Chapter 09 Desire is higher than the sky
Qi with the sky, that is, the Monkey King. Shuidong, Shuixi, An Song Tian Yang four families, is the southwest of the four kings, Ye Xiaotian married the Tian daughter as a wife, destroyed the Yang family of Bozhou, and An Song side by side......
Perhaps, when Ye Xiaotian sent a letter to Jingzhou, accompanied Shui Wu and Yaoyao all the way to the west, and often entertained himself by learning from the scriptures, he had already foreshadowed today's results and achieved the Great Sage!
A sentence comparable to An Song exposed Ye Xiaotian's ambition, and the hall was full of civil and military enthusiasm.
Once, Ye Xiaotian was able to work hard, travel thousands of miles, and earn fifty taels of silver to be satisfied; Once, he was satisfied if he could be a pawn for a steady term and return home; Once, he was satisfied with being able to show off his talents, but now, what he wants is to compete with An Song.
People's desires and ambitions are always growing with his growth, and is there any expectation for anything further? There should be, it is not the end to be on a par with An Song, if possible, he can even surpass the Shui An clan and become the king of toast!
Further up, there is the throne of the emperor. However, for the emperor's throne, Ye Xiaotian has no ambitions. He has been in Guizhou for a few years, and he has deeply felt that the Tusi system is undoubtedly a more stable and long-term choice for family inheritance than being an emperor.
As an emperor, the hope of success is too slim, the time of the country is too short, and if you want to win the world, you must have to lose your life, once you succeed, it has become a problem to keep the country! With the majestic talents of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors, the country is only a few hundred years, once the country is lost, the consequences are unimaginable, because ...... There is no way back.
And being a toast is different, you can attack, you can retreat, no matter how you change the dynasty, no matter who sits in the world, they are always the emperor of the soil here.
Ye Xiaotian didn't have that much ambition, he wanted to take the Banzhou Yang clan and replace him. is also because as long as he has that hope, and once Banzhou Yang Yinglong sits in the world, he will definitely not be able to let him go, he can only fight hard, so. He aimed to be on par with An Song.
Shui's Xi'an family is waiting, Shuidong's Song family is waiting, more than 100 Tusi of Guizhou size, with the An-Song family being the head of the horse, are also watching, at this time, Ye Xiaotian on Woniu Ridge was born again and made the most eye-catching decision.
Ye Xiaotian did not immediately raise troops, and he now has his own subordinate Tusi. Shiqian Yang family, Zhan family, Tongren Guoji family, Yu family, and the small toasts that are subordinate to these toasts all need to send troops, and this needs to be integrated before the expedition, Ye Xiaotian doesn't want to make a bunch of rabble to embarrass people.
For these toasts, some of them were willing to go out with Ye Xiaotian. Some are unavoidable, because Ye Xiaotian is not invited. Instead, they were semi-forced to give orders, and only if they were willing to send troops could their relationship be more stable, and from then on they would have a stake in Woniuling, sharing weal and woe.
Just when Ye Xiaotian was encouraging troops and lost no time in writing to the imperial court to show his loyalty, Guizhou had already sent troops.
Yang Guozhu, the commander of the capital, and Li Tingdong, the commander, led an army of 20,000 into Banzhou. Yang Chaodong, who stayed in Banzhou, and Yang Zhaolong, He Hanliang and others who rushed back to Banzhou faced Yu Lian Fort. This time, Yang Chaodong repeated his old trick of dealing with the Sichuan army -- a feint of defeat, and he actually succeeded again.
Is it that the officers and soldiers are too stupid? Not really, but the officials and soldiers did not expect that the same method would be used twice. Moreover, the officers and soldiers were actually careful, but the terrain of Banzhou was complicated, and the soldiers and horses of Banzhou were well aware of this complex terrain, so they deliberately failed and took a roundabout escape route It is reasonable to say that it is too late to go back and cooperate with the ambush counterattack, but they are familiar with every path, and they actually successfully implemented another encirclement in the place where the imperial soldiers and horses thought that they would never have time to rush back.
