111: Intrigue and rudeness
The superior sometimes needs white lies and useless actions to push something meaningful.
Qin Yue's appearance seems to be leisurely, but he is also forced to do so, because the current situation in Yizhou is passive.
As the saying goes, if you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game.
Taking the initiative to conquer the west and planning to seize Qianzhou were all taken under passive circumstances.
And although Qianzhou successfully led to the internal collapse of the Yang clan under An Guoyan's clever plan, and Qianzhou was also taken by the other party when the six gods were masterless, but the entire fifty fetters of the state, if they want to straighten out government affairs and stabilize the situation, it will take at least half a year, and I don't know how long it will take to return to the heart.
Qin Yue also had to deny that the fire that Song Jiuzhong lit in his backyard was a good move, but the joint attack on Shu by Dali was a bit beyond the bottom line.
But fortunately, Song Jiuzhong still has a lower limit after all, and he did not contact Tibet, otherwise Daqin would really sing the embattled song.
In such a passive situation, Qin Yue has to bear the main responsibility, because he has never had the concept of an alliance with Dali in his heart, and looking at Yutu, he thinks about how to bring the people living on this land back into the embrace of the motherland.
Li Gu and Wang Shu are also responsible, because their political thinking is much higher than that of Qin, but they still have a bookseller in their hearts and disdain to be in the company of barbarians.
The book business is so angry!
While performing leisurely, Qin Yue reflected again.
As soon as he arrived at Qionglai Pass, the whole division immediately threw himself into combat preparations.
Before the Dali soldiers arrived, Wang Yanchao took the opportunity to level two barbarian villages, and then set up two wooden villages outside the city, with Lizhou as the arrow, Qionglai Pass as the skeleton, and the Zhaoshan leopard on the snowy mountain as the tail wing, forming an arrow-shaped defense system.
The battle must be fought, and the mine supervisor must also be guarded, and the copper mine supervisor in the snowy mountain is almost the lifeblood of the imperial court, and there is no room for failure.
In the military discussion, there are only three people, Wang Yanchao, Quan Shixiong, and Mr. Shen.
"General Quan is here, what does Your Majesty have to say?"
"In this case, everything is respected by Wang Shuai, the last general and the 5,000 soldiers led by him obey his orders, and this time he sent the last man in the future, only because he had dealt with Tibet, and he knew a little about the habits of those natives, and hoped to help the handsome."
Wang Yanchao said with a smile: "Between you and me, how can I see the outside, the word "general", don't mention it again in the future." ”
Quan Shixiong also smiled: "Then you're welcome, Wang Shuai is not polite, just give an order if you have something to ......."
The atmosphere of the meeting was very relaxed, which made Wang Yanchao breathe a sigh of relief, although his qualifications and official positions were higher than him, but in the new dynasty, he was one step behind him, so when he received the news from Kuaima, he had some small pimples in his heart, but now it seems that he is too careful.
The 5,000 elite soldiers brought by the division were allocated 4,000 to the battalion, and he only brought 1,000 men and horses to garrison Qionglai Pass as a backup to protect the lifeline of the Yali Erzhou and Daxueshan copper mines.
No fighting, no seizure of power, no interference, so much so that Mr. Shen was a little surprised.
What's even more surprising is that the Dali army, which had already been assembled in Jianchang Mansion, did not appear for a long time.
Because Gao Fangfu, the commander of Dali, is waiting.
It wasn't until Kuaima Fei reported that the Eastern Route Army had passed the Shimen Pass, and Gao Fangfu issued the general order to set off.
Sending troops to attack Qin was actually a gamble for the Gao family.
As long as the country is stable, this expedition, for his Gao family, no matter whether it wins or loses, it is beneficial and harmless, and if he really loses, he will be charged with a labor failure, and he will retire, so that the old father who is in a wheelchair will go out of the top of the mountain for another half a year.
The so-called gambling is a gamble on the confidence of the fat who sits on the throne, and a gamble on the ambition of the Yang family of the former Ming royal family who lurks in the mountains of Jianchuan to lick his wounds, so he has half of his mind in the country, and he has to wait for the East Route Army to leave the customs before acting.
