Chapter 298
: Rebellion
When the King of Shu heard that the prince was taken hostage by the barbarians, he fainted in shock and anger, and the Qingxin Pavilion was in chaos.
Yang Ling and Zhu Rangjin were closest to each other, so they rushed over and supported the King of Shu.
Zhu Rangjin hugged his father in his arms, and the veins on his forehead were so anxious that his elegance and elegant demeanor disappeared completely. He shouted in a hurry: "Call the imperial doctor quickly, hurry up, hurry up!"
Yang Ling actually had ulterior motives because he had not yet left his doubts, and he was worried that this was another trick played by the King of Shu. However, he reached out and helped him and held his wrist tightly with his right hand. Although only a moment later, Yang Ling had already relieved his doubts and felt relieved.
The skin was cold and the pulse was almost impossible to feel. King Shu really fainted, otherwise the dizziness could be faked. The pulse and body temperature could not be faked, unless he was actually a legendary peerless martial arts master. As far as Yang Ling knew, even with Wu Han's authentic internal skills, he could not reach the state of controlling body temperature and almost curbing his heartbeat.
Li Sen touched his nose, looked at Yang Ling with a strange expression, and thought to himself: "The people's rumors that Lord Yang is the Tianshaxing Star. The broom star descends to earth. It seems that it is true. Wherever he goes, he will definitely be in trouble for the person he wants to deal with. I am the right team this time."
When the imperial physician came, he pinched the man and applied acupuncture and medicine. After a lot of trouble, the King of Shu woke up slowly. As soon as he woke up, he said anxiously: "Hurry up, send me to Xuzhou immediately. Gu wants to negotiate with the Duzhang barbarians in person."
Zhu Rangjin, An Wentao and others repeatedly dissuaded him. How could the King of Shu be able to travel a long distance? If he was to take him to Xuzhou with difficulty, I am afraid that the prince would be rescued and the King of Shu would be the first to return to heaven.
The King of Shu shook his head repeatedly and said impatiently: "No. If the King Gu left in person, he could not win the trust of Yudu Zhan Barbarians, then the prince will be in danger. Hurry up! Go and prepare a car and sedan immediately."
Yang Ling heard this quietly and said, "Prince, since Duzhangman takes the prince as a hostage and seeks Han officials to withdraw from their territory, he must think that strange goods are acceptable. Although the prince is in the hands of the barbarians, there should be no human beings in danger. The prince is sick and worried, how can he travel long distances? It is better to send an envoy to Duzhangman to ease his sword and stabilize them, and then make a plan later."
After this moment of hard work, the King of Shu's complexion became much worse. He smiled bitterly and said, "The Du Zhang barbarians have always been cruel and never take the court seriously. They either do not take action. Since they have captured the prince today, they have no scruples. They are only afraid... they are only afraid that the Lone King will rush there now, and it is too late."
When the King of Shu said this, he coughed a lot and fainted again. The imperial physician of the royal family said anxiously: "The prince is weak and cannot be disturbed anymore. I will use medicine stones to stabilize the prince's condition first, but if the prince faints again, his life will be worrying."
Zhu Rangjin gasped and pulled him and said, "Doctor Wang, no matter what, you must save your father's life, tens of millions. You must think of a solution."
The imperial physician Wang said with a look of distress: "This... unless the prince is not awake for the time being, he may be able to stabilize the prince's condition, otherwise... even if Hua Tuo is alive, he will be unable to do anything."
Zhu Rangjin was stunned and let go of his hand in surprise. He hesitated to look at Yang Ling, An Wentao and others. The King of Shu is the lord of Shu, and now the prince is trapped in the hands of Yu Duzhan Barbarians, so he will not let the prince wake up to discuss matters. How can that happen? What if the prince dies because of this? Who can bear this responsibility?
Although Zhu Rangjin is the second son of the King of Shu, he is the illegitimate son. If the prince is not alive, he will be the only candidate for the prince. It can be said that if the prince dies, it will be the most beneficial to him. So at this time, Zhu Rangjin is too late to avoid suspicion, so how dare he agree randomly? But if he doesn't agree, what should the King of Shu do?
Facing Zhu Rangjin's helpless eyes, An Wentao, Lu Zheng and other senior bureaucrats in Shu dodged one by one. Although they could not bear the responsibility for the prince's death, they could not bear the responsibility if the King of Shu was exhausted because of this. In the end, all their eyes were focused on Yang Ling.
Among these people, he has the highest status and can almost compete with the King of Shu. He has a transcendent status. The officials in Shu and the various interest groups of the King of Shu family have nothing to do with him. Only when he comes forward and makes a decision, no matter how he makes a decision, it will not make people secretly criticize him.
