Chapter 1171 1172【Chassis】

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

Xu Huiyan knew that this attack would completely break Xu Churong's heart, and that the rift between father and daughter could never be repaired. However, on the way back to Jian'an City from Bihu Villa, he never showed any trace of sadness, only his eyes.

Quiet and rest your mind.

"Father, my little sister..." Xu Xi hesitated before speaking.

Xu Huiyan still closed his eyes and said calmly: "She will be fine."

Xu Xi sighed softly and said no more.

The carriage drove into Jian'an City and then turned directly to the Nancheng Palace.

In the side hall of Daqing Hall, Emperor Qingyuan, Xian Chunqiu and Fang Xiexiao were all there.

Xu Huiyan walked slowly into the palace and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"The first assistant does not need to be polite. If someone comes, he will be given a seat."

Emperor Qingyuan looked a little unnatural. After all, his love for Qinghe and Xu Churong over the past ten years cannot be faked. But now that the child from Qinghe has left his hometown and moved to Liang alone, Xu Churong has been taken advantage of again. Although this time it was Xu Huiyan who took the initiative to speak.

The plan, as the emperor, he was happy to see it come to fruition, but he would inevitably feel a little guilty in his heart.

Xu Huiyan's face remained as usual. After thanking him, he sat on the left side and glanced at the two military and aircraft ministers opposite him. Then he looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the false information has been sent to Jiangbei. My daughter drafted it according to the agreement between her and Bei Mian. There was no one during the whole process.

If you are careful, you can deceive Pei Yue."

Emperor Qingyuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your help."

Xu Huiyan lowered his head and said: "I don't dare."

Xian Chunqiu, who was on the opposite side, also sighed with emotion: "The chief minister has far-reaching plans, which is really a blessing for the country. In fact, I heard that Miss Xu often contacted some aristocratic families after returning from Jiangbei the year before last. I had a premonition that this was a move of the chief minister.

Dark chess."

Xu Huiyan said expressionlessly: "If this were not the case, it would not be enough to win the trust of the Northern Liang monarchs and ministers, especially a man with a deep city like Pei Yue."

There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that the communication between Xu Churong and Pei Yue cannot be hidden from the people who are interested. From the time when she followed the mission north to Liang State to meet Pei Yue, to the subsequent entanglement between the two at the Donglin Cultural Conference, and her safe and sound return from the North Bank.

The return of Puqicheng shows that there must be a story between her and Pei Yue.

As for matters such as making friends with aristocratic families and placing confidants in the court after she returned, how could she avoid the sight of people like Emperor Qingyuan and Xian Chunqiu?

In other words, Xu Churong was able to continue to communicate with the north after returning because of Xu Huiyan's acquiescence and connivance. Otherwise, with the energy of the head of the Xu family in Qinghe and the chief minister of the dynasty, it would be easy to cut her off from the outside world.

The reason Xu Huiyan did this was just to hope that Xu Churong would gain Pei Yue's trust and switch sides at the most critical moment.

At this moment, the chief minister's face did not look good. Emperor Qingyuan could understand it completely. After all, Xu Churong was his most beloved daughter. He had to act like this for the sake of the safety of the country, but he must have felt guilty in his heart.

Upon thinking of this, Emperor Qingyuan changed the topic and said, "How to arrange the next step, all the ministers can speak freely."

Fang Xiexiao said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing now is to wait."

Emperor Qingyuan looked at him and asked, "Wait?"

Fang Xiexiao said calmly: "Yes. Your Majesty, it will take time for the false information to be delivered to the monarchs and ministers of Beiliang, and it will also take time for them to make relevant responses. When Beiliang shifts its defense focus to the west and central fronts, our court will be able to

Take the next step.”

Everyone knows that the area between Jiangling City and Hanyang City in the north will be the most important place for the Beiliang Border Army to defend. There are a total of 80,000 troops stationed in these two strong cities, plus the troops in the three nearby auxiliary cities.

garrison,

The total force reached 100,000. On the north bank of Tiancang River, Changping Camp, Qinian Camp, Zhennan Camp, Gulei Camp, and Yaoshan Camp were lined up from west to east, guarding the river that stretched for more than 2,000 miles.

Line of defense.

According to the forged military information Xu Churong sent to the north, the Zhou army would, on the premise of guarding against the Liang army on the south bank, assemble heavy troops to force a crossing from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River, and then launch an offensive deep into the rear of the Liang army's defense line.

