5. Loyal and courageous
"That's right, only in this way can you stand in this troubled era as a loyal minister with soldiers and horses." Wei Gao replied angrily.
"Longzhou Huangyang City is in the hands of Chengwu, and your two brothers are with you; And I still lead the affairs of Lingtai and Yinmi counties, and the horse fangs, Fanbing, and Tuntian in Liangyuan and Baili are all owned by me. ”
"I have 2,000 soldiers and horses in Huangyang here, and Zhu Zhu commanded Niu Yunguang to lead 500 soldiers to garrison outside Wangyang City, called the city moat, but in fact, he supervised me."
"With Chengwu's strategy, it should be more than enough to deal with Niu Yunguang."
"I don't have to worry about it here, but Yisong, on your side, in the newly built Liangyuan City, the nominal commander of the five thousand battalions of Tian soldiers is still Zhu Jun's henchman Tian Xijian! And you are in Baili New Town, the Tian soldiers and Fan soldiers that you can master together are only 4,000, and there are 800 Fan Yang soldiers in the camp field of Lingtai Old County, will they have unstable movements in the future? ”
Gao Yue smiled slyly: "Chengwu, don't forget, Liangyuan City was built by me, since I can build it from the flat ground, then I also understand all the fateful gates of this city, Tian Xijian is not afraid." As for the 800 Fan Yang soldiers in the old county of Lingtai, I will slowly let the trusted young generals take control of this team. ”
Now Gao Yue's newly developed leading military academy is Hou Lan and Cheng Junren, the tun officials of Baili City, in addition, he has a good relationship with Zhang Yufei and Liu Guoguang who guarded Lianyunbao, as well as Ma Di and other young Zhuang factions in Jingzhou City.
"Okay, what about the main forces of Anxi and Beiting camps in Jingzhou City?"
Hearing this, Gao Yue was a little uneasy, he knew that the generals Yao Lingyan and Jiao Bochen in the military palace were all very well co-opted by Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun's direct subordinates infiltrated Fang Tingzhi and Liang Tingfen into the camp.
That is to say, Gao Yue is confident in keeping the seed team of Anxi and Beiting Xingying, but he cannot avoid the division within Jingyuan, and even cannibalism.
And Wei Gao also saw what Gao Yue was thinking in his heart, so he sighed and patted Gao Yue's shoulder, "Yisong, there are gains and losses, there must be sacrifices if there is struggle, there will be inferiority if there is essence, and if your husband becomes a big thing, you don't have to stick to the small sections; If you want to become a pillar of the court, in addition to loyalty, you must have a huge courage! As he spoke, Wei Gao first put his other hand on his chest, and then pounded Gao Yue's gallbladder.
"Well, I still have to write a secret letter to Lingzhou, in case the situation is not effective, I can also let my father-in-law lead the army to the south." After hearing Wei Gao's impassioned words, Gao Yue was also relieved, and was ready to bring his father-in-law to play with him.
That's right, the army of later generations, and the rebellion!
If there is no rebellion, how can we maintain the purity of the team, how can we ensure the authority of the leader, and how can we ensure the loyalty of the whole team to the court and the Holy Lord?
Let's take today as the day when the old Jingyuan camp and the new Jingyuan camp parted ways!
At this time, Wei Gao had already decided to be "brave and loyal", but he was afraid that he would not have such an opportunity, so he asked Gao Yue a little anxiously: "This time Zhu Jun entered the guest province, His Majesty really didn't let him come back?" ”
It means that if His Majesty fully believes in Zhu Zhu and then lets him come back as the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, then what.
"I think that this time His Majesty's misfortune from the palace is likely to become a reality." Gao Yue judged the situation and judged Wei Gao in five ways:
His Majesty's use of troops in Heshuo, Ziqing, and Shannan Dongdao has cost a lot of money, and the central government and local transfer envoys are anxious to cope with military expenditures, and the crisis is deep.
