At this point in today's court discussion, Yongluan understood what the monarch meant.

He is the younger brother of the previous Duke of Qin, so he can be ranked as the right watchman, but his heart and ability are quite different from those like Zhao Zhihai and Fang Yuanheng who are fighting in the power struggle.

But his temper is no less than that of Zhao and Fang.

At this time, Yongluan had already blown his eyes angrily, and scolded Xu Fei, after scolding, he still didn't understand his hatred, so he stared at Xu Fei in a daze as if he was going to eat him.

Seeing this scene, Gong Qin said: "Uncle, Xu Qing is just proposing, the widow has not yet decided, according to your opinion, who should be sent to the two counties to quell the rebellion?"

Or did the uncle figure it out and was willing to lead the troops himself? ”

After Yongluan heard what Qin Gong said, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Why did he come back again, and Duke Qin still wanted him to lead the troops by himself?

Then I thought about it again, at the beginning of today's court meeting, Duke Qin asked him to lead the troops many times, and it was after he refused many times that Xu Fei's proposal came later, and he did not agree to let others lead the troops to quell the chaos, such inconsistent words and deeds made Yongluan himself feel embarrassed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blush, so he said, "Please make a decision." ”

He sat down.

Seeing that Yongluan had been overwhelmed by his inconsistent words and deeds, Duke Qin was overjoyed, but he still put on a straight face, sat upright, and said with some majesty:

"Everyone Aiqing, the widow thinks that Sima Aiqing's Heavenly Furnace Battle Method is very suitable for the widow, but Xu Qing's proposal is really inappropriate.

Although Wen Zhaoyuan is famous, his qualifications are still young and he is not enough to take on this great responsibility.

According to the widow's will, the eldest son of the right greater man has not had an important position since returning to Beijing, and he has also killed the enemy in Xiaoguan to make meritorious contributions, so he can send Gongzi Qi to lead the troops to Hexi to quell the rebellion, and Wen Zhaoyuan can be appointed as a deputy general to assist him.

As for Shuofang County, let Jieyuan go, although Jiezi is old, but the national disaster is at the head, and the employment needs to be eclectic, and the widow believes that Jieyuan can still do something for Daqin.

The five counties of Xieyu also asked my uncle to personally guard against the soldiers and horses of the invading Qi country.

The rest of the Qing family must perform their duties at this time of national crisis and help my Great Qin tide over the difficulties. ”

After Qin Gong said that, seeing that Fang Xie, Zhang Ziyu and some other people in the hall were eager to try and prepare to speak, he immediately raised his hand and said:

"The will of the widow has been decided, and there is no need for everyone to say more."

With that, he got up and left the Xuanwu Palace, leaving behind a stunned central minister.

Yongluan, who was quite depressed, saw that after Qin Gong left, he realized that Qin Gong had arranged for his son to be the general of Hexi, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Originally, after Yongyunqi lost Xiao Guan, even he thought that this arrogant son had no future at all, but today Qin Gong suddenly asked Yongyunqi to lead the troops, how could he not be happy.

More importantly, once Yongyun Qi leads the troops, then the Hexi territories that originally belonged to the Fang Yong family can all become the land of the Yong family, and it seems that this nephew, who is the monarch, still takes care of himself.

Therefore, the unhappiness he felt when he was sent to guard Xieyu Pass also disappeared.

But at the same time, he also found that his nephew may not be simple, and what he did today made him a little incomprehensible to this nephew.

And Qin Gongyong Daocheng, who left the Xuanwu Palace, was also extremely excited, he endured it for seven years, and finally was able to attack the third watch when Zhao and Fang were not in the court today, and at the same time, he had no time to take care of him.

In order not to irritate Fang Yuanheng, he let Yongluan's son intervene in Hexi, which will inevitably cause contradictions between him and Yong.

And sending an old Mai Jieyuan, who belongs to no one and is about to die, also wants to eliminate Fang Yuanheng's power in Shuofang.

Jieyuan is immortal, that is the fourth party force that is neutral to the three of them.

If Jieyuan dies in office, he can send people loyal to him to take Shuofang under his own command or train new people.

For today's sake, he hibernate for seven years.

For today's sake, he and Xu Fei, Deng Ziwen and some ministers who have no real power have secretly wooed old ministers, made friends with heroes, and cultivated backbones, which can really be said to have done a lot.

Today in the Xuanwu Palace, he did not move Zhao Zhihai because Zhao Zhihai was still in his wings, Gu Daoyuan, Zhang Ziyu and others were still very strong, and they still had to rely on Gu Daoyuan's talent to deal with Qi and Shu.

And Fang Yuanheng's Situ Fangxie and Sikong Chun Yumei have no say at the moment, so these two did not speak out today as they expected.

And Yongluan, the most powerful in the DPRK, will also leave Beijing and be stationed in the five counties of Xieyu, once he leaves, no one in the power will pose a threat to him.

When the Rong people were repulsed and the three of Yongzhao Fang returned, the court situation would no longer be what it is now.

In April, the weather is getting warmer, and the land in Daqin is changing from yellow to green in the spring, and this spring's grass and trees grow particularly lush under the continuous snow in winter.

Outside every county town in the midst of the war, Daqin is full of greenery, and the flowers and birds compete for beauty, which is beautiful.

But in these counties, it doesn't seem to be so glamorous.

Zhu Lihua took 3,243 people under his command to follow Jieyuan to Shuofang County.

