Chapter 073: Shuo Fang's infighting
Shuofang Palace!
Liang Shidu was frowning at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces under the court, and roared dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu raised you all to eat dry rice? We don't even have the ability to guard the seedling field, and if we don't solve the problem of seedlings, what will we eat in the autumn? Cannibalism? ”
The more Liang Shidu talked, the more angry he became, he threw the exquisite tea vessel in his hand on the ground and fell apart, pointing at a strong man who looked very similar to himself and scolded: "Liang Luoren, you are such a general, you can't do anything to deal with the stragglers of the Tang Dynasty, can I still count on you to defend the country?" ”
Liang Luoren's face turned pale, but he was speechless, he had been busy for more than half a year, and he really had no choice but to come to sabotage the Tang Cavalry!
Shuofang is also called Xiazhou in the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang changed the two-level system of counties and counties to the two-level system of prefectures and counties, abolished the title of Shuofang County in the Sui Dynasty, and changed it to Xiazhou. Changshi Liu Min and Sima Liu Lan are the two yin males that Li Shimin Ted deployed to deal with Liang Shidu. One of them is responsible for dividing the Liang Kingdom, and the other is responsible for using force, destroying the fields, and cutting off the prospect of Shuofang.
Liang Shi was upset, and the recent passing year was unfavorable. The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and they are most touched by the Turkic town guarding the border passes, and the Tang Dynasty adopted the military system of the 12 armies in Guanzhong, which is to put it bluntly, the Guanzhong is divided into 12 regions, and the military government is established and the soldiers are trained.
The main combat power of the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world came from the Twelfth Army in this pass, known as the Twelve Army's defense of the world, so at that time, Li Tang's army presented two extremes. Guanzhong was already a fierce people, and the division of the 12th Army was led by Li Shimin himself, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong. However, because the main battle force of the Tang Dynasty was dominated by the 12th Army, the combat effectiveness of the border army was relatively poor.
In the past, once Liang Shidu had an economic crisis, he said hello to the Turkic father, and he could return with a full load after entering the country and plundering. But with the unification of the world, the center of gravity of Datang began to bias towards the periphery, and the combat effectiveness of the border army also became stronger.
The year before last, the Turkic laborers moved the crowd into the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic Lao Tzu who was welcomed by the Liang division not only gave him a little soup to drink, but hundreds of thousands of troops were still eating and drinking in Shuofang, and Shuofang was poor and white.
At that time, Yang Wengan's rebellion had just subsided, the Xuanwumen Change, the Tang Dynasty was unstable, and Li Shimin, who had ascended the throne in victory, had not yet had time to appoint a military governor in the north, and the military power was somewhat scattered, which was an opportunity for him to profit from it.
But with Li Jing sitting in Lingzhou, Li Ji sitting in Bingzhou, and Zhang Gongjin, Liang Shi found that he could no longer defeat the Tang Dynasty border army with his military strength, and during the New Year, he intended to take advantage of the festive surprise attack on Yanzhou, which had no famous figures, and originally planned to plunder it for a good year. But who would have thought that Duan Decao, the unknown Yanzhou Thorn History, was a powerful figure in both civil and military affairs, and when he heard the news, he directly led 5,000 soldiers and horses to intercept him along the way and drove him back to Shuofang, and lost thousands of people after looting. In the winter of last year, because there was really no way to continue, the whole city ate the next year's rice seeds and barely survived the cold winter. At the beginning of spring this year, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother to get rice seeds from the Turks, who thought that the seedlings were not yet thumb high, so the Tang army was ruined, and no seedlings meant no hope, no food, and no everything.
In the face of this scene, there are more and more fugitives.
So far, it is still under control, but once the rice planting envoy is over, the peasants still can't get the spring seedlings, as long as they are not fools, they can analyze that the famine is coming. At that time, the mass exodus will not be beyond his control.
Liang Shidu saw this key, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so he could only take his subordinates out of anger.
"Your Majesty, the general is in charge of major affairs in the army, and it is understandable that he doesn't care about the details. The rice fields were guarded by General Li Zhengbao, and there were rumors about General Li in the city. There is no wind and no waves! Your Majesty. It was Feng Duan who spoke.
Feng Duan is the latest general promoted by Liang Shidu, he has followed him for many years, he is loyal to him, and he has never disobeyed him. Liang Shi was extremely arrogant and couldn't listen to the opinions of others, and Feng Duan's subordinates who gave him orders like a holy decree were the most appetizing to him.
Liang Shidu suddenly woke up, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, Li Zhengbao is a general under his command, his status is extraordinary, and he is second only to the existence of the general Liang Luoren, during this time, rumors about Li Zhengbao letting the Tang army rebel and intending to capture Liang Shi to return to Tang are flying all over the sky! Because of the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty, rumors spread in Shuofang City, and people were panicked, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. But now that Feng Duan mentioned it, he believed it as soon as the two things were combined, and immediately shouted: "Okay! What a Li Zhengbao, it turns out that you are Li Tang's internal response, come here, pull Li Zhengbao down and cut him, and punish Lao Tzu for his nine clans! ”
"Your Majesty, Feng Duan has a grudge with the minister, he is taking the opportunity to exclude dissidents, and the minister is wronged!" A military general who went there shouted loudly.
