The end of the military era

Even his own inner palace is firmly controlled by Zhao Rongguang's daughter, the new queen Zhao Xiuyao.

"Your Majesty, now the Zhou family controls Fengwu Town and Zhenwei Town, and also controls the three provinces of the Bajin Empire, and their strength has surpassed all the feudal towns.

If this continues, the minister is worried that the strength of the Zhou family will become stronger and stronger, which will affect the imperial court's plan to solve the problem of the feudal town. "

Emperor Ouyang Hui sneered, "Could it be that Governor Zhao is planning to send troops to attack the Zhou family?"

"Your Majesty was joking. With the current strength of the imperial court, it is impossible to compete with the Zhou family. I am planning to start the plan to annex Pushan Town."

Pushan Town is located in the east of Tiansheng City and belongs to one of the six northeast towns of the Han and Tang Empires.

Emperor Ouyang Hui couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, "A plan to annex Pushan Town?

what's the plan?Why didn't I know about this plan? "

"Your Majesty, this is a plan arranged by the minister using the power of the embroidery table.

Now Xiuyitai has bought many generals from various forces in Pushan Town. As long as they cooperate properly, the current 12 infantry divisions of the Imperial Army are enough to take down most of Pushan Town, or even the entire Pushan Town. "

The emperor Ouyang Hui cursed secretly in his heart, he really used me as an emperor as a display.

Such a big matter, the emperor himself only knows now.

"If Chief Superintendent Zhao thinks the time is right, he can decide for himself!

I'm really tired today, does Governor Zhao have anything else to do? "

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. I will take my leave first."

Zhao Rongguang left this palace, but did not leave the palace right away, but came to another palace where the new empress Zhao Xiuyao lived.

"Father, how come you have time to come here today?"

"As far as I know, the emperor is not living with you yet?"

The new empress Zhao Xiuyao, also known as Zhao Yan, shrugged and said, "The emperor can't come here by himself, so my daughter can't send someone to force him here!"

Zhao Rongguang frowned, "You still have to think of a way, only if you give birth to a prince, can you implement some plans for your father and make my grandson the prince."

Zhao Yan said helplessly: "Father, the emperor must hate me very much. After I entered the palace, I only saw the emperor, and I didn't even say a word."

Chapter 178 The Financial Resources of the Embroidery Table

Just as the eyes of the feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empire were still focused on the fact that the Zhou family disintegrated the coalition forces of the three orc nations, the court of the Han and Tang Empire, which had a very low sense of existence, suddenly moved against Pushan, one of the six towns in the Northeast. hands.

Pushan Town has an area of ​​about 45 square kilometers and a population of about 2000 million. There are 20 cities in its jurisdiction.

The 8 infantry divisions of the Forbidden Army affiliated to the imperial court of the Han and Tang Dynasties were divided into four groups, and with lightning speed, they captured the four cities of Pushan Town in only three days, and incorporated the families of these four cities. 4 Pushan Army.

Afterwards, the Pushan Jiedu Mansion used 6 descendant troops as the main force, and mobilized 10 troops from other families in Pushan Town, and a decisive battle broke out with the imperial court's imperial army.

Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the Forbidden Army, really had some means to make the two infantry divisions of the Pushan Jiedu Mansion's direct line troops turn against each other, causing the Pushan Army to completely collapse in this decisive battle.

The imperial court's forbidden army took advantage of the victory and pursued them all the way. They captured 7 to 8 prisoners alone, and finally even captured Yanshun City, the capital of Pushan Town.

After the battle between the Imperial Army and the Pushan Army, there were only more than [-] Pushan Army left in Pushan Town, and the entire Pushan Town was in danger of being annexed by the imperial court.

Facing the sudden rise of the imperial court, all the feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires were a little uncomfortable.

What is the imperial court doing?

Do you want to solve the problem of the separatist rule of the Han and Tang Empires for many years?

In Shuodong Jiedu Mansion in Puqiao City, the capital of Shuodong Town, Xue Daoquan, Shuodong Jiedu envoy, asked his elder son Xue Tingwu, "Tingwu, what do you think about the affairs of Pushan Town?"

