Chapter 868: Within the Four Seas

Not only did he become independent, he also offered an emperor.

There are many passes in Guanzhong, and within it, there are thousands of fertile fields. It is the most important granary of Dachen. They have tens of thousands of troops and have also established a Mengjin prince. This... has obviously become the most difficult problem since Chen Kaizhi ascended the throne.

If the people of the world were allowed to resolve the problem immediately, how would the subjects in the world view Chen Kaizhi, the new emperor?

As the crown prince, he has noble bloodline and can succeed the throne. Now as the emperor, even if he chooses to be kind and unite most of the people, if Chen Kaizhi cannot deal with it immediately in the face of this huge crisis, then more ambitious people will be ready to move.

Now there is a prince of Mengjin, and there are other kings. If you have ambition, you might have become emperor.

In this world, emperors are not so easy to be a puppet. It is easy to be mediocre and ignore everything. But it is also easy to give the subjects all over the world enough to make the subjects all over the world devote themselves to support Chen Kaizhi in promoting reforms, and even in the future, they will use troops everywhere. This requires Chen Kaizhi to give the people all over the world enough confidence.

Faced with this difficult thing, Chen Kaizhi did not seem too sad or too much emotion. He just glanced at everyone and said lightly.

"In this way, if we cannot suppress the rebellion in time, we are afraid that this person's heart will change."

"That's right." Chen Yishou was not optimistic, but said worriedly: "It is said that the new official took office for three fires, and His Majesty has just ascended to the great treasure. As the 95th Lord, in the territory of Dachen, some people dare to support the royal family... Now everyone in the world is watching His Majesty."

Chen Kaizhi nodded gently, which was in agreement with his point of view.

Seeing that Chen Kaizhi did not interrupt him, Chen Yishou asked him to continue talking, he had no worries, and continued, "What's more, in the cabinet... I have also discussed it with Master Su. We agreed that Guanzhong's independence is bad news, and what's even more terrible is that Guanzhong is close to Guanxi, bordering Daliang, and to the south, it is Hanzhong and connected to Shu Kingdom. This is not only the most important granary for my Dachen, but also the place for four battles. At this time, the Yang family is desperate. Once they are anxious, they may even connect with Daliang and Shu Kingdom. Now that I, Dachen, have decided, all countries are afraid of coveting. If Guanzhong surrenders to Daliang or Shu Kingdom, it is difficult to protect... Daliang and Shu Kingdom will not take this opportunity to involve it. At that time, it will not only suppress the rebellion, but may even trigger national wars."

Chen Yishou narrowed his eyes and analyzed it carefully for Chen Kaizhi: "Da Chen is a place of four battles, connecting Da Yan in the north, Chu in the south, and Vietnam in the south. Once the army is unfavorable, the army will have to spend it in Guanzhong. Then, if the countries are driven by interests and attack them, if they are surrounded by enemies, the worst result will be."

As he said that, his eyes were filled with worry and his brows frowned.

"So, in dealing with the Yang family in Guanzhong, we not only need to win, but also urgently need to win quickly. The longer the war is delayed, the most terrible result."

"The last time the Ministry of War said that it would recruit 200,000 troops and 300,000 civilians to pacify Guanzhong. But in the eyes of the old minister, it was afraid that it was not enough. To win, it also needed to win quickly. If you want to advance, you must have Hangu Pass. This Hangu Pass is a natural danger. Even if you use artillery, you are afraid that it is difficult to attack. If you don't have enough troops, it is difficult to shake it in a while. I am afraid that the court will recruit 300,000 people, and use the Warriors' Battalion as the vanguard. In order to ensure the needs of the army, it will also require 500,000 civilians..."

Chen Kaizhi frowned. Isn’t it going to take 800,000 soldiers?

What's more, once such a large-scale battle, how much preparation time is required?

How do you need to work together during the various troops?

Hundreds of thousands of people have just made up the major policy of resting with the people, but now they are so busy, and the manpower and material resources they call are all astronomical.

This is not suitable for mobilizing so many people.

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, then slowly said to everyone, "Warrior camp, maybe enough."

Chen Yishou shook his head quickly.

"The Warriors Camp is of no courage, but the number of people is too small. Moreover, the walls of Hangu Pass are more than ten feet thick, and even artillery is difficult to shake. There are countless crossbows arranged on the city. Your Majesty, this is the world's most powerful pass, which is extraordinary. This battle must be won. If there is an obstacle to the advance, or even a little setback, it may cause turmoil in the world. After all, Your Majesty is the first to ascend to the great treasure, so it is better to be careful."

Chen Kaizhi agreed with Chen Yishou's words, not because he had no confidence in him, but because this place belongs to a fortress.

What does it mean by a city wall that is more than ten feet thick? This is equivalent to thirty meters. With the thirty meters, it is full of bricks and stones. It is like a mountain. With the power of the artillery, it is probably useless to bombard it for ten days and half a month in turn.

