Chapter 409: Counterattack
"I have a task for you." Yi Feng responded to Jia Xiong and Liu Heimin, who were called.
Liu Heimin didn't ask any tasks, he gave a military salute first, clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped it on his left chest, and said loudly: "Raise soldiers for thousands of miles, use soldiers for a while, use me in the first battle, and use me to win!" "This attitude is very upright and positive, which makes Yi Feng very satisfied." Very well, you still remember what I asked of the Flag Guards, and this is what I ask of you, and what you should ask of yourself. The Huaihuang Army is the steel knife that defends Huaihuang, and the Flag Guard is the tip of this steel knife. Now the time has come to test you. After training for so long, whether it's a donkey or a horse, it's time to pull it out. This time I have entrusted you with an important task, and I will work together with Teco to complete it successfully. ā
"What is the mission?" Jia Xiong didn't have the courage of Liu Heimin, he didn't dare to knock on his chest and shout what to use in the first battle, and use the slogan that I will win.
"The task is simple, I want you to bring me a few back." Yi Feng said as he handed the freshly written page on the table to Jia Xiong's hand.
Jia Xiong took the piece of paper, seven names were written on it, he first secretly praised His Highness's good handwriting, this is a calligraphy font that no one has ever had, it is very beautifully written, full of everyone's bearing, I have heard that His Royal Highness's calligraphy, painting and poetry are unique, and today is the first time to see His Royal Highness's calligraphy. After admiring the calligraphy, he carefully looked at the seven names, ["Xiao Maha, Pei Wen'an, Yu Gongli, Qi Liang, Liu Jian, Zhong Kui, Ru Ru Tianbao."]
"These are the seven men, and I ask you not to take them down and bring them back to me."
"These seven people are all the inner henchmen of the Han King and the Prefecture Governor's Mansion." Jia Xiong said with some surprise. And these seven people are not just the henchmen of King Han, and they are all high-ranking officials and generals. Not to mention that Xiao Maha was once the god of war in the Southern Dynasties, and now he leads the military of the Han Palace. And Pei Wen'an is also an important strategist of the Han King, just talking about Zhong Kui's five, that is the guy who is known as the five tiger generals of Bingzhou. They were not some minor officers under the command of King Han, and the five of them were all general managers of the five state capitals around Taiyuan, the capital of the state. The senior military generals of the third grade, before the reform of the rank of official and honorable officer, the five were all with the rank of general, and now although they have been changed to the protector, they are also senior generals, not to mention that the general manager is regarded as a senior official of the third grade. Moreover, the protectors are only separated from the Pillar Country by one upper protector. His Royal Highness actually wants to kidnap these seven guys, too
"Is Your Highness going to be dead or alive?" Jia Xiong was still surprised, but Liu Heimin over there had already agreed neatly.
"It's better to be alive, of course, if you can't catch the living, it's okay to die." Yi Feng didn't care about it, no matter what kind of Five Tiger Generals, the Southern Dynasty God of War, and whether they were the head of the three products or the protectors who were only one step away from the Pillar Kingdom, since they were desperately following Yang Liang to deal with themselves. Then I will respect them again. Of course, Yi Feng wanted to send the special operations unit of the Flag Guard to arrest these guys, not just to take revenge. The main thing is to deal with Yang Liang, Yang Liang is not Yang Guang. This guy has only been out of town for two years, and his roots are not deep, although he has the reputation of the emperor's favorite son-in-law. But this kind of person has great ambition and talent, and his eyes are low. But these guys under him are very powerful. Xiao Maha's name as the god of war in the Southern Dynasty is naturally needless to say, from Nanliang to Nanchen back then. Fought countless battles, and played a famous name early in each battle. Although he is now old, he still has those experiences, and he is an extremely powerful military commander. Although Pei Wenan is the lowest official among several people, this guy's strategic vision is very old. In history, Yang Guang was proclaimed emperor, and Yang Liang rebelled. Wang Hao persuaded Yang Liang, saying that most of the generals and soldiers under Yang Liang were from Guanzhong, and the families of the soldiers were all in Guanxi, and if they were to be used as the main force, they should launch an attack, drive straight in, and directly capture the Beijing Division. And if you only plan to occupy the old land of Northern Qi, divide the Kwantung and confront Yang Guang, and slowly fight for the world, then you should reuse the Kwantung people. As a result, Yang Liang hesitated, but in the end he chose to use both strategies, and even did not dare to shout out the name of direct rebellion, but declared that Yang Su had conspired against him and wanted to punish the rebels and clear the king's side.
