Chapter 415: Eight Formations (8)
"I also told you that opportunities are not given by others, but earned by yourself." Yan Yuan stared at Li Longji with a cold face, and Li Longji looked at her.
"I've told you something from the moment you walked through the door, but you still don't know what to do. Is it my fault? Yan Yuan glanced at Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong's whole body trembled.
"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries. The prime minister of a country, under one person and above ten thousand, cannot reconcile yin and yang and appease the people, which is his fault. And if you use the wrong person and go the wrong way, everyone will have to pay for everything they do, even if you are an emperor, and you will reap the consequences. ”
With his hands open, Yan Yuan sat on the dragon chair, and no one was surprised, "All the officials who discuss fleeing Chang'an, be punished!" ”
The person sitting on the dragon chair spit out a sentence, and its majesty was unacceptable, not even Li Longji.
"Your Majesty, this woman dares to sit on the dragon chair, that is to seek power and usurp the throne." As soon as Yang Guozhong heard the words, he immediately crawled over and grabbed Li Longji's hand, and took medicine in front of so many people.
But Yan Yuan didn't say a word when he listened, and Li Longji was pulled by him like that, looking down at him, "Come on, pull Yang Guozhong out and kill him!" ”
Yang Guozhong never expected that Li Longji would really, really listen to Yan Yuan's words. begged: "Your Majesty, the Emperor spare your life, spare your life!" ”
Li Longji was not moved at all, the guards walked in, dragged Yang Guozhong down, Yang Guozhong kept begging, and when he saw a woman running over, he shouted: "Niangniang, Niangniang save the minister, Niangniang." ”
"Your Majesty!" Yang Guifei rushed over when she heard the news, saw Yang Guozhong being dragged out, hurriedly rushed into the hall, called Li Longji, and then saw Yan Yuan sitting on the dragon chair, and covered her chest in shock.
"The Yang family, because they gave birth to a daughter who won your heart, can be said to be a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven. Her sister had to be named Mrs., and her brother was Yang Guozhong as Prime Minister. You make everyone in the world feel that it is better to give birth to a woman who wins your heart than to die on the battlefield at the border pass, appease the people, and relieve the people, Li Sanlang, your excession is far greater than you think. ”
Look at Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties, beauty is beauty, and the Anshi Rebellion is not her fault, but it is a pity that she has been infamous through the ages.
"Since you don't want to take on the responsibility of the emperor, this emperor should let someone else be in charge." Yan Yuan said and stood up, "You have two choices, first, the soldiers you transfer, whether you want to defend or flee from Chang'an, I don't care; Second, from now on, all major military and political affairs will be decided by me, you are still your emperor, the world is stable, the new policy is in line, and the heir of this country is handed over to you, not you. ”
Li Longji didn't think about it: "I'll choose the second way." ”
"You haven't asked about the court for more than ten years, and in the future, you will live your previous life, you know who I am. Words are spoken, deeds must be fruitful, don't let people mess with me, otherwise, I don't mind giving these hands to others, not people surnamed Li. After saying it coldly, Li Longji's whole body trembled, what kind of person Yan Yuan was, he knew too well.
How about the people of the Li clan, Yan Yuan knew in his heart, what she told Li Longji not to mess with her was to warn Li Longji not to make any small moves.
"Auntie, don't worry!" Li Longji responded to this matter.
This can be regarded as a negotiation, not long ago, Li Longji issued an edict to enshrine Yan Yuan as the general of the town, and all the major military and political affairs were handed over to Yan Yuan to deal with, so the girl who suddenly appeared was really suspicious, and there are many people with lofty ideals in the court at present, although I heard that Yang Guozhong's killing was related to Yan Yuan, and the major affairs of the country are different from child's play, how can it be handed over to women and children who do not know the details.
"An Lushan has raised troops so far, no one is invincible, and now he is going straight to Chang'an, you don't think about how to deal with An Lushan, who else is in charge?" When Yan Yuan heard the news, he came into the palace in a hurry, scolded, and was dressed in armor, showing his heroic majesty, and swept it at a glance, even more than Li Longji.
"If you don't obey me, take someone to cut down An Lushan." Yan Yuan snatched the knife in the hand of the guard on the side and threw it on the ground, and said bluntly.
"Could it be that you can stop An Lushan?"
"What's the use of talking about it, An Lushan's 150,000 troops are only half a day's trip from Chang'an, so you can see if you can see it." Yan Yuan didn't have time to talk to these people at this time.
"In this half-day journey, I want to make An Lushan's 150,000 soldiers and horses fold at least half. You, look at it with wide eyes, if I can't do it, ask the emperor to take back the military and political affairs and hand them over to me to deal with, otherwise, there will be less nonsense in the future. When Yan Yuan said this, everyone's brains turned, and they all nodded and agreed.
