"The Eastern Capital ordered Xuzhou to suppress thieves, why can't you see the Xuzhou army in the south of Mengshan?" Wu Heimin asked suddenly.
Wu Heimin is about thirty years old, tall and broad, with a steel needle-like beard, thick black eyebrows, and a majestic style, and he is an upright and bold person at first glance.
This sentence speaks to the common sentiment of everyone. I heard that at the end of last year, Zuo Xiaowei Mansion also ordered the conscription of local township regiments under the pretext of suppressing thieves to form a local army of tens of thousands of people, so strong strength, why not fight Mengshan? Xuzhou thieves plundered the heavy fleet on the Tongji Canal, and the Eastern Capital had ordered Zuo Xiaowei Mansion to collect the robbed heavy soldiers, but Zuo Xiaowei Mansion has not attacked Mengshan so far. Where did Liang Dezhong have the courage to turn a deaf ear to the edict of the Eastern Capital and disobey the emperor's order?
The contradiction between the Qi people and the Chu people has also been a long time, and now that the Chu people have driven the traitors who caused trouble and troubled the Jiji Canal into Qilu and Mengshan, of course they have no enthusiasm to suppress the thieves. Why do you want to kill thieves? Why can't you let this gang of thieves go to trouble Qilu? The more chaotic you Qilu, the better, what does it have to do with me Xuzhou? If the local forces in Pengcheng deliberately obstruct the Weifu to suppress the thieves, not to mention Liang Dezhong, a general from Guanlong, I am afraid that Cui Deben, who is from the first wealthy family in Shandong, is also at a loss.
"Ming Gong, last winter, the Cui clan came forward and agreed with the three counties of Qi, Lu, and Langya to join forces to suppress the thieves." Jia Wuben said, "Why did the Cui family go back on their word and refuse to help Lu County at a critical moment? β
Zhang Xutuo was silent.
Judging from the overall interests of the Shandong people, Cui Deben will definitely rescue Duan Wencao, but he has his difficulties and can't count on it in the short term. As for Dou Xuan of Langya County, under the coercion of Laihu'er and Zhou Fashang, he will only use all his strength to defend the transportation channel, and what does Duan Wencao's life and death and the crisis in Lu County have to do with him?
"Ming Gong, if Lu County is lost, the crime is great, if it affects the sailor's expedition to cross the sea, the consequences will be unimaginable." Qin Qiong's expression was grim, and his tone was sincere, "The Duan clan in Beihai has a huge power, although Elder Duan Ge has passed away, but there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, and the power is still there, especially the influence of the Duan clan in Qilu, it will not dissipate because of the death of Elder Duan Ge." Ming Gong is in Qilu and shoulders the heavy responsibility of stabilizing Qilu, if he has a grudge with the Duan family because of official business, it is really not worth it. β
Qin Qiong's words of admonition sounded a little harsh at first glance, but after thinking about it seriously, Qin Qiong not only did not exaggerate, but was appropriate, just right, and said it in a way that was neither light nor heavy, which was just right for Zhang Xutuo to accept and weigh the gains and losses in a calm mind.
Zhang Xutuo immediately realized that he had to go to the rescue of Lu County, otherwise the Qilu people who supported him would turn their backs, including Qin Qiong and Wu Heimin, who were sitting in this handsome tent, they might resent themselves and would not be able to work from now on. But at present, Qi County is in danger, if you do your best to rescue Lu County, it is too difficult, and there is even a possibility of failure, which endangers your own interests, but if you save yourself, you will inevitably win the support of more Qilu people, which is in line with the needs of your own interests in the long run.
As long as the Eastern Crusade is victoriously over, as long as it survives until this winter, the shape will be reversed.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xutuo categorically decided to support Lu Jun.
