Chapter 657 Revenge from Yan Kingdom
In this era, information is blocked, and in addition to the method of transmission letters, the greatest way is still word of mouth, and businessmen who travel from south to north have become an important factor in message transmission.
This time, Dayan rewarded Wencheng as a military general, and the children of the Hanmen had a chance to get ahead in Dayan, and many people were moved.
However, the courts of various countries do not like this kind of rumor, even if the children of the Han family are not reused in the vassal states and it is difficult to enter the court, if the climate is formed, a large number of scribes and warriors will go north to Yan State, and it will inevitably form a trend of going to Dayan to seek officials.
It may not affect the children of the family, abandon the country, and pursue personal honor.
More importantly, the reward of Dayan was too heavy, which aroused the envy of many officials in the vassal states, and even more, some officials wrote a letter suggesting that they follow the example of Yan and reward officials.
It was suggested that he be impeached, but many middle- and lower-level generals quietly left the team and went north to Dayan, hoping to gain fame.
There were more and more rumors, and the princes of the vassal states had to deal with it, forcibly set up checkpoints in various places, inquire about the people who came and went, and even imposed the most severe punishment on deserters in the army, and once they were found, they were killed on the spot!
Southern scribes and warriors, on the way to Dayan.
Yanguo, Yanjing City!
Lin Feng sent someone to secretly execute the assassin and killer of the Song State, and sent someone to make a list and send him directly to the Song State.
If it weren't for the long distance between the two places, the hot weather, and the fact that the corpses were not easy to preserve, Lin Feng would even take the trouble to send someone to transport the corpses of those people back to the Song Kingdom, so that Lin Shuying could see with his own eyes what would happen to him.
Lin Feng was furious, and the punishment of Song Guo was by no means a simple killing of some assassins that would be subsided. Withdraw the troops stationed at the border of Yan and Song, and within two days, all 200,000 troops will return to Nandaying!
In addition, he secretly sent Feng Shihu to lead 100,000 ironclad cavalry, day and night, and stationed in the road leading to Zhaodi Mountain from Cangyan Mountain before ordering Huzang to withdraw his army.
This move created the illusion that after the army led by Huzang to leave, the Yan army gave up the illusion of confrontation with the Song army, and if the Song army sent spies to Dazhou to inspect, I am afraid that Feng Shihu's army would not be detected.
This time, Lin Feng's revenge on the Song State is not unserious, seeing that the Song and Chen countries have always been at odds with each other, only in recent years, the Chen State has slightly dispelled the hatred of the Song State, and the Song State attacked the Zheng State, and the two countries are even more enemies, and the Song State is currently harming the interests of the Yan State one after another.
Although Song was big, he was surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, and Lin Feng began to be tempted, trying to contact Chen and Zheng, and began to slowly encroach on the Yan Kingdom!
Once proposed, Zheng Guo not only agreed to cooperate with Yan Guo, but also sent a large amount of money and food to prove Zheng Guo's sincerity.
After all, at this moment, Dayan proposed to deal with Song Guo, which was simply a relief for Zheng Guo and resolved Zheng Guo's crisis.
At the critical juncture of attacking Zheng State, Chen Guo did not want to give up Zheng State and attack Song instead, but was told by Li Mengchang that Song was strong and there would be no peace in the north, and Chen State bore the brunt of Song's annexation and lobbying.
Song Guo, Kaifeng,
A few days ago, Lin Shuying learned about Dayan's reward for the three armies, and was impressed by Lin Feng, but thinking that Lin Feng might be assassinated, and for a long time to come, he must be in the dormant stage, Lin Shuying was secretly happy.
She didn't erase Lin Feng's thoughts for the time being, she only felt that Yan Guo's powerful speed was too fast, and Lin Feng's actions were too high-profile, so she should hit the other party's arrogance.
