Yan Xing asked Pei Qian about the chaos in Chang'an, not without reason.

Since Li Wei annexed Guo Yan's garrison and the remnants of the army, his strength has expanded, and Sanfu has just received summer grain, and the military food has also been alleviated.

Regarding the information about Chang'an, Hedong has always obtained it through the channels of the Pei family.

Pei Qian groaned for a while, and said a little heavily:

"Since the failure of Ma Teng's army, Li Dao has suppressed the Son of Heaven, insulted the ministers, the three princes are all false, the children of the Li family are all over the court, and they indulge the soldiers, plundering the market, Chang'an City, the feet of the Son of Heaven are not safe, and the place outside the city is not safe."

There was a glint in Yan Xing's eyes, and he continued to ask:

"I heard that Wen He served in Shangshutai, and his governance won the hearts of the people of Guan Sergeant, I heard that he had recovered his affection a long time ago, with him, how could the matter of Guanzhong be chaotic in this situation?"

"Although Wen Hegong reinstated, he no longer served in Shangshutai, and served as a counselor in the court, and it was difficult to seek his own government."

After listening to Pei Qian's words, Yan Xing did not ask again, but based on this information, he gently tapped the case table in front of him with his fingers, thinking about the current situation in Guanzhong.

Now that Guo Yan is dead, Li Dao is the dominant family in Guanzhong, and the situation is a little better than in the past, plus since Ma Teng raised his troops, the deep-seated contradictions between the Xiliang Army and the Chang'an court have also surfaced, and Li Dao's attitude towards the Son of Heaven and courtiers will naturally not be as respectful and restrained as when he first entered Chang'an.

Politically, Li Dao took charge of the government and arbitrarily installed cronies, the children of the Li family were all over the court, and the courtiers headed by the three dukes were reduced to decorations; Militarily, the Xiliang army was no longer polite to the ministers of the court and the famous clans in Guanzhong, and the sergeants who let go of the shackles were grandiosely robbed and plundered in Chang'an City.

Under the blow of this kind of tough measures, Jia Xu, who originally advocated leniency and virtuous government and won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, was also idle: although he was relieved of his mother's mourning and became an official again, he was not able to join Shangshutai, but turned to a noble and idle position such as advising doctors.

Heaven wants it to die, and it will make it mad. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Xiliang Army led by Li Dao continues to act perversely like this and collapses.

It's just that after the successive battles in Hedong, its own strength has also been seriously damaged, and it is currently more than self-preservation, and it is not enterprising enough, if Li Wei's Xiliang army will soon collapse, it will be difficult for Hedong to have enough strength to grab the fruits of victory.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing was also thinking, next, should he send more spies into Guanzhong.

The Pei family's channel, before that, has always been the most accurate and fastest way to obtain information from Chang'an.

However, after Yan Xing and Li Dao completely tore their faces, Pei Mao, who was an official in Chang'an, was soon implicated because he was Yan Xing's wife, and was ordered by the suspicious Li Dao to take his post and go to prison, and be beheaded for his crimes.

If it weren't for the edict of the Son of Heaven, the courtiers led by the three dukes came forward as a guarantee, and Pei Mao himself had tried unjust prisons in Chang'an, and there were countless living people, which won the hearts of the people of Guan, and under the surging public opinion, Li Wei had to suspend his crime, but I was afraid that Pei Mao would really be difficult to escape.

But although he escaped, Pei Maoren is still in prison, which is why Pei Qian's face was heavy just now.

In the past, the channels of the Pei family would definitely be greatly affected in the future, and Yan Xing did not want his wife to be killed on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, so it was urgent to establish a new channel to obtain information about Chang'an.

In particular, in the future, when using troops in Guanzhong, clear and accurate information will bring more help to the soldiers and horses in Hedong.

Yan Xing was thinking about the channels for obtaining information about Chang'an in his heart, and Pei Qian on the other side gradually recovered from his heavy emotions, he saw Yan Xing's face contemplative, thinking that Yan Xing was also brought up by himself, so he hurriedly eased the atmosphere, and asked with a smile about his newly-born nephew.

Speaking of his own heir, Yan Xing also restrained his thoughts, and replied with a smile, with more smiles on his face.

The foundation of Hedong has begun to take shape, and there are successors to him, and there is indeed nothing more pleasant than this.

Last month, Yan Xing's wife and concubines Pei Shu and Lu Yue gave birth to two baby boys for themselves, and Yan Xing named the baby boy born to Pei Shu, that is, his eldest son, "Tong", and the baby boy born to Lu Yue, and his third son named "Chang".

Perhaps influenced by his previous life, Yan Xing's naming of his heirs more contained his expectations for them as a new father.

For Pei Shu's eldest son, he was named "Tong". Although Yan Xing did not say it explicitly, in his heart, he had high hopes for this son who was still in his mother's womb and had already experienced a dangerous battle to defend the city, and followed Pei Shu to walk on the city wall.

I hope that he can grow up safely, grow into a talent, and then be able to inherit his successful or unfinished business, or unify the troubled times, or unify the four directions, and finally set the world into one.

For the son born to Lu Yue, Yan Xing named him "Chang". It is taken from "Xi Youchang Chu" in "The Book of Songs: National Style".

There are branches. The Wowo of the Dead, the Ignorance of the Fun!

Yan Xing's expectation for this son is very simple, that is, he hopes that he can thrive like Chang Chu and grow up carefree.

