Eight hundred and fortieth chapters lead an army alone [2 more]
All I heard was Fang La say: "Uncle, there is no need to mention it again. I have my own thoughts on how to deal with Song Jiang and others."
As Fang La's number one confidant, Fang Qifu was also the prime minister that Fang La would rely on after he founded the country and became emperor. Obviously, Fang Qifu was not an ordinary person. He could tell at a glance that Song Jiang, Wu Yong and the others were simply unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
, it is simply impossible to subdue them for their use, so Fang Qifu had murderous intentions.
However, when there was such a big commotion in Jiangnan, Chu Yi, as the owner of Dongchang, got the news immediately.
Chu Yi was stunned at first, and then showed a strange smile. He thought that Fang La would keep immersed in farming and refused to rebel. Unexpectedly, Song Jiang and Wu Yong, who had deceived Fang La as soon as they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, rebelled.
That was the powerful Manichaeism, although Wang Qing in Huaixi, Tian Hu in Hebei, Song Jiang in Liangshan and La in the south of the Yangtze River were called the four great bandits.
But those who only know the inside story know one thing, that is, Wang Qing, Tian Hu, Song Jiang and others were just making up the numbers, and it was Fang La's uprising that really caused the commotion.
Of course, in this world, Liangshan can be regarded as the protagonist, but even so, the strength of Manichaeism cannot be underestimated.
You must know that in order to extinguish Manichaeism, the imperial court mobilized the strongest Western army, and then recruited Liangshan to secure Liangshan. Almost all the generals in Liangshan were killed or injured, and this was how the Manichaean rebellion was put down.
Looking towards the direction of the capital, Chu Yi was very curious. Facing the chaos in Jiangnan, how should the imperial court respond without Liang Shan as a thug?
At this moment, Chu Yi was in the military camp. Without the decree of the imperial court, the army could only be stationed in Shandong and had no troops to return to the court.
On this day, a team of fast horses rushed over. War horses were extremely rare in the Central Plains. Due to the loss of several good horse-producing lands, the Song Dynasty was short of war horses from the beginning to the end.
Therefore, war horses were definitely very precious in the Song Dynasty, and such a team of fast horses numbered at least dozens of people, which showed that the person who came here had an extraordinary identity.
Hu Yanzhuo, who was in the commander's tent, received the news that an angel was coming from the capital. He quickly organized himself and came out to greet him.
Liang Shicheng turned out to be the angel who came to deliver the message. To be honest, when he saw Liang Shicheng, even Chu Yi couldn't help but look at Liang Shicheng in surprise.
Liang Shicheng also glanced at Chu Yi, his expression looking very calm. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that there was no discord between the two.
Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Chu Yi secretly. Seeing Chu Yi's calm expression, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chu Yi and Liang Shicheng would have a conflict here.
Exhaling a filthy breath, Hu Yanzhuo bowed his hands to Liang Shicheng and said, "Hu Yanzhuo has seen an angel. I wonder if the angel is here. What orders does your majesty have?"
Liang Shicheng felt inexplicably nervous under Chu Yi's calm gaze. At this moment, when Hu Yanzhuo opened his mouth, he couldn't help but feel relaxed and looked at a Xiao Huangmen beside him.
The little Huangmen immediately took out an imperial edict and handed it to Liang Shicheng respectfully.
Liang Shicheng took the imperial edict and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's decree!"
Hu Yanzhuo and others quickly bowed, but Chu Yi just glanced at Liang Shicheng lightly. As the king of Guangyang County, Chu Yi just bowed his hand slightly.
After the imperial edict was read out, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals looked stunned, and many people subconsciously looked at Chu Yi and the others.
As generals in the army, although some of these generals have some thoughts, most of them are upright people. They know very well that the reason why Liangshan was able to be pacified so smoothly was entirely because of Chu Yi and his men.
But at this moment, the emperor's imperial edict did not mention Chu Yi at all. Instead, all the credit was placed on Hu Yanzhuo. Of course, in the imperial edict, Lu Junyi, Lu Da, Guan Sheng and others under Chu Yi were not mentioned.
Among the rewards, Chu Yi was the only one left out.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that this is clearly the emperor targeting Chu Yi. Others, including his subordinates, have received rewards, but Chu Yi was exposed. If this is not a kind of suppression of Chu Yi, what is it?
Many people were even worried that Chu Yi would get angry on the spot, but Chu Yi stood there with no change in the expression on his face, as if he had not heard the imperial edict.
Noticing that the atmosphere in the tent was a bit strange, Liang Shicheng took a deep breath and said to Hu Yanzhuo: "Hu Yanzhuo, you haven't accepted the order yet."
After coming back to his senses, Hu Yanzhuo quickly accepted the imperial edict and said: "I accept the edict, thank you!"
Liang Shicheng looked at Chu Yi at this time and said with a smile on his face: "Prince of Guangyang County, your Majesty said before leaving that the Manichaean rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River has shocked the court. After discussion, you will
The imperial court will send elite soldiers to the land south of the Yangtze River to put down the rebellion."
