"The imperial court's decree is really vicious!" Duan Qin's face was sinking, almost hatred.
In order to save Yecheng, they also sent out soldiers, ran out food, and even sent out the officials who took care of the aftermath. The next step should be to recommend Xianliang, occupy the position of Yecheng, and even let the lord send troops to guard it. Unexpectedly, the "reward" issued by him turned out to be like this!
Promote Yiyan as the general of Anbei, seal off the inner marquis of Guan, and lead the military affairs of Hebei
Where is this reward? It was clearly trying to sow discord and distract the two of them!
Zhang Bin's face is not very good-looking: "The King of the East Sea is still bullying the master. If it is Wang Jun, how dare he do this?"
The purpose of this will is too clear, that is, to lure Yiyan into turning his back on his lord and turn to the imperial court. But on the surface, it's hard to pick the wrong one. Because this is a reward for merit, and the reward is extremely high, it shows that the court did not treat meritorious officials lightly. Such a reward is something the lord will never be able to give. Even strictly calculated, Yi Yan's credit has been suppressed by the lord, and many times he has to divide the credit with others. Comparing the two, no matter how little fame and fortune people are, they will have some dissent.
And this move, even more ruthless, is to unplug the position of the bridgehead in Yecheng. If Yiyan received the reward, he would be the general Anbei sent by Chaotang. He didn't even care about the war in Jizhou. How could he participate in the battle between Bingzhou and Youzhou? And if the resistance is not accepted, Yi Yan must withdraw from Yecheng and leave it to his successor. The well-planned layout will still be disrupted, and this battle will be wasted effort!
What's more terrible is that if he refuses the reward, wouldn't Yi Yan resent the lord in his heart? Such a thorn is placed between the chief ministers, which makes people feel like a light on the back. One bad thing is eccentricity. Yiyan is the leader of the army in Bingzhou, as well as the lord's confidant and love. His status is very sensitive, how can he stand suspicion!
"Donghai King guards against the lord, and it is not for one or two days. It is better for the lord to go to General Xinyi and clarify the importance, he will definitely refuse the reward!" Duan Qin knew Yiyan better after all, and immediately made a decision. Wei Jun can be dismissed, but a general like Yi Yan must not be lost!
Zhang Bin is more concerned about the overall situation: "If you refuse the reward, you can't withdraw from Yecheng immediately. The lord should recommend talents to the court, especially to clarify the importance of Yecheng to the emperor. If you change to an incompetent generation, how can you lose such an important town again? No trouble?"
His plot is more ruthless. While wrestling with the court, he even provoked the relationship between the emperor and the king of the East China Sea. What is self-respect, this is it! With Bingzhou already in control, and with the help of the Tuoba Department behind him, the lord is not the kind of character who can be manipulated by others. Frontier officials should look like frontier officials!
If you want to deal with the lord, at least you have to wait for the King of the East Sea to finish Jingzhou. At that time, Wei County might fall into whose hands, could the imperial court still be able to seize it
The two of you said one sentence to another, trying to find a safe way out of this deadly dead end. However, Liang Feng sat behind the case and was speechless for a long time. Sima Yue's plan was indeed vicious, but he was wrong. Yi Yan is not only loyal to him. And this kind of thinking has become a variable that Duan Qin and Zhang Bin did not expect.
If he gave up Yecheng at this moment and recalled Yiyan, what would he think? How will the two get along? The decision he said that day was to make Yiyan give up. Use time, use distance, use everything that can be relieved. Leaving him in Yecheng was an excellent method. If it weren't for the ulterior motives of the appointment of the imperial court, it would have been a smooth sailing.
However, he was given the title of the imperial court, and he was kept out of the gate, and he was alone in Yecheng. Will that emotion turn to the opposite side? The opposite of love is never giving in or forgetting. but hate. The more you love, the more you hate.
Can he still trust Yiyan? Perhaps in the moment of emotional shake, there is a crack in trust.
Cold sweat broke out on Liang Feng's back. Based on his experience, how could he not know his current situation. He's being attracted to someone he shouldn't be attracted to, becoming preoccupied with gains and losses. Such emotions, on other things, may not be important. But in Bingzhou, and even its own foundation, it immediately became a big problem. How to choose, and the relationship is more than just the two of them
The belly turned a thousand times, but no one could tell. After a long time, Liang Feng finally sighed, "Let Boyuan take over the order."
Duan Qin and Zhang Bin were surprised at the same time: "My lord..."
Liang Feng did not let them continue: "I believe him."
Yiyan was picked up by him, from an ignorant boy to an undefeated warrior. Someone he should never doubt. Since he didn't want to ruin the relationship between the two because of those love, he should return to the original appearance. He believed in him, taught him, used him, and never hesitated.
This trust is the best way to break this insidious situation.
Zhang Bin's reaction was quicker, but he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "If General Yi really won't be squinted by the power, it would be a good idea to let him stay in Yecheng!"