Yan Xing and Lu Yue know each other in the grass, and the relationship between the two is also the purest, the sons of the two of them, between their identities, in the future, he will not be like Yan Tong, who was born in the same month as him, so Yan Xing's expectations for him are also very simple.

Just like Yan Xing named Zhang Rui and his son "Shuo", the original meaning was also very simple, just hoping that this child would not be as weak as his mother, but would be able to grow up healthy and strong, and would not die prematurely for various reasons like many babies of the same age in this era.

Speaking of his offspring and his mother, the conversation and laughter in the room gradually increased.

Just talking and laughing, Yan Xing still remembered the things in Chang'an, although many of the originally familiar things have changed, he still has a hunch:

Li Dao's perverse actions chased Dong Zhuo directly, but his control over the Xiliang Army was far inferior to Dong Zhuo, who created the current Xiliang Army.

Perhaps the contradictions in Chang'an City are not only the contradictions between the courtiers of the Son of Heaven and the Xiliang army.

···

In the city of Chang'an, the palace of the general of Anxi.

In the secret room of Yang Ding's mansion, Yang Ding and Dong Cheng sat according to the case, the wine and meat on the table were not touched, and they were placed on the dining table, while Song Guo paced anxiously in front of the two, constantly walking around, and said:

"I have heard people say, 'When you are interrupted, you will suffer from the chaos', which is the current situation, two generals, the situation is so urgent today, can you really not make up your mind?"

Hearing Song Guo's complaining voice, Yang Ding subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Cheng in front of the case, and it happened that Dong Cheng, who was five big and three thick, also glanced at him restrainedly at this time, and the eyes of the two intertwined in mid-air for a while, and then they consciously separated.

In the end, Yang Ding coughed awkwardly and responded to the complaining Song Guo.

"This matter is very important, it is related to the lives of you and me, young and old, and the sons and daughters under your command, you can't be hasty, you still need to think long-term, and have a perfect strategy before you can act!"

Although Yang Ding has always been worried about Li Dao's secret killer methods, but now let him take the lead in raising troops and unite with other generals in the army who are not subject to the rule of the Li family, plus his relatives on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Fu Wan, and some courtiers, to destroy Li Dao together, but he is pushing back and hesitating.

After all, he is already pampered and in a high position, and he has to look ahead and backward when making any major decisions, fantasizing about a perfect strategy, unlike Song Guo, just a small general in the army, and he can't wait to take this opportunity to climb another high branch and jump a few more steps on the ladder of power.

Hearing that Yang Ding was about to shirk again, unwilling to be the head of the generals in the army, Song Guo raised his eyebrows, and immediately jumped up.

originally thought that coming to Yang Ding's mansion today for a secret conversation would definitely be able to contribute to this great achievement of being a waiting general, but Yang Ding hesitated again, not at all like a Liangzhou lord who licked blood with a knife.

If it weren't for his lack of prestige in the army, and Yang Ding's command was the one with the most soldiers and horses in the army except for the Li family, Song Guo would have kicked Yang Ding away a long time ago, and he would have gone to decide the matter of the incident with his relatives and courtiers.

But this time Song Guo didn't have time to jump, Yang Ding talked leisurely:

"Actually, Jia Wenhe has the style of an elder, and he is resourceful, and he is convinced by the soldiers in the army, but now he is alienated by Li Dao, if the generals push him as the leader, maybe he will be more sure."

"Otherwise, although Jia Wenhe is resourceful, but he is not in charge of soldiers and horses, how can he control everyone to rise up, the general is known to be majestic in the army, and at this time, everyone must nominate the general as the leader!"

Song Guo was a little impatient with Yang Ding's shirk, and immediately refuted his suggestion.

It's just that at this time, I thought of something, and immediately added:

"However, although Jia Wenhe cannot be the head of everyone, he is a friend and not an enemy to those who cause trouble such as us, and maybe he can help me and others at a critical time."

Hearing Song Guo mysteriously say such an assertion, not only the sleek and sophisticated Yang Ding moved his color, but even Dong Cheng, who had been silent, also raised his spirit, and couldn't help but say in a loud voice:

"What do you say?"

"Hey, hey." Song Guo saw that the two of them had really been attracted to him, and immediately smiled proudly and said:

"Do the two generals know that the Qianghu cavalry under Li Dao's command has dispersed and fled recently, and is no longer used by Li Dao?"

"Could it be that this is Jia Wenhe's plan?"

Dong Cheng had already spoken, so he naturally couldn't help but ask again. Seeing this, Song Guo smiled and replied with a smile:

"Exactly, this matter is very confidential, and only a few people know about it, but the two generals don't need to suspect this is a lie, just imagine who in the army can make those mercenary Qiang Hu fall apart in just a few days, flee away, and no longer be used by Li Dao."

After listening to Song Guo's words, Dong Cheng thought about it, and the expression on his face immediately became richer.

"Qianghu's ride dispersed, and Li Dao cut off his arm. If, as Song Sima said, coupled with Jia Wen and his secret assistance, then it would not be difficult to succeed if he was afraid of raising troops! ”

"Haha, what the general has seen!"

Seeing that Dong Cheng and Song Guo were more and more happy, Dong Cheng, who originally wanted to follow him and watch the changes, also became more and more co-opted by Song Guo, the immediate action faction, and the sleek and sophisticated Yang Ding suddenly became anxious, and he said sternly:

"Although there are many children of the Li family, they can be captured in one battle, but don't forget, there is still one person under Li Dao, who can be called a great enemy!"
