When Chang Miao died and the news of the Liaodong Army's withdrawal to the country reached Liu Yan's ears, the teacup in Liu Yan's hand slipped to the ground, and the whole person stayed for more than ten seconds.

"How so, how so." This sentence was repeated more than forty times in Liu Yan's mouth, and Wu Sicheng on the side looked at the emperor worriedly, it was the first time he had seen Liu Yan lose his temper.

In fact, Liu Yan can't be blamed, Chang Miao's sudden death has too much impact. The Liaodong Army did not continue to besiege the fallen Pyongyang City and chose to retreat, which is enough to show that there is no one in the Liaodong Army who can replace Chang Miao's position, and anyone who succeeds will arouse the dissatisfaction of others. Although the withdrawal of the army is regrettable, what is worse than this is who should manage the Liaodong Army in the future? This is a heavy responsibility that not everyone can do. Although there are many generals in the Silk Country, there is really no one like Chang Miao who has both strength and prestige, and has enough status.

What's even worse is that I received a report that the Eastern Turkic Khan Abichir defeated the Western Turki Khan Anbalturi in Jinshan, this time Abicheril is likely to wave his army south to pose a threat to the north of the Silk Country, the war is imminent, at this moment the entire Silk Country army has begun to mobilize, ready to deal with the strong enemy in the north at any time, if the Liaodong Army has a mistake at this time, it is not only possible to be taken advantage of by Goryeo, but also will be attacked by Abiciel. What should the Liaodong Army do at that time?

After thinking about it, Liu Yan finally spoke: "Maybe Xue Boren can succeed to the position of capital protector?" ”

Wu Sicheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for speaking bluntly. Xue Boren did have outstanding military achievements, but his prestige in the army was not high enough. Besides, his identity is just a Yulin Lang general, and letting him serve as the Taiyuan guard has caused many people to be dissatisfied, if he is mentioned to the post of Liaodong Protector at this time, I am afraid it is inappropriate, not to mention that the threat of the sudden contract is imminent, and the Taiyuan area also needs him to defend. ”

"Since this is the case, then only the defense of Youzhou will make Su Chengdong."

Wu Sicheng still shook his head: "Although Su Chengdong's ability is not as good as Xue Boren, his official rank is higher, and the problem is that he is too young." I'm afraid that the generals of Liaodong will not believe him, maybe the old general He Ling can be appointed as the protector, and it is more suitable for Su Chengdong to assist. In this way, who should Youzhou be handed over to defend it? ”

Liu Yan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "Hua Meng, Gai Yanxiao, Zhong He, Zhu Tianshun, these generals of the Liaodong Army, if they are arranged under Su Chengdong, they will not be satisfied." Then it is better to choose one of them to guard Youzhou. ”

Wu Sicheng scratched his head and said, "The emperor is right. Among these people, Zhu Tianshun should be the leader in terms of comprehensive ability, and this time he led the coalition forces of various tribes to attack Hamgyong Province and performed well; In terms of bravery and prestige, it is headed by Gai Yanxiao, and this person is heroic. Being sincere is a good choice, but he is more courageous than resourceful; Zhong He is cautious and lacks originality. As the name suggests, Hua Mengren is good at attacking but not defending. I'm afraid not the right person. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Then let Gai Yanxiao do it." Zhu Tianshun is the deputy. He Ling acted as the protector of the capital, and let Su Chengdong and Zheng Menglong assist. ”

Wu Sicheng bowed his head and said: "Yes, Weichen obeys." It's just that this matter is bound to be notified to the Ministry of War for appointment, but in this way, it will naturally flow into the ears of Empress Dowager Li. If she had reported it to Abiciel, it would have been possible for Abicialir to take advantage of it. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and paced in the room with his hands behind his back for half a circle before saying, "Since this is the case, then this time the Qing'er line will be used." Let her cut off the connection between Empress Dowager Li and Han Kemin, it doesn't take much, just a few days, as long as her information is sent to Han Kemin a few days later, then our appointment will be completed first, and then Abicheril will have no chance even if he wants to take advantage of the situation. ”

