Chapter 680: The Battle of the Captains

Jiang Ning, the latest chapter of the edge idol of the Miyagi Taiji Palace. 【Feii?Text Debut:

Emperor Xiao Ying, Empress Dowager Huang Jiao, and Huang Yuandu, Dong Lancheng, and other important ministers sat in the hall, the air was almost stagnant, and everyone's faces looked very heavy. It's just that God knows what the people are actually thinking.

Two news, one happy and one worried, for Xiao Ying. The good news is that Chang'an City has been captured, and from then on, the Qi army can go directly to the Dasan Pass along the Wei River. The worry is that Xiao Hui died, and now there is no one who can lead the Qi army to continue to attack the city.

Since the start of the war, Xiao Ying and Huang Yuandu have borne tremendous pressure. With the increase in the cost of warfare, the disadvantages of the empty treasury of Daqi and the lack of follow-up gradually appeared. Most of the courtiers saw the wind and steered the rudder. Previously, due to Xiao Juni's insistence and Huang Yuandu's support, the high-level of Daqi overwhelmingly praised the dispatch of troops. However, as time went on, the murmur gradually came out, and later, there were many people who opposed the war.

Now it's okay, Chang'an has been captured, and the road to the west has been opened, but no one has the ability to go west, and the south of Weishui in Guanzhong is almost a long and narrow corridor, easy to attack and difficult to defend, if there is no follow-up means, it has almost become a chicken rib.

Next, the land of Weinan is a burden. In order to avoid this burden, one is to continue to advance westward and capture Dasanguan, and the other is to cross the river to the north and drive Dajin out of Guanzhong. However, it is difficult to do these two things at present, and the only way to do this is to carry this burden and let the Great Qi Western Expeditionary Army stay there.

Regarding this point, Xiao Ying and Huang Yuandu also discussed. At the beginning, he only saw the strategic value of Chang'an's westward and northward attack, but ignored the situation once it was ruled across the river from Dajin. Now, an embarrassing situation has formed, and how to deal with the land of Chang'an has become a difficult problem.

Of course, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is how to fill the power vacuum after the death of Xiao Jun.

"Uncle Wang passed away in Chang'an. His people are loyal, his righteousness is outstanding, his courage is fierce, and I am in pain! With tears in her eyes, she almost burst into tears.

"A drink and a peck, all have a predetermined. Don't cry for the emperor, the prince has been fighting all his life, and he can die on the journey, why not a cause and effect. Huang Jiao's face did not show any sadness, but her expression was indifferent, as if she had seen everything.

"Yes, the prince said in the recital a while ago that he has nothing to wish for, but a horse leather shroud. After the death of Yunyun, he buried his bones in the south, and replaced me in Xijing, the town of Qiyong. This is the luck of our great Qi, and it is also the honor of the royal family. Dong Lancheng's waist is straight, and he speaks impassionedly, which is quite inconsistent with his image of a slightly weak old man.

Huang Yuandu kept his head down and didn't say anything. In fact, he hasn't said a word since he received the news of his death. As an opponent who has been fighting for so many years, Huang Yuandu expected the death of Xiao Juni, however, when the news really came, Huang Yuandu suddenly seemed to have lost something, and he also had a sense of loss.

Since the death of the first emperor Gaozong, Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu have joined forces to control the country for more than ten years. The two went from cooperation to fighting, and finally to cooperation, and eleven years have passed. If Xiao Hui was not terminally ill and hopeless, the two would have cooperated for a longer time, and perhaps by the time the new emperor was in power, the situation would have changed greatly.

Of course, if the cypress wasn't sick, the mentality wouldn't have changed so much. Perhaps, Xiao Hui will not give in to the little emperor so easily, let alone desperately march into Guanzhong, and even die in Chang'an.

Right and wrong, who can tell clearly. Huang Yuandu only knew that the current Daqi finances could no longer support the long-term combat of more than 100,000 soldiers. Even if it can be supported, the next political struggle will make the idea of conquering Hanzhong in the west and then attacking Shu come to naught.

In the palace, Dong Lancheng and other ministers were still chattering, although they were all praising Xiao Jun, but they all showed a strong desire for the post of Tai Lieutenant both openly and secretly. Even Gao Dingshan, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, the governor of Luoyang Pass, did not hesitate to praise and praise himself in the recital.

Huang Yuandu didn't think about reaching out. He knew that even if he stretched out his hand, it would be in vain, even if it was his daughter Huang Jiao, he would not agree to hand over the position of Tai Lieutenant to someone close to Huang Yuandu. For example, if the Duwei Army controls Huang Feng, there is no chance.

On the first day of Layue, the court meeting was full of arrangements for the funeral of the juniper, and no one dared to touch the mold, and took the initiative to compete for the position of Taiwei or the governor of Tokyo Pass.

In the end, the funeral of Xiao Jun was not completely carried out in accordance with his last wishes, but sent people to Chang'an in person to welcome the coffin back to Jiangning and be buried in the Dragon Tomb in the west of the city. Longling is located at the western foot of Niushou Mountain, and is the royal tomb selected after the establishment of power in Daqi. The name "Dragon Tomb" was given by Taizu Xiaolong. Now, three generations of emperors Taizu, Taizong and Gaozong have been buried there, and other members of the royal family of the direct lineage, as well as meritorious civil and military generals, some are also buried there.

Xiao Hui said that he had entered the ancestral tomb, but it was just a feeling in his heart. In fact, Xiao Jun was not only able to enter the ancestral tomb, but also got the nickname of "Wu Mu" at the insistence of the little emperor, which can be regarded as the highest honor of a military general.