Yang Ling came to Sichuan here to work hard, thinking about how to find out the handle of the King of Shu, and at the same time, he had to be careful of being plotted against by him. Unexpectedly, the situation has changed suddenly and he wanted to plan for the King of Shu.
Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you wake up the prince again? I have something to ask him. If the prince is emotionally excited and unable to control himself, please ask the imperial doctor to make the prince faint immediately."
Everyone knew that this was the matter of the imperial envoy being prepared to take over Shu, so they needed to get the authorization of the King of Shu and understand his basic limits first. Everyone held their breath and looked at him and the imperial physician nervously.
The imperial physician's face turned pale. At this time, the situation was no less than to awakening a king. He used medicine to rush his life to urge him to express his nervousness when the heir came. He pursed his lips and nodded.
The King of Shu was awakened. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Ling leaning over and said with a serious expression: "Prince, I am ordered by the emperor to inspect the world. When there are urgent matters in various places, I have the right to deal with them on behalf of the emperor. The prince is sick and unable to work hard. I believe the prince knows it well. I now have three important things. I need to ask the prince to show me. Please give me a clear answer in front of all officials in Shu."
The King of Shu's eyes were dull and his breathing was rapid. He was silent for a moment before nodding hard, and said hoarsely: "You said it."
Yang Ling said: "The prince cannot take charge of the overall situation now. Once the barbarian riots, the situation will be extraordinary. This marquis intends to share the prince's worries and assume this responsibility. Can the prince allow it?"
The King of Shu looked at the faces of everyone around him. An Wentao and Lu Zheng were his right-hand men, but one of them was in charge of civil affairs and the other was in charge of the law. This time, if the prince was rescued, Li Sen would have to be used. Moreover, no matter how powerful and high the prestige of these two people were, they could not represent the Shu palace. As for the brothers of the princes, when they remembered the complex interest relationship between the princes, the King of Shu immediately threw them behind.
The second son, Rang Jin, is now his only relative of blood. This child is indifferent to fame and fortune and will not covet the position of the prince. But after all, he is a concubine and is difficult to convince the public. In addition, he is still young, so he usually only reads poems, paintings, songs and entertainments. He is afraid that he knows nothing about government affairs. Of course, he has never assigned government affairs to him.
Alas! The King of Shu sighed slightly: In order to avoid brothers' conflicts, the royal family, except for the prince, all princes were enfeoffed in various places as soon as they grew up, and they were not allowed to return to the capital by the imperial edict. What was the same as the vassal kings? In the end, they couldn't even find someone who could trust and help. He nodded sadly.
Yang Ling said again: "I will do my best to save the prince's safety, but the prince asked the prince to move the Han official to the Han people out of Xuzhou to use this as a condition for releasing the prince. What do you think?"
"The Lord of the Lord understands..." The King of Shu said in a weak tone, took a few breaths of energy quickly, and then said: "The Lord of the Lord understands what you mean. All the world is the king's land. No... can't withdraw from Xuzhou in exchange for the exchange..... Once this example is opened, the chieftains of each tribe follow this request, and there will be no more day in Bashu.............. for other conditions......... and I can agree to it, and I will give my Shu Palace. It has nothing to do with it...."
"Yes, but I will do my best to let God do my best. If I cannot do anything, I hope the prince will forgive me!"
The King of Shu shook his body. His eyes suddenly opened wide and he stared at Yang Ling for a while. Yang Ling responded calmly. The King of Shu finally closed his eyes and nodded in pain.
Yang Ling sighed and said, "Third, no matter whether the prince can be rescued or not, the prince will be detained and sentenced to the court. There must be a solution to this matter. Please tell the prince if you want to tell me how to deal with the aftermath."
The King of Shu whispered: "All tribes live together, and disputes are easy to arise. In the past, Emperor Taizu divided the world, and all the vassal kings in various places..... He prepared horses and soldiers to guard one side, but my ancestors guarded the western border with ethics and were grateful for education. They gain peace in the area. The people of Shu are happy and become increasingly wealthy. Everyone will benefit this. If it is absolutely necessary, please do not use weapons! Remember...."
Yang Ling nodded and said loudly: "A weapon is a weapon that often retaliates against one's head, so it is most taboo to restrain and hesitate. If you make a decision, you will suffer from chaos. Therefore, before the state affairs are revealed, Qingyang Palace is the Pure Land, and no one can disturb you!"
