Chapter 268 Letter from Beijing, King Ning wants to rebel
In Linzhou, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the winter moon has entered.
The army is no longer stationed in Linzhou, but opposite the pass of Bailong Snow Mountain.
Bailong Snow Mountain cannot be stationed, but Fang Jue has plans. This snow mountain is the best barrier, and he is ready to use extraordinary measures at any time.
"General, the entire army has been stationed." Wei Feng came to report.
In the Chinese army commander's camp, Fang Jue was warming himself by a fire. There were braziers in the surrounding tents. Otherwise, no matter how thick the cotton-padded clothes were, they would not be able to withstand the damage of freezing to the bone marrow.
The winter in Beiliang is bone-chillingly cold. Fortunately, after the army set off, the subsequent food supply supplies were delivered in time, and there was no shortage of charcoal fires.
Foam charcoal has been around since ancient times. Mineral charcoal is rarely mined and most of it is artificially fired.
The charcoal used by the military will naturally not be a good charcoal, as long as the temperature is enough.
"Ahem..."
Fang Jue was coughing due to the smoke, so he opened a crack in the tent, otherwise he was worried that he would be poisoned to death.
After Wei Feng came and sat down, he put his hands on the brazier and rubbed his hands.
"It's okay to stay here, but then you'll have to suffer. It's not going to be easy here." Fang Jue said with emotion.
"Actually, the general can stay in Linzhou City. This Bailong Snow Mountain is just a pass. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand people can't open it. Luoyang's army can't get through even if it comes."
"It doesn't matter whoever is stationed there." Wei Feng said with a smile.
Fang Jue shook his head: "Don't be careless. Once this place is lost, the four states will be in danger. There is no room for carelessness."
"In the Bailong Snow Mountain in the winter months, the wind and snow are so severe that sometimes even the horses can't walk steadily. Luo Yang shouldn't attack during this season, right?" Cheng Jie was also in the camp, warming himself by the fire while rubbing his dry and itchy hair.
Feet.
Fortunately, it had been frozen for more than a month and there was no smell, otherwise Fang would have had to kick him out.
"That's Luo Yang." Fang Jue said lightly.
The sixth most famous general in the world.
Others will not take risks in this season, who knows if Luo Yang will come.
"The last time a spy from Beiliang sent a letter, it was said that Luoyang and Emperor Liang had ceased war, and the two sides were temporarily in charge of both sides within the limits of Blackwater," Fang Jue said.
"What?"
Wei Feng was surprised: "Emperor Liang could actually agree to split the earth?"
For an emperor, losing his country is already very humiliating. To actually want to rule the world with traitors is completely intolerable.
"He has no choice." Cheng Jie chuckled.
Fang Jue nodded.
The Northern Liang Dynasty originally established its country by splitting the earth with military force.
But governing the world requires more than just force. After the civil servants came to power, their power became more and more powerful. Several generations of Liang emperors also wanted to suppress the military officers and elevate the status of the civil servants.
Because they were divided by military force, they did not dare to indulge the military attachés, fearing that it would happen again and they themselves would be ripped apart.
As the civil servant group becomes stronger and stronger, there will be a hidden danger... it will empty out the imperial power.
Compared with the strong military attachés, it is easier for civilian officials to evade imperial power, because there is no need to fight in peacetime, and administrative power is the most important.
Generally speaking, as the civil servants became more powerful, the imperial power declined, but Emperor Liang had not yet arranged the status of the military officers.
The grudges between the military attache group are getting deeper and deeper.
They were very dissatisfied because of a very simple reason: they conquered the world, but these civil servants stepped on top of them and acted arrogantly.
As a hero, you have to keep a low profile and be cautious. What's the point?
Patience is temporary, and resentment will inevitably explode as it accumulates deeper and deeper.
That's the case this time.
Luo Yang is no longer a military attache. He is a military strategist and politician. He is quite capable and has already united military attachés from all over the country to prepare for an uprising.
The new grain incident will cause Luo Yang's reputation to rise sharply among the people, and the last panel will be completed.
Therefore, Luo Yang immediately raised troops. As he expected, the military attachés from all sides were not willing to Qin Wang at all, and even hoped that he would succeed in overthrowing Emperor Liang.
Except for the troops in the hinterland of Liangjing and the Liangwu soldiers on the front line of the East China Sea, they also obeyed the orders of Emperor Liang. The armies from all over the country came to Qinwang at a slow pace.
It's not that the carriage and horse are broken down, or that the cold weather in winter delays the trip.
Anyway, he was unwilling and rushed to intercept Luoyang's army before it reached the capital.
"Southern Beiliang, a large area of military attachés have returned to Luoyang. He has been planning for many years. Many generals stationed in various places were his former subordinates."
