Chapter 212: Small Quantity is Not a Gentleman
A few days later, Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min coveted Yugong Song's family wealth, killed all the people of Yugong Song's family, and plundered the family wealth, which has spread all over the Central Plains states. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After Taishan learned the news, he scolded Zhang Min in his heart, this mediocre talent, delayed Taishan's great plan, and completely ruined Taishan's overall plan to plot Xuzhou. At present, Xuzhou has become a crisis, and Yugong Zhaolie will inevitably raise troops sooner or later to avenge his father and take Xuzhou's fat meat in the name of righteousness. What Taishan needs to consider now is no longer how to plot against Xuzhou, but how to avoid the evil and avoid the soldiers of Ugong Teruje.
Taishan was also confused for a while, knowing that Zhang Min was greedy, thinking that with a blank check of two thousand taels of gold, he could drive Zhang Min to work for himself, and when he arrived in Yanzhou to poison Yugong Song, afterwards, even if someone was suspicious, he could not trace Taishan's body at all, at most he suspected that Tao Qian's motives were not pure, which would be more conducive to Taishan's plot against Xuzhou. However, Taishan ignored one point, Ugong Song is a well-known rich man, can he still have less money with him?
This is not to blame Taishan, Taishan was born in a slight cold, since he was a child, he has never seen a huge amount of money, so naturally he can't imagine how rich Ugong Song is. Because of Taishan's neglect, it caused the fact that Zhang Min grabbed money and killed him, and even Zhang Min couldn't wait to go to Yanzhou to do it, and he did it directly in Xuzhou, Zhang Min's move. Let Xuzhou fall into panic. Speaking of which, Taishan's plan can really be described as clever but mistaken by cleverness.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This is Taishan's consistent life creed. At this moment, Xuzhou is no longer the refuge of Mount Tai, nor is it a place where Mount Tai can show his ambitions in his imagination. But the problem is that in the past two years, Taishan has been plotting against Xuzhou, every day and every hour. all put on a model of benevolence, righteousness and morality, which gave him a high voice in Xuzhou, and some heroes were also secretly attracted by Mount Tai. For example, Chen Jue and Chen Deng father and son in Xiapi, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers in the East China Sea, and so on. Now Xuzhou is facing the soldiers of Ugong Terulie at any time, and if Taishan is at a critical moment, he will retreat. Not only will it ruin the public image that he has built up for a long time. It will also chill the hearts of heroes such as Chen Qi and Mi Zhu, and in the future, which people will be willing to believe in him again? What other heroes will dare to serve him? Therefore, Taishan has fallen into unprecedented depression. The two roads in front of Mount Tai are to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, coexist with Xuzhou, and win the praise of the people of Xuzhou; Dodging Unomiya Terulie's soldiers, he fell into infamy; None of them are what Tarzan wants.
In fact, Mount Tai's dilemma today is completely caused by his own hands, from the beginning of entering Xuzhou, trying to plot Xuzhou, today's situation is already doomed, but out of the inferior nature of human beings, Mount Tai is categorically not admitted, it was he who created such a situation with his own hands, but put all the faults, directly on Zhang Min's body, thinking that Zhang Min undermined the stability of Xuzhou, and sent Xuzhou to the cusp. Taishan completely forgot that Zhang Min had accepted a bribe from someone to escort Yugong Song.
Time back to half a year ago, after pacifying Buyeo, Yuan Qi led the army westward, joined up with Zhao Hu's department, and stationed in Zhangwu to resist Xianbei in the east of Amaiti's department. Although Goguryeo and Buyeo were successfully resolved, it did not mean that Yuan Qi could calmly deal with the overall situation of Xianbei.
A rare heavy snowfall plunged the nomadic tribes in northern Xinjiang into an unprecedented crisis. Almost all the cattle and sheep they raised were frozen to death, and even the lambs and calves of the next year were missing, and the huge crisis plunged the Xianbei people into hysterical madness. Plunder! Only by plundering can their people multiply, otherwise, it will not be long before the Xianbei people will lose their rule over the northern frontier and become slaves of the Xin barbarians or the Thorn Ta people. Of course, Xin Man and Thorn Tower people are not comfortable at the moment, and the heavy snow, which is in danger of extinction to the Xianbei people, is equally effective against Xin Man and Thorn Tower people. Therefore, Xin Man and the Thorn Tower people also participated in this southern invasion, trying to plunder enough materials from the hands of the Han people to pass on their nation.
Under such a background, all the alien races in the entire northern Xinjiang launched a large-scale plundering war against the territory of Youhe. After the first battle in Shaxian, Yuan Qi only had less than a year to recover, and today, just barely recovered, he will face such a big war against the entire northern Xinjiang alien race, which can be described as the autumn of life and death.
