Vol 5 Chapter 144: Start the army (one more)

Ye Chang received the secret letter and brocade box sent from Jiangnan by Ye Xi sent the three letters on the evening of the day.
He was riding the fastest horse. After running for three days and nights, he came to Rong'an Prince's Mansion and passed the secret letter and the brocade box to Ye Chang.
Ye Chang first opened the secret letter and read it, then opened the brocade box. When he saw the contents, he stood up still sitting in surprise with his concentration, wondering why Ye Xi sent the blame to come in person. Jingcheng sent him a letter, this secret letter and this brocade box are really important.
This letter was written by Ye Xi, and this brocade box was something that Patriarch Ye said was given to him by his grandfather when he was on his deathbed, which was related to Ye Yan, so he was not allowed to open it and keep it safe. Patriarch Ye put it in a secret place in the Ye family. When he and Su Fengnuan were in the south of the Yangtze River, they went to Fengshan because they didn’t stay at the Ye family for long. They were in the secrets of Wangdi Mountain thinking about Ye Yan. I already knew it completely. Now that there is something, it shouldn't matter. I don't worry about it, so I put it aside.
Later, Su Fengnuan was taken away by Feng Lai, and he returned to Beijing under severe injuries. The incident was forgotten. He didn't expect that Ye Xi had turned it over now, and it turned out to be such a major event.
He clutched the letter, his face changed for a while, and finally some unsolvable mysteries were suddenly solved.
He was silent for a long time, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and whispered, "Qianhan."
Qian Han should have come close to Ye Chang, "Shi Zi."
Ye Chang said, "You leave immediately, go to Xiangnan City, and find an opportunity to give this letter to Nuan'er."
Qian Han was startled, "The son? If you belong to the east, who will protect you?"
Ye Chang said, "There are two uncles here, so just don't worry, bring more people, don't hide your whereabouts, just ask to get this letter as soon as possible."
Qian Han accepted the letter and nodded, "Don't worry, your subordinates will deliver it."
Ye Chang nodded, "Go ahead."
Qian Han turned around and walked out of Ye Chang's room. He simply tidied up, ordered Fifty Guards, and immediately left Rong'an Prince's Mansion. He rode out of the capital while the gate was not closed.
After Qian Han left, Ye Chang ordered the housekeeper to prepare a car and go to the Guozhang's Mansion.
Xu Yunchu was in the study and heard that Ye Chang had come to the mansion of the Guozhang. He glanced at the sky and said quickly, "Hurry up and invite Ye Shizi into the mansion."
The housekeeper hurriedly invited Ye Chang into the Guozhang's Mansion and took him to Xu Yunchu's study.
After closing the door, Xu Yunchu saw that Ye Chang's face was bad, and asked him, "It's getting late, and the eldest son came to the Guozhang's Mansion, but what happened? You are injured. Send someone to let me know. Just go to Rong'an Palace to find you."
Ye Chang pursed his lips, "I received a letter and a thing from my cousin today. It is of great importance. I will come to discuss with you."
Xu Yunchu looked at him, "Say, please."
Ye Chang stopped talking, and handed Xu Yunchu the letter he received from Ye Xi and the brocade box, and said, "See it for yourself."
Xu Yunchu took the letter and read it, and then looked at the contents of the brocade box. He was shocked for a while. Looking at Ye Chang, he didn't say anything for a long time, "This... why?"
Ye Chang said, "I don't believe it either, but it is true. There is nothing wrong with it. This brocade box has been kept for many years and no one has ever moved it."
Xu Yunchu was surprised for a long time, and then slowly recovered his thoughts, "This... is a big deal. If it is like this, it will be troublesome."
Ye Chang nodded, "Yes, it's troublesome."
Xu Yunchu said, "It is true that the Xu family is the first to bear the brunt of the deep roots of the ruling and opposition parties, but today's Xu family is not as good as before. Since my grandfather retired, I have trimmed the Xu family's branches and leaves almost. If you are too sharp, you will be taboo again. Except for the Xu family, those who are entrenched so deeply in this court and the opposition are regarded as..."
As he said, he stopped, and seemed to be very taboo to mention that name.
Ye Chang grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and he naturally knew what Xu Yunchu had not finished. His face was dark, "In this way, even if you and I join forces, and then join the king, I am afraid it is not optimistic."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "That's right."
Ye Chang said, "That's why I came to discuss with you."
Xu Yunchu looked at Ye Chang, "What is the urgent matter, but what is a good way? I really can't think of it. No matter whether it is about identity, authority, or prestige, nothing has been criticized. These years, it has been hidden too well. . Even now, there is not the slightest hint."
Ye Chang pursed his lips, "Let's move troops."
Xu Yunchu was startled, "Armed?"
Ye Chang nodded, "Preemptive strike."
Xu Yunchu looked at him, "Is this...I'm afraid it's not good? If you move troops in the capital, then, if you see the chaos in the capital, I am afraid that it will be chaos after hearing the wind, especially since the disaster has been so long in all parts of the world. People have already complained."
