The Doge's Palace, in the study.

After a period of pacification, Zhao Junchen finally sent Hong Gaogong away, and was about to continue to deal with the military and political documents of Shaanxi and Gansu, when he saw Xu Qingyan hurriedly pushing the door in.

Xu Qingyan's expression was slightly serious, he walked quickly to Zhao Junchen's side, bent down and whispered: "Young Master, Yu Chen rushed from the capital to Huamachi Camp, it's Fang Ru...... It was Mrs. Ruyi who sent him, and it seemed that there was something very important, and he wanted to see the young master as soon as possible. ”

After hearing Yu Chen's name, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, as if he had guessed something, his expression also became serious, and after secretly pondering for a moment, he ordered: "Secretly bring him in to see me, don't let others find out." ”

After Xu Qingyan nodded in agreement, he turned around and left the study.

Yu Chennai is one of the guards of the Zhao Mansion, this person's martial arts are rare, but the riding skills and endurance are excellent, and he can ride a horse for hundreds of miles day and night.

It's no wonder that Xu Qingyan has a serious expression, because once Yu Chen rushes to Huamachi Camp, it means that something big must have happened in the capital, and this big event must have affected Zhao Junchen's future plans! ——This is the tacit understanding in the hearts of several core figures of the Zhao Mansion.

After another tea time, I saw Xu Qingyan leading a tired and strong man into the study.

This sturdy man is none other than Yu Chen, the guardian of the Zhao Mansion!

After seeing Zhao Junchen, Yu Chen bowed to Zhao Junchen, then opened his shirt, took out a secret letter from the crack and handed it to Zhao Junchen.

After Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand to take the secret letter, he carefully verified several secret marks on the envelope, and after finding that there were no traces of opening, he tore it open and checked.

The secret letter had no beginning or end, and the handwriting was scribbled and illegible, apparently unwilling to leave evidence.

There is only one sentence in the secret letter.

"Bingchen was ordered to go to the casino, and he has tried to secretly block it, and I hope you will prepare early."

Before leaving Beijing, Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru formulated some code words, "Jiachen" represented Zhou Shangjing, "Yichen" represented the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and "Bingchen" represented Liang Fuchen...... As for Shen Changmao, the first assistant of the cabinet, he has to rank lower, which is "Ding Chen".

The "casino" represents the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, which is a metaphor for Zhao Junchen's plan on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu is a gamble.

If this secret letter is seen by people who don't know, I'm afraid they will be confused, but after Zhao Junchen saw this secret letter, he immediately understood what Fang Ru meant.

If it is translated, it means that "the imperial court already knows the situation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Emperor Deqing sent Liang Fuchen to the northwest as a minister to preside over the overall situation, after Liang Fuchen arrives in the northwest, it will inevitably affect Zhao Junchen's plan, and even make Zhao Junchen lose the dominance of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, so Fang Ru has secretly tried to secretly block it on the road, but it may not be able to delay for long, so I hope that Zhao Junchen will prepare early." ”

After reading the secret letter, Zhao Junchen sighed softly.

Then, Zhao Junchen picked up a rabbit and dipped it in ink, and stained all the handwriting on the secret letter.

Zhao Junchen's current plans are the most sensitive and confidential, and once people know about it, there is no place to bury, so they must be extremely cautious.

After dropping the rabbit hair, Zhao Junchen raised his head and instructed Yu Chen: "You rest in the governor's palace for the night, and return to the capital tomorrow to deliver a message to Mrs. Ruyi, just say that I already know." ”

Yu Chen nodded, still didn't say anything, and after bowing to Zhao Junchen again, he left the study under the leadership of Xu Qingyan.

After watching Yu Chen leave the study, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly: "It's time to come, it's still here after all!" …… And it's not surprising, sure enough, it's Liang Fuchen who came......"

After muttering, Zhao Junchen's face showed a contemplative look.

Now is a critical period of Zhao Junchen's plan, so naturally he doesn't want Liang Fuchen to interfere with him.

Zhao Junchen is only the minister in charge of disaster relief, and when he presides over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu, it is not justified after all, but Liang Fuchen is the all-powerful minister of the Eight Classics, once he arrives at the Huamachi camp, the situation that Zhao Junchen has created with great difficulty will inevitably fall short.

Therefore, Liang Fuchen must not come to Huamachi Camp.

At least until the overall situation is decided, Liang Fuchen must not appear!

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen's expression flashed a trace of gloom and determination.

And just when Zhao Junchen was thinking secretly, Xu Qingyan had quietly returned to the study, standing quietly in front of Zhao Junchen, waiting for Zhao Junchen's orders.

Zhao Junchen glanced up at Xu Qingyan, and slowly ordered: "You prepare, go to Suide County in person, and let those people act according to the plan!" ”

Zhao Junchen believed that when Liang Fuchen came to Huamachi Camp, he must be in an anxious mood and hurry along the way, so he would inevitably take the shortest route, so he would definitely pass through Suide County at the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi.

In order to prevent today's situation, Zhao Junchen has already planted two hidden chess pieces in Suide County!

