Chapter 168: Thunderstorm
"Lord Qiqi, Yang Kan's rebellion is not small, the imperial court has sent Yu Hui to lead a large army to conquer, Yu Hui has an obvious advantage in soldiers and horses, he could have defeated Yang Kan and continued to attack Xing Gao, and then pacified the rebellion in Shandong, but now that Xing Gao has been served by the Yuwen brothers, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to deal with" Chen Yu also told the truth, but his main purpose was to distract Ge Rong's attention and put Guanzhong in advance. 【Latest chapter reading. 】 :efefd
"The imperial army was ordered by the emperor to assemble in Hebei, and Shandong couldn't take care of it at all, Yu Hui naturally had no problem dealing with Yang Kan, but would Xing Gao really be so difficult to deal with after he got the Yuwen brothers" Er Zhurong asked, Yu Hui's daughter has been promised to Er Zhurong's eldest son, that is, Chen Yu's apprentice Er Zhu Bodhi, so Er Zhurong is also worried about the safety of the other party in addition to trusting Hui.
"I'm afraid the emperor doesn't want Shandong to be pacified by Lord Yu Hui, I expect him to send his cronies and generals to fight Xinggao, but now the only one who can pacify Xinggao is Lord Yuan Tianmu, except for you, the lord," Chen Yu said slowly.
"What you said is right, Yuan Ziyou must want to send his own people to pacify Shandong, but the ability of his subordinates is not as good as Yu Hui" In front of Chen Yu, a close confidant, Er Zhurong's disdain for the emperor was not concealed at all, "The eldest brother is gathering, and he can't attack Shandong for a while, in this case, I will let Yu Hui withdraw first and join the eldest brother, as for the emperor, let him toss it himself, anyway, we have to wipe his ass again in the end"
"Uh" Er Zhurong said this, Chen Yu didn't know how to pick up the stubble, so he could only laugh dryly, "If Lord Yuan Tianmu goes on the expedition, Shandong will be able to be pacified, but now there is a place where the lord needs to make a decision early."
"Did you say Jingzhou," Er Zhurong asked lightly.
"The lord is wise, it is Jingzhou" Chen Yu continued to say: "As soon as the Empress Dowager Hu came to the chaotic government, things continued everywhere in the world, and Jingzhou was besieged by the southern army for three years. The lord has to deal with it early."
"Wang Zhen Lao'er did a really good job in Jingzhou, he was able to hold on to a lonely city for three years, he is really a genius" Er Zhurong praised, and then asked: "The southern army has nothing to do with Wang Zhen, and is ready to retreat, will there be any problems in Jingzhou now?"
"Wang Zhen's ability to defend the city is probably unsurpassed in my court," Chen Yu said. At this time, Wang Sizheng, the famous general who defended the city, had not yet shown that the mountain was leaking, as for the more famous Wei Xiaokuan. Previously, he only followed the eldest grandson to enter the customs to pacify Xiao Baokun, and now he is not very famous. Therefore, at this time, it is not inappropriate to call Wang Zhen the first general of the Northern Wei Dynasty to defend the city.
"At the beginning, Cao Yizong, the general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, besieged Jingzhou many times, or broke the embankment to irrigate or besieged the city and cut off food, but failed to defeat General Wang, Lord Wang Zhen did not wear armor every time he fought, and shouted loudly: Jingzhou was set up by Emperor Xiaowen, if God does not bless the country, let the arrow hit my Wang Zhen's forehead, otherwise, my Wang Zhen must defeat the enemy in the past three years, Wang Zhen has experienced many fierce battles. He has never been injured, and he is indeed a god-given deputy general" Chen Yu immediately changed his voice and said:
"However, General Wang is very old, and it is not a long-term solution to always be in a place where the form is complicated and the war is continuous, and now the form has changed, and our dynasty is under the rebellion of the lord. Cholera is about to be quelled everywhere, and Jingzhou now needs a young and strong general who can defend both offense and defense, so that the situation can be opened up there."
Er Zhurong was also noncommittal about Chen Yu's statement, Wang Zhen is indeed not young, and he is not a figure of Er Zhurong's faction, so it is not possible to transfer him away. Er Zhurong glanced at Chen Yu meaningfully, "Jingzhou is too close to the Southern Dynasty, this geographical location is too complicated, I haven't been able to think of someone more competent than Wang Zhen for the time being, maybe you already have a candidate in mind."
"Although the environment in Jingzhou is complicated, if the lord and Lord Yuan Tianmu go, they will definitely be able to drive with ease and be able to catch them, but it's a pity that the two of you have no time to separate," Chen Yu sighed and said.
"Don't be a sycophant. Directly say the candidate," Er Zhurong scolded with a smile.
Chen Yu pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, and then said slowly: "My master is the first warrior in the Six Towns, he usually reads the art of war with his hands, and the new army under his leadership has been extremely powerful over the years."
"He Batsheng" Er Zhurong immediately frowned, although he trusted Chen Yu, but Chen Yu's subordinates had not yet reached the point where he could be reassured, Chen Yu recommended his faction characters so much, how could Er Zhurong not think about it.
