Chapter 206: The family succumbs
Yang Jing has reason to be angry.
I think that at the beginning, at the Tianluo Fa Conference, he discovered such a talented person as Lu Yuan.
So in good faith, he pulled up the plan to join and actively recommended it to the imperial court, which included him as a candidate.
This was originally good, the imperial court could have one more innate grandmaster, and Lu Yuan could also have one more future, and both parties were happy.
But who would have thought that the guy who seemed loyal at the beginning had become a congenital grandmaster, with slightly full-fledged wings, and those who did not want to serve the court would be the first to jump out and become a rebel who sang against the court.
Now Lu Yuan Chen has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, occupying the land south of the Yangtze River in Dongting County, and confronting the imperial court across the river, and his army of the Western Expedition is so frightened that they stop in Xunyang and dare not come over.
Tell me, who is this thing on, and can you be in a better mood?
At this time, Yang Jingyi remembered that in the past two months, he had been repeatedly reprimanded by those princes in the court, asking what was going on?
On the way here, he was angrily reprimanded by Shangguan Ming, how did he pick the top ten grandmasters.
The sentences of accountability, the letters, and the will of the imperial court were almost like knives, constantly scraping and scraping in Yang Jing's heart......
His pride, his self-confidence, and his self-esteem were all scraped away.
So when the imperial court came over and ordered him, the initiator, to solve this matter, he couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw Lu Yuan for the first time here.
But hearing his words, Lu Yuan was stunned, and just said: "I will be ordered by the imperial court to stabilize the rebels in the county." Since he was worshiped by General Zhengnan, in two years, he attacked Sanfu in the south and broke 100,000 thieves. Attack Wuling in the north and subdue Miao Chao.
Since the fourth year of Hongdao, it has been extended to the present, causing disaster to the whole county, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, and sowing chaos for four years, so that it can be quelled in my hands.
Such a great achievement, such a soldier, is naturally majestic. ”
As mentioned above, Lu Yuan was not ashamed of his contribution to the imperial court.
If it weren't for the fact that when he rebelled against the Miao people, he took decisive action, suppressed tens of thousands of Miao people in Shaoyang Mansion, and stabilized Shaoyang Mansion.
Then at the moment when the Five Poisons Sect started up, the five provinces of the north and south could be connected.
At that time, the 200,000 or 300,000 troops of the Miao people will merge, and without the slightest obstruction, they will be able to unscrupulously invade Changsha, Hengyang, and Luyang.
And as soon as these provinces are lost, Dongting County will be equivalent to falling.
At that time, the Miao people will gather in the eight provinces, and there will be a grain-producing area like Changsha and Hengyang, which will be enough to support three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
I'm afraid that in the end, not only will the imperial court not even be able to defend the county government, but even the two counties of Nanhai and Yuzhang will also suffer from the poison of the Miao soldiers.
If the Miao people are really allowed to do this, not to mention that the imperial court is now facing off against the Zhou people across the river, I am afraid that even the rivers and mountains may have overturned.
Therefore, when Lu Yuan raised troops and cut off the Miao people in the north and south in Shaoyang Mansion, so that their hundreds of thousands of troops could not merge, for Dongting County and the imperial court, it was really a great contribution.
And the Qixingmen rebellion in the back, if there is no Lu Yuan, Hengyang and Changsha Mansions, the imperial court is estimated to be unable to keep it.
And without the supply of these two provinces, Bai Mengyang's Pingshu army is afraid that it will be defeated faster.
Behind Shangguan Ming's 100,000 army, he also had to transport grain and grass from hundreds of miles away from Yuzhang County at a great cost.
In Dongting County, there will be another traitor with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and across the three provinces.
At that time, whether the imperial court can still hold the Yangtze River defense line is also a question.
Lu Yuan's quelling of the Qixingmen rebellion was another great achievement to save the country's fortunes.
Speaking of the most recent, it was last year's war that broke the Miao people in the north and south.
At that time, Lan Zhaoyun led 60,000 Miao soldiers, merged with Li Yanjing's 40,000 Zhou soldiers, and confronted Yang Jing and Yueyang Mansion with 100,000 people.
At that time, there were Miao people to help, and the Zhou people were prosperous, even if there were imperial court sailors blocking the Yangtze River, they could still find opportunities to transport some soldiers and horses from Jiangbei from time to time.
