Chapter 64: The Situation
The Yue Emperor Ye Wulan was almost killed after the crash of the Huangfeng, and the sadness that the whereabouts of his daughter, who was regarded as the pearl of his palm, were unknown, may be partly due to this. The Yue Kingdom, which was already in the midst of a war, was in chaos all of a sudden, although Ye Xianchen quickly stabilized the situation after ascending the throne, but the losses on the front line were no longer recoverable in a short time. However, at that time, the front line could still be adjusted, and the front line had almost been firmly held, and it had begun to look for opportunities to counterattack. However, at this time, Liang Xun came out of the mountains of Shifang and threw himself into the Chu army. At first, the news was not known, but less than a month later, when the Chu army attacked Yiyang, several generals of the Liang family defected at a critical moment, and what followed was the bloody storm that arose in Yue from top to bottom with the Liang family. Although Ye Xianchen, the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, made thunderous measures to suppress the dynamics of the center of the imperial court, and also stabilized the turmoil of the military with the fastest degree, the damage was caused after all.
In the Yue Kingdom, the Liang family is not an insignificant family, and it can be known from Liang Xun's ability to serve as Ye Yichen's chief of guard that in some aspects, the Ye family still needs the full assistance of the Liang family if they want to govern the Yue Kingdom well. The defection of such a large family with wide involvement made Yue Guo unable to recover for a long time. If it weren't for the assistance of the Liang family, the Chu army would never have swallowed half of the Yue Kingdom so quickly.
The country of Yue is still martial, it is a country full of blood, and the people are fierce. The vast majority of the common people despised this behavior of the Liang family, but in the enemy-occupied area, they had to make a false accusation, so as not to cause trouble to their own family. However, there are several large and small families who have learned from the Liang family and joined the Chu State. The state of Chu still doesn't care about giving these families rich rewards, after all, their front-line operations are not very favorable, and the mood of the commanders and generals is not very good, but just not looking for trouble with these families may be enough. In these years, the words "war" and "disaster" have always been linked. The Liang family was not without explanation, and at this time, they announced that Princess Qinghe had died in the siege of the Huangfeng, saying that Liang Xun was captured after the battle, and they were afraid that the Ye family would blame him for the princess's death, so they had to take refuge in the Chu State. The news of the death of the Qinghe princess Ye Yichen also began to be "confirmed" at this time, Ye Xianchen also held a ceremony in the palace for this sister who had paid a lot for the country, set up a clothed mound, and insisted that after the end of the Yuechu War, the elite would be sent into the Shifang Mountain to find Ye Yichen's remains.
Listening to this kind of news, Ariel Ye didn't feel anything. It's only natural to be missing for so long, and to be treated as if you're dead. The Liang family took refuge in the Chu State, and this kind of thing is more critical.
The rebellion of the Liang family was due to the effective control of the generals and magistrates in various places, at least in terms of elite troops, the losses were not as drastic as the territory. The Yue State still retains at least seventy percent of the elite troops at the level before the war, and the casualty ratio on the battlefield is now much stronger than that of the Chu State. However, the loss of the teacher and the loss of the land is born after all. The Yue Kingdom was unable to subdue such a vast area in a short period of time, and there was no way to eliminate the control of the local area by those families, including the Liang family, at once, even if the most optimistic estimates were made, the war between Vietnam and Chu would have to last for two or three years.
"Liang Xun?" heard the name again, which made Cheng Bang a little surprised. "I didn't kill him at the beginning, and even helped him, it's a big mistake, it turns out that he is actually such a person. ”
Zhao Tiegong teased: "Hehe, this Liang Xun is terrible now." The left vanguard of the big camp on the east road of Chu State is already the rank of general of Yunlu, and there is even a cavalry army of nearly 5,000 people. Although it is just a light horse, there are few horses in the Chu State, and if he can make up five thousand light horses for him, he is quite valued. ”
Ye Yichen didn't say anything, the things that happened in the Shifang Mountains were actually enough for her to understand what kind of person Liang Xun was. It was not too unexpected for Liang Xun to throw himself into the Chu State, but the damage he brought to the Yue State could not be counted like this.
She didn't know what to say, she just set her sights on Chengbang's side. Cheng Bang nodded, indicating that he understood: "Now is not a good time, but one day, I will make Liang Xun pay the price." ”
Compared with these major events, Zhao Tiegong really didn't encounter any trouble, it was nothing more than that Chu Jun wanted to show others what would happen if he went against them. But Zhao Tiegong and the children in the family all understood that they were just retainers, and they wanted a family, and the main family got a batch of good goods from the mountains, and they had everything. What is lost now is not worth mentioning to them, it is nothing more than the life of the family must be settled, which makes Zhao Tiegong run around and sell something. In fact, with the status of the Zhao family in Anting, his personal appearance already has the meaning of showing weakness and pretending to be pitiful. Zhao Tiegong's reputation in Anting is not ordinarily good, those merchants, wealthy households, and officials remember that he is loyal to the court and brave in doing things, but the people are more concerned about his impatience and righteousness, and helping the poor. Such a good old man is in trouble, and now everyone who can speak in front of any Chu State person is almost saying good things about the Zhao family. The officials in charge of Anting's side of the Chu State are also very embarrassed, and if they insist on going their own way, I am afraid that it will backfire. The Zhao family insisted on relaxing the control on them, and it is estimated that there is no problem. Even if the Zhao family doesn't do anything, with the savings of the past years, it will not be a problem to sit on the mountain for ten or eight years, not to mention, there is a family that can give support from time to time.
