Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1179: Worry in Guanzhong, chaos among Di people

The news of Ye City's destruction and Shi Hu's death caused an uproar throughout the north, but when the exact news reached several other forces, it was even more shocking.

Although the Huns have learned from the past, many people can still guess the solution in general. However, in comparison, today's Zhao State is still much stronger than the original Xiongnu State, at least in terms of territory and population. , several times that of the former.

As a result, in just half a month, everything came to an end.

After such a commotion, other forces compared themselves, and they were horrified to find that they were far inferior to the Zhao State. After all, the Zhao State still had several states with soldiers and horses trained through fighting, and they Each of them has a small territory, and their soldiers have not yet withstood the test of the battle formation. If the Xuanjia Army is not satisfied with beating a whole family, and then attacks in other directions, how can they resist it?
Among them, the most fearful ones are the two kings of Guanzhong.

Today's two kings, because of these years of care, their bodies are getting worse day by day. They were already quite old, but now they are even more senile.

Not long ago, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong fought a battle with King Yingchuan of Hanzhong. It was a win or a loss for each other. In the end, both sides compromised. Moreover, because of the pressure from the Jiangzuo court and the expansion of Qiang and Di forces within Guanzhong, They had to introduce the troops of King Yingchuan.

Now, this Guanzhong has not recovered from the previous turmoil, its vitality has not been restored, and there are still many hidden dangers and constraints inside. It is hard to say what the outcome will be if it encounters the Xuanjia Army's offensive.

"I originally thought that we would take advantage of this period of time to integrate the forces in Guanzhong as soon as possible. After stabilization, we could see if we could take back the land of Sizhou while Shihu was not yet stable and was trying to shave his head and change his clothes. Unexpectedly, we Before you start, Youzhou wiped out the stone tiger first, and now the Chen family almost dominates the north, what should we do?"

King Chu was no longer as high-spirited as he had been a few years ago. His face was full of staleness and fatigue, and he looked much older.

The King of Huainan also looked the same. Hearing these words, he sighed: "Now the Chen family is in great power. Even if we contact Jiangzuo and unite with Shu, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat him alone. For the present plan, we must stabilize him first!”

King Chu nodded and then said: "The envoy has been sent out. This time I will give him a promotion. I just don't know what the other party's request is this time. It's just that if this continues, it's really not a big deal. Today's promotion Two steps and a city will be given tomorrow, just like when the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, it was an act of saving money to put out the fire."

King Huainan sighed and said: "Then do you have a plan to destroy Qin? If not, you and I, the imperial court that occupies the land of Qin, can only serve it respectfully, otherwise how can we survive the difficulties?"

The two people here were talking, and suddenly someone came over to report that King Yingchuan was coming to visit and was coming in.

"Just let someone come."

After hearing this, the two kings looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

At present, in this pass, they really have to rely on King Yingchuan, otherwise they will not be able to control the power of the Hu soldiers who are gradually expanding.

But these changes were too sudden. Not long ago, they faced off against King Yingchuan, and in the blink of an eye, they used the names of their own clan to invite people over.

And with the arrival of this young and powerful clan member in Guanzhong, the situation of the court changed. The originally scattered people's hearts showed signs of shrinking, so that the power of the two kings quickly shrank.

But they were helpless.

In fact, strictly speaking, they have been working hard to maintain such a stall in Guanzhong all these years. Ever since the rebellion before the imperial examination, the entire Guanzhong has been as Chen Zhi said, with constant rebellions, big and small, and it is difficult to stabilize if they want to. Very difficult, let alone development.The second king was very troubled by this, but he couldn't let go because of his desire for power and survival. Now that he has lost some authority, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

Not to mention the complicated mood of the two kings, but after King Yingchuan walked in, he said his intention directly: "I came here today because I got news. It is said that the Chen family of Youzhou intends to take over Guanzhong. Earth, do you two have any countermeasures?"

Over the past few years, this young clan member has become much calmer. He looks particularly brave and steady. He is now very powerful. He even faked his death before, luring the enemy deep and defeating the Shu army. Only then did he secure his territory in Hanzhong. , gradually develop and grow.

But as soon as his words came out, the two kings were shocked.

"Is the news reliable?"

The King of Chu asked here, while the King of Huainan was stunned and speechless.

"It's not reliable, but many people think that if the Xuanjia Army moves again this time, they will definitely not be satisfied after destroying just one country!" King Yingchuan looked serious, "In the battle to destroy the Huns, although the Xuanjia Army shocked the world , but now looking back on the situation at that time, it can actually be seen that Youzhou was not fully prepared at that time. It was because of the death of the emperor's brother that the temporary expedition was launched. But this time it was different. Everything in Youzhou was fully prepared and it was easy to conquer. After Zhao Guo is destroyed, there is no sign of decline, and there is no logistical pressure, so it is very possible to continue the conquest."

He didn't say a word, but the faces of the two kings turned ugly.

But at the end, the King of Chu still emphasized: "But the emperor is sitting in Guanzhong. Could it be that the Chen family is really going to make trouble?"

King Yingchuan sneered: "Jiangzuo is preparing to hold a coronation ceremony recently. They haven't changed their reign names for several years. What's the purpose? Don't you two know?" Then he changed the topic, "And the Chen family claims to be My imperial brother's confidant and loyal minister was angry and raised an army. He even killed Liu Cong and others at the Dragon Sacrifice Ceremony. You can see this person's purpose. Don't forget, that old eunuch has always said , the three of us are also the culprits who killed the late emperor!"

As soon as they heard him mention that "old eunuch", the two kings immediately showed hatred.

The King of Huainan scolded: "That old guy is still alive. He has been slandering in front of the Chen family all day long. If he had listened to me, he should have sent someone to kill the old guy long ago, and there would be no worries today!"

The King of Chu said angrily: "It's not like I didn't send someone there, but I was discovered as soon as I entered Youzhou. In the end, I didn't have to cede the land to pay compensation. This kind of thing is really compensating my wife and losing the army. I shouldn't do it anymore." !”

"You two, let's discuss the countermeasures now!" King Yingchuan frowned.

The two kings nodded and were about to say more when suddenly someone came over to report——

"Sorry, three kings, Pu Hong has led a rebellion, and now he has led his troops towards Chang'an!"

"what?"

When the three kings heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
