lonely king

The war in the Central Plains is becoming more and more fierce.

In the west of Nanming, they fought fiercely with Xi Zhao, with mixed casualties, and no one was able to please.But in the north of Nanming, more than [-] cities were successively captured by Yu Wenyang of Beiyan State. Gongsun Zhi was forced to transfer the imperial guards of Wangcheng to the north, and even took some of them to fight with Xizhao. The army rushed to the north.

Of course there is no need to talk about Beiyan's Yu Wenyang, and Xizhao Yueying's army is also aggressive, which is beyond Gongsunzhi's imagination. The 50 army can't take the remaining 20 troops of Yueying.The west and the north, double-sided attack, Nanming Wang Gongsun Zhi really can't bear it.

"What's going on! The support to the northern border! Didn't the imperial guards be sent to the north? Why did Yu Wenyang take down five cities?!"

Gongsun Zhi was furious, this time the battle came strangely and quickly, Gongsun Zhi on Xizhao’s side suffered from being dumb, the death of the old King Xizhao has not been found out, Yueying’s sending troops to Nanming is still well-founded, but what about Beiyan’s sending troops?

Without even issuing a letter of war, Yu Wenyang directly broke through the northern border defenses, beating Nanming by surprise, and losing cities one after another.

Looking at the battle report, Zhang You didn't have the anger of Gongsun Zhi, but he was full of worry, "The battle in the western region is too fierce. If even an army is pulled out at this time, it may not be able to resist. The army going to the western region cannot continue Touch. On the battlefield in the northern border, Beiyan's Yu Wenyang was unstoppable, and the dispatched 30 imperial guards were attacked before they even arrived. The situation was even more dangerous. My Nanming's advantage in numbers was gone."

At first when Xizhao sent troops to Nanming, Gongsun Zhi didn't take it seriously, Yue Wei put all his national strength into force but only had 30 troops, and Nanming could easily dispatch 50 troops to fight against it. Anyway, the reversal, Gongsun Zhi boasted that Nanming, blessed by a million-strong army, is now precarious, and the army that went to fight against Yu Wenyang was only 30.

Although Yu Wenyang only has an army of 20, how can Bei Yan, the general who protects the country, be underestimated? Compared with those who sent troops earlier, Yu Wenyang has captured nearly [-] cities in Nanming in the past half month. , encroaching on a large area of ​​Nanming's land.

"This king knows what you said! You don't need to repeat the battle report! This king asked you to come for your advice, not empty talk!"

Gongsun Zhi cast a glance at Zhang You, his eyes full of disgust. He felt uncomfortable being attacked from both sides, not to mention Gongsun Zhi, the lord of Nanming, who claims to be the most powerful country in the world, he couldn't bear the gap.

Zhang You didn't care about Gongsun Zhi's reprimand, he looked at the map of the world, frowned, and kept thinking.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the war in the northern border can only be dragged on. It is not appropriate to rush to take back the breached city. Yu Wenyang is dragged by the imperial guards. No matter how powerful Yu Wenyang is, he will not hit Baijijiang. The army has been fighting on land all year round, and they are not good at water warfare, and when they get to the Baiji River, Yu Wenyang can't use his great skills."

The Baiji River is in the territory of Nanming, a big river across Nanming, with a width of a hundred miles. It is really too difficult for Beiyan's landlubbers to cross the river to fight. Zhang You is very accurate in this point.

Zhang You: "At this time, we should focus on the western region, and send more people to fight Xizhao quickly. Beiyan saw that Xizhao was dragging me, and Nanming took the opportunity to make trouble. As long as Xizhao retreats, we will gather troops to focus on the north. Yan, Zhongyan, the king of Beiyan, is too thoughtful and not decisive enough, even if Yu Wenyang has the ability to counter our Southern Ming army, he will be asked by Zhongyan to retreat."

Zhang You pursed his lips. His idea was not wrong, and it was also based on the temperament of Beiyan Guozhongyan and Yu Wenyang. This is already the best strategy at present, and the severe situation in Nanming absolutely cannot allow any mistakes.

"If General Xiao Cao is sent to reinforce the war in the western region at this time, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Zhang You murmured.

Zhang You's painstaking words from the bottom of his heart failed to reach Gongsun Zhi's heart. Gongsun Zhi had been the king of comfort and dominance for seven years, how could he endure being suppressed by Bei Yan, and how could a suspicious king reuse him? of courtiers.

Gongsun Zhi looked at Zhang You coldly, and sneered, "Let the rebels lead troops to reinforce the western region? What do you think! If the rebels of the Cao family treasoned the country, wouldn't they have killed my Nanming! Also," clenched his fists and hung down the desk," You want me to give up the city captured by Yu Wenyang! Give up my land and dignity in Nanming!"

"I want to take back all the cities captured by Yu Wenyang! I will never compromise or procrastinate! Have you been a leisurely civil servant for too long, or have you never got rid of your scholarly spirit? How can you be so weak? backbone!"

"Kings……"

Zhang You frowned tightly. He didn't expect Gongsun Zhi to say such a thing. Zhang You asked himself that since Xizhao sent troops, he had been devoted to state affairs, and he thought long and hard before proposing a plan to Gongsun Zhi. It would be fine if Gongsun Zhi didn't adopt it. It doesn't matter, after all, as a king, he also needs to recruit all his ministers to come up with a perfect strategy, but what Zhang You never expected was that Gongsun Zhi would completely deny his intentions and trample on them.