It's a pity that after receiving the news today, Lin Feng was not assassinated, but on the contrary, he quickly strangled the assassins and killers sent by the Song State to Dayan by thunderous means, and even uprooted the Red Powder Society that had been lurking in Yan Land for many years.
In this battle, Song Guo did not get any gains, not to mention, in the Yanjing City Intelligence Agency, almost all lost, if you want to re-organize, it will take at least more than half a year!
Even more hateful, after Lin Feng killed people, he sent the killing list thousands of miles away, and Lin Shuying felt that he was insulted.
Majesty was provoked, and he was ready to send people to clear out the members of the Yan State in the Song State, and in addition, he was ready to withdraw the chaebol in the Yan State and prohibit commercial transactions with the Yan State.
What's more, in this battle, not only the Song State had a loss, but also the other southern vassal states also had losses, Lin Shuying was ready to unite the southern vassal states, isolate the Yan State, and impose an economic blockade on the Yan State.
However, the plan was too late to be implemented, and Lin Shuying personally experienced Lin Feng's despicability.
The other party's 200,000 cavalry stationed on the border of Yan and Song, the border between Yan and Song and Song was in a state of no war, and the intelligence system was uprooted, which made Lin Shuying very angry, and when he learned about the border between Yan and Song, he still suppressed his anger.
In the event that the assassins of the Song Kingdom disrupted the Great Yan Festival, according to Lin Feng's character, he should lead the army south to fight in person, no matter how bad it is, he must send the main generals to lead the troops to fight!
Unexpectedly, after the Yan Army withdrew from the border between the two countries, it had no intention of fighting, and for a while, Lin Shuying was completely puzzled.
Silence does not mean that there is no resistance, and sometimes, it often does not perish in silence, but explodes in silence!
Obviously, Yan Guo chose the latter, the Yan army never went south, but the news of the Zheng army gathering superior forces and counterattacking on the front line came, and Lin Shuying and his advisers were panicked.
The day before yesterday, Lin Shuying was worried that the assassins would fail to destroy Yanjing City, and the Yan army would retaliate, so he was ready to send his generals to lead the troops to the Bishan area to prepare for the Yan army.
Now, the Zheng army in the south has launched a counterattack, and although there is no direct contact, it seems to be inextricably linked to the Yan state.
More importantly, this information suggests that Chen, an ally of the Song state, seems to have become less reliable than it once was.
Chen Song attacked Zheng, and the Zheng army gathered superior forces to resist the Song State, but he had no scruples about the Chen State in the east, there was no need to guess, and Lin Shuying also knew that Chen and Zheng must have reached some kind of agreement in secret.
These agreements were all after the Song State offended the Yan State.
Soon, Lin Shuying realized that the withdrawal of Yan State, the withdrawal of Chen State, and the counterattack of Zheng Army, things would definitely not be so appropriate.
Yesterday, Zheng Guozhong's spies sent back the news, saying that Li Zhao was a quick decision, and he had been friends with Yan for a long time, and he did not hesitate to secretly send a large amount of silver and grain to Yang Guo in exchange for Yan Guo's support.
coincided with the assassination of Lin Feng by the Song Kingdom, which completely made Lin Feng lively, and the two sides hit it off, forming an alliance, preparing to attack the Song Kingdom from the north and south.
The situation seemed to be much worse than expected, and the storm seemed to come sooner than expected.
If it is said that in the past, when the Song and Yan countries were allied, Lin Shuying was not worried about Yan and Chen, but now Yan and Song are enemies, he is not worried about the Yan army attacking from the north, and the Chen army is taking advantage of the fire behind the fire to rob.
Lin Shuying quickly summoned the ministers and expressed their inner concerns, and many ministers in the court and the central government agreed, feeling that the Yan State had already premeditated, and for a while, Lin Shuying suddenly found that after the Yan State swept away the power of the northern princes, when it began to go south, regardless of the Chen State in the east, the Zheng State in the south, and the Yan State in the north, they all had suspicions with the Song State.
