Wang Ling seemed to have finally figured it out. He bowed to his superior again and said, "I ask for your Majesty's wishes."
This was the second time he asked Queen Mother Guo, but the meaning was different. This time he probably wanted to follow Her Highness's clear statement.
Qin Liang also turned his head towards his superior, but he did not look at Queen Mother Guo. Although he was familiar with every corner of Queen Mother Guo's body and almost every hair on her body, after all, she had to observe etiquette in front of others.
Queen Mother Guo had made the decision in Lu'an, otherwise she would not have come to Shouchun at all.
So she was very straightforward and said: "The guilty minister Sima Yi was so bold that he led troops to attack Simamen, robbed the arsenal, held the emperor hostage, and corrected the mistakes of the troops. I had no choice but to come forward. I hope Wang Yanyun and others will put the country first, and King Qin will fight against the rebellion.
To Qingjun's side."
Qin Liang immediately echoed: "According to His Majesty's edict, King Qin will fight against rebellion and clear your side!"
Wang Ling and Wang Fei bowed to each other and said: "I have received the imperial edict!"
Empress Dowager Guo said: "The great Wei Dynasty has such loyal ministers and good generals as you, and the country and the country are very fortunate."
The three of them thanked them again. Then Wang Ling turned around and said, "Your uncle and fourth uncle are still in Luoyang, and we have to discuss this matter with your cousin again."
Wang Guang and others are Qin Liang's elders and Lingjun's biological father. Qin Liang is not qualified to say that for the sake of the overall situation, Wang Guang and others can find their own way. Only Wang Ling can make such a decision.
In fact, at this point, what else can we do besides letting Wang Guang run away on his own? If they can't afford the army, they will die when the clan is exterminated. If they raise the army, they will have a chance to survive, because the Wang family still has a large army outside, and Sima Yi is anxious to kill Wang Guang
, only negative effects.
So Qin Liang didn't respond, turned around and took out a map from his bag.
He unfolded the map, stood up and placed it in front of Wang Ling and his son. He pointed at the map and said, "Grandpa, please take a look. The first thing King Qin's army should do is to take the second city of Lejia and Ruyang by surprise."
Wang Ling is also a man who has fought many battles. His military ability may not be outstanding, but he has rich experience. If someone explains it, he will definitely understand.
Qin Liang then continued: "Yangzhou is a place of the Fourth War, and it is by no means a place that can be defended for a long time. We must attack it first in order to expand the depth of our movement. Lejia (near Zhoukou City) is close to the west bank of Yingshui River. If we capture Lejia, then
It can restrain the enemy troops from going south along the Ying River and prevent our troops from being squeezed southward.
The Toulu Canal was a waterway built during Emperor Wen's time to connect the Ru River and the Ying River. Ruyang blocked the Toulu Canal waterway and occupied Ruyang, which cut off the enemy's route to quickly mobilize troops from the Ru River Basin to the Ying River.
These two places are not far apart. They are both located to the west of Yingshui River and south of Toulu Canal. They can also serve as each other's horns and support each other. To contain this place, first of all, our army will not be defeated quickly. King Qin's army will spread out in a short while.
Already."
Qin Liang continued: "In addition, we cannot be trapped in Yangzhou. Without rear support, the food cannot sustain more than 100,000 soldiers. Nanton County to the south of Lejia and Chen County on the other side of the Ying River have experienced heavy losses in recent years.
A large amount of grain has been accumulated in the newly established farmland. It is speculated from the complicated news from the servant school office and other places that the grain stock in these two cities alone is at least tens of millions of dan! If this area is successfully captured in the first step, then
Our army of 100,000 has enough food and grass for at least half a year.
The first battle is crucial, but the outcome is not a fight, but a surprise attack. We must reach the target city faster than the Luoyang army. Otherwise, Sima Yi's troops will arrive at Lejia first and block our army's progress. Then the situation will take a turn for the worse and the initiative will change.
It becomes passive. Whether we can win or not depends on who moves faster and whether the news of our raising troops will be leaked in advance."
Those farming operations were Deng Ai's idea. Sima Yi made the decision to accumulate a large amount of food in order to attack Wu, but did not put it on the front line. Sima Yi was indeed a bit of a thief.
Wang Ling frowned and weighed for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "The day before we summon all the generals to swear a blood oath, I sent my trusted aide to Luoyang to ask your uncle to try to escape."
With Wang Ling's attitude, Qin Liang finally talked about the matter: "Following the wishes of our ancestors, before sending troops, we sent people one day in advance. What we did first was not to summon a large army, but to mobilize the mobile troops in hand.
