The devil is coming

Chapter 823
Nanmenguan;
General Ran has just received the envoys from Zhao, Qi and Wei. Yes, he has received them;
Later, after entering the customs, the envoys from the three countries will go to Yanjing to meet with His Majesty the Emperor of Yan.
at this time,
Ran Min stood on the city wall of Nanmen Pass with a knife in his hand, looking south. Behind him, stood a group of trusted people.
As your status continues to improve, a framework will naturally gather around you. You don't even have to look for it yourself. Those people will come to you like moths to a flame.
Of course, there is a lot of mud and sand here. If you want to choose the best one, you must keep your eyes open and put more thought into it. In this world, most capable people are still arrogant and will not fight with those coquettish bitches unless they have to. Likewise, he takes the initiative to flatter you in order to seek luck.
For example, in Fengxin City, every day, disgraced scribes from Yan, Jin, Chu, Qian, and other small countries hang out in the teahouses, restaurants, soup cake shops on the outer streets of Pingxi Wangfu that are said to be frequented by princes. Either recite poems and compose poems or express one's thoughts directly to promote one's strategy, just to get the chance to jump over the dragon's gate.
Of course, while the lord is selecting talents, the talents will also take the initiative to select the lord.
Some people think that although Prince Pingxi's palace is a high place, but his family status is too high to catch a bite of soup on the first trip, it is better to settle for the next best thing and find a rising star like Prince Pingxi to join him.
Ran Min is an excellent choice.
It can only be said that the rise of Prince Pingxi is so dazzling that it has obscured the light of too many people, making them look slightly dim in comparison. But in fact, if you take a closer look, you can still see:
Mom, it's so delicious.
Ran Zongbing, who had grown a beard, pointed at the guide surface.
A scribe named Yang next to him immediately said:
"What the benefactor sees is his own merit."
Ran Min laughed,
shake your head,
Road:
"Mr. Yang should answer when someone asks what do you think someone is looking at, or when one of the guards around him helps someone ask these questions, so that it seems more appropriate."
The scribe named Yang smiled and said:
"So that the benefactor will know that Yang has always been a clumsy speaker, and he is worried that when the benefactor asks, he will not be able to log in to the first floor one step ahead of his colleagues;
Only then did he get the upper hand. "
For a moment, Ran Min and everyone around him laughed.
The scholar surnamed Yang waited for everyone to finish laughing, then he spoke again: "This time the envoys from the four countries came to Beijing, they will sign an alliance under the leadership of me, Dayan. After the agreement is signed, I, Dayan, will nominally go south to encircle the territory." Qianli, all of this is the result of the benefactor.”
"It's not done yet, so I don't dare to take credit. At the very least, your Majesty may not really appreciate such a simple alliance. It's just a piece of paper. I, Dayan, have always..."
Ran Min wanted to say that his family, Dayan, had always used the covenant as a wiping paper.
But he hesitated and stopped.
"No, no, no, the benefactor will focus on the guidance of my Yan army in the covenant this time. Even among the armies of the four countries, there will be our generals of the Yan army. When we work together, the position of the benefactor will definitely be obtained. A rising tide lifts all boats.”
Ran Min himself contributed to these things.
After taking up the post of Commander-in-Chief of Nanmen Pass, he immediately began to lobby the small countries in the south, using coercion and inducement, and using many methods. Originally, the progress would not be that fast. All countries were nominally obedient to Dayan, but in fact everyone Do not want others to interfere in your military affairs;
It happened that King Pingxi led his army into Chu, and there was a battle in Fancheng. He captured the general of Chu alive and killed Yizhu;
This greatly shocked Zhao, Wei, and Qi, who were still wavering, and the covenant was quickly pushed forward.
It can be said that Ran Min reaped the dividends of Prince Pingxi at Nanmen Pass.
After the merger is completed, even if Ran Min, as the initiator, cannot directly become the "Emperor" of the four countries, his status will definitely be promoted by the Yan court to match his next work.
As the stall gets bigger, your treatment will also improve.
According to the estimates of his subordinates, after the matter is over and the four kingdoms are completely surrendered, Ran Min will at least be granted the title of general. It is not impossible to even be granted the title of uncle like Prince Pingxi in front of Xueguan in the past.
