211 Build high walls, gather up grain, and slowly reign
At the beginning, I thought that if I sent someone to quietly kill that Liang Zhixian, there would be nothing to do. As a result, unexpectedly, not only did they not kill them, but even the assassins sent out fell into the hands of the imperial court.
In this way, whether it was because his son was lost and returned to Defu City, or he sent someone to kill Liang Zhixian, these charges were not trivial, and they were like rebellions, so he had no choice but to take this step.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Zuo Liangyu and sighed in his heart. Things are people, this soldier of the year is the one who really doesn't take the court in his eyes and has the heart of rebellion!
But now there is no way, both of them are grasshoppers on a rope, so they can only advance and retreat together.
He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a soldier running up from under the city, kneeling down and announcing to Zuo Liangyu: "Marshal, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and other five-way people and horses have pulled out the camp and headed south last night, and it seems that they are heading towards Kaifeng. ”
"What?" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was immediately furious, and immediately scolded, "Damn, you really don't ...... me"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Hou Sui and said, "They really don't take you as a governor seriously!" ”
Hou Sui wasn't particularly angry, thinking in his heart, don't you respect me as much as you used to!
I was called Engong at the beginning, but now I am called you, you, you!
Before he could speak, the soldier who reported the news suddenly said: "The court has issued a decree, saying that we are thieves and will exterminate us!" ”
"What?" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of disbelief, "The imperial court has torn its face, where do they have the confidence?" ”
In fact, he had long expected that there might be such a day! However, he also felt that with the situation of the imperial court, there were not many troops available, so he could only coax him to continue to suppress the thief, and if he was liquidated, at least until the world was peaceful, or the thief was almost dead.
can be his many years of military experience, the thieves have already sat down, and it is basically impossible for the court to exterminate the thieves! Therefore, the possibility of the court asking him is very low.
However, he didn't expect that the imperial court suddenly withdrew the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong outside the Guan. This is equivalent to an extra army in the hands of the imperial court.
For a long time, the combat power of the Guanning Army has been famous in the process of suppressing thieves. Whether it is Cao Wenzhao, Zu Kuan and others, they were all transferred from the Guanning Army. Even Zuo Liangyu himself was born in the Guan Ning Army, so he knew how strong the Guan Ning Army was.
However, fortunately, the main task of the Guanning Army in the internal evacuation of the pass was to garrison the front line of the Great Wall to deal with the invasion of Jianyu.
Hou Fangxia's matter, for him, is actually nothing, and there is nothing wrong with destroying that Liang Zhixian. I didn't expect it, but it was exposed.
The most important thing is that the results of the Battle of Songjin made him smell a harbinger of strict military discipline in the imperial court. When he heard that He Renlong had been killed, he knew that his previous thoughts were not safe, and it would be his turn to be next.
And the reason why there are so many changes in the court is because an inexplicable Xingguo Duke suddenly appeared in the court. Zuo Liangyu instinctively felt that this Xingguo Guild wanted his life.
Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but sneer: What did he say when he sent someone to the army to convey the impeachment of the civil officials of the imperial court to himself, and he had to defend himself! Hehe, do you still need to defend yourself in your own affairs? Obviously, he already had the idea of killing himself, and he really didn't know it!
He was thinking about it, but Hou Sui was shocked, although he was determined to be a rebellious thing by the imperial court, he also expected it, but when the news really came, he was still a little difficult to accept.
However, after a while, he was already mentally prepared, so he quickly came back to his senses and immediately asked, "Those five people really have to go to Kaifeng, instead of hiding and waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack us?" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu also came back to his senses and stared at the probe horse.
If it's just a journey, he won't care at all. However, the five roads of people, that is, tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops, this force, even if there are not many cavalry, is not trivial. Before, he wanted to swallow these five people in the name of Hou Sui, the governor, then his strength must have increased greatly.
"The subordinates chased after them for a long time, and confirmed that they had been going south." The Ming army didn't accept it at night, and now it's the anti-thief who probed the horse and immediately announced.
When Hou Sui heard this, he turned his head to look at Zuo Liangyu and said, "In this way, Kaifeng is in danger. ”
Speaking of this, he frowned, feeling a little wrong: "But Xiao Yuanying has already gone north, and he has the intention of threatening the Jingshi, why does the imperial court ignore it, does it still depend on us, isn't this already condemning us as anti-thieves?" ”
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was also a little puzzled. He immediately alerted: "It should be that Xiao Yuanying has the possibility of not becoming a threat to the land of Gyeonggi!" Damn, the court can't have something out of nowhere, right? ”
As he spoke, he immediately sent more people and immediately rushed to Baoding to inquire about the news.
