Chapter 1523: Seize the Fighter

In any case, it is a great joy for a woman to be pregnant!

In this era, ordinary families still pay attention to inheritance, and no descendants are great, not to mention the most noble family in the world?

After the news spread, the entire Jiedu envoy inside and outside the palace was full of jubilation.

After Yang Wushuang heard the news, he couldn't help touching his chin and said with a smile: "After the heavenly family, the whole world celebrates." ”

Liao Shanhe didn't speak so eloquently, he grinned and said, "If it's another handle, it should be the seventh son of the emperor, right?" ”

Yang Wushuang just smiled and didn't say anything, he was in the powerful General Staff, and he always followed the principle of prudence in words and deeds, not saying more than half a word of gossip, and never mixing in the housework of the heavenly family.

The affairs of heaven are decided by the emperor. Those of them who are courtiers only need to be loyal and reliable, plus they can do errands with a solid heart.

The more royal things are mixed, the greater the risk of losing your head, and you must be cautious.

Since Zhang Sanzheng served as the commander of the Guards, he has spoken less than before.

As Li Zhongyi's unusually trusted confidant, Zhang Sanzheng always remembered what the emperor once said: If you are in an important place, it is better to be silent!

What kind of joke, dare to spread the royal private affairs everywhere, it is simply the birthday boy hanged himself, and he is impatient.

As for Song Yunxiang, who was sitting alone, he wouldn't get into that trouble and say more than half a word that shouldn't be said.

Song Yunxiang, who held the rank of general in the west, led tens of thousands of elite border troops to guard in Lingzhou in the northwest, and belonged to a proper border commander with real power.

Since the fall of the late Tang Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion, the "glorious" deeds of military generals usurping the throne and killing the lord have happened repeatedly, countless.

Because Yin Jian is not far away, after the establishment of this dynasty, no matter how much the emperor's trusted henchmen and handsome, they will be stared at by countless vigilant eyes, and it is impossible to relax at all.

Unlike Yang Wushuang, Liao Shanhe and others, Song Yunxiang was originally just a small state official in Lingzhou, and he was not from the Hechi Township Army.

After the establishment of this dynasty, the officers who were born in the Hechi Township Army were all reused. Among them, there is no more first-class officer, and even if he mixes badly, he is at least the deputy commander of a certain battalion.

In today's Han army, the origin of the Hechi Township Army has become a golden signboard for the emperor's henchmen and pro-army.

The person who follows the dragon from the river pool means that he is the emperor's real own person, the descendant of the lineage, and the henchman of the henchmen!

However, what Song Yunxiang admired the most was not the emperor's great martial arts, but his broad mind like the sea.

Li Zhongyi often has a sentence on his lips, which Song Yunxiang has always remembered: the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great!

Replaced by an ordinary monarch, with Song Yunxiang's non-descendant background, it is almost impossible to appoint him as a border commander who is in charge alone.

However, today's saint not only reused Song Yunxiang, but even sent his two sons to Lingzhou, so that the three of them could guard the northwest frontier together.

What kind of courage is this, and what kind of trust is this? Song Yunxiang is convinced, and he is convinced, and he has no two hearts!

However, what made Song Yunxiang feel strange was that Liao Shanhe, who was also not born in Hechi, dared to be so presumptuous?

Facing Liao Shanhe, who was open-mouthed, Yang Wushuang couldn't say anything on his lips, but his heart was like a mirror: this person seems to be vulgar, but he is an extremely rare guy with great wisdom.

After the imperial court forbidden army was expanded from the Sixth Army to the Sixth Chamber, Liao Shanhe, who was not born as a dragon from Hechi, was able to firmly occupy the throne of real power as the commander of the Sixth Chamber.

Among the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial court, those who dare to joke and gag with the emperor unscrupulously in front of everyone are Liao Shanhe!

Coincidentally, among the main generals of the six compartments, Liao Shanhe made the most mistakes, and the number of times his butt was kicked by the emperor was also the most.

Perhaps, the number of kicks is also an extremely rare relationship between kings and ministers, right?

Now, Hanzhou has been won. There is a ready-made code of conduct for such matters as raiding the granaries of the government treasury, cracking down on local tyrants and inferior gentry, appeasing the people, and so on, so there is no need to say anything more at all.

Yang Wushuang, Song Yunxiang, and Zhang Sanzheng, the important generals of the army, gathered in the temporary residence of the General Staff Department for only one purpose: to discuss the next battle plan.

After fighting a battle, summing up a battle, and discussing how to fight the next battle, this is already an old rule, and there is no need to say more.

According to the regulations, the power to formulate battle plans and the right to transfer troops and horses at and above the battalion level are under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Department.

As a legitimate secretary of the General Senate, Yang Wushuang was naturally the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the army broke through the city, the division received a military report from Li Yong in Chengdu. According to Li Yong's report, he had already laid out a suspicious plan to temporarily bluff the main force of the Shu army in Chengdu, so that it did not dare to abandon the city and flee westward. Yang Wu held a slender wooden stick in his hands, pointed in the direction of Chengdu, and gave a detailed introduction, "According to the report sent back by Xizuo and the situation of Li Yong's reconnaissance, I think that the top priority is for the army to quickly move south from Hanzhou and rush to the city of Chengdu day and night. As long as Meng Chang and the main force of the Shu army are surrounded in the city of Chengdu, a battle can be fixed in Bashu. ”

Concise and clear, this is the unanimous opinion of everyone present!

