Chapter 349 Advance is Retreat
Zhao Chen's camp, in the center of the tent.
Yang Tianyu and Zhao Chen, the princes of Yang Kingdom, were sitting together drinking tea, and Cheng Julu stood respectfully at the front.
Yang Tianyu smiled: "How is the morale now?"
Cheng Julu said: "With the arrangement of the marshal, the soldiers have become more active, and they are more and more hostile to Zhang Baigui, and now the morale of the army is very high, and they are all preparing to capture Zhenbei and capture Chang'an." ”
Yang Tianyu nodded and chuckled, seemingly satisfied with the result.
Zhao Chen took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Prince, have those who persecuted the families of my soldiers received the punishment they deserved?"
Yang Tianyu put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "In my Yang country, those who persecute the families of soldiers will be killed, and no one can be an exception. ”
Yang Tianyu's words can be said to be very beautiful, at least he won the applause of several generals in the same big tent, and their recognition of Yang Tianyu was a little more.
Although Yang Tianyu did not clearly say what the final outcome of those who persecuted the families of the soldiers was, anyone with a discerning eye could hear that the ending was not very good for those who did evil, but it was slightly better for these soldiers, after all, they had a forgiveness in their hearts.
Zhao Chen bowed his head slightly, of course he knew that the end of those people was sent to the beheading table by his own hands, could he not know? The reason why he asked this question was to pave the way for the prince's future.
The prince's answer satisfied him.
From the faces of several generals present, he also saw the result he wanted.
Zhao Chen gently put down the teacup and began to talk about business.
Although Zhang Baigui is a fledgling, it can be seen from the fact that he single-handedly planned the disappearance of the soldiers' families, he is a scheming person. What is even more unexpected is that when the Han Kingdom was first established, there was such a deep layout in our country. ”
The disappearance of so many cities and so many people cannot be the work of one person, it can only be said that it was premeditated.
It's only been a few days since the establishment of the Han Kingdom! It can make the Yang Kingdom panic, if the Han Kingdom is given another period of growth, will there still be a location for their Yang Kingdom in this extreme north?
Yang Tianyu's body moved uncomfortably, "General Zhao, although this Han Kingdom was first established, this Chen State has been around for a long time! The Han Kingdom was established on the basis of the Chen State, and some of the foundations are normal. ”
Yang Tianyu knew that his words were a little untenable, who didn't know that Dongluo and Fan Zeng did not deal with each other at the beginning, and after Fan Zeng was defeated, would he leave the heritage of Chen Guo to Dongluo?
But there are some things he still has to say.
Zhao Chen did not expose Yang Tianyu's shortcomings, because it was not only Yang Tianyu who lost face, but everyone in Chen Guo, and he Zhao Chen was no exception.
Zhao Chen asked, "Are there more cases of the disappearance of the soldiers' families now?"
Cheng Julu said with a smile: "There are heavy sentences to be given, and officials from all over the country have also restrained a lot, and they don't dare to blatantly do evil." After the forbidden army joined the search, there were many fewer cases of the disappearance of the soldiers' families, and now even if individual soldiers received letters from their families or saw their relatives, they knew that this was Zhang Baigui's conspiracy, and they would only hate Zhang Baigui and the soldiers even more
The gas is even higher. ”
Zhao Chen hummed and said: "For those missing people, increase the search and patrol efforts, live to see people, dead to see corpses." There is no mercy for those who do evil,"
Speaking of this, Cheng Julu suddenly frowned, "Dashuai, it's just this time ......"
Zhao Chen's brows tightened, what is it? Could it be that something irreconcilable has happened?
Cheng Julu glanced at Yang Tianyu and didn't speak.
Yang Tianyu smiled in surprise, "What's the matter?
Yang Tianyu planned to get up and leave, he also knew that he had a few catties and taels, and professional things had to be done by professional people. When it comes to marching and fighting, he will not mix with it if he can, and he will command without blindly commanding.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice: "Cheng Julu, the prince is not an outsider, is there anything else that needs to be hidden from the prince?"
Yang Tianyu sat back in his place and didn't say a word.
Cheng Julu said in a deep voice: "It's just that the target this time is to lock on the emperor's grandson, Yang Jimo." ”
"What?"
Yang Tianyu's face changed, and he suddenly stood up.
Yang Jimo, the emperor's grandson, is his own son! His own son is far away in Daye City, the capital of the Yang Dynasty, how can he also be framed?
Zhao Chen's pupils also shrank.
Yang Jimo's good deeds, even if he was at the border, he had heard that the three people he killed in Daye City before were his henchmen, and the four of them were called the four evils of Daye City.
If this really splashes dirty water on Yang Jimo, it will be yellow mud falling off the crotch of his pants, and it is impossible to say.
Whether it's true or not, it must be true in the end.
Zhao Chen said with an ugly face: "In the past, he was just a local official, a son of a nobleman, but this time he is the grandson of the emperor, Zhang Baigui is going to have a showdown?"
Yang Tianyu snorted coldly and said: "The armies of Jiang and Yue can reach the border of the Han Kingdom the day after tomorrow, if he doesn't have a showdown at this time, can he leave the cards in his hand and die with him?"
Even at this time, Yang Tianyu thought that Yang Jimo was the dirty water that Zhang Baigui poured on his body.
Yang Tianyu said coldly: "Cheng Julu, what's going on?"