Chang'an set up a mound of cypress. The last armor that Xiao Song wore in front of the Western Xia Palace will be buried at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and even the rare BMW will be killed and buried.

The funeral of the juniper is extremely complicated, but the Ministry of Rites specializes in handling these, and it is not panicked.

The death of Xiao Jun triggered a wave of mourning among literati and writers. No matter what he had done, his death on the way was enough to inspire the literati to create. Especially at the last moment, the Qi army was able to capture Chang'an, and Xiao Hui was also a success. Then it is even more worth writing about. Back then, Zhuge Wuhou "died before leaving the division, and the hero was full of tears", not to mention that the juniper had already succeeded.

Under the depiction of the literati, the death of Xiao Jun has many legends. A bedridden and comatose prince finally suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Xixia Palace "in good spirits", shouted three times and then died suddenly, this event itself was specially designed to provide material for the god-making movement.

For a time, everyone in Jiangning City and even the entire Daqi was talking about Xiao Jun, and everyone was praising his story. It is similar to the death of the handsome Han Zhong a few years ago, but Han Zhong died unjustly in prison, and he did not enjoy such a grand honor.

Xiao Hui and Han Zhong are both heroes that people talk about, and no one has investigated how the former killed the latter in the first place.

Politicians in the maelstrom of power do not have the leisure and leisure of ordinary people. In fact, before the news of Xiao Hui's death reached Jiangning, someone took action. After all, Xiao Jun's illness in the military has always been the focus of attention of politicians. It's just that before Xiao Hui died, the politicians were just covering it up and being so blatant.

Now that the cypress is indeed dead, politicians can finally be confident and bold in tandem. In front of Huang Yuandu's Prime Minister's Mansion, there were more Wenchen military generals who came to visit than in the past. Liang Shouxin, the governor of customs, and Lei Mingjue, the governor of Caoyun, who had close contacts with the prime minister, secretly came to Huang Yuandu's side to take a walk around and ask about the next change.

Huang Yuandu knew that neither of them could go further, and even the more powerful governor of the border pass could not get it. In Daqi, whether it is Cao Yun or sea transportation, it is all based on the foundation of the original Jiangnan family. The border army is from the northern team led by the original Taizu and Taizong. The unique north-south boundary of Great Qi also made Huang Jiao and the little emperor have to consider when they are deployed.

Of course, Huang Yuandu, as the son of the queen mother, the emperor's maternal grandfather, and the prime minister of the dynasty, can still feel a little bit of the meaning in the palace. If nothing else, Daqi will add a Xijing Pass. The governor of Xijingguan will be the current Jiangning City Guard to control Yang Zhen, and Yang Zhen will have to resist the banner of the marshal of the expedition to the west. Gao Dingshan was reappointed as the governor of Tokyo Seki. Tokyo Pass has always been the head of the northern passes of Daqi, which was originally held by Xiao Juni, and Gao Dingshan held this position, which can be regarded as a reward.

Guan Bi will be the governor of Luoyang Pass, and Xiao Dingguo will be reappointed as the envoy of the soldiers and horses on the right side of Shandong Road. As for Xin Qiji, who was the first to break through the pass and made meritorious contributions, he will be appointed as the soldier and horse envoy on the left side of Xijing Pass. The other outstanding generals have all obtained positions in Xijing Pass, although this position has been improved compared to the original, but it also determines that they will stay in Guanzhong, and they are always ready to set their sights on Dasanguan.

For the center of Daqi, the appointment of these border generals is all "minutiae", and the key is the appointment of the city guard commander, the secretary of the military department, and the appointment of the three posts of taiwei, which has not been decided for a long time. Among them, the Tai Lieutenant is generally the secretary of the military department, and is regarded as the supreme leader of the military. The post of commander of the city guard army is generally appointed by the lieutenant. The city guard army is the backbone of the defense of Jiangning City, as the supreme commander of the Great Qi army, he always has to nominally control an army by his side, and the command of the city guard army is naturally to replace the person who the captain likes.

As time progressed, around the tenth day of the lunar month, things gradually came to an eyebrow. Dong Lancheng, the former right attendant of the military department, and Qiao Zhenchuan, the governor of Shandong Road, both intend to get involved in the post of captain. Both have their strengths. Qiao Zhenchuan has been at the border for a long time, and he knows the main opponent of Daqi, Jin Jun, very well, and he is more mature than Dong Lan in actual military affairs. All in all, experienced. Dong Lancheng has lived under the leadership of Xiao Hui for a long time, and he is in the military and political center, so he has a better grasp of the overall situation. He and Qiao Zhenchuan are two people, and no one can say who is better.

For the appointment of these two people, the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor were also difficult to decide for a while. Someone suggested that the two of them should be one captain and the other should be in charge of the city guards, which is of course not good. If Taiwei can't even command the city guards in Jiangning City, it will be even more difficult to convince the public.

Huang Yuandu was also summoned to the palace by Huang Jiao and the little emperor to discuss opinions, but Huang Yuandu himself was also very difficult. Dong Lancheng and Qiao Zhenchuan turned out to be more loyal to Xiao Hui and had no deep friendship with Huang Yuandu. Even objectively speaking, Huang Yuandu couldn't make up his mind who to help speak.

Just when Huang Yuandu was also choosing a staff officer for the captain, his brother-in-law and head of the Bao family, Bao Zhiqing, came and said something that surprised Huang Yuandu.
