This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!
Chapter 825 Volume 5 Changsun Wuji's Test
Chapter 825 Volume Changsun Wuji's Test
Faced with Yang Qianye's righteous words, Chang Sun Chong was somewhat helpless.
Indeed, he couldn't think of a better argument to refute it.
It’s not that it doesn’t make sense, the key is that it’s untenable.
Even if another country's troops were stationed in Sun Moon Mountain for a long time, he would not do it.
"Did His Majesty deprive Your Highness of the position of the Eastern Palace?" Fang Yiai was furious and immediately jumped out, took out a token and said, "Besides, who told you that we are called Changming Army? Open your eyes and see clearly, this is the order of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace!
We are the Sixth Leader of the Eastern Palace! Did you see clearly? "
As he spoke, Fang Yiai threw his sign of the Sixth Rate of the Eastern Palace at Yang Qianye.
"So it's General Yang in person. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight." Yang Qianye was not at all flustered. He took the token, looked at it carefully, and then respectfully returned Fang Yiai's token to him.
After saying that, Yang Qianye bowed and took his leave.
It was as if he had never been there before.
This made Fang Yiai stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "Is it that simple? It seems that Your Highness is still foresighted."
Although the Ming Dynasty’s army had its own organization, each person actually had two identity tokens.
In the Ming Dynasty, the identity tokens of each army were naturally used, but outside the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the badges of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace came in handy.
Sometimes, this does provide them with considerable convenience.
However, Chang Sun Chong frowned and said after a long while: "Don't be complacent, this matter is not that simple. Since they did this, it is obvious that they had this in mind. Didn't they expect you to do this?
Don't forget, Wanqi Pu broke into Taohe County using the same reason as you did.
How can people not be on guard?"
"I think so too." Xue Rengui, who had been silent, immediately echoed the words, "Although the Tang Dynasty's move was sudden, it was also well-founded, but it retreated too quickly.
This is not common sense. Put yourself in their shoes. If there is a large army stationed in our Ming Dynasty Sun and Moon Mountain, what would we do?
Do you really want them to drive a nail into my Sun Moon Mountain?"
Xue Rengui was a very cautious person. Even though he didn't say a word before, it was because he knew that the identities of Fang Yiai and others would be more useful at this moment.
Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of the Changming Army, he cannot express his opinion easily, otherwise things may develop into an irreversible situation.
However, he was not idle either. He was analyzing the intention of the Tang Dynasty throughout the whole process.
"General Xue, what do you think?" Upon hearing Xue Rengui say this, Chang Sun Chong asked immediately. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that his Highness seemed to think highly of General Xue.
If we talk about someone who truly rose to prominence in the Ming Dynasty, Xue Rengui was definitely one of them.
After organizing his words, Xue Rengui said, "The Tang Dynasty probably can't accommodate us anymore. Yang Qianye's visit today is just a courtesy before force.
This general feels that the Tang Dynasty may take action against our Changming Army."
"I just don't know to what extent they will go." Chang Sun Chong looked helpless when he heard this.
If it was just a political game, he would not be afraid. He had been influenced by Changsun Wuji since he was a child. Apart from old foxes like Fang Xuanling, he was not afraid of anyone.
"Prepare for the worst." Xue Rengui pondered for a moment and said, "Pass the order down. From now on, the Changming Army will be ready for battle 24 hours a day. All soldiers, including this general, will take turns to rest.
Weapons never leave hands, war horses never dismount!"
No matter what the Tang Dynasty was planning to do, Xue Rengui had to be ready.
Fang Yiai, who was originally filled with righteous indignation, suddenly became serious when he heard his general's words.
Although he was a reckless person, he would not compromise on executing military orders.
As for Chang Sun Chong, he did not say much, and immediately said: "Then I will also go and make some arrangements."
Before the armed conflict between the two countries, it became the battlefield for these civil servants.
……
On the other side is the residence of the General of the Left Guard.
That is Liang Jianfang’s residence.
Liang Jianfang was also not sleepy at all and was waiting for news from his subordinates.
But he was not in a hurry at all, and he was still calm and composed as he made some arrangements.
What is there to say?
Anyone who remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him can be appointed a general.
There is some truth in this statement.
I don't know how long I waited, but Yang Qianye walked in steadily: "I am here to see the general."
"How's the situation?" Liang Jianfang asked.
