The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

If he loses this battle, he can only ask for help from Nan Chu, and may even have to bow his head and become a vassal, and he will lose the qualification to compete.

This is something Wang Yue doesn't want to see, and it's also something his soldiers don't want to see.

After all, Wang Yue is now distributing land tax based on the number of people. If the occupied land now belongs to Nan Chu, it is possible that all the land will be taken back, which is something that the soldiers of the three armies do not want to see.

Wang Yue was of course aware of this situation, so he felt that the army's morale was strong and they had the confidence to resist, so he didn't have to worry about rebellion in the country.

After all, after the expansion of the territory, there is also a new scope for conscription. Although the elite troops of the army have not increased much, their number is constantly expanding. The soldiers fighting for the land still have some combat effectiveness.

Just when Wang Yue was preparing to lead his army to war, Xu Hong, the former governor of Taizhou, suddenly came up to him.

Wang Yue was both interested in and wary of Xu Hong, after all, this guy was from the Lin family. Now that Xu Hong had come to him on his own initiative, he had someone call Xu Hong in.

When Xu Hong saw Wang Yue, he bowed respectfully from a distance, as if he had great respect for Wang Yue.

Wang Yue felt that there must be something wrong with the unusual situation, and that Old Man Xu must have something to ask him, so he calmly asked someone to serve tea to Xu Hong.

Xu Hong was very patient and waited until the tea was placed in front of him. After taking a sip of the tea, he said solemnly, "General Wang, you should make a name for yourself when you go to war this time, so that the soldiers know who they are fighting for. You can't be muddleheaded like before. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be affected."

Wang Yue understood that what Xu Hong said must represent the Lin family's opinion, but he didn't know whether it was Lin Xie or Lin Shu's opinion.

So, he pretended not to notice and asked curiously, "What suggestions does Mr. Xu have?"

Xu Hong took out a flag from his arms and slowly spread it out in front of Wang Yue's desk.

I saw a rising flame embroidered on the flaming red flag, and the word "Yue" embroidered in the flame, as if the word was reborn from the fire.

Xu Hong waited until Wang Yue's eyes fell on the flag, and then he said solemnly, "Although General Wang was born in the Red Flame Army, he has long since left the Red Flame Army. Now that the general has his own sphere of influence, it is time to raise his own flag.

Now this area belongs to the ancient Yue Kingdom, and General Wang's name is just Yue, so why not call yourself the King of Yue on the eve of the war? "

Wang Yue did not expect that the other party would let him become the king directly. However, this was a position where he could attack or defend. This move was quite ingenious. I wonder which fox came up with this idea?

After becoming a king, the people under his command will surely be promoted in their positions, and it can also rally people's hearts.

Instead of directly declaring himself emperor, he could have some talks with Daliang and even Nanchu to avoid a war to the death.

After all, Wang Yue had so many soldiers under his command, and it was not too exaggerated that he could be crowned a prince no matter which country he went to in the turbulent era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Wang Yue had to admit that he was moved. He asked uncertainly, "Is this what Marshal Lin meant?"

Xu Hong shook his head and said helplessly, "The Marshal is still in prison and does not allow the Young Marshal to enter Nanjing. This is the Young Marshal's intention."

Wang Yue couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion, "Where is the young commander now? Where is he now?

We haven't heard from him since we left Meiling. If he is still here, his prestige will surely boost the morale of the troops."

Xu Hong shook his head and said helplessly, "General Wang, don't underestimate yourself. Now, this army of more than 100,000 is supported by you alone. With the character of the young marshal, he certainly won't come to occupy the nest.

Moreover, Marshal Lin is still in Kyoto to mediate and save the Lin family and Prince Qi. The young marshal needs to lead the Akabane Army outside and be ready to rescue the clansmen at any time. He will not compete with General Wang. "

Wang Yue frowned. He always felt that Old Man Xu was hinting at something.

He stared into Xu Hong's eyes and asked calmly, "What can I do? We still have 20,000 naval forces that have not been deployed. We can go to Jingzhou and rescue people in Nanjing at any time."

Seeing Wang Yue taking the initiative to bring up the rescue, Xu Hong said awkwardly, "I want to thank General Wang on behalf of the young commander. The young commander meant that if possible, the navy could escort 39288977 Red Flame Army soldiers to Lingnan to join him. As long as the Red Flame Army is still there, the Lin family will be safe." .

