Chapter 309: The Dilemma
The cause and effect before and after add up, Yang Ling actually narrowly caught up with Wang Hao, and by mistake, he caught up with the Shangyuan Festival, a song "Man Jianghong" made Taiyuan swell up with a wave of service to the country, so that countless scribes and scholars were enthusiastic and fisted, and countless beautiful girls fell for it, even if Wang Hao rushed to Taiyuan, it was not good to attack him under Lang Lang Qiankun!
Yang Ling is very thoughtful, even so, Wang Hao is not something he can shake at present, fortunately, at this time, he is waving his army to the north, trying to recover Huanzhou, Shuozhou, under such a great achievement, return to Taiyuan again, Wang Hao still dare to start?
Somewhere in the west of Taiyuan City, here is the Hedong Xuanfu Envoy Hall, Tong Guan was the Hedong, Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, the commander of the Northern Expedition, in Hedong naturally has the authority to open the Ya Lifu, this Xuanfu Envoy Hall is the previous Tong Guan's house.
Now the government is divided into two courtyards, the right courtyard is the residence of the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, at this time, Yang Ling went north, but he left Wu Jue behind, recruited talents, and used it, after all, for the long-term, it is always necessary to establish a set of their own staff.
It's just the first day, there are dozens of people who come to work, most of them are the foundation of Xiucai, and there are more than a dozen of them are lifting people, the Song Dynasty is redundant to this point, and even many Jinshi and the first personnel are not able to get the way, running for several years still have not made up for the real shortage, it is not a big deal to raise a few people, Wu Jue personally sat here, but also picked out more than 20 people with practical ability, it is worth mentioning that these people have no official positions, they are all as Yang Ling's personal staff, and the salary is not responsible for the government, Paid directly by Yang Ling.
At this time, these people can only be firmly with Yang Ling, but they still need to consider their conduct, whether they are trustworthy or not.
And where Yang Ling is, he is already dozens of miles away from Taiyuan at this time. The towns along the road, are issued after the voucher, to give grain and grass on the response, everywhere is the point of thousands of empty alleys, Hedong has not been in the east of the war for nearly a hundred years, and it is also a long time to see the scene of the army crossing. Even if there are border troops and box troops stationed on weekdays, it is unclear how many people can open bows and raise spears for a hundred years.
Han Shizhong's side is where the elite of the Shence Army is, not to mention that there is also Bai Ji Zhuquan, now the Jinyang Army is a little weaker, relying on the foundation of the previous Huanqing Army, Yang Ling transferred 3,000 people from the Shence Army, so that the morale of this new Jinyang Army can be saved.
Now he is not a scene full of famous generals. There is only Yue Fei alone, in addition, he is the defense envoy of Qiantai Prefecture, Wang De, the former military commander of the Huanqing Army, is the most respected by Yang Ling, and the others are the personal guard Tang Huai.
In fact, Yang Ling's ability, Yang Ling can also expect it, but he still needs to prove himself, what will happen in the future. There is always a chance to promote him, and now Yang Ling is still thinking about his own situation.
The old seed has come to this point. Even if he wants to help him, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength, the Western Army has long become an unbreakable quasi-feudal town group whose biggest goal is for its own survival and development, this is already an undeniable fact, otherwise the DPRK and China would not have used so much effort to guard against the Western Army.
The Western Army must be maintained, and the generals of the Western Army must remain rich and prosperous for a long time. The original foundation was that Western Xia was rampant, and no matter how much the imperial court did, it could not touch the interests of the Western Army, but now this is no longer there, and the Western Army will have to find another way.
The Western Army was transferred out on an expedition for two or three years, Yandi in the south of the Yangtze River. After two fierce battles, his vitality was greatly damaged, and what he wanted to do most now was to return to his hometown, raise his vitality, and glue together the Western Army that had been kneaded to pieces by Tong Guan and others in the imperial court.
According to the normal way of development, the Western Army originally did not have this opportunity, and in real history, only one part of the Western Army had to return to Shaanxi after the disgraceful war of cutting Yan, and a considerable number of military horses remained in Hedong or Hebei.
After being divided by the imperial court, the morale of the Western Army plummeted, and each part did not have enough strength, after the Jurchen went south, the Western Army left behind in Hedong and Hebei, except for Wang Yushang after a hard defense in Taiyuan, the others were all defeated, and only returned to Shaanxi that had not finished licking the wounds of the Western Army was led out by the division of Qinwang, and the whole army was wiped out when aiding Taiyuan.
But now, the situation is different, the princes of the court, staring at Yang Ling and the Shence army, strip them away, fortunately, Yang Ling is properly arranged, within a few years, the Shence army is still commanded by Yang Ling, after all, one is the closest, Bianliang is blunt and rare to get here, the court people think that Yang Ling is really not reassuring, the prestige of the Shence army has overshadowed the Western Army for a while, and the princes of the court, of course, must first beat this bird.
That's why there is Shence Military Town Hebei, Jinyang Military Town Hebei, and almost all the Western Army has returned to Shaanxi.
The reason for this is not because Yang Ling was born out of thin air, and he suddenly became an existence that attracted all the jealousy and hatred of the princes of the DPRK and China!
For the sake of the future of the Western Army, how to maintain Yang Ling, a very hateful existence, will have enough time for the Western Army to lick its wounds and recuperate until it can maintain the status of the Western Army generals for a long time and maintain their privileged way of existence in Zhulu, Shaanxi. Of course, the Western Army Jiangmen group does not have any intention of separating the feudal towns, but it can indeed do whatever it takes to protect the interests of the group, except for rebellion.
Although the Western Army can basically determine that most of the main force has returned to Shaanxi, they also know that once there is something in the north, the imperial court will still pull the Western Army out, and this time when they return to Shaanxi, they will not be able to raise this vitality in five or six years, and you must know that when they left the division, more than 150,000 Western Army athletes can return to their hometowns, but only half of them can return to their hometowns!
The morale of the army has fallen to the extreme, and if it is easily pulled out, it can't even maintain the level of combat power when it was cut down against Yan, and the newly rising Jurchen Tartar in the north is said to be far above the Liao people!
The princes of the DPRK and China are selfish, and the Jinyang Army and the Shence Army are placed in an inappropriate position, so that the Shence Army takes on the heavy responsibility of the defense of Yandi and even Hebei, followed by the Jinyang Army sitting in Hedong, although there is no shortage of good generals under Yang Ling, but the Hedong Military Town, which was reorganized and reorganized with the Huanqing Army as the backbone, was extremely weak for a considerable period of time.
If the Jinyang Army collapses, the Western Army will have to come to the rescue, and what the Western Army wants is to stay in Shaanxi as long as possible, and don't come to the north if this is a messy water.
And the key to this is to enhance Yang Ling's strength, so that the Jinyang Army led by Yang Ling and the remote-controlled Shence Army are enough to screen the northern part of the imperial court, so that the Western Army will no longer move out of Shaanxi, and Yang Ling's existence has also thinned out the pressure for the Western Army.
