It's already night, because of the influx of the aristocratic families in southern Xinjiang, Qingquan City, which was more prosperous and noisy during the war in southern Xinjiang, also fell into silence. The scattered lights and the sounds of bangluo and dog barking from time to time set off the night more quietly, and the lonely moon hanging in the East sky and the starry night sky set off the winter night of Qingquan city even colder.
But in the silent night, in the secret room of a magnificent mansion in the west of Qingquan, several people, old or old, are sitting around a stone round table with gloomy expression. There is no sound in the secret room except the breath of each other and the sound of lights.
After a while, a man in the secret room, who seemed to be about 40 years old, but was the youngest man in the secret room, finally lost his composure and said, "even uncle, since the arrival of Hou Bai Yi in Wu'an, many families that were originally moved have shrunk back. Now Bai Yi has begun to take over the military power. With the character of killing God, he will definitely attack us. You are the oldest here. You need to come out with a constitution. "
"Don't be impatient, Bian xiannephew. Those people are as timid as mice. Before, they were trying to win over, but they were just strong. Their retreat didn't have much influence on me." A gray and white man in his sixties said something to the Bian family owner. Then he looked at the old man who had been sitting in the first place and kept silent and said, "even elder brother, but what Bian xiannephew said is right. The current situation is really not good for us. Bai Yi is not Liu Buyi and Yan Zheng. He has never been kind to the aristocratic family, We don't have so many worries in mind. We have to plan ahead. "
"Yes." Another man in gorgeous clothes beside him said, "even brother, before we gathered all our people in Qingquan City, although in the name of responding to the emperor's order to migrate, Liu is very sophisticated. He can't see our motives. Now our four families have gathered 30000 people here, almost all of our families are young and strong. If something goes wrong, We are doomed. Even the whole family is in danger of extinction. "
"What do you mean? Is it in Bai Yi's arrival to continue to launch now, and then split the earth according to the original plan? " Sitting in the first place, the owner of Lian's family moved slightly and said.
"It's better to take advantage of Bai Yi's unstable foothold and start ahead of time, and our children buried in the Phoenix guard in advance, so that we can quickly control Qingquan city. Now Qingquan city has gathered countless money, grain and weapons. As long as we master it, we can quickly pull up an army. At that time, the logistics of Lu que, who was far away from Danshui, was cut off. Even if he was extremely intelligent, he could not escape defeat. As long as we wait until zhennanguan was broken, we can avoid the edge of the animal tide and make way for the animal tide to go north. When Yu Yuanxu is too busy, we can rebuild our country and restore the foundation of our ancestors. " At the beginning, the owner of the Bian family said excitedly.
"How can things be so simple? How can Bai Yi be such an easy person to match? His ability of commanding troops is well known in the world, and our influence in the Phoenix guard is not big. I don't think we are Bai Yi's opponents." The last middle-aged man who didn't speak in the secret room said.
"Brother Xiang, why should you raise other people's morale and destroy your prestige? Are you afraid?" Side surname home owner smell speech some displeasure of say.
"I should have been afraid of my family. If you say I'm afraid, I'll tell you the truth. I'm really afraid." He patted the stone table for his family and said, "with the strength of our five families, there are only 30000 or 40000 young men now, while Qingquan city has gathered seven of the top ten Phoenix guards, except zuozhuo and zuoqingluan. Among them, the right Honghu guard, which we penetrated most deeply, was transferred out of the city by Liu budoubtless. The seven guards, together with Yanzheng's Changqing Third Battalion, are nearly 300000 troops, It's almost ten times as much as ours. There are also famous marshals like Bai Yi and old foxes like Liu Buyi. You tell me what we're going to win. "
At this point, he took a deep breath to the owner and said, "moreover, what we are planning is a big crime. Once it fails, the eighteen Marquis's house on the eve of the moon is a lesson for us."
After hearing Xiang's words, the faces of the rest of the people in the secret room changed slightly. The lunar night rebellion three years ago was almost comparable to that of King Dongping when Emperor Yu Yuanxu ascended the throne. The eighteen Marquis's house, which was finally destroyed, was the descendant of the kingdom who surrendered to Yu Wangshu when Da Qian founded the kingdom, But they are much higher than them in identity. Just like the ran family of Wenchang, it was one of the thirty-six civil and military Marquises second only to the government of several big powers.
