Chapter 624: Dealing with the Gentry
Qin Chun had returned to Pingyang and was in a restaurant with a gentleman's eyes looking down through the window and seeing the joyful people on his face. It can be seen that they were still happy for this victory.
Quan Hongji saw Qin Chun looking at the window and asked, "What are the generals thinking? Is it because General Li is disrespectful in his words when he is involved in the Nanying this time?"
Qin Chun was not in a daze, and every word of Quan Hongji was clearly heard in his ears. Qin Chun said, "Fan Yong really doesn't understand the principle of hiding all the birds. Ning Wangjun ran away and pursued them desperately. If Ning Wangjun really pacified Ning Wangjun, the prince would not rely on us."
Quan Hongji said in surprise, "Ning Wang's army is now defeated, but Ning Wang's army is supported by the eastern and northern borders. The last general will take advantage of their plan if they fail. There will be no shortage of war in the future. The last general is willing to follow the general to lead troops to fight."
If the eastern and northern borders dare to invade blatantly, there would be no such thing as Ning Wangjun. If they dare to make a big move, if they attack the whole country's forces, they will lose it, and they will not end up like this. They will not take such risks.
Qin Chun glanced at Quan Hongji. Quan Hongji was very loyal to him, but this person was not a powerful general, but he just hoped that everything would be the same as before and would continue to maintain his current status.
Qin Chun looked at him deeply and said, "This battle came too suddenly. Look at the Ning Wangjun fighting in a panic. If you want to jointly invade the eastern and northern borders, you must first find a way to solve the problem of food and grass."
Quan Hong Jidao "The last generals always feel that they will not give up"
Qin Chun said calmly, "They won't let it go, but what can they do?"
Quan Hongji nodded and said, "There is no big battle, but there will be no small battle. Compared to Yuanyou, this time Fan Yong won a great victory like his return in triumphant times, and the limelight will cover us."
Qin Chun smiled and said, "Don't worry! This kind of thing won't happen. Li Jin is a fox and will not let Fan Yong have a big promotion. At most, he will be promoted one or two levels."
Jung Hongji was puzzled and said, "Why is this?"
Qin Chun smiled and said, "Fan Yong is still young and climbs too high at a young age. Once he falls, no one can save him. Li Jin will not understand this truth."
Quan Hongji nodded and received teaching, "It's the last foolish person"
Qin Chun walked to the desk and sat down and said, "Don't talk anymore, drink."
Qin Chun had wine to drink, and the Lord of Ning Castle didn't even have water, let alone wine. The Lord of Ning Castle was shocked and turned his horse away. He looked like a wooden chicken in a daze. A thick smoke rose up to the sky and saw a fire.
Yang Bin and Qiu Ying also held the horse's reins and looked as if they were dead.
The horses were running all the way and neighed, and there were several horses that could not support them and they could die.
Qiu Ying was surprised and said, "Why did Li'an catch a fire!"
Yang Bin took a deep breath and said, "How is this possible? How fast is the pursuit in the southern border? At least it will arrive tomorrow. It is said that Chen Lang is in Li'an, and it is impossible to lose so quickly."
Qiu Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Lang is experienced and will never make people succeed so easily."
The Lord of Ning Castle seemed to have suddenly aged for more than ten years, and his face turned red and said confidently, "The fire was released by Chen Lang himself."
These words were heard and Yang Bin and Qiu Ying looked at each other. The two did not refute the words of the Lord of Ning Castle. The only possibility in front of him was that Chen Lang set fire to him. This move was to tell them that the Ning Wangjun was very disappointed in defeat in the Eastern Frontier this time.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of horse hooves came from the side, and there were about thousands of people.
Ning Wangjunren's face suddenly changed. Now there is no way out and there are pursuers behind him. Could it be that the entire army is wiped out?
Fan Yong slowed down the horse speed. The whole team of cavalry also slowed down. Fan Yong rode his horse up to a high place, and everyone could see thick smoke coming out of Li'an. From the distance, it would take several hours to get to Li'an.
Fan Yong chuckled, "I knew Chen Lang would cut off their retreat."
After chasing him, Lin Weiqing said annoyedly, "Even if you want to withdraw, there is no need to set fire. These people are so vicious."
Fan Yong was very careful and said, "Li'an is just a small place, but it is all controlled by the gentry. It's a pity for us."
Now that Lin Weiqing knew that Fan Yong was taking a break from his busy schedule, he took the opportunity to let the horse rest and recover. He would naturally have the advantage of chasing the enemy with his energy and fighting the exhausted enemy. Ning Wangjun would never get out.
Lin Weiqing nodded and said, "Li'an is indeed controlled by the aristocratic people, but what is suffering is that Li'an people, where can they live if their homes are lost?"
Fan Yong smiled and said, "Chen Lang's burning is a big gift to us. Needless to say, An people must have fled to Chen Hua. If we take them in, we will definitely praise the virtues for the prince."
Lin Weiqing is not as smart as Fan Yong, and he can laugh when he hears this. "I have never thought about this."
Fan Yong laughed and said, "General Li often told me that there are pros and cons in the world, it depends on how to use it."
Lin Weiqing said, "General Li is really a master."
Fan Yong laughed in silence and said, "Okay, don't flatter me. General Li can't hear it now. Ning Wang's army is mostly within ten miles. We must march in three directions and be careful to ambush."
The flag bearer set up a flag-making force to reorganize the formation and followed Fan Yong to pursue the enemy.
People had surrounded the enemy before, and the Lord of Ningbao and others set up a stance to welcome the enemy, but everyone knew that under the attack of hunger, cold and exhausted, all soldiers and generals not only lost their fighting power but also lost their fighting spirit.
