Section 387

The previous plan really took all aspects into account. The attack on Anzhou by millions of Yue people www.biquge.info Pen, Fun and Pavilion sounds terrifying, but it is also the key to Yang Tianhong's sweep of the Yue Kingdom in the south. People will go hungry if they don't eat for a day, and if the supply of food and rice is cut off for millions of troops, it will definitely be a terrible disaster for any commander to feel his scalp tingle. The reason why the southbound legion made a long detour back behind the Vietnamese army was to cut off the grain route of the Vietnamese army. As long as the rice and grain are exhausted, the million-strong army will naturally not be in chaos. When the time comes, the long-distance march to attack Anzhou will become a nightmare for the Yue people. At such a long distance, there were no reinforcements in the territory of the Yue country, and millions of Vietnamese people were either killed in battle or starved to death. As long as the southbound legion firmly held the Vietnamese passes captured along the way, it would be enough to trap millions of Vietnamese people here.

Cao Hui's thinking is different from Yang Tianhong's. The reason why the troops should be reorganized is that they must plan out the main battle units and auxiliary troops, and the auxiliary troops are divided into tuntian soldiers and baggage troops. Now, if all the reserve troops in Anju are transferred south, it will be tantamount to saying that the plan to reorganize the army has failed, and it may affect the upcoming spring ploughing.

After all, Cao Hui is the assassin of Anzhou, and he is also an official in charge of civil affairs. Cao Hui showed appropriate concern about the fact that the auxiliary troops who were supposed to go to reclaim fields and build roads and bridges would be transferred south, and he had already made a plan to start the comprehensive construction of Anzhou as soon as the auxiliary troops arrived, and fortunately to achieve the initial construction target in the autumn of the following year. But if the auxiliaries are not in place, then everything is empty talk.

After all, this is an auxiliary unit that Yang Tianhong selected and formed from among the displaced people with great effort, and according to the name of the other world, it is called the engineering unit.

Cao Hui expressed his worries about civil affairs, and Yang Tianhong had to think carefully after hearing it, and Yang Tong fell silent.

Anju is not what it used to be. Their hostile forces are not as simple as the Yue people. In addition to the pressure from the Yue State in the south, Chu also had an unclear attitude towards Anzhou. Emperor Shunming has not made any moves against Yang Tianhong's abduction of his daughter Xiaohe so far. Of course, that kind of thing is actually not a big deal in Yang Tianhong's opinion. After all, there was already a marriage contract between himself and the princess, but he was worried that his wife would come over too late to get married, so he cut it first and then played it in Anzhou. However, Yang Tianhong did a good job in terms of etiquette, and the capital also offered an extremely rich super luxury dowry. Even the most scathing people can't find trouble in this regard.

What's more, Xiaohe came to Anzhou by herself. At most, Yang Tianhong arranged a few monk masters around her. For a young girl who is carried away by love, even if it is Emperor Shunming, who is a father, what is there to say?

The troubles faced by Anzhou, as well as the Wei State, which is also the target that Yang Tianhong must conquer in the next few years, and the Qi State is also coveted for the wealth of Anzhou, and is always brewing to want to move and send troops south.

Internal affairs are fundamental to ensuring security and expanding outward, and the amount of grain that can be obtained during the autumn harvest each year is related to how much army can be raised, and whether there is enough food to ensure the supply of military rations after the outbreak of war. At the same time, it is imperative to build roads. Smooth roads are the lifeblood of Anju and an indispensable part of developing and consolidating people's livelihoods everywhere. Therefore, the planned construction, which is a matter of survival and expansion, cannot be interrupted.

Cao Hui didn't just ask questions. He faced Yang Tianhong, who was frowning, and said, "Grandpa, things are not as troublesome as imagined. Although we have a lot of policies to benefit the people, there is still a lot of idle labor in Anzhou. Grandpa has been controlling the number of troops, and has not expanded the Xuanhuo Army on a large scale, plus the fleets of the Gao family and the Dongfang family have been continuously transporting the victims from the north, and the young people everywhere are now in a situation where they are full of energy and have nowhere to vent. ”

Yang Tianhong reacted first, he was disturbed by the whole change and the various cruel actions of the Yue people, so he walked into a dead end of thinking.

Yang Tong also came back to his senses, nodded again and again: "Yes, we can hire civilian labor to complete the current construction, and we don't completely restrict the auxiliary soldiers who need to be registered to complete it." Of course, some of the auxiliaries still have to be left, and the technical engineering issues also need to be guided by relevant personnel. In general, it would be good to decentralize all kinds of related projects to the private sector. ”

Cao Hui smiled and nodded in agreement. As long as the pace of construction in Anzhou does not slow down, no matter what decision Yang Tianhong makes, he actually has no objections.

