All Hail Cousin Brother

"Affected by the drought, the Di people have frequently invaded the north in the past two years. If we send troops now, in three months at most, we can capture a city along the way and go straight to Quanzhou. In autumn, the Di people will stock up on supplies for the winter. They will definitely meet The attack is so fierce that King Wu Muding of the North has more time to focus on fending off foreign enemies."

In such a comparison, the advantage of King Liang is simply too obvious. If he doesn't rebel now, will he have to wait for King Wu Muding to stabilize the northern territory before rebelling? !

That's getting kicked in the head by a donkey.

Some people echoed: "This statement is very true. The Di people invaded and the northern border lost its defense. The Di people marched straight in and took the capital directly. The Zhou Dynasty was likely to face the dilemma of internal and external attacks. This kind of thing has never happened in history. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. Even if the imperial court had the intention, it would not ask King Wu Muding of the North to send troops.”

Yin Huaixi is the first barrier against Beidi and cannot be missed.

There are many soldiers and horses in the capital, and they are the most well-equipped and elite soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty. There are also many generals who can fight. How can Yin Huaixi have time to defend himself against foreign enemies? !

King Liang was waiting for this opportunity and wanted to take advantage of it.

"King Wu Mu cannot send troops to help, so he can avoid a direct confrontation with King Wu Mu."

"It's not that he is afraid of King Wu Mu. The prince aims at Jingzhao and avoids a head-on battle with King Wu Mu. He also wants to recuperate and preserve his strength. As long as the prince captures Jingzhao, draws the ground as a prison, and occupies a natural defensive position, he can gather the remaining forces of Jingzhao. We will use our military strength to harvest the capital’s resources, and then we won’t be afraid of the lack of supplies in the north.”

"King Wu Mu was tripped up by Beidi, so the prince has no worries."

"..."

Everyone discussed it and immediately realized that it was indeed the best time to send troops at this time.

Not only could he avoid King Wu Mu, but he could also catch the court by surprise.

Having said that, one of the staff still had objections: "Having said that, the garrison stationed in the Rehe area is the first barrier for Jingsanhu. The army of 500,000 is not a vegetarian."

The person guarding Rehe is Prince Duanjun, a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. It was he who initiated the palace coup together with the Queen Mother, who was still the queen, and helped Jin Shang ascend the throne. Only then did Prince Duan's palace become rich and prosperous. .

Rehe is located in Hebei, adjacent to Jingzhao. The two armies are still fighting. The imperial court has also sent additional reinforcements to counter the rebellion. The exhaustion can also kill people.

After taking Rehe, the army will definitely suffer heavy losses and will need a long period of rest and recuperation. During the rest and recuperation period, the imperial court will continue to send troops to quell the rebellion.

This is one of the reasons why since ancient times, ministers have rarely rebelled and few have succeeded.

Liang Jingxuan winked at an aide, who immediately understood and immediately retorted: "That being said, the soldiers stationed in Rehe are usually well-off in the army and have never even fought a few decent battles. , just with a smooth face, actually went to the battlefield, fought with real swords and guns, and became a soft-footed shrimp, how can it be compared to our Liang Jun, who has experienced hundreds of battles and is bloody?"

"Don't forget that the Third Battalion of Beijing has 150,000 soldiers and horses. Together with the Yulin Army and the Clan Guards, the total number is no less than 200,000. They are the most elite troops of the Zhou Dynasty, equipped with the most advanced equipment. Excellent equipment and weapons.”

"Why don't you feel hot when you usually take advantage of the prince? But when things come to a head, you just act like a coward and try to sway the morale of the army?! Those who use the military to sway the morale of the army should be killed in battle according to law, as a warning to others."

"Those idiots in Beijing are just greedy for pleasure. For so many years, they can't even settle Shandong, so what's there to be afraid of?!"

…

The room suddenly became noisy.

King Liang did not stop him. Everyone who has been on the battlefield knows that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

It wasn't until the two veterans almost started fighting that King Liang stopped him: "Everyone, please calm down. There is no doubt about Liang Jun's strength and superiority, but when you go to the battlefield, you have to fight with your life. Any superiority , don’t even think about luck. This is originally a tough battle. You all here trust each other with your life. How much trust you have. Goshawks and rabbits still have to go all out. While we are proud of our strength, we should also be cautious and don’t underestimate it. Any opponent.”

With just one sentence, a war was settled.

King Liang also knew that this was a tough battle, and he wanted to fight it because he had no way out. He had colluded with the Weining Hou Mansion to persecute King Zhou Li earlier, which was already a treasonous act.

Now Uncle Ning Yuan is in jail. Because Concubine Lan has been restored and the emperor is seriously ill and cannot leave the palace, Uncle Ning Yuan's case has never been tried, which gives him more time to make plans.

But if there is no trial now, it does not mean that there will never be trial. This matter is a knife hanging over his head. If he is not careful, the fate of King Zhou Li will be his end.

Is he willing?

Not willing to give in!

It's still death, why not give it a try before you die?

Now was the best time to raise troops. If they missed it, they would have no chance again when King Wu Muding of the North had completely settled the northern territory.

Liang Jingxuan naturally understood what his father and son were thinking, so he took a dagger and slashed his palm hard, and blood immediately poured out of his palm.

He held his palm, and the bright red blood slowly dripped into the wine glass along the seams of his hands, dyeing the clear wine red.

Pulling it, Liang Jingxuan raised his wine glass high and said loudly: "Liang Jingxuan is here to make a blood alliance with you. Please believe in our father and son, and work together with our father and son to achieve great things. When we achieve great things in the future, we will definitely reward you for your hard work and merit, and live up to your lives." Please drink this glass of wine first as a token of respect!"

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

At that moment, there was an old minister who also cut his palm and dripped blood into the glass. He raised his wine glass and stood up: "Your Majesty has great ambitions and we will follow him to the death."

"I will follow you to the death."

"Follow me to the death."

"..."

No one present mentioned that the eldest son Liang Jingye was sent to Beijing as a "proton". Everyone knew that Liang Jingye was a dead man from the day he entered Beijing.

News that the emperor was seriously ill and could not attend court was circulated privately in the court.

At this moment, someone in the court proposed to try Ning Yuanbo's case.

"Ning Yuanbo was suspected of cheating in the scientific examination. The trial should have been immediately, but due to many reasons, it had to be postponed repeatedly. Now this case should also be concluded, and those students who were innocently implicated in the cheating case and died in prison should be repaid. Even if we are just, the hearts of thousands of students all over the world will not be cold."

His words stood on the high point of justice and morality and won the support of many courtiers.

"The imperial court needs fresh blood to keep running. The purpose of recruiting officials through scientific examinations is to select talents for the imperial court to govern the country and secure the country. It is an act of establishing the country and revitalizing the country. It must not be ignored. Ning Yuanbo's case has been delayed. For so long, many students have complained, and if it continues to be delayed, it will inevitably affect the prestige of the imperial court and affect the selection of officials in the next term. "
