There are a total of 54 episodes of "Langya Bang".
In the whole play, there are many touching lines, but none of them can be as heart-wrenching as "70,000 Red Flame Army unjustly lost Meiling".
A few days ago, Xiao Xi had analyzed this sentence in depth.
There were three major grievances among the 70,000 Red Flame Army: first, they were killed by friendly forces despite their expected support, second, they were labeled as "rebels and thieves", and third, family members risked their lives to drive out the enemy army, but in the end, they failed.
Being killed by friendly forces and being labeled as notorious will not be discussed in detail here, and we will focus only on the incident of being robbed.
The 70,000 Red Flame Army fought fiercely against the enemy and successfully maintained the peace and stability of the Great Liang for thirteen years, but not only did they not receive the commendation of the emperor of Jinling City, but instead suffered an unexplained death and lost all their exploits.
This is undoubtedly one of the biggest and heaviest lies in the drama.
The person who lied was none other than Xie Yu.
Among them, ** includes Xia Jiang and Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang.
However, Xie Yu led an army of 100,000 to Meiling, and although he did not defeat a single enemy army, his sword was stained with the blood of the Red Flame Army, which was a huge lie, why was it not revealed?
Xie Yu relied on this unfounded contribution to successfully rise to prominence, and was eventually promoted to a first-class military marquis
For this reason, it is actually not so difficult to think about.
Some of the plot details in the play give us plenty of room for reasoning.
However, this matter needs to be considered from both the internal and external perspectives of the girders.
First of all, we will discuss external factors, especially the Dayu region in the north
Why didn't Da Yu mention who was fighting them?
Why didn't Xie Yu worry that there would be news about this battle in the Dayu area?
First of all, the game that Dayu lost was not so glorious.
Thirteen years earlier, the Dayu army had invaded the borders of Daliang and had a brief clash with the Red Flame Army, which was guarding the north.
Although the Red Flame Army was the most powerful team in the Great Liang region, its number was only 70,000.
However, what came from Dayu was actually their ace royal army, numbering as much as 200,000.
It was clear that the Dayu army was full of confidence and determination to conquer the northern border of Daliang, and the strongest warbands of the two countries engaged in a fierce battle at Meiling.
It is an indisputable fact that the strength of the Red Flame Army is obviously insufficient.
With the numbers of 70,000 vs 200,000, the imagination alone is shocking, and it is too difficult for one person to defeat three people on averageIf so, then, will our troops be able to hold out until today?How much of a blow did this give to the morale of the army?
If you want to win, it is usually safer to outwit than to directly use force.
Therefore, the Red Flame Army chose the strategy of using linoleum fire attack.
After a bloody battle, the Red Flame Army successfully defeated the imperial army and ensured the peace and stability of the Great Liang for thirteen years.
Judging from what we have observed, the merits of the Red Flame Army have been taken away from them, their establishment has been abolished, and the remaining Red Flame Army soldiers have all died in Meiling, and their souls are difficult to return.
So, what about Dayu standing outside our field of vision?
In the imperial army, what will happen after the defeated soldiers retreat to Dayu?
Regardless of the decisions made by the rulers and courtiers in Dayu, the royal army marched out with great momentum, but in the end it won more with less and was defeated and defeated.
For the remaining remnants of the royal army, this is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching blow.
In the face of the people's suspicious gaze and the strict scrutiny of the Dayu court, they had little other time and energy to care about the internal affairs of the Great Liang
Secondly, Dayu is busy recuperating and recovering, waiting for the right time to act.
After the fierce battle at Meiling, Dayu suffered a huge blow, and the situation in Daliang was not optimistic.
The former faced defeat in the war, and there was an urgent need to rebuild the morale of the army and rebuild the royal army.
The framing of Xie Yuxiajiang and others led to conflicts within the imperial family, the contradictions between the brothers intensified, and the establishment of the Red Flame Army was abolished, and now there is an urgent need to stabilize the internal situation of the country and calm the mood of the people.