Seeing that he was done with this, Hou Sui asked Zuo Liangyu with a worried face: "Now that we are anti-thieves, what should we do next?" ”
Zuo Liangyu listened, but he didn't particularly care: "As long as you have soldiers in your hands, I'm afraid that he will be a bird." ”
This truth is correct, Hou Sui listened, nodded, and suddenly said to Zuo Liangyu: "Or, we will also go south to Kaifeng and contact the Chuang Wang's department?" ”
"No way!" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he immediately vetoed, "I have fought with him for so many years, and I have already formed a mortal enemy. And the most important thing is that this Li Zicheng already has ambitions, we will throw it over, and if we don't do it, we will be swallowed up by him! ”
"What about the five battalions and the eight kings in the south?" Hou Sui listened and asked again.
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he still shook his head and said: "Almost, they are all old opponents, and they have deep grievances!" After so many years of fighting, none of these people who can survive are good stubble. ”
When Hou Sui heard this, he didn't speak again, but frowned and thought.
In the city, the burning, killing and looting continued, but at this time, Hou Sui didn't care at all.
After thinking for a while, his face slowly became ruthless, and he said to Zuo Liangyu: "Then let's plan for today, just see how that little Yuan Ying moves!" If they really want to fight the Jingshi, or make a big deal in the land of Gyeonggi, it depends on whether there is a chance, if it is possible, to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, then we will live! ”
Zuo Liangyu listened, turned his head to look at Hou Sui, nodded and said, "My lord's words are reasonable, and I think so too." ”
has been an official of the imperial court for so long, of course, he knows how convenient it will be for him to wear the skin of the imperial court. It was not for nothing that he shouted "Qingjun side" before.
Although this is very unlikely, it is always necessary to try whenever possible.
However, this idea was extinguished after a few days, because he received a quick horse return from Xiao Yuanying's side.
"What?" Zuo Liangyu was shocked when he heard this, "The imperial court wants to recruit Xiao Yuanying?" ”
Hou Sui also frowned and said: "Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and rebelled, and the imperial court is going to recruit rebels again, is this a rush to the doctor?" ”
"Marshal, the Shangshu of the Imperial Court Military Department is leading the Beijing camp to Baoding, and the Xiao Yuan camp is all shrinking, and there is no intention of fighting, waiting for the imperial court's recruitment!"
Hearing this, Hou Sui finally figured it out and said to Zuo Liangyu: "No wonder Xiao Yuanying suddenly turned around and went north before, and he made a big fanfare, it turned out that he had already saved the meaning of being recruited!" It seems that this thing is really true! ”
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, it was like burning his buttocks, he couldn't sit still anymore, and walked back and forth in the hall of the mansion. Just after a while, he said to Hou Sui with a worried face: "My lord, if Xiao Yuanying is recruited and joins forces with the imperial court, we will bear the brunt of it, so what can we do?" ”
It has been said before that the possibility of his side uniting with the thieves is very low, and the risk is very high. Now that he is so good at dying, he originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Xiao Yuanying's attack on the land of Gyeonggi to pick up a leak or something, but he didn't expect it......
Hou Sui frowned and thought for a while, as if he had made a decision, looked up at Zuo Liangyu and said: "If it is a troubled time today, the imperial court, the thieves, and the foreign prisoners are all likely to win the world in the future." And among them, the thieves are divided into four or five pieces. The best way for us to deal with it is for the snipe and the clam to compete for the benefit of the fisherman. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed and immediately asked: "My lord, of course it is excellent for the snipe and the clam to compete for the benefit of the fisherman, but how should we compete for the profit of the fisherman?" ”
At this time, scholars, especially those who have been officials, are very important.
I only heard Hou Sui say to Zuo Liangyu: "Avoid the Central Plains, let them fight in the Central Plains, we learn from the strategy of Taizu back then, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, in order to win the world!" ”
Later, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he obviously felt that he had a point.
As soon as he heard this, he was very tall and very good, Zuo Liangyu immediately became excited, and between his words and deeds, he was a lot more respectful to Hou Sui: "Engong is saying, let's avoid the Central Plains, where to go?" ”
Hearing this familiar title, Hou Sui glanced at Zuo Liangyu and felt a little emotion in his heart. But at this time, he straightened his attitude and said: "In the future, don't call me any kindness and adulthood." I, Hou, am just a powerless scholar, and I am willing to be the military advisor of the handsome and help the handsome achieve the cause of the king! ”
Hou Sui knew very well in his heart that this army was all listening to Zuo Liangyu, and he, the governor, was in name only. Now that it has become a rebellion, the governor is gone. Therefore, before he offered advice, he wanted to correct his position first, otherwise, if he was embarrassed, there might be problems.
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was overjoyed. Achieve the cause of the king!
Thinking like this, he was not hypocritical, and immediately nodded in agreement: "If there is really that day in the future, I, Zuo Liangyu, swear to the sky, the hereditary prince of the military division, will never be treated badly!" ”
