Chapter 244

Moreover, the Shangguan family has their own cheap grandfather Shangguan Xiong in charge, which can save a lot of effort for their future layout.

There is a good saying, an old family is like a treasure.

The influence of Shangguanxiong, a cheap grandfather, is beyond my own, as long as my cheap grandfather, Shangguanxiong, is still there.

Then the contacts he has accumulated over the decades can be put to good use.

Whether the Shangguan family is in the court or in the local area, they will enjoy great convenience, which is very important for the development of the Shangguan family.

Therefore, Tie Ying and the others are not in a hurry, after all, he hasn't spent a long time with the iron guards.

In the future, he will have plenty of time to spend with them, and it will not be too late to slowly and subtly change them. He is confident that Tie Ying and others will truly be loyal to him.

Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Shangguan Qiuyu explained:

"Today, there are no less than one million Nanman elite soldiers gathered in the cities around us, if the cavalry battalion will follow me into the valley.

It would be like a bird in a cage. When the time comes, the retreat route will be blocked, and the [-] cavalry battalion will surely be wiped out here.

Now, Nanman is gathering troops, and based on this calculation, it is very likely that he will have a final decisive battle with his grandfather, or retreat completely. "

"Then the general will not go into the valley, and lead an army of [-] cavalry outside to support the major general, so as not to block the major general's retreat."

Hearing what Tie Yin said, Shangguan Qiuyu looked at Tie Ying and couldn't help frowning:

"Don't tell me, you don't understand what I mean, I guess the Tianyuan City army must have withdrawn from Tianyuan City.

If there is no such battalion of [-] cavalry to restrain them, it will inevitably make a group of Nanman soldiers in Tianyuan City join up with the Nanman soldiers in Lishan City.

At that time, the strength of the southern barbarians will increase greatly, and it will be extremely difficult to keep or eliminate them. "

As he said that, Shangguan Qiuyu's tone was a little hurried.

"When he came, the marshal ordered his subordinates to protect the major general when he returned home. If the major general had something to do, the last general would also be dealt with by military law.

This is the case, the major general might as well deal with the last general now, lest the marshal will blame him and the last general will not be able to bear the blame. "

Hearing what his own major general said, Tie Ying was no longer silent, and spoke out, expressing what was in his heart.

Just now he responded to Shangguan Qiuyu's order, it was just a stopgap measure, he wanted to wait for Shangguan Qiuyu to enter the valley before returning.

Although Shangguanxiong didn't give him any orders to die, he knew very well in his heart that the position of his major general in his marshal's mind cannot be allowed to take risks.

Hearing what Tie Yingtian said, Shangguan Qiuyu turned his head to Tie Yi who was on the side, and saw that he was also persistent.

This made Shangguan Qiuyu feel that there was nothing they could do. Judging from the arrangement and selection of the Nanman army division, even a hundred thousand cavalry battalion soldiers stayed outside to support them.

However, the surrounding terrain is not vast, and it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry fighting. If the cavalry battalion fights with it, the losses will inevitably be very huge.

How can the disabled iron cavalry battalion bring harm to the Nanman army in the next battle.

Naturally, my cheap grandfather can only lead the army and the Nanman army to pass the time. In the end, the two sides had to compromise. The best result can only be to watch the Nanman army withdraw from the barren state.

The Nanman military division deployed an elite army of one million. Its intention was to eliminate the large army of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, so that the Nanman army would not have any worries when it retreated.

Seeing the persistence of Tie Ying and the others, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help but feel powerless, and he could feel their kindness.

However, he didn't like their disobedience to his orders. This feeling was very bad, and it made him feel a little unhappy.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Elder Ying stood up and whispered to Shangguan Qiuyu:
"Major General, when we came here, the marshal once ordered that the safety of the Major General be the first priority, and everything else is secondary."

Hearing what Yinglao said, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help being moved.

In addition, Shangguan Qiuyu also figured it out. I am afraid that his cheap grandfather does not want to wipe out all the Nanman army in the barren state.

His own fief is located in southern Xinjiang, if there is no threat from the Nanman, then his own fief will not be so prominent and important.

The reason why the imperial court sealed the land of the Shangguan family in Qizhou is because Qizhou, together with the Central Plains, is the main road of communication between the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang is located in the frontier, too far away from the Central Plains, too far from the imperial court, and it is difficult for the majesty of the imperial court to radiate to southern Xinjiang in an all-round way.

Local officials and military generals have great power.

As the saying goes, county magistrates are not as good as current officials, and the frontiers are far away from the imperial court of the Central Plains. It is difficult to reflect the power of the central government in the frontiers.

In the borderlands, the power of the local government and the generals in the borderlands is very strong. In some places, the common people only know the officials above them but not the court.

For this reason, Dayu's court set up four border towns in the frontier to deter foreigners as well as officials in the frontier.

When the four major border towns were established, they were fine at the beginning, but they frightened many foreigners and local officials in the border areas.

However, with the passage of time, the four princes who are in charge of the military power of the four border towns, because they hold heavy troops and are far away from the central government, their private power has continued to grow stronger.

Gradually, like the local officials in the frontier, because of the power in their hands and the support of soldiers outside, they began to listen to the announcement and not listen to it.

In the end, it evolved into an almost hereditary existence. The power and military power of the Shenhou Mansion were inherited from generation to generation by the descendants of the four great lords.

As a sign of this, it was not until a rebellion 300 years ago, when the princes of the four border towns rebelled and were suppressed by the court, that the rights of the Shenhou Mansion in the four border towns were restricted.

Since then, the imperial court has even set up dragon guards in the four frontiers to suppress the forces of the Shenhou Mansion in the four frontier towns.

This time, if they can completely eliminate the Nanman army at their own expense, then the power of the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang will be weakened, and the threat of foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang to Dayu will be less.

The southern border is naturally peaceful, but the peace in the southern border, the ultimate benefit is the imperial court, the royal family, not the government of the town.

Now that the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang can no longer make trouble, the imperial court will reduce its support for their own family, because the imperial court sealed their own land in southern Xinjiang.

It is to use the influence of the Shangguan family to deter all the forces in southern Xinjiang. If the foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang are strong, then the Nanshenhou Mansion can justifiably recruit troops and buy horses to expand its power.

Now that the power of foreign tribes and important frontier towns has become stronger, there is also an excuse for the family to expand its power.

Moreover, while expanding its power, not only will it not be suspected by the court, but it will also receive strong support.

Therefore, the Nanman cannot be destroyed for the time being, because only the Nanman exists, and the threat of the Nanman to the land of southern border will not disappear.

Only by oneself can we continue to expand our power in the southern border, so as not to be restricted by the imperial court.
