Chapter 767: Cold Lips and Teeth (1)
When the news of the imperial decree and the surrounding three large-scale mobilization of troops and horses came one after another, the entire town navy fell into a panic.
Since the loss of Yuezhou, the strength of the Zhenhai Navy has decreased, so in the face of the posture of the imperial court salute first and then soldiers, I don't know how to deal with it for a while.
If he accepts the appointment of the imperial court, it means that Qian Biao has to hand over his years of hard work; But if he doesn't accept it, the court is likely to send troops to fight him, and in this way, he is very likely to be defeated.
And the consequence of defeat is to raid the family and exterminate the clan.
Rao is Qian Biao can be regarded as a hero, and in the face of such a difficult choice, he doesn't know how to make a choice.
"Marshal, the imperial court's move is obviously to transfer Marshal out of the town navy, and then settle accounts after the autumn, Marshal can't easily agree."
A group of people gathered together, and Ma Sui, who was related to Qian Biao by marriage, opposed accepting the imperial court's holy decree.
This holy decree of the imperial court can be described as 'Sima Zhao's heart, known to passers-by'.
"What if you know? Jiangnan Province, Jiangxi Province, and Zhendong Army are all mobilizing troops and horses, as well as the imperial court water division.
These three can mobilize an army of 100,000, really meet each other, we only have the land of four states in our hands, can we be the opponent of the army? Cheng and Shen said in a deep voice.
"Then watch the imperial court take away the town navy?" Ma Sui was a little unwilling.
"General Gu, are you confident that you can stop the imperial army?" Qian Biao looked at the general Gu Quanwu on the side.
"Nope." Gu Quanwu shook his head, "If the imperial court wants to use force, it will definitely dispatch a sailor." Our sailors can't do it, if there is a war, the sailors of the imperial court can transport the army directly to the city of Hangzhou. ”
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Qian Biao looked at the other party hopefully.
Gu Quanwu said in a deep voice, "If the commander doesn't want to leave the town navy, he can only go to find reinforcements." With the current strength of the town navy, it is impossible to resist the imperial army, so it can only go to find reinforcements. ”
"Reinforcements? Wang Chao definitely can't, in this way, only Yang Xingmi is left. Could it be that he dares to start a war with the court for us? For Yang Xingmi, Qian Biao is not at ease.
"The imperial court wants to take the opportunity to solve the problem of separating the feudal towns, and now it is dealing with our town navy, and after the town navy is solved by the imperial court, Huainan will not be able to escape. and Zhu Yougong of Jianghuai Province.
They should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. Gu Quanwu explained, "If you can convince Yang Xingmi and Zhu Yougong, there may be a glimmer of hope." ”
"That's one way to do it." Qian Biao fell into deep thought, and then looked around at everyone, "Everyone, who is willing to lobby Yang Xingmi on behalf of the envoy?" ”
The crowd hesitated for a moment, and finally Gu Quanwu stood up, "Jie Shuai, the last general is willing to go to Yangzhou for Jie Shuai." ”
In the end, Qian Biao asked Gu Quanwu to persuade Yang Xingmi and Zhu Yougong on his behalf, but it is difficult to say whether he can persuade the two.
Just after the group of people with different minds left, Luo Yin turned around and returned to the Jiedu Embassy.
"Luo Changshi, why are you back again?" Seeing Luo Yin go and return, Qian Biao was a little surprised.
"Jie Shuai, there were a lot of people just now, and some of the subordinates were not easy to say, so I turned back." Luo Yin said respectfully.
"Luo Changshi, please speak." Qian Bi motioned for Luo Yin to sit down and say something.
Luo Yin sat down without hesitation, and then looked at Qian Biao, "The subordinates dare to ask, dare to ask if the marshal really plans to meet with the imperial court?" Can there be any consequences? ”
"The consequences?" Qian Biao didn't expect Luo Yin's attitude to be like this, and couldn't help but sneer, "Ben Shuai naturally thought about it." But if you are caught, what you are waiting for is to sit in the temple without much power, and this result is unwilling to accept it. ”
"The subordinates know that the marshal is a little unwilling, but even if Yang Xingmi is willing to send troops to help, the chances of the marshal are very small.
There is no strong sailor in Huainan, as long as the imperial navy blockades the Yangtze River, it will still be the marshal who will face the three soldiers and horses of Jiangnan in the imperial court alone.
If Jieshuai is defeated, not only will the lives of the four states of the town and navy be ruined, but also Jieshuai and the Jieshuai clan will be implicated.
On the other hand, if the marshal accepts the holy decree of the imperial court, he can serve as the political envoy of Hubei Province, as long as... ”
"That's it!" Qian Di's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Luo Yin coldly, "I didn't expect Luo Changshi to have taken refuge in the imperial court." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Yin was a little anxious, "Luo has tried and failed, if he hadn't been appreciated by the marshal, he would have retreated to Jiuhua Mountain a long time ago." Thinking of the grace of the marshal, he dared to advise the marshal not to make a wrong decision because of a momentary anger.
Now that the imperial court has settled most of the feudal towns, it still maintains a large army near the Huainan and Zhen navy because it has sent troops to solve the problem of separating the feudal towns at the right time.
Today's saint is young and vigorous, if the marshal falls out with the court, Luo is worried that the court will be ruthless.
And... ”
Before Luo Yin finished speaking, Qian Di's face was already ugly, and seeing that Luo Yin was still talking, he slapped the table suddenly.
Syllable!
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore, Ben Shuai knows how to do it! If Luo Changshi finds a way out, Ben Shuai will not force him to stay, whether he goes or stays, it is light.
Luo Changshi went back, Ben Shuai wanted to be alone and quiet. ”
Seeing that Qian Biao began to drive people away, Luo Yin was a little frustrated, trembling and stood up to salute, "Please also ask the festival commander to think twice, and the lower officials will retire first." ”
Luo Yin left the Jieshuai's Mansion a little disappointed, got into the carriage, and let the servants set off. After the carriage started, Luo Yin lifted the curtain and glanced at the Marshal Jie's Mansion, and said coldly, "Isn't it good to go to Hubei to be a political envoy?" You have to go to death, you want to die, Luo doesn't want to bury you. ”
Although Qian Biao has the grace of knowing Luo Yin, the relationship between Luo Yin and Qian Biao has not reached the point of being buried with Qian Biao.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Yang Xingmi sends troops, with the strength of the current Zhenhai Navy, where is the opponent of the three soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, Jiangxi and Zhendong.
Since Qian Biao wants to go all the way to the dark, he naturally won't be buried with him, and he can't find a way out.
Luo Yin began to find a way, and many other people in the town navy were also finding a way, including Qian Di's brother and the old department.
In fact, Qian Biao didn't want to give up the town navy, including Gu Quanwu and others, they were not optimistic, after all, the gap in strength was too big. It's just that because they have followed Qian Biao for many years, Gu Quanwu and the others don't want to give in like this.
But not all of Qian Biao's subordinates are the same as Gu Quanwu and a few others, so after learning that Qian Biao did not accept the imperial decree for the first time, but sent someone to contact Yang Xingmi, someone secretly went to the eunuch who announced the decree at night to establish a good relationship.
Including those who have been in contact with Jinyiwei before, they are also thinking about taking refuge in Jinyiwei to find a way back, so as not to be settled by the autumn queen in the end.
Qian Biao didn't know about all this, but the atmosphere in Hangzhou has been very wrong in the past few days.
Just when everyone in the town navy was thinking differently, Gu Quanwu came to Yangzhou 'secretly' to seek the assistance of Yang Xingmi, the head of the first powerful domain with more than 100,000 troops in Huainan.
