Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4157
Liu Rengui and Xi Jun entered the room, bowed backwards to Fang Xuanling and Su Dingfang, and then entered the table together, sitting on both sides.

"I just received the news that various families in the south of the Yangtze River have secretly dispatched countless supplies, supplies, personnel and horses to gather in the direction of Jinling. They will arrive in Jinling in three to five days. The purpose of this move is unknown, and there is no situation that the capital has sent it yet. , the general felt that the situation was serious, so he hurried to report."

Liu Rengui also just returned from the Japanese presided over the destruction of the Suwo clan. As soon as he went ashore and entered the Naval Office, an eyeliner planted in the Jiangnan clan sent back a message. He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly called Shang Xijun to buy it and come to inform him together. Su Dingfang.

Fang Xuanling tapped his finger on the table twice, thought for a while, and sighed, "I'm afraid the situation in Chang'an is not good. When His Majesty was critically ill, he had never heard of an edict issued. Presumably there is no will. Even if there was, it must be Others pretended that it was justifiable for the crown prince to ascend the throne, but the Jiangnan clan and the Shandong family were colluding. It is well known that the two chariots and horses supported the Jin king. I have to travel long distances to Guanzhong to help the King of Jin."

After a pause, he shook his head, his expression a little lonely: "If you are a little careless, I am afraid that a civil war between brothers and sisters is inevitable."

He is an outstanding person in the world, so he naturally knows the harm of internal strife to China. Almost as long as the political situation in the dynasty is stable and the river is clean, it will be the time when China tames the barbarians, expands the territory, and dominates the world. On the contrary, once the political situation collapses , Civil strife is still frequent, but the Hu tribe spies in, plunders, burns and kills the people, and even the tripods are overturned, the country is in ruins, and there is a danger of extinction.

Su Dingfang naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly asked: "I don't know how the last general should deal with it?"

He is not someone who shirks responsibility, but since Fang Xuanling is in Jiangnan, it is obvious that he is in response to any sudden event, such as the present, so it is better to ask Fang Xuanling and ask the other party to make a decision than to take responsibility for himself. suitable.

After all, Fang Xuanling's position is Fang Jun's position, even if there are slight differences, but even Fang Jun can take Fang Xuanling's position as the standard...

Fang Xuanling also understands Su Dingfang's current embarrassment, allowing the Jiangnan clan to form a private army to go north to Guanzhong regardless, it may threaten the prince who is about to ascend the throne in Chang'an City, and lead to the collapse of the East Palace.However, if they blatantly send troops to obstruct it, it may also cause the Jiangnan clan to retaliate and cause the situation in Jiangnan to completely deteriorate. This is a consequence that Su Dingfang absolutely cannot and will never afford.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the land of Jiangnan has been separated from the Central Plains, and the clans in the Jiangnan dreamed of starting a new stove. The ambition pursued by almost everyone, but various reasons have not been able to achieve it.

Now that His Majesty Li Er is passing away, and the center is in turmoil due to the dispute over the heir apparent, this is the best time for the Jiangnan Clan to fulfill their long-cherished wish for a century...

After a short moment of silence, Fang Xuanling made a decisive decision: "Can the naval ships go along the river, blockade the ferry along the Yangtze River, and prevent the Jiangnan private army from crossing the Yangtze River north to Guanzhong?"

Su Dingfang said: "Of course! As early as the beginning of the navy's establishment, Erlang had set the development direction of the navy. Although he had the ambition to sail across the seven seas and divide the ocean into an inland sea, he must also pay attention to the defense of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At that time, we had the ability to go upstream along the river and build inland cities. Right now, when the Yangtze River is full of water, our navy has at least a hundred small ships that can go upstream and attack ourselves at any time. Any ferry below the Three Gorges."

The "Royal Navy" used to be responsible for patrolling the waterways of the Yangtze River and defending the coastal waters. After combining them into one, it not only pioneered and entered the ocean directly, but also retained its original powers and responsibilities. It has never given up on the two waterways of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. control.

No one knows better than Fang Jun the strategic significance of fully controlling these two waterways. After all, with the opening of the Grand Canal, the navy can cover [-]% of the most important cities in the world within its attack range.

All the important towns in ancient and modern times guard the great river...

Fang Xuanling's eyes flickered. He has been the leader of the center for more than ten years, and his vision is naturally not comparable to that of a general like Su Dingfang. How amazing it would be.

