Huang Lie understood. If a hundred thousand war horses were used as food and fodder, they would be like food and fodder that had grown legs and followed them around. It did not require a lot of manpower and material resources to transport, but it could also serve as leg power and assist in the battle. It was really wonderful, and I couldn't help but He clicked his tongue and praised: "Commander Meng is worthy of being Commander Meng. He uses his troops like a god on the battlefield. I have seen it today."
Meng Shanming shook his head, "This is not my idea, it is the prince's strategy."
"Prince?" Huang Lie was stunned for a moment, with a suspicious look on his face, seemingly saying, could Shang Chaozong come up with such a wonderful idea
Meng Shanming understood what he meant, and said slowly after thinking about it: "When the prince just came of age, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield, but it was only obscured by the late king and the old man. Before I retired, the prince used only a few troops to How can it be child's play to fight Zhou Shouxian and easily capture Qingshan County?"
Huang Lie was startled again, and nodded slightly thoughtfully.
Meng Shanming sighed softly as he spoke, "I have worked hard to create a heroic and heroic guard. For the cavalry, the war horse is half of one's life. The thought of killing the war horse has never occurred to me... The prince was also forced to have no choice. He could not watch the defeat of Dayan, and the court had to defend it, so he had to keep the back-up force! The war horse was not the strength of Nanzhou, but the soldiers had their wives, children, and children to go back to face, and the war horse No need... I hope, I hope I won’t do that unless I have to!”
Huang Lie nodded to express his understanding, but he did not have as deep feelings for the war horse as Meng Shanming. He just expressed his understanding and said: "It must be Commander Meng's idea not to suppress the rebels but only the princes, right?"
Meng Shanming smiled bitterly: "It's not really an idea, it's just a strategy."
Huang Lie was puzzled, "Niu Youdao told me that this is a secret, why should it be disclosed in advance?"
Meng Shanming explained: "The Cangzhou rebels are quietly watching the changes, and there is no movement yet. This is to shake their morale before the battle! However, the troops of the five princes have been defeated one after another, and the morale of the army is shaken like child's play. I am afraid that once they go to the battlefield, they will be shaken again. To keep the thought of escaping and refuse to use force, Mingzheng Military Law is precisely to tell them that this time is not a child's play, to stop their thoughts of escaping before the battle, it can also be said to boost morale!"
Huang Lie groaned and finally understood. He was not good at fighting in the army. If I didn't say it, I really wouldn't understand.
He accidentally saw Gongsun Bu leading two disciples out of the tent not far away, and knew that this man was trying to convey the status of the army to Niu Youdao in a timely manner. "I got the news that Niu Youdao has already left the Thatched Cottage. With his reliance on coming and going, it stands to reason that he should have arrived a long time ago. Why has he not been seen yet? How could he not take it seriously and not follow the army in such a battle? Meng Shuai Do you know where he went?"
"Headmaster Huang asked me?" Meng Shanming seemed a little dumbfounded. He shook his head and sighed, "This Taoist master has always acted in a fog. He has always refused to see the truth until the end. No one can figure him out. What exactly do you want to do, and I don’t know who to go to to ask about his whereabouts.”
Speaking of this, Huang Lie now has a deep understanding of it. Damn it, the Nanzhou army went out to suppress the rebellion, and that bastard actually hid the truth from Dachan Mountain. Shan went to the battlefield and fought tooth and nail, which scared the entire Dachan Mountain senior management. When they first heard the news, they panicked the entire Dachan Mountain group on the spot.
For that matter, I was helpless after thinking about it. No one on the Dachan Mountain could understand what the guy wanted to do. He was trying to get the military rations from the imperial court, and he was flirting with Han and Song Dynasty. Who was it? It turned out that the purpose of going around in circles was to force the imperial court to give military power to quell the rebellion.
To be honest, Huang Lie didn't really understand the specific process until now. He always felt that there was something wrong somewhere, but Dachanshan just believed that guy and hurriedly followed him to the battlefield. Fight hard.
Thinking about it, he felt confused and strange, but he still believed in that guy and believed that this battle would be won. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and turned around and saw Gamiaoshui again.
In the Chinese army's tent, Ga Miaoshui slowly walked out with a disappointed look on his face, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Don’t suppress the rebels, only suppress the princes! How come no one in the imperial court thought of such a simple method? The imperial court can organize a group of such people from various states to do this, so there is no need to look at Nanzhou's face.
However, when I thought about it again, I realized that I was overthinking it. There were some things that people in Nanzhou dared to do, but people in the court might not dare to do.
Do the troops gathered in various state capitals dare to wage war against the princes? Who dares to come up with such an idea, and which general dares to shoulder such a responsibility? It is the people behind the five princes who are offended. Even if you pass the current hurdle, who will not worry about retaliation later
Wanting to understand the reason, he could only sigh up to the sky and leave quickly, quickly reporting the news to the court...
After the troops who came from Nanzhou to participate in the counter-rebellion gained the power of their mounts and legs, they were coming one after another towards Shang Chaozong to assemble.
Not all of the 100,000 men and horses came to assemble. One of them took the order and participated in escorting the 50,000 carts of grain and grass. This was a necessity to feed the army after the war between the enemy and ourselves.
…
In Beizhou Fucheng, from a window on a high tower, Peng Zai was looking at the entire Fucheng.
