……
Wu Fan came and went quickly, leaving the right prime minister Cui Shi, the queen Ma Su, and the little prince Yang Yi to look at each other, and more than two hours ago, they were worried about each other's problems with Yang Xuangan's rebels, and they all relaxed at this time.
There was a brief silence.
Wu Fan appeared as a hero, and Old Man Cui was in a trance for a while. After all, he is not an ordinary person, and decades of court experience have given him a keen sense of smell, especially for some bad things. He twisted his silver-white beard, shripped his shriveled lips a few times, wanted to say something, and was happy in the face of Queen Ma's light smile, but he didn't say it after all.
Old Man Cui sighed secretly, saluted Queen Ma and the little prince, and retired from Qifeng Hall to go out.
The sky in the middle of August in the north was as blue as a wash without a trace of other colors, and the bright sunshine bathed in the body of Old Man Cui, but he didn't feel any warmth.
Wu Fan ordered the imperial capital to stay behind, and before going south to quell the rebellion, he overbearingly trained the Four Guards, and drove away many noble children and generals one after another. After going to Yangzhou, the Four Guards were still firmly pinched by his people. After getting Gao Zhizhi and the others, he sat back and watched the wind and clouds rise in the north, and he didn't come back until now...... Old man Cui saw many different meanings of the deposit.
What Old Man Cui wanted to say to Queen Ma was that in the case of Wu Fan and Yang Xuangan's conquest, the purpose of using the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wei Xuan was to play a balancing role.
War is a wonderful thing, it originates from the extension of the political system, the tendency to prosper in the political system, and the final theory of death in the political system. But it is also a murderous creature, once it cannot be controlled. It can counter and destroy the government......
Yang Xuangan rebelled against the imperial court and attacked Luoyang. It's a political zhì.
Wu Fan grasped Luoyang and confronted Yang Xuangan. It's a political zhì.
But.
Wu Fan's family is the only one in the imperial capital, and all the soldiers and horses are commanded by him, which is out of the realm of politics and rises to a dangerous level!
Old Man Cui didn't make it clear to Queen Ma, he was just worried that the woman who was the mother of the world had confirmed that she would not participate, would not hinder, would not restrict any of Wu Fan's actions, and trusted Wu Fan's attitude, and if he said it at this time, it would not only slap people's faces, but also cause unnecessary trouble.
Old Man Cui slowly walked down the stone steps of white marble. refused the support of his entourage, and his emaciated body looked lonely and stubborn. As he walked, he thought about what to do...... Yes! The focus of his concern is not Yang Xuangan, but Wu Fan!
The worried old man Cui, patronizing Wu Fan, forgot about his physical safety, mixed garlic under his feet, and fell into a sturdy big belly.
The guards were shocked.
Old Man Cui wrinkled his old face in pain, and his expression was very hideous. gritted his teeth and said, "Ask someone to secretly inform Wei Wensheng and Wei Gong, Zuo Fengyi County is too guarded by Fan Zigai and Fan Huazong, and ask them to raise their own troops and horses to come to Luoyang to rescue" and fainted.
……
……
Although the Hussar General's Mansion was separated by a wall from the Champion Hou's Mansion, Wu Fan still did not return to his "home" to visit his wife and children. Instead, he chose to gather all the generals under his command at the "office location", including those temporarily under his jurisdiction.
"I'm back!"
Wu Fan said the first sentence briefly.
"Meet the General!"
There are about hundreds of generals and colonels, and they bow down to see it. The excitement is palpable.
A good reputation is a good thing.
It is a fact that Wu Fan's personality is not good, but no one will deny his ability to fight and fight. The current situation. It is precisely the situation when a general who can fight well is needed.
Intuitive table xiàn――
Yang Xuan felt that tens of thousands of troops were overwhelmed, and the people in Luoyang City were panicked.
Wu Fan only led 800 guards to the scene. Luoyang became stable.
That's the potential!
Wu Fan glanced at everyone, said the second sentence, and said, "Each performs his duties, be more careful." ”
"Whoa!"
Everyone agreed.
Wu Fan waved his hand.
People who don't matter automatically retreat.
This is Will!
Those who are not descendants are gone, and those who remain are of course Wu Fan's descendants.
Wu Fan took a look and focused on the people he used to infiltrate the four guards in Luoyang, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Hu Yanzhuo...... Missing someone, he said, "Mr. Gao, where is Dong Ping?" ”
Gao Ying came out of the ranks, hesitated, and said: "Dong Ping has repeatedly violated military discipline, and his subordinates have to kill him!" ”
Thinking about Dong Ping's behavior, Wu Fan didn't blame Gao Ying, but said: "Military law is ruthless, you did the right thing!" ”
Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Fan didn't think it was enough, and slowly added: "You are the people I trust the most, everyone is." I'm not stingy, I'm not stingy, you know. Tell me what you want, or even if you don't, I can give it to you in advance...... I don't want anyone to die in vain like Dong Ping, understand? ”
The generals bowed their heads to show that they understood.