"Just as the general expected." Yang Qianye said immediately, "As soon as I explained my purpose, the boy from the Liang family took out the sign of the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace."
"Okay, that's great!" Liang Jianfang stood up immediately after hearing that. Even he couldn't help but clap his hands excitedly at this moment.
Seeing this, Yang Qianye hesitated for a moment, obviously wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Seeing Yang Qianye like this, Liang Jianfang was a little unhappy, "Brothers in the army are all straightforward. How can you survive in the army with your personality?"
What he said was true. It was fine when dealing with his superiors, but if he was like this towards his subordinates, it would be difficult to convince his soldiers.
Yang Qianye smiled awkwardly, and then said: "General, now that they have acknowledged their identities as the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace, why don't we ask His Majesty to issue an order to dispatch the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace to the south for support?
Considering the current situation of His Majesty being assassinated, it is reasonable for His Majesty to bypass the one in the Eastern Palace and directly dispatch the Sixth Officer of the Eastern Palace.
In this way, isn’t it a better solution to the problem? "
After listening to Yang Qianye, Liang Jianfang laughed, shook his head for a long while, and said, "If we really do what you said, His Majesty will probably scold us, and this is still the lightest punishment."
Seeing that Yang Qianye didn't understand, Liang Jianfang explained, "Whether it's the Changming Army or the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace, the reason they are like a nail stuck in Chang'an is to assist the one who ascends the throne in the future.
To take a step back, even if they were willing to retreat back to the Ming Dynasty, they would not go south.
If they are really forced to move south, they might really flee back to the Ming Dynasty. But at this time, they will become deserters. Do you think our Tang army will stop them?
If it's not difficult, it would be dereliction of duty, but if we try to stop them, it will inevitably be a big battle.
Even though they only have more than 10,000 people, if a fight really breaks out, even I am not sure of a win.
Moreover, not only were they unwilling to go south, but His Majesty and the officials in the court were also unwilling to let them go south.
After all, this is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty has to be on guard, right?
If the previous plot to assassinate Your Majesty really happens again, haha, the world will be in real chaos.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, they will not give others such an opportunity."
There are some things he can't say too clearly.
After all, it is a taboo for the respected emperor. But the meaning is very clear. No matter who was trying to murder His Majesty before, as long as the Changming Army goes south, I am afraid that someone will be restless again. At that time, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the blame will be put on the Changming Army.
Haha, that is the root cause of chaos in the world.
Yang Qianye thought about it and understood.
Although it was not stated explicitly, it was clearly meant to not give the princes any opportunity to take advantage.
"I am stupid." After bowing, Yang Qianye stood aside. He said nothing and just thought quietly.
"If you are stupid, there won't be many smart people in my Zuo Wuwei." Liang Jianfang said with a smile. He still valued Yang Qianye very much. He had always been like his right-hand man.
Most of the time, he was deliberately cultivating Yang Qianye. After all, it was not easy to have multiple people in the army who were willing to use their brains.
"Although you have been in the army for quite some time, to be honest, you still don't know how to handle things in the court. Sometimes, if you listen more and watch more, after a while, you will understand what the court is like."
As he spoke, Liang Jianfang also smiled awkwardly.
In the beginning, didn’t he suffer a lot of losses and be deceived a lot because of this?
"I understand." Yang Qianye cupped his hands and asked, "Then I will arrange the follow-up matters right away."
Liang Jianfang nodded and said no more.
To deal with the guys from Changming Army, Liang Jianfang didn't want to use tough measures right from the start. He was really worried about suffering losses at the hands of Changming Army.
It’s not that he can’t afford to lose, the key is that he can’t afford to lose face as a person.
If he really couldn't solve the problem of the Changming Army by using force, even if others didn't say anything, his future career would be ruined.
So he was also very cautious on this point.
……
Just when Liang Jianfang was thinking about how to deal with the Chang Ming Army, a group of uninvited guests arrived in Nathai Province in Siam.
"Greetings to all the uncles." When Cheng Chuliang saw Changsun Wuji and others, he almost bowed his head.
"You've made great progress, kid." Seeing Cheng Chuliang, Hou Junji and other veteran generals in the army immediately started to joke with him.
They are all veterans in the military, so they are naturally familiar with this guy.
"You've grown a lot stronger." Xue Wanche tried to hit Cheng Chuliang's shoulders twice and said with a smile.