Attack first, and then mobilize the garrison to achieve a surprise effect.
My maternal grandfather, in the hands of General Zhuge (Wang Ling was in charge of all military affairs in Yangzhou, Zhuge Dan led thousands of people, and the military power was also in Wang Ling's hands), there were at least 30,000 Chinese and foreign troops in Shouchun, and my cousin had more than 10,000 in Ping'a.
The Chinese and foreign troops in Yanzhou can immediately dispatch nearly 6,000 private troops to garrison and garrison troops. In total, there are 50,000 elite troops. The first batch of troops does not need to be dispatched in full, but it is enough to capture those counties and small towns."
Wang Ling looked at the map and said, "Very good."
Second uncle Wang Feixiao also said: "Zhongming is a man who can withstand an army of tens of thousands with five hundred. I can trust him."
Wang Ling said: "Next, we should first call Linghuyu to Shouchun for discussion. I said I was ill and asked him to come."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "Before His Highness issued an order to King Qin in public, only the six of us knew about it. No matter whether it was a confidant or a confidant, there was no need to inform him. Sima Yishen is considered to be a member of the general's palace, and it is impossible for cousin Linghu to feel that nothing is wrong, so
Cousin Linghu will definitely agree to raise the army."
Wang Ling frowned and said: "After we raise the army, Sima Yi will still kill Cao Zhaobo and others?"
Qin Liang said: "No matter what, Sima Yi will kill the people in the general's mansion, maybe he will start killing now!"
He thought for a while and then said: "Sima Yi wants to control Luoyang as soon as possible. Killing the generals and others is the fastest way, which can immediately frighten the government and the opposition. Otherwise, the general's office has promoted so many people, many of whom are officials from humble backgrounds. As long as
If the general is not dead, his military career is not over yet, which poses a great hidden danger to the Sima family. How could Sima Yi let the general go?
Moreover, if the Sima family does not quickly intimidate all the court officials and everyone writes a letter to let the emperor, who has already married in the Yuan Dynasty, take charge of the government, the first person who wants to deal with the Sima family is the emperor. Although the emperor is young, if he has the opportunity, he will really
There may be something happening behind Sima Yi. If Sima Yi is killed, His Majesty may become the de facto emperor, and the temptation is huge. The war is imminent, and Sima Yi will never allow huge hidden dangers to be left in the rear."
When several people said this, Wang Ling and others bowed and faced the superiors.
Queen Mother Guo's voice said: "I will act according to Qin Zhongming's plan."
The three of them bowed together: "Here."
When the matter was almost settled, the three of them said goodbye to Queen Mother Guo. Qin Liang followed Wang Ling and his son and exited the room.
When he reached the eaves, Wang Ling looked back and said solemnly: "I will create a dense courtyard for His Highness to live in."
Qin Liang said: "My grandfather's considerations are very comprehensive."
The spring rain still shrouded the courtyard, and the three of them stood on the eaves for a while, watching the rain together, but they didn't seem to see anything. It was probably just because the incident was sudden, and they didn't fully recover, so they calmed down at this time
Come down and experience the situation.
Wang Feixiao pondered: "How will the generals and governors of various places choose?"
Qin Liang said: "My grandfather has close relationships with many people, but don't count on them in the early stage. Most people will definitely wait and see who will win and help whom. After the army starts, we can contact each other and try to win over."
Wang Ling turned his head and glanced at Qin Liang. He didn't know what he meant. Maybe the phrase "whoever wins helps the other" was a bit harsh. That's the truth. It was indeed a bit unpleasant to say it out loud.
The people on the eaves suddenly fell into silence. The faint sound of drizzle outside was even clearer.
The damp vegetation in the courtyard, coupled with the isolation of the misty rain curtain, makes the greenery no longer conspicuous. The rainy light, the simple buildings, everything seems to be gray in color, without much spring breath, and it looks different from the autumn scenery. No difference.
The future is still unclear, even as gloomy as the color at this time.
However, Qin Liang feels much more comfortable than before. Because no matter what the outcome is, at least he no longer has to worry about it. Sometimes the most energy-consuming thing is actually competing with himself.
Qin Liang said: "I would like to go back to Lu'an and bring you to live in Shouchun."
Wang Ling nodded and said: "Okay."
Last night, I didn't ask Lingjun and others to go north together, because I still didn't want Wang Ling and others to feel that the relationship between Qin Liang and Queen Mother Guo was too close.
However, Wang Ling and Wang Feixiao should both know their priorities. The most important thing at this meeting was not to be curious about Queen Mother Guo's experience in the past year, but to get the support of Queen Mother Guo. So they did not ask any more questions.
