Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Rise and Fall of Power
Wei Zeng raised troops in Mobei, Fan Kuyi also led the Jiangnan army to approach the hinterland of Anyun, and the border movements of the Chen soldiers of the Guanxi Army were unknown, and the situation in Anyun was not optimistic.
If other people were faced with this situation of being besieged, they would have been flustered a long time ago. But Lan Qi, who is now in control of An Yun's cabinet, is very sober.
He clearly understood that although Wei Zeng had defeated the main force of the Iron Blood Army in a row, and the momentum was unparalleled, as long as he guarded the border passes in the north, Wei Zeng would not be able to threaten the hinterland of Anyun.
Although Fan Guyi in Jiangnan captured several cities in the south of Anyun, the war has lasted for almost a year, and the sharp energy of the Jiangnan army has long been exhausted, and it will not be long before Fan Guyi will definitely retreat.
Lan Qi's only worry now is that the Kansai Army, which is on the sidelines, will choose to attack An Yun. In order to prevent the Kansai Army from standing on the opposite side of him, Lan Qi sent envoys to Kansai with rich gifts to meet with various people in power in Kansai and seek friendship with the Kansai Military Government; On the other hand, Lan Qi let 20,000 Anyun Iron Cavalry Chen soldiers on the border of Guanxi, showing off the most powerful force of the Iron and Blood Army.
But people are not as good as heaven, and as Yaodong regained stability, Yaodong's army made a comeback, which also brought huge pressure to Lan Qi.
"I know that if the army fails, we will have some trouble. But don't you think we're in too much trouble right now? After Lan Qi received the news of the invasion of the Yaodong army, he also had a headache, and after finding a group of cronies, he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but complain.
"Although the current situation is dangerous, the strength of my iron-blooded army is still there, and the teacher's ability is obvious to everyone. I believe that under the command of the teacher, we will be able to get through the current crisis. Please ask the teacher to arrange it. Shen Deqing said.
"Arrange it? How do you ask me to arrange it? Do you want me to be the enemy of the whole world? I can't think of a foolproof solution right now. Lan Qi said angrily.
"There is no perfect solution, and the elder should think about most people. For today's plan, the only way to make peace with Fan Yuyi and Wei Zeng is to do it. Fighting Jiangnan was what Lord Xian insisted on; The failure of the Northern Expedition to Mobei was also caused by the improper use of troops by the Xian people. Everyone else in the court and China has discussed, as long as Lord Xian abdicates, he will definitely be able to appease the anger of Fan Yuyi and Wei Zeng, and as long as the two of them withdraw their troops, our crisis will naturally be lifted. When Lan Qi was embarrassed, one person said tentatively.
"Hmm...... Is that really what the rest of the people in the DPRK and China think? Is this news reliable? Lan Qi's heart tightened when she heard this, but she didn't show it, just pretended to be interested and asked.
"This news is absolutely reliable. A relative of mine visited several other Excellencies a few days ago, and the other Excellencies all had the intention of doing righteous deeds for the sake of An Yun's overall situation. As long as the elder agrees, there will be no problems with everything. Rest assured, several other Excellencies said that as long as the elders can consider the interests of the majority, they are also willing to support the elders to continue to take charge of An Yun. The man said, his eyes glancing at Lan Qi from time to time, observing Lan Qi's expression, and seeing that Lan Qi did not show disgust, he said everything in one breath.
"For the sake of Anyun's overall situation, we must make a righteous move...... That sounds good. However, Lord Ken has been very kind to me, so let me force Lord Ken to abdicate, but I still can't do it. Lan Qi did it.
"You don't need to go out in person, you only need the consent of the elder Ge, and naturally someone will do it for the elder. At the critical moment of my Anyun, Ge Lao made a quick decision and stood on the side of righteousness, and no one would say that Ge Lao was not. The man said hurriedly.
"Your words are very reasonable, if the other ministers agree, I naturally have no opinion. Great righteousness is always much more important than small favors. Lan Qi said.
"If the Pavilion Elder agrees, I will inform the other Excellencies, and I think the other Excellencies will be happy to hear this news." The man said happily.
"Without further ado, you can hurry up. An Yun will get through the crisis sooner, and I will be relieved sooner. Lan Qi said.
The man saluted Lan Qi and left in a hurry. After the man left, Lan Qiping retreated from the others, leaving Shen Deqing alone.
"Does the teacher really plan to unite with others and force Ken-sama to abdicate? There is nothing wrong with him during his reign, and he is also kind to us, and we should not betray him at this critical moment. Shen Deqing said excitedly.
"Others don't understand me, don't you know me? How could I be on the opposite side of Ken-sama? Kendai is young and vigorous, and he is a little impulsive, but he is also a good person, and he is also impartial in handling political affairs. If I turn my back on Lord Xian and let those short-sighted people do nonsense, the whole Anyun will really be finished. Lan Qi said.
"Then why did the teacher say that in public just now?" Shen Deqing asked.
"There is only one person who speaks, but there is more than one person who is watching, and if I don't say that, how can they rest assured. They don't feel at ease, how can I let them show all that ugly face? Lan Qi said with a star.
"What the teacher means is to take this opportunity to catch them all." Shen Deqing said with an excited face.
"When the Constitution was in high esteem, everyone was loyal. But when Lord Xian's prestige was damaged and An Yun was in danger, the treacherous people revealed their true colors. The innocent shall not be killed, nor shall they be punished for a trumped-up crime, but if the evidence is conclusive, there shall be no room for them to be spared. Lan Qi said with a majestic face.
"I understand what the teacher means, I don't know what we should do next?" Shen Deqing said.
"After the Constitution handed over the military power, the Cabinet took over. Without my orders, they would not have thought of mobilizing a single soldier. Now that the commander of the defenders of Heluo City is still ours, you can take my letter of order and go well, and there must be no chaos. Lan Qi said, then took out the first auxiliary order letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Deqing.
Shen Deqing respectfully took the order letter in his hand, listened to Lan Qi's few instructions, and went down to make arrangements.
"The disaster of Xiao Wall is greater than that of external enemies, and only by cleaning up the interior of Heluo City can we concentrate more on dealing with the attack of external enemies. All the enemies are coming, how can there be a feeling of ambush on all sides? Haha, it's harder, but it's not unsolvable. I can't be wrong, and Peaches will definitely not fail me; As for Wei Zeng, he shouldn't be my An Yun's enemy. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lan Qi walked out of the house, asked someone to get into the carriage, and went to the mansion in the middle of the valley. (To be continued.) )