To put it simply, at this moment, Dayu and Daliang are busy resting and recovering, and have no time to communicate with each other.
In the initial stage of "Langya Bang", Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui met the messenger of Dayu who came on horseback on Langzhou Street, and they also mentioned this situation.
Yan Yujin asked: "Jing Rui, is the silver dragon king flag on a black background the battle flag of the Dayu royal family?"”
Xiao Jingrui said: "Twelve years ago, after the battle between Daliang and Dayu at Meiling, the interaction between the two countries became very small, and at that time they sent envoys, what were they going to do?”
Looking back, we can understand that the purpose of their trip was to recruit relatives for the Nihuang County Lord.
Undoubtedly, this is the obvious reason.
Combined with the following content, Xiaoxi is more inclined to believe that Da Yu's appearance this time is not for the county lord, but for the big beam.
Who is the Nihuang County Lord?
He was the commander of a hundred thousand southern armies.
Although her younger brother has inherited the title of King with a different surname, he has not yet become the helmsman of the Southern Army, and the achievements and reputation of the Nihuang County Lord over the past ten years are still there.
Marrying her is almost the same as winning the morale of a hundred thousand troops in the south.
Her martial arts competition and recruitment activities were originally supposed to be Daliang's internal affairs.
Although the Great Liang did not prevent the countries from sending personnel to participate in the tournament, it was known that the lord of the Nihuang County could only marry the residents of the Great Liang and not other neighboring countries.
So why do they still choose such a journey?
Obviously, this is for the relationship between the lord of Nihuang and Emperor Liang.
He also secretly observed the dynamics inside and outside the Liang court, waiting for the right time to take action.
When the Nihuang County Lord was engaged in a contest to recruit relatives, the battle between the prince and the king became more intense.
The county lord of Nihuang County suffered a misfortune, which led to the decline of the status of the Yue Guifei.
Although Emperor Liang chose to remain silent, the envoys of various countries remained within the Great Liang, so they naturally established a network of contacts to find out the truth of the matter.
On the one hand, they went deep into the interior of Daliang to collect newspapers, and on the other hand, they rebuilt the royal army, which was also the decisive factor for Dayu to suddenly gather 100,000 soldiers in the future, cross the border to carry out surprise attacks, and successfully occupy Gunzhou.
The surprise attack of the Great Chongqing was not without reason, and they had a deep understanding of the plight of the Great Liang, which is why they chose to join forces with other smaller countries to try to divide the Great Liang during the period when the Great Liang was most vulnerable.
Third, Dayu not only needs to protect itself, but is more inclined to see the enemy hurt himself.
Dayu has always been a country based on military and military force, and the royal army is the core force to ensure the stability of the Dayu region.
There must be no mistakes in this kind of power.
Every little detail inside it is considered confidential and should not be widely disseminated.
In the battle with the Red Flame Army, the Red Flame Army has been completely wiped out. The army of the Western Frontier led by Xie Yu is a party with interests, and they will not blindly blow themselves up and steal merit. Therefore, as the other party in the know, they are also unlikely to initiate the mention of these things.
The imperial army was not only the foundation of the strength of the Dayu region, but also constituted their weakness.
Regarding the internal situation of the Dayu court thirteen years ago, it is not explicitly mentioned in the play. Although the description of Dayu is very brief, we can clearly see the predicament that Dayu faced after its defeat.
Although it is an indisputable fact that the invasion of the northern border of Daliang and the defeat are indisputable, if this fact is revealed, it is equivalent to announcing to the world that the most powerful royal army on which Dayu, a country based on military and military force, has come to an end.
If this fact is revealed, then it would be strange that Dayu will not be torn apart by nearby countries.
Therefore, even for the sake of protecting himself, Dayu cannot express his opinion.
As an enemy of the Great Liang, due to the incident of the Red Flame Army, its internal situation became tense and it was unable to effectively handle the relationship with Dayu. If they don't open up about their weaknesses, then they should laugh at themselves instead of asking questions
In addition to self-preservation, there is a very crucial factor.