"Prince Qiqi, news from Daye City, there are at least ten massacres in Daye City related to the emperor's grandson, and the reason is that Yang Jimo is greedy for beauty, and at this moment, there are ten soldiers kneeling in front of my tent, begging me to ask the marshal to call the shots. ”
Yang Tianyu said anxiously: "Bastard Zhang Baigui, dare to slander my son." Cheng Julu, go and tell them that this is slander. ”
"Prince, my subordinates have checked, and the people who came to report to the ten soldiers are all relatives and close letters from the ten soldiers, and seven of them are just missing, and Zhang Baigui has not been so mad as to kill the families of the soldiers. ”
"Wouldn't it be better to blame my son if he killed?"
Zhao Chen's face changed, "It's not good." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Zhang Baigui is a rat trap, as long as he controls the family members of the soldiers in his hands, when they fight, they will not contribute, and they dare not contribute, if Zhang Baigui turns against them, for the sake of their families, they will not have to obey. ”
"Rebellion?" Yang Tianyu gasped unconsciously
A breath of cool air.
If there is a rebellion in the million-strong army, the blow to the morale of the army and the morale will be irreparable.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice: "Seven of the ten soldiers you said before are slander, so what about the other three!"
Cheng Julu's face was ugly for a while, and after looking at Zhao Tianyu, he lowered his head and said softly: "The remaining three are indeed the work of the imperial grandson." ”
Yang Tianyu looked at Cheng Julu with cold eyes.
Cheng Julu stubbornly said: "Prince, your subordinates have said bluntly, over the years, the imperial grandson has relied on your identity to do a lot of bad things, and you have also taken special care of the officials of Daye City and helped suppress many ugly things for the imperial grandson." ”
Zhao Chen's eyes also turned cold, "Cheng Julu, are you sure it was the emperor's grandson?"
"My subordinates have confirmed that those three men have enlisted with me, and I have seen their relatives, and they are indeed born like flowers, and the person who wrote the letter, who is also their brother, has seen the corpse with his own eyes. They also brought tokens. ”
"Bang!"
Yang Tianyu slapped the table and said angrily: "This rebel, I'm going to kill him with my own hands." ”
"Prince, slow!"
Zhao Chen said: "Cheng Julu, are you sure that the person who sent the news is reliable? Has he been bought by Zhang Baigui? You must know that the friendship in the world is not solid, not to see what we have experienced together, but whether we have enough chips?"
A hint of hope flashed on Yang Tianyu's face, maybe those people were just bought!
Cheng Julu shook his head and said: "The subordinates don't dare to guarantee it, but they have been kneeling outside the camp tent of the last general, begging the marshal to give an explanation, and according to the heavy punishment promulgated, the imperial grandson should be decided." They implore the marshal to handle it impartially. ”
Yang Tianyu crushed the armrest of the seat.
A moment ago, he was still saying that in my Yang country, those who persecute the families of soldiers and soldiers will not be killed, and no one can be an exception. Is it that when it comes to his son, there will be an exception?
But if it were an exception, the morale of the army would have collapsed!
On the one hand, it is the great cause of Yang Guo, and on the other hand, it is his most beloved son.
Yang Tianyu made up his mind, "Military law cannot be violated, and national law cannot be violated." Zhao Shuai, this front line will be handed over to you. The palace will go back to Daye City, personally dispose of this rebel, and give me an explanation for the millions of soldiers of Yang Kingdom. ”
Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Prince, although this Yang Jimo deserves to die, he can't die. Not because he is the heir to the throne of Yang State, but as soon as he dies, the involvement will be great, and today Zhang Baigui sent Yang Jimo a charge, and we killed him. Tomorrow, if he sends the three princes and nine kings, will we still kill them? Will we still kill the hundreds of officials? I can see that as long as we kill Yang Jimo, this Yang country will collapse. ”
Yang Tianyu smiled bitterly: "But this Yang Jimo, it's already impossible not to kill! So many noble children, if they say kill, they will kill, don't they have complaints? Now it's my son's turn, why can't I kill him? You and I don't want to kill, but there will be many people who force you and me to kill." ”
Just the eight major families of Daye City have already offended half of them, especially the Yuwen family where the courtier Xiangyuwen Huairou is located, and he only beheaded his little grandson a few days ago
Ziyu Wenke.
Will Yuwen Huairou and the Yuwen family give up?
Zhao Chen's face was gloomy, "Zhang Baigui's conspiracy is too intensive, don't wait, we must immediately send troops to capture Chang'an, destroy the Han Kingdom, and then rush to the aid of the Beijing Division and destroy the eight major families in one fell swoop." ”
Zhao Chen stood up, "Cheng Julu, immediately reorganize the army, fight with injuries, fight with life, take the Han Kingdom as quickly as possible, and if it drags on, the Yang Kingdom will collapse." ”
Yang Tianyu didn't want to kill his son, he was also looking at Cheng Julu at the moment, after conquering the Han Kingdom, even if the people of those big families really wanted to kill Yang Jimo, then let's talk about it!
"But what about those ten soldiers?" asked Cheng Julu.
"The seven missing of that family are easy to appease, and the remaining three are blocked, and even let them go home to find out about the situation, in short, you must keep the news to a minimum before the army triumphs. ”
Cheng Julu asked again: "If they insist on being handsome, you will be the master for them!"
A cold light flashed in Zhao Chen's eyes, "At this time, you should focus on the overall situation, Cheng Julu, you have been with me for so long, you should also know the four words Ci Bu is in charge of the soldiers!"
"Yes!"
Cheng Julu frowned and walked out of the camp.