Wu Fan nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "There is no need to change the one in Luoyang City, Mr. Gao, you lead them to consolidate the city defense, protect Ziwei Palace, and I will use the people brought back from Yangzhou to fight." ”
The voice fell.
"Lord!"
"Fight!"
The face of the speaking life is round and the ears are big, the lips are wide and the mouth is square, and the beard is majestic. But...... His figure is seven feet long, and among the big generals with an average length of eight feet, he looks short, but not small, because his shoulders are wide and strong, far beyond anyone else, and even Luo Shixin's big body is incomparable.
It's not the "urgent pioneer" Suo Chao, which one?
"Yes! Lord! ”
"I have just arrived, and I am in a high position without an inch of success, how can I be at peace in my heart?"
The helper is "Thunderbolt Fire" Qin Ming, wearing a vermilion lacquer hat, wearing a crimson robe, and a chain of chain mail beasts swallowing his shoulders. The green combat boots are embedded in the clouds, the phoenix wings and bright helmets are shining in the sun, and the lion barbarian treasure is hanging from the waist. He is really a mighty tall and strong man.
Wu Fan smiled and persuaded: "There are many opportunities for meritorious service, and Yang Xuangan can make meritorious service." Defending Luoyang can also make meritorious contributions, I want to calm down as soon as possible......"
Wu Fan's words were not finished. was interrupted by Gao Ying.
Gao Ying coughed twice and said, "My lord." Can...... Moving on? ”
Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "There is no way to do it!" ”
Gao Ying and Wu Fan went to the courtyard behind the main hall and had a conversation alone.
Gao Ying asked, "Why did the lord want to calm Yang Xuangan earlier?" ”
Wu Fan pondered for a while and said: "The situation in Hebei and Shandong is rotten, and the rebels are not only Yang Xuangan. ”
Gao Ying groaned, shook his head, and said concisely, "Luoyang." The head of the world, the heart of the world! ”
Wu Fan was speechless.
……
……
Wu Fan returned to Luoyang, but there was no big move for the time being, and the small action was just to order people to announce that he had returned to Luoyang.
If you are outside, you must first settle inside.
The imperial capital city is calm, and everyone is united, and Wu Fan's conquest of Yang Xuangan's affairs will be smooth.
Out of the conversation with Gao Ying, Wu Fan was a little bored, and he appeared at a fork in the road that was difficult to choose.
Wu Fan thought of Jia Xu, who was a person who could help him find the right direction.
Jia Wenhe occupied Lan Xin'er's original position. With the intelligence network that Lan Xin'er painstakingly managed in his hands, and at the same time he actively contacted the Yellow Guard, plus some things handed over to him by Princess Xiyue who Wu Fan didn't know, he seemed to have become the world's leading intelligence leader.
Jia Xu will be at the center of his intelligence network. Set up in the Huayue Building, these days without leaving the house is busy...... As for what to do, you can't be humane to outsiders.
When Wu Fan was looking for Jia Xu. He was quite leisurely reading by the window, blowing the cool breeze outside, basking in the soft light of the afternoon. Occasionally, I twist the grapes from the Western Regions with my fingers, and the end of the fairy is happy/lively.
See Wu Fan coming. Jia Xu got up and saluted gently, still looking like he would rather die than speak.
Wu Fan sat down opposite Jia Xu, asked Jia Xu to sit down together, and said, "How much do you know about Yang Xuangan's power?" ”
Jia Xu thought for a while, turned around and found a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Wu Fan.
Wu Fan took it, glanced at it and praised it first: "The handwriting is good." ”
Jia Xu's words are beautiful hairpins, elegant and beautiful, like the gentle handwriting of a lady.
Jia Xu was silent, Wu was bored, so he could only continue to watch the content.
There are not many words on the paper, but every sentence is important, it is a list and the people on the list are short-lived.
Yang Liang and Yang Xuangan, the leaders of the rebel army, are indecisive and stubborn.
Li Mi and Li Xuandi, the rebel masterminds, are talented and decisive, and they are dragons and snakes.
And so on, a lot, including almost all the important figures of Yang Xuangan's rebels.
Wu Fan put away the paper, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Wenhe, you say...... I did my best to pacify Yang Xuangan, and then went out to Hebei and Shandong. Or is it better to calm down Yang Xuangan and sit and watch the world in Luoyang? ”
Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Why do you think you can hold Luoyang with a handle?" ”
Wu Fan was stunned.
