Chapter 587 What a vicious and sinister plan
Yes, the last time the fleet left the Yellow River and crossed to Jiaozhi, I saw that the era of the Great Discovery of the Chinese Empire was about to come. In addition, the situation in Shu was gradually becoming clear. My young master's tentacles had gradually touched the south. So after careful consideration, he decided to transport a large number of craftsmen and equipment to Jiaozhi. Of course, for safety reasons, a large number of navy troops were sent to escort the fleet.
If my Chinese Navy had become the hero of the water, no one dared not to open his eyes. Therefore, this young master sent most of the navy out, leaving only ten warships to support the scene. I think that with the shore defense weapons, it would be enough for those who were not eye-catching to dodge aside.
But now it seems that I have discovered that Wang Shichong is building a ship hidden opposite Hancheng County. It is understandable if he really wants to attack Jinyang. But the problem is that this piece of fat in Hancheng County is definitely more plump, tender and delicious than Jinyang, which is far away in the hinterland of Shanxi.
Hancheng County is the base camp that I have been running for a long time. Both ways out are built and blocked. Moreover, the annual taxes in Hancheng County have accounted for one-fifth of the entire Guanzhong. In addition, nearly 10,000 horses in my hands are still being trained and cultivated in various valleys in Hancheng County.
If Wang Shichong was surprised and rushed over with 50,000 horns, he would probably be beaten up. At least 80% of them might take Hancheng County. If this is true, he would hold on to the north and south passes. By then, the loss of this young master would be really great.
"I'm damn it." This young master finally understood. At the same time, he was angry from other places and swearing in difficulty, which shocked all the ministers. "How could this guy Wang Shichong think of such a vicious plan?"
Everyone was very silent, and they really couldn't answer my question.
This young master paced back and forth in the hall with great anger. While walking and taking a deep breath, he finally suppressed his anger. He returned to the map and sat down. "Ruhui, how long has Zheng Jun been here? How long has it been built? How many boats have been built?"
"Your Majesty, Zheng's army has been here for about half a month. According to the information, the time for the boat building was that they blocked the river bend and started construction two days after they arrived at the station. As for the number, Shu Chen was incompetent..." Du Ruhui replied quickly and quickly. His expression was extremely ugly at this moment, because when Wei Yunqi pointed out Hancheng County, anyone knew that Wei Yunqi's vision and level in military strategy were definitely the top in the world. Since he dared to say that he was 90% sure, Wang Shichong would definitely want to do so.
"They probably didn't recruit local people, right?" Ma Zhou asked with some disconfidence.
Du Ruhui thought about it and shook his head firmly: "No, if there is, they will definitely explain it in the intelligence. Moreover, if the people are recruited, it will be difficult to conceal the investigation of our intelligence personnel."
Seeing my gloomy face and staring at the map, Du Ruhui bowed to me. "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The Intelligence Bureau is under the control of me. I have not even discovered such a crisis. It is my fault."
"Ruhui gets up quickly, you can't blame you." Seeing Du Ruhui like this, I quickly walked over and helped him up. "Don't do this, even I let Wang Shichong play tricks. If it were to blame, I would be the emperor for being careless. If it weren't for Brother Yunqi's shrewdness, I'm afraid it would be Han Cheng, it would be really dangerous." It's just that Du Ruhui, I almost let Wang Shichong fool him. Damn, this guy actually wants to play tricks with me.
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Du Ruhui stood up with a shame and said eagerly
"Your Majesty, I think that the Hancheng County garrison and navy should be put into alert early as soon as possible." Wei Yunqi said earnestly.
"Yes, but I'm not the one who has been plotted by others and does not know how to fight back." This young master nodded and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Brother Yunqi, do you think if the Tongguan defenders leave Tongguan and capture Hedong County, how would Wang Shichong deal with it?"
"Your Majesty, if the navy helps, Wang Shichong will definitely have a headache. However, now I have only ten naval ships in Hancheng. If you want to launch a large-scale attack, you will have the will but not enough strength to take advantage of it." Wei Yunqi frowned and pondered for a long time, shook his head firmly and refuted my suggestion.
The young master could only roll his eyes to show his dissatisfaction with Wei Yunqi's persuasion and correct his cuffs. "People come quickly to inform Hancheng County and upgrade to red without orange warning. All those on vacation will return to their respective teams and stand by. In addition, strict inspections of merchant ships from all over the country."
"In addition, a division was drawn from Yan'an County and rushed to Hancheng."
“…and, tell Yang Liang,”
Following my order, a guard quickly rushed out of the hall door and ran towards the distance.
More than ten civil and military ministers who had gathered had agreed in unison and walked with me quickly toward the General Staff not far away. I am very glad for this and I have arranged all the departments very close.
Soon, we arrived at the General Staff Department. Dozens of staff inside were busy calculating and playing the war in Bashu. When we saw us coming in, Yang Gongren, Minister of War and Deputy Chief of Staff, saw that our group looked a little angry and couldn't help but come forward and bow to me. "I'm going to see Your Majesty."
