The crisis was temporarily avoided, but Zhang Xian was ordered not to leave the royal capital, and let him go to the western camp to train soldiers and horses. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xian hinted that Wang Yun instigated Dong Yidao to take charge of the city defense of the royal capital, and with the support of Wang Yun and half of the veteran generals in the army, Dong Yidao got his wish, replaced the second prince in charge of the Yuwei army, and was promoted to the general of the auxiliary state, second only to Su Kai.

The city lords of the four northern cities were all replaced by Zhang Xian's people with the help of Dong Yidao, it was not that Dong Hou Ye was not loyal to Su Yu, the loyal Hou Ye didn't know Zhang Xian's ghost thoughts, he only felt that the people Zhang Xian proposed were indeed talented people who could govern the four northern cities well.

Marquis Dong was so ambitious in his old age that he wanted to move his Orion Village people to the royal capital, but he was depressedly canceled by Zhang Xian's strong dissuasion.

Zhang Xian pulled Guan Wu Dong Lu away from Dong Houye, let them go back to Orion Village, and moved all the people to Taohuayuan, only a few people were left in Orion Village, and the lonely and widowed veterans who had been disabled with Dong Houye's conquest, their task was to be responsible for receiving and nursing, and Zhang Xian delivered daily necessities to Taohuayuan.

Later, Su Kai lost power, and his eldest son Su Pinghai switched to Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian saw Su Pinghai's face and left Su Kai an old life, Su Kai lived in Turin Manor, and was later sent to Peach Blossom Garden by Zhang Xian to retire, and the Turin Courtyard and Orion Village became the headquarters of the Red Evil Pavilion.

Guan Wu and more than a dozen other young people settled down in the village, and Liao Weikai's Zhenwei army, who ran away in a gang, joined the army, and later the ascended Marquis Dong was addicted to officialdom and couldn't extricate himself, so he passed a message to his son Dong Qing, and he didn't care about the Peach Blossom Spring.

Zhang Xian was placed under house arrest by Su Xian in Xidaying, but Su Wei did not do anything wrong, Mr. Zhang Geli and the 3,000 private army still followed Zhang Xian, that is, they were forbidden to walk in Xidaying, and blocked his contact with Liu Yong and Liao Weikai's two armies.

Zhang Xian smiled disdainfully at this.

Half a month later, Su Kai and Su Hu returned with their troops, although they annihilated the main force of the rebels, but still let the Zhao father and son escape, Su Wei looked at the embarrassed, and the remaining less than 10,000 Yu Wei Army, did not praise the achievements of the two, flicked his sleeves and returned to the palace, Su Kai's heart was cold to the end, Su Hu lowered his head and returned to his mansion without saying a word, and left 10,000 soldiers there, and Dong Houye, the commander of the light pole, came forward to appease and take over the 10,000 Yu guards.

At the end of August, Dong Houye finally recruited 100,000 Yu Guards, the 20,000 people left behind in the West Battalion, and had some tiger prestige temperament under Zhang Xian's training, these 20,000 people were part of the Praetorian Guard formed when Su Wei was preparing to conquer Chu, and the destroyed city walls of the royal city were almost repaired, and the military rations from all over the Basu City were also gathered, Su Yu made up his mind, regardless of all dissuasion, and prepared to drive the royal conquest in person, Basu City did not have many available soldiers, the Yu Guard Army could not move, the veterans of Long Wuwei were withdrawn, and the reorganized Long Wuwei was still in training, and they were responsible for guarding the palace, so they naturally could not be mobilized.

Helplessly, Su Wei transferred some standing troops from all over the country, and Zhang Xian's Hu Weiwei barely made up 40,000 people, Su Wei did not let Zhang Xian take charge of this Hu Weiwei, but sent Lin Zhaohou Su Qing to be the commander of the general Zhengnan, and the Tai Lieutenant Su Kan accompanied him. Su Hui, the captain of the protector army, supervised the army, this guy has this official position left now, and he was almost beaten to death by Su Yu with a stick, and he is always a meritorious man.

Marching Sima, Staff Division;

Zhonglang will be the prince of jade

Guo Tu.

The main book;

Charlene, etc...."

Yuan Hui supervised the grain officer, and more than a dozen newly promoted young lieutenants were transferred with the army.

And Zhang Xian, as a general of the third grade, only appointed a vanguard officer, not as big as the prince Yuquan, Zhang Ge and Mr. Li did not even give a small official position, Mr. Li didn't care, but Zhang Ge almost didn't go berserk, Zhang Xian knew what Su Wei was thinking, persuaded Zhang Ge, and told him that he didn't have to fight for a while, they just took the opportunity to collect Taoguang.

