Chapter 751: Sudden Change (2)
Li Fengyun was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "The Han is not weak to me, and Liu Chengyou is also good to my Yiwu army, and he has not offended me in the slightest. If we raise our troops at this time, then we will become ungrateful, wolf-minded and ambitious, treacherous and unkind. ”
"That's good!" Gongsun Wuwu nodded, and continued, "Not only that, but I'm afraid that all the princes of the world will regard me Fengyunwei as an enemy, and immediately gather around Liu Chengyou to fight with me Fengyunwei." I, Fengyunwei, can be regarded as blocking this catastrophe for Liu Chengyou, and it is a thankless catastrophe, and Liu Chengyou will not be grateful to us. ”
Li Fengyun was a little surprised, and said, "How can it be? It's not that serious, right?"
"How could it not?" Hua Jieyu, who had always rarely spoken on state affairs, sighed lightly and said, "General Li, you underestimate the hatred of the princes of the world for the theory of equality. With the gradual development of some policies in Dingzhou, Yizhou, and Shenzhou, now not only the gentry are standing opposite us, but even Taoists and Buddhists have faintly begun to oppose us. Dingzhou seems to be more prosperous day by day on the surface, but the waves below have never been so turbulent.
These people may rather accept a mediocre and tyrannical emperor than watch the power of my Fengyunwei further expand. According to the information we have secretly gathered, almost all the princes are very hostile to our Fengyun Guard. In the past, we only talked about it, but since this year, when we really started to do this, those gentry and princes felt the pain on their skin. Some people who were originally neutral fell to them without exception.
Nowadays, there are many stories circulating in various parts of the Central Plains that maliciously slander our Fengyunwei, accusing us of Fengyunwei of actually doing the White Lotus Sect. Its intention is very obvious, that is, to teach the remnants of my Fengyun Wei White Lotus.
The reason why those princes didn't dare to embarrass me Fengyunwei before was just because they had ghosts and were afraid of the strength of my Fengyunwei, and no one was willing to be the first bird.
Now if they are given an excuse, if they don't attack them in groups, it will be strange. ”
Li Fengyun's face changed suddenly, at the beginning of the year, he began to implement many equality policies in the people, it was he who made the board, and Hua Jieyu also persuaded him not to be in such a hurry, but Li Fengyun took it as the wind in his ears, and he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.
Gongsun Wuwu said: "This is also the reason why I am in such a hurry to organize and train the new army. In this kind of situation surrounded by wolves, only strong force can protect the land of Ding, Yi and Shenzhou.
Fengyun, at the beginning, my son didn't approve of your plan to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, because it was too dangerous. Now it's different, I think it's imperative to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The soldiers and horses of the Central Plains will come to the door sooner or later. There is no danger to defend in the three states of Ding, Yi, and Shen, so how can we resist the army of the Central Plains? Even if we win a hundred battles, as long as we lose one battle, our hard work over the years will be in vain. Only by taking the sixteen states of Yanyun and retreating to the sixteen states of Yanyun can it be possible to recuperate.
Promoting equality is by no means an overnight thing, it can be achieved overnight, we are in too much of a hurry!
What are you saying I have been buying grain and grass on a large scale in the past few months? It is because I am worried that one day, the Central Plains will deal with us, and even if we have money, we may not be able to buy grain. Without food, how can the soldiers fight a war? How can the people feel at ease? Relying on the output of the three prefectures of Ding, Yi, and Shen alone cannot feed so many soldiers and people, especially in wartime.
I have to say that the little emperor Liu Chengyou's move may have won me some time to recuperate. At least for a year, no one will do anything to us. ”
Li Fengyun realized that the environment that Fengyunwei was in now was probably much more severe than he thought, otherwise, Gongsun Wuwu and Su Yunong would not say such things.
"What worries me the most is not the enemy outside. Gongsun Wuwu continued, "It's the enemy hidden within us. In the past year, many of the policies we have implemented in the three prefectures of Ding, Yi, and Shen have not only touched the interests of the gentry, but also the interests of many people within our Fengyunwei. How many people are willing to stand with us within our Fengyunwei, to be honest, I don't have any bottom in my heart. Once these people defect, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
However, in order to prevent the instability of the army's morale, we could not investigate, and it was difficult to find out. ”
"They dare!" Li Fengyun slapped the table and shouted: "Wang Dashan, what are you doing to eat, isn't this what you should do?"
Wang Dashan lowered his head, and Gongsun said anxiously: "This is not to blame General Wang, after all, how many people are there in the Grain and Grass Preparation Bureau?
And the last time General Wang Cheng's incident happened, many old people in Fengyunwei hated General Wang, and some people even said that General Wang was the Junchen in my Fengyunwei. [Note 2] General Wang has done enough. ”
Li Fengyun was stunned, patted Wang Dashan on the shoulder to apologize, and asked, "How much have you found out?"
Wang Dashang replied: "There are 37 people in key positions who are being investigated, and five of them have conclusive evidence. Although these five men did not do any wrong, there is evidence that they have taken refuge in other princes. One of them was an old man who had come out of Zhenzhou with the general.
Of the other thirty-two people, seven were old men who had been born and died on the battlefield. ”
Li Fengyun sighed and said, "Worry-free boy, find a way to transfer those thirty-two people out of the key position for the time being." At most, after finding out in the future, he will be transferred back to his original position, and I will personally compensate him.
Dashan, look for an opportunity to invite those five people back, and I'll have a good talk with them, since they don't agree and they haven't made any mistakes, then let's get together and disperse, and they can go wherever they want!
In addition, Dashan, if you don't have enough manpower, I'll give you an extra 200 people. As long as you need to, you can mobilize people from the pro-guard battalion to help you, and I'll let Gu Hong help you! Remember, your duties are very important, and we absolutely can't tolerate problems internally. Of course, the news from the Liao side cannot be relaxed.
Also, Brother She, Brother Mo, you also have to cooperate more with Dashan, if you find anything wrong, please notify Dashan. ”
She Pocai and Mo lightly agreed.
Wang Dashan's face was ruddy, and he looked a little excited, and said: "Thank you for the trust of the general, Dashan will never be dishonored." It's just that General Zhang Jun, is that the matter of General Zhang just settled?"
