Chapter 24 Demon Wind Evil Qi
After directing and acting in the farce of "in yellow robe", Wang Feng felt no relief in his heart. Wくw W√.
8 1√zW.
CoM's eldest brother Wang Mian is south of the Yellow River, and his third brother Wang Lin is now the chief general of Huyan Valley. Although Wu Guihao used force to suppress the ministers and pushed him to the throne of the rest of the country, can he sit firmly on this carved seat covered in tiger skin?
Wang Feng spent the first three days tremblingly. During these three days, he tried his best to adjust the power structure of the Tiande Army. Wu Guihao was promoted to deputy envoy, but was removed from his position as commander of the Ya Army. Wang Qian's Shimubin was also his teacher Liang Yangu served as the marching Sima. His two closest cousins Wang Yun and Wang Bi were appointed as the chief general and deputy general of the Ya Army. As a pacification for supporting meritorious deeds, the position of the chief general of the rear army was handed over to Wu Guihao's cousin Wu Guiyuan.
Zhongshoujiang City has not been directly threatened by the enemy at present, but Wang Feng did not dare to take it lightly. This border city built more than a hundred years ago is built on the Yellow River in the south, with mountains on the left and right. The city wall is twelve meters high and nine meters thick. There are plenty of weapons in the city, and there are 100,000 bundles of feather arrows. There are only 100,000 enemies to attack the city, so there are basically no need to worry. There are more than 100,000 troops outside Zhongshoujiang City, and thousands of troops are stationed. The enemy who besieged the city is attacked from both sides and back, and no one can hold it for a long time.
However, the disadvantage of Zhongshoujiang City is also very obvious. The city has little people and few grains and grass. In the past, this disadvantage was not very obvious. Three miles south of the city is the Yellow River. There is a wharf by the river. There are high walls on both sides of the wharf. Even if the city is surrounded on all sides, the grain and grass from outside can still be transported into the city through the navy. Although the scale of the Tiande Army's naval forces is not large, it is already in the Heshuo area. The Uighurs and Khitan landslides are even more out of reach.
But now all this has changed. Although Wang Mian is still silent, someone in his guest court has already publicly accused Wang Feng of "usurping the throne", and Ma Yue, deputy general of the former army, even threatened that the soldiers of the former army would not recognize him as the queen. Zhu Kong, the commander of the Tiande Navy, was Wang Mian's confidant, and his navy has blocked the river surface south of Zhongshoucheng City. It is impossible to rely on transporting grain from the river.
The city is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and to the north is the defense ground of the Huyan Valley garrison. Although Wang Lin did not openly accuse him of "usurping the throne" like Wang Mian, his attitude was also very unfriendly. The Huyan Valley garrison had crossed the border and occupied several passes that should have been stationed by the Tiande Hou Army, and blocked the traffic from Zhongshoujiang City to the outside world.
The food stored in the city was only enough to eat for ten days, and Wang Feng was at a loss.
Suddenly, Liang Yangu rushed in.
"Jinyu," Jinyu is Wang Feng's character, and he said that his character is only Liang Yangu in the Tiande Army.
"Teacher," said that the teacher did not call him official position, which also shows Wang Feng's trust in Liang Yangu.
"It's so late, you should have a break early. Only by maintaining your energy can you be strong enough to plan major events."
"I can't sleep. If I don't take the lead, I don't know how expensive it is to be a food company."
"Haha," Liang Yangu laughed and stopped going around the circle. "Hedong has replied." As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Feng. Wang Feng was about to open the envelope as if he had caught a life-saving straw, but he saw that the golden paint seal on the seal was very complete, so he asked in surprise: "Have you not read it yet?"
Liang Yangu smiled and said, "This is the handwritten letter written by Liu Zhishuai to you. How could I read it first?"
Wang Feng said: "Then the student will say it again: The teacher should read the letters involved in official affairs in the future, so that he can make a mistake first to avoid delaying official affairs." Liang Yangu laughed embarrassedly.
After reading the letter, Wang Feng frowned slightly. He handed the letter to Liang Yangu. He walked to the door and called a bowl of tea, and personally brought the tea bowl to Liang Yangu. At this time, Liang Yangu had finished reading the letter and asked, "Liu Zhishuai said it thoroughly. I think you don't hesitate anymore. You miss your brotherhood, but he may not miss your love."
