Yang Sigong is a supporter of Shouwang Li Jie, but it doesn't mean that he is on Zhu Li's side.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yang Gate was a family of eunuchs.

Yang Sigong was born in Yangmen, so he decided that no matter what he did, he would put the interests of Yangmen first.

Since ancient times, eunuchs have a prominent status and the phenomenon of forming a family is only at the end of the Tang Dynasty; But where did the status and glory of eunuchs come from?

Nature comes from the human king; And what kind of person will hand over all the many briefs in the court to the eunuchs to take care of?

Judging from historical records, most of the people who can do such things are faint kings; But even if he is a faint king, he can't compare to the puppet raised by the eunuch.

Only the puppets who are supported by themselves will obey their own words, and they can better ensure that their own interests will not be harmed.

Yang Sigong supports Li Jie, in a sense, because he believes that he can control and clamp Li Jie, so that he can better protect his own interests.

In this way, in a sense, the interests of the eunuchs are actually the same as the interests of the people.

Any person or organization that hinders the ruling position of the monarch will greatly endanger the interests of the eunuchs, and Heshuo, where Zhu Li is located, will undoubtedly threaten Li Tang's rule.

Of course, there are many local feudal towns that threaten Li Tang's dominance, such as Zhu Quanzhong in Henan, Han Pheasant in Xuzhou, Li Keyong in Hedong, etc., all of these people can threaten Li Tang's rule, but Zhu Li is one of the outstanding among these people.

Therefore, in the battle of shooting and hunting, Zhu Liyi was not damaged, not only Yang Siqiao, who supported Jiwang Li Bao, was unhappy, but even Yang Sigong, who supported Shouwang Li Jie, was also unhappy.

Because they are all eunuchs, Zhu Li threatens the rule of the Tang family, and naturally threatens their interests.

Just when King Shou took the lead, these two old eunuchs, who were originally opposed, looked at each other in unison, and their eyes were full of gloom.

Yang Sixuan, who was pretending to be Liu Xingshen, stood up casually when the result was obvious, and announced lightly: "The battle for hunting, the supporters of His Royal Highness King Shou, are skilled. ”

"The old slave is here, congratulations to His Highness, win first." Before the words fell, Yang Siqiao hugged his fist and saluted Li Jie in style.

In the face of this old eunuch, Li Jie naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly stood up and returned the salute: "Everyone Liu is polite, this is all the credit of the generals of the feudal towns, Xiao Wang is just sitting back and enjoying his success, and he deserves everyone's congratulations." ”

"The prince is too humble, if it weren't for His Highness's virtue, where would there be so many good ministers and fierce generals who are willing to support His Highness?"

"In the final analysis, Your Highness is a king, and they are just ministers; Since ancient times, the monarch is a minister, and their victory in the first battle is naturally due to the virtue of His Royal Highness. ”

With just one sentence, Yang Siqiao erased the credit of all those who participated in the hunting; Not only that, but he also went online and deliberately pointed out the "Jun Nai Chen Gang" to warn you of the feudal towns, which is self-evident.

The meaning is obvious, he is taking the opportunity to tell the generals of the feudal town, you are all ministers, and those who are ministers are better to do your duty as ministers.

However, his hard work was doomed to be in vain; Li Tang's world is destined to be declining, at this time, who cares about being a minister or a king?

Even if Zhu Li did not come to this era, eight years later, Zhu Quanzhong would overthrow Li Tang and establish the Great Liang; It can be seen that the collapse of the building is not a temporary disease, nor is it caused by one person and one general, and the overturning of Li Tang has long been the trend of the times.

Now, the feudal towns of the world are willing to sit here, risking their lives, to participate in the Spring Search Festival, not to respond to Li Tang's call, but for their own sake.

Before the collapse of the society and the chaos of the country, any ambitious feudal town wanted to get the last political capital for himself.

This is the real reason why several feudal town members are willing to gather in Chang'an and be at the mercy of the old eunuchs.

Yang Siqiao didn't finish his words, and then immediately said: "I, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty Taizong, have all been fighting horses all their lives; For hundreds of years, our Datang has been able to drive out the Tartars and protect the territory and the people, just because of the powerful military force, and has never neglected it. ”

"Guards are good at skills, soldiers are good at fighting, and generals are good at fighting, although His Royal Highness King Shou won the hunt and is worthy of congratulations, but it doesn't mean anything."

"The battle of archery and hunting is a competition of guard skills, and the supporters of His Royal Highness King Shou can win the hunting, which can only show him

We're just a bit skilled, that's all. ”

"However, if the army is strong, the country will be prestigious, and the superb skills of the guards do not mean that the overall combat power of the army is strong."

