Chapter 281: Li Daitao is stiff and difficult to avoid disaster
Zhang Shicheng's army marched very fast, because he held the handwritten order of the Zuo Prime Minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and no one dared to stop him all the way through the states and counties.
In the order of Dazhi Timuer, it was bluntly stated that Yang Wan's soldiers besieged Yangzhou as a rebellion, and Zhang Shicheng, the commander of the ether, was fully responsible for counterinsurgency matters, and all prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River should transfer troops and food for assistance.
However, the defenders in all parts of Jiangnan were suspicious of this order, and although they did not stop it, they did not contribute money and food to help. Now that Jiangnan has become a separatist situation, everyone is only superficially obedient to Dazhi, the nominal official, but they will never obey their words. Such a scene made Zhang Shicheng's idea of fighting the autumn breeze along the road come to naught. However, he doesn't care about these details, if he can take Yangzhou City in one fell swoop with this opportunity, he will have a lot of time to concoct these people later.
This time to send troops to Yangzhou, Zhang Shicheng was responsible for commanding the army is his brother Zhang Shide. Since the Zhang family started the army, this person has fought many tough battles in the south and the north, and he can be regarded as a capable person, the most important thing is such an important thing, Zhang Shicheng can't trust others.
Zhang Shide's army opened very quickly, and as soon as he crossed the river, he drove straight to Jiangdu, and Yangzhou was already within easy reach. Before leaving, although he received Zhang Shicheng's advice, this battle must be resolved quickly, and Yangzhou was taken in one fell swoop before the Yuan court reacted. However, after several contacts with Yang Wanzhi's Miao army scout troops, Zhang Shide found that the morale of the Miao army had not yet fallen, and if they wanted to attack, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Although he has an army of 200,000 under his command, it is several times that of the Miao army. However, the courage of the Miao army, he has already learned it, and he has to preserve his strength to deal with the crazy counterattack that the Tartar court may launch after taking Yangzhou. Therefore, after arriving in Jiangdu, Zhang Shide did not rush forward, but worked steadily and steadily, squeezing the Miao army's room for maneuver little by little.
The content of Dazhi's order reached the Miao army camp, and all the Miao army generals, including Yang Wanzhi, were furious. They didn't know that Dazhi had been placed under house arrest by Zhang Shicheng, and they only thought that the two parties had conspired to kill the Miao army. The Miao soldiers below were even more frightened, they thought that the imperial court had given up on them, and they would immediately send a large army to encircle and suppress them. For a while, people were panicked and lost their fighting spirit.
At present, all the generals of the Miao army are gathered in the big tent of Yang Wanzhi's Chinese army, and they are crusading against Dazhi Timu and Zhang Shicheng in unison, but it is not without the meaning of exploring Yang Wanzhi's tone. They were willing to follow Yang Wanzhi to leave their homeland and fight thousands of miles, but it was not for the sake of loyalty to the Tartar court, which had nothing to do with them, but for the sake of their own official position and wealth. If the Tartar court really gave them up, they would have to make other plans.
Although Yang Wanzhi also had doubts in his heart, he could only maintain a calm look in front of the generals, and sneered: "Dazhi and Zhang Shicheng are ambitious, this self-made idea wants to swallow us, how easy is it to say!
Seeing that Yang Wanzhi was so determined, the generals had a slight reduction in doubt, and bowed their hands and left.
After dealing with the generals, Yang Wanzhi walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army with a gloomy face, went to the camp tent of the girl sect leader of the Five Poisons Sect, bowed down from a distance in front of the camp gate and said, "Is it convenient for the Lan sect master now?" Yang has something to inquire, I don't know if he can enter the account to visit?"
Without a twist, the girl's crisp voice sounded in the camp tent: "Yang Dashuai will come in, you don't have to be polite!"
After Yang Wanzhi entered the door, he saw the girl leaning barefoot on the soft couch, and his heart couldn't help beating a lot faster with her white feet like jade. However, there are still urgent things at the moment, Yang Wanzhi quickly reined in his thoughts, sat down under the girl, and said straight to the point: "Don't be afraid of the Blue Sect Master's laughter, in the current situation, Yang really has no energy to deal with it." The Blue Sect Master is here with the mandate of heaven, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can explain, is there any follow-up move?"
The girl giggled and said: "Yang Dashuai is arrogant, you are so important in Jiangnan, what else can you not deal with? What do you want to do, that is, just do it, if you cause great trouble, someone will take care of it for you." ”
When Yang Wanzhi heard this, the corners of his mouth flashed with a wry smile and said, "Right now, it's already a big trouble for me. If it was in the past, Yang was naturally fearless, even if he couldn't fight, he would win, and it would be a big deal to lead a group of brothers back to Miaodi. However, now that Yang has entered the prince's door, these brothers under him are the prince's most trusted helpers, and they really dare not make decisions for the prince, so that the prince will suffer losses. ”
The girl's mind was exquisite, how could she not hear the threat in Yang Wanzhi's words, and immediately sneered: "The prince of the prince's country, the future king will be the king of the world, and most people in the world will want to invest in the prince's door." If any of them provokes trouble and asks the prince to help, then does His Royal Highness the prince still want to do other things? Yang Dashuai, for the prince, there are only two kinds of people in this world, who can help him solve the trouble and the waste. Which one do you think you are?"
