Chapter 2921: Yinzhen, who wanted to be the oriole, Zhuge Liang''s plan of disagreement
Chapter 2918: Yinzhen, who wanted to be the oriole, Zhuge Liang''s plan to disagree
With anxiety and anxiety, Yinzhen still opened the letter, but unexpectedly the content on the letter made him unable to calm down for a long time after reading it.
If it were Emperor Yongzheng in history, he would obviously not have these unnecessary emotions. After all, Yongzheng was famous for being thick and dark, and his emotions were not reflected in his expression.
But this Yinzhen was not Emperor Yongzheng in official history, but Yinzhen in the Hong Kong drama "The Supreme of Nine Five".
As the director of Hong Kong dramas, everyone knows what they know. They like to mix private goods and give historical figures some strange attributes that do not belong to him. For example, Xiao Qiao, who went to Cao''s camp alone in "Red Cliff", praised her cuteness.
As the male protagonist in "The Supreme Nine Five", Yinzhen naturally could not escape this fate and was given too much kindness that did not belong to him. Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng, who was originally wise, martial, and resolute, became Yinzhen, who is now worried about gains and losses and indecisive.
Of course, even if Yinzhen became kind, he would eventually become Emperor Yongzheng, but he was not so cold-blooded and thick-black.
After coming to this era, Yinzhen also witnessed the tragedy and darkness, and personally participated in the coup, which had already wiped out a lot of hypocrisy in his heart.
From the beginning of being powerless and powerless to the peak of power, Yinzhen''s inner desire for power and ambitions were stimulated. While growing up, he also began to quickly move closer to Emperor Yongzheng in the official history.
In addition, his experience of traveling through modern times has given him insight that is far beyond the times. Therefore, Yinzhen is actually stronger than Yongzheng in the original history in terms of ability and knowledge. He is only influenced by his kindness, so he has not exerted all his strength.
Wang Mang did not directly mention the matter of joining forces with him in his heart, but instead expressed a concept throughout the article: Are you, who once was the master of the magical artifact of the country, really willing to be a foil subject?
Is Yinzhen willing? Of course he is unwilling to give up, but what can he do if he is unwilling to give up?
Even Dorgon, who was in power, could not surpass Huang Taiji and become emperor, let alone him, who was not Nurhaci''s son?
Unless he is willing to leave the Manchus alone to establish a foundation.
Yinzhen is not without this ability, but he doesn''t want to.
Just like Ying Hao and Wang Mang both loved the Han people deeply and could not abandon their Han people''s identity, Yinzhen also loved his nation deeply. He recognized his identity in his bones, so how could he abandon his son Manchus to start a business alone?
However, Wang Mang''s words also aroused Yinzhen''s inner ambitions. After all, everyone is a time traveler. How could he watch Ying Hao, Wang Mang and others lead the way, but he can only be the best?
The process of fighting for the throne by the nine sons was so thrilling and difficult, and I didn’t give up. But now I still have a chance, how could I give up?
I have to say that Wang Mang is a powerful fact of bewitching people. He also knew that people like Yinzhen would not change their ideas easily, so he indirectly stimulated Yinzhen''s ambitions, and he did.
Although Yinzhen is still afraid of the Qin Dynasty and still wants to immigrate to the West and guide the West, he doesn''t want to leave just like that. He wants to fight. If he still loses, it will be too late to escape to the West.
Anyway, he doesn''t feel that he is far behind the Western world in the East, and someone can stop the advanced army from the East led by him.
Of course, whether it is competing with Ying Hao or conquering the West, Yinzhen needs to reach the peak of power and become the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
With Yinzhen''s current status, there is naturally no possibility of becoming an emperor, but when he gains a position of less than one person, he will not be completely gone. If he can get help from Wang Mang, the possibility will increase a lot.
As for whether Wang Mang is hiding evil intentions, would his cooperation with Wang Mang be a scam against the tiger?
Yinzhen was not too worried. First, he really had nothing worth Wang Mang''s calculations now, and even if there was, he would have to wait until he successfully seized power and took office.
As for this second point, as Wang Mang said in his letter, Ying Hao is the largest mountain hanging above their heads. Only when they join forces can they move this mountain away, and before that they can all trust each other.
"Wang Mang, Wang Mang, you are truly the founder of time travelers. If you don''t take action, you will be able to refuse it as soon as you take action."
Yinzhen showed a bitter smile on his face, and then began to write a reply in person. After all, Wang Mang had shown sincerity, and he also had to show that he was qualified to cooperate with him.
Just like Dorgon didn''t know that the fortress had collapsed from the inside, Huang Taiji didn''t know that he hadn''t seized power yet, and Yinzhen, the loyal minister he valued the most, was already preparing to undermine him.
The most important thing for Yinzhen to take power was to take power completely, and then he could imitate Sima Yi and use external wars to divert conflicts, thereby installing his own people bit by bit, and ultimately achieving the goal of usurping the throne.
No, this is not usurping the throne. After all, he was originally the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and was also a member of the Aisin Gioro family in this life, so this should be called regaining what should belong to him.
The current situation in the Qing Dynasty was described as the mantis stalking the cicada oriole later, which was more appropriate.
Dorgon is a cicada, Huang Taiji is a mantis, and Yinzhen wants to be the yellow bird behind. He not only wants to use Huang Taiji, but also Wang Mang, but before this, he must join forces with Dorgon and Huang Taiji to solve the big problem of Aguda first.
Due to Wang Mang''s intervention, the already complicated civil war in the Qing Dynasty became increasingly strange.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Qin army''s previous march strategy was to advance together from multiple channels, but I didn''t expect that the resistance of the Three Kingdoms Alliance would be so strong, especially Cao Wei on the western battlefield.
