183 Chapter Eight: Old and New Daxi Qianbi
"One general's achievements are worth tens of thousands, General Da Xi. This is all your Majesty can give you. No more can be given. In fact, you also understand that sooner or later we will attack Nanyang, right?" Meng Huan played with the jade pendant in his hand.
, while speaking casually.
"Your Majesty, having said that, I'm afraid your lord would rather take over Nanyang peacefully, right?" Da Xi Qianbi's beard and hair were already gray.
"Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you that when I went to Hanzhong, Yunmeng's soldiers and horses were very thirsty. Do you understand?"
"The war in Poyang has been going on for so long, and Zhuge Xingchen in western Sichuan is resurrected. Are you so confident?" Da Xi Qianbi didn't believe that Da Xuan still had the energy to attack him.
"Hahaha! General Daxi, if you don't believe it, we can give it a try!" Meng Huan no longer spoke in a harmonious tone, but directly emphasized his tone.
Da Xi Qianbi's situation has reached a very dangerous situation. Zhong Rouxuan's people have gone too far and have begun to interfere in Nanyang's daily military affairs. There are also many voices in Chenjing that hope Zhong Rouxuan can deal with Da Xi Qianbi.
"Your Majesty, I, Da Xi Qianbi, am also a battle-tested general. Nanyang is the southern gate of Chenjing. As long as Nanyang is in hand, it is only a matter of time before entering Chenjing. I only ask to continue to be in charge of Nanyang. Isn't it too much?"
Meng Huan shook his head and said: "No, entering the Governor's Mansion or taking over as General Yeling, I, Daxuan, will never treat my brothers coldly. Of course, this presupposes that you and your subordinates truly treat us as brothers."
Da Xi Qianbi relented. His meeting with Meng Huan this time was already a matter of life and death, because Zhong Rouxuan called him back to Chenjing to report on his work after the year. He said it was to report on his work, but in fact he was going to deal with him. Zhong Rouxuan had already completed the work in these years.
After losing control of Heluo and Shannan, the Quan family's power was swept away. The one sitting on the dragon throne was just a puppet. The so-called Queen Mother's visit to the court was just an excuse.
Now the only person who can threaten Zhong Rouxuan is Da Xi Qianbi, an old minister of the former dynasty. Moreover, Nanyang's position is a top priority, and Youdu has completely surrendered to Daning. Zhong Rouxuan is even more urgent to control it.
Heluo situation.
Da Xi Qianbi gritted his teeth and said simply: "I am willing to take up a position in the Chengdu Governor's Mansion. It's just that my old subordinates who have been with me for many years hope that your majesty will give them a proper resettlement."
Meng Huan picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said: "General Daxi, congratulations on making the right choice. Don't worry, His Majesty said that the Nanyang Army will form its own system and be organized into the Hanzhong General's Mansion. His Royal Highness will personally lead it.
What do you think?"
Da Xi Qianbi was dumbfounded. The prince personally took charge of it. This was a great honor. As far as he knew, Prince Daxuan had been serving in the army and had not yet formed his own bodyguard. If the old Nanyang army was handed over to the prince, then this army would be surrendered in the future.
The soldiers will transform into the prince's personal soldiers, or even worse, they will become the emperor's guards in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about us. I wish Your Majesty long live!" He was completely heartbroken.
"There is still some time before the Chinese New Year. Shangyong's military exercise troops will continue to be brought to Nanyang to settle. This time the general returns to Mingjian Division and will accompany you."
"Understand, there are many people from the Dark Night Guard and Zhong Rouxuan in Nanyang City. They are hiding in the dark. It is right for the Mingjian Division to eliminate them in advance." Submission requires the consciousness of joining. Taking the initiative to give up the intelligence system and provide intelligence is
What he should do.
"My army will enter Funiu Mountain in due course to attract Zhong Rouxuan's attention and ensure that your side will be safe next year."
After the discussion, the two left separately. Da Xi Qianbi returned to his mansion in the afternoon of the next day, and then thanked guests behind closed doors, leaving Zhong Rouxuan and the Anye Guards confused.
