This man is Gaoding's fourth brother. Because he is the youngest son in the family, Gaoding's brothers usually spoil him.
This man has never suffered much since he was a child. He holds a military position in the clan and usually just eats, drinks and has fun. In terms of being greedy and lustful, he is ranked among the best among the old people, so he is not willing to just do this. He gave up the happy life in the city so easily and ran back to the mountains to feed the mosquitoes.
"Then what should we do in your opinion?" The third brother knew what he was thinking and glanced at him and asked.
The skinny Yi general didn't know what to do, so he just pretended to lower his head and meditate to save face. Perhaps an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he actually came up with a solution after thinking for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, third brother, and younger brother think that Qiongdu cannot be given up easily. The soldiers and horses from other places can be withdrawn to Qiongdu to concentrate on defense. In addition, we can send envoys to Beigong to seize the horse, Su Qi and other tribes, as well as Yongkai to ask for reinforcements. In this way There may be an opportunity for change.
As for the sister-in-law, several nieces and nephews, as well as the elderly and women, they can retreat to Dingzi first and wait and see what is gained and lost in Qiong before making a decision. "
The fat Yi general really didn't expect that his younger brother would come up with a plan, and he thought the plan was pretty good, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the fourth brother would be so smart." He turned to the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I think Fourth brother, this plan is feasible, why not do it like this first?"
Gao Ding's wife was already panicking because she had nothing to do. Now she saw that the two brothers had an idea, and she and her children could evacuate first to ensure safety. How could she not agree?
"In that case, who do you two uncles think should be the general to stay in Qiondu?"
The fat Yi general said: "The decision was made by my fourth brother, so I should let my fourth brother decide who will stay behind."
As soon as these words came out, the thin general jumped up and said with a sly smile: "Brother, why should the younger brother take the lead here? Moreover, the younger brother is weak and not as tall and powerful as the third brother. It is the third brother who can shoulder the responsibility." The important task of defending Qiongdu."
This statement makes sense. Although both of them are unworthy in terms of martial arts, if we really want to compare them, the fat barbarian is more powerful. However, both of them are generally greedy for life and afraid of death. How can they put themselves in danger? Woolen cloth?
"No, defending the city is more about resourcefulness than martial arts. Fourth brother is always smart, so it's better for you to stay behind."
"No, third brother is now the pillar of my family. Who else should I take care of?"
"Fourth brother is joking. At this time..."
Neither of them wanted to stay in Qiongdu to deal with the army, and for a while no one allowed the other to quarrel. Seeing the dispute, Gao Ding's wife proposed to choose someone else as a general, and the two started arguing over whether their own men could control the military power. .
Just when the soldiers of Yuexi County began to regain their lost territory, Zhuge Liang, who was far away in Chengdu, finally received the victory document reported by Yang Qing.
"Come here, please quickly summon the three soldiers in the mansion, the clan leader, and Jiang Caoyu to come to me." After reading the document in one breath, Zhuge Liang excitedly ordered the waiter outside the door.
After that, he picked up the slip and read it again. Just now he had only read it hastily, and the details in it needed to be carefully considered.
After a while, Zhang Yi, Ma Su, Zongsu and others came one by one. When Zhuge Liang saw that everyone had arrived, he put down the bamboo slips in his hands, shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "I'm calling you here today because of the war in Nanzhong." thing."
"Prime Minister, what happened to the rebels in Nanzhong?" Zhang Yi asked with his hands raised.
Zhuge Liang said: "Yes, Gaoding, the Yi king in Yuexun County, has been defeated, and the situation in Nanzhong will change."
"What, this happened?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other except for the chief bookkeeper Zong Yu, who all had expressions of ignorance on their faces.
Ma Di stood up and asked eagerly: "But what big move is Yang Mingzhi doing?"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and handed over the victory document on the case. Ma Su was anxious and quickly stepped forward to take it and read it.
"Okay, Yang Mingzhi fought well in this battle, and he lives up to his reputation for knowing the art of war." After reading it quickly, Ma Di praised loudly.