He stood up and said proudly: "Yang Ling was entrusted by His Highness the King of Shu. From now on, he will be in charge of the affairs of Bashu. In Qingyang Palace, no miscellaneous matters will be allowed to disturb His Highness's cultivation. If you violate it, I will ask the Emperor to kill him with a sword!"
His words, unless the King of Shu recovers from his illness, before the Xuzhou incident, no one in Qingyang Palace would be prohibited from entering and then reported any news to the King of Shu. But he was fighting for the King of Shu's life and handling military affairs. He was most afraid of the reasons for people in the rear to issue orders to interfere with the generals in the front. It was so high-sounding. Although some of the officials were dissatisfied with his possession of the magpie's nest and monopolizing the power, they did not dare to criticize him.
Yang Ling made such a decision because he found that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Take your life while you are sick." He wanted to take over the power of Bashu in justification, and there was no better opportunity than this.
He turned around and dispatched his personal troops to defend Qingyang Palace, leaving the King of Shu isolated from the world. He immediately turned passive into initiative, using the emperor to command the princes to minimize the personal danger of his own land. If the King of Shu was found out by him, he would be surrendering.
However, judging by this situation, Yang Ling became increasingly skeptical about the rebellion of the King of Shu and was willing to hand over the hilt of the knife to his hands. Although it was because of a sudden accident, it was still difficult for those who had ghosts in their hearts to do it.
Unless Zhu Binhan is as deep as Yue Buqun's temple, but if he had such a scheming and scheming, when the prince went to Xuzhou, he was afraid that he had already given him a secret message, so how could the prince be captured and so passive?
After hearing Yang Ling's words, the King of Shu just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Yang Ling bowed a long time and said, "Please rest assured, I will do everything."
After saying that, Yang Ling took three steps back, bowed his hand, and left.
Li Sen picked his nails and gave a gift: "Please rest for the prince", and then stepped out. After a moment, the officials said goodbye one by one, leaving only Zhu Rangjin, who was left to support Nai's father and stayed in the empty hall.
The King of Shu looked at the door and said slowly: "The Lord King just agreed to delegate power. Yang Ling could make a quick decision, seize this fleeting opportunity, not avoid suspicion, and take all the power in his hands. This is a character. Perhaps in the difficulty of Xuzhou, this person is really the best candidate to solve the problem."
Zhu Rangjin also said with admiration: "There are many tribes in Shu. Although the court has the intention of being kind and comforting, these tribes have never been educated for more than a hundred years. They are unwilling to integrate. Some chieftains are worried that the Han people will continue to move in and weaken their authority. If they have land, they will have ambitions of separatist rule, just like a country in the country, so that wars and smoke will continue to cause friction.
From Lord Yang's suppression and pacification of the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, it can be seen that Yang Ling is the best at both kindness and power, both soft and hard. Those who can pull and those who cannot pull are always arrogant. In most cases, Lord Yang is going to launch troops to suppress with a strong force and shock all ethnic groups in Shu. He only hopes that Lord Yang will rescue Brother Wang first, otherwise the war will be together..."
When the King of Shu heard this, he said nervously: "If you can do not move troops, you must not move troops. These barbarians live in a dangerous place. If a hundred thousand troops have fought for ten years, they may not be able to defeat a clan. During the Hongwu Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty wanted to "change the territory and return to the current" of these barbarians, establish officials and move the Han people, but they have been fighting for years, so they have established chieftains. They use barbarians to govern the barbarians. Now some tribes are ready to move and are provoking trouble. How can they change their course and cause trouble?"
After saying so many words in a series of words, he was no longer able to support his strength, but he still grabbed Zhu Rangjin and said, "If there is really a big fight, Bashu...... Bashu will never have any peace. Although I give him power, I never said that the Shu Palace will not interfere with it at all. Go quickly and must accompany Yang Ling to Xuzhou. Act according to the opportunity and try to avoid war."
Zhu Rangjin said worriedly: "My father is so sick, how can he not be by his side? This..."
"Bastard! You are not a doctor, so what if you stay here? Just bring the princess and Xiang'er and let them stay by your father's side."
"Yes, yes", Zhu Rangjin was furious when he saw his father, so he didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to just say yes.
"I oppose the adults going to Xuzhou in person!" Just now, he heard Yang Ling confess the true destination of Sichuan, Wu Hanchao said worriedly: "The adults have a more important purpose when they come to Sichuan. Then if I am the King of Shu and have a rebellion, but I am not ready in all aspects, I know the real purpose of the adults coming to Sichuan. In a panic, I took retreat as a step forward, handed over the military power, and killed the adults through the hand of the Duzhan Barbarians, or confessed that I was open-minded and had no selfish thoughts.
