Yang Yanding said categorically: "Li Huan's army is still in Jiaozhi County, and the entire territory of Jiaozhi is almost empty, we can surprise Hualu, take the Jiaozhi capital, and loot the wealth and royal family in the Jiaozhi capital."
As long as the King of Jiaozhi and the Empress Dowager of Jiaozhi are captured by us and taken to Licheng, Li Huan will have to fight a decisive battle with us in Licheng. β
Yang Yansi put his hands behind his back and muttered, "Wouldn't it be a bit risky?" With our current troops, fighting on a long front can easily be divided and annihilated. β
Yang Yanding invited Yang Yansi and Yang Yanguang to enter Licheng, and the three brothers were in the city lord's mansion in Licheng.
Yang Yanding spread out the map of Jiaozhi, on which he planned the route of the curious attack on Hualu in advance.
"As long as we cross this mountain, the rest of the road will be smooth. According to the speed of our army's march, we will be able to reach Hualu within three days. With the advantage of our army's armor, it only takes two days to take Hualu, which is enough to break the city. β
Yang Yanguang carefully calculated the march route planned by Yang Yanding, and said in a low voice: "It takes six days to come and go, and it takes two days to attack the city, a total of eight days. Once Hualu is attacked, someone will go to Li Huan for help. Even if it is fast, it will take two days. If Li Huan wants to lead the light cavalry and gallop to the aid of Hualu, it will take four days.
In terms of time, we have the remainder of the day, and even if we encounter obstacles on the way to the withdrawal, we have time to maneuver.
I think this plan works. β
Yang Yansi also thought about it and felt that Yang Yanding's plan was indeed operable.
It's just that if you attack Hualu, you are a little strict about the time.
If you can't withdraw from Hualu on time, it will be easy to collide with Li Huan's reinforcements, and there will inevitably be a death battle at that time.
The main thing is that once the surprise attack on Hualu is successful.
Li Huan withdrew his troops to help, which was tantamount to giving Hou Renbao a chance.
Without Li Huan in charge, Jiaozhi soldiers are definitely not Hou Renbao's opponents.
At that time, Hou Renbao drove straight in, even if Yang Yansi won Jiaozhi, it was inevitable that he would have to fight with Hou Renbao.
Let Yang Yansi lead a group of slang and bureaucrats to kill the children of the Han family, he is unwilling.
Yang Yansi hesitated and said: "Two elder brothers, in my opinion, can we wait any longer, and when Li Huan and Hou Renbao are inseparable, we will attack Hualu again." At that time, the big victory will be in front of Li Huan's eyes, and Li Huan may not withdraw his troops to help. Moreover, even if Li Huan had the intention to withdraw his troops to help, Hou Renbao would not let him leave easily.
In this case, the tide of battle will be more favorable to us. β
"This ......"
Yang Yanding frowned and hesitated.
Yang Yanguang and Yang Yanding glanced at each other, and he said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother, don't you really understand the intentions of me and my second brother?" β
Yang Yansi raised his eyebrows, and thought about it for a long time before replying.
"Two brothers, do you want to fight for Hou Renbao's opportunity, and are you ready to give away the Jiaozhi we won?"
Yang Yanguang was a little embarrassed and said, "Seventh brother, this is an opportunity for you and me. As long as we dedicate our toes, we will not only be guilty of no fault, but will have merit. The position of a national prince is impossible to run. My Yang family will also take this opportunity to be promoted to the ranks of the top generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and you and my brother do not have to isolate themselves from the Yang family. β
Yang Yansi sat down slowly, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Yang Yanguang's words are right, but if he really follows Yang Yanguang's words, the title of a duke really can't run.
But with what the three brothers did in Jiaozhi, even if Zhao Guangyi would give the Yang family the title of duke, he would deprive the Yang family of all their military rights.
At that time, the heirs of the Yang family will be like the heirs of the Shi family, and they will be confined in Bianjing City as pigs.
Doing so contradicts Yang Yansi's plan, and it may not be able to get benefits.
Once the Yang family loses its military power, Zhao Guangyi has 10,000 ways to make the Yang family disappear from this world.
"I don't agree with that."
Yang Yansi thought twice and gave his own decision.
Yang Yanguang said eagerly: "Seventh brother, do you really want our brother to isolate himself from the Yang family and live in this foreign land from now on." Even after he dies, will he become a lonely ghost? β
Yang Yansi stood up and said solemnly: "As long as we control Jiaozhi, only our three brothers will be reduced to lonely souls and wild ghosts. But once we sacrifice Jiaozhi, I am afraid that when the time comes, the benevolence of our entire Yang family will become a lonely ghost. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Yang Yanding and Yang Yanguang stood up in surprise when they heard this.
Yang Yansi let out a long sigh, "Second brother, third brother, in the military array, you are invincible generals, but in political affairs, you are still thinking too simply.
Once we donate Jiaozhi, it seems that we have merit, and we will also be rewarded. However, Your Majesty will be jealous of my Yang family because of this, even if my Yang family hands over all the military power, it may not be able to live comfortably.
Your Majesty will be suspicious of our Yang family, and the hundred officials in the court will also regard my Yang family as people with different intentions. At that time, it will definitely be difficult in every way, and my Yang family will be struggling in Bianjing City. β
Yang Yanding said in a deep voice: "Can't we learn to break the family?" β
Yang Yansi shook his head with a wry smile, "I have already thought about this idea, but the Yang family is the Yang family, and the Zhe family is the Zhe family." Since Li Tang, the Zhe family has been located in the northwest and has been in the northwest for hundreds of years. The Zhejia family has already made the land of Fuzhou watertight and water cannot be spilled. No matter who Zhao Guangyi sends to Fuzhou, he will not get any benefits, and in the end he has to rely on the folded family.
Our Yang family is different, and my father and several brothers don't know how to run a place. So it's not a foundation.
Jiaozhi was initially decided, and there was no business at all. Once we hand over Jiaozhi, the imperial court will definitely send others to govern it, and at that time, Jiaozhi will also be controlled by the imperial court.
We don't have anything to rely on in our hands, how can we compare with the folding family? β
Yang Yanguang said in a low voice: "Is it wrong for us to be loyal to the imperial court?" β
As soon as Yang Yanguang said this, the three brothers were silent.
Is it wrong to be loyal to the imperial court?
This is a really difficult question to answer.
There is nothing wrong with being a minister and being loyal to the court.
It's just that not all emperors can tolerate the existence of people with high merit and power, and they can't tolerate the existence of people who threaten the throne.
Even if these people were loyal to the imperial court, they could only end up with a tragic death.
"I want to be alone."
After being silent for a long time, Yang Yanding threw down this sentence and went to the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Yang Yanguang also left after him.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, only Yang Yansi was left.
Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are what every ancient person pursues in his life.
Yang Yansi did not have a deep enough understanding of this kind of education, so he could not give birth to the righteousness of sacrificing his life for loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.
But he can understand the entanglement and embarrassment in the hearts of the two brothers.
