Chapter 299 Good news before the war(1/2)
Qingyang Palace has replaced the guards, and the inner circumference of the back garden is still protected by the guards of the King of Shu, but the outer circumference is completely Yang Ling's personal soldiers, and they are not allowed to enter outside or leave inside, otherwise they will be killed.
His personal soldiers brought a total of 500 people, and this time he sent another 300 people. However, if the person who wanted to be unfavorable to Yang Ling was really the King of Shu, even if all the five hundred personal soldiers were sent, Yang Ling would not hesitate, because as long as the King of Shu was in his control, it would be the greatest guarantee for his personal safety.
These elite troops in the capital army seemed to be made from the same mold, almost the same height, fat and thin. As Yang Ling participated in many battles on the battlefield, the fierce murderous aura was imitated by others. Compared with the guards of the royal palace who looked as mighty but had completely different temperaments, the superiority and inferiority were judged.
Although these people are few, they give people a feeling that this is an army, a truly elite army, who can be a bloody warrior of ten. Although they have gentle smiles on their faces, both the Qingyang Palace Taoist priests and the royal palace guards in the inner circle have intentionally or unintentionally distanced them from them and dared not approach them lightly.
Liu Dabangchui was chewing a green grass in his mouth, standing on tiptoe on the platform and looking into the distance, murmured: "Let's go quickly? Grandma, I can't follow the commander to go out to war this time. Standing here as a guard, I'm really holding my breath."
A guard next to him smiled and said, "Master Baihu, didn't the marquis say that if you guard this place, you will be a great achievement. When you come back, you will definitely remember your first achievement."
Liu Dabangcui glared at the eye and cursed: "You know what a fool! Do you know that following the general to fight, it's so satisfying, it's fun, it's so fun! You're such a big stick that doesn't know."
The man laughed and stopped making a sound.
At this time, a naughty and delicate voice came from behind: "You are so brave, you are blind? You don't even recognize me, otherwise you will chop your head!"
Liu Dabangcui turned around and saw the two guards shining coldly in their hands. Two sharp pavilions were holding each other together, and they were stopping a girl in green clothes. The girl was following two little girls, and her face turned pale because of scaring.
Liu Dabangcui walked over slowly with grass root in his mouth and asked, "What's going on?"
The two guards still warily stopped the girl with their swords and said without looking back: "Report to Baihu, this girl wants to leave Qingyang Palace."
The girl's eyes widened and glared at him, "You are their land? Let me get out of here, I'm going out for a walk."
Liu Dabangchui looked up and down and saw that he was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with pink skin, as if she could get out of water after pinching her hands. Her eyes were round, her eyebrows were curved, and her little red mouth was slightly exposed. She pursed her lips. Although she was angry, she still looked very cute.
Liu Dabangcui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What are you going out? Our Grand Marshal said, I have the final say in this place now. Even a mouse is not allowed to go in and run out. Although you are a little girl, you are bigger than a mouse. No! Without the Grand Marshal's orders, I will go back and squat honestly."
The little girl turned pale when she heard this. She put her hands on her willows' slender waist, raised her eyebrows like a distant mountain, and shouted sharply: "You are so brave, do you know who this girl is?"
"Yoho", Liu Dabangchui spitted the grass stem and put his hands on his round belly. He really couldn't find his waist: "Do you know who this military master is?"
The little girl was so angry that she was about to explode. She pointed to her small and sharp nose and shouted: "I am the daughter of the King of Shu, the princess of Sichuan, you are such a big bastard who is not open to your eyes!"
Liu Dabangcui turned her green bean eyes, stretched out her fingers as thick as a carrot, and lit her garlic nose and said, "I am the personal soldier of the Grand Marshal, Shandong Dabangcui, you are a little girl who is not open to your eyes!"
"You...you...you...you...you, even Yang Ling, can't be so rude when he sees me. What law did the King of Shu violate? He actually became your prisoner?" Zhu Xianger roared.
Liu Dabangcui quickly put on his face and said solemnly: "The general said that the prince was seriously ill and the prince was captured. The situation was very serious. If there was any disturbance, the Shu area would be full of smoke, which was a major concern. For the prince's safety, before the rebellion in Xuzhou was quelled, the prince's residence was subject to military control. The prince was right, I am just a fool, and I only know how to be a fool. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Zhu Xianger was so angry that she couldn't help but paused, and looked for a step and said, "Okay! Wait, you're a bastard, you're so awesome? You dare to offend me like this. When Yang Ling comes back, the main person in this county kneels down and licks my toes!"