Moreover, in this way, the Lord is devoted to suppressing the rebellion, so he has no time to investigate the rebellion of the King of Shu. You cannot stay in Sichuan for a long time and drag you until you leave... I think this is the idea that the King of Shu is most likely to fight."
"Oh? Haha, it seems that it is not unhelpful for me to tell you about the matter. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Han Chao's idea is very good. It seems that you and General Song are fighting bandits alone in Jiangnan. You have made great progress. You are no longer a martial artist who only knows how to use force." Yang Ling said with a smile.
Wu Hanchao said embarrassedly: "Huizhi...................................................................................................................................................................................., adults often say that they should analyze their psychology from a person's behavior................................................
When my father got home, I pretended to go to the room to get the dried fruit in front of him, and then told my father with surprise that the tiles of the room were broken without knowingly. When my father went to the room to check, I thought I was reminded of it and told him that the inspector Yu had something urgent to look for him. As a result, my father forgot about this. Afterwards, he just found someone to repair it.
If the King of Shu has a ghost in his heart, this series of seemingly upright actions are quite consistent with this kind of psychology."
Yang Ling was interesting to hear and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I think that if the King of Shu really had the opposite intention, it would be possible to show openness and be more open-minded when he did this. However, under my opinion of the words and expressions, the King of Shu was not false. Moreover, the risk of using the prince as bait is too great."
Song Xiaoai was angry when he heard him 'my father'. An Wentao left Qingyang Palace and scolded Wu Wending severely. Song Xiaoai felt regretful when she saw that her future father-in-law was scolded in public by others. She waited for Yang Ling to return to the imperial envoy headquarters, so she bought a gift and went to apologize to him.
Lao Wu didn't come out with a knife and then chopped people, but the door was closed and he ignored them at all. He even refused to let go of his wife's rebellion, which made the neighbors come out to watch the fun. Song Xiaoai was angry and shy, and angry again.
Although her parents also had to handle the marriage between men and women in her hometown, the relationship between men and women was completely independent, so how could there be so much interference? Song Xiaoai felt that the old man was deliberately making things difficult for him, and Wu Hanchao was afraid of his father as if he was like a tiger. He also had resentment towards him.
At this time, when he heard Wu Hanchao's words, Song Xiaoai immediately sang a counter-tune: "I agree with the adults going to Xuzhou. Just as the adults said, if he controls the King of Shu, even if he really has the intention to rebel, he will become a toothless tiger. The danger of the adults will be minimized. Taking advantage of the army's mobilization, command the battle. Let the soldiers form a habit of obedience to Lord Li, and can also establish Lord Li's prestige in the army as soon as possible, and thus master force.
As for the danger, the great man is full of wisdom and will be invincible. Whether it is the Tatars, the Japanese pirates or the Western pirates, they all hope to be invincible. They all have more than 30,000 men, women, young and old. How can they all be there? If the King of Shu really holds the purpose you said, he will be afraid that he will backfire."
Liu Biao coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, please listen to my words. Duzhangman can truly be a battlefield soldier. Even if there are Han refugees, bandits and robbers and escaped military prisoners, there are only more than 10,000 people. They are stationed in three cities, Jiusi, Lingxiao, and Duzhang. Each city has only more than 3,000 people, but the terrain there is dangerous, and one man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. This is why Xiao Xiao Duzhangman dares to oppose the court."
Yang Ling calmed down and sat slowly behind the table. He said, "I have sent a big stick to my 300 guards to guard it. This guy has a strong tendon. Unless I appear and cancel the order, it will be difficult for anyone to enter and exit. The King of Shu doesn't have to worry anymore. Whether he is open-minded or deliberately shows his innocence, in short, the knife is in my hand. Now Bashu is the leader of me.
Let’s first consider the situation in Xuzhou. The prince of a dignified vassal was taken hostage. This matter must be resolved. Lord Li, do you know Du Zhangman?"
Li Sen nodded and said, "After taking office, he reviewed the military and borrowed files and learned about the various chieftain tribes in Sichuan in detail. It is said that Du Zhangman was descended from the local people in the Han Dynasty. They were 100 of them as a village and lived in the Xuzhou area for generations. They worshiped the "Frog God" and liked to paint on cliffs. The dead were hung on the coffin on the cliff.
The barbarians were wild and difficult to tame and never obeyed education. Even if they surrendered, they often robbed borders and invaded surrounding counties and towns. For more than a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu, Yongle, Zhengtong and Jingtai dynasties had used troops against them. The Lingxiao City they occupied was a castle built on the mountain to fight against the Mongolian army during the Song Dynasty. They were surrounded by cliffs, which were extremely dangerous.