The officers and troops were ambushed in the Tianbang hoard, and all the generals such as Yang Guozhong, the commander Li Tingdong, and Pan Ruzi were killed. Banzhou won victories on the northern front, and the southern front achieved such military exploits, the world shook for a while, Wanli heard the news, and immediately transferred Li Hualong, who knew the soldiers and horses, to return to Sichuan, and added the rank of squire of the military department, controlled the military affairs of Sichuan, Hu, and Guizhou provinces, and gave Shang Fang a sword.
Subsequently, the imperial court transferred 170,000 officers and soldiers from Shu, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Shandong, Ning, Jin and other provinces, and approached the four borders of Banzhou, plus the local fighting troops, with a total strength of more than 240,000.
Yang Yinglong took advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life had not yet arrived to form an iron lock on the river, and personally led an army of 80,000 to conquer the Qijiang River at the south gate of Chongqing, an important town in eastern Sichuan, in one fell swoop, and then retreated to Sanxi in an attempt to demarcate the border and self-government.
Yang Yinglong also has a strategist, his strategist is called Sun Shitai, suggesting that he should take advantage of the fact that the army of officers and soldiers has not yet assembled, first break the Qijiang River, go straight to Chengdu, and take the king of Shu as a hostage, once Sichuan is in chaos, the imperial court of more than 200,000 troops is simply not enough, you must know that he is wandering and doing chaos, but the imperial court has many places that need to be protected and maintained.
However, Yang Yinglong was worried that the imperial court soldiers and horses were twice as large as his own, and the imperial court could still continuously transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and he had gradually dispelled the idea of seizing the Central Plains.
Sun Shitai saw such a good strategy, but it was not adopted by Yang Yinglong, he really had the feeling that Fan had met the overlord of Chu, and he was extremely depressed in his heart. In desperation, he made another middle strategy, suggesting that Yang Yinglong should not dispose of the troops, since the total strength is not as good as the imperial court, it is better to avoid the strong and weak, let you come a few ways, I will only go all the way, concentrate the superior forces to destroy its way, and then break it one by one after succeeding.
This trick was originally an excellent way to use the weak against the strong, and later succeeded in winning the emperors of the world, there is more than one person who applies this method, but Yang Yinglong has already made up his mind, to divide the current territory and establish himself as the emperor, as long as he can withstand the attack of the imperial court, self-reliance is a fait accompli, so it is still not adopted.
Yang Yinglong led the army to attack Qijiang, broke through the county seat in one go, slaughtered the whole city, and annihilated the general Fang Jiazhong, the guerrilla Zhang Liangxian and the 3,000 officers and soldiers who defended the county seat of Qijiang.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian asked for an order to send troops, and the concert to coordinate the counterinsurgency was also sent to the capital. The first person to take the lead in everything may not be the person who has contributed the most and made the most contributions, but it must be him who remembers the superior, Ye Xiaotian is the first person in the Tusi to show his loyalty to the imperial court.
For a while, Wanli didn't care if this kid had a speculative mentality, and was inexplicably grateful to Ye Xiaotian for sending charcoal in the snow. Wanli immediately issued an order to promote Ye Xiaotian to the commander of Woniu. Control the soldiers and horses of Tongren, Shiqian, Sizhou, Sinan, Zhenyuan, Wuluo, Xinhua and Liping.
These eight mansions, in fact, are still under the rule of local officials, and the scope of the imperial court is limited, and the Wanli Emperor has done a favor by handing over the eight mansions, which are not directly controlled by the imperial court, to Ye Xiaotian, and the imperial court is only paying a "name". As for whether you can control it, it depends on your own ability, Ye Xiaotian.
These eight mansions, which were the territory of the Tian family back then, were calculated by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, father and son, and divided into eight mansions, and the soil flow has been ruled for more than 100 years, and the Tian family has been in the hands of Ye Xiaotian for 800 years.
