Mengshezhezhao? Send troops?
When Guer heard these two words, his eyes rolled and he suddenly looked up.
She opened her mouth and wanted to speak. But when she reached her mouth, she swallowed it back, and then lowered her head.
How can I hide Guer's actions from Wu Zetian?
She reached out and signaled Shangguan Wan'er not to speak for now, and said in a deep voice: "Go'er, let's flat."
"Thank you grandma!"
Wu Zetian asked Guer to flatten her body, which means that she would no longer pursue Guer's crime of resisting the order.
She said, "Guo'er, you seem to have something to say just now?"
"Wuer doesn't know whether to say it or not."
"It's a long story, there are no outsiders here, so there's nothing to say, but it's okay to say it."
"When Gu'er was in Jiannan Road before, he heard Brother Yizi talk about the Mengshezhao King Mengluosheng."
"Oh? What did Qingzhi say?"
"Brother Yizi said that King Mengshezhao was able to tolerate what others could not tolerate. He was as good as King Goujian of Yue, so he should not be underestimated. Back then, the court asked him to go to Luoyang, but he gave up the throne without saying a word and came alone, which was definitely not something that an idle person could do."
Wu Zetian was stunned and then showed a thoughtful expression.
At the beginning, she was the one who summoned Mengluosheng, and she was the one who let Mengluosheng go.
But she never thought deeply. Now, after hearing what Guer said, and after thinking about it carefully, Meng Luosheng is indeed not an ordinary person.
"Brother Yizi also said that Meng Luosheng has now used the name of the court to carry out the conquest of the Six Divines.
At first glance, it seems to be a good thing. After all, Mengshezhao can indeed save the court from many troubles.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not very good.
It is true that Mengshezhao charged forward, but he also took this opportunity to annex and occupy a large area of ​​Liuzhao's land and population, and his power gradually became stronger. Mengluosheng was an ambitious person. On the surface, he joined the court, but in fact, he used the name of the court to strengthen his own strength. As far as Guer knew, Mengshezhao was now among Liuzhao, and he could be called the first...
Once he has the power to fight against the court, wouldn’t he raise a tiger to be a disaster?
Brother Yizi said that the unified Six Divines are of no benefit to the court.
It is better to let it divide and make it uneasy within. Then the court will use both soft and hard methods to incorporate Liuzhao into the rule of the court through means such as appeasement, suppression, encirclement, and conquest. Brother Yizi also said that Liuzhao can only have one master, that is Your Majesty."
Guer is actually not very clear about these military affairs.
But Yang Shouwen told her this, and after she came back, she also got some guidance from Chen Zi'ang, who had changed his name, so she could tell Wu Zetian that Zi Chou Yin and Mao in front of Wu Zetian. What she said was not very detailed, but it was enough for Wu Zetian. For all the time, the empire had always been known as the coming of the court. As long as they were willing to focus on the court, the court would happily agree and then no longer interfere.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a kind of courage.
But similarly, the court's weak control over these vassal states also caused repeated incidents in these vassal states.
The Six Divines do not need a king, they only need one master, and that is Your Majesty!
This sentence made Wu Zetian very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a faint smile.
"This time Guer traveled to Jiannan, it seems that he has gained a lot."
After saying that, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, what do you think?"
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at You're quite appreciatively and bowed, "Your Majesty, I think what the Taoist priest said is very true."
She paused for a moment and continued, "We are not very clear whether the Yuexizhao Wang Bochong colluded with the Annan people, and there was no news before. It would be too rash to allow him to conquer Yuexizhao with just one sentence of Meng Luosheng.
Besides, Qingzhi's statement makes sense. Mengshezhao has repeatedly carried out conquests and conquered over the years through the name of the court, but in fact it has strengthened himself and is of no benefit to the court. This time, let alone whether Bo Chong colluded with the rebellion, at least Bo Chong has always surrendered to the court and never disobeyed His Majesty's will. He rashly conquered the conquest, which may lose people's hearts."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean... Jinghui is still serving as the Southwest Dianke. The Six Dianzhao affairs are also his own affairs.
Why should Your Majesty issue an order to order Jinghui to verify this? If Bo Chong really colludes with the rebellion, there is no need to let Mengshezhi send troops.
Zhang Zhitai was the only one who had obtained the position of Jiannan Road, so he asked him to send troops to conquer him, and he could also take the opportunity to establish his authority in Jiannan Road... As for Meng Luosheng, I thought he should not be indulged, and it would be best to suppress him so as not to raise a tiger."
After hearing this, Wu Zetian couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"What Wan'er said is very consistent with my wishes.
Let's do this, let you handle this matter. Send someone to know Jinghui and Zhang Zhitai to find out, and ask them to verify Bo Chong while preparing, and beware of Meng Luosheng's abnormal movements. Once there is evidence, they can discuss and deal with it at their discretion."
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed and agreed and prepared to retreat.
Guer stood in the hall, looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and then looked at Wu Zetian, revealing a hint of hesitation.
How could she hide her little thoughts from Wu Zetian?
Looking at her slightly pale face because of entanglement, Wu Zetian sighed secretly.
"Wan'er!"
"I'm here."
"You will take me to the verbal order later and go to Luoyang Prison and tell Zhang Danian to let him come back.
