Chapter 435: An ally who looks like a god
Chu Dongsheng's suspicion is not groundless. With {dream} small ◢.1a
The fierce Di people on the grassland have always been wolf ambitions, even if the fierce Di Khan's ambition has subsided over the years, and he is no longer as radical as he was young, but the fierce Di people's peeping heart for the vast Central Plains has never been reduced.
Outsiders only know that Yang Jie of the Daguang Imperial Capital has a great relationship with the fierce Di people, but Chu Dongsheng knows that the two forces have always been inseparable, just like the momentum of fire and water, and now it looks the same, but in the end, whether the water will extinguish the fire or the fire will boil the water dry, there will only be one ending, it is only a matter of time.
In recent years, Yang Jie's power in the Central Plains has become more and more consolidated, if it weren't for Li Cen in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that he would have already unified the Central Plains.
Once Yang Yi obtains Qing and Erzhou, he will not only obtain a very strategically important place, but also obtain an excellent horse farm, whether he continues to try to take the Central Plains or confront the fierce Di in the north, he will take the lead.
Yang Jie understands this, Chu Dongsheng also understands this, and the fierce people know this.
The reason why Yang Jie did not go north from the land, but took the risk of taking the waterway to send surprise troops into the land of Shuize was because he wanted to seize the opportunity before the fierce people.
"I said that we attacked Qingzhou by water, the news is extremely secretive, how could it be predicted in advance by General Wang Fei, it turned out that the fierce Di people were obstructing it!" Chu Dongsheng said angrily.
The leader of the guard also said resentfully: "The fierce Di people are so deceitful, they are much closer to Qingzhou than us, but until now, their 50,000 troops are still grinding on the road, and they have not launched an attack for a long time, it turns out that they have already controlled Qingzhou, just waiting for us to enter the urn!" ”
Chu Dongsheng closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I told Your Majesty a long time ago that working with the fierce Di people is like dancing with wolves, and sooner or later there will be problems, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!" ”
"My lord, then let's quickly return to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to withdraw the forbidden army, right?" The leader of the guards hurried.
"It's too late..."Chu Dongsheng shook his head and said: "Even if the news is transmitted back to the imperial capital without stopping, and then it will be transferred from the imperial capital to the forbidden army, it will take at least half a month, and by that time, I am afraid that the 20,000 soldiers of the forbidden army will already become white bones." ”
The leader of the guard said, "That... That's how it should be. ”
Chu Dongsheng didn't speak when he heard this, but paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Get a pen and paper!" ”
Hearing this, the leader of the guards hurriedly took the ink, Chu Dongsheng took the brush, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely began to write.
After a letter, Chu Dongsheng took out another piece of paper and wrote another letter, then carefully sealed the two letters, handed them to the head of the guard, and said, "One will be sent to the imperial capital to Your Majesty, and the other will be sent to the Kyoto Forbidden Army in the east." ”
After a pause, he advised: "If someone asks, they will say that they are going back to the imperial capital to report safety." ”
The leader of the guards was stunned for a moment, then understood what Chu Dongsheng wanted to do, and exclaimed, "My lord, this... This is a bit inappropriate. ”
Chu Dongsheng's Kyoto forbidden army in the land of Mizusawa naturally wanted to inform them of the situation and let them retreat. However, the Kyoto Forbidden Army has always directly accepted the edict of Emperor Yang Jie, and others have no right to be transferred, so Chu Dongsheng's behavior may be inappropriate.
Chu Dongsheng shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no other way to do it, you can't watch 20,000 good men die in Huangquan." ”
Seeing that the leader of the guards was still a little hesitant, Chu Dongsheng shouted: "If you are told to go, you will go, I am the chief officer of this trip, and I will bear all the blame alone." ”
The leader of the guard couldn't, so he had to arch his hand and say, "My subordinates obey orders..."
Soon, the news that Chu Dongsheng had sent a secret messenger reached Yang Yi's ears.
Qingzhou Thorn History Mansion ---
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Haha, Chu Dongsheng has taken the bait! ”
Murong Sinan walked into the lobby excitedly and said happily.
Yang Yi was checking the "Elements of the Book of Horses" in General Wang Fei's mansion, which recorded some details and processes of raising war horses.
Seeing Murong Sinan walking in happily, Yang Yi only paused slightly, continued to read, and said with a smile: "Is there any movement?" ”
Murong Sinan nodded and smiled: "Just now the South Gate City Gate official came with news that the two messengers of the capital mission have left the city, and the person who followed them reported that after the two messengers traveled twenty miles, they parted ways, one to the south and the other to the east. ”
Yang Yi nodded, and sighed unexpectedly: "My fourth brother... Still too radical. ”
After a pause, he said, "What about the fierce people?" ”
Murong Sinan said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, those fierce war criminals who pretended to be my guards have been imprisoned by me in the deepest part of the military prison, and I will never leak the news." ”
It turned out that Murong Sinan's strong "guards" were indeed fierce Di people, but they were not guards, but fierce Di prisoners of war captured by the Qingzhou Army when they fought against the fierce Di people before.
Yang Yi nodded, and asked again, "Is the order out?" ”
Murong Sinan replied: "Well, according to your meaning, an order has been conveyed to the passes along the way, so that they must not stop Chu Dongsheng's messenger. In addition, an order was also sent to the Qingzhou Army, which was resisting the forbidden army in Kyoto, that the enemy could not be pursued if he retreated. ”
Yang Yi put down the book, took a sip of a cup of tea, and said with satisfaction: "The tea in the north is very good, and it is more dry, pure and fragrant than the tea in the south." ”..
Murong Sinan didn't have the heart to talk about the tea ceremony with Yang Yi at this time, so he gave Yang Yi a thumbs up and said, "Everything was expected by His Highness, and it was really like a god." ”
Yang Yi glanced at Murong Sinan and said, "You should learn from Monkey Jian'er for this kind of learning, if you are too straightforward, it will seem to be scolding." ”
Murong Sinan scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I'm just telling the truth." ”
"Well, this sentence is a bit of a sycophant." Yang Yi stood up and said with a smile: "It's not that I expect things like gods, it's because Diqing and the fierce Di people themselves are just allies of interests, and mutual suspicion is absolutely inevitable." ”
Murong Sinan agreed: "In order to seize the opportunity, Yang Jie invaded Qingzhou by sea without telling the fierce Di people. The fierce Di people were even more ruthless, after learning that Yang Jie's 20,000 troops were blocked in the land of Shuize, they simply slowed down the march, and the path of two hundred miles actually allowed them to walk for more than ten days, even a pig should be arched to Qingzhou. ”
Yang Yi said with a smile: "The fierce Di people want the Qingzhou army to consume the strength of Yang Jie's army, if it weren't for us to see through Yang Jie's tricks and secretly rush to Qingzhou, everyone knows that the flying general is difficult to support alone, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion."
So whether it is Yang Jie of Diqing or Hu Yan of the Steppe Wolf's Lair, they know better than anyone who their real enemy is. ”
"Then what should we do next?" Murong Sinan asked.
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Is there any news from the flying general?" ”
"Yesterday at noon, General Wang's military marquis sent news for the last time, they have arrived at Niulan Mountain, which is three hundred miles away from Bingzhou City, and they have entered the territory of Bingzhou Capital at this time."
Yang Yining said: "Now it's up to the flying general, only by taking the state can we have the strength to fight with the fierce Di people..."