Wang Fei's strategy is good, he can choose any one, but Yang Liang chooses both, and he doesn't dare to openly pull the flag to rebel.
As a result, there were elite soldiers in the state and the vast old land of Northern Qi, but the initial opportunity was missed.
Later, it was Pei Wen'an who thought of a good plan for Yang Liang, Pei Wen'an built a yƬ to Yang Liang, saying that now the Hedong region west of Jingcheng is under the control of the king, and the troops east of Taihang are also under the command of the king. Then they should all be mobilized, and the old and weak should be stationed at the dangerous points, so that they can expand their land at any time. Then lead the elite, go straight to Pujin Pass, and attack Guanzhong. And he invited himself to be the striker, and then asked Yang Liang to lead the main force to follow up, launch a blitzkrieg, advance to the Bashang and Xianyang areas, and go straight to the Beijing Division. Hit Yang Guang by surprise, so that he did not have time to gather the rest of the local troops, so that they could directly besiege the center, and once the Beijing division was under it, the world's major events could be decided.
Pei Wen'an's plan is similar to Wang Yan's, but it is more detailed. Wang Fei's plan was only a general direction, but Pei Wen'an directly made strategic and tactical arrangements.
At the beginning, Yang Liang did agree to Pei Wen'an's blitzkrieg plan,
Pei Wenan immediately led the forward straight to Puzhou, preparing to grab the bridge and break into Guanzhong. But at this moment, Yang Liang suddenly changed his mind, he asked Pei Wenan to burn the Pujin Bridge, an important passage for Hedong to attack Guanzhong, and then recalled Pei Wenan and asked him to be the assassin of Jinzhou. At that time, Pei Wenan said to Yang Liang quite sadly, military operations must be secretive and fast, in order to surprise the enemy, the king did not personally recruit, and I was transferred back, so that the enemy could calculate, and the big thing would be gone forever. It's a pity that Yang Liang didn't listen to it at all, and Pei Wenan went to Jinju gloomily. As a result, Yang Guang sent Yang Su to lead a hastily assembled 5,000 cavalry, and arrived in Puzhou after a long night, and then raided and seized the important place Puzhou, and finally gathered the army like a snowball, all the way to Taiyuan, and finally Yang Liang surrendered and was escorted back to Beijing.
It can be said that Yang Liang's rebellion was like child's play, but in fact, Yang Liang had the most elite soldiers and horses in the world at that time, a group of excellent generals, and a vast and wealthy area. There are excellent strategists such as Pei Wen'an and Wang Fei, and there are excellent generals such as Xiao Maha and Zhong Kui. In the end, it was because of Yang Liang's incompetence and reckless decision-making that the rebellion was quickly suppressed.
Yang Liang is incompetent. But Pei Wenan is quite good. His blitzkrieg plan is very much like the German style of World War II in later generations. Arguably. If it weren't for Yang Liang's sudden change of mind at that time, he ordered Pei Wenan to stop the march. Then Pei Wen'an's forward can use the lightning raid to take the Pujin Bridge in one fell swoop, attack Guanzhong, and occupy a bridgehead, so that Yang Liang's main force will go straight to the Beijing division and the troops will come to the city. At that time, Yang Su, who was rushing east, only had 5,000 cavalry, and his movements were much slower than Pei Wen'an.
Yang Liang is like Yang Xuangan later. Pei Wen'an is the kind of Yang Mi who advises Yang Xuangan about the upper, middle and lower strategies, the experience is the same, and the result is the same, Yang Liang and Yang Xuangan both failed, leaving only countless people to sigh infinitely that the strategies offered by Pei Wenan and Li Mi have not been adopted. If their plan had been adopted, perhaps history would have had another outcome.
Although history has long proven that Yang Liang is an incompetent guy. But Yi Feng still planned to take this opportunity to catch all the seven guys who were rushing to the Tianmen Pass. Yang Liang was incompetent. As long as these excellent subordinates are caught again, that guy will not be able to play alone. Of course, Yi Feng didn't have the idea of beating these seven guys in his heart, they are all excellent talents. Excellent strategists and brave generals, if they can be subdued, it will be a huge boost. Although this probability is low. It's very difficult, but how do you know without trying? It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. I can't use it myself, and I can't give it to Yang Liang. You don't have to kill them yourself, as long as you are under house arrest and imprisoned in Huaihuang, it is definitely equivalent to cutting off Yang Liang's arms.
"This task is entrusted to you, do you understand the key?" Yi Feng asked.
