The Six Towns Rebels have been playing the role of leaders in the anti-kings of all walks of life, after Ge Rong was pacified, all the large and small rebels were terrified, except for Xing Gao and Wanci Chou Nu, who had strong strength, small groups of rebel forces have surrendered, and the situation in the Northern Wei Dynasty has finally improved greatly. [Full text reading. 】 :efefd

The rebellion in Guanzhong because of the remote location and a little farther away, the impact on the imperial court is relatively small, and Yuan Ziyou has no intention of sending troops to Guanzhong for the time being, and now the focus of the imperial court has shifted from Hebei to Shandong, and Yuan Tianmu is also gathering troops and horses, preparing to eliminate Xing Gao in one go.

Yuan Tianmu had countless generals under his command at this time, not to mention Zhu Zhao, Dou Tai, Gao Huan, and other people from the Erzhu faction, and even the elite soldiers and fierce generals who were still inclined to the imperial court were also driven by him, but Yuan Tianmu, who was in such a powerful position, actually had a conflict with the emperor at this time.

Yuan Ziyou has a soft personality and a strong personality, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he was indeed frightened by Er Zhurong's thunderous methods, but after these days passed, the young and vigorous monarch obviously cheered up, he had begun to secretly cultivate power cronies, expand his power, and he was more and more dissatisfied with Er Zhurong, the enemy who killed his brother.

Although Er Zhurong is far away in Jinyang, he controls the imperial court remotely, and the appointment of court officials is from his hands, this Qihu chieftain's ability to fight is invincible in the world, but he really has no talent in governing the country and engaging in politics, Er Zhurong's identification of talents depends on personal likes and dislikes, he is fair-skinned and handsome and abnormal, and he directly ignores those officials who are dark or not very good-looking.

Er Zhurong previously appointed a county magistrate of Quyang County, Dingzhou, but Li Shenjun, the secretary of the ministry, did not allow this resolution because of this person's inappropriate rank, but arranged for someone else to take up the post of Quyang County Commander, Er Zhurong was furious and led the troops to tie up the officials appointed by the imperial court, and then let the officials in his picture go directly to be the county magistrate, and his contempt for the imperial court can be seen.

Yuan Ziyou was very disgusted with Er Zhurong's approach, but he was helpless, but considering that Er Zhurong was not in power to dominate the world, he already had a history of attacking the state and county without authorization and appointing the state and county assassins. This time is actually much better than in the past, and the emperor can only comfort himself like this

Then Er Zhurong wrote a letter hoping that all the prefectures of Henan would be filled by northerners, and the emperor knew that the northerners here were clearly referring to Er Zhurong's party members and cronies, so the emperor had the courage to veto Er Zhurong's resolution again.

Shangdang Wang Yuan Tianmu, as Er Zhurong's sworn brother, was of course extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's veto of Er Zhurong's proposal, so he met with the monarch and said: "The king of Taiyuan has contributed to the imperial court, even if all the officials in the world are replaced. I'm afraid that Your Majesty, you can't go against his will, and now it's just a list of officials in a few states. Why don't you allow it?"

Although Yuan Tianmu is a royal clan, after all, his bloodline is far away, he is not noble, and he has always been unknown, until he got acquainted with Er Zhurong.

Similarly, Er Zhurong, who is not in the eyes of the heroes and heroes of the world, is extremely close to Yuan Tianmu, the relationship between these two sworn brothers is indeed closer than that of brothers, and Yuan Tianmu only has Er Zhurong and no son of heaven in his eyes. Even when he spoke, he was not polite.

If Er Zhurong was in person, Yuan Ziyou would probably be quite jealous, but in the face of Yuan Tianmu, who has always been known for his loyalty, Yuan Ziyou was much bolder, and he said in a serious and serious manner: "If the king of Taiyuan does not want to be a minister, I can let him replace him, if he still remembers the etiquette as a courtier." There is no reason to arrange for a hundred officials."

Emperor Xiaozhuang said this, Yuan Tianmu was really not good at refutating, so he had to come out depressed, after Yuan Tianmu left the palace, he immediately found Erzhu Shilong, the spokesperson of the capital of the Erzhu family, and told the truth about today's things.

"For example, today the son is very diligent in political affairs. It would have been a good thing to be tireless from morning to night, and to personally inspect the complaint and try unjust cases many times, but he also interfered more and more in matters such as the appointment and dismissal of official positions, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will not be good for the king of Taiyuan," Yuan Tianmu said to Er Zhu Shilong with his doubts.

"The position of the Son of Heaven is not for my brother to let him sit, and now he is disobedient to my brother, with the character of my brother, I am afraid that he will be furious" Er Zhu Shilong smiled bitterly: "The emperor and my brother are not good talkers. It's hard for us to be caught in the middle."