Moreover, although they are able to dominate their own territory in southern Xinjiang, their own strength is not comparable to that of the 18 Marquis's house. Even the most populous and powerful Lian family among them is just a Marquis of the countryside, and their influence is limited to the villages and counties.
But if they want to give up this opportunity, they are not reconciled. After all, as long as they can win Qingquan City, they can realize their ancestors' dream of restoring their country. As long as Qingquan City, an important town in the south, is lost, there will be problems in the logistics of the army outside the pass in the south of the town, and the morale of all the legions in the South will be seriously hit. Originally, Daqian's victory is uncertain in the face of the tide of beasts. In this case, even if Lu que, the commander-in-chief of the south, has the ability to steal heaven, there is no way to return to heaven.
Once the animal tide crossed the zhennanguan pass to the north, the empty army in the country had to rely on the dangerous terrain. Even if they could win in the end, they would lose a lot. They would never be able to go south to fight against them again, so they could take this opportunity to break the soil and restore the country and rebuild the king's name in the twelve counties of Southern Xinjiang.
This is the opportunity that they have been waiting for more than 200 years. Originally, everything was ready. However, the sudden arrival of Bai Yi disrupted all their arrangements. The families that had suffered heavy losses due to the loss of land and business in southern Xinjiang stopped to wait and see. Now, as the five most important families, their internal opinions are no longer unified.
Hou Baiyi of Wu'an is famous for the blood of hundreds of thousands of troops from Tianxing and Nanli. In addition, he is tough and ruthless. They can't help but fear him. However, although their previous actions were secret, Liu Bujue, a prime minister who had been in the official world for decades, and Yan Zheng, a young man who did not dare to be underestimated, could not find anything. Moreover, as a cabinet prime minister, Liu Bujue could use the power of the Department of internal affairs.
With the power of the internal affairs department in Daqian's country, what they planned might have been on Liu Buyi's and Bai Yi's desk at this time. If they stop now and wait until the end of the war in southern Xinjiang, they might be cleared immediately.
"It's reasonable to say to the owner, but we have to start now, and it's no doubt that stopping at this time will be the end of our way. Liu does not doubt that he Yan will not let us go, and Bai Yi will not. " The old man in Huafu sighed helplessly.
Originally, the situation was good. As long as the leaders of Fenghuang Wei were killed and Qingquan city was taken, they could take the whole south of Changqing River on this basis. After the tide of beasts, when Daqian's troops were exhausted, they could draw a river with Daqian. But Bai Yi's arrival has made all this chaos. To tell you the truth, as far as he is concerned, he is more afraid of Bai Yi than the Duke of Wei Lu Chun and the newly rising Lu que.
Although Bai Yi was not the commander-in-chief of zhennanguan before he was transferred to northern Xinjiang, he was the commander-in-chief of zhennanguan before Shen Zhang. He even participated in the bloody battle between zhennanguan and Tianxing and Nanli allied forces as a grain transportation officer. Naturally, he knew that Bai Yi was accurate and ruthless in his use of troops. If he didn't move, he would hit the enemy like thunder, Don't give your opponent any life.
Moreover, Bai Yi beheaded 200000 soldiers in Zhennan pass. The bloody scene is still fresh in his memory to this day. Once upon a time, many nights, he dreamed of the scene of that year, and then woke up in his sleep. Now when he thought of facing Hou Baiyi in Wu'an, he was very nervous.
However, he can't help but choose the situation now. Before Bai Yi completely controls the power of the Phoenix guards, he may have a chance to start early. If it's too late, they can only be reduced to lambs on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. At that time, the fate of the family and personal life and death will not be decided by themselves.
"Brother Zeng, you can tell us how to launch it. There are three battalions of Changqing in the city. Outside the city, Bai Yi is accepting the power of the Phoenix guard. With Bai Yi's ability of commanding troops for many years, we can control the morale of the general in three or two days. We only have thirty or forty thousand people, so how can we win?" Xiang's master stares at Zeng's master and says.
