After Li Zhongyi returned to Pinglu, he refused to return to the capital to hand over his military power and become a so-called rich man.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Fan Zhen is not only not stupid, but extremely smart, and he expects that Li Zhongyi will be reversed sooner or later.

Therefore, the political hall headed by Fan Zhen also made military arrangements early, sending Fu Zhaoxin to lead 50,000 elite forbidden troops to garrison Bozhou.

Bozhou, with the Daimyo's Mansion in the west and Yunzhou in the south, is the throat of Pinglu Xijin Kaifeng, and its military value is immeasurable.

Inbo Prefecture is not only located on the front line against the Khitans, but also stuck in the transportation node connecting the Yellow River and the Grand Canal, and at the same time, it also has a military auxiliary defense role of covering the daimyo's mansion from the flank, and has always been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Starting from Houliang, until the present dynasty, the entire Bozhou city has been continuously heightened and thickened, and even the moat is as wide as three zhang, which has reached the level of no less than the Beijing Daimyo's mansion.

The Daimyo's Mansion, that is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Fu, the father and son of the Fu family have been operating there for many years, and they can be described as strong soldiers and strong horses, with deep roots.

Fan Zhen's vision is still very accurate, as long as Fu Zhaoxin gathers heavy troops and firmly chokes Bozhou's throat, even if Li Zhongyi wants to make a detour to attack Kaifeng City, he must also worry about the emptiness of the old nest and the fatal injury of the grain road being cut off.

Although Fan Zhen is not very clear in military theory, he is very clear about the relationship between the powerful and the rich in war.

In order to guard against Li Zhongyi's attack, Fan Zhen arranged for the Yamen of the Transshipment Division and the Yamen of the Third Division to continuously deliver more than one million stone of grain to Bozhou.

After Fu Zhaoxin took office, he strictly implemented the decision of the political affairs hall on the clear field of the fortified wall, not only collecting firewood and harvest, but also almost sweeping away the people's grain stocks.

Others may not know how powerful Li Zhongyi is, but Fu Zhaoxin is a general in the entire court who understands the Li family's strong combat power better than Zhao Kuangyin.

Bozhou dug wells widely, repaired moats, and had more than 50,000 heavy soldiers, as well as 30,000 villagers who were temporarily recruited. The grain and grass hoarded in the city are enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to open their bellies to eat a year's chewing wraps, and the firewood is also piled up, Fu Zhaoxin can be said to have made sufficient preparations for defense.

As the saying goes, go into battle with father and son, fight tiger brothers!

Bozhou (Liaocheng) and Damingfu (Daming County) are only more than 200 miles apart, once Bozhou is attacked, Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, cannot sit idly by and watch his son be unlucky, and will definitely send a large army to reinforce.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Wei family of the Daimyo Mansion are not as effective as the forbidden army of the imperial court, after all, they are also the economic army of the imperial court, and the ability to help Fu Zhaoxin defend the city is still more than enough.

Of course, Empress Dowager Fu's absolute trust in Fan Zhen has become relative trust. In order to sit firmly on the throne of the prime minister, Fan Zhen did not relentless at all, and ruthlessly countered the Empress Dowager Fu's army.

Li Zhongyi is undoubtedly a tiger descending from the mountain, a general of the Fu family who is entrenched in the Daimyo's mansion like a wolf, but he is the real foundation for the Empress Dowager Fu to be qualified to hang the curtain.

Fan Zhen used a strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. When the wolves of the Fu generals and the victorious tiger army of the Li Jiajun fight to the death under the city of Bozhou, and both sides are exhausted, it will be the turn of the imperial forbidden army to come forward to clean up the mess.

Fu Zhaoxin was sent to garrison Bozhou early, which was a clever move that Fan Zhi quietly made quietly.

No matter who is sent to guard Bozhou, Empress Dowager Fu cannot rest assured, only Fu Zhaoxin personally goes out to make it possible for her to sleep peacefully.

How else to put it, afraid that the hooligans are educated? Fan Zhen grasped the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Fu with extraordinary precision, and easily pitted the Fu family.

The strength of the Fu family army has been greatly damaged, and the Empress Dowager Fu will definitely need the support of the political hall even more, which is exactly what Fan Zhen wants.

