Long Xiang originally wanted to use the cavalry of Yangmacheng to gallop to the aid of Loushan Pass, so as to ensure that Loushan was not lost. Unexpectedly, the general of Yangma City refused to carry out his orders. This lord is a member of the Tian clan, and he supports Tian Niangniang's son, and Yang Chaodong is regarded by him as a revenge. It is best to borrow the hands of officers and soldiers to cut off his head, so how can they send troops to save him?

Long Xiang obviously lacked sufficient understanding of this kind of personnel struggle and factional struggle within Banzhou, and only considered the military level, not the struggle level. I had a nose of dust in the horse city, so I had to ride alone to the sea dragon hoard for help. For the failure of the Loushanguan operation, the Banzhou Ministry of National Defense, the highest military organization built by Long Xiang, after several days of discussion, unanimously said that the biggest responsible person was Ma Longxiang. Construction yì disposal: Remove Long Xiang from his position to observe the after-effects.

When the Ministry of National Defense was first established, Long Xiang once said that this was an institutional setup ahead of the times, and Banzhou had this institution, and if it didn't fight, it would win half of it first. But now, this organization has become a sharp blade against himself. The people in the Ministry of Defense are all from the Yang family, and the current situation is that as long as the surname Yang and the surname Tian are located, they can have a position to sit in. On the contrary, if Yang Butian does not belong to the circle of new surnames, Banzhou will not be able to find a chair, under this advanced system of cooking, Long Xiang, an outsider, jumps up and down in Banzhou, and has great influence, which naturally hinders everyone's eyes.

In the dispute between the establishment of the reserve and the prince, he was also labeled as an untrustworthy, no position, and an opportunist by various factions. He does not support anyone to be the crown prince, and even stabs Yang Yinglong into the hereditary lineage. Without the absurd advice of the prince, who can like him? Taking advantage of the loss of Loushan Pass, the forces of all parties are unanimously attacking together, and it is not surprising that they want to drive him out of the decision-making level of Banzhou.

It was still Yang Yinglong who remembered that he was his son-in-law and left him a staff position, otherwise the current Long Xiang was afraid that he would have to go to the front line to be an observer or something like that, or go home to make a living. However, he is willing to do everything with his heart, and I heard that Yang Yinglong ordered a decisive battle in Yangma City. So he hurried to admonish.

"Always poke your majesty. Father-in-law, old Taishan, this thing can't be helped. We have lost Loushan Pass, our morale has been greatly damaged, and the officers and men have won a new victory. Morale is high. Now we are avoiding it. After he slackened. Fight back again. According to the son-in-law's opinion, the officers and men are well-fed and well-trained. I can't resist it. A head-to-head battle is not the best policy. It is better to break up the whole into pieces and engage in a guerrilla fight with the officers and soldiers. Hide the army among the people, so that they will be empty and strong, and they will not know where to fight. We can take the opportunity to launch a small surprise attack, burn its grain and grass, seize its ordnance, and harass the enemy so that he cannot gain a foothold. When the veterans of his division are tired and unable to continue, they will counterattack again, and they will definitely succeed in the first battle. ”

Long Xiang's strategy, if Zheng Guobao hears it, he will definitely praise a good strategy. This is almost the transformation of the sixteen-character policy of the great men of later generations, and if it is really applied to officers and soldiers, it will make Zheng Guobao suffer a lot. But Yang Yinglong sank his face: "Nonsense! If you weren't my son-in-law, I'd beat you out right now!" I am always stabbed, the hundred spirits help each other, the ancestors of the Yang family, the mountain gods of the 100,000 mountains, are all on my side, I don't go to the officers and soldiers with real swords and guns, but I want to hide, what kind of fighting, what face will there be in the future? Besides, those Miao people worship warriors, and they admire heroes who dare to fight head-on with tigers and bears, not what you say. If I had ordered it to be arranged like this, the Miao people would have thought that I was a gutsless soft-bastard and would have left me. Without the help of outsiders, what can we do against the officers and soldiers? Besides, where will our money and food come from? What to feed the three armies? Finally, and most importantly. If I don't get them together, who can guarantee that these people won't be deserters? I will break the troops into pieces on the front foot, and they will run home to farm or go to the officers and soldiers on the back foot. These hundreds of thousands of people are together, supervising each other, so that there is no mass escape, otherwise you and I are happy to gather so many people to eat food? I have these horses in my hands, which is where my capital lies, and if I hide it among the people, a few hillbillies can tie me up and hand it over to the officers and soldiers for reward. You have a good brain, but unfortunately you are an outsider after all, and if you don't understand the actual situation of our Banzhou, don't talk nonsense. Loushanguan, many people have opinions about you, you have a good rest recently, learn more, listen more, and speak less. ”