Originally, this place was the western gate of Dachen, an indispensable fortress, but unexpectedly, it has become a stumbling block that hindered Chen Kaizhi's rebellion.

The Yang family is still in strength. They have been in Guanzhong for so long. Even if they can break through Hangu Pass, they will be afraid that it will not be enough to regain the various prefectures in Guanzhong.

To put it bluntly, the Warriors' camp is an elite military strategy. Although it is now a scale of six or seven thousand, it is definitely not a public security army. They are like blades. Although they are good steel, they are just used as pioneers and as attacks.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Mr. Yan and asked, "What does Mr. Yan think?"

Mr. Yan raised his eyes lightly, looked at Chen Kaizhi, and then said, "I think Mr. Chen's words are really the words of the country. Your Majesty, this war is of great importance. It is better to be careful. It is better to recruit a large army."

Chen Kaizhi frowned. He had to recruit so many people for a while, and there was not enough time at all, but it seemed that there was only one way. He couldn't help but look very depressed, but he still said unwillingly: "Maybe there is a better way."

Chen Kaizhi hesitated for a long time and then said, "Let me think about it."

He did not think it was necessary to recruit and mobilize such a large army, because such a large-scale military operation was too long. It would take several months to start Latin and convene various troops. However, the real attack would be half a year later.

Half a year later, I am afraid that Daliang may have begun to intervene in Guanzhong. What he faces may not only be the rebels of the Yang family in Guanzhong, but also the tens of thousands of Daliang Iron Cavalry.

Not to mention, if millions of strong power are recruited, it will inevitably lead to a large amount of waste of labor and a huge consumption of national strength. This is not a wise choice at all.

However, not immediately making up his mind to quell the rebellion may also cause doubts from all parties about their abilities.

As the emperor, we must tell the people of the world that they are both their king and father, and they are also an authority that no one can question. If someone dares to rebel, he must pay a heavy price.

"Go and invite Zeng Guangxian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the governor of the Mingjingsi to meet."

Zeng Guangxian has served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, but the assistant minister of Wu has now gained great benefits and has become the governor of the Mingjingsi.

A eunuch responded to his order and left quickly.

Soon after, the two of them had arrived. Wu Chenshi, the current Governor Wu, came as fast as he was. He panted and fell to the ground, shouting long live, Chen Kaizhi frowned: "Stop this arrangement of kneeling three times and kowtow nine times. I ask you, does Mingjingsi report any news about Guanzhong?"

"Yes." Governor Wu said seriously: "I am just about to receive the report. The latest urgent report, the envoy of Daliang has quickly entered Guanzhong and contacted Yang and others. In addition, Yang has withdrew the troops from Dasan Pass and rushed to Hangu Pass."

"So fast." Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly.

Although I knew that Liang Kingdom was very likely to intervene, it was too fast. The only possibility was that Yang had been with Da Liang before the Empress Dowager died.

This may... was another step of the Empress Dowager's "chess" during her lifetime, leaving a way out for the Yang family, otherwise how could she contact us so quickly?

The troops who withdrew from Dasan Pass rushed to Hangu Pass and took a decisive battle with Chen Kaizhi. At the same time, Dasan Pass is the national border between Guanzhong and the two countries. Once withdrawn, it will naturally be a loss to Liang Kingdom, indicating that it is not a threat to Dasan Pass.

Governor Wu narrowed his eyes: "The news I received is that the Yang family seemed to have intentions and temporarily ordered the pseudo-emperor to surrender to Daliang and call himself a son emperor. He used this to borrow troops from Daliang."

Chen Kaizhi sneered.

Children's Emperor.

This situation was like Shi Jingtang, who had been vain to the Liao Kingdom in his previous life, would rather be the son of the Liao people and give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan people, and fight with the Song Dynasty at that time to the end. It was precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty at that time lost the best strategic opportunity to truly unify the pass. The Song Dynasty had been exposed to the iron hooves of the Liao people for hundreds of years.

Chen Yishou said angrily: "Once Ren Daliang takes the opportunity to enter Guanzhong, I, Da Chen, will not only lose the most important granary, but also lose two million people. Will this Luoyang fall within a hundred miles of the enemy country and have no danger to defend. Your Majesty... If the Yang family is not eliminated, Da Chen will be in danger."

Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes and seemed to start thinking.

At this time, Zeng Guangxian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had arrived. Before he could salute, Chen Kaizhi waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to be polite. He continued: "Doesn't there be any intention of the court in Guanzhong? I don't believe that the guards in Guanzhong are all rebels."

Zeng Guangxian was stunned and probably understood something. He looked at Governor Wu, and then Zeng Guangxian said, "Because of the Empress Dowager's relationship, the Jinyiwei has been secretly laying his eyes and ears in Guanzhong. There is one person who can try to contact him."

Chen Kaizhi suddenly became interested: "Who is?"
