0819 Returning to the Desk
"Taiyuan Gong Li has an order, Jingzhou arsenal was stolen, you and other soldiers came through the north and south, quickly abandoned their weapons and went out of the city, and our sergeants entered to check the stolen goods! If you resist, you will be punished as a thief!"
Outside the city, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were arrayed at the gap in that section of the city wall, and they did not rush into the city at the first time, but shouted loudly into the city.
The defenders of the city were already nervous when they were attacked at night, and the sudden collapse of the city wall made them even more panicked.
The emotional trouble for a long time was caused by a friendly army, not an enemy attack, but are you Jingzhou troops so arrogant? Even if it's for the purpose of checking the stolen goods, can't you shout in advance to notify you? Suddenly the night came to disturb it, and the city wall collapsed, and it was simply no one in sight!
Although I was indignant in my heart, the previous mood of putting my heart to the side and fighting to the death was gone. Although the Jingzhou army was impolite, it was still a dispute and misunderstanding between their Western Wei armies, so naturally they couldn't fight for their lives, and it would be good to resolve the misunderstanding after verification.
There were not a few people who had such thoughts, and soon some people dropped their staff and walked outside the city along the gap in the collapsed city wall amid the threatening shouts of the Jingzhou army.
At that moment, someone in the city shouted, "Don't listen to their nonsense, don't go out of the city!" Zhuguo Changshan is just in the city, although General Li is there in person, he also needs to pay homage to the ......
Li Tai was dressed in armor and fully armed from the rear troops into the firelight, lifted his armor to let the people in the city see him clearly, and then returned to the troops, and then let people shout: "Jingzhou has its own law, even Changshan Gong must not mess with my law!" After beating the drums and beating the drums three times, there are still those who remain in the city, and there is no mercy!"
The agitated war drums sounded again, and a blow hit the heartstrings of those soldiers in the city like a heavy fist, and at this time everyone in the city no longer dared to leave anything to chance, and more and more people abandoned their weapons and went out of the city with the sound of drums, and then they were led by the Jingzhou soldiers to line up elsewhere to wait for disposal.
When the second drum sounded, Yu Jin's father and son and their important subordinates also appeared in view. Yu Jin's face was pale, and he was tightly surrounded by everyone, and his son Yu Yixing was at the front, and he shouted loudly: "A certain trip is coming by the king's order, and the Duke of Taiyuan must not make a mistake and intimidate the people to refuse the king's order!"
However, no one in the ranks outside the city responded to his shouts, only the sound of drums remained vigorous. They were in a stalemate in the city for a moment, and only when the drum was nearing the end did they wave their hands and signal that they would leave the city in despair.
After the group left the city, they were surrounded by the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who had been waiting for a long time, and dragged and pushed everyone apart. As the highest-ranking Yu Jin, he naturally received the most care, and more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers surrounded him almost with their faces close to each other.
It was not until the drum of the three links was settled, and hundreds of heavily armored soldiers stepped into the city, and after thoroughly investigating the city and making sure that there were no remnants of the army in the city, Li Tai ordered his troops to enter the city and station, and as for the captured Yu Jin and other important personnel, they were naturally escorted into the city.
Next, Li Tai first asked people to repair the defense of the city garrison a little, and then asked the sailors in the Han River channel to dock and station, so that he had time to check the harvest of this raid.
More than 3,000 soldiers were stationed in this garrison with Yu Jin, all of whom surrendered, and there were no serious casualties on either side.
Li Tai is quite satisfied with this, returning to seize power is only the first step of his plan, and the next step is to continue to attack Gangneung, even if he can't use these soldiers brought by Yu Jin to attack the fortification, but if they kill each other, it will be a big blow to morale, and more energy must be allocated to deal with these friendly prisoners.
At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and although the confrontation was not long, the movement and battle caused were not small. Presumably, the rest of the people in the Zhulu Pass scattered on the left are also somewhat aware of it, but if there is any actual reinforcement action, it must be carried out after dawn.
