Chapter Seventy-Nine: Loyalty

The messenger brought only one sentence: "Please return to the camp quickly, and there is something important to discuss." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yang Ke and Tang Bin couldn't help but be stunned, and Yang Ke asked, "Is there any important change in the general's urgent recruitment of me back to the camp?" ”

The messenger looked around, and Tang Bin willingly let his subordinates and others all withdraw from the big tent. Only then did the messenger whisper to the two: "The general has received a secret report, and the vassal king is about to move. ”

Yang Ke said to Tang Bin with a solemn face: "Brother Confucianism, it's hard for you here, I'll go to see the general immediately." With that, he went out of the big tent with the messenger.

Tang Bin looked at the backs of the two of them and sighed slightly: "The house leak happened to rain overnight。。。。。。。 ”

Yang Ke and his entourage hurriedly hurried, galloping all the way, although his face was silent, but his heart was actually turbulent, and he kept thinking: "Is that vassal king about to move?" Zhang Chang's secret report said that Liu Yuan, Sima Ying and Sima Hao had colluded, but it was not possible to determine the extent of the collusion, and there was no real evidence to prove that they had responded to the action. ”

Sima Yingzi Zhangdu, the sixteenth son of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, although he is young, he is not small in ambition, and he was originally named the king of CD. During the period of the post-party dictatorship, he did not deal with Jia Mi and Empress Jia Nanfeng, and was transferred to Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) as a general of Pingbei. He is not only Liu Yuan's old boss, but also the closest to the stone battlefield of a vassal king, if there is no his tiger to return to the mountain, Liu Yuan is impossible to break away from the Jin Dynasty, to be able to divide one side, in charge of the military power, it stands to reason that the collusion between him and Liu Yuan is the most likely, it is an old friend, and can rely on each other, if he suddenly makes trouble, the battlefield situation will immediately have a fundamental change, but if you think about it carefully, there are doubts, because since the fall of the Hou Party, he has been deliberately appeasing the vassal king, and he has not taken the initiative to provoke a conflict with Sima Ying, there is no reason why he would jump out and stand on Liu Yuan's side with a clear banner and openly confront the imperial court.

As for Sima Hao, he is a generation older than Sima Ying, and is the cousin of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, who was crowned king in Hejian after inheriting his father's title. When he was young, he had a reputation for treating the Magi with little money. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty praised him as an example of a vassal king. But Yang Ke knew that he actually belonged to the kind of person who had a fox's tail clamped tightly and was more deeply hidden. In real history, he is a ruthless person who did such a big thing as abolishing the crown prince and holding the emperor hostage.

Only now, which one of them is it? Or is it both to have a share? Participating in Liu Yuan's rebellion must be a clear matter, otherwise, the enemy will be clear and secret, and the trouble will be big, Yang Ke doesn't want to deal with Liu Yuan with all his might, and someone suddenly stabbed him in the back.

The horses galloped all the way, and finally rushed back to the camp early the next morning, Yang Ke walked into the big tent, and the first thing he saw was Ma Long, who was looking forward to it, and the one standing beside him was Zhang Chang, Yang Ke was shocked, Zhang Chang came in person, something must have happened.

Sure enough, Zhang Chang brought explosive news: "Sima Ying and Sima Hao have frequently mobilized troops and horses, and they are actively deploying heavy troops to the location where the Lishi area is bordered by their own defenses. ”

Ma Long's anxious expression overflowed: "Xiu Lie, our army is now sandwiched between three forces, but it is under the enemy's back." ”

Yang Ke looked at Zhang Chang, who was in the dust, and suddenly asked, "Are these two vassal kings any signs of large-scale requisition of grain and grass?" ”

Zhang Chang shook his head: "That's not true, the baggage support belongs to different baggage battalions, and I only saw the movement of soldiers and horses, but I didn't find the movement of grain and grass assembly." ”

Ma Long asked suspiciously, "Xiu Lie, do you mean that they have no intention of going on an expedition?" ”

Yang Ke nodded: "If they really want to join this melee, they will inevitably have to go on an expedition to transport grain, and such a large-scale transfer of troops, without first completing the distribution and unified deployment of grain and grass, it is obviously impossible to ensure the needs of grain and straw for large-scale operations." ”

Zhang Chang was woken up by a sentence: "Yes, if he doesn't concentrate grain and grass, it means that they have no plans to go on an expedition, but why do they have to transfer troops frequently?" ”

Yang Ke smiled faintly: "Without him, each has his own little abacus, just wanting to keep the enemy out of the country." ”

"Keeping the enemy out of the country?" Zhang Chang and Ma Long asked puzzled at the same time.

Yang Ke explained: "In their eyes, the imperial army is not an enemy, and their own fiefdom is not a country within a country. ”

A word woke up the dreamer, and the two of them realized at the same time, it turned out that these two vassal kings were guarding against the imperial army taking advantage of the gap to enter their fiefdom and seize their power, so they transferred troops without adjusting food, and put on a defensive posture, and couldn't help but admire Yang Ke's unique vision.

"Although they haven't rebelled yet, but the military affairs can't rely on desperate luck, Brother Ziping, you work hard, rush back to Kyoto overnight, let Wen Hou and Pei Zan mobilize 20,000 horses, arrive and station near their fiefdom, and conduct daily drills, so that our army can have no worries." Yang Ke commanded.

Ma Long and Zhang Chang laughed: "Clever plan, this time it's the turn of these two vassal kings who can't sleep." ”

Zhang Chang said goodbye: "Without further ado, I will be in Kyoto." After speaking, he took out a bundle of letters from his arms and handed them to Yang Ke: "This is a letter from the Queen Mother, Lord Zhang, and Miss Youfang." ”

Yang Ke took the letter and smiled at Zhang Chang: "The military situation is urgent, I won't leave Brother Ziping, and on the day of the triumph of the army, we will drink again." ”

After Zhang Chang hurriedly said goodbye, Yang Keyan concisely described the battle situation in front of Ma Long, and at the same time told Ma Xiong's injury truthfully. Second, the son has made a great contribution, although he was injured, he is simply fine. In the third place, Yang Ke only said a word, and resolved the trouble of the vassal king's confidants in transferring troops cleanly. At this moment, his senses for Yang Ke were no longer the same as when they first met, but sincerely respected: "Xiu Lie, if you make this great contribution, I can show it to the imperial court。。。。。。 ”

Yang Ke shook his head slightly: "General, Ke is not humble, the young general took the lead in this battle, fought the Huns in blood, and the three thousand Han family sons suffered heavy casualties, so in exchange for this result, how can Ke be sorry for the merits that the soldiers have exchanged for their lives, the general will never mention these words again, the first time they met, Ke said to the general, I am just here to join the army." ”

At this moment, Ma Long is really convinced of Yang Ke's talent and morality. And to give such a great achievement to his son, this is more than giving it to himself, and it is more happy for him to be a father.

"Good brother, how to fight next, old brother, I want to hear your thoughts."

Yang Ke smiled faintly, knowing in his heart that from this moment on, he and Ma Long were completely of one heart and one mind, and he had another loyal friend under his command.