"Okay, you go out, I don't want to see you now!" Gongsun Zhi said coldly.

Zhang You's hand holding the pen was still marking on the map, and now he fell to the ground suddenly. Looking at the person in front of him who had talked with him about the world with laughter, countless awes arose in his heart, and Zhang You knelt on the ground.

"If the king dislikes the humble minister, the humble minister will naturally stay away from the king's eyes, but what the humble minister said just now is not just talk, but sincerely for the king and Nanming. It is not a coincidence that the war is fierce. Someone must be messing with the situation. , Your Majesty, don't act rashly, you must think twice and act cautiously!"

Zhang You kowtowed heavily. No one understands Nanming's current situation better than him. If Gongsun Zhi still holds his status as a prince and overlord at this time, he will definitely not get good results. Even if Gongsun Zhi dislikes him, he I would also like to do my best to advise Nan Ming.

"Zhang You!" Gongsun Zhi frowned tightly, looking at Zhang You with cold anger, "Get out for me!"

Gongsun Zhi hates others disobeying him, especially Zhang You!Especially at this time!

"Kings……"

Zhang You looked up at the man in front of him, this man is the king of Nanming, he is the king after all!

Zhang You bowed his head and kowtowed, "I will take my leave."

Coming out of Yushu Pavilion, Zhang You's face was pale and very ugly.When he reached the gate of the palace, he suddenly stopped, looked back, and had a panoramic view of the magnificent palace.

The Nanming palace is full of luxury, richness and luxury.It's just that Zhang You suddenly felt very strange. When he first came to the Nanming Palace, Gongsun Zhi was still a sincere king, but now he has become so suspicious and self-proclaimed.What will be the fate of Nanming?

Zhang You's heart was filled with awe and devastation.

……

In the Qiangma Kingdom, Wangshu Pavilion.

Mo Yan handed a letter to Baili Nian. It was a letter sent by the secret envoy of the potential Nanming King City. Naturally, it was Nanming's latest situation. Looking at the letter, Baili Nian's expression did not change at all until he saw the letter. The middle line made Baili Nian raise his eyebrows slightly.

"The king of Nanming had a disagreement with doctor Zhang You, and Zhang You was imprisoned in the Zhang residence."

Baili Nian casually threw the letter on the desk, and Gongsun Zhi and Zhang You finally reached this point.

"Have any of your subordinates been to Zhang You's mansion? Are you sure he was imprisoned?"

Baili Nian looked at Mo Yan, although he also felt that Gongsun Zhi and Zhang You would inevitably have differences, but Zhang You had a clever mind, and Baili Nian was still cautious.

Mo Yan: "My lord, I have already read it. Zhang Youren has been in the mansion all along. Since he had a big fight with Gongsun Zhi, he has not left the mansion again."

Baili Nian nodded, "In this way, the situation in Nanming will no longer change, and I am at ease." The only thing Baili Nian is worried about is Zhang You, Zhang You and Gongsun Zhi are at odds, which is convenient for him.

"Does Zhang You worry the Lord so much?" Mo Yan poured a cup of tea for Baili Nian, and casually said, in Mo Yan's opinion, Zhang You is just one of the many scholars who is quite knowledgeable, and it's nothing special.

Baili Nian didn't think so, he shook his head, "Zhang You and I met in Zhuting, Nanlin. Although he is lively and easy to talk and joke, he is actually delicate and has a clear understanding of the world's situation. If he makes suggestions for Gongsun Zhi, maybe he will be killed. Nanming, who is entangled by snakes, still has a glimmer of life, but it's a pity that Gongsun Zhi doesn't buy it now, which is interesting."

As Baili Nian said, Zhang You did offer a clever plan for Gongsun Zhi, a plan that could win a chance for Nanming, but Zhang You is still a careful adviser with the world in mind, and Gongsun Zhi is no longer a king with the world in mind, he He only cares about his rights.

Mo Yan seemed to understand and nodded, but he was quite happy to see Baili twirling his lips into a smile.

"By the way, my lord, the secret envoy you sent to the official road of Cangyu Mountain has sent news. As you guessed, several small countries on the east side of Cangyu Mountain did send people into the news fortress of Nanming, but these small countries There is no intention of sending troops to seize these cities."

Although Baili Nian told Sai Jian that other small countries were also concerned about the cities outside Cangyu Mountain, but he did not say that these small countries did not have the courage to send troops.

Baili Nian raised his eyes and glanced out of the window, his eyes were a bit cold, "I have a heart but no guts, and I am thinking about this piece of fat, but I dare not rush to send troops to Nanming, and I missed this best opportunity for nothing."

These small countries are afraid of Nanming, thinking that Nanming is the overlord of the world, but they don't know that their fear has made these small countries lose the opportunity to become powerful.

"Will King Qiang Zhuo have such courage again?" Mo Yan asked.Mo Yan knew that Baili Nian had persuaded Sai Jian. Baili Nian had long thought about this transportation fortress and information hub. If he could hold it in his hands, he would be able to observe the situation of the world, but if Sai Jian had no courage like those small countries, then he would This piece of fat is lost in vain.

Is it appropriate for Baili Nian to pin this confidence on Sai Jian?Mo Yan didn't have much confidence in Sai Jian.

And Baili Nian pursed his lips, his eyes were indifferent, he didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, after a long while, he opened his mouth and uttered two words.

"He can."
