Qin Zhong was shocked after hearing this.
Your Majesty is so awesome.
This method is really like an old sow leading a ****, one set after another. Yao Qian was used first, and then Yao Xiao was used. Everyone in the Xiliang royal family was used, and the methods were really clever.
Qin Zhong praised: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Go and rectify the army. After a day's rest, we will set off and go straight to Guzang County, the capital of Xiliang. In addition, bring Yao Xiao in and I will see him."
"I accept my order!!"
Qin Zhong hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Not long after, Yao Xiao entered the camp.
Yao Xiao is in his early twenties, seven feet tall, with thin cheeks and eyebrows that seem to have an eight-character mark on them, giving him an even weaker impression.
thump!
Yao Xiao knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "The sinner Yao Xiao, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor Daqian."
Zhao Shan looked at Yao Xiao and said calmly: "I was at war with the Kingdom of Jin. Yao Guang ignored the old alliance and sent troops to the Chencang border without permission, intending to attack Daqian."
"I destroyed the Golden Kingdom and the army returned in triumph. In order to make amends, Yao Guang promised to compensate three million taels of silver. However, of the three million taels of silver I received, Yao Guang cut corners and only gave me two million taels of silver."
"Yao Guang's intention to deceive me is simply a coward."
Zhao Shan raised a smile and asked, "If it were you, Yao Xiao, could you bear it?"
"Can't bear it!"
Yao Xiao quickly answered.
He looked resigned, his body trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of being dealt with.
Zhao Shan didn't care about Yao Xiao's true inner situation.
Regardless of whether he is really weak or pretending to be weak, as long as he becomes his prisoner and a pawn of Da Gan, Yao Xiao has no choice but to cooperate honestly.
Zhao Shan continued: "I am going to send troops to Xiliang to demand justice from Yao Guang. Do you think it is right?"
"Should! Should!"
Yao Xiao answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan asked with a smile: "So, you also think that Xiliang is unruly and are you willing to follow my arrangements?"
"willing!"
Yao Xiao replied smoothly.
Zhao Shan further asked: "If I ask you to be the emperor of Xiliang, will you be willing?"
brush!
Yao Xiao looked up instantly, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face. He didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity.
If he becomes emperor...
if……
When Yao Xiao thought of this, he banged his head on the ground, raised his butt high, and said loudly: "I am willing to obey His Majesty the Emperor's arrangements. I will do whatever His Majesty asks me to do."
Zhao Shan praised: "He is an obedient person, very good!"
Yao Xiao's heart beat thumpingly.
Inner excitement.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Go down and follow me on the road. First, follow me to see how embarrassed Yao Guang is. Next, I will give you a chance."
"As you command!"
Yao Xiao stood up after answering and allowed the soldiers to take him down.
Zhao Shan thought about Yao Xiao's arrangement.
The value of Yao Xiao's existence is to stand up and raise his arms to mobilize more power from Xiliang to further resist Yao Qian. For Yao Xiao to gain momentum, there needs to be people who support Yao Xiao.
Zhao Shan suddenly thought of Han Ning.
This was arranged by Qin Zhong, and the person who temporarily acted as the prefect of Jincheng County happened to be used to support Yao Xiao.
However, Zhao Shan didn't understand it well enough.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform Qin Zhong to come."
The soldiers went to inform, and Qin Zhong came not long after, saluting: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shandao: "Qin Qing, I don't know anything about Han Ning in detail. What kind of person is he?"
Qin Zhong quickly replied: "Reporting to your majesty, the Han family where Han Ning belongs is a wealthy family in Jincheng County, and it has some influence in Xiliang. Han Ning himself is in his forties, slightly fat, and quite scheming."
"When I arrived in Jincheng County, I showed some goodwill. Han Ning took the initiative to come forward and expressed his willingness to serve Da Gan. This man is capable and his interests come first. Driven by interests, he is willing to listen to Da Gan's words."
Zhao Shan nodded and continued: "To support Yao Xiao, Han Ning is very important. You go and send a message. I want to meet Han Ning. Don't reveal the news."
Qin Zhongdao: "I accept the order!"
He turned around and hurried to inform. Not long after, Qin Zhong and Han Ning came in a hurry.
After Han Ning saluted, he stood respectfully below.
Zhao Shan looked at Han Ning and thought further in his mind.
To completely overthrow the local foundation and strength of Xiliang, it is not Zhao Shan who relies on it, but these local forces, because people like Han Ning know Xiliang best and are the most ruthless to Xiliang's powerful people.
Dealing with a large number of Xiliang's powerful people, and then wooing the local people, one by one, is the basis for governing Xiliang.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Han Ning!"
"The villain is here!"
