Chapter 271: A Triumph Return
Arrange border defense and Ningze returns to Jinzhou.
After a long journey, we finally arrived smoothly.
When we arrived in Jinzhou, we found that cities everywhere had significant changes, the walls were stronger, the roads were flattering, and the soldiers guarding the city were more energetic and morale were stronger.
At the same time, the counties and cities are much more prosperous than before, with caravans flowing endlessly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The people's hearts in each city are between 90 and 100, which is completely different from outside Jinzhou. This is due to Liu Yuanxiang's kindness. With a place where she is in charge, the people's hearts are easier to improve.
When he returned to Huajun, he had not yet arrived at the city. Liu Yuanxiang indeed led all civil and military officials out of the city to greet him for thirty miles, which was even bigger than before.
The elite soldiers along the road lined up with neat flags, and countless people behind the army were also welcomed by the road.
Ningze returned triumphantly in conquering several states, with an unparalleled reputation. As a place for uprising, coupled with the uninterrupted policies to benefit the people over the past two years, the people returned. When they learned that Ningze had returned, they took the initiative to go out to greet them regardless of the cold weather.
When Ning Ze led the officers and generals with the army, and the main army appeared, he went out of the city to welcome the army and shouted: "Welcome the Marquis to return triumphantly!!"
The entire army shouted in unison, and the momentum was like thunder, which attracted the people from behind to shout together, and the entire Huajun city seemed to be shaking.
This momentum has suffocated many officials and generals who followed Ningze to Hua County for the first time. Faced with such a scene, everyone was excited.
Ning Ze rode his claws and Huang Feidian in front, and Liu Yuanxiang also came to him with his civil and military officials.
When they arrived in front of Ning Ze, a group of civil and military officials dismounted, all bowed and bowed, shouted: "Welcome the Marquis to return triumphantly!!"
"No gift!" Ning Ze waved his hand and helped him.
After the ceremony of the officials, they were divided into two rows of civil and military personnel, retreated to the left and right and stood.
Behind Ning Ze, he dismounted with the military officers and generals, saluted Liu Yuanxiang in unison: "I'm here to pay homage to my lord!"
"No!" Liu Yuanxiang accepted the worship ceremony and watched the officials retreat to both sides.
Then she and Ning Ze dismounted at the same time and walked slowly towards each other.
"Thank you for your hard work in the military advisor!" Standing face to face, Liu Yuanxiang bowed with a smile.
"This is my duty!" Ning Ze also smiled and replied.
Although they are husband and wife, the official status is still the monarch and minister, and necessary etiquette is indispensable.
"The military advisor led the army to fight hard on the front line. Today, I will return triumphantly. I will lead the horse for you!" Liu Yuanxiang walked towards Huang Feidian, and reached out to grab the reins.
Ning Ze smiled and said, "My lord is so kind to me! Instead of being the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the
After the words finished, she picked her up in the waist, helped her to the back of the horse, turned over to the horse, hugged her horse from behind, and walked straight towards the city gate.
"The military advisor is mighty!" Later, Song Gao shouted loudly when he saw this.
"The military advisor is mighty! The military advisor is mighty!!" All civil and military officials, all the soldiers of the army, including the people, shouted in unison, and there was a joyful atmosphere.
The couple rode together with Huang Feidian, and civil and military officials joined forces, and they all got on horseback and followed closely, returning to the city amidst cheers.
A banquet has been set up in the city to welcome Ningze and the soldiers of the army.
The entire Huajun city is also decorated with lights. Although it is a cold winter, the people on the streets laugh and celebrate the triumph, as if driving away the cold.
Above the banquet, there were delicious delicacies, singing and dancing, which was quite lively.
Halfway through the wine, Liu Yuanxiang asked Songwu to retreat, turned to look at Ning Ze with a smile: "The military advisor actually conquered the four states of Liang, Xi, Jiang and Yuan during this trip, and made great achievements in military achievements! All the people in Jinzhou are happy and cheered!"
Ning Ze replied: "I can conquer the four states because Sun Yi, Chu Bai, Cheng Wan and others are incompetent, and the soldiers are using their lives. Even if they get the four states, they must not be too obsessed. Lu Cong wiped out Zhou Nan, Ma Jian emerged from a new army, and Tang Niu annexed Puzhou. These three are powerful enemies, not Sun Yi, Chu Bai, Cheng Wan and others. There will be a greater battle next year, and preparations need to be stepped up!"
"With a military advisor here, I have no worries!" Liu Yuanxiang said, "Now the military advisor helps the palace to seize the land of the seven states, almost half of the territory. However, with the position of this palace, the soldiers under my command are of high power and low position. Even the military advisors have to submit a letter to Emperor Hui. I think that now our army has the strength, it is better to set up a court and enfeoff hundreds of officials!"
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the hall showed an excited expression.
After all, under Liu Yuanxiang, except for officials below the prefect, the governors and higher-level officials need to be submitted and requested imperial edicts from the court of Emperor Hui who was unwilling to recognize them to be considered justified. This also makes most civil and military officials take over the power, but their positions are not in line with each other.
At present, Lu Cong's territory is much smaller than his side, but he respects it as the prime minister. Ning Ze, who has the most authority on his side, is just a fifth-rank general named by the other side, and a marquis. Even if he is the Muslim of Jinzhou, it is actually meaningless! In any case, his identity on the surface is shorter than the other side.
Officials often suggest that they set up their own official positions without having to go through the approval of Emperor Hui, and they will be granted hundreds of officials. This time, Ning Ze destroyed the three major forces of Sun Yi, Chu Bai and Cheng Wan, which greatly increased their strength, and Liu Yuanxiang also became interested.