In fact, Suide County had just had a horse thief at the beginning of this year, and the public order in the territory was not peaceful!

An inexplicable brilliance flashed in Xu Qingyan's eyes, he was vaguely excited, and nodded: "I understand, let's go and prepare!" ”

After speaking, Xu Qingyan turned around and left.

Except for Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan, no one knows what Zhao Junchen means by "acting according to the plan".

It's just that after Xu Qingyan left the study again, Zhao Junchen's faint sigh came from the study again.

"Liang Fuchen is indeed a pillar of the Pillars, and I hope that Suide County can delay him long enough...... Otherwise......"

*

In the next few days, Zhao Junchen concealed the fact that the imperial court appointed Liang Fuchen as the minister with full powers to come to Shaanxi and Gansu to preside over the overall situation.

Liang Fuchen has served as the governor of the three sides for many years, and has a large number of protégés and former officials in Shaanxi and Gansu, and his influence is incomparable, if Zhao Junchen leaks this news, I am afraid that he will immediately lose control of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu - not to mention the others, the two generals that Zhao Junchen values the most, He Zhang and Qi Bin, have been repeatedly promoted by Liang Fuchen in the past!

In fact, Zhao Junchen pretended that nothing had happened, and still tried his best to work hard in the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, and under Zhao Junchen's methods and suppression, most of the things went smoothly.

First of all, several governors have sent submissions one after another, saying that the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi and Gansu have received effective relief, and the chaotic situation in various places has gradually returned to stability.

Then, under the auspices of Li Ru'an and Hong Gaogong, the Jinyi Guard, the elite of the forbidden army, and the border army began to be stationed in the border army camps in various places, and the intelligence network was initially set up.

Then, Zhao Junchen's raid on the Wang family was also going well, not only the vast majority of the Wang family's clansmen were arrested, but the Wang family's properties were also seized by the government - Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, came to Huamachi Camp to join Zhao Junchen's team, and also brought the news of Zhang Shengde, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, saying that the Wang family's property confiscated in Xi'an and Yan'an Mansion alone was nearly three million taels of silver - with this silver, the border army's military merit reward and pension silver were also settled.

In addition, after the seven official documents promulgated by Zhao Junchen were conveyed to various places, under the vigorous publicity, they also produced a good response, not only the morale of the border troops in various places was greatly boosted, but the people everywhere also enthusiastically asked for war, and even many people took the initiative to join the army, which also made Zhao Junchen a little more confident in his future plans.

In the end, the situation of the new army of soldiers was also unexpectedly smooth.

Under He Zhang's best efforts, after the chaos of the first few days of chaos in the new army, the run-in progress can be described as a thousand miles a day, the soldiers began to consciously abide by the military orders, and gradually had a tacit understanding with each other, plus Zhao Junchen found a way to raise more than 500 sets of armor, more than 800 firearms, and nearly 1,000 horses for the new army, and after adding more than ten military attachés and generals, the new army has gradually formed a combat force.

At the same time, elite soldiers from all over the country also rushed to the Huamachi camp one after another to join the new army, Ningxia Military Town sent more than 700 follow-up reinforcements, and Yulin Military Town sent more than 600 follow-up reinforcements...... On the eighth day, the military attachés at all levels of Guyuan Military Town even cobbled together more than 4,500 elite soldiers to rush to the Huamachi camp, and said that there would be follow-up troops coming soon......

At this point, the strength of the new army has reached 15,000 people!

However, Zhao Junchen is not going well.

There are some things that make Zhao Junchen feel quite a headache!

For example, Zhao Junchen's order to recruit Qi Bin's new army has been spread for half a month, but Qi Bin still hasn't come to Huamachi Camp for a long time.

According to the intelligence, Qi Bin's new army was indeed on the way to the Huamachi camp, but the marching speed was extremely slow, and it seemed that they were in a hurry and practicing at the same time, and they had to stop for ten miles every day after walking ten miles, and they were still two hundred miles away from the Huamachi camp.

Obviously, Qi Bin is deliberately delaying.

It seems that Qi Bin does not think that Zhao Junchen has the qualifications to preside over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu, nor does he agree with Zhao Junchen's means of overthrowing Wang Zheng, the governor of the three sides, and he has some ideas in his heart.

Seeing that the border situation is changing three times a day, the Mongols are attacking every day and making big moves at any time, and Zhao Junchen's patience has gradually run out.

*

It has been nine days since He Zhang arrived at Huamachi Camp.

In the lobby of the Governor's Palace, Zhao Junchen looked at Qi Bin's new army's intelligence, and his face was full of coldness.

Li Ru'an, the supervising army, Guan Wuyuan, the commander of the forbidden army, Wu Qifan, the prefect of Xi'an, Zheng Jiadong, the academic administrator of Shaanxi, Zhou Bo, the envoy of Shaanxi, and Niu Fude, Su Xiqing, the staff of the governor's palace, were lined up on both sides, quietly waiting for Zhao Junchen's decision.

"What do you think about Qi Bin's matter?"

Zhao Junchen looked around at everyone and asked slowly.
