Liang Chongxin's words hit Situ Biao's heart like a giant hammer. Situ Biao naturally knew Situ Tai's financial sources and food support, otherwise he would not have easily succeeded in joining forces. If it weren't for the financial resources of the imperial capital, The nobles, Japanese and Nanyang Alliance are behind the push. What else does Situ Tai have besides hundreds of thousands of troops? I'm afraid I'm not even as good as I was back then. I don't know the reason why the Puer people sent troops to Situ Biao, but it can't be escaped from the word inducement. If it's true as the other party said, Milan's army cuts off the channel for transporting grain from the Nanyang Alliance, Jiangnan will fall again. After falling into the hands of Xijiang, and thinking about the 300,000 nomadic cavalry mentioned by the other party, Situ Biao did not dare to think about it anymore. No wonder Li Wufeng dared to let his second army go south to attack the Machikhans without any hesitation. Taking into account the tense situation in the north, it seems that the other party has already secured a chance of victory.
As for the three palaces in my hand, as the other party said, they are nothing at all. So what if I take them, and what if I don't take them? The arrogance revealed in the other party's words did not put the three lands in his hands at all. It seemed that these three lands were just dolls in their hands, and they could be manipulated. A burst of anger sprang up in Situ Biao's heart, and he He wanted to walk away and scold the other person angrily, but he didn't dare. Because he has to admit that what the other party said is the truth. There seems to be no choice in the road before him. Can he have a choice
Seeing Situ Biao's uncertain face, Liang Chongxin took a sip of tea. Although he hoped that the other party could see the situation clearly and express his attitude, he also knew that haste would make waste in this kind of matter. Only when he shows his strength to pin down the opponent firmly and makes the opponent feel that there is no way out will the opponent seriously consider the consequences. Otherwise, he may resist even if there is even a glimmer of hope.
"General Liang, maybe what you said makes sense, but as you said, the situation in Western Xinjiang in the north is not good. If you lose this battle, can you still say such things?" Situ Biao said in his heart In fact, he has been convinced by the other party, but at this time he cannot reveal his true thoughts. He must give the other party a beating to see his reaction.
"Haha, Liang knew that His Highness would be hesitant on this point, so he asked Mr. Hu to accompany Liang. Mr. Hu was originally His Highness's number one adviser. Now Liang is single here and cannot exert pressure on Mr. Hu. Under any pressure, if His Highness and Mr. Hu feel that Liang is lying. Your Highness can still give it a try, you might as well push Liang out and chop him down. Liang has no objections." Liang Chongxin said calmly.
Situ Biao's eyes fell on the face of Hu Tingzhi, who had not interrupted. Hu Tingzhi's face had a complex expression, and finally he sighed, shook his head without saying a word, obviously giving up the right to make suggestions.
Situ Biao's eyes became a little dazed. Maybe his road of hard work had really come to an end. Even Hu Tingzhi was unwilling to recommend him in this situation. Where should I go
"Your Highness. Your Highness the King of Qin is also very sorry for your behavior in Baling. I think your subordinates will also find it incomprehensible. I would also like to remind Your Highness that even if Your Highness intends to bury the Situ family, others may not Yes, your Highness, even if you don't think about it for yourself, you should think about the people who have supported you and paid a lot for you." I saw Situ Biao's whole body shaking and his face turning gray. Liang Chongxin knew that his words hit the opponent's vital point. This was a good opportunity, "Actually, you don't need to be too persistent at all. Just like you just said, everything depends on people and God. You have already worked hard." , but God is not on your side, and you have a clear conscience. If you force many things, it will make people fall into pain and trouble. His Highness King Qin is not willing to see that kind of situation. His Highness Situ Jun and Lord Lang Yongquan still Didn't everyone like Lin Guoxiong have their own glory? They were able to accept reality calmly and did not choose to destroy. Is it possible that His Highness is not as broad-minded as them?"
Silently lowering his head, Situ Biao was speechless for a long time as if he was making his final confession. It was not until Hu Tingzhi and Liang Chongxin felt a little surprised that Situ Biao raised his head and said in an almost exhausted voice: "General Liang, I think I I can choose a suitable path for myself, but before that, I want to listen to your suggestions."
Nodding slowly, Liang Chongxin's face looked pleased and understanding at this time: "No problem, Your Highness, since I, Liang, dare to come to Anqing, I naturally dare to take on everything. As long as the conditions proposed by Your Highness do not violate the principles, Liang can do anything. I’ll go ahead and agree on behalf of His Highness the King of Qin, I think His Highness the King of Qin will be very happy to see this scene.”