"I already know why you are here, but His Majesty is fine now." Changsun Wuji joked with a smile.
Although Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied with this and angry with that, he did not have any temper towards the Cheng family at all.
There is no way around it. Cheng Yaojin is an impeccable person in the Tang Dynasty in terms of his work and conduct.
In addition, they have no political conflict, so the two families usually get along well.
“After receiving the news, His Highness immediately sent me and my men to come here in a hurry. I never expected that someone would dare to attack His Majesty.
I also ask all uncles to ask His Majesty to fight on my behalf. I will definitely kill all the remnants of Siam without a single one left alive!"
As Cheng Chuliang spoke, his face was filled with indignation.
But after he finished speaking, Wen Yanbo sneered disdainfully: "I do believe this. After all, not long ago, the Ming Dynasty massacred hundreds of thousands of people. The murderous intent was not ordinary."
"Duke Yu's words are so unreasonable." Cheng Chuliang did not get angry when he heard this, but asked in return, "Does that mean that if India robs our Ming envoys, we can't send troops?
I would like to ask, why did the Tang Dynasty army come to Siam?
Are you here to travel?"
"Hmph!" Wen Yanbo was too disdainful to argue with the junior. He snorted coldly and said no more.
Compared to Fang Yiai, the young and naive guy, Cheng Chuliang is much more experienced.
Seeing that Wen Yanbo stopped talking, he did not press his own agenda and immediately said to Changsun Wuji, "Your Highness was concerned about the safety of His Majesty. After learning about this, he wanted to come here overnight. However, the Tianzhu war is at a stalemate and His Highness could not leave. That is why he sent me here. I hope that you uncles can explain something to His Majesty."
"Alas, it's thousands of miles away. Even if Your Highness can come, it will be of no help. Your Majesty can understand." How could Changsun Wuji not know what Cheng Chuliang was thinking, but he didn't care.
This is something that everyone just needs to know.
To be honest, if Li Chengqian really came, people would be afraid. At this time, doing nothing would be the best result.
"By the way, I heard that Taoist Priest Sun from the Ming Dynasty was kidnapped?" Cheng Chuliang continued to ask, "I wonder if he is still missing now?"
Speaking of this, everyone felt embarrassed.
It has been quite some time since Sun Simiao was abducted. The Tang Dynasty has also sent many people to track down his whereabouts, but there has been no success so far.
Yuchi Jingde's outburst was somewhat related to this.
"Don't worry, Taoist Sun should be fine." Changsun Wuji said, "After all, the people who kidnapped Taoist Sun had no intention of harming him, and I don't think they will harm him either."
As he said this, he stared at Cheng Chuliang, trying to get the answer from his reaction.
However, this was bound to disappoint him, because Cheng Chuliang did not know the whereabouts of Sun Simiao. Hearing this, he pondered for a long time before saying, "My Great Ming Secret Service still has a lot of people in Siam, Zhenla, and Pyu. I will send someone to contact them and see if they have any news.
Here, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Hmm?" Changsun Wuji motioned Cheng Chuliang to continue.
Cheng Chuliang did not hesitate and continued: "If we find the whereabouts of Taoist Sun, if the enemy has too many troops, we hope that the Tang Dynasty can lend us a troop. After all, we are eager to go south this time, and we only have so many people.
Before coming, His Highness specifically instructed that no matter what the cost, Taoist Sun must be rescued.
His Highness said that even without His Highness, Ming Dynasty would still be Ming Dynasty if someone else took over, and the impact would not be too great. But if Ming Dynasty lost Taoist Priest Sun, it would not only be a loss for Ming Dynasty, but also a loss for people all over the world.
Taoist Sun is more important to the Ming Dynasty than any of us."
When everyone heard Cheng Chuliang say this, they were stunned.
It’s not that they didn’t doubt the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty was the last one to harm Sun Simiao.
But they never thought that in that person's eyes, Taoist Sun had such a high status.
"If you need it, it's no problem." Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Hou Junji said, "If you need it, I can lend you the retainers in my house."
"Then I would like to thank Duke Chen first." Cheng Chuliang immediately bowed.
He naturally knew what Hou Junji meant.
"Of course there is no problem with this." Changsun Wuji also said, "Master Sun is equally important to our Tang Dynasty."
Cheng Chuliang smiled but said nothing.
Just listen to this.
If he really had to say who values Taoist Sun the most, he thought it was his own prince.
