everyone looked together and found that this person was actually the abandoned disciple of the Zongheng family who rarely showed up in Jinling City in the past two years, Gong Yingzong!
Gong Ying stood up, bowed to Yu Zhaoling and all the officials in the palace, and continued:

"Actually, in the past two years, the climate of the world has changed significantly. In the originally cold Tubo, more land suitable for cultivation has increased, making the national and military strength of Tubo no longer comparable to what it used to be!"

The land that was not suitable for cultivation has now become arable.When there is more food, there will be more people who can be supported, and more young and strong people who can be recruited!
Having won a huge and wealthy territory for nothing, and also received the secret support of the Xia Kingdom, and even more timely help, the national power of Tubo has almost doubled in the past two years.

In fact, when Wang Xuance went to Tubo as an envoy, he already discovered that the climate in Tubo, no, it should be said that the climate in the whole world is getting warmer!
After he returned to the country, he reported to Xiao Cheng that he must settle in Tubo in advance, so as to avoid the rapid development of Tubo's national power in the future, it would be difficult to check and balance, and involve too much power.

It was precisely because Xiao Cheng listened to it that he was later canonized as the leader of the Yangtong tribe and supported him to fight against Tubo.

Gong Yingzong continued to speak loudly:

"Today's Tubo, it is naturally impossible to fight Yun Junrui head-on. But it is capable of invading the empty rear of the Yun Kingdom and holding back the Yun Army for our Great Xia soldiers and horses!"

Hearing this, the ministers finally nodded in agreement.

The total strength of the cloud army in Xiangzhou County is only [-].Even if it was Rui who was only held back by Tubo to take [-] away, for Xia Guo, that would be able to greatly relieve the pressure!
At this time, Gong Yingzong bowed to Yu Zhaoling again, then walked to the map hanging in the hall, then pointed to the land of Anguo painted under the map, and said in a deep voice:
"Besides, this minister has been still in Anguo for the past two years. Under the banner of Li Weining, the former king of Li, he secretly developed his forces and recruited people. Now he has recruited more than ten thousand people."

"Although he is not a well-trained and well-armed soldier, he can still stir up trouble in Anguo!"

"The number of soldiers in Yun State is not as good as Xia State. When Yun Junrui was on the front line, Tubo and Anguo suddenly launched an attack, cooperated with Xia Guorui to counterattack with all their strength, and encircled them on three sides. Then there is a great possibility that the battlefield will be completely reversed." Downfall!"

While talking, Gong Yingzong pointed at the map and slowly swipe it.

From Anguo to Tubo, and then to Xiaguo, the triangle drawn by the finger directly placed half of Yunguo's land under the encirclement of the Three Kingdoms.

Uniting the weak to attack the strong, this method is obviously the technique of combining vertical and horizontal strategists!
All the ministers in the palace stared subconsciously when they heard the plan, looking extremely shocked.

If this plan succeeds, the country of Yun will be wiped out at once, but at the very least, it will seriously damage the country of Yun, lose more than half of it, and take back the land that was swallowed up by Xia country!
Yu Zhaoling on the dragon chair, with resolute eyes, said in a deep voice:

"This plan was laid out two years ago. Now that Yunguo is aggressive, it has reached the point where he has no choice but to launch it!"

"Preach the decree, and declare it to the world!"

"The Kingdom of Yun is greedy by nature. He covets our land in Daxia and invades it with troops, causing turmoil in the world and unrest in the country. I cannot bear the humiliation. I want to personally lead the troops on the front line and fight against the invasion of the Yun army!"

"Immediately send a mission to send the declaration of war to the Kingdom of Yun. By the way, I will ask Emperor Yun for me. On the third day of March next year, I want to meet him in Shuzhou. I wonder if Emperor Yun dares to attend the appointment?"

At this time, all the ministers wanted to object, but seeing Yu Zhaoling's resolute and undeniable attitude at this time, they knew that this was their determination and could not be persuaded!
Moreover, since His Majesty does not want to move the capital and go north, staying in Jinling City is actually not much different from the front line.After all, the Yun Army is only a few hundred miles away from Jinling City.

