Chapter 719: It is advisable to chase after the poor

readx; Mengshe's edict? Dispatch troops?

When Bao'er heard these two words, her eyes rolled and she suddenly raised her head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Her mouth was open and she wanted to speak. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and then lowered his head.

How can the action of wrapping up be concealed from Wu Zetian.

She stretched out her hand to signal Shangguan Wan'er not to speak first, and said in a deep voice: "Bao'er, let's be flat." ā€

"Thank you, grandmother!"

Wu Zetian let Bao'er be flattened, which means that she will no longer pursue Bao'er's crime of resisting the order.

She spoke, "Bao'er, you seem to have something to say just now?" ā€

"I don't know if to say it."

"Long-winded, there are no outsiders here, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"When Bao'er was in Jiannan Dao before, I heard my brother-in-law say that this Mengshe Zhao Wang Meng Luosheng."

"Oh? What did he say? ā€

"Brother Zizi said that King Mengshe Zhao can endure what others can't bear, and he has the posture of King Yue, which should not be underestimated. Back then, the imperial court asked him to go to Luoyang, but without saying a word, he gave up the throne and came alone, which was definitely not something that an idler could do. ā€

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

At the beginning, she was the one who summoned Meng Luosheng, and she was the one who let Meng Luosheng go.

But she had never thought about it deeply, but now that she heard Bao'er say this, and thought about it carefully, this Meng Luosheng was indeed not an idle person.

The brother-in-law also said that Meng Luosheng is now using the name of the imperial court to carry out the conquest of the six edicts.

At first glance, it seems like a good thing. After all, with Meng She's edict charging into battle, it can indeed save the court a lot of trouble.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be good.

It was true that Mengshezhao charged into battle, but he also took this opportunity to annex and occupy a large area of land and population of the six edicts, and his power gradually became stronger. And Meng Luosheng is an ambitious person, he is ostensibly attached to the imperial court, but in fact, he uses the name of the imperial court to strengthen his own strength. As far as Bao'er knows, the edict of Mengshe is now the first among the six edicts......

Once he has the strength to confront the imperial court, wouldn't he be a tiger?

The elder brother said that the unified six edicts were not beneficial to the imperial court.

It is better to divide it and make it unrestful internally. After that, the imperial court used both soft and hard measures, and incorporated the six edicts into the rule of the imperial court through means such as pacification, suppression, co-optation, and conquest. The elder brother also said that the six edicts can only have one master, and that is Your Majesty. ā€

Bao'er is actually not very clear about these military affairs.

But Yang Shouwen told her this, and after she came back, she also got some guidance from Chen Ziang, who had changed her name and surname, so she could say a ugly thing in front of Wu Zetian. What she said was not very detailed, but for Wu Zetian, it was enough. For a long time, the empire has been known as the coming of all nations, and for those foreign countries, as long as they are willing to take the imperial court as the main thing, the imperial court will gladly agree, and then no longer interfere with it.

Speaking of which, this is indeed a kind of grandeur.

But in the same way, the imperial court's weak control over these vassal states also made these vassal states often repeated.

The six edicts don't need a king, they only need a master, and that is Your Majesty!

This sentence made Wu Zetian very satisfied, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a faint smile was revealed.

"Bao'er traveled to Jiannan this time, and it seems that he has gained a lot."

After speaking, she looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, what do you think?" ā€

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Bao'er with appreciation, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that what the Taoist chief said is extremely true. ā€

She paused, and then continued: "We don't know very well whether the Yue Zhao Wang Bochong colluded with the Annan people, and there was no news before. It would be too rash for Meng Luosheng to allow him to conquer the Yue Xi edict based on just one sentence.

Moreover, what Qing Zhi said is also reasonable, Meng Shezhao has repeatedly carried out conquests in the name of the imperial court over the years, but in fact, he has strengthened himself, and it is not beneficial to the imperial court. This time, not to mention whether Bo Chong colluded with the rebel party, at least Bo Chong has always submitted to the imperial court, and he has never disobeyed His Majesty's will. ā€

"And what do you mean?"

"What does the concubine mean...... Jinghui is now also a guest in the southwest, and the matter of the six edicts is also within his responsibility.

Why did His Majesty issue an order to Jinghui to investigate this matter? If Bo Chong really colluded with the rebel party, he didn't need to let Meng Shezhao send troops.

Zhang Zhitai was able to pass the post of Jiannan Province, so he asked him to send troops to conquer, and he could also take the opportunity to establish authority for Zhang Zhitai in Jiannan Province...... As for Na Meng Luosheng, the concubine thought that it was best not to indulge blindly, and it was best to suppress him, so as not to raise a tiger. ā€

Wu Zetian couldn't help but nod his head in agreement after hearing this.

What Wan'er said is very agreeable.

In this way, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, and send someone to know with Jinghui and Zhang Zhitai, and ask them to check Bo Chong on the one hand, and prepare on the other hand, and beware of Meng Luosheng's abnormal movements. As soon as there is evidence, the two of them can discuss the discretionary disposal. ā€

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and prepared to retreat.

Bao'er stood on the main hall, looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and then at Wu Zetian, revealing a hint of hesitation.

Her little bit of caution, how could she hide it from Wu Zetian.

Looking at her face, which was slightly pale because of the entanglement, Wu Zetian sighed secretly in his heart.

"Wan'er!"

"The concubine is here."

"Later, you will take my message, go to Luoyang Prison, and tell Zhang Danian to let him come back.

