Chapter 699: Yang Dong plotted the North Town Army
The Tang Army and the Beizhen Army fought in the area of Xiangyang Yin City, and before it was opened, the Black Ice Platform had already sent the information to Yang Tong, but Yang Tong didn't care too much, the desperate struggle between the Tang Army and the Beizhen Army would only fulfill the Great Sui, whoever wins and who loses is the same, he just needs to act as a spectator. In his opinion, no decision made by Li Yuan now could not save the fact that Li Tang's national strength was inferior to that of the Great Sui, and any decision was a rhythm of death.
As for his 'Saint Martial Thirty-six Tiangang', it sounds very second, but it is also very loud and very popular. After all, the pursuit of fame and fortune is the goal that most people pursue in their lives, and how many people are really indifferent to fame and fortune? Everyone studied hard and practiced martial arts hard, isn't what they want is to assist the British Lord, serve the country and make a name for themselves, and hold power? If you become one of the 'Shengwu Thirty-six Tiangang', not only will fame and power follow, but also be as famous as the 'Yuntai Twenty-eight Generals', when later generations talk about the Shengwu Dynasty and study the Shengwu Dynasty, the 'Shengwu Thirty-six Tiangang' is a character that cannot be avoided. Isn't this what I want in my life?
When Yang Tong announced in the early dynasty, all of them had red eyes, from the important ministers of each ministry to the adjutant officials of each ministry, and praised Yang Tong's wisdom with green eyes, praising him as a rare Ming monarch and holy lord in ten thousand years. Everyone is even more excited that the people selected for the 'Thirty-six Tiangang' will be assessed by the people, and then counted their merits one by one by the imperial court, and then the candidates will be announced, and the people will say no, they will be returned for retrial, on the other hand, as long as you have enough merits, good enough reputation, and enough love from the people, you will have the opportunity to become a Tiangang.
Of course, everyone also knows that some people are Tiangang who can't be shaken, such as Yang Gongren, Yang Shanhui, Wei Yunqi, Fang Xuanling, such as Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin...... However, some of the twenty-six princes were given the title of dukes after following Yang Dong for a long time, and they did not have much merit in themselves, and their fame may not be as high as that of an ordinary general, which means that the competitiveness of some princes is very low.
However, of course, Yang Tong also took this into account, if the initial list sent did not pay silently, but there was a great contribution to the civil and military, he naturally wanted to make the other party's credit public, and then evaluated by the people, in the final analysis, the decision is still in the hands of Yang Tong, the reason why the people elected Tiangang is nothing more than to stir up the 'Shengwu Thirty-six Tiangang', when the whole people pay attention, it is difficult for the 'Shengwu Thirty-six Tiangang' to be honored.
Regarding the heated discussion and excitement of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Yang Tong not only did not feel worried, but was happy to see it.
Because fame and fortune, especially fame, have always been something that people dream of. Why is the ten-year cold window? Isn't it just to "become famous all over the world in one fell swoop"? And a good name is not necessarily bad, if everyone abides by the adage of 'life and death, small name and big festival', then the concept of personal fame and fortune is consistent with the interests of the country. If everyone has a concept of fame and fortune that keeps pace with the interests of the state, not only will the individual's abilities be brought into full play, but the whole country will be full of vitality and the nation will achieve more comprehensive and rapid development. Therefore, as long as fame and fortune are not obtained by means of harming others and benefiting oneself, they should be appreciated and encouraged.
But the consequence of the 'Thirty-six Tiangang of Shengwu' is that the generals in front keep coming to Luoyang, who is it? Naturally, it was Li Yuan.
Especially Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Wei Chigong, they also knew whether they felt that their position as Tiangang was not very secure, or in order to strive to be at the top, they would send a letter almost every day.