So he asked the general to be summoned, and he stood under the front porch of the hall, waiting for his soldiers to come here. At this time, Yu Jin's saber seal and all the things have been confiscated, and his arms are still tied behind his back.
Seeing this, Li Tai stepped forward and personally untied Yu Jin, and then
He walked to the front of the person and arched his hand: "Chang Shan Gong, it's rude, and this matter has to be done as a last resort, and it is difficult to take care of it. Please forgive me if there is any offense."
Yu Jin was countered by this, and his mood was extremely bad, and after hearing the words, he just said in a blunt tone: "Today, everyone knows it. Taiyuan public skills are admirable. The old man is incompetent, and since he is controlled by others, he is innocent of death."
When Li Tai heard this, he smiled slightly, took Yu Jin's arm and pulled him into the hall, and said, "Chang Shangong's life and death are trivial matters, but how can the tens of thousands of soldiers who came with him from the south be innocent? Now that the public has been ordered to come, he should naturally have the worry of success or failure in his heart, and now that he has failed to do anything, he should also help each other to deal with the aftermath, so as to be the important minister of the country and the humerus of the overlord."
Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh at himself after hearing this, although he was *** when he heard this, he still had to help Li Boshan clean up the mess?
"Taiyuan Gong praises falsely, and I am really ashamed. The public is playing a triumphant song, and a prisoner under the stairs is sentenced. If the public is far-sighted and calmly wins, why ask the question to be blind?"
Yu Jin's tone was still stiff, but after all, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked a question that made him entangled: "There is a certain confusion in my heart, and I implore the Duke of Taiyuan to give me advice. There are many fortifications near the left side of the stone city, why is the public sure that I will settle here? If I choose another city, it will be difficult for the public to attract people. Such an internal and external confrontation, Shicheng is already one step away from Jiangling, you and I cannibalize each other and the Liang people sit on the benefits of the fisherman, this is really not the strategy of the wise! Or, Taiyuan Gong and Liang Guo have a bad agreement?"
Yu Jin was ruthless and confused, if other circumstances were still foreshadowed or he was not worried, then the sudden collapse of the city wall was really incomprehensible and unacceptable to him.
Even if he didn't expect Li Tai to ambush him between the borders of the two countries, with this city to defend, he would have no problem holding on until dawn. When the armies gather here, it is still unknown how the victory will be!
After Li Tai heard this, he smiled again: "Lord Liang is mediocre, jealous and jealous, and even his generals can't tolerate and trust, how can he conspire with me, the border general of the enemy country? What's more, although I am not talented, but I am not faint, how can I give up this and become a country of dying!
As for the collapse of the city wall, Chang Shan Gong doesn't have to think too deeply, this is not a clever strategy, all the cities near the stone city have such an arrangement, as long as Chang Shan Gong stops here, no matter which city he settles, he will inevitably end up like this."
"This, this...... How so?"
Yu Jin also sighed to himself, maybe it was because of his bad luck and he happened to choose a city garrison that was manipulated by Li Boshan to settle in, so he ended up here, but he didn't expect the answer to be like this, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
But soon he frowned again and said, "The location of Shicheng is already the gate of the country, and the Taiyuan public office is plotting to trap me, isn't it worried about Liang Junkouzhi?" It is difficult for these ruined cities to be defended, if I don't come and thieves come, is Taiyuan Gong stupid or wise?"
"I am reused, sitting in the southeast, a few things, shallow name, in recent years, I do not attack people, people are happy, and those who dare to come to the offense have been extinct for a long time. If I hadn't avoided myself, how would Chang Shan and the others be here?"
When Li Tai heard this, he sneered again, luring the Guanzhong army to the south was a very important part of his plan, or the main body of his plan.
A Guanzhong has been run by the Bafu led by Yuwentai for many years, even if Yuwentai is dead, it is extremely difficult for him to shake the majesty of the Bafu in Guanzhong with his current momentum, and only by luring the main force of the Bafu out of Guanzhong can he have a chance to win.