Just as the two groups were thinking about reporting Da Xi Qianbi's matter to Chen Jing, Meng Huan of Hanzhong suddenly sent troops to Funiu Mountain and captured Black Rock Town with overwhelming force. This move made Zhong Rouxuan a little confused, although
There have been constant frictions with Chengdu, but both sides have been very restrained. This is the first time in recent years that Meng Huan has mobilized troops on such a large scale.
"What does Meng Yan want to do!" Zhong Rouxuan's voice was high-pitched and stern.
"Queen Mother, the capital of You has surrendered to Daning, and the power of the Xiao family in Jinling has increased dramatically. The Meng family is probably anxious to use troops against us at this time." Feng You said cautiously.
Zhong Rouxuan became extremely angry when he mentioned Youdu. This guy's decision to surrender directly caused chaos in the entire Northern Central Plains. The surrender of Youdu directly exposed Heluo to the two major forces of Xuan and Ning. Chen
Jing naturally became the target of public criticism.
"No matter what the Meng family wants to do, I tell the Yang family to defend Funiu Mountain if they want to live. This is the Yang family's last chance!"
"I obey the decree," Feng You hesitated for a moment and then said: "Queen Mother, what should we do in Nanyang? Do you want to continue?"
Zhong Rouxuan saw Feng You's embarrassment. She understood what Feng You was worried about. In recent years, Zhong Rouxuan had suppressed the old ministers in Chenjing very hard. Xu Shaoting and Yang Feng had long lost their former power and could only stay in
The family is waiting to grow old, especially the Yang family. Only Yang Xuan is left to support them.
Now the only two people with real power in Luochen are Feng You and Zhao He. Zhong Rouxuan has been planning for Nanyang for more than two years and has already planned to take action after the year. Who knew that Meng Huan would come again at this time?
Join in the fun.
"Notify the people in Nanyang to slow down for now. Meng Huan is not just pretending to invade Black Rock Town this time. He is making it clear that he doesn't want to celebrate the New Year." Zhong Rouxuan decided directly.
"In that case, I will go down and make arrangements." Feng You didn't want to stay in this grand hall full of makeup for a quarter of an hour.
Feng You is a smart man. He can see the current situation clearly. It's not that Daxuan can't defeat Luochen, but Meng Yan hasn't thought about whether to be the first to enter Luochen. Luochen City is still nominally the territory of the Quan family, and Luochen is also the territory of the Quan family.
It represents the Quan family's rule over the Central Plains. Once Luochen City is destroyed, it means that the Quan family has completely lost its identity as a royal family in the Central Plains. Of course, the current Quan family is just hanging on.
He didn't understand why Zhong Rouxuan had to take action against Da Xi Qianbi. It was true that Da Xi Qianbi was a wallflower, but he also had his own abilities and had always done his best in military affairs. Nanyang City was already Da Xi Qianbi's
He has his own little world. As long as Luochen City is not destroyed, Da Xi Qianbi will not have any objections. Taking action now is tantamount to forcing Da Xi Qianbi and Luo Chen to quarrel. He even feels that Meng Huan's actions are to continue Luo Chen's life.
.
Personally speaking, Feng You is inclined to join Daning. It's not that Daxuan is not strong enough, but the people in Daxuan may not have a good impression of him. From Xingtan to Luochen, they can be said to be the most familiar enemies.
.
It's just that he was powerless when he wanted to submit a petition to Jinling. The eastern part of Heluo was already controlled by Lu Qingchen, and the southern part of Shanxi was under the control of Long Tingfei. Although these two people were his generals in the early years, but now
He doesn’t even know how much respect he still has for him, how difficult it is!
Da Xi Qianbi from Nanyang City also sighed in the same way. It was really a joke that he had to deal with Zhong Rouxuan's people in the past and had to work with his subordinates. Nanyang City, which was most uncomfortable for him, had to talk in secret.
