Chapter 449: Greed Becomes Poverty
Seeing that the Citi Army on Fang Mountain was becoming more and more chaotic, Yang Fuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, this big trouble was finally solved, and it could be regarded as giving an explanation to the Wing King. After staring for a moment, Yang Fuqing shouted in a deep voice to the few generals who followed beside him: "The Citi Army will not be able to support it for long, they will definitely disperse and escape, pass on the order, scatter to pursue and intercept, and be sure to exterminate it!" ”
One of the generals hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if they surrender?" ”
Yang Fuqing closed his eyes and muttered for a moment and said: "Ordinary soldiers and soldiers will not die, and there will be no leaders left!" After receiving the order together, each of them led his soldiers and horses in pursuit.
Yang Fuqing saw that the overall situation had been decided, and got off his horse to rest for a while, but saw a team of soldiers and horses escorting several people to this side.
Yang Fuqing was a little curious about what the King of the West was sending people to do at this time? But if he wanted the king of the west to be as powerful as the sky, it was not good to be too offended, so he let the messenger come close at the moment.
A man wearing a checkpoint robe in the west hall led several entourages to Yang Fuqing, and after saluting together, the checker said loudly: "Zhao Dacheng, the left thirty checkpoint of the West Palace, has seen Yang Guozong, and he has been ordered by the king of the west to order Yang Guozong to collect his troops and return to the camp and fight with the Citi Army!" ”
Yang Fuqing's face changed greatly when he heard this, and the generals and staff behind him were even more emotional, but Yang Fuqing was still extremely restrained, and reluctantly smiled: "What does His Royal Highness the King of the West mean by this?" There are soldiers and horses in my east hall who rebel and make their own rebellion, why does the king of the west want me to wait and fight? ”
Zhao Dacheng ignored the devouring gaze of the generals of the East Palace, and still straightened his body and said loudly: "The West King already knows about the Citi Army, if it weren't for the poor treatment of the Citi Army, it would not have caused today's disaster, although the Citi Army robbed the military rations and killed friendly soldiers first, but not all the Citi Army soldiers have turned into demons, and the West King is willing to mediate." Ordered the Citi Army to surrender, and handed over the mastermind to give an explanation to the Wing King and the East Temple. King Xi also said that if many soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven have died in the Beijing Rebellion today, the blood of the Kingdom of Heaven should no longer be shed for the selfish desires of a few people! ”
These words were said beautifully, some of the East Hall generals behind Yang Fuqing bowed slightly, Yang Fuqing snorted coldly and said: "What a benevolent and righteous King of the West, full of benevolence and morality, since the King of the West is so benevolent and righteous, when the Citi Army is short of food, why didn't the King of the West send charcoal over in the snow?" ”
Zhao Dacheng smiled faintly and said, "King Xi also thought about sending grain and grass over. But will you accept it? Although Guozong is generous, the following generals will inevitably say that the king of the west is suspected of buying people's hearts. Besides, even if the grain and grass of the King of the West are given to the East Palace, how much of them can be distributed to the Citi Army? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the East Hall slowly calmed down, and a few of them were a little ashamed. The Citi Army was forced into this field, and they are also responsible. Yang Fuqing sneered. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm still the same." The matter of the Citigroup Army is the matter of my East Palace, not to the trouble of His Royal Highness the King of the West, this alliance is for the King of Qin's hoe rape, if the King of the West has an order to attack Tianjing, the younger brother is duty-bound, but if it is to interfere in the family affairs of the younger brother. The little brother didn't dare to obey the order! ”
Zhao Dacheng hummed and said: "If Guozong really wants to kill them all, the soldiers of the West Palace will never sit idly by, and the King of the West has also said that if there is any more brotherly infighting." The West Temple will send troops to punish severely! ”
Yang Fuqing finally couldn't bear this breath, and said angrily: "Are you threatening my East Temple?" ”
Zhao Dacheng replied loudly: "There is no such intention, the kingdom of heaven is now stormy, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured this year, and they are not dead at the hands of the demons, but at the hands of their own people, the king of the west only hopes that there will be no more internal strife in the kingdom of heaven in the future, so even if it is really threatened by force, he will not hesitate to send troops!" After that, Zhao Dacheng looked at the staff of the generals in the East Hall and said loudly: "Think about it, when those unarmed soldiers in the Jingdong Hall were slaughtered by the Northern Traitor Army that day, they must have hoped that the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Kingdom would come to rescue them, but in the end, they shed the last drop of blood and no one came." We don't want to send troops to threaten that one day when we are in the same desperate situation as the soldiers of the East Temple, no one will pay attention to it! Therefore, I will definitely follow the West King to pacify the chaos in the Heavenly Kingdom! ”
After that, Zhao Dacheng hugged his fists and saluted, hurriedly got on his mount, and then said loudly on the horse: "Don't forget that we are here to quell the Tianjing Rebellion, not to kill each other. After speaking, Zhao Dacheng took a few horsemen and his entourage to go away.
