Nowadays, the imperial court intends to support the Qi family, and it can be said that it is deeply favored. However, at this time, it is a bit ignorant for the Duke of Qi to offend Long Yan and remonstrate with him.
Qi Jin's expression was unusually firm. Of course he understood the truth of loyal words being harsh to the ears.
Given the current situation, if the imperial court cannot adjust its strategy, the survival of the Qi family may not be at stake!
"Girl, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. You will be both prosperous and devastated. If you underestimate Dayu, great things will happen."
"Even if I know that persuading Your Majesty to give up Dali will offend Long Yan and offend the powerful people in the dynasty, I still have to do it!"
"Um!"
Qi Lanyue also nodded complicatedly, looked at Qi Yuan and said: "Grandpa, I will meet the Holy Spirit in person, but before that, I need to meet the Prime Minister first."
"The Prime Minister may be able to persuade His Majesty, but he may not be able to suppress the big families who are ready to move."
"No matter what, my grandson must try his best."
"Grandpa, you must be extremely careful. Dayu's military front is no longer what it used to be."
…
Dongyan City.
There are three figures standing on the city wall, Ning Fan is in the center, looking far away, the autumn atmosphere is getting stronger.
"Wen Ruo, there are only four months left before the end of the year. In your opinion, I, Dayu, might have attacked the Bauhinia City before the end of the year?"
"cannot!"
Xun Yu shook his head directly, stroked his beard and said: "My lord, in my opinion, the top priority is not to continue marching westward."
"oh?"
"Helian Zongheng!"
Xun Yu poured out these four words, with a deep glimmer in his eyes, and said calmly: "Although my soldiers of Dayu are sharp, even if they can attack Dayan, the price paid will be extremely painful."
"At that time, Hu Nu will only be able to take advantage of the situation. I would like to suggest that we stop here first. After capturing Changluo, we can guard Da Yan's throat."
Ning Fan's face also showed some contemplation. With Dayu's current military front, if he continued to advance westward or sent his troops south, he could severely damage Dayu.
But as Xun Yu said, there is still a delicate balance in the Central Plains today. After all, in the west of Dayan, there is still Western Shu who is hiding its power and biding its time.
Changluo...
"Yesterday Wenyou received news from the east that the Yingzhou people, frightened by Gong Jin and Yuan Jing, intend to negotiate peace with me, Dayu."
"You are even prepared to send envoys to me, Dayu!"
"Wen Ruo, Ju Chen, what do you think of this matter?"
Xun Yu glanced at Wang Mang and did not speak in a hurry. Although this man was a usurper of the Han Dynasty, as a colleague now, he must respect his ancestors!
Besides, if he could single-handedly overthrow the huge Han Dynasty, how could he be considered a mediocre person?
"My lord, Japan is a small country, but it is very ambitious and has been coveting the Central Plains for a long time."
"In my opinion, the peace talks are false, but the truth is to explore the reality of our government."
Xun Yu also nodded with deep understanding and said softly: "Now that Dayu and Dayan are at war, Dayu is also deeply involved in the battlefield. The chaos in the Central Plains is a golden opportunity for them."
"If they find out that my main force, Dayu, is deployed in the west and north, they will definitely march westward!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan smiled and said calmly: "The Japanese people are just clowns after all, Da Yan and Hu Nu are the important ones!"
"My lord, sooner or later there will be a great battle between us and Da Yan."
"Now, the initiative lies with us. Whether it is national strength or foundation, I, Dayu, cannot compare with Dayan. Therefore, my suggestion is to rescue Dayi first."
"When we occupy Changluo, it will be equivalent to strangulating Da Yan's throat to move south and east!"
Xun Yu said in a solemn tone: "Occupy the city of Changluo, and then encroach on the southeastern territory of Dayan."
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded, looked far away, and said calmly: "The good news is here."
One man and one rider rushed to the bottom of the city tower, carrying the flag of the Begging Army on their backs. They dismounted from their horses, looked at the city tower, performed a military salute, and shouted: "Scout camp of the Begging Army, please report to His Highness the Prince!"
"The Qihuo Army won a great victory, killed Da Yan in Changqinghou Yunxi, and completely annihilated Da Yan, Red Yan Guard, and Black Yan Guard's 100,000 troops!"
On top of the city tower, both Ning Fan and the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army guarding the city had expressions of shock on their faces.
Ning Fan also didn't expect that the first one to come to report his victory would be the beggar army.
You must know that the Begging Army is stationed in Changyuan with infantry and has only 50,000 troops. The pressure is undoubtedly the greatest.
The Red Yan Guards and Black Yan Guards came from Da Yan's most elite Nine Guards of the Capital.
"How's the battle damage?"
"Forty-three thousand six hundred and forty-two people died in battle!"
The scout of the beggar army was choked with sobs, but his chest was still straight and his tone was even more confident. He loudly replied: "The beggar army has won a great victory. The general is taking the brothers back to the city!"
"Open the city gate!"
Ning Fan walked down the tower without hesitation and said softly: "Gu, personally welcome the beggars on their triumphant return!"
After giving the order, Dongyan City also started to get busy, and a guard of honor was quickly formed outside the city gate.
Ning Fan, Xun Yu, Wang Mang, Li Ru, Jia Xu, and three other princes came out of the city to greet him personally.
On the ancient road, a group of bloody figures came to Dongyan City step by step with steady steps.
"Ran Min, the last general, is leading a beggar army to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ning Fan and his entourage looked at the army wearing 'blood armor' in front of them, and they were all moved.
Looking around, in the army that stretches for several miles, no one has complete armor, and even more than half of the beggars have no less than three or five scars on their bodies.
Zhao Changying's face was also full of wonder. He walked up to a beggar soldier and pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang.
"this……"
"The weapons of the beggar army are all made of my Dayu's hundred-forged iron!"
"Completely curled up!"
Su Xuan and Liu Fengping also stepped forward and inspected the weapons of more than ten beggar soldiers. Whether they were swords or broadswords, almost all of them had curled blades.
"call!"
"The begging army is so strong!"
Zhao Changying's face showed a touch of respect, the begging army was victorious, but everyone was not too happy.
Ran Min slowly raised his head, and the soldiers consciously gave way to a path. The baggage cart behind them was already filled with the corpses of his comrades.
"Ran Min!"
"The end will be here."
"All soldiers who died in the beggar army will be allowed to enter the Dayu Martyr Cemetery, and the injured will be treated as soon as possible."
"The begging army will be expanded to 100,000 from now on!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
The ceremony officer on the side shouted loudly, and the pillars on both sides of the city gate had been prepared and played music to see off the soldiers who died in the battle.
Ning Fan and his party had just entered the city, and Bai Qi's good news also arrived.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
"Commander Bai ambushed Nan Yan's army and killed more than 180,000 enemies. Now he has captured Nagano and is preparing to march south!"
"hiss!"
…
[I wish you all a happy New Year's Day. In the new year, I hope that everyone can get something for nothing, enjoy the fruits of their labor, and become rich overnight! 】