The end of the Five Lakes War came even faster than that of Jiangnan. This was expected, but it also seemed to be a bit unexpected. Almost overnight, the imperial troops of Anqing, Wenning, and Jinhua were all put down. Weapons, the Imperial Army headed by the Sixth Army first expressed their welcome to Situ Biao's announcement to step down. At the same time, they also announced the end of the civil war. After accepting the reorganization of the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration, Liang Chongxin went directly to the headquarters of the Sixth Army. After a long talk with Jin Zhiyang, Liang Chongxin immediately announced that the Sixth Army of the Empire would be the headquarters. Based on this, the remnants of other Southern Army units were mixed and reorganized to form the temporary Ninth Army in Western Xinjiang (the formal order needs to be signed by the King of Qin and issued by the Military Affairs Administration). At the same time, it is responsible for guarding the border from Wenning to Jinhua to prevent The Machikhans took the opportunity to cause chaos.
In just two months, from the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain in the west to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in the east, all the people on the great rivers with a radius of thousands of miles have surrendered. The momentum of the rolling water and snow is enough to make anyone look at them, even Wu Feng has never thought of it. Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou were able to pacify the entire south in just two months. Especially Liang Chongxin who single-handedly broke into Anqing, single-handedly persuaded Situ Biao to step down, and promptly stabilized the Sixth Army of the Empire and the South. The remnants of the army used the opponent's strength to stabilize the southern front and win for themselves the most prosperous and prosperous land of the Thirteen Prefectures in the empire. This achievement is unparalleled. Cheng Dayou showed great wisdom in this southern battle. Dayong is also remarkable, especially the tenacity and tenacity shown by his Eighth Army in defending Jiujiang is no less than the elite of Western Xinjiang. The Eighth Army deserves to be ranked proudly among the armies of Western Xinjiang.
Imperial capital. In the mansion of Executive Minister Lu Wenfu, the meeting hall was brightly lit, and the fish candles surrounding it illuminated the entire study, but this could not cover up the gloom and haze in everyone's hearts.
The snow-white girl's eyes looked even colder at this time. Lu Wenfu's face was gloomy with a hint of melancholy. Military Minister Ji Lin just sighed. Finance Minister Tian Yisi had already resigned due to illness, but it has not yet been approved, and he was also dismissed today. When they were invited to Lu Wenfu's house, he seemed to be the only one in the crowd who looked a little calmer. Interior Minister Seton simply closed his eyes and said nothing, apparently not wanting to comment on the news he had received.
"Unexpectedly, Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou actually abandoned Anqing and attacked eastward. This was beyond our expectations. I wonder if His Highness the King of Yan has enough troops deployed in Weiyang Gusu to deal with it?" Some said Asking this question evasively, Jilin, as Minister of Military Affairs, seemed to have forgotten his position as Minister of Military Affairs. This question should be asked by others.
"Hmph, Mr. Jilin, do you still need to ask this question? Almost all of the power of His Highness King Yan is on the Yanyun front line. Not to mention Jiangnan, even the East China Sea and the Yanyun mainland, there are not many who can fight. Troops, Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou haven't seen through Jiangnan's weakness before heading eastward. Now it's time for His Highness King Xiang to give a desperate blow." He almost said these words through gritted teeth. , Sidon, who suddenly opened his eyes, was originally not interested in these military affairs, but the vigorous advancement of Western Xinjiang has made him foresee the fate of himself and everyone he represents when Li Wufeng enters the imperial capital in a big way. Life and death are here. Who can let it go in one fell swoop
"Let His Royal Highness the King of Xiang fight to the death? What to fight for? The sixth legion whose vitality is severely damaged or those miscellaneous fruits that are not worthy of the stage?" Jilin snorted disdainfully, and kept this humble attitude. He seems to have lost confidence in the current situation at hand, and he doesn't even pay much attention to his attitude. Facing his colleagues who were incompatible with him in the past, he doesn't seem to want to hide anything anymore.
"You! That's right. Zamu Guozi can't be on the stage. Then let your 8th and 9th legions go. Let's see how the performance of these so-called legions controlled by the central government of the empire is? It consumes so much money and food. Is it possible? Isn't it just a decoration there?" Sidon laughed angrily and counterattacked in a negative tone.
Jilin was at a loss for words for a moment. In the eyes of everyone, the Eighth and Ninth Legions were simply worthless, a pity to abandon, tasteless to eat, and would not make people feel at ease wherever they were placed. However, it seemed a pity to be disbanded. After all, it was still The army has undergone preliminary training, but it has not experienced battle formation. The ministers are disdainful of the performance of these two legions, but Jilin is also helpless, lacks funds, lacks equipment, lacks experienced officers, lacks everything, how can you expect it to become a fighting lion
"That's enough. I invited you here today not to listen to your eloquence competition. Don't you see it? The current situation is delicate. The balance that determines the fate of the empire is now placed in the middle. Who can add strength to which side? , the balance of victory will be tilted to which side, now it depends on everyone's last effort at this critical moment!" The indifferent girl in the upper position finally spoke, and immediately dropped the temperature in the hall by several degrees.
