Chapter 35: Dilemma (1)

Fei Yanggu led his men and horses to intersperse between Dazhen and Lalu. Thousands of cavalry used the invasion tactics that the northern barbarians were best at. The Jurchen cavalry came very quickly, and several garrisons that had farmed were broken without any response.

The Jurchens ran away without stopping and the weak Zhuang did not dare to pursue them with all his strength. They just saved several important military garrisons on the wasteland, but suddenly grabbed the Jurchens with a small tail and knocked out hundreds of people.

Fei Yanggu was so scared that he quickly led his men to flee, and the Songnen Plain finally returned to peace.

But the Jurchens' invasion this time shocked Yang Wen. The commander of Dazhen Guard Lu Shuang and the commander of Lalu Guard Zhuang De were recruited back to Liaoyang. Lu Shuang was Ye Wang's man, and Zhuang De was recruited from the King of Liao, and neither of them knew why they were recruited back.

But the two of them just entered the Liaodong Dusi Zhongjun Mansion located in Liaoyang, and the atmosphere was very wrong.

As soon as he arrived at the second round, a duty officer asked the two to remove the sword. Zhuang felt even more strange. He had never wanted to remove the sword before. He exchanged glances with Lu Shuang and secretly screamed in his heart.

When he arrived at the lobby, he saw Yang Wen, who had fair skin and three long beards, sitting on the tiger-skin chair in the center of the lobby. Ye Wang was on the left and Tie Xuan was sitting on the right. There were ten fierce personal guards on each side.

Seeing this posture, Zhuang De had already understood in his heart that he would even lose his skin if he did not die.

The two walked forward and knelt down together to salute. Yang Wen did not call them up, but asked coldly: "Come on, take the two generals to wait for trial." As soon as he finished speaking, four people jumped out from each other and twisted their arms and held them on the spot.

Lu Shuang looked up and said, "Governor, what crime did the Imperial College commit?"

Yang Wen sneered and said, "On the fifth day of the third month, Fei Yanggu, the remnant of Jurchens in Beishan, led 5,000 Jurchens from Bayanlu to invade, but you were leaving your defense zone? On the ninth day of the third month, we attacked Zhenhe South, hundreds of soldiers and civilians were killed or injured. Is there such a thing?"

Lu Shuang's face was sweating and replied: "Go back to the Governor, Fei Yanggu did have this incident when he entered the invasion from our defense zone. Zhenhe Station held on for three days, Fei Yanggu withdrew the siege, and Zhenhe Station lost only 180 soldiers and civilians."

Yang Wen ignored him and asked Zhuang De: "On March 15th, Feiyang Gu tribe crossed the Naraji River and entered the Lalu Guard Defense Zone. Is there such a thing?" Zhuang De replied, yes.

Yang Wen asked again: "On March 17th, the Jurchens defeated the Haliven Institute, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians in our army died and injured. Is this a matter?"

Zhuang De felt bitter in his heart, but he could only answer: "There is."

Yang Wen leaned on the chair: "Since you admit that there is indeed such a thing, you should know what crimes should you be. I remember that when the King of Liao first arrived in Liaodong, the one who abducted my brothers and sisters will be killed without mercy.

But the two of them let them enter a state of no one, and they will come whenever they want to come, and they will leave whenever they want to leave. On March 25, the Jurchens crossed north from Jiahe and left. Our Tribe punished your crimes. How can the Liaodong Army still clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments in the future?"

Lu Shuangyi looked up and said, "The last general is wronged. It is helpless to be unable to stop the Jurchens. The troops in the unit are only 3,000, and they are all infantry."

After the beginning of spring, two thousand people went to various places to farm, and the opponent's 5,000 cavalrymen would suffer greater losses once the last general went to fight, so he had to concentrate his troops to protect a few limited locations and take a defensive stance. Please ask the governor to take a clear understanding.

"Ye Wang knew that he was not good after hearing his explanation. Why did you, a fool, bring up the matter of farming together? This is Yang Wendi's order. Isn't you slapped him in the face when you say that?

Zhuang Deduo was fine and he quickly pulled Lu Shuang's clothes and said, "Governor, the general of the second general is aware of the crime. General Lu had discussed with the general of the second general. The general believed that the enemy's mobile ability was strong and our army was dispersed, so he could only conserve a few important locations.