Before Gao Ying said to Wu Fan, "Luoyang, the head of the world, the heart of the world", he told Wu Fan that the importance of the imperial capital city wanted Wu Fan to fight a protracted war with Yang Xuangan, and then quietly waited for the chaos in Hebei and Shandong to intensify, so as to use the influence of the center of the court to claim the king.
Jia Xu's words came to Wu Fan's heart, he felt that the majesty of the Great Sui had not reached the point of collapse and collapse, and he did not have the ability to completely control Luoyang, so he should kill Yang Xuangan as soon as possible, clear out the threat around Luoyang, and then go to suppress Hebei and Shandong. The advantages of this are twofold, one is the huge increase in prestige, and the other is that with the help of constant war, the soldiers and horses and strength that he can control are getting stronger and stronger.
Wu Fanmo rubbed his chin, stunned.
Jia Xu looked down at the book, probably feeling that Wu Fan's attention had recovered, and raised his head and said: "The northern part of Bohai County is the foundation of your lord, Luoyang City, no. ”
The time was close to evening, and the 10,000 cavalry led by Bai Qi entered from the Nancheng Pass of Luoyang.
Needless to say, Uncle Guo took his guards to Huayue Tower, ready to be chic and relaxed, and he was very angry after a few days of trekking...... Of course, Ya herself is not a person who can live a hard life.
Wu Fan happened to be leaving from Jia Xu, and ran into Guo Jia head-on, so he casually repeated the question to Jia Xu.
Uncle Guo's eyes turned to be a Taoist, and he immediately said: "This matter is simple, it is not contradictory in itself, take Luoyang as a base camp, and gradually drive Yang Xuangan to Hebei and Shandong, so that you can not only take care of Luoyang, but also gradually increase the number of soldiers and horses in your hand?" ”
Three wise men, three views.
Gao Ying thought that Luoyang was important.
Jia Xu thinks that strength is important.
Guo Jia thinks it's both.
In this way, it depends on Wu Fan's own choices and wrist level.
……
……
Wu Fan has a lot of troubles, and Yang Xuan has a lot of troubles there.
The difference is.
Wu Fan didn't take Yang Xuangan in his eyes, and Yang Xuangan was like a great enemy to Wu Fan.
Zhao Huaiyi, the former Taishou of Ji County, now Yang Xuangan's rebel army joined the army and reported: "My lord, today Wu Shouzheng attacked in the rear, and our army suffered about 3,500 casualties, of which 1,800 were killed on the spot......"
Yang Xuan interrupted Zhao Huaiyi's words irritably and said, "Okay!" I know! ”
Probably sensing that his tone was a little rushed, Yang Xuan sighed apologetically and said, "Huaiyi, you sit down first, wait for a while." ”
Zhao Huaiyi was a little worried, and continued: "The key is the soldiers and horses of Wu Shouzheng's army, and the corpses that were dropped are only eight ......."
Yang Xuangan's face suddenly became even worse.
"That is the 'personal guard battalion' in Wu Shouzheng's private army, you can see it from the banner!" , Li Mi walked in from the outside and said: "As far as I know, this is not the most elite under Wu Shouzheng, if it is discussed, it should be the 'sin military camp', and the soldiers are all the people who went to Yongliang with him to pacify the chaos." ”
Yang Xuan complained angrily: "Xuandi! Are you growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige? ”
Li Mi clenched his fists and said with a smile: "No! I mean, we have to be glad that his 'sin camp' is far away in Quanzhou! His 'personal guard battalion' has not been established for a long time, and it is the fruit of his night raid on the Turkic tent, similar to such a fierce soldier and horse...... Three thousand? The rest is all recruited by the Horsemen and him in the south! ”
Yang Xuangan frowned: "Didn't you notice that you are getting darker and darker?" ”
Li Mi said three times in a row, "No! No! No! ", explained: "Ming Gong, you don't understand, I mean, Wu Shouzheng's soldiers and horses are divided into several grades, and it is impossible for them to be as good at fighting as his 'personal guard battalion'." Moreover, just after visiting the Malay report, Wu Shouzheng mobilized 10,000 cavalry from the south to Luoyang, I think this is all the sergeants he can really call! The twenty or thirty thousand four guards in Luoyang City, we don't have to worry, because we are in the position of 'attacking', he is in the position of 'defending', and he has to worry about the defense of Luoyang City! ”
Li Mi's words were not clear, Yang Xuangan went around and around, and said in a summary manner: "So, Wu Shouzheng has few soldiers and is a cavalry in terms of troops, so he will not defend the city, and will definitely take the initiative to attack and seek to engage us?" ”
Li Mi stroked his palm and said with a smile: "That's right! Our army has more than 100,000 people, can't we defeat him? What is Ming Gong worried about? ”
Yang Xuan was happy
