Although the report of the stone does not say anything, it cannot be ignored. Although he killed a lot of people, it was mainly when the streets were quelled that year, although there were several people he killed, although there were also a few families in those who were killed, but they were not a rich and powerful family, and it was impossible to organize forces to do anything unfavorable to themselves. Those big families who have the strength to pose a threat to themselves are quite serious in Yanzhou, once they leave the territory of Yanzhou, they are worthless in a place like Kanto, and neither their influence nor their actual operational ability can reach this point.

Someone who has an enmity with himself...... In addition to the Gao family and other natives of Yanzhou, it is the Tuoba family.

The contradiction between himself and the party members is actually a mixture of national contradictions and national interests, and his own existence is the biggest threat to the party members going south, and after the Northern Expedition in the autumn of this year, this contradiction has gradually escalated, and every child of the Tuoba family hates himself so much that they are about to starve this winter. With the comprehensive strength of the party members, it is undoubtedly quite cost-effective to send some killers and other groups to try to eliminate this big threat of themselves invisibly.

And also...... It's the imperial court.

As the central court, it is also normal to nip an unformed feudal town in the bud.

But......

If you destroy yourself, will you really eliminate the rising Yanzhou Domain?

The biggest difference between the Yanzhou Domain under his leadership and other other feudal towns is that there is no hereditary tradition, and if he dies, there will definitely be a successor in other places. Of course, who will inherit is a big question - at present, there is indeed a lack of prestige and ability in his team to replace his own role, whether it is Shen Chen or Wei Xun, it is far from enough, as for Zhou Zhengyu, who has always existed as his deputy, he may become a compromise result and ascend to the throne of the Jiedu envoy, but his ability is absolutely impossible to really control the army and become a powerful figure.

The most important thing is that Yanzhou lacks a local person who can condense the forces of the civil and military forces and coordinate the relationship between the civil and military forces without itself. It doesn't seem like a difficult job. In fact, if it weren't for his own special background. It's hard to do that even on your own.

Getting rid of oneself may not directly eliminate the new feudal town of Yanzhou, but it may interrupt or even reverse the development process of this feudal town.

From this point of view, the possibility that the court wants to get rid of itself is not impossible, the question is - what benefits can the court get by doing this.

His own death will certainly eliminate an unformed feudal town, but it will also make the newly formed northwest defense system become a mess again, and the party's local threat has just been partially weakened, and he will die. It's time for the imperial court to start having a headache for the Dingyan army again.

If it wants to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou, then the only choice for the imperial court is to get rid of itself after obtaining the consent of the Zhe family. In this way, the Zhe family will take over the defense command of Yanzhou, and the civilian officials will continue to control the local power in Yanzhou, and it is impossible for the Zhejia family, as an outsider, to directly conflict with the civilian officials who represent local interests, so that although Yanzhou has no self, it is reincorporated into the administrative jurisdiction of the imperial court under the mutual restraint of the civil and military sides.

This is a completely reasonable logic, and the problem is that this is the way of looking at the Yanzhou issue from the perspective of the imperial court, not from the perspective of the family. The imperial court may be relatively unfamiliar with the situation in Yanzhou. But Zhe Congruan is no stranger. Zhi Congruan was very aware of the actual situation of the Yanzhou army. He understands the loyalty of this army to him, and he also understands the combat effectiveness of this army. With the 3,000 men and horses of the Folded Family, they will definitely not be able to eat the current Yan'an Regiment and the Xiangbing Regiment. Although Zhi Yuqing has entered his own army system, he is still an outsider, and the military supervision system represented by Wei Xun has always maintained vigilance and hostility towards him, and it is too difficult for him to make any small moves within the army.

Zhi Congruan knew very well that he could not eat Yanzhou, and the infighting between the Zhejia army and the Eighth Route Army directly led to the mutual loss of strength, and it would be difficult to drag the actions of the difficult army, and it would be the old base of the Zhe family that would be threatened in the end. The occupation of Yanzhou by outsiders like the Zhejia family will make the local powerful faction in Guanzhong even more vigilant. Such infighting will not benefit the family, but will only harm its own interests.

At present, the alliance established between himself and the Zhe family is not a loose political alliance established by kinship or friendship, what binds the two sides together is interests, and alliances based on interests will gradually die out only when interests no longer exist. However, as long as the party members are not completely wiped out for a day, Fuzhou will have no sense of security for a day, and this fundamental point of interest will not change, and the family will never destroy the alliance between the two sides.

Without the consent of the Zhe family, the imperial court would not move itself at this time, especially if it did not yet show any significant threat potential. Let a dignified pavilion scholar and the Ministry of Rites to confer it on him, which may be seen as a trick to induce himself to enter Beijing, but people have made it clear, even if they are unwilling to enter Beijing, also

No matter what the problem, it will not affect the emperor's trust in himself. Guo Wei understands the possible concerns and suspicions, that is to say, even if he refuses to enter Beijing, Bianliang will not have any prejudice or distrust of himself because of this.

