Since Guan Jiaren's incident, Yang Ming began to train a special team responsible for special tasks, and this team is naturally the messenger of brocade.

The training they receive is more complex, harder, and more comprehensive than that of ordinary soldiers, with functions such as assassination, rape, and law enforcement. The weapons commonly used in their hands are only a set of knives that imitate modern technology, a set of knives specially made of high-quality steel by the Han Ordnance Institute.

The favorite thing that the brocade messengers like to use when killing people is the double-edged dagger in the hands of Li Sanwazi, which sharpens iron like clay and can be broken by blowing, which can stab the enemy in an instant.

Now, Cao Laosan's words revealed that he didn't even listen to Yang Ming's orders, so this brocade messenger called Li Sanwazi had already revealed his murderous intentions, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Laosan had grown up in the same town with him and was a Han family barracks-level officer, I am afraid that he would have ended Cao Laosan's life a long time ago. Yang Ming once said that once the envoy of the brocade clothes found out that someone was disloyal and unjust, he could directly execute him, no matter how powerful and high the level of that person was.

"This is what Gongzi meant, does General Cao really not listen?"

Li Sanwazi, the messenger of brocade clothes, asked indifferently, in the eyes of outsiders, this sentence is a little irrelevant. But in fact, this is Li Sanwazi taking care of Cao Laosan, he is confirming in disguise whether Cao Laosan really dares to disobey even the orders of Gongzi Yang Ming or is just a momentary anger, and reminds Cao Laosan that what he just said is too much.

Cao Laosan was stunned, he seemed to see something in Li Sanwazi's eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder. He knew that this was powerful, just a few months ago, a guerrilla in the first battalion of the Han Army was drunk and said something nonsense about Yang Ming, and as a result, he was killed on the spot by the brocade messenger lurking in the battalion, on the grounds that he was disrespectful to his son.

Cao Laosan didn't dare to make a mistake, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be killed by this group of specially trained warriors in an instant, so he had no choice but to swing his fist helplessly and shouted: "Cui Guerrilla, blow the trumpet and give the order, and immediately start the plan to abandon the city!" ”

"The surname is Lan, and I will settle accounts with you when I get to the son!" Cao Laosan didn't dare to complain about Yang Ming, so he sent all his complaints to Lan Guanwei, maybe the two of them had some dislikes, after all, both of them were veteran generals who followed Yang Ming from Hanzhong, and the qualifications and status of the two in the Han family army were comparable, but now this Lan Guanwei overpowered Cao Laosan everywhere, and even directly commanded him, Cao Laosan was naturally a little resentful in his heart.

With the expansion of the Han army, coupled with the wanton suppression of the imperial court's official army, gradually, contradictions and cracks began to appear within the Han army, which Yang Ming did not expect, even if he thought of it, he couldn't stop it. After all, no matter how clever the brainwashing propaganda is, it will not completely eliminate the selfish nature of human beings, as long as there is selfishness, there will be a conflict of interests, and if there is a conflict of interests, some people will form gangs and engage in mountains, even in today's era, let alone in this era where making contributions is extremely important?

Because of this, while the generals of the two battalions were dissatisfied with blocking Xiaoyuan, Cao Laosan and other veteran generals of the Han Army also began to be dissatisfied with Lan Guanwei. In addition, there have always been contradictions between the old and new military and political officials, such as the contest between Lu Lang in the cabinet bachelor Shang Daoxing and Likedu, and the contradiction between Tan Wen and other former Ming military attaches and Liu Hei and other descendant generals. These are all in the course of the war, and they are intensifying little by little.

Although Yang Ming cannot completely eliminate these contradictions and dislikes, he can suppress it and stabilize it, and to suppress it, it is necessary to let everyone know what their greatest interests and goals are through a series of victories, so that they all know that only by being more loyal to themselves and uniting around themselves can they obtain greater benefits.

Now, Gu Xiaoyuan and Lan Guanwei are Yang Ming's spokespeople, these generals have to obey the command of these two as long as they are loyal to Yang Ming, and Du Xiaoyuan does not need to explain to Tan Wen and others, because she represents the will of Yang Ming, the supreme commander of the Han Army, and in the same way, Lan Guanwei can't be polite to Cao Laosan, he also represents Yang Ming's wishes. This attack of the imperial court officials and troops is undoubtedly a lesson for everyone in the Han army, this lesson is not only a military class, but also a political class, perhaps, from now on, every member of the Han army will re-examine themselves and decide whether to rally around Yang Ming more loyally or find another way.

