Chapter 108: Planning (1)
Guangling, Huainan Jiedu Embassy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The news of Yang Wuquan's annihilation of Zhu Xingxian's victory made the entire Jiedu embassy boil, and the faces of the generals were full of smiles, not only happy for the victory, but also happy for the future heir of Huainan to be able to fight so well; Without waiting for them to calm down from the excitement, the news that Huzhou went down without a fight ignited everyone's emotions.
At this time, Yang Xingmi and several of his confidants were discussing the news they had just received in the study.
In the letter, Wu'er mentioned that it was time to send someone to summon Tian Yan back to prevent him from expanding his power after he really conquered Hangzhou. What do you think of this suggestion? ”
At this time, Yang Xingmi was full of smiles, and the war in the south was surprisingly smooth, so much so that he couldn't believe it at this time, Suzhou and Huzhou fell into his hands in just three months. You must know that according to the siege speed of this era, three months may not be enough to capture one big city, let alone two cities. Moreover, Tian Yan did not make progress in Hangzhou at this time, and Huainan undoubtedly made money this time.
In addition to the success of the war, Yang Wu's superior performance on the battlefield made him even more happy, for a father, there is nothing more worthy of joy than the excellence of his own son.
"The subordinates agreed with the prince's suggestion, it is beneficial for us to recall Tian Yan now, but continuing to attack may allow Tian Yan to take the opportunity to expand his power." Yan Keqiu replied: "At present, many states under Qian Biao's command are secretly communicating with Tian Yan, if Qian Biao is completely defeated, I am afraid that these states will take refuge in Tian Yan."
During this time, he had been fully recognized by Yang Xingmi, and often participated in the planning of these confidential matters.
"Subordinates seconded!" Gao Mian replied on the side.
Suppressing Tian Yan was already the consensus of several people present, if it wasn't for Yang Wu's proposal to take the opportunity to attack Su and Hu Erzhou, Yang Xingmi was afraid that he would have sent an envoy to summon Tian Yan back. Now that Huainan's goal has been achieved, it is natural that Tian Yan will not be given another chance to expand his power.
"And the subordinates feel that the king not only wants to send an envoy to recall Tian Yan, but also the speed should be fast, and the words should be as heavy as possible!" At this time, Yan Keqiu added.
"Oh, why is that?"
"The subordinates are worried that the news of our army's capture of Huzhou will cause a great loss of morale in Qian Biao's army, and it may even make Qian Biao feel that our army will continue to go south to capture Hangzhou, so that Qian Biao, who has completely lost confidence, may abandon Hangzhou and surrender Yuezhou."
Yang Xingmi nodded, "You're right, this matter really needs to be stepped up." So who do you think would be the best messenger to send? ”
"The subordinates think that Shang Gong can take on this task!"
"Shang Gongnai?" Yang Xingmi smiled and said, "Yes, he is a good candidate!" ”
When Shang Gongnai was still under Feng Hongduo, he once came to Guangling as Feng Hongduo's envoy to ask for Runzhou, and at that time, Shang Gongnai made threatening words in front of Yang Xingmi. Now as a messenger to recall Tian Yan, he needs a tough person like him to take on the responsibility.
As for the reason for recalling Tian Yan, the people present were all human spirits, so they casually made up a reason.
Yang Xingmi then asked, "Then who do you think you should send to serve as the Huzhou Assassin?" ”
Huzhou is not as good as Suzhou, Suzhou is blocked by Jiaxing and Huzhou, and now it is an internal state, so it doesn't need much consideration in terms of guarding, just let Xu Wen, who is not good at military fighting, take over; However, Huzhou is bordered by Tian Yan's Xuanzhou and Qian Di's Hangzhou, and this will definitely be the concentration of the three wars in the future, so it is necessary to send a member of the fierce future to serve as the assassin.
"My subordinates think that General Wang Maozhang can be served!" Gao Mian suggested.
Although it was lucky to meet the existence of Gao Li, a "pit father", to open the city gate and cooperate, Wang Maozhang quickly captured Huzhou after all, and it was feasible to serve as a assassin with his merits and ability. However, Yang Xingmi shook his head and vetoed: "Wang Maozhang has other arrangements, let's see other candidates!" ”
"How is General Li Jian?" At this time, Yan Keqiu asked on the side.
"Li Jian?"
Yang Xingmi groaned slightly. Li Jian's loyalty to him does not need to be doubted, and his ability is also very good, and his qualifications are enough, and he has made a lot of contributions in this southern expedition, and it is just right to serve as the assassin of Huzhou. As for Li Jian's greed, cruelty, and murderous flaws, these are not the most important compared to his loyalty and ability, as long as he can hold Huzhou in the next Tian Yan Rebellion, and don't give Tian Yan any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Okay, that's him."
Yang Xingmi agreed after thinking for a while, and then asked Dai Yougui, who was in charge of intelligence, "How is the situation on Zhu Yanshou's side?" ”
Although the matter of Tian Yan sending Du Xunhe to Shouzhou to contact Zhu Yanshou last time was done secretly, the intelligence agency "Changjiandu" under Dai Yougui still had some information.
Although Dai Yougui has the intention of retiring, this matter is not something that he can retire immediately if he wants to, at least he can't retire until the intelligence agency under his command has a new controller. After listening to Yang Xingmi's question, he immediately introduced it.
"King Qiyu, according to the information learned by his subordinates, Du Xunhe went to Shouzhou once last winter, and the purpose seemed to be to win over Zhu Yanshou on behalf of Tian Yu, but at that time Zhu Yanshou refused, and was very cold to Du Xunhe; And after the eldest son was canonized as the prince last month, Tian Yan once again sent Du Xunhe to Shouzhou, but this time Zhu Yanshou's attitude changed greatly and he was very enthusiastic about Du Xunhe. Although the specific situation is not yet known, it is foreseeable that Zhu Yanshou now has the heart to rebel. So please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Regarding Zhu Yanshou, Yang Xingmi's opinion of him is more complicated, but he is also more jealous.
Historically, before Tian Yan and An Renyi rebelled, Yang Xingmi mastered the collusion between Zhu Yanshou and the two, and used a strict strategy to kill Zhu Yanshou.
Yang Xingmi had a serious illness before, not only had a splitting headache, but also couldn't see in both eyes, although he was later cured, but the doctor said that there was a possibility of recurrence in the future.
So Yang Xingmi followed Yan Keqiu's strategy, pretending that the old illness had recurred, and his eyes could not see, and every time he met with Zhu Yanshou's envoy, he always deliberately said the wrong thing that the envoy saw, so as to indicate his eye disease. When he was walking, he deliberately touched the pillar and fell to the ground, and it took half a day for Mrs. Zhu to wake up after helping him up.
Yang Xingmi cried and said to Mrs. Zhu: "My career has succeeded but I have lost my eyesight, this is God abandoning me!" My son is not enough to achieve great things, if I can entrust it to my third uncle (Zhu Yanshou), then I will have no resentment. ”
Mrs. Zhu believed it and hurriedly summoned Zhu Yanshou to Guangling to take over. After Zhu Yanshou arrived, he was assassinated by Yang Xingmi, and then divorced Mrs. Zhu and asked her to remarry someone else.
But in this life, Yang Wu's performance is so outstanding, and he was named the prince, and even if he is not crowned as the queen of the festival for the time being, the strategy of pretending to be sick in history will be difficult to succeed, Zhu Yanshou and Mrs. Zhu are not stupid to that point. So to deal with Zhu Yanshou, it is obvious that there is another way.
