Chapter 35: The game between the two sides, who will win in the end

imperial capital.

Qiankun Palace.

Recently, grand court meetings have been held frequently.

All officials dared not slack off.

You can't leave the imperial city even to rest.

Many strong men were drafted to the battlefield.

Chu Feng sat on the imperial throne.

Listening to the battle reports that kept coming in.

Bloody battle in Liangzhou.

The imperial army attacked Beiliang Prefecture fiercely and advanced step by step.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, the enemy was not in a good situation either.

If we continue to fight at this pace, it won't take long to capture Liangzhou.

"These noble families in the Western Territory are restless!"

"We must strike them hard in the Liangzhou campaign!"

In the court, some officials were cursing those aristocratic families.

They knew very well what those people were planning.

The imperial army fought bravely and decisively this time, which was completely different from the past.

This civil war must be quelled so that we can free up our hands to continue to deal with the enemies on all sides and completely exterminate them.

Read the battle report.

The bloody battle in Liangzhou, although stable, will continue for some time.

Chu Feng also knew that he couldn't rush and disrupt the plans of the generals at the front.

He was very confident about the Liangzhou Campaign, but it also depended on Prince Ning's next deployment.

"Report, Your Majesty, urgent news!"

Suddenly, a general in golden armor rushed into the hall holding a battle report.

"Read." Chu Feng raised his hand.

"The rebels have begun to mobilize on a large scale towards Xingzhou and have already entered Xingzhou. The governor of Xingzhou has requested support from the imperial court!"

Said the golden-armored general.

Xingzhou!

The ministers' pupils shrank.

They knew that there were wars in many other states besides Liangzhou, but they were just minor conflicts.

According to the latest battle report, the rebels have advanced on a large scale and transferred a large number of troops from the rear to Xingzhou.

The purpose is obvious.

They will focus their attack on Xingzhou.

Use the war in Xingzhou to lift the siege of Liangzhou.

Once Xingzhou is lost, the rebels can continue to capture various provincial capitals, which will affect the progress of the Liangzhou campaign and make it impossible for the powerful court officials to gain a foothold in Liangzhou.

This time, Prince Ning's strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao was quite impressive.

"Xingzhou has the Marquis of Zhenshan guarding it, but if the rebels really attack Xingzhou, they will be unstoppable."

Lu Ming thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "King Ning's purpose is very clear, which is to force us to save Xingzhou."

"In Xingzhou, in addition to the imperial court's troops, there are also the troops of the King of Xing."

Chu Feng said.

Prince Xing was the nineteenth son of Taizu.

However, Prince Xing had mediocre talent and only relied on a large amount of resources to reach the Yuanshen realm. Naturally, he had no idea of ​​the throne.

"Quickly withdraw the garrison troops from around Xingzhou to support Xingzhou first. The attack on Liangzhou cannot be slowed down. Order Duke Yang and Wang Ben to attack with all their strength. Their mission is Liangzhou. Don't think too much. The rest has nothing to do with them!"

Chu Feng gave the order decisively.

He knew very well that he could use Liangzhou to turn the tide and completely break the balance between him and Prince Ning.

Even if Xingzhou was destroyed or even lost, Liangzhou would continue to fight.

Now the court needs a bigger victory to boost morale again.

As long as the imperial court gains enough advantage, the people of Prince Ning will become chaotic, and in future counterattacks, the provincial governments will surrender directly when they see the imperial army.

The ministers understood Your Majesty's attitude.

Chu Feng also asked his uncle Chang Hai to lead a part of the reinforcements to rush to Xingzhou.

Wang Ben and his men, who were fighting in Liangzhou, also learned the news of Xingzhou.

"Prince Ning has a good idea. Go divide the troops to attack Xingzhou!" Yang Yun said heavily: "General Wang, the situation is clear. The rebels are lucky with us. Xingzhou and Liangzhou are the two major combat focuses. There are both offensive and defensive ones. It depends on who can achieve the strategic goal first!"

"The sooner we end the war here, the less pressure on the court will be. By disrupting Prince Ning's deployment, we will enter an era of great counterattack!"