As mentioned earlier, what is the relationship between the Red Flame Army and the Western Frontier Army led by Xie Yudai, whether the Red Flame Army has been wronged, and what is the connection with Dayu?
From the point of view, Dayu and Daliang are hostile, while they are incompatible with the Red Flame Army.
The Red Flame Army caused a major ** to the strongest team in Dayu, losing face and substance, and someone punished the Red Flame Army, standing in Dayu's perspective, they could even wake up laughing in their dreams.
Considering the actual situation of the country, everything that happened between the Red Flame Army, the Lin family, King Qi, and Emperor Liang was an internal affair of the Great Liang.
On the one hand, they are unmanageable, difficult to manage, neither fit to manage, nor manageable;
From another point of view, the demise of the Red Flame Army, King Qi and the Lin family not only did not benefit Da Liang in any way, but could instead exacerbate Da Liang's internal strife. When the traitorous ministers within the Great Liang were in power, the rivalry between them would only gradually erode the territory of the Xiao clan.
Initially, King Qi and the Red Flame Army had the ability to increase the strength of the Great Liang, but the occurrence of this incident would change the political landscape of the entire country and hinder the strong expansion of the Great Liang. If they can reveal the truth, what good will it do them?
In order for the reputation of the Red Flame Army and King of Qi Lin Xie to be restored, the truth of the matter was revealed, but what was the purpose?
The more intense the power struggle within the Daliang region, the more difficult it will be for the intelligence network in Dayu to obtain information. For what happened between the Red Flame Army and the Imperial Power, they could only applaud warmly when they saw it.
If the Great Liang loses the Red Flame Army, a group of courtiers loyal to the monarch and the country, and instead there are more traitors and moths, this will only speed up the process of dividing the Great Liang, how can it be possible to kindly remind the emperor of the Great Liang: You have been deceived?This is the Red Flame Army in history. The Red Flame Army is actually innocent?
Seeking justice for the Red Flame Army is entirely the responsibility of their internal members, and it has nothing to do with them
When it comes to the internal structure, it is within the Great Liang Imperial Court.
The grievances suffered by the Red Flame Army, as Meng Zhi once said: This is a huge mistake, how should Your Majesty look at it?
Indeed, this is a huge mistake.
For those who have a vested interest, not only will they not admit their mistakes, but they will also resort to various means to prevent others from speaking out because of this mistake.
This huge lie woven by Xie Yusa, although not particularly clever, was able to hide it for so many years without Emperor Liang's knowledge. The real key person was Emperor Liang himself, who did not give King Qi and Lin Xie any chance of survival from the beginning.
As a result, both Xie Yu and Xia Jiang were given complete leeway.
How did the Great Liang court hide this untruth?
First of all, those who dared to speak out have either died or left.
The grievances suffered by the Red Flame Army were based on the relationship between the Lin family and the Qi Palace.
The Lin family and King Qi formed the basis for the demise of the Red Flame Army, which was loyal to the monarch and loved the country, but Xiao Xuan's trust in Lin Xie and King Qi had evaporated, and he became more cautious.
In his opinion, the surname of the Red Flame Army is already Lin, not Xiao.
Therefore, not only the coach King Qi could not be retained, but the Red Flame Army could not be left either, and he could not admit this mistake.
When Xia Jiang submitted the alleged evidence to Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang did not conduct further evidence collection and investigation, nor did he summon Lin Xie back to defend himself, but directly established his guilt.
There will always be people who declare that the sin of Red Flame will happen in the future.
Not only because of the strong strength of the Red Flame Army, Lin Xie and King Qi were not satisfied with the world ruled by Emperor Liang, they both had their own ideals and pursuits.
Such a pursuit was in conflict with Emperor Liang's expectations for the world.
Lin Xie had the opportunity to stand on Xiao Xuan's side and help him seize the throne so that he could ascend to the throne. Xiao Xuan was naturally afraid that if Lin Xie couldn't give him the world he wanted because of Xiao Xuan, he would be pulled off the horse.
