Chapter 740: Liu Xu's Discordant Serial Scheme
When the news spread quickly to all directions the next day through the post road, the communication division and the Yingyang channel, the entire Northern Dynasty was once again shaken and cheered everywhere.
When Liu Xing's series of in-depth reform decrees on the currency industry and the indoctrination camp reached Guangnan West Road, Zhong Xiang was sighing one after another with a sad face.
"General Liu! I just want a support army, and I just want Brother Yang to return to my command. How, how did Liu Xing hook up Xiongshan and Brother Yang together? When the division general is here that day, how can we wait for things to happen! Looking at Liu Xu, who was sitting beside him, Zhong Xiang opened his mouth with a sad face.
Hearing his words, Liu Xu said with a frown: "If Liu Xing's house is only considered to enhance the combat power of Guangnan West Road, this matter is still a good thing. But if he knows about the conspiracy between Dashuai and us, I'm afraid that Dashuai will just sit back and wait if he doesn't make a decision early. ”
"How to make a decision, General Liu, how do you let me make a decision?"
Hearing Liu Xu's words, Zhong Xiang became even more helpless and said: "Now as soon as the Xiongshan people enter this Guangnan West Road, they will immediately send out the troops of their town and distribute them to the seven state capitals in the mountains to the west, and quickly take the military and political power there into their hands. ”
At this point, he became a little angry, and Zhong Xiang continued: "What I didn't expect was that although that Yang Mi came to my side, he refused to lead troops to continue south from the northeast in the name of not being ordered by me in the name of being equal to the rank of knight. Without his elites, if I do anything, how can I deal with the Xiongshan people who are recruiting and trading on a large scale? ”
As soon as Xiongshan people entered Guangnan West Road, they immediately grasped the military and political power of the seven state capitals in the west quickly, and he held Liu Xing's secret order in his hand.
Yang Mi refused to obey Zhong Xiang's orders again. That's because Liu Xing ordered him to go south to help Guangnan West Road at the same time. Two appointments were also made.
First line of appointment. Ren Zhongxiang was the governor of Guangxi and the commander-in-chief of Guangxi's military administration. He was awarded a third-class Golden Tripod Medal and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guilin.
This appointment of Liu Xing is to salute first and then soldier, but in combination with the second appointment, it seems to be ringing the bell. That means: I'll give you three points of color first, and if you dare to think about opening a dyeing shop, then the second appointment is to kill you at any time.
What kind of special move? That is, Liu Xing appointed Yang Mi as the governor of Guangxi and the political envoy of the cloth, awarded the title of squire of the military department, and made him a first-class Fuxing marquis. Yang Qin was appointed as the Guangxi patrol envoy, awarded the rank of Lang of the Ministry of Troops, and named him a first-class Fu Ningbo. Zhang Biao, a general under Yang Qi, was appointed as the envoy of Guangxi, awarded the rank of Lang of the Ministry of Troops, and awarded him the title of Dingxingbo.
These three people, they are all people from Tiancewei. Although Zhong Xiang didn't know the background of these three people's heavenly policies, he clearly felt the meaning of Liu Xing's beating, which was clearly telling him: The rights under the hands given to you by the master are all distributed to Yang Mi and his command, if you are not honest, I guarantee that Yang Mi will be the first to clean you up in order to sit on the throne of the governor of Guangxi.
Shibei was impressed for three days, and today's Yang Mi is no longer the Yang Mi who fought side by side with Zhong Xiang in Hunan a year ago. Yang Mi's subordinates at that time. There are only 350,000 soldiers and horses, and the equipment is mainly semi-firearms combined with cold weapons.
But now? The 30,000 horses that Yang Mi left in Jiangxi were all equipped with a large number of artillery and firearms. He took with him 45,000 men who went south, all armed with firearms.
If it was just a difference in the number of firearms and equipment, what made Zhong Xiang's heart flutter the most was that Yang Qi actually made an elite fire cavalry of 5,500 people.
As soon as the fire cavalry comes out, the fortified city can be broken and the strong formation is like an egg. Although his subordinates have now grown to 180,000 people, Zhong Xiang knows very well that even if these 180,000 people go together, they may not be enough for the 5,000 or so fire cavalry to fight for ten days.
The disparity in strength is too great, and there are 60,000 Xiongshan people who followed the "Heavenly General" from Dongchuan all the way to fight in Hubei and Hunan, and the more elite Dongchuan soldiers who fought all the way were there, and Zhong Xiang was so worried that his two eyebrows were squeezed together......
See him like that. Liu Xu, who also knew all this, suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He looked at Zhong Xiang, stood up and said with a smile: "The marshal actually doesn't have to be so depressed, Yang Mi is the governor of Guangxi and has the rank of squire of the military department." What about the Bear Mountain people? The Admiral of Hunan is so old. But he did not have the rank of squire of the military department. If the big marshal skillfully uses a strategy to separate the two, it means that you don't have to do anything for the time being, and you don't seem to have to worry too much that the two will attack our army from the east and west. ”
Yang Mi was added to the rank of squire of the military department and became a first-class marquis.
What about the Bear Mountain people? Although he is also a commander, he does not have the title of squire of the military department, and now he only recruits troops in the west of Guangxi with the special right to open the government given to him by Zong Ze. And he turned out to be a general who didn't even have a title, which made Liu Xu see the opportunity to lure Li and separate Xiong and Yang.
People die for money, and birds die for food, which may not be suitable for a person like Xiongshan who is originally devoted to cultivation. But Liu Xu had already discovered that Xiongshan people were a master who liked to be competitive and competitive, and often had a bullish temper among the five elders of Shenxiao, seven were not satisfied, eight were not angry, and they would pinch each other with their brothers for a little bit of face at every turn.
Liu Xing gave Yang Mi the title and did not give him the title, Liu Xu thought that this was the best opportunity to make use of it.
After listening to him say these words, Zhong Xiang said suspiciously: "If the two of them really have a gap and even friction, they will fight in front of me." At that time, Liu Xing's thief will come to question again, will even my position as governor be easily cut off by him because of his fault? ”
"As long as Xiong and Yang have a conflict, why should the marshal wait for Liu Xing to be held accountable."
When Liu Xu heard his words, a treacherous smile appeared on his face: "As long as Xiong and Yang have a dispute together, the marshal will immediately send the elite soldiers to the headquarters of the two to take over the name of bombing and suppressing the army, and to seize the military power." At the same time, it can also immediately order the two soldiers to go south, and when the two armies are not in harmony and morale is not high, they can go to confront the Jiaozhi people to consume. When it's almost consumed, hey, hey, where is the handsome still afraid of him? ”
A set of exquisite serial strategies, Zhong Xiang listened to Liu Xu's two sets of tactics in a row, and immediately nodded and laughed: "Everyone said that Liu Xing's thief has a peerless national warrior Ma Kuo and a world poison Shihui." I have to be a gentleman, better than the two of them in one. ”
Listening to Zhong Xiang's words of praise, Liu Xu said two sentences of "I dare not be ashamed" on the surface. But deep down, he thought about something else...... (To be continued.) )