If it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that if it weren't for now, the Zhou soldiers in the land south of the Yangtze River would have exceeded 100,000.
It is precisely because of this that Shangguan Mingcai has been urging Lu Yuan to send troops to help him share the pressure and expel the Zhou people.
So later, there was the feat of Lu Yuan sending 200,000 soldiers, Nanping Sanfu, Beiding Wuling, surrendering the Miao people, and marrying the five poisons.
This incident is also Lu Yuan's rescue of the imperial court from overturning.
These three things add up, three times to save the country from danger, you say that Lu Yuan's credit is not big, and his prestige is not big?
Therefore, for the imperial court, Lu Yuan can ask himself, there is no debt.
After all, what the imperial court gave him, except for some secret points that Yang Jing talked about at the Tianluo Fa at the beginning, there was really nothing else.
What, knighthood?
Yes, the imperial court gave him the title of General Fenwu and General Zhengnan.
can go to these officials, which one is not Lu Yuan who made immortal achievements first, and the court gave a reward to the knights.
In other words, it was all his sword and gun, with the blood of the enemy, with countless victories.
And even if the imperial court doesn't give these celebrities, Lu Yuan has soldiers and guns, and he can still get today's achievements.
The only difference is that in that case, the face of the imperial court will be even more ugly than it is now.
So with so much credit, I don't owe much to the court, but the court owes itself.
So now that Lu Yuan doesn't feel enough about the reward given by the imperial court, and wants to ask for more, what is there to be ashamed of?
After all, without him, the imperial court would not be able to keep the current eight counties, I am afraid that even if they still exist, it would be a problem.
With such a great achievement, is it too much to just ask the court for a small Dongting County?
Not excessive.
On the contrary, on the side of the imperial court, in the face of such a great hero, in the face of a prince with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, only half of the county was rewarded, is this a dispatch called Huazi?
Yang Jing was dissatisfied in his heart, and Lu Yuan was even more dissatisfied in his heart!
Therefore, after replying to the above, seeing that Yang Jing seemed to have the intention of saying it again, he suddenly said: "General Yang's court, did you come here to quarrel with me this time?"
If so, the general will be busy with official business, and he will not entertain him. The general, please go back and return to the court.
If not, then rein in your temperament.
This is Dongting County, not Linhai County, not Jinling City, no one will get used to the temper of your princess family. ”
Lu Yuan's decisive words suddenly made Yang Jing, who originally wanted to use his temper to have a good seizure, choked in his throat: "You ......"
Actually, think about it, what kind of friendship does Lu Yuan have with him?
At the Tianluo Festival, it was just a naked transaction.
The imperial court gave him the title of one of the top ten grandmasters, and Lu Yuan gave him the help of his innate power in exchange for a reward from half a county.
As for the secret of breaking through the innate nature, even if there is no one given by Yang Jing, Lu Yuan's accumulation is enough, at most, it is only a slow breakthrough of two or three months, and it is not much human help.
And seriously, in a land and a half county, it is no longer a disadvantage to change the combat power of an innate grandmaster.
This is also the reason why the holy monk Jihui, Yan Wangqiu and others will agree to the conditions of the imperial court.
But in addition to Lu Yuan's innate combat strength, he also has 100,000 soldiers, 200,000 militia groups, and the territory of Liufu!
These territories, according to the "Edict of Local Self-Recruited People's Groups to Resist Thieves" promulgated by the imperial court, all belong to the reconquest of lost land and can be ruled by the recovering people.
Legally, it already belongs to Lu Yuan.
Now let him give up the territory he already owns, and then move to the wild place where birds don't in Jiuzhen County. And he has to work hard for the imperial court to help fight back the Zhou people, and then he can get half of the county.
Tell me, who can accept this kind of thing?
What others think, Lu Yuan doesn't know, anyway, he can't accept it.
As a result, there is now a situation where the Nanhai faction and the Jiuchuan sword faction are connected to put pressure on the imperial court together.
Make this one article clearer, Yang Jing wants to talk to Lu Yuan about human feelings, but he is simply thinking too much.
So when he found out about this, he became more and more angry, so he had to say, "Then how are you doing?" Is it directly against the imperial court? Don't you want to talk to the court? ”
Lu Yuan saw that his tone softened, so he softened his face, looked left and right, and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go into the camp with me first." ”
After that, he led Yang Jing and several deputy envoys of the imperial court into the camp to discuss the tent together.