Wang Feng exhaled and said, "I am unwilling to give up the thirteen counties in Henan like this."
Liang Yangu smiled and said, "Liu Qingling thought the thirteen counties were treasures, but we know that these thirteen counties are the thirteen names on the map. The thirteen counties totaled only 10,000 households, and the taxes collected every year were not enough for the Yajun army to pay for a month. In order to deal with the bandits who came and went like the wind, each county had to divide its troops to garrison. The military rations accounted for 50% of the total annual expenditure, and 60% of them were spent on the transfer. In the long run, it would be necessary to drag down the Tiande army."
Wang Feng said: "Students also know that it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. But those are thirteen counties. Fengzhou has only only six counties. It has fallen into the hands of Meng and has brought my father a reputation for nearly ten years. If I lose these thirteen counties, I will not be drowned by their spit."
Liang Yangu sneered and said, "They have scolded the old coach for ten years, but without this scolding, there would be no such family business of the Wang family."
Wang Feng asked in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Liang Yangu said: "At the beginning of the second year of Yamato, Xue Cheng, the former governor of Tiande Army, was seriously ill. He wanted to pass on his son Xue Long and designed to lure and kill the old coach. The old coach was naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death. Unfortunately, Xue Cheng was very cautious about the old coach that day. The old coach felt that he was weak and had to visit Meng Chu at night, complainting the All-Cai to form an alliance with the Meng family. Meng Chu was unwilling to send troops, so he only agreed to restrain his confidants and remained unmoved. The condition was that the old coach had made a deposit and gave up the three cities in Fengzhou.
"The three cities of Fengzhou were taken back from the Uighurs in the blood of the old coach, but now they were robbed by the Meng family for nothing. Can ordinary people bear this humiliation? You know what happened next. The old coach led 300 personal soldiers to attack Yacheng at night, and fought bloody battles with the Eight Hundred Yamen of Xue Cheng and his son. Three Hundred vs. Eight Hundred, and on the other party's territory, how hard is this battle? It can be said that it will be a life-threatening death. Fortunately, God helped the nobles, Xue Long was injured by the ravage arrow, and Xue Cheng was so angry that he attacked the heart. After his death, the old coach turned defeat into victory and took charge of the Tiande Army on behalf of the Xue family.
"In that battle, the old coach was injured in twenty-eight swords, and the blood was almost dried up. But what about Meng Chu, who was watching the wall all night, was still the deputy envoy of the Tiande Army, and still wanted to seize the three cities of Fengzhou. The old coach was scolded for nearly ten years. Do you really think that the old coach didn't want to regain the three cities of Fengzhou? I wondered day and night, can he not beat Meng Chu? The old coach beat the 100,000 Uighurs who were beaten in the past year, throwing his armor and abandoning his armor. How could he not beat that corrupt scholar? But he held the documentary he had written by the old coach in his hand. Can the old coach resign himself and slap himself to shame his descendants?"
After hearing this, Wang Feng was shocked and sweated. He held Liang Yangu's hand and said emotionally: "I listen to all of my teacher and form an alliance with Hedong. As for him... after all, it is my father's flesh and blood. If you can, keep his life."
Liang Yangu said happily: "If you can achieve great things and not forget your family affection, the old coach can also keep his eyes closed."
————————————
Wang Qian's wife Feng was originally an ordinary farmer's woman. When she married Wang Qian, Wang Qian was a very unsuccessful councillor in the Hedong Army. After giving birth to his son Wang Mian, Wang Qian defected to the Zhenwu Army and then joined the Tiande Army. He left Feng alone to raise his young son in his hometown. He has no news for more than ten years since then.
It was not until Wang Qian became the envoy of the Tiande Army that he sent someone to take Feng's mother and son to the army. At this time, he had already married three concubines, but Feng's family grew old before they were old all year round. His mother's unpopularity was neglected, which greatly affected the relationship between Wang Mian and his father. In previous parents' conflicts, Wang Mian stood firmly on his mother's side, so he was beaten and scolded by his father a lot. After becoming an adult, Wang Mian led the troops, and except for official affairs, he refused to see Wang Qian.
But in the second year of Yamato, the decisive battle that involved the life, death, honor and disgrace of the two families of Xue Wang miraculously changed the relationship between father and son. Under the persuasion of Feng, Wang Mian abandoned prejudices and personally led the eighteen sworn brothers to fight in blood, killing four generals under Xue Cheng in a row, making great contributions. Since then, he has always served as the former chief general of the Tiande Army, and Wang Qian has full trust in him like a father and son.
