Chapter 872: Sunrise in the East (97)
Tian Yuan was crumbling, in the small study, the guards who were monitoring Niu Ben looked at each other, the news brought by Niu Ben was so shocking that their first reaction was that this guy from Liaoxi was a liar.
"Lord Tian, do you think that I am not thousands of miles away, let several horses run away along the way, and risk my life to stop you on the street, just to ridicule you? Niu Ben was happy in his heart, but his face was silent, "You can not believe me, but I think that in a few days, Tian Ergongzi will step into the border of Qi with tens of thousands of troops, if he returns to Linzi, I am afraid that the situation of the eldest prince will not be too good?" "
Tian Yuanyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Gao Yuan Gao Du Du didn't be so kind to inform me, did he? Tian Yuan said coldly.
Niu Benha smiled, "The eldest prince is right, in fact, I worked hard to inform the eldest prince, and naturally I didn't have any good intentions, but so what?" Unless the eldest prince is high-spirited and bright, he is willing to give up the huge Qi country to the second son, with the temperament of the second prince Tian Fucheng, I am afraid that the eldest prince will want to be a rich man and will not be able to get it, as long as the eldest prince is ready to die, we naturally have nothing to do, it is just a dignified and upright scheme, not a trick."
Tian Yuanyuan's face turned a little blue, and he looked at Niu Ben, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable killing intent.
"Does the eldest prince want to kill me? Niu Ben said disapprerovingly: "I think it is more valuable for the eldest prince to leave me than to kill me, Tian Fucheng returned to the country, with at least sixty or seventy thousand elite troops on hand, and the strength that the eldest prince can rely on is very limited, when the time comes, I am afraid that we will need to provide some assistance from the Eastern Mansion, if we are happy, when the time comes, it is not impossible to give you some troops to the eldest prince?" "
Tian Yuanyuan's eyes flashed, "According to what you said." The 70,000 or 80,000 troops led by my father are besieged by you in Liaoxi, what price do I have to pay to let your father return? "
"This is not something I can decide," Niu Ben shook his head and said, "I need you to talk to the Governor of the Governor, if the eldest prince has this idea, we can provide this channel."
Tian Yuan was silent for a long time, as Niu Ben said, Gao Yuan This is an upright Yang scheme, Tian Fucheng will lead the army back, he will inevitably kill himself to establish his position as the first person in the Qi country, if he succeeds, he is afraid that his father will never return, what Gao Yuan wants is to start an internal conflict between himself and Tian Fucheng in the Qi country. And he takes advantage of it, although he understands it in his heart, but what can he do, will he be tied?
Looking at the triumphant Niu Ben, although he was full of killing in his heart, he knew in his heart that this person could not be killed.
"Sir has worked hard from afar, please go down and rest first, specific things. I will consult with the ministers before making a decision," he said to Niu Ben in a slow tone.
Niu Ben arched his hand and said: "Okay, please hurry up, Tian Fucheng's tens of thousands of troops, in order to keep it secret." I will definitely work day and night to gain time, and now every bit of time is very precious for the eldest prince. The eldest prince has a lot to do! "
Tian Yuanyuan arched his hand speechlessly, and watched Niu Ben stride away.
An hour later, in front of the gate of the fieldhouse. The carriage was already parked, and a large number of important ministers hurriedly stepped into the mansion of Tianfu one after another. Tian Yuan was summoned in the middle of the night, although the envoy was vague, but everyone knew that something very big must have happened, and now, the biggest thing in Qi is Tian Dan's move to cut down Yan, a few days ago, there was still good news, and the country was jubilant, how could things have reversed in just ten days?
Walk through the door of the farmhouse with endless doubts. Only half an hour passed, and the military generals who had just entered the door left Tianfu in a hurry again, and this time everyone's expressions were not only in a hurry, but also with countless solemn meanings.
The silence of Linzi suddenly turned around, and a group of soldiers drove out of the barracks, and the horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and ran in all directions.
This night, countless families in Linzi were broken into by the army, and these people were arrested and sent to the prison without saying anything, and even the king of Qi in the palace was also closely guarded.
When the sky was light, Tian Yuanyuan, who had not slept all night, walked into the palace with puffy eyes, and walked into the palace to gather ministers.
Last night's purge was another cleansing, in Linzi City, Tian Fucheng's manpower was swept away, which made Linzi firmly in his hands, and also made him breathe a sigh of relief, obviously, Tian Fucheng in order to keep secrets, even these loyal people in Linzi, did not notify, otherwise last night's action would not have been so smooth.
At the same time as controlling the national capital, one after another orders came out of Linzi, and rushed to all the towns where Tian Fucheng's return road must pass, and Tian Fucheng fled from the battle, causing the Qi army to be trapped in Liaoxi, and the crime of danger was edicted to the world, calling on all the people to fight it together, and to discuss it, and strictly ordered all counties and counties to retreat and strictly guard, and the imperial court was about to send a large army to fight against the thieves.
In all fairness, Tian Dan's army was trapped in Liaoxi, in fact, it had little to do with Tian Fucheng, it was just Tian Dan's own judgment error and intelligence failure and led to the battlefield failure, but here in Tian Yuan, it was described as Tian Fucheng framing the army of Qi in order to usurp the throne, and he was a heinous man, and this edict has the endorsement of the king of Qi, so naturally there are still some credibility.
In the hearts of the ordinary people of Qi State, the King of Qi is still the supreme storage zài, and the strength of Tian Dan only exists between officials and nobles, but in fact, in Qi State, Tian Dan's reputation is very good.