Chapter 74: Debate

Wang Yue did not answer immediately. He took out the map and looked at it. He found that the Lingnan area was connected to Nanchu in the east and Nanmu Palace in the west. By controlling this place, he could help each other with Nanmu Palace and form a natural country within a country.

Could it be that Lin Shu is going to follow the example of Prince Mu's Palace, thinking that since the Red Flame Army has its own territory, they are not afraid that the emperor will dare to take action?

Or did Lin Shu discover an opportunity that he didn't know about, and wanted to use his tremendous achievements to force Emperor Liang to pardon the Lin family and Prince Qi?

Wang Yue thought about it and felt that no matter why Lin Shu did this, it was feasible.

Among the more than 30,000 Red Flame Army soldiers under his command, only more than 10,000 are truly loyal to him, and the rest must still be grateful to the Lin family.

After all, most of the family members have not moved in yet. Although they have obtained the land, no one is farming it, so they still live in the Lin family's Yuyin.

However, the war is imminent. If we withdraw 20,000 elite soldiers at this time, I am afraid the morale of the army will be shaken.

Wang Yue did not refuse, but looked at Xu Hong and said seriously, "Old Xu, I will not beat around the bush with you. The young marshal wants to summon the Red Flame Army, and I will certainly not stop him. After all, I am also an old member of the Red Flame Army, and I should do my best for the young marshal.

But now the war is imminent, and except for the Red Flame Army, most of the other soldiers under my command are just recruits or even surrendered soldiers. If the Red Flame Army is withdrawn at this time, it is very likely that the army will collapse without a fight.

Elder Xu, how about we withdraw these troops after the battle?"

Xu Hong had been watching Wang Yue. He saw that Wang Yue did not get angry or refuse when he learned about this, but was calm and clear about the pros and cons. He also promised to give the soldiers after the battle, which made him admire him very much.

He felt that such a person would have a promising future and was worth making friends with. The Lin family needed such an ally.

He was also afraid that Wang Yue and Lin Shu would misunderstand and cause a rift between them, so he quickly explained, "Young Marshal feels that the Qiantang River defense line you arranged is not particularly stable. It would be better to expand the scope and change it to defending the Yangtze River defense line, which would be more secure.

He had arranged for Wei Zheng to lead 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to arrive near Jiankang Danyang, and when the troops of Wujun in Danyang were transferred to besiege Kuaiji, Wei Zheng would launch a surprise attack on Wujun's fiefdom.

Once we capture that place and free the Red Flame Army from any worries, they will immediately join forces with us to attack the Daliang troops in the direction of Kuaiji.

The young marshal feels that as long as both sides cooperate well, we will be able to conquer Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

After the battle in Jiangdong is over, the Major General will lead the withdrawn Red Flame Army to Nandingzhou."

Wang Yue was secretly shocked when he heard Xu Hong's analysis. These aristocratic families were really powerful.

When they separated, the Lin father and son only had 6,000 men, but not long after, they had 30,000 soldiers again.

No wonder Lin Shu’s Jiangzuo League can dominate Jiangzuo in the TV series. It feels like it’s because of the Lin family’s profound foundation.

Since Lin Shu wanted to help first and then take the Red Flame Army away, Wang Yue felt relieved. This would benefit both families.

However, he still had a question in his mind. Logically, Lin Shu was not the kind of person who would easily betray his country, so why would he help him conquer Jiangdong this time?

Wang Yue remembered that in the TV series, the Jiangzuo League had been helping the Daliang court to stabilize the situation in Jiangzuo, leaving Nanchu no chance to attack Jiangzuo.

From this point we can see that if Mei Changsu wanted to rebel, he would have had the opportunity, but he did not rebel and even complained about his virtue.

No matter what Lin Shu's reason was, since Wang Yue had made the decision, he would execute it immediately.

He discussed the details with Xu Hong, and then began to make arrangements. On the surface, he stepped up the training of new soldiers and arranged for full-line defense, but secretly he transferred heavy troops to the vicinity of Yuhang.

However, Wang Yue soon found out why Lin Shu was willing to help with all his strength. It turned out that the one who led the attack this time was his old acquaintance Xie Yu.

Because of the last incident, Xie Yu was stripped of his position as commander of the Western Border Army and was originally under house arrest.

However, the incident in Jiangdong this time left Daliang with not only no soldiers to send but also no generals to choose from, and Xie Yu was able to gain merit while being guilty of a crime.

