Chapter 203: Zhou Yu's conspiracy
The next morning, Yang Liang prepared to appoint Wu Yunzhao as the generalissimo, Wu Tianxi as the deputy marshal, and the three heavenly masters as the assistants, and raised 20,000 troops to conquer Songzhou.
But the officials of the clan in Jiangnan disagreed.
They are afraid that they will lose the battle, and when Liu Wen's army will kill and retaliate, then their industry is likely to suffer.
The court was arguing, but in the end, there was no result.
Yang Liang can only hate the scattered dynasty.
It's really boring for the emperor to be to his extent.
There will be a tool man controlled by Liu Wen.
Before they could come up with a result, Liu Wen had already learned the news that Yang Liang wanted to attack Songzhou through the tool man.
Then Zhou Yu and Jin Wushu were recruited into the Yin'an Hall of the Song Dynasty to discuss the matter together.
Zhou Yu said: "My lord, no matter who wins or loses between us and Yang Liang, it can only be regarded as a superficial victory, and it has little practical significance. ”
"Surface victory? Why did Gong Jin say this? ”
"If the lord can defeat Yang Liang, there will not be much loss for the Jiangnan clan. If the lord continues to wave his army south and pacify Jiangnan in one fell swoop, it will not be difficult. But what about the Jiangnan clan? They can still see the wind and rudder and surrender to you. ”
"I don't accept them, they are."
"If you don't accept them, there will definitely be rumors, which will make the lord lose the hearts of the people, and if the lord wants to seize the world again, it will be difficult."
"The hearts of the people? Can they represent the hearts of the people? ”
"Yes, the people's hearts are basically represented by these family valves."
Liu Wen felt slightly uncomfortable and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
"With the help of this war, weaken the power of the 'Wu surname' family."
"Oh?" Liu Wen immediately became interested: "How to weaken?" ”
"First show the enemy to be weak, pretend to be afraid, and want to withdraw the army to Jiangbei. When the Jiangnan family knows these news, they will definitely try their best to grab the credit. ”
"Yang Liang has no foundation in Jiangnan, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass have to be supported by the Jiangnan family, and the lord will continue to engage in a tug-of-war with them at that time. It's better to drag out this battle for a year or two. ”
"When the time comes, their private troops will confront you on the battlefield and will not be able to leave, not only will they have to consume a large amount of grain and grass to feed the soldiers and horses outside, but they will also delay the agricultural time, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the loss of the 'Wu surname' world."
"What if they withdraw their troops?" Liu Wen asked.
Then the lord annihilated the opponent's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. No matter which one is fake, the loss of a large number of parts, and the fact that it is still young and strong, is not a trivial matter. ”
"If one eliminates the other, the strength of the major families will be reshuffled. The lord is relaxing the suppression of them, which will inevitably lead to infighting among the major families because of the competition for interest space. ”
And Yang Liang also has people around him who can give him advice, and he will definitely be able to see through this strategy. For the sake of them and Yang Liang's interests, these people will definitely try their best to facilitate this matter. ”
Liu Wen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, this is up to you to arrange." ”
"Yes!"
When Zhou Yu left the Song Palace, he began to organize soldiers and horses and began the drill of the army's retreat to the north.
At the same time, he sent people to release some fake news, saying that Liu Wen knew that Yang Liang was planning to plot against him, so he would withdraw his soldiers and horses to Jiangbei and prepare to ask for a southern expedition.
Within a few days, the detailed work in Songzhou found out the news and reported it to the meeting.
After Yang Liang heard about it, he urgently recruited Yu Wenshi and discussed with Li Shimin.
didn't know that these two people were fighting in front of them on the surface, but in fact, their relationship was hot in private.
"These Jiangnan clans are really not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures! If you continue to drag it out, Liu Wen, the big fish, will run away! ”
"Your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "Liu Ziqiao is invincible in the world in martial arts, he must be arrogant and conceited, how can he withdraw because of a piece of news?" According to Weichen's humble opinion, he must have come to the Jiangnan clan when he made this gesture. ”
"Jiangnan clan? What do you mean? ”
"In order to grab merit, these Jiangnan clans will definitely support Your Majesty in sending troops, and when the time comes, they will arrange for their family members to participate in the war...... At that time, as long as Liu Wen drags on for a year or two, and then eats their soldiers and horses, there will definitely be huge losses in the strength of the clan, and it will turn from prosperity to decline. When the time comes, Liu Wen will return to the army to guard Songzhou, and he will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
"I see! Shimin, what do you say I should do? ”
"Pretending not to know, adding fuel to the fire, and suppressing the 'Wu surname' family."
Yang Liang heard that he said it was very much in line with his heart, and couldn't help but nod his head again and again with satisfaction.
Li Shimin was thinking: Songzhou's plan is unpredictable. With such an upright conspiracy, a reckless man like Liu Ziqiao would definitely not be able to think of it. Who is giving him advice? If I can win this person, then I will definitely have a better chance of winning in the future......
Just like Li Shimin thought.
Zhou Yu's plan is an upright plan, even if there are smart people in these families who see through it, they will not say anything about it.
On the contrary, those wise family leaders will try their best to promote this scheme.
Because only by stepping on other families will their own family have more room for development.
As for talking about the state.
For these families, there is no country, only home.
Hundreds of years of accumulated development experience, let them understand.
Although every king is suppressing the family, every king is also inseparable from the family.
Because the important ministers and favored ministers around these kings will eventually develop into families.
And the talents of Jun ** Ren are often from these families who have made meritorious contributions to the dragon.
Of course, compared to those fools who are bent on supporting a certain county lord.
Only the grass that can help the real heroes and lock the battle situation at critical moments is the most valued existence.
And the family that is good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder will continue to develop day by day.
It's like the "Wu surname" in Jiangnan.
Starting from the Eastern Wu, through the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, and the Chen Dynasty, it has been almost four hundred years, and some dynasties have all the royal families have been killed, but these families have become more and more prosperous.
Why?
It's not because I'm good at seeing the wind and ruddering that I know that I can't put my eggs in one basket.
For these families, as long as their own strength is still there, and it is growing, no matter who will be the emperor, no matter who rules Jiangnan, as long as they are superficially obedient, there will be no problem.
Therefore, for the sake of their own interests, some smart people even find ways to deceive their opponents.
Since then, in this small court in the south of the Yangtze River ruled by Yang Liang, before the abnormal war began, there was already an undercurrent surging within himself, calculating each other.
And neither the Wu brothers nor the three earth immortals of Qian Longbin have such an awareness.
Because the Wu brothers had another adventure, Qian Longbin wanted to use Yang Liang's strength to take down Liu Wen, so they all strongly advocated sending troops, and swore that as long as they could attack Songzhou this time, Liu Wen would die.
This time, Yang Liang did not hear any objections.
On the contrary, there were many officials of the family who strongly requested to lead their troops into the war.
Yang Liang was naturally very pleased to agree.
Within a few days, an army of more than 60,000 people left Huiji and headed north......
