The hall was silent for a while. Sun Ying from the final case office brought the bandage, Tai Ling took it, and said to Bi Shao, "King Liang, just wrap it up."
"Come on by yourself." Bi Shao replied, taking the bandage with his bloody hands.
Tai Ling sighed and said, "As you said, Jiang Taishi and General Nie are here to help you get out of the predicament."
"The predicament was caused by them." Another voice was cold.
Jiang Heng glanced at him and recognized the literate minister who was the next year. When he lived in the East Palace, the famous literate minister was an official in the court. His name was Zhu Lingjie. Right phase.
At this time, the decrees explained the people of the court: "If Jiang Heng hadn't helped Yong State to reform and attacked the jade bi, then Da Zheng would not have suffered such a great defeat. Today, the juice is out, and the cruel government is cruel and no one." He's the culprit!"
"Speak!" Tai Ling was obviously really angry, "The past is a foregone conclusion! The Right Prime Minister! Are you determined to settle the old accounts? If you continue to count, how can you make up for it?"
"It's not that you want to settle old accounts," Zhu Lingxie said coldly, "Teach me how to trust the two people in front of you?"
"Everyone is their own master." Jiang Heng replied, "I don't understand it, it's hard to understand? Right Minister, if you are a minister of the emperor, you will be paid by the emperor, but you will help him. Do you think you can believe that Zheng Ren is going to deal with Yong Ren? Are you not afraid to turn around and sell you all?"
Zhu Lingjie was at a loss for words, and Jiang Heng said again: "It is precisely because when I joined Zheng, I was absolutely loyal to the Kingdom of Zheng; when I arrived in the Kingdom of Yong, there was no reason to think about it for the Kingdom of Yong. Zheng is here again, I think everyone can believe it."
Tai Ling said: "Yes, Mr. Jiang's righteous deeds to assassinate Juicong for us in the past are always obvious to all. Although the last day is not as good as expected, at least I believe in Mr. Jiang."
"In the morning and evening," Zhu Lingjie said again, "Forgive me for not trusting them, you are the lackeys of the Yong Kingdom!"
"Did you admit that you were wrong?" Zuo Xiangbian came out to make a round of it and said, "Juicong is like a tiger and a wolf, the two of you have become the claws of a tiger and wolf, and when you go out to fight, you are naked|naked. aggression!"
Jiang Heng could only laugh, but Geng Shu's voice was calm and his throwing was loud.
"Are you admitting you're wrong?" Geng Shu instead said, "You Zheng people can't hold Tianzhang hostage, massacre Luoyang people, and force Tianzhuang and General Zhao to death! The original account, I was trying to find you to settle the account. Calculate it!"
All of a sudden, everyone shouted again, Tai Ling cleared his throat, and the situation in front of him had become uncontrollable. He had considered the worst situation, but still despised the power of hatred.
"Are you mistaken?" Geng Shu's voice suppressed the scolding and abuse again, and shouted at Tai Lingling, "You start the war lightly and attack Luoyan!"
"Sit and watch Juicong," Zhu Lingjie roared, "he won't come out?! Juicong is a son of a bitch!"
In an instant, the crowd in the imperial court was turbulent, Jiang Heng was about to say something, but Liang Wang Bi Shao had wrapped his wound, and the voice came again softly.
"Admit your mistake," Bi Shao said earnestly, "the change in Luoyang at the beginning was your fault."
Old Chunling was still in tears, and when he heard King Liang's words, he panicked for a moment: "Wang Wan can't say that! What's wrong? You were only five years old back then!"
Jiang Heng looked at Bi Shao again, and the hall fell silent, only to hear Bi Shao again: "Forcing the sky to death and capturing Luoyang is a big mistake. It is also the fault of the Five Kingdoms, and the same is true for Juyong."
This is the first time Jiang Heng heard that after the Luoyang Incident, for the first time among the five kingdoms, a monarch came out to face the mistakes of the past and took responsibility.
Jiang Heng nodded and looked at Tai Ling.
Tai Ling smiled relievedly and said, "You also admit your mistake. What you did back then was a mistake."
Sun Ying coughed. When he attacked Luoyang, the old King Zheng was still there. It was also the unanimous decision of the court and the court. He must grab the heaven and never let Ji Xun fall into the hands of Juicong. How capable Tailing is? To go to the inevitable trend of the world
Jiang Heng said: "So..."
When Geng Shu heard the two's statement, he said: "Then, you also admit your mistake, and it is your fault that you are not human. Now, you and your younger brother are here to make up for the mistake you made."