Today is the tenth day since they left Yuanzhou, and the army has already arrived at the boundary of Xiazhong County.

Originally, Shuofang County could be reached after going north from Yuanzhou to Lingzhou and then going east for more than 500 miles through Qinlan County, but Lingzhou and Qinlan counties were hindered by the Rong people, so Jieyuan and his party had to go south from the middle of summer and then go north to Shuofang through Hexi County.

As a result, it can take a month to travel on the road alone.

Although this is also quite helpless, but the king's order is like this, and everyone has no choice but to carry it out.

Before leaving Zhao Zhihai, the general and Jieyuan also discussed such a monarch's order for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that Xijing no longer had any hope for Shuofang County, so he did not plan to send troops to it, so he let Jieyuan hang a vacant post without soldiers to go north to Shuofang.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xijing has no soldiers to send, so he plans to use dead horses as live horse doctors.

But both of them tacitly did not mention the speculation that the monarch would weaken the power of the three watches.

Despite this, Zhao Zhihai naturally would not let Jieyuan go alone, although he was reluctant, he still sent Lihua to take his headquarters to go north to Shuofang with Jieyuan.

Today, the crowd has arrived in Luju County, Hajung-gun, and after that, if you go north, you will enter the boundary of Haseo-gun, and west of Luju County is Gyeonggi.

Originally close to the county town of Gyeonggi, which should be extremely prosperous, Jieyuan and Lihua and others did not see even a single person, in addition to the spring wheat that was already feet tall growing freely in the field, the artemisia grass and alfalfa were also unbridled in the wheat field, which was not a wonderful posture.

Jieyuan and Lihua suddenly understood that it seemed that Luzhou, like the two counties of Linzi and Beiyuan in Xiazhong County that they were passing by, had just experienced a rebellion, but they didn't know if the rebellion in this county had been put down like those two counties.

Lu Lihua immediately ordered Wei Mu to lead his soldiers and horses to Luzhou to inquire about information, while the rest of the soldiers rested in place and waited for the scout's return.

An hour later, Wei Mu reported with a scout, saying that Luzhou County had indeed been occupied by the rebels for nearly half a month, but because the rebels were heavily guarded, Wei Mu and the others did not dare to get too close, so they could only come back to report.

Jieyuan sighed softly, it seems that the scope of this rebellion has far exceeded his expectations, and even such a place so close to Gyeonggi has also appeared in rebellion, not to mention the border places of Hexi and Shuofang.

After discussing with Zhu Lihua, Jie Yuan decided that it would be better not to provoke the rebels when their strength was unknown, so he immediately ordered the army to bypass Luzhou and go north into Hexi County.

In the next ten days, Jieyuan and Lihua and others encountered a similar situation to Xiazhong County in Hexi County many times, and it seems that the situation is even more serious, but fortunately, Yongyun Qi led 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xijing to quell the rebellion in the north before Jieyuan and others, so they were not blocked by rebels along the way.

However, after this rebellion, which lasted for nearly two months, except for the three counties of Shangdang, Binshui, and Yuanyou, which had more troops stationed in Hexi, suffered relatively light losses, the remaining nine counties all caused the spread of war.

After obtaining some supplies through Yuanyou, Jieyuan and others also obtained some news of Yongyunqi's army from the Yuanyou defenders.

Since leaving Xijing in the north, Yongyunqi has successively recovered two county towns occupied by rebels in the south of Hexi County within ten days.

However, after Yongyunqi conquered the county seat, he slaughtered all the people of the two counties, leaving no one behind, and the originally prosperous county town became a hell on earth.

Three days after the slaughter of the city, he led the army to the north.

But then, they encountered fierce resistance from the rebels of Xuchangcheng, the county town of Hexi, because the people who had escaped from the two counties had already spread the news of the Qin army's massacre.

Therefore, until Jieyuan and Zhu Lihua came to Yuanyou County in the east of Hexi County, Yongyunqi's army was still fighting the rebels under the city of Xuchang.

For more than ten days, Yongyun has prayed for the loss of troops and generals, and has asked the Yuanyou defenders for three times for arrow supplies, so these situations can be quite accurately informed to Jieyuan and Zhu Lihua.

When the two heard the news, they were a little helpless about Yong Yunqi's brutal and idiotic behavior.

But they weren't tasked with overseeing the war, so they couldn't say anything.

After resting for three days, the army took resign from the Yuan right Qin army and continued to march north.

From this moment on, Jie Yuan and Zhu Lihua understood that the dangerous road ahead had just begun.

Zhu Lihua scattered Wei Mu and his own soldiers for more than ten miles, and waited until Wei Mu and others reported every day before ordering the army to continue to set off.

There are still more than 500 miles of land from Yuanyou to the nearest Hanhai City in Shuofang County, in which the army will also pass through the four counties of Quwo, Baishui, Pucheng and Fengtong.

More than 500 miles away, Jieyuan and his party walked for ten days.

In addition to fearing being discovered by the rebels, they also found that the people everywhere were afraid of the officers and soldiers like tigers and ran away when they saw them from afar.

After going through many difficulties and dangers, everyone finally arrived in the territory of Hanhai in Shuofang County, and even Lu Lihua rarely joked to Jieyuan:

"Jiezi, where is this to quell the rebellion, it seems to be fleeing."

After hearing this, Jie Yuan could only smile bitterly at Lihua.
