{Thank you, my friend Caracal Iron Rider for the commuter pass} After a while, in the palace room of Nuoda, only Sima Shao and Huangfu Fanghui were left, and Sima Shao signaled with his eyes.
Huangfu Fang arched his hand back and said: "Your Majesty and Tao Gong have not advanced an inch in attacking the city, and the casualties are quite heavy, I don't know if Your Majesty still has the confidence to break through."
Sima Shao said unhappily: "Why did Huang Fuqing come here late at night, just to satirize me?"
"How dare the minister" Huangfu Fang smiled back and waved his hand: "The minister just wants to point out that the city is easy to move and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a huge amount of grain and rice from various families has been accumulated, not to mention three or two days, and ten more three or two days may not be able to break through, what should Your Majesty do at that time?"
Sima Shao remembered the group of scholars, Zhuge clan is the city of Yixing blatantly opened conditions, at first still want to speak and be ashamed, still holding the pipa half covered his face, forced by the pressure of Yun, a little out of the hand to wave the flag and shout, but in the context of such as Langya Wang, Lu, Gu and other high-ranking clans generally do not work, Zhuge quickly retreated, and Zhuge has always been good friends of the Taishan Goat, Chen Liucai also retreated, this retreat can not be contained, one after another retreat, although the troops have not been withdrawn, but no longer participate in the attack.
Until yesterday evening, the troops were still attacking the city, only Sima and Tao Kan were left, and the other families gathered around the side to watch the excitement, and the possibility of taking advantage of the fire to rob when the attack was broken did not rule out.
"What does the prime minister want?"
Sima Shao asked rhetorically.
Huangfu Fang replied: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are not as big as the Jiangdong Shi family, they can afford it, we can't afford it, so they stand by and watch, if you want to be a fisherman, your Majesty is willing to make wedding clothes for other families."
Sima Shao didn't speak with a gloomy face, and in the flickering firelight, his face was a little hideous.
Huangfu Fang replied again: "The city is easy to attack, but if you retreat, I'm afraid it won't take long for the grain and rice to run out, the soldiers will be centrifuged, and finally scattered in a hurry, Tao Gong is better, it's a big deal where to come from, where to go back, and if Your Majesty has no soldiers in his hands, I'm afraid it will be a repeat of Wang Dun's old things." ” "What the hell are you trying to say?"
Sima Shao urged impatiently.
Huangfu Fanghui solemnly arched his hand and said: "After Tao Gong is willing to attach himself to His Majesty, he will raid the scholars, take their fields and acres of grain and rice, and use the funds for use."
"This" Sima Shao is not stupid, it is not difficult to guess the intention of Huangfu Fang's return, but when he really said it, he was half shocked, half pretended, and showed a look of shock.
Huangfu Fang Hui silently waited for Sima Shao to make a decision.
Sima Shaoxi got up and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, showing his inner struggle, which was different from the second surname of Ji Zhang, the two families sent people to assassinate him, he in turn destroyed the door and occupied the name of righteousness, no one could say half a word, even if it was the Gu family and the Lu family who were in the same Jiangdong, after the unsuccessful plea, they could only stand by and watch the two surnames being raided and exterminated.
And take the initiative to attack the scholars, there will be no name and righteousness as a cover, not to say that it will not be successful, even if it is done, in the future, it will be a tyrant in the history, and it will be called the same as the Emperor.
But Huangfu Fanghui is not without a target, if Tao Kan can't hold on, the next one is him, although the scholar clan has lost a lot of money and grain, the foundation is still there, and the situation will go back to the old road of the Yuan Emperor Dynasty, or even worse.
Because the Ming Kingdom has risen, if the army goes south, I am afraid that the Manchu Dynasty will surrender to the enemy first, and the Great Jin Dynasty will become the second Sun Wu.
After tasting the taste of being abolished once, Sima Shao never wanted to experience it a second time, and now there were two choices in front of him, one of which was to sit back and watch the situation worsen, and finally he was powerless to struggle and surrender the city.
The second is to fight hard, take the acres of land and Dingkou of the Shi clan for his own use, and take advantage of Yang Yan's inability to look south, strengthen himself, even if he loses, he will die vigorously.
In particular, the 50,000 or 60,000 allied troops of the scholars are in Jiankang, and if they can be completely annihilated, they will deal a major blow to the scholars.
As soon as this idea comes out, it is like a poisonous snake biting the heart, after all, people have gambling nature, and when faced with a desperate situation, they will fight hard.
It's just Tao Kan "How will Tao Gong deal with himself" Sima Shao turned his head and asked, he had to figure out Tao Kan's position, because his strength was not as strong as Tao Kan, and the benefits he shared could not exceed Tao Kan.
In fact, Tao Kan has no way to retreat, he is in a high position, and his position of power is not to say that he can let go, even if he is sincere and brave to retreat, others may not think like this, only if he dies, there will be no threat.
