Chapter 433 Can't Reverse It Yet
Half a month was enough for him to do a lot of things to quell the Beihai rebellion. For him, using force to destroy the rebels was not the best option.
After all, from the very beginning, he knew that this huge army was made up of refugees, and they were displaced and forced to flee to the North Sea, which was really a helpless move. He couldn't bear to kill this group of people.
Since he had led the refugees down the path of the uprising, he had to think about them and resolve the large-scale war peacefully. Therefore, there must be a temporary truce first.
Yang Jing no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed, "Okay!" Since you say so, even if I risk my life, I will fulfill my promise and delay enough time for you! ”
Ren Zhen stood up in awe, stood up and saluted him, "So it's hard work, I thank you for hundreds of thousands of soldiers first!" ”
Yang Jing didn't know why, so he got up, a little cramped, "...... are you?"
Ren Zhen smiled but said nothing.
For the sake of prudence, he can't fully trust Yang Jing and tell the whole plan and the whole plan. It is also a relatively safe choice to let this person withdraw from the army and stop fighting, and there is no need to worry about the other party's deception.
Seeing this, Yang Jing didn't ask any questions, but he didn't say goodbye, and said loudly: "This good meeting, the excitement is not shallow, it is rare to reunite the rivers and lakes, and there are a few heartfelt words below, I want to say and listen to the princess." ”
When he said this, he glanced at the begonia next to him with his spare eyes, obviously hinting that Ren Zhen should hold his back and right.
Ren Zhen saw it in his eyes and smiled faintly, "Mr. has any advice, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Yang Jing's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "When we first met, I asked what the path you were going to take, and you didn't talk about it at that time. At that time, although there were external troubles, fortunately, the internal situation of the imperial dynasty was still stable, and your situation was stable, so I can't say anything more.
Times have changed, but today they are very different. The heroes rose together, the world fought against the military, the court was already in danger, and the overthrow was only in the morning and night. Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? Imagine, once the capital is breached and the dynasty is gone, how will you deal with yourself in the future? ”
As he spoke, he observed Ren Zhen's face.
"Of course, don't get me wrong, I don't want to persuade you to defect, let alone question your military talent, I just think that the Wu clan has lost the support of the people and is an enemy in all directions, you should also leave a way out for yourself, there is no need to die and bet on that woman."
He simply thought that Ren Zhen was willing to work for the empress and live and die with the Wutang Dynasty.
Ren Zhen blinked, silent, "What do you want to say?" ”
Yang Jing didn't judge the emotion from these words, so he simply got straight to the point, "I want to say that if you have a large army in your hands, you will take the initiative, and you don't have to show your position too clearly to offend other forces." You can sit and watch the wind and water rise, advance and attack, retreat and ......"
When he said to advance, he pointed to the north, and when he said to retreat, he did not say any more, but with a hard slap of his right hand, pointing to the south.
Ren Zhen understood, and raised his eyebrows, "Let me rebel too?" ”
Yang Jing was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "I didn't say that. However, looking at the overall situation, in terms of the distribution of troops, you can be regarded as the seventeenth way. ”
There are a total of sixteen roads in the martial arts army, and as long as Ren Zhen is willing, of course he can become the seventeenth road.
Ren Zhen sat back on the main seat, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yang Jing thought he was hesitating, and took the opportunity to agitate: "Standing on your own is definitely better than sending people under the fence." You were born and died for the court, even if you are done, what can you gain in the end? It's nothing more than a rabbit dead and a dog cooking, and a bird hiding its bow.
However, if you choose to wait and see, confront the Beihai rebels, sit back and watch the Central Plains, and subvert the Wutang Dynasty, then you will become a prince, and the strongest one!
On the other hand, if the imperial court uses thunderous means to transfer all the southern armies back, even if you can pacify many righteous armies, you don't have to worry about the imperial court asking for guilt, after all, it is you who blocked the most ferocious Beihai all the way, not only without fault, but also meritorious, isn't it a foolproof strategy? ”
These truths, Ren Zhen's heart is clear, but he doesn't show it. It is rare that Yang Jing has this heart, and wants to give him advice and find the most sensible and safe choice.
He looked up at Yang Jing and asked, "In your eyes, what is the best situation for the Northern Tang Dynasty?" For my own selfish interests, I let the heroes divide and return to the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the people are not happy, so am I not a sinner through the ages? ”
Yang Jing was speechless.
Ren Zhen continued: "What you think about in your heart is just to save the refugees in front of you, have you ever thought about saving the entire Northern Tang Dynasty?" If I take your advice and watch from the sidelines, causing chaos in the world, then I am no different from the Wu Clan you want to fight. ”
Yang Jing came to his senses and replied awe-inspiringly: "No, Engong thinks about the common people, and this is fundamentally better than that woman." If you can think so, you must be the best candidate, and I would like to support you as the king! ”
After that, he knelt down in front of Ren Zhen with a pious posture.
Ren Zhen leaned over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Get up!" I have received my will, but I do not need your allegiance. I have my own judgment and will not follow the path you offered. ”
It is true that he wants to depose the empress, and he does not want the Northern Tang Dynasty to be in turmoil. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have to take the trouble at all, just lead the army to revolt. If he wants to keep the Northern Tang Dynasty and try his best to avoid the formation of troubled times, he must first pacify the rebels, and then kill King Qin back in the capital.
He will not watch from the sidelines, lest he not be chaotic. His original intention was decided, and in the next half month of the truce, his target was not the capital in the south, but the lair of the rebels - Beihai.
He Chen Baipao can think of a surprise attack, can't I really think of it?
As long as he sneaks up on the Yellow Dragon and destroys the Beihai lair, the rebels here will lose their foundation. After the food and grass are cut off, the rebels will be in chaos without a fight, and the refugees will lose the motivation to join the army, so they can only surrender obediently.
The soldier is fast, and he must act quickly.
Seeing that his proposal was rejected, Yang Jing's expression darkened, and he got up and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't talk anymore." Don't worry, I'll go back to the camp and talk to Guo Kang about the retreat! ”
With that, he saluted and took his leave.
Looking at his distant figure, Haitang, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said softly: "Actually, his suggestion is not unreasonable, you don't need to meddle in the affairs of the rebels." ”
She could see that Ren Zhen led the army to face the Beihai rebels, not acting, but to move seriously. Rather than fighting to defeat both, it is better to be false and wronged and become a prince.
Ren Zhen smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, if you want to support the new monarch, you have to be right." Kill Wu Qingyi, and the throne can only fall on the Gao family. This trip to Beihai, I had to go. ”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light bloomed, "Beihai has been dormant for many years, and it has always been the heart disease of the imperial court, and I dare not take them under the knife." This time, I will go in person, and I must use both grace and power to cure this stubborn disease! ”
Haitang pondered and asked, "Listen to what you mean, has the emperor been selected?" ”
Ren Zhen nodded, and did not hide anything in front of her, "It is the widow of King Xiang Gao Cheng, and he is still in Qiuwei Mountain." I will send someone to pick him up, and then take him to Beihai, so that the world of the Northern Tang Dynasty will recognize the Lord! ”