The Daliang court debated this matter many times, but found that the only two suitable to lead the troops were Lin Xie and Xie Yu. However, both of them were criminals, so it was difficult to decide who to use.

Those who originally supported Xie Yu did not have the confidence to challenge those who supported Lin Xie. However, everyone can see clearly now that Emperor Liang is determined to deal with Xie Yu and Lin Xie.

Therefore, under Emperor Liang's favoritism, those who supported Xie Yu also felt more confident.

That day, Emperor Liang looked at the court officials who were quarreling below and said angrily, "That bastard has already won the title of King of Yue, but you haven't yet come up with a name. We must settle the matter today, otherwise no one can go back."

But after Emperor Liang finished speaking, the officials below remained silent. After arguing for so many days, both sides were tired of it.

Emperor Liang became even more annoyed when he saw this scene. He slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily, "Aren't you all good at talking? Today you are dumb."

Although Yan Que knew that this was not the time to speak, he also knew that this was a good opportunity for Lin Xie to be re-employed.

As long as Emperor Liang realizes that Daliang cannot do without Lin Xie, then Lin Xie and Prince Qi still have hope of turning the tables.

So he stepped out of the line and bowed to the two places, and said very solemnly, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lin Xie. Only General Lin can put down the rebellion in Jiangdong."

His words seemed to be the beginning of something. As soon as he finished speaking, another person stepped out and said, "I think this is inappropriate. Lin Xie is suspected of treason. We absolutely cannot give him the opportunity to lead the troops."

Yan Que stared angrily at Xia Jiang who was speaking, and said in a cold voice, "Master Xia, the case of Lin Xie has not been thoroughly investigated yet, how can you conclude that Lin Xie is plotting a rebellion!"

Xia Jiang was well prepared this time. He immediately took out a memorial, bowed to Emperor Liang and said, "Your Majesty, this is the latest news from the Xuanjing Division. There is evidence that Lin Xie was involved in the rebellion."

Yan Que's face changed. He didn't know what Xia Jiang had concocted. He snorted coldly, but said nothing. He just wondered what conspiracy Xia Jiang had prepared this time.

Emperor Liang signaled Eunuch Gao to bring up the memorial. After he opened it and took a few glances at it, he couldn't help but throw the memorial at Yan Que.

"Look, this is the loyal Lin Xie you mentioned? What else do you have to say!"

Of course Yan Que didn't reply immediately. He picked up the wrinkled document and read it. He was also shocked.

He never expected that the Red Flame Army would actually rebel. The King of Yue, Wang Yue, was originally a member of the Red Flame Army. This was really troublesome.

However, he couldn't just let Lin Xie plead guilty to treason. This not only concerned the Lin family, but also Prince Qi and even more so Concubine Chen!

He closed the memorial, then snorted and said, "Your Majesty, it is clearly written in this memorial that King Yue of Yue was from the Red Flame Army, but what does this have to do with General Lin Xie?"

Xia Jiang finally caught Lin Xie's evidence, how could he let him go so easily? Without waiting for Emperor Liang to answer, he immediately retorted, "Wang Yue was from the Red Flame Army. When he captured Taizhou and Wenzhou, he used the missing remnants of the Red Flame Army! Do you think there is any connection?" 39288639.

Chapter 75: I refuse to accept the result!

Yan Que knew in his heart that the Chiyan Army’s rebellion was now confirmed, but he absolutely could not let this matter implicate Lin Xie.

He pretended to be dismissive and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, General Lin Xie said in the court debate a few days ago that after he defeated the Imperial Army of Dayu, he was ambushed by Xie Yu's Red Flame Army, which caused more than a dozen generals and soldiers under his command, and he himself was also seriously injured.

He had no choice but to let Lin Shu go to the capital to sort things out, while he went to Yaowang Valley to recuperate and handed the Red Flame Army over to Commander Wang Yue.

Later, General Lin Shu was attacked on the road and his life or death was unknown. General Lin Xie went to Beijing to investigate and was imprisoned again. Wang Yue was angry and rebelled. What does this have to do with General Lin Xie?

If you accuse General Lin Xie of not being able to judge people, I will not refute him on this point, but if you accuse him of rebellion, I think Lin Xie is wrongly accused! "

He was almost pointing his finger at Emperor Liang's nose and saying that it was all because of his stupidity and incompetence that he forced the people below to rebel!

How can a general defend against foreign enemies in the front while you send soldiers to stab them from behind?