"Not long after our army broke through the city, when Chengdu received the news, Meng Chang was in a panic, and he always had to find someone to discuss countermeasures. If our army pulls out one part now and immediately marches south to Chengdu, it will be possible in one day. At that time, Meng Chang'er could not escape. Liao Shanhe's reaction was not slow, and he gave his opinion on the spot according to Yang Wushuang's analysis of the battle situation.

Song Yunxiang has been on the northwest border of the town for a long time, and under his command, there are tens of thousands of the most elite Han cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty.

The various tribes in the northwest, in order to compete for fertile pastures, always pinched the time of the Han cavalry's dispatch when they fought each other.

Whenever a large force of Han cavalry came to suppress it, the arms fighting between the various tribes in the steppe had either been divided into winners and losers, or they had retreated to avoid the edge of the Han army.

In fact, with Song Yunxiang's ears and eyes on the grassland, how could he not know about the private fights between tribes?

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

To put it bluntly, every time Song Yunxiang sent troops to suppress the fighting between the tribes, without exception, he deliberately arranged to arrive late.

In Song Yunxiang's view, the deeper the hatred between the various tribes in the grassland, the better, the more ruthlessly they kill each other, and the more adult strong men in each tribe die, the better.

Li Zhongyi once privately instructed Song Yunxiang that he could sit back and watch the vendetta between the various tribes, but he would never allow the tribes to merge with each other.

In a word, the grassland tribes that vainly attempt to use the war to engage in annexation are the real enemies of the Northwest Han Army, and they must be completely eliminated without mercy!

Due to the northwest of Jiuzhen, the cavalry commander Li Yong, that is, Tuoba Yong, what kind of person Song Yunxiang is, can be said to be clear.

According to Song Yunxiang's previous knowledge, the Shu horses in Shu were too short to be suitable for being pack horses, not for charging into battle.

In other words, the Shu army had never seen the large-scale cavalry used on the grassland, adopting the tactics of wolf pack harassment.

With more than 10,000 Han cavalry under Li Yong's control, even if the main force of the Shu army left Chengdu, it would definitely be firmly dragged by Li Yong, and he would not be able to get rid of the harassment and guerrilla attacks of the large cavalry.

Therefore, although Liao Shanhe's proposal was correct, it also exposed his weakness of not being good at commanding light cavalry battles.

Let professional talents do the most professional things, which has always been Li Zhongyi's principle of employment.

In other words, promoting and reusing Li Yong and making him responsible for commanding the cavalry in battle can be described as knowing people well and doing just right.

Zhang Sanzheng served as the commander of the Guards, and the main responsibility of the Guards was to protect the emperor's safety!

Therefore, before Zhang Sanzheng came to the meeting, he had already made up his mind, as long as it was not related to the emperor's safety, he would not speak lightly.

After Yang Wushuang saw Liao Shanhe speak, Song Yunxiang didn't speak for a long time, and he understood a little in his heart, Song Yunxiang was a border commander with military power, and he must have more scruples in his heart, and he didn't dare to express his position easily.

"Song Shuai, what do you mean?"

Song Yunxiang can pretend to be stupid, Yang Wushuang's duty lies, he can't help but ask Song Yunxiang's opinion.

"What Liao Shuai said is very true, and a certain family admires it very much." Song Yunxiang has been a border commander for many years, and he has been fighting with the grassland barbarians all day long, which is naturally extremely slippery.

Song Yunxiang shook a shot, seemingly with a clear attitude, but in fact he didn't say anything.

Yang Wushuang couldn't help but smile slightly, the four of them had a small meeting, Zhang Sanzheng acted as a stuffy gourd, and Song Yunxiang was slippery, obviously waiting for him and Liao Shanhe to take the lead in coming up with a battle plan.

"I think that what Liao Shuai said is very reasonable, and the plan for today is to quickly send troops to reinforce Li Yong, and be sure to surround Meng Chang and the main force of the Shu army in the city of Chengdu, so as not to let them flee westward, so as not to leave trouble." Yang Wushuang unequivocally supported Liao Shanhe's views.

"Seconded." Before Yang Wushuang's words fell, Song Yunxiang had already stepped forward and expressed his attitude.

"A certain family also thinks it is feasible." As long as it is not a matter of mobilizing the guards, Zhang Sanzheng will not obstruct it.

After the four of them reached an agreement, the senators of the General Staff Department quickly drew up a detailed battle plan.

After Li Zhongyi looked at the battle plan, he said with a smile: "Since there is a General Staff Division, everything is on the right track." ”

No matter how you answer this, it's very embarrassing, Yang Wushuang can't just brag about it. He simply pretended not to understand, looked at the emperor blankly, and silently waited for the emperor to speak.

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, all of his henchmen and important ministers were the best of the best, and none of them were stupid.

"Since everything that should be considered has been considered, and your plan is very thorough, then it is decided." Li Zhongyi thought for a moment and added, "Order Liao Shanhe to rush to the city of Chengdu within twelve hours and join Li Yong's cavalry troops." ”