Yang Tianhong looked around and made the final conclusion of the meeting in a firm and serious tone: "The Marine Corps will speed up its armament now, and all reserve units in the entire territory of Anzhou will begin to be equipped. At the latest, a month later, it is necessary to start moving south to reinforce Yuan County. ”

......

The capital of Chu.

In the early dynasties, civil and military officials all stood in their respective positions in the palace. With the voice of the chief attendant Dongfangkong, Emperor Shunming also slowly walked out of the backyard and sat on the dragon chair.

Dai Gongcheng, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, walked out of the queue early, saluted Emperor Shunming, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yang Tianhong, the envoy of Anzhou Jiedu, led his troops to attack the Yue Kingdom, and started the war without the will of the imperial court. This is a transgression, a great rebellion. ”

Dai Gongcheng has long looked at Yang Tianhong unpleasantly. Previously, Princess Wenyuan left the capital for Anzhou, and the whole thing spread in the capital. Yang Tianhong sent people to the palace at the same time as the wedding in Anzhou, and sent an extremely generous amount of bride price to the palace, which made people have a new understanding of the wealth of Anzhou and the power of Yang Tianhong. However, Dai Gongcheng is clearly not included among these people.

There are various factions in the court, and there have always been contradictions. However, in dealing with Yang Tianhong, the ministers who have always been attacking each other have a rare unanimity. After all, Yang Tianhong was a newly rising courtier, and he had a heavy army and great power. At this time, seeing Yang Tianhong as an outsider making trouble, of course, the courtiers would only temporarily put aside each other's grievances and join forces to deal with him, a foreign enemy.

Mei Shengsheng, the servant of the ministry, coughed lightly and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Yuan Songtao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Zou Tengyu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

There were so many that dozens of court officials came out to second. Looking at it, the ministers present who seconded the proposal were at least above the grade of three grades. Obviously, they had already discussed in private, and now they were just making a formality in front of Emperor Shunming. At this time, officials such as the imperial historian pretend not to see it, and it is not appropriate to jump out at such a time to show their attitude.

Attacking one person and attacking a group of people are two completely different concepts.

Emperor Shunming looked at the ministers who bowed down the steps, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.

Dai Gongcheng is a cunning guy. He only explained in the recital that Yang Tianhong was extremely evil, but he did not ask himself to punish Yang Tianhong substantively. Speaking of which, Dai Gongcheng is also scheming. He knew very well that Yang Tianhong was now the most powerful duke in the Chu State, that is, the princes who were equivalent to the secession of one side. To offend such a person is tantamount to living impatiently. It's better to throw all the problems and troubles to Emperor Shunming, and it is best for him to solve them. In this way, even if Yang Tianhong may be in power in the future, Dai Gongcheng can still speak eloquently, saying that he was just telling the truth that day, but he did not mean to punish him Yang Tianhong.

In short, it is a sentence, the wicked person will be the emperor, and the good person will naturally be the one I will do. What's more, Princess Wenyuan secretly fled to Anzhou, this kind of thing is a royal scandal. You Shun Ming, the father of Emperor Shunming, didn't come forward to deal with it, why do you want me to be a minister to stand up and speak?

Royal dignity......

Thinking of this, Emperor Shunming couldn't help but have a headache.

In all fairness, he is actually very satisfied with Yang Tianhong's son-in-law, and he attaches great importance to it. Previously, handing over the Xuanhuo Army to Yang Tianhong was the idea of relying on Yang Tianhong to deal with the courtiers. But who would have thought that Yang Tianhong would refuse to obey the order to return to Beijing. Emperor Shunming was very annoyed by this, but he was helpless. After all, the current Yang Tianhong is no longer the young doll who knelt in front of him and begged to be cut. The wealth of Anzhou, as well as the strong combat effectiveness of the Xuanhuo Army, are all clearly written in the fold presented by the head of the internal service, Dongfang Kong. The meaning that Yang Tianhong wants to express is also very clear -- if Emperor Shunming is concerned about family affection, and still regards Xiaohe as a daughter and himself as a concubine, then the world of the Great Chu State will naturally have Yang Tianhong bothering to maintain it. But if Emperor Shunming insisted on going his own way and wanted to take the power into his hands, then Yang Tianhong would naturally not be able to obey honestly. After all, the affairs of the Qingyuan Hou Ding family and the Changhu Hou Cui family are in front of them. Yang Tianhong also made great contributions to the society of Chu State. If it weren't for him and the Xuanhuo Army, I'm afraid that last year's Rong Di went south would bring even more trouble to the Chu State. Perhaps, Rong Di Bingfeng will also directly threaten the security of the capital.