……
When they arrived at the tent, the soldiers served fragrant tea and walked out with a look in their eyes.
Then, according to Lu Yuan's previous orders, he immediately blocked the ten-zhang area around the big tent, and listed it as a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to approach.
And in the camp, there were only four innate masters such as Lu Yuan, as well as Yang Jing and two deputy envoys from the imperial court.
After each of them took their seats, everyone drank a few sips of tea with a heavy heart, and after Lu Yuan felt that each other's emotions were much more stable, he spoke: "This time, Brother Yan and Brother Su want to seal the land of the three counties. These three counties have also been selected, namely Dongting, Nanhai, and Yulin. ”
After thinking about it, Lu Yuan didn't say those twists and turns, and directly said the conditions of himself and others.
"It can't be!"
When Yang Jing heard Lu Yuan's condition, the anger that had just been suppressed rose up in an instant, and he slapped the table with his big hand and said, "Now in the hands of the imperial court, it is only the land of eight counties." How can you dare to go to the three counties?
The imperial court will give you a maximum of one person and a half counties, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed this number. ”
For the imperial court, if Lu Yuan was given one person and one county at this time, what would Baifeng Temple and Guanhai Villa think when they heard about it?
Do you want to follow a family to a county?
If this is the case, then the imperial court will give out five counties at once, and in the end, there will only be three counties left in hand.
And if these territories are really given, then there will be no land of five counties, and only Dayue of three counties will remain, is it still Dayue?
So for Yang Jing, Lu Yuan's request was simply wishful thinking and unreasonable.
"I now have a county, and the court gives me half a county, do you want to cut me half a county?"
Seeing Yang Jing's reaction so big, Lu Yuan was also a little angry, and said at this time: "If that's the case, then it's okay, the imperial court will cede the land of Yuzhang and half of the county to me." Then I only need to be half a county, and I have no complaints. ”
With the wealth of Yuzhang County, even half of the county, whether it is household money and food, is more than the entire county of Dongting today.
Therefore, if the imperial court can exchange this half of the county, then Lu Yuan can also accept it.
But can the imperial court?
Yang Jing immediately shook his head: "Yuzhang is the land of, the gateway of the capital division, how can it be ceded to others?" General Lu, it's better to do less wishful thinking. ”
Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "This can't be, that can't be, what can the imperial court give?" ”
Yang Jingdao: "Nanhai County is rich, if the general is willing to collect troops, the imperial court can cut off half of the land of Nanhai County and use it as a general to seal the country." ”
Hearing this, Yan Wangqiu's face next to him suddenly changed, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan, for fear that this ally would be tempted.
Fortunately, it's just a matter of worrying too much.
I saw that Lu Yuan really laughed angrily when he heard this condition.
At this time, the imperial court even wanted to make such a divisive plan. And do they still think that only half of Nanhai County can satisfy their appetite?
Thinking of this operation, Lu Yuan sneered: "If this is the case, then there is nothing to talk about." You and I will set up our troops and horses, and let's fight each other.
I am in Dongting County, and I have raised 300,000 troops, and I am about to fight with others.
The Nanhai faction is sent to Nanhai County, and with just one order, it can also gather 300,000 people. In an instant, you can take down the entire county of the South China Sea.
The Jiuchuan Sword faction in Jian'an County can also gather 200,000 people, and the banner can be raised to make Jian'an easy to flag.
We are waiting for three alliances, four innate grandmasters, and 800,000 brave warriors, if the imperial court is confident that it can defeat us, then send troops to fight.
I'd like to see.
When the time comes, it will be us who will take one county as we wish to open the country, and even occupy two or three more counties.
Or the imperial court can suppress us and prosper again. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yuan also stood up, pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked at Yang Jing with an unkind look.
Seeing his movements, Yan Wangqiu and the others, who were sitting on his side, also stood up one by one, and looked at Yang Jing and the others with their eyes unstaggered.
There is a disagreement with the meaning of leaving a few people in the camp today.
If he really turned his face with the imperial court, then at this moment, killing an innate grandmaster of the other party first is undoubtedly a good thing that can greatly weaken the strength of the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Yan Wangqiu's people were a little eager to try.
This old grandmaster was previously separated by Yang Jing's envoy, and he already faintly hated the other party, and he really seemed to take down this person.
