Chapter 176: Count out half the world

As soon as Yan Zhuang's proposal was exported, Qin Jindang slapped his thigh.

"Good strategy!"

This strategy is good, it not only captures the hearts of the people, but also puts the people under the control of the imperial court, and at the same time can slowly regain the lost territory, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. However, Wei Jiansu once again raised some doubts.

"If the imperial court sends personnel to Hebei for disaster relief, and has the heavy task of recovering the lost territory, in case the historical thieves rebels counterattack, wouldn't there be a danger of being destroyed in an instant?"

The imperial court is not yet ready to make the final preparations for a complete counterattack on Hebei, whether it is the allocation of men and horses, or the dispatch of grain, they are all stretched, and if they act rashly, in case of failure, the blow to the morale of the army will be incalculable. And if the imperial court wants to organize a counteroffensive again, it will be extremely difficult to do it without three or five years of effort.

Therefore, the preparations of the imperial court can not be done until the wheat harvest season at the earliest, and now is not the right time.

The key to Qin Jin's thinking is whether Shi Siming, who is entrenched in Hebei Province, is as strong as he shows, so the focus of the problem is also highlighted, and whether the imperial court implements a strict strategy also depends on whether Shi Siming has enough strength.

If these assumptions had been half a day ago, Qin Jin would not have put them on the agenda for discussion, but now there is Yan Zhenqing's urgent military report in front of him, and there is solemn gossip in the back. Under the mutual corroboration, Qin Jin felt that even if he was not prepared, it was necessary to test the thief rebels entrenched in Hebei.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Jin had an idea, he looked at Wei Jiansu, who was sitting on the side, and asked:

"If the imperial court sends someone to patrol Hebei Province, who does the prime minister think he deserves?"

Hearing this, Wei Jiansu was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Jin's decision to be so fast, and in just a moment's time, he had already decided on the issue of the candidate for the governor of Hebei Province. At this time, Wei Jiansu seemed to have forgotten the question of Yan Zhuang just now, his eyebrows were pondering, and his eyes were on the official document of the military newspaper on the desk, and he immediately had an idea.

"The old man thinks that the candidate for the governor of Hebei should be familiar with the local situation and have sufficient qualifications, so after such screening, there is a suitable person......

Wei Jiansu slowed down his speech and lengthened his voice, which made Qin Jin, who was anxious, very uncomfortable, so he urged:

"Who is recommended by the minister?"

"Pingyuan County is too shou Yan Zhenqing!"

When Wei Jiansu said this person's name word by word, Qin Jin immediately realized that this was indeed a suitable candidate.

Needless to say, Yan Zhenqing's fame, compared to his famous calligraphy in later generations, what Qin Jin valued more was this person's ability. To be able to lead the soldiers and civilians of Pingyuan County in five years, and persist in resisting the Anshi traitors, this alone is enough.

"This person is really suitable, Wei Xianggong is really decisive!"

The person who spoke was Yan Zhuang, and he slapped Wei Jiansu on the back at the right time, and Wei Jiansu also laughed at him, which was a response.

"This matter will be handed over to the government hall tomorrow for discussion and disposal, and the specific regulations will be taken out before noon, and the envoy of the Son of Heaven must arrive at Chang'an City within three days......"

Qin Jin's thinking is very jumpy, once the plan is determined, what he considers is the time of operation and the probability of victory and defeat, and what affects the probability of victory or defeat is that time is an extremely important factor, so it is already the limit of what he can accept to spend three days planning and overall planning.

The efficiency of the political hall is really not what it used to be, just a day and a half of effort, the specific regulations have been set, into the plain county Taishou Yan Zhenqing as the imperial history doctor, the governor of Hebei Province, fully responsible for the responsibility of recovering the people. At the same time, Yang Xingben was the ambassador of Hebei Province, and troops were transferred to Hebei to cooperate with Yan Zhenqing's restoration of the people.

In addition, there was another candidate that was unexpected by Qin Jin, that is, Jingzhao Yin Yanzhuang was the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Province, and rushed to Hebei Province with the messenger of the Son of Heaven with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival.

Accident is accident, Qin Jin immediately agreed to this arrangement. From this, it can also be seen that the intentions of the three prime ministers to make this arrangement, the governor is the envoy who can override the festival degree that only appeared in the fourth year of Zhide, and it is held by Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of Pingyuan County, who was born as a civil official, and not only meets the selection criteria but also has sufficient qualifications and popularity.

However, since it was to enter Hebei Province, which was occupied by the rebels of the historical thieves, it was inevitable to transfer troops, so Yang Xingben, who led the army to stay in Luoyang, was also brought in. Although Yang Xing was supposed to accept the promotion of the governor, he was entrusted with the important post of envoy of Hebei Province, and the meaning of checks and balances could not be more obvious.

