Chapter 421: Backtracking
Su Wei and Pei Ju glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on both of their faces, sure enough, this was the case, although they could understand the Shengshang's decision, after all, Donghai County was close to Jiangdu County, and the threat to Jiangdu was too great, and the Shengshang couldn't tolerate Meng Haigong being the Taishou of the East China Sea, but doing so was really a bit untrustworthy, and even reversed.
Yang Guang glanced at Pei Ju, "Pei Gong will make a statement first!" ”
Pei Ju was helpless, so he had to bow down and say: "Last time, Your Majesty said that you would consider this matter in the future, Weichen thought that Your Majesty had given up, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to think about this matter again, does Your Majesty think it is really necessary to transfer Meng Haigong?" ”
"Why is it not necessary!"
Yang Guang stretched his face a little unhappily and said: "Bandits are bandits, they won't change their sex because of my reuse, the reason why I gave up temporarily last time was because I was worried that he would collude with the Jianghuai Du thieves and mess up Donghai County and Jiangdu County, and now the bandits in the Huai River area have been eradicated, he is lonely, just transfer him away, and besides, I will also make him a Taishou, and I will not treat him badly, what's wrong?" ”
Pei Su and both sighed in their hearts, this is not a question of whether they are treated badly or not, but they are not trustworthy, the condition of Meng Haigong's recruitment was to stay in Donghai County, in order to show sincerity, Meng Haigong even disbanded the army, and now it's okay, this Donghai Taishou has only been in office for less than half a year, and he is going to transfer people away, how can this be said?
Su Wei persuaded: "Weichen and Pei Gong will not consider Meng Haigong's feelings, we are worried about His Majesty's credibility, it is better to wait for another half a year, and it will be justified to transfer him early next year." ”
Where can Yang Guang listen to persuasion at this time, he snorted coldly. "Is it so difficult for me to decide something?"
At this point, Pei Ju and Su Wei didn't dare to persuade anymore, and if they continued to persuade them, they would be furious. Pei Ju had no choice but to say: "If Your Majesty must transfer him away, Weichen has no opinion." ”
"What about you? Su Xiangguo! Yang Guang's cold gaze turned to Su Wei again.
"Wechen has no opinion either!"
"Very good, this matter is so decided, transfer Meng Haigong to Wenshan County Taishou."
Su Wei and Pei Ju both smiled bitterly in their hearts, it was just a matter of adjusting to a better place, but from the easternmost to the westernmost, would Meng Haigong be willing to go?
And. They knew the Holy Lord very well, and they didn't mention anything about how to deal with the officials of the Bohai Society, which meant that the matter would eventually be over
The news of the annihilation of Miao Haichao's army shook Jianghuai. No one could have imagined that Zhang Xuan would send troops after only ten days of stationing in Jianghuai, and even less could he have imagined that Miao Haichao's army was so unbearable that the whole army would be wiped out in the first battle, and the shock brought by this result to the Jianghuai people was indescribable.
To the west of Licheng County, near Gangdo County, is a large mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles. It's called Liuhe Mountain. It is also a well-known iron ore mining area and is strategically important.
In the southeast corner of Liuhe Mountain, near a vast mountain near the hidden military camp covering an area of hundreds of acres, here is Du Fuwei's main camp, it is rumored that Du Fuwei is stationed in 36 places, no one knows where his main camp is?
But no one can connect Du Fuwei's main business with the mines, which are not far from the Yangtze River, and on the other side of the Yangtze River is Jiangning County in Danyang County, which is now Nanjing.
After the demise of Nan Chen. Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian burned down the palace of the Six Dynasties, and the rich and prosperous healthy city gradually declined. Replaced by Jiangdu, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties became a small Jiangning County.
Although his main camp did not set up in the city, he also had his own ideas, he regarded Jiangning as his future capital, so his main camp was also located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangning County, with a garrison of 5,000 people.
In the past few days, the soldiers of the battalion have rarely seen the coach Du Fuwei appear, and they all guessed that Miao Haichao's fiasco would be too big a blow to the coach.
Indeed, the annihilation of Miao Haichao's army gave Du Fuwei a heavy blow, and it also meant that his forces along the Huai River were pulled out, although Du Fuwei thought of this result, but he did not expect this day to come so quickly, Zhang Xuan was stationed in Jianghuai only ten days later.
In the big tent, Du Fuwei was drinking alone, and several soldiers next to him did not dare to persuade him, the lord's mood was too bad these days, if he angered him, he would draw his sword and kill.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and some soldiers reported outside the tent: "General Qiyu, the former general is here!" ”
The former general is Fu Gongyi, and he is also Du Fuwei's closest comrade-in-arms, Du Fuwei's spirits lifted, his heart was swept away, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and invite the auxiliary general in!" ”
Fu Gong Yi and Du Fu Wei is a neck friend, Du Fu Wei was sixteen years old was pulled into the water by Fu Gong Yi as a thief, today although Du Fu Wei laid down the Jianghuai this world, but everyone knows, without the help of Fu Gong Yi, Du Fu Wei could not have come to this day, although Fu Gong Yi is only a former general, but in fact he is the second lord after Du Fu Wei, not a subordinate.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Fu Gongqi walked quickly into the big tent, only to see that he was about forty years old, with dark skin, a burly figure, a big head like a bucket, a wide mouth and a lion's nose, and an extraordinarily rough appearance, which was in stark contrast to the slender and cold Du Fuwei.
