12. The Supreme Guilty Edict
Jiang is really old and spicy, Duan Xiushi opened his mouth, and asked Huo Zhongtang and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that Fengxiang Yin Zhang Zhonglang was killed." ”
Huo Zhongtang was taken aback, and he didn't even know what to say.
Duan Xiushi's face was solemn, and he said that it was, now that Li Chulin is in full swing, the Huangyang City guarded by Wei Gao is very dangerous, if Li Chulin is allowed to succeed, then Fengxiang and Longzhou will all rebel, so that the Fengtian City where His Majesty lives is surrounded by enemies, but it will be dangerous.
Therefore, we must first level Jingyuan, and then take Fengxiang, and take Qiyang as the place of His Majesty's rejuvenation.
Huo Zhongtang's face was full of expressions, I can understand, but I can't explain it to His Majesty.
At this time, it was Gao Yue's turn to make a decision, saying that we might as well compromise:
I asked Hou Lan to lead 2,000 soldiers first, escort 5,000 stone of grain in the city of 100 miles, and enter Fengtian City to strengthen His Majesty's momentum first, and I will write a note to explain to the Holy Lord.
After all, Huo Zhongtang was familiar with Gao Yue, and after thinking about it, he said yes, I will also go back and say a few words for you, third brother.
Before leaving, Gao Yue took Huo's hand, and asked if the other party's family had any needs in Fengtian City, and asked in a low voice: What have Your Majesty been discussing with Master Hanlin in the city these days?
Huo Zhongtang's expression was cautious, and after seeing that there was no one, he said to Gao Yue: "Jiang Gongfu, Lu Jiu and other Hanlin scholars, I hope to let the Holy Lord issue an edict to punish himself......
"Oh?" Gao Yue was a little surprised, "Why is that?" ”
Because the edict of guilt is extremely embarrassing for a feudal emperor, it is not easy to be able to issue an edict in his later years. As for Li Shi, his guilty edict is not the same as that of Han Wu.
Han Wu was confused for a while and did something wrong.
Li Shi is a smart life, and he directly collapsed the world.
Therefore, Lu Zhen strongly suggested that the emperor should issue an edict for his own crimes, not only to give an explanation to the military and people in the world, but also to appease the three towns of Heshuo and Ziqing Pinglu. Lu Zhen said to the emperor that he could no longer make enemies on all sides as before, and now the big troubles are Li Huaiguang, Li Xilie and Zhu Zhu, and Wei Bo Town and Ziqing Town are self-defended thieves, as long as His Majesty pardons them with an edict and let them settle down and stop making trouble, they can resume Cao Yun, so that the court can concentrate on pacifying the two Li and one Zhu first.
"But how can the Holy Lord stand it?" Gao Yue sighed and said to Huo.
He knows Li Shi's character too well, and this operation is equivalent to Li Shixian saying to Tian Yue, Zhu Tao, Wang Wujun and Li Naxian: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”
Then the four said, "It's good to know what's wrong!" ”
The Emperor replied, "Then I will forgive you, and you will also forgive me." ”
"Yes, compare each other's hearts in the future."
Isn't Li Shi's previous cutting of the feudal domain equivalent to being completely denied?
This is a great shame for Li Shi.
Huo Zhongtang shook his head and said to Gao Yue that the Holy Lord was also helpless, and now that the situation had reached this point, it could not be solved by acting rashly.
Then Huo told Gao Yue that the Hanlin scholars were preparing to persuade the Holy Lord to borrow troops from Xifan.
"What!" This request made Gao Yue furious.
This can be regarded as touching Gao Yue's bottom line, "There are soldiers and horses in the three towns of Jingyuan, Fengxiang and Shuofang, and there are soldiers from Shu and Shannan as backups, why should you borrow troops from Xifan!" ”
The reply was received that the Hanlin scholars thought that the Western soldiers were excellent, and the burden of using the official army was too heavy.
These words made Gao Yue speechless, and after being annoyed, he calmed down his head, and had to admit that this group of Hanlin Bachelors actually had seven points of truth in what they said.
