Chapter 687: Changes in Donghuai, cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!

Donghuai.

In a mansion with no door plaque, several figures came in and out, and their steps were very hurried.

"Lord Jia!"

"There is news from the palace that the young prince has agreed to submit to Dayu."

"Um!"

Jia Xu nodded slightly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "During this period, the Imperial Master of Donghuai and the Prime Minister died violently at home one after another. This matter is really strange."

"I suspect it is Japan's fault. I will send someone to investigate in detail."

"yes!"

"Since the young prince has agreed to submit to Yu the Great, from now on, the name Donghuai will no longer be appropriate."

"From now on, Donghuai will be changed to Dongzhou of Dayu, and it will be temporarily taken over by the Donghuai royal family. In consideration of his young age, the three princesses of Donghuai will supervise the country."

"So good!"

After Jia Xu gave the order, he walked in with two burly men. When they saw Jia Xu, they smiled gently.

"gentlemen."

"Medicine Master, Tathagata, you are here."

"Um!"

Li Jing nodded slightly and said softly: "Now that Donghuai has experienced a great war, the army has been completely eroded, and the East China Sea defense line has also been eroded by Japanese slaves. It is urgent to rebuild the East China Sea defense line!"

"How is the Donghuai Navy?"

"The warships are old, the soldiers are old and weak, and the combat strength is less than one-tenth of the total victory."

"How does it compare to Yingzhou?"

"Vulnerable!"

There was a bit of a wry smile on Li Jing's face. He was not good at water fighting. Moreover, Donghuai was really riddled with holes nowadays. Both the court and the army were almost completely corrupted.

"My lord has said that although Yingzhou is small, it is a thorn in our side."

"Medicine Master, Tathagata, deployed the main force of our army along the East China Sea and moved the people inland. Although the Japanese slaves dominated the sea, they were still a bunch of smelly rats on land."

"Don't they want to go ashore?"

"Just let them up, fulfill their wishes, close the door and beat the dogs!"

"promise!"

…

Dayu.

Early morning.

"The envoy from Xuandonghuai is here to see you."

"Xuan..."

A series of roars came out of the hall, and then several envoys walked into the Zhengde Hall together. They looked at the figure sitting next to the dragon chair and saluted respectfully.

"The foreign envoy from Donghuai is paying homage to His Highness King Sheng."

"No gift!"

"My emperor passed away a month ago. Fortunately, with the help of Dayu, our people in Donghuai were able to avoid the war. Now, the prince is young and the court is corrupt. We, Donghuai, are willing to bow to Dayu and respect him as our superior country!"

"Here is the certificate of credence. Please check it with Dayu, the superintendent of the country."

"Um!"

After Ning Chen briefly browsed it, he handed it to Shen Li who was standing aside. After the latter reviewed it, he passed it to Zhuge Liang, Lin Qiushi and others.

"What do you think?"

"Your Highness, this matter is serious. Do you want to report it to Your Majesty?"

Lin Qiushi was the first to speak. Now that King Yong has left Beijing, he has seen hope again. King Sheng is his son-in-law. With this marriage relationship, as long as King Sheng does not fall, he will still have the wind and rain in the court. Get rain.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Li slightly cupped his hands and said calmly: "Since Donghuai is willing to be included in my Dayu, this is what the ancient sages wanted. The Central Plains are one and the same ancestor and origin. I, Dayu and Donghuai are compatriots of flesh and blood, and now they have merged into one." One body is not a bad idea.”

"I second the proposal!"

Zhuge Liang, Shang Yang and others also said yes.

Ning Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, on behalf of my father, I accept the tribute from Donghuai!"

"However, now that the Donghuai Imperial Court exists in name only, and there is no successor to the imperial family, and the barbarians from the East China Sea are surrounded by barbarians, I think that the imperial court might as well be temporarily abandoned and managed as a shogunate. How about that?"

"I, the Great Yu, will send capable ministers and wise men to help me. What do you think, your envoy?"

"Kowtow to Dayu for supervising the country!"

This was just a formality. Now that Donghuai has been completely included in Dayu's territory, although it is not possible to take the title of Donghuai for the time being, with Jia Xu and others here, it will be a matter of time.

The early dynasty was like this. Next, Shen Li's Zhongshu Province will urgently need to solve the problems of Donghuai administration, people's livelihood, region, zoning, farming and other issues. However, now that Dayu's imperial examination is about to start, it is not urgent.

"Kong Ming, is there any news from my little brother?"

"Back to Your Highness, King Yong is still in Dali, and the specific situation is unknown."

"Why!"

Ning Chen sighed and said helplessly: "The prince who oversees the country is actually involved in danger himself. It's so stupid!"

"What do you think about the Donghuai incident?"

"Your Highness, His Highness King Yong has already arranged this matter before leaving. All you need to do is follow the steps."

"Well, there is news from the north. There seems to be something strange happening in Mobei."

"Mobei..."

Zhuge Liang and others all had expressions of concentration on their faces, and said in a deep voice: "This time, if Mobei really wants to make a comeback, I'm afraid it will be Hu Nu who enters the scene."

"It doesn't matter!" Shang Yang said calmly: "Commander Yue has re-garrisoned the northern border, with 300,000 troops stationed there. It will not be easy for Hu Nu to break through our border again."

"Alas, if my little brother doesn't come back, the people in the court will still be unstable after all!"

…

Liyang City.

More than 100,000 troops, led by the world's famous general 'Chen Ding', marched out of the city in a mighty manner, leaving only a few thousand fine armors to guard the four city gates.

"General, the main force of Dali is still half a day away from our army. Where should we set up an ambush?"

"Um……"

There was some hesitation on Chen Ding's face, and he said in a deep voice: "The soldiers under my command are not the main force, and their combat power cannot be compared with the main force of Dali. If they are intercepted rashly, and if they break through the blockade, Liyang City will be in danger. ”

"Give me my order and speed up the march. All you have to do is hold back the main force of Dali. When Commander Yun's main force catches up from behind, Dali will be destroyed."

"promise!"

The sky was getting dark, and it was late at night. In the north of Liyang City, a group of light cavalry was stationed in the vast wilderness. I don't know what time it was.

"Hui'er!"

A horse neighed, and the man in green shirt at the head slashed his long sword and shouted: "Soldiers, capture Liyang City, charge!"

After saying that, the 30,000 cavalrymen behind them all raised their whips vigorously and galloped away. In just half an hour, they arrived at the foot of Liyang City.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The defenders on the city tower were all shocked when they heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. Arrows were thrown towards the city tower. Many people were hit by the arrows without missing their heads and fell to the ground.

"Break open the city gate."

"Fight in!"

Guan Yu gave an order, Huang Zhong held his bow and narrowed his eyes, and a group of soldiers behind him rushed forward quickly. In just two sticks of incense, Liyang City was defeated.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen entered the city, as if they had already determined their purpose, and headed straight for the granary in Liyang City.

The door of the granary was opened, and the sacks that had been packed long ago were neatly placed on the carriage, as if they were specially prepared for them.

"hiss!"

"How to transport so much grain and grass back?"

"My lord has made a plan. The water will be transported to the east of Li first, and the Duke will lead an army to meet him there."

"good!"