At this time, Ran Min seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is there any news from Uncle Yi Shan?"
"Replying to my benefactor, my subordinates have just received the news. After the imperial envoy came down, Yi Shanbo seemed to have a dispute with the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy deprived the Tiger Talisman of his military power and has now handed it over to the deputy general."
Yishan Bo, whose surname is Chen Mingyang, is the oldest among the former Jingnan Army generals.
Another scribe named Xu said: "Uncle Yishan can't see the direction of the wind, and he still thinks that King Jingnan is here.
King Pingxi was so favored by His Majesty and took in the crown prince. How could he be willing to mix in these troubled waters? But they were still dissatisfied and tried to continue to control the majestic days of King Jingnan. Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing His Majesty?
My benefactor, according to my subordinates, depriving the tiger talisman is only the first step. Next, the imperial court will definitely move a group of Yishanbo's generals to other places, completely removing Yishanbo's control over his troops.
The place where Yi Shanbo is stationed is not far from my Nanmen Pass, and it was originally intended to support Nanmen Pass. My benefactor, my subordinates believe that this army and horses, my benefactor, can..."
"No, no."
The scholar surnamed Yang retorted: "If anything is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind. Prince Pingxi was able to be so domineering back then, firstly because of the care of King Jingnan, and secondly because of the deep relationship between him and His Majesty. Therefore, Prince Pingxi You can keep asking for it at that time;
My benefactor, we still need to take it step by step. Don’t be greedy for more, otherwise you will definitely bite off more than you can chew. "
"Mr. Yang is saying that a certain person is not as lucky as King Pingxi, hahaha..."
Everyone laughed together.
for a while,
Ran Min spoke again:
"Yi Shanbo's troops don't dare to ask for anything now, but they are willing to provide convenience. I decided to ask Mr. Yang to go to the imperial envoy's camp and tell the imperial envoy who he wanted to recommend. I also followed suit. Recommended, sell him a favor first and then talk.
Moreover, there is no need to worry about X. When the unification of the four countries is completed, X's identity will no longer be limited to the general soldier. By then, Yi Shanbo's troops will have to listen to X's call at any time. "
"My benefactor has a high position and is not arrogant. My subordinates admire me!"
"I'm waiting for admiration!"
"I'm waiting for admiration!"
"Gentlemen, I am serious. I am just a rough man. He is as strong as Prince Pingxi. It is said that he has talented people like Fan Li to assist him.
I will rely on you more in the future, and I will never let you down in the future! "
"I am willing to serve my benefactor!"
"I am willing to serve my benefactor!"
……
"Go, go, go, don't see me, I don't see you, I don't see you!"
Chen Yang kicked over the bodyguard who came to report.
"Killing donkeys when unloading mills, killing donkeys when unloading mills, how dare they do this!
I don’t believe that this is the imperial court’s will, and I don’t believe that this is His Majesty’s will either.
Your Majesty cannot be so short-sighted. Even if Your Majesty wanted to take over my uncle's military power, he would not be so eager!
On the contrary, these people working below are using chicken feathers as..."
Chen Yang's chest rose and fell.
"Haha, let them do it, let them do it, you can take the military power as long as you want. I want to see who among the guys under my command dares to take over from me!"
Chen Yang sat on the chair, breathing heavily. His soldiers stood there, and no one dared to come out to persuade him.
...
Sushan Camp is located at the foot of Sushan Mountain. From here, to the south, it can support Nanmen Pass, to the east, it can echo Litian City, and to the north;
During the period of Wenrenjia, we could guard against the Helian family to the north, and drive directly towards the Horseshoe Mountain to the west;
If Litian City was the economic, political and cultural center during the reign of the Wen family, then Sushan was the military center. This was determined by the geography and the surrounding external forces.
When King Jingnan and King Zhenbei led Dayan's most elite cavalry into Nanmen Pass, they immediately captured the empty Sushan Mountain. From there, the famous ten-day decisive battle of thousands of miles began, creating the creation of Zhuxia A classic of large-scale cavalry group combat in history.
And now,
After the Yan people ruled Jin,
The Sushan Camp was inherited and was garrisoned by soldiers and horses from Yishan Bo's town.