Thinking of this, all the ministers looked at each other, then sighed softly, bowed in unison, and said loudly:
"Your servant, please follow the holy order!"
-

Yunguo, Jiangling capital, harem.

In this carefully constructed imperial garden, everything is cleverly arranged.

Exotic animals, exotic plants and flowers are all over it.Yushu Qiongzhi, flowers gather together, and the spring water opened up flows and murmurs.There are more clouds and mist gathering, making the air gloomy like a deep mountain and valley, and the seclusion is like a design made by nature!
But at this time, in the imperial garden, there were the sounds of children playing.

Then I saw two four or five-year-old children, carved in pink and jade, and dressed in expensive clothes, one in front of the other, running with short legs plopping, chasing and playing, laughing and laughing.

Behind the two, a group of palace servants looked bitter and did not dare to stop them, so they could only follow behind cautiously, for fear that the two would bump into each other.

These two children are naturally the two princes of Yun Kingdom.Now that he is less than five years old, it is the time when cats and dogs dislike him, and from time to time, he can turn the whole palace upside down.

And not far away, on the surface of the lake, there is a pavilion named "Feiting", which is very elegant.

At this time, on the stone table in the flying pavilion, the memorials were already piled high.Xiao Cheng held a vermilion pen in his hand, and kept flipping through it for review.

Beside Xiao Cheng, a cute little girl who was less than two years old was sitting obediently on the cushion.

This little girl can't speak clearly now, but she can quietly accompany her. Xiao Cheng, who is reviewing the memorial, is extremely well-behaved and very cute.

So when she was bored, she picked up the emperor's nine seals on the side to play with, Xiao Cheng saw it, and just showed a doting smile, without doing anything to stop her.

On the other hand, Feng Bao, who was on the side, was terrified, fearing that if he lost his grip, Yuxi would fall to the ground.

This girl is the daughter Yang Yuhuan gave birth to for Xiao Cheng, named Xiao Yurou.

Xiao Cheng and Yang Yuhuan are very fond of this daughter.The Nama, Qu, and Tao families headed by the Yang family felt a little disappointed.
At this time, Zhang Zhao, Shang of the Ministry of Rites, ran quickly to the Feiting Pavilion, bowed to Xiao Cheng, then raised Xia Guoguo in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom have come and handed over the declaration of the Warring States."

Xiao Cheng casually glanced at that Xia Guoguo, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Declaration of war? Sending a mission to travel thousands of miles just to deliver a copy of the declaration of war? Yu Zhaoling, when did he become so formal?"

Zhang Zhao heard the words, pondered for a while, and said:
"The delegation from the Kingdom of Xia came here and brought a word for Emperor Xia."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng became interested, put down the ink brush in his hand, and said:

"What?"

"Emperor Xia intends to invite His Majesty to hunt in Shuzhou City on March [-] next year. The reason he sent his envoys is to ask His Majesty if he dares to go to the battle." Zhang Zhao said.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes and was stunned for a while.
Then he suddenly laughed and said:
"This Yu Zhaoling has a lot of thoughts! Not only does he want to swallow my elite soldiers at the front of Dayun, but he also wants to keep me together!"

While talking, Xiao Cheng casually closed the secret folder in his hand.

And this secret book was sent by Zhong Zi, who is far away in Jinling City!
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Cheng spoke again:

"Go and tell the Xia Guo Mission that meeting with Emperor Xia is fine, but not in Shuzhou!"

Having said that, Xiao Cheng's eyes sharpened, his whole body was incomparably imposing, and he shouted in a deep voice:
"I really think that the place to meet and hunt with the Emperor Xia should be in the capital of the Xia Kingdom. Let's do it!"

Dangtu City is an important town in the Xia Kingdom after Shuzhou City in Yicheng County, and it is also the last line of defense for Jinling City.

If you want to choose the hunting place here, that is to say, before March next year, the Yun army must completely capture Yicheng County and push the front line to the capital of Xia Kingdom