The civil and military generals arranged by Su Wei's expedition to Chu are somewhat different from the information that Luo Ye got before, and the reason should be caused by the crisis in the royal city, Su Wei is no longer reusing Su Kai, Su Hui is also demoted, and the post of Imperial Doctor Su Wei was given to Liu Ming of Wang Yun's line, and Huang Ye, who was handed over to his close servant Huang Ye, who was the commander of Su Wei, was still ruthless, and removed some of the old ministers and replaced them with young people, Su Wei was all ready, and the army chose an auspicious day to sacrifice the flag.

Su Wei had already hoarded 400,000 elite soldiers at the border, and although the Zhao father and son rebelled and took away 100,000 and 300,000, Su Wei still had a lot of confidence, leaving Dong Hou Ye at home, and Su Wei had no worries.

Before leaving, Luo Ye passed on several spy reports to Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian felt heavy when he saw it, but he didn't show it.

The internal spy report was the most difficult for Zhang Xian to accept, but he still suppressed it, and just secretly communicated with Li Wenhui, and the two made some preventive arrangements after research.

Zhang Xian is just curious about external things, but these things haven't happened yet, and besides, they are all things on the rivers and lakes, and Zhang Xian doesn't plan to participate, but....

There is also the matter of the Eastern Route Army and the Southern Route Army, Zhang Xian and Li Wenhui have been plotting for a long time, and they have also made plans, and they have arranged these things before departure, because Zhang Xian will not be so free after departure, he will be closely monitored, and it is inconvenient to contact the Red Evil frequently.

...........................

Zhang Xian led 5,000 pioneers into Donglu City in mid-September, and Su Xian's car was half a day's journey behind, but after leaving the royal city, Zhang Xian inadvertently discovered a strange thing from Wang Ziyu's conversation, which made his heart tremble.

Zhang Xian quietly told Li Wenhui about the abnormal situation he found, and Li Wenhui thought about it for a while, and suggested that Zhang Xian should not mention it, so he should not know.

So Zhang Xian did his duty, and a few days later he entered the Donglu City boundary with the pioneer battalion, preparing to camp outside Huowang Town, but ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

These people are the Huo family of Donglu City, there are about 1,000 people, holding a nail rake, hoe and other agricultural tools in their hands, the leader is tall and mighty, and a big guillotine is like a door.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Xian didn't know.

"Hmph... If we have just taken away our grain, will we have to collect even the grain we have to grow, and will we live?" the man at the head shouted.

"Collect your grain? We just arrived here, and we don't plan to collect food?!"

"And what are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, we don't need to tell you what we're here for, it's a big crime for you to gather a crowd to attack the officers and soldiers, so let's disperse before anything happens. "Zhang Xian is still more polite to these farmers, if he changes a prince like Su Kai and does not order them to be slaughtered, this will be regarded as a rebellion.

"Brother Huo, these officers and soldiers are neatly dressed, as if they are not those who collect grain. A young man beside the mighty man said softly.

"This little brother, isn't the person who collects your grain undressed?"

Zhang Xian originally thought that they didn't know what to do, so he used a little force to scare them away, otherwise those people from the Military Supervision Department rushed over, but they didn't have a good attitude, and they would be unlucky if they didn't make these farmers, but the young man's words made Zhang Xian's heart rise.

"Well, as if we had lost a battle, our armor and clothes were in tatters, and we forcibly requisitioned grain in our town, and some people even snatched it. ”

The young man replied in a timid whisper.

"When did they come, how long have they been walking, and in which direction have they gone?"

As expected, these people who levy grain should be the remnants of the rebels of the Zhao family and his son, but they didn't flee to Shitang City, why did they come here?

"Back to the military master, they came at the beginning of the year, and when they approached Shen, they went in the direction of Donglu City. ”

Zhang Xian arrived at the beginning of Shen Shichu, which means that they have not been gone for a long time.

"I know, you are all scattered, I will give you the food that you have been taken, and I will give it to you to get it back. Zhang Xian waved his hand.

"Why should I believe you?" said the mighty man's glare.

"Well, in this way, you take a few people with me, if I want the food back, you can send someone back to inform the neighbors to pick it up, how about it?"

"What about this... You, the little general, have a good face, so I believe you, Huo Du, Huo Kai, Huo Su, you go with me, and everyone else goes back to listen. ”

The mighty man was very appealing, and in a word, more than a thousand people went back to the town in a noisy.

"Wang Zhongke. ”

"Humble in office. ”

"You take a dozen experienced scouts to investigate, and when you find those people, don't alarm them, send someone to report to me quickly, go ahead, be more careful. ”

Zhang Xian patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder and instructed, this Wang Zhong is Fang Ming's subordinate, cold clothes, has been in the army for more than ten years, is a veteran oilman, and Zhang Xian wants to lead a team of scouts, a general in Dao'an City.

