The military and political affairs of the Northern Sui Dynasty were not one, but two sets of teams and two systems, although sometimes because of local conscription, war mobilization, and logistical support, the two systems would meet, but most of the time they had nothing to do with each other. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Xuan gave Ziwei Pavilion enough power, but it was unambiguous in military power, which is also a power that emperors will never let go of since ancient times, whether it is Li Yuan, Wang Shichong or Zhang Xuan, they have always firmly held military power in their own hands.

In this Turkic intelligence station incident, Zhang Xuan never let Ziwei Pavilion participate, and he has his own civil and military officials in the military system.

In the meeting hall of the Qi Wang Building, Zhang Xuan, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ling Jing, Jia Runfu, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Wang Bian, and other eight high-ranking civil and military officials were nervously discussing the countermeasures on the front line of Youzhou.

Jang Hyun had decided to rush to Anle County immediately, but he had to put this matter through to death before leaving.

"This matter is not trivial, we need to implement a few heads, first of all, the garrison of Youzhou, at present, the garrison of Youzhou is mainly concentrated in the first line of Shanggu County, to prevent the Turks from invading from the Flying Fox Road, and the defense of the eastern line is relatively weak, General Su Dingfang can lead 30,000 troops to Anle County to station."

Zhang Xuan said to Su Dingfang: "Set off on the tenth day of the first month!" ”

Su Dingfang got up and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"It's not enough to have 30,000 troops, General Wang Wei can lead the Benwei army to be stationed in Zhuo County, responsible for receiving the east and west lines, and this army will set off on the 17th day of the first month."

Wang Wei got up and clenched his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

Luo Shixin was a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Marshal, can you have a task for your humble position?" ”

"It's all very important to sit in town, you don't have to think about anything now, once the war situation requires it, I'm afraid you will also go to the battlefield."

Luo Shixin sighed secretly, and had to bow down and say, "I look forward to that day." ”

Zhang Xuan asked Shen Guang again, "Is the Wind Thunder Army back?" ”

"Marshal Qiyu, he is already on the way back, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Zhongdu the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Xuan is leaving tonight, and he has no time to commend them, so he can only wait for him to come back, and he said to Shen Guang again: "The scout army must act immediately, and cooperate with the Fang army division to dig out the Turkic cavalry hiding in the Northern Sui, this army is very strong, try to outwit it and minimize the casualties of our army." ”

"The lowly position is ready to be dispatched at any time."

Zhang Xuan nodded and said to Fang Xuanling: "I repeat, now is not the time to hold accountable and reorganize the Intelligence Agency, now we must solve the urgent matter, this Turkic cavalry hidden in the Northern Sui is our henchmen, but they will definitely have clues, please take full responsibility for this matter, they must be dug out and eliminated before the end of winter, I suggest that you can use the experience of dealing with Liu Heimin, point and face, General Shen's scout army is responsible for the face, and conduct extensive investigation, and the Feng Lei army is responsible for the point, digging deep into the suspicious places." , so please ask the military division to deploy it uniformly. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded silently, he knew the importance of this matter, but he didn't have any clues at the moment, so where should he start? Maybe you can get a little clue from Cheng Shao Yanshan in Anle County.

After making a comprehensive remedial deployment, Zhang Xuan wrote another handwritten letter, sent people north to Kulun Lake, and sent the letter to the great chief of the Baye Ancient Tribe, Tulle, reminding him that the Turks were likely to launch a surprise attack on the Baye Ancient Tribe.

......

When Zhang Xuan left the official house and returned to his house, it was already dusk, and hundreds of cavalry escorted Zhang Xuan's carriage to the outside of Ziwei Palace.

That is, how could there be thirty war horses in the mule and horse shop in the West Market?

If there were really only thirty Turkic cavalry, he could understand it, but if it was hundreds of Turkic cavalry, what was the point of putting thirty war horses in Zhongdu?

Of course, it is possible that there are only thirty Turks, so do they have to ride war horses?

Zhang Xuan was a little suspicious that these thirty war horses were actually just a smoke released by the Turks, and they were placed in the middle capital to deliberately expose them, so as to make them misjudge.

The people who came may not be Turkic at all, but Han masters who have been bought by the Turks, and they have already lurked in the central capital.

