The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

His guilt towards Prince Jing also deepened. He felt that even though this kid was so stupid, he was not the kind of person who could play tricks!

If the case of the Red Flame Army is not pursued, Prince Jing is still a very good child?

He sat back on the dragon chair and looked at the three people below. He couldn't remember where he was talking about just now, so he asked in confusion, "Where were we talking about just now?"

Prince Jing was the most honest and responded quickly, saying sincerely, "Speaking of the Dali Temple!"

Emperor Liang nodded, searching for his thoughts, and it seemed to be true. He then said solemnly, "Yes, it is the Dali Temple. You can continue the confrontation."

When he said this, he saw Prince Jing still kneeling stupidly, so he said to Prince Jing, "Stand up and answer!"

Prince Jing hurriedly thanked Emperor Liang, and then said to Xia Qiu, "The rescue of Nie Yi and the deaths of Xia Jiang and Xia Chun all happened in the Dali Temple!

I just want to ask, did the Patrol Battalion also have a conflict with the Xuanjing Division at the Dali Temple?"

Xia Qiu knew that he couldn't hide this matter, and lying would be useless, so he shook his head and said helplessly, "No, I just..."

Prince Jing did not give him a chance to explain himself. He interrupted him sternly and said, "If you accuse me of the conflict between the patrol battalion and you at the gate of Xuanjingsi, I can bear the responsibility of not governing my subordinates strictly, but what does the Dali Temple have to do with me?"

Prince Yu saw that Xia Qiu was no match for him, and he became anxious. He couldn't tell anything from Emperor Liang's face, and he didn't know what was wrong with the Queen. Now Xia Qiu was obviously no match for Prince Jing, which made him very anxious.

After all, if he couldn't kill Prince Jing today, then he would definitely not be able to defeat Prince Jing.

Therefore, he could not care less and said quickly, "Jingyan, Xia Qiu just told the facts of what happened and did not mean to target you. It's just that father thinks you are the most suspicious, so you'd better not target Lord Xia Qiu."

Prince Jing looked at the anxious Prince Yu and said with disdain, "Brother Prince Yu, you were not present when the incident happened, and my father is here today, so why are you so anxious to defend Xuan Jing Si?"

What he said was actually to remind Emperor Liang that Prince Yu had already extended his hand into the Xuan Jing Division. Otherwise, why would he be so anxious?

Emperor Liang was indeed suspicious. He strongly suspected that the deaths of Xia Jiang and Xia Chun were orchestrated by Prince Yu and Xia Qiu.

Because after those two people died, Xia Dong was seriously injured again, Xia Qiu was the person with the greatest hope of taking over Xuan Jingsi.

Prince Yu also realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Father, although the person was lost in the Xuanjing Division, Prince Jing has a very good relationship with Lin Shu of the Red Flame Army. The possibility that he was involved in this incident is very high. I suggest a thorough investigation."

Emperor Liang knew that he had to conduct a thorough investigation, and he also wanted to find out how deeply Prince Yu was involved with the Xuanjing Division. He said, "In this case, Prince Jing should return to his mansion and refuse visitors. He is not allowed to go out until the investigation is complete.

As for…”

He was just about to talk about Prince Yu and the Xuanjing Division when a eunuch shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Minister of War Li Lin and Prime Minister Liu are both asking for an audience!"

Emperor Liang was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that something big had happened in the war ahead again?

When he thought of this possibility, he could not care less and said quickly, "Xuan!"

Not long after, the Minister of War and Governor Liu arrived at the hall.

After they came in, they looked at the situation at the scene with some surprise. They didn't know why Prince Yu, Prince Jing, and the people from Xuan Jingsi were all there.

Liu Shoufu could not care less at this time, so he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, news came from Jiangxia that the Kingdom of Yue quietly crossed the Yangtze River yesterday and conquered the three counties of Guangling, Jiujiang and Lujiang in one day. The troops are heading straight for Jiangxia. The governors of Jiangxia and Runan counties also wrote urgent documents requesting help!"

When he said this, he took out two memorials, bent down and held them above his head, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

Eunuch Gao was very perceptive. He quickly ran down the stairs, took the letter, ran back again, and placed it respectfully in front of Emperor Liang.

After reading it, Emperor Liang became more and more shocked. The King of Yue actually had the courage to attack Daliang, and the attack was so smooth. It was obvious that it had been premeditated.

Thinking that his son was still thinking about the internal struggle at this time, he angrily threw the memorial to Prince Yu, and said angrily, "Now the enemy has come to the door, and you only know how to calculate in front of your brothers all day long, and you never stop punishing them.

