When the grandma sweeping the floor heard this, a cloud of red clouds suddenly appeared on her face, her body trembled, and she looked this way in horror.
She originally thought she heard it wrong, but what she encountered was Li Pingan's wolf-like eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
This frightened Mammy quite a bit. Originally, Jiang Wei didn't make things difficult for her when he invaded Prince Xiang's Mansion. She was a little lucky, but she didn't expect that there would be such a calamity waiting for her.
"This young master has really unique taste, I will admire him in the end!" Jiang Wei cupped his hands.
"That's right, we are all our own people, and I'm not afraid to tell you that green onions still smell good when they are old." Li Ping'an chuckled.
Yang Xun was speechless. After all, Li Ping'an was also a member of the royal family. How could he have such a weird hobby after being a general?
But looking at Li Ping'an's hungry eyes, Yang Xun really couldn't bear to refuse him.
"Okay, if you like it, you can take it with you."
"Okay, long live Brother Xun!"
Li Pingan cheered, pointed at the women in the crowd, and ordered the guard next to him: "Go, leave the young one with the prince, and send the others to my room. Don't forget that nanny! "
Soon, Li Pingan left with everyone satisfied.
Jiang Wei quickly approached Yang Xun and whispered, "My lord, please go down and rest first. The general will send someone to send the girl over later."
"Ahem, you figure it out!" Yang Xun blushed and left with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Yang Xun's leaving figure, Jiang Wei felt happy, the prince had acquiesced!
Humph, once this general satisfies the prince, I will definitely lead the troops in the next land grab!
Old Xue, we are evenly matched in battle, but when it comes to pleasing the prince, Jiang is already far ahead!
Jiang Wei has now learned to figure out Yang Xun's thoughts, and his personality has become more diplomatic.
Jiang Wei sighed helplessly, he didn't know why he was like this.
Although he knew that Yang Xun was a wise man and would not reuse him because of his tact, nor would he alienate him because of his uprightness, he still couldn't help but try to please Yang Xun.
Military merit is important, but pleasing the master is equally important!
It seems that I suffered a loss for not understanding this truth in my previous life, so this sentence has been deeply engraved in my mind in this life.
At this moment, Xuanwu on the side suddenly came over, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Um... General Jiang, is there still the kind of mama you just did in the palace?"
…
Qianjingcheng, imperial study room.
Li Miaoyin sat in front of her desk. There was a letter on the desk, which was news from Huaizhou.
"Now the entire Huaizhou has fallen into Yang Xun's control. According to reports from spies, Yang Xun only brought 80,000 Xuanjia troops to Beijing this time. What do you two dears think about this?" Li Miaoyin said, looking at To the two old men opposite who lowered their heads respectfully.
The two old men are Luo Yongzhi, the new prime minister of Daqian, and Cui Bowen, the Minister of War.
(The official positions in the book are different from real history, please do not substitute them into reality)
Cui Bowen took a step forward and said respectfully: "To the empress, Yang Xun entered Xiangzhou just to join up with his general Jiang Wei. As far as I know, Jiang Wei has 100,000 Qingzhou troops and 120,000 Huaizhou troops under his command. The Huaizhou Army has been dispersed to various parts of Xiangzhou as the defender of Xiangzhou, but the 100,000 Qingzhou Army will definitely follow Yang Xun to Beijing, plus the 80,000 Xuanjia Army brought by Yang Xun from Beiyan, it will be enough An army of 180,000!"
"In addition, the spies came to report that there was an army starting from Beiyan, passing through Huaizhou, and on its way to Chuzhou. The exact number is unknown, but it should be around 100,000, including tens of thousands of cavalry."
"In my humble opinion, the purpose of this army should be to attack Chuzhou, so this army will stop at the junction of the three states of Xianghuai and Chu. It is only two hundred miles away from Qianjing City. As long as Yang Xun gives the order , those tens of thousands of cavalry can arrive in the morning and evening, so Yang Xun’s total troops entering Beijing this time should be more than 200,000!"
"In just two months, this son first occupied Huaizhou, Liaozhou, and then Xiangzhou. The area of his territory has even exceeded that of King Pingnan. Now he is targeting Chuzhou. His ambition is not small. If he is allowed to enter the capital just like this, I am afraid that Qianjing City and even the entire Chunzhou will become his prey! I beg the empress to take back the imperial order and let Yang Xun return to Beiyan, and don't lead the wolf into the house!"
Cui Bowen had a deep bitterness on his face. Now all the officials in Qianjing City are looking forward to Yang Xun's coming to Beijing, but he is the only one who opposes it. For this reason, he has been isolated by the officials in Qianjing City.
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Cui Bowen was also an all-rounder with both literary and military skills. How could he not see that Yang Xun was encroaching on the imperial court's territory step by step.
If Yang Xun previously occupied Liaozhou to resist foreigners, and occupied Xianghuai Province to eliminate the rebel king, then how can he explain his march into Chuzhou?
Although Yang Xun has not yet truly rebelled, as a prince, expanding his territory without going through the court is no different from a rebel!
"What nonsense!"
As soon as Cui Bowen finished speaking, Prime Minister Luo Yongzhi stood up.
"The war in Wuzhou is tense. King Dongwu has been defeated repeatedly, and Marquis Tingyang is short of supplies. It has become a matter of time to retreat. Once Wuzhou falls, Qizhou will not be able to hold on for long. At that time, King Pingnan's army of 500,000 Then we can advance directly to the gate of Qianjing City!"
"It is true that Yang Xun, the king of Zhenbei, is expanding his territory, but at least he is still the king of Zhenbei that I have done. Those territories are still my responsibility. If the king of Zhenbei is not allowed to lead troops into the capital to defend the capital, he will wait for the king of Pingnan to fight. How to resist when we get to Qianjing City?"
"Then you can let Yang Xun lead the troops to the front line of Wuzhou to fight against King Pingnan! Isn't it better than letting him go to Beijing?" Cui Bowen retorted.
Luo Yongzhi snorted coldly and said: "Although Yang Xun is not rebellious, he is not a fool either. The entire south of Qianjing City is full of bandits. It is very difficult to transport the imperial supplies to Wuzhou. I want Ma'er How can it be such a good thing to run and not give the horses grass? Without supplies, how could Yang Xun send troops to fight in Wuzhou?"
"When Yang Xun comes to Beijing, he can at least ensure the safety of the capital and the inheritance of my Daqian!"
Luo Yongzhi couldn't see Yang Xun's ambition, but the treasury was empty and the troops were insufficient. Daqian was no longer able to fight against King Pingnan. Even Marquis Tingyang asked for orders to withdraw his troops many times, and King Dongwu of Dongyu was even worse. Got beaten out.
King Pingnan will attack the capital sooner or later. After Yang Xun leads his troops into the capital, he can at least strengthen the defense of the capital.
With Yang Xun's current strength, it is almost impossible for King Pingnan to take over the capital and the north.
Even if most of Dagan falls into the hands of King Pingnan, at least the north will still be Dagan's territory, and Dagan will still have a chance to make a comeback!
"What if Yang Xun rebels in the capital?" Cui Bowen continued to ask.
