Chapter 480: Three Kings Called Emperors
"Good plan." Yi Feng first praised it, but shook his head again, "But I don't think we can do it." "Li Mi's plan is based on the premise of being able to seize the military power of Gao Gong and He Ruobi, and Gao Gong and He Ruobi now have 150,000 troops in their hands, especially these two are not simple people, they are both famous generals for a while, especially Gao Gong, although he has always been the prime minister and a civilian official, but he has led the army a lot of times, and every time he is the commander of the army, he is quite powerful in dispatching the commander. It is difficult to grasp the control of Gao Gong He Ruobi, who has 150,000 soldiers.
Li Mi felt that his plan was very feasible, "His Royal Highness led the army south to Yunnei in the name of encircling Dulan, and after arriving, he summoned Gao Gong He Ruobi to meet in the army, and then took the opportunity to take it in one fell swoop, and then seized the power of his troops and controlled his various departments, which is completely feasible." ā
"No, your plan is too simple for Gao Gong. The most important point is that even if we march quickly, it will take three days to reach Yunnei, and after three days, do you think Gao Gong will not know about the changes in Beijing, at that time, we will go south to Yunnei, how can Gao Gong not be vigilant, and how can he lightly enter our army? "Gao Gong has been in charge of the government for nearly 20 years, even if he is now far away from Beijing and in Daibei, although he does not have Yi Feng's flying pigeon to transmit messages, he must also have his own sources, four or five days, even if Daibei is thousands of miles away from Beijing, but only to transmit emergency military information, these times are completely enough for Gao Gong to receive information from Beijing. After Gao Gong learned about the changes in Beijing, Yi Feng hurriedly led the army to Yunnei to summon Gao Gong to discuss matters in the army, and Gao Gong would come?
The plan is good, but unfortunately there are still too many loopholes that are simply difficult to implement. And if it is not possible to seize the power of the high horses. It would not be wise to venture south.
The more you need to plan before you act.
Li Mi took a step back, "Your Highness, if the crown prince is in control of the situation at that time. That would be extremely detrimental to His Highness. ā
"But we don't have a better way now."
"The minister offers the middle way."
"What's the middle policy?"
"Wait and see." Li Miwei analyzed for Yi Feng, "Now His Royal Highness owns the land of the eleven states of Youzhou, and the twenty-one states of Sanfan are remanded, and there are no less than 200,000 troops, which is an extremely strong strength." Even if His Highness doesn't do anything, it is a strength that cannot be underestimated. At this time. His Royal Highness can think that everything should change, let them fight, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In general, the crown prince's side is in a more advantageous position, while the king of Jin is now at a disadvantage. No surprises. When the crown prince and Gao Gong led the Hebei army back to Beijing, Yang Xiu couldn't stop it at all. At that time, the crown prince will be the emperor, and His Royal Highness will hold 200,000 heavy soldiers, and the new emperor will not dare to tamper with His Royal Highness until the situation in the world is truly stabilized. In short, regardless of the changes in the capital division, His Royal Highness only needs to base himself in the northern Xinjiang and stabilize his strength. Even. We can also take advantage of the opportunity of the prince going south, and by the way, Shuo and Wei Erzhou outside Yanmen Pass can also be taken under control together. If you have the opportunity, you can also see if you can take Taiyuan. When His Royal Highness controls the overall situation of the north. Even if the new emperor sits on the throne in Beijing, His Royal Highness will still be the irreplaceable His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time. ā
"You are mentioning yƬ separation, and you have self-respect." Yi Feng nodded, this is also a good building. In the short term, it seems good, but in the long term. At this time, if we sit back and ignore the disputes in the Central Plains, then there is indeed a good time for development. But once the new court calms down the situation. Who wants to sit back and watch him divide one side like this? At that time, it will be another big war. And then. He would have to face the crusade of the whole world alone, which didn't seem like a good plan.
Yi Feng shook his head.
Seeing Yi Feng shaking his head, Li Mi seemed a little disappointed.
"Don't you have a plan?"
Li Mi didn't seem to want to say this strategy, but in the end, he came out with a tray, "The next policy, His Highness sent the surrendered Turkic army from Ulzhou to break into the Xin Dynasty, go straight to the annexed state, and raid to take the prince." His Royal Highness led his army to follow the Turkic army, 'defeated the Turkic army', and rescued the prince. Or, the crown prince died in the chaos, or there was no need for the Turkic army, only a few capable assassins were sent to Taiyuan to assassinate the prince, so that His Royal Highness would be the most legitimate heir to the throne, and then order Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Yang Su and other armies and hundreds of officials in the world to rebel against the thieves. ā
"It's really the next policy, if it fails, where will the people of the world put me?"
Yi Feng was a little exhausted, and it was indeed difficult to choose.
After Li Mi left, a red whisk in black leather armor walked out of the corner with a sword, she hid it very well, and Li Mi didn't notice her at all just now.
