"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1055
The Far Eastern Dynasty, the capital of the king.
Emperor Longjun is always paying attention to the battle on the front line of Hexi Province. After all, whether the war goes well or not is related to the safety of the capital.
If the front line of the Hexi Province was lost, then the capital of the king would face the front of the rebel army, and he might lead all the civil and military officials to flee westward.
Once he leaves the royal capital, he will be unable to control the situation, and the resurgence of the Far East Dynasty will be hopeless.
Therefore, the emperor Long Jun was very concerned about the frontline battles, and he also had high hopes for Hu Ziyang, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard.
After Hu Ziyang arrived at the front line, he actively built fortifications and adjusted deployment.
The 300,000 troops were stationed in Hexi Province, firmly blocking the Qinghe Army's attack. The Qinghe Army is now hesitating, and the stone hanging in Long Jun's heart finally fell to the ground.
As long as time drags on a little longer, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qinghe Army will definitely retreat due to lack of food and grass, and the crisis in Hexi will be resolved by then.
However, just as the emperor Long Jun felt more at ease, another accident occurred on the front line of Hexi Province.
The Qinghe Army unexpectedly broke through the border defense line with the momentum of thunder, came to a tiger's mouth and pulled out its teeth, captured Qingcheng Mansion, and ate Liu Yan's tens of thousands of troops in one bite.
When hearing the news, Long Jun was also shocked, worried that the defense line would collapse.
Fortunately, this was just a false alarm, and the battle report that Hu Ziyang sent back to the capital showed that Qingcheng Mansion had been recaptured, and the defense line had been consolidated again.
However, what happened this time also frightened the emperor Long Jun, who scolded Liu Yan, the general who conquered the East, for being incompetent.
?After all, guarding a solid city, with tens of thousands of troops in hand, to have suffered such a disastrous defeat, is nothing more than a stupid pig.
In particular, Hu Ziyang put all the responsibility for the defeat on Liu Yan, a dead man, so that Liu Yan's father-in-law Su Chong couldn't argue with it.
As an important minister of the imperial court, Wu Chong's son-in-law holds a large army outside. Although he is not as powerful as the left and right prime ministers, he is still powerful.
This time, with Liu Yan's defeat on the front line, Su Chong, an important minister, also lost foreign aid.
Sun Dong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites who had always been at odds with Su Chong, took the opportunity to add insult to injury, using Liu Yan's defeat as an excuse to attack Su Chong, an important minister of the court.
The front line was defeated. Although Liu Yan, the scapegoat, was dead, the other important officials of the Far Eastern court, who had fierce internal factional struggles, naturally would not let go of this opportunity to share power.
Following Sun Dong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, insulting Su Chong, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing also opened his mouth to blame Su Chong. After all, he is Liu Yan's father-in-law, and he wanted to take this opportunity to pull him down and replace him with his own people.
After a game in the court, Su Chong, an important minister of the court, also returned in defeat.
Naturally, the Emperor Longjun was not willing to go against public opinion, and dismissed Su Chong's minister and a series of positions.
Considering the merits he had made, Su Chong was able to dismiss him and return to his hometown for retirement instead of going to prison.
However, the infighting in the court caused by the defeat of Liu Yan on the front line further weakened the power of the court.
Liu Yan was defeated, and Su Chong, an important official of the court, was implicated and dismissed. Yan Jing, Sun Dong and others all got their wish and gained more power.
Following the defeat of Liu Yan, the general who conquered the East on the front line, Hu Ziyang, Marshal of the Imperial Guards on the front line, also lost his grip.
Although Yan Jing and others once supported the Dragon King's supremacy with Hu Ziyang, they are all comrades in the same trench.
But now with their respective powers, the relationship between them has changed from an ally to a hostile relationship.
Especially Yan Jing, Prime Minister Zuo who was in charge of the imperial court, felt that the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard Hu Ziyang was a great threat.
In the past, if Liu Yan was on the front line to restrain Hu Ziyang, Yan Jing would not be worried.