"General, which general are we willing to pursue?" The representative of the general expressed his loyalty to Da Xi Qianbi.
Da Xi Qianbi shook his head and said: "You remember that once we raise the army, we will be the troops of Da Xuan. We all know the people of Da Xuan. The military discipline is strict, restrain the brothers, be restrained, and..." Da Xi Qianbi hesitated
After a while, he said: "After the army is raised, I will go to the Chengdu Governor's Office to serve. His Majesty Daxuan guarantees that the Nanyang Army will not be in chaos and will still form its own system. It will be commanded by His Royal Highness Prince Daxuan. Do you understand the meaning of this?"
"Prince Daxuan? Meng Jingyan?" Everyone was surprised and confused.
"Yes, that's him. As long as you are loyal to him, you will have a promising future. Also, I heard that Daxuan is actually not stable internally. Prince Meng Jingyan is not the son of the current empress, but the descendant of the late empress Cang Shu.
Although the King Yong born from Queen Gu is young, he is already different from ordinary people. Ye Ling and his party have recovered many of Jin Qian's old troops and formed the three guards of King Yong."
"General, do you mean there will be a fight between the Crown Prince and King Yong in the future?"
"It's hard to say. Now they are still brothers and sisters, but who knows in the future? So I ask you to be loyal to Prince Meng Jingyan, do you understand?" Da Xi Qianbi said seriously, and he led the gang
The brother has taken refuge with many people, and his reputation has long been ruined. He has been like this for the rest of his life. He does not want to see his brother follow him and carry a lifetime of infamy.
"General, is there really no room for redemption? Didn't I say that His Majesty Daxuan loves talents?"
"They have been very generous. It is very good to let me go to Chengdu to serve as the rotating governor. They also gave me another option, to take up the post of General Yeling. I refused. Yeling is not suitable for us to live there, and I don't want to
Brothers have left their homes." The more Da Xi Qianbi said, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"What about those people in Luochen City?"
"You don't have to worry about it. Restrain your subordinates, make sure the camps are stable, and prepare for things to happen on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The rest will naturally be handled by the people from the Mingjian Division."
"Mingjian Division? They are in Nanyang City?!"
"Haha, you guys! We are all warriors, that's all. As long as you follow the prince well, you must be loyal. The Mingjian Division has already been deployed in Nanyang. Everyone knows everything you and I say and do!" Da Xi Qianbi leaned his head on the back of the chair.
He said with his eyes closed.
On the evening of the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, many houses in Nanyang City caught fire. The people in Nanyang City were panicked that night. In the early morning of the next day, they found that the streets were full of soldiers. However, they also found that the many fires last night did not seem to affect ordinary people.
Most of the places where fires broke out in soldiers' houses were the residences of officials and wealthy businessmen.
Da Xi Qianbi immediately decided to take military control of Nanyang as an emergency. Although the governor of Nanyang was unwilling to do so, Da Xi Qianbi's approach was not wrong.
"General, so many officials and wealthy businessmen are missing, and it's the new year, so please solve the case as soon as possible." The governor of Nanyang said with a gloomy face.
"Don't worry, Lord Governor, martial law is only for the purpose of stabilizing Nanyang City. We will not interfere in solving crimes. If your Lord needs it, I will fully cooperate with you. After all, they are all the Queen Mother's people."
The governor of Nanyang was shocked. He originally thought that Da Xi Qianbi was just a piece of meat on the Empress Dowager's board. Who would have thought that the identities of those people had been known for a long time. It seems that the disappearance of these people was not unrelated to Da Xi Qianbi.
"General, I want to report this matter to Chen Jing and ask the Queen Mother to judge. Please cooperate!"
"That's not necessary. I was surprised and sent people to Luochen. I don't need to worry about it, Sir!"
It's over, Da Xi Qianbi wants to rebel. This was the first thought of the Nanyang Governor. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Da Xi Qianbi continue to say: "Master Governor, I still have military affairs, please do as you please."
Looking at Da Xi Qianbi's back, the governor of Nanyang staggered...