Second, with the envoys sending 60,000 troops south out of Wuguan, although Guanzhong still has a large number of troops, but it needs to stay in the place and maintain the river defense, it is difficult to raise considerable mobile forces to continue to increase troops to the south.
In other words, no matter how Li Tai tosses in the north now, Yuwentai in Guanzhong can only do his part, and he no longer has enough strength to interfere with it, unless he doesn't even want the nest in Guanzhong.
Li Tai dared to introduce the government soldiers into the lair, because there was something that could make the powerful government soldiers and generals in the customs throw a rat bogey. But if the Northern Qi enters the Guanzhong, it will be like a mouse falling into a rice bowl, even if you can't eat it, it will give you a lot of effort.
The army of the three government soldiers entered Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was in a state of ownerlessness
It will inevitably bring certain impact and disruption to the people's livelihood under Jingzhou's rule. Even if there is some restraint in the vicinity of the city where their wealth and assets are concentrated, it is inevitable that they will be harassed elsewhere, and this is what Li Tai needs.
Because in the next period of time, the people's feelings under the rule of the entire Jingzhou Governor's Office will be in a very tense and sensitive state.
On the one hand, the hostility and even the rupture between the Jingzhou military government and the Chinese and foreign governments will inevitably lead to a state of tension and confrontation between the two sides, which will inevitably have a certain bad impact on the people's livelihood under Jingzhou's rule, and the environment will no longer be as comfortable as before.
Jingzhou has been recuperating for several years, all industries are thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is of course contributed by the efforts of the Jingzhou military government, and at the same time, it is also indispensable for the people in Jingzhou to be diligent in their livelihood.
However, once this situation no longer exists, the people will inevitably be instigated by people with ulterior motives, and will think that it is all because of Li Tai's own ambition and brazen confrontation with the Chinese and foreign governments, that Jingzhou's good days have come to an end. This will bury a hidden personnel danger for Jingzhou, and many separatist forces have been defeated because of such factors.
At the same time, with the capture of Jiangling, many Southern Liang people would also flow into the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion to live under it. These people will inevitably have a feeling of nostalgia for the homeland hidden in their hearts, even if they live not well under the rule of the homeland, but there is always a sweetness in the nine bitterness that makes people never forget, once the life under the rule of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is unsatisfactory, this frustration will be magnified and transformed into anger, so as to continue to cause chaos.
It is very difficult to eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers in the people's feelings in a short period of time, and once the high-intensity confrontation turns into an actual military conflict, the people's dissatisfaction will be magnified, making Jingzhou's administration even more uneasy.
Therefore, Li Tai simply took the initiative to go to Huainan and induce the overlord to send troops, so that the people under Jingzhou's rule could feel what it was like to live in Jingzhou that was not under his control, and use facts to let these people understand that General Li did not choose to embark on this road not only for his own ambitions, but also to defend their current lives and everything they have.
At this point, General Li's demands and interests are highly consistent with those of the people under the Jingzhou Governor's Office, and only General Li is their best and most suitable choice!
Yu Jin didn't know that in Li Tai's eyes, he was the captain of the troop transport brigade, the Liwei tool man and the united front helper, but when he heard Li Tai's confident and slightly arrogant answer, he couldn't help but fall silent.
Li Tai looked at Yu Jin, who was silent, and said, "I know that in the eyes of Chang Shan Gong, I am probably already a minister of rebellion in the country and a giant girl in the society. But when the public waited for the invasion and seizure of our state, I was still opening up the territory for the country and promoting Huainan, and even on the way back, I first conquered the Yingzhou of the Liang State and blocked the Jiangdao before I came to Shicheng to take care of the rest.
Now my boat is riding majestic, and Jiangling has become a turtle in an urn, just waiting to die. Even if Chang Shangong doesn't want to be kind to me, he still encourages all walks of life to fight with me. Only tens of thousands of Guanzhong sons and daughters will be buried between Jingxiang for a long time from now on, and the Guanxi fathers and elders may hate me to the bone, but it is difficult to retaliate. And if Chang Shan Gong provokes an incident first, and then loses the incident, he will be killed!"