Jiusi City, the old nest of Duzhangman, stands on all sides of cliffs and is difficult to climb. There is only a rugged path with sheep intestines within a radius of more than 30 miles. The officers and soldiers are struggling to get in and out. However, Duzhangman can walk like a flat ground, shuttle back and forth in the grass and thorns, and everyone is unpredictable. During the Chenghua period, the imperial court sent an army of 200,000, and encountered obstacles here. After four years of struggle, he returned without success."
When Yang Ling heard this, he took a breath of air conditioning. After all, he was a modern man. There was no natural danger to rely on in the modern army. Aircraft cannons, missiles and rockets, no matter where, they could be bombarded into scorched earth in four days. However, a 30-mile journey, the 200,000 army could not take it for four years. What kind of dangerous path should it be?
Li Sen continued: "In March of the first year of Chenghua, the Duzhan Barbarians raised troops to plunder Jiang'an and other counties. The court sent the governor Rui Cheng to recruit the appeasement. The governor Rui announced that the masters of the Duzhan Barbarians were all given official positions and enjoyed the salary of the imperial court. The chiefs of the Duzhan Barbarians were very happy and led nearly 300 village leaders to the banquet to receive surrender.
Unexpectedly, the military commander Wang Hao rushed to Xuzhou and believed that these camp leaders were all heroes on the battlefield. They should take the opportunity to kill them to eliminate future troubles. So they killed all the chiefs and the camp leaders who came to pay their respects. From then on, Duzhanman formed an indissoluble bond with the court and no longer believed in the intention of the court's peace.
In October of the same year, Duzhanman went to Guizhou to surrender. Guizhou commander Ding Shi did not know that Wang Yu's envoy surrendered and killed nearly 300 leaders of Duzhanman, so he went out of the city to greet him. As a result, ambushing up and more than 5,000 officers were wiped out. Duzhanman was still unable to relieve his anger. The next month, he planned to lure Wang Yu's envoy Changning at night. As a result, the official army got lost in the mountains at night, and countless people fell off the cliff and died. Duzhanman did not send out a single army, and the army collapsed.
The court was furious and sent a large army to gather in Xuzhou and adopted the method of gradual erosion. Within five days, it burned more than 700 villages and forced all Duzhanman into the mountains. The two sides were in a stalemate. Although Duzhanman was in a difficult position, the imperial army could not support the money and food consumed for the long-term siege. In the end, both sides tacitly understood and left it alone."
Yang Ling was stunned and sat there for a while. Suddenly, he remembered that before his era, the two armies fought at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. As long as the war was appropriate, they would be as powerful as a bamboo shoot within three or two days. If they killed the other side without being defeated for thousands of miles, what a majestic army would he be?
But when such an army was at the beginning of winning the world, facing the existence of several bandits in the mountains and forests, it took great pains to prevent the existence of several bandits in the mountains and forests. The army could not enter and the heavy firepower could not be transported in. It was really a cannon to kill mosquitoes, and it was useless to prevent their sneak attacks and robberies at all times. What method did they use to wipe out them?
Yang Ling stood up and paced back and forth in the room, but after thinking for a long time, his mind was in his mind's slander that "the king covered the earth tiger, the pagoda was fighting the river demon. Moha Moha, talking at noon, no one had home." It was the magical turtle box gun that was when the bandit Tian Dabang was shooting his bow left and right. There was no way, watching the show and watching the excitement. Who paid attention to this at that time?
However, in Yang Ling's mind, he left at least a correct impression: fighting the Duzhang barbarians is different from fighting against the Tatar legion, and also from the battle to suppress the Japanese in the water towns in Jiangnan. No matter how many major troops there are, it is difficult to rely on. Military strategists say that they are in line with the right and the strange victory. If they want to deal with the Duzhang barbarians, they will most likely have to take a different approach and get a wrong gate.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling ordered: "Liu Biao went to Xuzhou first and tried to collect all information. In this battle, you will most likely use the information you get from your men. Lord Li, please go back to the camp immediately to summon the generals and mobilize all troops from Bashu to Xuzhou. Regardless of whether they fight or not, the bigger the momentum, the better. Wu Hanchao immediately passed the government envoy, the censor, the prefect of Chengdu and other civil and military officials to come to the imperial envoy to discuss matters. The imperial envoy is to collect food, grass and supplies."
Everyone stood up solemnly and bowed to him one by one.
Song Xiaoai stood up, blinked her big eyes and said, "Sir, what about me?"
Chapter completed!
