Chapter 421: Retreat or Attack?
readx;
Zhang Song was taken aback and shouted urgently: "General Yang, you misunderstood, I was coerced by Liu Feng, you can't ......."
Zhang Song shouted and wanted to defend himself, but Yang Yi looked disgusted, and didn't listen to him, and waved his hand and shouted: "Didn't you hear my order, don't you hurry up." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The soldiers were ordered, rushed up, pressed Zhang Song, who was about to struggle, to the ground, and four or five people dragged him away.
"I'm wronged, wronged......"
With a crisp sound, the howl stopped, and all the generals present shook their bodies, as if the knife had been cut at themselves.
Yang Yi's murderous expression became elegant again with Zhang Song being beheaded, he cast a gentle face to everyone, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty has an order, this rebellion will only punish the evil, and the rest of the people are excusable, since they sincerely repent, they will not be pursued from now on." ”
Yang Yi's words were like a pill for the generals present, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they expressed their gratitude to the emperor for his kindness, not forgetting to complain in front of Yang Yi about the helplessness of being coerced by Liu Feng, the king of Shu.
'Hmph, how shameless these guys are, if it weren't for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's order before leaving, let me only kill Zhang Song, hum, I really want to kill them all! ’
Yang Yi faced extreme contempt for these people in her heart, but on the surface, she was kind and comforting.
After pacifying everyone, Yang Yi ordered Liu Feng, the king of Shu, to be loosened and placed under house arrest in a cell specially prepared for him, which was not considered a prison cell.
Encountering Yang Yi's courtesy, Liu Fengfang remembered that after all, he was still His Royal Highness the King of Shu, who was still a nominal brother with today's saint, since Yang Yi treated himself so politely, he thought that he was ordered by the emperor, and his life was mostly saved.
The great cause is not successful, the supreme power is not, and the wealth is still there, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Liu Feng drank all the wine in the cup, and sighed with emotion in his heart.
The door suddenly opened, and Yang Yi entered with his sword.
Liu Feng is still a prince's shelf, only caring about drinking and eating, and turning a blind eye to Yang Yi's entry.
Yang Yi didn't think it was strange, and only smiled and greeted: "Your Highness, don't you know if this wine and food is still to Your Highness's appetite?" ”
"There is good old wine in this king's house, so go and send someone to bring it to this king." Liu Feng even provoked a problem.
Yang Yi smiled faintly: "Now the situation is special, please bear with Your Highness." ”
Liu Feng's face showed dissatisfaction, and he waved his hand and said: "That's it, then you can quickly escort this king to Chang'an to face the saint, and this king will explain all this misunderstanding to my emperor's younger brother." ”
Yang Yi's surface gradually became cold: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Chang'an." ”
Liu Feng hadn't noticed the change in Yang Yi yet, he still looked self-righteous, and said while drinking: "Your Majesty sent you, isn't it just to take me back to Chang'an, this king's body is not tired, and he doesn't need to rest for too long." ”
He was met with a silence.
Liu Feng raised his head, and suddenly bumped into Yang Yi's solemn expression, and a slight sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.
At this time, as soon as Yang Yi raised his hand, the sergeant behind him handed over a roll of white silk.
Yang Yi put the white silk in front of Liu Feng's eyes, and said coldly: "Your Highness's crime is unforgivable, Your Majesty remembers the brotherhood, and instructs the last general to leave a whole corpse for His Highness, as long as His Highness breaks it himself, His Majesty's previous sins against Your Highness will be erased, and Your Highness's family will be innocent, and they will be buried in Your Highness according to the rites of the clan." ”
Bang!
The wine glass that was held to his mouth quietly took off his hand, and the full glass of wine splashed Liu Feng's body, but he didn't realize it, because he was stunned at the moment, as if he was frozen and couldn't move.
His breathing became more and more rapid, cold sweat fell from his forehead, and his heart swelled up with an unprecedented fear, which was the fear of death.
Suddenly, he jumped up and yelled at Yang Yi: "You are talking nonsense, Your Majesty will never be like this, I am his brother, how could he treat me like this, it must be Zhuge Liang and their ghosts, I want to see Your Majesty, I must see Your Majesty." ”
Yang Yi held the hilt of the sword in his hand, in case Liu Feng suddenly went crazy and did something out of the ordinary. Listening to Liu Feng's roar, Yang Yi had a disdainful sneer on his face: "Your Highness, throughout the ages, which monarch would tolerate the crimes you committed." Today's incident is completely caused by His Highness, and at this time, don't Your Highness think it's funny to blame others? ”
Yang Yi's words made Liu Feng's defense seem so pale and weak.
No matter what reasons he had, the crime of rebellion was always a fact, and among the emperors of ancient and modern times, there was really no one who was still lenient to the crime of rebellion.
At this moment, Liu Feng's last hope was shattered, his heart had fallen to the bottom of despair, and the whole person sat down weakly, his eyes full of dementia.
"You have no jokes, and you can rest assured that Your Highness will do the future. His Highness has also eaten enough, it's time to hit the road, don't let the last general wait too long. ”
Yang Yi dropped the last words, turned around and walked out, gently closed the door, and then waited outside with a group of subordinates.