"Put it on the Beihai side for the time being." Zhang Xutuo stroked his beard and said, "That side is close to Donglai, and the deterrent power of Donglai Sailor should not be underestimated. In addition, Ludong Zhuyingyang still has a lot of troops, so he asked for help from Duke Chen (Zhou Fashang) and asked him to send some soldiers and horses to Weishui and Baiwolfshui for a brief inspection to intimidate the North Sea Pirates. It's just that after the main force leaves Qi County, once the thieves hear the news, they will swarm back, and the victims are still innocent civilians. β
Jia Wuben sighed, "Suppression is the next policy after all, the more you suppress, the more chaotic it becomes, even if you finish suppressing the thief, you still have to deal with it in the end." Only by Fu can the situation be finally stabilized. Ming Gong, there has been no rain for a period of time, which has affected the production of crops, if it does not rain again, the drought will intensify, I am afraid it will cause a disaster. Once Qi County is affected again......"
Jia Wuben didn't finish speaking, he was in a heavy mood and didn't want to say it. It is a sin to kill all the peasants, the common people, and the innocent creatures, so that the heavens are angry and the people are angry, and the calamities are continuous. If there is another disaster, there will be more people who can't survive, and in the end everyone will rebel, you kill me, I will kill you, and the corpses will be all over the field, thousands of miles away, and the country will be ruined.
Obviously, Jia Wuben opposed the rescue of Lu County. If you can't solve the crisis in your own family, wouldn't you kill yourself if you go to save others? A gentleman has to take care of his roots, he is in danger, and he will save others at any cost, and in the end, he will end up together.
"At present, the drought situation in Qi County is becoming more and more severe, and the traitors are not only repeatedly suppressed, but more and more, and the shape is getting worse and worse. Zhang Yuanbei couldn't oppose his father's decision, but he also didn't support supporting Lu County, so he came up with a compromise idea, "Envoy, we must take precautions, we must take into account, if there is another drought this year, what will Qi County do?" A certain believes that the envoy should leave at least half of the army to continue to encircle and suppress the traitors, and increase disaster relief, and do his best to maintain the current situation in Qi County, so that the civilians on both sides of the Jishui River can farm with peace of mind, and can obey the orders of the government when the drought breaks out, and work together with the government to fight the drought and provide disaster relief, instead of taking risks and raising the flag to rebel. β
Zhang Xutuo hesitated.
Jia Wuben is a native of Hedong, Zhang Yuanbei is the son of Zhang Xutuo, and is a native of Guanlong, from their position, the safety of Qi County is naturally put first, which is related to their vital interests, and the overall interests of the Qilu people should be put in the second place, as for the fate of Lujun Duan Wencao and Beihai Duan, what does it have to do with them?
"There seems to be something wrong with Si Gong's strategy." Qin Qiong said, "The Qi army is divided into two, half of which stays on both sides of Jishui to continue to suppress thieves, and half goes south to rescue Lu County. At present, Qi County is worried about internal and external troubles, and is surrounded by enemies on all sides, with the thieves of Changbai Mountain repeatedly suppressing injustice, and the threats of thieves from Beihai, Lu County, Jibei and the Bohai Sea and Plains on the north bank of the Great River. β
Based on this, Qin Qiong proposed that the Qi army should either stick to the county or go south with all its might to suppress the thieves, and not try to do two things at the same time, and doing two things at the same time will inevitably lead to the failure of both.