"These guys." Receiving a joint letter from Xinye again, Yang Tong handed over the letter of request to Yang Gongren with a smile, shook his head and smiled: "Everyone is crazy." ”
"Pseudo-Tang can't be used for the time being." Yang Gongren roughly swept it and handed it to Wei Yunqi: "The puppet Tang Dynasty is currently in civil strife, and Li Yuan is at war with the Beizhen Army, if we intervene in the puppet Tang civil war too early, the Beizhen Army will definitely be able to survive, neither achieving the goal of eliminating the Guanlong forces, nor weakening Li Yuan, but also losing troops and generals, why bother?" In Weichen's opinion, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is our best choice. ”
Wei Yunqi saw the words 'please fight', he didn't bother to read the content, so he handed it to Yang Shidao, frowned and said: "Although this is a fighter, if it goes in too early, it will only make Li Yuan retreat into Yizhou in advance, not only will we not be able to annihilate the Tang army in Jingzhou, but also may scare off the Tubo people, once they run back to the grassland, it will be a hundred times more difficult to annihilate than now, if we annihilate it in Yizhou, or Jingzhou, Langri Zampu will not have the strength to deter the various departments, and Tubo will eventually be like the Turks, Falling into a state of fragmentation is in the interests of my Datang. ”
"At the beginning, my Great Sui only had Jizhou, Jizhou, and the northern part of Bingzhou, and I was able to beat the Turks with millions of people who controlled the strings to the ground. Now, except for Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Jingyang counties, the world is in the hands of the Great Sui, and with just an order from the saint, a million heroes can crush the Tang army into powder with a thunderous force. And just Tubo is just a small trouble for my Great Sui, but for the people of Yizhou, it may be a huge disaster. led foreign races to poison the people under his rule, and Li Yuan was really a sinner of the country. Yang Shidao sighed with an ugly face, as the secretary of the Ministry of the People, he naturally didn't want Yizhou and Jingzhou to experience too many wars, and it would be best if he could recover them peacefully, but judging from the matter of Li Yuan's alliance with Tubo, Li Yuan was determined to resist stubbornly, and it had reached the point of attracting foreign races into the country, and a big war was inevitable, but the people of Yizhou and Jingbei were afraid that it would be difficult to protect them under the war.
"If it is not broken, it will not stand, Yang Shangshu does not need to be too anxious, I have ordered officials from all over the country to open the checkpoints, so that the people of Jingzhou can enter the country and survive, I just hope that there will be fewer deaths."
For Li Yuan's helplessness, Yang Tong, who is in the same position, can actually understand, in fact, as long as there is a little way, it is estimated that Li Yuan does not want to take the step of introducing foreign races into the country, let alone wants his territory to experience war, but the struggle for hegemony is a road of no return, Li Yuan can't retreat if he wants to, and how can there be a real paradise in this troubled world? Among the thirteen states in the world, Yizhou is the most stable. But as long as Li Yuan moves the capital, the war will also sweep to Yizhou; And even if Li Yuan did not move the capital, Yizhou's national strength was also emptied to Xiangyang by Li Yuan, so no matter what, the situation of Yizhou's national strength being exhausted and people's livelihood withering could not be avoided. He looked at Du Ruhui, who was silent, and asked, "Keming, you were the top student in high school that year, and I met with you, Zhang Xuan, Xu Jingzong and others, do you still remember what you said when you met?" ”
"I can't recall the original words, but the meaning is very clear." Du Ruhui thought for a while, and then said: "Wei Chen said at that time that with the momentum of the saint, the majesty of the soldiers and horses, and the sophistication of the equipment, if you want to dominate the world, there should be no problem, but the saint has started to play a big game of chess since the thirteenth year of the great cause, and the entire pattern of the world has changed with the growth of the saint, and the status of the scholars has been affected by the most serious impact since the Han Dynasty. If the saint is in a hurry to send troops, the princes from all walks of life will share the same hatred with the scholars, even if the saint sweeps the world, the foundation of the scholar clan is still there, and it will take a lot of time to govern it later, and it will even take a generation or two to completely weaken the foundation of the scholar clan. If it is too early to dominate the world, the scholars will descend to Sui, and the saint has to accept it for the sake of the peace of the world. If it is delayed, the scholars will either be destroyed in the struggle for hegemony in the world, or they will be weakened to the extreme by various forces, and it will not only be much easier to unify the world at that time, but also because the Han scholars will occupy positions at all levels, there will be no more problems of the scholars controlling the imperial court. ”