"It won't be the Imperial Court—"

Han Wei, who was sitting on the side, slowly shook his head and said his opinion.

When he came to pay homage to Yuan Zheng this morning, he was pulled by Li Wenge to help analyze the situation.

After listening to Li Wenge and Kang Shishi's narration, Han Wei didn't ask if the two of them were too nervous and sensitive, after all, there was no other evidence except for the fact that there were a little more people wandering around outside the pavilion gate. Han Wei accepted the instinctive judgment of the two people without hesitation, which is actually a kind of trust, a judgment of the ability of these two people - Li Wenge and Kang Shishi are not people who like to be alarmist, let alone the kind of people who are suspicious and suspicious, this kind of person who killed in front of the two armies has an instinctive intuitive reaction to danger, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

What's more, it doesn't matter if there are more people at the entrance of the pavilion, but it is too strange for this to happen on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ordinary people would have gone home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at this time. Who would be bored and run to the door of the pavilion to hang out?

Kang Shishi arrested two people last night for interrogation, and the result was that both of them were local unemployed vagrants in Shaanzhou, and this time they were arranged by some underworld bigwigs in Shaanzhou to monitor the pavilion here, and it is said that the black boss here is privately doing some black market business selling horses, and the hundred tribute horses they carried by Li Wenge attracted their attention - of course, they didn't know that they were tribute horses.

This explanation is not satisfactory, but the two little thieves undoubtedly don't know much more, which even Kang Shi can confirm, it is impossible for this kind of small character to know too many things. It is entirely possible that they have been taken advantage of and deceived. I couldn't ask for anything more from their mouths.

Han Wei's assertion made Lu Duanwei, who was sitting on the side, feel uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said: "Of course it won't be the imperial court, this kind of ghost trick used to deal with the enemy is a little inferior, let alone used to deal with the ministers of the imperial court?" ”

Han Wei smiled: "...... Brother Yi Zhi said one of the reasons, and the other layer is more direct, doing this on the ground in Shaanzhou, it is impossible for the emperor and Zhongshu not to pass through his father, after all, his father has just been transferred to Kyoto not long ago. Yu Wei is still here, and the officials and generals in Shaanzhou are all brought up by his old man. The imperial court wants to get rid of General Huairen in Shaanzhou, if it is not informed by his father, the people sent will only be afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in Shaanzhou, and there will even be many misunderstandings. If he had informed his father, his father would have informed the foolish brother in advance, and the brother would now live in Yanzhou. General Huairen had an accident in Shaanzhou. Is there still a way for my brother to live? ”

“…… Let's talk ...... again."

He pondered for a while and said, "The other party may not be intent on assassination......

"After all, these people in the surveillance hall have only been surveillance, and they haven't really done anything yet. The other party's current goal does not seem to be to directly assassinate. Instead, it secretly monitors and grasps the general's movements at any time, and although its ultimate goal is difficult to guess, it may not necessarily mean to assassinate. If it is really a party member, then it is unfavorable to the general, if it is a force in other aspects, it is difficult to say, after all, Shaanzhou is not yet the imperial court forces completely control the territory, and the Northern Han Dynasty sent people to move around the territory, and it is not excluded that it is their possibility! ”

Li Wenge accepted his statement, he and Kang Shishi were a little nervous, and the eyeliner of a few surveillance halls reminded him of the assassination operation, which was a bit too much martial arts......

"That Yicheng - there must be a problem!"

Kang Shi said in a deep voice.

Han Wei nodded: "I agree with this escort Rong's opinion, those two little thieves might as well let them go and send a few people to follow them back, but I'm afraid it's difficult to have any results, and the local land snakes may not be such great people, and their knowledge is probably limited." On the contrary, that post man should be closely monitored, and it is not an easy thing to be able to move an eight-rank official, and he is afraid that he will know more things. However, this person has not acted out of the ordinary at present, and he cannot be directly arrested for interrogation, although General Huairen is a feudal town, he always has to leave some face for the imperial court. ”

Li Wenge thought for a long time and said: "Even if he is arrested and interrogated, there is no real evidence, and it is difficult to expect him to speak!" ”

Kang Shishi asked, "How should the lowly position be arranged?" ”

At this time, Lu Duan, who was sitting on the side, said: "The most important thing is to strengthen the protection of the general, whether it is assassinated or not, this is negligent." The general entered Beijing to offer a horse but was assassinated in the Dao, this is a blatant slap in the face of the imperial court, Brother Han, this official wants to send a commanded force from the Shaanzhou regiment to strengthen the general's guard, is it okay? ”

Before Han Wei could answer, Li Wenge had already waved his hand and said: "Yizhi doesn't have to be like this, it's not safe to mobilize the people." This time I entered Beijing, I brought more than 100 cavalry, if these soldiers and horses can not protect me well, no matter how many soldiers will be in vain. There are too many people, they are not under the control of each other, and they cannot trust each other, and they are suspicious and suspicious of each other when they have troubles, which is not beautiful

Han Wei said with a smile on the side: "The general saw it, but Wei thought that it didn't seem necessary to do too much to strengthen the guard!" Tight inside and loose outside is the main point of ......"

