Chapter 247: Layout of Yingchuan
Zhang Liao saw Tang Xiang resigning, frowned, and said unhappily: "The sage has clouds, and he should not give in to the teacher, the elder brother knows the scriptures and righteousness, and once served as the Taishou of Danyang, and has experience in governing counties and counties, how can he retreat now?" ”
Seeing that Tang Xiang was about to speak, Zhang Liao interrupted him: "The elder brother can govern the county by himself, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and as for the military, the younger brother will send people to help." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tang Xiang was stunned, he couldn't help but be silent, his face couldn't help changing, and he was obviously hesitating in his heart.
Li Min sighed and hugged his fist towards Tang Xiang: "If Brother Qifeng serves as the Taishou of Yingchuan, Min can rest assured, as General Zhang said, I have lost my right hand now and am disabled, so I am not suitable for the position of Taishou, and my intelligence is not enough to let me do it!" ”
Zhang Liao looked at Tang Xiang: "That's it, the elder brother is too guarded, and the younger brother will repatriate the five thousand old troops of Kong Ling, who was captured earlier, which is enough to win the hearts of the elder brother, plus the six thousand soldiers and horses in Yangcheng, as long as they are properly trained, they are enough to deal with the changes!" ”
"Repatriate five thousand captives?" Li Min and Tang Xiang were both stunned.
Li Min was shocked and didn't know why Zhang Liao supported Tang Xiang so much.
Tang Xiang was moved, even though Zhang Liao asked him to be the Yingchuan Taishou or have other schemes, but the Yingchuan Taishou itself is a heavy position, although Zhang Liao said that it was a burden, but Tang Xiang understood in his heart that it was just talking, so that Li Min felt more comfortable, in fact, there were more people who wanted to be Yingchuan Taishou but could be Yingchuan Taishou, and he got this important position in vain, Zhang Liao sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to support, which can be said to be a great effort.
"That's right," Zhang Liao said: "These five thousand captive junior brothers have been practicing for several months, and their combat strength is very different from before, so they can rely on it." ”
Tang Xiang took a deep breath and said, "In this way, it is okay for Yingchuan to take over the duties of his brother, but it is inevitable that his name will not be right......
Zhang Liao waved his hand and said: "Brother don't have to worry about this, the younger brother will find a performance for the elder brother, as for the moment, just say that Li Taishou was killed by the thief, but the Yang Zhai family can be jointly promoted, and the elder brother will take office first." ”
Tang Xiang was silent for a moment, bowed to Li Min on the side, and saluted: "Brother Zhongqiu......"
Li Min waved his hand and said to Tang Xiang: "Brother Qifeng doesn't have to mind, as General Zhang said, Yingchuan is too guarded to be difficult to say, and the younger brother is not talented, so he can only suffer Brother Feng." He looked at Zhang Liao again and said in a deep voice: "No matter what Your Excellency is trying to do, please don't harm the people of Yingchuan, otherwise you won't be blinded!" ”
Zhang Liao said: "Brother Li can rest assured, a certain purpose is to ensure the stability of Yingchuan." ”
Tang Xiang also said: "I will live up to Brother Zhongqiu's expectations." ”
Li Min looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Your Excellency has taken the troop transfer order, and the golden seal is in the Taishou Mansion, so you can send someone to take it." ”
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "I have ordered people to spread the rumor that Brother Li was killed by the thieves, and I am afraid that Brother Li will secretly follow him in the future." ”
Li Min's complexion changed slightly, and Tang Xiang hurriedly said: "Wenyuan ......"
Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Brother, don't worry, the younger brother wants to kill Brother Li, and he has already done it, and taking Brother Li back this time may not be an opportunity, and he will still be able to do things for the people in the future." ”
Li Min was stunned, knowing that it was useless for him to refute, he looked at his broken hand, looked depressed, and didn't say anything anymore.
Then Zhang Liao settled Li Min to rest, and he had a secret conversation with Tang Xiang.
"Brother." Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "The younger brother has ordered people to spread the rumor that Li Taishou was killed by the thieves, and it was the elder brother who did not hesitate to go deep into the thieves' nest at a critical juncture, clear the Gao Xundao to avenge Brother Li, and solve the great disaster of Yang Zhai!" Tomorrow morning, we will invite the heads of the major families in Yangzhai to elect my brother as the Taishou of Yingchuan. ”
Tang Xiang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Among the Yang Zhai family, the Zhao family, the Yan family and the Tang family are quite discordant, and I am afraid that they will not agree to be elected as the elder brother to serve as the Taishou of Yingchuan." ”
Zhang Liao said lightly: "Brother doesn't have to worry about this, but be prepared to be the Taishou of Yingchuan." ”
Tang Xiang heard the murderous meaning in Zhang Liao's voice, and couldn't help but tremble, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it. In troubled times, he used heavy codes, and he had to admit that although Zhang Liao's brother-in-law was younger than him, he was much more sophisticated than him, so he didn't need to say anything.