Yan Yuan clapped his hands and said: "Since it has been said, you are all husbands who stand up to the heavens and the earth, and I won't say anything about the contract, and in the future, please remember today's words." ”
There are words first, a group of men look at each other, this is also a villain first and then a gentleman.
Yan Yuan made a temporary decision on these people, and immediately ordered someone to do the early arrangement. An Lushan's soldiers went to Chang'an in four ways, and Yan Yuan was very familiar with the road from Tongguan to Chang'an, how many mountains she passed by, and what dangerous places she took, she knew too well. There are too few soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and most of them are pampered sons and brothers, and they are hard to match An Lushan's elite soldiers, who can only be sent to death.
So you can't fight hard, since you can't hit hard, you can only outwit. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, guerrilla warfare is a way of fighting that can give full play to the greatest advantages.
It was Yan Yuan who ordered people to set traps and ambushes in dangerous places on the road of An Lushan's army along the way, which must make An Lushan suffer all the way.
According to Yan Yuan's deployment, the results are very great, and the places where she sets up traps and ambushes are the only way to go, and where you can't go without walking, it is not too easy to make it bad.
However, Xun Rizhao and Xuezhen listened to Yan Yuan's seemingly scoundrel style of play, set traps to ambush, and left after the fight, and never faced it head-on, did it fail?
"The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, and in the great wars of the past and present, there are fewer people who set traps and ambushes? Now it is clear that the people of An Lushan are strong and strong, but what about our side? Chang'an said that there were tens of thousands of defenders, and less than half of them had seen blood, and there were still people who were greedy for life and afraid of death in this half. ”
As soon as Xun Rizhao and Xueji's words came out, Yan Yuan asked rhetorically. Xun Rizhao and Xueji were choked and speechless.
The war seems to be completely different from what they think. Yan Yuan understood very well that they had not really been in contact with the battlefield, even if Snow Marks had a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, as a bounty hunter, he would measure his ability every time he received a business order before deciding whether to do it or not, and it was only limited to fighting alone.
So he subconsciously also felt that fighting should be the same as fighting with others, one-on-one, facing each other head-on. Therefore, when he knew that Yan Yuan constantly asked people to set up ambushes and sneak attacks, he couldn't accept it.
"Fighting a war is not as simple as you think, the victory of a war, the terrain, the time, the people, everything has a lot to do with it. Especially for people, this is the truth that man will conquer heaven. Yan Yuan took the opportunity to teach the two of them, and these two had a long experience again.
At the same time, two days later, An Lushan's soldiers and horses finally arrived outside Chang'an City, but the tired appearance of the army and the number of people who were missing by nearly half were very happy to watch.
"Great, great, General Xun really intercepted and killed most of An Lushan's centaurs, did you see it? Now the soldiers and horses of An Lushan look like they have not rested for a few days. "That's great! The generals defending the city hurriedly entered the palace to report.
Li Longji was relieved when he heard such a return, Yan Yuan used his soldiers like a god, as before, no, it was even worse than before.
"General Xun, what should we do next?" Although most of the people were destroyed, tens of thousands of horsemen were still in the city.
"There is no absolute numerical superiority, An Lushan will not attack the city easily, he will not attack, we will attack." Yan Yuan had already thought about the next step.
"Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although most of An Lushan's soldiers and horses have been brought to the capital, will it be too risky to take Tongguan to capture Luoyang, and then outflank An Lushan with Chang'an's army?" Xun Taijun had kept up with the battlefield, but he was quite worried about Yan Yuan's plans.
"Grandma knows what I'm most worried about right now?" Yan Yuan asked Xun Taijun, and Xun Taijun said, "In addition to An Lushan, what else is there to worry about?" ”
"Tibet!" Yan Yuan spit out these two words, Xun Taijun was taken aback, Yan Yuan said: "Today's Tubo country is rich and strong, and the soldiers are strong and strong, if you take advantage of the civil strife in my Tang Dynasty to seize the city, what should you do?" ”
Xun Taijun was also anxious when he heard this, "Datang doesn't even have a general who can resist An Lushan, why should he resist Tibet?" ”
"Datang still has generals and soldiers, but Chang'an has no soldiers. Out of Chang'an, it is not difficult to recapture Tongguan and Luoyang, and the important thing is to quickly deploy defenses, and not to let Tubo take advantage of the situation. ”
Xun Taijun understood this time, "In the name of retaking Tongguan, you really want to go to the border with Tubo to set up defenses?" ”
Yan Yuan nodded, Xun Taijun was really comforted, and patted Yan Yuan's hand, "If you are wrong, just like you said, it is the fault of the emperor alone, and it is not in the world that the people are in the world, the war is together, and it is the people who suffer, you can think of these very good." ”
"Tubo will not do it easily, I am afraid that he will take a look again, after all, they all see the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also afraid that we will settle accounts after the autumn. Once it is determined that there is no more Sheng Tang, they will drive straight in. Yan Yuan understood each of these people's thoughts very well.