What's more, Tao Kan's command is dominated by slang bureaucrats, and being upright also means that he is wild, seeing that the army is about to run out of food, let alone drive him to fight, and there is even a possibility of mutiny, which will eat his master.
Originally, Tao Kan was unwilling to attack and kill each other with the Jiangdong scholars, but the city was forced to run out of his family, and people were forced to a dead end, so they couldn't think about the future, so they could only solve the urgent need first, and the city was too hard to gnaw, and pinching soft persimmons became the only choice.
However, it was impossible for Huangfu Fang Hui to say this, but he said: "Jiangdong is a land of right and wrong, Tao Gong's foundation is shallow, and it is not appropriate to live for a long time. ” "Hmm" Sima Shao paced slowly, his mind racing rapidly, judging the truth of what Huangfu Fang Hui said.
Huangfu Fang Hui smiled bitterly and said: "The minister does not hide from Your Majesty, how can Tao Gong be virtuous, he has no illustrious background, and he does not have the talent of the Ming King, how dare he give birth to his thoughts, what he wants in his life is nothing more than a prominent lintel, squeezed into the high gate."
Earlier, Tao Gong sat in Panyu, sitting and watching the changes of Jiangdong Dongfeng Yun, but was mistaken by Tao Zhan, and had to come to Jiankang to take office. ” Xiangzhou is Tao Kan's hometown, the mountains stretch, many Miaoyi, go to Xiangzhou to become a domain, you can avoid Yang Yan's soldiers, when you can't resist, you can continue to the south, avoid the slang area.
Sima Shao understood, Tao Kan is old, he has lost his enterprising spirit, and he went to Xiangzhou to avoid trouble, even if Yang Yan unifies the world, for a while, his hand will not reach out to the mountainous area of Xiangzhou, and Tao Kan can sit and watch the current situation, even if he is attached, he can sell himself at a good price.
"When to do it" Sima Shao asked.
Huangfu Fang replied: "It's tonight." ” "Oh so urgent" Sima Shao was surprised, and asked again: "Will the Ming army interfere?"
Huangfu Fang replied: "Your Majesty's side, it is difficult to ensure that there are no secret manpower of each family, if the news of the minister's late night visit is returned, it is not difficult for people with a heart to speculate from it, even if they dare not take the lead, they will also strengthen their precautions, so they will send troops tonight, which can be safe, as for the city Yi Xingchen, he thinks that he will not interfere, after all, he got money and food, and we didn't provoke Concubine Pei, the minister really can't think of it, he has a reason to interfere, maybe he is willing to watch Jiangdong go down." ” Sima Shao's eyes flashed a touch of murderous intent, the existence of the Ming army, let him be like a thorn in the back, it is also an unspeakable shame, but he can only endure it, wait until he has enough strength, do not want to destroy Yang Yan, only hope to expel the Jiankang Ming army, and rule the Ming country by dividing the river.
"Okay, send troops tonight" Sima Shao nodded violently.
Huangfu Fang hurriedly returned, and Tao Kan arranged, although he was not worried that the city would cut off his back road, but still left some soldiers and horses to defend, when the time came, Sima Shao waved the whole army, Tao Kan also sent most of the soldiers, killed the Shi clan company camp.
This is really an unwarranted disaster, no one expected that in the middle of the night, it would be attacked by the royal family and Tao Kan, and for a while, the flames soared into the sky, screaming and screaming, and countless people and horses scattered and fled.
"Lord Lang, Lord Lang" Lu Ye was in the Lu Mansion, and suddenly a servant hurriedly rushed in and shouted: "The Lord and the Prime Minister suddenly waved their troops to our camp, the whole army was caught off guard, and it has already collapsed, please leave Jiankang quickly."
"What" Lu Ye was shocked, and then said angrily: "Huang Xu'er, Xi Gou, the old man and you will not stand together, go, go back to Wu County quickly" Anger is angry, Lu Ye is not ambiguous, once the chaotic soldiers come to the door, he can't leave if he wants to, and he doesn't expect Sima Shao to show mercy to his subordinates, the current situation is obvious, Tao Kan and Sima's family are short of food, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and he has no choice but to do anything about the city, so he can only attack the scholars.
At the foot of Zhoushan Mountain, shouting to kill the sky, the mansions of the scholars who are relatively close to each other have already been fighting, and the mansions are constantly driving people and horses out of the cars.
Langya Wang's family, with Zhuge clan, Yang clan, Cai clan and other good families, Canghuang fled to Qiaoli Langya County, Jiangdong scholars also fled to the base camp, in fact, Tao Kan and Sima Shao did not think about arranging troops in advance, and wiped out the scholars, but it was too rushed, and they were worried that too frequent troop transfers would make the scholars vigilant and startle the snakes, so they could only send troops to pursue after launching. 。
