Li Fengjie is the son of Li Daliang, and Li Daliang is a famous general in Guanzhong with great achievements. So this time Li Fengjie secretly contacted the old people in Youtunwei, was it his own idea or Li Daliang's instruction?
Generally speaking, a son would not dare to take matters into his own hands when it comes to such important matters, but the families of aristocratic families are different. In order to fight for power, father and son turned against each other, and brother-in-law feuds were common. It was not impossible for Li Fengjie to do things behind Li Daliang's back.
But the meanings between the two are absolutely different.
If Li Daliang is involved, it most likely means that more Zhenguan ministers are secretly collaborating. Once launched, it will definitely be an earth-shattering mutiny that sweeps through the entire Guanzhong. The variables are too great, the power is too great, and the consequences are too great, even if the court has already planned it.
Preparation will inevitably lead to things being out of your control when the time comes.
However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
"Tell Gao Kan to carry out the previous order and closely monitor the people Li Fengjie comes into contact with. We must ensure that these people can be captured at any time and at any time, but do not alert the enemy to avoid ruining His Majesty's plan."
Compared with the stability of the imperial power, long-term peace and stability, and the complete breaking of the ridges of the Guanzhong clan, some risks are worth it.
Only by digging out the moths hidden within Chang'an can we smoothly carry out internal affairs and accumulate more foundation for this empire.
The prosperous age of Kaiyuan can be regarded as one of the truly prosperous times in Chinese history, but the hidden dangers hidden under the scenes of the prosperous age were enough to make the huge empire fall into the abyss of eternal destruction when flowers were blooming. To eliminate these hidden dangers one by one, both the military and the government
If everything is on the right track, the empire will surely prosper.
Even if it is still difficult to escape the cycle of rise and fall of the dynasty, it can still maintain some heritage, so as not to allow foreign invaders to invade the Yangtze River...
*****
The water is rolling. The water has dropped significantly compared with the previous few days and is clearer. The rolling water waves reflect the rising sun, turning into thousands of golden scales. The green grass on both sides of the bank spreads along the embankments and slopes.
, until it connects with the fields and soil in the distance, lush and green, retaining the last vitality of early autumn.
Yuchi Gong took off his armor and sat in the barracks on the river bank. He bared his left arm and let the army doctor treat an arrow sore. The small knife cut open the skin, and his muscles picked out the triangular arrow cluster. Blood gushed out.
Apply good medicine for scars and wrap a few rounds of gauze tightly to prevent the wound from bursting.
During the whole process, Yuchi Gong didn't frown because of the pain. He only cursed over and over in his mouth: "Mother! This old thief is not a son of a man and has betrayed his trust!"
"I was actually put in a position by that bastard. I'm so angry!"
"Cheng Yaojin, I and you are inseparable!"
Inside and outside the tent, all the subordinates were trembling and frightened.
It is said that Cheng Yaojin has the most violent temper, but in fact Cheng Yaojin is also the most protective of his shortcomings and will not punish his generals and soldiers too harshly, while Yuchi Gong is truly ruthless and will turn his back on others. Who dares to do so?
To touch his bad luck, he could be beaten with a whip or with a military stick, and beaten to death or maimed without blinking an eye...
After the lieutenant general of the army had finished treating the arrow wounds and retreated, Yuchi Gong took the warm tea offered by the soldiers with one hand and drained it in one gulp. Only then did his anger dissipate a little, and asked with a sullen face: "What are the casualties of the soldiers?"
Su Jia had also taken off his armor and stomach, and had several wounds all over his body. He was in a miserable state. Hearing this, he replied: "I just rounded up the number of people. Compared with the shortage of more than 3,700 people before the war, there are six more seriously injured."
More than a hundred, more than a thousand were slightly injured."
The war has just ended and the situation has not yet stabilized, so it is difficult to count the number of people who died in the battle. After all, some soldiers did die fighting hard, while some dispersed and fled. Some of them will continue to die after getting rid of the enemy's pursuit or finding a way.
They kept coming back, and some simply disappeared without a trace.
All in all, more than 3,700 troops were lost in this battle, and nearly 2,000 were temporarily incapacitated due to injuries. The more than 20,000 elite troops brought across the river by Yu Chigong lost nearly a quarter in one battle, leaving
Yuchi Gong was so heartbroken that he was twitching...
These are all old subordinates who have followed him in the north and south for many years. They are powerful and loyal. They should have become his subordinates on the feudal side and dedicated everything to the great cause of the Yuchi family. But now they are easily lost to these young men.
On the mausoleum.
The reason was that he, Yuchi Gong, underestimated the enemy and rushed in, and was severely beaten by the old thief Cheng Yaojin...
"Bang!" The more Yuchi Gong thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw the tea cup on the ground and broke it into pieces. The fragments flew out. He yelled angrily: "I and the dog thief are sworn in!"
Since a tacit understanding has been reached, it can be regarded as a kind of contract. Both parties take what they need to avoid a bloody battle. Who would have expected that Cheng Laogou is unethical and has obviously led his army to escape in panic. However, when he saw himself being stopped by Liang Jianfang, he actually killed him treacherously.
Made a comeback...
How could we have suffered such a defeat if we had not believed in Cheng Yaojin's character?
Regret is like a poisonous snake gnawing at Yuchi Gong's heart. If I had known this...
