Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because of the urgent situation, Xie An immediately sent for the Eight Sages Li Xian and the Minister of Civil Affairs Ji Hong. When they learned that the imperial court was forced to move the capital from Jijing to Chaoge, they were shocked.

    "What? The imperial court moved the capital? - When did it happen?"

    Taking the Chinese book from Xie An¡¯s hand and looking at it carefully, Li Xian asked with shock on his face.

    Xie An took a deep breath and said seriously, "Two months ago, in March or April"

    "Is spring coming?" Ji Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, took a breath and murmured, "Sure enough, Northern Xinjiang held back its troops in Ladong last year. It turned out that they were secretly accumulating strength and preparing to launch an attack only in the spring of this year Your Highness, right now Ji Hong  How is the situation in Beijing?"

    Li Xian, who was looking at the credentials carefully, shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "More than 80% of the officials of the imperial court have all moved to the ancient capital Chaoge. Mr. Yin Gong, the mentor of Xiao Wang, came out again and temporarily took over the government"

    "Master Yin Gong?" Ji Hong was slightly surprised when he heard this. After all, Yin Gong was an old man who had been the prime minister for thirty years. He had a prestige that few others in the court could match. But the problem was that Yin Gong was already very powerful now, so where could he still be?  Have enough energy and physical strength to cope with government affairs.

    Seemingly guessing Ji Hong's worries, Li Xian said calmly, "Xiao Wang knows what you are worried about. Mr. Ji, my mentor is already very old, so the court will not be unaware of it. Don't worry, although my mentor personally presides over government affairs, he does not control the government affairs."  But there are Ruan Shaozhou, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Danwang, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. With the talents of these two national scholars, it is not too hard to be a mentor"

    "That's okay!" Ji Hong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise, "Wait a minute, why is Mr. Yin Gong presiding over the court in Chaoge? Where is Your Majesty? Where is Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty not here?  Chaoge?"

    Hearing this, a strange look appeared on Li Xian's face, and he murmured, "Ah, His Majesty is still in Jingjing personally in charge of the Beijing army, and personally marching and guarding the country!"

    His expression was roughly the same as when Xie An saw the credential before. After all, in their memories, although the Emperor Li Shou of the Great Zhou Dynasty could be called a benevolent and wise emperor, his character was a bit cowardly and he had no personality at all.  Inheriting the heroic military strategy of the late emperor Li Ji, it is difficult to imagine that the gentle emperor would personally lead his army to defend Jijing and compete with the troops in northern Xinjiang.

    "How could this happen?" Ji Hong sighed worriedly and murmured, "I really didn't expect that the situation in Jijing would be so corrupt We have never received relevant news!"

    Hearing this, Li Xian and Xie An looked at each other and fell silent.

    Yes, as Ji Hong said, since the war in Jiangnan started, the imperial court has never leaked any news about the war in the north to Jiangnan, so that Li Xian and Xie An naively thought that the war between the imperial court and northern Xinjiang must be  It was smooth sailing, but I never expected that the war in the north would be so dangerous.

    "This happened two months ago. In other words, the imperial court did not want my southern expedition army to be affected, so it ordered the messenger to wait until Jiangnan was pacified before sending this letter of credence to us.  Leave it to me to wait"

    "I'm afraid that's the case!" Looking at each other, Li Xian and Ji Hong sighed secretly.

    In an instant, the whole room suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke anymore. This made Liu Qing, who had been listening, feel more and more anxious. She couldn't help but break the deadlock and said, "What? What is going on? Isn't Ji Jing  Is Sister Xiaowu in charge?"

    "" Xie An, who was drinking tea silently, shook the tea bowl in his hand slightly and remained silent.

    "Tell me, what's going on? Where's Sister Xiao Wu?" Seeing Xie An silent, Liu Qing became even more anxious. You know, she really regarded Liang Qiu Wu as her sister. Now that she saw Liang Qiu Wu  It was unclear how she could hold herself together.

    "Commander Liu, Military Master Liu" Liao Li hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Liu Qing and advised in a low voice, "Commander Liu, please be patient. General Liangqiu's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, so he must not be in any danger"

    "But right now, you think Hebei Kyoto is in danger, don't you? Sister Xiaowu is very loyal to your Zhou Dynasty court, and she will never sit back and watch the crisis in the capital, unless" At this point, Liu Qing's expression suddenly changed.

    And at this moment, a crisp sound of "pop" was heard in the room. Everyone looked subconsciously and found that Xie An smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the table.

    "Shut up!"

    "" Liu Qing was shocked. She was so frightened by Xie An's calm-sounding words that she didn't dare to say anything more.

    It's no wonder, after all, Xie An doesn't get angry easily on weekdays. Even when he saw Wu Heng, who had shot him two days ago, he didn't take revenge, let alone torture. He can be said to be a very generous man.  He was dead, but now, he was staring at her with that kind of suppressed anger eyes.?Liu Qing, why doesn't this scare Liu Qing?

