Chapter 215 United Guards Destroy Su (two chapters in one!)

In Chongzheng Hall——

Accompanied by Zheng Gong's name-calling inquiries, the palace almost "scrubbed" to cast a pair of eyes on a middle-aged official in Zheng Guogong's lineup.

The man had a majestic face, a straight nose and a square mouth, quite majestic. He was not afraid to meet the scrutinizing eyes. He got out of the train, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Yangping Pass has been lost. Su Guotun heavily guards the pass. If you want to regain this pass and recover Yingyin County, you have to send an army of 20!"

Although Yangping Dangerous Pass is not as steep and steep as Shijing Pass and Tiesuo Pass in Su State, if more than [-] troops are stationed there, it can also stop Zheng State from advancing northward.

Zheng Gong's face was shrouded in coldness, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Then send another 20 troops!"

Lu Du looked hesitant, but he hesitated to speak.

Zheng Gong frowned, and asked, "Lu Qing, what else can I say?"

Lu Du considered his words for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, a month ago, the flooded river flooded the eight counties, and nearly a million victims in the counties and counties were displaced and starved to death. , Now banditry is rampant, and not long ago, fifty thousand imperial troops were dispatched to aid the counties."

"This matter, I remember, a month ago Lu Sima said that he could not get rid of scabies, don't you need to worry about it?" Zheng Gong said in a deep voice.

Lu Du pondered for a moment, with a bitter expression on his face, and said: "Don't dare to lie to your majesty, time has changed and the situation has changed, and now the 11 troops on the front line have all died in the first battle, and more than a month has passed, and the Honghe River has flooded the counties. In the county, the officials are not doing enough to help the victims, and now the eight counties are full of smoke and bandits, and more imperial troops are needed to suppress them."

Zheng Gong frowned, feeling upset, and said coldly: "What are the chiefs of the eight counties and counties doing? Are they all mediocre people?"

Before Lu Du spoke, or before Zheng Gong's anger was fully charged, Fan Qiong who was below quickly took over the conversation and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I happen to know some details about this matter."

"Oh?" Zheng Gong asked intently.

Fan Qiong said in a deep voice: "This is someone with a heart secretly instigating the victims of the disaster, taking the opportunity to cause chaos, killing officials to rebel, and opening warehouses to release grain. I have already noticed that it is the remnants of Yuan Hua and Chen Erguo who took the opportunity to cause chaos!"

Zheng Gongdao: "These remnants, how dare you do this! The embargo is called in to suppress it. How can a group of disaster victims cause any chaos! I remember that there are 30 imperial troops in Xinzheng, and there should be 17 at this moment."

Lu Du mused, "Your Majesty, before attacking the Soviet Union, followed Pang Gong's advice and reinforced [-] imperial troops, one south and one east, to guard against the two kingdoms of Song and Chu."

Zheng Gong was at a loss for words when he heard the words.

Zheng Guo's imperial army is not his tiger talisman, not a single soldier can be transferred, but in the past few days, he was busy listening to Si Tianjian Yang Jian discussing the immortal way of longevity, but he forgot that he had previously dispatched an imperial army.

Now Xinzheng only has 11 brave forbidden troops, and they live in the capital of the country. How can they mobilize 20 troops to conquer Yangping Pass again.

Zheng Gong has a strong temperament, of course he will not admit that he has forgotten, but he interrupted in a cold voice: "There are 36 counties surrounded by a widow, with millions of armored soldiers and fierce generals gathered, it is unreasonable that they can't mobilize 20 troops!"

Little Sima Ludu couldn't say that it was now the 35th county. He was sure that if he really said this, he would be the next one to be torn apart by the car.

He had no choice but to look distressed, and explained: "Your Majesty, although our country has a large army, we still need to guard against the big kingdoms of Jin and Chu. Under the urgency, we really can't mobilize so many soldiers and horses. Moreover, since the beginning of summer, disasters have occurred frequently in all counties across the country. , For disaster relief, a huge amount of money, food, and corn was consumed, and Master Situ Jia knew about this."

At this moment, Lu Du also felt that if he continued arguing with Zheng Gong like this, even if he won the argument, he would have a bad impression. Instead, he would cause disaster, so he dumped the blame on Da Situ, one of Zheng Guo's six ministers.

At that time, a gray-haired, old-fashioned official came out to report and said: "Returning to your lord, what Lu Sima said is not bad. The country's grain, fodder, corn and rice have been consumed a lot in the past few months, and it seems that it can't make ends meet."

Zheng Gong fell silent for a moment when he heard the words, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, and his eyes kept flickering coldly.

Although the territory of Zheng State is vast and governs more than [-] counties, it is also bound to bring various problems—corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local bandits are rampant, and the development of counties and counties is uneven. ... Natural disasters and man-made disasters are staged in various counties and counties from time to time, and so on.

In a word, the low governance efficiency has turned many counties into burdens.

Even in a certain dynasty in later generations, there is a problem of transfer payment, so the bigger the Zheng country's stall is, the more constraints it has.