Fu Gongyi was almost choked by the strong smell of wine in the big tent, he frowned, and ordered the soldiers left and right: "Don't take the wine away quickly!" ”
Several pro-soldiers hurriedly took the wine glasses and wine jugs away, and Fu Gongqi opened the curtain again, letting out the smell of wine, Du Fuwei smiled bitterly: "Why should the eldest brother be like this? ”
"Drinking and drowning your sorrows at the slightest frustration, is this what the big husband does?"
Du Fuwei knows this big brother's temper very well, the more he talks back, the more stern he becomes, and his temper is gone if he admits his mistakes, Du Fuwei hurriedly got up and saluted, "The eldest brother is right, and the younger brother knows that he is wrong." ”
Fu Gongqi nodded, sat down opposite Du Fuwei, and said to him: "I went to the Huai River in the past few days to check the defeat of Miao Haichao, and the result made me very angry. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Duvowe asked with concern, "How did he lose?" ”
Fu Gong Qi snorted heavily, "Miao Haichao is a complete idiot, not so much that he was defeated by the Sui army, but that he was defeated by his own stupidity. ”
Du Fuwei was stunned, "How do you say this?" ”
Fu Gongqi gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "He once lured Gongsun Shangzhe into introducing reeds to attack with fire in Yancheng, so that Gongsun Shangzhe's entire army was annihilated, and he never forgot this kind of carving insect technique, and this time he wanted to repeat the old trick and use the exact same method to lure Zhang Xuan, but he didn't know that Zhang Xuan had already seen him through, and he would be annihilated in one fell swoop."
Without waiting for Fu Gongyi to finish speaking, Du Fuwei suddenly said angrily: "How did I explain him? Let him hide and avoid the limelight of the Sui army, he actually has to fight against the Sui army! ”
Fu Gongyi sighed, "He is indeed very stupid, just hide in the water, and deliberately expose his whereabouts, so that Zhang Xuan knows that he is in the water, but Zhang Xuan led the army to kill him in the water, and even I had to sigh, this is called the heaven is evil, and I can't live if I do it!" ”
Du Fuwei didn't expect Miao Haichao to disobey his military order again, he also thought that Zhang Xuan had found out the clues of Miao Haichao, so he killed all the way to Miao Haichao's hiding place, it turned out that he was self-inflicted.
Du Fuwei was so angry that his chest was about to explode, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, he should have thought that Miao Haichao would not be able to swallow the breath of Huaihe's defeat, and he should have sent someone to keep an eye on him, speaking of which he was also responsible for this matter, he should have thought of it a long time ago.
Du Fuwei's anger slowly subsided, and he pondered for a long time and said: "We must learn the lessons of Miao Haichao and not repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”
Fu Gongqi nodded, "This is what I want to discuss with you, didn't the general find a big loophole in the deployment of our army?" ”
"You're saying our forces are too scattered?" Du Fuwei immediately understood what Fu Gongyi meant.
"Isn't it?"
Fu Gongyi stared at Du Fuwei with blazing eyes, "Although our troops are numerous, they are scattered in more than a dozen places, and they are easy to be broken by the Sui army, and more importantly, the troops are too scattered to weaken the general's ability to control, such as Miao Haichao, the root cause of his total annihilation this time is that he did not listen to the command and acted without authorization, why is this happening, because he does not regard the general as the lord in his bones, he feels that he is the lord of the Huai River." ”
Fu Gong Yi's words were in Du Fuwei's heart, but in fact, he was not willing to do this, and the main reason for the dispersion of today's troops was that he and Fu Gong Yi were outsiders.
The two fled from Qi County and continued to annex many sporadic bandits in Jianghuai, and although these bandits promised to serve him as the master, they were unwilling to leave the place under their control and were unwilling to give up their army, and in the end Du Fuwei could only compromise.
Miao Haichao is a typical example, before his future Jianghuai, Miao Haichao was a bandit active on the Huai River, Miao Haichao surrendered his condition was to continue to control the Huai River, at that time Miao Haichao still had more than 10,000 people, and he also wanted to control the Huai River through Miao Haichao, so he agreed to his conditions, but he did not expect to finally bury the bane of Miao Haichao's flying and domineering and disobeying military orders.
However, how difficult it is for Du Fuwei to change the situation of the army being stationed in various places now, because this involves the interests of too many people, and will inevitably meet with the unanimous opposition of many subordinates.
Du Fuwei also sighed, "Let me think about this matter again!" ”
He had to come up with a perfect solution to this problem, and although he knew that this change would affect the vital interests of many people, no matter how difficult it was, he had to change. (To be continued.) )