"From the news sent by Lu County, it can be seen that the Mengshan thieves have captured Yangguan, occupied the line between Juping and Liang's father, and cut off the connection between Qi and Lu counties. It is not difficult to predict that the Mengshan thieves will next advance westward along both banks of the Wenshui River, all the way to attack the city, burn and kill, and plunder, until they arrive at the junction of the three counties of Jibei, Dongping and Lu County, and meet with the Jibei thief handsome Han Jinluo, Zhen Baoche, Dongping thief Shuai Rentai, Huo Xiaohan, if nothing else, the Jiyin thief handsome Meng Haigong will also form an alliance with them, so that the thieves from all walks of life will form a circular encirclement of the Lu County Mansion and its surrounding counties and townships. β
Qin Qiong walked to the map, pointed to Yangguan, and continued, "If Ming Gong leads half of the Qi army south, he will inevitably be blocked in Yangguan, and once the Qi army is blocked in Yangguan, the Mengshan thieves will inevitably pass through the thieves such as Han Jinluo and Zhen Baoche, and send news to the traitors such as Zuo Junxing, Zuo Junheng, Pei Changzi, and Shizihe in Qi County, to the thieves such as Guo Fangzhu and Qin Junhong in Beihai, and even to the rebels such as Wang Bo who took refuge in Douzigang, Hebei. Thieves from all walks of life saw that there was an opportunity, and they would inevitably kill both sides of the Jishui River, so that the Qi army was difficult to resist, and finally Ming Gong had to withdraw to Qi County to suppress the thieves, and the move to rescue Lu County in the south fell short and gave up halfway. β
"Ming Gong evacuated Lu County, and the thieves from all walks of life who surrounded the Bianqiu and its surrounding areas were unscrupulous and could let go of the attack. If Lu County falls into the hands of thieves, the thieves have territory and population, and they will be able to join hands to form an alliance against the official army. It is conceivable that Qilu will soon fall into greater chaos, and this chaos will inevitably affect the sailor's expedition across the sea. Under the anger of Rong Gong (Lai Hu'er) and Chen Gong (Zhou Fashang), they will inevitably be angry with Ming Gong, and the emperor and the central center will also blame Ming Gong. Although Ming Gong is loyal and dedicated, the result is very different from the above wishes, how can he escape responsibility? β
"If the Duke of Ming does his best to rescue Lu County, recover Yangguan, recover Juping and Liang's father, and drive the Mengshan thieves back to Mengshan, then the Mengshan thieves and all the thieves from all walks of life will defeat the encirclement formed by the Banqiu and its surrounding areas, and the danger of Lu County and Duan Lingjun will be solved. After capturing Yangguan, he could immediately divide his troops and return to Qi County, and not give thieves from all walks of life any chance to sneak attack Qi County. In this way, it will be able to accomplish a great success, not only inflicting heavy losses on the thieves, destroying the possibility of the thieves forming an alliance, but also effectively curbing the further deterioration of the Qilu crisis, and helping the sailors to cross the sea expedition within the predetermined time. β
Qin Qiong's tendencies were too strict, and as a Qi man, he was determined to go south to support Lu County.
Zhang Yuanbei was quite annoyed and immediately refuted. First, Pengcheng is only a few hundred miles away from Lu County, and Zuo Xiaoweifu and its main force Zhu Yingyang are all in Pengcheng, whether it is Liang Dezhong or Cui Deben, they dare not save, not because of the cold lips and teeth, the thieves will pose a threat to Pengcheng after capturing Lu County, but the emperor and the center will pursue the crime afterwards, Lu County and Pengcheng are adjacent and close at hand, but you don't save them, what is the purpose? Liang Dezhong and Cui Deben could not bear this responsibility. In addition, Cui Deben is from the first wealthy family in Shandong, and the Beihai Duan clan and the Qilu aristocratic group are an important part of the Shandong aristocratic group.
Qin Qiong sneered and asked directly, last year, the thieves in Xuzhou were small, and Dong Chun and Liang De surrounded and intercepted them, but they failed, allowing the thieves in Xuzhou to flee into Lu County and go to Mengshan, which then directly affected the situation in Qilu. How could the Xuzhou thieves escape to Lu County and go to Mengshan? Who is it that wants to let the Xuzhou thieves enter the Qilu region? What is its real purpose? Although there are no answers to these questions, one thing is for sure, don't count on the people of Xuzhou. Since the people of Xuzhou drove their own thieves into Qilu, how could they help Qilu kill their own thieves?
The two sides do not give in to each other and are in dispute.
Zhang Xutuo had been pondering, and suddenly, he stretched out his hand and shook at Qin Qiong and Zhang Yuanbei, signaling the two to stop fighting.
"Whether the Qi army is going south, or whether it is divided into two, it is all a passive response, in fact, we have no certainty of reversing the situation." Zhang Xutuo Zhengse said, "If you want to reverse the crisis, you can only take the initiative to deal with the battle, and you can only deal a heavy blow to the thief, so can we calculate it?" β
