Zhao Shizhu disagreed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info before the rebels had crossed the Sanggan River to attack the city and pull out the village, burn and kill the plunder, when he was in the famine, heard the news and rushed back, helpless to lack of troops, can only passively defend, while recruiting local township regiments to solve the urgent need. After that, the two sides had contact several times, but Zhao Shizhu's purpose was to control the situation, and the rebels were also mainly containing and had no intention of fighting a decisive battle, so both sides were very restrained, retreated at the first touch, and did not fight. Then Zhao Shizhu and Duan Da had a conflict, passively slacking off, and the rebels withdrew to Qiyishui for some reason, the two sides distanced themselves, and the war was suspended. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and after just a few days, the rebels made a comeback.

"Ming Gong, according to the scout's report, the rebels who crossed the river to the north this time are very large, with tens of thousands of people, and their purpose is obviously to come to the entire Yanbei, we must go all out to guard against it, and urgently report to the Liufu to ask for support." Sima Shao Jing'an saw that Zhao Shizhu was "indifferent", he didn't pay attention to it at all, and was very anxious, although he knew that Zhao Shizhu had been in a depressed mood recently, depressed, and very negative, and he could not guess that it was related to the competition for the position of "deputy left-behind", but now the situation is critical, and the result of passive slackness is very serious.

"Tens of thousands?" Zhao Shizhu glanced at Shao Jing'an dissatisfiedly and sneered, "Alarmist." Order the scouts, report after the investigation is clear, don't panic, and don't talk nonsense to confuse the army, otherwise it will be severely punished. ”

Shao Jing'an secretly complained to himself, and after hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously, "Duke Ming, according to the news of the Liushou Mansion, in recent days, the rebels in the direction of Gaoyang have retreated to Changshan Pass on all fronts, and the rebels in the direction of Shanggu have also shrunk to Puyin. I heard that the king of Qi had also led his army into the upper valley. ”

Shao Jing'an said very implicitly, but the meaning is obvious, the rebels evacuated northern Hebei, it is impossible to trap the flying fox, passive defense, must take the initiative to attack, to take advantage of the emptiness of Yanbei's troops, Beidu Sanggan to lay a few cities, in order to expand the territory, seize the opportunity, and lay the foundation for a foothold in Yanbei, for which the possibility of pouring out of the nest is very large.

Zhao Shizhu was silent. Of course, he knew that Shao Jing'an's analysis was reasonable, the Weifu side must be prepared, and several important cities in the hinterland of Yanbei, such as Huairong and Guangning, should be heavily defended, but his mood was too bad, and when he thought that the Yin Shishi was about to come to point fingers at him, he was angry and angry, more uncomfortable than eating flies, and he really had no enthusiasm to take the initiative to "act", but it was not good to do nothing, after all, the safety of Yanbei's town was very important, and there was no room for failure.

Shao Jing'an saw that Zhao Shizhu was silent and moved, so he continued to speak, "Ming Gong, the rebels are now in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and they are very passive. The rebels attacked Yanbei with the intention of coercing us to compromise and make concessions by taking advantage of the safety of the Great Wall, so as to give them precious time to survive the crisis, and when the heavy snow came, they would have a chance to breathe, but the stability of Yanbei directly affected the development of north-south relations, and the rebels could not tolerate the rebels destroying and deteriorating the north-south relations, so if nothing else, the left-behind government would immediately send a large number of reinforcements into Yanbei to suppress the thieves, and even the king of Qi might go north to the border. ”

Zhao Shizhu glanced at Shao Jing'an, his eyes showing appreciation. Shao Jing'an came from the Youyan family, a local aristocratic bureaucrat, and had a thorough understanding of the situation in Youyan and even northern Xinjiang, and talked about the "key point" in one sentence, and the "key point" was the King of Qi. In the past two years, in order to kill the white thief, the king of Qi chased from Qilu to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to Hebei, and now from Hebei to Yanbei. If the Holy Lord and the center acquiesce to King Qi to Yanbei to pursue and suppress the white thief, then the matter of suppressing the thief will rise to a political level, and the situation in Yanbei will inevitably undergo major changes.

Now Zhao Shizhu is quietly watching the changes, he does not dare to have a "big move", whether it is to suppress thieves or to defend the border, he is very "negative", so as not to offend people who should not be offended after the situation changes, and disaster will fall from the sky. Therefore, Zhao Shizhu's "passivity" actually has a deep meaning, and it is not just a battle of will in the officialdom, but a pretense of the battle of will in the officialdom to cover up his fear of the change in the situation in Yanbei, worried that he will be swallowed up by the fierce power game behind this change, and he will be a victim of the power struggle in vain.

"You mean, the rebels' fanfare attacking Yanbei is a bluff, and the white thieves have other plans?" Zhao Shizhu asked slowly.