I don't know if the character of the Song State is not good, and he has a bad relationship with it, or whether it is that from the time of the Chen Song Yan Alliance, Lin Feng began to calculate the Song Kingdom.
Now, the three vassal states seem to be a huge encirclement of the Song State tightly wrapped in it, and if they attack at the same time, the Song army will definitely not be able to bear to fight outside.
What's more important is that the three vassal states counterattacked the Song State at the same time, it is by no means that Lin Shuying is worried about the sky, according to the situation and relationship of the four countries, it is very likely to happen, Yan and Chen have good relations, and the current Zheng State has a relationship with Yan State, and the situation is very bad!
Knowing the situation of the Song State, Prime Minister Qin Ming immediately said: "Your Majesty, Yan Guo is planning to unite with Zheng Guo and persuade Chen Guo to give up his immediate interests and form a joint situation of the Three Kingdoms, which is nothing more than a passage to the south, and Chen Guo is bound to win the territory of Zheng State, only Zheng Guo is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Yan Chen at all, and more importantly, Yan Guo is blackmailing Zheng Guo this time, and the two sides may not have friendly talks, as long as His Majesty agrees to cede the land; Leave the southward passage of Yan State, so that Yan forces infiltrate into the south, not only the Song army will retaliate against the Yan army, the Zheng army will also retaliate against the Yan army, if Yan State forcibly swallows Zheng State, in the future, the Song State will attack from the north and south, cut off the passage of Yan State to the south, and make every effort to eliminate Yan State's forces in the south, Zheng Guo's old land will sooner or later fall into the hands of Song State, and then unite with the vassal states on the south bank of the Yangtze River, wave his army to the north, and will definitely hit Yan State hard. ”
Qin Ming's plan seemed to be very good, but it was denied by Liu Zhuoya on the spot, and the other party said bluntly: "The Yan people are cunning, if the forces penetrate the south, they will definitely take the lead in uniting the Chen State and the Zheng State, and deal a heavy blow to the power of the Song State, so they will rest assured that they will go south, after all, no one likes to have a powerful vassal state in their own land, so it is definitely not appropriate to cut the land, and it is even more nonsense to let the Yan State infiltrate the south, so not only will it not destroy the Yan State, but the Song State is digging its own grave." ”
"That's right, the matter of cutting the land is absolutely impossible, the kings of the Song Kingdom, even if the situation is difficult, they have not surrendered without a fight, and the land is preserved," Jian Ye also did not agree with Qin Ming's suggestion, the Song State was not weak enough to continue with the land cutting, not to mention, once the land was cut, not to mention being ridiculed by the vassal states, the Yan State was bound to get worse.
What's more, cutting the land will lose people's hearts, Yan Guo is trying to gather people's hearts, how can Song Guo do something to destroy people's hearts?
Once the people of the Song State lose their cohesion, it will be a disaster for the Song State, so even if they fight to the end, they cannot cut the land.
Lin Shuying regards Liu Zhuoya, Jian Ye and others as confidants, and attaches great importance to the opinions of the two, in addition, her thoughts are also closer to Liu Zhuoya and others, and she would rather die than give in and fight to the end.
The Song army did not capture Zheng for a long time, not because the Song army was not strong in combat effectiveness, on the contrary, the Song army was superior to Zheng Guo in combat effectiveness, however, Zheng Guo had a sense of shame from top to bottom, and when encountering foreign enemies, the monarchs and ministers worked together, and the government and the opposition faced together, even if the Song army was strong in armament, in the face of a group of fanatics who were not afraid of death, the pace of progress was also hindered.
Therefore, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, in the face of Yan Guo, Song Jun could not be soft, without the slightest hesitation, Lin Shuying stared at Liu Zhuoya, Jian Ye, Tian Xu and asked: "Liu Zhuoya, in addition to cutting the land, tell me your opinion!" ”
