When the morning dawn first appeared, the heavens and the earth were still in a haze, and a group of knights broke through the morning mist from the west, and called for the city gate to go straight to the line.

In the barracks inside and outside the city, the smoke rises from the cooking, just waiting for the morning feast.

Di Renjie woke up early, and it seemed that he had recovered, the old fox was used to the ups and downs of life and death, and he didn't worry too much about Di Chun.

Before using the eel, after walking a few steps in the back garden, I saw Zhang Huan hurriedly looking for it: "Pavilion Lao, Xue Jichang, the envoy of Hebei Province, asks to see him!" ”

"Xue Jichang?" His brows furrowed slightly, and he turned around and ordered: "Lead him to the second hall later!" ”

Zhang Huan was ordered to go, Di Renjie was still puzzled, and his old eyebrows were condensed: "This Xue Jichang, do you still want to come to supervise my army?" ”

At the beginning, when the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Khitan were fighting, Xue Jichang was appointed as the envoy of Hebei Province and went north to patrol the army. Several generals and lieutenants led by Xia Guanlang Zhonghou Wuxu trumpeted that the Khitan had divine help and the tiger and poisonous snake were leading, so it was unstoppable, and there was a big defeat, which greatly damaged the morale of the army.

Xue Ji Changzhi was ruthless, and ordered the accompanying heavenly soldiers to arrest Hou Wuxu and others, and according to the momentum of thunder, he was directly beheaded on the charge of "evil words and rebellion". In a short period of time, the army was shocked.

Di Renjie didn't have much of a good impression of Xue Jichang, this person was a utilitarian drill camp in his eyes. But for Xue's sharp disposal methods, he still silently praised it in his heart.

Entering the hall with Li Yuanfang, he saw Xue Jichang dressed in a scarlet suit, waiting for him.

"Xiaguan meets the elder!" Xue Jichang respectfully saluted Di Fatpang.

raised his hand and signaled, seeing that Xue Jichang's body was very weathered, and he didn't talk nonsense, he asked straight to the point: "I heard that Xue envoy Yu Yu and Mo inspected the military and politics of Hebei and hurried north to Lulong, what's the matter?" Could it be that under Di Mou, what situation has reached the ears of Xue Envoy? ”

"The old man is serious!" Xue Jichang didn't drag the mud and water, and took out a wax pill from his sleeve: "Xia Guan is just passing on the message for others." ”

"Oh? Who? While twisting the wax pills, he asked.

"Jiujiang County Gong!" Xue Jichang replied: "In addition, Yuan Gong told you to be vigilant against ......."

The surprise on his face was even heavier, and after reading the letter from Yuan Hui, he suddenly turned around, habitually paced a few steps, and sighed: "The emperor sent Yuan Hui to Jizhou, and the land of the Zhanghe River can be safe!" ”

Seeing that Di Renjie's tone was very relaxed, Li Yuanfang was also interested, and asked in surprise: "What is written in the letter?" ”

"If there is an abnormal movement in Jizhou, it must be the snake spirit behind the push, if you don't notice, a big rebellion that swept Hebei Province broke out, right now." Di Renjie said lightly the words that made Li and Xue's expressions change greatly.

"What!" Yuan Fang was stunned, but seeing Di Fatpang's mentally prepared appearance, he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is going on?" ”

After a few steps in front of the two, Di Renjie recounted slowly: "When I was still in the Shendu, I learned that the snake spirit rebels were playing a conspiracy behind their backs, so I suspected what their real purpose was. Bringing the Khitan into the Kou is a temporary victory, but if you want to use the army of a clan and a corner of the land to cause trouble in the entire Great Zhou world, it is really a fool's dream. ”

"Even if there is a great victory in the East Kip Stone Valley, even if Sun Wanrong's strength is right now, even if he breaks through the Youji defense line and breaks into the heart of Hebei, he will only be wiped out by the imperial army!"