Even if you don't kill, you can teach a lesson.
And being stared at like this by the four innate grandmasters, even if it was Yang Jing, he couldn't help but stand on end, and the alarm bell was loud.
He was like this, not to mention the two deputy envoys next to him who were not yet congenital.
At this time, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs and stomachs trembled, and if they hadn't relied on their will, they would have to sit on the ground.
"Are you really going to rebel?"
Although Yang Jing was also a little afraid in his heart, he still insisted on shouting and scolding, wanting to show the majesty of the imperial court.
But obviously.
In today's scene, there is no majesty at all.
After the scolding, all I got was the mockery in the eyes of the four people opposite.
Seeing this, Yang Jing's face was red, white, and blue, and finally couldn't help turning into bitterness, and said softly: "If there is anything, you can talk about it well, why bother." I'm here today to negotiate with you about the conditions, so I won't come to this point. ”
Lu Yuan sneered, he really didn't eat this set: "Among the martial artists of my generation, they have always spoken with strength, and it is useless to talk too much. Brother Yang, you and I are also old acquaintances, so if you have something to say, you can say it directly.
Let me ask you, what I just said, the four innate grandmasters, the army of 800,000, can the imperial court defeat us, can it suppress us? ”
Being asked so facelessly, Yang Jing's face looked even more ugly, but when he met Deacon Lu Yuan's eyes, he could only nod and say, "With the current situation in the imperial court, it can't be suppressed." ”
"Good!"
Seeing that the other party was not playing those false superficial skills, Lu Yuan shouted hello, nodded and continued: "Then we will raise troops in the three counties, and I will wave my troops to the north and east, attack the Yangtze River, and march east to Yuzhang." Brother Yan waved his troops to the west and south, attacking Yulin and Jiuzhen. Brother Su waved his troops to the north and entered the sea.
Let me ask you, can the imperial court resist it? ”
Hearing this, Yang Jing's expression changed greatly, and he was shocked: "You dare to do this? ”
If it is really according to the strategy that Lu Yuan said, then the imperial court will continue to maintain it. I'm afraid that this big country will be overturned in an instant.
Lu Yuan said coldly: "If the imperial court is unwilling to compromise, do you think I dare or not?" Okay, don't talk about this, I ask you, can the imperial court resist it? ”
Seeing his serious attitude, Yang Jing finally realized that the other party was real, and while his heart was tight, he couldn't help but close his eyes and say in despair: "I can't resist it." ”
"Okay."
Lu Yuan was good again, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Just like Brother Yang said." If we really do this, then let alone the three counties, even the six or seven counties, we can fight it.
At that time, what the imperial court wanted to give was not the three counties, but the entire Dayue country.
You wait until you agree to our conditions, the Linhai family, with six surnames and seven clans, can at least keep the four counties of Jiangdong.
has a piece of foundation, even if the court is down, it can still be called the emperor.
But if you don't agree, not only will the Dayue Guoqi be finished, but even you, the coastal families, will not be able to keep the thousand-year-old family business. ”
Lu Yuan's words turned into sharp knives, slowly revealing the only remaining line of defense in Yang Jing's heart.
Looking at the other party's increasingly pale face, he struck another fatal blow.
"I'm not afraid to tell Brother Yang that these days, the Zhou Kingdom in the north has sent a lot of people to contact us.
The conditions they offered were far more generous than those of the imperial court.
Not only did I be allowed to land in the two counties, but even Brother Yan and Brother Su agreed to their respective requests.
If the court is arguing and wants to embarrass us.
Then don't blame us for opening the Yangtze River and leading 300,000 Zhou soldiers across the river.
At that time, what will happen to the imperial court, what will happen to your six surnames and seven clans, I don't think we need to say it, you should know it in your heart. ”
Lu Yuan reminded kindly.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing's last psychological defense line was finally broken.
"No, absolutely not."
Of course, Yang Jing knew what would happen to the imperial court and their six surnames and seven clans after the Zhou soldiers crossed the river.
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the arrival of the Zhou soldiers, the entire Linhai family would be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing seemed to be able to see the pieces of blood in front of him, and his eyes were slightly red at this time: "If there is something to discuss, you must not let Zhou Bing cross the river." It's not up to me to decide what you're asking for.
I will report to the court, and I will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes. ”
The new Marquis Wu Xuanhou finally lowered his arrogant head and made a compromise.
