"I just said that if my finger moved just now, I would definitely wake up."
"You three, each of you has five taels of silver!"
A soldier said very excitedly.
Listen to what a few people are saying.
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Yang Gan's eyes. A few days ago, he was still a high-ranking state pastor who had the power of life and death in a state, and he was still preparing to unite several states for a big war.
But how many days has passed?
It is said that even the prisoners are not as miserable as I am. The prisoners have no personal freedom at most, but my spirit, personality, dignity, face, etc. are all suffering an unprecedented blow!
How miserable...
Why did I want to provoke Zhang Bao, my ancestor?
Isn't it good for me to just be a local emperor who lives in peace and quiet?
At this time, Yang Qian felt extremely regretful.
"woke up?"
"Come on, let's work?"
"Here is a letter that you need to write and send to the four generals on our border in Hezhou."
"It's not a problem to keep them waiting there."
Zhang Bao smiled and took over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"write a letter?"
"What letter should I write?"
Yang Qian had an ominous premonition.
"Of course let them start fighting, otherwise, so many people would be watching around? And it would also consume so much of our Dongzhou's food and grass."
"I've been here several times recently to ask for food."
"Write a letter and tell them to attack Jeju in the south, divide them into three groups, and enter Jeju from the left, center, and right. The target is Zhangbei County in the north of Jeju."
Zhang Bao smiled.
"you--"
Yang Gan was a little panicked when he heard this. The thing he was most worried about had happened. If he really did what Zhang Bao did, I'm afraid it would be over and he would really become a puppet.
However, you underestimate me too much.
Do you really think that I have been working as a shepherd in Dongzhou for nothing for so many years?
"OK!"
"I'll write it to you!"
Yang Qian thought for a while and said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was a little surprised by Yang Gan's straightforward agreement. He originally thought that Yang Gan would refuse. Otherwise, he might have completely lost control of Dongzhou.
Now is the beginning of chaos. Only those who have soldiers have power. Without these people under his command, his position as a state pastor has no meaning at all.
Yang Qian couldn't help but understand this, but he still did it, probably because he had some backup plan, or in other words, he was not afraid to report it himself, but what exactly is the problem?
Zhang Bao couldn't figure it out.
"Yang Zhoumu, you shouldn't be hiding anything from us, right?"
"Aren't you afraid that after writing the letter, I will kill you directly?"
Zhang Bao asked calmly.
"Zhang Zhoumu, since you keep me, it means that I am still useful, and the men and horses under me, unless they have my handwriting or token, it is absolutely impossible to call them."
"And if you kill me, they will notice it after a long time, so you don't dare to take the risk."
"Besides, even if I don't want to write, do you think I still have a choice?"
"That old crooked guy who has been following you all day long, I guess if I don't agree, he will come in, right?"
"Last time he sent me to the palace with a knife. Who knows what he can do?"
"I'm not stupid!"
Yang Gan said coldly.
Zhang Bao frowned. Although what Yang Gan said made sense, Zhang Bao always felt that something was wrong.
I took the letter written by Yang Qian and read it over and over several times. I found that it was all according to my own wishes and there was nothing wrong with it.
After thinking about it, I sent someone to send it out.
The troops currently on the border of Dongzhou have received news that the troops from Liaozhou are pressing forward. For them, they are now also suspicious.
If they want to attack Hezhou, the troops in Liaozhou have made it clear that they will take action. By then, their own troops will also be in danger.
If there is no news from Yang Gan for a long time, he might send someone back, and he can't hide it.
Things can no longer be delayed.
After all, what I told Fan Hanzhong at the time was to capture Dongzhou within a month. No matter how long the delay lasted, Fan Hanzhong would also be passive.
Zhang Bao couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, they had 100,000 troops stationed in Hezhou, on the border between Hezhou and Taizhou, and 80,000 troops were also gathered in Taizhou, facing tit-for-tat with the troops in Hezhou, but the troops in Taizhou were waiting for Dong Regarding the situation on the Zhouzhou side, after all, Liaozhou also sent many troops to the border between Liaozhou and Dongzhou.
Taizhou did not dare to act rashly.
If Taizhou's troops move, I believe it will immediately be a big melee. But judging from the current situation, if they really take action, Taizhou and Dongzhou combined are no match for the Hezhou and Liaozhou troops.
One of them is led by the legendary general Fan Hanzhong, and the other often fights with the grassland people, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds them.
Moreover, these men and horses in Dongzhou are good at making money, but when it comes to fighting, they are not very good. I think back then, 20,000 men were in Liaozhou, and they were killed by Zhu Yue's people without even letting out a fart. It was embarrassing. ah!
Ding Yan didn't expect Dongzhou at all.
Now the whole stalemate is there.
…
Shaanzhou.
"What are you doing?"
"To fight or not to fight?"
"My troops and horses are ready, but you all have stopped."
Yaohan, the herdsman of Shaanzhou Prefecture, was very unhappy and slapped the table and shouted.
The people under my command stared with big eyes, not knowing what happened to them in Hezhou recently. They had obviously been deploying troops and declaring war in a high-profile manner a while ago, but now they have stopped at the border. I really can't understand.
"Made!"
"Ignore them!"
"Since they don't dare to take action, let's go ahead. I don't believe that after we invaded Hezhou, they can still sit on the Diaoyutai so securely!"
"Pass my order, 80,000 troops, divide into four groups, and attack Hezhou for me!"
Ma Yaohan shouted to everyone.
"this……"
"Sir, I think we should wait for a while? The court's attitude is unclear at the moment. I think this is why they dare not take action."
"If anyone takes the initiative to provoke this at this time, they will probably be targeted by the public."
A staff member said below.
"Court?"
"Shit!"
"Why the hell is there a court now?"
"The emperor is just a little kid, what can he know? Cao Kang has done a lot behind his back. Now is the time to grab territory."
"The imperial court has no soldiers. If we want to clean up the mess, we still have to rely on the stronger one. When we carve up Hezhou, the strength of our Shaanxi Province can be further improved, and then we will be more certain of success!"
Ma Yaohan said to everyone.
Although Ma Yaohan did not come from the military, he had a fiery personality. Although he was a bit rude and arrogant in his actions, he was more courageous than before.
Prior to this, the governor of Shaanzhou led many people to usurp the position of governor of Shaanzhou, but was strangled by Ma Yaohan's troops.
The head was chopped off and hung at the city gate for three days and three nights.
From then on, Shaanzhou was ruled by Ma Yaohan alone.
"But sir, these troops are all we can mobilize. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid-"
"Nothing good to say!"
"Just do it!"
"Do as I say. If anyone dares to say anything, don't blame me for falling out!"