Seeing Wang Zhong galloping away with more than a dozen horses, Zhang Xian turned around and asked Xie Hui from the Military Supervision Department to be invited.

"Lord Xie (Judge of the Supervising Army), please send a quick horse to report to the general, we may have encountered the remnants of the Zhao Wu rebels, and we will report it later after verification, please consider General Zhengnan. ”

"Ah, is it true? Okay, I'll send someone right away. ”

Xie Hui was excited and worried, excited; if he really found the rebel leader Zhao Wu, it would be a great achievement, and what he was worried about was that the people in their vanguard battalion would not be able to deal with Zhao Wu, but would suffer from it.

Zhang Xian ordered to set up camp and appeased Huo Meng and the four to calm down.

When Li Wenhui heard about this, he said to Zhang Xian: "Son, don't you think this matter is strange?"

"Hmm... Zhang Xian frowned: "Well, it's a bit too much of a coincidence." ”

"It's not just a coincidence, it's a purposeful coincidence, you think, they've been defeated for a long time, they should have arrived early in Shitang City, and they should have gone back to Xilu City early, and they heard from the villagers that they still looked defeated, couldn't they even find a change of clothes for so long?"

"Could it be—" Zhang Xian's vest chilled.

Li Wenhui pointed to the sky.

About half an hour later, a scout rushed back.

"The report found more than 4,000 people in the valley thirty miles to the southeast, which was confirmed to be the remnants of the Zhao Wu rebels. ”

"Okay, it's hard work, go down to rest for a while, and then go back and tell Wang Zhong, just follow from a distance, don't be discovered by them, if there is an abnormal situation, report to me in time, go." ”

After the scout left, Zhang Ge walked into the big tent, Zhang Ge was angry during this time, but Mr. Li was happy, he had nothing to drink tea and read books, and played a game with Su Yuanxi.

"Hmph... Give me 3,000 people, and I'll go and destroy Zhao Wu. Zhang Ge Zhang Ge got the letter and came to Zhang Xianqi and shouted.

"Brother, don't be impatient, please take a seat. Zhang Xian comforted Zhang Ge.

"Childe, in fact, we don't have to worry about that, just report and obey orders. Li Wenhui suddenly interjected and said a little casually.

"Well, yes, there are General Zhennan above, and there is the king, we are just the vanguard officer, and besides, there are more than 4,000 rebels, and we are only 5,000 new troops, so we have no chance of winning at all, so we have done our duty, and we just wait for the order. Zhang Xian knew Li Wenhui's thoughts.

"But too. Zhang Ge didn't argue when he thought about it, he was just angry in his heart, he didn't have the heart to compete, he was just Zhang Xian's identity as a general.

Zhang Xian is in the period of collecting Taoguang, and he just needs to do his duty.

Zhang Xian personally went to Xie Hui and told him to make sure that it was the remnants of the rebels and reported the number, and Xie Hui hurriedly sent someone to ride two horses to report.

Set up camp and bury the pot to cook.

Zhang Xian returned to his tent, and Ma Qi handed him the information that the Red Evil had just delivered, and Zhang Xian looked at Ma Qi in surprise.

"Childe, I found it on the table, I didn't see the red evil person, and I didn't use the letter eagle. March explained.

The original intelligence was a sketch of the landscape, Zhang Xian couldn't understand it, Ma Qi hurriedly dictated the translation, and Zhang Xian listened to it with a solemn face.

"Liu Bai, go and ask Mr. Li. ”

Red evil intelligence shows that Wang Bo has long been in cahoots with Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu rebelled and counterattacked Wangcheng, he originally wanted to follow, Zhao Wu thought it was easy to capture Wangcheng, leaving Wang Bo in order to contain the Hudong general Su Lu, and Chengkang's Jianjie general Ma Huan.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and seeing that the great success was completed, he unexpectedly encountered Zhang Xian, and as a result, the success was lost, and nearly 110,000 (nearly 10,000 of the Yuwei army and his old troops mutinied) The army of tigers and wolves was lost.

When he learned that Su Wei was going to conquer Chu in person, he had a plan and informed Wang Bo to ambush Su Hao on the road that Su Wei must pass, and he used his body as a bait to trap Su Wei and his enemy Zhang Xian.

Li Wenhui couldn't help palpitating after hearing the information, although he guessed it, but it came true, and he was not only afraid.

"Alas. The internal guard is useless, the two border generals rebelled, but they didn't get any information at all, it seems that Su Hui is really sitting on the millet mild. Zhang Xian sighed, although now Su Hui has lost his position as the commander of the internal guard, and Huang Ye has taken over, but the two have just handed over, and most of the responsibility for dereliction of duty is still on Su Hui.

"How should we deal with it?" Li Wenhui and the two of them had no idea.
