Chapter 101: Survival of the Jedi (Part II)
The night faded, and the east slowly turned white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This early morning seems to be no different for the vast majority of people in Dachen, but for the people of Cangqi and Cangqi, it is by no means ordinary.
Because of Wen Bohou, he raised troops and rebelled.
Wen Bohou Li Sheng in the hands of the Zhendong army camp that night self-proclaimed Dongping king, set up the banner of Dongping Wang, Zhendong army changed its name to Dongping army, and served Dongping King as the monarch, a very small number of opponents in the army were on the spot, dead without a body.
When all the people in Cangqi and Cangqi were still asleep, the capitals of the two states were already full of blood. All the generals under Wen Bohou led the team respectively, and bloodied all the local court officials overnight with lightning speed, but all the local higher-level officials who were not loyal to Wen Bohou were not spared, and in an instant, the situation in Cangqi and Qi states was firmly controlled by the Dongping army in an instant.
When they opened their doors and windows to look at the streets, they saw a large number of cavalry troops with weapons pouring into the city, all of them looked fierce, and what was even more terrifying was that some of the soldiers' weapons were still dripping with blood. Someone looked up out of instinctive curiosity, but saw that in the soldier's hand, he was carrying a bloody necked head, and on the back of the horse behind the soldier, a neatly dressed corpse with no head was carried.
Where have ordinary people seen such a battle, some people are full of horror as if they have seen a ghost, and immediately close the doors and windows in a panic, and one staggered backwards and fell to the ground, his face was as white as paper, his whole body trembled, and he was trembling and unable to speak...... What's wrong......
Then the city gates were closed, the markets were banned, and all of a sudden, panic abounded. The once bustling and lively street has become uninhabited, everyone is closed, and the entire Cangzhou Mansion is like an empty city or even a ruined city.
At this time, Yuan Zhengmin and his entourage of imperial envoys had just crossed the border of Jizhou into the territory of Jizhou, and even if they put on their wings, they were already too late at this time.
Moreover, Wen Bohou had already openly rebelled, and if they hurried at this time, they would undoubtedly kill themselves.
At this time, the most timely response was Han Yu, who had already lurked in Cangzhou.
Of course, there is also Su Jin, who has the Jiang family, a medical family in Cangzhou, who delivered information in a timely manner.
On the night when Wen Bohou made up his mind to raise troops to rebel, Han Yuzheng took twenty people to find the address of Wen Bohou's private weapons according to the clues he obtained, but he didn't want to lose the best opportunity to get rid of Wen Bohou and his wife.
First, in order to facilitate secrecy, secondly, the Emperor Lingwei was already fine but not many, and the manpower brought by Han Yu was only about thirty people, although there were still more than a dozen people left in the city, but the incident happened suddenly, Han Yu never expected that Wen Bohou's blatant rebellion would come so quickly, and now the city gate has been blocked by Wen Bohou's soldiers and horses, and it is even more difficult to enter during the day, and the situation in the city is completely unknown.
No matter how powerful Huang Lingwei is, he is not a god, and the total number of people in her own group is only more than 30 people, but Wen Bohou has an army of 50,000 Zhendong, even if she sacrifices the lives of a hundred ordinary soldiers, it is not worth the life of an Huang Lingwei, of course she can't use the lives of these Huang Lingwei to fight against Wen Bohou's army.
But Han Yu naturally couldn't sit back and wait, she quickly flew pigeons to send a message to Jinling to report the mutation to Emperor Chen, and on the other hand, she directly used Emperor Chen's golden order to quickly convey urgent orders to the surrounding state governments and immediately mobilized troops nearby to temporarily prevent the expansion of Wen Bohou's army to the surrounding areas, attack the city, and aggravate the evil situation, and at the same time wait for the imperial court to send a large army to attack and exterminate the rebels of Wen Bohou.
I have to say that every coping strategy and small arrangements of Han Yu are in place to the extreme.
This is not difficult to explain why Emperor Chen would let a woman serve as the first mysterious guard in the world, the head of the Imperial Spirit Guard.
When he got the news that Wen Bohou had reversed, Su Jinzheng and King Qing were drinking tea and playing against each other in the newly completed new pavilion on the lotus pond in the front courtyard of the Jin House.
Su Jinling Bixi told the news in front of King Qing, of course, it was because Su Jinguang had already guessed what it was when she saw Bixi's look when she came in, so in fact, she deliberately wanted King Qing to know the news together.