"Unless, they have an internal response!" Di Fat raised his index finger: "Previously, a partial Khitan division could break through Jizhou, kill and assassinate history, and the local soldiers and horses were not in a hurry, if there was divine help." At that time, I suspected that there was something wrong with Jizhou, and secretly warned the emperor to be vigilant! ”

"Before going north, I suggest that the emperor should send someone to secretly investigate and deal with it. Now, the letter from Yuan Hui is even more convinced that the real backhand of the snake spirit is the rebellion in the heart of Hebei! Di Renjie's expression became more serious: "Here in Pingzhou, I'm afraid it's just a cover to attract the attention of the court and me." If Sun Wanrong comes back and the Hebei rebels suddenly rise, the situation in the entire north will be out of control, and it will be a great rebellion even worse than that of Xu Jingye back then......"

After listening to Di Chubby's explanation, Li Yuanfang and Xue Jichang were completely stunned, staring at each other to digest this terrifying information. Xue Jichang's brain was naturally more flexible, his eyes turned around twice, revealing a shrewd expression, put away his shocked expression, and said, "If it is as the elder said, it is really terrifying!" ”

"Who would have thought that behind this matter, there would be such a monstrous conspiracy!" Li Yuanfang took a deep breath: "This group of rebels is really bold!" ”

"But......" After thinking for a while, Xue Jichang raised his eyes and glanced at Di Renjie: "If you want to set off a big rebellion in Hebei, you can't do it recklessly. The snake spirit, has this energy? ”

"They have this energy!" Seeing Xue Jichang's suspicions, Di Renjie definitely said: "According to Yuanhui's letter, Hebei Prefectures, I don't know how many officials are involved with it, and I don't know how many people have made up their minds to rebel!" ”

"The situation is so critical?" Xue Jichang lost his voice.

"Yuan Hui's words, it shouldn't be adulterated!" Di Renjie nodded.

"But my lord, why can the snake spirit rebel against the party, how can so many officials be rebellious?" At this time, Li Yuanfang suddenly asked.

There was some unspeakable emotion on his face, and the old fox could probably guess some reason. The people who made the rebellion, except for some careerists, most of them are probably the "Zhongliang" of the Li clan who revived the Tang Dynasty.

Without answering Li Yuanfang's question, Di Renjie raised his eyes to look south and said steadily: "Now, it is the top priority to completely destroy the conspiracy of the snake spirit and eliminate the chaos!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang immediately said: "In the war in western Liaoning, the imperial court has transferred a large number of military forces from Hebei Province, and now it is empty, if there is a change, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down for a while!" My lord, when you send troops south from Youyan to prepare, you can press at any time! ”

"General Li is too nervous!" Before Di Renjie could speak, Xue Jichang spoke up, calmly attracting the attention of the two: "Immediately prosperous, the four seas will be peaceful, and if you go against the party, if you are surprised, you can still stir up some waves." If the matter is not secret, it will be defeated, and now the imperial court has noticed its abnormality, and sent the Yuan Public Power to Jizhou, as long as the symptoms are prepared, what can be done against the party? According to the lower officials, Yuan Gong is only afraid that he will be prepared for emergencies as soon as possible, and there may be a temporary rebellion in Hebei, but it will definitely be extinguished in a short time! ”

Listening to Xue Jichang's eloquent conversation, Di Renjie glanced at him in surprise and sighed: "According to the inspection, the vision is unique, in one word." Yuan Hui asked you to send the letter, entrusted to his people! ”

His eyes were slightly condensed, and with Xue Jichang's shrewdness, he had already understood Yuan Langjun's intention to ask him to send the letter. This is clearly an opportunity for him to participate in it and make contributions!

Di Renjie touched his beard, thought about it for a while, and said, "According to the inspector, you should inspect Lu Long's army, and then return to Youzhou." With my order, together with Zhang Jiujie, the defender of Danzhou, the soldiers and horses moved south, and prepared for counterinsurgency. Once something happens in the hinterland, go south quickly! ”

"Yes!" Xue Jichang replied, for some reason, he was looking forward to the arrival of the rebellion at this time.

"Hmm......" After a slight groan, Di Renjie instructed Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, send someone to pass on the letter to Yuanhui, and I will deal with the Khitan in the land of Youyan, Jizhou, but he will bear it!" ”

"Two, this morning's discussion, be sure to keep it a secret!"

"The lowly (subordinate official) understands!"