Previously, it was the prince who fought, and you defeated him. Now it’s Jingyan. Apart from fighting, do you have a strong will in your heart?”

Although Prince Yu didn't know what had happened, he could still guess that the war on the front line was not going well. However, after hearing the accusations from Emperor Liang, he could not believe his ears.

Does the Emperor know what he is talking about?

What does Yue's capture of Hefei have to do with him?

He doesn't have any military power! Why is he being blamed?

The more Prince Yu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He immediately knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Father, I am innocent! I have never plotted against anyone. The Crown Prince's affairs have nothing to do with me. I just happened to be involved in today's incident. Please investigate clearly, Father."

Emperor Liang saw that Prince Yu did not admit it, and it was too late to investigate, so he said unhappily, "You and Xia Qiu are encouraging me to investigate Prince Jing, while the Queen is dealing with Concubine Jing. You two are moving in unison, and you still say you have no plans! Do you think I will believe you?"

Having said this, he no longer wanted to waste time talking to Prince Yu, and angrily said, "You also go back to the palace and stay here. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the palace!"

After he finished speaking, he said to Eunuch Gao, "Send someone to inform all the ministers that a grand court meeting will be held today! We must come up with a set of rules today! We can't let the Kingdom of Yue continue to fight so smoothly!"

Eunuch Gao knew the matter was urgent, so he immediately arranged for someone to notify them. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Daliang might really be in danger!

……

Hefei, the temporary headquarters of the State of Yue.

Wang Yue looked at Wei Zheng standing in front of him and asked incredulously, "What did you say? Chen Qingzhi led his men north? Where did they go?"

Wei Zheng thought of what Chen Qingzhi had said to him, and said a little embarrassedly, "Your Highness, Chen Qingzhi and I tried to attack Jiangxia, and found that the city is high and has many soldiers, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not particularly easy to attack.

General Chen thought this route was blocked so he decided to take another one. He led his troops north to attack Runan, but he didn't expect Runan to surrender. He thought this was an opportunity and asked me to come back and report to the prince. He followed the prince's instructions and went to rob money, food and territory.

Wang Yue's forehead was black. He really said that. He didn't care about it. He quickly walked to the map and looked at it.

Runan is located in the northern part of Dabie Mountains. By going west from here, you can attack Xiangyang and Nanyang, or you can bypass the two places and directly attack Nanjing.

Moreover, if we go north, we can attack Yingchuan and Yanzhou, and cut off the connection between Daliang and Dongpu.

Wang Yue looked at the map and saw that Runan was not far from the Yellow River, the border of Hebei and Yan. He couldn't help but think, this kid is going to take over the entire Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Yue could only sigh that plans could not keep up with changes. His steps might be too small and he could not keep up with the pace of his subordinates. He had to make adjustments.

His original plan with Chen Qianzhi was to take advantage of Daliang, then return to annex Southern Chu, and after digesting the territory in their hands, they would engage in a decisive battle with Daliang.

But no one expected that Chen Qianzhi's fighting was so smooth that he even became floating, and he seemed to be able to take down Daliang.

He was indeed the legendary Chen Qianzhi. His arrival did not change anything, and they continued to fight with great force.

He was just a little worried about the security within the territory of Yue, but when he thought about the fact that there were still more than 100,000 troops within the territory of Yue, nothing should happen.

Now that it has come to this, he can only proceed with the next strategic plan. After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Zheng, "In this case, I will give you 5 soldiers and horses, and you will join forces with Wang Jing to capture Qingzhou and Xuzhou for me.

If the war goes well, you will take 50,000 troops to station in Qingzhou to guard against Northern Yan, and then let Wang Jing come back. We still need to fight a fierce battle with Daliang. "

Wei Zheng took a look at the map and found that Chen Qingzhi's direction was Yanzhou. According to the situation in Runan, there might not be many soldiers in Qingxu. He and Wang Jing had about 80,000 soldiers and horses, so they could easily take over the entire Qingxu.

So, he hurriedly took the order and left, his heart filled with excitement. He felt that he could probably really avenge the Red Flame Army.

In fact, the soldiers were doing better than Wang Yue had imagined. Daliang was already in civil strife at the time, and all the counties were terrified.

In addition, the Jinyiwei and Jiangzuomeng played a decisive role in Yue State's ten-year deployment. Many cities were easily conquered with the help of the Jinyiwei and Jiangzuomeng heroes.

Even General Xu, who was stationed in Qizhou and was responsible for guarding against the Northern Yan army, was killed by his deputy general Wang Qianan. Then Wang Qianan called on his cronies, took control of the entire camp, and surrendered to the Yue army.

