Chapter 389: Delivering the Edict
The goshawk flaps its wings and travels a thousand miles with each passing day.
Officials in Yunzhou said they were on vacation for more than half a month, but in fact they were working overtime in various ways.
Before New Year's Eve, preparations must be made for the Wanhui Brother Parade and the Cuju Competition. After the Cuju Competition, intense demographic statistics, merit awards and other work must be carried out to accept the seven grassland tribes.
As the governor of Yunzhou, Gu Nanxi naturally had no time to spare.
Yunzhou's sudden big move will definitely usher in a counterattack by the Tatars from the north. Now we have to wait and see when this counterattack will come!
Fuming Town, Governor's Mansion.
All the county magistrates from the seven towns came, including Yuyi Town.
After a few brief greetings, everyone entered today’s topic.
Gu Nanxi asked everyone to sit down as they pleased: "Everyone can speak freely without any hesitation."
The current consensus is that the Tatars will definitely invade the south. The problem is that we don’t know when they will choose and how much force they will organize.
Wang Buxi: "The general once burned Chi'erla, which dealt a heavy blow to them. Their life will not be easy this winter, so they should not send out large-scale troops."
" You are wrong!" Guo Xiaoyue, the county magistrate of Yuyi Town, said with a heavy face, "I am here to tell you a piece of news."
"The wise kings have been forced to go to the palace!"< br>
What? !
Everyone was shocked!
The wise kings of the left and right and the current grassland khan, started to fight against the Liao together twenty years ago!
They repeatedly defeated the many with less and defeated the many with less. From a mere corner of Liaodong, they destroyed Liao in thirteen years and unified the grassland!
If it hadn’t been for the emergence of Gu War God in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they might have already invaded the Central Plains and shocked the world.
This army of fishing and hunting people is probably at the peak of an old-era cold weapon army.
Lieutenant General Gu Hai frowned: "The Xianwang of Zuo is more barbaric than the current Khan!"
Gu Shisan once dealt with King Xian of Zuo: "When we fight, we often focus on going all out and then failing. Decline and exhaustion! Usually both sides are fighting for a breath, but once one party fails, it is different!"
Everyone listened attentively.
The most glorious time of King Zuo Xian was more than ten years ago. At that time, many people present had not yet come to the border.
Gu Shisan: "When fighting against King Zuo Xian, my side is still defeated as soon as it is defeated, but the opponent can break up and rejoin, go away and come back again, often unable to defeat the opponent even after a whole day of fierce fighting. . The cavalry under King Zuo Xian can often charge back and forth ten times!"
Hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
To be able to lead the cavalry and charge back and forth three or four times among thousands of troops is already amazing! But the opponent can continue to rush for more than ten times.
This kind of vigor and organization is indeed unmatched by other armies of Zhou Dynasty!
"King Zuo Xian is the same as the Lord when he raided the grassland. He likes to feed war with war."
Gu Nanxi took Boss Li, Fu Mingyuan and others with him at that time. Since they only had three thousand cavalry, they burned all the ones they couldn't take away.
There was no logistical pressure and the march was extremely fast at that time.
King Zuo Xian was able to command tens of thousands of cavalry to take such measures. First, he had absolute confidence in his own strength, and second, his leadership ability was amazing!
Yan Tongchu's scalp felt numb for a while. He originally thought that the Khan on the grassland was a male lion. As long as he was defeated, the lions would scatter in all directions.
I never expected that there were two young and strong male lions watching behind this male lion!
"Are they too busy fighting among themselves to go south?"
Gu Nanxi shook her head: "It is precisely because of internal conflicts that they need to send troops south! They can not only pass on the conflicts, but also invade the Great Zhou Dynasty. Use victory to boost morale, and use countless wealth and women to ease conflicts."
Guo Xiaoyue nodded in agreement: "The Khan has no adult son now, so the wise kings on the left and right will not push him too hard."
"According to the caravan news, the Tatars are now a tripartite. The Khan took the remaining ten Three troops stayed in the royal court. "King Youxian occupied the Liaodong area and advanced westward."
"King Zuo Xian has four sons. The fourth son, Wanyan Wushu, does not want to fight with his brothers, so he proposes to go south again and rob the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Gu Nanxi understood, although she She doesn't know much about military affairs, but she understands human nature.
To put it bluntly, Khan was crippled by himself and was completely unable to suppress the two wise kings on his left and right.
The two wise kings wanted to compete for the top spot, but they were also afraid that Gu Nanxi would take advantage of the situation, so they would only use coercion but would not actually fight.
The Khan's adult son was also burned to death by Gu Nanxi. If he wanted his son to inherit the throne of Khan, he had to buy time for his sons who had not yet grown up.
So these three people will eventually choose to go south!
The descendants of these three people also want to go south for various reasons!
“Oh, you are treating us like a weakling!” Gu Nanxi was speechless.
Is this the legendary Doudou?
When you are sleepy, play Doudou. When you are happy, play Doudou. Anyway, Doudou is going to be beaten!
Wang Buxi and Guo Xiaoyue looked at each other: "Sir, what should we do?"
This time, the Tatars are coming fiercely, will Yunzhou defend to the death?
If they are allowed to go south, and Yunzhou is cut off from it, closed and beaten, it will not only cause great harm to the Tatars, but also make the Zhou army suffer a loss, and maybe they can take advantage of it...
Throughout history, it’s not like no one has ever done this.
Didn’t even Taizu of the previous dynasty ask the nomads to send troops south to help? It's just that the other party's demands are getting higher and higher, which makes the former government determined to destroy them!
Gu Nanxi thought Wang Buxi was asking about how to defend, so she frowned and started thinking.
The deputy general Gu Hai hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn’t say a word.
Yan Tongchu felt uneasy.
He has seen how the Tatars wreaked havoc on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once the Tatars are allowed to go south, the people and princes and nobles of the Central Plains who have never seen the brutality of the Tatars will definitely suffer a lot!
But if this can help the general achieve great things... Oh, it's really embarrassing.
The atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was solemn, and everyone looked at Gu Nanxi.
Just at this moment, Wen Yu walked in with scarlet eyes: "Sir!"
Gu Nanxi looked up and saw Wen Yu kneeling down and choked: " Your Majesty has granted you the title of Marquis!”
“Congratulations, Sir!”
“I will call you the Marquis from now on!”
"My lord, I don't want to have a good meal today, how about a roasted whole lamb?"
"It's a big deal!"
Wang Buxi and others congratulated each other with a smile, but then they knelt on the ground. There was no smile on Wen Yu's face, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Everyone’s smiles slowly fell.
"What's going on? Who made you feel wronged?" Gu Nanxi said warmly.
Wen Yu bit his lip until he tasted a trace of blood, and then said with a cry: "I am not wronged, I feel wronged for you!"
Lu Mei had a gloomy face, with a The post officer walked in.
The post officer knelt down with a plop and said quickly: "Your Majesty will confer you the title of Marquis of Zhongyi. The eldest son, Su Xuanming, will demote you to inherit the position of Marquis of Yongchang and be granted the title of Uncle Yongchang. The second son, Su Yunting, will be granted the title of Crown Prince of the Marquis of Zhongyi. The edict-delivery team has arrived in Shuozhou.”
Cang Dang!
The deputy general Gu Hai kicked the table over and his eyes were about to burst: "Shameless kid!"