Zhu Binhan was calm under his rule. Although he was a prince, he often dressed lightly and enjoyed the people. He disciplined his son very strictly, and he could not help but indulge in this young daughter. Therefore, Zhu Xianger often sneaked to the folk for fun. When he heard some rude words in the market, he felt very majestic. At this time, he said it casually, but as soon as he spoke, he felt something was wrong, and his tender cheeks suddenly turned red.
Liu Dabangcui looked at this pretty little girl like a flower bud and laughed with a "puff": "I am only responsible for the safety of the prince. If the handsome man likes to lick his feet, I don't care."
Zhu Xianger and a fool were unreasonable. She wanted to scold her and was taken advantage of her. She was so angry that she stopped and turned around and left.
Liu Dabangcui saw that she had walked away as if she had escaped. He smiled, looked down on his face, and ordered to the left and right: "Good job, please take a close look for me, especially such a naughty little rat!"
The guards on both sides held back their laughter and shouted in unison: "Abide by the order!"
The Shu Palace is majestic and spectacular. Due to the wealth of Shu, the Shu Palace is also the largest among the vassal palaces, occupying almost one-fifth of the city of Chengdu. The entire building faces north and south, with halls and lofts everywhere, and is magnificent. The gardens are exquisite and beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water. The birds sing and the fragrance of flowers are simply a fairyland on earth. Among them, the "Chrysanthemum Well Qiuxiang" is known as one of the eight major landscapes in Chengdu, but there are very few people who have the chance to see it.
Outside this magnificent palace garden, there is a palace city, with an imperial river leading to the Jin River surrounding it. Outside the imperial river, there is a brick city called Chongcheng. There is a pavilion on the east and west sides of the palace gate. The east pavilion is called Longyin, and the west pavilion is called Tiger Xiao.
Such a huge building was used as the imperial city of Daxi after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu in the late Ming Dynasty. When he was defeated and left, Zhang Xianzhong did not want this luxurious palace to fall into the hands of the Qing people, and burned the imperial city to pieces with a torch.
At this time, Zhu Rangjin and Tuoba Yanran slowly walked in the palace. The scenery beside him was beautiful, the sound of birds was pleasant, and the autumn wind was refreshing, bringing the fragrance of chrysanthemums. Tuoba Yanran whispered: "I went to Xuzhou and be careful of everything. Now that the prince is in the hands of Duzhangman, your situation is the most embarrassing. If you blindly ask for peace and stop the army and damage the court's dignity, not only will the imperial envoy not be happy, but the officials of Bashu will inevitably be dissatisfied. But if you advocate sending troops, you will inevitably be suspected of taking the opportunity to kill the prince. Seeking for glory and wealth. Alas, silence is gold, so you can speak less without opening your mouth."
Zhu Rangjin wore an arrow sleeve robe today, and his lips were red and white, and his teeth were elegant. After hearing Tuoba Yanran's words, he laughed loudly: "Yanran is too worried. My Zhu Rangjin is open-minded. What kind of wealth and glory is just a passing cloud. My father gave it to me. I still think it is difficult for people to restrain him. But now my brother is trapped in the hands of those barbarians. Those are the brothers and sisters of my compatriots. I have to find a way to save him. What others say. Why should I care?"
Tuoba Yanran gave him a pretty look and said angrily: "You, you do your own thing and have a bad temper. Otherwise, based on your talent, how could the prince not like you? You must know how to restrain yourself."
Zhu Rangjin shook his head and chuckled, "I admire Brother Wang's talent and character very much. Why do you appreciate me but don't like Brother Wang? Isn't it because I have a flamboyant personality and do my own things, not as serious and reserved as Brother Wang?"
Tuoba Yanran smiled at it, shook her head and sighed, "You, you...", but her expression was full of joy. It was obvious that Zhu Rangjin had hit her mind.
She thought for a while and said, "Since you go to Xuzhou, I'm not interested in Chengdu. I've returned to Xiaojinchuan in the past two days. Have the affairs of the royal palace been arranged?"