Yang Fuqing was furious, a small inspection point in the West Hall dared to make a big statement in front of him, the horse whip in his hand was slammed a few times, and he shouted angrily: "Don't worry about the West Palace!" Keep on the pursuit! ”
Chen Zhaoping, a staff member behind Yang Fuqing, hurriedly said: "Guozong thinks twice, there are soldiers and horses stationed in Jurong in the West Palace, and the Xiaoling Wei camp is also very close to Chunhua, if I blindly pursue, I am afraid that I will be calculated by the West Palace!" ”
Yang Fuqing gradually calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Does the King of the West really dare to do something to us with a sword and a gun?" ”
Chen Zhaoping asked rhetorically: "With the excuse of sending troops to block the infighting, why don't the soldiers of the West Palace dare to do it?" ”
Yang Fuqing looked at the surrounding soldiers and horses and said with a smile: "Is he a paper paste when I have an army of 500,000?" ”
Chen Zhaoping shook his head and whispered: "Guozong, say something you don't like to hear, is your prestige comparable to that of the King of the West?" When there was an east king in the east hall, he was still able to compete with the west hall, but now? Take the matter of the Citigroup Army as an example, my East Hall is not monolithic. But the West Hall is different, the West King built the West Hall Army like an iron bucket, and most of the elite generals and horses in my East Hall are now dead in Tianjing, which is really difficult to compete with the West Palace. And in the vicinity of Tianjing, we originally had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but once the Citi Army left, there were only 70,000 left, and it took a lot of effort to encircle and suppress the Citi Army today, so I am afraid that the Xidian Army will wait for work......"
Chen Zhaoping was about to say more, but Yang Fuqing interrupted him angrily and shouted: "Afraid of this, afraid of that, you just sue me to take refuge in the King of the West!" You're still not my staff? If you don't give me advice, how can you blindly persuade me to join others? How can it be better to be a slave than to be a king at ease? I'm really going to be in a hurry, I'll lead the troops back to Jiangxi now! ”
Chen Zhaoping was in a hurry, and persuaded him: "Guozong, the words are contrary to the ear, although the words are not good, but the shape is not as good as the people, we must not go back to Jiangxi, the king of the west convenes the army of the king of Qin in the name of righteousness, if we leave, we will lose the opportunity in the righteousness, once the king of the west enters Tianjing and gains power, the first thing to deal with is our Jiangxi!" It's not a bad thing to take refuge in the King of the West now, and only now that you take refuge in the King of the West can you have a chance to keep the power and soldiers in your hands. ”
Yang Fuqing snorted and said, "What is this called?" If I had taken refuge in the King of the West, would he not have weakened my power and taken my military power? ”
Chen Zhaoping continued to analyze: "The King of the West is reluctant to send troops to attack Tianjing, that is, the King of Qin's army and the King of Wings and you, if the King of the West does not subdue the two families, even if he enters Tianjing, it will take more effort to gain power." If we take refuge in the West King now, the West King's attention will turn to the Winged King, and he will not be too mean to us if he wants to subdue the Winged King next. At present, we still have the capital to negotiate conditions with the King of the West, and we can take refuge in the King of the West in exchange for the promise of Yongzhen Jiangxi of the Emperor of the Kingdom, and I think the King of the West will definitely agree to our conditions. ”
