Chapter 280
A day later, a piece of news that shocked Liang and Xia spread, and was even spreading to further places.
The 2 million Liang army in Jimeng Mountain announced that it would join the Zhenbei Army.
Eunuch Xi, a spy from the Northern Territory, had been lurking in Liang for many years, and finally took advantage of this opportunity to make a huge contribution to the Northern Territory.
Eunuch Xi falsely conveyed the imperial edict, deprived Marshal Jiao Zi of his power, and let him command the Jimeng Mountain army with full authority, and secretly cooperated with the Northern Territory to insert Northern Territory generals into the army.
During the negotiations with the barbarians, he used the barbarians to get rid of the masters sent by the court and General Zhang who was secretly supervising the army.
Subsequently, Eunuch Xi reached an agreement with the barbarians that the Northern Territory would provide food and grass for the barbarians and hire barbarian cavalry to help the Northern Territory attack Liang. During the war, everything needed would be provided by the Northern Territory.
At the same time, General Jiao Zi and others were detained by the barbarians, and the control of the Jimeng Mountain army completely fell into the hands of Eunuch Xi.
After a night of purge by Eunuch Xi, the generals of the Northern Territory successfully took control of the 2 million troops and officially announced that the 2 million troops would join the Zhenbei Army.
In order to support the actions of Eunuch Xi, the Zhenbei Army also moved towards Jimeng Mountain. Once the two sides joined forces, this matter would become a foregone conclusion.
As for generals such as Jiao Zi, no one cared about their lives. Even the Liang court, which received the news, did not try to save them. This was the fate of losers. After they were no longer useful, no one cared about their lives.
Now, the role of Jiao Zi and others in this battle was infinitely weakened and no one paid attention to them.
Now the Liang court is more concerned about the next move of the Northern Territory.
The barbarians cooperated with the Northern Territory, and together with the Zhenbei Army and the surrendered Liang Army, the army deployed by the Northern Territory in the South Courtyard has exceeded 5 million, of which the cavalry is close to 1.5 million.
If the Zhenbei Army continues to move north, Liang will be in trouble.
The whole Liang State was paying attention to the actions of the Zhenbei Army, worried about the outbreak of a national war. Fortunately, after the Zhenbei Army reached Jimeng Mountain, it stopped to rest and did not take any further action.
The two barbarian cavalry, which were heading towards the hinterland, also stopped at the border of Nanyuan, seemingly with no intention of leaving Nanyuan.
So far, Liang State was relieved.
But then, the entire Liang State began to move. The loss of Nanyuan was unforgivable. Whether for the sake of territory or face, Nanyuan must be taken back, and even the war will be expanded to Xia State.
The troops of Liang State began to mobilize, and the commanders of various routes gathered towards Kyoto, and a larger-scale war began to brew.
Regardless of the movements of Liang State, the Zhenbei Army made every effort to consolidate the territory of Nanyuan and quickly reorganize the Liang Army to turn it into a real Zhenbei Army.
Both sides had their own goals and needed time. Liang State was temporarily quiet, waiting for the start of the next war.
At this time, Long Tian had already arrived in Leizhou and met Xue Rengui and Wang Jian.
It stands to reason that Yue Fei, who was in Danzhou and Xingzhou, was closer to attacking, but Long Tian did not let Yue Fei take the lead, mainly because Yue Fei did not have many troops, and he had to guard Zhongzhou and Zhangzhou, which was already stretched.
"My Lord, this is the intelligence about the War King of Dangzhou prepared according to your instructions."
Cao Zhengchun, as always, took out the intelligence that Long Tian wanted to see most at this moment.
The War King, as you can see from the title, is extremely warlike, and was also the first general under the command of the King of Pingxi.
It is said that there was a long-standing conflict between the War King and the King of Pingxi, and they were both very unhappy about many things.
In order to divide the power of the King of Pingxi, the old emperor conferred the War King and stationed him in Dangzhou, which was actually intended to guard against the King of Pingxi.
Now it seems that the old emperor should have been deceived at the beginning, and these two have been acting for today.
"The main force of Dangzhou is fighting in Linzhou. We only have 500,000 main forces in front of us to cooperate with some city guards. It is not a big problem to take them down."
Long Tian said casually while looking at the intelligence.
With Wang Jian's 500,000 Daqin Corps, there is no problem in dealing with these Dangzhou troops. With Wang Jian's cautious character and the intelligence assistance of Shadow, as long as they take every step carefully, they will be able to take them down.
"Your Majesty, this War King is really arrogant. Now he is right in front of us. It seems that he wants to fight with us."
Xue Rengui is young and energetic. He is eager to fight the War King opposite.
"That's not arrogant, that's courting death."
Long Tian said with a smile, and then gave an order.
"Without further delay, our army will act immediately and go to Dangzhou."
Now the army has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Long Tian's order.
Nearly one million troops marched into Dangzhou. The prince in Kyoto got the news immediately. Long Tian finally sent troops. No matter what Long Tian's purpose was, it was beneficial to the prince at the moment.
Then, the imperial army also marched into Linzhou and fought a bloody battle with the King of Pingxi.At the same time, things in Yunzhou were also progressing smoothly.
As a special envoy of the court, Lv Qing secretly entered Yunzhou and contacted the Yunzhou officials who had been contacted before.
For this operation, Lv Qing only brought his confidants, and the rest were from Shadow and Night Prison.
Lv Qing's goal this time was to get rid of the second prince and take over Yunzhou at the same time. For this purpose, Zhao Yun was ready in Danzhou next to him and could send troops to Yunzhou at any time.
Lujiao City is the location of the second prince's power.
Lv Qing has sneaked into Lujiao City.
"Everyone, I believe you are also aware of the current situation in Xia Kingdom. As long as you abandon the dark and join the light, I believe that His Royal Highness the King of the North will not pursue your past."
"I came here this time to help His Royal Highness take over Yunzhou. This is also your opportunity. I hope you can grasp it and don't make unnecessary resistance and sacrifices."
After leaving Kyoto, without the eyes of the court, it was almost the last moment, and Lv Qing didn't have to hide his identity anymore.
Everyone was a little shocked by Lv Qing's honesty.
When the court sent people to contact them at first, they were all in the name of the crown prince. They would also return to the orthodoxy, so they betrayed the second prince without hesitation.
But now, the people sent by the court, the great Taibao, are actually working on behalf of the Northern Territory. This is enough to show that the court has completely lost control over Xia.
Even the ministers in the court are looking for a way out for themselves, let alone these people.
If they were not still useful at this moment, I am afraid that no one would care about them. Once the Northern Territory army arrives, they will all become victims.
"Don't worry, sir, we will listen to your orders."
Although it is not to the point of being on a pirate ship, as Lu Qing said, who can't understand the situation in Xia? The Northern Territory is strong and powerful, expanding everywhere, and even breaking into Liang State and taking over a courtyard.
But the court is fighting internally, and there is no hope at all.
Everyone has a family, and their status is not low. Who is willing to lose everything they have now?
As for who has the final say in Xia State, it has nothing to do with them. All they need to do is maintain their own position.