Xiao Xuan was dissatisfied with King Qi, jealous of Lin Xie, and afraid of them and the Red Flame Army behind them, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu saw this, so they handed over this sharp knife to Xiao Xuan.
Whether the case is real or fictional, in Xiao Xuan's description, it must be unmistakable.
He resolutely decided to use this case to eliminate the members of the Qi Wang Party, so he even skipped the Third Division and directly trusted Xia Jiang's "investigation" and Nie Feng's "distress letter".
The Hanging Mirror Division received a letter containing some forged evidence, which made it impossible for the three divisions to touch it, and they directly convicted him without even recalling Lin Xie for investigation.
This scene is similar to the case of Wei Zheng's robbery.
Xiao Xuan was deceived by Xia Dong's so-called "protection" and some baseless illusions, and Xia Jiang, who was once convinced, was immediately arrested and thrown into prison, without even having a chance to defend himself.
In the incident of the Red Flame Rebellion, Xiao Xuan showed his ruthlessness.
To what extent?
The misfortune of the Red Flame Army at Meiling was only the beginning, and the civil and military officials of Jinling City were its follow-up.
I don't know if you can still recall how Shen Chai shared the past with King Jing?
"Thirteen years ago, when I first started my career in public service, I still vividly remember the circumstances of the King Qi case......Although these cases are all reverse cases, they are very different from the situation of Yuwang. At that time, the capital was already full of blood, and King Qi enjoyed a high reputation. At the time of the case, almost the entire civil and military officials of the imperial court were interceding and vouching for him, but the situation became worse and worse, several people were killed in succession, and several prefectures were brutally killed. Coach Lin Xie's wife, the eldest princess of Jinyang, committed suicide in the Chaoyang Palace. The mother of the once favored King Qi, Concubine Chen's mother, Lin Leyao, was wrapped in a white silk horse and carried away when she died. Since then, for so many years, few people have dared to mention King Qi lightly. ”
King Qi and Lin Xie's followers lost their lives again and again, and some even entire families were wiped out.
Some of the rest, such as Mr. Li Chong, left the capital and never returned
For example, in the Mu Wangfu, which had some connection with the Lin family, the old prince left early, leaving only the Nihuang County Lord and her younger brother to guard the southern border, but despite this, they were still under suspicion;
For example, despite his illustrious achievements, King Jing was not given the attention he deserved. At the age of 31, he was still a neglected county king, and Concubine Jing was still the second concubine for decades in the palace, and the two mothers and sons felt like transparent people in the royal family.
For example, Yan Que, who was famous in the capital, devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation and no longer got involved in government affairs, which led to a gradual decline in the reputation of the Yan family.
Secondly, because the way of speech was blocked, people who knew the inside story were silenced.
What would happen to the rest of the group if the men of Lin Xie, the king of Qi, were killed while defending them, or if they chose to stealth and leave?
Considering that the great exploits of the Red Flame Army were plundered, among the 100,000 troops in the Western Realm, not a single truly righteous person stood up to defend them and expose the truth of the facts
There are certainly many people who have doubts about this.
In the face of such a momentous incident, it is an indisputable fact that 100,000 friendly troops decided to take action against the Red Flame Army.
How did Xie Yu and Xia Jiang successfully stop it?
It's not that complicated.
The first thing to be clear is that the 100,000-strong army in the West may not know the truth of the matter.
Just like the mutiny incident in Jiu'an Mountain, there was an entanglement of interests between Xu Anmo and King Yu, and they jointly planned a military operation against Jiu'an Mountain, but only King Yu and a few generals in the Qingli Army really understood the truth behind this.
Under the various threats and ** of Yuwang and Xu Anmo, they finally made a decision.
So, in the same context, what about the 100,000 Western Frontier army back then?What the hell is going to happen here?So what's going on?
Xie Yu went with the emperor's will.
Perhaps, when they set off, the soldiers mistakenly thought that they were going to support Meiling, but how did Xie Yu explain to the generals of the Western Frontier Army throughout the journey?