"At the beginning, I only knew that Yuan Ziyou was dignified and spoke decently, but I didn't think that his personality was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and it was not a good thing for us that he was doing this way," Yuan Tianmu said worriedly.

"Why don't we find an opportunity to knock him down and let him know how to beat him," Erzhu Shilong said indignantly.

Although Yuan Tianmu was dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven, he did not dare to delay the major national affairs, and the crusade against Xing Gao still had to continue to be prepared.

Yuan Hao has gone to the enemy country for help for his ambitions, but Emperor Wu of Liang is not optimistic about Yuan Hao, the son of the brother, but the failure of the siege of Jingzhou by the Southern Liang before made Emperor Wu of Liang very embarrassed, and he also wanted to let the Northern Wei Dynasty also touch the mold, so Emperor Wu of Liang symbolically sent a few soldiers and horses to support Yuan Hao, and expressed his mind slightly.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu knew that his ace chess friend Chen Qingzhi had always wanted to go on the expedition, and Xiao Yan happened to fulfill Chen Qingzhi's wish this time and sent Chen Qingzhi to escort Yuan Hao back to China to seize the throne.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties are often killing hundreds of thousands of troops, but this time Emperor Wu of Liang only let Chen Qingzhi bring 7,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, Emperor Wu of Liang's intention is obvious, if he loses with a small Bo, he will not lose money, in case he wins, he will make a fortune, but at least at this moment, Emperor Wu of Liang did not have any expectations.

Although Yuan Hao's personality is a little arrogant and extravagant, but his ability is indeed not bad, after seeing Emperor Wu of Liang's intentions, he asked Emperor Wu of Liang to let him gather the northerners who were scattered in the south, and organize these exiles into troops for his own use.

Emperor Wu of Liang also felt that he was a little embarrassed to send such a small number of soldiers and horses, and naturally met these requirements of Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao quickly reorganized tens of thousands of homeless troops, and the combat power of these troops did not dare to compliment, but when the foil and logistics were barely possible, the strange combination of Yuan Hao and Chen Qingzhi opened the road of the Northern Expedition in this way

Yuan Tianmu heard that the southern army had entered the country, and there were even more leaders of the imperial court, so he was also cautious, but when he heard that the southern army was only 7,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Hao was even more with a bunch of beggar-like miscellaneous troops, Yuan Tianmutun also felt a little ridiculous, but he still gathered everyone to ask everyone's opinions.

Yuan Tianmu convened the generals to discuss the military situation, and everyone said that Xing Gao had at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, which was not only a disaster, but also greatly damaged the face of the imperial court last time, and he should first concentrate his forces to defeat Xing Gao in one go.

On the contrary, the Northern Expedition of Yuan Hao was just to gather some northerners who were stranded in the Southern Dynasty for various reasons, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were all miscellaneous, and the combat power was not as good as the county soldiers, so there was nothing to be afraid of, as for the seven thousand soldiers and horses led by Xiao Yan Chen Qingzhi were directly ignored by everyone, although Chen Qingzhi had quite a record before, but the southerners were too comfortable in recent years, on the contrary, the northerners were fighting endlessly, and the northerners have always despised the southerners' combat power, and now this attitude is particularly strong.

Gao Huan, Dou Tai and Er Zhu Zhao were all under Yuan Tianmu at this time, Er Zhu Zhao had no opinion on this, as long as he could kill people and fight him, he was happy, and he didn't care who he hit first.

Dou Tai usually speaks little, but his mind is extremely delicate, he thought for a moment and then said: "Although Xing Gao has a lot of troops, they are all robbers and outcasts, and he can only toss in the old nest in Shandong, and it is not urgent to send troops to fight against them, on the contrary, Yuan Hao is a close relative of the royal family, this time he came under the guise of righteousness, once he has momentum, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

Gao Huan felt that what Dou Tai said was reasonable, so he also reconsidered: "It must not be difficult for my army to go out to destroy Xing Gao, but I am afraid it will take a lot of time to pacify Xing Gao, at that time, the defense of the capital is empty, and if Yuan Hao takes advantage of the weakness at this time, he must also be careful to beware"

Yuan Tianmu felt that what Dou Tai and Gao Huan said was also reasonable, but he himself had contempt for the southern soldiers, "The two generals are quite reasonable, but for the Yuan Hao troops, we can transfer some soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend, and it is not easy for the Yuan Hao soldiers to attack the city, just rely on the strong city to defend him, and when the time comes, our army will defeat Xing Gao and return to the division, and we can annihilate it in one fell swoop."

Everyone felt that such an arrangement was indeed safe after all, so they didn't continue to speak, but they didn't expect that Chen Qingzhi was born to be a master of creating miracles, and others couldn't do things that he couldn't think of, but he dared to think and dare to do it, and soon after, he really let him do it unfinished.