Hearing Bi Xi say the news, Su Jin was extremely shocked, King Qing was like this, it was obvious that King Qing knew that Emperor Chen would no longer allow Wen Bohou to continue to control the 50,000 Zhendong army, but at that time, he didn't expect Wen Bohou to really raise troops to rebel, and it came so quickly.
But shock is shock, even though this result is indeed beyond King Qing's original idea, it does not prevent him from wanting to make this puddle of water more and more mixed, on the contrary, the effect will be better and more effective. So after a brief moment of shock, Su Jin keenly sensed a faint smile from the corner of his lips, even though he thought he had concealed his emotions well.
King Qing frowned, his face was cold, he slammed it on the stone table, and said angrily, "This Li Sheng, my Fourth Emperor Brother has always treated him leniently, and the Third Emperor Sister is even more so, but now they will raise troops to rebel, how can they do such a rebellious thing!" ”
Su Jin smiled and nodded, "Smack...... Syllable...... ......"He didn't speak, but he suddenly clapped his hands.
King Qing looked up at Su Jin in surprise for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, as if his unsightly thoughts had been exposed to his face, and his face was a little unnatural, "This time, Wen Bohou and the eldest princess of Zhao'an raised troops to rebel and mess with my big Chen Jiangshan, Miss Su didn't worry but laughed, and even clapped her hands, but why?" ”
Su Jin sneered in his heart: Why? Naturally, it's your ability to control your emotions and disguise yourself!
Of course, you can think like this in your heart, but you can't say it like this, "Su Jin high-fived, of course, it was to celebrate the arrival of the perfect opportunity for you to boost your own power, and I sent my congratulations in advance!" Su Jin smiled and replied slowly.
This is a tact, but the meaning is that I don't understand it. King Qing smiled, and secretly said that he was really a villain, how could Su Jin be such a person!
After a game of chess, Su Jin feinted to lose, King Qing discussed with Su Jin about the current situation and future plans, etc., and consciously had an epiphany, hearty, and then happily left the Jin Mansion and went back to start making detailed and thoughtful plans and arrangements.
It just so happened that Su Jin also had to make his own arrangements.
"What is the situation in Cangzhou now?"
"Wen Bohou raised troops, Cangqi and the two states were originally the places where Wen Bohou's forces were entrenched, and the 50,000 troops in Zhendong have been under his full control for seven or eight years, and almost all of them have developed a family soldier who is not for the imperial court but only for Wen Bohou, this time Wen Bohou rebelled, and the Zhendong army has undoubtedly become Wen Bohou's weapon!
"Now these two states have been controlled by Wen Bohou, and the Zhendong Army has actually fought on the battlefield, and Wen Bohou himself is also an outstanding general, and the defense line he has set in the direction of the imperial court is difficult for even a fly to cross. The court does not have a large army, I am afraid that it is not to try to quell the rebellion, this time, Emperor Chen should regret his green intestines! ”
Su Jin smiled faintly, "He does want to regret, but what does he regret?" It's not that he regrets that he is in a hurry to completely reverse Wen Bohou and his wife, he just regrets why he didn't start earlier, why he didn't kill them after they ran out of use that year, but let them sit big to this day! By the way, Uncle Jiang, how are they? Did the letter mention it? ”
Bi Xi nodded, "The letter said that except for the ban on entering and leaving the city gate in the whole city, the Jiang family is not in a big problem for the time being!" Thinking about it, Master Jiang, they must also know how to do it, and they have always been independent of government and business, so they shouldn't be able to move the Jiang family! ”
Su Jin thought for a moment, and then said, "Immediately reply to Uncle Jiang, let them protect themselves, and try not to get involved in this matter if they can, if the rebels of Wen Bohou exert violent pressure from above...... Then they can give whatever they want, and sooner or later they will spit it out anyway. And they are local families, and their reputation in Cangzhou is not low, and if you think that these Dongping rebels will at most forcibly levy some money, medicines, supplies, etc., they will not be moving! ”
Bi Xi nodded, "Bi Xi understands!" ”
.......
Cangzhou, Wenbohou Mansion.
is different from before the decision to raise troops, the current Wenbohou Mansion is not, it should be called Dongping Wangfu, in short, the current mansion is in full swing.
However, the premise is that they have their own opinions on the next plan and disagree, but no one can convince anyone, so in the end, it turns into you arguing and spitting.
The group of generals below kept arguing, and Li Sheng, who was dressed in black, sat in the upper seat without saying a word, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his face was ugly as you can imagine.
