Chapter 123: King of Jiaodong
Li Yishan also agreed with Xu Xiao's point of view and nodded, "I think it's okay."
Xu Xiao stood up, walked to the door, turned around and looked at Li Yishan, smiled and said: "Yuanying, actually, you can go out for a walk. Now there is nothing to worry about. At least in our Beiliang."
"Get ready, maybe we can go to Tai'an City."
"No, I'll be more at ease here." Li Yishan waved his hand and said, "Prince, don't force me. Even if you or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince becomes the emperor, I will not go to Tai'an City."
"It's still better here!"
Xu Xiao heard this and waved his hands hurriedly, saying, "Nascent Soul. You may have misunderstood. Why would I go to Tai'an City? I will always be here."
Li Yishan shook his head: "Your Majesty, it will be different then."
"Different."
"Some things can't be judged by appearance alone."
Xu Xiao stared at Li Yishan, then walked back and sat next to Li Yishan, saying with a smile: "Yuanying, you may have forgotten that we are partners. I promised you that back then."
"If I, Xu Xiao, were to take that position, wouldn't that be ungrateful? I'd become a villain!"
"Yuan Ying, you won't let me do that, right?"
Li Yishan smiled.
It's just that he seemed a little hesitant at this time.
When Xu Xiao got up and left the seventh floor, it was already night and his stomach was growling with hunger.
Went to the dining room and had something to eat.
Then deploy Beiliang’s next defense against Beimang.
A million-strong army from Northern Mang will be approaching soon.
---------------
Tai'an City, outside the city.
At this moment, in the central army tent, Xu Ping'an was sitting high on a seat, holding a document in his hand. It was a handwritten letter from Li Jing that came from southern Xinjiang.
After reading the contents, Xu Ping'an paced back and forth in the tent, turned to look at Dian Wei, and asked: "Dian Wei, where is Zifang?"
Dian Wei said respectfully, "We have already reached the Huainan area and will soon reach Tai'an City, probably tomorrow."
Xu Pingan was delighted and said, "You go and greet him in person."
Dian Wei immediately responded: "I obey your command."
When Dian Wei left the camp, someone had already prepared a horse for him. He jumped on the horse and rode away.
the next day.
Zhang Liang and Dian Wei entered the central military camp together and paid a visit to Xu Ping'an.
Xu Pingan was also delighted to see Zhang Liang. He immediately stood up, walked to Zhang Liang, and pulled Zhang Liang, "Zifang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"The situation is a bit strange now, let's fight!"
"Otherwise, if we miss the chance to fight, these princes will still fight to the death."
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and asked, "Do we really want to fight?"
"Or does Your Highness want to fight?"
"If so, I can provide a military strategy for Your Highness to take a look at first."
Xu Ping'an nodded and said, "That's great!"
Zhang Liang produced a military strategy overnight and handed it to Xu Ping'an, who quickly read it with a look of shock on his face. "This, this, Zifang, you mean that these people will still resist and coerce the people?"
Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Based on the current information, this is the case."
"This information is based on facts and is not groundless. The people in southern Xinjiang have been controlled by Zhao Yi and show no signs of heading north."
"If we send out troops at this time, I'm afraid we will encounter a frenzied resistance. By then, we will be in trouble."
“That’s the key point.”
"Of course, if Your Highness really wants to fight, I have a way. How about trying it out in Jiaodong?"
Xu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Zifang means to attack Zhao Sui, the King of Jiaodong?"
Zhang Liang nodded: "Just beat him."
Xu Ping'an asked suspiciously, "This Zhao Sui has not expressed anything to us. If we attack him rashly, we will suffer a great loss, and even let the people fight to the death."
"This is not worth it!"
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "What if the Jiaodong King of the Liao Dynasty is colluding with the Northern Mang?"
Xu Pingan was surprised, "That's impossible!"
"I just got the intelligence from the Liao Kingdom. I was going to send it to you as quickly as possible, but when we met General Dian Wei, we quickened our pace and told you about this matter in person," said Zhang Liang.
Xu Ping'an pulled Zhang Liang to sit down, "Tell me in detail."
Zhang Liang said: "I guess there is a problem or disagreement within the Liao Jiaodong King. Some people want to join Your Highness, and some want to take over the power of Beimang and divide Jiaodong. Zhao Sui is still the king of Jiaodong, or the local emperor."
"But Zhao Sui was wavering. After all, they were all his own assets, and he was also a vassal king who had been dealing with Beimang for many years. He had some iron-blooded tactics, but he failed to suppress them this time."
"We can use this as an excuse to severely punish the princes."
Xu Ping'an pondered: "Does Zifang have a specific battle strategy?"
Zhang Liang chuckled and said, "No need, let General Xiang Yu do what he wants. He is an expert in fighting."
Xu Ping'an also nodded.
He also believed in Xiang Yu's military ability.
In this regard, he is not inferior to others and is still a match for thousands of people.
The purpose of sending him to Liaodong this time was to intimidate the Northern Mang.
Xu Ping'an immediately issued an order, and the military order was quickly transmitted to the two Liao states.
The person who ruled the two Liao states was Xiang Yu.
Leading an army of 300,000.
At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the tent, feeling very anxious.
He couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, if you don't send troops now, you will lose the best opportunity in the future. You can't waste the opportunity."
"It's really annoying."
"Report!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the house.
Xiang Yu listened and immediately let the man into the tent.
The scout reported: "General Xiang, His Highness has ordered an immediate attack on the King of Jiaodong."
Simultaneously.
He handed Xiang Yu a document, and after the latter quickly read it, a smile appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
"Give orders to the vanguard, left and right generals to attack Jiaodong and capture the Jiaodong King Zhao Sui and his son Zhao Yi alive."
Xiang Yu issued the order.
The vanguard and the left and right generals received orders to mobilize the troops and march towards the Jiaodong area.
Simultaneously.
He also gave instructions to several generals.
---------------
The palace of Prince of Jiaodong was bustling with activity at the moment. A spy had already reported the news of Xiang Yu's uprising to Prince of Jiaodong Zhao Sui, and his staff and generals were sitting below.
"Everyone, don't you have anything to say?"
"Everyone was so confident a few days ago, but now everyone is silent? Why is that?"
Zhao Sui asked.
He scanned everyone, and wherever his eyes went, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Sui.
One of them said, "Your Majesty, let's go to Beimang."
Another person also echoed: "As long as we cooperate with Beimang, Jiaodong can still establish its own business in the future."
Someone else said coldly: "Your Majesty, if you collude with Beimang now, it would be treason."
