So here comes the question... Is the son of Yunyang willing to hand over the soldiers and horses in his hands to the Lord of Yunyang
The answer is: yes.
At least Li Ren, the Eighth Prince of Yunyang, chose to do so. The reason is very simple, he has the most people in his hands now, but he is neither sure of winning Yuxi City, nor can he afford to support so many soldiers and horses. Instead of running out of ammunition and food, it is better to hand over this hot potato directly.
His ambition was shattered the moment Karpass joined Li Yi.
He knew very well that there would be no good juice to eat in Yuxi City now, but after Li Yi was confirmed to be deposed, he was the most promising one among the princes of Yunyang. Since this is the case, it is better to gamble, as long as Lord Yunyang wins the follow-up key battle, his status will definitely rise accordingly.
As for the mentality of other sons, it is more complicated. Some people have the same thoughts as Li Ren, while others think that when Yuxicheng approached them to cooperate, they pretended to be a good baby with no ambitions, and now they suddenly show their fangs and start annexing them, which is ugly. Some people were frightened by Yuxi City's move to liquidate the nobles. They didn't care about the intricate interpersonal relationships at all during the trial. Few survived.
It doesn't matter whether it's for survival or for greater ambitions.
Judging from the results, most of the young masters of Yunyang surrendered their military power.
Lord Yunyang didn't accept it all. Because of the forced conscription, the princes' army included many old, weak, sick and disabled. Lord Yunyang kicked all these people out, and then screened the rest, picking out the young and capable to train carefully. The final strength was set at around 200,000.
There are more than 40,000 troops left in the northern frontier, and about 80,000 in the southern frontier.
After receiving the letter from Lord Yunyang, Takis let out a long sigh, and said to Yun Ye who was sitting in the guest seat:
"Go back to Yuxi City, little sister. Lord Yunyang is awake, this battle must continue. I also have to pack up and go to Lingyun City to obey orders."
Among the three frontier generals in the northeast and south, Takis should be the youngest. He looks about thirty-five years old. He is a bearded uncle who is used to closing one eye when talking. His tone was gentle with a bit of helplessness, he raised the letter in his hand towards Yunye, and planned to order the soldiers to send her away.
The sudden change confused everyone present, but Yun Ye still looked calm.
She happened to drink some wine today, brushed her hair back, looked at Takis steadily, and asked:
"Is the general planning to be as loyal to Yunyang as Karpass did?"
Takis didn't answer, Yun Ye narrowed her eyes and continued:
"General, Yuxi City won't blame the general for turning his back on his word, but the lord of Yunyang probably won't trust the general anymore. This time he recruited the general, and nine times out of ten he planned to deprive the general of his military power. The southern frontier army is the general's painstaking efforts, the general really Don't you care?"
Takis laughed, and the people around him put on the shirt for him. He said to Yunye:
"People, you have to be a little bit persistent. Of course I care about what you say. But before that, I am the general of Yunyang first, and I must obey the orders of the lord of Yunyang. When the lord is in a coma, I can Use this as an excuse to hold back; but now he told me to go, I have to go and see."
Takis put on his helmet, patted Yunye's shoulder, and said:
"Don't worry, I will use the security of the frontier as an excuse to leave a part of the army stationed here. Lord Yunyang will not move me at this time, and he has no one under his command. As for fighting in the future, each will Depending on your ability, I'm still very optimistic about you."
After Takis finished speaking, he greeted the soldiers behind him, packed his luggage and went to Lingyun City. Yun Ye put the wine glass back on the table, and got up to leave as well. The soldiers beside her were a little embarrassed for a while. After all, not long ago, they had a good conversation with each other, and they seemed to be about to reach a follow-up cooperation, but now they instantly entered a state of hostility. No one expected that the banquet would end in this way.
Yun Ye put on her coat, glanced at the sky above her head, got into the carriage and went back to Yuxi City.
Takis has decided to go, this is no longer a problem that can be solved through diplomacy, and the rest can be left to Fang Shisan to deal with. Yun Ye still has trust in Yuxi City's army, which is also the solid backing for her to maneuver diplomatically. The situation in Yunyang is already very clear, and the final decisive battle will break out in a short time. This father-son situation will soon come to an end.
two years.
It has been two years since Lide left Lingyun City, and Yunyang is experiencing another scorching summer.
Lide was sitting in a room with a lot of ice cubes, eating iced watermelon comfortably, and on the table was a research report from the dark organization. Fang Shisan was sitting in a wheelchair, also holding half a piece of watermelon in her hand, and Tila was carefully helping her wipe off the juice from her lips. While reading the report, Li De said to Fang Thirteen vaguely:
"My father is quite agile in his work, and he can really play with resource integration. An army of 200,000 people will definitely be able to exert a certain combat power in his hands, not to mention the addition of the two frontier armies. There are 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. On our side, even if we put all the reserve troops in, the total number of soldiers will be a little over 100,000. There is a three-fold difference in strength, do you have any way to deal with it?"
Fang Shisan put his hands on his lap and replied gently:
"Drag and fight, both are fine. Dragging is a more stable approach. Our people's hearts have gradually stabilized, reserves are more abundant, and the protection of the territory is increasing. Although Lord Yunyang has more troops, it is already difficult for them to afford it." We can afford this amount of troops, and as long as we fortify the walls and clear the country for a few months, there will definitely be chaos on Lord Yunyang's side."
Lord Yunyang is not a god. The sons of Yunyang extorted violently, unable to maintain such a large number of troops, and the lord of Yunyang was the same. Just because of the streamlining of the army and his personal prestige there, the time of collapse will be postponed for a few months.
Fang Shisan closed his eyes and continued:
"However, if you do this, half of Yunyang may be completely finished. If you continue to drag on, the power of the people will be overdrawn to a level that is difficult to recover. Therefore, I am more inclined to fight with the lord of Yunyang on the frontal battlefield, for the sake of Yunyang. The common people, but also for our future."
Lied threw the finished watermelon rind into the trash can with a beautiful three-pointer and asked:
"What are the odds of winning?"
Fang Shisan closed his eyes and was silent for a while, as if he had simply checked in his heart, and then gave his own answer:
"Over seventy percent."
Lied nodded and showed a smile:
"Then let's do it. Stud, if you win, you can go to the sky, and if you lose, you can make money. Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end."
