Chapter 239: Two-Year Plan
Xie Anshi no longer hesitated, and decided to escape first, and then find an opportunity to ask Elder Song about today's matter in the future.
With his mind decided, Xie Anshi slowly approached the wall on the edge of the square. When he got closer, he suddenly got lucky, forced Elder Song away with one move, and then retreated backwards, and at the same time jumped over the wall.
"Don't let him run, chase after him." When Li Shirong saw that the beaked duck was about to fly, he was shocked and shouted loudly.
The four elders glanced at each other, and then chased after Xie Anshi.
Xie Anshi finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, but he dared to stay and fled straight to the outside of the village without looking back.
Half an hour later, Li Shirong saw the four elders come back after counting the battlefield, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Xie Anshi?" Did you catch him? ”
Elder Song shook his head: "The terrain near Yunluo Mountain Villa is complicated, and we are not as familiar with the terrain as him, so we were run away by him. ”
Li Shirong's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, but he remembered that the other party was all masters, and he was just a subordinate who had just surrendered, if he angered the other party, he might kill himself, and then Yang Yi would scold them at most.
I had to swallow the accusatory words back: "What should I do then?" Sect Master Yang has explained, and Xie Anshi must be arrested. ”
Li Shirong also wanted to use Yang Yi's name to put pressure on the four of them, but the four of them secretly laughed, but Sect Master Yang asked them to secretly release Xie Anshi.
Elder Song said quietly: "Lord Li, don't worry, although Xie Anshi escaped from the villa, his consumption is too great, and he will definitely not be able to run far, you quickly order someone to search nearby, maybe you can find his traces." ”
"That's all there is to it." Li Shirong sighed, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Give me a fire to burn this villa, and then go to the neighborhood to search, and you must find Xie Anshi." ”
"Sect Master, Feng Bomou committed suicide, Xie Anshi was also let go by us, his son Xie Daoxuan and Feng Tao, the prince of Qin, were temporarily placed in the barracks by me, what should we do with them?" At this time, in Sucheng City, Shi Luosheng disguised himself as an ordinary general, standing beside Yang Yi, listening to his instructions.
Shi Luosheng thought for a while: "Feng Tao can't stay in the Qin State, otherwise he will be used to carry out restoration, so it is better to send him to Naha and hand him over to the custody of the Lord of Takenaka City." Before he leaves, let him write a letter to the Taishou of Shanggu and other cities, and let them all surrender to my Tianluo Sect. As for Xie Daoxuan, he was also sent to Naha with Feng Tao, where Uncle Hua was in charge, even if Xie Anshi came to the door, he would not be Uncle Hua's opponent. ”
"What about Li Shirong and Liu Hongyu? After Xie Anshi escaped, he would definitely publicize their murder of the monarch everywhere, and then they would become the public enemies of the whole people, and if we use their words again, will it make the people of Qin even more disgusted with us? Yang Yi asked with some concern.
Shi Luosheng shook his head with a smile: "Li Shirong is the prime minister of the Qin State, although this person's character is not very good, he is also a great talent, and it would be a pity to abandon it." ”
Liu Zixuan, who was standing on the side, was anxious: "I can understand that you use them to appease the hearts of the generals, but why should you reuse them, aren't you afraid of offending the people?" ”
"No, as long as we don't directly exacerbate the conflict with the people, the people hate them more than we do. Besides, if the Qin State is newly determined, if you want to regain the hearts of the people, you must use the Qin people to govern Qin, if you reuse other ministers, can you compare the talent of Li Shirong for the time being, not to mention for the time being, in case they want to rebel, as long as they ascend and shout, someone will immediately raise the banner of righteousness in response, and then we will be passive. ”
But Li Shirong is different, even if they are in power, the people will only fear them, not obey them. As soon as I take back their power one day, the people will immediately rebel and attack them, and then they will be the unlucky ones. ”
"The sect leader is right, even if they want to rebel after bearing the name of killing the king, no one will respond, the sect leader gives them the power to protect themselves, and they also understand that once they lose these powers, what awaits them? Therefore, he can only serve us wholeheartedly, and dare not have other two hearts. Yang Yi echoed and secretly admired Shi Luosheng's grasp of people's hearts.
"It turns out that there are so many Taos in here, and it is really cheap for the two of them." Liu Zixuan is still angry.
Everyone smiled and ignored it.
"General, in addition to the crown prince of Qin, there is another person we must also be careful against, and that is Bai Mengqi, the general of Qin." Wang Lun suddenly reminded.
"Bai Mengqi? Isn't he being besieged by Yan Chixing in Handan City? I don't think he can last long, with his status as a famous general of his generation, he will not be like Li Shirong, surrender to Yan Chixing after the city is broken, right? Liu Zixuan asked strangely.
Wang Lun smiled: "The important ministers of the Qin State are not all soft eggs, according to the normal logic of development, Bai Mengqi should choose to die on the day the city is broken, but if there is a variable, it will be on Yan Chixing." ”
Liu Zixuan was still puzzled.
