"Taiyuan Gong, General Li, has ordered that the Jingzhou arsenal has been stolen. Your officers and soldiers are passing through Mianbei and south. Quickly abandon your weapons and leave the city. My sergeants will go in and search for the stolen goods! If there is any resistance, you will be punished as thieves!"
Outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army lined up at the gap in the city wall. They did not rush into the city immediately, but shouted loudly into the city.
The defenders in the city were already nervous after being attacked at night, and the sudden collapse of the city wall made them panic even more. When they heard the shouting, they suddenly felt like crying without tears.
The emotional turmoil for a long time was caused by friendly forces, not an enemy attack. But are you, the Jingzhou Army, so arrogant? Even if it is to check for stolen goods, why don’t you give notice in advance? A sudden disturbance comes at night, and the city wall collapses.
Simply arrogant!
Although he was filled with resentment, the previous mood of overruling his heart and wanting to fight to the death was gone. Although the Jingzhou army was rude, it was still a dispute and misunderstanding between the armies of the Western Wei Dynasty. Naturally, they could not risk their lives.
, it will be good to clear up the misunderstanding after verification.
There were many people who had this kind of idea, and soon some people dropped their weapons and staffs and walked out of the city along the gap in the collapsed city wall amidst the threatening shouts of the Jingzhou army.
At this time, someone in the city shouted again: "Don't listen to their nonsense, and you are not allowed to leave the city! Lord Changshan of the Zhu Kingdom is in the city. Even though General Li is here in person, he still needs to pay homage..."
Wearing armor and fully armed, Li Tai walked into the firelight from the rear troops, raised his face armor to let the people in the city see him clearly, and then returned to the troops, and then asked people to shout: "Jingzhou has its own
According to the law, even Lord Chang Shan cannot mess with our laws! After beating the drums and beating the drums three times, if there are still people staying in the city, they will be killed without mercy!"
The exciting war drums sounded again, each blow hitting the heartstrings of the soldiers in the city like a heavy punch. At this time, no one in the city dared to take any chances anymore. With the sound of the drums, more and more people abandoned their weapons and left the city.
, and then he was led by Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers to line up elsewhere to wait for disposal.
When the second drumming sounded, Yu Jin's father and son and their important members also appeared in the field of vision. Yu Jin's face was ashen and he was tightly surrounded by everyone. His son Yu Yi walked in the front and shouted loudly.
: "This group of people came here on the king's order. Mr. Taiyuan must not make a mistake and rely on the crowd to reject the king's order!"
However, no one in the formation outside the city responded to his call, only the drum beat was still exciting and powerful. They and their party stayed in a stalemate in the city for a while, and when the drumming was almost over, Yu Jin waved his hand and left the city dejectedly.
After this group of people left the city, they were swarmed by the Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. They dragged and pushed everyone and separated them. As Yu Jin, who had the highest status, naturally received the most attention.
, more than a dozen Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers surrounded him almost face to face.
It was not until the three rounds of drums were settled that hundreds of heavily armored soldiers entered the city. After a thorough inspection of the city garrison and after confirming that there were no remaining soldiers in the city, Li Tai then ordered his troops to enter the city and garrison them. As for the captured Yu
The important personnel who were waiting for us were naturally escorted into the city as well.
Next, Li Tai first asked people to repair the city's defenses, and then asked the navy in the Han River channel to station on the shore. Only then did he have time to review the gains of the raid.
More than 3,000 soldiers followed Yu Jin and garrisoned the city. They all surrendered and there were no serious casualties on either side.
Li Tai was relatively satisfied with this. Returning to seize power was only the first step in his plan. Next, he would continue to attack Jiangling. Even if the soldiers brought by Yu Jin were not needed to attack the fortress, if they had a blood feud with each other, what would happen to them?
Morale is also a big blow, and more energy must be allocated to deal with these friendly prisoners.
It was already mid-night. Although the confrontation here was not long, the noise and battles caused were considerable. Presumably, the people and horses in the other nearby passes were also aware of it, but they wanted to have any actual effect.
The reinforcement operation must also be carried out after dawn.
