Turbulent Times Chapter 656: South China Association

Not long after Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei left, Gao Ying suddenly begged to see him again. Yang Liang frowned and announced that he would come in. And then again, is there anything else you want to say to this king?"

Gao Ying said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I have two things to report to Your Highness."

"Speak up! I'll listen." Yang Liang frowned, feeling somewhat disgusted by Gao Ying's expression and tone.

"First thing, I want to remind Your Highness that Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei are from the Chen Dynasty after all, so don't use them too much. I doubt them..."

Before Gao Ying finished speaking, Yang Liang interrupted him impatiently, and said: "This king knows this well. Now that the flag is raised and the country is about to be established, and the war is at hand, this king does not want the generals under his command to be at odds." , mutual suspicion, Gao Gong said the second thing!"

Seeing that Yang Liang didn't want to hear more about this, Gao Ying felt helpless, sighed secretly, and said: "The second thing is that the old man suggested that His Highness send troops south immediately to attack the capital."

Yang Liang was very interested in this suggestion, he immediately sat up and said: "Gao Gong, please be more specific."

"Your Highness, although Yang Guang has taken the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, as far as I know, at least more than half of the aristocratic families do not want him to be emperor, and these aristocratic families are in the court and the army. There are many disciples, even if Yang Guang knows this well, it will take time to firmly control the army and the court. The old man thinks that His Highness should seize this opportunity before this time, and send The elite army went straight to Guanzhong, first conquered Puzhou, then captured Pujin Pass, and then His Royal Highness led the main force to follow, stationed troops on Bashang, and the west of the capital can be settled with a wave of hands, so the capital will inevitably shake, and the court will be suspicious of each other. Means, we will lure them to profit again, and persuade the defenders of the capital to surrender, and within half a month, a major event will be settled, I wonder what your Highness thinks?"

Yang Liang pondered for a while, but he was still a little hesitant. Two days ago, Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei advised him to separatize the former land of the Northern Qi Dynasty, because most of his soldiers were from the Kanto region, and it would be easier to get their support to separate the former land of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Gao Ying's suggestion made him quite tempted again. If he could win the capital within half a month, he would have almost won the world.

"If your Highness is worried, you might as well send troops to try first. If you can't take the capital within half a month, you can separate Bingzhou and nearby places to establish a country and fight against Yang Guang."

Gao Ying's words are well-founded, Yang Liang finally made up his mind, and said: "Gao Gong's words are right, this king will order to prepare food and grass, call all the generals, prepare the time in five days, and the army will go south after five days."

…

…

At the same time, in Xiao Mahe's mansion, Xiao Mahe and Wang Sengbian sat and drank tea. Chen Baxian killed him, but it was fifty years ago. At this time, they were both former ministers of the Southern Dynasty, and they were full of nostalgia for their homeland. They thought that the power of the Sui Dynasty made their idea of ​​restoring the country only a dream in the end. But at this time, Yang Liang's rebellion gave them some thoughts.

"Alas! I don't know if there is any hope for the Chinese in the Southern Dynasty to restore their country." Xiao Mahe was worried about gains and losses at this time. Although he had ideas in his heart, he knew that it would be too difficult to carry out this matter.

Wang Wei also sighed, and said: "The restoration of the country is naturally not easy, but at our age, you just need to do your best. As for whether you can succeed, it depends on God's will!"

Xiao Mohe hesitated for a moment, and said: "The crown prince established the Nanhua Association in the south of the Yangtze River. Over the years, many surviving ministers from the Southern Dynasty have gathered, and many of them have outstanding abilities. I heard that even Dan, who was rescued by the queen back then, After Princess Ying grew up, she also joined our Nanhua Association and became the saint of our Nanhua Association. It is said that Princess Danying hid in the capital of the Sui Dynasty and risked her life to contribute to the restoration of the country. As subjects, you and I, How can you give up lightly."

Wang Kai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "That's right. It's just that the key to this matter is not to let Yang Liang really succeed in rebelling, otherwise it will be no different from Yang Guang being the emperor. In this way, there will be no riots without us in Nanhua Therefore, after the King of Han came back yesterday, I advised him to separatize the land of the Northern Qi Dynasty and form a tripartite force with Yang Guang. Then, you, the old general, will lead the army to the south, nominally to siege the city and plunder the land for Yang Liang. But as long as the army is in the hands of you, old general, it will naturally be in our hands. When the time comes, depending on the situation, we will directly send troops to Jiangnan. With the foundation laid by our Nanhua Association in Jiangnan, we will wave our arms and cheer, the southern Chinese The flag will definitely be raised in response, and our great cause of restoring the country will be half successful at that time.”

"If the old man's guess is correct, Gao Ying will definitely persuade His Highness to directly send troops to take Guanzhong, so our key is to prevent Yang Liang from sending troops westward to Guanzhong, and vigorously promote the formation of a tripartite force with Yang Guang. An opportunity for our South China Association!"

At this moment, a confidant knocked on the door and came in, delivered a letter, and said: "I report to the two elders that I received a secret letter from the saint in the capital, saying that someone will arrive in Taiyuan Prefecture of Bingzhou in the near future to help the two elders." This elder removes Gao Ying."

When Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei heard the words, they couldn't help being surprised, and looked at each other. Xiao Mahe personally checked the unique imprint pattern on the letter that was only known to the elders and above of the South China Society, and then tore open the letter, and the two of them shared the letter After reading the biography, Xiao Mohe let out a long sigh, and said: "I have long heard that the Holy Maiden is not only strong in martial arts, but also excellent in strategy. They also sent people to help us get rid of Gao Ying. As long as Gao Ying is dead, with our influence on Yang Liang, the latter will not listen to us."

"The letter said that when the person sent by the saintess arrives, he will take the initiative to contact us. I don't know who the person is from the association, but he is so valued by the saintess." Wang Wei was actually a little unhappy. In terms of status, they are only half a level lower than the saintess, and on their territory, if they want to kill Gao Ying, they even have to send someone from the saintess who is thousands of miles away to help, which is a bit shameful! But in fact, from yesterday to now, they have sent several killers and used several methods. Not only did they fail, but all the people they sent never returned.

…

…

In the vast land of the Central Plains, the Taihang Mountains are like a giant dragon stretching from north to south, stretching for thousands of miles, separating the land of Hedong and Hebei into two.

For thousands of years, the roads across the Taihang Mountains have gradually formed eight important passages, known as the Eight Xings of the Taihang. Among them, Jingxing is the most important. It is a direct passage connecting Taiyuan Prefecture and Hedong County in Bingzhou. Battleground.