    "Ahem! In fact, the credential does not mention General Liangqiu's affairs" After coughing, Li Xian changed the topic to help Liu Qing.  After all, he also knew the relationship between Xie An, Liu Qing and Liang Qiu Wu. The former was husband and wife, and the latter had a bond comparable to sworn sisters. Li Xian did not want any rift to appear between them at this time.

    "According to Xiao Wang's inference, General Liangqiu should be trapped somewhere"

    Liu Qing calmed down after being shouted at by Xie An. After taking a deep breath, she calmly asked, "Why do you see that?"

    I saw Li Xian slowly handing the Chinese book to Ji Hong, and analyzed calmly with his hands behind his back, "It is detailed in the book of state that His Majesty personally guarded the capital of Hebei, and invited his mentor Yin Gong to go to the ancient capital of Chaoge to reorganize the court.  Most of the aristocratic families, wealthy people, and common people in Jijing City also moved to Chaoge one after another, including the harem and the family members of the officials in the court However, His Majesty was the only one who stayed in Jijing in person! - What does this mean?  "

    "This means that your emperor of Zhou is a responsible and wise king! - Do you want to publicize this, Prince Xian?" Liu Qing replied coldly.

    Hearing this, Li Xian glanced at Liu Qing, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed extremely worried about the safety of General Liangqiu, so much so that you are blinded and cannot even see such things"

    "What do you mean?" Liu Qing asked with a frown.

    "It's very simple," Li Xian said sternly, waving his hand to signal Liu Qing to stay calm, "Since the imperial court agreed to Your Majesty staying in Jijing, they must have felt that Jijing could be saved, so they moved away the rest of the people, just to  To guard against the slightest, just in caseif not for this, with the loyalty of my mentor and the many virtuous people in the court to me, Great Zhou, it would never be possible for His Majesty to stay in Jijing!"

    "So what?" Liu Qing asked doubtfully.

    "The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Looking at Liu Qing with a smile, Li Xian lowered his voice and said, "Why do Xiao Wang's mentors and many virtuous people in the court still think that Ji Jing can be saved?"

    Liu Qing¡¯s complexion changed slightly when she heard this, and she suddenly realized, ¡°Sister Xiaowu?¡±

    "Not bad!" Li Xian nodded approvingly and said in a deep voice, "General Liangqiu is still there, and the Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army is still there. The troops and horses in northern Xinjiang that threaten Jijing should only be a small partInstead  In short, the current situation in Hebei Capital should be that General Liangqiu is still fighting with the large troops from Northern Xinjiang. However, another group of Northern Xinjiang troops broke through General Liangqiu's defense line and endangered Hebei Capital. Therefore,  That¡¯s why we moved the capital.¡±

    "That's it" Liu Qing let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this.  In fact, to be honest, in normal times, she would be able to see through this kind of thing at a glance, but it is a pity that her mind is currently occupied with Liang Qiu Wu's safety, so that her insight has weakened to such an extent that she can't help but say something.  No wonder Xie An got angry if he said something unpleasant.

    After thinking about the matter, Liu Qing looked at Xie An guiltily and apologized for the nonsense she just said.

    After gently patting Liu Qing's shoulder to comfort him, Xie An took a long breath and said in a deep voice, "However, this is the letter of credence from two months ago. I have no way of knowing what is happening in Hebei and Beijing now."  , but one thing I can be sure of is that my wife will never be defeated by the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang!"

    "Xiao Wang also agrees with this!" Nodding in agreement with Xie An's conclusion, Li Xian frowned and guessed, "According to Xiao Wang's guess, General Liangqiu is probably trapped somewhere"

    "Bo Ling?" Ji Hong asked in surprise. After all, Liang Qiu Wu first resisted the troops of Northern Xinjiang in Boling.

    "It should be" Li Xian nodded, then frowned and said, "The soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang can bypass Boling and threaten Jijing. Xiao Wang is not puzzled at all. After all, Xiao Wang's brother of the Four Emperors once dominated the grassland.  , definitely not blocked by the small pass of Boling, he must have found a secret mountain stream path that can pass through Boling. The only thing Xiao Wang is wondering iswhy General Liangqiu and the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion did not retreat to Jijing  !¡±

    "What your Highness is saying" Ji Hong said with some confusion, "Boling is the gateway to the north of Jijing, so naturally it cannot be surrendered to the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang"

    "But the troops and horses in northern Xinjiang have endangered Jijing, haven't they? In other words, Boling has lost its role as a pass General Liangqiu has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and there is no way he would be confused about this kind of thing.  ¡ª¡ªCompared to Ji Jing, Boling is just a pass, and defending Ji Jing is the most fundamental thing, isn't it?"