His Majesty also hopes to abolish the previous generation's official awards, and return all the rights of appointment and dismissal of Fang Zhenjing to the central government, so that although Li Weiyue died, Wang Wujun and Zhu Tao rebelled one after another, although Liang Chongyi died, Li Xilie was then dissatisfied, His Majesty's starting point was good, but he was too hasty and did not pay attention to things.
Your Majesty seems to be generous, but in fact he is suspicious and resourceful in his heart (alas, when he was a child, he lacked maternal love, and he lacked his own sense of security and trust in others, and he trusts me now, and what he has done the most right thing in his life is also to trust me), the order of the front-line war is changing day by day, and the lieutenant officers who go to interfere in military affairs are endless, coupled with the fact that the officers and soldiers are handsome and detached, and they tear each other down, it is difficult to make fundamental progress in the counterinsurgency war.
I heard that when His Majesty asked Shuo Fang to lead Tang Dynasty ministers and Yang Guangsheng to lead 5,000 cavalry to aid the battlefield of Xuzhou in the Central Plains, the Shuo Fang soldiers were not in place for the equipment (the money issued to the soldiers to prepare their outfits before the Tang Dynasty army started the battle) was not in place, and the 5,000 Shuo soldiers were in old and tattered clothes and armor, and were ridiculed as beggars by the Xuanwu Army - you see, the treatment of the northwest town is far inferior to that of the Central Plains Town, and the treatment of the Central Plains Town is far inferior to the Shence Army, and the teams of these three systems have to be mixed together to fight. Discrimination and ridicule against each other, anger accumulates over a long time, and once it erupts, it cannot be underestimated.
In the end, for Zhu Zhu this time, according to His Majesty's wisdom, it is impossible to believe that he conspired with Zhu Tao who is far away in Youzhou, but according to His Majesty's temperament, he will never let him come back - if I were Your Majesty, I would also "rather kill by mistake than let go", who can let Zhu Zhu continue to be a festival envoy in Fengxiang Mansion on the "side of the couch"? His Majesty will definitely take the opportunity to relieve Zhu Jun of his military power, detain him under house arrest in Beijing, and then send a loyal and reliable minister to Zhenfengxiang.
And as soon as Zhu Jun leaves, Fengxiang and even Jingyuan will inevitably be turbulent, and even the front line of Heshuo and the Central Plains will be implicated, and even Chang'an City will be in danger at that time.
This is also the basis for my judgment that "although Zhu Jun entered Beijing, although he will not be convicted of rebellion, he will not be able to come back".
As soon as these five points were said, Wei Gao suddenly realized, and then he frowned, and suddenly said:
"Yi Song's judgment is not happy at all, but according to the list of these five articles, Gao feels that His Majesty is a little 'not like a human king'! In that case, do we need to be loyal ministers......."
"Hey, Jotake!" Gao Yue hurriedly stopped him from continuing.
Wei Gao also immediately understood that his words were equivalent to what Xiang Yu once said, "He can replace him", which is a real rebellion.
"It's not okay to be an overlord, but it's absolutely okay to learn from Liu Bang." Gao Yue woke up with a word.
"Yes, yes, yes, the husband should be like this!" Wei Gao hurriedly changed his words.
Then the two conspired, and after breaking up, one returned to Huangyang and the other returned to Fengtian, and they went to their respective businesses......
In the guest provincial hall of Daming Palace, Zhu Zhu was respectful and handed over the letter to Zhongguan Huo Zhongtang.
When the letter was delivered to the Zichen Palace, the emperor opened it and read it, and said for a long time, "It is impossible for Taiwei to participate in his brother's rebellion. ”
"Holy Lord is wise, my Tang Zhifu is blessed!" At the bottom of the stairs, Lu Qi and Guan Bo praised in unison.
Then the emperor became angry, "Ma Sui...... Lu Qing, is it true that what you secretly played about Ma Chang, the son of Ma Sui? ”
Lu Qilian said naturally, and then handed the evidence, a letter, to the emperor.
