Chapter five hundred and seventy-three: Royal driving and personal expedition
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Chen Kaizhi was also stunned. He then looked at Liu Xian and said anxiously: "Get the map."
There was a map hidden in the study. Liu Xian did not dare to neglect at all. He took the map and Chen Kaizhi spread it out, and then his eyes were patrolling the map.
Yanmen Pass, the north is Datong, and to the south is Jincheng of Dachen or even Mengjin, which means that the Hu people entered the pass.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people have begun to build the Great Wall, separating the desert from the inner wall.
The purpose of this is to protect the towns in the pass. After all, the Hu people are good at bows and horses, and the most important thing is that they are poor. When they become poor, they will lose their lives. Just like hungry wolves, they will almost starve to death. Who cares whether you are in danger?
There are countless passes above this Great Wall, and these passes are barriers that block the Hu people's going south.
But what if a barrier is broken?
This means that the land within the pass has become a hunting ground, and the Hu people have no barriers to block the walls. They can rush in and gallop on fast horses, and attack wherever they want. The Youzhou and Bingzhou areas of geese are all their targets, and the Dachen City Pass north of the Yellow River may also become the Hu people's on-the-board meal.
It was a terrible thing for the Hu people to enter the pass. The Five Barbarians invaded China, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were all masterpieces of the Hu people when they entered the pass. After that, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Khitans obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, which also caused the Han people to lose the barrier of the Great Wall. Because of this, the Song Dynasty after that, there was almost no danger to defend. As long as the Khitans were willing, they could let their horses go south at any time. The prosperous towns could be turned into ashes, and countless villages were razed to the ground.
They burned, killed, plundered, and did almost everything they could do.
Now that Yanmen Pass is lost, it is no longer a problem for the Great Yan. Even if Chen Kaizhi believes that the Yan army is not a vegetarian, they will definitely mobilize all forces and mobilize them to fight to the death with the Hu people. Most of the Yan people are brave, and the emperor of Yan is never weak. However, the place for the decisive battle is inside the pass, which is completely different from the previous decisive battle outside the pass. The former means that no matter whether the Yan people saved the country, a large number of soldiers and civilians will be killed. The Hu people make a living by plundering, and there is no concept of supplies, food and grass. Where do their supplies come from?
They were a group of crazy hungry wolves who fell into the Miankura at this time and robbed them was almost common.
This means that a catastrophe has begun, and the affected people may be 100,000, or 200,000, or even far more than a few, but a million corpses and blood flowing.
Chen Kaizhi's mind was already buzzing.
He did not like the Yan people, and he had no friendship with the monarch and ministers of Yan State.
But he could not imagine that a catastrophe would happen in front of him. Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath and then looked around, feeling a little confused. If the Hu people entered the pass, how many of them would be harmed? It can be said that it would be a disaster for the creatures.
Although he is not a noble person who cares about the people, he can't help but worry when he thinks that these Hu people will harm the people around him, or even himself.
Seeing Chen Kaizhi's at a loss, Liu Xian couldn't help but worry and frowned.
"After Yanmen Pass, there are some Yan army's city blocks that can be used to stop the Hu people. But I think it won't last long. Yan people will definitely find ways to fight the Hu people there. Young Master, I understand. No wonder a few days ago, the young master talked about what the Hu people sent to envoys. The villain finally understood that breaking Yanmen Pass was just the first step. The only thing the Hu people were worried about was that the Yan army, which was rushing to help from all walks of life, relying on these city blocks and fortresses, could still fight. But if at this time, as long as I, Dachen, use the Yan people to fight against the Yan people, the Yan people will not be able to take care of each other, and then they will definitely be defeated. They... It turns out that they are making this plan. This time they are coming in full force, and they are rushing to destroy Yan."
Chen Kaizhi sighed and sneered: "Is it just destroying Yan? His lips and teeth are cold. Once he destroys Yan, I, Chen, have no danger to defend. Why do you think he can stay calm?"
"Even if we put aside these thoughts of interests that are lost and cold, if the Hu people really could defeat the Yan army, then how many people would die in this Hebei area be one million? Or two million, or thousands of miles away?"
Liu Xian's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He obviously understood what Chen Kaizhi meant. There was a terrible scene in his mind. Although he had not experienced any wars, he had also seen many inhuman records from countless historical books.
Such a scene made me terrified.
Liu Xian smiled bitterly and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."
Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes, looked at Liu Xian and asked, "What a pity?"
Liu Xian shook his head: "Now that Yanmen Pass is broken, the court will definitely make up its mind to join forces with the Hu people to destroy Yan."
Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized something, his eyes full of anxiety.