Those officers, how would they talk to the soldiers under their command?
Will they make it clear to the 100,000 people that their real intention in this trip is to destroy the Red Flame Army and gain their contribution?
No way. At most, these 100,000 people only knew that they were here to assist the Red Flame Army against the Great Yu Imperial Army.
In some contexts, "obey orders" is not an appropriate expression.
There are times when this can be interpreted as loyalty, but in many cases, it does not represent the true self.
When the generals of the Western Army shouted: "The Red Flame Army is treasonous, kill." They don't have enough time to think about whether they should do it, they don't have time to think about whether they should do it, but they act on the facts.
Looking back, it seems to have been settled.
Officers are both people with vested interests and those who accompany them, and they have no reason to disclose their identities.
Although the little soldier wanted to say something, he still wanted to sue with a hint of enthusiasm:
First, they lack hard evidence and are likely to be ignorant of the truth.
Just like the Red Flame soldiers, they didn't understand what was going on until the last moment of their lives, and so did their situation;
Secondly, what they said did not reach the ears of the emperor.
Regarding the situation of the Red Flame Army, it was Xia Jiang who came to a conclusion after "investigation".
At that time, Xia Jiang had the complete trust of Emperor Liang, and all the next affairs were led by the Hanging Mirror Division, how could they let the voices and signals of doubts enter Emperor Liang's hearing range?
The deceased are often more capable of keeping their mouths shut than the living.
Even if they are not ordinary soldiers, their information is not strictly confidential to those officers.
Therefore, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu would never provide any opportunity for them to divulge anything to the outside world.
For example, after learning that Xie Yu was in prison, Xia Dong decided to look for the relevant people in the past to investigate, but found that those people had been eliminated by Xia Jiang in advance.
Emperor Liang lived inside the palace, and the Hanging Mirror Division was not only a sharp blade for him to show to the outside world, but also his main way of obtaining information from the outside world.
However, the Hanging Mirror Division deliberately took action in this matter, which led to the obscuration of Emperor Liang's information channels and the loss of true information**, so this lie became "fact".
The last part of the article.
Indeed, the lie Xie Yu said was not very ingenious.
However, this untruthfulness he sowed cleverly used timing, place, and relationships.
Emperor Liang's reverence for the Red Flame Army, his deep trust in the Hanging Mirror Division, and his desire for Xie Yu's ascension to the throne and his envy for King Lin Xieqi made all this seem reasonable.
Da Yu remained silent, the army in the west didn't know how to speak, although Emperor Liang had some suspicions, he would not reveal that Xia Jiang and the others were masterminds and would definitely not let others express their opinions.
Such a lie does not need to be covered up by other lies, so it has become a common belief in people all over the world.
Even King Jing, he never had doubts about this.
Therefore, only when Wei Zheng stood in front of King Jing would King Jing say those words.
King Jing said: "Under such circumstances, how can Meiling have such a situation?"The Red Flame Army led by Lin Shuai, as the most powerful clan in the Great Liang Kingdom, how could it have such combat effectiveness with only the 100,000 soldiers transferred from the West by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang?”
Wei Zheng said: "Could it be that His Highness also mistakenly thinks that we have started such a fierce battle with Xie Yu?"Considering Lin Shuai's personality, we will not sit still. However, by the time Xie Yu's butcher's knife was raised, we had just experienced a fierce battle and were exhausted. ”
King Jing said: "Is it really a vicious battle?"Could it be that Xie Yu reported that he repelled the 200,000 troops of Dayu and ensured that the defense line in the north would not be destroyed, was this really your credit?”
Wei Zheng expressed this opinion: "If it weren't for the fact that our Red Flame Army went all out to wipe out their proudest imperial army, how could the northern region of Daliang achieve peace for the past thirteen years?"”
Even King Jing, who was closest to the Red Flame Army and knew everything about the Red Flame Army's combat effectiveness, was convinced of this lie, let alone others