Wang Ben's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Speed ​​up the pace of attack!"

After seeing the imperial army launch a tougher attack.

Yang Tianhai is also very stable.

He and Chu Cang had discussed opening up a second front.

The longer he needs to guard, the better.

This breaks the balance.

The court side.

They don't need to worry too much about the battle in Liangzhou.

But the battle reports from Xingzhou made them worried.

Although the defenders of Xingzhou, under the leadership of Marquis Zhenshan, did not collapse at the first blow and put up wave after wave of resistance, the situation was very bad.

The rebels advanced step by step and made rapid progress.

This was also because of the previous series of great victories, which consolidated the morale of the army.

As a last resort, the imperial court had to continue to draw garrison troops from various places to provide support while maintaining stability in various places.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are led by Li Hong, and it is difficult for Zhenshan Hou to be their opponent. According to the battle report, there are some unfamiliar strong men among the rebels, which also creates great pressure."

The Minister of War said.

Duan Qianqiu said, "After fighting to this extent, King Ning will naturally not hold back. In my opinion, the unfamiliar strong men should be recruited by the old Taoist Yang Tianhai for King Ning, and some of them are overseas strong men."

"We cannot lose Xingzhou. We must grit our teeth and hold on. Otherwise, Liangzhou will be defeated, and the good situation planned by the court will collapse. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future."

Everyone knows that the battle of Xingzhou is important and concerns Liangzhou.

【Destiny Choice 1: Give up Xingzhou.】

[Destiny Choice 2: Give up the attack on Liangzhou. ]

[Destiny Choice Three: Continue to support Xingzhou to contain the rebels, and at the same time carry out the Liangzhou Campaign.]

Listen to the noisy words of the ministers.

A choice from the system suddenly appeared in front of Chu Feng.

"It is absolutely impossible for me to give up the strong attack on Liangzhou. Liangzhou must continue to be fought, and Xingzhou must also be defended. We need to contain the rebels in Xingzhou to prevent them from threatening the safety of the surrounding prefectures after taking Xingzhou, and to ensure the smooth progress of the Liangzhou campaign."

Chu Feng said.

He knew that the first and second options were safer, but not in his interest.

But the third one, although it involves some risks, is also an opportunity to completely turn the situation around.

He couldn't let go of such a great opportunity.

He believed that the main general who was attacking Liangzhou would not let him down.

"Lu Xuanzhong, go support Xingzhou!"

"I accept your order!"

A middle-aged man stepped out and said firmly: "If the rebels want to pass through Xingzhou, they will have to step over my corpse. I will fight to the end!"

Lu Xuanzhong, the contemporary Duke of Lu.

His father died in battle a hundred years ago, and Lu Xuanzhong inherited the title of Duke.

However, this Duke Lu was not respected by many people, as they believed that his achievements were merely the result of the efforts of his ancestors.

Otherwise, how could he become Duke of Lu?

Lu Xuanzhong had been holding his breath, and now he finally had an opportunity.

"And this time the rebels are fierce. The two major battlefields are important points of contention. No one can afford to fail."

Chu Feng looked at Duan Qianqiu and said, "Duan Qianqiu, this time you will go to Xingzhou with Duke Lu to arrange the deployment. The result I want is that the rebels cannot break through Xingzhou and disrupt the battle in Liangzhou."

"He wants to use Xingzhou to force me to give up Liangzhou, but I also want to use Xingzhou to contain his power. Let's see who can hold out longer!"

The head of the Censorate.

Before Taizu founded the country, there were already famous strong men.

How could he be weak when he was able to provide advice and strategies to Emperor Taizu and establish his own kingdom?

"I accept the decree."

Duan Qianqiu said.

"Every moment you hold out in Xingzhou will buy a moment more time in the Liangzhou battlefield. This is a game between the two sides. The country and the people, the stability of Daxia, whether we can successfully suppress the rebellion and restore the stability of Daxia, depends on you."

Chu Feng's voice echoed in the Qiankun Hall.

[The host makes destiny choice three and is rewarded with a bottle of Dragon Transformation Pill. ]
