Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 465 How Many Steps Does a Coup Take?
In Yingzhou City, Fang Guoshou met up with the players who sneaked in first.

After Yu Chixin arrived in Tongliao, he sent his players to hide in Yingzhou City.

The best among them is a player named Pang Ju. He brought a few players to join the Young Tiger Camp of Xu Guidao's son Xu Xianyi, the governor of Pinglu, and was promoted by Xu Xianyi as brigade commander by relying on his beard and flattery. up.

Pang Ju saw Fang Guoshou, and immediately told Fang Guoshou the situation in Yingzhou City:
"Old Fang, Xu Xianyi mobilized our young tiger battalion to take over the defense of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion after the Pinglu Army's Jiedu Envoy stayed yesterday."

In fact, Fang Guoshou's image in the game is not old, but everyone knows that he is a highly respected history professor, so they call him that.

This house was bought by Pang Ju in Yingzhou City, Xu Xianyi didn't know how to lead the army at all, and the military discipline of the Young Tiger Camp was very lax.

Pang Ju found an opportunity, found a gap in the rotation, and returned to the house to meet Fang Guoshou.

Fang Guoshou frowned and asked, "Why did you transfer your Young Tiger Battalion to guard the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion?"

Pang Ju will inquire about the situation and said to Fang Guoshou:

"Shi Siming, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, issued an ultimatum to Xu Guidao, the governor of Pinglu, asking Pinglu to send [-] soldiers to Taiyuan in the spring. Xuanzhi went to the north to catch the wild hu, so we sent our young tiger camp to defend the Jiedushi's mansion."

Fang Guoshou frowned, thinking of the news that the Khitan Khan Yaonian Qulie appeared in the northern snow forest recently. Li Fusheng and Yelushun traveled northward for more than 100 miles, but they couldn't find any traces of a large population.

Fang Guoshou always felt that a mist shrouded the sky over Yingzhou. After hearing that Hou Xiyi and Wang Xuanzhi had taken away the eight hundred soldiers guarding the Jiedu envoy's mansion, Fang Guoshou clapped his hands and said, "It seems that Hou Xiyi and Wang Xuanzhi are about to do something. Already!"

All the players present were surprised, only Pang Ju seemed to have expected it, and he said to Fang Guoshou:
"Mr. Fang, I feel the same way. Now that the rumors of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion are very tight, Xu Guidao has ordered his son to be restrained, and he is not allowed to leave the mansion privately."

"I just don't know when they will start?"

Fang Guoshou thought for a while and said: "These eight hundred tooth soldiers are all elites that Xu Guidao has bought for a long time. Hou Xiyi wants a coup, and buying them is not a matter of a moment, and it may take a few days to launch it."

The players started to worry again.

The game Datang Fengyun is indeed addictive and has a strong sense of reality, but this task is too difficult to do.

Astute players found that seeking Pinglu must be a big task, but how to trigger the task and how to complete the task, except for a few high-end players, most ordinary players seemed to be plunged into the fog, unable to find clues at all.

In this Yingzhou coup, the only ones who could crack the situation were Fang Guoshou and Pang Ju.

At this time, a player said: "Old Fang, why don't we send a message to Boss Yuchi to lead the army in Tongliao City to capture Yingzhou City?"

Fang Guoshou shook his head and said: "There are only more than 2000 people in Tongliao City. It is not a big problem to occupy Yingzhou, but it is definitely not enough to control the whole Pinglu."

"Besides, there is no danger to defend between Pinglu and Fan Yang. If the big detour strategy is exposed, then Fan Yang's defenders will go north, and our strength will not be able to resist it."

Fang Guoshou's analysis is correct. Only a few elite troops and player troops can span the entire Mobei grassland.

This is also doomed that the early stage of the big detour strategy must be insignificant development, slowly accumulating strength.

If the army intervenes in the Yingzhou coup, it will startle the snake and attract the attention of the entire puppet Yan.

Since the army cannot be used, the players present are excited instead.

Of course, it is impossible for players to watch such a big event happen without getting a share of it!
Pang Ju said: "Old Fang, just say what you think, brothers will definitely support you!"

Fang Guoshou nodded and said: "According to the historical development, the coup d'état between Hou Xiyi and Wang Xuanzhi was successful. Wang Xuanzhi killed Xu Guidao again with poisoned wine, and he became the envoy of Pinglu as he wished, and Hou Xiyi became the envoy of the Pinglu army."

"After the coup d'état, Shi Siming sent his son Shi Chaoqing to attack Pinglu from Fanyang. In the end, Wang Xuanzhi was defeated and killed. Hou Xiyi wrote to the Tang Dynasty, requesting that the Pinglu army be moved to Qingzhou. Flee to land in Qingzhou."

No one expected that so many historical events would happen to a mere Pinglu Army.

Linked to the information in the game, all this happened so naturally.

Xu Guidao killed the former Jiedushi who was in charge, but he wanted to pass on the position of Jiedushi to his son, so he treated Wang Xuanzhi, the hero of the previous coup, slowly.

Wang Xuanzhi had already killed one Jiedu envoy, and now he was suspected by Xu Guidao, and the situation in Pinglu was so sensitive, it was normal for him to kill Xu Guidao again in a coup d'état, and repeatedly jumped to Datang's side.