When he said this, others became even more anxious after hearing what he said. Liao Hua, who was sitting below him, couldn't help but stand up and snatch the slip from Ma Su's hand. Ma Su smiled awkwardly when he saw it. He was so excited that he forgot to pass it on to others.
In less than a cup of tea, the remaining four people handed over the victory documents and read through them. Yang Qing's achievement of annihilating more than 10,000 Gaoding Yi soldiers with thousands of troops really shocked everyone, and even the Yi king Gaoding was killed by the formation. This achievement is not insignificant.
Moreover, Yang Qing achieved such a great victory with his own strength, which made everyone understand how difficult and precious this war was.
Liao Hua was also a man who knew soldiers. After reading the battle report, he had to say that the tactics and strategies were dazzling. He thought that Yang Ming was worthy of being a disciple of a master. No wonder Ma Youchang admired his tactics so much.
Seeing that everyone had finished reading, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Everyone, we are sitting here in Chengdu. We didn't expect that Yang Mingzhi would bring us such a big surprise from a remote place in the south. It's really exciting."
Zhang Yi answered with a smile: "The Prime Minister is absolutely right. It can be said that the three groups of rebels have been eliminated. The situation in Nanzhong is so good that we were caught off guard."
Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. According to the previous strategy, this year's response to the rebels in Nanzhong will be to maintain the status quo. After the court regains its strength next year, it will have the strength to go south to quell the rebellion.
However, after Yang Qing annihilated Gaoding's army, it would definitely affect the situation in the entire Nanzhong. Not only could the entire Yuexi County be recovered, but the offensives of the two thieves Yong Kai of Yizhou County and Zhu Bao of Zangda County would also be affected. If there is some restraint, the people who fell in Nanzhong will definitely be encouraged to re-establish their confidence in the imperial court.
The improvement of the situation is greatly beneficial to the imperial court, so the idea of whether troops can be sent to pacify Nanzhong this year suddenly came to the minds of many people.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang, everyone present was a man of extraordinary ability and resourcefulness. As one of the most capable ministers in the Han Dynasty, the pros and cons of sending troops to Nanzhong this year were clearly calculated by them in an instant. However, this determination still had to be carried out. Prime Minister Zhuge is here.
"Mr. Jun Sigong is right. This is the biggest happy event this year." Jiang Wan responded: "Yang Mingzhi is both civil and military and has outstanding talents. Having such a talent is really a blessing for the Han Dynasty."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he stroked his flowing beard and smiled. He was also very pleased with Yang Qing's performance. It was a bit unexpected that the main force of the Haoding rebels was wiped out in just a few months after going south to Yuexi. It can be said to be an excess. Mission accomplished.
"Well, Yang Qing's contribution is very great, so I asked you to come here today. One is to talk about how the court should reward meritorious people, and the other is to discuss how the court should respond to the changes in Nanzhong?"
As the actual person in charge of the daily political affairs of the Prime Minister's Palace, Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, I thought that the court had given Yang Qing and others a big reward for killing the Yi chieftain Li Qiucheng in the previous battle. Although the results of this battle are It was worse than last time, but after all, the rebellion of the old people had not been completely put down, and the whole Yuexi County had not been recovered, and thirdly, if Yang Qing was promoted again in such a short period of time, it would not be certain for his future career. It's a good thing,
Therefore, I think that the merits of the meritorious people this time can be recorded for the time being, and we will discuss the merits together in the future when Yuexi is recovered and even Nanzhong is pacified. "
Zhuge Liang nodded and asked the others: "What do you think of what Jun Sigong said?"
Jiang Wan cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, I think what Jun Si Gong said is very reasonable. However, in order to prevent the meritorious officers and soldiers from being discouraged, the imperial court can issue a clear edict to praise the meritorious officials."
"rational."
"feasible."
"agree."
After hearing this, the other three people also agreed with Zhang Yi and Jiang Wan's opinions. Zhuge Liang also felt that this was feasible and immediately nodded in approval.