Han Ning replied loudly.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "I am very pleased that you are committed to Daqian and surrendered to Daqian. Next, I want you to support King Ping Yao Xiao. When I withdraw my troops and leave Xiliang, I will hand over Yao Xiao to you. Do you understand? ?”
Han Ning was confused.
What does emperor mean? Why do you suddenly want to support Yao Xiao?
After all, Han Ning was a thoughtful person, and he immediately realized that perhaps the emperor wanted to support Yao Xiao in fighting the civil war.
As a result, Xiliang was further controlled.
Han Ning was looking forward to it. Because he was valuable, he would have opportunities in the future. He said without hesitation: "I understand that I will definitely complete your majesty's mission."
Zhao Shandao: "Go and manage Jincheng County well. Next, you need to stabilize Jincheng County."
"The villain takes orders!"
Han Ning stood up, bowed and then left.
After Qin Zhong waited for Han Ning to leave, he frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Qin Zhong, is there anything you don't understand?"
Qin Zhong said quickly: "Your Majesty said before that you must first support Yao Qian so that we can enter Xiliang. Next, you must support Yao Xiao to overthrow Yao Qian so that we can capture Xiliang."
"When I was reorganizing the army, I was thinking carefully in my heart."
"We supported Yao Gan to overthrow Yao Guang, and have already captured Guzang County, the imperial capital of Xiliang. Can't we directly kill Yao Gan? Should we further completely destroy Xiliang?"
Qin Zhong said: "Destroy Xiliang and everything will be completely resolved."
"You can overthrow Yao Gan, but it's not good enough!"
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Killing Yao Qian directly will give people a handle. On the other hand, there are still many forces in Xiliang. These local forces in Xiliang will definitely resist us."
"If Yao Qian overthrows Yao Guang first, he can attract some power. Then, with the help of Yao Xiao, he will attract more people to resist Yao Qian, attract more local power in Xiliang, and at the same time use this to kill A member of the Xiliang royal family."
"The greatest internal fighting can completely eliminate Xiliang's local power and reduce the difficulty of our governance."
Zhao Shan spoke eloquently: "In the end, Yao Xiao will surrender to Daqian and take the initiative to merge Xiliang into Daqian. This is the best strategy."
hiss!
Qin Zhong took a breath.
Shocked in my heart!
It turns out that such a plan can be planned. People who play politics are really shady.
Qin Zhong was happy again and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Shan said: "Qin Qing, you have been guarding the border. If you want to continue to advance, you must think more and read more, especially history books. Only by reading can you be wise, and only by reading history books can you know the ups and downs. Only by broadening your horizons can you be more competent." A big job.”
Qin Zhong's heart moved.
Bigger job!
He is currently planning a strategy for Xiliang. In the future, he may be based in Xiliang and be responsible for guarding the security of the place.
Qin Zhong was excited and said loudly: "Please rest assured, your majesty, I understand. I will also keep your majesty's instructions in mind. I will study every day and never let down your majesty's high expectations."
Zhao Shan waved his hand, and Qin Zhong turned around and retreated.
The army rested for a day in Yunwu County and then headed towards Guzang County.
When Zhao Shan sent troops towards Guzang County, Yao Qian retreated again and again and evacuated hastily. He had no intention of resisting and deliberately allowed the army to collapse. The infantry was completely lost and only a few people ran back.
Only Snow Dragon Cavalry suffered no losses.
Yao Qian retreated all the way, and arranged for people to rush 800 miles away to send back the news of the army's defeat.
All responsibilities are placed on Shi Jian.
When Yao Qian returned to Zhangye County, less than two hundred miles away from Guzang County, the imperial capital, the news was sent back to the imperial city.
Yao Guang is enjoying singing and dancing.
No matter what the fighting was like on the front line, Yao Guang's interest in watching the singing and dancing never stopped. He is already old, and if he doesn't work hard to fiddle with it a few times, and if he doesn't work hard to train his second brother, it won't be long before he can no longer use it even if he wants to.
Yao Guang held the wine bottle, looked at the dancing singer, and said loudly: "Keep playing, keep dancing, don't stop, move, move!"
The music is lingering and the dance is graceful.
The figures of the dancing singers are all very graceful. As their bodies dance, they exert the greatest temptation. They can attract people's hearts and make people abandon all the noise around them, and they can only criticize these beautiful figures in their minds.
Yao Guang took a sip of wine and shook his head in admiration.
"Report!"
Urgent shouts came from outside the hall, and a sentry rushed in and shouted: "Your Majesty, the frontline army collapsed, and the heroic general Shi Jian died in battle."
boom! !
Yao Guang's mind seemed to explode.
The whole person lost consciousness for a moment, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