Liang Shidu said coldly: "Pull it down and cut it!" Set an example. ”
Liang Luoren stepped out and said, "Your Majesty can't! Since the beginning of the incident, General Li has been loyal and dedicated to the country, and at this time of national crisis, he should be sincerely united! Your Majesty dismissed General Li, wouldn't he cut off his arm? Don't you think it's a coincidence that the Tang Army didn't destroy the seedling field early and didn't destroy the seedling field later, but when Li Zhengbao guarded it? Feng Duan and Li Zhengbao have old grudges, who doesn't know, he is a communiqué personal vendetta, Your Majesty Mingjian! ”
"Your Majesty, the last general Xin Fang'er can also guarantee General Li Zhengbao." Xin Fang'er is a sturdy northland man, who looks majestic and mighty, and has a bit of the style of a prairie person!
"The last general Zhao Feiyang ......"
"The Last Cowboy ......"
……
Several generals under the command of Liang Shidu were listed in turn as guarantees.
A trace of heavy murderous intent flashed from Liang Shidu's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Li Zhengbao, you are a hussar general, not a prostitute skill, you can't even hold the fucking seedling field, get out of Lao Tzu!" Go home and prostitute your mother. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Li Zhengbao handed over the seal letter and left indifferently.
Liang Shidu said: "Feng Duan, from today onwards, you are my hussar general. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Duan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
dealt with Li Zhengbao, but still couldn't solve the current predicament, and Liang Shidu's brows were locked in one place.
The refusal of the Tang Dynasty to surrender was naturally not because of loyalty to the Turks. It's really that Liang Shi can't let go of the power in his hands, and he doesn't want to be a prince of peace and enjoy the so-called glory and wealth in Chang'an. There is also the danger of being cleaned.
But Datang's move is indeed ruthless, destroying the fields outside to cut off their rations, and attacking their hearts internally, which makes them panic all day long.
And so on. Datang doesn't even attack it. They can't support it themselves.
"You have to think of a way!" Liang Shi said to himself, but the brow like a ninety-year-old man indicated his state of mind.
Be at one's wits' end!
Xiazhou Shuofang is the hometown of Liang Shidu, the Liang family has been a wealthy family in this place for generations, and the family background is very rich, and he himself was appointed as the general of the Ying Yang Mansion of the Sui Dynasty at a young age. Holding the power of the army, he has been powerful and prosperous in Shuofang for many years, and the huge Liang family is planned and decided by him alone, so that he can't listen to the opinions of others.
After many years, there is no one to discuss with him what to do.
Liang Shidu didn't care much at first, feeling that the intelligence of his subordinates was not as good as his, and it didn't matter if he listened to their advice or not.
It wasn't until today that Liang Shidu realized that there was really no one around him who could be trusted. Not in normal times, let alone in a critical moment now.
After thinking about it, and thinking about it in the end, there is still only one way...... Hug your thighs.
Although the Turkic civil strife is now, Jieli is a little too busy to take care of himself, but they also don't want to lose Shuofang, an important gateway to the Tang Dynasty, no matter how difficult it is, they should still lend a helping hand for their own future interests. Thinking of this, Liang Shidu said: "General! ”
"The minister is here!" Liang Luoren stepped forward and saluted.
Liang Shidu has already proclaimed himself emperor, the founding name is "Liang", and the name of the first era is Yonglong. Although the territory of the person is not big, he has really been the hidden emperor for a few years. He attaches great importance to the concept of identity, and feels that he is the son of heaven, and he thinks he is different. Even if a cousin meets him, he must be respectfully addressed as "Your Majesty" or "Saint" or other emperor titles, and can no longer be called a brother.
Originally, Liang Luoren and Liang Shidu had a good relationship, Liang Shidu was able to kill Tang Shizong of Shuofang County and occupy Shuofang County to rebel, Liang Luoren can be regarded as the first hero.
But after Liang Shidu became the emperor, suddenly the shelf was bigger, the emperor was full of majesty, Liang Luoren was dissatisfied, and the affection between brothers had almost worn off over the years.
Liang Shidu doesn't know Liang Luoren's mentality, even if he does, it doesn't matter, he is the Son of Heaven, and of course he is high.
"You go to the grassland quickly, go to meet Jieli Khan, tell him about our situation here, 1510, let him come up with an idea, or allocate me a little soldiers and horses, let me go south to Kouluoqingzhou and Yanzhou, they destroy my fields, then Lao Tzu will kill their people, rob them of their rations, and see who is ruthless."
Liang Luoren also knew that this was the only way at present, and said lightly: "Understood!" "Hmm!" Liang Shidu pondered for a while and said, "At present, the state affairs are difficult, and the cunning Tang Army does not know when to come out. On the day the general left, General Feng Duan temporarily took up the post of general, do you think so? ”
"Minister, no objection!" Liang Luoren also retreated.
A hint of pride flashed in Liang Shidu's eyes, and he once felt that Liang Luoren was the traitor he suspected and wanted to take him down. But Liang Luoren is like Han Xin in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Geng Yi in the Western Han Dynasty, with a very high status of merit, once he is moved, it will make the already panicked Liang State more dangerous, so he endured a breath and planned to slowly start cutting Liang Luoren's military power.
Liang Shidu, who was immersed in self-satisfaction, didn't notice that His Royal Highness's Xin Fang'er, Zhao Feiyang, and Niu Tong were quickly exchanging glances!
