Chapter 4 Layout
With Li Jian's enthronement of Wang Qingzhou, many old soldiers withdrew from the army, but in the rest of the month, there were less than 250,000 horses left of the 300,000 iron cavalry that were originally famous all over the world, and these remaining iron cavalry also switched to the command of the remaining three generals, and the 300,000 Li family iron cavalry army that Liang was proud of ceased to exist.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixth year of Yonghong, Guo Yuan rode alone for thousands of miles, crossed the border of Daliang, went to Poyang City, and secretly met with Song Jinyang, the national teacher of Great Chu. The two sat and talked to each other in the National Teacher's Mansion, Song Jinyang fell like flying, and the killing intent on the chessboard was pervasive, on the other hand, Guo Yuan, every time he fell, he was not in a hurry, he seemed very light and light, and he did not take the initiative to attack. When the end was approaching, Song Jinyang took the initiative to admit defeat, waved his hand, and said angrily: "That's it, I'm really afraid of you, after so many years, I still hold my breath like this." ”
Guo Yuan said with a smile: "The reason why I am calm is because I know that you Song Jinyang is good at yang schemes, if you change to him Li Mixian, I am afraid that before I wait for the middle game, I will already order someone to put a knife on my neck." ”
Song Jinyang pointed his finger at Guo Yuan, and said with an angry smile: "You, you, all these years have passed, and you are still worried about those things?" How long will you two fight before you give up? ”
Guo Yuan snorted coldly and said, "You Song Jinyang don't know about me and Li Mixian's temper?" Unless one party dies, there will never be a solution to this matter! ”
Song Jinyang slowly stood up, walked to the window, sighed, and said: "I think back then, you and I studied in Dongyue Academy, how high-spirited, just because you are young, but you are too sharp, and you steal the limelight of Li Mixian everywhere, and at that time, An Murong Yan suppressed the crowd, Li Mixian had already secretly had feelings for her, but An Murong was in love with you, which made him hold a grudge and finally part ways, which is really regrettable." ”
Guo Yuan sneered and said, "What do you do about these adult pasts. A dignified scholar, where did he come from so many bullshit flies and dogs, he Li Mi was born with pride, he was regarded as a prodigy since he was a child, and he went too smoothly all the way, and he couldn't bear it when he suffered a little setback, you must know that there are people outside the sky, how can everything fulfill his wishes? Guo only knows that now you and I can still sit and talk to each other as before, and that's enough. ”
Song Jinyang smiled bitterly: "But because you have lost a confidant who has known each other for 20 years, since you and I returned from studying, Song has not seen Li Mixian for almost ten years." ”
Guo Yuan said with a smile: "The dignified master of Chu is talking about the Taibao of Xiping State all day long, if it reaches the ears of the King of Chu, I am afraid that he will be suspicious, right?" ”
Song Jinyang said indifferently: "I still meet with you from time to time, what's wrong?" Besides, apart from Song being able to say and listen to you, where will others know. ”
Guo Yuan didn't care, and said: "The wall has ears, it's better to be careful in everything, besides, my Dayan has always been good friends with the Chu State, and you and I are from the same school, why do you need to avoid suspicion?" If it weren't for this, how could Guo dare to go into danger alone, after all, Guo's head could be exchanged for Liang Guozheng's first official. ”
Song Jinyang smiled and said: "Who told you to refuse Emperor Liang Qing's solicitation three times, and he would not participate in the political affairs of several countries, but he switched to the sect of King Yan, Feng Jing'an is magnanimous, so naturally he will not target you, but now that Feng Jingquan has succeeded to the throne, where will he be able to swallow this breath, it is a miracle that you can safely pass through the territory of Liang State." Say, what is the matter with coming to Song today? ”
Guo Yuan slowly stood up, stared at Song Jinyang, and said: "In less than three years, the Liang State will inevitably have civil strife, and at that time, the general of my Yan State Baili will lead the troops to attack, and now Li Jian has sealed Wang Qingzhou, in fact, it is considered to be unloading the armor and returning to the field, and the remaining three generals of the Liang State are in vain, and then I hope that the King of Chu will send troops together to help my Dayan!" After the matter is completed, the sixteen states of the Liang State can be arbitrarily selected by the king of Chu, and the national teacher is also asked to bring a message to the king of Chu on his behalf. ”
Song Jinyang was taken aback, such as today's four points, the tiger of the Liang State occupies the dragon plate, monopolizing half of the Central Plains, and the three kingdoms of Great Chu, Yan and Xiping each occupy the king's land, desperately resisting, and the war has been continuous for decades, each with its own victory and defeat, but it has always been difficult to shake the foundation of the Liang State. Song Jinyang knew that both the King of Yan and the King of Chu were bent on breaking through Qingyang and dominating the world. But Liang Guo's military strength is strong, and he has never been able to do what he wanted, I don't know what Guo Yuan's clever plan is, so he is so confident, so he asked: "How do you know that Liang Guo will definitely have civil strife, and how can you ensure that Yan Chu can destroy Liang by joining forces?" ”