Feng Entai went up to the tower and walked to the window, "Brother, it's confirmed, Nanzhou is indeed going to suppress the rebellion."
Peng was silent for a while and said slowly: "Now it seems that leaving Nanzhou may not be a bad thing."
Feng Entai understood what he meant, but he was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, because things were too twists and turns.
When Tianyumen was kicked out of Nanzhou and came to Beizhou, they could be said to have hated Niu Youdao so much. In terms of the situation at that time, Beizhou was not as good as Nanzhou. Once they arrived, they would face a confrontation with the Korean army. situation, but there was no other way, he was forced to do nothing, and due to the situation, he couldn't take any action to cause trouble for Niu Youdao.
Later, when they learned that Niu Youdao had been assassinated, they were very happy and cheered.
Who would have thought that as soon as they turned around, the Nanzhou troops directly captured the territory of the three counties of Dingzhou, thus expanding the territory of the three counties, and the imperial court actually acquiesced
So some people regretted it, saying why Dachanshan can get along well with Niu Youdao, but we can't get along. Otherwise, the interests of these three counties belong to our Tianyumen, and we don't have to be driven to Beizhou.
Many people did regret this at the time.
Who would have thought that before the regret was over, another rebellion broke out within the Yan State. Now Nanzhou sent troops to suppress the rebellion. Anyone with bright eyes knew the dangers involved. Tianyumen hid in Beizhou, at least they escaped first. One calamity.
Such misfortunes and blessings have happened repeatedly. Nanzhou has been at the forefront of the storm recently. Feng Entai really doesn't dare to be happy too early. He feels that his senior brother's confidence in being happy seems to have been somewhat lacking. It seems that he is just It's just self-comfort for the decision to go against Niu Youdao.
He also sighed in his heart, that cheap sworn brother really made him don't know what to say and couldn't calm down.
…
In the Imperial Palace of Yanjing at night, the imperial study room is brightly lit.
Shang Jianxiong was at his desk reviewing the memorials. To a certain extent, Shang Jianxiong was indeed a diligent emperor. He also wanted to prove to everyone in Dayan that he was a good emperor. However, no matter how diligent he was, Dayan was always confused. General air leakage.
"Instead of suppressing the rebels, only suppress the princes?"
Tian Yu was holding the report from Gamiaoshui and reciting it. He heard that Nanzhou only sent out 100,000 horses. The 400,000 horses reported before were just a cover-up. The purpose was to deceive the war horses and also to let the state capitals along the way provide them. Shang Jianxiong had already stopped writing when one hundred thousand people needed sufficient supplies on the way.
When he heard that Shang Chaozong had strictly enforced military laws, Shang Jianxiong raised his head in shock and asked.
After reading the report, Tian Yu put down the things in his hands, bowed slightly and said: "Yes, Nanzhou's 100,000-strong army only serve as law enforcement and supervisors. They do not suppress the rebels, but only suppress the princes. They propose the method of four annihilations. If the princes and horses dare to Anyone who disobeys the order to suppress the rebellion will be treated as a rebel, and the Nanzhou army will annihilate them wherever they resist the order!"
After Shang Jianxiong thought about it and understood the profound meaning, he slowly put down his pen and slowly leaned on the back of the chair, with an indescribable expression on his face.
His expression was extremely complicated, with sudden realizations, approval, and flashes of sadness and anger.
After a long time, Shang Jianxiong suddenly sneered, "Show it to those three people! Show the report to those three people, let them look back and see how cheap their three major sects are. If they shout not to leave, do they have to do it?" They won't leave until they are whipped, what a bunch of bitches!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the daily reports from the Intelligence Department that he had seen in the capital, and the comments of the people in the capital who were looking forward to the success of the Shang Dynasty clan's rebellion.
According to later news from the Intelligence Department, similar remarks not only caused waves in the capital, but also throughout Dayan.
Of course he wanted to see the counter-rebellion succeed, but he couldn't talk about the struggle and pain in his heart. Back then, too many people said that the throne did not belong to him. He wanted to prove that those were all rumors. If people thought that he was not even as good as Prince Ning's son, How embarrassing it is for him!
In a courtyard in the palace, the leaders of the three factions were sitting around a pavilion drinking, always sharing the news they learned with each other.
The report that Tian Yu asked the people below to send was also delivered at this moment.
Long Xiu was the first to take over the viewing. After reading it, he remained motionless for a long time, his eyes seemed to be glued to the contents of the report.
Seeing him losing his composure, Meng Xuan asked, "What's going on?"
Long Xiu retaliated and threw it to him.
After receiving it, Meng Xuan opened it and took a look, his expression gradually froze.
Gong Lince, who held the wine glass to his lips, glanced at Long Xiu, then at Meng Xuan, and finally looked back at the eunuch who had brought the gift and asked, "What's going on?"
The eunuch leaned forward and said, "I don't know, but the general manager asked me to wait for the reply from the three masters. I asked the three military masters in the report whether they can agree?"
Long Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I thought that guy had changed his temper and really wanted to fight to the death. After making trouble for a long time, he still forced the five princes to fight."
what's the situation? Gong Lince couldn't stand it any longer. He reached out and snatched the things from Meng Xuan's hand. He quickly looked to see what was going on. It didn't matter if he didn't look. He was stunned when he saw it. He muttered to himself, "We won't suppress the rebels." , only suppress the princes..."