The reason why Li Tai chose to return along the river on the way back was to gather with Xiakou and other people to besiege Yingzhou City on the south bank, and all kinds of means were used to conquer Yingzhou City in only two days, and capture Yingzhou Assassin Shi Lu Fahe.
When Yang Zhong, who was sent by Yu Jin to blockade Jiangdao, arrived in Lushan, it coincided with Li Taisheng's return to the north. Yang Zhong saw that Li Tai, who was supposed to be trapped in Hefei, actually appeared here, and the Jingzhou army, which was rumored to be going east, still had tens of thousands of people here, so he naturally understood in his heart.
So it didn't take Li Tai's hard work to persuade him, Yang Zhong naturally turned around, after all, he couldn't fight hard, and Li Tai's blockade of Jiangdao was even more thorough than he imagined.
After hearing Li Tai say this, Yu Jin's eyes dimmed a little, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "The Taiyuan public is very premeditated, and the people who come from the south must have your internal response. Even if I don't cooperate, you won't have to kill all the armies and you will be able to recover them calmly. The reason why I have to come forward to cooperate is just to find an excuse for the masses to pass the buck, and I am just guilty of all sides."
When Li Tai heard this, he laughed dryly twice, and he had something to say
It's not interesting to understand it so well, such a big pot, you don't carry it, who can't be crushed to death?
But he still said with a straight face, "Who is not the loyal and brave of the country who is determined to open up the frontier and prosper from the south? Chang Shan Gong has already lost his life, and he has no way out after he endures it? I have no personal enmity with the public, and it is not my intention to hold a grudge now.
I was originally the Grand Xingtai of the Kanto Province authorized by the country, and everything outside the customs was inspected by me. Chang Shan Gong is sick and can't look at things, but the country's heavy plan cannot be abolished, and it is natural for me to return here to continue the matter, and the generals can only accept the order, and I owe a piece of paper to the public."
Hearing that Li Tai had already thought of a plan to clean up the mess, Yu Jin couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his chest, and then thought that he had been controlled by others everywhere since he left Wuguan in the south, and now he was directly captured, and his heart was full of powerlessness and frustration.
After a long while, he said abruptly: "Such a careful personnel layout is by no means hasty, when did Taiyuan Gong have such a plan?"
"Probably on the way to Tongguan after the defeat of Bishan and the retreat to Tongguan."
When Li Tai heard this question, he couldn't help but feel a little vicissitudes in his heart, so he replied casually. That was when he first came to this world, and his mind was full of thinking about how to survive in this troubled world, but he didn't expect that one day he would really be able to achieve the situation he is in today.
"W-yes......"
When Yu Jin heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in a trembling voice: "So when Taiyuan Gongzi Tongguan submitted books to the platform, he already had a follow-up plan?"
Li Tai looked shocked when he saw Yu Jin, and he couldn't help but be stunned, I just sighed about my youth and pretended to be forced casually, you won't really believe it, right? No matter how far-sighted Lao Tzu is, he can't have thought of digging a pit here to bury you so many years ago! Could it be that this old man couldn't stand the blow and made himself depressed and stupid?
In any case, Yu Jin has no other choice at the moment, Li Tai pressed the pot on his head, and he had to top it if he didn't top it. It is necessary to cooperate with Li Tai to take over the people and horses one by one and include them in the dispatch of the Daxingtai of the Kanto Road.
Originally, this Guandong Dao Daxingtai was just a perfunctory arrangement for Li Tai, but it couldn't prevent his people from having the ability to turn it into reality, and when Li Tai began to actually exercise the power of Xingtai, there was not much difference between Kanto Province and Shannan Province. Anyway, those who dare to question it will definitely have to squat with Yu Jin to recuperate soon.
