Chapter 165: Confrontation.
This expedition was the most painful one in Pang Chong's life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The position of Count of Info was earned by him from his young age, from the east to the west, and step by step by virtue of his military exploits. The wars fought are mainly external and national battles. Even a few times internally, it was to quell the rebellion and exterminate the bandits, with a clear conscience.
But this time, it is a battle for the throne and a family affair of the royal family, and Pang Chong never wants to wade into this troubled water. Ke Rui and Di Xia Wei summoned him to the palace for a secret talk, so that he had to take over the job. Because as the head of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, there are countless disciples, and several generals under Xia Ye are also his students, which is easy to recruit. Xia Wei said bitterly, he didn't want to cause trouble to Xiao Wall and hurt the people of Limin, so it was best to surrender.
On another point, Pang Chong also agreed with Xia Wei's viewpoint: If you want to conquer the outside world, you must first secure the interior! Now that the two forces are raising the banner to establish the country, they must be quickly exterminated, and when they sit on the big stage and develop in a big way, they will be in great trouble. There is also the Liang Kingdom in the north, eyeing the tiger, the southern barbarian countries, also ready to move, to put it mildly, the Dayu Dynasty has reached the edge of life and death!
In this time of great crisis, those who are good at dying will not die, but on the second day of the day, there will be two lords in the country. Pang Chong knew very well that the water here was too deep, but now was not the time to identify who was orthodox, so he could only cut through the chaos quickly. An Nei is indeed a problem to be solved first and as soon as possible, and in any way, Rui and Emperor Xia Jing are more suitable than Xia Ye.
Of course, Count Pang also has a personal pursuit. The titles of the dynasty are divided into: duke, marquis, uncle, son, male five, etc., Xia Wei promised that if he won this battle, he would be immediately crowned as a marquis. In the noble family, there is a marquis's town house, which is the top existence. As for the duke, Pang Chong didn't want it for the time being, because it was a mourning honor for the dead. If this development continues, it is not impossible to be a duke when you die!
Xia Ye is a hairy boy in Pang Chong's impression, and beating him is simply a bully. Since the start of the war, his analysis has also been confirmed, and in many prefectures and counties in the three prefectures, officials and guards have fled. When the good news was frequent, there were also some headaches, and for some reason, the people also fled in despair, and the prefectures and counties were very chaotic. As a last resort, Pang Chong reported to the imperial capital, hoping that the court would send officials to take over as soon as possible.
In less than a month, most of the prefectures and counties in the three states fell into the hands of Pang Chong, but he was not happy. With so many prefectures and counties, troops had to be stationed separately, which allowed him to command the number of soldiers and horses to be mobilized and drastically reduced. More troublesome things appeared, and more and more appeared, those stragglers who fled in despair, actually became bandits, killing people and goods.
The person who killed was an official sent by the court. Come and kill one by one, come and kill one by one, so that the current court officials, as soon as they hear that they are going to be transferred to these three states as officials, it is like hearing that the king of Hades is destroying his life, and he will not go to death. The goods of Yue are the food and grass supply of the army, which is even more terrible, and the soldiers stationed in the garrison can only rob the people if they cannot get supplies.
Originally, there were no officials in the prefecture and county to manage it, and this robbery was even more chaotic. Under the vicious circle, many people rose up to resist. And those bandits gathered together with a roar, playing the banner of Emperor Ye, propagating that they wanted to save the people from fire and water, and attacked the prefecture and county in turn. With the cooperation of the people, a lot of lost territory was recovered.
Pang Chong was furious and asked the army to turn around and clean up these bastards. Who knew that these people came to flee again, the water network in Sanzhou was vertical and horizontal, mixed with some mountains, and there were 8,000 soldiers and horses hidden, and it was really difficult to find. In order to vent their anger and deter the people, the officials and soldiers executed a group of people, and it can be said that the walls of all prefectures and counties are full of human heads.
But this time it completely aroused the people's indignation. The officials and the army and the people are in the same situation, and even the eyes of children looking at the officers and soldiers are red. When Pang Chong found out about this situation, he wanted to strictly order the three armies not to act recklessly, but it was too late.
In the conference hall of Haoyue Villa, Xia Ye laughed constantly. The staff and generals looked at Zhang Qi leisurely sipping tea with awe-inspiring eyes. "You didn't have a black face all day yesterday, and you didn't smash the table and the bench yesterday?" a cold voice sounded.
Xia Ye, who was extremely excited, was stunned when he heard this. A little embarrassed, he said: "Qingmo, I wasn't worried some time ago." "I'm worried that you're like that, look at your little bit of talent!" Zhang Qi didn't save face for him at all. As soon as these words came out, the staff and generals were frightened, and they dared to say Emperor Ye, that's it! No matter what your identity is, you will be killed!
But Emperor Ye's actions made everyone's eyes fall to the ground. Xia Ye naturally filtered Zhang Qi's words just now, and also lifted the teapot and refilled Zhang Qi's teacup. "Qingmo, what is this clever plan called?" Xia Ye asked with a salivating face. Zhang Qi stretched out his hand to him and said angrily: "I haven't given the money for those eight words last time." ā
Xia Ye was stunned, and hurriedly ordered people to put on the gold. Looking at the golden eight ingots of gold on the table, Zhang Qi was also happy, and teased: "For the sake of you as the eldest brother, I won't raise the price this time, do you really want to hear it?" "Listen!" Xia Ye cut the railroad.
"The bottom of the kettle is drawn. Zhang Qi said four words lightly. Everyone in the council hall bowed their heads and pondered, all savoring and chewing, and no one paid attention to him anymore. This is not authentic, Zhang Qi had to knock on the table, Xia Ye woke up from shock, what kind of virtue is this brother, he doesn't know, he hurriedly took four ingots of gold from the tray and put them in front of Zhang Qi.
"A word is worth a thousand dollars!" "We are fortunate to be able to listen to the marshal's teachings in this life!" -- The staff and generals also sighed one after another. "You didn't pay for the money, so you are making a fool of yourself here. My brother, slaughtering people is not ordinary ruthless!" Xia Ye scolded with a smile, and everyone laughed heartily.
"Big brother, don't have a reputation for me!" Zhang protested. Then he glanced at the tray and said with a smile: "In this way, let me explain to you the idea of this battle." "Everybody was in good spirits. Zhang Qi continued: "For the sake of the eldest brother's cash payment this time, I will suffer a loss, don't pay a word, what is left in this tray, make do with it." ā
"One more game! I was able to make my brother suffer yesterday. Xia Ye commanded loudly. "Big brother, I'm so embarrassed. He opened his mouth shyly. "Our brothers, who is with whom. Xia Ye said boldly, turned his head and ordered: "Bachelor Wang, Bachelor Chen, hurry up and prepare a record, write it down for me word for word, this time I have made a bloody book!"
One is the emperor and the other is a marshal, and it is really strange for the ages to behave like this, even though they are not talking about brothers! Everyone was defeated by these two brothers, and they were completely happy and convinced. If you don't accept it, Emperor Ye seems to be reckless, but in fact, he is cautious, and he has the essence of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and the hidden dragon is in the abyss. And this Marshal Zhang Qi, who has never heard of this person before, can be said to be born out of thin air, brilliant talent, it is simply, demon!
