"I didn't expect this Cui Anqian to actually break through Qingzhou!"

Seeing the letter in his hand, Zhu Wen was still a little surprised.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Liang, it is said that Cui An used a trick to collapse the city wall of Qingzhou, and his army entered Qingzhou." Jing Xiang replied.

"What about Wang Shifan?"

Zhu Wen thought that Cui Anqian would not be able to break through Qingzhou City in the end, and the final situation would be the same as the previous Zhaoyi, divided into two. But who would have thought that Cui Anqian really broke through Qingzhou City, which was a bit unexpected by him.

He fled to Laizhou, and estimated that his final destination was Dengzhou, which was close to the sea and had a naval division, which could be attacked and retreated.

But Xia Guan thinks that it is difficult for Wang Shifan to make a comeback, and the elite of the Qingzhou soldiers in his hands are almost lost, and Cui Anqian will definitely not sit back and watch Wang Shifan make a comeback. ”

"It seems that we have to speed up the attack, tell Ge Congzhou to take Xuzhou as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame this king for making him look good. When Xuzhou is taken, it is time to clean up the two brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin! ”

Cui Anqian took Qingzhou, which made Zhu Wen feel a lot of pressure.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Ziqing has been a strong domain, although it has been divided, its strength should not be underestimated. Not to mention Qingzhou, it has been a place of fierce folk customs since ancient times, and when fighting against Qin Zongquan, he also asked Zhu Zhen to go to Zizhou and Qingzhou to recruit soldiers, and finally raised more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and became the core of Xuanwu.

Speaking of Zhu Zhen, both Zhu Wen and Jingxiang deliberately avoided him just now.

For Zhu Wen, Zhu Zhen is a sore foot for him. This time, Cui An submerged to conquer Qingzhou, and Zhu Zhen led a large army to reinforce it, otherwise he might not even be able to conquer Zizhou before, let alone defeat the Qingzhou soldiers and reach the city of Qingzhou.

mentioning Zhu Zhen undoubtedly embarrassed Zhu Wen.

However, Jing Xiang knew that if Zhu Zhen was allowed to fall into the hands of Zhu Wen, the end would definitely be miserable. Just look at how Zhu Wen dealt with Zhu Zhen's wife, daughter and other family members, and you can see that he doesn't care about his past feelings at all.

Cui An's sneak attack on Qingzhou had a big impact, and even Zhu Jin didn't expect it to be so fast.

When the news reached Chang'an, although Li Ye was surprised, he still approved Cui Anqian's performance.

In addition to appointing Zhang Chan as the deputy envoy of Ziqing Jiedu, he also agreed to Cui Anqian's proposal to appoint Liu Jun, a demoted general.

In addition, Li Ye also agreed that Cui Anqian would form a 30,000-strong Pinglu Army based on the Qingzhou surrender and Dizhou soldiers, and Cui Anqian would concurrently serve as the general of the Pinglu Army.

The situation of the Pinglu Army is somewhat special, it is not a forbidden army, but the establishment of these is based on the forbidden army.

Moreover, the military expenditure of the Pinglu army came from the Ziqing Festival envoys, because the imperial court could not afford to form a new forbidden army.

Of course, it's not impossible to grit your teeth, but Li Mi dares to break into Daming Palace to fight with Li Ye.

So Li Ye can only let Cui Anqian find a way by himself, before Wang Shifan could raise an army of 100,000, can't he form a 30,000-strong Pinglu army?

In Li Ye's view, the 30,000 Ping Lu army, plus the armies of various states, is enough to deal with the current situation in Ziqing.

However, Li Ye was not too stingy, and still asked Taifu Temple to allocate 6,000 war horses to Cui Anqian, so that he could form a cavalry, and at the same time asked the military department to transfer a batch of armor to Cui Anqian.

As for the rest, it can only be relied on Cui Anqian himself.

"Your Majesty, this is a list screened by the Ministry of Officials, and it is hereby presented to Your Majesty for decision."

Early in the morning, Li Ling came to Daming Palace with a copy of the recital.