So he asked Yu Jin to come in, and stood on the porch in front of the hall, waiting for his generals to bring Yu Jin here. At this time, Yu Jin's sword, seal, and other items had been confiscated, and his arms were still tied behind his back.
With.
When Li Tai saw this, he stepped forward and personally untied Yu Jin. Then he walked up to the person in front of him and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chang Shan, I'm rude. I have to do this as a last resort. It's difficult to take everything into account. If there is any offense,
, please forgive me."
Yu Jin was in a very bad mood when he was met with such a counterattack. After hearing this, he just said in a stiff tone: "Everyone knows what happened today. Taiyuan's public skills are admirable. I am incompetent. Since I am controlled by others, I will die with a clear conscience."
"
After Li Tai heard this, he smiled slightly, took Yu Jin's arm and pulled him into the hall, and said: "The life and death of Duke Changshan is a small matter, but why should the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him from the south deserve it? Since the Duke was ordered to
Come, naturally you should have concerns about success or failure in your heart. Now that your plan has failed, you should help each other to deal with the aftermath, so that you can live up to your duty as an important minister of the country and dominate the government."
After Yu Jin heard this, he couldn't help laughing at himself. Hearing this, even though he was fucked, he still had to help Li Boshan clean up the mess?
"The Duke of Taiyuan praised me so much that I am really ashamed of myself. I am singing a triumphant song now, but I am a prisoner in the ranks. I will judge the superior and the inferior. The Duke is far-sighted and calmly wins, so why bother asking Yu Blind?"
Yu Jin's tone was still stiff, but in the end he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked a question that made him tangled up: "I am confused, and I beg the Duke of Taiyuan to give me some advice. There are many garrisoned buildings near Shicheng, how can I be sure?
Will I settle here? If I choose another city, even if I bring in the crowd, it will be difficult to overcome it. With such a confrontation between the inside and outside, Shicheng is already a step away from Jiangling. You and I are fighting here while the Liang people sit back and take advantage of the situation.
Li, this is really not a wise man’s plan! Or maybe the Duke of Taiyuan has an unruly agreement with Liang Guo?”
Yu Jin was stumbled hard and confused. If other situations were foreshadowed or beyond his control, then the sudden collapse of the city wall was really beyond his understanding and unacceptable.
Even if he didn't expect that Li Tai would ambush him between the borders of the two countries, with this city guarded, he would still have no problem holding on until dawn. When the armies gather here, the outcome is still unclear!
After Li Tai heard this, he laughed again and said: "The Lord of Liang is stupid and ignorant, jealous of talents and talents. He can't even tolerate and trust his generals, so how can he conspire with me, a border general of the enemy country? What's more, although I am not talented, I am not talented either.
Dumb, how could you abandon this and go to a country that is about to die!
As for the collapse of the city wall, Chang Shangong does not need to think too deeply about it. This is not a clever strategy. All the garrison buildings near Shicheng have such arrangements. As long as Chang Shangong stops here, it will inevitably happen no matter which city he enters.
Such an outcome.”
"This, this...is actually like this?"
Yu Jin also worried to himself that maybe he was unlucky and happened to choose a city garrison that had been tampered with by Li Boshan, so he ended up like this. But he didn't expect the answer to be like this, and he was stunned for a while.
But soon he frowned again and said: "The location of Shicheng is already the gate of the country. The Duke of Taiyuan is deliberately trying to trap me. Aren't he worried about the arrival of the Liang army? It is difficult to defend these ruined cities. If I don't arrive but the thieves come, what will happen to the Duke of Taiyuan?"
Foolishness or wisdom?”
"Thanks to my great honor, I sit in the southeast. I have done a few things and have a small reputation. In recent years, I have not attacked anyone. People are happy about it. Those who dare to attack have disappeared for a long time. If I hadn't stayed away from outside, Chang Shangong and others would be safe.
As for that?"
After Li Tai heard this, he sneered again and said that attracting the Guanzhong army to the south was a very important part of his plan, or in other words, it was the main body of his plan.
One thing is that Guanzhong has been run by the Bafu headed by Yu Wentai for many years. Even if Yuwentai dies, with his current momentum, it will be extremely difficult to shake the majesty of the Bafu in Guanzhong. Only by drawing the main force of the Bafu out of Guanzhong can he have a chance to win.