    "Your Highness means"

    Exchanging glances with Xie An, Li Xian murmured, "Perhaps it's not that General Liangqiu doesn't want to retreat, but that she can't retreat. She is in an embarrassing situation where she cannot retreat back to Hebei. For example one day  An army blocked Boling's rear and cut off her way back!" Speaking of this?, he raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and cursed, "Someone in Jijing has rebelled!"

    "What?" The expressions of everyone in the room changed drastically. During this period, Ji Hong, the Minister of Civil Service, said in shock, "Someone in Ji Jing has rebelled? But Your Highness, the only people with military power in Ji Jing at the moment are" At this point, his expression suddenly changed.  Got to be pale.

    As if he had guessed what Ji Hong was thinking, Li Xian gritted his teeth and cursed, "Ah, what Xiao Wang is referring to is my 'Four Towns of Jijing'! - There must be someone among the 'Four Towns of Jijing' who has an affair with Northern Xinjiang"  !¡±

    Hearing this, Xie An subconsciously glanced at Li Xian and made a calculation in his mind.

    At this time, Liu Qing had also calmed down, frowned and asked, "How can we determine this?"

    Li Xian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Our ancestral system in the Zhou Dynasty stipulates that Jizhou soldiers guard the capital, and soldiers and horses from the four towns guard the capital. In addition, no troops are allowed to enter the capital without permission, otherwise they will be punished for the crime of rebellion.  ! And now all the soldiers from Jizhou and the army of the capital are here in the south of the Yangtze River. There are only four towns in Jizhou with a total of 80,000 soldiers guarding the capital"

    "What if it's a soldier from Northern Xinjiang?" Ji Hong asked cautiously.

    Li Xian shook his head when he heard this, and said seriously, "Mr. Ji is from Jiangnan, and he doesn't know the capabilities of the Eastern Army's Shenying Mr. Xie should know this best. What the Eastern Army is best at is encounters in the field, and everyone in the army is a sergeant."  They can serve as scouts, and the mounted cavalry and the dismounted infantry are undoubtedly our most elite army in the Great Zhou Dynasty! - The 20,000 Eastern Army cavalry in the field are 20,000 scouts, and the Northern Xinjiang soldiers are even equipped with wings.  , and it is impossible for General Liangqiu to sneak around to the rear of Boling without General Liangqiu noticing!

    General Liangqiu has studied the art of war intensively since he was a child and has been carefully taught by Duke Liangqiu. It is absolutely impossible for him to be negligent in this kind of thing.  If Xiao Wang guessed correctly, even if the Northern Xinjiang soldiers found the mountain stream path that could quietly pass through the Boling Pass, General Liangqiu would know about it and immediately retreat to Jijing.  In other words, it was impossible for the troops from Northern Xinjiang to sneak up behind Boling without General Liangqiu noticing.

    And if General Liangqiu is really trapped in a dilemma in Boling, it proves that someone among the soldiers and horses of the four towns guarding the capital that has been inherited by Jijing for hundreds of years has rebelled It should be the Southern Army's 'trapped' and the Western Army'  One of the "Jiefan" and "Beiwei" branches of the Northern Army!  "

    Even though he had vaguely guessed it, when Li Xian said it himself, Xie An couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

    The Eastern Army's "Shenwu", the Southern Army's "Shenwu", the Western Army's "Jiefan", and the Northern Army's "Beiwei", these four elite groups known as the four towns of Jijing, once maintained the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.  Dazhou's last line of defense.  But now there are various signs that there are traitors among these four elite troops. No wonder people are stunned.

    [A traitor in the four towns of Jijing?  ]

    With his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the seat, Xie An concentrated on deep thought.

    First of all, the Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army can be eliminated. After all, Xie An would never believe that the Liangqiu family would rebel against Zhou. You must know Liang Qiuwu's loyalty to Zhou, but even he, as a husband, would feel jealous.

    Second is the Nan Army To be honest, Xie An also trusts the Nan Army. After all, Lu Gong treats him no less than Liang Qiu Gong treats him. He almost treats him as a godson, and has brought his daughter-in-law Su Wan with him more than once.  Xie An's feelings.

    The only grudge is that Lu Fan, the eldest son of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion, was killed by Liang Qiu Hao. But now that Liang Qiu Hao is dead, this feud should be over no matter what.

    Of course, there may still be some people in the Southern Army who hate the Liangqiu family and even think about how to retaliate against the Liangqiu family. But no matter what, the Southern Army went out in full force and did not hesitate to betray the Zhou Dynasty to avenge the Liangqiu family.  Ann would never believe it.

    Then there is the Western Army. To be fair, Xie An is still biased against the Western Army and the Xigong Mansion. However, it is undeniable that the Western Army is the most mysterious and subtle among the four towns.