"How many troops can the country transfer at most?" Zheng Gong pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked.

It can be seen from this that this middle-aged prince who has been in power for 23 years is not the irritable and irritable temperament that he showed before. He has reached the point where he can control his emotions freely and do whatever he wants.

Lu Du thought for a moment and said, "At most one hundred thousand soldiers and horses can be dispatched."

When Zheng Gong heard this, his face darkened.

Yuzhou is the largest country with millions of armored troops, but now it can only draw out another [-] imperial troops.

Of course, it is not impossible to conscript soldiers temporarily, but the preparation period will take one or two months, which is a bit impatient for Zheng Gong, who is eager to avenge his shame.

"One hundred thousand, can you guarantee to conquer Yangping Pass and regain the lost ground?" Zheng Gong asked with his eyes flickering.

Lu Du shook his head, then lowered his head and replied, "I dare not speak nonsense."

When Zheng Gong saw this, he was rarely angry, instead his face changed and he secretly planned.

With the crazy expansion of Zheng State in recent years, suspicions have arisen with several countries in Yuzhou. Even a "benevolent" country like Song State feels intolerable for Zheng State's insatiable desire to expand land.

With heavy troops stationed in the border area, they are waiting for an opportunity to recapture the four counties of Yongqing that were invaded by Zheng Gong 17 years ago.

Now that Zheng State has lost a lot, all the countries are cheering. It can be said that Zheng State is in trouble, and everyone praises it.

At this time, the next Grand Priest standing silently——Fan Qiong, suddenly cupped his hands and stepped out, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to destroy the State of Su."

Zheng Gong was stunned when he heard the words, and then he realized that his face was happy, and said: "The plan will be safe?"

"Lianwei destroys the Soviet Union!" Fan Qiong raised his head, showing a dignified face, and said two words lightly in his mouth.

Hearing this, Zheng Gong thought about these two words over and over in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the better he said softly: "The state of Wei has always been at odds with our country. Ten years ago, he also sent troops to help the Soviet Union reject me. How could the state of Wei turn against us? For me, to attack the Soviet Union together?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Guo helped the country back then because he was afraid that I would be powerful in the country, but after helping Su Guo, Wei Jun married his sister to Marquis Su Guo Yi, and not long after, she conceived a son named Su Ming." Fan Qiong Xuxu said, with a strange expression on her face, and said: "However, not long ago, this generation of Marquis Su came to the throne. First, he killed the younger sister of Lord Wei on the charge of murdering the first emperor, and then Su Ming, the youngest son of Marquis Yi, followed. Die suddenly... the conspiracy and calculations inside are obvious."

"So, this little Suhou is really ferocious, like a beast and a wolf." Zheng Gong sneered coldly.

Fan Qiong nodded, and said: "Wei Jun married his younger sister to Marquis Su Guoyi, and continued to be his wife. He originally planned to usurp the foundation of the Su Kingdom by abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones. Su Hou's actions can be regarded as pre-emptive strikes." That's all."

Zheng Gongdao: "I don't know about this matter. Ten years ago, I asserted that it is almost inevitable that the country of Su will be destroyed by Xiao Qiang in the future."

"The things that happened later really proved what you said in the past." Fan Qiong flattered Zheng Gong, and then continued: "If you send an envoy to Weidu, contact Weiguo, and attack Su from the north and the south. , A total of [-] elite soldiers from the defending country may be exchanged for Sujiang."

Hearing this, Zheng Gong's eyes lightened slightly, and he said, "You can give it a try."

However, after the Central Court of Zheng State formulated the military strategy of the United Guards to attack the Soviet Union, the matter came to an end.

Zheng Guo Palace · Apse

The palace is extravagant and magnificent, majestic and majestic, with back-to-back corridors and high eaves. Pieces of blue glazed tiles cover the palace, and under the sunlight, they radiate dazzling light.

In a three-storey Qionglou Yuge, Zheng Yun'er Fulan looked at the beautiful pavilions and pavilions of the Zheng Guogong Garden, her eyes gradually fascinated.

This Princess Zheng Guozhaoyang is wearing a sky blue streamer embroidered long dress, with a delicate and gorgeous hair bun, hanging like a waterfall of blue silk at her waist, with a slim and quiet figure, and a blue headband on her forehead that is as clean as jade. Buckle sea blue glass.

At this moment, between Zheng Yun'er's brows and eyes, there was a faint gloomy look, her heart was full of complicated emotions, and the scenes of Fengle County's obsession emerged in her heart.

It was a complex emotion of joy, pain, and humiliation.

"He really did it. With a mere weak country, the weak defeated the strong. This is the appearance of a generation of heroes..."

Zheng Yun'er murmured in a low voice.

Secretly poohed.

"Your Highness, I have found out." At this moment, a court lady in a vermilion skirt came trotting all the way from the corner of the palace, holding her skirt. With the crystal sweat brought up by running.