Ye Chang said, "It's because Nan Qi has been in the disaster for too long, and the treasury has been emptied, which is abnormal. If you let it go, then Nan Qi may really collapse fundamentally." Said, "He may not want this country, or destroy it."
Xu Yunchu still hesitated, "What's the reason for the sudden rise of the army? Now that you don't have a will in your hand, the courtiers are afraid that you will not accept it? Do you want to expose everything to the world? So, whether it is the royal family of the Southern Qi Dynasty or the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then, Thousands of years later, the Liu family is really a joke. A joke, a thousand feats can't be wiped out. In the future, you will become the throne and future generations will have to comment."
Ye Chang said coolly, "What can't be erased is facts and history. It's better to be judged by people than when I was destroyed by Nan Qi. Thousands of people are in dire straits and life is overwhelmed. What he wants is not to move a soldier. One is like Zhan Yi's return to politics for a hundred years.
Xu Yunchu was both frightened and cold, and was silent for a long while, and suddenly said firmly, "I support you in moving troops."
Ye Chang nodded and said, "If it is to move troops, the soldiers in the capital may not be able to move."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Deep in age, he has been in control of the court. Maybe this soldier and horse is really in his hands. It is true that we can't move the soldiers and horses in Beijing, lest we will be restrained and be in danger."
Ye Chang said, "When I came here, I thought about it all the way. If the Northern Zhou Dynasty Xingbing, a million soldiers and horses in the West could not be moved. Fortunately, I sent 200,000 soldiers and horses from Yanbei to Beijing. Right. Those two hundred thousand soldiers and horses have been honed in Yanbei for half a year, and they should be useful. If they are on the battlefield, whether it is the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses of Beijing Lu or the fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the five cities. , Not necessarily an opponent."
Xu Yun first pondered, "If that's the case, Yanbei will be empty. If the Northern Zhou dynasty will reinvigorate Yanbei, it will be the same as before, but what should be done?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Concubine Xiao Xian is now in control of the court. At the beginning, Chu Han's biggest defeat was in Yanbei. One was the terrain of Yanbei. Second, after the Yanbei war, the king of Yanbei and the first son made another Yanbei. The defense of the North was 50,000 soldiers in Yanbei, and 300,000 soldiers after Chu Han had 300,000 horses. They couldn’t take Yanbei. Now, he didn’t know or guess that I was going to move Yanbei’s two. There are 100,000 soldiers and horses, so I must not dare to kick the iron plate of Yanbei again."
Xu Yunchu said, "It makes sense." After the words fell, looking at Ye Chang, "You said that the Northern Zhou Dynasty will reinvigorate soldiers? But the prince is waiting for this? I also vaguely guessed today."
Ye Chang said, "It can't be wrong."
Xu Yunchu said, "If Concubine Xiao Xian doesn't kick the iron plate of Yanbei, then, what about a million soldiers and horses in the West? Can she move?"
Ye Chang said, "I guess if Concubine Xiao Xian is a soldier, it is estimated to be weaving from Lingshan and sending troops to Jiangnan."
Xu Yunchu said in shock, "Since the plague four years ago, Lingshan has been a mountain of bones piled up with bones. The weaving of Lingshan has already been sealed off and has become a desolate place. If Concubine Xiao Xian bypassed the West, it would really be A road that leads directly to Jiangnan."
Ye Chang said, "Yes, so, the soldiers in Jiangnan can't move, more than they can't move, I also need a letter to let people go to Jiangnan quickly, so that my cousin can prepare."
Xu Yunchu said, "But there are few soldiers in Jiangnan."
Ye Chang said, "I'll write another letter, and send people to the west quickly. Jiangnan and the west will unite to deal with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In this way, the border defense will be foolproof."
Xu Yunchu clapped his hands, "In this case, there are no soldiers in Yanbei, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty does not dare to invade, but chooses Jiangnan. Then, a million soldiers and horses in the West and 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan are enough to deal with Concubine Xiao Xian's revival."
Ye Chang nodded, "So, after guarding the frontier defense, Yanbei's 200,000 soldiers and horses were transferred back to the capital and broke the black hand behind it."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "It's the Eastern Border again, and the King of Xiang County is about to move."
Ye Chang said, "I have just sent Qianhan to the east to send a letter to Nuan'er. After he saw the letter, he naturally knew that he would handle the east in this way. Therefore, there is her in the east, so we don't care about it."
Xu Yunchu took a deep breath, "According to our preparations, how long will it take?"
Ye Chang calculated, "The floating shadow in your mansion, borrow it, first go to Yanbei to deliver the letter, and then turn to the west to deliver the letter. The cousin's guard reprimands you to set off tomorrow morning to send the letter back to Jiangnan. Floating shadow rides a fast horse. , Three days and nights can go to Yanbei, the king of Yanbei and Shizi received a letter, if they send troops to Beijing, 200,000 soldiers and horses from the capital, want to quietly approach the capital, it will take a lot of effort, presumably it will take seven days. Then, That is ten days. At that time, Fuying will turn from Yanbei to the west, and the west will get news. It will be limited to ten days. In these ten days, you and I will stabilize the situation in Beijing."
