Tiantang Splendid

4282 Wherever the profit goes

Li Fengjie is the son of Li Daliang, and Li Daliang is a famous general in Guanzhong with great meritorious service, so this time Li Fengjie secretly contacted the old people in Youtun Weizhong, was it his own idea or Li Daliang's instruction?
Generally speaking, a son would not dare to make his own decisions on such important matters, but family members are different. In order to fight for power and profit, it is not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other and brothers to fight against each other. It is not impossible for Li Fengjie to do things behind Li Daliang's back.

But between the two, the meaning is absolutely different.

If Li Daliang participates in it, it will most likely mean that more ministers of Zhenguan are joining forces in secret. Once it is launched, it will inevitably sweep the entire Guanzhong. Preparations can also inevitably slip out of control when things are imminent.

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

"Tell Gao Kan to carry out the previous order and closely monitor the people Li Fengjie comes into contact with, and make sure that these people can be captured anytime and anywhere, but don't startle the snake, so as not to spoil His Majesty's plan."

Compared with the stable imperial power, long-term peace and stability, and completely breaking the backbone of the Guanzhong clan, a little risk is worth it.

It is always necessary to find out the moths hidden in Chang'an, so that the internal affairs can be carried out smoothly and more foundations can be accumulated for this empire.

The prosperous age of Kaiyuan is one of the real prosperous times in Chinese history, but the hidden dangers hidden under the prosperous scene are enough to make the huge empire fall into the abyss of eternal doom when it is flourishing.Eliminate these hidden dangers one by one, and both military and political aspects are on the right track, which will surely make the empire prosper for a long time.

Even if it is still difficult to escape the reincarnation of the rise and fall of the dynasty, it can still maintain a bit of foundation, so as not to make foreigners invade the Yangtze River...

*****
Bashui is rolling, and the water potential has dropped significantly compared to the previous few days, and it is also clearer. The tumbling water waves reflect the rising sun and turn into thousands of golden scales. The green grass on both sides spreads along the dams and soil slopes. , until it meets the distant fields and soil plains, lush and green, remaining the last vitality of early autumn.

Yu Chigong took off his armor and sat in the barracks on the river bank. He bared his left arm and let the army attendant deal with an arrow sore. The small knife cut open the skin and muscles to pick out the three-edged arrow cluster, and the blood gushed out. Apply the good wound medicine, and tightly wrap a few circles of gauze to prevent the wound from bursting.

During the whole process, Yu Chigong didn't frown because of the pain, only cursed over and over in his mouth: "Mother! The old thief is not a son of man, treachery!"

"To be swayed by that bastard abruptly, I'm so angry!"

"Cheng Yaojin, I and you are at odds!"

Inside and outside the tent, all the subordinates were trembling and frightened.

It is said that Cheng Yaojin has the most irritable temper, but in fact Cheng Yaojin is also the most protective, and will not punish the generals and soldiers under his command too severely, while Yu Chigong is really ruthless, turning his face and denying others, who would dare Touching his bad head, ranging from whipping to military sticks, killing and maiming without even blinking an eye...

After the military commander finished dealing with the arrow sores and retreated, Yu Chigong took the warm tea provided by the soldiers with one hand and drained it in one gulp, the anger finally dissipated, and he asked calmly, "How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

Su Jia had already taken off his armor, he was wounded in several places all over his body, and he was in a state of embarrassment. Hearing this, he replied: "It's just a simple summary of the number of people. Compared with the shortage of more than [-] people before the war, there are another [-] people who were seriously injured. More than a thousand minor injuries."

The war has just ended and the situation has not yet stabilized, so it is difficult to count the number of people who died in the battle. After all, some soldiers died fighting hard, while some fled and fled. Some returned, and some simply disappeared without a trace.

All in all, more than [-] soldiers were lost in this battle army, and nearly [-] temporarily lost combat effectiveness due to injuries. Yu Chigong carried more than [-] elite troops across the river, and nearly a quarter of them were lost in the first battle. Yuchi Gong was so distressed that he throbbed...

These are all old subordinates who have followed him in the north and south for many years. They are powerful and loyal. They should have become his feudal team and dedicated everything to the great cause of the Yuchi family, but now they are easily damaged here. On the mausoleum.

The reason is that he, Yu Chi Gong, underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, but was severely slapped by that old thief Cheng Yaojin...

"Bang!" Yu Chigong became more and more angry as he thought about it, he threw the teacup on the ground and smashed it into pieces, the fragments splashed, and he shouted angrily: "I will never live with a dog thief!"

Now that a tacit understanding has been reached, it is also a kind of contract. Both parties take what they need to avoid a bloody battle. Unexpectedly, Cheng Laogou is unreasonable and has clearly led his army to escape in embarrassment. He saw himself being stopped by Liang Jianfang and killed him perfidiously. Back to the carbine...

If he hadn't believed in Cheng Yaojin's character, how could he have such a big defeat?

Regret is like a poisonous snake gnawing at Yu Chigong's heart, I should have known this...

Su Jia secretly observed Yu Chigong's face from the side, seeing his changing expression and bursting with anger, he was naturally worried, but at the moment the situation was critical, he had to speak out to remind him.