Zhu Rangjin smiled and said, "I don't need to worry about the matter of the royal palace. The day after tomorrow, the butler came back from Shaanxi. His father was recuperating. When the king's brother was not here, he would handle the affairs of the royal palace."
Tuoba Yanran said unhappily: "These rules are really inexplicable. They are also the sons of the King of Shu. The eldest son can take charge of the entire palace on behalf of the prince, but you can't even touch any affairs, and you have to avoid suspicion everywhere. You are not allowed to enter the Yin'an Palace, but I just sit in my father's seat whenever I want. It's really annoying to think about it."
Tuoba Yanran held a frustration for him, but Zhu Rangjin looked happy and laughed: "Isn't this good? I'm not bad at all? I'm not bad at all. I really let me do those things, manage the daily affairs of the royal palace, and manage the salt wells and mulberry fields, iron ore and silver mountains. Do you like it?"
"No," Tuoba Yanran curled her lips disdainfully and shook her head, "I don't want it. Zhu Rangjin is a dragon and phoenix among people. How can she get involved in those common things?"
Zhu Rangjin was so excited by her praise that she couldn't help but shave her nose intimately and smiled: "You, your father doesn't give me those things. You think your father is neglecting me. If you give me the words, you think that those mundane things have bound me. Haha, women are so conflicted."
Tuoba Yanran raised his pretty face and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to say: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they are not rude, and if they are far away, they are resentful. The ancients did not deceive me?"
Zhu Rangjin laughed and said, "You are suspicious again. What do I mean by that?"
"It must be!" Tuoba Yanran's willfulness came up again: "No wonder you looked like Jiangnan Dai Xiaolou and praised him endlessly. A woman like her is well-behaved and smart, and she is the best at making men happy. If you want to go east, she dare not say anything. If you are lucky enough to climb up your high branch, you will only be able to make honey in your mouth. How could you say this or that..."
Zhu Rangjin's handsome face suddenly collapsed: "My God, it's starting again. Yanran's face is like the sky in Yunnan. It changes as soon as it says. Who knows what words she doesn't like? Silence is gold. Well! Silence is gold."
Tuoba Yanran talked for a long time, and when he saw him not saying a word, he couldn't help but vent his anger: "You are guilty, aren't you? Otherwise, why don't you say a word?"
Zhu Rangjin said helplessly: "What are you guilty? I mean, my good deeds are beautiful and delicate, which makes people unable to understand and guess..."
"You are still quibbling!"
Zhu Rangjin quickly kept silent again.
At this moment, a laugh said, "Haha. Miss Tuoba is bullying the Second Prince again? In this world, only you can punish him so much that he is speechless."
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black narrow sleeves and lace-edged right-breasted top and pleated wide-leg trousers, laughing and laughing. A woman following behind her was a similar dress but brightly colored woman wearing a cockscomb hat.
The man had a strand of hair about three inches long on his head, called "Tian Bodhisattva". He also wrapped his head in blue and blue cotton cloth, leaving a high sharp corner on his left forehead, called a hero knot. He was threaded with needles on his left ear and wore a huge gold earring. Although the weather was still very hot at this time, the man was wearing a thick felt like a cloak-like cloak on his shoulder, which was decorated with Yi people.
He was much older than Zhu Rangjin, about thirty years old. However, the Yi people thought that no need to beautify, and they pulled them out one by one from their long beards, so their jaws were smooth and they looked much younger.
Zhu Rangjinru saw the savior and hurriedly greeted him happily and said, "Jipan Wasi, my good brother, you finally arrived in time." As he said that, he hugged him, and then smiled and said hello to the Yi woman behind him. That was Vaissi's wife Jiguaga.
Jiguaga is covered with felt and has a pleated long skirt underneath. Because her husband Jipanwasi is the son of the toast, his status is noble. Therefore, according to the rules that the more noble the identity is, the more dense the skirt is, the long skirt is covered with layers of wrinkles, and at the same time, she is tightly mopping the ground, and dust is flying when walking, which shows that her status is precious.
"I received your news and rushed over day and night. Good brother. Do you want me to help if you have anything?" Jipanwasi said to Zhu Rangjin with a smile.
Jipanwasi and Tuoba Yanran also knew each other, so they smiled and said hello. He had a serious illness a few years ago, and the tribe's witch doctor was not cured. He was about to die. Zhu Rangjin, who happened to wander here, asked his doctor to treat him with him. The Yi people were heroic and had kindness to repay him. From then on, they regarded Zhu Rangjin as a brother of a different surname.