"It's rare for Keming to remember it so clearly." Yang Tong smiled, and said to Yang Shidao: "The Jiangnan Shi clan was eradicated by Li Mi, a part of the Kwantung Shi clan was annihilated by Chen Zhiluo in Song City, and the Guanlong nobles were being cleaned up by Li Yuan, but under the rule of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, there are also the Kwantung Shi clan headed by Pei Lian, Zheng Shanguo and others, as well as the Southern Shi clan led by Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, and the strength is not not strong...... Li Yuan seized their soldiers for his own use, which was to weaken them, and the Guanlong nobles played the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and the purpose was also to eliminate them. When the civil strife in the puppet Tang Dynasty ends, the strength of the warriors will be weakened to the extreme, and it will be much easier for us to clean up at that time, a hundred steps, we only have ninety-nine left, if we are in a hurry to take the last step, the previous ninety-nine steps will be in vain. ”
"Wechen knows that 'extermination' is an established national policy, but he just thinks of those people, and he can't bear it." Yang Shidao said bitterly.
"Casualties are inevitable, but as long as these nobles and nobles are here, the battle to change the dynasty once in a hundred years will occur, and the war damage caused by sweeping the whole world will be much more than now." Yang Tong said.
"The Holy Lord said that he laughed, my Great Sui will definitely be able to last for generations." Yang Gongren said solemnly.
"Thousands of generations are like 'long live, long live, long live', which is both a good wish and a bluffing nonsense. People will not live to live for a long time, and the Great Sui will not be able to live for thousands of generations. Yang Tong smiled and said: "The general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, which is reasonable." ”
Everyone was speechless, although they all knew that what Yang Tong said had a certain truth, but this was a topic that would cost people's lives, and no one dared to answer at all.
Yang Tong naturally knew everyone's concerns, and suddenly changed the topic: "Although we can't send troops for the time being, we can't sit still, as far as I know, most of the generals of the Beizhen Army have no battle formations, should we send a few battle-hardened generals to help them?" ”
"It seems unnecessary, if our general folds there, the loss will be great." Yang Gongren frowned
"I thought I could give it a try." Wei Yun bowed and said: "The Beizhen Army should have arrived in Xiangyang a long time ago, but they are afraid of each other, it can be seen that they do not have a specific charter, and they have a kind of hot-headed attitude of raising troops, if there is a general of our army to help them plan the battle situation and help them get out of the predicament." It must be very popular, and our enemies are all Li Yuan, and they have no reason to detain our people. ”
At this time, Du Ruhui suddenly thought of a solution, and said with a smile: "If there is a letter of recommendation from Dugu Cheng, all problems will not be a problem." ”
"You can leave this to 001." Yang Tong looked at Ling Jing, "After getting Dugu Cheng's letter, send it directly to Xinye, and ask Su Dingfang to take five generals who are very capable of fighting to help a group of Beizhen troops, and also let them be careful not to get themselves in." ”
Ling Jing took this single-minded emperor method and tried every means to defeat the old man, and said with a wry smile when he heard this: "Weichen will go and issue an order." ”
"This matter is arranged by Ling Shangshu." Yang Tong nodded.
"Wechen retired." Ling Jing bowed and retreated.
"Holy." Not long after Ling Jing left, Yin Mingyue walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "There are students from the Luoyang Academy Palace who have entered the palace to ask to see them, and Mr. Liu Xuan, the Taifu, is critically ill, and I hope to see the saint." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their faces froze.
Yang Tong was stunned, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go together." ”