Yeah, there's no better way to go about it! It seems to be parting ways, but it is actually a wedge buried inside. As long as it occurs, it will affect the overall situation! And this kind of cover, I am afraid that others will not expect it, they will only feel that they have succeeded in their tricks and relax their vigilance. This will not only deceive Sima Yue, but even have a little more chance of winning against Wang Jun. Imagine that the two armies were fighting, and someone suddenly intervened. It was a general of Yi Yan's level. What will be the result? it goes without saying!
But with such countermeasures, the most important thing is the trust between the two. Once in doubt, take a break!
Duan Qin also thought about it, and after thinking about it carefully, he had to nod his head and say yes: "General Yi and the lord have a very different relationship. The King of the East Sea must not know this. If he accepts the order, the situation will be very different!"
"But in this case, we should bring back some troops from Yecheng." Seeing that Duan Qin also nodded, Zhang Bin immediately answered.
If Yiyan stayed in Yecheng, his troops would stay there too. But this time he brought all the cavalry in Bingzhou. If they stay there, it will have an impact on the defense of the state. At least half of it should be withdrawn.
And the withdrawal of these soldiers will also make outsiders feel that the relationship between the two is out of control. It is very beneficial for Yiyan to take charge of Wei County and even Hebei!
"Most of the tiger and wolf camp comes from Liang's house, and it can be left to General Yi." Duan Qin smiled, "In this way, the imperial court will be able to support the army for the master."
The Tiger and Wolf Camp was developed from the Liangfu trilogy. Everyone has military fields to take, and their loyalty is not comparable to others. And those soldiers who had joined the service of other Xiongnu troops, heard the orders of Liang Shijun, leaving it to Yiyan would be troublesome. If there is a second heart, it will be more than the loss.
"That's fine." Liang Feng nodded.
Since it is to be done, it should be done to the extreme. It's just that this letter is still a bit troublesome to write. I don't know if Yi Yan can bear such an arrangement.
※
"General! This court appointment is very strange!"
The envoy with the edict also came to Yecheng. After listening to the court's decree, the generals under Yi Yan became restless. what happened? Want the general to leave Bingzhou? ! What is the origin of Tiger Wolf Camp, how can he endure such provocation!
Wang Long broke out in person: "When we were sold to Yanzhou by that Sima Teng, what did the court care about?! If it wasn't for the lord who saved us, I'm afraid I don't know who we are farming, where would we be now? Now it's better, fight After Yecheng, instead of handing it over to the lord, it will be given to the general, which is uneasy and kind!”
Wang Long is a Jie who entered the manor with Yi Yan. Although he is Lu Zhi, he is also extremely loyal. And many of the other generals in the team were from Yi households. And those Xiongnu soldiers who were sincere and fearful of the Buddha, who would betray the lord
The court had no favors with them, but the lord was the benefactor who recreated them. Let them have homes and fields, give them respect and honor, and even their children can go to school. Which one is more important and which is less important can be distinguished by the individual!
Facing the excited subordinates, Yi Yan didn't have much expression on his face: "The lord will definitely know about this, and you should wait for the military order."
His palms have been quietly clenched. In the past, he was eager to return to the lord's side immediately, but now... Maybe, it would be better to stay in Yecheng. What the lord did that night really made him feel resentment. Too fierce, too decisive, even he could not bear it. If he stayed by the lord's side, maybe he could only be a confidant for the rest of his life. Tormented, but helpless. But what if you leave? If it is not broken, it will not work.
But he has the heart to break the game, will the lord believe him? If you believe it, you should keep him in Yecheng and take charge of Hebei. If he doesn't believe it, he will be recruited back to Bingzhou, and even if it's awkward, he won't let him go too far.
Lord, how will you choose
After suppressing all kinds of protests from his subordinates, Yi Yan did not accept the order or disobey, so he left the envoy behind and waited for a letter from Bingzhou. And that order, he didn't wait too long.
The lord ordered him to stay!
When I saw the letter, it seemed that all the pain was far away. Yi Changchang exhaled the sullen breath in his chest. The lord still believes in him, even at this moment.
"General, why did the lord let you accept the order?" Not only Wang Long, but many people also showed surprise on their faces.
"My lord asked me to guard Ye City for him." Yi Yan replied lightly.
There are circles around here, and it's not hard to guess after you get through it. Wang Long's eyes lit up immediately, but Yi Yan waved his hand: "Those soldiers from other divisions have to be brought back to Bingzhou. You go back..."
"General!" Before Yi Yan could finish speaking, Wang Long howled. In all these battles, he has always followed Yi Yan and never left. How can I get him back now
"Bingzhou needs cavalry. You are responsible for defending the soil. You should train more cavalry." Yi Yan did not give him any room to refute.
This time, Wang Long closed his mouth. It was the general who believed in him that he was given such an important task. Just fighting independently, is he really competent
Gritting his teeth, Wang Long said loudly, "I will obey orders at the end!"
How many battles has he fought, which one is not a matter of life and death? Defending the soil, training the army, he can still do it!
"In that case, take the decree." Yi Chang stood up, without turning his head, and walked towards the room where the envoy was imprisoned.