I don't know how long it took, there was still no movement in the room, and the sergeants on the left and right looked a little impatient, but Yang Yi was still patient, because he knew that the most difficult thing in the world was to end his own life, and for such a dying person, what did it matter if he waited.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a clattering sound in the room, like the sound of something falling to the ground.
Hearing this voice, Yang Yichang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten days later, the news of the suppression of the Hanzhong rebellion reached the hands of Fang Shao in Yecheng.
Liu Feng's rebellion was indeed unexpected by Fang Shao, but the speed of pacification was expected by Fang Shao, in Fang Shao's opinion, there were Wolong and Feng Xiao sitting in Chang'an, making trouble under the noses of these two, and failure was only a matter of time.
Although the Hanzhong Rebellion was pacified, it also caused the Hanzhong troops to be temporarily unable to aid Xiangyang in the east, which meant that on the southern front, Guan Yu could only deal with Eastern Wu with his own strength. However, without the support of the naval army, the results can be imagined.
Since Xiangyang and Jiangling were besieged for several months, during this time, the Wu people have captured the entire territory of Changsha and Lingling, Jiangxia, most of Wuling, and even between Xiangyang and Jiangling, many cities belonging to Nanjun have also been taken by the Wu people, that is to say, in addition to half of Nanjun and Nanyang County in the north, the Wu people easily captured most of Jingzhou in just a few months.
Zhao Yun of Xiangyang and Xu Shu and Zhang Liao of Jiangling, although there was plenty of grain and grass, but they could not get foreign aid for a long time, as for Guan Yu north of the Han River, although he had 80,000 or 90,000 male soldiers, he could only rely on Nanyang County to supply them, because he could not cross the river for a long time, the supply of grain and grass for Guan Yu's army became more and more insufficient, and the situation in Jingzhou as a whole was also developing in a direction that was not conducive to the Han State.
Although Zhang Fei on the Hongnong side had nearly 100,000 soldiers, he was unable to send more soldiers and horses to support Jingzhou because he was dragged by the Wei army under Cao Ren's department, which also means that in the entire Han Kingdom, only Fang Shao has surplus soldiers and horses in his hands to aid Jingzhou.
When the imperial court sent the news of the pacification of the Hanzhong Rebellion to Fang Shao, it also brought another edict ordering him to end the campaign in Hebei as soon as possible and lead a large army south to aid Jingzhou.
"Destroy Wei or not, it's all in this battle, let me withdraw now, won't it give Wei another chance to breathe, when will Wu and Wei unite, when will there be such a good opportunity again!" Fang Shao complained about the imperial court's edict in front of the generals.
At this time, Deng Ai sighed: "Da Sima, I think the imperial court is also out of helplessness, you know, it is not another place, it is Jingzhou." ”
Deng Ai is right, there can be Jingzhou, and it is the Jingzhou Group that holds the decision-making power of the imperial court.
In history, after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, Liu Bei had to give up the strategic goal of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and instead went to fight for Jingzhou with the troops of the country. At that time, even Zhuge Liang, who had always put the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the first place, could only remain silent.
There is no way, Jingzhou is related to the fundamental interests of the entire Jingzhou Group, even if Zhuge Liang has a more far-reaching vision, he cannot ignore the fundamental interests of this group at this time.
Fang Shao believed that this edict to return to the army would most likely not be Zhuge Liang's original intention, and should be a decision that had to be made under the pressure of the scholars of the entire Jingzhou Group.
"Da Sima, the army must not be withdrawn, the capital of Wei has fallen, and the hearts of the people are scattered at this moment, all relying on Cao Ying's personal prestige to support it, as long as this battle is won, what Jingzhou is in danger, what Dongwu, are all floating clouds, don't care at all." Jiang Wei has become a staunch main battle faction, and it is obvious that he still thinks that he has not done enough.
Deng Ai said: "Having said that, but now that the imperial court's edict has been issued, if Da Sima does not withdraw the army, will he have to bear a charge of disobedience?" ”
As soon as Deng Ai said this, Jiang Wei had nothing to say.
In the silence, someone suddenly said lightly: "It is not necessary to make the court change its mind, the key is that there must be a reasonable reason." ”
The person who spoke was Wang Jun.
"What does Shiji think?" Fang Shao asked.
Wang Jun said unhurriedly: "The situation in Jingzhou seems to be extremely unfavorable to us on the surface, but in fact, as long as Xiangyang and Jiangling are there, what the Wu people have taken away is just a fur, and there is no need to worry about it at all." At present, the army of Wu is all in Jingzhou, and the troops in the southeast are empty, if we succeed in destroying Wei, we can lead troops to the southeast, and at that time, Wu can only withdraw troops to help, and then the danger of Jingzhou will be solved, and the success of destroying Wei has been completed. I think that if Da Sima replied to the imperial court on this ground, he might be able to persuade the imperial court to retract his fate. ”
After listening to Wang Jun's words, Fang Shao's face showed a little smile.
