Chapter 96 Spring is getting warmer...

Jiangnan, Jiangzhou City.

As spring days get warmer, the ice and snow melt.

However, today, Jiangzhou City, which is as prosperous as the Dayang Imperial City in the Central Plains, does not show the bustling scene it should have.

Even the entire Jiangzhou area was under martial law after the New Year.

People were in a panic, not knowing what had happened to Jiangzhou.

But privately, rumors are still rife.

"…It is said that the Northern Liang King Xu Beichen led the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry to purge the emperor and has already attacked all the way into the Dayang Imperial City."

"Emperor Hongsheng died at the hands of the treacherous minister Cai Song, and even many of the princes were murdered by Cai Song..."

"Now, Princess Changyue can only take charge of the country temporarily, shouldering the heavy responsibility of ruling the country as a woman!"

In the alleys of the city, there were groups of people talking in low voices.

As they talked, they looked around vigilantly from time to time.

These rumors have a huge impact on the people in Jiangzhou!
In just one cold winter, the owner of Dayang changed?
Who dares to believe this?

However, they were able to detect some clues.

"But didn't they say that Prime Minister Cai Song came to our Jiangzhou area a few years ago?"

"Besides, we haven't seen any notice from the court..."

Based on these details, some people can infer certain things.

It seems that many things can be connected.

The Northern Liang cavalry broke through the Dayang Imperial City.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Cai Song fled to Jiangzhou City after killing Emperor Hongsheng and many princes, plotting a comeback!
Moreover, the court's news was blocked, making it difficult for the people of Jiangzhou to know the specific situation...

This seems to be... connected!

……

Jiangzhou government office.

Cai Song sat at the desk, flipping through the files in his hands, his brows furrowed.

The current situation is definitely not a good thing for him!
Xu Beichen has long been a big concern of his!

At this moment, a figure appeared in the room like a ghost.

"Prime Minister Cai, the ice and snow north of Jiangzhou are about to melt."

"Besides, I have brought you good news and bad news."

The person who came was the second best in the world, Xubu Youhe.

Cai Song raised his head and glanced at Xubu Youhe.

There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

At this moment, Xubu Youhe is still keeping it a secret!
"what news?"

Cai Song knew very well that once the ice and snow melted, they would have to face an attack from the Northern Liang cavalry.

Xu Beichen's wolfish ambitions were far greater than he had expected!

Xubu Youhe smiled indifferently and said, "Then I will tell you the good news first..."

"The Prime Minister has already made preparations in Beimang and can gather the army at any time. Once the ice and snow melt, they can march south."

"It's just that the snow in the north melts more slowly!"

Regarding these words.

There was not much joy on Cai Song's face.

He was very clear about his next situation.

The time and speed of ice and snow melting in the south is naturally faster than that in the north!
Even north of Jinzhou City, it should still be snowing now.

But once the ice and snow melt.

The Beiliang cavalry will be the first to march towards Jiangzhou!

Even if the Northern Mang army wanted to move south, they had to wait until the ice and snow melted.

The time difference in between is undoubtedly fatal to him!

"Does Bei Mang intend to let me hold on for this period of time?"

Cai Song immediately asked in a deep voice.

What can he use to stop the Beiliang cavalry?

The territory of Jiangzhou has only 50,000 troops!

These were the old subordinates he had prepared in the court. If they really faced the Northern Liang cavalry, how many days could they hold them off?
But in the face of Cai Song's questioning, Xubu Youhe just smiled indifferently.

"If we can't defeat him, won't Prime Minister Cai continue to flee?"

"Besides, isn't the Pingxi Army still in the western border of Dayang?"

"No matter what Chen Xiongtu thinks, he should be very clear..."

"Once your father-in-law dies in the conquest of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, then the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry will immediately pacify the western border!"

My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!

Even if Chen Xiongtu did not take into account the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law, he should understand the situation he would face in the future.

Cai Song frowned and didn't say anything more.

Instead, he waved at Xubu Youhe again: "Another piece of news."

The good news just now was not good for him!

The smile on Xubu Youhe's face became more playful.

"As for the bad news..."

"It was our Queen Mother Beimang who released the news."

"It is said that you, Prime Minister Cai, colluded with our Beimang Prime Minister and betrayed the country, which caused chaos in Dayang..."

what? !

As soon as he heard this, Cai Song's face suddenly changed and turned pale in an instant.

He glared at Xubu Youhe and shouted, "What do you mean, Beimang?"

Although it is true that he colluded with the Prime Minister of Beimang.

But how can this matter be made public?
Isn't this equivalent to directly confirming the rumors that he is colluding with Beimang?
It is even more of an obstacle to his next plan!
Xubu Youhe ignored Cai Song and spread his hands.

"I really don't understand what the Queen Mother did."

"However, I would like to remind Prime Minister Cai..."

"It's time to support the young emperor to ascend the throne!"

Support the young emperor to ascend the throne...

Cai Song forced himself to calm down. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to deal with the current situation!

He did not kill all the princes of Emperor Hongsheng before, and naturally he had made his own preparations.

One prince was left behind to attack Xu Beichen in the name of revenge for his father!
And after ascending the throne, this prince will also inherit the orthodox lineage of Dayang!
Think for a long time.

Cai Song gave Xubu Youhe another cold look.

"Send someone to inform your Northern Mang Prime Minister."

"If he still wants to rule the Central Plains, he must fight against the Queen Mother of Beimang!"

The factional struggle in Beimang has already had a great impact on him!

……

Dayang Imperial City.

Luming Academy.

The academy is located on the mountains west of the imperial city.

today.

Under the guidance of Li Sisheng, Xu Beichen slowly climbed the mountain and came to the outside of Luming Academy.

At this time, a group of scholars had already gathered outside Luming Academy.

With the arrival of Xu Beichen.

These scholars immediately saluted in unison, although they followed the etiquette of scholars and did not kneel down.

But most people's faces were filled with lingering panic!

In the past, there were many grievances between Luming Academy and the Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

Now that the King of Beiliang has come to Luming Academy in person, no one knows whether he is here to settle the account!
only.

Xu Beichen glanced at these scholars one by one, but there was no murderous intent in his expression.

The land immortals that the Confucians had previously sent to deal with him had all died under the iron hooves of the Northern Liang cavalry.

As for these scholars, he did not want to kill them all.

And the reason he came to Luming Academy this time was actually to prepare for ascending the throne and establishing a new dynasty in the future!
