Chapter 325: Preparedness

Chapter 325 Response Preparation

Since Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yang Guang no longer trusted those capable and prestigious old generals, and did not dare to let them run the army for a long time, fearing that they would become another Yang Xuangan one day, or even more than Yang Xuangan.

Therefore, he turned to a new generation of generals who were not well-known. However, since the chaos in the world, there are no capable generals around him, and even if there are, he can't believe it.

And Yuhua and Sima Dejiao were not famous, talented, and loyal to him on the surface, so Yang Guang relied on them as his confidants and made them senior generals of the Praetorian Guard.

After going south to Jiangdu, Yang Guang was disheartened, had no intention of taking care of the government, and handed over all political affairs to Yang Qi to be responsible.

At this time, Yuhua He was trying to please him, and he was very loyal and obedient, so he trusted Yu Hua and gave Yu Hua and greater rights.

Similarly, in order to balance Yuhua He, Yang Guang also gave Yuhua He's opponent, Sima Dejiao, greater rights. Today, Yu Huahe and Sima Dejiao have become the chief and deputy generals of the Praetorian Guard respectively.

During this time, Yuhua and Sima Dejiao fought fiercely with each other, and often proposed to Yang Guang to cut some generals from the other camp, Yang Guang believed in the struggle between the two, and his heart was even more happy, so he also agreed to most of their proposals.

At this time, Yang Guangcai remembered that under the proposal of Yuhua and the two, most of the generals of the Praetorian Guard had been replaced, and those newly replaced generals were all proposed by the two of them.

At this time, he realized that the struggle between Yuhua and Sima Dejiao was to make a double play, the purpose of which was to get himself to agree to their proposal and replace the generals of the Praetorian Guard with the two of them.

Today, the generals who came to power through the proposal of the two of them have accounted for more than half of the number of generals of the Praetorian Guard. In other words, through these generals, the two of them could actually control at least half of the Praetorian Guard's strength.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't have anything to do. Yuhua and the two of them control most of the power of the Praetorian Guard, and they are already too big to lose, even if he wants to reduce their military power, it is not an easy matter, let alone dispose of them at will, if they are not handled well, maybe the two of them will mutini and rebel immediately.

"Grandfather Huang, what should we do now?" Seeing that Yang Guang had not made a decision for a long time, Yang Qi couldn't help but be even more anxious, and asked in a low voice.

"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry!"

Yang Guang turned around and patted his grandson on the shoulder, and forced a smile to himself: "Don't think too much, let's go back to deal with political affairs first!" I'll take care of that! ”

Hearing Yang Guang say this, Yang Qi temporarily put aside his worries, nodded, and saluted: "Grandson retires!"

……

Hutuzhou, a small sandbar island formed by the accumulation of river sand, is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, not very far from the Jiangdu City, that is, more than 200 miles away. If you take a warship from Hudouzhou and sail along the Yangtze River, you can reach the city of Jiangdu in less than a day and night.

At this time, Hu Douzhou has become a secret military base of the Allied Army. In order to take over the political resources after Yang Guang's death, Su Shang had already prepared, and he had arranged for Su Xingchen to secretly enter Hudouzhou a few months ago in the name of the rebel army brought by Changzhou.

In the past few months, Su Xingchen has been patiently waiting for orders, personally and strictly training his soldiers every day, silently preparing to fight at any time, and at the same time leading the soldiers to transform Hu Tuzhou after training, and secretly recruiting soldiers from the surrounding areas, as well as the people on the island.

In a few months, Wang Xingchen not only transformed Hu Tuzhou into a real naval base, but also made his soldiers grow to more than 20,000 people.

In order to keep it secret, Su Xingchen claimed to be the Jiangyin Righteous Army, and he also banned navigation and fishing in the rivers around Hu Tuzhou, and strictly forbade cutting boats to approach Hu Tuzhou.

Every few days, he would also send his men to sweep the river in small warboats, as well as other rebel forces in the surrounding area, and now the three counties of Jiangyin, Changshu and Ninghai were under his control.

Ninghai County is closer to Jiangdu City, and it is convenient to use both land and water. Since Ninghai County was brought under control, Su Xingchen moved his office from Hu Tuzhou to the county government of Ninghai County, and transferred most of his troops to Ninghai County, leaving only 10,000 recruits on Hu Tuzhou, as well as some large warships that are not suitable for dispatch for the time being!

"Big brother, why did you say that the marshal didn't let us save Yan Wang Yang Gao, but let us rescue Zhao Wang Yang Gao, Yan Wang Yang Qi is the emperor's grandson, isn't it more valuable to control him?" In the county government of Ninghai County, He Qingming, who came from afar, finished talking about the matter and asked Su Xingchen about his incomprehension.

He Qingming was originally in charge of collecting intelligence in Jiangdu City, and yesterday afternoon he received two orders from Donglai City, the Tao was for him, and the Tao was for him to pass on to Su Xingchen.

The stakes were very high, He Qingming did not dare to delay, and the tasks of the two orders were the same, requiring him and Wang Xingchen to cooperate with each other, so He Qingming hurried overnight and finally arrived at Ninghai County Ya half an hour ago.

Wang Xingchen pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Yang Gao's age is young, he should be more obedient, and Yang Gao's character has been formed, and it is difficult to change it, and his character is a little stubborn, and he is the emperor's grandson, who has been personally trained by Yang Guang, I think his obsession with Da Sui will be stronger, and if he comes back, it will be easier to breed all kinds of accidents in the future."

After speaking, seeing He Qingliang's thoughtful appearance, Wang Xingchen smiled again: "These are just my personal guesses, and they are not accurate." The teacher's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and his ideas are not something that we can think through at present. ”

Li Qingming nodded, shook his head again and smiled: "I think your analysis is very reasonable, big brother."

"Alright, let's not talk about that!"

Su Xingchen smiled, "Let's talk about the situation in Jiangdu City!" ”

Li Qingming immediately put away his smile and said: "Most of Yang Guang's Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers are Guan people, since Li Yuan led the army to attack the Guan Belt, the Praetorian Guard has been in turmoil, and many soldiers have fled every day, Yuhua and others conform to the army's will, in the name of admonishing Yang Guang to lead the army back to Luoyang, secretly encourage the Praetorian Guards soldiers to rebel, he has connected most of the generals of the Praetorian Guard, I believe he will soon mutiny and rebellion."
