The eagle flaps its wings and flies a thousand miles a day.

Officials from top to bottom in Yunzhou said they had taken more than half a month off, but in fact they were working overtime.

Before New Year's Eve, preparations must be made for the Wanhui Brother's parade and Cuju competition. After the Cuju competition, intensive population census, merit-based rewards and other work must be carried out in preparation for the takeover of the seven grassland tribes.

As the governor of Yunzhou, Gu Nanxi is naturally very busy.

Such a sudden move by Yunzhou will definitely bring about a counterattack from the Tartars in the north. Now we have to see when this counterattack will come!

Fuming Town, the governor's office.

The county magistrates of all seven towns came, even the magistrate of Yuyi Town.

After a few brief greetings, everyone got into today's topic.

Gu Nanxi asked everyone to sit down as they pleased: "Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind. There is no need to be reserved."

The consensus now is that the Tatars will definitely invade the south, but the problem is, no one knows when they will choose to do so and how many troops they will organize.

Wang Buxi said: "The general once burned Chierle, which dealt a heavy blow to them. They will not have a good time this winter, so they will not send out a large-scale army."

"You are wrong!" Yuyi Town Magistrate Guo Xiaoyue said with a heavy face, "I came here this time because I have a piece of news to tell you, sir."

"The left and right wise kings are forcing the emperor to abdicate!"

what? !

Everyone was shocked!

The Left and Right Wise Kings and the current Khan of the Grassland have jointly risen up against the Liao Dynasty since twenty years ago!

They repeatedly defeated the larger enemy with the smaller one, and from the small corner of Liaodong, they destroyed the Liao Dynasty in thirteen years and unified the grassland!

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the God of War Gu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would have probably already marched to the Central Plains and dominated the world.

The army of this fishing and hunting nation is probably at the peak of the cold weapon army of the old era.

Deputy General Gu Hai frowned: "These two wise kings are more barbaric than the current Khan!"

Gu Shisan had fought with Zuo Xian Wang before: "When we fight, we usually focus on the first push, then decline, and finally exhaustion! Usually both sides are fighting for their own strength, and once one side loses its strength, it will collapse. But Zuo Xian Wang is different!"

Everyone listened attentively.

The most glorious time of Zuo Xian Wang was more than ten years ago, when many people present had not yet come to the border.

Gu Shisan: "When we fight against Zuo Xian Wang, we are always defeated, while the enemy can disperse and reunite, go away and come back again. Often, we cannot defeat the enemy even after a whole day of fighting. The cavalry under Zuo Xian Wang can often charge back and forth for more than ten times!"

Hiss!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Being able to lead the cavalry to charge back and forth three or four times in the midst of thousands of troops was already very impressive! However, the enemy was able to charge continuously for more than ten times.

This kind of sharpness and organization is indeed unmatched by any other army in the Great Zhou!

"Zuo Xian Wang is the same as you when you raided the grasslands. He likes to fight to support the enemy."

Gu Nanxi was with Boss Li, Fu Mingyuan and others at the time. Since they only had 3,000 cavalrymen, they burned everything they could not take away.

There was no logistical pressure and the marching speed was extremely fast.

The reason why Zuo Xian Wang was able to lead tens of thousands of cavalrymen to take such measures was, firstly, that he had absolute confidence in his own strength, and secondly, that he had amazing leadership skills!

Yan Tongchu's scalp went numb. He originally thought that the Khan on the grassland was a lion. As long as he defeated the lion, the lion group would scatter and flee.

What I never expected was that there were two young and strong lions behind this lion, watching closely!

“Will they be too busy fighting among themselves to move south?”

Gu Nanxi shook his head: "It is precisely because of the internal conflicts that we need to send troops south! It can not only shift the conflicts, but also invade the Great Zhou, use victory to boost morale, and use countless wealth and women to ease the conflicts!"

Guo Xiaoyue nodded in agreement and said, "The Khan no longer has any adult sons, so the left and right wise kings won't push him too hard."

"According to the news from the caravan, the Tartars are now in a three-way balance of power. The Khan is staying at the royal court with the remaining thirteen tribes."

"The Right Wise King occupied the Liaodong region and pushed westward."

"Zuo Xian Wang has four sons. The fourth son, Wanyan Wushu, does not want to fight with his brothers, so he proposes to go south again and plunder the Great Zhou!"

Gu Nanxi understood. Although she didn’t know much about military affairs, she understood human nature.

To put it bluntly, the 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 leadership, but were afraid that Gu Nanxi would take advantage of the situation, so they would at most threaten him but would not really fight.

The Khan's adult son was also burned to death by Gu Nanxi. If he wanted his own son to inherit the throne, 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're treating us like soft persimmons!" Gu Nanxi was speechless.

Is this the legendary hitting beans?

When I'm sleepy, I beat Doudou. When I'm happy, I beat Doudou. Anyway, Doudou will get beaten!

Wang Buxi and Guo Xiaoyue looked at each other and said, "My Lord, what should we do?"

This time, the Tartars are coming with great force. Will Yunzhou defend itself to the death?

If we let them go south, and Yunzhou cuts them off, we can fight them with our own strength, which will not only inflict heavy damage on the Tartars, but also make the Zhou army suffer a loss. We might even be able to take advantage of the situation...

Throughout history, it’s not like no one has ever done this.

Didn't the previous dynasty's founder invite the nomadic tribes to come south to help? It was just that the other side's demands became higher and higher, which made the previous dynasty determined to destroy them!

Gu Nanxi thought Wang Bushi was asking how to defend, so he frowned and began to think.

Deputy General Gu Hai hesitated to speak, and in the end, he said nothing.

Yan Tongchu felt uneasy.

He had seen how the Tartars wreaked havoc on the land of the Great Zhou. If they were allowed to move south, the people of the Central Plains and the princes and nobles who had never seen their brutality would surely suffer greatly!

But if this can help the general achieve his great cause...ah, it's really a dilemma.

The atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion was very solemn, and everyone was looking at Gu Nanxi.

Just at this moment, Wen Yu walked in with bloodshot eyes: "Sir!"

Gu Nanxi looked up and saw Wen Yu kneeling down with a plop, choking with sobs, "The emperor has conferred a title of nobility on you!"

"Congratulations, sir!"

"From now on, I will call you Marquis!"

"Your Excellency must have a good meal today, how about a roasted whole lamb?"

"Eat the rich!"

Wang Buxi and others congratulated with a smile, but Wen Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, had no smile on his face and tears were welling up in his eyes.

Everyone's smiles slowly faded.

"What's wrong? Who made you feel wronged?" Gu Nanxi asked gently.

Wen Yu bit her lips tightly until she tasted a hint of blood, then she cried, "I'm not wronged, I feel wronged for you!"

Lu Mei walked in with the post officer with a gloomy face.

The postman knelt down and said quickly, "The emperor has conferred upon you the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. The eldest son Su Xuanming has been demoted to inherit the title of Marquis of Yongchang and is conferred the title of Earl of Yongchang. The second son Su Yunting has been conferred the title of the heir apparent of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. The team that is delivering the decree has arrived in Shuozhou."

Bang!

Deputy General Gu Hai kicked over the table, his eyes bloodshot: "Shameless boy!"