Fifty miles away from Sushan Daying, there is Suzhou City. Like Sushan Daying, this city is also an important transit point for east-west, north-south trade due to its superior geographical location. Secondly, it is adjacent to Sushan Daying. Daying The transportation of supplies and the expenses incurred by the Qiu Ba during their duties have greatly promoted the development of local commerce.
In this era, among the tens of thousands of groups, Qiu Ba can be said to be the best among them in terms of having enough money on hand and being willing and willing to spend it;
Of course, there is a premise here, it must be the Taiping Period, otherwise being adjacent to such a large-scale military stronghold will not be a blessing but a source of trouble.
at this time,
In a restaurant in Suzhou City, a man dressed as a scholar sat down, and opposite him, a businessman sat.
The identities of the two are simple and clear;
The scholar came from the Qian Kingdom. Suzhou City was a big city that had heard about people's territory. It was known that people were good at calligraphy. Chen Daole, who belonged to the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, was born into the Chen family. Originally, he also knew about people's territory;
Even if the Yan people occupied this place, even if the Yan people were ignorant of the romance, the centuries-old tradition still resulted in a large number of scholars here.
After the State of Yan opened the imperial examination in the Jin region, the Jinshi from the Wen family almost crushed the Helian family and the Situ family. There was no way, the cultural atmosphere of the three places was really very different.
In the end, as a last resort, in order to balance the political resources of the Jin region, the imperial court had to take measures to divide the rankings so that the scholar family of Wenren's family would not dominate.
The scholar's surname is Ming, and his name is Mingyilou. He is indeed a scholar and a native of Jin, but behind him, there is the shadow of the Silver Armored Guard.
It is impossible for Fanzi Yamen to do everything in detail, and it is also impossible to create a scale where the whole world is filled with its own people, but sometimes, it is not that they want to develop people, but people come to them on their own initiative.
In the past, Chen Daole was a member of the righteous men of Shanxi, and there were actually many people like Chen Daole.
Mingyilou saw that Jin had no hope of resisting the Yan people, so he found the Yinjia Guards. He did not need to buy money or recruit officials. He was willing to become the periphery of the Yinjia Guards, hoping to use the power of Ganren to overthrow the Yan people.
Chen Daole once told Prince Pingxi about his experience and this kind of people. He also asked Prince Pingxi if he thought such Jin people were strange or ridiculous.
Unexpectedly, Prince Pingxi simply shrugged his shoulders, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
And that merchant is from the Xie family.
While the Pingxi Prince's Mansion in eastern Jin Dynasty vigorously carried out the smuggling business, it also had a huge side effect, that is, while the Pingxi Prince's Mansion strengthened its understanding and familiarity with the Chu region and even deployed manpower to instigate rebellion, the other party could also extend its hand again. Jindi, you touch mine, and I'll touch yours, let's all come together.
The Prince of Pingxi is not afraid of being touched. First, there are few people under his rule, and they are concentrated in a few large and small central areas. There are strict controls on foreign trade and all aspects. The most important thing is that an emerging and young man is on the rise. It was really difficult to infiltrate the early military groups, let alone instigate rebellion.
But in the land of the Three Jins, there is not only one Jindong. Jindong is indeed clean and clear, but other places are full of muddy water.
After the two sat down,
There was no conversation or analysis of the situation. They just took out a letter and then started eating and drinking.
After eating and drinking, the merchant settled the bill, held the scholar's hand, his eyes narrowed, the scholar wanted to refuse but was shy, and they got on the carriage together.
No one will find it strange, only that it is extremely normal.
In fairy tales from other places, it is the fox fairy who falls in love with the scholar, but in Jin, influenced by the Jin style, the fox fairy almost becomes a male.
A businessman accompanying a scholar is a perfect match in Jin;
After all, when merchants have money, they like to be elegant, and scholars are the representatives of elegance.
The carriage started to move, and when passing by a jewelry store, the merchant and the scholar came down to pick out two pieces of jewelry, and then returned to the carriage.
The waiter at the jewelry store took the two letters left by the two of them into the back hall and handed them to the boss.
The boss opened the letter and summarized the contents of the two letters.
The imperial envoy came to Sushan Camp and hired many scribes from Jin region as staff and clerks. Because Sushan Camp was run so well by Yishan Bo, there was no one available for the imperial envoy.