I can't afford to use my own soldiers now, rations, clothing, out-of-bounds food, equipment and equipment, everywhere has to burn money, but in the end the soldiers complained that the court was cold to them, and the court was worried about where the military expenses came from, it was impossible to increase the number of troops, and it was impossible to sell the troops.
It's better to use foreign soldiers!
Gao Yue inquired, the condition was naturally that Tang and Xibo demarcated, and Li Shi was ready to throw Helong and the Western Regions to Xifan.
"No, you can't ......" Gao Yue did not forget the words of King Fenyang before he died.
From the Green Mountains to Taibai Mountain, the 7,500-mile-long splendid rivers and mountains, every inch of oases, every inch of mountains, every inch of post roads, every inch of rivers, and even every inch of sand moraine, are all the merits of our ancestors soaked in glory and blood, how can they be so lost in vain?
But he blushed and didn't say half a word to Huo Zhongtang, but silently pressed it in his heart, "No matter what, the regrets of Yuan Zai, Yang Yan and Guo Ziyi, I will take them over and use practical actions to eliminate them all." ”
After sending Huo Zhongtang away, Duan Xiushi and Gao Yue hurriedly pulled out their camp and marched north to Jingzhou City (Anding).
Facts have proved that if the negative interference of the emperor's micro-manipulation can be eliminated, Gao Yue's strategy is no problem, and the prestige of Duan Xiushi and the favorable situation of Liangyuan's victory in the pacification army will be unimpeded all the way.
The first to return to obedience was Lianyunbao, in which the generals Zhang Yufei and Liu Guoguang did not say a word, and brought hundreds of elite soldiers to greet them, and Duan Xiushi appointed two young generals to guide them and went straight to Jingzhou City.
There was no siege battle at all, and the city of Jingzhou was opened.
The day before, when the Zhenfu army was approaching the city, Qiu Jingzhong, the old general Zhu Zhu had planted here, gathered hundreds of Fan Yang soldiers, and prepared to seize the Jiazhan Tower in Yacheng at night.
But Shi Fu, the lieutenant official who had already received Gao Yue's secret instructions, led dozens of soldiers to desperately protect the armor tower - Qiu Jingzhong and others were bowless strings, no armor, no swords in their hands, and they didn't fight for a while - they all made Liu Haibin and the soldiers and horses of the Ya make Ma Di quickly lead the troops to suppress it, Qiu Jingzhong was cornered, took the north gate and ran out, was intercepted by Ma Di, was shot two arrows, and even people and horses turned into the moat, and were fished out and beheaded.
Liu Haibin and Ma Di were not as polite as Gao Yue to the rebellious Fan Yang soldiers, and directly killed half of them until the remaining half of their heads were bleeding.
Then Liu Haibin, Ma Di, and the 7,000 battalion soldiers in the city opened the city gate and welcomed the old boss Duan Xiushi to enter.
The whole territory of Jingzhou has been calmed down so far, Duan Xiushi is sitting in the military government of Anding City again, and all the generals in the camp are bowing in front of him, calling him a captain.
"Yao Lingyan and Jiao Bochen lured the soldiers and horses of our camp to rebel, the crime is unforgivable, it is equivalent to meeting on the battlefield, and there is no need to show mercy to your subordinates." Duan Xiushi said with a sword drink.
"Whoa!" The generals will not dare to disobey in the slightest.
Later, Duan Xiushi appointed Liu Haibin as the queen, led 3,000 soldiers to guard Anding City, and appointed Ma Di as his marching Sima, Zhang Yufei as the Marquis of Zhongyu, and Liu Guoguang as the envoy of Youyi, at this time he and Gao Yue's Tian Shi and Fan soldiers were combined, and there were enough mobile troops of about 20,000 people, "But the south will attack Li Chulin with Wei Gao, and recover Fengxiang Mansion." ”
At this moment, another exciting news came: Gao Yue's Taishan Lingzhou Metropolitan Governor, Shuofang Jiedu Envoy Cui Ning, and Xia, Sui, Yin, Qing and other prefectures Du Xiquan, Du Congzheng, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty, will ride 15,000 steps, and recruit thousands of soldiers such as the Nanshan Party and the Liufu Party, cross the Hengshan and Wuding River, and go south out of the Gyeongju Road.
Duan Xiushi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Gao Yue to greet him.
