And just when the entire Xixia was attacked from three directions and had completely entered a state of all-out war, Zhao Xuanjia of Jingzhou and Liu Zhu of Shu seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer.
Although the rebellions of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Li Yuan all failed in the end, they all died miserably.
But in the eyes of Zhao Xuanjia and Liu Zhu, it was the wrong time.
What's wrong?
First of all, Meng Yuan and Bei Yan in the north are uniting to swallow gold. At this time, the prince of Daqian can naturally free up his hands.
And now?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally conquered Xixia.
Although Xixia has declined and is not as good as Li Yuanhao's period, it is still a vassal state in the northwest.
Not to mention whether Meng Yuan and Bei Yan would act according to the opportunity at this time.
Even if you are watching the fire from the other side.
Then they will burn the fire together.
But no matter what, at this moment, Zhao Xuanjia and Liu Zhu have already secretly communicated with each other, planning to take advantage of this moment to directly attack the capital. Whoever captures the capital first will be crowned king.
"it is true!"
Shen Yilun planned to persuade Yan Wang Xiao Zheng.
This is the only person Zhao Xuanjia is worried about.
King Xiao Zheng of Yan pacified Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao this year, and directly occupied Hebei Road, Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road.
Hebei and Hedong areas fell into the hands of King Yan.
If he leads troops to directly attack the capital, but King Yan takes the opportunity to attack Jingzhou, he will definitely be attacked from both sides.
"Your Highness, if the prince is restrained by Xixia in Xiliang, this is the best time. My governor is willing to respect His Highness the King of Yan and work with the Qing Emperor to help us achieve this great cause."
Xiao Zheng turned a deaf ear. He didn't believe Shen Yilun's words.
Zhao Xuanjia rebelled against Daqian, so naturally he also wanted to rebel against him, the King of Yan, who worked together for a great cause. He must have wanted to use his name to cause trouble, and he might even sell him out afterwards.
"The prince is cruel and unkind. He has put His Majesty under house arrest in Taiji Palace. He is also good at killing ministers in the court. Now he is wasting people and money in vain, trying to conquer Xixia himself. Not to mention, Daqian has also had disputes with Xixia since the founding of the country. In the end, it can only be settled. Despite the national policy of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, the prince is so proud of his achievements that he personally conquers Xixia to enhance his own prestige. This move will only increase the number of killings and deaths!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Yan has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. He guards Baoding Pass and has trained elite soldiers and generals like Yan Yun Sixteenth Cavalry. Why should he be inferior to others?"
Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said directly: "Did you hear that? This is the purpose of Zhao Xuanjia."
"It's a pity that he underestimated me after all!"
"Detain him and tell the teachers in the capital that Zhao Xuanjia has rebelled!"
Shen Yilun was stunned at first, and then looked ferocious: "King Yan, the prince must be Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao. If such a person does not take advantage of this opportunity to destroy him in one fell swoop, he will never be able to stand up again. If he is allowed to breathe, It will definitely become stronger in the future, King Yan must not be overconfident!"
Xiao Zheng stared at Shen Yilun, but Shen Yilun was not afraid at all and stared at him coldly.
"You do have some courage, but you don't have the vision." Xiao Zheng was not afraid at all and was full of aura. "Do you think that this king really wants to listen to you? I really don't know what ancestral territory is?"
Only now did Shen Yilun understand Xiao Zheng's position.
In other words, I realized that the ambition and vision of Crown Prince Xiao Yi and Prince Yan Xiao Zheng are worthy of being the two most talented princes in the Xiao family.
A man who has been able to endure for more than twenty years, once gained power, became the prince of the country, eradicated traitors, upheld the rule of law, defeated the rebels, and now wants to conquer Xixia himself.
A man who could learn from the military god Da Gan, had the elite Dragon Guard guard Baoding Pass for three years, so that Bei Yan did not dare to go south to seize the pass, and also trained elite soldiers like Yan Yun's Sixteenth Cavalry. Now, the two rebels Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were directly put down by one person. Their abilities and talents were not inferior to that of the prince Xiao Yi.
Shen Yilun figured out the key to the matter, but unfortunately, it was already too late.