Yang Fuqing shook his head after pondering for a while: "It's still not possible, we have fought against the West Palace before, and the King of the West may not treat us preferentially, besides, I have a province of Jiangxi in my hands, an army of 500,000, and I will be subordinated to others in just a few words, and I will not be reconciled, and besides, if I join forces with the King of Wings, the King of the West may not dare to touch us!" ”
Chen Zhaoping paused and said: "Guozong, be careful that greed becomes poor, and the threat sent by the West King Shicai is the last chance, let go of this opportunity, our East Hall will not have a chance to make a comeback." ”
Yang Fuqing was still obsessed, and he made a decision that he regretted very much in the future: "Needless to say, the front soldiers and horses will continue to pursue, and the rear army will follow me back to Chunhua to hold on, and at the same time send a messenger to inform the Wing King, I want to join forces with the Wing King, I don't believe that Xiao Chaogui can still swallow our two soldiers and horses in one go!" ”
At present, Yang Fuqing's division was divided into two, with more than 20,000 people in the front pursuing the Citi Army that was scattered and breaking through, and 30,000 horses from the rear army and the Chinese army rushed back, intending to join the 20,000 Dongdian troops who stayed in Chunhua.
Yang Fuqing's return to the army was not slow, but when he passed through Hushu Town, he found that there were already soldiers and horses stationed in the West Hall in Hushu Town, Yang Fuqing sent someone to investigate, and the report that the King of the West wanted the East Palace Army to stop fighting, otherwise it would be exterminated on the spot!
Yang Fuqing was furious, and sent a team of soldiers to immediately step forward to test, the Xidian army in the town did not hesitate, a Western artillery attack will come, and the Dongdian army retreated after more than 100 people were killed and wounded.
Yang Fuqing was very embarrassed, if he made a move on the West Palace, there would be no room for turnaround, and after the two soldiers met, it would be an endless situation. When Yang Fuqing hesitated, more than 1,000 people fled back from Chunhua Town, and the army commander led by him was covered in blood, and cried out loud after seeing Yang Fuqing: "Guozong, not long after the army left Chunhua this morning, the 30,000 troops in the West Hall surrounded Chunhua, and General Ma and General Chen, who stayed in Chunhua, led the troops to surrender to the West Palace, and they were bought by the high-ranking official Houlu of the West King early in the morning, and now Chunhua and 20,000 troops have returned to the West Palace, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the West Hall have come over here!" ”
Yang Fuqing's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost fainted, but he finally settled down and shouted: "Ma Lin and Chen Jiang, two dog thieves, I treat them so well, they even dare to betray me!" ”
The generals behind him were silent, in fact, the east hall had already buried the hidden danger of falling apart when Yang Xiuqing returned to heaven, Yang Fuqing was not as good as Yang Xiuqing in terms of prestige and talent, he was able to lead the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi before, and more relied on Yang Xiuqing's prestige, as soon as Yang Xiuqing died, the generals in the east hall in Jiangxi all had their own plans except for a few Yang Fuqing's henchmen.
As early as after Yang Xiuqing's death, the claws of the West Hall had already stretched out to Jiangxi, divided and collapsed, and all kinds of means were promised to be high-ranking officials. In addition to the king of the east, the kingdom of heaven is the most powerful king of the west, and after the king of the west played the banner of avenging the king of the east again, many generals in the east hall actually began to change in their hearts, and the subsequent digging of the corners of the wall is no longer a difficult matter. It's ridiculous that Yang Fuqing still thinks that he can have the power to resist, but in the end, it may really be as Chen Zhaoping said, greedy words become poor. (To be continued......)