Shi Luosheng nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Wang said is right, Xiao Yan once sent Xiao Yin to replace Yan Chixing, but Yan Chixing was delayed by Yan Chixing's plan, which shows that Yan Chixing also has the same heart of division as Deng Yuanjue." I went with him to attack Qin, he paid more than us, and in the end he only gained one Yanzhou, while we got three-quarters of Qin's territory, and he must have felt uncomfortable. Coupled with the geographical location, it is impossible for him to lead his troops back to the Song Kingdom, so he can only take us as the next strategic target. ”
"Even if Yan Chixing plans to start a war with us, what does this have to do with Bai Mengqi? Bai Mengqi won't help him. Liu Zixuan was still confused.
Wang Lun explained: "After Yan Chixing occupied Handan, the army in his hands was only 150,000, and after we incorporated the forbidden army in Sucheng, the army that could be used has exceeded 200,000. If he wants to win against us, he can only let Qin Guo mess up first, so that he will have a chance. ”
"I understand, Yan Chi will deliberately let Bai Mengqi go and let him come to Qin to organize the people to revolt. We have just destroyed the Qin State, and now we want to reuse Li Shirong, the people don't want to see us, and the Bai family is a big family of the Qin State, and they usually have nothing to do with the people, if Bai Mengqi raises his arms, there will definitely be many people who respond. Liu Zixuan suddenly realized.
Yang Yi thought for a while and proposed: "If Bai Mengqi really comes back, it will definitely bring us a lot of trouble in the short term, and we must eliminate this hidden danger at the source." I propose that the Flying Star Hall Master Layton lead the team to send experts from my Star Sect to Handan City to monitor Bai Mengqi's movements day and night, and if it is really as Mr. Wang said, on Bai Mengqi's way back to Qin, he will be captured alive. ”
"Good way." Shi Luosheng praised: "Handan is located in the center of Yanzhou, even if Yan Chixing lets Bai Mengqi go, he doesn't dare to let him escape with his troops, otherwise he won't be able to wait to return to Qin, and he will directly revolt in Yanzhou." If Bai Mengqi, who was alone, ran into the Lei Hall Master and them, he could only be captured alive. ”
Wang Lun also praised: "Sect Master Yang is indeed clever in taking precautions and resolving the crisis before it breaks out. As long as Qindi is not chaotic, Yan Chixing will not dare to trade and use troops, and after two years, we will use overseas trade to develop Qindi's economy, and then it will be our turn to clean him up. ”
"Yes, as long as the hidden danger can be successfully lifted this time, Qindi will not use troops on a large scale in the next two years, and our focus is on restoring people's livelihood and stimulating the economy. In the past two years, the internal affairs of Qin were handed over to Li Shirong, and the military affairs were handed over to Gao Kegong. Wang Chiji, Yin Baoli, Wu Hualiu, and Ji Luer stayed behind to assist them. A few of us temporarily returned to Rongcheng to secretly help Unyielding Rising. Shi Luosheng announced the strategic direction and personnel arrangements for Qindi in the next two years.
There is consideration for letting Li Shirong and Gao Kegong partner Shi Luosheng, Li Shirong can only do his job well in order to save his life and his family, and it is impossible to have other crooked thoughts. And handing over military power to Gao Kegong is not because of how good his military ability is, but because he is also infamous for killing kings like Li Shirong.
Even if he has a different heart, he will not be supported by the people and the family. In fact, his use of troops is only decent, above average, at least Wang Chiji and they are no worse than him. Let them be Gao Kegong's deputy, which is also convenient for monitoring and preventing unexpected things from happening.
Letting Gao Kegong be in charge of the military of Qindi has two advantages, one is that he can serve him more loyally, and the other is also to show goodwill to Gao Yi, the imperial lieutenant of the Song State, if he cooperates with the Song State or goes to war in the future, there is a person in the court who can help him speak.
"Great Sima, just came the news that Sucheng was taken by the Tianluo Sect, and Emperor Feng Bomou of Qin was also killed by Li Shirong and Liu Hongyu, and the Qin State was destroyed." In the camp of the Song army under Handan City, Wu Changchen was reporting to Yan Chixing the information he had just received.
Yan Chixing flashed a trace of unhappiness: "Sucheng is the capital of the Qin State, I thought that Feng Bomou would be able to defend it for three years and five years, as long as the Qi State sends another army to help, we still have a chance to achieve the final victory, but I didn't expect to let these two traitors be ruined." ”
Ji Yun was also angry: "At the beginning, we sent 80,000 troops, and the Tianluo Sect only sent 30,000 troops, and in the end, they occupied three times more territory than us, which is really hateful." ”
"Bai Mengqi is about to be unable to hold on, after we take Handan, take advantage of the fact that the people of Tianluo Sect are not attached, and send troops to Jizhou, right?" Wu Changchen proposed.
"This is not the best policy, even if they are not attached to the people's will, but they can mobilize more troops than us now, I am afraid that they will not be able to win by hard fighting, if you want to win, you still have to find another way, Ji Yun, you go and make an appointment with General Bai for me, I will talk to him tomorrow afternoon." Yan Chixing thought for a moment and said.
The next day, the two armies lined up and went down to Handan City, and Bai Mengqi stood at the front of the team and shouted: "Why did Da Sima ask me to go out of the city today?" ”