"We can get rid of Liu Buyi and Yanzheng, take Qingquan city first, and then use our potential strength in Fenghuang Wei to attract Bai Yi's attention and send assassins to kill him." The master of the Zeng family said that he was afraid of Bai Yi, even afraid of Bai Yi. But because of this, he wanted Bai Yi to die.
The youngest Bian family leader shook his head and said, "it's a good strategy, but Liu Buyi and Yan Zheng have been guarding against us all the time. We can see that Liu Buyi can't get out of the city guard's house during this period of time, and Yan Zheng's new arrival is followed by the three guards of Changqing. We can see that it's very difficult for us to find opportunities. As for Bai Yi, his personal guards come with him. They are all real warriors who fight bloody battles and have excellent cultivation. It's almost impossible to kill them under the protection of different levels. What's more, Bai Yi himself is a martial arts expert. Brother Xiang, you've been in Bai Yi's army. You don't know that. "
"What do you want to do?" Both Xiang's and Zeng's family leaders look at Bian's family leader. They both know that although he is the youngest of them, he is a scheming and then moving person. If we only talk about scheming, they may not be his opponent.
"I'm the youngest here. Naturally, several uncles and brothers make up their minds. I just follow orders." The master of Bian's family shakes his head. Now he can't think of a way to break the situation. No matter from which angle, with Bai Yi coming to Qingquan City, their last chance has been lost, and even their own life has been blocked. There is such a great disparity in their strength that even if they are wise and resourceful, they are useless. What's more, their opponent is a famous Marshal like Bai Yi, an old fox like Liu buzhui who has been in the officialdom all his life, and one of the most outstanding talents of Yan Zheng's young generation.
"Even elder brother, you have a word to say." Seeing that Bian's family leader said so, several people looked at Lian's family leader sitting in the first place at the same time.
"A son is wrong and loses everything. Yu Yuanxu transfers Bai Yi to deal with our southern Xinjiang aristocratic family. Unfortunately, our families have become the first rafters to stand on top of the storm. However, since ancient times, people who seek profits from tiger mouth have always been like this. Since we have made a decision, we should think of today's situation. Now we have to consider not how to occupy Qingquan and recover the country, but how to preserve the family. " Even the old man said with a sad face.
The so-called person is not as good as nature. Bai Yi came too fast. And from northern Xinjiang to the imperial capital, and then from the imperial capital to Qingquan City, Bai Yi didn't show any news all the way. When Bai Yi came to Qingquan City, they got the news, but it was too late.
In his opinion, the previous plans and plans are no longer possible. The most important thing is how to preserve the family's strength in such a situation. Otherwise, it is inevitable that they will die and their families will be destroyed. Although Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian, is lenient, he will never be soft on the rebellious. One of the first king of Dongping and the later eighteen Marquis's house is his younger brother, A founding state existed in the Marquis's mansion, but in the end, it was killed.
"Brother Lian, what do you mean?" Asked the owner suspiciously.
"Our current strength is not the opponent of Bai Yi and Liu no doubt. We can only create chaos and make the Ju clan flee. Now the people of twelve counties have been moved away. It can be said that the land is vast and the population is sparse. As long as we can leave Qingquan City, we can win the vitality." Even the old man thought about it and said.
"Where are you going? If you want to leave Daqian, the only way out to the south is zhennanguan. Now the army of zhennanguan is gathering. We used to be like sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Mingquanguan, which leads to the sand sea, is in the northwest. To get there, you almost have to go through most of Daqian. To the East is the vast sea, and to the west is the mountain range. Where can we escape? " When Bian's Master heard the old man say this, he felt cold in his heart and said with a pale face.
"Go to the southwest, cross Lingshan mountain, go along the north side of xiyuanze, go to the north of Ningan County, and then turn to Shahai. This may be the only way for us to survive now, but before that, we need to make Qingquan City chaotic, so that Bai Yi, Liu Buyi and Yan Zheng have no time to deal with us. " Even the old man said.