Wang Mian was loyal and taciturn, and was extremely filial to his mother Feng. Wang Feng was elected as the queen of his family. Wang Mian immediately sent someone back to the city to visit his mother's safety. After learning that the Feng family was safe and sound, he was ready to admit Wang Feng's status as queen of his family. However, this move was firmly opposed by deputy general Ma Yue. Ma Yue was originally a general of the Yajun. He had a strong personality and often insulted his superiors. After Wang Feng became the deputy general of the Yajun, he took action against Ma Yue in order to establish his authority and found a reason to demote him to a military slave. Ma Yue fled overnight and gathered his old subordinates to become a bandit in Henan.
A year later, Wang Mian left Henan to seize thousands of people. Wang Mian returned in vain for several campaigns. Later, he listened to the advice of his advisers to surrender Ma Yue. In the first year of Kaicheng, Dong Bacheng besieged Feng'an, Wang Qian and Dugu Chang joined forces to advance westward, and were later blocked by Han Sui at Jiuniang Pass.
Later, Dong Bazheng led the Hedong remnants of the army suddenly bypassed Jiuniang Pass and attacked the coalition forces. The Tiande Army units were caught off guard and failed to defeat, and only Ma Yue's troops retreated. Later, Dong Bazheng took advantage of the opportunity to siege Zhongshoucheng. At this time, the city had less than a thousand troops. Wang Benqiang ordered the people to go to the city to kill the enemy. The situation was very critical. Thanks to Ma Yue's decision at the moment, he resolutely returned to the army to reinforce, which forced Dong Bazheng to abandon the city and advance westward. Ma Yue accumulated merits and was promoted to deputy general of the former army.
Ma Yue opposed Wang Mian's surrender to Wang Feng. Although he had his own selfish intentions, it also fit the thoughts of the generals of the former army. The former army had more than 10,000 troops, accounting for 65% of the total number of Tiande Army, and occupied all the barriers and barriers around Zhongshoujiang City. Wang Mian was the eldest son and had a high prestige in the army. If he was elected as the descendant of Tiande Army and succeeded as the governor in the future, the glory and wealth of the generals in the front army would be at your fingertips. On the contrary, if Wang Mian surrendered to Wang Feng, it is still difficult to say whether he could save his life, and the glory and wealth of the generals were even more difficult to count on.
Therefore, Ma Yue raised his arms and shouted, and the generals responded. Wang Mian did not dare to offend the public and had to hold his troops temporarily. After that, Yu Wanjin's nephew Yu Shizhuo rushed to the army and cried about the whole story of Wu Guihao's mutiny after Wang Qian's death. In this way, Wang Mian had no way to retreat. The generals immediately recommended him to stay for the Tiande Army and forced him to vow to attack Wang Feng.
Wang Mian was like a puppet and was manipulated by his Mubin Feng Qingfeng and deputy general Ma Yue until Wang Feng sent someone to send a handwritten letter from his mother Feng. In the letter, Feng started the topic with filial piety, asking Wang Mian not to forget the hardships of his father's hardships in establishing a family business, so that he would not be used by the greedy generals. The Mubins used them to turn back as soon as possible. Feng also brought a short note from Wang Feng in the letter. Wang Feng expressed his willingness to work with his brother to protect the foundation founded by his father, and promised that as long as Wang Mian was willing to return to Zhongcheng and accept surrender, he would be willing to support him for the queen. At the end of the note, Wang Feng mentioned that Feng was worried and troubled about his affairs and had been unable to eat and eat for several days.
After reading the letter, Wang Mian burst into tears and wanted to go back to the city that day. The generals begged hard, but Wang Mian had no intention. On that day, Shen Shi led a team of personal troops to leave the camp and head north. He did not want to encounter a strange wind when crossing the river, and the ship overturned and the people died. When Ma Yue learned of the death, he immediately summoned the generals who were left by the army and announced that Wang Mian was assassinated by Wang Feng and he wanted to raise an army to avenge the main generals.
When the generals heard this, they were angry and vowed to attack Zhonghuocheng and avenge Wang Mian. Ma Yue was elected as the chief general of the former army, Feng Qingfeng joined the army as Sima, and avenged troops to cross the Yellow River north.
