Chapter 496: Fight back to Guanzhong
When they arrived in the council hall, they all hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Yi Feng walked towards the seat and stretched out his hand to everyone and pressed down, "It's not a court meeting, where is there so much etiquette, there are no celebrants here, just be casual." β
Gao Gong was already accustomed to Yi Feng's style, so he just nodded, and then waited for Yi Feng to sit down, and then took the lead in speaking. "The old minister heard that many people asked His Highness to suspend the march, but first let the soldiers and people return to their hometowns to harvest wheat and plough in autumn?"
Basically, there are now two major groups in the Taiyuan Imperial Court, one is naturally the princeling led by Yi Feng, and the other is the Guanlong faction headed by Gao Gong, that is, the original Taiyuanzi. Although the Guanlong faction finally betrayed Yang Yong and took the initiative to serve Yi Feng, there were still great differences in governance. For example, in the matter of marching into the army, most of the families of the Guanlong faction are in Beijing, and most of the soldiers in their hands are also soldiers from Guanlonglai, so they have long been in a hurry to fight back to Guanzhong. And Yi Feng's new princeling party is also divided into two parts, one part is the original Huaihuang system, and the other part is the later Youzhou system. Needless to say, the Huaihuang family is a hardcore princeling supporter, and the Youzhou family all followed the prince out of Beijing after the year, and they are also a member of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and their family is also in Guanzhong, and they are also in a hurry to go back.
It can be said that in fact, in the Taiyuan Imperial Court, there is actually a majority of people who support the immediate dispatch of troops to Guanzhong.
Yi Feng knew all about these situations, and at the same time, he didn't plan to force the reverse with everyone.
[
"There is such a thing." Yi Feng nodded first.
Then, without waiting for Gao Gong to answer, he stretched out his hand to stop him, and continued. "I also know that many of you have family businesses in Guanzhong, so I am in a hurry to go back to Guanlong. In fact. My wife and concubine are also in Beijing, and they are still in Yang Xiu's hands. Am I not in a hurry to go back? However, what the elders of Hedong said is also reasonable, the wheat is ripe and harvested, the autumn ploughing is coming, and the seeds must be cultivated and sown, otherwise what will the people eat in winter and what will they eat next spring? If you don't have anything to eat, don't you all have to jump up? Therefore, it has to be both. What about me. After thinking about it for a long time, there is a plan, and now I put it forward for everyone to take a look at and add one or two. β
"Now among the soldiers and horses controlled by the imperial court, they belong to the local government army in Hedong, Hebei and Henan, so I think we can consider disbanding it for the time being, and let everyone go back to their hometowns to harvest and plough in the summer, and when the summer grain is harvested, the autumn grain will be planted. Re-enlist. Well, the farmers in these three places will also be disbanded and released back first. β
Gao Gong and the others listened carefully and did not rush to interrupt.
"Second. All the soldiers from Guanlong's hometown, we will organize them into a rebellious army camp, and they will go south first. As the vanguard of the recovery of Guanzhong. β
He Ruobi and the others also nodded, and the soldiers in Guanzhong were in a hurry to go back. Now that the soldiers in the pass are concentrated as the vanguard of the rebellion, everyone must be willing to go south first.
"It turned out that the imperial court sent troops to the Northern Expedition. The 250,000 horses of the Middle Route Army, many of which were garrisons from the border of Hedong, as well as many government soldiers transferred from Hebei, Hedong and Henan, and many government soldiers transferred from the Guanlong area, about 100,000. In addition, we captured about 20,000 Turkic troops last time. Your Highness, the minister asked to lead these soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and fight all the way back to Guanzhong. He Ruobi asked loudly.
Among the soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan Imperial Court, there were not only these Guanlong soldiers, and many of the Youzhou troops under Yi Feng were troops from Gyeonggi, such as the iron cavalry led by Yang Xiong, as well as thousands of light cavalry and thousands of infantry. In addition, the soldiers and generals of the governors of Youzhou are also from Guanzhong. However, these horses belong to the prince, and He Ruobi didn't mention these.
