The Kingdom of Chen Cang surrounded and attacked Chen Cang and killed the officials of the imperial court. Hanling Emperor gave the order urgently and once again appointed Dong Zhuo as the former general to lead the troops to resist the Kingdom. And when Dong Zhuo's army arrived at Chen Cang, he had been facing the kingdom for more than eighty days, and was unable to breach it.
Yang Lin finished reading the information, and kept it, without showing any expression on his face. He was clearer than anyone else that the Darkhan Dynasty had exhausted all of his energy. Even if Hanling Emperor Liu Hong set up some sort of Eighth Guard Captain of the West Garden, he would not be able to save his fate of destruction.
”Military Advisors and General, the next step is for us to eliminate Zhang Chun. Tian Feng, Mu Lun, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, the four of you have been staying in Guangyang, and you have a better understanding of Zhang Chun's rebellion, do you have any suggestions for us to pacify the rebellion? ”
Yang Lin's gaze swept across the faces of the four of them and felt a trace of gratification in his heart. In these few years, the Youzhou had already regained a vigorous life under the four of them. Even though Zhang Chun had rebelled, other than the team of Northeast China s, all the other counties were calm. Furthermore, this year's food harvest was plentiful.
”Lord General, we have already seen your plan to eradicate the traitors.” Tian Feng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong, his skinny face moved, and said with a serious expression: ”Lord General, please forgive me for my rudeness, I do not approve of the battle plan you have drawn up!”
”Oh …” Yang Lin, Zhang Banxian and Tian Ji had spent a lot of effort to formulate this battle plan, but now that it had been rejected by Tian Feng, Yang Lin could not help but be shocked in his heart: ”Mr. Tian Feng, could it be that our plan has some flaws?”
”Lord General, this battle plan of yours will definitely be able to defeat Urushion and calm down Zhang Chun's rebellion within a short period of time.” When Tian Feng said to here, he waved his hand with all his might. He said with excitement: ”But, have you considered the consequences that would result from this?”
”I'm willing to listen to him!” Yang Lin was not excited, he looked at Tian Feng and said indifferently.
”First is how to control the territory of the Urushion after eliminating these Urushion. Triple Korea, Dong Su, Morvo, Sa Han, Gaoguanli, and even other tribes live off of hunting and farming. At the very least, they have a place of their own, and after conquering them, it will be easy for us to manage them. Furthermore, we can also send Wasteland soldier to open up a wasteland on their land. But the Urushion lives as a nomad, and the desert steppe is not suitable for settlement, and we Chinese do not know how to graze. Even if we destroy the Urushion, we would only be able to snatch some Wu Huan women and sheep, and not their land. If that was the case, the fresh inferior would take advantage of the situation and become stronger. ”It means that we killed a jackal at our doorstep, but attracted an even fiercer tiger!”
”The reason why the Darkhan Empire has declined to such a state, aside from the harm done by the eunuchs, outsiders and powerful officials, the greatest disaster is the Hu Zi at the border. Since the High Ancestor, they were first invaded by the Huns, and after the Huns were exterminated, the Western Qiang people, fresh inferior and the Urushion grew stronger. If we destroy the Urushion, it would be equivalent to helping the fresh inferior with a big favor. ”
”Second is the issue of money and food. In these two years, we have fought and settled down Wasteland soldier in Fuyu, Triple Korea, Gaoguanli and other places. Especially when the consumption of military equipment was too big, it had already drained the taxes on the Youzhou. ”At that time, the time limit for the Emperor to agree to exempt us from five years of taxes has come. From next year onwards, we will have to hand in our taxes to the imperial government. Now that we're going to carry out such a large-scale war, where did the money and food come from?”
”The third is that the Lord General will be victorious in a row, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Emperor and the Minister of the Court. Ever since the Lord General had calmed down, he had gathered a large amount of powerful generals and a large amount of elite cavalry. After entering the Youzhou, he first chased the Urushion and the fresh inferior out of the Youzhou, stabilizing the northern borders. If they were to eliminate the Urushion in one go, pacify the rebellion of Zhang Chun and the Emperor, as well as the other Minister of the Court s, they would definitely be shocked by the power wielded by the Lord General! ”
”If my predictions are correct, after the Lord General has pacified and Zhang Chun has rebelled, the Emperor will definitely make the Lord General hand over the military power and transfer them to the Luoyang to assume a post with lower authority. Since ancient times, generals with great military prowess and illustrious military exploits would die a horrible death! Even if the Emperor did not suspect, the ministers of the imperial court would not be at ease. The best outcome would be to return to their hometown and become a rich old man, while most of the generals would be involved in the plot against the emperor, where they would end up exterminating the nine clans. ”
”What is more lamentable is that we, the subordinates of the Lord General, will henceforth be bound together with the Lord General. Each side would be prosperous, and each side would suffer losses. If the Lord General can pass his later years peacefully, we can also have a good end. If the Lord General is framed, none of us will be able to escape. ”
History is the result of many rebel generals. Actually, there were no rebellions in the world. They were all forced to rebel and had no choice but to go all out. And his subordinate Generals, for his own safety and future, was also doing their utmost to encourage the rebellion. In that era where families were important, if something were to happen to Owner, even if you did not participate, you would not be able to escape responsibility.
The Big Account was abnormally quiet, no one said a word. Amongst these people, Tian Feng was the only one who had been in the imperial court before. Zhang Banxian lived at the bottom of society, and Tian Que was still very young, so it was obvious that they did not have any experience in this area. Thus, when they were making their battle plans, they did not consider these factors.