In this way, Ye Xiaotian actually brought these eight mansions under his rule. inherited the mantle of the Tian family completely, he did not come out of the army, and with only one movement, he really stood at a height comparable to An Song.
However, he is not a consolation envoy, nor is he a consolation envoy, he is a commanding envoy, and he only controls these eight prefectures in wartime. That is, for the needs of the war, the commander of the theater was temporarily established. Once the war is over, this position is to be abolished.
Then, because of the threat of Banzhou Yang Yinglong and the current prestige of Woniuling, even if he can temporarily control Bafu, how can he not control it legally after the war. can also completely control these eight mansions from the fact, it depends on Ye Xiaotian's methods.
And this is not without means available, in ancient times, Dayu to control the water, relying on the process of water control he mastered the country's manpower and material resources. After the success of the water control, Emperor Shun was forced to step down, "Zen let go" the country, and let go of exile. As long as Ye Xiaotian is good at using means, he can also grasp the lifeblood of the Eight Mansions in the process of counterinsurgency, and let them obediently obey orders from now on.
"Conspiracy and calculation, you are inferior to me; Majestic Yangmou, I'm not as good as you! Brother Tian, how to rectify the Eight Mansions, after the Banzhou Rebellion, we can still bring the Eight Mansions under our rule, this matter will be entrusted to you! ”
Ye Xiaotian said sincerely to Tian Binfei, Tian Binfei nodded, and said, "It is incumbent!" However, you promised me ......"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I have already sent a letter to the Tian family, as long as the Tian family is willing to cooperate with me, I will give the Tian family the first credit for quelling the rebellion in the future!" ”
Tian Binfei nodded with satisfaction, and Ye Xiaotian said to Li Dazhuo: "Brother Tian is unable to move, you come to help!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said to Tian Miaowen again: "Yunfei and I will lead the troops to the battle, and the logistics and baggage will even be up and down Woniuling, and it will be up to you to take care of it." ”
Tian Miaowen said gently: "Don't worry! ”
Ye Xiaotian turned to Luo Tycoon again and said, "Tycoon, you are not from Woniuling, but our own brother, I won't say anything about the outside, you are good at managing money, your sister-in-law is here, you have to help a little." ”
Luo Daheng patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, big brother, I have everything with me, and I will never teach my sister-in-law to work hard!" ”
Tian Miaowen's face was slightly dizzy, and she bowed her head shyly. Xia Yingying said happily: "What about me? How can I help you? ”
"You ......" Ye Xiaotian looked solemn: "You take good care of your body, give birth to a healthy and lively baby for my Ye family, it will be a great achievement!" ”
Yingying's face was suddenly full of shyness, and she snorted lightly, and Xia Fei had her cheeks.
During this time, Tian Miaowen and Xia Yingying were pregnant one after another. Originally, it was common for three and five years to get pregnant after being married, so Tian Miaowen had never been pregnant and was not in a hurry, but she didn't want Xia Yingying to be the first to get pregnant, and I don't know if it was affected by her luck, Tian Miaowen also secretly got married, so Ye Xiaotian told the tycoon not to let Tian Miaowen work too hard.
Zhan Ning'er was anxious and asked, "Then what am I doing?" ”
Ye Xiaotian pressed her ear and said in a very low voice: "Let you **** tonight!" ”
Zhan Ning'er's pretty face became a big red cloth when she landed, Ye Xiaotian is rarely so frivolous, people often say that power is a man's spring. Medicine, Ye Xiaotian, who suddenly mastered the military power of the Eight Mansions, couldn't help but say something that he would never say before.
Tian Miaowen and the others only saw Ye Xiaotian whispering in her ear, and Zhan Ning'er's face turned as pale as Zhu, and they couldn't help but cast curious eyes at her, and Zhan Ning'er was even more embarrassed. Ye Xiaotian succeeded in flirting, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go separately, tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to pull!" ”
When Ye Xiaotian said this, he took a deep breath, looked at the sunset on the horizon, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Before leaving, I want to meet someone and have a good chat!" ”
: At the beginning of the month, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets! (To be continued.) )