"Oh?" Li Wenge's spirit perked up, "Qiren said come and listen!" ”

Han Wei said: "Kang accompanied Rong when he chose Jian'er warriors to be the general's personal guard, and he was ready to block the sword and arrow for the general at any time." But this kind of deployment must be carried out secretly, and on the surface, it is necessary to make a nonchalant attitude, so that the other party feels that there is an opportunity. Now there are enough soldiers under the general's command. Not to mention dealing with the assassins, it is enough to exterminate some thieves who gather in the cottage, and it is a burden to add more troops. If the protection is too tight, the other party will not do anything, and it will be extremely difficult for us to know what the other person is trying to do. Only by opening their mouths and letting them act can we know what the purpose of these people is, so we think slightly. Along the way, the general should be tight inside and loose outside. In this way, you can induce the other party to make a move. in order to determine the purpose and identity of the other party! ”

Li Wenge laughed: "Okay - just follow Qiren's idea!" ”

……

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Wenge and others set off in the snow, left Shaanzhou and rushed to Xiashi County, the distance between the two was not more than 100 miles, Li Wenge and others rushed over in one day on horseback, stayed in Xiashi for one night, and then continued to set off on the road. Walked two and a half days to arrive in Xin'an, that day in Xin'an for a night, people and horses rested for half a day, the first month of the first month of August 1 early morning road, but at noon, it entered the territory of Luoyang County.

Seeing the outline of the towering and tall city in the eastern capital, Lu Duan laughed and said, "Has the general been to Luoyang before?" ”

"Of course I did—" Li Wenge blurted out, regretting it as soon as he said it.

Really. Lu Duan glanced at him in surprise.

Li Wenge touched his nose and explained: "I am from Zhaozhou......"

He has not only been to Luoyang. Eight of the ten years of his 1,000-year military experience were spent in the city of Luoyang, from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. Li Wenge spent almost all of his career as an active career officer in Luoyang.

That's where the unit where he served as deputy head of the division's political department was stationed.

It's a pity that Pi Luoyang is not this Luoyang.

Lu Duan didn't mind, he easily accepted Li Wenge's explanation, and said with a smile: "Luoyang is a good place, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has done everything to repair this city, Wu Zhou and the Later Tang Dynasty have taken this as the capital of the gods, it is rumored that Cheng Tang once built a palace here, Cao Zijian did Luo Shen Fu here, the capital of the millennium, the literary style, since the Tang Dynasty, Jingzhao Chang'an has long since ceased to be the old view, Luoyang is still prosperous, it is really a rare place of scenery......

Li Wenge smiled bitterly: "Prosperity is the same, but the Son of Heaven is unwilling to build the capital here......"

A sentence choked Lu Duan, and he said for a long time: "What the general said is true!" Without the support of Guanzhong, Luoyang is the land of the four wars, and Caoyun is underdeveloped, so it is indeed not the best choice to build a capital here. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled again, and said to Han Wei, who was galloping on the side: "Brother Qiren, have you ever swam in Luoyang?" ”

Han Wei said: "Longmen Cave, Shangyang Palace, have all traveled, after all, it is the old capital of the year before last, although it has declined, the prosperous scenery is still the best in the Central Plains, micro exchanges several times, and also brought wine Tianjin Bridge, it is really a good place to let loose the wreckage!" ”

Lu Duan said lightly: "There is little idle land on the north mountain, and it is full of old tombs of Luoyang people. There are many people in the old tombs, and there is no place to buy them with gold. It's like the Tang Dynasty in the past......"

Li Wenge had heard this poem, and knew that it was a poem by Wang Jianzeng in the Tang Dynasty, so he couldn't help laughing: "Renyun was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in Beipi, and the cemetery in Luoyang is very valuable......"

Lu Duan said with a smile: "Speaking of burial, the Manqing Courtyard in Luoyang is really the burial place of the world's merry and elegant people, and the best place to go in the land of wandering bones......

"Manqingyuan?" Li Wenge couldn't help but be stunned.

Han Wei was suddenly embarrassed and his face turned red, but Kang Shishi and the others had been ignorant since the beginning, and they didn't know what to do at the moment, just staring at a few people talking, but they couldn't understand what they were talking about.

"Yes-" Lu Duan's face was full of intoxication, "I think that when Wuxing Shen Zirou was in his prime, literati and scholars, princes and nobles, all took it as a pleasure to be able to kiss Fangze, that is, to be able to listen to a song of soft intestines under his flower building, and he could have a miraculous effect of March without knowing the taste of flesh, but unfortunately now things have changed, and the soul of Fang does not know what to rely on......"

Li Wenge finally heard something, and just as he was about to ask, Han Wei blushed and explained to Kang Shishi on the side: "Manqing Academy...... It is a very famous green building in Luoyang City......"