Fang Juedao: "This man is really a talented person who seeks the country. He has been working secretly for at least ten years, and even the Emperor Zun Pavilion didn't notice it."
If Emperor Zun Pavilion knew the details of Luo Yang, Fang Jue would have known about it already.
Luo Yang's rebellion this time really shocked the whole world.
"General, how long has it been since the truce between Luo Yang and Emperor Liang?" Cheng Jie asked.
"Almost half a month."
"Half a month...I pulled back from Mozhou City. I was not restricted by the checkpoints in the middle. I should be almost at Linzhou." Wei Feng frowned.
"It can't come so fast, unless Luo Yang imitates my Yulin army and sets out on light cavalry, supplying supplies along the way." Cheng Jie said.
More than two months ago, Beiliang was different from now, and Beiliang was different from Daxia.
The terrain and weather are different, and the marching speed will be greatly restricted. The Yulin Army can travel nearly three hundred miles a day, and the Beiliang Army can travel a maximum of two hundred miles a day.
The snow is too thick and the roads are too slippery, making supplies more difficult.
"Luo Yang will never come back in person. What we have to be prepared for is in case of Ming." Fang Jue said.
"If I call this person, I have dealt with him in the early years. He is relatively stable and good at commanding large-scale legion battles." Wei Feng said.
Cheng Jie suddenly said: "What if Ming fails to come to Linzhou and goes to the west to defend the Western Chu Army?"
Wei Feng analyzed: "Most of the soldiers from Liangwu will return to the East China Sea. Once the territory of Beiliang is temporarily calmed down, the carve-up strategy of the Three Kingdoms will be hindered. If Western Chu and Donghai don't know how to close it when they get along... Haha, then there will be a good show.
Watched it."
"The people of Western Chu are greedy, and the people of East China Sea are unjust for profit. I don't think they will restrain themselves." Cheng Jie said disdainfully.
"In case Ming..."
Fang Jue squinted his eyes, feeling a little sleepy. He muttered the name and gradually fell asleep.
Dian Yi came over, put a coat on Fang Jue's body, and stood aside.
When Wei Feng and Cheng Jie saw this, they silently said goodbye to Dianyi and went back to their camps.
"Everyone's gone?" After everyone had left, Fang Jue opened his eyes and looked at Dianyi.
"Master, everyone is gone."
Fang Jue glanced at him: "What's the secret?"
Fang Jue was not going to sleep just now. Dianyi gave a hint and Fang Jue pretended to sleep.
"There is a letter from Beijing, the old pavilion master said..."
Fang Jue: "What did you say?"
"Prince Ning may be rebelling."
"What?"
Standing up suddenly, Fang Jue looked at Dianyi and stretched out his hand: "Give me the letter."
Dianyi escaped from his arms and pulled out a small bamboo tube, which should be a letter from a flying pigeon.
"On this day, can Beiliang still fly pigeons to deliver messages?" Fang Jue was a little surprised.
"The old pavilion master's snow eagle." Dianyi explained.
No wonder then.
Fang Jue opened the bamboo tube and took out a small note. There was only one line on it: King Ning took over King Wei's private army with evil intentions.
"Tsk..."
Fang felt that his whole body was not well.
He rolled his eyes and threw the letter into the brazier. It would be unprofessional not to burn it.
"I just finished laughing at someone else in Beiliang, and my own house is about to catch fire again?" Fang Jue was speechless.
For more than a month, no matter what happened, the rebel army would mock the military disaster in Beiliang.
As a result, something is going to happen in Daxia now.
"Master, what should I do? Prince Ning is not the King of Wei. He has a lot of background and holds no less military power than the He family." Dianyi is also a little worried. The family property is still in Jinling. Don't go out and see if he has a home.
.
"Isn't Prince Ning not ready?" Fang Jue sighed, and then realized the reason.
Many years ago, Emperor Zun Pavilion noticed this Prince Ning. He bribed generals and secretly trained dead soldiers. This seemed to be the seed of rebellion.
However, in order to successfully rebel, there are many things that need to be prepared and many people that need to be won over.
For example, he bribed officials in the capital, spoke for King Ning in the court, and downplayed his military power so that people would not pay attention to him and worry about him.
To paralyze everyone, turn their attention to the He family.
Yes, the former He family was Prince Ning's biggest shield. With the He family here, Prince Ning was not considered a thorn in the emperor's side at all.
But once the He family gave in, Prince Ning would become the dominant one.
Of course, the more important thing is that King Ning will feel that if he doesn't fight, he will have no chance.
Because of firearms!
Fang Jue tinkered with firearms, and His Majesty established the Musket Bureau. Nowadays, firearms are invincible in several battles, which is naturally feared.
There is only one thousand-household camp, which is so powerful. If we expand a few more camps, who can start a rebellion?
Therefore, Prince Ning must plan ahead. This chapter has been completed!
