Chapter 358: Hedong Chaos (4)
Where Yang Ling is, he just rushed to the east of the river non-stop, in terms of the Shence Army, there is Han Shizhong on the top, there is no accident, Yanjing left behind Yang Tan is also an old breed of Xianggong Ear to mention the face, the Western Army has long been a bit of a faction of its own, Yang Tan has his own ideas for the management of Yandi.
Yang Ling is most worried about Hedong, after all, Wang Hao is the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong Road, and he can only be regarded as a deputy envoy at the highest, although he has authority, but how can he twist Wang Hao without an iron and bloody hand in the overall situation?
What is the power of the envoy? The status of the Song Dynasty's Xuanfu envoy was equivalent to that of the ruling minister, or held by the ruling minister, and the initial duty was to inspect the local area and examine the officials and the people, such as Xiang Minzhong, the governor of Xianping in the third year, as the ambassador of Xuanfu along the border of Hebei and Hedong.
In the eighth year of Qingli, Wen Yanbo, the governor of Hebei, served as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and was a military commander specially designed to suppress the king of Beizhou.
In the fourth year of the emperor's reign, Di Qing, the privy deputy envoy, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy, and it was the beginning of the military minister's appointment as the Xuanfu envoy.
When he arrived at Tong Guan, he was almost already the number one in the local area, in charge of military and political power.
After Wang Hao learned that Yang Ling was rushing to aid Ulzhou, he ordered Wang Yu to lead the Shengjie army out of Yanmen Pass to take charge of the military on the grounds that Yang Ling was the commander of the first army, and rashly advanced lightly, that is, to seize the power of the Jinyang Army in the hands of Yang Ling Yue Fei.
But Wang Hao is not very at ease with Wang Yu, after all, he went out of Taiyuan and seized the opportunity for Yang Ling, Wang Hao was already a little wary of Wang Yu, so he also sent Li Bangyan, who was the magistrate of a county, to restrain Wang Yu, but just to prevent the collusion of military ministers.
Before the army arrived at Yanmen Pass, it was already known to the local counties, and everyone chose to wait and see, and the local officials in Taiyuan could only watch this situation. Wait for the two sides to decide the winner and lose, and then take sides.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Hao has no one around him, so he sent Li Bangyan, who was born from Bianliang with him, to go, and Wu Jue in Taiyuan City is not a decoration, and he has long been aware of this situation. Pegasus reported to Yang Ling, which is also the reason why Yang Ling led hundreds of soldiers from the Black Cloud Capital back to Hedong.
The disaster in history is not only because the strong enemy is on the side, Yang Ling knows, but more importantly, the internal friction is too much, Yang Ling entered the Flying Fox Pass and went west, just to intercept Li Bangyan.
At night, Wang Yu led the army to camp, and it was only two or three days' walk from Yanmen Pass. Yang Ling intercepted the Shengjie army in the dust, after all, Wang Yu's prestige in the army is not comparable to Li Bangyan, and Li Bangyan is really not good at the Shengjie army with an iron bucket, until Yang Ling entered the Shengjie army and met with Wang Hao, Li Bangyan still didn't know the news that Yang Ling had come here.
"Lord Yang, this place is simple and there is no hospitality. The last general will replace tea with water, Lord Yang. Please. ”
Yang Ling didn't touch the bowl of water on the ground, he pressed his hands to his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Dutong, you are from the army, and you should know better than me about the current crisis." Under the series of bloody battles, most of our men and horses were lost and exhausted, and the Jinyang army was originally composed of the defeated army of Huanqing, and it was so broken that it was not good. Fortunately, the Jinyang army has recovered Sanzhou, and the morale is slightly boosted, if it is scattered again, it can no longer be recovered, it is unbearable to fight, the country is defenseless, and what is done is that the Great Song Dynasty is not humiliated by foreign enemies, and the Jinyang army will never be able to move again. ”
Wang Yu's eyes drooped slightly, looked at the bowl of water that was a little rippling, and said slowly: "Lord Yang, you should discuss this matter with Wang Xuanfu or Lord Li Bangyan." ”
Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "They are smart people, but the smarter they are, once they get into the dead end of the party's fighting against differences, the more they will stick to their own opinions, become rigid and self-serving, even stupider than pigs, Wang Dutong, here, you are the supreme commander in the army, I hope you can stop him with me." ”
Wang Yu smiled, shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Yang, he is a Wenchen, how can you stop the general?" ”
"For the sake of the overall situation, I hope the general can cooperate with me to share the town of Hedong."
Wang Yu sighed and said embarrassedly: "Lord Yang, although it is said that the general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, but now the official family personally appoints Wang Hao as the Xuanfu envoy, and the Xuanfu envoy must obey the orders below, Li Bangyan is in the army, he represents the meaning of the Xuanfu envoy, isn't that self-deception, when the last general came to command the army, the order received was that everything obeyed the orders of Lord Wang Huang, the military order is like a mountain, Lord Yang, the military order, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of me, I can only rush up, the same reason, the military order, even if it is a wrong orderI have to obey as well. ”
Yang Ling was disappointed, this is the cuteness of the straight people of this era, he smiled bitterly and said: "That's it, what you are obsessed with may seem a little ridiculous to me, but I know that it is precisely because of this kind of attachment in the world that there are many respectable, I don't embarrass you, Wang Dutong, you have always been Yang Mouming and secretly helping, our Jinyang army can barely hold up to such a scale, Yang is now retreating to the second, this is a request I hope Wang Dutong can agree." ”
"Lord Yang, please speak."
"Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the headquarters to break into the account, then there will be no Li Bangyan to restrict, Wang Dutong will wait and see the situation here, and a certain person will go to Taiyuan to meet Wang Xuanfu for a while, Yang Mou's words are all here, and he will leave."
Yang Ling got up, arched his hand at him, turned around and left.
Wang Yu sat there cross-legged, looking at him quietly, Yang Ling had just walked to the door of the tent, Wang Yu suddenly said: "Wang has experienced a hundred battles, countless secret wounds, and the old disease will recur at the end of tonight." ”
Yang Ling stopped, turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised by the topic he raised.
Wang Yu continued: "The old illness of the last general came very violently...... It's heavy, maybe I'll be unconscious tomorrow morning. ”
"Huh?" Yang Ling's eyes flashed slightly.
Wang Yu's eyes drooped, and he said lightly: "After a while, a military order will be issued at the end of tomorrow to tell all the soldiers: If this general is ill and unable to control the whole army, Lord Li will temporarily take the position of this general, and all soldiers will be dispatched and ordered by Lord Li." ”
Tomorrow he will be in trouble, Li Bangyan must be placed under house arrest, that is to say, this person can no longer control the Shengjie army, Wang Yu does not come out, and the Shengjie army will never go north again......
Thinking of this, Yang Ling was surprised and delighted, and when he looked at the general in front of him again, he actually felt a sense of awe, and he happily said, "Thank you, general." ”
Wang Yu smiled lightly, and the clouds were light: "Lord Yang, take care!" ”
When it was dawn, Li Bangyan hurriedly got up, asked people to get some food to satisfy his stomach, and ordered the guards to summon all the generals above the head to the tent to obey the order.
Outside his tent, the soldiers moved more than a dozen stones to serve as seats, lined up on the left and right in front of the tent, and after a while, those marquis and commanders arrived one after another, and sat down on the left and right according to their ranks.
Although the current situation is a little bad, how can they easily seize power in the Jinyang army, but seeing that the Shengjie army is neatly armored and sitting upright like a pine, the atmosphere in front of the tent is immediately much more solemn. (To be continued.) )