Guo Yuan said with a smile: "There is no perfect strategy in the world, it is all man-made." Feng Jingquan is desolate and promiscuous, the treasury of Liang has long been left, although Qingyang City is prosperous, it is not as good as the land south of the Yangtze River, and Qingyang is at the junction of the three kingdoms, if there is another war, when the soldiers are in the city, is it difficult for him Feng Jingquan to rush to the front? Guo has his own way to let Emperor Wu of Liang move the capital elsewhere, and there will be many important ministers who insist on opposing this matter, and after Li Jian handed over the military power, many loyal veterans under his command also withdrew from the army, and there are still many soldiers in the wait-and-see position, looking forward to the day when Li Jian will regain military power, but if the war starts, Li Jian will still not be reused, may I ask Your Excellency, how many people will be discharged from the army? Previously, Emperor Qing and Li Jianshi went out of the same house, and the soldiers of the Liang State were loyal to Li Jian, which was loyal to Emperor Qing, but now Emperor Wu is shallow in learning and is not a master, where is it worthy of these people's allegiance? And I, Dayan, have been in obscurity in recent years, and what I am waiting for is this opportunity, Guo's first game of chess, and it is time to end it. ”
Song Jinyang doubted: "Could it be that there is your internal response in the territory of Liang Kingdom?" ”
"That's nature!" Guo Yuan stroked his palms and laughed, "When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be together, the Central Plains is a great river and mountain, how can it fall into the hands of him Feng Jingquan!" ”
Song Jinyang still didn't believe it, and asked again: "State affairs are not private affairs, even if you Guo Yuan have no last resort, Song doesn't believe that you can interfere in Liang's internal affairs." ”
Guo Yuan was not annoyed, but said lightly: "If you say it below, Emperor Liang Qing died violently, Feng Jingquan succeeded to the throne, and now Li Jian has crowned Wang Qingzhou, all of them are from my own hands, Brother Jinyang, do you believe it or not?" After saying that, he laughed and turned to leave, leaving Song Jinyang sitting on the ground, speechless in shock.
On August 19 of the sixth year of Yonghong, Liang Guoshangshu's right servant shot Yang Yuan to visit the Taishi's Mansion late at night. As soon as he saw Jiang Qing, he took three steps and made two steps to bow to the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Taishi save me!" Jiang Qing drank the tribute spring tea by himself, and said without raising his head: "What kind of system does it take to bow down to Jiang Moucheng?" Lord Yang, please get up quickly, if you have anything to say, sit down and speak slowly. He said this, but he didn't move, and he didn't seem to plan to step forward to help.
Yang Yuan has asked for help, and Jiang Qing's power is monstrous, so he naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, but he still refused to get up for a long time, only raised the revelation, and said: "Lord Jiang, the lower official has just received the news, five days later, His Majesty will move the capital to Guangling, and will order the lower official to be fully responsible for this matter, although Guangling Road is rich, but it is located in the southeast, far away from the center, and there is no preparation, if it cannot be completed regularly, I am afraid that the head of the lower official will not be saved, and please persuade Your Majesty not to move the capital at will." ”
When Jiang Qing heard this, he was shocked, this was the first time he had heard of such a secret matter, and he didn't know why His Majesty decided to move the capital temporarily, and he didn't know where Yang Yuan heard the news, but his face was silent, and he sneered: "Lord Yang is so powerful, he can actually know the holy will in advance!" ”
Yang Yuan smiled and replied, "Master, there is no one else here, and the lower officials will have something to say." Liang's internal politics are corrupt and chaotic, and there are no private means for the civil and military, and the adults also know that Yang Guifei is the sister of the lower official, and it is not surprising that the lower official can know these private things. Xia Guan only asks the Lord to make His Majesty change his mind, from now on, the Xia Guan is the only Lord who looks forward, and please help me! ”
Jiang Qing sneered and said, "Jiang Mou has forgotten this stubble, there is a sister who can blow the wind on the pillow in His Majesty's ears, and he still comes to ask the official to do something?" ”
Yang Yuan replied: "If you ask for help from your sister, wouldn't it make Your Majesty suspicious, and if your sister is snubbed by Your Majesty because of this matter, your career will come to an end." Master Jiang is resourceful and can naturally come up with a foolproof plan. ”
Jiang Qing laughed, nodded Yang Yuan, and said: "No wonder they all say that you are an old fox, or not, after Wang Dian died, there is indeed a vacancy under this official, so after you retire from the dynasty tomorrow, you will bring the list of foreign officials, and this official will make an idea for you." ”
Although Yang Yuan couldn't understand it, he knew that Jiang Qing would do what he said, and after getting a satisfactory answer, Yang Yuan kowtowed three times in a row, and after thanking him a thousand times, he dared to get up and leave.
