All Hail Cousin Brother

Yin Huaixi calculated the best opportunity and perfectly avoided the possibility of rushing to Jingzhao's aid, without missing a beat.

It's scary to think about it.

Yin Huaixi had been planning this war for three years.

He has always been deceitful, often taking one step and counting ten steps. Since he has calculated the rebellion of King Liang, he will definitely be able to calculate all the problems he will face after King Liang's rebellion.

From the day he named Wu Muding the Northern King and guarded the northern territory, he had already begun to make plans.

In the past three years, the Di people have caused trouble in the north due to lack of supplies.

He accompanied the Di people in a small fight. Every time the Di people suffered losses in the north, they always tasted some sweetness. Therefore, the Di people were like hungry dogs that saw bones and began to frequently harass the north. .

The Di people frequently harassed the northern border. The imperial court was wary of the Di people and worried that the history of King Zhou Li would repeat itself. Therefore, in the past three years, the imperial court's resources were gradually tilted toward the northern border.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, there have been two major wars along the border.

Both sides suffered heavy losses.

But compared to the vast territory of the Zhou Dynasty, the Di people suffered greater losses.

Di people need to recuperate more than Dazhou.

Beidi was teased by Yin Huaixi like a dog for three years. Because he tasted the sweetness, he would naturally not take any small loss seriously.

As long as they are not forced into a desperate situation, no one is willing to go to war without absolute certainty.

But once Yin Huaixi is no longer willing to give the Di people a taste of the sweetness, the Di people are forced into a desperate situation, and they will inevitably raise troops regardless of the consequences.

The scale of the battle and the number of participants often determine the length of the battle.

As the northern front line lengthened, Yin Huai's seal could give the vassal king the illusion that the war in the north was tense.

By then, the King of Liang had reached Jingzhao, and King Wu Muding of the North had no skills and could not rush to help Jingzhao. This was undoubtedly the best time for the vassal king to raise the banner of crusade.

After killing the King of Liang and becoming the emperor himself, the world will be decided by then, and he can still defeat him. Because Wu Mu Ding Bei Wang refused to send troops to help Jingzhao, he raised an army to investigate the crime. In the name of the emperor, he issued an order to let Wu Mu Ding Bei King Surrender.

Once King Wu Muding refused, he could justifiably send troops to attack.

The Northern Territory has just experienced a big war and is not strong enough to be afraid.

Yin Huaixi calculated the human nature of people so vividly that when the Liang King conspired to rebel and Beidi invaded in a large scale, other vassal kings would not be able to help but send troops to attack first.

Yu Youyao stopped talking.

Yin Huaixi knew her so well that he could guess what she was thinking with just one look: "The clan is full of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If the Liang army is defeated before the King of Liang reaches the capital, he will be defeated." Anyone with a hint of intelligence will know that he has to pack his bags and run for his life to avoid disaster. If he really can’t escape, he will lose his life.”

Once the King of Liang entered Jingzhao, he would first attack the Tian family clan and use the blood of the Yin family to pay tribute to the heroes of the soldiers who died in this battle.

But so what? !

Yin Huaixi added: "I have protected thousands of homes in the Zhou Dynasty, but I am the only one who has no home."

Yu Youyao's breath stagnated: "I understand."

Yin Huaixi hated the Yin royal family more than anyone else. Although the blood of the Yin royal family flowed in his body, after the death of his family, he had been completely separated from the so-called clan family.

There were countless people in the clan who were connected to him by blood, but those people had basically severed ties with the father and son after King Zhou Li became a vassal.

When King Li of Zhou Dynasty was constrained by the gentry and was unable to move forward in the northern border, he also asked for help from relatives in the clan with whom he had a good relationship.

But most of those people avoid them like snakes and scorpions.

Even adding insult to injury.

When King Zhou Li was persecuted on unfounded charges, there were veterans like Mr. Lu Ge who stood up to speak for him.

But the family members who were connected to him by blood stayed away from each other for fear of being implicated. There were also many people who stepped on them in order to please the emperor.

They were also responsible for the tragic death of King Zhou Li.

The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than three hundred years. From the beginning of Emperor Gaozu, the clan has been passed down for countless generations. Each generation has branched and branched. There are only two or three direct lineages that are truly close to Yin Huaixi's bloodline. , the rest of the people also bear the name of the clan.

Yin Huaixi never paid attention to them.

Inside the room, it was a little too quiet.

Yin Huaixi said while drinking mutton soup: "Every autumn and winter in Xiangping City, the climate is particularly bitter and cold. Many locals who are born and raised here cannot stand these days. I'll take you to Liancheng. I'm in the best part of Liancheng. I bought a hot spring villa and after renovating it, it is ready for people to live in."

Yu Youyao couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously said: "I won't leave..."

"Be obedient." Yin Huaixi put down the soup bowl: "According to the spies' reports, Beidi seems to have become more settled in recent days. The number of disturbances in the northern border has been decreasing. This is probably a precursor to Beidi's troop deployment. In a few days, I will leave for Jinzhou to make arrangements to meet the enemy. By then I will no longer be able to take care of Xiangping, which is adjacent to Jinzhou..."

Yu Youyao didn't say anything, but he also understood that if Jinzhou was defeated, Beidi would attack Xiangping.

Jinzhou is a fortress controlling North China and Liaodong, guarding the Western Liaoning Corridor, and connecting Beijing and Zhaozhou with the Liaodong Plain.

Entering North China from Liaodong must pass through Jinzhou, which is the only place Beidi must pass to enter the Central Plains.

If Jinzhou falls, the northern defense line will be completely defeated, and Shanhaiguan will become the last barrier for Beijing and Tianjin. If the gate of Shanhaiguan is opened, it can invade North China and harass it.

Once Beidi enters North China, it will be like entering an uninhabited country, and there will be no disadvantages.

Therefore, Jinzhou is the "throat of Shanhaiguan", and Shanhaiguan is the "guarantee of the capital". The two complement each other and form the strongest defense in the north.

At that time, Beidi mobilized a large number of troops and even broke through Jinzhou's defense line. At the critical moment, it was Yin Huaixi who defeated Harmon who went to Jinzhou to support him at Xiaoyu Pass. Harmon's three thousand elite cavalry were defeated and fled, fighting for King Zhou Li. It's a precious opportunity to retake Jinzhou's defense line.

Jinzhou's defense line is too important. If Jinzhou is not broken, most of the battle will be won. The famous and arrogant Nurhachi in history died on Jinzhou's defense line.

Precisely because of this, Youjun recaptured the Jinzhou defense line and re-deployed the Jinzhou defense line, thus laying the foundation for victory in the northern border.

It is also said that Marquis Weining, who rushed to the rescue later, stole the results of Youzhou's battle.

Seeing that she lowered her head and said nothing, Yin Huaixi explained: "Back then, when my father first came to the northern border, the Di people got the news and deliberately raised troops to invade, taking the opportunity to challenge the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the northern border had insufficient troops, and Beidi secretly I sent a team of elite soldiers to sneak into Xiangping City silently and fought all the way to Prince You's Mansion. I'm a little worried about letting you stay alone in Xiangping..."