"Your Majesty, if you do this, you will leave traces, and it will be easy to expose Qing'er's inner line. According to the information that Weichen heard from Qing'er, Han Kemin mostly sent some gadgets into the palace of Empress Dowager Li in the name of paying tribute, which was mixed with secret letters. According to Weichen's opinion, we can make some movements, and then use this as an excuse to strengthen the vigilance of Chang'an City, and by the way, we can especially strengthen the inspection of the imperial city, so that it is not easy for Han Kemin to send news in, so that the news of the military department can be delayed from reaching the ears of the Queen Mother, and then the instructions of the Queen Mother will be delayed by Qing'er's line, and there will be a legitimate reason for delaying some time with strict inspections as a cover. ”

"Or you kid has a lot of ideas, so let's do it," Liu Yan said with a smile, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and he leaned out in front of Wu Sicheng and said, "You are so protective of Qing'er, shouldn't your relationship with her be getting deeper and deeper, right?" ”

"No, no, Your Majesty, you are too worried. Although Qing'er's position has been determined, Weichen will also be wary of the possibility of her currying favor with both ends. It's just that it is not easy for her line to be placed next to the Queen Mother, if it is not necessary, it will not be used, if it can not be used, it will not be used, and waiting for the opportunity to bring down the Queen Mother is the most important thing. ”

Only then did Liu Yan straighten up with his hands behind his back and said: "You are right, the current strength of the Queen Mother's party is still too strong, even if we know her behavior, it is not enough to have Qing'er's witness, she has not left evidence for many things, which needs to be collected slowly in the future." Having said that, after you use those in-room techniques, Qing'er should be dead set on you by now, right? ”

Wu Sicheng's expression suddenly became very strange. Recently, because Empress Hua was pregnant and couldn't sleep, Liu Yan still looked dissatisfied with her desires although she stayed with other concubines every day, and every time she talked about this kind of topic, she would show special attention, which made Wu Sicheng feel very troubled. But since the emperor asked him here, Wu Sicheng could only reluctantly answer: "Back to the emperor, that does have an effect, but Weichen thinks that the emperor's marriage is the reason for Qing'er's submission, and Weichen is just pushing the boat with the flow." ”

Liu Yan laughed: "You are so dishonest, you are obviously happy to say a set of truths in a high-sounding manner." No matter what, I won't tell you more, you just need to control Qing'er's heart and let her do things for me. ”

After speaking, Liu Yan waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and Wu Sicheng saluted before turning around and retreating. Liu Yan secretly worries alone: Chang Miao's death is only an expedient measure to deal with now, and the fundamental problem cannot be solved. Chang Miao's death is a great loss for himself, originally he had Chang Miao's Liaodong Army is a trump card, plus Xue Boren's Taiyuan Mansion, Su Chengdong's control of Youzhou and the two camps in the north and south of the capital and the forbidden army, most of the army of the Silk Country has been in their own hands, but now Chang Miao's Liaodong Army has no gap, he has to use Su Chengdong to master the Liaodong Army, for Su Chengdong, a general he has never met, his loyalty still needs time to test, Therefore, the movements of the Liaodong Army will become a major matter of his own attention. And there is no guarantee that the new Youzhou defense envoy Gai Yanxiao and Zhu Tianshun will obey him, if Empress Dowager Li's forces take the opportunity to infiltrate, it will be a big mistake. It was not an easy task to cut off Empress Dowager Li's outstretched hand to the army, perhaps he should personally tour Youzhou and Liaodong to test the reliability of these generals? If that is the case, there is no own town in the capital, what tricks will Empress Dowager Li come up with? Perhaps she should consult the queen about this matter, although she is not suitable to worry too much about these things now.
