Chapter 711: Planning in the Tent
"The civil strife in Northern Xinjiang has temporarily ended. Prince Duanmuyu successfully eliminated his rival, the Sixth Prince, and secured his position as Crown Prince." Mo Lingan stood in the Dazheng Palace to report on the situation in Northern Xinjiang, and by the way, he brought an unusual Good news, "Based on the verbal ridicule from Prince Zhanruo in Dongling two years ago, Northern Xinjiang Prince Duanmuyu proposed to send troops to attack Yu Country, hoping to teach Yu Country an unforgettable lesson, but the old emperor did not agree."
"Attack the Yu Kingdom?" Nan Xi looked at the map, her voice was calm, with a hint of ridicule, "There are many barriers between Northern Xinjiang and the Yu Kingdom, and it is even more difficult to just use the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the thousands of miles away. , enough people and horses, they took the road to bypass Dazhou and Dongling, all the way just to annex a small Yu Kingdom? "
Who would believe it?
If Duanmu Yu really sent out thousands of troops because of a small grudge, it would be too impulsive - not to mention the long distance between Yu Kingdom and Northern Xinjiang, just the big Zhou Dynasty in the middle was enough to dissuade them. This thought.
"Duanmu Yu's real intention is not to release this false news to the Yu Kingdom, but to give a warning to the royal families of various countries." Rong Yu stood beside Nan Xi and looked at the map on the case with her. The current military strength and situation are not enough to send troops to any country.”
But releasing this news in advance can be regarded as a notice. After many years, the troops in Northern Xinjiang will be strong, and Duanmu Yu will successfully ascend the throne. He can easily provoke wars between countries just by using the excuse of teaching Yu Country a lesson.
Nan Xi smiled lightly: "Duanmu Yu was able to quell the civil strife and get rid of the biggest rival to the throne within two years, which shows that this person is quite capable."
"He has the ability, but it's just a matter of how much." Rong Yu said calmly, "He spent two years planning to get rid of the Sixth Prince, and the losses during this period were not small. He himself was also seriously injured, so he needed enough time to recuperate. ”
After a pause, "In addition, the civil strife is only temporarily over. There are still two opponents in his reserve, and there is still good drama to watch next."
"My Lord is right." Mo Lingan nodded, "The Sixth Prince of Northern Xinjiang holds military power. When Duanmuyu left Northern Xinjiang, he quickly attracted some important officials in the court, and his power can almost compete with Duanmuyu's branch. In addition, Jiuxiao After returning from Dongling two years ago, Duanmuyu was really worried about some troubles caused by the court. Fortunately, he had Situ Xuanjue and reliable advisers around him to stabilize the court, and he bought enough time. Proved his innocence."
Therefore, Duanmu Yu's hard work over the past two years and the precarious situation of his reserve position are actually mostly due to Jiuxiao Pavilion. He should thank Jiuxiao Pavilion for giving him experience and the opportunity to seek life in dangerous situations.
As for the next two princes, they will naturally come in handy when the time comes. Let Duanmu Yu take a breath for now.
"Northern Xinjiang is now suffering from serious military and internal losses. Even if Duanmu Yu is really ambitious, he will be unable to do anything for a while." Rong Yu's voice became softer, "Recruit troops, strengthen training, and cultivate cronies in the court. These all require time and effort.”
And this is just the premise that ambition is about to start. When everything is ready, he will find that his idea is still just a whim.
"The fifth prince, Duanmu Han, holds Duanmu Yu's fatal grip." Mo Lingan said, "Let him rest for a year and a half first, and then let them continue playing when Northern Xinjiang recovers a little strength."
Nan Xi looked away from the map and slightly raised her gaze to look at Mo Lingan: "Duanmu Han?"
"Yes." Mo Lingan nodded, "The Lord said that Northern Xinjiang would be in civil strife for ten years. It has only been two years now, and there will still be chaos in the future."
Nan Xi raised her lips slightly: "Not bad."
The prince Duan Muyu has to walk on thin ice, making him feel that he may be pulled down at any time. Since the other princes have ambitions, it is natural that they should compete fairly to see who wins in the end... Well, Rong Yu means to let Duan Muyu He could not become the emperor, so no matter how long the civil strife lasted, Duanmu Yu would only die in the end.
Situ Xuanjue belongs to Duanmu Yu. Once Duanmu Yu dies, Situ Xuanjue will naturally die as well. Without the leader of the Situ family in Northern Xinjiang, the combat effectiveness will only become weaker. In addition, years of civil strife have depleted his spiritual energy. In the past ten years, Northern Xinjiang will The internal delusion of raising troops against any country is fanciful - even the vassal country Yanguo is no longer afraid of this seemingly powerful sick cat.
Nan Xi leaned on the brocade couch and marveled at Rong Yu's ability to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away.
"What's the current situation in South Vietnam?"
"Su Chang is dead." Mo Lingan said, "The current political situation in South Vietnam is not stable. The Su family has a great influence on the imperial power. Although the emperor got rid of Su Chang, South Vietnam is also seriously injured and powerless this time. The regent of Xiqi wanted to marry his daughter to Shu and use a marriage between the two countries to gain support from Shu. However, Yunting and Ye Qingcheng were now in charge of Shu. Ignore the ambition of the Regent of Xiqi."
With that said, he presented several pieces of information to Rong Yu for review.
Rong Yu opened it and looked at it without expression, and said in a calm tone: "So Xiqi and Nanyue can't fight for the time being?"
Mo Lingan lowered his eyebrows and replied: "It's a bit difficult for the time being."
It's not that they are incompetent, but that Xi Qi and South Vietnam are too busy to take care of themselves, and there is really no way to be stupid enough to start a war.
Moreover, Lin Ao's main ambition lies in the throne. The little emperor aspires to take power after taking office, and is quickly wooing the courtiers. Several princes in the clan support the little emperor. Now Lin Ao's one wrong move means that everything will be lost, so he starts a war. It was simply out of the question for him.
"Then let's wait." Rong Yu put the information on the case and said indifferently, "In the next time, we should focus on Northern Xinjiang, South Vietnam and Xiqi. If the young emperor of Xiqi is not Lin Ao's opponent, you can help With his help, this king wants Lin Ao and his Lin family army to be wiped out."
"Yes." Mo Lingan agreed, "I'm resigning."