It's just that the Pinglu army was too weak to defeat Shi Siming who guarded Fan Yang and Taiyuan Mansion. Wang Xuanzhi was defeated and killed, and Hou Xiyi led the remnants to flee to Qingzhou.

Pang Ju frowned and said, "That means Wang Xuanzhi and Hou Xiyi failed to defend Pinglu after the coup."

Fang Guoshou nodded and said: "That's true. When formulating the big detour strategy, we set the goal to occupy the west of Liaoning first, and then capture Yuguan, which is Shanhaiguan."

Everyone opened the map one after another. Fang Guoshou pointed to the mountains between the northeast and North China and said: "The Yanshan Mountains are steep, and there are few passages to enter and exit outside the customs. Moreover, North China is the old place of the Central Plains. The Great Wall has been repaired throughout the ages to defend the northern nomads."

"The only place where the army can pass is Yuguan. Controlling Yuguan will ensure the safety of the North China Plain."

"However, when we formulated the big detour strategy, we did not consider Pinglu's situation, because Pinglu once betrayed the puppet Yan, so now Yuguan, the great pass in the north, is controlled by Fan Yangjun."

"This is also the reason why Wang Xuanzhi and Hou Xiyi were quickly wiped out after they killed Xu Guidao and unleashed the banner of the Tang Dynasty."

The more he talked, the clearer Fang Guoshou's thoughts became.

"The coup does not require us to participate too much. What we need to do is to ensure that Wang Xuanzhi and Hou Xiyi will not openly break with the puppet Yan after the coup."

"When we infiltrate and control Pinglu, and then launch a war to capture Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, the first step of the great detour strategy will be completed."

Sure enough, after Fang Guoshou proposed the plan, the system popped up a prompt.

[Large epic task: Northern Chuming! 】

[Temporarily maintain the stability of Pinglu, gradually infiltrate the entire territory of Liaodong, and seek to seize Shanhaiguan! 】

[Task Reward 1: Experience rewards for each profession. 】

[Mission Reward 2: Epic Title - Down the Mountain Tiger, and get the corresponding forum badge. 】

It's not just Fang Guoshou and Pang Ju these players, as long as the players in the Northeast have received this large-scale epic mission.

Fang Guoshou's forehead stretched out, and his guess was right.

This task is actually divided into several steps. The first is to overthrow Xu Guidao who is loyal to the false Yan.

Next, we must cooperate with Wang Xuanzhi, Hou Xiyi and others to let the puppet Yan admit that his power is excessive, and then slowly control the entire situation in Pinglu.

When the final step is to capture Shanhaiguan and completely control the outside of the pass, then the first step of the big detour strategy will be completed, occupying the strategic goal outside the northeast pass!
Now that the goal is clear and the "game system" has given the answer, Fang Guoshou has found his way.

He stood up and said, "We need to find Wang Xuanzhi or Hou Xiyi, and persuade them not to play up the banner of rebelling against the puppet Yan, and control this coup d'état to the change of power within the Pinglu Army!"

Pang Ju immediately asked: "But Wang Xuanzhi and Hou Xiyi have led their troops out of the city now?"

Fang Guoshou said: "It won't go far. They want a coup. It is absolutely impossible to attack Yingzhou City with only 800 people. Those who guard the city gate must have internal support to help them open the city gate."

"For such a big event, you have to come forward to plan it yourself. Otherwise, if the matter is leaked, you will die and your family will die. Therefore, one of the two will definitely sneak back to Yingzhou City."

"Everyone, work harder, and keep an eye on the gate guards for any changes."

When everyone thought of being able to participate in an ancient coup, they immediately said excitedly: "Understood!"

Fang Guoshou said to Pang Ju: "You have recently bought a few more officers and soldiers from the Young Tiger Camp. It is best to pull out a team to surrender to Wang Xuanzhi during the coup, so that we will have a chance to get close to him! "

"understand!"

Fang Guoshou went on to say: "Yingzhou City will soon be in chaos. This is a good opportunity for us to plan and control some key positions while taking advantage of the chaos, so as to prepare for capturing Pinglu in the future!"

"understand!"

After everything was arranged, the players dispersed one after another, and began to infiltrate Yingzhou City according to Fang Guoshou's order.

Some players pretending to be merchants are quietly hoarding food, some players have begun to infiltrate various yamen in Yingzhou City, and some players are taking advantage of this chaotic time to draw the city defense map of Yingzhou City.

Q: How many steps does it take to launch a military coup in ancient times?
This question has different answers in different dynasties and different regions.

But in the north of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, too many people have done this question, and they all gave the clearest answer in a very simple and crude way.

Answer: Kill the predecessor Jiedu, then win over the low-level soldiers to stand on their own feet, and then ask for honor from the superiors.

This step almost ran through the northern feudal towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xuanzhi, as a senior rebel general who once poisoned the old Jiedushi, was a pioneer of new tactics in the industry, familiar with various business processes, and a leading talent in the industry.

It took Hou Xiyi three days to buy off the [-] tooth soldiers that Xu Guidao had raised with a lot of money. Everyone was doing things with money, so what's the point of loyalty!

Five days later at night, Wang Xuanzhi and the east gate order of Yingzhou City opened the city gate, and [-] soldiers quietly entered Yingzhou City, and killed the Jiedu envoy's mansion!
