Chapter 223 Han Xin's urgent report: Conquer the Western Regions
Chu Yang sneered, "Why not? Isn't that old man going to abdicate? I want to see what he is up to! Besides, he can sit on the throne of the Great Zhou, but I can't?"
Wang Zheng shrank his neck and dared not say anything.
This Seventh Prince is good in every way except his decisive and murderous nature, which is really frightening.
Back in Japan, all those disobedient Japanese farmers were dealt with by him like chopping melons and vegetables.
Just thinking about it.
Several scouts walked over quickly, knelt on one knee, and presented several bamboo tubes in their hands.
"Your Highness, urgent news from the West!"
"Oh, what kind of urgent news requires so many people to deliver?"
"Your Highness, it is... it is General Han's military report."
The scout lowered his head, his voice trembling.
"Han Xin?"
Chu Yang's heart moved and he remembered something.
When he was at the border of the Xiongnu, he summoned Han Xin, Xiao He and Zhang Liang, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, at one breath.
Who knew that these three people kept talking about "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers different in kind?", which almost scared him to death.
In order to prevent these three people from suddenly taking action after gaining military power, he made up his mind and directly gave them 50,000 soldiers and horses, sending them to attack the Turks, under the pretext of "making great achievements".
They had been gone for several months and Chu Yang had almost forgotten about them, but he didn't expect to receive news today.
Thinking of this, he grabbed the bamboo tube and opened it impatiently.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Chu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Good fellow, this Han Xin is indeed a military genius!"
Wang Zheng, who was standing by, was immediately curious when he saw this. "Your Highness, did Han Xin win the battle?"
"It's more than just a victory!!"
Chu Yang took a deep breath, his tone full of disbelief, "He actually pacified the Turks within a month!"
Wang Zheng was stunned and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
You know, the Turks are a powerful enemy that has occupied the west for many years. They have strong soldiers and horses and are extremely ferocious.
All the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been troubled by him, but they didn't expect that he could be defeated so easily by Han Xin?
"Not only that,"
Chu Yang paused, and his tone became playful, "He also forced Emperor Yongning to abdicate."
"What? How...how is this possible?!"
Wang Zheng jumped up in shock.
Chu Yang threw the bamboo slips in his hand to him and sneered, "Look for yourself!"
Wang Zheng hurriedly took it and read it carefully. It was basically about the story of Han Xin, Zhang Liang and Xiao He forcing Emperor Yongning to abdicate.
Seeing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but take a breath and looked at Chu Yang with eyes full of awe.
This Seventh Prince seemed to be living happily in Japan, but unexpectedly, he had already set up such a murderous plan in secret!
"It seems that I underestimated the heroes of this world!"
Chu Yang looked into the distance, his eyes gleaming.
He had been worried about Liu Bowen's affairs before, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.
With the help of talented people like Han Xin, Xiao He, and Zhang Liang, who in this world can stop him? !
"Your Highness is wise!"
Wang Zheng quickly flattered him, "You are the true dragon emperor!"
Chu Yang smiled without comment, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Pass the order down, advance at full speed, target: the capital of the Great Zhou!"
that's it.
Chu Yang still brought Wang Zheng with him. After all, this person was not given by the system. If he rebelled one day, things would be troublesome.
As for the issues on the border of Japan, the remnants of the Xiongnu, the remnants of Chu Zhenzhou, the remnants of Japan, and the attention of the three princes of Qiongzhou, all can be left to Xun Yu and the others.
I don't have that much time to deal with military affairs.
After all, he is the new emperor now, and he has to deal with so many nobles and officials.
"It's really difficult to deal with such a large territory. Fortunately, the civil and military officials of the system will not rebel."
"It's really not easy to be an emperor who expanded the territory in ancient times!"
For a moment, Chu Yang was filled with emotion. After all, he could only read ten lines of history at a glance before, but it was so difficult to delve into it.
the other side.
The Turkic royal court has now changed greatly.
Han Xin ordered the originally magnificent palace to be converted into a training ground.
"General Han, I heard that the Seventh Prince defeated the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince led 600,000 troops to the Xiongnu. I guess the Seventh Prince will come back to ascend the throne. Why did you run away at this time?"
Xiao He was inspecting the soldiers' training on the parade ground and asked casually.
"Why stay there? We are trying to force Emperor Yongning to abdicate. If this gets exposed, it will be troublesome."
Han Xin didn't care and continued to wipe his sword.
"Haha, General Han, you worry too much. In my opinion, His Highness the Seventh Prince has a broad mind and will not care about these things."
Zhang Liang waved his feather fan and said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Even if His Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't care about this, the officials in the court will."
"So what does General Yi Han mean?"
Xiao He stopped and turned to look at Han Xin.
"Send troops to the west and use war to support war. Only when all those foreign tribes are dead, will the Great Zhou be stable."
Han Xin stood up suddenly and pointed to the west.
"But..." Xiao He wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Zhang Liang.
"General Han is right. We now have soldiers and food, and we must build a foundation for the people."
Hearing this, Han Xin burst into laughter. "The one who understands me is Mr. Zhang! I have made up my mind. I will set off immediately. My destination is the Western countries!"
a few days later.
Han Xin led an army of 50,000 and marched into the Western Regions in a mighty force.
They traveled westward with great momentum and soon conquered several small countries.
Just then, a personal soldier ran in in a panic.
"Report! General Han, something terrible has happened!"
"Why are you so alarmed?"
Han Xin frowned slightly and put down the military book in his hand.
"We found some Westerners gathering in the south, apparently checking out the situation in Da Zhou."
Hearing this, Han Xin nodded slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "It seems that they are coming."
At this time, Zhang Liang also walked in. He looked towards the southwest and said calmly, "The letter from the Turks has arrived. The war is about to begin."
Han Xin was not panicked at all, and said with a firm look: "You came just in time. I was just worried about having no place to train the troops!"
"General Han, this matter is of great importance. We only have 50,000 soldiers and horses. How can we resist the Western Region coalition forces?"
Xiao He looked solemn and said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? I'm never afraid of having too few soldiers, I'm just afraid of having no battles to fight."
Han Xin didn't care. He thrust the sword in his hand into the ground and spoke with great heroic spirit.
"General Han, what Mr. Xiao said makes sense."
"Now that His Majesty the Seventh Prince has just put down the civil unrest, the domestic situation has not yet stabilized. We are far away in the Western Regions, fighting alone, and food and supplies are all problems!"
Zhang Liang waved his feather fan with a frown on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. What do you want?"
Han Xin turned to look at Zhang Liang, obviously knowing what he meant.
"Yes, this matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty the Seventh Prince, and he will make the decision."
Zhang Liang nodded slightly, looked towards the east, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Han Xin pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
He picked up the pen and ink on the table, wrote down the situation in the Western Regions and the contents of the letter sent by the Turks in detail, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the personal soldier beside him, "Hurry up and hand this letter to His Majesty the Seventh Prince in person!"
"As ordered!"
The bodyguard took the envelope and quickly turned and left.
