Chapter 718 Yan Shouzhan sent troops(1/2)
Even worse news comes one after another.
Yan Shou Zhan raised troops to march south, claiming to lead 100,000 troops, but in fact, 20,000 troops frequently made big noises at the border between Youzhou and the Northern Wei.
It seems that I want to seize the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Liu Zhang was shocked!
Yan Yunge actually convinced Yan Shouzhan to send troops. What benefits did he promise?
If anyone sent troops, Liu Zhang wouldn't be so nervous.
Only Yan Shou Zhan, the forces hanging alone outside were nominally ministers of the Southern Wei, but in fact they were an independent local princes.
His independence is even higher than that of Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu.
Because Yuzhou is close to the territory of Southern Wei, it is easily constrained.
This problem does not exist in Youzhou where Yan guards the battle.
In addition, Yan Shou Zhan defended the border defense line, which was also considered a barrier for the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At present, Liu Zhang is not willing to go to war with Wu Heng, which is not beneficial!
Instead, it consumes troops and food.
With Yan guarding the border defense line, he feels relieved.
result……
Yan Shouzhan came to visit him, which was a headache.
While actively preparing for the war, he wrote to Yan Shouzhan and to Southern Wei Emperor Xiao Chengwen.
Yan Shouzhan’s reply was very simple.
"If you hit my daughter, I will hit you!"
Liu Zhang's eyes twitched in anger.
"I really didn't realize that he actually pampered Yan Yunge so much. It's ridiculous!"
"Yan Yunge's methods are really extraordinary. In the Southern Wei court, Emperor Xiao Chengwen was also in a panic. The three descendants left by Emperor Taining of Dezong became hidden dangers, and there was a lot of controversy inside and outside the court. If nothing unexpected happened, this matter was also secretly provoked by Yan Yunge."
"It's not only that. Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, dared to send troops, and even the Southern Wei court did not get any news before the incident."
The court officials talked about the changes in the world's situation in recent times.
I don’t know if I don’t say it. As soon as I talk about it, I realized that there is the shadow of Yan Yunge behind all the changes.
She is like a ghost, wherever there is an opportunity, there will be her shadow.
Liu Zhang angrily shouted, "You have long enough to stretch your hands!"
She is everywhere.
A woman who is restless and does not care about her husband and children, and she is thinking about competing for territory with the men all day long, and the world's atmosphere is ruined by her.
"Your Majesty, should you recall Your Highness?"
"Why do you need to recall Baoshun?"
"I think there is no need to continue this battle, and it is of no benefit. If the four coastal counties cannot be taken back for the time being, it is better to withdraw troops and wait for a good opportunity."
"I agree! It is spring plowing, and droughts are happening everywhere. In some areas, there has been no rain in nearly two months. It is time for the imperial court to distribute food and grass, carry out disaster relief, and let the people return to their hometowns to repair water conservancy, ensure irrigation, and thus ensure this year's autumn harvest."
"The Southern Wei Dynasty is not peaceful. This year, the peach blossom floods have been launched several times, and the seeds are soaked and drowned by the flood, causing heavy losses to the people. At the same time, drought has occurred in some places with high terrain. For the time being, the Southern Wei court can still cope with it.
However, I believe that Yan Yunge has paid attention to all this, and with her strategy, she will inevitably take measures. Once a problem occurs in a certain link, the Southern Wei court will inevitably be attacked from both sides. If you don’t want to withdraw, you can only choose to withdraw."
Liu Zhang frowned, and thousands of alpacas ran past him in his heart.
"According to my dear friends, even God is helping Yan Yunge? The Northern Wei Dynasty was drought, and the Peach Blossom Flood of the Southern Wei Dynasty was accompanied by drought. Whether it was our Northern Wei or Southern Wei, it is urgent to let the civilians return to their hometown to repair water conservancy and ensure this year's spring plowing and autumn harvest. Once the civilians retreat, there will be no one to transport food, grass and supplies, so how can the army fight?"
A court official muttered in a low voice: "Maybe Tian is really standing on the other side of Yan Yunge to help her overcome the current difficulties."
"absurd!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Before Liu Zhang could scold him, other court officials took the lead in roaring.
"Yan Yunge is just a woman, how can he be so good that God can help her. Don't say anything like that."
"This year is just a coincidence! It's impossible to be such a coincidence every time! Yan Yunge will sooner or later die."
"Your Majesty, make a decision! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He doesn't have to fight a war of attrition with Xiao Yi. He doesn't have to fight with Yan Shou Zhan and Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu."
Bang!
Liu Zhang punched the book desk, "Shut up!"
The court officials were silent and did not dare to speak.
Liu Zhang has too high prestige and no one dares to disobey him.
Liu Zhang walked around the hall with his hands on his back, frowned and thoughtful.
If Yan Yun and his troops were invading, he would not take the other party seriously.
Just one Yan Yuntong would not have to worry about His Majesty the Emperor, and the generals below could handle it themselves.
but……
Yan Shou Zhan is different!
Yan Shouzhan personally led the troops to invade. As the emperor, Liu Zhang must face it and be prepared to deal with it.
because……
Move the whole body.
Yan Yuntong only represents his personal thoughts and wishes.
Yan Shouzhan represents the will of the entire Youzhou soldiers and horses, and represents the entire Youzhou and the entire border line...
Its own significance is really significant.
He personally led the troops and expressed his attitude. This time he would stand on Yan Yunge's head and stand up for Yan Yunge.
trouble!
Liu Zhang does not want to start a war with Yan Shou for the time being, not because he cannot win, but because he is unnecessary.
Because he was not ready to take back the border front and was not ready to deal with the attacks in the Western Rong area of Wuheng.
Border defense...
It is an important thing that makes all the courts trouble.
The food and grass consumed every year are astronomical.
The required military resources are also a difficult problem.
It's great that Yan Shouzhan guards the border line for him.
In this way, he doesn't have to fight on both sides.
This is also a tacit understanding.
Keep the boundaries between each other and be at peace.
Now……
Yan Shouzhan took the initiative to break the boundaries, and he had to deal with them carefully.
"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops!"
"Shut up!"
"Your Majesty, once we withdraw our troops, the Southern Wei side will inevitably withdraw our troops. Without our Northern Wei's assistance, Xiao Chengwen could not persist in fighting on both sides for a long time. In addition, the Southern Wei court was making trouble. Instead of letting the Southern Wei withdraw our troops first, we will change from active to passive. It is better for us to withdraw our troops first and always take the initiative."
There are always ministers who are not afraid of death and boldly advise.
"Your Majesty, I think it's time to change the country's name. The fortune of the Great Wei is not as good as before, and it can be said that it is declining. The current situation can be regarded as a return to the future. Continue to use the country's name "Wei", the old minister thinks that he will be dragged down by the Southern Wei!"
"It's reasonable!"
As soon as the topic was discussed, it was about changing the country number.
This topic is not the first time it has been raised.
Since Liu Zhang ascended the throne and became emperor, someone has advised to change the country's name.
Even Liu Baoshun and his brothers agreed to change the country name.
It was Liu Zhang who insisted on using the national name "Wei".
It just seems that "Wei" is really not going well.
Even a mere Xiao Yi was unable to take it down.
Not only did he lose his troops and generals, but Yan Yunge also took advantage of the loophole and succeeded in his treacherous plan.
It's really...
To be continued...
