Chapter 723: Brothers turn against each other, Yang Mi sells Zhong Xiang
After listening to Liu Xu's explanation, Zhong Xiang fully understood why his three-day strategy was so ordered.
On the top policy, Zhong Xiang also thinks that Yang Mi is still his brother, although now Yang Mi has disobeyed the order and entered Jiangxi, and directly swept away Cheng Changyu, the deputy head of Jiangnan West Road appointed by King Dekang, fled all the way, and has retreated to several state towns in the northeast corner of Jiangnan West Road.
But it is impossible for Yang Mi to monopolize Jiangnan West Road, because Fuzhou is now in the hands of the Socialist Army. The day after Yang Qin's successful surprise attack on the Xingguo army, three or four powerful Hui Dang and Manichaeism-based sects suddenly appeared on Jiangnan West Road to rebel against King Kang's rule. Today, the southeastern and southwestern states of the Jiangnan West Road controlled by the Hui Party Army and the Jiao Party Army respectively.
With Liu Xing's consistent style of acting, whoever lays more territory may be directly awarded the position of management official from the second rank or even above the second grade.
Obviously, although most of Jiangnan West Road has now fallen under the control of the Northern Dynasty, Yang Qi is also nominally the highest military rank and official position in the Northern Dynasty on Jiangnan West Road. But he still received an order from Zong Ze before he fell ill, ordering him to immediately attack Huainan West Road.
What does this mean? It shows that whether it is Zong Ze or Liu Xing, no matter what, they will not regard Yang Mi, who actually only captured half of Jiangnan West Road by surprise attack with Yang Qin's strategy, as a cronie.
In the same situation, if it is Wu Jue, Yang Yizhong, Wu Lan and Yue Fei who disobey the order to seize Jiangxi, or Liu Ziyu and Liu Xing's brother Liu Kuan.
Liu Xing will not blame, but will praise it. Zong Ze didn't dare to reprimand the strong order, and still forced Yang Mi to give up Jiangnan West Road and think about Huainan West Road to attack.
From the beginning of the army, Zhong Xiang has always regarded Yang Mi as his sibling and established Yang Mi as the number two person in his army. In Zhong Xiang's place, Zhong Xiang thinks that Yang Qi feels full of trust.
Therefore, when Liu Shu finished expounding all his strategies. Zhong Xiang nodded and smiled: "I understand what General Liu meant." Okay, then I will follow your wishes, first give that Liu Xing kid the law to play, and ask him to give an order to coordinate Brother Yang to lead the troops south to defend against the northern invasion of Jiaozhi that may occur at any time......"
……
Zhong Xiang's thoughts are very simple and direct, but unfortunately his thoughts are too simple and direct, and he thinks about everything in the world too self-centeredly.
That night, when he was preparing to leave from Sizhou to return to Bianjing, he recruited 6,000 disciples of the four major sects and the Shandong garrison to go to the banks of the Surabaya River. When I went to use spells and tens of millions of catties of ingredients to temporarily trap that big Pixiu monster. Zhong Xiang privately mobilized an airship that only temporarily landed in Wuzhou to replenish it, and directly sent a handwritten letter to Yang Mi, who was on Jiangnan West Road.
What did Zhong Xiang write in the letter? He didn't read much, and in order to show his closeness, he probably said something like this in his letter: Brother Yang, I know that you have been very happy for you for a while when you laid Jiangnan West Road. I thought that you had laid down the Jiangnan West Road, and with your accumulated military exploits, how could Liu Xing also grant you the governor of Jiangxi?
But you and my brother have seen it. We are not that kid's henchmen, not only did they not give you the position of governor of Jiangxi, but let the old puppet of Zong Ze reprimand and force you to continue to march to Huainan West Road.
Brother Yang, those soldiers under your command are all old brothers who started from Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake with us.
If you go north to fight Huainan West Road, you will definitely lose a lot, because Liu Xing has obviously been using us who are not his cronies as pawns and cannon fodder.
You and I are brothers, come on. Anyway, you have already disobeyed once, and you are not afraid to disobey a second time. Bring your soldiers and horses to Guangnan West Road, and seize this great piece of rivers and mountains with your brother, and then you and my brother will sit on the country together and enjoy the glory of the king and the beautiful life of the emperor and the king.
As long as you lead your troops south. Brother, I promised to help you knock down all the Guangnan East Road after I pacified Quang Nam West Road. Then I will be in the west, and you will be in the east. You and I are divided into territories, why should we be used as cannon fodder by that Liu Xing all the time......
The content of the letter is not much, and Zhong Xiang writes very plainly. But after the letter was delivered to Yang Mi, what was Yang Mi's reaction?
After reading the letter in his hand, Yang Qi was first shocked and then angry.
He looked at Yang Qin, who was successful in the surprise attack, although he was not promoted to the knighthood, but was also ordered by Zong Ze to temporarily grant the acting Jiangxi soldiers and horses to govern and the **** of Zhixing, and looked at it angrily.
After that, Yang Mi shouted loudly: "Mrs. Liu has always distrusted Zhong Xiang's thief. I've always suspected that he had big ambitions and ambitions. But I never imagined that he really had the ambition to rebel against the imperial court and establish himself as a king. You say, how am I going to reply to his letter? Straight mother, can I still write back to such a brother? ”
"Why should the general be angry?" Yang Qin did not speak, and the new military envoy standing beside him. It was also Hao Sheng, who had just been appointed by Zong Ze as the head of Jiangxi's pacification department, who opened his mouth first.
He looked at Yang Qi, who was extremely angry and his face was already flushed, and said: "You are from Tiance Wei, so I don't know about it, so I want to drag you together to go against Taifu and engage in the matter of self-determination as a king by dividing the territory." This matter is so important that it is not appropriate for the general to be arbitrary. The subordinates thought that you should be the eagle and report to the Liang envoy urgently, and let the Taifu make a decision before making a decision. ”
Hao Sheng himself is also a former Tiance Weili who came out of the secret camp in Wutai Mountain. He was very aware of the rules of Tiancewei, and he also made the rules of the new Military Intelligence Department very clear before coming here to take up his post.
Yang Mi can "give the general a foreign order and the king's order" when fighting. Because now that he has really conquered most of Jiangxi, even if Liu Xing blames him in the future, at most he will only offset his merits and demerits, and will not reward or punish.
But if it was Zhong Xiang who pulled Yang Mi to rebel, Yang Mi would make another move to make his own decisions.
Hao Sheng believes that even if Yang Mi makes more military exploits in the future, with the rules of the Military Intelligence Department, he is afraid that he will be dismissed from office sooner or later if he does not die.
Then he was kicked hard by Liu Xing on the buttocks, and he didn't know which wild frontier he was assigned to reclaim the wasteland. Don't think about returning to the Central Plains for the rest of your life, let alone getting the status you have today.
With the same background, Hao Sheng's words only had a beginning, and Yang Mi was immediately able to understand the deep meaning of his words.
Nodding heavily, Yang Qi said: "Yes, Zhong Xiang really thought that Grandpa and I were his brother, but I didn't know that Grandpa and I had already made a heavy oath and swore allegiance to Taifu in this life." Okay, since this Zhong Xiang died by himself, grandpa will put up with him for a few days. When Taifu makes a decision, how Taifu asks him to die, I will definitely not make any more changes to carry it out. ”
When he said these words, Yang Mi didn't think of any feelings about the two of them fighting side by side in the past. On the contrary, as said, I feel that Zhong Xiang is a stupid person who is completely deadly. So he didn't hesitate to let Hao Sheng raise the eagle and send a secret report directly to Liang Xing after the words fell. (To be continued.) )