The war in northern Xinjiang has touched the hearts of countless people. First of all, the people in the territory of Youji, they are most concerned about this war, if the alien race successfully invades the south, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for these people, not to mention the family wealth, and even their lives may have to be put into it. In addition to the people of the secluded annexation, some people of insight in other places are also worried in their hearts, lest Yuan Qi will not be able to resist the alien races in the northern Xinjiang, once the alien races in the northern Xinjiang invade and occupy the land of the secluded annexation, it is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the north of the strong man, and he can plunder the hinterland at any time, becoming a major hidden danger in the north.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the war between Yuan Qi and the alien races in northern Xinjiang, Ugong Zhaolie rose rapidly, conquered half of Qingzhou and Yuzhou in succession, and faintly presented the form of encirclement of Xuzhou, and could launch a war against Xuzhou at any time, becoming a veritable overlord of the Central Plains. Because Ugong Zhaolie was ordered by the Son of Heaven to quell the rebellion of the Qingzhou Red Turban Army, he was also crowned as Sikong by Yuan Xie, and became the prince of the real power faction ranked among the three dukes.
At the same time, Yuan Ding was not willing to miss the opportunity, although he was burned down by Yuan Qi's granary in Yecheng, and he was unable to launch a large-scale war in the short term. Zhang Zong and others laid heavy troops on the border line, so that Yuan Ding did not dare to go north, but Yuan Ding set the target on Qingzhou in the east, taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle between Yugong Zhaolie and the Qingzhou Red Turban Army, and captured the four counties in the west of Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and divided Qingzhou equally with Yugong Zhaolie, and later because the Taihe River served Yugong Zhaolie, and took away Qi County from Yuan Ding like lightning, but Yuan Ding still controlled the three richer counties in Qingzhou and occupied half of Qingzhou.
In addition to the psychological changes and trends of the above-mentioned people, the war in northern Xinjiang also affects the hearts of some conspirators. For example, Wang Nuo, who wants to put Yuan to death. As soon as the war broke out in Northern Xinjiang, Wang Nuo began to become active, secretly spreading unfavorable news to Yuanqi, trying to take the opportunity to reduce Yuanqi's prestige and shake the military spirit of the Youhe army. After a period of hard work, Wang Nuo was disappointed to find that everything he did was in vain, the Youhe army was under the governance of generals and strategists at all levels, like an iron plate, Wang Nuo's rumors, could not shake the military heart of the Youhe army at all, these soldiers, the worship and admiration of Yuan Qi, far beyond Wang Nuo's expectations, in their hearts, Yuan Qi is the existence of the god of war, the god of war, it is impossible to be defeated.
Wang Nuo and Yuan Qi have had a long-standing grudge, since Qi Tian took away Ruyu and let Wang Nuo's beauty plan fail, Yuan Qi suppressed Wang Nuo everywhere, stole all the limelight of King Qin's rescue, and made Wang Nuo resentful, and even did not hesitate to unite Yuan Ding and other twelve princes to set up an ambush in Shaxian, intending to intercept Yuan Qi on the way home, but unfortunately in the end Yuan Qi returned to Youzhou unscathed, making the resentment in Wang Nuo's heart even more difficult to calm. Seeing that spreading rumors did not work, Wang Nuo changed his strategy and wanted to put pressure on Yuan Xie through the ministers of the court and China to remove Yuan Qiyou and the position of the governor.
However, Wang Nuo, who was anxious for quick success, ignored one point, and today's Yuan Xie is no longer the ignorant and ignorant son of heaven at the beginning! The current Yuan Xie has more than 10,000 personal soldiers in his hands, and Zhang Ji has led 70,000 troops to sit in Chang'an, which is not far away, and with military power in his hands, his waist is naturally much stiffer. , the Wenchen led by Zhong Xuan and Du Ji, together with the famous generals led by Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan, formed a powerful camp around Yuan Xie, and gradually grasped nearly half of the power in the court, and the scholars were invisibly in the court, so Wang Nuo's plan was once again declared bankrupt. Yuan Xie blocked all of Wang Nuo's tricks in one sentence: I believe that the imperial brother will be able to conquer the northern frontier and make my Yuan clan as stable as a rock!
One plan failed, and one plan failed, and the unwilling Wang Nuo thought hard and meditated, and came up with another poisonous plan. In Wang Nuo's opinion, Qi Tian could even betray Dong Meng, who had a life-saving grace for him, for the sake of Ruyu, let alone Yuan Qi, who was just a sworn brother? In the face of real interests and beauty, brotherhood is not even a fart. So, Wang Nuo looked for ten singers with good colors and arts in the capital, sent people to the Qi Tian camp that was resisting the central Xianbei in the northern Xinjiang, and sent a message to Qi Tian, as long as Qi Tian deliberately released water, so that the central Xianbei successfully invaded the Yu and the interior, which led to the disrepute of Yuan Qi, Wang Nuo was willing to go to the table of the Son of Heaven, and crowned Qi Tian as the new governor of the Yu and Dadu, after the matter was completed, as a reciprocal condition, Qi Tian also wanted to support Wang Nuo to ascend the throne of the prime minister, and from then on, the two of them one inside and one outside, jointly controlled the power of the court.
In the face of Wang Nuo's tempting conditions, Qi Tian did not give a direct reply, but ordered the army and horses of the headquarters to stop advancing, and found various reasons to repeatedly postpone the battle with Xianbei in the central part of the country, and also detained the generals and colonels from Youzhou in the army for some reason, and captured all the military power in their hands into their own hands.
Qi Tian's reaction made Wang Nuo very pleased. Although Qi Tian did not make a clear statement, from his actions, Wang Nuo could see that Qi Tian couldn't stand the bait he threw and had begun to bite the hook!