Even a clay man would have some temper. It's only natural for others to rebel if you do this!

As expected, Emperor Liang's face darkened when he heard this. He took out a memorial from the jade table, threw it to Yan Que, and said angrily,

"Take a look at this memorial. Long before I issued the order to arrest Lin Xie, he had already sent Wang Yue to lead 7,000 Red Flame Army soldiers to Taizhou. Do you still dare to say that this was not premeditated?"

This memorial was submitted by Xia Dong at the beginning. She was deceived by Xia Jiang at that time and thought that her husband Xia Feng had been killed by Lin Xie, so she insisted on killing the Chiyan Army and also investigated the whereabouts of Wang Yue.

However, Emperor Liang was full of confidence at the time and felt that he could defeat the Red Flame Army in one battle, so he did not take this memorial to heart.

But now it’s different. This memorial seems to be telling the court officials that Lin Xie had planned this in advance.

Yan Que checked the memorial and couldn't help but frowning, but he was a very shrewd man and there was no trace of surprise on his face.

After reading the contents in detail, he bowed to Emperor Liang and said, "Your Majesty, which general in Daliang has not arranged his troops in this way? If you accuse the loyal Lin Xie of treason just because of this, I will not accept it!"

What Yan Que said was indeed correct. There was a folk song circulating in several northern countries that goes, "A general dies in a hundred battles, and a warrior returns after ten years."

This poem not only describes that after a long war, some generals and soldiers died while others are still alive. It also reflects a problem that no matter how powerful a general is, he may die on the battlefield.

If the general wants to stay alive, he must be more loyal to his soldiers. Only if his warriors fight bravely and kill the enemy can he increase his chances of surviving the war.

Many generals would have a group of loyal soldiers, and even the poorest generals would have some loyal followers. In order to win the hearts of the people, it was normal for the generals not to buy land for the soldiers.

Therefore, just as Yan Que said, if Emperor Liang wanted to convict General Lin Xie based on this point alone, then all the generals in Daliang would be in danger.

Emperor Liang became even angrier. He took one look at the generals standing in the hall and understood what they were worried about.

Xia Jiang was a sinister and cunning person, and of course he understood the emperor's thoughts best. He also knew that he probably had no chance to convict Lin Xie this time.

So he immediately spoke up, "Lord Yan, your majesty is going to decide on the candidate to lead the army to quell the rebellion. Without evidence to prove his innocence, I'm afraid Lin Xie is not suitable to lead the army. Who knows if he will take the opportunity to surrender to the enemy.

The rebellious Wang Yue proclaimed himself king, but is there an emperor above him? I wonder who the emperor is in his mind? "

Lord Yan was furious. Wang Yue proclaimed himself king, just like those mountain kings who occupied the mountains as kings. He just wanted to leave a way out for himself and wait for the court's recruitment.

But in Xia Jiang's mouth, it became an excuse for the loyal Lin Xie, which was really heartbreaking.

He was extremely angry. He originally thought that Prince Qi was too hasty in wanting to abolish the Xuanjing Division. After all, it was the emperor's eyes and ears. Even if Prince Qi wanted to abolish it, he would have to wait until he ascended the throne.

But now it seems that the ability of Xuan Jing Si to call a horse a deer is really too terrifying. Prince Qi is still very far-sighted.

However, that was all for the future. He knew that Xie Yu and Xia Jiang were in cahoots with each other, so he bowed to Emperor Liang and said in a heavy voice, "Your Majesty, in this case, I recommend General Meng Zhi. He is loyal to Your Majesty, and I think Lord Xia will not doubt him anymore, right?"

How could Xia Jiang not understand Yan Que's thoughts? Xie Yu took all the blame for encircling and suppressing the Chiyan Army without surrendering, just to save his own life.

If he didn't give Xie Yu a chance today, Xie Yu would most likely drag him down.

So, he still refuted, "Your Majesty, Commander Meng also came from the Red Flame Army. I think he is not suitable either!"

In fact, Emperor Liang was inclined to support Meng Zhi. He felt that with Meng Zhi's intervention, the rebels would understand that he was only targeting Lin Xie and would not implicate anyone else, which would help to quickly quell the rebellion in Jiangdong.

However, the three words "Red Flame Army" were like a thorn in his heart, constantly reminding him that it was because of his willful behavior, false accusations against loyal officials, and the missed opportunity to destroy Dayu and expand the territory.