Following the great rebellion of Wu Yanji, the king of Wei, and his words of rebellion, he should have been put to death. Remembering his youth and ignorance, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living sin is unforgivable. deposed to the throne of the king of Wei, demoted to a commoner, and never hired; The throne of the King of Wei was succeeded by Wu Yanji's brother Wu Yanyi......"

Wu Zetian didn't like Wu Yanji in the first place, so he took this opportunity to deprive him of the position of King of Wei, which can be regarded as a warning.

She closed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Li Chongrun, the emperor's grandson, has a loss of virtue, and it is difficult to be of great use.

In the name of the grandson of Emperor Li Chongrun, he will live in seclusion in the Dragon Garden from now on, and he will not leave without my consent, otherwise he will be killed. ā€

"Concubine, obey the order."

Shangguan Wan'er was ordered to retreat, but she was left alone in the main hall, at a loss.

"Bao'er, I ordered you to cultivate in Cuiyun Peak, but you left without permission, which is really a heavy responsibility.

But thinking about you is also an unintentional move, so I will forgive you this time...... Why, do you want to stay here? ā€

When Bao'er heard this, she still didn't understand what Wu Zetian meant, so she hurriedly said: "Bao'er should die, Bao'er will go back." ā€

"Go, after you go back, copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, and then send it to the palace."

"Wrap up, obey."

Li Bao'er suddenly had a bitter face and bowed down.

Wu Zetian's mood seems to have improved a lot.

She walked to the window, and when she looked at the scenery outside the window, she suddenly felt that the wind was no longer so cold, and the breath of spring seemed to have arrived......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the second year of Chang'an, outside the city of Jiaozhou, the flag was displayed.

The ancient Cochin city wall has traces of the aftermath of the Great War. The blood on the walls had not dried, and it had taken on a dark red hue in the sunlight.

Yang Shouwen stood outside the city gate, holding his head high.

Between his eyebrows, there was still a trace of exhaustion, but it could be seen that he was in good spirits.

Huan Yanfan strode into a meteor, came to Yang Shouwen, and waved his hand.

"Yang Mingwei, I have admired the name for a long time, and I will finally see you today."

Mingwei refers to the loose rank of General Yang Shouwenwei.

Yang Shouwen is much younger than Huan Yanfan, in terms of seniority, Huan Yanfan and Yang Chenglie are the same generation, and it is impossible to call him Yang Jun.

But by name?

It doesn't seem quite appropriate either.

Yang Shouwen was ordered by the imperial court to supervise the war situation in the western part of Lingnan Road.

Although Huan Yanfan was also commanding the battle, he was not appointed by the imperial court.

So in terms of position, Huan Yanfan seems to be a little incorrect and unreasonable...... In this case, it is appropriate to call the phrase 'Yang Mingwei'.

Yang Shouwen hurriedly said: "If Duke Huan doesn't come again, I will almost be unable to resist!" ā€

After he entered Lingnan Road, he first destroyed Heman, and then relieved the siege of Gantang Prefecture.

However, in terms of the overall situation, the rebels had the upper hand. This rebellion was indeed huge. He gathered almost half of the natives under the rule of the Annam Protectorate, and planned for many years. This time, he killed Qu Lan and then attacked the city. If it weren't for Huan Yanfan's reluctance to resist, perhaps most of Lingnan Province would have been occupied by the rebels.

Rao is like this, and the officers and soldiers are still seriously injured.

If the conquest of one city and one place is carried out, God knows how long it will last?

It was at this time that Meng Huan, who had changed his name to Zhuhuan, offered advice: although the rebels were strong, because of the hasty assembly, the tribes were not properly integrated. Ah Lang Ke led an elite group of men and horses, drove lightly, and rushed to Jiaozhi.

As long as Nagan Meng is killed, the rebel army will naturally weaken.

This plan is very dangerous.

But Yang Shouwen must admit that if he succeeds, he can turn things around.

He didn't want to stalemate in Lingnan Road for too long, so after thinking twice, he decided to use Zhu Huan's strategy and carry out the plan of beheading.

After killing Gan Meng and occupying the county seat of Jiaozhi, it does not mean a complete victory.

Although Gan Meng died, Gan Meng's younger brother, Gan Yong, known as the first warrior in Annan, immediately took over Gan Meng's position and led his troops to fight back frantically, trying to recapture Jiaozhi. Yang Shouwen led his troops to hold on to Jiaozhi for 20 days, and his troops and horses suffered heavy casualties.

Eventually, he waited for reinforcements......

Gan Yong is worthy of the name of the first warrior of Annam, but it is only that.

In terms of prestige, wisdom, and marching and fighting, he is not willing to fight. After Wang Yuanqi and Huan Yanfan defeated the rebels one after another and regained the lost territory, Gan Yong had no intention of continuing to besiege Jiaozhi, and led his troops south to retreat to Changyang Pass......

"If that Ganyong holds out for two more days, I will surely die."

Walking up to the castle tower of Jiaozhi County, you can see the traces left after the war everywhere.

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but let out a sigh, turned his head to look at Huan Yanfan and said, "Now the rebels have retreated, but the war is not over yet.

Gan Yong is entrenched in the south of Jiaozhou and has always been a confidant.

Huan Gong, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. The brave cannot be left behind, and the rebels cannot be left behind...... If he does not take this opportunity to completely exterminate it, he will fight again in the future. So I think this time, we should kill them all. ā€

Huan Yanfan couldn't help but applaud, "It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord."

Yang Mingwei is very talented, and this half of the poem is excellent...... However, what is Yang Mingwei going to do next? (To be continued.) )