She didn't want Ning Ze to be called a marquis named by Emperor Hui. Neither side would surrender to his opponent, and he would inevitably compete for a high or low point. It would be inevitable that a battle will be inevitable next year. Why continue to accept the other party's official position?
Hearing this, Ning Ze shook his head slightly and looked at Liu Yuanxiang and advised: "I know everything that the lord thinks. But it's not time. It would be extremely inappropriate to bypass the court and set up an official position at this moment! Although Emperor Hui had no imperial power, he was controlled by Lu Cong, he was still nominally orthodox."
"Where is the orthodox theory of Emperor Hui under Lu Cong? The emperor's position was not correct, and now there is no last order. How can Emperor Hui be compared with this palace?" Liu Yuanxiang was dissatisfied.
"The truth is right, but people in the world don't think so." Ning Ze replied, "If the lord does this, it will be harmful or useless."
"According to the military advisor's opinion..."
"Lu Ken knows his ambitions all over the world. Emperor Hui is under his control and he will be dissatisfied!" Ning Ze said, "There is a gap between the two and will break sooner or later. The court is Lu Ken's hawks and dogs, and Emperor Hui should ask for help from outside. The lord's identity is special, not the ones that Emperor Hui wants. Tang Niu and Emperor Hui are not in harmony, but Ma Jian can only use it. Ma Jian wants to save Emperor Hui, and will definitely annoy Lu Ken. Just send someone to provoke and secretly warn this matter. Lu Ken will definitely eliminate Emperor Hui and establish a new king. Only with Emperor Hui, Lu Ken's prestige is damaged, Emperor You's blood is completely destroyed, and only the royal family's distant relatives are left. If he is established, his prestige will plummet and not be easy to convince the public. If he is not established, Lu Ken will usurp the throne. No matter what the situation occurs, there will be no word orthodox. At that time, the strong will be respected, and the lord will be honored as the daughter of the late emperor in the name of restoring the great power. Therefore, we need to be patient for the time being!"
After hearing this, Liu Yuanxiang nodded slowly: "The military advisor is right! Since that's the case, I will postpone this matter."
"The lord is wise!"
"If Lu Cong raises an army to invade the territory and conquers himself in the name of Emperor Hui, we are at a disadvantage!" Liu Yuanxiang said, "How to deal with it?"
Ning Ze replied: "Lord, don't worry! Now, our army's intelligence personnel are lurking in the sixteen prefectures of Dacheng. Through the Chamber of Commerce, a complete propaganda line has been established. From now on, we will launch a propaganda offensive to make everyone in the world know the name of the lord's benevolence and loyalty to Dacheng. At the same time, we will vigorously promote the remarks that Lu Gong used the emperor to order the princes to be single-in-court to be the court. First, we will set the name of the traitor in the eyes of the world, and second, we can take the opportunity to provoke Emperor Hui and Lu Gong to intensify the conflict between the two. As long as the propaganda work is in place, Lu Gong sends troops to attack us, and in the name of Emperor Hui, he will attack the emperor's sister for no reason. If he does not use Emperor Hui, he will despise the royal family and want to eliminate the royal family to prepare for usurpation of power. No matter what, it is not a just war! As long as we occupy the height of public opinion, we will not suffer any loss!"
"It turns out that the military advisor was prepared!" Liu Yuanxiang felt relieved.
"Brother, I actually don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome!" Dewey stood up and said, "With our army's current strength, we can completely wipe out Lu Cong, Tang Niu and Ma Jian in one fell swoop. As long as we eliminate all the enemies, the world will be the lord!"
"That's right! Why bother to worry too much? The late emperor will conquer the world immediately before he can achieve great success!"
"There is also the same as the general!"
...
Many generals spoke one after another, and most of them felt that they now occupy the seven states and did not have to worry about those things. Even if they directly establish a new court, there was nothing wrong with it.
"If Lu Gong, Tang Niu, and Ma Jian are really vulnerable, this is correct!" Ning Ze said, "The fastest way to eliminate the three princes and support the lord to ascend the throne, there may be chaos in the world, but they can be controlled in time. However, these three princes are not like Chu Bai and Cheng Wan. Tang Niu has the order of the world's number one general, and how can he underestimate the two states of Bian and Puzhou by force alone? Ma Jian emerged and quickly annexed Gunzhou and Wuzhou is not an ordinary person. Lu Gong took the emperor to command the princes, and nearly half of the good ministers in the world will return to the court. Sima Fazhi is not inferior to Ouyang Chun, and is also an ordinary person. These three states of princes are all great enemies. Urgent pursuit will only make us passive, and we must not do it!"
"Who can compare with the military advisor in this world?" Song Gao said, "No matter how strong Tang Niu is, he is just a reckless man. No matter how powerful Ma Jian is, can he be stronger than his father Ma Qiao? As for Sima Fa, Ouyang Chun can defeat him. With the wisdom of the military advisor, he can easily win!"
Ning Ze shook his head: "Marching and fighting is not about one person's courage. Perhaps our power has expanded too much, which has made you all expand. Our side lacks talent. If the enemy launches a large-scale battle, how to separate the legions and fight each other and ensure victory is a big problem. Even if we win one battle, if all other battlefields are defeated, we will be defeated!"
"My generals, the military advisors have thought carefully and every sentence is reasonable!" Chu Wenxiu stood up, "Insufficient talents are our biggest flaw. Now that we have obtained the seven states, officials of each state, and even county, town and village must be managed, it is not easy. Now we need to establish a line of defense to deal with the Lu Cong army that may come at any time, and we will definitely not be careless!"
"That's right!" Meiren Chu also spoke, "Staying steady is the strategy that our army needs most at present."
Many civil officials came out to agree with Ning Ze's view.
The other generals also agreed and soon reached an agreement.
Chapter completed!