Second, as successive envoys sent 60,000 troops southward from Wuguan, although Guanzhong still has a large number of troops, they need to stay in place and maintain river defenses. It has been difficult to raise considerable mobile forces to continue to increase southward.
soldiers.
In other words, no matter how much Li Tai messes around in Mianbei, Yu Wentai in Guanzhong can only watch, and he no longer has enough power to interfere, unless he doesn't even want his old nest in Guanzhong.
Li Tai dared to introduce the soldiers into his lair because he had something that could make the powerful soldiers and generals in Guanzhong use rat weapons. But if Northern Qi invaded Guanzhong, it would be like a mouse falling into a rice vat, even if it couldn't be eaten.
I'll give you a hard time too.
The army of Sanzefu soldiers entered Jingzhou, and Jingzhou is in an ownerless state, which is bound to bring a certain impact and disruption to the people's livelihood under Jingzhou. Even if they are restrained near Rangcheng, where their wealth and assets are concentrated,
, but harassment in other places is inevitable, and this is what Li Tai needs.
Because in the next period of time, the public sentiment under the entire Jingzhou General Manager's Office will be in a very tense and sensitive state.
On the one hand, the quarrel or even breakup between the Jingzhou Military Government and the Chinese and Foreign Governments will inevitably lead to a tense confrontation with each other, which will inevitably have a certain negative impact on the people's livelihood under Jingzhou's rule, and the environment will no longer be as comfortable as before.
Jingzhou has been recuperating for several years, all industries are flourishing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is certainly due to the efforts of the Jingzhou military government to establish governance, and it is also indispensable for the people in the governance to work hard to make a living.
But once this situation no longer exists, the people will inevitably be incited by people with ulterior motives, and will think that it is all because of Li Tai's own ambitions and his brazen resistance to the Chinese and foreign governments that Jingzhou's good days have come to an end. This will give
Jingzhou laid hidden personnel risks, and many separatist forces were defeated because of such factors.
At the same time, with the capture of Jiangling, many Nanliang people will also flow into the Jingzhou General Administration to live under the rule. These people will inevitably have a feeling of cherishing the memory of their homeland, even if they live under the rule of this homeland.
It's not great, but there is always a sweetness among the nine points of bitterness that people will never forget. Once life under the rule of the Jingzhou Governor's Office is unsatisfactory, this frustration will be amplified and turned into hostility, and will continue to cause chaos.
It is difficult to eliminate various hidden dangers in public sentiment in a short period of time. Once a high-intensity confrontation turns into an actual military conflict, the dissatisfaction among the people will be amplified, making Jingzhou's internal governance even more uneasy.
So Li Tai simply took the initiative to go to Huainan to induce the Bafu to send troops, so that the people under Jingzhou's rule could feel what the living conditions in Jingzhou were like without his control, and let these people understand with facts that General Li
They chose this path not just for their own ambitions, but also to defend their current lives and everything they have.
At this point, General Li's demands and interests are highly consistent with those of the people under the rule of the General Manager of Jingzhou. Only General Li is their best and most suitable choice!
Yu Jin didn't know that in Li Tai's eyes, he was the captain of the troop transport brigade, a powerful tool man, and a small helper in the united front. However, when he heard Li Tai's confident and slightly arrogant answer, he felt
He couldn't help but fell silent.
Li Tai looked at Yu Jin who was silent and said: "I know that in the eyes of Duke Chang Shan, I am probably a troubled minister of the country and a traitor to the country. But when the Duke came in without telling me and took over the affairs of our state, I was still doing it for him.
When the country opened its borders and showed its power in Huainan, even on the way back, they first captured Yingzhou of Liang State and blocked the river road before coming to Shicheng to take care of the rest.
Today, my fleet and cavalry are strong, and Jiangling has become a turtle in a urn, just waiting to die. Even if Chang Shangong does not want to be friendly to me, he still encourages all the people and horses to fight with me. I have the advantage of the land, and I can defeat all the armies.