"Lord Qiqi, although my master, General He Batsheng, is a suitable candidate, but he can only be the deputy commander, I suggest that a person from the Erzhu family be sent as the commander, so that you can have no worries" Chen Yu could not understand Er Zhurong's scruples, and immediately explained.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yu spoke, Er Zhurong's face turned a little pale, but he immediately made another difficulty, because there are really not many people in the Erzhu family who can take the shot, if it is an ordinary place, he can just send a cousin or nephew, but in Jingzhou, he does not dare to send those people in the family who are not enough, otherwise there will be a big accident
"Lord, the rebellion in Guanzhong is not urgent, it is better to send Lord Zhu Tianguang to Jingzhou first, and wait until the rebellion in Shandong and other places is quelled, and it is not too late to choose people to enter the customs" After tossing for most of the day, Chen Yu said his purpose.
How could Er Zhurong think so much, after all, the cake of Hebei is not small, he didn't even think about Guanzhong Chen Yu at all, and knew that the Shandong form might not be as simple as he thought, Er Zhurong also had the heart to put the matter of pacifying Guanzhong on the go, "In that case, let's do it, you go back and let He Batsheng prepare early"
"There is one more thing that needs to be decided by the lord" Although Chen Yu knew that Er Zhurong would not think so much, if he left as soon as he finished talking about Guanzhong, it would inevitably make the other party suspicious afterwards, after all, Er Zhurong still had Murong Shaozong and other shrewd people.
"Something to say in one breath" Er Zhurong usually doesn't talk much, but after talking about it for a long time today, he was also a little impatient, if others were empty, he would have been blown away by him.
Chen Yu's face turned red, he didn't look like he was pretending at this time, "Hebei has been pacified, I want to go back to Huaishuo and marry Ying'e"
After Chen Yu left, a person slowly walked out from behind the screen in Er Zhurong's room, and this person was Er Zhurong's most trusted advisor Murong Shaozong.
"How's that?" Er Zhurong asked casually.
Chen Yu was also surprised that the lord was relieved to hand over Hebei to him, and he was really touched by his trust in the lord, which should all come from the heart" Murong Shaozong has outstanding ability and is deeply trusted by Er Zhurong but cannot be reused, but despite this, he is still extremely loyal to Er Zhurong.
"As for Chen Yu's series of suggestions later, it seems that it is indeed for the sake of the lord and the imperial court, and I don't see anything wrong" Murong Shaozong said softly: "It's just that I think it's still a little inappropriate for the lord to hand over Hebei to Chen Yu, Chen Yu's ability is still a thousand times better than Ge Rong, once he has any intentions, the consequences"
"Of course I know his ability, but who do you think the Erzhu family is suitable to guard here, Chen Yu is really not picky about a series of aftermath treatments in Hebei, even I have to admire" Rare Erzhu Rong also sighed, "Now the townspeople of the six towns are still a little afraid of the Erzhu family, if you send a random Erzhu family who can only be a prestige, it will only make the people here disgusted with the Erzhu family at that time."
"The lord is indeed more thoughtful than me," Murong Shaozong said softly, but he was not good at commenting on the withering of the Erzhu family.
"Now the hatred between the Erzhu family and the court is too great, as long as I am alive for a day, the Erzhu family will naturally be in power, but in the future, I am gone, and who in the Erzhu family can hold up" Erzhu Rong shook his head and said helplessly: "I can't say that the Erzhu family will have to rely on me as a son-in-law in the future, so I will try to help him as much as I can when I can help him."
Murong Shaozong didn't feel anything at first, but when he heard this, he was already shocked
Originally, Yuan Tianmu and other armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty were assembled in Hebei, preparing to crusade against Ge Rong, after Ge Rong was quickly pacified by Er Zhurong, they did not have time to enter the Shandong battlefield immediately, Yuan Ziyou in line with the purpose of tolerance and generosity and more things are not as good as less, Yang Kan and Xing Gao carried out Zhao'an, if the Zhao'an is successful, it will definitely be of great political significance to Yuan Ziyou, and it will also be a major move to complete the emperor completely on his own after succeeding to the throne.
Emperor Xiaozhuang sent an envoy to crown Yang Kan as a hussar general, Situ, and Taishan County Duke, and promised him to be the assassin of Yanzhou forever. Yuan Ziyou's price is not high, before Chen Yu said that the hussar general is worthless, it is indeed true, isn't this a few days to seal another one, Chen Yu has the power of the dragon to give a Yitong Sansi, Yang Kan rebelled and directly got a Situ, this is not Yitong but a serious identity of the three dukes.
As for Yang Kan's title as the duke of the county and the position of Yongwei Yanzhou Assassin, it is even more red-eyed, but Chen Yu is not jealous at all, because Chen Yu knows that Yang Kan will not accept it, Yang Kan not only did not accept it, but also killed the messenger sent by Yuan Ziyou, which really slapped Yuan Ziyou's face hard
As for the surrender of Xing Gao, it not only slapped Yuan Ziyou in the face, but also made Yuan Ziyou lose face, and almost committed suicide in shame. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