Emperor Shunming made up his mind that he would not go to the fire for the sake of these courtiers. In any case, the relationship between Yang Tianhong and Emperor Shunming is not as bad as outsiders imagined. Emperor Shunming knew very well that Yang Tianhong was not a ruthless and unrighteous person, at most, there were differences in the division of power. Speaking of which, the responsibility is also on one's side. However, after all, the world is his own world, and no matter how great Yang Tianhong's credit is, he is just a courtier. Even if he marries my daughter, he still has to obey my orders.

That's the contradiction. Of course, it belongs to the kind of contradictions that can be reconciled.

Li Shengjie, the head of the household department, was not listed. He stood in his place, silently observing the atmosphere in the Great Hall.

Obviously, Emperor Shunming did not act in the direction he expected. This made Li Shengjie very disappointed.

In his opinion, so many courtiers playing together should be able to control Emperor Shunming's intentions. At the very least, Emperor Shunming should comply with the wishes of the courtiers and issue a decree to Anzhou, stripping Yang Tianhong of his position as Duke of Yiyong, or removing him from his position as envoy of Anzhou. Even if Yang Tianhong resisted and did not obey, at least morally, Yang Tianhong would have lost.

Resisting the will and disrespecting it means rebellion. For those who conspire against him, Li Shengjie has too many ways to deal with it. Isn't he, Yang Tianhong, a cultivator? Then you can use a cultivator to deal with him. Of course, Li Shengjie knew that the rules of heaven and earth had some effects on the monks. With this premise, you can save a lot of effort and also reduce unnecessary trouble.

Now it seems that I still miscalculated. Although Emperor Shunming was angry about the last edict ordering Yang Tianhong to enter Beijing, he did not treat Yang Tianhong as a rebel. Princess Wenyuan is unparalleled in beauty, and she also married Yang Tianhong in Anzhou. Yang Tianhong sent the bride price to the palace, Li Shengjie personally saw it. All the value of those things is equivalent to the taxes of the Chu State for several years. Although Li Shengjie is in charge of the household department and is in charge of the world's money, he is still a little tempted to see so many bride prices, and he is also extremely vigilant and jealous of Yang Tianhong's power and wealth.

Nothing came of it at all. Emperor Shunming only asked Dongfang Kong to accept Dai Gongcheng's performance, but did not say anything about it. Then, he retreated silently, and under the surprised gaze of many officials, the figure slowly disappeared behind the tent.

Li Shengjie walked out of the palace and saw Feng Xiangchen waiting on the edge of the lane early, looking forward to greeting him.

"Teacher, how is the matter, and what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this?"

Feng Xiangchen has already bowed to Li Shengjie's door. Regarding the matter of bringing down Yang Tianhong, Feng Xiangchen was actually more enthusiastic than anyone else. Back then, in Guozijian, Feng Xiangchen was always trampled under Yang Tianhong's feet. Princess Wenyuan, Xiao Hefeng, Xiang Chen, had never seen it. However, the ugly woman with a large birthmark on her face in the library back then, Feng Xiangchen was somewhat impressed. The woman he really pays attention to is actually Yang Qiurong. But Yang Qiurong is Yang Tianhong's sister and a monk of the Qingling Sect. Feng Xiangchen felt that if he couldn't get a high position in the court of Chu State, become under one person and above ten thousand, and then remove the dazzling halo on Yang Tianhong's body one by one, I am afraid that he would never be able to get Yang Qiurong's favor.

Yes, women will always like men who are stronger than themselves. If a man is not even as good as a woman, it is impossible for a woman to look at it more.

Li Shengjie looked at Feng Xiangchen, who was full of anticipation, and said lightly: "You can't do anything. Yang Tianhong has not yet lost his holy family. At least, it is not realistic to want to use the name of rebellion. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”

When Feng Xiangchen heard this, the expression on his face became a little lost, and his eyes couldn't help but release a little hatred.

Li Shengjie saw all of his emotional changes. After thinking about it, Li Shengjie smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, you should also experience it." That's it! The official Mei invited me over the day before yesterday, but he has been busy with affairs. You take my post and go to Lord Mei's mansion. ”

Li Shengjie thought very clearly -- the reason why Emperor Shunming ignored Dai Gongcheng's twists and turns was, in the final analysis, because the courtiers did not have enough power to curb Emperor Shunming. In addition, the military power in the capital, as well as the military power in various parts of the Chu state, was not controlled by the civilian officials. Of course, Li Shengjie could not have heard of the phrase "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" in another world, but he understands that military power is important at all times. At the very least, if you don't have any soldiers or horses in your hands, no one will take your threat seriously, and at most you will treat it as a fart.