The atmosphere finally calmed down. All the people at the table were full of poetry and books. After regaining their senses, everyone knew that Jiang Heng and Geng Shu could be blamed for the current predicament in the world? Even the massacre in Qin Ming Tianxia, they should not be allowed to bear the blood feud. In the final analysis, it is a tragedy, and everyone can't help but be involved in it.
"Then now," Jiang Heng walked over to Geng Shu and sat down, "At last we can talk about the future."
"Whose future?" said Bichaeu again.
"The future of Liang, the future of Zheng, the future of the Five Kingdoms, and the future of the world." Jiang Heng said.
So Geng Shu stopped talking, and just stared at the sword in his hand in silence.
"You have released a gluttonous gluttonous food that eats everything," Zhu Ling explained. "Now you can see what it will do."
Tai Lingchao Jiang Heng said: "You have ignited a fire. If you don't stop it in time, it will burn up the world. Mr. Jiang, I still believe that the fire can still be put out as long as you try your best. , it's just that they will pay more."
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and said, "Let's follow the old rules first. Let's listen to what Juicong did. I believe it's impossible for King Zheng to not have any news."
Tai Ling said that both the left and the two sides reported the situation. Jiang Heng really adhered to his usual thinking, and he talked eloquently before he came up. They need to understand the news, everything, and Yu Yongguo's Report.
Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles, as it should be.
He only heard Bian Jun coughing twice, and said slowly: "Juicong has now occupied most of the Central Plains, and Luoyang, Anyang, Hanzhong, Jienan, Songxian Qinchuan, and the area are all under his control. Zeng Yu led his army south and began to attack Zhaoshui City..."
It was about the same speed as Jiang Heng imagined, and it was also the grand plan for the southern expedition that he discussed when he was still falling.
Next, the Yangtze River will block Juicong's footsteps. Jiangzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Juicong is short of water and will not gnaw on hard bones. The best way is to follow the city of Shushui and take it. East, Xunbei, Xunyang, invade Yue, then go northeast along the Yangtze River, bypass Wei, and enter Zheng State.
When a city is lost, a city and a city are lost. After a hundred years of stalemate in the southern countries, as long as the first one is broken, it will usher in a series of collapses.
Long Yu's army is stationed at Lao, and if the army is dispatched to come back, Ju Ling can easily break through Lao, and Jeju will be more dangerous at that time.
Rather than advancing the war, Jiang Heng was more concerned about the status of the people in the city after it had been incorporated into the Yong Kingdom's territory. Bian Jun's report simply made him feel that things couldn't get any worse.
The Yong Kingdom first moved the capital, but the target was not Luoyang, but Anyang. Luoyan City sent a huge migratory team to enter the Central Plains during the summer, Anyang became the royal palace, and the people of Yong Kingdom also moved into the territory of Liang Kingdom. In any country, the agenda of moving the capital will be protracted and difficult to settle. But for Juicong, it was not easy to move and settle the people with a single order.
As of half a month ago, tens of thousands of Yong people have moved into the Yubi Village. In Anyang, headed by Taiyuan, and based on the guests of the East Palace, they have established the capital of the country and implemented the system of , which was also planned by Jiang Heng in Luoyan City.
There is only one difference. Juicong divides the people under his rule into different classes. The first class is Yong people; They are "foreign citizens"; those who are left in Songxian, Luoyang, etc. are called "Central Plains"; those who are prisoners of war after years of wars include Zheng, Ying, Liang people, and a small number of generations. Humans are "untouchables".
"Fairy Wood"
"It's pretty good." Jiang Heng said coldly.
Everyone heard that Jiang Heng was mocking, but no one answered.
"There are nobles such as ministers and scholars in the first-class people," Bian Jun said slowly, "most of them are officials. The second-class people practice more martial arts, and they are at their mercy. Untouchables are not allowed to engage in agriculture or business. , To work, you can only do hard labor or be a soldier. Naturally, the treatment of these soldiers cannot be compared with that of the Yongzheng army."
People like Bian Jun don't really care about Ju Cong's system of people. Juicy Cong's court is proceeding step by step to further digest the territory.
Under the efficient operation of the Yong Kingdom, the army was replenished and the logistical supply was sufficient, and the breakthrough of the Zheng Kingdom was just around the corner.
"Right now," said Bian Jun, "Ji Cong's army has been expanded again. After the Central Plains refugees and prisoners of war are included, there are already 260,000, 200,000, and they will increase further after they set up Zhaoshui. ."
