Chapter 138: Rising Brightly and Descending Darkly
"A second force? It's just that at the moment, I'm afraid there are not many strong men in my Dayan people, so how should this second army be formed? Liu Feituo pursed his lips and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the side, the great eunuch Cao Xi looked at the emperor beside him when he looked at the king side by side, his soft eyes were thoughtful, and the saint seemed to be afraid that An Shoufu was not just a simple trust, as an old eunuch who had been in the palace for more than 50 years, and had served the three Yan Emperors before and after, he still had this point of observation.
An Yuexi straightened his posture and raised his head and said: "With Dayan's current situation, it is naturally impossible to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the people, so the minister suggested that 100,000 elite soldiers be recruited from each of the two armies of Shenyang and Shuntian, and then 50,000 soldiers from the defenders from all over the country to form a new army." ”
Liu Feihong, the king of Shenyang standing at the forefront on the right side of His Royal Highness, heard this, his brows couldn't help but tighten, and now the Shenyang army is led by his general Gu Yanli, when Liu Feituo forced the palace to take the throne, he went to Shenyang according to An Yuexi's strategy to design an ambush and ambush Liu Feiheng's henchman Dong Ba, the commander of the Shenyang army, and then cannibalized the entire Shenyang army.
It is precisely because he has the military power of the Shenyang Army that he is full of ambition in Shuntian and does everything, and even His Majesty Emperor Yan attaches great importance to him. Now, according to An Yuexi's intentions, 100,000 soldiers are drawn from the Shenyang army at once, and they are all brave and strong men, which is no different from stripping his muscles and pumping his blood.
Liu Feituo looked at Liu Feihong, whose face was a little unkind, and turned his head and asked, "Then I don't know where the new army of Lord An should be stationed, and what is the purpose?" ”
"Your Majesty, the new army intends to establish a base in Shuozhou first, the new army is just established, this army can first go north to conquer the two major tribes of the Mong and Qitian, if it can conquer part of the Mengqi steppe in the north, our army can establish a horse farm and granary there, and lay a solid foundation for the future devouring of the Wei State."
"This proposal is good, if I can build my Dayan's horse farm and granary in Mengqi, I will no longer have to worry about the dilemma that the southern front is too long and the grain and grass are not enough to transport." Liu Feituo's eyebrows and eyes stretched, and he said loudly.
His voice was loud and clear, more warm than the previous coldness, and he could hear that he was very satisfied with An Yuexi's proposal.
"Brother Huang, this move seems to be safe, but it is actually quite a hidden danger, and it must not be implemented." An abrupt voice suddenly sounded at this moment, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Feituo was not only not annoyed by this abrupt voice, but his lips curved deeper, "Hidden danger, I don't know what the hidden danger that the sixth brother is talking about?" ”
"Brother Huang, Shuntian is the capital of my Dayan, if you rashly transfer out 100,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it will not be safe, although our army has recovered Jinmen County, but Jinmen is easy to defend, there is no danger to defend at all, if Jinmen falls again, then Shuntian will have no 100,000 troops, it will be very dangerous. Moreover, Shenyang City, as the hinterland of Liaodong Province, is precisely because of the Shenyang Army, so that the Korean tribes who are about to move do not dare to act rashly. If the elite of the Shenyang army goes to the new army, I am afraid that the Korean tribe will provoke a war at that time. ”
Liu Feihong said word by word, the head is the Tao, in fact, what he said, to put it bluntly, he was unwilling to give up the elite of Shenyang under his command, which strengthened An Yuexi's strength in vain.
Now in the Yan Kingdom, An Yuexi is the first assistant, and one person is in charge of six departments. In the hundred officials, the Dangshan Army formed by him in the army has repeatedly spread good news, first in Jilin Province all the way to encircle and annex a number of large and small tribes entrenched in Jilin in one fell swoop, completely improve the prestige of Dayan in Jilin, and then smuggle into Qingzhou, go north to attack Jinmen, a series of strategies, completely defeated the Wei State.
Now when it comes to the army of Yan State, it is no longer the five permanent garrisons, but the Dangshan Iron Army that is stationed in Jinmen and is in the limelight.
The defense of the king of Shenyang was immediately seconded by some courtiers, some of them were Liu Feihong's confidants and friends, some were the veterans of the two dynasties who were not used to An Yuexi's monopoly on the government, and some were ministers and military attachés who had suffered losses at the hands of An Yuexi.
