Chapter four hundred and sixty-sixth school field soldiers
Zhou Guozuo's panic did not come from the party members, but because Ye An said what he feared most.
Although he was not strategic enough to serve as the chief official of Qingzhou, he still had some talent and learning. He had a vague feeling that what happened in Huanzhou might be related to the Dangxiang people, but there was no conclusive evidence.
The only thing I can do is to pray to all the Confucians in my heart, praying that this turmoil has nothing to do with the party members, and praying that the Huanzhou Rebellion will subside as soon as possible.
But it's a pity that Ye An's words broke his last illusion. In Zhou Guozuo's view, Ye An's words as a "little kid with a yellow mouth" may not be credible, but Chen Lin and Cao Yi next to him both looked like they were taking it for granted.
Then I knew that what Ye An said was true.
If the Dangxiang people instigated and planned the Xiqiang Rebellion behind the scenes, then many things would make sense. At this time, Zhou Guozuo really began to panic, but his panic was a sign of cowardice in the eyes of Chen Lin and Cao Yi.
.
Ye An simply did not intend to pay attention to the governor of Gyeongju who was frightened by the name of Dangxiang people. Are Dangxiang people scary? In Ye An's impression, the current Dangxiang people are just a group of ethnic minorities living in the northwest. As for what happened later
Suppressing the Song Dynasty all the way and winning repeated battles will only happen in a few decades. Why is Zhou Guozuo so afraid?
Seizing the military power of Zhou Guozuo, the governor of the state, is what Ye An wants to do now. If he does not support Huanzhou now, the impact of allowing Huanzhou to continue to be turbulent will only become greater and greater.
The military system of the Song Dynasty was based on external strength. Huanzhou was already regarded as the "external strength" of the Song Dynasty. If even Lianzhou could not resist it, the northwest would only be corrupted in an instant.
Fortunately, Huanzhou was not completely occupied. Although the Western Qiang attacked very quickly, they could not complete the invasion nor expand their army because of their numbers.
As long as the Han people are not crazy, they all know that this turmoil will not last long, and no one will be willing to rebel with the Xiqiang people. The only ones who rebel are the Xiqiang people.
Although there were beacon wars everywhere, they were limited to some military villages and towns, and there was no siege on Tongyuan Prefecture City under the control of the Song Dynasty.
Although the Xiqiang people are not smart, they are not stupid either. They know that a large number of Song troops are stationed in a state capital like Tongyuan. Once they attack, they will suffer heavy casualties. Who would do a deal that is not worth the gain?
It was just a matter of bypassing Tongyuan and other big cities, looting and besieging the forts. The people of the Song Dynasty had already taken their families and hid in the forts for safety. If they wanted to plunder, they had to attack the forts. At this point, the Song army did
Still quite good.
Through the war of attrition, the Xiqiang people's offensive gradually slowed down, and their consumption gradually increased. In the end, when they could no longer plunder, they had to return to their hometown, or continue to move south to plunder other state capitals.
The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages also arise. With the troops too dispersed, cracks began to appear in the alliance of the Western Qiang tribes. This is why Ye An is not very worried about Huanzhou.
However, the Xiqiang people are not a big trouble in Huanzhou. Under the tip of the iceberg of the Xiqiang rebellion, there are more powerful opponents secretly spying on the land of the Song Dynasty.
Cao Yi took over the defense of Anhua City. Although Ye An was the deputy pacifier, he did not have military power. In other words, he was not allowed to lead troops without the authorization of Fan Yong, the official pacifier.
When the troops were ordered in the school field, Cao Yi, who was wearing thick armor, suddenly looked a lot bulkier. In comparison, the full-body plate armor a few centuries later was quite sophisticated and convenient.
What shocked Ye An even more was the generals of the Cao family.
The good guys instantly transformed into "Iron Warriors" one by one. The thick walking armor was put on their bodies, and in the visor that almost covered the chin and nose, a pair of murderous eyes made people shudder.
Although a bit bloated, I have to say that this kind of armor is very intimidating, like a steel fortress rampaging on the battlefield in later generations. Just standing in line behind Cao Yi, there was suddenly no sound on the school field.
What kind of place is the military? It is a place that believes in strength and the strong the most. As long as you show enough strength and power, everyone will respect you and admire you.
Cao Yi is the queen of the generals and is well versed in this. Just setting up the formation has already shocked the originally bustling campus.
More than two thousand soldiers stood there without saying a word, staring at Cao Yi with admiration in their eyes. But even Ye An was shocked by such a scene. It was hard to imagine how many people
He can have the momentum of thousands of troops rushing into the wall, but when he appears in front of you, he is so sudden that you are speechless.
There were knowledgeable veterans in the army. When they saw this formation, they immediately crossed their hands and clasped their fists and said, "See you, General," without waiting for Cao Yi to issue a military order!
Wow...More than two thousand people clasped their fists together and bowed, shouting: "See General!"
The sound shook Ye An's eardrums, making him begin to doubt whether the history books he had read, those describing the vulnerability of the Song army, were true, and whether those words praising the bravery of the Khitan and Dangxiang people were exaggerated.
The army of more than 2,000 men in front of him, aside from other things, their courage alone was enough to reflect their will.
Why did the army of later generations care so much about the loudness and orderliness of the sound? That's because this is where the will of the army can be most intuitively reflected.
Even Chen Lin nodded slightly, but Zhou Guozuo next to him had a face full of money and whispered: "Why am I not so courageous when reviewing these thieves' troops?!"
Chen Lin rolled her eyes: "Military generals lead troops and civil servants govern the country. This is the law of our ancestors. Soldiers and generals are like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate. The general is the courage of the soldier!"
Zhou Guozuo nodded slightly. He probably understood the meaning. Although he was dissatisfied, seeing the two thousand soldiers appearing in an instant, he still had to admire Cao Yi.
Ye An stretched out his arm and put it on Zhou Guozuo's shoulder, smiling amidst his frightened expression: "You are now committing a crime and doing meritorious service. If you want to keep everything you have now, or if you want to go further, then settle down with me in Qingzhou."
Don't shirk it! I don't care what method you use. If anything goes wrong in Qingzhou while we are waiting to help Pingyuan Village, you will be infamy for thousands of years! I will definitely tell what I saw in Qingzhou."
"Tell the censors of Tokyo City truthfully! You may not know that Mr. Yuanbo is the master of none!"
Zhou Guozuo subconsciously touched his shoulder. He could still recall the kick that made him fall at the door of the government office. He felt ashamed and angry, but also more afraid.
The threat issued by the young prince in front of him was not a light word, but a "sharp sword"!
I simply had no other choice. It was better to plead guilty and meritorious services, or to say "Mr. Yuanbo"! One of them confirmed his crime, but the other was a threat that frightened him so much that he couldn't resist.
Who knows the name of Mr. Yuanbo? He is a noble person among civil servants, and has a close relationship with the censor in Wutaizhong... He could not imagine what would happen next, and nodded repeatedly: "With the emperor's mandate,
You must serve your country and die without hesitation!"
Ye An nodded with satisfaction, let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you cooperate well, when Huanzhou is stabilized, your name will be on the credit book. I, Ye An, will do what I say!"
Seeing the respectful Zhou Guozuo, Chen Lin frowned slightly. He didn't like Ye An's current appearance. He was so proficient in manipulating power...