Xiao Yi said to Bai Qi and others beside him: "Zhao Xuanjia wants to use my name to plot rebellion and drag me into the water. By then, the Central Plains will be completely in chaos. As long as he muddies the bowl of water, When chaos breaks out in the Central Plains, Meng Yuan and Beiyan will definitely raise their troops and go south immediately after getting the news. Even if they have not recovered their strength, this is the best time, and they will not let this opportunity go."
"However, Zhao Xuanjia still underestimated me. Daqian cannot die for four generations."
"Even if someone from the Xiao family doesn't sit in that seat in the Central Plains, it definitely cannot be a Jurchen from the Mongols and Beiyan!"
"Zhao Xuanjia and others are short-sighted and want to lure barbarians into the Central Plains for their own selfish interests."
"However, they don't know what kind of hell the Central Plains will be if the barbarians are really allowed to enter the Central Plains."
"The tragic situation in the last years of the Jin Dynasty will forever be remembered in the annals of history!"
Bai Qi and others quickly clasped their fists to show that King Yan had the world in mind, which was a wise move.
Xiao Zheng detained Zhao Xuanjia's envoy.
His attitude has been very clear.
Not only that, he also reminded Yue Shan that Zhao Xuanjia might not be able to bear it anymore.
Faced with Xiao Zheng's attitude.
However, Zhao Xuanjia changed his strategy and asked Liu Zhu to lead troops out of Shu. They united and stopped attacking the capital.
The prince is not in the capital, and the one who takes over the capital is just an old emperor and some ministers.
The prince's prestige is still there.
The key is that there is another King of Yan on the other side of Hedong. Whether they can break into the capital is still unknown.
So... attack Jiangdong first, and then plan for the capital.
Luring the Northern Yan southward, the water was muddied.
At the same time, a beacon was successfully lit at a key location in the heart of Xixia.
Moreover, there were very few troops stationed in Xixia. Xiao Yi asked Han Shizhong to make a detour upstream. The raid was successful, and then the entire army advanced successfully. However, after all, it was limited by manpower and could not prevent the Xixia people from lighting beacons.
Therefore, in the afternoon, there was a beacon fire and smoke rising into the sky. For a time, warnings were issued everywhere along the Yellow River in Xixia.
Seeing this, Han Shizhong asked in a deep voice: "How far is this place from Xingqing Mansion?"
The deputy general blurted out: "One hundred and eighty miles."
Han Shizhong frowned and said, "So, even a quick march will take six days."
The deputy general calculated and replied: "Yes."
Han Shizhong immediately ordered: "Then let's not delay. Let's have a good rest today. Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will move forward quickly to seize time and distance."
The lieutenants thought for a moment, and then each nodded heavily.
In this way, the army finally set off and continued northward.
Nearly half a month has passed. Since they faced the vanguard of the Xixia West Route Army in Pingchuan, there has actually been no large-scale battle.
Li Qianshun seemed to have immediately withdrawn his main force to arrange around Xingqing Mansion, and did not seem to want to engage in a large-scale field battle with Daqian.
At the same time, Li Qianshun also sent envoys, delivering a lot of tributes, as well as letters of credence and letters of apology, requesting the prince of the Grand Governor to cease the war and negotiate peace.
However, the prince Xiao Yi did not accept it. Instead, he scolded Li Qianshun for being capricious and a snob who should not be credulous. It was said that he was not a wise master and made the people of Xixia suffer. Daqian, as the Celestial Kingdom, It is supposed to save all people from water and fire.
Naturally, Han Shizhong did not want to agree to the peace negotiation so easily. He would fight once and negotiate for peace once. However, within a few years, Xixia began to raise troops to seize the customs again, plundering the merchants of Daqian and the people of Daqian. This kind of behavior was indeed It is the behavior of a capricious villain.
The key is that this time, it is a battle to destroy the country!
Meng Yuan and Beiyan were able to unite to swallow up the land of Jin, so why couldn't Daqian raise troops to attack Xixia and directly swallow up the land of Xixia?
"Report!"
"Commander, there are traces of enemy troops twenty miles ahead!"