It is easy to be defeated by each one. So in the end, some of the military and civilians were lost. The last general did have any dereliction of duty. However, the last general later attacked and left the Jurchen Tatars one tail and annihilated 300 of them. The last general knew that he had made any mistakes. But please ask the general to punish him."

At this time, Ye Wang stood up and bowed, and then said, "General, they are indeed guilty of losing the military and civilians, but in the end they also annihilated some of the enemy troops. Their merits and demerits are basically equal. Please consider it."

Seeing this, Tie Xuan knew that he could not come out to protect the person, so he stood up and said, "General, General Ye's words are reasonable, but the mistakes they committed are understandable. However, the two of them have been in the northern border for many years and are very familiar with the advantages of the wasteland. It is better to let them make meritorious contributions and continue to guard the northern border. If there is any mistake next time, it will not be too late to punish them again.

”

Seeing that both officials were up to dissuade them, Yang Wen knew that it was not easy to offend them, so he took the opportunity to go down the stairs and finally demoted them to Qianhu, and his own generals were placed in the positions of the commander of the two guards.

Regardless of his achievements in annihilation of the enemy, Yang Wen also removed the two of them from office, which caused complaints from the Liaodong army and panic.

The generals who came to Liaodong with Zhuang De with Zhu Zhi were even more resentful. The Little Ma Wang was leading the army to practice outside at the time of the incident. When he came back, he was immediately furious and did not listen to Tie Xuan's persuasion. He rushed into the central army tent and asked Yang Wen to argue.

The erratic character of the Little Majesty brought him thirty military sticks. Finally, Yang Wen knew about the relationship between Little Majesty and Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi was about to return to the vassal state and did not remove his position.

The little Ma Wang lay in the military tent, and his teeth were itchy. Liu Qingren sat next to him, looking at the scars on his husband's back and his heart was as if he was shattered. She took the herbs prepared by the military doctor and ordered the military doctor to go down and apply medicine to the little Ma Wang himself.

Xiao Ma Wang muttered: "Yang Wen, a villain, can only fiddle with the little power in his hands. If this continues, the good situation in Liaodong will inevitably be destroyed in this person's hands."

Liu Qingren said, "Mr., seeing your angry look, I feel very distressed. Don't worry about the affairs of the official family for the time being. Recover the wound first." As he said that, he gently applied the crushed medicinal paste to the scar.

The little horse king said: "I'm anxious. What's wrong with Zhuang De? Three thousand and five thousand will be given to any general in that situation.

Yang Wen clearly took the opportunity to eradicate us old people from Liaodong. If I don’t speak today, I will sooner or later be defeated by this person.”

Liu Qingren said: "I don't know these major military and national affairs, and I shouldn't ask about them. But I think that the foundation of Liaodong was brought to you by Your Highness and you are fighting down. Now that Your Highness is not here, I will rely on you old brothers to guard it.

I heard you say a few days ago that Your Highness is coming back soon, and your husband should be more careful not to find excuses for those surnamed Yang to deal with you. As long as Your Highness returns to Liao, he will be helpless. So your husband should bear the momentary aura. Take into account the overall situation."

Just as the little Ma Wang was about to talk, a few applauses suddenly echoed at the door of the tent: "Okay, men are not as good as men. I didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would have such insights, which are hundreds of times better than this reckless man who only knows that an egg hits a stone."

The little Ma Wang and his wife looked up and saw Tie Xuan standing at the door, clapping their hands and walking in, "Mrs. Wang is very proud, Tie admires it."

When the little Ma Wang saw that it was Tie Xuan, he hurriedly called out, "Mr. Tie is here, sit down quickly. You are going to pour a glass of water for Lord Tie." Liu Qing's face turned red, he quickly lowered his head, got up and went out to pour water.

Tie Xuan said: "How is this beaten so strongly?"

The little horse king said angrily: "What is this little injury? It's just that this guy ruined the good situation in Liaodong."

Tie Xuan said: "A villain must have a way to deal with villain, but he must not show off his ability for a moment. General Zhuang was wronged, and Yang Wen took the opportunity to fight against the differences. Who among the Liaodong army did not know? Since he was guilty of his own sin.