After the rebellious king Wu Yanji of Wei, he spoke of rebellious words and should have been executed. Thinking that he was young and ignorant, he could be punished for death, but he could not forgive him for living. He was dismissed as the King of Wei and demoted to a commoner and would never be hired. The throne of King of Wei was inherited by Wu Yanji's younger brother Wu Yanyi..."
Wu Zetian didn't like Wu Yanji at first, so he took this opportunity to deprive him of the position of King of Wei, which was also a warning.
She closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Crown Prince Li Chongrun, virtue is a loss, and it is difficult to be of great use.
He dismissed the title of Prince Li Chongrun, and went to the secluded residence in Zhuolong Garden on the same day. He was not allowed to leave without my consent, otherwise he would be killed without any regard for killing."
"I, follow the order."
Shangguan Wan'er took the order and retreated, but left Bu'er alone in the hall, at a loss.
"Guo'er, I ordered you to practice Taoism in Cuiyun Peak, but you left without authorization. I deserve a heavy responsibility.
But thinking that you are unintentional, I forgive you this time...why, do you want to stay here?"
When Bu'er heard this, he still didn't understand what Wu Zetian meant, and hurriedly said, "Voer deserves to die, Bu'er will go back now."
"Go, after you go back, copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times and then send it to the palace."
"Bo'er, follow the order."
Li Guer suddenly had a bitter face and bowed to retreat.
Wu Zetian's mood seemed to improve a lot.
When she walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, she suddenly felt that the wind seemed to be no longer so cold, and the breath of spring seemed to have arrived...
On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chang'an, outside Jiaozhou City, flags were waving.
The ancient Jiaozhi City Wall has traces of the war. The blood on the city wall has not dried up, and it has a dark red color under the sun.
Yang Shouwen stood outside the city gate, holding his head up and his chest out.
There was still a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows, but it could be seen that he was in good spirits.
Huan Yanfan strode to Yang Shouwen and bowed.
"Yang Mingwei, who has long admired Daming, will finally meet today."
Mingwei refers to the scattered ranks of General Yang Shouwenmingwei.
Yang Shouwen is much smaller than Huan Yanfan. In terms of seniority, Huan Yanfan and Yang Chenglie are of the same generation, so it is impossible to call him Yang Jun.
But just call him by his name?
It doesn't seem to be suitable either.
Yang Shouwen was appointed by the imperial court and was the governor of the western battle situation in Lingnan Road.
Although Huan Yanfan was also commanding the battle, he did not have the appointment of the court.
So in terms of position, Huan Yanfan seems to be a bit incorrect and has a bad reputation... In this case, it is appropriate to call him "Yang Mingwei".
Yang Shouwen hurriedly said, "If Duke Huan doesn't come again, I will almost be unable to resist it!"
After entering Lingnan Road, he first destroyed the Heman Man and then lifted the siege of Gantangzhou.
However, in terms of the overall situation, the rebels had the upper hand. This time, Gan Feng rebelled was indeed a huge momentum. He gathered almost half of the natives under the Annan Protectorate and planned for many years. This time, he killed Qulan and then captured the city and plundered the land. If Huan Yanfan had not tried his best to resist, perhaps most of the Lingnan Road would have been occupied by the rebels.
Even so, the government army was still seriously injured.
If the conquest of one city and one land is over, God knows how long it will last?
At this time, Meng Huan, who had already been renamed Zhu Huan, made a suggestion: Although the rebels were very powerful, they did not properly integrate the tribes because of the hasty assembly. Alang could lead an elite team, light chariots and rush to Jiaozhi.
As long as the Gan Meng is killed, the rebels' military attack will naturally weaken.
This plan is very dangerous.
But Yang Shouwen must admit that if he succeeds, he can turn the world around.
He didn't want to stay in Lingnan Road for too long, so after thinking twice, he decided to adopt Zhu Huan's strategy and behead him.
After killing Gan Meng and occupying Jiaozhi County, it does not mean that it will win a great victory.
Although Gan Meng was dead, Gan Meng's younger brother, Gan Yong, who was known as the number one warrior in Annan, immediately replaced Gan Meng's position and led his troops to counterattack wildly, trying to regain Jiaozhi. Yang Shouwen led his troops to hold on in Jiaozhi for 20 days, and his troops were killed and injured.
Finally, he waited for reinforcements...
Gan Yong is worthy of the title of the number one warrior in Annan, but that's all.
In terms of reputation, wisdom, and marching and fighting, he was not as strong as Gan Yong. After Wang Yuangui and Huan Yanfan defeated the rebels one after another and recovered the lost territory, Gan Yong had no intention of continuing to siege Jiaozhi, led his troops south and retreated to Changyang Pass...
"If Gan Yong holds on for another two days, I will definitely die."
Walking up to the city tower of Jiaozhi County, you can see traces left after the war everywhere.
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to look at Huan Yanfan and said, "The rebels have retreated now, but the war has not yet ended.
Gan Yong occupied the southern part of Jiaozhou, and has always been a confidant.
Duke Huan should pursue the enemy with his remaining courage, and not seek fame and learning from the overlord. He should not keep his courage, and he should not keep his rebels... If he does not take this opportunity to completely wipe out it, he will start another battle in the future. So I think that this time, he should be killed."
Huan Yanfan couldn't help but stroking his hands and cheering, "It is better to chase the enemy with the remaining courage, and not to seek fame and learn from the overlords."
