Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The night is charming, on the official road of Zhongyang Mansion in Zhongzhou, the army is resting and there are continuous bonfires.

In the tent at the center of the army, Li Yuan, Li Si, A Qing, Yuwen Chengdu, Jia Xu, Ma Chao, Zhong Lizhen, Liu Jin and others gathered.

In addition, five strangers also gathered together.

Four men and one woman.

The one in the middle smiled kindly and calmly, with a unique temperament exuding from the inside out.

Wang Meng.

The man on the right is wearing a long robe, with a gentle and gentle breath, and a trace of bright light in his eyes!

Fan Zhongyan.

The man on the left stands proudly, with a resolute face, and a fearless temperament that makes this man even more eye-catching.

Wei Zheng.

On the far right, Wang Yue has a solemn face and sharp eyes. He has a long sword tied to his waist, his gray robe is spotless, and his posture is upright.

On the far left is a heroic female general, and most people's eyes are focused on her.

Wearing silver robes and jade armor, he is full of heroism and has an aura that is not inferior to that of a man.

Qin Liangyu!

"Wang Meng (Fan Zhongyan, Wei Zheng, Wang Yue, and Qin Liangyu of the Prince's Palace of Chu) have met with their colleagues."

When the five people arrived for the first time, they bowed their hands to everyone.

"Li Si, Prince of Chu's Mansion."

"Jia Xu, Prince of Chu's Mansion."

"The Prince of Chu's Mansion Yuwen Chengdu."

"Zhongli Mei from Prince Chu's Mansion."

"Ma Chao from Prince Chu's Mansion."

Everyone introduced themselves one by one.

They are all outstanding people awakened by His Highness. They feel very close to each other when they first meet, and several of them are good talkers.

Soon everyone was enjoying themselves and chatting happily.

Li Yuan also chatted with Ah Qing for a few words, then ended everyone's conversation, looked at everyone and smiled softly:

"What do you know about this trip to Kyoto?"

Everyone's eyes moved, they stopped talking, and their expressions varied.

Li Si's deep eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Wang Meng and Fan Zhongyan with a smile.

Jia Xu curled his beard at the corner of his mouth, with a thin face and a faint smile, lowering his head to drink tea.

Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Lizhen, and Ma Chao raised their brows lightly and looked at the five of them with bright eyes.

Wang Meng, Fan Zhongyan, and Wei Zheng looked solemn. They had been summoned by His Highness in the morning, and Liu Jin had informed them of everything.

Qin Liangyu sat firmly on the chair, looked calm, and drank tea calmly.

Wang Yue was shining with excitement and excitement.

Ah Qing looked at Wang Yue's appearance, his handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he shook his head silently.

When he first met Wang Yue, Ah Qing felt that he was a good swordsman and had profound attainments in swordsmanship.

It's a pity that the sword's intention is not pure.

"Your Highness, we are going to Kyoto. I think we can write a letter first and send it to the royal family to directly express our attitude. We will wait and see the attitude of the royal family."

Wei Zheng was the first to speak. His face was solemn and he said without any politeness:

"The attitude of the royal family will determine our attitude when we arrive in Kyoto."

Wei Zheng's eyes were cold. As long as the royal family was not stupid, they should know which side they were on.

If the royal family really dares to stop them, it shows the stupidity and short-sightedness of those people, then there is no need to give them face, it is not a concern at all.

Everyone nodded slightly. Indeed, the attitude of the royal family will determine whether they use strong methods.

It's not up to them to decide whether to enter Kyoto or not.

Fan Zhongyan had a gentle expression on his face and nodded slightly: "While informing the royal family first, we can also let the expert factory spread the news to the world that His Majesty Emperor Yao is about to abdicate the throne to His Highness, and then use the expert factory to contact the officials who have surrendered and cater to them to enhance credibility. Spend."

"After that, a letter from His Highness was sent to all the ministers and ministers in the ministries, and he was recruiting openly and honestly."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all understood what Fan Zhongyan meant.

Soon everyone looked at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng took a step forward and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, I feel that we should not pay attention to matters in Kyoto, but focus on the battle in the southwest."

When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he raised his head.

"oh?"

Li Yuan was a little surprised when he heard Wang Meng's different answers, but he thought quickly in his mind and asked with surprise on his face:

"Jinglue, do you mean that the southwest war will end soon?"

"That's right, Your Highness."

Wang Meng cupped his fists and said calmly, with a kind of wisdom and confidence that filled the entire camp.

“The pressure brought by His Highness, the pressure on Prince Xuan and the Zhenguo Mansion is far greater and heavier than the pressure on the Kyoto court.

They will definitely decide the winner in the shortest time. When the true details of both sides are revealed, no matter which side sets the bait, the other side will bite it without hesitation. "

"Everyone now thinks that His Highness will go to Kyoto to take control of the court next, including Prince Xuan and Zhenguo Mansion.

Therefore, my subordinates believed that we should let the civilian officials lead some soldiers and horses to continue to Kyoto to cover up others' eyes, while the military generals led the main army to divert to Qingzhou, and suddenly appeared after their decisive battle to deal with them. "

Wang Meng's voice was loud, firm and confident.

His Highness has solved Prince Xuan and Zhenguo Mansion, the royal family, and Kyoto, and all obstacles have disappeared!

Qin Liangyu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his head, clenching his fists, showing a strong fighting spirit.

As a military general, you should make great achievements.

The reason why she didn't care about the trip to Kyoto just now was because the people present were all powerful officials in the court and were skilled in their methods. It was not her turn to come up with ideas and officialdom tactics, such as swords and swords.

But it's different on the battlefield. They're all fighting with real swords and guns. No one should be afraid of the other!

The same is true for Zhong Limei and Ma Chao.

Li Yuan heard Wang Meng's suggestion and thought about it seriously.

In his originally sound plan, he should first capture Kyoto and control Zhongzhou.

Regardless of victory or defeat in the Southwest War, the winning side will also suffer heavy losses. When Meng Tian and Lu Bu take Yang and Liangzhou, Meng Tian and Lu Bu will set off from Liangzhou and advance to Zhaozhou.

Fang Wukui, Zhong Limei, and Ma Chao led their armies to attack from Qingzhou, and the two armies attacked together.

With overwhelming momentum, whichever side wins, Prince Xuan or Zhenguo Mansion, cannot be his opponent.

This is a sure win situation!

Li Yuan really couldn't figure out how he lost at that time, and where did he lose?

Unless Prince Xuan and Zhenguo Mansion immediately stop fighting and join forces to deal with him.

Unfortunately, this is simply impossible.

He believed in King Xuan.

Although he had few serious conversations with Prince Xuan, he could feel the loyalty of Prince Xuan, the big brother, to the royal family. How could he cooperate with such traitors as Zhenguo Mansion?

He even believed that King Xuan and the Zhenguo Mansion would both perish together.

Wei Zheng kept frowning while listening to Wang Meng's words. After Wang Meng finished speaking, he also spoke:

"I don't think it's appropriate. Now our main target should be the imperial court in Zhongzhou. If we follow what Mr. Wang said, once Prince Xuan and the Zhenguo Mansion discover our traces and arrive at the border of Qingzhou, we will reap the benefits when they both lose. , what should we do if they stop the decisive battle? Kyoto has not yet been captured by then, and the situation in the southwest has also changed due to our sudden intervention. This change is unpredictable.

I think the Southwest should be allowed to take its course. "(End of chapter)