There was an elder brother and a colleague in Mingyi Tower, and what he sent was news from Sushan Camp;
What the merchants sent was news about the transshipment of grain and grass from another camp east of Litian City.
The owner of the jewelry store is a member of the Silver Armor Guard Baihu.
The Gan people have been stretching their hips on the frontal battlefield, but the Silver Armored Guards have always stood out from the crowd in the shadow battlefield, outperforming all their colleagues from other countries.
It’s no wonder that a minister from the Qian Kingdom once wrote a letter asking the Commander-in-Chief of the Silver Armored Guards to lead the troops.
Allowing a fanzi yamen boss to take over the military power frightened Governor Luo to the point where he knelt down in the palace all night, desperately confessing that the minister was just out of his mind or was stupidly "loyal to the country" and was not instigated by him. of!
now,
This Suzhou City Silver Armored Guard Baihu refined the two pieces of information as quickly as possible;
First, the conflict between the imperial envoy and Yi Shanbo has become irreconcilable. After the imperial envoy deprived Yi Shanbo of his military power, the deputy general Yi Shanbo and other guerrilla generals and generals all claimed to be ill and refused to cooperate. This forced the imperial envoy to let his own imperial envoys in the camp A military general took charge of the army. At the same time, the court issued a new decree and decided to punish Yishan Bo to scare the monkeys.
Second, the transfer of grain and grass to the east of Litian City means that Li Fusheng, who is originally stationed there, will be mobilized to replace the garrison of Sushan Camp.
The Baihu rubbed his eyes and added the next impact according to his own understanding.
Sushan Camp will lose the ability to fight for a long time;
Li Fusheng has an impatient personality and likes to rush forward and use troops aggressively.
Then,
This Baihu hesitated, because some words could be added or not. He could say it but it was not his turn to say it. If he did not say it, there would be merit, and if he said it, he might be at fault.
But thinking about Paoze who died in the land of Yan and Jin over the years, the people who were displaced when the Yan people went south to Qian State, and the shame of being besieged in Beijing,
The Baihu gritted his teeth.
Added another sentence:
The Imperial Envoy from Sushan Daying had a headstrong personality, was eager to do things, and insisted on his own way. The Emperor of Yan State had the appearance of a wise leader, and he must understand the principle of no change in the army. He was not a master who could be fooled. I feared that the Imperial Envoy would be transferred out for investigation soon.
finally,
Baihu breathed a long sigh of relief and wrote the last few words:
Hope to go quickly.
immediately,
This letter, which is worth thousands of gold, has been sent out and will be delivered to the person who deserves it as quickly as possible, at the expense of exposing others.
After watching his subordinates go out with the report,
This hundred households named Zhao,
I rarely prepared half a bottle of wine for myself, poured a glass, and took only a small sip;
immediately,
He leaned back on the chair, with tears on his face:
"It's my turn to do something big and win once!"
...
Shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne, as King Jingnan left westward, the imperial court was already beginning to recruit various military leaders in the Jin region. At present, their local governance power had been stripped away. The military leaders could not collect taxes or organize themselves. Carrying caravans for business not only means a loss of personal wealth for the generals, but also means that their control over the troops under their command is also weakened;
Yi Shanbo and others once left their posts without authorization and went to Fengxin City to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. This was the last attempt of the Jingnan Army to struggle, and it can be said to be a kind of pressure to the imperial court.
However, three imperial edicts shattered their thoughts, and the imperial court began to take advantage of this to implement a more thorough integration. The Pingxi Palace continued to sit on the sidelines, unwilling to be the leader of the troublemaker.
No coincidence,
The first conflict broke out in the Sushan camp. The imperial envoy and Yishan Bo were in conflict with each other, and the court was also preparing to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" against the Sushan camp.
in fact,
When Emperor Yan held King Pingxi's hand, the two of them sat on the dragon chair together and imagined the future;
The emperor's meaning is very simple, you free yours and I will integrate mine. For this reason, Yupan City also serves as an exchange condition;
At the same time, the emperor also revealed his intention to resume the unification war after recuperating, and he reached a consensus with King Ping Xi;
Even without King Pingxi's reminder, the emperor took the initiative to integrate the troops and horses in order to shape the authority of the imperial court. He did not want to destroy the soldiers and horses that could fight like Qian Guo did.