"The northern border of Yan, there are northern captives outside, heavy troops inside, barren and barren, and the living conditions are very bad, can the white thief be? Will they kill themselves? Therefore, a certain believes that the real target of the white thief should be Hebei, and the attack on Yanbei is actually to go south to Hebei, but in Hebei Zhan, he also faces the encirclement and suppression of the Weifu army on all sides, so the white thief thought of an idea to divert the tiger from the mountain, first hit Yanbei, confuse the situation in Yanbei, deteriorate the security of the town, provoke the confrontation between the north and the south, and attract all the Weifu troops in Hebei and Youzhou to Yanbei, and then he can go south to Hebei, burn, kill and plunder. ”

"It's a possibility." Zhao Shizhu frowned slightly, "What's the plan?" ”

"Ming Gong, if the rebels cross Sanggan on a large scale just to make a posture of attacking Yanbei, just to create a tense situation to mislead us into making wrong judgments, and the white thief is just bluffing, then the white thief will definitely not dare to confront us head-on, let alone fight with us, he wants to preserve his strength to the greatest extent in order to go south to fight Hebei."

Zhao Shizhu comprehended. Shao Jing'an does not object to his "inaction", but considering the current tension and the major changes that may occur in the future, "inaction" is obviously too passive, and the slightest carelessness will drive him to a dead end, so he should take the initiative to "act" and cover up the real "inaction" with false "actions".

Zhao Shizhu weighed it for a long time, but still accepted Shao Jing'an's suggestion. Now the Holy Lord and the center are in the Linshuo Palace, close at hand, the slightest disturbance on the side of Yanbei will be transmitted to the palace, if he faces the attack of the white thief and does not come out, he is afraid and does not fight, and allows him to burn, kill, plunder and confuse the situation in Yanbei, and even endanger the safety of the town, it is very likely to be severely punished by the Holy Lord and the center. In addition, it is not worth it to have a conflict with Duan Da because of a dispensable deputy left-behind position, which hurts decades of friendship. Besides, the Yin Shi Shi is deeply trusted by the Holy Lord and valued by the Holy Lord, this kind of person has a bright future, and the position of Zhuo Jun's deputy is insignificant to him, it is just a temporary excess, after the crisis, the Yin Shi Shi is very likely to be promoted to the rank of Lord and go further in his career, so he should face up to the reality, should put himself in the right position, and should use this opportunity to have a good relationship with the Yin Shi Shi, and he may be able to help himself in the future.

"The order, Zhu Yingyang immediately assembled, and summoned all the township regiments and sects to march west overnight to kill the traitors."

August 27, early morning, on the north bank of the Sanggan River, the small city of Changyi.

The sudden and violent sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the darkness, whistling from far and near. The white fluttering Li Fengyun led a team of cavalry guards, flying all the way in the hazy night, hunting with flags, rolling in the black, and the momentum was like a tiger, rolling into the small city like the wind.

Guo Ming, the head of Huben, Zhang Xiang, the deputy head of Huben, and Sima, the secretary, and the military staff greeted each other in front of the largest mansion in the small city.

The neighing of the horses and the abrupt cessation of hooves set off a cool breeze on the autumn night. Li Fengyun dismounted, and while untying the windshield scarf that covered most of his face, he waved his hand at Guo Ming and Zhang Xiang who came up.

Li Fengyun's personal guard Xu Siliu took advantage of everyone's intimate greetings to help Li Fengyun untie the big scarf, and then took the windshield scarf from his hand, and then stuffed it to Fengyunwei behind him, never leaving Li Fengyun an inch.

Sima Yuan'an, Xiao Yi, and Li Mengwei, who participated in the military, came from behind, and everyone laughed and talked again.

Yuan An has been following Li Fengyun for the past two years, has been in battle for a long time, has been through wind and rain, the whole person has changed, calm and wise, and Li Fengyun values his mellow and flexible way of doing things with others, which not only allows him to calmly maneuver around various forces, but also seeks common ground while reserving differences to the greatest extent, and brings everyone together to unite and cooperate, which is too precious.

Xiao Yi was very excited, and his whole body was filled with passion, I don't know if it was because of the stimulation of him by going out of the jam and killing the captives, or because this kind of adventure on the edge of life and death made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself, in short, this wealthy man who was casually "abandoned" in the alliance by the twelve ladies of the Cui family is also maturing in the tempering of the war. Before Li Fengyun fought fiercely in the Eastern Capital, Xiao Yi originally wanted to go, but was dissuaded by Li Fengyun, after all, the current queen is from the Xiao family, and the relationship between the Xiao family and the Holy Lord and the royal family is too close, once there is an accident, Xiao Yi's identity is exposed, and hitting the Holy Lord and the queen in the face is really damaging the reputation of the Xiao family. This time, Li Fengyun didn't want to take him out of the plug, it was too dangerous, and he couldn't explain if he died. Xiao Yi was angry and wanted to turn his face with Li Fengyun, which won him a very exciting adventure opportunity.

Li Mengwei is a new face, but he is a descendant of the Li family of Zhaojun, a wealthy family, with a respected identity, and the backers behind him are too strong, and the heroes of this kind of strong alliance have seen it. The reason why the alliance went north smoothly was because of the protection of the Li clan of Zhao County, this kind of protection is basically an open secret, but no force dares to jump out and poke this secret, this is not a question of whether there is evidence or not, but whether you dare to be the enemy of the entire Shandong people. Therefore, Li Mengwei is highly respected and very popular in the alliance, in a sense, his existence is equivalent to telling everyone that there is the support of Shandong giants behind the alliance, of course, the iron still needs its own hardness, if you can't get on the wall, you can't complain that the giants abandoned you.

After the gossip, Li Fengyun walked into the mansion surrounded by everyone, and asked straight to the point, "Huairong sent troops to stop the killing, what are your countermeasures?" ”