I was still in shock just now and didn't have time to worry about this. Fortunately, it was Liu Xian's reminder.
If the Hu people had not broken Yanmen Pass, the court would have had concerns, but now it is different. The Hu people have entered the pass.
Entering the pass means that the determination to destroy Yan has increased countless times. At this time, Yan State is like a grass house. Just one step can turn it into ruins.
Otherwise, Da Chen was still hesitating. Once Yan was destroyed alone, this means that Da Chen lost the initiative and the Hu people occupied the pass, so Da Chen had no danger to defend in the future.
However, Prince Nabatu proposed that all the inner and outer passes will return to Dachen, while all the Yan land outside the pass will return to Donghu.
This...is definitely a condition that is tempting enough for Da Chen.
What choice will the court make at this time?
Everyone knows that brothers are united and resisting insults, but it is too difficult to do it. Now that Da Chen is safe, why should he let the army drive to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass and bear such a huge sacrifice with the Yan people and fight with the Hu people? After all, forming an alliance with the Hu people will gain huge benefits, while forming an alliance with the Yan people will require the blood of countless military and civilians of Da Chen.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head, his eyes as clear as water narrowed slightly, his face showed a sad look, and he was silent as if he was thinking about something. Liu Xian became more and more worried when he saw Chen Kaizhi like this. This Hu man really made people feel headache. Seeing that Chen Kaizhi was silent, Liu Xian couldn't help but look at his expression. Seeing that Chen Kaizhi seemed to be in deep thought, he couldn't help but call him carefully.
"Young Master..."
Chen Kaizhi came to his senses, looked up at Liu Xian, and quickly said, "I have to go down the mountain to find out the movements of the court."
Just then, a disciple went up the mountain and called out, "Young Master, there is an invitation. Your Highness, King Zhao, hold a banquet to entertain Prince Donghu Batu, and invite the young master to go to the banquet."
Chen Kaizhi's brows turned cold, and the corners of his mouth were gently raised, which made a faint smile, full of mockery, and even disgust.
At this time, he knew that there was no need to inquire about the movements of the court, because from the attitude of King Zhao, one could see a little bit. As soon as the news came, King Zhao immediately held a banquet to entertain Prince Batu. He made such a big fanfare and did not avoid rumors at all. Isn’t this meaning obvious enough?
King Zhao has always liked to pretend that he was a wise king. He has always been cautious when interacting with the Hu people. But now he has made great contributions and only one thing, the difficulty is that there are a considerable number of people and ministers in the court and have reached some consensus.
Of course, Chen Kaizhi may not be qualified to attend the King of Zhao’s banquet. The reason why he invited him to the house was probably because Prince Nabatu, who wanted to take this opportunity to be proud in front of him.
Chen Kaizhi smiled coldly at the invitation, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with disdain: "It's good, keep the invitation, I will go then."
Instead, he stopped going down the mountain, but he was thinking. Da Chen, no one would be willing to shed blood for the Yan people, and the huge benefits given by the Hu people were enough to make people moved. This was the key to the problem. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but just smiled bitterly, as if this vast trend was not something he could stop.
only……
Will what happened in the previous life be reproduced?
……………………
In Yanjing, the imperial guards have begun to prepare to go to the front line of Yanmen Pass. Countless soldiers and civilians of the Great Yan are a little tragic. Although they are also Han people, they have been in the north for a long time, but they do not have the elegance and euphemism of the south. Most of their lives are filled with a hint of tragic and desolation.
Of course, there is also pride.
The vast army, winding like a snake, stretched to the horizon.
Yan Chengwu, the emperor of the Great Yan, was already wearing military uniforms, covered in golden armor, and walked back with the guards. The wind here was still cold, making his cheeks slightly red. The invasion of the Hu people completely disrupted all his plans.
At this time, he was much more steady and began to get angry very rarely. When he heard the bad news, he found that he was surprisingly calm, as if everything was expected.
Actually, it was not expected. Since he knew that Fang Wu had escaped, he knew that it would be a matter of time before the Hu people invaded. What was hateful was that he was deceived around. He didn't know that he was so angry that he was itchy in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.
At that time, he decided to go to war, because if there was no decisive battle, there would be no dangerous pass in the entire Dayan. If he wanted to protect the country, the only way was to fight to the decisive battle.
The wind is slapped, but there are no fallen leaves. Some are countless people next to the road, and a large number of civilians are being requisitioned. This means that all those who stay are old and weak. The "old and weak" stand by the road, and no one shouts long live, they watch, because in this winding team, there will always be their own relatives among them, but in these countless faces, there are more confusion about the future.
Will Dayan... still exist?
Tomorrow, how many people can see the rising sun.