Su Jia secretly observed Yu Chigong's face from the side and saw that his expression changed and became angry. He was naturally worried. However, the situation was critical at this moment, so he had to give a warning.
With a dry cough and courage, Su Jia said cautiously: "Commander, please calm down. Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. If you lose, you will be defeated. At worst, you will be brave after knowing your shame. The old and new accounts will be settled together! But now the Jin King's army has passed the new one."
Feng, we are about to arrive at Baqiao. It is only a few dozen miles away from here and we will arrive in one day. I also ask the commander to report back and inform you of the situation at his discretion."
When Yuchi Gong heard this, his headache became more and more severe.
If the loss of troops and the loss of a major defeat seriously harmed one's own interests and greatly reduced the strength of the team that one relied on, then how to explain it to the King of Jin is a more serious problem.
Now that the King of Jin had given up on Tongguan, he led all his troops out in a desperate attempt to fight. It was quite unsuccessful, so he became bold and wanted to go directly to Chang'an City to leverage the situation in Guanzhong. As a result, he suffered a blow to the head.
The plan to dig out the water defense line almost failed, casting a haze over the entire plan.
If he hadn't successfully crossed the Ba River and established a foothold on the west bank, he might not even dare to meet the King of Jin at this moment...
But at this moment, he suffered a huge defeat, and Cheng Yaojin was so cunning and greedy. Who can guarantee that he would not launch an attack immediately after reorganizing his troops?
When the time comes, it will be you who will be the last to fight.
If he loses the beachhead on the west bank of the river and retreats to the east bank in embarrassment, then he can commit suicide in front of the King of Jin to apologize...
What feudalism and eternal inheritance are all just a cloud of smoke that will dissipate in a blink of an eye.
The first priority is to hold on to the position beneath our feet.
At the same time, he thought of Liang Jianfang, who was desperately blocking his progress, this old subordinate who was recommended by him and accepted his favor...
…
Liang Jianfang also returned to his station and treated his wounds in the camp, but compared to Yu Chigong's raging anger, he was more angry and depressed.
Cheng Yaojin played a cruel trick on him, and he lost his troops and almost died in the rebellion. In the end, he had to accept Cheng Yaojin's compensation to recover the losses. He couldn't get angry, so he could only keep his depression in his heart.
.
Not to mention how uncomfortable it is...
Before the wound was treated, a soldier entered the tent and whispered: "General Su is outside the tent asking for an audience."
Liang Jianfang was stunned and asked: "Which General Su?"
The soldier said: "Sujia, General Su."
Liang Jianfang was startled and his expression changed: "Hu Tu! At this time, each of us is his own master. How can we have anything to do with him at this time? If other people find out and spread the word, wouldn't I become a traitor who is trying to steal others?
!Tell him to get out of here."
The two sides had just experienced a major battle, and each suffered losses and casualties. As a result, as soon as the battle was over, the generals of the two armies gathered together... If word spread, it would be a serious crime.
Although the emperor had nothing to do with Cheng Yaojin, if Liang Jianfang dared to learn from Cheng Yaojin, the consequences would be disastrous...
However, the soldier did not obey the order and withdraw. Instead, he continued to whisper: "General Su is here in disguise. It is impossible for others to recognize him. General, there is no need to worry."
Liang Jianfang glared at the soldier in front of him fiercely with his tiger eyes until his face turned red and he was so worried that he did not dare to look at him...
Liang Jianfang felt solemn.
Although he is now considered to have established his own army and has little connection with Yu Chi Gong, after all, he was recommended by Yu Chi Gong and served under his account for many years. He also made many close friends at that time, including Yu Chi Gong's eyes and ears.
normal.
It's definitely not a good thing that Yuchi Gong sent people to come, but if he refuses to see him, if he doesn't protect himself, then the news will spread from his own army that Yuchi Gong sent people to come in secret. Even if he doesn't meet him, he may not be able to tell him.
Deqing...
After a long time, he looked away, pulled off the middle coat and put it on, and said calmly: "Let him do it."
"Here."
The soldier looked a little confused and obeyed the order to withdraw.
He has followed Liang Jianfang for many years and has gone through life and death many times. But now he has made Liang Jianfang angry because Yu Chigong told him not to disobey the order. From now on, he will no longer be able to serve Liang Jianfang...
Liang Jianfang picked up the strong wine that was used to clean wounds on the table and took a sip. The extremely spicy wine burned his throat and esophagus like fire, and when it flowed into his stomach, it made him feel overwhelmed, but it made his mind extremely clear.
Yuchi Gong had just suffered a huge defeat, so why did he turn around and send his deputies to meet him?
Suddenly, Liang Jianfang realized that this battlefield was actually the opportunity for this battle. Once it fell, the rebels would rush to Chang'an City. Not only those bystanders could take the opportunity to rely on the King of Jin to launch a violent attack on Chang'an City, but even those who had already joined the Emperor's army could
The ambitious people under his command who have sworn allegiance may not change their minds and attack His Majesty the Emperor.
Everyone is born to pursue profit. Individuals, families, factions...all motivations lie in the distribution of benefits. Wherever they can grab more benefits, people will rush to get there.
All loyalty, benevolence, and morality can be discarded like worn-out shoes.
What's more, the so-called loyalty, benevolence, and morality are just disguises to cover up interests. As long as the interests are suitable, everything can be traded or abandoned.
And now I am standing on this battlefield that is stirring up the empire...
