In the event of a rebellion, the suppression of the rebellion is a matter of urgency. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Privy Council has already made arrangements for the immediate dispatch of troops and the implementation of the Privy Council, as long as they are approved by the Prime Ministers and the Emperor.

But at the court meeting of the Vertical Arch Palace, Fan Zhongyan immediately raised a concern after asking relevant questions.

The Guanghua rebellion was true in Xiangyang, but it had spread to Shangzhou in the upper reaches of the Han River, and across the Qinling Mountains to the north was Jingzhaofu (Guanzhong).

Jingzhao Mansion Shaanxi Fourth Road is the forefront of the fight against Western Xia, Li Yuanhao is a person with an extremely keen sense of smell, once he learns that there is a rebellion in the Song Realm, he will not be moved.

Although so many silver coins and silk tea have been sent, these are definitely not enough to completely satisfy Li Yuanhao's hungry wolf.

He will not let go of any opportunity to send Da Song to tear off the flesh, if the news of Da Song's internal rebellion spreads, who knows if there will be another army to make trouble?

Fan Zhongyan saw this first, so he immediately put forward a request to Xuanfu Shaanxi Road, and guarding against Western Xia was not only for a while, but also a long-term project. In addition to this, it was also to prevent the rebellion from spreading to Gyeongzhao Province.

Preparedness is needed, and counterinsurgency is the first priority.

The Privy Council is directly responsible for arranging related matters, and Du Yan of the Privy Council is very busy, and the dispatch of troops will be a very troublesome master.

In the end, which general is up to the task, and which troops and horses are dispatched to encircle and suppress, where to march from, and how many people will need to be planned in detail.

In view of the division of the former Tang Dynasty and the dictatorship of military generals, the Great Song Dynasty was particularly strict in this regard, and the Privy Council's right to transfer troops must be cautious.

Everything else is okay, but there is no suitable candidate for the main general of the counterinsurgency for a while.

The so-called suitability, in addition to its own suitability, must have some other factors, even if Du Yan is a righteous person, sometimes there is a lot to consider.

But to his surprise, when he was worried, someone actually recommended himself.

Cao Yi, the defense envoy of Runan, who had returned to Tokyo to visit relatives, suddenly came to the door and expressed his desire to immediately rush back to the front line and lead the army to quell the rebellion.

This result is somewhat surprising!

There are not many people who are willing to deal with the mess of rebellion, especially the children of the generals who have always liked to make a stable profit, and there are few cases where they take the initiative to ask for help to go to the front.

Cao Yi is now unusual, and she is a little surprised by her initiative.

And Cao Yi's identity is very special, the grandson of the founding general Cao Bin, the son of Jiangmen, and the cousin of the current queen, such a person invited himself to quell the rebellion.

Is Cao Yi suitable? Du Yan must have thought about it, but compared to this question, whether he can refuse or not is the bigger question.

Moreover, it does not seem to be a matter of responsibility.

The Privy Council needs to be cautious in appointing a certain general, but now that Cao Yi is taking the initiative to ask for help, it is naturally not good to refuse directly with at least a passion for the country.

In addition, Cao Yi's identity is special, so Du Yan pushed the boat down the river and handed Cao Yi's invitation to the palace and handed it over to His Majesty the Emperor.

When Zhao Zhen received the recital, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his expression was as usual, as if he had penetrated everything.

Last night, the news reached Tokyo, and today the Privy Council dispatched troops, and Cao Yi took the initiative to ask for help half a day later, which is not fast.

Of course, it is always good for military generals to have this group of determinations to serve the country, but does Cao Yi have it?

Seeing six ways and listening to all directions, having a general understanding of the movements of all the courtiers is the basic quality of an emperor. Zhao Zhen has also heard of this so-called eldest brother.

On the occasion of the birthday of the old lady of the Cao family, it has been at least a month since he returned to Tokyo from Runan in the name of celebrating his birthday, and he is not in a hurry to rush back to his post.

Obviously, I wanted to take the opportunity to have more fun in Tokyo, and I was a little unhappy, but when I heard about the rebellion on the front, I suddenly judged two people, which was really ......

Zhao Zhen smiled coldly, if Cao Yi just hurried back to Runan and adhered to his duties, he could be regarded as loyal to his duties.

But now that the practice of asking Ying to fight and quell the rebellion is so unusual, the motive must be interesting.

Zhao Zhen is a smart person, and he knows it in an instant, and he also understands Du Yan's difficulties, and the ruling must be made by himself.

Refusal?

It is rare for the gate to have this class of initiative, if it refuses, wouldn't it be a blow to the enthusiasm of the gate? What should we do when someone uses this as an excuse to pass the buck in the future?

What's more, after all, the Cao family is a descendant clan and represents the Jiangmen, and there are some meaningful things in this class. Although Zhao Zhen didn't like it very much, as an emperor, he had to tolerate it.

Please be careful about this, and you have to approve it!

What kind of answer sheet will Cao Yi hand in, and what kind of expressions should they have at that time? Zhao Zhen will wait and see about this.

……

War is the most sensitive news in the world, and the slightest disturbance can immediately make a noise.

The news of the Gwanghwa Army's rebellion and intention to attack Xuzhou spread, and although the city of Tokyo was still stable and the basic order was quite orderly, panic was inevitable.

The most direct response is the price of food, and when people live on food, the risk of potential starvation is very high.

As the saying goes, there is no panic when there is food at home, and it is very necessary to store more food at this time, when many people start to buy grain, food prices will naturally begin to rise.

Xue Zong learned from Aunt Liu that her grandmother was old, and all the firewood, rice, oil and salt of the Xue family were purchased by Aunt Liu.

Probably worried that the old grandmother would misunderstand that she was greedy for money, Aunt Liu, who returned from buying rice, complained about the soaring food prices in Tokyo, which happened to be heard by Xue Zong, who returned from class.

The Guanghua Army rebelled, Xue Zong knew about this, and the news in the Simen Pavilion was still relatively well-informed. However, it seems that the children of Xungui have not taken this matter to heart, rebellion is such a thing as a rebellion every year in the Great Song Dynasty, and they have long been accustomed to it, thinking that this time is no different from usual.

But when he learned that the price of food had risen outrageously, Xue Zong realized that this matter was probably not so simple, obviously the war did not threaten the Central Plains, and it was still so far away from Tokyo?

Is the sense of crisis so urgent among the people of Tokyo? Could it be that the outrageous rise in food prices is the result of deliberate manipulation by someone?

Xue Zong originally thought so, but when he stood on the bank of the Bianhe River and saw a large number of boatmen sitting in the shade of the greenery resting, idle, he seemed to realize something.

The soaring food prices were not only due to the rebellion, but also the relationship between supply and demand, and there were significantly fewer ships on the Bianhe than in the past.

Looking down again, the water level of the Bianhe River had dropped by a few feet, and in a trance, Xue Zong realized that he had never felt like he had ever been in the rain in the Great Song Dynasty?

It hadn't rained in Tokyo for a long time, and the water level of the Bianhe River had dropped due to drought, putting the city of a million people and relying entirely on canals for transportation of goods into crisis.
