"Mr. Yang, maybe things have to start from the beginning of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion. After the news of the rebellion reached the capital, not many people paid much attention to it. It was not until Cao Xiong's defeat that the court realized the seriousness of the problem, and the emperor did this When they started to pay attention, everyone realized that this matter was not a trivial matter, but a major test. But at the same time, they also realized that quelling this rebellion would be a huge achievement. For this reason , the imperial court started competing for candidates to counter the rebellion." Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
Yang Yiqing smiled and drank a glass of wine.
"Originally, the foreign court had no intention of participating in the counter-rebellion. After all, it was Liu Jin's fault. Li Shoufu, Yang Ting and the others were waiting to see Liu Jin's joke. If Liu Jin could not quell Zhu Chixiu's rebellion, the foreign court would He would never let him go. But Liu Jin suddenly made a strange move and recommended me to quell the rebellion, and got the emperor's permission. In this case, Li Shoufu and Grand Scholar Yang naturally had to change their strategies. Because they knew, Once I, Zhang Yanling, take over this matter, I will definitely succeed immediately."
Yang Yiqing looked at Zhang Yanling with a smile, without saying a word and with a calm expression.
"...I have enough resources. If the soldiers and horses around Ningxia Town cannot be used, I may even use the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to suppress the rebellion, and the emperor will definitely support it. I am still Duke Dingguo As the son-in-law of the government, the Honorable Family will fully cooperate with me in suppressing the rebellion. Therefore, regardless of whether I, Zhang Yanling, have the ability to lead an army, it is actually only a matter of time before I can quell Zhu Chixiu."
"As a result, the foreign court wanted to blame Liu Jin for the rebellion because of the failure of the counter-rebellion, and it was impossible to criticize him further. In this case, why not retreat and do the next best thing? So Li Shoufu and the others tried their best to counter the rebellion. I recommend you, Mr. Yang, to participate in the counter-rebellion. Since the counter-rebellion is bound to succeed, the foreign court will naturally get a share of the credit. Otherwise, the foreign court will gain nothing? This is the reason why you, Mr. Yang, take charge of military affairs. reasons."
Zhang Yanling took a sip of tea. Yang Yiqing subconsciously drank another glass of wine.
"Master Yang, I would venture to make a guess. Regarding the matter of suppressing the rebellion, your initial thought, Master Yang, was to let the Outer Court enjoy the credit alone with your own efforts. Because if the Outer Court can achieve peace, Rebellion will greatly change the situation of the Outer Court, which is very important to the Outer Court. Since the impeachment case, the Outer Court is now in a difficult situation and urgently needs to reverse the situation. Of course, maybe this is not your idea, but Yang Tinghe's idea. Because Yang Tinghe is ambitious and wants to regain the dignity of the outer court and revitalize the status of the outer court, which is in line with his behavior. But no matter whose idea it is, you must think so, right? "
Yang Yiqing swallowed and poured himself another glass of wine. Perhaps unable to conceal his inner shock, his hands shook slightly while pouring the wine and he spilled a lot of wine on the table.
"With this in mind, you have already started building ships to prepare to cross the Yellow River before I arrive in Lingzhou. You want to take the lead in the army. You know, with my qualifications, those leading generals will definitely not You will obey my orders. Therefore, you know that I cannot compete with you for the right to lead the army. Even if I agree with the plan of building ships and forcing the crossing, it is also the battle plan formulated by you, Master Yang, and the future achievements will also be yours, Master Yang. .And I am regarded as just executing your orders under your leadership. However, I am opposed to your plan, so you can forcefully seize the power to command the army and kick me away. There is no need to fight against me. I’m not being polite in any way. Is that right?”
Yang Yiqing looked gloomy, picked up the wine glass and drank the third glass of wine.
Zhang Yanling continued with a smile: "Mr. Yang, when I proposed to lead the army to leave Lingzhou, you must have been extremely happy. Because my taking the initiative to leave is the best result for you. In this way, you can justifiably execute it.
The strategy of crossing the river,
There is no need to make any more estimates. The success of counterinsurgency in the future has nothing to do with Zhang Yanling and me. That’s why you deliberately used neglect and indifference as well as the collective resistance of other generals to force me to leave voluntarily. Once I leave, I can
Said it was just what you wanted."
"...It's a pity that you never expected that the battle across the river would be a disastrous defeat. You thought your plan would be a great success. But you underestimated the strength of the rebels. After the defeat, you must have thought about how to get away with it.
How to shirk responsibility. Originally, I was a good scapegoat because I left my post without permission and was suspected of dereliction of duty. You must have thought about making a fuss about this matter. Or at least
Even if the court blames you, you will also bring someone to shoulder the responsibility with you. You know that as long as you bring me in, your faults will be reduced a lot. As long as the court does not punish me severely, it will not punish you severely. And I will definitely use my connections.
Exculpated. When I exonerate myself, I am actually exonerating you, Mr. Yang, because the court cannot favor one over the other. Mr. Yang, do you dare to say that you did not think so at the time?"
Yang Yiqing stared and drank his fourth glass of wine. The wine, which originally tasted good, was a bit bitter in his mouth. He managed to maintain his calmness and demeanor, but the stiff and embarrassed expression on his face betrayed him.
"...When you learned that I did not stand idly by, but instead led an army to attack Ningxia City and occupied Ningxia City, you knew that the idea of pulling me into the water was not feasible. Because I have opened up the situation, and you are a
A willful loser who refuses to listen to dissuasion. At this time, it is obvious that he has said no to the matter of me leaving the post without permission.