Long Xiang hung his head down, and his ambition was beaten down eighty percent. I thought that with what I had learned far beyond the times, I would be able to show my strength, but unfortunately the facts hit him one after another, and even Yang Yinglong, who had always supported him, began to stop obeying him. What made him even more discouraged, what Yang Yinglong said, was the truth. If you want to engage in guerrilla warfare, mass support comes first. But the problem is that since Banzhou made a dish to cook its own oil, and after the election was consoled, there was no mass support, and Yang Yinglong, the general stab, because he was not the emperor, also made the people feel unreliable and refused to support. If we talk about the people's hearts and minds, our own side will certainly not have a greater advantage than the officers and men. Of course, the Yang family's clan will definitely support Yang Yinglong, and other people's clans will definitely support their own patriarch. In addition, most of the common people below support the imperial court, as long as the bounty given by the imperial court is high enough, any of them can be betrayed.

In fact, when the news came that several old people with surnames defected to the official army and betrayed Loushanguan. The furious Yang Yinglong once issued an order to bloodbath several old and young women and children as punishment for betrayal. However, after the troops were sent down, they found that the women and children with several surnames were actually protected. Protecting them were several major clan forces close to the Yang family, and they protected and transferred the family members of several surnames to the area controlled by the officers and soldiers, so that Yang Yinglong's bloodbath plan was completely bankrupt.

The Banshu Social Security Bureau immediately cracked the case of internal and external cooperation and secret communication between officers and soldiers. But even the person in charge of the Security Bureau has something to do with the case, and his family is also involved in the team of protectors. As a member of the family, he could only throw the reconnaissance report into the fire and choose not to report it. Even if it is reported, what can Yang Yinglong do? Kill all these families? Even his beloved concubine Tian Niangniang's family is involved, and if he attacks the Tian family, the entire army will be chaotic. Moreover, Tian Yang married, Yang Yinglong couldn't do anything to his clan.

This huge and sturdy clan network caught Yang Yinglong's hands and feet, and he could only watch the family members he wanted to kill slip out from under his nose and safely enter the Mingtong District, or according to the name of the government, the Guangfu District. There is no way to do this, after the loss of Loushan Pass, the hearts of the people below were shaken, and many people began to think about leaving a way back for themselves, and began to secretly contact the officers and soldiers.

Yang Yinglong knew that if he couldn't fight a beautiful battle and hit the Ming army hard, he didn't know how many of his people would defect to the opposite side, and at that time, it would be the real building that would collapse, and it would be difficult to support it alone. He looked dejected, and comforted: "Don't be too sad. This battle is also a decision made by the Ministry of Defense, didn't you say it, the system should be above people, not the other way around. Since the Ministry of Defense has made a decision, you should also obey that decision. Otherwise, wouldn't it become the chaos you said? I am the lord of all peoples, and I have the protection of great luck, and I am undefeated in this battle. Don't forget, I'm the god of war in our Banzhou, and we still have an advantage in troops, so we still have the advantage in this battle. As long as you do your best to assist me and win this battle, we don't have to worry. When the people's hearts are calmed down and the morale is boosted, maybe they will be able to fight the guerrilla you said. Besides, if the imperial court suffers a big loss this time, it may be willing to sit down and negotiate with us, but it may not be. ”

Long Xiang sighed, "I listen to my father-in-law's arrangement, and my son-in-law has nothing to disobey." I'll go down and check the equipment, check the grain and grass, and see what is missing. We are not too abundant in food and grass now, and we are only afraid that the officers and troops will take a confrontation with us and refuse to attack. ”

Yang Yinglong shook his head, "I look at Zheng Guobao's posture, it seems that he wants to divide three by five, destroy our Banzhou, kill one by one, and scare other toasts, so as to realize his land change and return." Therefore, he will definitely bring troops here, and when the time comes, I will let him know how good my methods are, and I will teach him a lesson that I will never forget! (To be continued......)