After Pei Yue received this news, Liang Jun's defense focus on the north bank would inevitably focus on the Sizhou area to the west, and the Yaozhou defense line on the east coast would definitely be empty.

Xian Chunqiu nodded slightly when he heard this, and then added: "The actions on the surface can continue. The Wufeng Navy must make an aggressive posture and clear out Liang Jun's warships in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River. At the same time, the Chengbei Camp premise

Thirty miles away, send a large number of

Targeting the Liang Army's spies on the south bank, the Rangers must block them within the line between Jiangling City and Hanyang City. In addition, the imperial court can ask civilians to transport carriages and horses disguised as food and baggage to the Ningguo camp, and plan to march from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River.

the illusion.”

This is the proper meaning of the title. The monarchs and ministers in the palace did not think that just based on Xu Churong's secret letter, Pei Yue would be convinced of the strategy of the south, and would definitely send people to investigate on both sides of the river in the future.

"What Marquis Jubei said makes sense." Emperor Qingyuan showed a hint of approval, then looked at Fang Xiexiao and asked, "How is the construction of the new warship going?"

Fang Xiexiao replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, the two shipyards in the southeast of Pingjiang Town are working day and night. Twenty-two warships of various types have been delivered so far. In order to avoid attracting Beiliang's attention, these warships are hidden in Ninghai Port.

.The recall of veterans of the navy is progressing smoothly, and the infantry's shipboard drills are also proceeding simultaneously."

Emperor Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This time's grand strategy was jointly formulated by Xian Chunqiu and Fang Xiexiao. Sending false intelligence to the north was only the first step. Through this intelligence and various confusing measures, Beiliang focused its defense on the western front, and the Zhou Dynasty's background

The extremely deep navy will go north along the coastline and attack Yaozhou of Liang State, using this as a breakthrough point to prevent the opponent from looking at each other from head to tail.

Xian and Fang also considered Beiliang's possible response, which was to let Liang's troops from several cities on the south bank come out together, go straight to their own heartland, seize several passes in the north of Jian'an City with superior force, and then threaten the security of the capital.

That will be the real decisive battle.

After thinking about this strategy several times, Emperor Qingyuan looked at the two military ministers and said: "The Emperor of the State of Wu personally marched and mobilized all the domestic troops to attack the border of Liang State. At this time, their attention will be on the west, even if they guess

When I send troops to the north, I will be forced to take a defensive stance. Therefore, Duke Zhen's suggestion is very appropriate. When Liang falls into the quagmire to the west, we will send troops to the north again."

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Qingyuan said to Xian Chunqiu again: "Xian Hou, the Liang army on the south bank will be handed over to you."

Xian Chunqiu stood up and responded: "Your Majesty, this old minister must die!"

Emperor Qingyuan said approvingly: "Good."

The reason why he was persuaded by the military was because of the concerted efforts shown by Fang Xiexiao and Xian Chunqiu this time. According to their discussion, the war started and Xie Xiao led the newly built navy to cross the sea and march northward with the Pingjiang disciples.

Open the Yaozhou defense line in Beiliang. Xian Chunqiu will lead troops to sit at Xuyang Pass in the north, facing the enemy Liang's 100,000 troops deployed on the south bank.

Xu Huiyan remained silent.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more harmonious. Under the encouragement of the two military giants, Emperor Qingyuan not only put down his worries, but also developed some rare ambitions. As the saying goes, if Wei loses his deer, the whole world will chase him away. Is it true that Beiliang really

Invincible?

At this moment, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and it seemed that all the people in the country were united in their hearts, just waiting to defeat the Liang Kingdom in a battle. From then on, they would no longer be in a corner of peace, or they could plunder the rich lands in the north.

But...can Xian Chunqiu and Fang Xiexiao really let go of their past grudges and work together to serve the country loyally?

Xu Huiyan believed that they would not betray the Zhou Dynasty and go to the Liang Kingdom. Not to mention Xian Chunqiu, Fang Xiexiao must also consider the emotions of the Pingjiang children, because in the past few decades, countless Pingjiang children died under the swords and guns of Liang Jun. This

It is a feud that cannot be washed away by the ever-flowing Tiancang River.

However, they insist on provoking this national war, and their original intention may not be as simple as they appear.

"I leave it to the Chief Assistant for all the weapons, food, and domestic stability needed by the army."

Emperor Qingyuan's gentle voice came.

Xu Huiyan woke up from his worries, his face remained calm, and he replied in a deep voice: "I obey your order."

It was already dark when we left the palace, and the new wind blowing from the north brought a strong chill.
