Become a feudal king from today

"I asked you to come here today to discuss what should be done now?"

The Sixth Prince and Yuan Hang were dragged away, the court returned to silence, and Zhao Heng asked aloud. read

When Beidi entered the Pass, it was impossible to drive him out of Yan Pass with only the power of the royal family.

After all, the Yanguan Imperial Army that he relied on most at the moment was probably completely destroyed.

As for the 100,000 imperial troops guarding Jiaozhi, Piaoman and Tubo in the south, it was too late to move northward at this time.

If Jinzhou and the 80,000 imperial troops guarding Xiliang were transferred at this time, they would be afraid that Xiliang would take the opportunity to launch an attack.

The one hundred thousand imperial troops in the capital were responsible for guarding the imperial city.

If he was transferred out of the capital, who would guarantee his safety? He didn't trust the conscience of these powerful people at all.

Thinking of this, he felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

Back then, when the Dasong Royal Family was at its peak, it had 820,000 imperial troops, plus over a million local soldiers.

I didn't expect it to be so miserable now.

"Your Majesty, you should immediately send envoys to Beidi to ask the Khan of Beidi to withdraw his troops. What Beidi wants is gold, silver, jewelry, food, grass, and beauties. I praise the abundance of products and give him some." Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel. Wang Zi'an said anxiously while wiping his sweat.

The territory of his Wang family is Yuzhou. Once Beidi captures Yanzhou, Yuzhou will become a delicacy for the people of Beidi.

How could he not be in a hurry?

"Are you willing to give it away, and Beidi willing to accept it?" At this time, a general came out and suddenly knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

He was Mo Kuan, the eldest son of Mo Zhai. When he learned that his father was dead, he couldn't suppress the grief in his heart and cried: "Please ask the emperor to recruit the soldiers, horses and generals of the Han family, the Wang family, and the Ma family, and then give him The last general has 50,000 imperial troops, and the last general is willing to fight Beidi!"

"Your Majesty, although I am old, I am still willing to fight." Yang Feng, Duke of Yi State, came behind Mo Kuan at this time and said loudly.

Zhao Heng looked at the second prince Zhao Qu at this time.

He didn't reprimand the second prince just to give face to the Han family.

The Han family's Qizhou and the Wang family's Yuzhou are both bordering Yanzhou, while the Ma family is only separated from Yanzhou by Jinzhou.

It is naturally the fastest way to mobilize troops from these three places.

The current situation is urgent and he has no objection to Wang Zi'an negotiating peace with Beidi.

But there must be soldiers and horses who can fight Beidi and prevent Beidi from going south.

Zhao Qu caught Zhao Heng's gaze and immediately dodged it.

Wang Zian lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Heng wanted to find Ma Yuan, but suddenly remembered that Ma Yuan was not in the capital.

He suddenly felt angry.

During the battle of Ningjin, these powerful clans were also so timid.

Dou Wei was happy to see the Ma family, but the Wang family and the Han family suffered a loss. He said with an aloof expression: "It's a pity that Jingzhou is too far away from Yanzhou, otherwise the Dou family will definitely send a large army there."

"Indeed, in the current situation in Beidi, all people need to be united as one, and the Xie family is willing to donate 300,000 tons of grain and grass." Xie Duan, the Minister of Household Affairs, said in unison.

General Xiao Cheng, Minister of Rites Fan Xinglun, and Minister of Industry Liang Kai simply chose to remain silent.

The three of them are the farthest from Yanzhou, so there is no reason to send troops.

Han Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly felt angry when he saw that the other five families wanted to watch the fire from the other side, causing three of his own families to bleed.

He said: "Since the safety of Dasong is at stake, no one can be a coward. So what if our three families cannot resist it? Your Majesty, why don't you just issue an order to all the Muju of each state to lead troops to Yanzhou."

Seeing Han Zheng come forward, Wang Zi'an took advantage of the situation and said: "Han Shangshu is right. If Jiangbei cannot be defended, how can Jiangnan be stable? We must work together to do this."

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, this was what he was waiting for.

Although the eight powerful families are powerful in the state and are almost equivalent to separatist rule, just like the Yuan family, they are still nominally ministers of Dasong.

They must obey the will.

When Dou Wei heard this, his face suddenly froze. He didn't expect that Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an would actually break up.

If Ma Yuan were here, he would probably join in.

"What does the prime minister think?" Zhao Heng asked.

Dou Wei showed an embarrassed smile. Since the Han family and the Wang family were talking about this, he naturally couldn't object.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Han Shangshu, Wang Shangshu's words are reasonable, but I think that peace should be the main focus and attack as a supplement. Now we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, so we should not fall into a long war."

Zhao Heng nodded.

If Beidi is willing to negotiate peace, he will naturally agree to it.

It's better to give some money than to have this flower-like country be beaten to pieces.

What frightened him even more was that he was afraid of losing his country and becoming a prisoner.

In this way, he, Zhao Heng, is the sinner of the Dasong Royal Family.

"That being the case, with Qinzhou Mu Ma Xuan, Yuzhou Mu Ziming, Qizhou Mu Han Qi... take our troops and horses to Yanzhou immediately without delay."

…

Yancheng.

Zhao Xu led his troops and entered from the east gate.

If he had just woken up, the Yuan family would have been a terrifying existence to him.

But he didn't expect that he would be so vulnerable to his army now.

The infantry under his command had not yet arrived, but Zhongli's cavalry defeated the Yuan family's army.

"King Yan!"

"King Yan!"

"King Yan!"

"..."

The cheers at the top of the city continued. At first it was just the soldiers, but later the people who learned the news also came out and cheered in unison on both sides of the road.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Liu Fu came down from the city wall and responded with tears and runny noses.

He cried with joy as he narrowly escaped death.

Zhao Xu patted his shoulder and said to him: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Wang."

"It's not hard. I can see His Highness again. Even if I die, I will have no regrets." Liu Fu's lips were still trembling with excitement.

These days have been like a year for him.

Yanzhou has never faced such a crisis.

He made up his mind to die several times and carried arsenic with him at all times.

If he is wounded and captured, he will swallow it.

But King Yan came back and once again created a miracle.

Now, he wished he and the officials would lift King Yan up and throw him high.

Although he had learned from Zhongli that the Yuan family was defeated and Beidi retreated.

But he still wanted to hear it from King Yan himself.

"Your Highness, have you really won?" Liu Fu asked.

The officials around him all pricked up their ears, and so did the people around him.

After returning to Yancheng and leaving the depressing battlefield, Zhao Xu felt a lot more relaxed. He said loudly: "Yes, the soldiers of the royal palace defeated the Yuan family and defended Yanguan. Now the Beidi people have retreated!"

"Ouch..."

When Zhao Xu's words came out, huge cheers broke out in the crowd.

People spread the news by word of mouth to others.

The cheers extended all the way from the east gate, and the entire Yan City fell into a sea of ​​carnival.

Among the cheering crowd, Zhao Xu saw Feng'er and Xu E, both of whom looked at him with smiles.

He smiled and winked at the two.

The smiles on their faces grew wider.

Zhong Li followed Zhao Xu. He had never experienced such a scene.

But this is enough to prove how popular King Yan is here.

He looked at King Yan and felt deeply that he had made the right choice.