Shuodong Town is the largest feudal town in the Han and Tang Empire, with an area of ​​about 160 million square kilometers, which is almost one-tenth of the entire Han and Tang Empire.

For many years, Shuodong Town has been known as the number one feudal clan in the world by virtue of its large army.

What disturbed the other feudal towns, especially the other five feudal towns in the Six Northeast Towns, was that the army of Shuodong Town was completely controlled by Shuodong Jiedushi.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the Shuodong Army's troops were placed in the northern part of its territory to defend against the barbarian empire, the Jiedushi of the other five towns in the six northeast towns might not even be able to sleep well.

The Barbarian Empire is a country established by the nomadic peoples of the grasslands. It has fought with the Han and Tang Empires for hundreds of years. Most of the territory of the Barbarian Empire borders Shuodong Town, and a small part borders Bo Taizhen is connected.

Xue Tingwu pondered for a while and said: "Father, the Pushan Jiedu Mansion is now in the doldrums, if there is no interference from external forces, the entire Pushan Town may soon fall into the hands of the imperial court.

In this way, the power of the imperial court will inevitably increase, which is not good news for all the feudal towns. "

Shuodong Jiedu envoy Xue Daoquan nodded, "The imperial court's governor, Zhao Rongguang, indeed has some tricks. Our Shuodong Jiedu Mansion can't just watch the imperial court swallow Pushan Town in one go."

"Pa" Zhao Rongguang slammed his fist hard on the table in front of him, even cracking the top of the pear blossom wood table.

Zhao Rongguang had been promoted to a master martial artist many years ago, so this punch has such power.

Zhao Shicong, the deputy commander of the embroidery platform, said with a wry smile: "Father, Shuodong Town, Pingyue Town, Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town and Yongwei Town among the six towns in Northeast China have already begun to mobilize troops. It's about to march into Pushan Town."

Zhao Shicong is the eldest son of Zhao Rongguang. Now Zhao Rongguang has handed over most of the affairs of the embroidery table to his eldest son Zhao Shicong.

Zhao Rongguang gritted his teeth and said: "These feudal towns are definitely not putting on a show. They are afraid that the imperial court will annex Pushan Town and will do something to them."

"Father, what should I do now?"

"I can only choose to compromise. With the current strength of the imperial court, let alone deal with five feudal towns all at once, even a random feudal town among them, if it gathers all its strength, it is not something that the imperial court can compete with."

"But this is a bit too aggrieved, we represent the imperial court!"

Zhao Rongguang sneered, "The word imperial court is worthless now.

Only the army and the territory are the guarantee for a stable life.

Let these feudal towns run rampant first, and we will have plenty of opportunities in the future to deal with them slowly! "

In the end, after secret negotiations between the imperial court of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the six towns in the Northeast, the forbidden army controlled by the imperial court gave up Yanshun City, the capital of Pushan Town.

However, the eight cities in the southwest of Pushan Town were taken under the direct management of the imperial court, which is equivalent to seizing half of Pushan Town.

Although Pushan Town was not completely eaten, the capture of 8 cities in Pushan Town also gave the feudal towns a new understanding of the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empires. The strength to annex a feudal town.

In the Jiedu Mansion of the Five Towns in Ganyang City, Zhou Rui gently put the information brought by Hu Yi on the table, "You ghosts, next, you need to strengthen the intelligence work for the imperial court.

With that Zhao Rongguang controlling the power of the court, all the feudal towns around Tiansheng City will have to worry about it. "

Hu Yi said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the imperial court's embroidered clothing platform's method of dealing with Pushan Town is the same as our Ghost Shadow's usual method, which is to bribe middle and high-level officers to deal with the army.

It's just that our Ghost Shadow has never found out the source of the embroidery platform's financial resources.

This time Zhao Rongguang had to give up the annexation of the entire Pushan Town because of the intervention of the other five towns in the six northeast towns, but based on our understanding of Zhao Rongguang, he will never let it go.