If Yang Ming leads the Han army to achieve a great victory in this anti-encirclement and suppression war, then his prestige will rise to a higher level, and no one will dare to question any of his decisions, and he will become the absolute authority of the Han army. However, once this anti-encirclement and suppression fails, his prestige will plummet, and he will not even be able to control the situation of internal contradictions becoming bigger, and he can only watch his Han army fall apart step by step. Isn't this the case with Li Dingguo in the history of the late Ming Dynasty? was once a dominant, but it was once dragged down the abyss by internal contradictions, causing eternal resentment.

Cao Laosan finally withdrew from Yunyang County with the three targets of the third battalion, and Zuo Liangyu, who had spent a lot of effort, finally occupied Yunyang County after losing nearly 20,000 people. Zuo Liangyu had promised that after entering and occupying Yunyang County, the officers and soldiers could plunder Yunyang County for three days, but to Zuo Jun's disappointment, they really couldn't find a place to vent when they entered Yunyang County except for demolishing the city wall and various houses.

"In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Qiu Songbo and all the gentry and people of Yunyang County are here to welcome Wang Shi!"

Gentry like Qiu Songbo still had a trace of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, especially after Yang Ming's brutal land reform, and they were even more nostalgic for the imperial court that had not levied taxes on them.

Therefore, when Yang Ming organized the transfer of the people, they did not choose to transfer but stayed in the city, although they did not dare to launch an attack on the Han army in the city to deal with the left army, but the left army broke the city, they could still come to welcome it.

However, Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to appreciate it, and directly ordered his subordinates to confiscate the family property of these gentry in the name of colluding with thieves and betraying the imperial court, and even their families had to be executed on the spot.

For a time, the gentry in the entire Yunyang County who had not been transferred away because of their gratitude for the Ming Dynasty were almost slaughtered by the left army. Yang Ming did not attack these gentry who were obedient to him on the surface but still turned their backs on him, but Zuo Liangyu helped him, so that the forces that had resentment against Yang Ming in Kuizhou were greatly reduced, and the gentry began to completely fall to the side of the Han army, after all, the Han army did not kill people indiscriminately.

"Handsome! The last general is incompetent, resulting in the annihilation of 20,000 horses and horses, please punish the marshal! ”

Here, Zhang Yingyuan fled to Yunyang County in embarrassment, and he also carried a machete for executioners, and personally knelt down in front of Zuo Liangyu to plead guilty.

Zhang Yingyuan is Zuo Liangyu's brother, the two have a very good relationship, but he was really defeated too badly this time, the 20,000 army brought back less than 3,000 people, although Zuo Liangyu has always been kind to his own people, but he still has to give an explanation to the whole army.

But Zuo Liangyu still did not kill Zhang Yingyuan, but asked him to temporarily serve as a small soldier in front of the army. And what he is more worried about now is that how did the thief army annihilate his 20,000 army, could it be that the main force of the thief army is in Qianxi, so according to this, it is not the main force of the thief army that has been holding Yunyang County for the past few days but a small force of the thief army?

However, Zuo Liangyu didn't believe his speculation, after all, the thief army he encountered in Yunyang County in the past few days was the most powerful army he had ever encountered in his life, and its combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Tartars.

He has reason to believe that only the main force of the thief army will have such a strong combat effectiveness, but being able to eat 20,000 people in one bite is not a simple army, could it be that these are the main forces of the thief army? The number of thieves is not as small as he knows, and all of them are elite soldiers?

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu was a little hesitant, if it weren't for the fact that his beloved son was still in the hands of the thief army and the current battle situation was going well, he would have to retreat to preserve his strength. But just when Zuo Liangyu was about to give the order to suspend the attack, waiting for Chen Yan to wait for the arrival of the army to take down the thief head in one go, a general of the left army outside suddenly ran in.

"Great marshal, the area outside the city of Hejialing found that the cavalry of the thief army was dispatched, and there was a young man in a white robe among them!"

"The boy in the white robe? I heard that Yang Ming, the thief leader of Kuizhou, was originally a member of Hanzhong Mansion, and he was just and weak, but now that I think about it, this son in a white robe is the thief Yang Ming, handsome, the opportunity is rare, but I can't let the thief Yang Ming run away! ”

As soon as the literati staff of the army had not finished speaking, Zuo Liangyu had already ordered: "Order Xu Ensheng's troops to immediately pursue this cavalry, Wu Xueli's troops to intercept its rear road, and the rest of the army will then be dispatched to surround Hejialing!" ”
