Chapter 455: Can They Do It?

Zhou Fashang couldn't help but want to scold, can this matter be mixed? The mixing is good, the mixing is not good, and there is no place to die, but the key is that this thing is not mixed well at all, because this storm is very likely to evolve from a military coup to a war of imperial reunification, and when the father and son kill each other and the brothers are on the wall, in the end, even if the Holy Lord wins, it will be a tragic victory, there is a pain in the skin, bitter hatred, and there will be crazy revenge, and there is no right or wrong to retaliate under losing your mind, only catharsis, who catches and kills whom, as long as you are related to this storm, you may be in a different place.

However, the interests of the Jiangzuo people and the Holy Lord are too closely linked, and they cannot turn a blind eye to the crisis in the Eastern Capital, and in the face of the possible outbreak of the Great War of Imperial Unification, they cannot turn a blind eye, for the sake of the Holy Lord, they must find ways to solve the crisis, and more importantly, they must do their best to prevent the outbreak of the Great War of Imperial Unification, control this storm at the level of military coup d'état at any cost, and reduce the damage of this storm to the Eastern Capital and Guozuo to the greatest extent.

Therefore, Zhou Fashang is duty-bound and must take on the important task of counterinsurgency, and counterinsurgency is secondary, and recovering Liyang and opening up the Grand Canal is also secondary, the only important thing is to prevent the King of Qi from entering Beijing, and do his best to prevent or delay the explosion of the Great War of Imperial Unification.

Zhou Fashang shook his head with a wry smile, replacing his reply with silence. As a native of Jiangzuo, as a military commander who is deeply trusted and respected by the Holy Lord, at a critical moment, he must share his worries and solve problems for the Holy Lord, come to Hu'er to lead the army across the sea expedition, and go to the Eastern Capital to quell the rebellion, in fact, all to help the Holy Lord win the victory of the Second Eastern Crusade, but the division of labor is different, so he can't find a reason to refuse.

The decision was made in this way, although the three of them had their own thoughts, but they knew each other tacitly, they had to make a decision when it was time to decide, if they were blindly entangled, it would not help anything, and it would not be beneficial to everyone.

Cui Junsu left first, he had to prepare the chapter, gather the army, deploy the warships and grain and grass, and also send news to Hebei, there were too many things to do, and he knew that Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang must have some private matters to discuss, and they couldn't delay people's time.

Zhou Fashang did have a private matter to ask Laihu'er, "Does the Holy Lord have an emergency plan?" ”

The Holy Lord must have an emergency plan, but it is all "on paper" things, which are generally preventive measures, and it is difficult to target measures, such as the same military coup, different people raise troops to rebel in different places, and the impact and results are different, plus the shape is changing rapidly, it is impossible to make effective targeted measures in advance, it can only be targeted prevention, such as ensuring the safety of Dongdu and Gyeonggi, ensuring the safety of the Grand Canal, and the others are difficult to take into account, and they can only watch one step at a time. See Moves. Of course, Zhou Fashang did not expect the Holy Lord to have the ability to predict the future, but the risk of the Second Eastern Crusade was too great, and the Holy Lord and the Central Committee should have foreseen the deterioration of the domestic situation, and should have taken careful precautions, and Lai Hu'er participated in the discussion and decision-making of the Second Eastern Crusade, and he should know some relevant secrets.

Lai Hu'er did not hide it, and told him bluntly, "Before the Holy Lord went north to Liaodong, he stayed in Zhuo County for a short time, during which he appointed Wu Benlang to assist Chen Ling to assist Duan Da to stay in Zhuo County

Zhou Fashang comprehended. Chen Ling is a native of Jiangzuo, an old general under the account of Hu'er. During the First Crusade, he led the Praetorian Guard to the Imperial Palace, and was fully responsible for the safety of the Holy Lord and the center. After the defeat of the Eastern Expedition, Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang and other commanders of the sailors were detained in the eastern capital, and the sailors were in chaos. After coming to Hu'er and others to be reinstated, Chen Ling was ordered to return to the Eastern Capital and stay in the guard, which shows the Holy Lord's trust and respect for him. Such a general in the army, who is highly trusted by the Holy Lord, should logically charge for the Holy Lord on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, but when the Holy Lord needed him the most, he left him in Zhuo County as the deputy of Duan Da who stayed in Zhuo County, and the deep meaning is self-evident.

However, the main force of the garrison army in Youyan Town is on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and the remaining army has to guard the border passes, and the number of troops that can be drawn from the Zhuojun Garrison Mansion is very limited, and the Holy Lord has left Duan Da and Chen Ling, two cronies and generals, in Zhuo County, in addition to ensuring the safety of the rear base camp of the expeditionary force, in fact, the role of deterring Hebei is far greater than the significance of supporting the Eastern Capital, therefore, even if the Zhuojun side goes south to quell the rebellion, it will not play much role, and it is not even possible to alleviate the crisis, and the Holy Lord must have other deployments.

"At the end of last year, the Wei Mansion set off a storm, personnel adjustments were intensive, and military generals from all over the country returned to Beijing one after another to report on their work." Laihu'er continued, "The Holy Lord deliberately took an afternoon out of his busy schedule to summon six generals. ”

Zhou Fashang frowned slightly, and listened attentively.

"They are the right Wuwei general Huangfu Wuyi, the general of the prison gate Zhige Pang Yu, the Jingfu Dugu Wudu, the deputy commander Liu Gang, the Wu Benlang general Linghu Derun, and the Wu Benlang general Hu Si Wanshou."

Zhou Fashang's brows furrowed even tighter, and his expression became stricter.