In any case, he had to take all precautions and leave another letter for Fang Xuanling.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Qi Palace, and as soon as Zhang Xuan walked into the mansion gate, his wife Lu Qing anxiously greeted him and asked, "Husband, what happened, why do you want to go out again?" ”

Zhang Xuan sent someone back in the afternoon to deliver a letter to his wife, asking her to clean up for herself, and she was going to set off overnight.

Zhang Xuan knew that the family was very busy this New Year, and the whole family had to take care of him, but Pei Zhizhi's delivery date was likely to be before the New Year, which made the family even worse, so many things were pressed on his wife alone, Zhang Xuan was really sorry in his heart.

He said apologetically: "Today, we caught the Turkic spies, and found that there was a big hole in our defense, and the time is very urgent, if this hole is not plugged in time, the Turkic army is likely to directly enter Hebei from Youzhou." ”

Lu Qing's face turned white with fright, if that was the case, wouldn't the Lu family be wiped out?

"Husband, is the problem serious?" She asked wistfully.

"Now that the grassland is covered with heavy snow, we still have time, as long as the leakage is plugged in time, it should be remedied, so I have to hurry up and go north to Youzhou overnight, good wife, I'm really sorry, so many things are for you to worry about."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, husband!" If my husband doesn't come back in the New Year, I'll take Jill to help me, and this little girl won't go back to the palace all day long in our house. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Invite Empress Xiao to celebrate the New Year together, she is also strange and lonely in the palace, you are all together, and it is also lively!" ”

Lu Qing smiled: "Are you not afraid of people saying that you ignore the etiquette system now?" ”

"You can't be too rigid, in fact, I have figured it out, the person who wants to accuse you, even if you do it perfectly, he will chase after the wind and spread rumors, recognize your people, even if you do too much, he can find a reason to defend you, isn't it?"

Lu Qingyan smiled, "It seems that my husband has opened his mind!" ”

Zhang Xuan laughed and asked again, "What about Wu Niang?" I've got something to look for her. ”

"She should be there for Zhizhi, doesn't the husband see Zhizhi?"

"Let's go see her again before you go! I'll go to the study first to clean up, and let Xinyu come to see me later, and you come along, I have something important to tell you. ”

Zhang Xuan hugged his wife, and went to the inner study, he packed some items and was about to start writing a letter, at this time, Lu Qing walked into the study with a bowl of ginseng tea, followed by Wu Niang and Xin Yu.

"Husband, what's the matter?"

"Come on! We sat down and talked. ”

Zhang Xuan asked the three of them to sit down, and Wu Niang saw a trace of worry in her husband's eyes, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xuan hesitated and said, "I'm a little worried about the safety of my family. ”

All three were taken aback, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Xuan briefly told Wu Niang and Xin Yu about the Turks, and finally said to the three: "So far, we all think that an elite Turkic cavalry has infiltrated Hebei because we have seen war horses, but just as we never thought that the Turks would enter from Anle County before, they are very good at camouflage to confuse us, what if it is not the Turkic cavalry, but the Turkic assassins?" Their target is, of course, me, but it could also be my family. ”

Next to him, Xin Yu said: "The general is right, my father once told me that the Turks have always liked to attack the enemy's family, this is their tradition, my eldest mother and the second and third uncles died in a sneak attack by the Turks." ”

Lu Qing and Wu Niang glanced at each other, they both thought of the child, would the Turkic assassins attack the child? Both of them tugged at each other.

Zhang Xuan said again: "I thought about it repeatedly, but I decided to let you live in the palace with your children, the palace is more heavily guarded, there are 5,000 troops guarding the periphery, and 2,000 guards patrolling and guarding, there are female guards in the inner palace, and there are as many as 300 female guards in the Qi Palace's palace and the inner palace, which should be regarded as an iron wall, so that I can rest assured." ”

Lu Qing didn't like living in the palace too much, she felt a little depressed, not as free as in her own home, but for the safety of her children, this little thing was no longer a problem.

She nodded, "Since my husband said so, we will pack up and enter the palace tomorrow, and we will come back when the Turkic war has completely subsided!" ”

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with his wife's words, he could go with confidence.

That night, Zhang Xuan left Zhongdu under the escort of 2,000 cavalry and galloped in the direction of Youzhou. (To be continued.) )
