When the people of Jiangzhou heard the news, they were filled with joy.
Chang'an City was filled with mourning.
Although this battle was not big, it had a profound impact.
The people who died were all high-ranking people.
Compared with previous battle formations, even if they were defeated and tens of thousands of soldiers died, it would be nothing more than that.
When the defeated general returns to his army and weeps bitterly, comforts the military households, and shouts to wipe out blood and hatred, anger can replace sorrow and regain morale. Anyway, the world is in short supply of everything, but the top soldiers at the bottom will not be in short supply.
The so-called elite soldiers and horses are just thrown on the battlefield and trained in a few bloody battles.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
This time, all the dead were generals, big and small.
They are not mediocre generals or weaklings, they are all brave and wise generals with great reputations, talents who carry the weight of high-ranking officials.
There are more nobles and new generals...
I thought that it was not that dangerous to fight against monsters and barbarians. Even if the battle situation was unfavorable, some ordinary soldiers would only be damaged. As a general, no matter what, he could escape unscathed.
At most, it's just a matter of merit.
Yes, most of them went there with the intention of making meritorious deeds, but they were taken over by Yang Lin.
If one of these people dies, their muscles and bones will be broken, countless people will mourn, and the capital will be shocked.
What's more, dozens of people died.
When the news of this battle spread, the people of Chang'an were shocked.
The soldiers are not dead, the general is.
Totally unexpected.
People say that if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging in a nest.
Now, all the generals have been defeated.
This style of play has never been seen or even heard of since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
What is still different from the past is that in the teahouses and taverns, the ordinary gentry and common people are not much sad, but rather amused.
Although the people did not dare to discuss loudly, they still had the courage to discuss and make fun of things secretly.
"I heard that this time the emperor threw down all the memorials during the morning court. All the adults were jumping up and down, claiming that within ten months, Jiangzhou would be destroyed and Chen Guangrui would have his muscles cramped and skin removed..."
"I didn't expect that Duke Zhuangyuan would be so fierce. Isn't he a civil servant? In just a few years, the force under his command has become so strong. Can he stop an army all the way?"
"What civil servant? If you think he is weak, you are really wrong. His Jiangzhou governor's office is already so strong. Otherwise, how could he suppress and exterminate all the demons under his rule as soon as he takes office? Force should never be underestimated."
"Some people say that it is not the Zhuang Yuan Gong himself, but a demon possessing her. Otherwise, he would not have left his wife in the suburbs of Beijing and ignored her. After all these years, she has not taken her over to enjoy her blessings."
"That's right, something is wrong with the situation. Regardless of whether he is possessed by a demon or not, the court will give it a try. Do you think it could be..."
Someone asked quietly with a wink.
"This is not new news. The personnel of the Supervision Department have long wanted to control the old lady of the Chen family, but for some reason, the old house of the Chen family has been very peaceful. No one dared to do anything extraordinary. It seems that someone is protecting the court. All those who acted secretly were in bad luck."
"Well, the most difficult thing is actually not the old lady of the Chen family, but the old Prime Minister Yin. His daughter is very charming. I heard that she is very honorable in Jiangzhou and is favored by the number one scholar. Not long ago, she gave birth to a third child. Two children, a husband and a wife. Now that the anti-rebellion army has suffered a setback and suffered heavy losses, the old prime minister is embarrassed and has no choice but to hide."
"I've also heard that during the political discussions this morning, the generals from all sides pushed each other and unanimously recommended Mr. Yin to take command and personally capture and kill the rebellious son-in-law. From the looks of it, it's impossible for him not to go, otherwise, he has evil intentions."
"The old prime minister is very loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he can't hold a grain of sand in his eyes. Before long, I guess he will take the initiative to ask for help to quell the chaos. Jiangzhou Governor Chen, no matter how ruthless, let's see this time Does he dare to attack his father-in-law?"
At this point, a slight chuckle came from below.
In fact, in the eyes of the people.
This is a farce.
No one thought that the so-called rebellion in Jiangzhou would affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, or that it would affect the livelihood of ordinary people.
They come from all walks of life, and some of them have even been to Jiangzhou.
I still have a good idea of the situation in that area.
How tragic and miserable Jiangzhou was before, how peaceful and peaceful Jiangzhou is now.