Chu Yi said: "It should be so."
However, Liang Shicheng changed his voice and said: "Here, Liang wants to congratulate the King of Guangyang County. Your Majesty has decreed that the King of Guangyang County will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard army to go to the south of the Yangtze River to put down the rebellion.
"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the big tent opened their eyes wide and looked at Liang Shicheng in disbelief. It was obvious that they were subdued by this decree.
If they didn't know that falsely spreading the imperial edict was a capital crime, they would all wonder if Liang Shicheng was falsely spreading the imperial edict.
Even they have now heard a lot of news about Manichaeism from Jiangnan.
In a short period of time, Manichaeism swept across the land south of the Yangtze River, claiming to have an army of hundreds of thousands. Even excluding some exaggerated figures, there are still at least one or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
However, the emperor actually asked Chu Yi to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to put down the rebellion with difficulty. Those who didn't know it thought this was the emperor's respect for Chu Yi, but in fact he was letting people go to die.
For a moment, everyone's hearts suddenly trembled, because they saw Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, and Lu Da standing next to Chu Yi with angry looks in their eyes, obviously stimulated by this imperial edict.
.
If Chu Yi got angry at this time, the strength of Chu Yi's men alone would be enough to kill everyone present instantly.
Many people were secretly worried, but Liang Shicheng looked at Chu Yi calmly, as if he was sure that Chu Yi would not get angry.
Instead of getting angry, Chu Yi said to Liang Shicheng: "Chu Yi is deeply honored by His Majesty's love. This time he goes to Jiangnan to put down the Manichaean rebellion."
Liang Shicheng and his party came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Although Liang Shicheng looked calm when he read out the imperial edict in the commander's tent, the moment they left the commander's tent, Liang Shicheng's feet went weak. If it hadn't been for the support of his confidants of the same sex,
If anything, Liang Shicheng might have fallen to the ground the moment he left the commander's tent.
It was obvious that Liang Shicheng was not as calm as he appeared. After all, the pressure Chu Yi brought to him was too great. Not to mention other things, just the few powerful gods under Chu Yi made Liang Shicheng feel breathless.
Especially when he revealed the emperor's will and ordered Chu Yi to lead the army as a vanguard to the south of the Yangtze River, one can imagine the pressure Liang Shicheng felt under the angry eyes of several heavenly beings.
Already.
In the handsome tent, even Hu Yanzhuo left in a hurry with his generals, leaving the handsome tent to Chu Yi and the others.
After everyone left, Ruda said angrily to Chu Yi: "Admiral, what do you mean by the officials? How powerful is the Manichaeism in Jiangnan, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the emperor actually asked the admiral to lead 10,000
The soldiers and horses are going to serve as vanguards. He has made it clear that he wants the admiral to go and die."
Although Ruda's temper seems to be reckless, it is actually just an appearance. If he was really that kind of reckless person, Ruda would not have said such a thing.
Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, even Wu Song, Zhu Wu and others all looked at Chu Yi. What they wanted to say, Lu Da had already said it.
Chu Yi could clearly feel the attitudes of the people present. Just like Luda, if they were not on his side, they would not be so angry. Chu Yi dared to say that even if he fell out with the emperor one day, Luda would not be so angry.
I will definitely go with him.
As for Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng and others, although Chu Yi was not completely sure, he was eighty-nine percent certain that they would obey his orders.
Looking across the crowd, Chu Yi slowly smiled and said: "Although the land south of the Yangtze River is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but with the help of everyone, Chu can still put down the Manichaean rebellion even if he only has this few people."
When several people heard what Chu Yi said, they were naturally extremely moved. Chu Yi had completely placed his own safety on them. What kind of trust and respect this showed.
As soon as his expression straightened, a stern look flashed in Chu Yi's eyes and he said: "Your Majesty has underestimated Chu too much. He should not have given Chu the right to command the local army."
Yang Zhi, Lu Da and others were stunned when they heard this. Unlike Lu Junyi, Wu Song and Lu Da, their background experiences made them very clear about what the local Xiang army was like.
It can be said that those Xiang troops can only bully the honest people. Even if they face the chaos, the so-called Xiang troops have no power to fight.
No one in the world would think that the Xiang Army has any fighting power. It can even be said that the Xiang Army has never been regarded as having any fighting power. At most, it is just a collection of heads.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ji decentralized the power to recruit Xiang troops to assist the army.
Yang Zhi looked at Chu Yi in surprise and said: "Admiral, the Xiang army is just a bunch of rabble. Without them, it would be fine. There might be some chance of winning. If these rabble are added, it will most likely be a defeat.
ah."
If they hadn't seen Chu Yi's clear expression, they would have suspected that Chu Yi was confused by the emperor's decree. After all, no one who knew the details of the Xiang Army would regard the Xiang Army as a regular army.
