Chapter 397: Stalemate Stage
It is still within the ultimatum period, and there is a shock everywhere in Sanshan Qizhai!
They really don't understand, after being low-key for two years, why Wang Yan, who does not have superior troops, can suddenly call out the entire Three Mountains and Seven Villages?
"Wang Yan is crazy! He planned to take away a wave of burials before he died! ”
This sentence is the evaluation of Cao Shouyi, who got the news from the Suide Fortress in the rear.
But the incident is not subject to anyone's will, they think that Wang Yan is crazy, or that Wang Yan is going to blow himself up, that is their business. There won't be much time left for choice and decision-making now.
Because Funing County has entered a state of war mobilization, and the two cavalry musket battalions of the Funing Army, led by Quan Berlin and Zhanzhao, have also been officially deployed to the east, close to the Mizhi first-line area.
The two battalions of Ma Jinxi and Chen Ergou advanced far northeast of Funing County and approached the Qingbian line, basically cutting off the trade lines between the strongholds of Sanshan and Qizhai and Yongle City, the free market.
Combined with Wang Yan's rather tough shouting ultimatum, there was a completely cloudy atmosphere.
Di Yong led two battalions, in cooperation with the propaganda backbone of Funing County, as well as many sinicized party members in Funing County, and went deep into the Golden Triangle area in the northwest of Funing County to disperse to do propaganda work, and no one knows the effect of propaganda for the time being.
But the treacherous and cunning Cao Shouyi has a bad feeling about this, thinking that Sanshan Qizhai pills. This battle does not need Wang Yan to do too well, but because the three mountains and seven villages are too poor, so it all depends on the enemy's support, Cao Shouyi thinks that there is a high probability that Wang Yan will win.
But if Wang Yan wins, then many people will take pills. The Ye family, the Cao family, including the border forces of Western Xia, and the religious forces of the Chengtian Temple lineage, all need to suck blood from the Golden Triangle region of Sanzhi, and Sanshan Qizhai is the agent.
So Cao Shouyi vaguely felt that this time it was all about interests, and Wang Yan's crazy son of a gentleman was jealous of everyone's interests and he couldn't share them, so he raised troops to play hooligans.
Cao Shouyi thought that it was okay to talk about it, and the business in the world was only a matter of price, and there was no deal that could not be reached, so he secretly sent people to the Sanshan and Qizhai areas to contact, asking them to calm down and restrain for the time being, not to kill people with arrows first, and it was best to send representatives to negotiate interests with Funing County.
At the same time, Cao Shouyi wrote to the Privy Council to impeach Wang Yan, and at the same time, a thousand cavalry of the Suide Army drove out of the fortress and advanced to the line of the Dali River in the direction of Funing County to investigate the logic of the murder of 300 people in Linxia City, like a backstab, waiting across the Dali River.
No one knows what Cao Shouyi is trying to do. But Cao Shouyi's situation of sprinkling salt on this wound can also make Funing County panic, which is a thorn in the flesh.
This is not a national war, and Li Shen has no jurisdiction on the surface, so Li Shen can only always scold Da Yan in Jingzhao Mansion: "That little thief is really crazy, let go of the good environment of peace and don't develop, don't let go of the opportunity to return to Beijing to receive merit, he just wants to keep the northwest of me messing around, and the one who will mess with the world in the future will be this little thief!" And that Cao Shouyi is not a good thing, no matter what, Wang Yan's behavior is the behavior of the government, and it is a siege of heresy and robbers. He Cao Shouyi deployed a thousand cavalry in Linxia at this time, what did he want to do! I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic! Wang Yan is indeed not a good person, but if my Great Song army is defeated because of Cao Shouyi, the old man will not let go of this family Tartar! ”
For this reason, Li Shen wrote two private letters to Cao Shouyi, asking him to withdraw from the army.
However, it was useless, at the beginning, Li Shengang was only Wang Yan, the son of Funing County, and he did not have the command power on the surface, which led to Li Shen's prestige plummeting, and now Cao Shouyi does not withdraw the army, and Cao Shouyi can take out the documents entrusted by Suide County to investigate the "Linxia Three Hundred Murder Case" to prevaricate, so far, it has fallen into a stalemate stage......
As the head of the Yongxing Military Road, Chong E also received a private message from Li Shen and monitored Cao Shouyi's deployment.
But it was very helpless, and the Suide army could not interfere with it even if it was not a large river. First of all, the Suide army did not violate martial law, and secondly, it happened that it was because Wang Anshi Xiangye's martial law order in the early stage broke up the command of all large group armies, so even if General Chong'e knew that Cao Shouyi's approach was definitely tired and problematic, he could not interfere.
This is not surprising that the Yongxing Army Road Shuai Division is not a real military unit, but only a theater command. That is, the concept of a group army, which consists of various combat modules with a certain degree of autonomy. Cao Shouyi is the module, and the seed is the headquarters.
At special times, the military will not allow the centralization of power, and each module will receive a request of "not accepting military orders" and will be directly managed by the Privy Council. This is what Wang Anshi's martial law order led to.
Therefore, at this juncture, without the special authorization of the Privy Council, Chong'e does not have the command power against Cao Shouyi.
At the same time, when the atmosphere of the national war was tense in the early stage, Chong E was impeached by Wang Yan's traitorous ministers, and he was cleaned up by Lao Sima, and he held his old anger in his chest, and now he doesn't want to care about Wang Yan's affairs.
Because in Chong'e's view, Wang Yan's action to suppress bandits is redundant and can be avoided, and this is not only a problem for domestic interest groups, but also very likely to trigger military confrontation in Song and Xia again. This is a kind of disgust, and he also thinks that Wang Yan is crazy......
At the same time, the clouds were moving in all directions, and Lu Huiqing urgently entered Jingzhao Mansion to circulate and was dealing with the officials of the Yongxing Military Road Criminal Division.
Lu Huiqing took advantage of Wang Anshi's name and said it very seriously, and scared these extremely timid bureaucrats of the Criminal Division.
What does Lu Huiqing want to do, he wants to focus on the incident of the group of people joining forces to sell Funing County cheaply, and strengthen the public relations and criminal department, wanting to get the judicial authorization to arrest Cao Shouyi.
This is very difficult to do, on the one hand, it involves a large group of powerful people in the buttocks, and it is also facing the coercion of the old king of the court. On the other hand, Cao Shouyi is not an ordinary general, he is the cousin of the current queen mother, a major general in the northwest.
The chaos in the capital a while ago was something that everyone was afraid of, if it happened again, and the emperor didn't ease his breath and really made a big deal, then the world was equivalent to the world of the Cao family.
Therefore, Lu Huiqing's maneuvering is also equivalent to attacking the fortification, and it is easy to take it down, which leads to a mess in the Yongxing Military Road Criminal Division, which is divided into two views that cannot be balanced, some people think that the Cao family must not be offended, and some people think that the Wang family cannot be offended.
It seems that the stalemate is unbearable, but in fact, Wang Yan's intention of sending Lu Huiqing to Jingzhao Mansion for public relations is not really to get authorization to arrest Cao Shouyi at all. Wang Yan's real intention is to make this fake show, so that the Criminal Investigation Department will inevitably reveal the news.
When Cao Shouyi knew that Wang Yan planned to "arrest Cao Shouyi across regions" at the political level, then his old Cao's mentality would inevitably be affected and would inevitably be put in the spotlight. At that time, the Funing Army could rest assured that he would suppress the bandits and scare people Cao Shouyi, but under the spotlight of all parties, he would never dare to really do anything.
This is the deployment of the overall tactic......