With a dry cough, he gained courage, and Su Jia said cautiously: "Calm down your anger, commander. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you lose, you will lose. The big deal is to be brave when you know your shame, and settle the old and new scores together! But now King Jin's army has passed the new Feng is about to arrive at Baqiao, only a few tens of miles away from here, and it will arrive in a day, please report back to the commander-in-chief as appropriate, and let us know the situation one by one."

When Yuchi Gong heard this, his headache became more severe.

If it is said that the loss of soldiers and defeats seriously damaged one's own interests and greatly reduced the strength of the team he relied on, then how to explain to the King of Jin is a more serious problem.

Now the King of Jin has given up on Tongguan, and led his army out in full force, assuming a stance of fighting to the death. He has the courage to succeed if he fails, and he wants to go directly to the city of Chang'an to leverage the situation in Guanzhong. As a result, the plan to open the Bashui line of defense almost failed, casting a haze over the entire plan.

If he hadn't successfully crossed the Bashui River and gained a firm foothold on the west bank, he might not even dare to meet King Jin at this moment...

But now he suffered a big defeat, and Cheng Yaojin is so cunning and greedy, who can guarantee that he won't launch an attack immediately after repairing his troops?

At that time, the one who will fight with his back will be himself.

If he loses the beachhead on the west bank of the Bashui River and retreats to the east bank in embarrassment, then he can go to King Jin to commit suicide and apologize...

What kind of feudalism, what inheritance for thousands of years, are just a cloud of smoke, which will disappear in a blink of an eye.

The most important thing is to stick to the ground under your feet.

At the same time, he thought of Liang Jianfang, an old subordinate who was recommended by him and accepted his favor...

……

Liang Jianfang also returned to his camp to treat the wound in the camp, but compared to Yu Chigong's raging anger, he was more angry and depressed.

Being played by Cheng Yaojin for a while, the lost soldiers almost died in the rebellious army, but in the end he had to accept Cheng Yaojin's compensation to recover the loss. Naturally, he couldn't get angry, and he could only hold back his depression .

Don't mention how uncomfortable it is...

Before the wound was healed, a soldier entered the tent and whispered, "General Su is asking to see you outside the tent."

Liang Jianfang was taken aback, and asked, "Which General Su?"

The soldier said: "Su Jia, General Su."

Liang Jianfang was startled, and his face changed: "Confused! At this time, everyone is the master, how can they have anything to do with each other at this time? If outsiders learn about it and spread it, I will become a traitor who eats inside and outside! Get him out of here immediately."

The two sides had just gone through a big battle, each suffered damage and the other suffered casualties, and as a result, just after the battle was over, the generals of the two armies got together... If it was spread, it would be a serious crime.

Regardless of the fact that the emperor has nothing to do with Cheng Yaojin, if Liang Jianfang dares to learn from Cheng Yaojin, the consequences will be disastrous...

The soldiers did not obey the order to withdraw, but continued to whisper: "General Su came here in disguise, it is impossible for others to recognize him, so there is no need for the general to worry."

Liang Jianfang stared fiercely at the soldier in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes, until the soldier stared red in the face, afraid to look at him...

Liang Jianfang was in a serious mood.

Although he is now a self-reliant army, he has nothing to do with Yu Chigong, but after all, he was recommended by Yuchi Gong to serve under his account for many years, and many cronies around him also made friends at that time, including Yu Chigong's eyes and ears. normal.

It must be no good for Yu Chigong to send people here, but if he refuses to see him, Bao Buqi will then spread the news that Yu Chigong sent people to come secretly from his own army. Even if he has not met him, he may not be able to say Clearly...

After a long time, he looked away, pulled off the jacket on the side and put it on, and said calmly, "Let him come."

"Here."

The personal soldier looked a little sad, and withdrew as ordered.

He has followed Liang Jianfang for many years, and has gone through fire and water many times, but now he has angered Liang Jianfang because of Yu Chigong's order that he cannot disobey. From now on, he will no longer be able to serve Liang Jianfang...

Liang Jianfang picked up the strong wine on the table to clean the wound and took a sip. The extremely pungent smell of the wine burned his throat and esophagus like fire, and when it flowed into his stomach, it was overwhelming, but it made his mind extremely clear.

Yu Chigong had just suffered a big defeat, why did he turn around and send his deputy to meet him?

All of a sudden, Liang Jianfang realized that this battlefield was actually the opportunity for this battle. Once it fell, the rebels would rush to the city of Chang'an. Not only those who stood by would take the opportunity to rely on King Jin to launch a fierce attack on Chang'an City, even those who had already fallen under the emperor's command Ambitious people who swear allegiance may not change their course and strike back at His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone lives for profit, individuals, families, factions... All motivations lie in the distribution of interests.Wherever more benefits can be obtained, people will scramble and flock to them.

Loyalty, benevolence, and morality can all be discarded.

What's more, the so-called loyalty, benevolence, and morality are just a guise to cover interests. As long as the interests are suitable, everything can be traded or discarded.

As for myself, I am standing on this battlefield that stirs up the situation of the empire at this moment...

Where do we go from here?