The emperor has always had a very clear understanding;
However, although the emperor claims to be the emperor, he is not a god. Sometimes, the tone from above is good, but when the policy reaches the bottom and falls on the specific executor, the good scriptures will be read incorrectly.
It can only be said that the emperor is a wise king. Based on Ji Laoliu's level, he will definitely be able to react quickly and make amends after the incident to appease the morale of the military and allow the conflict to be bridged;
But the emperor is in Yanjing, and the center of the imperial court is also in Yanjing. It is too far away from here, and it is difficult to get the necessary corrections in a short time.
This means that within this period of time,
North of Nanmen Pass, Sushan Camp, which played the mainstay role in stabilizing the situation, is now in chaos, and can even be said to be a smog;
Li Fusheng's troops have already moved out, preparing to take over the defense of Sushan camp;
Li Fusheng made preparations to support Jindong several times, but because Pingxi Wang was too good at playing, he finally failed to play. He had already accumulated a ball of fire in his heart and was extremely anxious.
can only say,
Everything,
It was all a coincidence;
In the east of Jin Dynasty, the Pingxi Palace had just won the Battle of Fancheng in winter and was killing the Chu people. Now, Nanmen Pass, which seemed to be burning with fire, was at its peak.
If it has passed, it has passed. The reason why fire is fire means that it cannot last, but if it is caught, it is another story.
even,
This kind of coincidence and opportunity was not expected by the blind man. Although the blind man had been a Taoist priest delivering talisman water, he really didn't know how to deduce any secrets;
The next development of the situation is likely to slip to a level that even the blind man himself did not expect.
The Jin Kingdom had long been destroyed, and Qian Chu had been suppressed and beaten so hard in the past few years that he almost lost his confidence in fighting the Yan people.
But the Yan people seem to have forgotten,
Over the years, it is not that the Yan Kingdom has not encountered setbacks, nor has it been defeated, but they have more powerful figures who have stood up and turned the situation back.
It's a pity that the King of Zhenbei is dead and the King of Jingnan has left;
King Pingxi, who can continue to support the table, is far away in eastern Shanxi, and is beyond his reach for matters in western Shanxi.
It is said that
Xie Yu'an, the young master of the Xie family, after taking the letter from Meng Gong and reading it,
He let out a sigh,
The army of your country is really sorry for these loyal people who are in the enemy country.
If Dachu's Fengchao inner guards could be as good as the Silver Armored Guards, how could Wangjiang's breach of the embankment not be discovered in advance? The outcome of the Battle of Yanchu would probably be rewritten!
Meng Gong didn't refute, he didn't speak, he just lowered his head and looked at the calluses on his hands;
Before fighting with real swords and guns, no matter how much you talk, it is actually meaningless. The problem with Qian Guo is probably that he is too tough with his words and too soft with his swords.
……
Ten days later,
A thunderous sound not only brings refreshment, but also marks the official start of the hot summer.
And Nanmen Pass,
Then I received an urgent military message from Liang Guo:
The Prime Minister of the Liang Kingdom rebelled, and the leader of the country asked the Yan army to enter Liang to maintain the overall situation!
Ran Min, the commander-in-chief of Nanmen Pass, read out this military report in the custody room.
All the counselors around him congratulated their benefactor!
The alliance of the four countries is about to begin, and now it is a God-given opportunity for the Yan army to enter the Liang Kingdom with the most high-sounding reason. After the rebellion of the Liang Kingdom is quelled, the Yan people will directly become the veritable leader of the alliance.
Opportunity is here!
that night,
The garrison at Nanmen Pass was mobilized, and nearly [-] riders left the pass and headed south, directly into the Liang Kingdom!
It is said that
When the commander-in-chief of Nanmen Pass came out of the pass, he shouted these words to the generals around him to boost morale:
"The King of Pingxi can do it, and I, Ran Min, can do it too!"
A war that could affect or even subvert the entire Zhuxia structure.
In this rumbling thunderstorm,
It’s kicked off...
----
The next chapter starts a new volume and it will be exciting.
then,
Suddenly I realized that I haven’t asked for a monthly ticket this month. Please ask for a monthly ticket. Please give me a helping hand and push it to the top ten. Please everyone!