"We now control the two states of Cangqi, and then to the west are Huangshui and Jizhou, to the north is Huaiyang, to the south of Taizhou and Yingzhou, these five surrounding cities in addition to Huaiyang to the north have about 10,000 troops and horses stationed on the border, not to mention the adjacent two states of Yingying in the south, that is, the two states in the direction of the western court, the soldiers and horses that can be put together are only seven or eight thousand, and we have more than 50,000 troops and nearly 60,000 troops, are you still afraid of them?"
"Hmph, of course they're not afraid, but what do you think of them? We have 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and we have sufficient reserves, but we don't have the imperial court? The imperial court is not only there, it is countless times that there are us! We have now openly raised troops to rebel, do you think the court will let it go? Now I'm afraid that the emperor has already issued an order to transfer troops, and is mobilizing troops from all directions to exterminate us! ”
"Hehe, General Cao said this funny, there are many soldiers and horses in the court, but where are those soldiers and horses? Prince Rong has 150,000 in his hands, right? Let's triple it! But he is in the Beishu Desert Pass, and a back and forth is more than half a year, but the army on the edge of the town still has to defend the Huns, even if it is adjusted, how much can it be moved?
"There are 200,000 imperial troops in the imperial capital Jin Mausoleum, which is also a lot, right? But how many can be mobilized at will, 80,000 or 100,000? Can he not hesitate to shake the protection of the imperial capital?
"The husband of the eldest princess of Zhaoning in the south, Ding Wengong, has more than 20,000 more flexible troops in his hands, but those southern troops are also suppressing water bandits, taking mountain bandits, and then thinking about how to sleep with women all day long, many generals may not even have seen a few killings, General Cao thinks that with them, they can also be compared with our battle-ridden Dongping army?!"
General Cao sneered, "Governor Yang is right, according to your calculations, it seems that we can really sit back and relax when we erect an anti-flag here and set up the king on our own, but don't you forget, when the Huns waved 100,000 iron troops to invade the pass, they were still able to be beaten by Da Chen's soldiers and horses and retreated outside the pass, and now we are reversing, it is no different from the enemy country that seized his two cities, think about it, how will the imperial court deal with us?" Do you think it's really as you think, and the imperial court doesn't dare to send troops on a large scale? ”
"Hmph, even if the imperial court really sends troops on a large scale, is it possible that our Dongping army is vegetarian?! This hasn't been fought yet! Could it be that General Cao is afraid of this, and he is about to retreat? Grow the enemy's morale! I don't know if I thought you were a lobbyist from the imperial court! ”
"Yang Jie, what are you talking about! I, Cao Lu, swear to follow the Lord to the death, but it is you, what do you want to say such irresponsible sneering words......
"Enough!!" Li Sheng Huoran got up and scolded angrily.
Everyone was stunned, and all voices stopped abruptly.
Li Sheng swept over the people below with an expressionless face, and said coldly, "You have discussed so much one by one, for so long, have you come up with the next response plan?!" ”
The faces of the people were a little stiff, but they were all silent.
The silence continued, and finally, Yang Jie boldly stood up and stated impassionedly, "Lord, according to the subordinates, now while the imperial court is still unable to turn around for a while, we should make full use of such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to quickly take over the surrounding cities and expand the scope of our control, and when the imperial court reacts, we have already won the initiative to control, and at the same time, our power can also be rapidly increased, and then we will fight against the imperial court, and it may not be impossible to win!" ”
Li Sheng smiled faintly, didn't say yes, didn't say bad, just said, "What about the others?" General Cao, the disagreement between you and Inspector Yang just now seems to be very big, so since Inspector Yang has already said his plan, you might as well talk about yours! ”
Cao Lu's heart was strained, and after a moment of deliberation, he stepped forward and said, "Back to the Lord, my subordinates think that although we don't seem to have much threat for the time being, or even a little advantage in time and distance, but in the long run, this approach is disadvantageous, because no matter what, our strength is limited, especially compared with the huge strength of the imperial court, and if we expand the scope of control, not to mention that we will have to pay a lot of price in the middle, just in terms of the spread of total troops, This is actually harmful to our defense, because our subordinates think that the more we expand while our foundation is still completely solid, it will only weaken our ability to resist, which we still have an advantage in. ”
Li Sheng smiled faintly and said, "So, what does General Cao mean?" ”
"Strengthen the defense, maintain the status quo, and, replenish the reserves." Cao Lu said.
"That's it......" Li Sheng smiled faintly, his eyes swept over the rest of the people, and said shallowly, "Then, what else?" Don't tell me that you've been discussing it for so long, but the only countermeasures you can think of are attacks and retreats that anyone can think of with their toes, do I want you to think about it so simple?! ”
Everyone's faces turned pale, and finally bowed their heads wordlessly. (To be continued.) )