"You don't have to be too polite to Gongren. By the way, take us to the Guanzhong sand table." I reached out to support me, said after a forced smile at him.
"Your Majesty, please..." Yang Gongren nodded and quickly led the way forward, saying curiously: "Why does Your Majesty look like this? Is there something wrong with Guanzhong?"
"It's not that there is something wrong with Guanzhong, but that there is something wrong with Hedong and there is a police officer in Hancheng." Wei Yunqi next to him explained with a serious face. Yang Gongren couldn't help but jumped and took a breath.
Yang Gongren, the eldest son of King Guande Yang Xiong, is the eldest brother of Yang Gongdao and Yang Shidao. He has just joined me recently. However, he is quite talented and has strategies for governing the army or the people.
Now in recent 50 years, when he first became an official, he served as the governor of Ganzhou (now Zhangye, Gansu). He was loyal and honest by nature, abide by etiquette and law-abiding, and was simple and lenient in government affairs, was good at handling political affairs, was light on taxes, and was very popular with the people's hearts, which made the economic development and social stability in the jurisdiction, and had a lot of political reputation. Emperor Wen Yang Jian once said to Yang Shixiong: "Be kind and kind in the state, and he was very good at governing. It was not only because of my responsibilities, but also because of the righteousness of the people."
Yang Gongren served as Ganzhou during the Renshou period of the Sui Dynasty until Yang Guang ascended the throne in the early years of Daye. Yang Gongren was transferred to serve as Minister of Personnel. In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, took advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Yang's troops to fight against Goryeo in Liyang (now Jun County, Henan Province) to raise an army to fight against Emperor Yang, and Emperor Yang sent Gongren to lead the army to fight.
He cooperated with Qu Tu's army to defeat Yang Xuangan in Poling (now east of Mengjin County, Henan Province). When the army returned to the court, Emperor Yang summoned him into the inner hall and said happily: "I heard that the formation of Poling is the most difficult to compare with. Although I know that you are cautious in following the law, I do not know how to do this bravely."
During this period, Sui General Yuwen Shu, Censor Pei Yun, Huangmen Minister Pei Ju and others used their power to accept bribes through the selection of scholars, causing a large number of people who were ignorant and willing to flatter and flatter to flock to the court, and rejected those who were truly talented and virtuous. Yang Gongren was self-disciplined and was very dissatisfied with what Yuwen Shu and others did, and Yuwen Shu and others were not comfortable with the minister Yang Gongren was not as comfortable as a royal family minister.
Yang Gongren was also unwilling to join the corrupt officials. Yu Qian asked to leave the court and was sent to Henan as the Henan Daoist envoy to suppress the heroes of the Central Plains who had risen.
Later, due to the unfavorable war, Yang Gongren retreated to Jiangdu. In the 14th year of Daye, Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan incited mutiny at the Jiangdu Palace and killed Emperor Yang of Sui. Later, he became emperor in Wei County. Yang Gongren was summoned to be Yu Wenhua and guard Wei County (now Daming County, Hebei).
Before, Yang Gongdao and Yang Shidao wanted to write a letter to his brother Yang Gongren, advising him to leave Jiangdu and return to Guanzhong, but they were both rejected by him. After Yu Wen and killed Yang Guang, Yang Gongdao finally completely lost confidence in the Sui Dynasty. After coming to Wei County, Yang Gongdao gathered a group of confidants and escaped from Wei County when Yu Wen and sent troops to attack Wei County.
Fortunately, he was alert and left very quickly. Not long after that, Wang Bo led Dou Jiande's army to attack, and Yu Wen Zhiji, Yuan Wuda, Meng Jing, Yang Shilan, Xu Hongren and other officials were all killed by Dou Jiande.
Later, he received the support of our intelligence personnel and finally arrived in Chang'an on a boat. Now, Yang Gongren, who is both civil and military, has become the Minister of War and Deputy Chief of Staff. He will wait until the situation is in the future and let him go to the army.
When we arrived at the hall of the huge sand table in Fangxuan Guanzhong area, a huge and clear sand table appeared in front of people. There were also several maps hanging on the wall. There were only a few staff members in the hall sorting out documents and wiping the dust on the signs and flags on the sand table.
Seeing the murderous appearance of our group of people, all the guys were shocked.
"...Your Majesty, please see, our garrison in Hancheng County is a security brigade and an independent brigade. In addition, the armed forces of Hancheng County have a total of 20,000 reserves. However, the security brigade and reserves have never been on the battlefield. Only 5,000 people from the independent brigade are truly capable." Wei Yunqi picked up the instruction stick and pointed out the flag stickers placed on Hancheng County. A red flag represents an army. If there is a black border on the red flag, it means a field army. If it is a white border, it is a security army. If there is no border, it is a new army.
The orange represents the division level, the yellow represents the brigade level, and then the green represents the regiment level, the blue represents the camp level, and the blue represents the team level. On the sand table in Guanzhong, blue flags are inserted, and in the county, there are only seven or eight flags at the regiment level, which is indeed very rare compared to the sand table with more than a hundred blue flags.
