"Your Majesty, since the defeat of Zhenbei King Yang Huai, our army has been retreating steadily. In the past two days, King Xiang and King Huai respectively led their troops to withdraw. Now there are less than 200,000 people left on the front line. Hou Lan of Tingyang has Tu has ordered the entire army to retreat a hundred miles, and now all four southern states have fallen into the hands of thieves!" Song De, the old eunuch, reported truthfully.
"What a great Prince of Xiang and Prince of Huai, I will remember it!" Li Miaoyin clenched her fists.
Since she ascended the throne, in addition to these ministers being dissatisfied with her, the vassal kings are also targeting her everywhere. Many vassal princes who originally stood on the side of the court have sided with King Pingnan, and the rest are still waiting and watching. .
The imperial court was now weak, and Li Miaoyin suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
She braved the disapproval of the world and ascended the throne as a woman to proclaim herself emperor, just to allow the Li family to continue and clean up her brother's mess, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
She can kill those who oppose her in the imperial city, but she cannot kill all the rebels outside the imperial city!
Fortunately, Tingyang Houlan Youtu, who was leading the army at the front, was her uncle, and at least he was on her side.
"Instruct the Marquis of Tingyang to hold on to the city and never allow the rebels to advance any further. I will find a way to provide reinforcements!"
Although that is what he said, Li Miaoyin is now one of the top two, so there are no reinforcements!
"Old slave obeys the order."
Just as Song De was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you can try asking Beiyan for help."
"Beiyan?" Li Miaoyin frowned.
Yang Huai, the king of Zhenbei, has always been loyal, but now that Yang Huai is dead and all 100,000 Northern Yan cavalry have been buried in southern Xinjiang, how can there be any troops to support the court?
I heard that the prince of Beiyan, Yang Xun, is a idiot. Once his father Yang Huai dies, Beiyan will definitely be in turmoil. It’s hard to say who will become the new master of Beiyan!
The imperial court now has no time to take into account the situation in Beiyan, and it is also impossible for Beiyan to have time to support the imperial court.
Song De seemed to see Li Miaoyin's worries and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the spies just came to report that Pingbei General Zhao Zhengxiong led an army of 30,000 to attack Beiyan City with the intention of rebellion. Beiyan Crown Prince Yang Xun suppressed him with thunderous means. , Yang Xun even announced to the world that he will inherit the throne of Zhenbei King and become the new Lord of Beiyan!"
"What are you talking about? Yang Xun suppressed Zhao Zhengxiong?" Li Miaoyin's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
She naturally knew Zhao Zhengxiong. He was a famous general in Beiyan. She had already thought of Zhao Zhengxiong's rebellion, but she never expected that Zhao Zhengxiong had never fought against that idiot Yang Xun?
"Exactly what is going on, please tell me in detail!" Li Miaoyin suddenly became interested.
The old eunuch Song De immediately told the news that the spies had returned word for word.
Li Miaoyin looked solemn after hearing this, lowered her head in deep thought, and after a while she said: "What a black armor army, what a pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, it's really a good trick. Sure enough, the tiger's father has no dog son, I underestimated him Yang Xun , everyone in the world underestimated him, Yang Xun!"
"Immediately send someone to Beiyan City to convey my decree, make Yang Xun the King of Zhenbei, and lead a hundred thousand Xuanjia troops south to fight against the thieves. Set off immediately, without any mistakes!"
…
At the same time, in Beiyan City, Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and Yang Xun's bedroom.
Cai Wenji was serving Yang Xun to wash up, while Liu Zheng was standing aside respectfully.
"Master Liu, how are the grains I asked you to distribute a few days ago?"
Liu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Back to your lord, I have already distributed them to various states and counties, and some states and counties have already sent people to plant them."
A few days ago, Yang Xun handed over all the crops such as corn and potatoes in the system space to Liu Zheng, and asked him to distribute them to various states and counties, and use these crops as seeds to be planted separately.
There are no potatoes or corn in Daqian. A yield of three shi per mu of most food crops is considered high yield. Liu Zheng was almost shocked when he learned that potatoes could not only be used as a staple food, but also had a yield of more than 30 shi per mu.
Even corn, which is far inferior to potatoes, has a yield of more than ten stones per mu, which is several times that of ordinary crops in Daqian!
This is simply a divine thing!
Although he didn't know where Yang Xun got these things, there was no need for Yang Xun to lie to him.
As the parent official of a state, Liu Zheng is well aware of the importance of food to a region. With these magical items, the people of Beiyan will never go hungry again!
When reporting to Yang Xun, Liu Zheng's eyes were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
Although Yang Xun came up with these things, as the implementer, Liu Zheng will also leave a mark in history. How can he not be excited about this?
After listening to Liu Zheng's report, Yang Xun nodded with satisfaction. He had to say that Liu Zheng's ability to do things was really strong. He got the matter done in just one day.
Why couldn't Yang Xun see that Liu Zheng was just a loser and looked down on him, a good-for-nothing prince? The reason why he kept Liu Zheng was because he took a fancy to Liu Zheng's abilities.
After all, Liu Zheng had been the governor of Beiyan for more than ten years. If his ability was not up to par, he would have been replaced by his father long ago.
Yang Xun also had his own considerations when taking out the grain extracted from the system and giving it to Liu Zheng.
Most of his points must be used for lottery draws. It is impossible to exchange them all for food. The soldiers must find a way to provide food and grass.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. If corn and potatoes can be successfully grown in Beiyan, not only will the people of Beiyan be able to have enough to eat, but he will not have to worry about food for the soldiers.
"By the way, what happened to the heads of the rebels that the king ordered to be sent to various counties?"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said quickly: "Back to the prince, after receiving the heads of the rebels, people from all over the country wrote letters to express their loyalty to the prince. The guards at the four border gates did not show any dissatisfaction after receiving the order to change the defense. It has been smooth. Defense switch completed."
"In addition, when the people learned that the prince had exempted Beiyan from taxes for one year, they all praised the prince for his benevolent government and caring for the people. They are all grateful to you, the prince!"
Yang Xun nodded. Although he had already thought of this result, he still couldn't help but smile when he heard Liu Zheng's words.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the novice task of stabilizing the situation in Beiyan, controlling Beiyan, and receiving rewards of five-star general Jiang Wei, 50,000 Euphorbia warriors, and Zhuge Liannu*5000]
[A new mission has been released, mission goal: control the land of the three states]
Euphorbia warriors were the heavy armored infantry under Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. Each soldier was equipped with heavy armor and a halberd. They were one of the best elite soldiers, known as the cavalry nemesis!
Needless to say, Zhuge Liennu is a repeating crossbow machine invented by Zhuge Liang. It has very strong firepower. It is said that it can fire ten crossbow arrows continuously.
But what surprised Yang Xun the most was the five-star general, Tianshui Jiang Boyue!
There have been mixed reviews of Jiang Wei in history. Some people thought that he was militaristic and consumed the national power of Shu, but Yang Xun thought that Jiang Wei was a rare talent and a hero!
He was both civilized and military, and was proud of his youth. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei devoted himself to the Shu Kingdom, taking charge of the Central Plains nine times. In the end, even if the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, Jiang Wei still wanted to restore the country with one man's power!
Such a heroic general is praiseworthy and admirable!
Just when Yang Xun was about to summon Jiang Wei to see his true appearance, Xue Rengui hurried over.
"Lord, it's bad, the Huns are going south!"
