Looking at that look, Dongfangzhi's body trembled slightly, and his heart couldn't help but pluck up the courage to say: "Father! Our country of Wu uses force to rule the country and use force to secure the country. The sixth brother is young and lacks experience. If we want to protect The peace on the border of Beiliang cannot be achieved by always guarding the Qin land. Without a few battles, how can we grow?"
"My son suggested that my sixth brother should be in charge of the general affairs of Liangzhou and manage the seven counties. As for the other divided forces, Song Yi, the general of Zhengzhou Zhaolie, could lead an army of 15,000 people to enter the main road of Liangzhou and attack Xiutu County; Dingzhou General Zhaode, Xiong An, leads an army of fifteen thousand to attack Cangsong County; then the two armies join forces with his sixth brother to secure Liangzhou."
Zhaode General Xiong An and Zhaolie General Song Yi were both well-known generals stationed in Ding and Zhengzhou. With the help of two people, even Dongfang Shuo felt it made sense.
at this time! General Liu Wenlong also stood up, "Your Majesty, I also think that what Doctor Cai and the prince said was right. Let the King of Qin take charge of the general affairs of Liangzhou, and Song Yi and Xiong An will assist the King of Qin in the crusade against the Northern Liang rebels. This method is very good! I Seconded!"
Prince Dongfangzhi and imperial censor Cai Zhong looked surprised. Ever since he helped King Qin, the general had not been dealt with by the court, and they had fought several times secretly.
But today, it is rare to agree with their thoughts.
Did you take the wrong medicine? Or there is another reason.
Generally speaking, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Dongfang Zhi and Cai Zhong don't believe that Liu Wenlong would be so kind.
"Forget it! I will immediately draw up a decree and send eight hundred miles to Liangzhou as soon as possible. The civil strife in Liangzhou must be quelled in three months!"
"If you have the memorial, please send it directly to Taiqing Hall."
"Retreat!"
The morning meeting is over.
But for Dongfangzhi, the expected goal has been achieved.
Thirty thousand troops from Ding and Zhengzhou? ridiculous! A mere thirty thousand troops were not enough to pacify Liangzhou.
Yangchen, Hongze, and Mushu, these three princelings who worked secretly, had a strength of 60,000. Pei Hao's family has 40,000 troops, a total of 100,000 troops. How can it be compared with the 30,000 Liangzhou foreign troops and the 10,000 Qin troops.
What's more! Xiong An, the general of Dingzhou Zhaode whom he advised, may not obey the King of Qin obediently. As long as there are people who are greedy for money, Dongfang Zhi will naturally be able to bribe them.
And after seven days...
After eight hundred miles of haste, from Guanzhong to Qin, I only rested for a few hours day and night, constantly changing horses, and finally arrived in Qin.
"The imperial edict is urgent for eight hundred miles. Please come out and receive the imperial edict!" The soldier gasped for air, holding the imperial edict in his hand and said urgently to the defenders outside the palace.
"Your Highness, the imperial court is in urgent need of eight hundred miles. I'm outside the palace. Please accept the order from Your Highness."
"Eight hundred miles urgent?" Dongfang Yu muttered, and then called Xu Meng beside him, "Commander, follow me out for a look."
The imperial court sent him eight hundred miles to rush for him. This was probably not the emperor's intention. It was probably the prince who was causing trouble.
"promise!"
Dongfang Yu and Xu Meng came outside the house.
The ancient "Eight Hundred Miles Express" was specifically used to express the transmission of information in emergencies.
In ancient times, file transmission relied on post stations. There was usually a post station every twenty miles. Once an official document needed to be delivered, it was marked with the words "delivery immediately". According to regulations, it required 300 kilometers per day. In case of emergency, it could be delivered every day. Four hundred miles, six hundred miles, the fastest is eight hundred miles.