For example, if there is such an invincible navy that blocks the Yangtze River, if it is really planned to rule the river, even a million troops in the north will not be able to cross the Yangtze River and invade the south of the Yangtze River.

For example, hundreds of ships equipped with artillery can go upstream along the canal, pass through Hangu, Tongguan and other dangerous passes, approach the Wei River, and bombard the city of Chang'an...

My son, what is this for? !

Take a deep breath, now is not the time to think about such illusory things, and say categorically to Su Dingfang: "The Jiangnan clan arbitrarily gathered family soldiers and formed a private army. Monitor the various ferry crossings along the Yangtze River. Immediately send people to the various houses in the south of the Yangtze River, and use the old man's name card to invite all the heads of the family to come to Huating Town. The old man wants to ask them what their intentions are. Before that, if they dare to lead the army to cross the river, Su Dingjun can act decisively and intercept it! Remember, these private troops must not be allowed to rush to Guanzhong and cause trouble for the court!"

Everyone in the world said "Fang plots to stop judgment", it seems that Fang Xuanling is eager to plot without judgment, but in fact, it seems that such an outstanding person who can lead the center, how can he not have the ability to kill and make decisions?It's just that Du Ruhui, who is usually stubborn, doesn't need Fang Xuanling to come forward for such a courageous and risky matter, so he gives such an impression to the world.

Now facing the chaos that the Jiangnan clan is about to cause, Fang Xuanling made a decisive decision and ordered Su Dingfang to deal with it with the toughest attitude, without procrastinating.

The worst consequence is nothing more than corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, but since the Jiangnan clan refuses to submit to the central government, and is always thinking of starting a new stove and planning to rule the river, it would be better to plunge the whole of Jiangnan into chaos, and let these clans who have been passed down for hundreds of years The forces built by the collusion of branches and vines were completely shattered...

Jiangnan can be chaotic, but Guanzhong cannot.

Otherwise, once the crown prince is defeated and dies, and the king of Jin seizes the throne, the whole world will be caught in the flames of war, and the Nuo Empire will fall apart in an instant—if the king of Jin can do it, why can't I?

This will be the result if the young waste the long.

At that time, His Majesty Li Er's "Xuanwu Gate Change" seemed to be against the sky, but in fact, in the following few years, he did not know how many domestic opposition forces were wiped out, and it was not until the tenth year of Zhenguan that the world was completely stabilized.

However, King Jin does not have His Majesty Li Er's majesty, grand strategy and lofty reputation, nor does he have the elite soldiers and brilliant counselors in Tiance Mansion. Decadent, the people are scattered, China is broken...

Su Dingfang got up abruptly, patted the breastplate with his right hand, and his eyes were clear: "Duke Liang, don't worry, the general will personally supervise the battle, but if a soldier from the Jiangnan private army enters the pass, the general will come to see you!"

Immediately greet Liu Rengui and Xi Junmai, and leave together.

Fang Xuanling poured himself a glass of wine, took a shallow sip, and let out a long breath.

Who would have expected that His Majesty, who was prosperous in spring and autumn, wise and powerful, single-handedly created the prosperous age of Zhenguan from the chaos of the end of Sui Dynasty, but suddenly passed away, leaving behind a chaotic mess?
……

The three of Su Dingfang left the Huating Town Office, rode back through the rain to the navy yamen on the side of the military port, swung their stirrups off the saddle and got off their horses, stepped inside quickly, and immediately beat the big drum in front of the yamen to summon the battalion generals and academies to discuss matters.

The three-way drum sounded, and the generals and schools who were staying in the military port had already "hula-la" gathered quickly, crowding the yamen inside and out.

Su Dingfang was dressed in military uniform, stood in the hall with a knife on his waist, looked around, and said in a clear voice: "As a royal navy, we have the responsibility to defend the land, defend the enemy, and protect the environment and the people. Collecting food, fodder and supplies, gathering private soldiers from various families, is gathering in the Jinling area, ignoring the laws of the country, trying to drag the entire south of the Yangtze River into the flames of war, who commits rebellion, and who deserves to be punished for his crimes! Since the matter of being loyal to the emperor, immediately send troops to block the ferry near Jinling, not allowing a boat or a person to cross the river and set foot on the north bank, if anyone dares to break through, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Here!"

The whole hall of navy generals promised loudly, and the sound shook the roof tiles.