The festival between Feng Xiangchen and Yang Tianhong, Li Shengjie is not very clear, and he has no heart to understand. However, Feng Xiangchen's extreme hatred of Yang Tianhong is enough.

It's time to promote your own protΓ©gΓ©. At the very least, the important positions in the court must be firmly held by others. Mei Shengsheng also became his ally. Now, if we can grasp the several major patrol battalions of the Beijing Division, and then control the other armies of the Gongwei Beijing Division, I believe that the next court meeting will not be like today's situation.

Feng Xiangchen has indeed caught up with a good time. A young man who has just become a jinshi can enter the core of power, which is something that Li Shengjie couldn't think of when he was young. It is said that the road of life is full of dangers and opportunities, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!

......

A force that can be called a soldier, facing a siege of millions of Vietnamese people, may be afraid, but it will never cause panic.

Yang then sent Yang Lin, Yang Chong, Yang Ci and other generals out of the city to fight, during which there was a tragic incident of common anger between people and gods, the rampaging Xuanhuo soldiers and the Yue people fought a fierce battle, with slight losses between each other, and then the Xuanhuo soldiers who went out of the city to fight calmed down and recovered the position, and then the whole day after that, the two sides fought back and forth between advance and retreat. The Xuanhuo sergeant's own losses were actually not large. On the other hand, the Yue people gathered a large army to attack the city, and in just one day, the Yue people lost about 60,000 soldiers.

Yang Sui didn't want to make a big deal of this kind of battle. Just on the first day, he was forced out of the city to fight, and at the cost of losing thousands of people, he achieved the result of killing 60,000 people, and Yang Sui was not happy about this. In his opinion, his own troops are too small, even if the Yue people are vulnerable, but the number of people is too large, and it is not suitable for field warfare. The best way is to rely on the battle of defending the city in the city of Yuanxian County, on the one hand, the losses will be greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the lethality of the enemy army will be even greater.

As night fell, both sides withdrew.

The chiefs of the Yue people, who had stopped fighting for a while, summed it up very roughly: the structure of the Yue army's army was too chaotic, and it was destined to be difficult to count the correct number of casualties. In the end, the result was that more than 28,000 people were killed on the spot, and more than 20,000 were seriously injured, but it is really impossible to calculate how many people ran away in the battle.

It is human nature to fear death and survive. There are similar examples in another world. It is really not surprising that this kind of thing happened to the Yue people. However, on the first day of the war alone, there were 60,000 men...... In this regard, both the Shuiyue patriarch Ruan Shuizeliang and the Qingyue patriarch Ruan Qingshifang felt incredible, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs. And Ruan Chen Heihu, who had lost about 25,000 directly subordinate clansmen, had a hideous face, and his roar never stopped.

The combat disadvantage of the Yue people against the Chu army was obvious, and no one denied this. It's just that it lost 60,000 people, but it only caused about 1,000 casualties to the Chu army in Yuan County, and not all of these 1,000 people were killed, and a considerable part of the Chu army was robbed back after being injured...... The result of such a battle made the chieftains of the Yigan Yue people really feel a little frightened by this.

After all, the Yue people are not Rong Di, and they are far from evolving to the level of civilization of Rong Di.

In fact, because the Yue people have few metal weapons, all the soldiers of Yang Sui's department are equipped with stainless steel armor produced in Anzhou, and it is easy to hurt people with blunt weapons, but if you want to kill people, you must hit them continuously. In this case, if the Yue people wanted to inflict fatal damage on the Chu army in battle, they could only start from the head. However, in this battle during the day, the Yue people cut off less than 300 heads of the Chu army dead, but on their own side, tens of thousands of people died in battle. How can you not let Soft Water Zeliang and Ruan Qingshi Fang be scared out of a cold sweat?

This is still a clear battle between the two armies. There were no sneak attacks, and no other extras. This is the result of face-to-face battles, so what if the number of Chu soldiers who are engaged in the battle is even larger? All the defenders of Yuan County are killed? What's more, Yuan County is only the outermost stronghold of Anzhou's sphere of influence. It is impossible not to report the battle situation here without reporting to Yang Tianhong, the Duke of Yiyong, who is far away in Anzhou. When the Anzhou side gathers a large army to the south, when the time comes, I am afraid that only the ghost knows what the battle will look like.

For a few seconds, Ruan Shuize Liang and Ruan Qingshi couldn't help but have the idea of withdrawing their troops. In the past, the Yue people did not fight with the Han army. For thousands of years, there have been many wars between the Yue people and other vassal states, but no matter who the opponent is, the proportion of war losses between the two sides has never reached such an exaggerated level.