"If you need to, I can assassinate Yang Yong, and I will definitely be able to kill him." She told Yi Feng, "Even if you miss it, you will never be implicated in Your Highness." ā
"I don't need to bother you about this." Yi Feng smiled, "You just need to protect me from being assassinated by enemy assassins." ā
Yi Feng took paper and ink, and wanted to write a letter to Yang Guang. But after only writing the beginning, he crumpled the letter paper and threw it into the brazier. He didn't want to see Yang Yong sit on the dragon chair lightly, but he didn't want to meet Yang Yong immediately, he wanted to remind Yang Guang to let him prepare early, and wanted Yang Guang to confront Yang Yong, and then he could profit from it, but he was worried that Yang Guang would turn over because of this, and finally steal the dragon chair throne. It's really tangled!
Where should I go? Looking at the crumpled letterhead, he thought.
Liu Wenjing wore shiny mirror armor and came back with a smile on her face, "Congratulations to Your Highness." He saluted as he spoke.
Yi Feng got up and asked him to sit down, "How do you reply?" ā
"He is willing to surrender," Liu Wenjing said, "but with conditions." First of all, he was willing to surrender with his troops, but he did not disarm, and his troops were not to be scattered, they were willing to surrender, and immediately retreated to the steppe, and that's all. ā
Yi Feng frowned, "This is not enough, I can allow them not to disarm, nor to break up and split his troops." But he must surrender and swear allegiance to the Great Sui to me, and for the time being, he cannot return to the grasslands, and until this war is completely over, he must be at my command, and I will fight until the war is finally over. After the battle, I will let them return to the steppe tribes, but until then. They will fight for me, and I will provide them with food and fodder, and I will reward them for their meritorious service. That was the condition, and I gave him another half day to think about it, and he had to give an accurate reply before it got dark. Otherwise, there will be only one battle, and I will send troops to destroy them completely, and when they are defeated and captured, they will no longer enjoy such good conditions. ā
"yes, I see." Liu Wenjing knew that the tougher the attitude at this time. On the contrary, it is easier to force the Turks to back down. "I don't know how His Highness intends to act next, I'm not talking about the Turks, but about the Jingshi."
"Someone told me to send an assassin to assassinate the crown prince, so that I could command the 250,000 imperial army in Hedong. Gao Gong He Ruobi and other former princes and their party will also turn to support me. "Yi Feng Dao.
"Maybe so, but maybe the matter will be revealed, and then His Highness's reputation will be ruined, and others will be cheapened for nothing." Liu Wenjing said. "Perhaps, Your Highness can send more killers and simply kill Yang Xiu, Yang Guang, Yang Jun, and Yang Liang, so that no one can compete with you for the world."
Yi Feng couldn't help but chuckle. "The world is not decided by a few assassins."
"Yes, the most important thing is strength. His Royal Highness is both famous and powerful, so there is no need to worry too much about it. Of course, if the crown prince dies, it is indeed beneficial to His Royal Highness, and of course, it would be better if someone else took action. Liu Wenjing smiled gloomily.
Bands of cavalry slowly walked out of the camp and drove out onto the wide plain. Queue up neatly.
On the opposite side of this open team, there is an even larger array of teams ahead. At the front of the queue is a tall white tiger. Yi Feng sat on a horse in armor and watched Nili Khan walk towards with a group of special services, Qi Jin and other tribal leaders and officers.
Nili walked in front of Yi Feng, untied his golden wolf's head scimitar and held it in his hand, knelt on one knee, and surrendered to Yi Feng.
"The one who knows the times is Junjie, Lone is very happy with the decision made by Nili Khan, and here, Lone also promises you that the conditions promised by Lone will never change, and after the war is over, you will be released to return to the grassland. Before that, you were Lone's soldiers. Yi Feng accepted the clay scimitar and gave him a cavalry knife.
After the simple ceremony, the more than 40,000 members of the Nili Army were officially surrendered and surrendered to Yifeng.
For this army of soldiers and horses, Yi Feng did not reorganize and disperse them as promised, and they were still led by Turkic leaders such as Nili, but more than 100,000 Huaihuang troops were stationed next to them, but they had no room for repetition.
"Mourn for the emperor of Daxing!" After the mud fell, Yi Feng immediately announced to the whole army that the emperor had died, and for a while the whole army was all vegetarian, looking at it like frost and snow, Yi Feng let people set up a big banner in the Chinese army, "Raise the army to rebel!" ā
Ni Li only knew at this time that the Central Plains had changed greatly, and the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui was actually killed by his son, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly at the moment, but since he had surrendered, he couldn't think about it anymore at this time.
Yi Feng left some soldiers and horses to guard the cities of Huaihuang Youzhou, and he swore an oath in Huaihuang, and then led 200,000 horses to enter the pass and march to Wei and Shuo.