Zhu Rangjin briefly explained the matter and said, "I know you have been to Lingxiaocheng and Jiusizhai to do business with them. You must know the path to the mountain. Brother Wang is now trapped in their hands. If he relies on the court's army to attack, Brother Wang will definitely lose his life. That's why I hope you can walk with me and act according to the opportunity, and maybe have the opportunity to save my brother Wang."
When Jipanwasi heard the face of a difficult face, hesitated for a while before whispering: "Good brother, I don't know the news that your brother was arrested, but the things that the barbarians and the court have been against the court have spread in all mountains and villages. Most of the chieftains have......cough, if I come forward to help you, our tribe will be isolated..."
Zhu Rangjin lowered his eyebrows, sighed softly, patted his shoulder and said, "I understand that Jeongjin won't make things difficult for his brother. I'll find another way, don't make things too difficult."
Jipanwasi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you, but... I can't show up publicly. Give me a set of Han lichen clothes, don't let anyone know that Jipanwasi is following you."
Zhu Rangjin was overjoyed and hugged him and said, "This is easy to deal with. Sister-in-law, let's live in the palace first. I must ask someone to take care of my sister-in-law meticulously."
Jipanwasi looked at Tuoba Yanran, and Zhu Rangjin smiled knowingly and said, "Yanran is my confidant, the only confidant, you should be at ease with her."
Although Tuoba Yanran likes to use his little sex with Zhu Rangjin, he still knows how to keep his face in public. He smiled and said with a clever smile: "Yes, don't worry, I haven't seen you couple come to the palace today. Hahaha, you should be relieved like this, Brother Hei."
The officials in Shu always argued that there was no doubt about whether to negotiate peace or fight, recruit or punish. Some officials suggested that they temporarily agree to the conditions of governing the barbarians on the grounds that Shu was difficult to move, and that the Xuzhou was too dangerous. The 200,000 troops could not make a step forward in the past. All the matter was based on the fact that the prince was released, and then Xu Tu made a plan later.
Opponents believed that once they agreed, Duzhangman was in the Xuzhou area, it would be like a prison for painting land, which was like a country in the country. If the court wanted to send troops, it would morally cause passiveness and no name to go out. Moreover, if other chieftain tribes followed suit, there would be no peace in Shu territory for a day, so they should be suppressed and pacified, and they could be granted a lot of money, land and official positions to redeem the prince. At the same time, they would be forced to force Duzhangman to give up too much conditions.
The two sides argued, but a basic consensus was consistent. The Han people withdrew from Xuzhou. It was absolutely impossible to make Duzhanman become a country. Even if the King of Shu agreed, the court would never agree when he heard the news. Duzhanman proposed such excessive conditions. It was probably just to keep it for the court to bargain for the court so that the lion could speak out and ask for a high price.
Yang Ling had long expected that sitting here and discussing unilaterally would not have a result. He deliberately openly discussed politics so much because he first took power, so as not to give people a sense of arbitrary and stubbornness.
He sat on the top, holding the Shangfang sword wrapped in Huang Ling and the seal of the imperial envoy, waiting for the two sides to fight, the imperial envoy slammed the table and decided: "Whether to fight or not, take the lead. Let's discuss a hundred ideas here, and the barbarians must agree. Isn't it just a piece of paper to talk about it here?
Where are the Duzhang barbarians? In the deep mountains and forests of Xuzhou! Your opinions on both sides. This imperial envoy has already recorded it. When you arrive in Xuzhou, you can find out the bottom line of the Duzhang barbarians. This imperial envoy has now announced that the commander Li Sen of the Duzhang army will lead 70,000 troops to set sail immediately.
The place was steep and narrow, and one million troops were sent. Only 20,000 people could directly fight the Duzhan barbarians, and more than 70,000 troops were enough. At the same time, this imperial envoy, the second prince, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, and the governor, Wu, went to Xuzhou. The governor, the governor, the governor, and the supervisor, the governor, remained in Chengdu to take charge of the overall situation.
