Chapter 32: The Army Gathers, Liangzhou Campaign

Chapter 32: The Army Gathers, Liangzhou Campaign
The central government of the empire was operating at full capacity to ensure the progress of the Liangzhou Campaign and did not dare to slack off.

Although Yanzhou has not yet been completely recovered, it is only a matter of time.

As for the obvious thing, Your Majesty wants to take over Yanzhou, counterattack Liangzhou, and take back the two states.

The sky is changing, and the situation at court is also changing.

Chu Feng was stationed in the imperial capital, coordinating all these.

An emperor needs to have a broad perspective.

There is a sentence in Taizu Yulu.

Do one step and look three steps ahead.

That is, after you make this move, you have to think about what will happen next and how many changes will occur so as not to be led by the nose by others.

Chu Feng deeply agreed.

In the past, the imperial court was too passive.

Being led by Prince Ning, they always fought according to other people's ideas and were unable to bring out the strength of the imperial army.

It’s not that the court doesn’t have strong people, but the series of failures have caused people to lose confidence.

The more Chu Feng read Taizu's Quotations, the more he felt that it was a treasure trove.

The profoundness of it is such that one can truly learn the art of being an emperor.

now.

Where King Ning is.

Chu Cang's brows were furrowed.

He already knew about the war in Jianzhou.

Marquis Yuan Ding died.

Two marquises have died beside him.

Another big defeat.

Ever since he arrived in Qianzhou, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Wang Ben, son of Wang Jian, where on earth did this father and son come from? They are ruining my plan!"

Chu Cang's expression was extremely cold, and he crushed the cup in his hand.

"The prince is a little confused, this is not good."

Yang Tianhai's voice rang in his ears.

"Old Taoist, you are quite calm. Jianzhou was defeated. Our previous plan to open up the four western states failed. Yanzhou is no longer safe. And Wang Ben will definitely invade Liangzhou and cut off our connection with the tribes in the western border."

Chu Cang said.

No wonder he is.

After all, the throne was within reach.

Now that unexpected events have occurred one after another, even Prince Ning feels unstable.

"It's not that I'm calm enough, but it has already happened. Wang Ben's appearance is indeed unexpected. Without him, Jianzhou would have been won."

Yang Tianhai calculated everything, but he couldn't predict that there would be Wang Ben. He continued, "Your Majesty, what we need to do now is to deal with the fierce counterattack of the imperial army."

"I know." Chu Cang said, "Wang Ben, Duke Yang has gathered his troops together. With the current strength of Liangzhou, it is impossible to resist. We need support."

"Since we are not at the center of the battle, some troops in the rear area can be mobilized." Yang Tianhai said.

"One move can affect the entire body. Do you think that the loss of Yanzhou is the only thing that worries me? The chain reaction it caused is far greater than the loss."

Chu Cang said.

He won consecutive victories with an overwhelming momentum and won the hearts of so many people, so he didn't have to spend much effort to conquer so many states.

Yang Tianhai said: "I know that the prince is worried. Some people who originally wanted to side with the prince will now stand on the side of the court with all their strength. This will become a problem, and some of the chess pieces I have deployed will also lose a lot of their effectiveness. Now if I want to win the hearts and minds of the people and gather the momentum, I need to regain them through the bloody battle in Liangzhou."

He is very smart, but also a demon.

The imperial court has already won over many people's hearts and minds.

He also stopped looking down on the current emperor.

"We must make good use of the power of some families in the Western Territory and use them to deplete the strength of the imperial army."

Yang Tianhai pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to promise more benefits and explain the pros and cons. If Liangzhou cannot be defended, their situation will be even worse."

"I can let Duke Li guard Liangzhou."

Chu Cang said.

Yang Tianhai shook his head: "Duke Li should not go. He is responsible for the war in other directions. We cannot only focus on Liangzhou. Liangzhou will consume the power of the court. The prince will stay in Qianzhou to contain the power of the court. At the same time, the prince can send heavy troops to attack other prefectures to force the court to give up the attack. As for going to the western border, I will go there myself."

"You want to go in person?"

Chu Cang was a little surprised.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Yang Tianhai’s ability.

In fact, Yang Tianhai's strength was extremely strong, not inferior to that of the Duke of Daxia, and he also mastered some strange secrets. Yang Tianhai never revealed how he became an abandoned disciple of the Shenxiao Sect.

And Chu Cang could infer from the clues that he had a deep hatred for the Shenxiao Sect.

When the old man was still alive, Yang Tianhai was already by his side.

Especially after his eldest brother passed away, he had been trying to persuade him that it was his destiny.

"I must go. Duke Li is powerful, but he can't handle the relationship with the Western Territory families well. After I go, I can attract a group of strong people for the prince and select those who can be used by the prince."

Yang Tianhai said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave Liangzhou's affairs to you."

Chu Cang nodded.

And at this time.

Just when Prince Ning was dealing with the unexpected incident.

Yanyang Mansion.

Wang Ben has entered Yanyang City.

The rebels ran fast.

According to intelligence, the rebels were mobilized on a large scale to Liangzhou.

"Yanzhou will be taken soon, but there are so many strong rebels in Liangzhou, it will be troublesome. We can only attack by force."

Wang Ben is thinking.

Four Western States.

Liangzhou and Yaozhou are the most important.

The people of Liangzhou are tough and brave, and are good at riding cavalry.

"General, Duke Yang has come to Yanzhou in person!"

At this moment, a personal soldier of the Tiger Guard reported.

"Duke Yang is here." Wang Ben nodded, "Please come in, Duke Yang."

Soon, Duke Yang met Wang Ben in person.

"What a strong momentum."

It was the first time that Yang Yun met Wang Ben and felt that steady power. Even with his eighth-level strength, it would be difficult for him to suppress Wang Ben.

No wonder the battle for Jianzhou could be easily resolved.

"Please take a seat, Duke."

Wang Ben smiled and asked someone to bring tea.

Duke Yang nodded.

He would not use his status as a duke to suppress Wang Ben.

His father, Wang Jian, had eight levels of heaven-reaching power, so he was destined to be crowned a duke.

Sitting opposite each other.

"I came here this time to discuss the battle of Liangzhou with General Wang."

Yang Guo is fair.

Because of what happened to Wang Ben, the pressure on Yaozhou was greatly reduced.

"It just so happens that I also need to discuss the battle of Liang Province with the Duke."

Wang Ben smiled and said, "The imperial court is now constantly mobilizing strong men to enter Yanzhou, and the rebels have also gathered a large number of troops. They have anticipated the strength of our attack this time, and there must be a lot of support."

"The area of ​​Liangzhou is very complicated. Over the long years, it has been the capital of many separatist forces. However, the imperial court also wants to cut off the connection between Prince Ning and the western border, so it must be taken."

Duke Yang and Wang Ben analyzed the situation in Liang Province.

"I'm not worried about the rebels' support, but I'm worried about the trouble caused by the aristocratic families in the western border."

Duke Yang said deeply, "The cage strategy used by Taizu made them feel very uncomfortable. We only needed to let them continue to weaken so that they could be stable. Unfortunately, the civil strife in Daxia this time broke the cage."

"Then seal the cage again. Some noble families in the Western Territory are not just supporting Prince Ning, but they want to gain benefits from it and make Daxia more and more chaotic. In this situation, the only way to stop it is to kill them. I am also ready to fight a bloody battle with them in Liangzhou."

Wang Ben's expression was extremely cold: "And I think, don't give them too much time, launch the attack as quickly as possible!"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Yang Yun had no objection.

He knew very well what kind of people those noble families in the Western Territory were like.

Only when they are crippled and frightened will they behave themselves.
