Become a feudal king from today

"Your Majesty, thank you for your visit." While Han Zheng and Sato Masaki were discussing, another eunuch arrived in the imperial study.

Looking at Sato Majiu, Han Zheng said: "Whatever you say comes."

Then, he turned to Sato Mahisa and asked, "Do you want to avoid it, Sato-sama?"

Shaking his head, Sato Zhenjiu said: "No need, since he came here for the withdrawal of troops from Nanliang, with me here, I can convince him to join you in resisting King Yan."

Han Zheng also meant the same thing. He nodded to the eunuch and motioned for Xie Duan to come in.

After a cup of tea, Xie arrived, and he was obviously surprised when he saw Sato Majiu.

But now, he no longer cared about the presence of outsiders and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is still up so late. He must have already heard the news about the withdrawal of troops from Nanliang."

"Not bad." Han Zheng said truthfully.

Seeing Han Zheng's unhurried look, Xie Duan said angrily: "At this time, Your Majesty is very calm. Without the 200,000 soldiers and horses from Nanliang and the 100,000 cavalry from Beidi, how can we fight with King Yan?" A battle?"

After a pause, he continued: "After the Liang family and the Fan family broke away from Nanliang, they also withdrew their troops southward."

Han Zheng's eyes darkened slightly, this was something he expected.

However, he can't blame the Liang family and the Fan family harshly now, because if the war goes unfavorably, he will have to rely on them in the future.

So he said: "It's not that I'm not anxious, but it's useless to be anxious. In the final analysis, the most dangerous thing in this war is you and me. They are not angry enough yet, and they are not anxious enough yet."

Xie Duan almost cried, ""But what should I do? Can our two families defeat King Yan alone? "

"You have to fight even if you can't win. Do you want to hand over Jinling to King Yan?" Han Zheng asked in return.

"Of course he won't. He, King Yan, wants to take over Jinling. He has to pay a price of blood no matter what. But even so, if we lose, your and my heads will have to be used as chamber pots for King Yan." Xie Duan wry smile.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Han Zheng looked at Sato Majiu and gave him a questioning look.

Sato Zhenjiu nodded, and Han Zheng told Xie Duan the plan in the letter.

Xie Duan was surprised when he heard this.

Rolling his eyes, he said: "This is also a way out."

After saying that, he nodded and said to Sato Masaki: "I, Xie Duan, are willing to fight Qi State and King Yan to delay King Yan's move south."

Sato Zhenjiu burst out laughing, hugging Han Zheng with one arm and Xie Duan with the other, and said loudly: "This is retreat to advance. If King Yan is destroyed in the future, I promise to help you restore your country and continue to be your free emperor. ”

Xie Duan and Han Zheng nodded and said at the same time: "In this case, we rely on Mr. Sato."

They took action immediately.

If they don't agree to Sato Majiu, they will have to fight with King Yan to defend their territory.

In this case, it is better to cooperate with Japan's plan.

After all, they could see that Japan did not want King Yan to unify Dasong, but wanted several dynasties to appear on the territory of Dasong.

And this also serves their interests.

After agreeing on this matter, the three discussed how to deal with the next war.

Without the Nanliang soldiers and horses, they could no longer take the initiative to attack King Yan.

But it is still possible to occupy the dangerous position and resist King Yan.

At the moment, their goal is to defend the fortress outside Lu City.

…

Dongping City.

At the same time that Nanliang withdrew its troops, Zhao Xu also received news from Ma Han.

According to what Ma Han said, Dianzhang has arrived in Xiangcheng.

The next day.

Zhao Xu immediately sent out detective horses to conduct reconnaissance, and sure enough he discovered Nanliang soldiers and horses and Beidi cavalry retreating to the southwest.

After a while, information was obtained that the Liang family and Fan family troops were retreating south.

"Hahaha... Your Highness's move really hit the snake in the teeth. This Dou Wei is extremely selfish. Faced with the crisis in Xiangcheng, he really ignored the Yan coalition and only cared about himself." Chang Wei said.

At this moment, he and Zhao Xu were both in the command room of Dongping City.

Zhao Xu nodded, and he asked Ma Han to march northwest. One was to cut off the connection between Beidi and Nanliang, and prevent Beidi from constantly sending troops to Nanliang and participating in large-scale civil strife.

The second one is to resolve the Yan coalition forces.

Although, he was confident that he could defeat the millions of powerful troops gathered in Qizhou.

But even if they win, the royal army will definitely pay a certain amount of casualties.

This casualty will be measured in tens of thousands, which is something he doesn't want to see.

A few days ago, after investigation, the Yan coalition forces had gathered more than 1,500 artillery pieces in Qizhou.

Although the range and power of these artillery are far inferior to those of Yanzhou's artillery.

But if the two armies confront each other, the Yanzhou artillery cannot clear them out immediately. These artillery can still cause many casualties to the royal soldiers.

Therefore, it is most cost-effective to dismantle Fayan.

In this way, he can defeat the powerful clans one by one.

"However, it seems that the Xie family's soldiers and horses have not withdrawn. They seem to be guarding Lu City together with the Qi soldiers and horses." Chang Wei frowned.

"It's not surprising. For the Xie family, it's a shame. The Qi State is dead, and the Xie family's Ningzhou cannot be saved. Instead of withdrawing, it is better to deal with us together with the Qi State." Zhao Xu said.

After pondering for a while, he continued to Chang: "It's better to attack two at the same time than five at the same time. You should immediately organize your troops and prepare to capture the entire Qizhou."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei looked excited.

During this period, the royal army captured eight counties outside the four southwest counties of Qi State.

Moreover, these eight counties were reorganized and government offices were established.

Now, these eight counties are completely in their hands.

With the support of the people, the people of Yanzhou only need to transport grain and grass to Qizhou, and then the people of the eight counties can relay the grain and grass to Dongping City.

In fact, they no longer need as much food and grass as planned.

Because part of the grain and grass supplies can be obtained from the eight counties of Qizhou.

Chang Wei left, and Zhao Xu looked at Lucheng on the sand table.

This Lucheng is the contemporary Tai'an, Shandong Province. It is located at the southern foot of the Taishan Mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous. To the south is the Yimeng Mountains, which can be said to be surrounded by mountains.

On the mountain road leading to Lucheng from the two mountains, there are four fortresses that are both passes and cities.

They are Jicheng in the north, Zicheng in the east, Yangcheng in the west, and Yicheng in the south.

Among them, Yicheng borders Ningcheng. Once you leave Yicheng, you can reach Pengcheng, Ningzhou.

Looking around, he finally looked towards Yangcheng.

The terrain of Jicheng and Zicheng is dangerous. Although Yangcheng is also among the mountains, the mountains here are slightly gentle, so it is the most suitable place to attack.

However, Han Zheng can naturally think of this, so he will definitely deploy heavy troops in Yangcheng.

But there is no way. Not every battle on the battlefield can be fought skillfully. You can only fight tough battles when necessary.

As for Yicheng, he didn't consider it because Yicheng was at the southernmost tip of Yimeng Mountain and spanned hundreds of miles.

Going around would be laborious and time-consuming, so it would be better to attack Yangcheng.

Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

For him, it is time to sweep across the north of Dasong and move south to unify Dasong.