When delivering urgent documents, fast horses are used at each post station. In this way, although it is not a thousand-mile horse, every horse runs hard and can run a thousand miles in a day. "Eight hundred miles urgent" is used to express the urgency of the situation.
The person who delivers the message eats and drinks all on horseback and has no time to rest. If the messenger who is rushing for 800 miles is not strong enough, he will often work himself to death. If the messenger fails to deliver the message on time for some reason, he may be executed. It is undoubtedly a very tiring and dangerous job! Therefore, Babaili Express will not be used unless it is extremely urgent.
But that’s it! Like eight hundred miles in ancient times, if measured in modern times, it is only more than four hundred kilometers.
Liangzhou is about more than 1,900 kilometers away from Guannai. After all, using modern algorithms, it is only more than 1,000 kilometers. The 800-mile expedited seven-day journey to Liangzhou is considered slow.
"The King of Qin accepts the decree!"
Dongfang Yu knelt down, held it out with both hands, and took the imperial edict.
"I accept the order!"
Dongfang Yu stood up and continued: "The envoy has worked hard on the attack, come here! Help the envoy to rest in the side yard."
After sending the envoy away, Dongfang Yu slowly spread out the imperial edict, his face becoming more and more ugly and solemn.
Seeing the changes on Dongfang Yu's face, Xu Meng asked: "Your Highness, what is written in the imperial edict?"
"See for yourself!" Dongfang Yu handed the imperial edict to Xu Meng and put it on his back.
"What a prince?" Dongfang Yu's eyes were deep and his face was cold.
"Yu Wenhu, go find Tian Ping and see me."
"promise!"
Feeling the terrible coldness of Dongfang Yu Leng, Yu Wenhu did not dare to neglect at all.
"The intention of the imperial court is to let His Highness take charge of the general affairs of Liangzhou. In other words, he is the governor of Liangzhou. He can manage and distribute all the military affairs and important affairs of Liangzhou in a unified way." Xu Meng said: "However! This is a good thing! But Judging from the current situation in Liangzhou, it is undoubtedly a hot potato."
This is what Dongfang Yu is most worried about, and what Xu Meng is most worried about.
"Yes, according to the present situation of Qin, my king's troops have exactly expanded to ten thousand, including five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry. If we attack several major counties and cities, and several major forces stay behind closed doors, we will There is nothing we can do." Dongfang Yu said calmly.
Without saying too much, Dongfang Yu and Xu Meng returned to the inner hall to wait for Tian Ping.
Ten minutes later, Tian Ping rushed back from outside.
"Your Highness! During spring plowing, farm work is busy, so it's a little late." Tian Ping took off the raincoat on his waist and the bamboo hat on his head with a smile.
The ability of Qin to reappear the busy scene it is today is inseparable from the benevolence and policies of King Qin. He was very happy to be able to serve this Mingzhu.
"Prime Minister, look at this." Dongfang Yu waved his hand, and the imperial edict was handed over to Tian Ping.
Tian Ping looked at it for a few times and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's imperial edict is obviously intended to make things difficult for you?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the intention to make things difficult.
"Rather than making things difficult, it's better to say that the prince is causing trouble secretly. How easy is it to conquer the six counties?" Dongfang Yu said angrily. "What can you two do?"
Tian Ping was in charge, so naturally he had nothing to say, but Xu Meng, as his great military advisor, was good at coming up with strange strategies, "Your Highness, in my opinion, you have to lure the snake out of its hole."
"What does it mean to lure a snake out of its hole?" Dongfang Yu's eyes lit up.
"Your Highness, with the current strength of our troops in Qin, except for the two thousand troops stationed at Beimen Pass by Luo Zong and Lan Tian, Qin County still needs to keep three thousand troops to guard against enemy sneak attacks. So after all, the number of soldiers we can mobilize is only Five thousand."
"If I can convince a big force to surrender to Your Highness, and work together to lure the snake out of its hole, wouldn't it be possible for Beiliang to be pacified and the civil strife to be eliminated?"