We just need to keep an eye on him. Your Highness will return to Liao soon. Are you still afraid that he will make a comeback?

I know your personality very well, and I can't rub a little sand in my eyes, but now it's not the time to go against him. Our first task is to keep this foundation for Your Highness.

It is too dangerous for you to do this today. If this person is unwilling, he will take the opportunity to remove you from his post. It will not only be your personal honor and disgrace, but will ruin His Highness's great cause."

The little Ma Wang only obeyed two people in his life, one was Zhu Zhi, and the other was Tiexun, the army gallant of Liaodong. At this time, Tiexun was very good at inducing, and the little Ma Wang's aura was slightly relieved and said, "Is Your Highness going back soon? When?"

Tie Xuan said: "Three days ago, I received the pigeons released from the capital. He said that His Highness had left the capital on April 20th. Now it has been ten days. The summer monsoon is facing each other. It seems that it is almost time to arrive. I have sent a ship to welcome him.

So it is at this time that we should be more careful.”

The little Ma Wang raised his body excitedly, just touching the wound, which made him frown. He lay down and said, "Dingshi has taught him the right lesson. Hehe, I am a person who lacks a string in my mind. Sometimes I feel impulsive, and Dingshi will remind you in the future."

Liu Qingren brought the water up and knew that the two men had something to do to discuss, so he hurriedly stepped back. Seeing that she went down, Tie Xuan said, "How are the training of the Fuzhou Guard in Guangning, how are the training of the Fuzhou Guard?"

The little Ma Wang shook his head and said, "No, although the intermediate generals and officials are all divided into old guards, the chief officials of these two guards are all in vain. In this field exercise, the two guards attacked, I only used one thousand households to block it, and then another thousand households to make dumplings.

”

Tie Xuan frowned and said, "When we formed the two guards last year, the palace minister repeatedly told us to train the two guards. It seems that we have let down His Highness's instructions."

The little horse king said: "There is no need to feel guilty about the tripod. Everyone in the Liaodong military knows what's going on. Now there are only two more people in the middle and lower class guards ready for battle, and eighty more people have become farmers.

If it weren't for Dingshi's argument, even our top guard might not be spared."

Tie Xuan said: "You participated in the entire spring exercise. According to your current strength of the Liaodong military and local governments?"

The little horse king shook his head with a frustrated expression and said, "70%? Not at most 60%.

The strongest strength of the Liaodong Army should be after the 30th year of Hongwu to fight Mongolia. At that time, not only the upper-class guards, but all the middle-class guards had strong combat power, but even the lower-class guards, mainly the Lalu Guards and the 30,000 guards, were also very fierce.

But now? Look at the middle guards, except for the Jinzhou guards of Lao Han and the Chenyang Zhongwei under Qu Qing, what are the other guards like? Before the Huns were destroyed, they destroyed the Great Wall first, and Yang Wen was in trouble with the country!"

Tie Xuan said: "Don't be too anxious. There are many new recruits from the two guards, and it is normal for them to have low combat power. They have encountered spring planting and autumn harvest shortly after they were established. There is no time to train. This summer, I am going to transfer the commander of the two guards to the military academy and familiar with the Liaodong military system. After the two of them are transferred, you will be responsible for arresting the training of the two guards. At the latest, they will be like the beginning of next spring.

”

The little horse king said: "I obey the order, but Yang Wen is in Liaodong one day, so the Liaodong army will not be able to get better. I heard that your highness may not have the power to return to Liaodong. Do you have a plan if you return to Liaodong? "

Tie Xuan said: "What can I do? The relationship between the court and the vassal kings is so stalemate. Yang Wen must have been sent by the emperor to Liaodong to control the military power. He came here to do this place, so His Highness still wanted to gain the power that was like the same as before. It was like a scam with a tiger.

”

The little horse king beat the mattress and said angrily: "Without Your Highness, how could Liaodong come from today? If you have any contributions, you will be suspicious."

Tie Xuan patted the Little Pony King on the shoulder and said, "Little Pony King Don't be angry anymore. We can't control the changes in the upper body. The key is to capture the team for Your Highness. I believe that as long as the team is held in the hands of our own people, one day it will be useful."

The little horse king tasted what Tie Xuan said, turned his head and glanced at Tie Xuan and said, "Brother Dingshi, what do you mean?"