According to the newly completed registration of the Privy Council of the imperial court, there are now many soldiers and horses in the name of the imperial court, with a total of 790,000 soldiers and horses. Of course, this is a book number, for example, there are 360,000 in the Nanya Army, but in fact, these 360,000 have to be added to Henan and Hebei, including a lot of auxiliaries. However, 100,000 soldiers and horses in the level is still not a small number. That's a good fight.
100,000 people, even if it is forty percent of the auxiliaries, there are still 60,000 soldiers.
"We must do our best to send troops to the pass, we must enter the customs before Yang Guang, and we must recapture the Beijing division before Yang Guang." Gao Gong also stated that in his thoughts, the status of Jingshi is extremely important, representing orthodoxy. Since their Taiyuan court is called orthodox, how can they stay in Taiyuan.
Yi Feng also agrees with this idea, but he thinks that although it is important to enter the customs on the last day, it is not absolute.
"Taishi thinks that for these 100,000 rebel vanguards, who is the most suitable to be the marching marshal?" Yi Feng kicked a difficult problem in front of Gao Gong, the old princeling party now has four cores, Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Yu Wenbi, among which He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou are both famous generals and generals. If you send 100,000 Guanzhong troops back to Guanzhong this time, you will definitely have to use Guanzhong Marshal, and you will definitely choose between He Ruobi and Han Baohu. Gao Han has a close relationship with the four of them, forming a very close circle, for Yi Feng, this group is still a big constraint on himself, if he can divide the gang of four, it will definitely help him a lot. Now, let Gao Gong recommend the marshal, whether he recommends He Ruobi or Han Sengshou, he will definitely offend the other. It doesn't have to break up their relationship immediately, at least it can create a little estrangement first, why not.
Gao Gong glanced at Yi Feng, how could he not understand Yi Feng's little abacus, but this question was in front of him, and he couldn't avoid it at all. After thinking about it, he asked Yi Feng, "Your Highness, is the rebel vanguard a 100,000 Guanzhong army, and doesn't send other soldiers and horses?" β
Yi Feng smiled, "100,000 Guanzhong troops plus 20,000 Turkic light cavalry to form a rebel vanguard camp, such strength is enough to be a striker." "Yi Feng doesn't plan to send his own Huaihuang Army, that is, the Northern Ya Army, and he doesn't need to send any officers to mix the sand, it is enough to send some liaison officers. Fighting back to Guanzhong, the Guanzhong army will definitely be more active, and there will be a lot of them, if Yi Feng sends some Huaihuang troops to mix in it, and then get his cronies to unify the army, it is estimated that it will complicate things. As for the control of military power, it can't be controlled for a while, so let's just put it aside.
Gao Gong pondered for a moment, and finally said, "The old minister recommended that Han Shuai lead the rebel vanguard army, and Marshal He Ruo stayed in the Privy Council to assist Marshal Wang. β
As soon as these words came out, He Ruobi's face immediately became ugly, he originally thought that Gao Gong should choose his own no matter what, after all, he had already taken the initiative to ask for the battle commander just now. Moreover, Han Seng Shou is inferior to him in terms of qualifications and prestige, so why did he surpass him? He Ruobi didn't say that he didn't accept Han Seng Shou, it was Han Baohu who was with him back then to destroy Chen's merits, and he had to fight for it. However, Gao Gong also has his own ideas, He Ruobi is indeed highly qualified and prestigious, but He Ruobi still has a lot of shortcomings, especially likes to talk nonsense, proud and complacent. Although Han Sengshou seems to be less prestigious than He Ruo, Han Sengshou's ability is not low, but because of his eldest brother Han Baohu, the emperor deliberately suppressed him and did not let his brothers live in important positions. In fact, Han Seng Shou has commanded the army for many years and has never been defeated, and in the DPRK, it can be said that only Yang Su has the same record. And what makes Gao Gong value the most is that Han Seng Shou is very stable whether he is a person or a commander of the army, and he will lead the troops to the south first, and Gao Gong doesn't have to worry too much.