Empress Dowager Fu let Fan Zhen sell it naturally, but she has been kept in the dark, and she still feels that Fan Xianggong fully supports her, the little emperor and the entire Fu family.

It is not surprising that Wenchen leaders like Fan Zhen, who have read a subset of scriptures and history badly, but are full of bad water, abound in history!

Fan Zhen and Yang Jiong discussed for a long time, and then they tidied up their clothes, took square steps, and calmly entered the palace.

When Empress Dowager Fu was waiting anxiously, she heard that Fan Zhen had finally come, and ordered the palace maids and eunuchs around her: "Quick, please invite Fan Xianggong in." ”

Although the eunuch who passed the message covered it up well, Fan Zhen still saw the anxiety of the Empress Dowager Fu. He couldn't help but smile, Si Chen, he couldn't do it in the end!

Fan Zhen walked in all directions unhurriedly, and slowly paced into the Chongzheng Palace, since the death of the first emperor, this place has become a special palace for the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Fu to summon the prime minister.

The palace in front of me, which is both familiar and unfamiliar, has witnessed the whole process of Fan Zhen from a marginal person in the political arena to the head of the political hall.

"Please be seated." Fan's treatment was as noble as ever, and Empress Dowager Fu not only got up and took the initiative to step down from the phoenix seat, but also performed a half-blessing ceremony.

Fan Qianchang shook himself to the ground and said politely: "In front of the Queen Mother, is there a seat for a certain family?" ”

"You don't have to be formal, please take a seat." Empress Dowager Fu invited three times in a row, and Fan Zhen sat down on the brocade stool steadily.

After serving tea, Empress Dowager Fu and other Fan Zhen drank three sips of hot tea in a row, and then slowly spoke: "Xianggong, the military situation ahead is urgent, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate for a handsome minister in the political affairs hall?" ”

Fan Zhixin said that when the picture was exhausted, it finally came. Once upon a time, there was almost nothing to say between Fan Zhen and Empress Dowager Fu, and Empress Dowager Fu also obeyed her words.

However, the world is really unpredictable, Fan Zhen can't remember clearly, when did he have an estrangement with Empress Dowager Fu?

"Empress Dowager, the minister thinks that Han Tong can be a handsome minister." Fan Zhen originally wanted to recommend Zhao Kuangyin as the handsome, but since Li Gu had met the Empress Dowager Fu in private, he simply took retreat as an advance, and pushed Han Tong out first, to see the Empress Dowager's reaction, and then make a plan.

Yang Jiong has never experienced major events, and it is not surprising that he is a little confused, but Yang Jiong's calculation of people's hearts is still far beyond the level of ordinary ministers.

Fan Zhen has been in power alone for more than two years, and has dealt with the Empress Dowager Fu countless times, and he can be regarded as knowing the temper and temperament of the Empress Dowager Fu very well.

Objectively speaking, Empress Dowager Fu still trusts Fan Zhen very much. However, Empress Dowager Fu is also a faithful believer in the court, so this trust is no longer the absolute trust of the little emperor when he first ascended the throne, and the concern about Fan Zhen being in charge of the government is increasing day by day.

took the initiative to cater to Empress Dowager Fu's worries and pushed Han Tong out first, which was a reasonable suggestion put forward by Yang Jiong to Fan Zhen.

Among the generals, except for Han Tong, it is Zhao Kuangyin who has the highest status, as for Zhang Yongde, because he is an embarrassing identity attached to the royal family, it is impossible to appear in the list of candidates.

As for Li Qiong, the old immortal, he actually lost to Lin Huzi of the Tang Kingdom in the south last time, and more importantly, who doesn't know that Li Qiong and Li Zhongyi are the closest thieves, and it can be regarded as the mercy of the court if he is not killed.

"Xianggong, Han Tong is very brave and has enough qualifications, but the problem is, he can fight...... Li thief? Fan Zhen took the initiative to propose a candidate who met his heart, but the Empress Dowager Fu was a little undecided.

In the opinion of Empress Dowager Fu, Fan Zhen has always been not far from Han Tong's reckless man, how could he suddenly take the initiative to recommend Han Tong as a marshal?

Because Fan Zhen did not play cards according to common sense, it completely disrupted Empress Dowager Fu's thoughts, and for a while, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense! (https:)