Even though he faced the four Qin troops alone and was at an absolute disadvantage under three sieges, Cao Wei''s resistance was actually the strongest among the Three Kingdoms. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he was only a small defeat rather than a big defeat. He still resisted the fiercest attack of the Qin army in general.
But as Bai Qi took down Baima City and was about to march into Puyang City, the balance between Qin and Wei began to be broken.
Just at this moment, the Battle of the East China Sea broke out. Although the Qin army won, the naval army was also severely damaged and could not pose a threat to the Qingxu coastline.
It is precisely these two things that have changed the Qin army''s Central Plains strategy.
After all, without the threat of the Qin naval army led by Zhou Yu, this not only allowed Zhu Di to invest more troops on the Qingnan battlefield, but also made Su Lie and Zhuge Liang''s eastern armies have no advantage when facing the Ming and Song coalition forces on the defensive.
This advantage refers not only to military strength, but also to generals. After all, at that time: Xu Shiji, Xu Da, Niu Mowang, Xia Luqi and other generals who were the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty were all in Qingnan.
Except for Jiang Song and Jintai, other generals in the Qin army were not much better than the Song couplet in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, after some discussion within the Qin Dynasty, it decided to change its previous multi-way strategy, and to attack the west and join the east, concentrate its efforts to defeat the most difficult Cao Wei, and then eliminate the vitality of the Ming and Song dynasties.
Zhuge Liang and Su Lie, who were attacking Qingnan, tacitly chose to suspend the situation and then stayed there after receiving the domestic order. After all, after losing Zhou Yu''s naval army support, they all felt clearly struggling.
Continuing to march is not impossible, but it will undoubtedly evolve into a war of attrition, and there will be heavy casualties, and it will definitely not work.
Therefore, it is also a good idea to temporarily suspend the offensive and accumulate strength while retention.
Seeing that the two Qin troops coming from the north were suspended from the attack, Zhu Di was naturally overjoyed. He didn''t know that the Qin army had changed its strategy, and he thought that the Qin naval army was severely damaged after the Battle of the East China Sea. Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang did not dare to fight with the Ming army with inferior forces.
After the Battle of the East China Sea, Qin Ming and the two sides in Qingnan entered a stalemate, but as long as the Qin army did not attack, it was a concession in Zhu Di''s eyes, so he would naturally be more and more aggressive, but he did not want to receive Cao Cao''s request for help at this time.
At this time, the battlefield in Yanxi: In the north, Baima City was lost, and Bai Qi was about to launch a large-scale attack on Puyang;
In the middle road, two of the three major defense lines in the west were broken, and Zhang Liao advanced to the military officer;
On the south road, half of Yingchuan fell, Yangdi, Yingyang, Kunyang and other strong cities were lost, and Ying Hao was about to encircle Xuchang.
Faced with this situation, Cao Cao really couldn''t stand it, and had no choice but to ask for help from the two allies of Ming and Song.
After receiving the news, Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin were dissatisfied with Cao Cao''s successive defeats, they eventually sent reinforcements tacitly. After all, if there was no external support, Cao Cao might really be unable to withstand it, and he would still suffer at that time.
Zhu Di considered that the Qin army had many powerful generals in Yanzhou, Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals were there. On the other hand, Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang stopped the attack on the Eastern Front, and the navy would not pose a threat in the short term, so he not only sent reinforcements, but also sent Niu Mowang, the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty.
Both Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di tried their best to support Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could stabilize the Western Front. It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao had lost nearly 100,000 troops and was about to be unable to withstand it, and he forced the Qin army to hold on for more than a month.
Zhu Di was not a passive person. After the reinforcements were sent out, he summoned all his advisers to discuss, hoping to solve the threat from Qingnan by gradually weakening. However, Zhuge Liang had expected this and made Zhu Di dirty with just one trick of disagreement.
Zhuge Liang had long guessed that even if the Qin army did not attack, Zhu Di would not be honest in a strategic confrontation with his side. He would definitely try his best to expand the results and constantly cause trouble for the Qin army, so he prepared early.
Zhuge Liang first deliberately gave up some county towns except the city and transferred all the materials in the city. On the surface, this was to concentrate troops, but in fact it was to make Qi generals and Zhu Di disunited.
After all, even if these cities return to the Ming army, they will be like a waste of money. It is a pity to abandon them because they have no value of division of troops to garrison. If they are recovered, they will disperse the Ming army''s forces.
At least until the war is over, Zhu Di will not waste resources and use them on these worthless cities.
But for those generals in the ranks, these cities are their interests, and the Ming army is clearly capable of regaining lost land, but they are indifferent just because they don’t want to waste resources and ignore their interests. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction in some people.
In addition, Zhuge Liang also formulated a key target to attack the former Qi army before the war. By weakening Qi, he put the uneven distribution of interests in Mingqi on the surface, thus achieving the plan to clarify domestic conflicts.
Although this plan died due to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the 100,000 Song troops aided the Ming Dynasty, it actually worked miraculously when the Qingnan battlefield entered the stalemate stage.
Under the targeted attack of the Qin army, the Qi army in Ming Dynasty suffered serious losses, but one cannot be supplemented from Zhu Di. Two, it can clearly make up for the losses by regaining lost territory, but it was also stopped by Zhu Di on the grounds that it could not use military strength. Three, it was worried that even if the lost territory was recovered in the future, these territories would not return to their own hands.
Based on the above three points, coupled with Zhuge Liang''s intentional provocation and dissemination of rumors that Zhu Tianpeng was killed by Zhu Di, so that the Qi generals in the Ming army gradually increased their dissatisfaction with Zhu Di.