Wang Qianan was originally Wang Yue's man, and was also Wang Yue's fellow townsman and an old member of the Chiyan Army.

When Wang Qianan followed Wang Yue to retreat from Meiling to Qizhou, he was seriously injured and had to stay in Qizhou with a group of seriously injured soldiers.

At that time, Wang Yue left them a lot of money so that they could recuperate there.

Later, Wang Yue gained a firm foothold in Yue State. Among these seriously injured soldiers, a group returned to Yue State, while another group took advantage of the situation and went into hiding.

Among them, Wang Qianan is the best.

What Wang Yue didn't expect was that Wang Qianan was promoted so quickly in recent years. If he had gone to Yue State later, he might have become a commander-in-chief.

……

Daliang, Jinling, Wuying Palace

While the court of Daliang was still arguing, the State of Yue had already annexed Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, once again trying to swallow an elephant like a snake.

The reason for the quarrel in the court was that after hearing that Yue's attack was going so smoothly, the surrounding countries of Daliang were also eager to get a piece of the pie.

There are too many places in Daliang that need to be defended, and they have not yet come up with a suitable commander to fight against the Kingdom of Yue.

At this time, Prince Jing had not yet cleared himself of the suspicion of colluding with the Red Flame Army, so he certainly did not have the qualifications.

Meng Zhi himself came from the Red Flame Army. Although he was very trusted by Emperor Liang, it was precisely because of the trust that Emperor Liang did not dare to send him out at this critical moment, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to rebel.

After Xie Yu was exiled, he was kidnapped by someone unknown on the way, and his son was also dismissed from his military post and was no longer suitable to command troops.

Duke Qing Bai Ye's entire family was executed, not only was there no suitable general left to lead the troops, but it also caused chaos in Xuzhou's military affairs, which led to the smooth attack of Yue State.

Emperor Liang finally reaped the consequences of his own actions of raising poisonous insects. The factional strife among his sons had caused the court to be as weak and chaotic as it was thirteen years ago when Prince Qi and the Red Flame Army were suppressed. There was not even one person who could lead the troops in the court.

The more Emperor Liang thought about it, the angrier he became. He said angrily, "You have been arguing for several days, but there is still no result. If you continue to argue, the Kingdom of Yue will have already reached Nanjing! What use do I have for you!"

In fact, it was not the fault of the court officials. There were many generals in Daliang now. Except for those guarding the border, the other generals were not as strong as Xie Yu and Bai Ye. However, Xie Yu had been defeated by Wang Yue several times, and Bai Ye had no way to deal with Wang Jing under Wang Yue's command. They really couldn't think of who was suitable to lead the troops to fight against the State of Yue.

At this time, Prime Minister Liu stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, it is too difficult to find a young general who can compete with Wang Yue. I think it would be better to ask General Wei to come forward!"

Prime Minister Liu's words caused a sudden discussion in the court. General Wei was already sixty-six years old, um, almost the same age as the emperor. There was no problem with his loyalty and his ability to fight and command battles, but everyone was worried about his health.

Emperor Liang also remembered this old friend and was also worried about General Wei's age. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Think about it again. Is there anyone else who is suitable?"

Minister of War Li Lin hesitated for a moment, then stepped out and gave a suggestion, "Your Majesty, the general in charge, Jingling Duke Cao Jingzong, is also more suitable. But he has been on guard against Dayu Beiyan and cannot move lightly."

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly ran into the palace gate and shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report from Yanzhou!"

Emperor Liang had a bad feeling. He suppressed his anger and shouted, "Xuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dusty captain entered the hall. He knelt in the center and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the Yue bandit general Chen Qingzhi has conquered Runan and swept across the entire Yuzhou, with his troops heading all the way to Nanyang and Yingchuan.

General Cao knew the situation was urgent, so he led his army to confront Chen Qingzhi in Yingchuan and asked the young general to return to Nanjing to report the situation.

The captain's words made the people in Wuying Palace feel relieved, as it turned out that the Yue army went north instead of attacking Nanjing directly. But in a moment, they felt something was wrong.

Runan is the hinterland. If Chen Qingzhi is defeated by General Cao, Xiangyang, Nanyang or Jiangxia may be the direction of attack by the enemy. The crisis is still not resolved. Chen Qingzhi's troops must be wiped out as soon as possible, or people must be sent to attack from the direction of Xiangyang.

Emperor Liang thought about the current situation, and he didn't care about so much, so he said sternly, "In this case, please ask General Wei to go to the Xiangyang camp to mobilize troops, and cooperate with the troops of the Nanyang camp and Cao Jingzong to destroy Chen Qingzhi for me."