But now Hu Ziyang controls the army on the front line of Hexi Province, and although he is powerful in the court, he has no army in his hands after all.
So in order to further curb Hu Ziyang's power and prevent Hu Ziyang from threatening himself.
Facing Hu Ziyang's request to re-allocate food, fodder and armaments to supplement the front line, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing directly found a reason to refuse.
Because Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing felt that it was enough for the front-line army reserves to last five or six days of food and fodder.
If it is reserved for ten and a half months, once the generals on the front line have any rebellious heart, the court will fall into a very passive situation.
Yan Jing test?Through restraining the food and supplies of Hu Ziyang's troops on the front line, the neck of the owner Hu Ziyang was blocked, so that he did not dare to act rashly.
Although the Emperor Longjun had great trust in Hu Ziyang, he was quite helpless when he learned that there was no food in the imperial court. He just ordered Yan Jing and others to find a way as soon as possible to raise military food and transport it to the front line.
Hu Ziyang reported to the Far Eastern court, requesting to continue to allocate food and military equipment, and when he was rejected, he also yelled angrily at the court, blaming the court for the emergence of treacherous ministers.
Hu Ziyang wants to store more food in his own hands, and also wants to meet unexpected needs.
Because he has already seen that the Far Eastern court is already in turmoil, and the situation is not optimistic.
When he first started, he also led the army to fight north and south, trying to assist the Dragon King to rejuvenate the Far East Dynasty.
However, Hu Ziyang discovered to his dismay later that they had defeated the aristocratic family, they were going to fight the rebels, and now they were going to fight the Qinghe Army.
Hu Ziyang also became numb to the constant fighting and fighting, especially when he saw the soldiers on the front line fighting bloody battles, they couldn't even get enough to eat.
However, those important ministers of the imperial court were singing and dancing, and eating delicacies from mountains and seas. His confidence in assisting the emperor in revitalizing the Far Eastern court was constantly eroded.
Now Hu Ziyang has a large number of troops in his hands. With Liu Yan's death, no one can contain him anymore. This is a rare opportunity.
So Hu Ziyang wants to store more food in his hands, and wants to support himself, so that when the situation changes, he can at least protect himself.
But now Yan Jing, Prime Minister Zuo of the imperial court, has destroyed his plan, so he also hates Yan Jing, Prime Minister Zuo of the imperial court.
"Liu Yan's troops suffered a disastrous defeat, and the front-line forces were tense. We asked the imperial court to recruit troops to supplement the battle losses."
After the request to allocate more food, fodder and supplies was rejected, Hu Ziyang was unwilling to ask for additional troops.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing didn't want to force Hu Ziyang too hard. It was okay to block food, but it was okay to replenish soldiers.
Anyway, even if Hu Ziyang holds a heavy army, without food, he is still a castle in the sky.
Therefore, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing did not refuse this time. After seeing that everyone agreed unanimously, Emperor Longjun decided to dispatch more than 50,000 people from Qinghe Province, Beichuan Province, and Nanchuan Province to the local militia and provincial guards. Hexi front line to supplement the vacancy of Liu Yan's troops after the loss.
Of course, Prime Minister Zuo Yan Jing was not completely relieved of Hu Ziyang. When replenishing the front line this time, he also sent more than a dozen military supervisors.
These more than a dozen military supervisors will be assigned to the frontline armies to assist Hu Ziyang in supervising the battle, so as to avoid Liu Yan's refusal to obey orders from happening again.
Hu Ziyang knew that although these people were assisting him to supervise the battle in name, they were actually monitoring the armies and guarding against him.
Although Hu Ziyang knew it well, he also knew that it would be too small to despise him if he wanted to contain him with more than a dozen military supervisors.
No matter what the internal struggles of the Far Eastern court were, the Qinghe army had achieved its goal this time.
?Because the Qinghe Army ate up Liu Yan's troops on the front line, the imperial court had to draw troops from other places to make up for the gap.
As the imperial court in the distance deployed troops to the Hexi front line, the garrison forces in Beichuan Province and Nanchuan Province behind them were weakened to an extremely dangerous level.