    I remember that in the forced palace incident led by the brothers Li Wei, the former crown prince, and Prince Anling Li Cheng during their lifetimes, the Xigong Mansion and the Western Army acted as Li Cheng's minions, allowing them to deceive the court's eyes and ears.  Suddenly they entered the city.  However, despite assisting Anling King Li Chengxing in his rebellion, the Western Army was not wholehearted and was defeated by the Eastern Army's counterattack.

    As one of the four towns, Xie An absolutely did not believe that the Western Army had no strength left to resist under the attack of the Eastern Army. The only explanation was that the Marquis of Xixiang, Han Yu, let loose during that battle, and he was not able to let it go.  One and a half stars.

    Afterwards, the court originally wanted to investigate the crimes of the Western Army. However, the Marquis of Xixiang, Han Yu, blamed all the faults on Li Cheng, Prince of Anling, saying that the Western Army was deceived and had a good attitude.  Li Shou really didn't know how to deal with it, so he finally let it go.

    And now oneThinking of the traitors in the four towns, Xie An immediately thought of Xixiang Hou Han Yu and the Xi Army. After all, the position of the Xi Army in the DPRK has always been very subtle, even when Xie An and Li Xian  When the DPRK seized power, the Western Army did not intervene, but actively avoided the matter.  During that time, Xigong Mansion always kept its door closed and did not participate in it.

    Of course, in addition to the Western Army, the Northern Army is not without the slightest suspicion of "beiwei".  Like Xixiang Hou Hancheng, Beichi Hou Wenqin has never expressed his political stance in the court since the death of Prince Li Wei. He neither ignored the solicitation of the Eight Sages Li Xian nor expressed his allegiance to Li Shou.  To be honest, Xie An really couldn't guess what this person was thinking.

    [The Western Army, or the Northern Army, or the two armies of the four towns rebelled at the same time]

    Looking at each other, Xie An and Li Xian felt as if their heads were as big as a bucket, and all kinds of worries were rushing into their minds.

    They thought that the soldiers and horses of the Four Towns would be the strongest barrier to the capital, so they led the Jizhou soldiers south to put down the rebellion. But who would have expected that traitors would appear even among the soldiers and horses of the Four Towns?

    "Okay, okay," Xie An took a deep breath and said seriously, "Until the situation is clear, it is useless for me to make random guesses. In any case, I will return to the capital immediately to help!"

    "Hmm!" Li Xian nodded and agreed, "What Mr. Xie said is absolutely true, but our army has just experienced a series of fierce battles, and the soldiers have not had enough rest. If we continue to travel a long way to Jijing, I'm afraid  ¡­Let¡¯s sort things out here first! - Furthermore, Xiao Wang has not yet made preparations for some matters related to the aftermath of Jiangnan and the prisoners of the Taiping Army.¡±

    "How many days will it take?"

    "About two months!"

    "Two months?" Xie An was stunned when he heard this and looked at Li Xian in surprise.

    Seeing this, Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you want Xiao Wang to return to the capital immediately? There is really no way to escape. The soldiers who died in this battle and the Taiping prisoners who surrendered need to be registered one by one by Xiao Wang.  The case. The soldiers who died need to be compensated, the surrendered Taiping Army needs to be arranged, and the frightened people in Jiangnan need to be appeased. These are not things that happen overnight!"

    "But two months is really too long"

    "There's nothing Xiao Wang can do about it. It's because of the lack of manpower" As he said that, Li Xian, the Eighth Sage King, gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty days is the fastest!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's clear chuckle came from outside the house.

    "Fifty days? No, ten days is enough!"

    "Huh?" Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion, because they felt that the female voice with a mysterious and arrogant tone was somewhat familiar.

    "XiangYu?" Xie An stared with wide eyes as his eldest grandson, Xiangyu, held the baby in his arms and slowly walked in from outside the house with the support of Jin Ling'er and Qin Ke'er.

    "My lord, I'm so polite" After blinking at Xie An, Changsun Xiangyu turned his eyes to Li Xian, Liu Qing and others, and said with a smile, "How is it, Li Xian? - You, concubine  Shen, Master Ji, Sister Ke'er, Sister Liu Qing, His Highness Liu Yan, I will wait within ten days to end the matter here! Then the troops will point to Jizhou!"

    Li Xian was shocked when he heard this, and then he raised a smile, nodded and said, "Now we have enough manpower!"

    Looking at Li Xian, Changsun Xiangyu, Liu Qing and others with different expressions, Xie An opened his mouth and felt a different feeling in his heart.

    Changsun Xiangyu, Li Xian, and Liu Qing are three strategists with photographic memory, logical multi-threading computing capabilities that transcend the times, and can be called evil strategists with endless plans, plus Qin Keer, Ji Hong, and Liu Yan  Waiting for help

    In a sense, this is the most luxurious think tank in the world, no doubt!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
