Chapter 353: Young Master Cheng's Ambition
Cheng Wenyuan knew that if he wanted to gain military power and become the general of the army under Gongsun Yiqing, he must show his ability in front of Gongsun Yiqing and let him go to the border to fight against the Hu people? There is no need to think about this, on the one hand, the border pass is too dangerous, on the other hand, Gongsun Yiqing has a lot of talents, and there are countless generals who can lead the army to fight, even if Cheng Wenyuan performs well, it is difficult to stand out from these people.
What's more, his military ability is average, and in this place where those who can recruit good fighters still have to be ranked by seniority, the possibility of getting out of the crowd is naturally not great.
Liaodong soldiers and horses can fight well, and if they can control an army, it will be a leap for the Cheng family's strength. However, it was not an easy task to get Gongsun Yiqing to hand over a team of soldiers and horses to Cheng Wenyuan to command.
Cheng Wenyuan's ability to command troops to fight is not good, and he is unwilling to go to the border pass to boil his qualifications, so it is unlikely that he will be able to lead the troops, but now that Baihuzhai and the Hu people are colluding, the generals who can fight well in Liaodong have been sent to the border pass, and there is an urgent need for a person who can eradicate the hidden danger of Baihuzhai for Gongsun Yiqing.
Asking Gongsun Yiqing to send his capable generals to the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges will obviously make him not very willing, Liaodong is nervous, the Hu people outside the Saiwai are eyeing him, and a large-scale invasion may occur at any time, and the entire Youzhou is in the midst of a war, Liu Yu once sent someone to Gongsun Yiqing for help, but was refused, which made the assassin even more resentful of Gongsun Yiqing.
Youzhou fell into the war, Liaodong's food supply was completely interrupted, fortunately, in these years, in order to curb the expansion of Gongsun Yiqing's power, Liu Yu deliberately suppressed them in the supply and transportation, and even when Liaodong was at war with the Hu people, he used the excuse to seize the grain and grass transported to Liaodong, delaying time, causing the front-line soldiers to fight against the Hu people hungry.
Gongsun Yiqing was reluctant to send troops to rescue Liu Yu, of course, he had his considerations, but his approach also completely pushed Youzhou into the fire pit, once the Wudou Mi Sect was allowed to occupy Youzhou, then Liaodong would really become a lonely land, and even be trapped alive by the Wudou Mi Sect.
For this reason, the advisors under Gongsun Yiqing constantly warned him that once Youzhou fell into the hands of the Wudou Mi Sect, he was afraid that the situation in Liaodong would be even more severe. The geographical location of Liaodong is peculiar, it is the first place for the Hu people to enter the customs, and the territory of Liaodong is vast, and there is not much land for the people to plant.
Once Liaodong is cut off from the grain route and the supply is cut off, tens of thousands of soldiers at the border will even be in danger of running out of food. Liaodong is a strategic place, should have stored a large amount of grain and strategic materials, but Liu Yu was against Gongsun Yiqing everywhere, and the imperial court vigorously supported Liu Yu, in the political struggle, Gongsun Yiqing has been at a disadvantage, which led to the situation in Liaodong becoming more and more severe.
For the advice of the strategist, Gongsun Yiqing laughed at it, he is not a foolish and loyal person, he stays in the border pass all the year round, he is used to seeing the hot and cold world, and he is extremely disgusted with the extravagance of the Great Chu court.
This made Gongsun Yiqing more and more disappointed in the Great Chu court, and the reason why Gongsun Yiqing guarded the border pass was because he knew that the Hu people were very cruel, and once these tiger and wolf gangsters were allowed to enter the customs, it would be a disaster for all Han people.
Because of this, even if the conditions in Liaodong were very difficult, he always guarded the border pass and did not let the Hu people step into the pass, but although the Hu people were blocked out of the pass by Gongsun Yiqing, because of Liu Yu's relationship, many Hu tribes migrated into Youzhou, which made Gongsun Yiqing both angry and helpless.
The reason why Gongsun Yiqing was reluctant to send troops to rescue Liu Yu was because he believed that as long as he guarded Liaodong, even if the Great Chu Dynasty changed, no one would touch him, whether it was the Wudou Mi Sect or the warlords in various places, they all knew the importance of Liaodong, as long as they were not stupid, they would never make things difficult for the soldiers of Liaodong like Liu Yu, and cheapen the Hu people outside the gate in vain.
Even if Tian Million defeated Youzhou, he would never open the knife to Gongsun Yiqing, once he annoyed Gongsun Yiqing, he opened the gate in a fit of anger and let the Hu people in, not to mention the army of Dachu, that is, the five buckets of rice had to deal with those beasts that came in from outside the pass.
Of course, Gongsun Yiqing hates the Hu people deeply, and even if he dies, he will never let the Hu people enter the customs, because of this, as long as Tian Million is not stupid, even if he defeats Youzhou, he will never dare to embarrass Gongsun Yiqing.
And Gongsun Yiqing also has his own plans, as long as Tian Million takes Dongyang County, then Gongsun Yiqing can send troops to Youzhou to suppress Tian Million on the grounds of counterinsurgency, with the strength of Liaodong, it is not difficult to take Youzhou, but he and Liu Yu are both officials of Dachu, even if they look at each other unpleasantly in the past, Gongsun Yiqing cannot rashly attack Youzhou.
Of course, after Liu Yu was killed by Tian Million, the situation would be different.
Gongsun Yiqing rejected the advice of the strategists, he must go all out at this time to deal with the invasion of the Hu people, and at this time sent troops to Youzhou, on the one hand, to disperse the troops, on the other hand, Gongsun Yiqing did not want to assist Liu Yu to break the enemy.
Liu Yu adopted a soft policy towards the Hu people, which made Gongsun Yiqing very dissatisfied with him. He believed that as long as Liu Yu was in Youzhou for one day, the Hu people would have the opportunity to plant nails in Youzhou and break out at the right time.
Gongsun Yiqing has never been a person who is loyal to the imperial court, otherwise he would not let Baihuzhai sit big, but Cheng Wenyuan brought him the news that Baihuzhai colluded with the Hu people, and after his many investigations, he found that this was indeed the case. Gongsun Yiqing couldn't sit still, for him, the most intolerable thing was to collude with foreign enemies, so the White Tiger Village must be removed.
However, the terrain of the vertical and horizontal mountains is steep, the situation inside is quite complicated, and the soldiers of Liaodong have to stay at the border to defend against foreign enemies, so he must find someone who can provoke the beam and help him get rid of the cancer of Baihu Village.
At this time, Cheng Wenyuan appeared in Gongsun Yiqing's sight, for this person who relied on taking the head of a bandit to exchange for military merits, Gongsun Yiqing didn't take him very seriously, thinking that this person was just a lucky gentleman.
However, Cheng Wenyuan brought him surprises one after another, first inquired about the Hu people's collaboration with the enemy, you must know that even he had concealed this matter, Cheng Wenyuan was able to find out this information, thinking that he often used to exchange a large number of bandit heads for military merits, Gongsun Yiqing couldn't help but groan, could it be that this person is really the nemesis of the bandits? In other words, he is very good at dealing with bandits, Gongsun Yiqing is pacing in the study, and his heart is entangled. (To be continued.) )