"Yes, Your Highness needs to be kept secret." Jia Xiong is not very bold, but his brain is still good. Since these people are in the Tianmen Pass, when the army enters the pass and breaks the opponent's trickery, they can be arrested directly, why do they have to send the flag guards and special branches to be responsible for it? As long as he thought about it, he understood that the identities of these seven people were still very sensitive, and if he shot directly, these people would definitely not be left to His Highness to dispose of by himself in the end, and in the end they could only be escorted to Jingshi. If you don't get it right, these people can still be bailed out in the end. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good way to secretly make these people disappear. In addition, these people must still be useful to His Highness, otherwise there would be no need to be so troublesome, just kill them, and then it will be enough to get one to die in the chaos.
After Jia Xiong and Liu Heimin left, Yi Feng sat in the simple wing room in the small temple, staring at the candle flame on the table, and was in a trance for a while. He was even thinking about what would happen if he simply took Tianmen Pass and shot back and took Taiyuan City. However, this thought is just a thought, Yang Jian is not dead yet, and his Huaihuang army is not so strong now. Besides, he is not short of territory now, the Youzhou Mansion given to him by the emperor, the territory of the thirty-two states, he really controls only one. When can he really control these thirty-two states, or even only the eleven states of the Han land, or even half of them, will he have the strength to openly pull the flag, or he needs to seek more territory. Now, he really doesn't need too much territory, he can't digest it at all, the harm outweighs the benefits, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Yang Jian seems to have five years to live, if history does not change. Five years is enough time for him to prepare. He should continue to accumulate strength, even the safest, in fact, there is no need to completely tear his face with Yang Liang now. But Yi Feng can't be so rational, if he doesn't show his teeth properly, I'm afraid that others won't face up to his status at all. And he is still worried about one thing, Yang Jian does have five years to live in history, but Yang Yong is about to be abolished. What if history remains the same, and Yang Yong is still abolished after the Northern Expedition? At that time, it would be a big trouble for Yi Feng, and he only had two results, one was that he would be deposed together, and it was very likely that he would be recalled to the Jingshi at that time, and it would never be possible for him to still sit in the position of the chief administrator of Youzhou. Another result is that his position as the crown prince remains unchanged and he is still the prince, but this possibility is very small, and even if he is really the crown prince, then once the prince dies, it is impossible for him, the prince, to continue to stay in Youzhou, and still have to return to Daxing City. This will never be the result of Yi Feng's needs, thinking about it, it seems that the current situation has entered a strange situation again, and he actually needs to keep the current situation unchanged. In other words, Yang Yong's continued sitting on the crown prince seems to be the most beneficial for him in the next few years.
With Yang Yong continuing to be the crown prince, his status as a grandson will not be impacted, and he can continue to maintain the current situation and continue to stay in Youzhou. Yang Yong continued to be the crown prince until Yang Jian's death, which was five years in between, which meant that he could have five years to develop himself. This is really a rather ridiculous inference, and Yi Feng himself has an urge to laugh. But this is the case, Yang Yong became the emperor, and he might be the first to deal with Yi Feng. But after all, he didn't become an emperor for a day, and he and Yi Feng were one. And once Yang Yong is deposed, Yi Feng will be implicated immediately. It's funny, but that's how amazing it is.
As for how to ensure that Yang Yong's position as Prince Yang Yong is not lost, Yi Feng also finds it difficult, but it is worth a try. After all, compared with history, although Yang Guang has never been the commander of the Northern Expedition, Yang Yong has never been either. But now Yang Yong not only replaced Yang Guang as the commander of the Northern Expedition, but Yang Guang was also under house arrest in Beijing, not to mention, there was a switch of kings, and the five major governors were exchanged. This seems to have weakened the prestige of the kings, especially to Yang Guang and Yang Liang, but the interests of this matter are Yi Feng and the crown prince.
Maybe people who know his background will think that he should help Yang Guangcai no matter what, after all, that is his biological father. But Yi Feng is not the real Yang Lin after all, and he and Yang Guang do not have any real father-son relationship. Besides, in the royal family, is there a real father's love, Yang Yong will not make Yi Feng feel better when he becomes the emperor, and Yang Guang will admit him as an illegitimate child, if it is an ordinary illegitimate child, it is fine. After all, his biological mother is the former crown princess, and he has already exposed this identity in front of the world, everyone knows that he is the son of the concubine, the son of the crown prince Yang Yong, and the eldest grandson of the emperor. And one day in the future, Yang Guang will become the emperor, how can he tell the world that Yang Lin is actually the son of him and Concubine Yuan? Will he say, can he speak?
He believes that Yang Guang will definitely be like Yang Yong today, and he will never want anyone to know such a truth. (To be continued......) R1292