Zheng Yun'er heard the words, and turned her head away quickly. The clear eyes under Chunshan's black eyebrows showed a look of expectation, but in just a moment, she felt ashamed of her impatient concern, her head slightly turned, clear and clear Run's gaze slowly drifted into the distance, his eyes wandering.

Twisting a strand of hair from her temples with her slender hands, she said as if nothing had happened, "How did you discuss the matter in front?"

The court lady said in a clear voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Zheng will send another 20 troops to attack Su."

"Send troops?" Zheng Yun'er frowned, and said, "Go on."

The maid continued: "But I heard that it is difficult to mobilize troops. Dazai Fan Gong said that he sent a messenger to Weiguo to contact the army of Weiguo, and attacked Su from the north and the south, and divided the territory of Su."

Zheng Yun'er's crystal-clear and beautiful face changed slightly, and a complex emotion appeared in her heart, which was a kind of overwhelming pleasure, containing a trace of hidden worry that surprised even herself.

Seeing the surprised look on the maid's face, Zheng Yun'er's flawless white face was covered with another layer of frost, and said lightly: "I know, you go down first."

It was only when the court lady turned and walked away that Zheng Yun'er looked at the northern sky with her faint eyes, and murmured coldly: "It would be better to destroy Su Guo, Su Zhao, the humiliation you brought to me... I must return it to you." !"

And just when Zheng Yun'er was thinking complicatedly.

Zheng Guoxin Zheng, on the bustling street, a middle-aged scholar with an elegant face and holding a cloth banner walked through the busy street to a wine shop at the entrance of the street, stepped into it with curtains, sat down, and smiled. Said: "Xiao Er, bring a pot of good wine, and then serve some appetizers."

Through the curtains of the bamboo mat, Mr. Yan raised his eyes and carefully looked at the lucky golden dragon above Zheng Guo's palace. .”

In Mr. Yan's vision of Su State, if Su State wants to gain momentum in Tianyuan Kyushu, where the heroes are competing, they must rise step by step, occupying the land of Qiantian, and then set up Zhongzhou. But in this way, they will always face a challenge. The problem is the threat of Zheng Guo's northward advance.

Of course, Zheng Guo will not sit back and watch Su Guo go northward to calmly attack, and he is bound to harass him later.

"As for Qianlong, the early stage is the most important thing. One step is fast, one step is fast. If you have been in Yuzhou for several years, the victory and defeat in the world will be divided. Even if you occupy Yuzhou completely, it will be difficult to stop the attack of Zhou and other countries."

"Holding Zheng Guo's hands and feet and preventing him from looking north is the key. Where is the breaking point?" Mr. Yan sensed the vigilance of Qi Luck Dragon, and quickly withdrew his visiting gaze.

Yingyin County · Sheriff's Yamen

In the study room, a lamp is like a bean, casting a tall and straight figure on the window paper.

Su Zhao was standing with his hands behind his back at this moment, standing in front of a screen with a map of mountains and rivers hanging on it, his face was silent, his eyes were deep in thought.

As time passed, the first round of the national war between Su and Zheng had come to an end, and it ended with a complete victory for Su, including Zheng Zhiying and half of Wuyang County.

As a result, the territory of Su State increased from the original seven counties to eight counties, and the remaining time was to consolidate and digest the fruits of victory.

"Now the goal is to block Zheng Guo's counterattack, firmly defend this county and a half, and then plan the next plan." Su Zhao looked at Xinzheng on the map - the capital of Zheng Guo.

One day, if he can lead an army to capture Xinzheng, how happy would it be?

When Zheng Yun'er was in a state of confusion and fascination, he had boldly said that he would make Zheng Yun'er stick up her buttocks on that golden chair in the Chongzheng Palace where Zheng Gong was in charge...

Just when Su Zhao was distracted, Fan Xiao, who was standing beside him with his sword, said coldly: "You villain, you raised your eyebrows, you must be thinking of something good..."

Su Zhao glanced at the girl who was becoming more and more charming, her cheeks were as smooth as snow, and her skin was rosy, and said, "Xiao'er, you are getting to know Gu better."

Fan Xiao said: "Who knows you.

Su Zhao teased a few words, sat on the chair, and hugged the cold-faced girl on his lap, ignoring her slight struggles and wandering hands, and asked casually, "By the way, why haven't I seen your mother these few days?"

"Mother..." Fan Xiao frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and said: "She found some personal belongings of her adoptive father, and said that she would... erect a tomb on the Honghe River in Fengle."

Su Zhao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said, "At that time, your adoptive father..."

"You villain, you don't need to explain..." Fan Xiao's voice gradually became delicate, and he whispered.

Just when the two were entangled, Su Zhao frowned, helped up Fan Xiao, who had flushed cheeks and half-undressed, and said, "I still have something to do, I will come to accompany you later."

After saying that, he left the study room, gathered his thoughts, came under the eaves, and asked, "What's the situation in Zheng Guo?"

At this time, a woman dressed in palace clothes fell from the plane tree in the courtyard, it was Dan Que, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the news just came from Xinzheng that Zheng Guo will send an envoy to contact Wei Guo."