They don't know whether to be rebellious or not, to be unruly or not.
All I know is that after Chen Guangrui, the No. 1 Scholar, arrived in Jiangzhou, the people there lived a good life.
This time, I heard that the imperial court transferred three thousand elite soldiers from Jiangzhou to suppress the demons. As a result, those three thousand troops colluded with the demons and killed their colleagues. Then, the governor of Jiangzhou was convicted by the court and wanted to be punished and executed. .
There’s no telling who is right or wrong in this matter, and the people don’t know the real inside story.
The only thing they knew was that Chen Zhuangyuan was really unlucky.
It's fine that his subordinates were transferred away, but they got into trouble and were in danger of being killed.
No one else would be able to bear it.
Jiangzhou also has the qualifications to be intolerable.
No, he killed the imperial envoy in a rage and rebelled.
Of course, on the Jiangzhou side, there was no rebellion on the surface, nor was there any flag-raising, or even changing official positions and proclaiming himself king or emperor.
It's just that he doesn't listen to the imperial court's orders.
If you want to hit him, hit him back immediately.
The shot was very fierce.
"I just don't know how this matter will be resolved. It is estimated that sooner or later Duke Zhuangyuan will be unable to stop him. He will inevitably die when the time comes. It will be a pity for the people of Jiangzhou."
Many people say so.
Overnight, Chang'an exploded like firecrackers. In the streets and alleys, ordinary people and dignitaries were all talking about it.
Speculating on the direction of things.
The popularity of this matter even overshadowed the news that the demon-suppressing army camp was fighting against the demon barbarians.
There are three hundred and sixty states in the world, and the states are in chaos. Although the huge dynasty is strong and prosperous on the surface, it is quietly crumbling.
If the governor of Jiangzhou is not punished, let him sit in power peacefully.
There may be some ambitious people in every state in the world who will imitate others and cause more troubles.
Therefore, this battle must be fought, even if it is not fought beautifully.
…
"If I want to go to war, one hundred thousand elite troops are enough. However, there must be a large number of masters. The Taoist sect cannot sit idly by. The Demon Slayer Division and the Supervision Division must also contribute."
Yin Kaishan's eyebrows exploded in anger.
I felt sulky for a while in my house, and even my wife couldn't comfort me.
After three days of this stalemate, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure from the court.
In the voice of civil servants and generals, he took over the task of counterinsurgency.
"Don't worry, the imperial court is more worried than anyone else. This time, they will allocate 100,000 forbidden troops and order all states to mobilize a large number of top experts. The national teachers will not stand idle. Taoist demon exterminators will dispatch the Wu Lei Division. .”
Wei Zheng's face was calm. He was extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't show it at this time.
In fact, letting Yin Kaishan lead the troops to put down the rebellion was not because he was interested in the old prime minister's peak strength in the late fifth level, nor was he trying to harm him.
Rather, he felt that this person was really suitable.
Now, everyone in Jiangzhou can see clearly the response measures, which are to use a large number of top experts to carry out beheading tactics.
Generally speaking, no matter how elite the soldiers and horses are, once the leading general dies, the morale of the army will be unstable and it will become chaotic without fighting.
To deal with this situation, one is to have a large number of masters to protect the main general, so that the beheading tactic will be ineffective.
At that time, it will be able to draw the military energy. The energy and blood of the one hundred thousand army will be unified, and the destiny will be connected. It will affect the destiny of the dynasty and the country, and it will naturally be invincible in a hundred battles.
There is another benefit to Yin Kaishan taking charge.
That is, as the father-in-law of Jiangzhou governor, even if Chen Guangrui doesn't care about love, he is not afraid of killing his father-in-law.
Is he afraid if there is a fire in the inner courtyard of his home?
There will always be three points of softness.
This is the opportunity.
The human dragon energy gathers together in the human barrier, and will not be severely suppressed like demons, gods and Buddhas, and has obvious advantages.
When the army comes to the city, Old Prime Minister Yin gathers a hundred thousand troops to protect the country's fortune, and can temporarily exert a combat power that surpasses the suppression of this side.
One side has its hands tied, and the other side has the upper hand.
It’s hard to lose even if you want to.