With the edicts all over the country, the anger of the people can be imagined, nearly 200,000 troops went out to the Yan country, the road was smooth, even the country of Yan was occupied, but suddenly, subversive news came, if this is not someone inside the water, how can there be such an ending, this is the most simple cognition of the people. These 200,000 troops are 200,000 families, and millions of people are concerned, how can people not be angry?
All of a sudden, Tian Yuanyuan's conscription plan received unprecedented support. In just a few days, an army of nearly 50,000 people was re-recruited, plus the troops left behind and the garrison troops in Linzi, Tian Yuanyuan actually gathered 100,000 troops in a short period of time, although these troops are far less than the army brought back by Tian Fucheng in terms of combat effectiveness, but if you add public opinion and Tian Fucheng's reputation on the streets in China, it has to be calculated separately.
As for the unlucky King of Qi, he could only die in his own palace. It's a day of chaos, for Tian Yuan's request, he is responsive, Tian Dan is trapped, his life may not be guaranteed, although he is happy, but he also knows that even if Tian Dan can't be done, he is afraid that it will be difficult to turn over, no matter who wins the two brothers of the Tian family. He won't end too well, in comparison, he still hopes that Tian Yuanyuan won, because Tian Yuanyuan has a better reputation. Like Tian Dan, although he is ambitious, he wants to save face and lining. Otherwise, with Tian Dan's power, he would have sat in his current position a long time ago. If you replace Tian Fucheng, I am only afraid of the first time. This rough man in the army would go straight to the top of the main hall, cut off his head with a knife, carry a bloody steel knife, and sit in his seat in a dignified manner.
It's better to lose both, he thought with malice in his heart.
And Niu Ben, after successfully informing Tian Yuancheng of the news, witnessed a series of operations by Tian Yuanyuan as a spectator, and admired the methods of this Tian family's eldest son, watching him gather a large number of troops, and successfully made Tian Fucheng's reputation stinky in the country, he left Linzi with Tian Yuanyuan's handwritten letter and returned by waterway.
Walking on the road, thinking of Tian Yuan's servile words in front of him, begging the Eastern Army to open up the net, put back Tian Dan and the trapped Qi soldiers, and promised to pay a large amount of ransom for the process, Niu Ben couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, silver, isn't it what our governor wants to get?
When Niu Ben used to walk in the dark, he also knocked on people's bamboo poles, but he never dreamed that one day, he could actually knock on a country's bamboo poles, and the other party had to laugh with them for fear of offending himself.
This kind of pride makes Niu Ben on this road, often waking up with a smile in his dreams, so that his entourage looks at each other, how did his boss go to Linzi, and when he comes back, he becomes so nervous?
Take a boat back to the base secretly built by the sailor, it is an isolated island about dozens of miles offshore, on a small island with a radius of dozens of square kilometers, the mountains are endless, but there is a natural extremely hidden bay, this was once the base of a pirate gang, but under the attack of the four extra-large ships of the Eastern Army, it has long been wiped out, and the pirate gang that stayed on the shore is in the hands of Bai Yucheng, the ancestor of the horse bandits, and there is no power to fight back, this harbor and the pirate stockade on the shore, All of them have become trophies of the naval division of the Eastern Army, and after several months of transformation, it has been transformed into an unsinkable ship with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
"Miss, all the situation is like this, the civil war in Qi is inevitable, we can take advantage of the fisherman." Niu Ben happily reported to Ning Xin about the trip to Linzi, "Tian Yuanyuan is also a person, and his reaction is extremely fast, it seems that Tian Fucheng can't get much better."
Ning Xin, who has lived in the harbor for several months, her fair face has obviously darkened, and her energetic outfit has added a lot of Yingshuang, listening to Niu Ben's words, she chuckled and said: "It's good for the two to fight together, anyway, as far as we are concerned, whoever loses, let's go to help them, knock Tian Yuan first, and then knock Tian Fucheng when the time is ripe, and then knock Tian Fucheng, left and right, if you don't get all the benefits, you can't let the civil strife of Qi end Luo."
"In this way, we won't take Qi Guo in a short period of time? Bai Yucheng touched the thick beard on his face and asked.
"Of course not, there are several big battles in a row, the Zhengdong Mansion is about to be emptied, and the people's power has reached the limit, and finally there is a place where you can work hard to get benefits, how can you take it lightly, if we take it, but it will be difficult to start, or let the Tian brothers get enough benefits for us first, so that when they get angry and resentful in the country, let's clean up the mess again, at that time, it is easy to clean up people's hearts, and second, let these two brothers fight exhausted, Wouldn't it be better for us to go to the fisherman again to make a profit? Ning Xin smiled lightly, but the words she said were murderous.
"Poor Qi people, poor Tian family! Bai Yucheng touched his beard and said teasingly: "This is really sold by us, and you have to help us count the money!" "
"General Bai, there will be chaos in the Qi country, you also just take the opportunity to act, the pirates we took before don't have to stay, kill them all, from now on, you are the leader of this group of pirates, take their identity, land ashore at the right time, obtain a place, and secretly develop your strength, so that when we conquer Dongfu and attack Qi in a big way, as an internal response."
"I understand it under .! Bai Yucheng said solemnly.
"Miss, this matter is over, you also have to go back, the order from the governor is in the order, but it is clearly required that you return to the mainland immediately, the chaos in the Qi country is imminent, even if we are here, it will not be too safe."
Bai Yucheng smiled, "Vice Dean Ning, you really should go back, maybe the next time we meet, I will call you Mrs."
"General White! Ning Xinqiao's face was flushed, and she glared angrily at Bai Yucheng, but Bai Yucheng laughed and turned around and ran out. (To be continued......) R1292