Although Li Ling opposed some of Li Ye's reforms, the affairs of the officials did not slack off because of this.

Li Ye took the fold and looked at it.

On the list are the list of candidates for several assassins under the jurisdiction of the Ziqing Festival Envoy.

In addition to Qizhou Thorn History or Huo Cun, Dizhou, Zizhou, and Qingzhou all need to be replaced with new Thorn History. Although it was not possible to take the opportunity to separate the military and the government like Hedong Province, Ziqing was now considered to be reincorporated into the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and as for Wang Shifan, who had fled, there was nothing to fear.

Although there are only three places for assassins, the Ministry of Officials has given six candidates, including several names that Li Ye is more familiar with.

Wei Governor Shi Wenxian, Shaanxi Governor Shi Zhouxuan, in addition to Wang Wei, Kong Wei, Pei Shu and other four people.

Among the six people, Wang Jun and Kong Wei are candidates for Qingzhou Thorn History, Qingzhou is Shangzhou, and Thorn Shi is from the three products.

As for the remaining four, it is the history of the two states of Dizhou and Zizhou.

Looking at the list of six people, Li Ye hesitated for a while, and finally crossed out the names of Kong Wei, Pei Shu and Wen Xian.

"Pei Shu and Wen Xian don't care for the time being, as for Kong Wei, next year I will find a state in Qianzhou Dao and let him serve as the assassin."

Li Li didn't know whether to persuade or not, he didn't understand why the Holy Lord had already enabled Wei Zhaodu, and why he didn't use Kong Wei. Is it because of Kong Xuan?

However, compared to before, Kong Wei served as the assassin of Xiazhou, and I don't know if it is degraded. You must know that Qianzhou Road is not a good place, the road is rugged and full of miasma, and he also feels uncertain about Kong Wei's future.

The names of these three people were crossed out, which means that Wang Jian is the next Qingzhou Assassin, and Zhou Xuan and the other person are the Assassins of Dizhou and Zizhou.

As for which state these two people served as assassins, that was the matter of the ministry. Including other personnel appointments in several states, the ministry is responsible for it, and under normal circumstances, Li Ye will not interfere.

The current process is that, in addition to the matters approved by Li Ye, the six ministries and other yamen are first submitted to the cabinet, and the cabinet agrees and then submits them to Li Ye for approval before they can take effect.

。。。。。。

Just when the imperial court's decree on personnel appointments arrived in Qingzhou, Wang Shifan sent someone to send a handwritten letter.

"Jie Shuai, what did this Wang Shifan thank in the letter?"

Zhang Chan asked curiously.

Cui Anqian said disdainfully, "Wang Shifan said that he was willing to submit to the imperial court, and he would retreat in Denglai Erzhou in the future, hoping that we would not attack him." ”

"This little thief has a good plan, he wants to divide Ziqing into two, and he thinks it's quite beautiful." was appointed by the imperial court as the deputy envoy of Ziqing, Zhang Chan is now full of official authority, and naturally he will not take Wang Shifan in his eyes.

"Jie Shuai, the last general is willing to lead the troops to pacify Denglai Erzhou, and mention Wang Shifan to see him." Huo Cun asked for battle.

"Huo Tingshi is a little restless. Now that His Majesty has ordered Ben Shuai to form the Pinglu Army, and the Taining Army has returned to the garrison, it is not appropriate to move troops in a short time. After the Pinglu Army is formed, the commander must personally conquer and level the two states of Denglai. Cui An said with a smile.

Hearing Cui Anqian's words, Huo Cun felt a little lost in his heart.

Obviously, Cui Anqian was guarding against him, and he didn't want him to sit big because of this.

The other party not only guarded against him, but also guarded against Zhu Zhen, so he took out a lot of grain and grass from the treasury ten days ago and sent away the Taining army led by Zhu Zhen.

Nearly 20,000 Taining troops are staying in Qingzhou, and the person who leads the troops is still the old Xuanwu department, so it is strange that Cui An has the potential to feel at ease.
