Chapter 142: Intrigue One
What kind of place is Chongtongguan? All the generals and generals of Tieshengying understood that if Yang Zhan didn't want to give them a way out, they wouldn't be able to escape, so they might as well boldly go up the mountain to plead guilty.
Groups of five people came up and knelt under the Zhennan tree. Some people cried bitterly, some were silent, and some were indignant about the iron soles.
Yang Zhan reprimanded them one by one, comforted them one by one, and made them docile, and then asked them to follow General Fei to northern Sichuan to redeem their merits.
Tieshengying was announced to be disbanded and would be called the Feijiajun from now on.
After these generals left, Yang Zhan went to pay homage to King Shu and Uncle Dingzhen. He knelt on the ground and did not get up. He reflected on himself and said: "It was Yang Zhan's unclear behavior that led to Tiejiaoban's rebellion. Although he had been beheaded,
Yang Zhan has done a great crime by disturbing His Highness and Uncle Master!"
The King of Shu said: "Why bother? The iron foot plate thing is a bit extreme, but the crime will not lead to death. You are the same. If you don't give him a chance to change, will it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
Yang Zhan said: "He threatened His Highness's safety. How can such behavior be forgiven? If this happens, I don't know how many people will follow suit!"
Jian Kuan interjected from the side: "As for what Ti Jiaoban asked just now, I also want to ask, who will take charge of Meizhou in the future? Will you really hand it over to Wu Dading?"
Yang Zhan remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Jian Kuan said: "Although I cut off Tie Jiaoban's head, what he said is also what I wanted to say. Recently, you believe in foreign monks too much!"
Yang Zhan argued: "These foreign monks are indeed better at chanting sutras than local monks. For example, Wu Dading was better than many people in training soldiers and arranging troops. The soldiers he trained were all quick-sighted, quick-handed, and quick in reaction.
Decisive. Just now, if it was his people and the general was killed, it would not affect them at all to continue to fight against us."
Uncle Dingzhen said: "This is exactly what you need to guard against. Such brave soldiers should be used to guard the border, not placed beside you."
The King of Shu smoothed things over for Yang Zhan, "Okay, the general knows these generals better than we do and knows how to use them. But Xiao Jin, how can he manage the business in Jiading?"
Fei Xiaojin quickly replied: "Ouyang Ruinian is indeed an expert in financial management. I went to northern Sichuan just to let him practice."
Jian Kuan sighed and said, "Since our Shu Kingdom was transferred to Nanming, it feels like a swollen balloon is gradually deflating. To be honest, if I weren't worried about the safety of the general, I would have wanted to guard the border."
The King of Shu said: "It was my idea to join Nanming. If you want to blame, just blame me. Don't blame the general."
Yang Zhan felt ashamed and said: "My ability is still insufficient. No wonder so many people want to hunt Min'a."
A few days later, Li Qiande, Yuan Tao and Wu Dading made an appointment to go to Jiading to see Yang Zhan. Yang Zhan also invited them to a banquet in Yinfeng Pavilion. He knew that Jian Kuan did not like them, so he did not invite him.
When the wine was in full swing, Li Qiande said: "The general's acquisition of military power, Yuan's second general, is like Liu Bei's acquisition of Guan and Zhang. From then on, the affairs of Shu can be settled, and the world can be settled."
Yang Zhan was filled with joy and responded: "I hope my second brother will not be afraid of hardships and overcome all obstacles for Yang Zhan."
Wu and Yuan agreed in unison.
Li Qiande took advantage of the wine and tried to ask: "Who will the general lead in Meizhou? Can you let Li guess?"
Yang Zhan smiled and said, "Sir, you have something to say, but it doesn't matter." After this period of close contact, Yang Zhan was no longer as wary of Li Qiande as before, and he was more appreciative of Li Qiande, so he treated Li Qiande as a gentleman.
Li Qiande is good at planning, cunning, sees problems more thoroughly than others, and his words often have a sharp effect.
"Meizhou is the most important place outside Chengdu for the king of Shu and the general, even more important than Jiading. Such a place must be guarded by the most caring and closest people in order to solve the general's worries. General Wu Dading Since he is your sworn brother and his talents are far superior to those of other generals, I guess he should be the best candidate!"
Yang Zhan smiled and didn't answer, and just insisted on asking for wine and food. Yuan Tao couldn't hold it in anymore and said quickly: "Brother, please tell us, is he the second brother?"
Yang Zhan glanced at Wu Dading gently and said, "What does it matter whether we defend Meizhou or not? Dading is a talented general. One day, I will let him go out on my behalf and kill all the Manchu and Qing soldiers." "
Yuan Tao quit and shouted: "With these good things, if you don't want to think about your brothers and go out to work hard, you just order us! No, let the second brother guard Meizhou, and I will guard Jiading."
Yang Zhan shouted: "Third brother, please don't be arrogant and deploy generals from various places. This is the concern of General Liu Jiankuan, who is in charge of military affairs. I cannot overstep his authority."
Yuan Tao still shouted: "I know that you have only believed in your brothers and sisters, and have never truly regarded us as brothers."
Li Qiande hurriedly came out and pulled Yuan Tao: "General Yuan, don't talk over drinks anymore. You are brothers, so naturally you should be more considerate of the general's difficulties."
Turning his head, he took the place of Wu again, and General Yuan said: "I heard that Wannian Temple has recently shipped a batch of fine muskets to Liu Wenxiu's army. Can the general ask the young master to give them to your two brothers first?"
He roped in Wu Dading at all costs, and this was his shrewdness. He tied a piece of beautiful jade and a stubborn stone together, and the stubborn stone became valuable, and at the same time, Wu Dading was grateful to him.
Yang Zhan got drunk and said casually: "People buy gold for them. Do you also have gold? There are still people waiting for this batch of gold in Chengdu."
After his rejection twice, Wu Dading and Yuan Tao lost interest and drank wine dejectedly.
However, Li Qiande had already learned all the secrets of Shu through the intercourse of cups and cups. Yang Zhan's transaction with Liu Wenxiu, his source of wealth, weapons production capacity, amount of wealth, military strength...
All this made him salivate, and he always dreamed of replacing him. But he knew that he had nothing but an eloquent tongue.
However, until now, he has only touched Yuan Tao and Wu Dading. If he does not take extraordinary measures, his dream will be far away.
He observed the expressions on the faces of Yang Zhan, Wu Dading, and Yuan Tao, and he was full of thoughts.
Suddenly, he saw a pair of sharp eyes staring at him. These eyes were actually outside the window, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Danglanglang..." His wine glass dropped to the ground, waking up the drunken three people.
Yuan Tao made a mistake and said: "Military advisor, you can't kill my eldest brother."
Li Qiande was shocked again. This idiot was really as stupid as an ox. If anything happened in the future, he could not be told in advance.
Even though it was a drunken conversation, he was afraid that Yang Zhan would take it seriously, so he immediately smiled and said: "I see you are quite drunk. General, how about we stay here tonight?"
Yang Zhan waved his hand: "Send off guests, see off guests, come again!"