Got it. After the defeat, those generals must also be very dissatisfied, and you may not be able to restrain them. At this time, with your wisdom, Mr. Yang, it is naturally impossible to do stupid things. So you think about how you can share this credit.
, to relieve the embarrassment of your failure. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for you personally and for the foreign court."
Yang Yiqing stood up suddenly, staring at Zhang Yanling, his face flushed. His originally elegant and neat beard seemed to be flying.
"Master Zhang...you have gone too far. The story you made up is too bizarre." Yang Yiqing shouted sharply.
Zhang Yanling leaned back on the chair, looked at Yang Yiqing with a smile and said: "Mr. Yang, do you still want to guess this riddle? Why is Mr. Yang so angry? I agreed that this is just my personal guess, and I don't insist on it.
Is it the truth? Lord Yang doesn’t like to hear it, so I won’t guess. I don’t want to make Lord Yang angry.”
Yang Yiqing's chest rose and fell, breathing heavily. Then he slowly sat down, picked up the wine glass and drank his fifth glass of wine.
"Why am I angry? Mr. Zhang is just making random guesses. I am not that stingy. I am angry because of this speculation. If you like to guess, keep guessing. I don't care."
Zhang Yanling applauded Yang Yiqing, gave Yang Yiqing a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Yang will listen to it as a joke, and I will tell it as a joke. We have agreed not to be harmonious, and there is no need to get angry. Don't follow either.
My general knowledge is that if you think what I say is nonsense, then it is nonsense. Everything depends on what you say."
Yang Yiqing stared at Zhang Yanling and thought: You are really a piece of shit. You exposed me to my face, but you still spoke so humbly, as if you respect me. In fact, you just slapped me in the face.
, since it has reached this level, you might as well listen to him continue to talk, and you will know how much this guy knows.
"...In order to achieve the goal quietly, Mr. Yang came up with a way. That night you deliberately held a meeting to discuss whether to continue the march. You specially invited Gu Dayong, who was also excluded from the meeting by you, to attend the meeting.
.That day during the day, you went to find Shi Yong and asked Shi Yong and Qiu Yue in detail.
Regarding the exchanges between them, you have reviewed the letters between Shi Yong and Qiu Yue, so you are sure that there is no problem between Qiu Yue and Shi Yong. However, you used your method to prevent Qiu Yue from possibly surrendering to the enemy and Shi Yong from collaborating with the enemy. I
The idea that the news of the capture of Ningxia City might be a trap for the rebels was revealed to Gu Dayong."
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is so good at writing stories that he can write storybooks. Shao Can, the most famous storyteller in the Ming Dynasty, may not be as good as you." Yang Yiqing sneered.
Zhang Yanling ignored him and continued: "...This is a very simple matter for you. You only need to order someone to inadvertently leak these information to the people under Gu Dayong and Yang Yu.
.Dongchang Fanzi and the Jinyi Guardsmen will naturally dispose of this.
Report it up. In this way, Gu Dayong will jump out to accuse Shi Yong at the meeting. And you can support Shi Yong and be a savior who can distinguish right from wrong. Shi Yong is naturally grateful to you, so you can
With the help of Shi Yong, the letter was delivered to me."
Yang Yiqing sneered: "Then Mr. Zhang, how did I know that Gu Dayong would definitely jump out to criticize Shi Yong? Even if I rescued Shi Yong and wrote the letter to you through his hand, how could I be sure that you would do it for me?"
Will Shi Yong come to my rescue?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Master Yang, I don't know whether Gu Dayong will definitely attack Shi Yong. But you know that Gu Dayong will definitely take this opportunity to prevent another cross-river attack. Because you understand that there is bad blood between me and the inner court.
Liu Jin is always looking for opportunities to get rid of
Get rid of me. Qiu Yue's letter to Shi Yong mentioned the news that I was being hunted in the city. You concluded that someone leaked the news. And you also guessed that it was Gu Dayong and Yang Yu. So you know,
Gu Dayong will organize another cross-river attack. You gave Gu Dayong a
The reason for stopping it is that Shi Yong's identity is doubtful, Qiu Yue's identity is doubtful, and I captured Ningxia Town and my identity is doubtful. It was you who guided Gu Dayong to do this step by step. It's a pity that Gu Dayong was led by the nose.
I don’t know it yet, since Gu Dayong wants to get rid of me
, then he will definitely prevent the troops from crossing the river. Because as long as the imperial army does not cross the river, my three thousand troops will be fighting alone in Ningxia City. After He Jinyi gets the news, he can dispatch troops and horses to attack Ningxia City. I will be dead. Yang
Sir, does this make sense?"
Yang Yiqing sneered, his heart beating violently, and he was sweating all over. The secret plan that he had carefully arranged was completely revealed by Zhang Yanling. This really made him feel uncomfortable and he was sweating profusely.
He picked up the wine glass and drank the sixth glass of wine to relieve his mood.
"Edit, continue to edit." Yang Yiqing said hoarsely.
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Master Yang, if you drink like this, you will be drunk soon. Master Yang, I think I'd better not say any more. Otherwise, I'm afraid the scene will be ugly."
"No, Mr. Zhang must go on. The story compiled by Mr. Zhang is so exciting, I'm still waiting to hear it to the end." Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Master Yang has an order, how dare Yanling disobey it. Even if I continue to say it, there is no need to gnash your teeth. Do you want to eat people?"