Jiang Heng silently calculated in his heart how many troops he could raise with the soil in the Central Plains and the efficiency of Yong Kingdom.
Bian Jun said: "According to our speculation..."
"Five thousand." Jiang Heng had already answered a question in advance, "After the Songxian grain depot is requisitioned, the army will be reduced to the maximum extent possible, the civilians will be recruited to go to the battlefield, and the juice will be given to Cong for a month. He can summon 50,000 people to fight for him. Among them, 10,000 are the main force, that is, the backbone of Fengrong and Yong, plus 50,000 people."
"The remaining 50,000 people are soldiers," Jiang Heng explained to the crowd. "As long as they are fed, they can be sent to the front line. As for how many people will die in the end, for Juicong, there is no unimportant."
Everyone present was silent. An army of 50,000 people, even if it united Dai, Zheng, and Ying, could only assemble less than 20,000, less than half of the number.
"How many troops does Zheng have?" Geng Shu asked in the silence.
"Ten thousand," Tai Ling said, "ten thousand people must be stationed in Wei."
The orders explained: "Ju Cong's army was recruited in a hurry, and they were too weak to go to the battlefield..."
"Zheng Jun's combat power isn't going anywhere," Geng Shu sneered without showing his face, "Half a catty and eight taels."
Zhu Lingjie was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Tai Ling's eyes, and Geng Shu just said something.
Bi Shao said: "There are 8,000 Imperial Forest troops, but they can be handed over to General Nie. They will be the last warriors to follow. Please also ask General Nie to treat them kindly."
Geng Shu: "You said you want to fight?"
Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it, Mrs. Chao said, "Let's send a letter to Xiong Lei. Although the two of them planned to kill them, they didn't know how to..."
"King Ying passed away," Tai Ling said, "Ying Tai is gone, don't you know?"
"What?!" Jiang Heng was shocked. He hadn't heard many newspapers along the way. After all, most of the time he was in the country of Zheng.
"How did you die?" Geng Shu was also stunned, "Both my father died?"
Tai Ling said: "He died violently overnight, and the cause of death is not known. Mi Qing was the princess to assist the government, and now the Mi family has the power. ."
Tai Ling didn't know much about the drastic changes in Jiangzhou. After all, almost no one was present at the time of the accident, so he could only roughly explain that King Xiaying and Tai Ling should have been poisoned at the same time according to the report.
In addition, the Wanying army was completely wiped out in Anyang, and now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Jiangzhou, and the southern city of Ying is like an empty city.
"If Daiguo comes out," Tai Ling said, "it can help the country with thousands of soldiers and horses, but it is said that Juicy is about to marry Ji Shuang, so it seems..."
It was still Jiang Heng's strategy at the beginning. Now that I think about it, his strategy has been brought into full play by Juicong. Now trying to solve it is tantamount to fighting each other, and it is impossible to win at all.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is so eloquent that the picture is shockingly dark. Juicong established the country with "water virtue", and the water is black, and now most of the Central Plains are under the control of Juicong.
The picture was displayed in the hall, and Tai Ling made a gesture, indicating that if there is any way to do it, please let it go.
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment, and then looked at Geng Shu like a solicitation. By this time, Geng Shu also became serious and no longer waited for Jiang Heng to analyze everything. After all, military strategy was his forte.
When a letter came from outside, Sun Ying got up and retire first.
Geng Shu looked at the map of the Central Plains for a while, and then said: "In order to force the cessation of Juicong, we must defend Zhaoshui City with additional troops."
Once Zhaoshui was lost, Yong's army would take this as a stronghold and turn to the southeast, attacking the city of Xunshui and entering Yueh, but there were not many garrisoned troops in the area of Xunshui.
Jiang Heng said: "Let Jiangzhou cooperate in dispatching troops to help Zhaoshui on both sides, and we must defend it, otherwise once Zhaoshui falls, the capital of Ying will also be in danger..."
At this moment, Sun Ying walked in quickly again.
"Bad news," said Sun Ying, "Zhaoshui was breached, and the Juicong flooded the whole city, drowning 70,000 people. The 10,000-strong Ying army who was stationed was more than half damaged and fled back to Jiangzhou."
When Geng Shu heard , he threw the wooden chess on the map, and the whole hall was silent.
"You don't have to fight anymore," Geng Shu said, "Either surrender or flee, choose your own path."
Jiang Heng chased him out, Tai Ling pressed his eyebrows with one hand and sighed.
