Hohe Bari looked at the book in his hand, but his thoughts flew to other places.

Shaking his head, Hohe Bari put down the book in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Lord, you seem to be a little uneasy."

There was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting on the side, with an elegant appearance, a thin figure, and a very good temperament and personal image.

This person's name is Zhu Zhengchao, who was the county commander of a county in Anbei, six years ago, Li Zhong's general Hong Chenghao, forcibly occupied the land of the people, and finally made a fuss, Zhu Zhengchao is an upright official, and he was not afraid of Hong Chenghao, who was already the deputy envoy of Anbei Jiedu, and immediately found Li Zhong to complain, but the final result, Hong Chenghao had nothing, just was scolded a few words without pain, this result, made Zhu Zhengchao angry.

In fact, Li Zhong can't be completely blamed, Anbei at that time, the political form was very complicated, Li Zhong held 150,000 elite troops, sitting in Anbei for nearly ten years, a military general, so long to control one side, the entire history of the Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, is extremely rare, because it is too dangerous, of course, Li Zhong also achieved very brilliant results, several defeats of the Mobei Hu people, the Mobei Hu people are blocked in the Momeng grassland, there is no way.

The reason why Li Zhong can be like this is because of the strong support of Zhao Zhi and Liu Ji, they believe in Li Zhong and fully support him, but there are also many people in the court who are wary of Li Zhong, feeling that he has too many rights and too much military power, and Yang Daosi, the right minister, is one of them, he and Zhao Zhi have argued many times on the issue of Li Zhong, and every time they argue, Zhao Zhi is very strong, saying that he supports and trusts Li Zhong, and there will be no change, until Yang Daosi said: Li Zhong is heartfelt to His Majesty, but what about his son? Can you also be heartfelt to Your Majesty, heartfelt to Dajin? Li Zhong's eldest son, Li Wei, is known as a young marshal in Anbei, and his prestige is extremely high, so he must be guarded against.

Yang Daosi's words made Zhao Zhi silent, and it was after this conversation that Li Zhong's monopoly on Anbei officially ended, militarily, Hong Chenghao was appointed as the deputy envoy of Anbei Jiedu, and the local administration and financial rights in Li Zhong's hands were also stripped out, but he himself was promoted from the title of county king, promoted to prince, still envoy to the festival, and the full authority of the military and political affairs of Anbei, but he could cut first and then act, act cheaply, only from a personal point of view, Li Zhong's authority has not weakened, but with the promotion of the prince, it has been improved, But from another point of view, with this series of actions, the imperial court's control over Anbei has been strengthened, this kind of control is very necessary, even Liu Wei, who has been strongly supporting Li Zhong, did not speak out against this time, after all, Li Zhong is over fifty years old, he is old, after this regulation and control, after Li Zhong leaves office, Anbei's military administration will smoothly transition to the hands of the next Jiedu envoy, instead of forming a military group to confront the imperial court, after all, there are too many such things, The most distinctive column is Wang Huailie, the envoy of Chuzhou Jiedu, this person was from a humble background, and was picked up by Zhao Zhi, and finally the military and political power of the Jiedu side, Zhao Zhi is too trusting of him, and the power given is too heavy, what is the final result? It is to form a military group with Wang Huailie as the core, and form a confrontation with the imperial court, although this confrontation is not strong, Wang Huailie is still loyal to Zhao Zhi, but the military group around him has been formed, after his death, for the continuation of interests, its festival degree will inevitably be taken over by people within its power, there is no emotional involvement, the new successor of the festival envoy, will also obey the imperial court and Zhao Zhi?

The friendship between Li Zhong and Zhao Zhi is deep, before doing these things, Zhao Zhi once had a long sigh with Li Zhong openly and honestly, explaining the truth, Li Zhong was moved by Zhao Zhi's sincerity to himself, and immediately expressed his full support and cooperation with the imperial court's personnel transfer to Anbei.

In this delicate situation, Hong Chenghao's case broke out, Li Zhong can be described as a dilemma, and finally can only put the matter down for the time being, and persuade Zhu Zhengchao not to be impulsive, but unfortunately the development of things is often unexpected, Zhu Zhengchao's wife Wang once went to the street and Hong Chenghao's wife Gou Shi met, the two broke out into a quarrel, and then Wang was beaten to death by several guards accompanied by Gou, Zhu Zhengchao was extremely sad and angry, and immediately wrote to the court to impeach Hong Chenghao for several crimes, but in the end it was only those soldiers who did it, and were sentenced to death, Hong Chenghao and his wife Gou did not receive any punishment, and afterwards, Zhu Zhengchao was transferred from his post, in the face of such results, Zhu Zhengchao's grief and anger slowly turned into resentment, just at this time, a Han man who was quite important around Hohe Bari, and Zhu Zhengchao had an old relationship, after knowing his situation, he wrote a letter to persuade him to go north to Mobei and take refuge in Hohe Bari, in order to comfort his ambitions.......

Hohe Bari sighed softly: "It's a great opportunity, but I really don't want to do it in my heart to see it missed." ”

Zhu Zhengchao knew what he was referring to, Tianxiong Khan had promised Li Zhong that before July, Mobei would not have any military action, but this kind of verbal agreement did not have any binding force, in fact, after Li Zhong dispatched a large number of Anbei elites to reinforce Longyou, the high-level Hu people in Mobei immediately had the remarks of sending troops, but the object of sending troops, there were different opinions, Hohe Bari's opinion was to gather 300,000 troops, attack Anbei, and take down this stumbling block that had hindered Mobei for many years, while Tumon had different opinions and suggested gathering the army, Take advantage of the situation to attack and destroy Monan and unify the entire Momeng grassland.

Tianxiong Khan has entered the last stage of his life, and he no longer has any nostalgia for power, he just wants to enjoy himself in the last time of his life, and he has no intention and no power to take care of other things, so he agrees with these two opinions on sending troops, and lets Hohe Bari and Tumeng watch and do it themselves.

The final result is that neither of the two brothers can convince each other, the reason is actually very simple, Tumon's territory borders on Monan, and if you capture Monan, its territory will be annexed by Tumon, and the capture of Anbei will be greatly beneficial to Hohwa Bari, both sides have their own thoughts, and the matter can only be put on hold in the end.

Huhe Bari looked at Zhu Zhengchao and sighed: "When Li Zhong led his troops south to Longyou, I should really give it a go, maybe I can take Anbei, and remove this biggest obstacle for my Mobei to enter the Central Plains in the future." ”

Zhu Zhengchao smiled and said lightly: "What if you can't take it?" ”

In response to Zhu Zhengchao's rhetorical question, Hohe Bari was stunned, and then fell silent.

Zhu Zhengchao said softly: "Lord, we only have 100,000 soldiers in our hands, even if Anbei is empty at that time, there are still 50,000 defenders, we may not be able to attack it, once defeated......"

Once defeated, Tumon is afraid that he will immediately take the opportunity to fall into the well and trample Huhe Bari directly under his feet, and there will be no return.

Zhu Zhengchao glanced at Huhe Ba Ri and saw that he was silent, so he continued: "Even if you really take Anbei, for Li Zhong and them, it will not cause too much damage, Tubo attacked Longyou this time, and did not have the intention of fighting to the death with the Jin Dynasty, we attacked Anbei, at most, it was just to cut off Li Zhong's strategic plan and force him to return to the army to rescue. If you are defeated, how will you deal with yourself in Mobei, my lord? ”
