Chapter 225
Xue Rengui has been attacking Leizhou for a while, but the results are not very ideal.
With Xue Rengui's ability, it would not be so difficult, but Long Tian only gave him 200,000 Zhenbei troops, but he had to face the entire Leizhou. It was indeed difficult to win quickly.
Long Tian believed that as long as Xue Rengui was given enough time, Xue Rengui could take Leizhou with the existing troops, but Long Tian would not give him so much time.
"Let Wang Jian take Jizhou as soon as possible, and then lead the army to cooperate with Xue Rengui to attack Leizhou."
Although it was difficult to deal with Liang State, Long Tian decided not to use other troops in the North for the time being. The struggle within Xia State was equally important.
Especially the situation in Liang State could not be hidden from others. Long Tian guessed that at this critical juncture, someone might jump out to target the North.
Long Tian's concerns were right.
When the news that Liang State gathered 5 million troops and arrived at the South Court of Liang State spread, many people were watching the reaction of Long Tian in the North.
Especially the royal family, they hope to see Long Tian fail the most, and they are also worried that Long Tian will fail too quickly. If that happens, no one can stop Liang's attack.
For the royal family, the best result is that both sides will suffer losses, and they will come out to clean up the mess. However, no one can say whether such a situation will occur, so they can only make corresponding preparations.
Kyoto, the palace.
The prince is very uncomfortable. As the legitimate first heir of Xia, the old emperor has been dead for more than a month, and he has not been able to succeed to the throne smoothly. For him, this is not just a simple torture, but a humiliation.
However, his strength is not strong enough, and those who support him have various considerations. In order to balance the relationship between all parties, the prince can only compromise.
However, he can't sit on the throne, and he has to worry about things one after another.
"My lords, Liang's ambitions are already obvious. If Long Tian can't stop Liang's attack, what should we do?"
The prince is worried about gains and losses at this moment. Facing such a situation, the prince is obviously unable to cope.
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Even if Liang defeated the North, it would not be done in a short time. We still have enough time to prepare."
Prime Minister Yan Tianyu was also a little exhausted. There were too many things happening recently, and the old guy seemed to have aged a few years.
"Yes, the strength of the North is unknown, but it is definitely not so easy to fail."
"In Zhenzhou, Danzhou, Xingzhou, and Leizhou, the Zhenbei Army showed no signs of withdrawing and returning, and they are still attacking continuously. This is enough to show that Long Tian has the confidence to face Liang."
Grand Master Lin Jinnan analyzed.
If the North finds that its strength is insufficient, it will definitely mobilize all available forces when facing such a strong opponent as Liang. After all, the Zhenbei Army in these states has a lot of troops.
But now the Zhenbei Army distributed in Xia State has no signs of returning to help, which is enough to explain the situation.
Hearing the places mentioned by Lin Jinnan, the prince had a headache again.
The forces targeted by this bastard Long Tian almost all belong to the royal family. Even if the crown prince and the second prince are at odds and fighting for the throne, if this continues, the power of the royal family will soon be wiped out by Long Tian.
If there are problems in these states, the royal family will only have Huaizhou, Zhongzhou, and Yunzhou left, and they will still be surrounded by all sides, and life will be even more difficult.
Moreover, if Long Tian is able to solve these states, he will probably not stop, and even Zhongzhou will soon usher in war.
This is why the crown prince does not want Long Tian to be too strong and Liang State to be able to get rid of Long Tian.
However, if the northern border collapses, the wandering Liang army enters Xia State, and the Jin soldiers in Zhenzhou are added, the crown prince knows very well what this means.
"Prime Minister, has the King of Pingxi not given an accurate reply yet?"
The crown prince asked, and thinking of his uncle, the crown prince also had a headache.
Now that the royal family is weak, his uncle still does not care and stays in Xiguan City to watch the jokes of himself and others.
"Your Highness, when the King of Pingxi gave up the fight for the throne, he was forced to do so. I'm afraid he has some complaints in his heart."
"Now that Xia is in chaos, anyone has the opportunity to ascend to the throne in one step. I'm afraid the King of Pingxi has other ideas in his mind."
Yan Tianyu's words were really disrespectful. What does it mean that anyone has a chance? The prince was dissatisfied, but he had no choice. He still had to rely on this strongest backer.
The late Emperor Xiao Jingrui and the King of Pingxi Xiao Jingyi were brothers. At first, they both had ambitions to fight for the throne, but they all relied on their own maternal clan.
It is simply unrealistic to support two people with the strength of one family at the same time, and there is the possibility of internal fighting.
If they leave the support of their maternal clan, the strength of the two will be greatly weakened, and there is basically no possibility of fighting for the throne.
In order to successfully obtain the throne and maintain the status of their maternal clan, after various partiesAfter negotiation and compromise, they reached an agreement.
Fully supporting Xiao Jingrui, that is, the old emperor, naturally succeeded.
But Xiao Jingyi, who lost his chance, stayed in Xiguan City forever. It was more like exile than a gift from the royal family. The old emperor was still worried about his brother.
If no one intervened, Xiao Jingyi would have died long ago, given the old emperor's temperament. Xiao Jingyi must have known this.
Now that the royal clan house is gone, there are only a few little guys left to support the scene. How could Xiao Jingyi care about them?
"General Su, can Lu Taibao enter Zhenzhou now?"
The prince changed the subject and asked Su Jingshan.
Su Jingshan took away the main force controlled by the royal family this time. This is not to say that it is the last hope of the royal family. If something goes wrong, the prince will be finished.
"Your Highness, General Su and the other two have arrived in Huaizhou and will soon enter Zhenzhou."
The army is moving, and the speed will naturally not be too fast.
"Order Su Taiwei to first deal with the Zhenbei Army after arriving in Zhenzhou, and then resist the Jin soldiers."
"This operation is of great importance. Order Su Taiwei to keep Zhenzhou and defeat the Jin soldiers. If possible, bring the bastard Xiaoyao Wang back to Kyoto for me."
The prince hated many people at this moment, not only Long Tian, Pingxi Wang, the second prince, Zhennan Wang and others, but also Xiaoyao Wang.
Especially Xiaoyao Wang, this bastard actually let the Jin soldiers enter the country at the most critical moment of Xia Kingdom. Fortunately, Long Tian reacted quickly enough to control the situation within Zhenzhou, otherwise it would be a full-scale war.
Now the situation has been temporarily eased, and Leizhou controlled by the prince has also gone to war with the northern border, so this northern border force should be kept as much as possible.
For the prince, this army is not important, mainly to vent his anger and hit the morale of the northern border at the same time.
But the prince had no idea how powerful the Golden Fire Cavalry was. There were also more than ten generals including Li Jing. Even if they really fought, the outcome would be unpredictable. There was also the King Xiaoyao who was eyeing them covetously. This move was tantamount to self-destruction.
Fortunately, the person sent was Su Jingshan, so this situation would not happen again.
