0556 Disaster Steps

Li Tai didn't care about what Cai Dabao said. The most important thing for him at the moment is that Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, can take this first step, even if the results achieved at the beginning are not as expected, and then continue to work hard.

After reaching a consensus between each other, the next step is to make a concrete battle plan. For King Yueyang, it is not only necessary to ensure that the plan can be successful, but also to ensure that the truth is covered up as much as possible, so that no one can use it to attack him.

Li Tai has no objection to this, there is no chaos in Nanliang at the moment, and order still exists, so he also needs Xiao Jing to maintain his current position of power in order to protect and develop his plan. If Xiao Jing is exposed and removed from his position as the assassin of Yongzhou, it will also be a big setback to his plan.

Xiangyang's plan was to transport supplies up the Han River under the pretext of the army, and Li Tai's Jingzhou tribe crossed the Han River all the way south, captured the two counties with lightning speed, and slaughtered all the important members of the Jingzhao Du clan.

In order to ensure that the operation was not leaked, the soldiers and civilians of the two counties could be forcibly relocated to the north by Li Tai's men. Although the two counties are all overseas Chinese, there should be as many as two or three thousand military and civilian households combined, which is a considerable number of human resources.

Li Tai conceived that the key to this timing was to lead King Yueyang to the Tao, but he didn't expect to directly obtain any benefits in the action, anyway, when Nanliang was completely in chaos, all this had to be his, but he did not exclude the direct interests of the moment.

Since the other party proposed such a distribution method, he also agreed. How can such a big action ensure that there is no leakage, and the so-called secrecy is nothing more than death without proof. Those people can no longer stay on the south bank of the Han River, and it is not a bad outcome to go to the north to do the farming of Juntianhu and grow crops.

It's just that Li Tai felt that it was necessary to revise the action ideas proposed by Xiao Jing, and he didn't plan to let his troops cross the Han River in advance. One is to avoid the other party's carelessness and being affected by pig teammates, and the other is that the appearance of the Jingzhou people and horses is different from that of the Liang army, and once they are active in the realm of Hannan for a long time, it will also increase the risk of exposure.

Therefore, he proposed a new plan, that is, his troops gathered on the north bank of the Han River, and Xiao Jing's troops alone defrauded the Xinxing county town, and then connected the people and horses of Jingzhou by boat, relying on the strong cavalry advantage to lock the periphery of the realm, eliminating the possibility of the enemy breaking through, and calmly encircling and annihilating the realm.

Cai Dabao did not have the authority to directly agree to Li Tai's suggestion to adjust the action plan, and he still needed to return to ask King Yueyang.

However, now that the New Year is approaching, in order to avoid the bargaining of going back and forth, Li Tai directly ordered Linghu Yanbao and other generals to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to set off first, with Liu Fanggui and hundreds of his headquarters as guides to accompany the army.

If the king of Yueyang agrees to this plan, he can directly send boats and ships to pick up the people of Jingzhou to cross the Yangtze River in Xinxing County. If there is a loss of contact, then Linghu Yanbao and the others will return to Jingzhou directly along the Han River, and there will be no loss.

This operation was not a big battle, and it did not require Li Tai to personally lead his troops there. Now that his power is getting stronger and stronger, he also needs to cultivate the ability of the generals under his command to take charge of themselves, and he doesn't need to do everything himself.

And the current Jingzhou also needs him to sit in person, Cui Qian and other state officials Zuo formulated the performance appraisal method has been gradually spread among the counties, Li Tai not only needs to eliminate the incompetent county magistrates but also to choose a suitable replacement, but also to guard against the surging of public sentiment in the state, and it is not suitable to leave Jingzhou for a long time at present.

Cai Dabao returned to Xiangyang again to inform the king of Yueyang of Li Tai's adjustments to the plan, and to convey the news that the men and horses of Jingzhou had set off.

After listening to this, King Yueyang couldn't help but sigh: "Li Boshan sat down and acted on his words, and he was really young and brave. If I am a co-conspirator, how can I fall behind the young disciples? It is also the duty of the people to go down to the city first to win the trust of the people, and quickly arrange for the personnel to go west!"

Once the decision was made, King Yueyang's action was also not low, and at the same time as sending Cai Dabao to Jingzhou, he was already transferring his descendants away from Xiangyang in batches, so as not to surprise the sudden dispatch of the team.

In recent days, he has also given preferential treatment to the newly appointed state capital Sima Du'an, and has hosted banquets in the palace several times, and has given up his old suspicions and eagerly repaired the relationship with each other because of the prestige of the king of Xiangdong

attitude.

So this time, he took advantage of the approaching end of the year and the detachment to transport money and goods to reward the defenders of the surrounding cities, which naturally included the two counties occupied by the Du clan, which was not abrupt in the eyes of everyone. After all, when the Western Wei Dynasty came to Kou before, the king of Yueyang gathered the money, grain, men and horses in Xiangyang, and the danger of the army was lifted and the festival was approaching, so he should also share it with the crowd.

In order to paralyze the Du clan even more, King Yueyang even handed over the matter to Du An, the state capital, Sima for specific execution. Du An was naturally not polite to get this convenience, and the number of reward materials arranged for his own power territory was the largest, and the transportation team required was naturally even larger.

Du An was still able to live a fat year thanks to his position, but he did not know that this large transport team was intercepted shortly after leaving the city, and all kinds of goods were sent into the coastal warehouses, replaced by fine bows and crossbows, and a transport team that was more than doubled.