"Are you going back to the mountains to hide?" asked Zhao Tiegong.
Since I can't go back to Yue now, if I go home, it will be a plan for Chengbang. When Jiang Mei looked at Cheng Bang, he saw his resolute expression. Cheng Bang said: "No, I can't go back now." mixed up with this unlucky look, and when I go back, I will be beaten by my mother. ”
Ye Yichen sighed: "Does Lingtang have high requirements for you? But now, you have entered the period of excitation, at this age, you can definitely be regarded as a successful cultivator." How to ......"
"My mother doesn't know how to cultivate at all, but she's seen too many masters, and among the people she knows, maybe, the Qi Stimulation Period is just a beginner. Even in the Perfection Stage, and even close to the great masters of the Heavenly Stage, she has seen them...... More than one. When it comes to cultivating with her, she doesn't care at all. But when I went out of the mountain, I was with Uncle Jiang, at least I was free, but now I can only hide my head and show my tail, do you think, is this progress or regression?" Cheng Bang spread out on the chair weakly and said with some complaints.
He knew his mother's character too well. Although she is highly knowledgeable, in some aspects, the old lady is also quite stubborn and speechless. Since he chose to go out of the mountain to practice, he would never dare to go back to see his wife if he didn't make a difference.
Ye Yichen's mood seemed to be washed up a little better by such a statement. She thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Then why don't we ...... Come to Anting?"
Zhao Tiegong shook his head and said, "No, it is said that the front camp of the Chu State will soon move to this side." When the time comes, there will be Chu ** team everywhere here, and Liang Xun and his lieutenant will also be there. They know you, unless you don't go out all the time. In that case, it would be too dangerous. ”
Cheng Bang thought of another question: "If you can't do anything in Anting, then you don't have to." Since we can't go back, then, it's one thing to find a way to send someone back to contact the Ye family's cronies and generals, and on the other hand, we are also a team. Coupled with Uncle Zhao, there are seven good players in the Qi Rush Period, as well as two immortal stone cannons, he can always do something to make the Chu army feel bad. Since we can't go in the direction of Yue Kingdom, it's simple, let's go to the Chu Kingdom!"
Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little frightened, Cheng Bang scratched his head and explained: "Go to the Yue country, it doesn't seem that the distance is very long. But the closer you get to the front line, the stronger the power of the interrogation becomes. There are many of us, and not everyone can fight, so it will become more and more dangerous. Instead, it would be more appropriate to go to the side of Chu State, find a suitable place, and try to find trouble for Chu State while running it. Now, the army of Chu is coming to the front line, and the subsequent investigation should not be too tight, after all, it is not a place close to the national capital. What's more, no one knows that we are alive, so it is not so difficult to change our name or identity. At that time, in the hinterland of Chu State, it may not be possible to say that it will be cloudy and rainy, but it should not be difficult to toss some movement. With the front line fighting like this, it sounds like it will not be easy for the Chu State to continue to expand, and even to maintain its advantage in the battle, so the troops are naturally lacking. At this time, what kind of force has appeared in the hinterland of Chu State, even if it is not very strong, but do you say, will the local officials and troops crusade first? Or will they think that it is better to have more things than less to appease?"
Cheng Bang didn't think about the plan very carefully, it was only a little better than a flash of inspiration in his mind. However, just a little bit is enough to surprise everyone. Ye Yichen pondered for a moment, it is true, they can't stay on Anting's side to advance or retreat, but they might as well be more free to go in the direction of the hinterland of Chu State. It can't be said that the sea and the sky are vast, at least they won't be worried all day long for fear of being suddenly surrounded by the army of Chu. Since you can't go back to Yue and you need to accumulate your own strength, this is indeed a good choice.
Ye Yichen didn't hesitate, and agreed: "This is not bad, then let's do it." ”
Her Royal Highness the Princess's statement made Zhao Tiegong stunned, he looked at Ye Yichen and then at Cheng Bang, as if he had figured out something: This princess and the little master, I'm afraid it's not a little favorable, right? He doesn't feel that there is a problem with his identity at all, he only thinks that if these two people can be together, I'm afraid they will still have to go through some hardships.