"Today, it just so happens that all the generals are here, so we will directly draw lots to decide, the second round of the competition of the military formation, the priority of the offensive and defensive sides."

Yang Siqiao's proposal naturally did not surprise everyone's expectations.

This year's spring search, although it is a huge pit dug by eunuchs and court officials in collusion for the world's feudal towns, but the regulations of Tian Hunt have remained unchanged.

Field hunting is a grand event for the king to test the combat strength of various armies, if there is only shooting and hunting, it will naturally not be able to achieve the purpose of the test, or in other words, the test is not perfect.

After the hunt, there must be a battle; After the battle, it is the general.

There were three rounds of field hunting, and the first round of shooting, just like Yang Siqiao said, was just a test of the skills of the elite guards and the degree of mutual cooperation.

The second round of battle is to test the overall strength of the army; In the face of the enemy, the combat power of the military formation is an important part of the victory or defeat, the military formation is strong, as long as the main general is not a pig, the big victory is guaranteed.

As for the third round of generals, as the name suggests, it is a general's martial arts; During the Tang Dynasty, the generals performed martial arts, which were very regular, divided into literary and martial arts, and literary performances, which were to test the military strategy; And martial arts exercises are wars.

As soon as the hunting was over, Yang Siqiao immediately mentioned the battle; From this point of view, for the results of the first round, this old eunuch seems to be very unhappy!

Want to get back on the field?

Zhu Li's eyes narrowed, on their side, although he himself is not good at arranging troops, but on the Heshuo side, there has always been no shortage of generals who are good at governing the army and arranging formations.

Let's just say that Gao Yuan, who is stationed outside Chang'an City, Gao Yuan is the rebirth of Gao Shun, the general of the Three Kingdoms, with 700 camps under his command, crisscrossing the Three Kingdoms for an era, and few opponents, is it a master of arranging troops?

In addition to Gao Yuan, there is also Yue Pengju who was taken by Zhu Li's side, Yue Pengju is the rebirth of the national hero Yue Fei.

Yue Wumu, who was a household name in later generations, single-handedly created the "Beiwei Army", ranked among the five elite troops in ancient China, who dared to say that Yue Pengju was not a master of arranging troops?

The back army, divided into two phalanxes of infantry and cavalry, not to mention how powerful the cavalry is, the infantry army alone has defeated the elite troops of the Jin people several times, "Kidnapping Horse".

When it comes to kidnapping horses, everyone may not be clear, but if you say "Tiefutu", everyone may be a lot clearer.

Kidnapping horses and iron floating slaughter, are iron chain war horses, but the grassland people, the most powerful cavalry chain battle formation, as long as they rush into the enemy formation, just like the old plough ploughing the field, the enemy soldiers are cut into two sections, very bloody, but also very powerful.

Now, although Yue Pengju is heavily injured, it does not prevent him from arranging troops; What's more, on the side of Heshuo, there is another master who must not be underestimated, and this person is naturally Zhu Qia.

This old Taoist priest has studied ancient magic; If he is an old man, he suddenly has a whim, and he makes such a hand, it will definitely be enough for the other party to drink a pot.

Battle, battle, Zhu Li is absolutely not stunned.

The lottery went very quickly, only Li Bao, the king of Ji, and Li Jie, the king of Shou, just two people went to draw; After all, on the bright side, all the fights are for the position of the emperor's younger brother.

Perhaps, God is fair.

Li Jie benefited from the help of Zhu Li and others to win the battle for shooting, but when he went to draw lots, he was drawn to the attacking side, which is the so-called first move.

Don't think that the attacking side takes advantage, on the contrary, in the battle of the military formation, most of the time, the side responsible for holding on is the most advantageous.

Yang Sixuan, who had determined the first and second moves, finally had a hint of happiness on his face, and said loudly: "The generals who support His Royal Highness King Ji, please discuss it in advance, and tomorrow, you must put out a big formation." ”

"And the generals who support His Royal Highness King Shou, you just wait for tomorrow to come and break the formation."

"The big array is laid out, and in three days, if you still can't break through the military formation, then this array, even if His Royal Highness King Ji is ahead; On the contrary, His Royal Highness King Zeshou will go to the next city. ”

"According to the convention, the best-of-three system is used to select the winner as the winner; If there is a draw in the process, there will be an extra game, is it clear to everyone? ”

These rules, in fact, don't need to be deliberately said by Yang Siqiao, the big men who came to hunt have also listened to their subordinates early in the morning and introduced these rules, so naturally no one is unclear.