And Duan Siming, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, also has the same thoughts, although his army is small, it is composed of the elite of the royal family and the local soldiers of the pro-royal family, in fact, he is more worried about the domestic situation than Gao Fangfu.
The two sides were patient, and as a result, they began to gather troops in the first month, but it was February 18 when they really came out of Shimen Pass.
Historically, the reason why Dali has been content with the status quo for a long time is also because of the result of the long-term containment of the imperial system and the related system, Duan's Confucianism established the country, and the long administration of benevolence, so the orthodox status is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But the Dali soldiers are very strong, thanks to the former Southern Zhaoguo, which has been fighting against the Tang Dynasty for more than half a century, and there are frequent wars in the country, and the blood of being brave and ruthless has been implanted in the minds of the soldiers.
……
Dali soldiers out of Shimen Pass.
Jiayin Yaowu Anyi.
He was ordered to rush to the aid of Rongzhou, which is located in Yandao (Yibin), located at the confluence of the Mahu River (Jinsha River) and the Yangtze River.
Across the river, all the Yi bureaucratic departments, the former Wang Shu set up two in the south of the Yangtze River, an Anyi, a Suiyi, along with the survival to this day, both are built according to the mountain, each has a garrison of five hundred, but there is a large flat in front of the barn, used as a field, a small set in five days, a large set in ten days, convenient for the Yi bureaucrats to buy and sell daily necessities.
In fact, Jiayin's command to lead the army was relatively easy, and Mu Yun's strategic arrangement for him was to wait in Rongzhou City, defend and counterattack, and not let the enemy cross the river.
Ke Rongzhou was already under the command of Shi Cheng, and all the defenses were properly arranged, and his temperament became perverse, but he was more focused on military affairs, but there was little smile on his face.
Jia Yin couldn't get used to his cold face, and took the initiative to cross the river to attack the barbarian village, which was contrary to the strategic plan.
Because the barbarians in the south of the Yangtze River did not "oppose", they paid tribute in full last year, which is different from the situation in Yali and Lizhou. Now that Dali has sent troops, in addition to the two departments of Wumeng and Wusa, which are close to Dali, actively raise the flag in response, the Yi Niang Department, the Ah Tou, and the Manbu Department are all on the side, and the Yi Xi Department, which is closest to Rongzhou, said that it was "firm" on the side of the imperial court.
Most of these ethnic groups are still the same, and those small holes and small villages are like grass falling down.
Jia Yin understands these barbarian family members very well, they don't want to fight, but their own strength is small, Daqin doesn't dare to provoke it, and Dali can't afford to provoke it, so they are caught in the middle, so they can only be a wallgrass.
If more envoys are sent, more exhortations, and the court appropriately gives a face concession, the Dali soldiers may not be able to get out of Shimen Pass. But this is to drink to quench your thirst, whether it is Qin Yue or Li Gu, Ziguang Pavilion unanimously vetoed it during the discussion, saying that it is difficult now, but it is not yet time to give in, and bad habits cannot be cultivated.
How Dali or Meng Chang behaves is their business, and we have to be tough.
Therefore, at this time, the war has not yet started, and there are more than 100 large and small tribes in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is still inconclusive who will oppose and who will not.
Jia Yin is anxious, Shi Cheng is actually more bloodthirsty than him at the moment, but he is not as good as Jia Yin, and his relationship with Qin Yue is so iron that there can be no taboos in case of trouble, so he must not make a plan to stir up the wind in his ears when he is full of wine and food.
Huzi, we have to strike first, those barbarians, rattan for armor, bamboo poles for guns, which is our opponent, but if they gather into a momentum, it will be difficult to do.
Jia Yin was the wind in his ears for the first time, and the second time he explained one or two euphemistically, and the second time he was ready to move, blowing the cold wind in the city, crooking his neck and thinking about the idea for a long time, and then came up with an idea of "challenge".
If you have the ability to defeat Lao Tzu, you will be a grandson if you don't have the ability.
Then send four red feather messengers to spread the word to all departments:
An Yi in front of the competition,
The winner speaks, and the loser is a minister.