Liang was destroyed. But tens of thousands of young men from Guanzhong will be buried between Jingxiang and Xiang from now on. The elders of Guanxi may hate me to the core, but they will hardly be able to retaliate. And if Chang Shangong stirs up trouble first and fails to do so, he will surely fail.
If the body dies, the clan will be destroyed!"
The reason why Li Tai chose to return along the river was to join forces with Xiakou and other groups to besiege Yingzhou City on the south bank. They used various means to conquer Yingzhou City in just two days and capture the Yingzhou governor alive.
Lu Fahe.
When Yang Zhong, who was sent by Yu Jin to block the river, arrived at Lushan, Li Taisheng's division was returning north. Yang Zhong saw that Li Tai, who was supposed to be trapped in Hefei, actually appeared here, and the Jingzhou Army, which was rumored to be heading east,
There were tens of thousands of people here, so I naturally understood.
So without Li Tai's careful persuasion, Yang Zhong naturally switched sides. After all, he couldn't fight against him, and Li Tai's blockade of Jiang Dao was more thorough than he imagined.
After hearing what Li Tai said, Yu Jin's eyes dimmed a bit. After pondering for a moment, he said again: "Mr. Taiyuan's personnel planning is very deep. Many of the people coming from the south must have your inside. Even if I don't cooperate, you
There is no need to kill all the troops and they can recover calmly. The reason why I have to come forward to cooperate is just to find an excuse for the masses to shirk the blame. The sins of all parties will be blamed on me."
Li Tai laughed dryly after hearing this. It would be pointless to say it so clearly. If you, the Zhuguo, don't bear such a big pot, who else will be crushed to death?
But he still said seriously: "Of all the people who come south wearing armor, who is not the loyal and brave of the country who is determined to open the border and show his prestige? Chang Shangong has already suffered a defeat and it is difficult to recover, and he has no way out after enduring the fall? I and the Duke are together
There is no selfless hatred, and it is not my intention to have a grudge now.
I am the Daxingtai of Guandong Road granted by the country, and all matters outside the country are under my supervision. Chang Shangong is ill and cannot take care of his affairs, but the important plan of the country cannot be abandoned. It is natural for me to return now and continue my work.
The general only accepted orders, and all debts owed will be made public."
Hearing that Li Tai had already thought up a plan to clean up the mess, Yu Jin couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his chest. Thinking about how Nan had been controlled by others since leaving Wuguan, and now he was directly captured, his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness and
Frustration.
After a while, he said solemnly: "Such a thorough personnel arrangement cannot be done in a hurry. When did Duke Taiyuan come up with this plan?"
"Probably it was when Mangshan was defeated and on its way to Tongguan."
When Li Tai heard this question, he couldn't help but feel a sense of change in his heart, so he answered casually. That was when he had just come to this world, and his mind was full of thoughts about how to survive in this troubled world.
But I didn't expect that one day we would actually achieve this situation.
"Dang, it's really like that..."
When Yu Jin heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in a trembling voice: "So when the Duke of Taiyuan came to Tongguan to join the Shuxingtai, he already had a follow-up plan?"
Li Tai was stunned when he saw Yu Jin's shocked look. I just lamented my youth and pretended to be cool. You don't really believe it, do you? No matter how far-sighted I am, I couldn't have thought of it all those years ago.
I'll dig a hole here to bury you! Could it be that this old man couldn't bear the blow and made himself depressed and stupid?
In any case, Yu Jin has no other choice at the moment. He has to shoulder the blame that Li Tai puts on his head. He must cooperate with Li Tai to take over the people one by one and incorporate them into the Daxingtai of Guandong Road.
within the schedule.
Originally, the Guandong Dao Daxingtai was just a perfunctory arrangement by Li Tai, but he could not prevent the person from having the ability to turn it into reality. And when Li Tai began to actually exercise the power of the Daxingtai, was it Guandong Dao or Shannan?
There is not much difference in Tao. Anyway, those who dare to raise questions will definitely have to squat with Yu Jin to recuperate in the near future.
There are too many clues in this plot, and there are many things that need to be considered. I didn’t write it very quickly. I’m sorry... If there are any unclear or overlooked parts, I will make a summary after the plot is completed...