"In that case, you should be careful when you go, and let Zhao'er accompany you." Xun Taijun thought of something and said, Yan Yuan said: "Brother has to stay in the capital, I still have something for him to do." ”
Xun Taijun looked at Yan Yuan, and Yan Yuan hurriedly said: "There is really something, I didn't deliberately leave him alone." ”
Today's Xun Taijun, the family responsibility has been relieved, and the grandson has also become a granddaughter-in-law, although Yan Yuan is her granddaughter, but she is not simply her granddaughter, she was born to shoulder much more than Xun Rizhao.
How much courage it takes to fight against the sky!
Xun Taijun has more respect for Yan Yuan in addition to his previous kindness. Princess Changqing has never married in her life, she is to protect the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Zetian, it is because Xun Taijun has never thought about Yan Yuan's lifelong event when she learns of Yan Yuan's identity, people like Yan Yuan, she has her own ideas, once she makes a decision, she will not change it easily, she is determined, and she can't see it.
She is her granddaughter, and she is not just her granddaughter, Xun Taijun also accepted it open-mindedly, but now that she has lost her mana, she is still worried that she will miss the battlefield, so she wants Xun Rizhao to take care of it.
Before Yan Yuan left, Xun Taijun turned a corner to find Xun Rizhao, "What does Yuan Yuan want you to do when you stay in the capital?" ”
"Just let me look at the emperor." The honest Xun Rizhao blurted out as soon as he heard Xun Taijun's question.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Xun Taijun was a little surprised, Yan Yuan didn't say anything just now, so she didn't ask Yan Yuan what she wanted Xun Rizhao to do in the capital, she still wanted Xun Rizhao to follow Yan Yuan to protect her, so she asked Xun Rizhao.
Xun Rizhao said: "Yuan Yuan said that the emperor is depressed, and his health is getting worse and worse, let me stay and take care of it, and I can't fall into the hands of others." ”
Xun Taijun heard this, "How can such a trivial matter be more important than her safety." ”
"No, grandma, I know you want me to follow Yuan Yuan to Tongguan, I originally had such a plan, but Yuan Yuan repeatedly emphasized that the emperor's safety is more important than her safety, if something happens to the emperor, the world will suspect that she is in power to kill the king, in this way, she will not be able to justifiably control the military and political army, order the three armies, and order the administration." Xun Rizhao relayed what Yan Yuan said to him one by one.
Xun Taijun paused, this matter is indeed very important, if you are not careful, Yan Yuanhui will be discredited.
"Then what do you think of the emperor?" Xun Taijun asked quite carefully. Xun Rizhao said: "It's not a big deal, it's what Yuan Yuan said, he is used to holding power, and he suddenly wants to listen to others, he can't accept it, plus he was scolded by Yuan Yuan so facelessly, why don't you just hide in the palace and drink and drink, with the concubine Niangniang, the emperor will be fine." ”
"Concubine, concubine! He himself ended up like this, because he was addicted to alcohol, and now the world is in chaos like this, he is still reluctant to give up that woman, it is really hopeless. "Xun Taijun, this hates iron but not steel!
Xun Rizhao said: "It's no wonder that on the head of the concubine, what does the emperor want to do, what he doesn't do, even if he is a capable minister of the Manchu Dynasty, he can't change it, let alone a concubine." Yuan Yuan is right, the Tang Dynasty will have today, and it is all caused by the emperor. ”
"Grandma, now Yuan Yuan is interfering, prince?" Xun Rizhao can remember that Xun Taijun said that Li Heng can replace Ziwei Sword and must be the emperor in the future, but now that Yan Yuan is intervening, Li Longji is still the emperor, and Li Longji, who will be in a while, can't die, Li Heng wants to be the emperor, it's difficult to ......
Xun Taijun understood what Xun Rizhao meant, shook his head and said, "This matter is urgent, I think Yuan Yuan has other arrangements." However, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the ability, Yuan Yuan will not change anything. ”
"Grandma, Shi Huan has asked me how many times Yuan Yuan's attitude towards the prince was ordered, I'm afraid it was instructed by the prince." Qianxun interjected on the side, and Xun Taijun said: "You just have to go back to Shihuan as it is, Yuan Yuan is busy now, and we can't ask these words." ”
Qianxun responded, let's prepare for Yan Yuan's departure from Chang'an!