At the foot of Baishan Mountain in Shuozhou, Gao Gong and He Ruobi finally defeated the Dulan Army after seven days and nights of fighting, and Dulan only led the remnants to flee to the north of the Great Wall, and the rest were gone. When Gao Gong was happy, suddenly his son Gao Biaoren came from Beijing, bringing news of the upheaval in Beijing. Hearing the news, the joy of the great victory just now suddenly froze on Gao Gong's face.
"Yang Xiu, how dare you do this!"
"Report!" Another knight hurried to arrive.
"Returning to Xiangguo, the emperor's grandson led 200,000 troops into Ulzhou, and more than 20,000 Turkic soldiers and horses have surrendered to Ulzhou."
"The emperor's soldiers were sharp, at the end of March, he was forced to land in Kuhezhen, and later he landed in Daman and Nili, and now he has entered Ulzhou, recruiting more than 20,000 Turkic soldiers in Ulzhou, and in a short period of time, the emperor has surrendered 130,000 Turkic cavalry." Han Seng Shou exclaimed.
Gao Gong was thinking more than these at this time, but Yi Feng marched south so quickly with 200,000 soldiers and horses, just for the 20,000 remnants of the army in Ulzhou? Yang Xiu killed the monarch and usurped the throne, and the imperial grandson led the army south so quickly, only afraid of Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by.
"Immediately send an order down, the whole army marched hastily, and withdrew to Taiyuan." Gao Gong pondered for a moment and gave the order.
Hearing this order, the two marshals, Han Seng Shou and He Ruobi, were a little puzzled.
"Yang Xiu killed the monarch and usurped the throne, we have to return to Bingzhou immediately to serve the crown prince to crusade against Yang Xiu." Gao Gong explained.
"Aren't we going to inform the grandson of this news, and then wait for them to go back to the state together?" Gao Biaoren asked with some doubts, "Since you want to crusade against Yang Xiu, then the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of His Royal Highness Taisun are a big help." ā
Gao Gong didn't even look at his son, "It's hard to say whether it's a help or a threat now, but with his experience, he has already judged from the information just now that Yang Lin must have known about the upheaval in Beijing earlier than him." After Yang Lin knew the news, he didn't send someone to inform him, but directly led the 200,000 army to the south and rushed straight to him, who could be sure what Yang Lin was planning. Yang Lin's 200,000 soldiers and horses have arrived in Ulzhou, if he rushes to Shuozhou and wants to seize his military power, what if Yang Lin wants to go straight to Bingzhou and control the prince? Gao Gong had to be more careful, this was not the time to fight with Yang Lin, he had to rush back to Taiyuan immediately, and return to Beijing to regain the throne by the crown prince, without a moment's delay.
At that moment, the army in the north of Shuozhou quickly set off to the south, and when Yi Feng entered the north of Shuozhou from Ulzhou, Gao Gong had already entered the Yanmen Pass quickly.
A few days later, when the army arrived at the city of Mayi in the south of Shuozhou, news came from Bingzhou that 250,000 soldiers including Gao Gong and He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou and Hedong officials would support the crown prince Yang Yong in Taiyuan and claim the emperor as the emperor.
The city of Mayi was closed, and the arriving Yifeng army was like a great enemy, and he refused to open the door at all.
Yi Feng ordered the whole army to camp under the city of Mayi, and later, the group of people in the pass came out of the city to the camp.
"Who's coming?" The guard at the camp gate shouted.
"Under the emperor's majesty, the new secretary of the provincial secretary and supervisor, came to read the emperor's will!" Yuan Yan, the former chief chef of the East Palace, was dressed in a purple robe and said.
"Which emperor's envoy is here to pronounce the decree to whom?" The camp gate guards are not very interested in this emperor's envoy, but now that one emperor has just died, three emperors have already appeared. Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was the first to be proclaimed emperor in Daxing, and then Yang Guang, the king of Jin, suddenly left Hedong, ran all the way back to Jianghuai, and seized the power of Yang Jun, the new governor of Yangzhou, the king of Qin.
After Yang Xiu and Yang Guang successively became emperors, the crown prince Yang Yong finally couldn't sit still and proclaimed himself emperor in Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan.
Yang Yong, who had just been proclaimed emperor in Taiyuan, was also panicked when he saw Yi Feng leading an army of 200,000 all the way south and Chen Bing Ma Yi was closed. When Jinyang Palace was proclaimed emperor, Yang Yong also wanted Liyun to be the queen and Yang Yan, the son of Liyun, to be the prince, but this idea was immediately rejected by Gao Gong and others. Yi Feng led an army of 200,000 to the south, and there were even no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Youzhou and Huaihuang, how could he offend Yang Lin at this time. In the end, when Yang Yong heard that Yi Feng had already approached the city of Mayi, he had to obey Gao Gong's Jianyi, and issued an edict to posthumously crown Yang Lin's mother, the late crown princess Yuan, as the queen, and issued an edict to canonize Yang Lin as the crown prince, so that Yuan Yan hurriedly came to the Yanglin military camp in Mayi to announce the edict.