In the final analysis, the political hall is to clear the veins of the Qin and Jin dynasties, and whether it is a courtier or a Shenwu army, someone must participate in the credit of entering the Kefu River North Road, rather than a family alone. Of course, the corresponding responsibility is not a single resistance

Among them, the most surprising and interesting is about Yan Zhuang's appointment, Yan Zhuang has not been in office for a long time, but he also has another identity, that is, an important high-ranking official who defected to Cheng in the thief rebels. The purpose of sending this person to Hebei as a Xuanfu envoy was to use the connections he had accumulated over the past ten years to recruit and rebel. In name, he was more of a proclamator exercising the power of supervision over the governor and the envoy of moderation.

All in all, the gang sent to Hebei Province was a triumvirate group of officials, and no one could dominate the family.

In fact, at this point, the government hall has fully taken into account the signs of secession that have begun to appear in various parts of the world. Gao Shi and the people who came to Yao were all famous for their pen and ink and public loyalty, and what was the result after they were put in the local area to make a festival envoy? Fortunately, there was no danger, so that the imperial court survived this unwarranted disaster.

Considering that the people in Hebei are fierce, it is likely that the people sent will have the ability to suppress the rebellion and guard the place, so as to completely eliminate the bad influence of the Anshi traitors in the past ten years. Therefore, it seems that the most appropriate approach is to send a power group that can check and balance each other.

However, Qin Jin was still faintly worried: Checks and balances can certainly restrain power, but before everything is decided, will it become an obstacle to counterinsurgency? In those days, Li Longji was famous for engaging in checks and balances, but in the end, he only checked and balanced for the sake of checks and balances, and finally ended up dying tragically in the fire.

After several considerations, Qin Jin still agreed to this arrangement. First of all, Yan Zhenqing and Yang Xingben are mostly people who can do things, Yang Xingben was promoted to a festival envoy at a young age, and several others in the Shenwu Army are the same, it is definitely an outlier since the Tang Dynasty, and at this time, some more stable people are needed to take the helm to prevent defeat due to anger.

In addition, Qin Jin also ordered people to send orders to Hedong Province to Du Fu, the governor of Hedong Province, and Lu Qi, the envoy of Hedong Province, to send troops to Hebei at the necessary time to respond to the actions of Yan, Yang, and Yan to pacify Hebei. Including Shuo Fang Dao Jiedu envoy Pei Jing received an order, together with the Hui cavalry through Saibei to the eastern woodlands, closely monitoring and pinning down the Khitans.

The military order was sent out like snowflakes, and the fast horse messengers galloped out of Chang'an one after another and headed to the east, so that they could not interfere in the affairs of Hebei!

In just three or two days, half of the counties in the world have moved, and a vigorous drama seems to have officially kicked off.

……

Yunzhou, Hedong Province, which was destroyed in the war as early as the 14th year of Tianbao, is a large place in addition to the ruins and broken walls, which are along the accumulation of white bones that can be seen everywhere. Obviously, these are not accumulated in one or two years, but have been accumulated over six or seven years.

A team of more than a dozen people, one person and three horses, galloped from the Shanbei Pass to the southwest, they were wearing shabby *, but there was no obvious banner, because the banner was neither * nor a historical thief rebel.

They went to the southwest this time because they had an important mission, because their chief general, even the imperial court, was awe-struck away by a person who was sick, very sick, and could no longer withstand the torture of the bitter cold outside the fortress, and had to go to Taiyuan or Chang'an immediately to recuperate.

However, without the order of the imperial court, the local officials of Hedong Province were not allowed to cross the border, except that this could not be violated, and from the beginning of the Zhide period, the local officials of Hedong Province were also generous, providing them with a large number of armor soldiers and food, and sometimes supplementing some manpower.

But the help that the officials of Hedong Province could provide to them was limited to this, if it weren't for the fact that their lord was extremely sick very quickly, they would not have hurried to Taiyuan for help.

Finally, before dark, these people ran to kill more than half of the sycophants and successfully arrived in Taiyuan City.

The person they planned to meet was Du Fu, the governor of Hedong Province.

From the beginning of the third year of Zhide, the Tang Dynasty officials who contacted him were changed from the Jiedu envoy to the governor, who looked good-looking, but it was more difficult to speak and difficult to deal with than the Jiedu envoy who was born in a family. The reason why it is difficult to deal with is that this governor must obey the law in everything, and there is no room for negotiation.

However, Governor Du Fu also has an advantage that other officials do not have, as long as he agrees to something, no matter how difficult it is, he will fulfill the contract as scheduled, and there has never been a time to break his promise. Therefore, as long as it is something that Du Fu promised, even if there is a big difficulty, they don't have to worry.

This is really good compared to those officials who are easy to talk to, easy to get along with, and ambiguous at critical moments.

It was precisely because of this that they rushed to Taiyuan impatiently to ask for a meeting with Du Fu, hoping that this somewhat rigid governor could mediate and relieve the siege.

Du Fu didn't put up the governor's shelf, let them go to the post house to rest, and see you in the future, after all, it was already dark at this time.

At this time, Du Fu was having dinner, and due to official business, the meal was delayed, so it was delayed until the time of the lamp. So, he warmly invited the traveler who came to the door to have dinner with him, and the food on the table was also very simple, corn and rice stewed mutton.

"General, please sit down, it's okay to talk while eating......