Until the crowd dispersed, like

There is an important thing that everyone has forgotten, that is, the issue of equipment, I don't know if everyone has collectively forgotten it, or deliberately pretended not to know.

Such a result, in the eyes of Yang Siqiao and Yang Sigong, they were also happy to pretend to be stupid; According to their thoughts, they wish that these local feudal towns would be turned upside down with real swords and guns, and it would be better to all of them die.

In the camp on the right side of the river, Wang Yueyao sat on it.

The general Zhang Xutuo and his follower Meng Taiji served on both sides.

The three of them looked at the two of them with indifferent faces, and their faces were slightly pale, Master Li and Li Qiangba; For their return, Jiang You's other civil and military forces did not applaud or blame.

Despite this, the faces of Master Li and Li Qiangba are still very ugly; You know, it was Master Li who volunteered to go hunting.

But right now, it's a big defeat.

Even if Wang Yueyao didn't take the opportunity to hit him, he wouldn't be able to get over his face.

"Your Highness, your subordinates miscalculated, not only did they not take the opportunity to strangle Yujuluo in Youzhou, but they were also cut into a pole by Heshuo's men and horses, and they were defeated and lost, please take charge of the crime." Facing Wang Yueyao, although the other party was held by him with one hand, Master Li also had to kneel on one knee and plead guilty.

Li Qiangba, who has been following him all the time, is naturally ashamed to see people, and he also knelt on one knee and hung his head silently.

In fact, Wang Yueyao knew early on that Master Li had lost a lot, so she was so happy that she almost had to drink a few cups to celebrate; However, when she thought of the child in her belly, she still held back.

It's okay to drink on your own, but once the child is born and is a little drunkard, then regret not being at the beginning.

According to her meaning, she took advantage of the defeat of Master Li to severely weaken the rights of the other party; Jiang You has some important vacancies, and Wang Yueyao has coveted them for a long time.

But as soon as she told Zhang Xutuo about this idea, Zhang Xutuo hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Highness, the strength of Master Li is definitely not what Your Highness sees. ”

"He is a veteran of the Shanhai Alliance, and in the alliance, he doesn't dare to say that he will respond to every call, but there are definitely not a few party members."

"If the governor weakens the power in his hands because of a small defeat in the hunt, it will inevitably cause him to be jealous."

"Since the establishment of the Shanhai Alliance, it has been responsible for monitoring the world and turning the clouds and rain; For countless years, many dynasties have been drowned in the torrent of history under their means. ”

"His Royal Highness is now just a small Jiangyou governor, the foundation is not yet stable, and there are only a few of us who can be trusted by the old Sui ministers, if they fight, how can they fight against the Li thief who is backed by the big tree of the Shanhai League."

"Your Highness might as well skip this matter and give a light punishment to the Li thief, and forget it; As for how to deal with the Li thief, Lao Chen believes that unless he does not move, if he moves, he must be fatal with one blow. ”

"As long as the Li thief dies, no matter how strong the power of the Shanhai Alliance is, it will not start a war against His Highness because of a dead person, please think twice."

It was precisely because of Zhang Xutuo's words that Wang Yueyao treated the two Master Li who returned from defeat so indifferently; It's just that she didn't punish them, Wang Yueyao felt a little unhappy in her heart, let alone welcoming them back.

This is the reason why the two returned, that is, there was no applause and no blame.

At the moment, Master Li took the initiative to ask for guilt, Wang Yueyao glanced at him lightly, and said calmly: "General Li, please get up, the defeat in this battle is not in the plot of man, but in the will of heaven." ”

"Right now, Liu Xingshen has drawn a line for us to His Royal Highness King Shou, instead of blaming himself, the general should seize the opportunity and put on a big array that no one can break, and defeat His Royal Highness King Shou first."

Wang Yueyao's words immediately made Master Li raise his head in surprise and look at the other party suspiciously.

Wang Yueyao didn't take the opportunity to treat his crimes, which made him very puzzled.

You must know that Wang Yueyao's manager, but he drove the ducks to the shelves and held them with one hand; The other party himself is actually not willing to sit in this position.

What's more, the other party and Heshuo Zhuli even have children, it is difficult for them to be strong, and they force him to take the position, no matter how you look at it, Wang Yueyao should have a grudge against him.

But this time in a big defeat, the other party actually brought it over lightly, and did not take the opportunity to retaliate, which made him unable to touch the depth of this lady.

Since he couldn't see through the other party, Master Li naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Your Highness, rest assured, Li has already prepared for the battle, Your Highness just wait and see." ”