Although Yongzhou suffered a military disaster this year, the enemy army stopped at Fancheng north of the Han River and did not disturb Xiangyang on the south bank. Although the military and civilians of Fancheng went north this year to add a lot of sorrow to the people, as the New Year approached, the joyful atmosphere of celebrating the festival finally occupied the mainstream.

As a result, the city was full of people buying goods, and ordinary people tried their best to put on bright new robes.

There is no shortage of village sages and elders who call on the people in the township to blow and blow into the city, and thank King Yueyang for his good governance of the place in front of the state capital, so as to protect the people from the disaster and live a happy New Year.

The villagers knew what to do, and King Yueyang was naturally very pleased, so he ordered the government officials to take out several large baskets of iron money and throw them to the long street in front of the mansion to give rewards.

Although the iron money is light and thin, it is quite painful to be smashed down by the head, but at this time, the masses obviously don't care about this, and they laugh and pick up the money while cheering and thanking. The crowd in front of the state capital is also gathering more and more, and there is a cheerful picture of rejoicing with the people.

Although the city of Xiangyang is bustling and lively, it is inevitably too noisy and crowded, and it is not a first-class livable environment.

Ordinary people could not resist all kinds of dangers outside the city and had to live in the city, but for some powerful clans with tribal arms, after all, they still occupied a piece of landscape outside the city to cultivate gardens and manage their business.

In the past, the people of these wealthy clans were scattered all over the country, either for officials or in government, and it was inevitable that they would gather less and leave more. But when it comes to the New Year's Festival, the clansmen try their best to return to the village to worship their ancestors and visit their relatives.

Therefore, as early as a few days ago, many subordinate officials of the state capital frequently took leave, and less than half of them could still work normally. King Yueyang was deeply loved by the people this year, and his mood was also very good, so he simply announced the blockade of the yatang, stopped working, and let everyone return home to celebrate the festival, and return to the house in the coming year to make new achievements.

There are ten thousand mountains in the west of Xiangyang City, and there are water pools named Wanshan Lake under the mountain, which is also called Shenbei Pond.

It is rumored that the Wei and Jin dynasties Du pre-made the name of the future generations, and there is a sense of the vicissitudes of the world, the stele of the year when sitting in Xiangyang records its Ping Wu merits, a stele stands on the top of the mountain, a stele sinks under the pond water, in order to ensure that even if the high bank is the valley, the deep valley is the mausoleum, the descendants can see the inscription and know its merits.

On the side of this Wanshan Pond, there is a garden villa building, that is, the place where the Jingzhao Du clan lives, specifically the former Liangzhou Thorn Shi Du Huaibao, a member of the Du clan, admires the deeds of his ancestors, so the clan lives on the side of Wanshan Pond.

As the New Year approaches, the Du clan has also returned to their ancestral homes one after another. Although Du Huaibao passed away, all the nine sons under his door are heroic and strong, and they have sons, which can be described as a strong family with a thriving family.

On this day, the Du family manor ushered in a distinguished guest, that is, Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, the lord of the state.

King Yueyang only followed a few dozen relatives on this trip, but there were a few carts full of goods in his companions. The Du family came out to greet them, and they couldn't help but be a little suspicious when they watched this battle. King Yueyang smiled and ordered the government staff to unload the goods on the car, which was a gift for the Du clan, both men and women, and no one pulled.

Although the gift is not precious, it is nothing more than a few volumes of scriptures and a few silk silks, but it was given by the king of Yueyang, the state lord, who personally entered the house, which undoubtedly reflects the importance of the Du family.

Therefore, the people of the Du clan also came forward to receive thanks, and they also admired and thanked the king of this corporal Lixian between words

。 King Yueyang stayed in Du's house until nightfall before getting up to say goodbye, and even though Du Andang wanted to lead the children of the clan to escort King Yueyang back to the city, he was rejected by King Yueyang with a smile, unwilling to disturb their family's happy time.

After the family sent the Yue Yang Wang gift out of the house and returned home, Du Youan, the young son of the Du family, couldn't help but say: "This king is so polite to my family today, and he has lost his usual strong posture, which makes me uneasy."

Du An was the best at vertical and horizontal power among the brothers, and it was also because he personally looked at Jiangling to ask the king of Xiangdong to solve the embarrassing situation that Du faced before, and after hearing this, he smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? Although the king of Yueyang is young and strong, can he gather more people's hearts than the king of Xiangdong?

When I worshiped the king of Xiangdong before, the king told me that there were many people in the court who talked about Yongzhou as the ancestral industry of the country and wanted to move the young king to another place. King Yue Yang thought that he had learned the news from elsewhere, so he was eager to marry my family in order to ask for help. Although Jiangling is strong, there are many people who invite pets, and if King Yueyang can understand the way of humility, my family will not have to deal with him too much."

Not to mention the discussion of the Du family brothers, not long after King Yueyang left the Du Mansion, Daozuo appeared a general who had been in armor and had been waiting here for a long time. He stopped the car, looked back at the direction of Wanshantan, and said in a cold voice, "Although there are still a few people who have not returned, I am afraid that things will change, so I will start tonight. The place where Du Wuku sinks the monument, the place where his ethnic group loses his bones, can also be regarded as a past and after. If you don't pass on your family with kindness, you will inevitably be in trouble!"
