Watching, more than two hours ago they were worried about each other about Yang Xuangan's rebels, but now they relaxed in unison. A brief moment of silence. Wu Fan appeared as a hero, and Mr. Cui was shocked and fell into a daze. After all, he is an unusual person. Decades of experience in court have given him a keen sense of smell, especially for bad things. He twirled his silver-white beard and murmured with his withered lips a few times, trying to say something, but in the face of Queen Ma's happy smile, he did not say anything. Mr. Cui sighed secretly, bowed to Queen Ma and the young prince, resigned and walked out from Qifeng Hall. The sky in the north in mid-August was as blue as blue without a trace of other colors. The bright sunshine bathed Mr. Cui's body, but he could not feel any warmth. Wu Fan was ordered to stay in the imperial capital. Before going south to put down the rebellion, he tyrannically trained the Four Guards and drove away many noble generals. After going to Yangzhou, the Fourth Guards were still tightly controlled by his people. After taking care of Gao Zhizhi and others, he sat back and watched the storm rise in the north. He has not returned until now Mr. Cui saw many existences with different meanings. What Mr. Cui wants to say to Queen Ma is to use Wei Xuan, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, to play a balancing role when Wu Fan and Yang Xuangan are fighting. War is a wonderful thing. It originates from the extension of politics, thrives in political tendencies, and dies from political conclusions. But it is also a vicious thing. Once it cannot be controlled, it can backfire and destroy politics Yang Xuangan rebelled against the court and attacked Luoyang, which was politics. Wu Fan¡¯s control of Luoyang and his fight against Yang Xuangan was politics. but. Wu Fan's family is the only one who can say whatever he wants in the imperial capital. All troops and horses are dispatched and commanded by him, which is out of the scope of politics. It has risen to a dangerous level! Mr. Cui did not make it clear to Queen Ma because he was worried that the mother-in-law woman had previously confirmed that she would not participate, restrict or restrict Wu Fan's actions, and that she trusted Wu Fan. He would not talk about it at this time. Not only does it slap someone in the face, it also causes unnecessary trouble. Mr. Cui slowly walked down the white marble steps step by step, refusing the support of the attendants around him. His thin and hunched body looked lonely and stubborn. As he walked, he thought about countermeasures Yes! The focus of his concern was not Yang Xuangan. It's Wu Fan! The worried Mr. Cui was so busy thinking about Wu Fan that he forgot about his own physical safety. He stirred up garlic under his feet and fell hard. The guards and attendants were shocked. Mr. Cui wrinkled his old face in pain with a very ferocious expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Have someone secretly inform Wei Wensheng and Wei Gong, as well as Fan Zigai and Fan Huazong, the prefects of Zuofengyi County, and ask them to raise their own troops to come to Luoyang for rescue." Fainted. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Although the Hussar General¡¯s Mansion is separated by a wall from the Champion Hou¡¯s Mansion, Wu Fan still did not go back to his ¡°home¡± to visit his wife and children. Instead, he chose to summon all the civil servants and generals under his command at the "office", including those temporarily under his jurisdiction. "I'm back!" Wu Fan said the first sentence briefly. "Meet the general!" About a hundred generals all bowed to see him, their excitement was palpable. A good reputation is a good thing. It is true that Wu Fan¡¯s character and reputation are not good, but no one will deny his ability to fight. The current situation is precisely the one that requires a general who is good at fighting. Intuitive expression - Yang Xuangan's tens of thousands of troops pressed on the territory, and people in Luoyang City were panicked. Wu Fan only led 800 personal guards to the scene, and people in Luoyang became peaceful. This is momentum! Wu Fan glanced at everyone and said the second sentence, "Everyone performs his duties. Be more careful." "Here!" Everyone agreed suddenly. Wu Fan waved his hand. Those who don¡¯t matter will automatically disperse. This is power! With those who are not direct descendants gone, of course those who are left behind are Wu Fan¡¯s direct descendants. Wu Fan took a quick look and focused on the people he used to infiltrate the Four Guards of Luoyang. Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo someone was missing. Said: "Mr. Gao, where is Dong Ping?" Gao Ying came out, hesitated and said: "Dong Ping repeatedly violated military discipline, and my subordinates had no choice but to kill him!" Thinking about Dong Ping's behavior, Wu?A chewing tooth flower. He didn't blame Gao Ying, but said: "Military law is ruthless, you did the right thing!" Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Fan didn't think it was enough, so he slowly added: "You are the people I trust most, everyone is. I am not stingy or stingy, you know that. Whatever you want, tell me after you have made a contribution, or Even if I haven¡¯t done any meritorious service, I can still give it to you in advance I don¡¯t want anyone to die in vain like Dong Ping, do you understand?¡± The generals bowed their heads to express their understanding. Wu Fan nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Nothing needs to change in Luoyang City. Mr. Gao, you lead them to consolidate the city defense and protect Ziwei Palace. For the war, I will use the people brought back from Yangzhou." . "Lord!" "I want to fight!" The person who spoke had a round face, big ears, wide lips, a square mouth, and a beard, which was majestic. However His stature is about seven feet long. Among the tall generals with an average length of eight feet, he looks short, but not small, because his shoulder width and strength are far beyond anyone else, even Luo Shixin's The big body is incomparable. If it¡¯s not the ¡°pioneer¡± Suo Chao, then which one is it? "Yes! Lord!" "We have just arrived, and we are in a high position without having accomplished anything. How can we feel at ease?" The speaker was Qin Ming, the "Thunderbolt Fire", who wore a vermilion lacquer hat and a crimson robe. The mail beast swallowed the shoulder. The green combat boots are embedded in the clouds, the phoenix-winged helmet shines brightly in the sun, and the lion's precious belt hangs from the waist. He is really a tall and powerful man. Wu Fan smiled and advised: "There are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. You can make meritorious deeds by conquering Yang Xuangan, and you can make meritorious deeds by defending Luoyang. I want to pacify it as soon as possible" Before Wu Fan could finish his words, he was beaten by Gao Ying. Break. Gao Ying coughed twice and said, "My lord, can youmove over to explain?" Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "It's okay!" Gao Ying and Wu Fan went to the yard behind the main hall. Have the conversation alone. Gao Ying asked: "Why does my lord want to put down Yang Xuangan as soon as possible?" Wu Fan thought for a while and said: "The situation in Hebei and Shandong is corrupt, and Yang Xuangan is not the only rebel." Gao Ying pondered and shook his head. The words were concise and concise, and he said: "Luoyang, the head of the world and the heart of the world!" Wu Fan was speechless. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ When Wu Fan returned to Luoyang, there were no big actions for the time being. The small actions were just to order people to publicize his return to Luoyang. Fight outside. It must be settled first. Only when the imperial capital is at peace and everyone is united can Wu Fan's campaign against Yang Xuangan go smoothly. Because of the conversation with Gao Ying, Wu Fan was a little bored, and he appeared at a fork in the road where it was difficult to make a choice. Wu Fan thought of Jia Xu, a person who could help him find the right direction. Jia Wenhe occupied Lan Xiner's original position and took the intelligence network that Lan Xiner had painstakingly managed into his hands. At the same time, he actively contacted Huang Gate Guard, and added the intelligence network that Princess Xiyue had given him that Wu Fan didn't know about. Some things have become the world's leading intelligence chief. Jia Xu will be the center of his intelligence network. Set up in Huayue Building, these days I have been busy working without leaving home As for what I am busy with, I cannot tell outsiders. When Wu Fan found Jia Xu, he was reading leisurely by the window, blowing the cool wind outside and basking in the soft afternoon light. He occasionally twirled grapes from the Western Regions with his fingers, feeling like a fairy. Seeing Wu Fan arriving, Jia Xu stood up and bowed slightly, still looking like he would rather die than speak. Wu Fan sat down opposite Jia Xu and asked Jia Xu to sit down with him. He said, "How much do you know about Yang Xuangan's power?" Jia Xu thought for a while, turned around, found a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Wu Fan. Wu Fan took it, glanced at it and praised: "The calligraphy is well written." Jia Xu's calligraphy is a beautiful hairpin and small seal script. Elegant and beautiful, like the gentle handiwork of a lady. Jia Xu didn¡¯t say anything. Wu was so bored that he could only continue to read the content. There are not many words on the paper, but every sentence is important. It is a list and a short evaluation of the people on the list. Yang Liang, Yang Xuangan. The leader of the rebels is scheming, indecisive, and willful. Li Mi and Li Xuansui are the masterminds of the rebels. They are talented and decisive, and they are both dragons and snakes. There are many and so on, including almost all important figures in Yang Xuangan's rebels. Wu Fan put the paper away, rubbed his brows, and said: "Wen He, you said should I pacify Yang Xuangan as soon as possible, and then go to Hebei and Shandong? Or should I pacify Yang Xuangan slowly and sit back and watch the world in Luoyang?"?? " Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Why do you think you can hold Luoyang in your hands? ¡± Wu Fan was stunned. Gao Ying said to Wu Fan before, ¡°Luoyang, the head of the world and the heart of the world.¡± He meant to tell Wu Fan the importance of the imperial capital and wanted Wu Fan to have a fight with Yang Xuangan. The protracted war, and then quietly waiting for the chaos in Hebei and Shandong to intensify, and then using the influence of the court center to dominate, Jia Xu's words reached Wu Fan's heart, and he felt that the majesty of the Sui Dynasty had not been achieved. At the stage of collapse and collapse, I don't have the ability to completely control Luoyang. I should kill Yang Xuangan as soon as possible, eliminate the threats around Luoyang, and then suppress Hebei and Shandong. There are two benefits to this. First, it is prestige. Huge improvement, secondly, with the help of continuous war, the soldiers and horses he controls will become more and more powerful. Wu Fan rubbed his chin, looking down at the book. He probably felt that Wu Fan's attention was restored, and he raised his head. Said: "The northern part of Bohai County is your foundation, my lord, but Luoyang City is not. " It was close to evening, and ten thousand cavalry led by Bai Qi entered from Luoyang Nancheng Pass. Needless to say, Uncle Guo, with his guard Fan Tong Gao, came to Huayue Tower in a hurry, ready to be cool and relaxed, almost He was very resentful during the long journey Of course, Ya himself was not a person who could live a hard life. Wu Fan happened to be leaving from Jia Xu, and when he met Guo Jia, he casually repeated the questions to Jia Xu. After asking, Uncle Guo rolled his eyes and immediately said: "This is a simple matter, and there is no contradiction in it. Use Luoyang as the base camp and gradually drive Yang Xuangan to Hebei and Shandong. This will not only take care of Luoyang. , and can the number of soldiers and horses in hand gradually increase? "Three wise men, three views. Gao Ying thinks Luoyang is important. Jia Xu thinks strength is important. Guo Jia thinks we should have both. In this way, it depends on Wu Fan's own choice and skill. Wu Fan had a lot of worries, and Yang Xuangan also had a lot of worries. The difference was that Wu Fan didn't take Yang Xuangan seriously. Yang Xuangan was facing a formidable enemy. Zhao Huaiyi, the former governor of Jijun, reported that Yang Xuangan had joined the army. Today, Wu Shouzheng made a surprise attack from behind. Our army suffered about 3,500 casualties, of which 1,800 were killed on the spot" Yang Xuangan interrupted Zhao Huaiyi impatiently and said, "Okay! I see! " Probably realizing that his tone was a bit harsh, Yang Xuangan sighed apologetically and said, "Huaiyi, sit down first and wait for Xuansui. " Zhao Huaiyi said a little more worriedly, and continued: "The key is the soldiers and horses of Wu Shouzheng's army. There are only eight corpses left" Yang Xuangan's face suddenly became worse. "That's Wu Shouzheng's private military department. The 'guard camp' in the song can be seen from the flags! "Li Mi walked in from the outside and said: "As far as I know, these are not the most elite people under Wu Shouzheng's command. If we talk about it, they must be the 'Sin Army Camp'. The soldiers all rushed to Yongliang with him to pacify the Qiang. Those chaotic people. " Yang Xuangan complained angrily: "Xuansui! Are you trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? " Li Mi cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "No! I mean, we have to be lucky that his ¡®Sin Army Camp¡¯ is far away from Quanzhou Pass! His 'guard camp' was established not long ago. It was the fruit of his night raid on the Turkic tents. With such powerful soldiers and horses, he probably had three thousand? The rest are all the Cavalry Guard and those he recruited from the south! Yang Xuangan frowned: "Didn't you notice that the more you painted, the darker it became?" " Li Mi said three times in a row, "No! No! No! ", explained: "Ming Gong, you didn't understand. What I mean is that Wu Shouzheng's military composition consists of several levels, and it is impossible for them all to be as good at fighting as his 'guard battalion'. Moreover, I have just reported that Wu Shouzheng mobilized 10,000 cavalry from the south and arrived in Luoyang. I think these are all the sergeants he can really mobilize! We don't have to worry about the 20,000 to 34 guardsmen in Luoyang City, because we are in the 'offensive' position and he is in the 'defensive' position. He has to worry about the defense of Luoyang City! " Li Mi's words were not clear. Yang Xuangan went around and said in conclusion: "In this way, Wu Shouzheng has few soldiers and is a cavalry, so he will not defend the city. He will definitely attack on his own initiative and seek to follow. Our fight? Li Mi stroked his palms and said with a smile, "That's right!" Our army of more than 100,000 people cannot defeat him? What does Ming Gong have to worry about? " Yang Xuan felt happy. (To be continued.)