When Yang Wanzhi heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but say coldly: "What does Sect Master Lan mean, isn't it that the prince intends to abandon me and stand by?"
Sect Master Lan shook his head and said with a smile: "How can Yang Dashuai be a waste stream! You are of great use to the crown prince, so the prince sent me to protect your safety." Although I am only a little woman, I am not idle enough to take care of everything. The prince sent me to show that he will not give up on you. And at what cost the prince wants to save you, it is up to Yang Dashuai to fight for it himself. It took a lot of effort for the prince to find the sore feet of the king of Ruyang, to find out the whereabouts of the county lord Shaomin, and to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, is it just this mess in front of you that you repay the prince?"
After Yang Wanzhi heard this, he snorted coldly: "It was precisely after listening to the prince's order that I sent troops to surround Yangzhou and gave Dazhi the opportunity to attack me. failed to complete the prince's confession, but it was bad luck and not a war achievement. If the prince withdraws his hand and ignores it, how can he convince the public? With me as a reference, who in the world dares to use the prince?"
The Lan Sect Master still had a smile on his face, raised his finger and pointed at himself, and said, "Yang Dashuai still doesn't understand the root of the problem, doesn't it clear why the prince sent me? Father and son can turn against each other, even if they abandon you as a minion, what is surprising? If you don't have these tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, why should the prince look at you differently? The prince sent me, although it is to protect you Yang Dashuai, but if it really can't be kept, I will naturally come forward to appease these tens of thousands of soldiers. Although I can't fight on the battlefield, if I want to pacify these tens of thousands of soldiers and hand them over to the prince safely, I can still do it!"
When Yang Wanzhi heard this, his face suddenly turned to ashes. Although the girl smiled, the murderous meaning in her words made him shudder. The Miao people are good at Gu and poison, and the Five Poisons Sect is one of the best, so they can naturally be admired by the Miao people. It is no exaggeration to say that the status of the Five Poisons Sect in the minds of the Miao people is not much different from that of the Confucian Mansion Yan Shenggong in the hearts of the Han people! If this Blue Sect Master wants to replace himself, he will not spend a single soldier at all, as long as he raises his arms after the Miao army is in a desperate situation, a large number of Miao troops will abandon him!
Thinking like this, all the pride and self-esteem in Yang Wanzhi's heart were all forgotten, he bit his teeth, turned over and knelt at the girl's feet, and said in a trembling voice: "Ask the Blue Sect Master to save my life!"
The Blue Sect Master looked at Yang Wanzhi, who was kneeling at his feet, and sighed, "Yang Dashuai, you are really confused. You have commanded tens of thousands of subordinate soldiers of the clan, and in recent years you have fought in the north and south, and although you have made a great reputation, apart from some innocuous official positions, what have you gained? If you can calm down all these years and run our seedlings like an iron bucket, now I don't dare to take care of you even today!"
Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Yang Wanzhi's shocked face, but he hurriedly kowtowed: "Yang is loyal to the imperial court, and he will never dare to have a bad heart!"
Seeing Yang Wanzhi's appearance like this, the Blue Sect Master suddenly remembered Zhao Yu's figure, and she sighed faintly and said: "Not to mention that there are many talents among the Han people, even the Mongols in the bitter cold land outside the territory have produced a Genghis Khan, a ancestor Kublai Khan. However, among our Miao people, there are only some brave and ruthless people, but there has never been a big hero who stands up to the sky...... Heaven treats Miao people so thinly!"
Hearing the Lan Sect Master's emotion, Yang Wanzhi was even more frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak, and cold sweat was already pouring out on his forehead.
After a pause, the Blue Sect Master said again: "As long as you are not blind, you can see that this Tartar court has exhausted its qi." But there is also Yang Dashuai, a stubborn and inspiritual person like you, who wants to be martyred for it! Even if you are extremely high-ranking and in the first class? I won't hide it from you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Tartar has allowed me to be the concubine of the East Palace, and I don't care about my stepmother's honor in the world. It's just that Yang Dashuai, you are still blinded by this flashy official position!"
After hearing this, Yang Wanzhi finally grasped the intention of the Lan Sect Master, and hurriedly kowtowed on the carpet, and said in a deep voice: "The Blue Sect Master reprimanded, deafening! The Miao people should be self-reliant, and Yang Wanzhi was confused, so he was brave and loyal to this Tartar court! But if he can get through this difficulty, he will definitely change his past mistakes and work hard for the future of my Miao people!"
Hearing Yang Wanzhi say this, the Blue Sect Master stood up and sighed: "Fortunately, you are not stupid to the end, otherwise I don't care if you live or die! Lord Shao Min is still down, although her subordinates are strong in martial arts, they also know each other's details. The most difficult thing is that the great demon lord of the Demon Sect is also eyeing you. Whether or not you can keep your life under his hands, I dare not say. From now on, you will stay by my side, and you will not leave me for a moment, and someone will naturally do what you want to do. ”
As she spoke, she shook the silver bell in her hand, and a man walked out from behind the tent.
Yang Wanzhi looked up and was stunned, it turned out that this person's appearance, body shape, and even skin color and temperament were the same as him! )
