Monument Yangmen

Chapter 281
Yang Yanding said decisively: "Li Huan's army is still in Jiaozhi County, and the whole area of ​​Jiaozhi is almost empty. We can surprise Hualu, take down the capital of Jiaozhi, and loot all the wealth and royal family in the capital of Jiaozhi.

As long as King Jiaozhi and Queen Mother Jiaozhi are captured by us in Licheng, Li Huan will have to fight us in Licheng. "

With his hands behind his back, Yang Yansi muttered, "Would it be a little risky? With our current troops, it is easy to be divided and wiped out in a long-term battle."

Yang Yanding invited Yang Yansi and Yang Yanguang to enter Licheng, and the three brothers were in the city lord's mansion of Licheng.

Yang Yanding spread out the Jiaozhi map, on which he had planned in advance his curious route to attack Hualu.

"As long as we cross this big mountain, the rest of the road will be flat. According to our army's marching speed, we can reach Hoa Lu within three days. With the strength of our army, it only takes two days to take Hoa Lu." day, enough to break the city."

Yang Yanguang carefully calculated the marching route Yang Yanding planned, and said in a low voice: "It takes six days to travel, and two days to attack the city, a total of eight days. Once Hua Lu is attacked, someone will definitely go to Li Huan for help. It will take two days. If Li Huan wants to lead Qingqi to help Hualu, it will also take four days.

Calculated from the time, we have one day left, even if we encounter obstacles on the way to withdraw, we still have time to maneuver.

I think this plan works. "

Yang Yansi also thought about it, and felt that Yang Yanding's plan was indeed feasible.

It's just that the surprise attack on Hoa Lu is a bit strict on the timing.

If they can't withdraw from Hualu on time, they will easily collide with Li Huan's reinforcements, and there will inevitably be a deadly battle.

The most important thing is that once the surprise attack on Hoa Lu is successful.

If Li Huan withdrew his troops and came back to help, then wouldn't that mean giving Hou Renbao a chance.

Without Li Huan in charge, Jiaozhi soldiers are definitely not Hou Renbao's opponent.

At that time, Hou Renbao will drive straight in, even if Yang Yansi wins Jiaozhi, he will inevitably have to fight Hou Renbao.

Let Yang Yansi lead a group of slang and bureaucrats to kill the children of the Han family, he is not willing.

Yang Yansi hesitated and said: "Brothers, in my opinion, can we wait until Li Huan and Hou Renbao fight hard, and then we will surprise Hua Lu again. The big victory will be in front of Li Huan However, Li Huan might not necessarily withdraw his troops and return to aid. Moreover, even if Li Huan wanted to withdraw his troops and return to aid, Hou Renbao would not let him leave easily.

In this case, the battle situation is more favorable to us. "

"This……"

Yang Yanding frowned and hesitated for a moment.

Yang Yanguang and Yang Yanding looked at each other, and he said in a deep voice, "Seventh brother, do you really not understand the intention of my second brother and I?"

Yang Yansi raised his eyebrows, thought for a while before replying.

"You two brothers, do you want to fight for a chance for Hou Renbao, and plan to donate the Cochin we won?"

Yang Yanguang said with some embarrassment: "Seventh brother, this is an opportunity for you and me. As long as we sacrifice our cochin, not only will we not be guilty, but we will be meritorious. The position of a state prince will not be able to escape. My Yang family It will also be promoted to the ranks of the top generals of the Song Dynasty, and you and my brothers don't have to cut ourselves off from the Yang family."

Yang Yansi sat down slowly, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Yang Yanguang's words were correct, but if he really followed Yang Yanguang's words, a duke's title would indeed be lost.

But based on what their three brothers did in Jiaozhi, even if Zhao Guangyi would give the Yang family a duke title, he would deprive the Yang family of all military power.

At that time, the heirs of the Yang family will be kept in Bianjing city as pigs just like the heirs of the Shi family.

Doing so contradicts Yang Yansi's plan, and may not be able to reap benefits.

Once the Yang family loses their military power, Zhao Guangyi has ten thousand ways to make the Yang family disappear from this world.

"I don't agree with that."

Yang Yansi thought over and over again and made his own decision.

Yang Yanguang said anxiously: "Seventh brother, do you really want our brother to exterminate himself in the Yang family and live in this alien land from now on. Even after death, will he become a lonely ghost?"

Yang Yansi stood up and said solemnly: "As long as we control Jiaozhi, only our three brothers will become lonely ghosts. But once we sacrifice Jiaozhi, I'm afraid that at that time, the benevolence of our entire Yang family will become Lonely ghost."

"What's the meaning of this?"

Yang Yanding and Yang Yanguang stood up in surprise when they heard the words.

Yang Yansi let out a long sigh, "Second brother, third brother, on the military front, you are invincible generals, but in politics, your thinking is too simple.

Once we donate cochin, it seems that we have meritorious service, and we will also be rewarded.However, His Majesty will fear my Yang family because of this, even if my Yang family surrenders all military power, it may not be able to live comfortably.

Your Majesty will be suspicious of our Yang family, and all the officials in the court will regard our Yang family as someone with a different heart.At that time, we will definitely make things difficult, and my Yang family will struggle in Bianjing City. "

Yang Yanding said in a deep voice: "Can't we learn from Zhejia?"

Yang Yansi smiled wryly and shook his head, "I've thought about this idea a long time ago, but the Yang family is the Yang family, and the Zhe family is the Zhe family. Since Li Tang, the Zhe family has been dominating the northwest, and has been lingering in the northwest for hundreds of years. The Zhe family has The management of the Fuzhou land is watertight, and no water can be poured in. No matter who Zhao Guangyi sends to Fuzhou, he will not get any benefits, and he has to rely on Zhejia in the end.

Our Yang family is different, father and several brothers don't know how to manage the place.So it's not the foundation.

Cochin is tentatively decided, so there is no business at all.Once we hand over Jiaozhi, the imperial court will definitely send other people to manage it, and then Jiaozhi will also be controlled by the imperial court.

We don't have anything to rely on, how can we compare with Zhejia? "

Yang Yanguang whispered: "Is it wrong for us to be loyal to the imperial court?"

As soon as Yang Yanguang said this, the three brothers fell silent.

Is it wrong to be loyal to the court?
This question is really difficult to answer.

As a minister, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the court.

However, not all emperors can tolerate the existence of people with great achievements, nor can they tolerate the existence of people who threaten the throne.

Even if these people are loyal to the imperial court, they can only end up with a tragic death.

"I want to be alone."

After a long silence, Yang Yanding dropped these words and went to the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang Yanguang also left after him.

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Yansi was the only one left.

Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are what every ancient person pursued in his life.

Yang Yansi didn't have a deep understanding of this kind of education, so he couldn't give up his life for the sake of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.

But he can understand a thing or two of the entanglement and embarrassment in the hearts of the two brothers.