Zhang Liao said again: "As for Yingchuan Taishou's performance, the younger brother will try to make Yuan Shao on the table, and his performance is also justified for the Kanto County, but you must be careful of Yuan Shu in the future." ”
"Yuan Benchu?" Tang Xiang was shocked, he didn't expect this brother-in-law to have such a means, under Dong Zhuo's command, he could still influence Yuan Shao!
Zhang Liao naturally thought of Guo Tu, Guo Tu lobbied the Kwantung princes to raise troops, and now he has a good reputation, and with his ability, it is not a problem to persuade Yuan Shao to make a performance.
As for Guo Tu's loyalty, Zhang Liao didn't think much about it, but how could Jia Xu's methods be underestimated, and if he got the character of this person, his family was in his own hands, so he would not disobey and anger himself. What's more, for this kind of harmless thing to him, he moves his mouth to become, why not. Even Guo Jia, who knew Guo Tu, also agreed with this, so Zhang Liao was very relieved.
Ignoring the shocked Tang Xiang, Zhang Liao instructed again: "The younger brother has taken Li Min's transfer order, and tomorrow will transfer the soldiers and horses back to Yangcheng, and then the younger brother will secretly repatriate five thousand captives from Xuanyuan Pass, led by Song Chao, Xue Ming, and Jiang Qi under the command of the younger brother, Song Chao is the main, and the other two will be auxiliary, but the three of them must obey Gao Shun's dispatch, and the elder brother can take advantage of Gao Shun's rescue of Yang Zhai this time to recruit Gao Shun, give him the position of captain, and command the Yingchuan army, with Gao Shun's ability, it is enough to deal with everything. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Liao said with a solemn expression: "Brother is not proficient in military affairs, do not interfere too much with Gao Shun's use of troops, otherwise today's defeat of Li Min is a lesson from the past, and when Gao Shun leaves, Yingchuan may suffer a catastrophe!" ”
Seeing Tang Xiang's solemn nod, Zhang Liao also breathed a sigh of relief, groaned, and said: "The junior brother just asked Wan'er and Su Wu, they said that the Zuo Dao Chief went to the south of Yingchuan to appease a few Yellow Turban remnants, and the Zuo Dao Chang has a high prestige among the Daomen, if these Yellow Turbans are secretly attached, he may also be a helper in the future." ”
When Tang Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but show joy. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Ruying area have always been a problem in Yingchuan, if Zuo Ci can appease a few remnants of the Yellow Turbans, it will be regarded as his political achievements in office, which is enough to convince the public.
Zhang Liao settled Tang Xiang, when he was already Yin, he went to Tang Wan's boudoir, but Tang Wan was still waiting for someone, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the husband and wife were naturally tied again.
Early in the morning of the second day, Dian Wei rushed back with the Tiger Battalion, and the 500 Qiang Hu soldiers in Mi County were defrauded by him and the whole army was wiped out.
Then Zhang Liao and Gao Shun convened the major families of Yang Zhai to discuss the matter of electing Tang Xiang as the Taishou, the Guo family and several other families had a good relationship with the Tang family, and they all agreed, while the heads of the Zhao family and the Yan family really objected.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were both wearing masks, Gao Shun played the role of Gao Methodist, he had already been ordered by Zhang Liao, without saying a word, he directly took down the two, and sent troops to attack the two forts, the two were broken in just half an hour, and the whole family was brought out, and nearly 2,000 parts were all captured.
The other families were still relying on the fort dock as a defense, and they were all shocked and panicked when they saw this.
And Tang Xiang scolded Gao Shun with "righteous words", and Gao Shun, who "had received Tang Xiang's favor", finally put two families on Tang Xiang's face, but the two thousand parts were swallowed by Gao Shun.
The Zhao family and the Yan family could only swallow the bitter fruit by themselves, and they had to echo and recommend Tang Xiang as the Taishou of Yingchuan.
Subsequently, Zhang Liao relied on the order to transfer troops and the prestige of several family heads to subdue the defenders stationed in Yangcheng and serve Tang Xiang.
Since then, Zhang Liao has indirectly controlled Yingchuan, and then he rushed back to Xuanyuan Pass with Dian Wei and Shi A to deal with the repatriation of 5,000 Yingchuan prisoners. (To be continued.) )