Prime Minister Liu frowned and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, although Yue State made a feint and did not cooperate in the attack on Jiangxia, it should be because of the Dabie Mountains that they are blocking them. But now they have occupied most of Lujiang County. Once the Yue State navy is ready, they may attack Jiangxia at any time. We have to be on guard."

Emperor Liang thought it made perfect sense. He didn't dare let anyone capture Jiangxia, as that would put Nanjing in danger.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to Eunuch Gao, "Go and tell Prince Jing to temporarily release him from confinement and have him lead his troops to reinforce Jiangxia. At the same time, block the river. If the Yue army crosses Jiangxia, don't come back to see me."

Eunuch Gao sighed in his heart, but didn't say much. He hurried to Prince Jing's mansion to deliver the message.

Emperor Liang discussed with his ministers again and made arrangements to mobilize troops from various places to provide support before returning to his Yangju Palace.

……

In fact, Prime Minister Liu only guessed half right. Wang Yue's style of commanding troops is not static. He is not good at using strange strategies like he was in Meiling. With Chen Qianzhi's rise in front of him, he now prefers to proceed steadily.

Therefore, after he entered Hefei, he ordered the Yue army that was originally on the Yangtze River defense line to cross the river to seize the prefectures and counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang counties and eliminate the remaining enemies.

At the same time, Wang Yue ordered the Pengze Navy to block the entire Yangtze River and temporarily not allow any wooden planks to be launched into the water.

After doing all this, he personally led an army of 50,000 to Runan. He needed to cooperate with Chen Qingzhi to stop the troops of Daliang, buy more time for Wei Zheng and Wang Jing, clear out the remnants of Northern Liang in the territory, and provide a stable rear for the army.

Chapter 125: One battle to determine four states!

Jinling, Prince Jing's Mansion

Prince Jing was originally discussing countermeasures with Mei Changsu, but he did not expect Eunuch Gao to suddenly come to announce the decree. He saw Eunuch Gao off and returned to the secret room, where he could not help but frown.

Mei Changsu looked at Prince Jing with some confusion and asked, "Your Highness, you just talked about the situation of the war with Yue Kingdom? Why did you only tell half of it? What happened now?"

Prince Jing sighed, described the current situation, and then frowned and said, "According to the information we have received, I am afraid that Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou have all been returned to the Kingdom of Yue.

By the way, you have spent a lot of time in contact with the Kingdom of Yue. Do you know Chen Qianzhi? What kind of person is he?"

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment. He thought of many generals who led the troops of Yue State, including Wei Zheng, but he did not think of Chen Qianzhi.

He said uncertainly, "Chen Qingzhi is Wang Yue's capable subordinate. He has great strategies, but I really don't know how to lead troops."

Prince Jing sighed and said helplessly, "My father ordered me to go to Jiangxia to defend it to buy time for General Wei and Cao Jingzong. I am just worried that the two generals may not be the opponents of Wang Yue and Chen Qingzhi."

Mei Changsu knew that Yue State had been accumulating strength for ten years and had never underestimated its power. However, he did not expect that it would truly explode and swallow up a quarter of Daliang in one fell swoop. Its strength was truly terrifying.

He looked at the anxious Prince Jing and said seriously, "Your Highness, since His Majesty has ordered you to go, you'd better set off quickly. You may not understand the navy of Yue. It may be more powerful than you and I think. The Jiangxia navy cannot be a match for the navy of Yue."

Prince Jing couldn't help but frown. Judging from the current performance of the Yue navy, it was already giving Daliang a headache. How could there be an even more powerful navy?

Seeing Prince Jing's confusion, Mei Changsu said very seriously, "Your Highness, have you heard of Yizhou?"

Prince Jing nodded and asked curiously, "I know! Could it be possible that the Yue navy can reach Yizhou?"

Mei Changsu nodded and said helplessly, "Although I have not witnessed it with my own eyes, the Jiangzuo League has seen the Yue navy sailing out to sea countless times, but we don't know where they are going. Could they have any other target besides Yizhou?

That ship is so huge that even the largest warship of Yue State is like a baby in front of that ship."

Prince Jing took a deep breath. He remembered that Nanchu used iron chains to connect the ships and defeated Prince Mu's Mansion. If they just switched to giant ships, would the Daliang navy have any chance of survival?

He quickly sat back next to Mei Changsu and said excitedly, "It seems that because of Nie Yi's incident, Yue's attention has been drawn from the sea to the land, which may be a disaster for Daliang.