Thousands of cavalry on the opponent rushed to the southwest high ground and stopped. There were also many troops behind them who walked out of the dense forest and stopped to move forward, forming a formation without any chaotic formation, showing that the opponent was an organized elite.
Yang Bin's eyes are the most relaxed and relaxed, and said in one breath, "It's Beiling Rider"
"Bi Ling Rider?" The Lord of the Ning Castle was beating wildly and said, "Why did they come here? Did they also lose?"
Regarding Fang Mo, they acted in a cooperative manner on the surface, but they would always be afraid of this cooperation.
Compared to Chen Lang, the Lord of Ning Fort was more concerned about Fang Mo. Since his cooperation, he was careful to guard against him step by step. The army had previously been more powerful than Fang Mo's strength, so he was careful before, and he didn't have much idea about Fang Mo's movements. Now the situation has reversed, Ning Wangjun was beaten to pieces and lost Gu Zhengxin.
When they saw Bei Ling riding over, they were not happy at all because they didn't know what Fang Mo's attitude towards him. They came to beat the dogs in the water, but they had no ability to resist.
The opponent's cavalry formation broke open, and three cavalry came slowly, with Fang Mo leading the way, followed by Lu Xiongwen.
Fang Mo's face was not ruthless, and it didn't seem like he was coming to trouble them. Fang Mo saluted the Lord of Ning Castle and "had met the Lord of Ning Castle"
If you are not here to make trouble, then you will have a cooperative attitude. The Lord of Ningbao felt excited and trembling in his heart, "General Fang!"
Qiu Ying and Yang Bin also gave a favor to each other. On the surface, they were not wary and secretly watched Fang Mo's reaction. If he had any intention, he would have to kill a few more people even if he was about to die.
During this war, Fang Mo and Chen Lang's troops were not damaged. If Fang Mo continues to cooperate with him, it will directly affect whether there is a chance to make a comeback in the future.
After seeing the etiquette, Fang Mo looked calm and looked at Li'an and looked thick smoke rising. He said, "Lord Ning Fort is too late to come down. Li'an cannot go. First retreat with me to Lianning, then turn north to Jingbei. The pursuers behind him will be able to intercept with all their strength. This time, I will suppress Fan Yong's courage."
Yang Bin and Qiu Yingjun had a strange feeling. If Fang Mo was in Lian Ning, even if he heard the news yesterday, he would have to arrive here at least tomorrow evening unless he had been hiding somewhere nearby.
What we see now is about 3,000 troops, and the rest of the troops are stranded in Lianning? Can these people stop the pursuers?
There were big questions in my heart, but the situation was subtle and dangerous at this moment. Even the Lord of the Ning Castle did not dare to ask. Since they were already defeated generals, they did not understand why Fang Mo came to support them.
This move is really profound and confusing.
The Lord of Ning Fort didn't want to take so much deep breath and was excited. He said in a deep voice, "Now General Fang is here to help, we can clean up the remaining troops, reorganize the lineup, and take advantage of Fan Yong's victory and arrogance to fight back, and maybe turn defeat into victory."
Fang Mo's lips showed a smile and said lightly, "The defeat is now done. Even if the number of troops in his hands is twice as high, it is still difficult to have the power to counterattack. Blocking is not a tough battle. Please ask the lord of the castle to set off immediately. If you delay, you may be slow."
The Lord of Ning Castle really wanted to cry in public to vent his grief and anger. This time, it was a complete failure. Fang Mo said everything that was true and helplessly agreed, "The important tasks of the palace subordinates are left to the general, and we are waiting for the general in Lianning."
Fang Mo smiled slightly and said, "Go"
At Wengong Zhuangzi, Hongshan entered and explained the situation of Jianghua to Wengong.
After hearing this, Duke Wen of Huibao secretly smiled and said, "Jiang Hua committed suicide? He knew what he knew!" After saying that, he said to Hongshan, "It's also hard for you to run for this matter, and I will never forget your hard work."
Hongshan said in panic, "This is Hongshan's duty. How can we not do our best? Master, don't say that."
Wen Duke said happily, "I never regard you as an outsider. As long as I live for one day, everyone will share good and good fortune."
Hongshan University thanked him, "Hongshan will definitely be loyal to death in the future."
Wen Gong smiled and said, "As long as you live well, that's it."
After drinking, Duke Wen sighed deliberately and said, "Do you know what the prince is doing? You don't have to worry about anything you think, you can say anything."
Hongshan's expression suddenly said solemnly, "This battle is a great victory, Guo Yun's reputation is increasing day by day. He now wants to take the opportunity to deal with the gentry. The Duke issued a tax order not long ago, and the price of salt goods has been reduced. As soon as this move is done, the people are grateful to Guo Yun, but it has a great impact on our financial resources. The price is so low or not, and the damage to us will be difficult to estimate."
Duke Wen murmured, "You're right, Guo Yun really dares to touch the gentry." He asked again, "According to your opinion, is there a solution to this matter?"
Hongshan pondered for a moment and sighed, "Hongshan is stupid and has no good way. At present, it is not appropriate to confront the prince head-on. He now has the hearts and prestige of the people. If it is not good for us to do it, it will be difficult for us to change our will when the government orders are made public, so we have to find another way."
Then he tentatively said, "It is better for us to use Cao Yu to lead all officials and the prince to make a fuss."
Duke Wen laughed and said, "This is a solution. He was a little respectful to Guo Yun. If he did this, there was no need to show mercy to him. It would be better to let Cao Yu lead people to make trouble, and the prince would know our attitude."