These six are all powerful Weifu generals, among which Huangfu Wuyi, the general of the Right Military Guard, is one of the two commanders of the Xijing Garrison; Pang Yu, the general of the prison gate, was the commander of the Xijing Praetorian Guard; Dugu Wudu, the commander of Jingfu, and Liu Gang, the deputy commander of the capital, are the guards of Tongguan, guarding Tongguan, the throat of the two capitals; Wu Benlang generals Ling Hu Derun and Hu Si Wanshou are the commanders of the Xijing garrison, and there are 4,000 elite soldiers in Wufu Yingyang. The Holy Lord specially summoned them, and only six of them were summoned among the many generals of the Weifu Army who returned to Beijing to report on their duties, which shows that the Holy Lord not only trusted them, but also entrusted them with important tasks.

Among these six people, the military generals surnamed Yu are all noble, among which Dugu Wu is from the wealthy Dugu clan surnamed Yu, and the Dugu clan is the core of the Guanlong Wuchuan aristocratic group, and the emperor is a relative of the country; Liu Gang was born in the Liu family, one of the eight nobles with the surname of the captive, and was a relative of the emperor; Hu Si Wanshou was born in a big family with the surname of Yu, this family has considerable influence in the military, and is one of the important forces in the military of the old aristocratic group with the surname Yuan as the family.

In comparison, the background of the three Han surnames is much worse, among which Huangfu Wuyi is from the Huangfu family of the northwest millennium, and the most famous Huangfu family in history is the Taiwei Huangfu Song who suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the descendants of the Huangfu family are few outstanding in the era of the Great Schism of Middle Earth, and they cannot be compared with the Li family in Longxi in the era of the rise of Guanlong, and they have been reduced to second-class nobles in the northwest, but in the Jingzhou area east of Longshan (Liupan Mountain), that is, Anding, Beidi and other places on both sides of Jingshui, Xiao Pass at the north gate of Guanzhong is located, but the Huangfu clan is firmly in the position of "boss", and all the nobles on both sides of the Jingshui River are only the Huangfu clan's horses, which is the historical origin and regional interests, and will not change at any time and under any circumstances.

Wu Benlang will make Hu Derun also from the northwest. Linghu clan is a proud hope in Hexi, in the northwest can only be regarded as a third- or fourth-rate nobleman, but Hexi out of the generals, Hexi children are also very tough, Hexi Legion and Longxi Legion, Ling (Wu) Shuo (Fang) Legion together to build a strong and huge Northwest Army, of which the Hexi Army because of the throat of the northwest of Middle Earth, generations of fierce battles with the Beiyu, history has emerged many famous generals, because of the achievements and become the military senior commanders are everywhere. Zhao Cai, the right general of the Wei Mansion today, is from Jiuquan, and the former Zuo Yiwei general, who is now Duan Da, who is currently staying in Zhuo County, is a Wuwei person, and these two military "bigwigs" have won the trust of the Holy Lord.

Longxi and Lingshuo are adjacent to Guanzhong, Guanzhong needs their protection, and they need the support of Guanzhong, and the two sides have a common interest base, so all along, the local aristocratic group of Guanlong has firmly controlled the two major armies of Longxi and Lingshuo. Hexi is too far away, although its strategic position is very important, but after all, it is too far away from Guanzhong, and the relationship between the interests between the two will not be too close, which makes Hexi's independence very strong, and it is difficult for Guanzhong to control the Hexi Army, plus some other political, military, and economic reasons, the contradictions between the Hexi nobles and the local nobles of Guanlong, and between the three major armies of the Northwest Army are very intense. In this context, it is not difficult to understand that both generations of emperors trusted and valued the military generals of Hexi.

At present, the senior generals of Hexi in the Wei Mansion are basically the protégés of Zhao Cai and Duan Da, no way, there are people in the court who are good officials, and the Wei Mansion is the same, there is no strong relationship, let alone promotion, and even the military exploits cannot be obtained, so of course the Hexi people have to form a group. Linghu Derun is one of Zhao Cai's protégés, and it is reasonable for the Holy Lord to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Pang Yu came from the family of Jingyang officials, a low-level nobleman, and was a typical Hanmen military general who rose with military merits, but Pang Yu was able to do the position of the general of the prison gate and the pavilion, and he could lead the Praetorian Guard to take charge of the guard, and he could win the trust of the Holy Lord, one of the most important reasons is that the Jingyang Pang Clan was a vassal of the Hongnong Yang Clan, Pang Yu was the personal guard of the first emperor, and after the Holy Lord entered the East Palace, he was responsible for the East Palace Guard, and it was natural for the Holy Lord to trust him.

Put these six generals together to analyze the intentions of the Holy Lord, and things will be complicated. In addition to the fact that these six generals all trust them, there is also a very obvious thing in common, that is, the troops they lead are all in the Guanzhong region, and they are all directly related to the security of Xijing, what does this mean? Something is going to happen to Xijing?

From the analysis of the current situation, if something happens to Xijing, there are only two possibilities, one is that Xijing supports Yang Xuangan and forms an alliance with Yang Xuangan, and the Xijing army enters the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, which is the most terrifying; There is also a possibility that Xijing sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, watched from the sidelines, and allowed Yang Xuan to feel the trouble of the eastern capital, and was reluctant to send troops to support the eastern capital, so as to fall into the well and make profits from it, which would make the crisis expand so quickly that it was out of control.

Zhou Fashang pondered for a long time and asked in a low voice, "What does the Holy Lord have to entrust?" ”

"If there is a change in the eastern capital, Xijing must send troops to support it as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of the eastern capital." Lai Hu'er sighed, "The eastern capital is in chaos, the safety of the Grand Canal is no longer guaranteed, and the Second Eastern Crusade will undoubtedly fail, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"They ......," Zhou Fashang also sighed, "okay?" ”

Laihu'er was speechless.