In today's Yan country, the courtiers who flatter An Yuexi, the princes and nobles are like carp crossing the river, countless, and there are naturally many people who are not used to her, which also corresponds to the famous saying that how many people love you, and how many people hate you.
After coughing a few times, His Royal Highness's ministers consciously closed their mouths, and after Liu Feituo glanced at Liu Feihong, he said in a cold voice: "Do you distrust the Dangshan Army stationed in Jinmen now, or do you distrust my decision-making." ”
The ministers felt a chill to the bones of the emperor's sudden cold tone, but they didn't expect that the king of Shenyang, who was favored in front of His Majesty in the past, would support the king side by side without hesitation when his opinion was contrary to that of the side king, which made all the ministers of His Royal Highness feel a chill in their hearts.
Liu Feihong himself was stunned there, he didn't expect His Majesty, who always smiled at him on weekdays, to make such a decisive choice between him and the king side by side today, his eyes couldn't help but have a shallow bitterness, sighed heavily, he said: "Brother Huang, the idea of transferring Shuntian, Shenyang's troops to form a new army is good, but Brother Huang, have you forgotten the legacy of your ancestors?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Feituo's eyes suddenly became extremely cold when he looked at him, and even the air in the hall was a little colder.
The ancestors' legacy, this has to start with Yanwu Emperor Liu Zhe, more than 160 years ago in the Northern Yan, at that time with the growing strength of the southern Wei State, gradually lost the prestige of the northern overlord, especially the battle of Yan Wei Handan, Wei Ling Emperor Cao Ye drove the personal expedition, fought the Northern Yan Chengde, Shuntian, Shenyang three major iron armies were defeated and retreated.
In the first battle of Handan, the Northern Wei Dynasty stretched its minions to Hebei Province, and the three major iron armies in the minds of the people of Yan were completely beaten into a sieve in front of the ruthless Wei iron cavalry, until the Taiyuan army went south to Henan and went to intercept the granary of the Wei army halfway, which forced part of the Wei army to return and stopped the expansion of the war.
After this war, Hebei Province, which had been ruled by Northern Yan for many years, was officially divided into two, and the entire southern region was completely destroyed.
Soon after the defeat of Handan, the old Emperor Yan Cheng died, he did not set up a prince before his death, in a bloody competition, the tenth prince Liu Zhe stood out, and his accession to the throne also officially opened the road to the prosperity of Northern Yan.
He carried out a large number of reforms, changed the blood of civil and military officials, promoted talented people on a large scale, reused the children of the poor family, and completely abolished the succession of the throne, which was later imitated by many countries.
The most shocking thing is that he moved the capital to Shuntian, and moved the imperial city from Shenyang to Shuntian, when Shuntian was only a hundred miles away from the Wei army, and there was a Jincheng in the middle.
Although Shuntian is rich and ranks among the six major cities in the Hongwu Continent (the other five cities are Jinling, Luoyang, Chengdu, Chang'an, and Lin'an), this embarrassing geographical location was at the beginning of the founding of the Yan People's Republic of China, and Yan Taizu gave up choosing Shuntian as the capital, and changed to Shenyang, which is relatively safe in geographical location, as the capital.
The proposal to move the capital was opposed by the ministers, but the arbitrary and arbitrary Yan Emperor did not adopt the opinions of the ministers, and still stubbornly carried out the relocation of the capital.
The ancestral precepts clearly stipulate that the Northern Yan takes Shuntian as the capital, and its intention is to protect the country by the Son of Heaven and the death of the king.
In layman's terms, no matter how big the blow to Beiyan will be in the future, as the son of Yan Kingdom, he should take the lead and never run away. Defend the country.
The six permanent garrisons must stubbornly defend the territory under their jurisdiction, and will not easily withdraw unless there is a major incident.
The ancestral training clearly stipulates that no one can arbitrarily transfer the six permanent troops because of his own selfish desires, let alone dismantle the six permanent troops and put their garrisons in danger.
Therefore, Liu Feihong's refutation of the emperor's opinion in the name of Zuxun was completely orderly and without the slightest inappropriateness.
An Yuexi glanced at the king of Shenyang, who was arguing with reason, and shook his head slightly, after all, the king of Shenyang still looked too highly on his status in His Majesty's heart.
He supported Liu Feituo as the emperor before, and he did make a lot of contributions along the way. But I still haven't figured out my real place in His Majesty's heart, do you think that during my absence, there will be a gap between me and His Majesty? He still thought it was all too simple.
