It turned out that after Yunxi set off from the capital on the second day of October, in order to arrive in Xuzhou as soon as possible, he did not take a boat over, but rushed over from Pukou, so he arrived in Xuzhou today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Xi saw them saluting, first walked a few steps away from the place with the most smoke and dust, and then said to the two of them: "Now that the army is out, why be polite, the two Aiqing, please get up." ”

Then Tao Wen and Tang Quan stood up and went to the camp with Yun Xi.

Yun Xi soon came to the camp, and after saluting Cao Zhen and the others, he didn't talk nonsense, and said to them: "How is the situation now? ”

Cao Zhen said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news today, the vanguard army of 30,000 led by Lan Yu and Zhu Jiye arrived in Yanzhou yesterday, and it should have set off for Tai'an today. ”

"Tomorrow Chen led the rest of the 40,000 men of the former army to the north, and after arriving in Yanzhou, he divided his troops into a feint attack on Dongpingzhou, and the main force went to Tai'an to attack Jinan."

"The right army led by Zhu Shou in the east can land in Laizhou on the eighth day of the first month, and it can attack Qingzhou on the tenth day after two days of repair. Most of the remnants of Qingzhou's Cheng Rebellion did not expect a large army to attack from Denglai, and as long as they were properly commanded, they should be able to capture Qingzhou. ”

In addition, according to the information obtained by the minister, His Royal Highness King Yan did not raise an anti-flag, but led the soldiers of King Yan's three guards to the south in the name of pacifying the rebellion. The news we got was sent from Tongzhou on September 30, and it is estimated that we have now reached Jinghai and even Cangzhou. ”

"Cangzhou City is not small, if it is besieged by a large army, I am afraid that it will not be able to be defeated in half a month. However, if King Yan opened the city gate, then it would be dangerous. On the way from Cangzhou to Jinan, only Dezhou is an important town that can be defended, but now Dezhou has been occupied by Chengyi. ”

"Your Majesty, the use of soldiers has always been to prepare for the worst. Therefore, after discussing with the Marquis of Huining, he felt that it seemed that he was now ready to join the army of King Yan and Chengyi. ”

"Therefore, after the ministers and others discussed, it was decided to let Cao Xing lead the three guards of the Zhou Dynasty to the north to enter the Daimyo's Mansion, enter the Zhending Mansion, and surround them from the west."

"As long as Lan Zhen's advance goes smoothly, even if he fails to defeat Jinan, as long as he can surround Jinan, he can prevent the rebels from taking all of Hebei Shandong, and when the army led by His Majesty arrives and defeats Jinan, even if he is not completely annihilated, his vitality can be greatly damaged, and the rest of the army can only be pressed back to Hebei after converging with the Yan Wang's department."

"In this way, the rebels will be confined to Hebei and prevent the poison from spreading." After that, it was a big battle with King Yan in Hebei, but there was no need to say it.

Yun Xi listened to Cao Zhen's plan and was not too satisfied. He hoped that the rebellion would be put down as soon as possible, and that it would not be delayed for as long as possible. However, according to Cao Zhen's plan, at most this year, the pacification of Shandong, which is located south of the Daqing River, will be difficult to use on a large scale in the following winter months, and even if everything goes well, the rebellion will be quelled in the summer and autumn of next year at most.

But Zhu Di is also everyone's use of troops, Cao Zhen and Zhang Wen do not dare to speak lightly of victory or defeat, and the war can easily drag on until Jianye for three years.

So after listening to Cao Zhen's words, Yun Xi looked at the map and pondered, and then said: "What if you let the guards of Shan Se attack Beiping?" ”

Zhang Wen said: "Your Majesty, the largest army of Mountain Se is the army under the jurisdiction of King Jin, but ......"

Zhang Wen didn't say the rest of the words, but Yun Xi also understood what he meant. Let the prince send troops, what if the king of Jin Jixi also rebels in the end? They don't dare to take that responsibility.

If Li Xin is allowed to command the troops of the Shan Se Capital Division, it will take a lot of time just to appease the King of Jin and rectify the guards.

Yun Xi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "With Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, as the commander, and Li Xin, the commander of the capital of the Mountain Se Division, as the deputy commander, he will lead the army of the Mountain Se to the east of Baoding Mansion. ”

In history, Ji Xi did not follow Zhu Di to rebel, and the relationship between Ji Xi and Zhu Di was not very good, Yun Xi still chose to trust Ji Xi.

"In addition," Yun Xi continued, "there are as many as 70,000 in the front army, 40,000 in the right army, and there are 1230,000 troops in the second mansion of Denglai. Even if the troops were divided to guard the places, there would still be an army of 100,000. After the right army broke through Qingzhou, so many people besieged Jinan, and they still couldn't beat it? How many troops can Cheng Rebellion and King Yan mobilize in total. Do you still need to get the 80,000 army of the Chinese army? ”

Cao Zhen said: "Your Majesty, if the right army does not progress well, or if there is any accident at sea, then the tens of thousands of people in the front army alone are not enough. ”

Cao Zhen and Zhang Wen did not fail to take this situation into account, but they are now old and use the army at the head of the no-fault group, so they will not use risky plans.

Yun Xi turned his head and understood their thoughts, so Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about accidents, just specify a plan on the premise that the right army will successfully break through Qingzhou." ”

"The Chinese army did not have to attack Jinan, and it was difficult to cross the river along the Yellow River to the Daimyofu and enter the Hejian Mansion. The three guards of the king of Yan must go south to converge with the Chengyi, and the city of Hejian Mansion is not blocked from the south of Beiping to the place where it must pass through Shandong, and now the king of Yan does not have time to attack the counties in all directions, and he will definitely be able to control the west of Hejian Mansion. ”

"After that, it doesn't matter if it's east or north, it's fine."

Cao Zhen immediately understood what Yun Xi meant: "Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the opportunity of King Yan to go south, lock him up in this place from Cangzhou to Dezhou, cut off his connection with Beiping City, and put down the rebellion as soon as possible." ”

Cao Zhen and Zhang Wen glanced at each other, and then Cao Zhen said, "Then the ministers will change the plan according to His Majesty's orders." "Since Yun Hee's plan has no loopholes, just some risks, then they won't go against Yun Hee's intentions.

Yun Xi continued: "Combine the army led by Cao Xing with the Chinese army and hand them all over to Xu Huizu to command. ”

Then Yun Xi said to Xu Huizu: "I have handed over more than 100,000 troops to you to command, Xu Qing, you have to command well." ”

Xu Huizu was very moved. The identity of their Xu family is special, and no one has ever been a close minister in Yunxi's domain, so Yunxi handed over an army of more than 100,000 troops to him to command, which can really be said to be very trusting.

Therefore, Xu Huizu saluted very seriously and said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!" ”

Yun Xi is actually a bit risky, Xu Huizu's ability is obvious to all, but whether he is loyal Yun Xi can only be based on history, although Yun Xi accepts Xu Miaojin as a concubine, but it is not insured.

But now that Yun Xi has made a decision, he will not regret it. Yun Xi said with a smile: "Xu Qing doesn't have to have too much pressure, as long as he is stationed in Hejian Mansion, he has achieved his goal." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Huizu agreed. However, he had already made up his mind in his heart: "We must put down the rebellion as soon as possible." ”

Yun Xi's deployment has been placed, and everyone has no objections, all that remains is to arrange the deployment, so there is no need to continue this time.