It's just that his good intentions are obviously not accepted by He Ruobi.
He Ruobi sat there, and finally couldn't help but snort heavily, and stood up, "I think that a certain person is more suitable than Han Shuai to lead the troops south, doesn't the Taishi think that this should not be the case?" β
Seeing his reaction, Gao Gong frowned, and still said in a good voice, "Of course, Marshal He Ruo is suitable for commanding the troops south, but only one marshal is needed at the moment, and the old man feels that those who stay are also deeply responsible." After all, only 100,000 soldiers and horses went south in the early stage, but the Privy Council commanded the 790,000 troops of the imperial court. β
He Ruobi had already ignored these things, and didn't give Gao Gong face at all, and said with a sneer, "Since it's more important to stay, then let Marshal Han stay." β
Seeing that He Ruobi was talking more and more unpleasantly, Han Seng Shou had no choice but to stand up and say, "Since Marshal He Ruo is more willing to lead the troops south, then Marshal He Ruo will lead the troops to the south, and stay in the Privy Council." β
Yi Feng just watched there with a smile, but he didn't speak, he really wanted to watch more such a scene.
In the end, they had already negotiated, and Yi Feng said with a smile, "Since Marshal He Ruo is so loyal and bent on rebellion, then Marshal He Ruo will serve as the marshal of the forward camp of the rebel army, Yang Xiong, the king of Qingzhang, will serve as the chief historian, General Qu Tutong will serve as Sima, and General Wei Yichong will be the head of the front army." β
"Wei Chong is still in Yingzhou, is there a decree to transfer him here?" Liu Wenjing asked.
Wei Chong is the head of Yingzhou, one of the ten governors of Youzhou, and he also has the father of the fiancΓ©e of Yang Guang's second son, Yang Xuan, and Wei Shichong is also a son of the Wei family, one of the top gate valves in the Great Sui, and now guards Yingzhou, Liaoxi. It is also the only manager who was not cleaned and replaced during the purge in Youzhou last year. Although he was far away in Yingzhou, Yi Feng still cared a little about him as Yang Guang's in-laws. In particular, Yingzhou guards the northeast gate of Youzhou, and it is also the border state at the forefront of Goguryeo, Yi Feng must be careful and use a reliable person to garrison Yingzhou. Just take this opportunity to transfer him back and change him to another person.
"Well, immediately transfer the governor of Wei to come, the land of Yingzhou, from the former Huai'an County of Yanzhou, Ling Fang Xuanling will be the inspector of Yingzhou, and Luo Yi, the general of Youzhou Town, will take over the position of governor of Yingzhou, and no longer set up the position of governor of Yingzhou." In the last battle of Daibei, Huai'an City and the people were very good, Qu Tutong's brothers were very good, and Fang Xuanling was also very good, this time Yi Feng simply promoted them, and Luo Yi of Youzhou was also impressed, just right, a school assassin history, a new captain, and then the governor of Yingzhou was directly revoked and no longer established, which can be regarded as a trial trial in advance for the establishment of the province.
"What if Wei Chong doesn't obey the edict?" Liu Wenjing asked again.
"If you refuse to obey the edict, you will be regarded as a rebel and you can send troops to fight for it." Yi Feng was unceremonious, he didn't want to see that there was an opponent behind him. Adjusting Wei Chong to the south was to give each other a chance. If Wei Chong really wanted to follow Yang Guang, then he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless. "In the order to write this sentence to Fang Qiao and Luo Yi, if Wei Chong does not hand over Yingzhou by the edict, they will transfer troops to destroy it."
"Understood." (To be continued......) R1292