The people who accompanied him were from the ruling yamen and the prefect of Chengdu. The most important thing was that the second son of the King of Shu also accompanied the army. What else can everyone have to say? So the disputed parties retreated only. Yang Ling looked at it and shouted: "Let's start immediately to set off on Xuzhou. Civil and military officials will perform their duties. If anyone delays the order of this marquis, he will be killed without mercy. Withdrawal!"
The 70,000 troops were mobilized from all places, and military orders were issued. The army went to Xuzhou to stand by on standby. The army set out from Chengdu Prefecture was only 15,000. However, the 5,000 people were also in a mighty way, especially the back team was pulling a cannon, which looked scary, but the local knowledgeable officials and scholars shook their heads:
This imperial envoy thought it was a fight against the Tartars in the north? The residence of the Duzhan barbarians was extremely dangerous, and it was difficult for the soldiers to travel. If these cannons weighing thousands of pounds could be transported into the mountain, it would be a miracle. As for whether they had any effect on the fortresses and the dangers formed by cliffs formed by the world, only God knew it.
Yang Ling didn't care, and didn't care what others thought of him. Since the Ming Dynasty established the country, He Duzhangman had fought a local war like a pair of enemies for more than a hundred years. He didn't know how many famous generals had sent, and the army had sent up at most 250,000 troops, but he had no choice but to do anything about them.
There is no other reason. It is not that the barbarians have sharp weapons, nor that they have great wise men. Although this group of barbarians are brave, they are still a bit exaggerated. If they really fight, 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers will be enough.
The problem is that there are poor mountains and rivers. You can use your famous generals as a god. You have millions of lions under your command. If you really fight, you can only shake the flag and shout the land behind you. Just say that the path of the 30-mile long sheep intestines in front of Jiusi City sent hundreds of people to attack and kill them in the grass and shrubs, and your army will not be able to pass.
The strategies of famous generals and the invincible army, in the face of the power of heaven and earth, and in the face of this masterpiece of magic, could only return in vain. The barbarians who were dressed in rags and who were still in a state of ignorance were free in the mountains.
Yang Ling's goal is to give people an illusion, a illusion that his strategy is no different from other people who have encircled and suppressed the Duzhan barbarians, to look down on his morale. As for Yang Ling's magical tricks and his way of winning, it is still brewing. He needs Liu Biao to use as much information as possible to prescribe the right medicine and come up with a way to deal with it.
During the Song Dynasty, the army had not yet set off for war. The emperor first drew a formation diagram and handed it over to the generals to seize medicine according to the prescription. At that time, no one felt that there was anything wrong with the generals in the army or the officials in the court. However, in Yang Ling's eyes, it was absurd.
When we arrive at the battlefield ahead, the enemy and our troops cannot predict, the battle location cannot be predicted. The enemy's ground tactics cannot predict, morale, military morale, and even weather cannot be predicted. We have to fight according to the ground formation map in advance. How can we be defeated if we are so undefeated?
When the intelligence system was extremely underdeveloped at that time, the generals formulated specific combat strategies and tactics before going to war. Yang Ling believed that it was also irresponsible, so he was not at all uneasy because he was the head coach and the army had no specific strategy to set off. Instead, he took it for granted.
Two days after the army left, three fast horses rushed to Chengdu from the capital. After only a moment of stopping at the imperial envoy's headquarters, they beat the horses like flying and headed straight for Xuzhou.
Yang Ling settled down first when he arrived in Xuzhou. Wu Tongzhi was responsible for military supplies. In the early stage, he was the busiest person. He greeted the imperial envoy and arranged food and supplies by himself.
Li Sen arranged to rush to the local army to set up camps, set up sand tables, learn about the situation of the barbarians in nearby counties, and discuss matters with the generals in the army. He was so busy that he could not make any contact.
When Liu Biao heard that Yang Ling had arrived, he immediately rushed to meet him. When Yang Ling's personal soldiers led him into Yang Ling's tent, Liu Biao saw Yang Ling wearing a gentle white robe and a silk scarf with a graceful hair, and was as elegant as a literati and elegant as a literati, without any general temperament, but behind him was a small school in full military uniform standing.
Liu Biao bowed his hand to Yang Ling and said, "See sir."
"Sit, sit, don't be polite, look at your appearance. I have been working hard these days. Thank you for your hard work. Try this Emei bamboo leaf green, which looks like the West Lake Longjing. The taste is different. First moisten your throat and refresh your spirit."
To be continued...
