Chapter 217: Fanning the Flames
Gao Biao never dreamed that the imperial court would remove him from the position of Huainan Jiedu envoy, although it was said that he would return to the capital to serve as the Pingzhang Shi and the Ministry of Rites, which looked very beautiful, after all, he had entered the highest level of the imperial court, but unfortunately this prime minister was nothing compared to the position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy.
Gao Biao is proud of the 100,000 army under his command, and it is precisely because of this 100,000 army that although the court is not satisfied with him, and some people in the court hate him to the core, but they are helpless, even if he does not obey the imperial decree of the court, including the emperor's holy decree, he can still be in Huainan Road.
If you want to say that there is no change in the court, there will be no change in the emperor, but why does the court have such a plan, the emperor is ready to make an order, Gao Biao of course understands the reason, that is, because of the rise of the iron-blooded army.
Because of the rise of the Iron Army, the status of the 100,000 army under his command is not very important, and it cannot be compared with before in the eyes of the imperial court, so the imperial court is about to do it.
If there was no iron-blooded army to occupy Shannan Dongdao, Gao Biao would not care about the decision that the imperial court was going to make, and he also concluded that the imperial court would not dare to really make a decision, after all, it was the 100,000 army under his command that stabilized the south, once this army was dispersed, Huang Chao would inevitably ravage the entire south, and the emperor and the imperial court would never want to see such a situation.
Gao Yu will not sit still.
After thinking about it calmly, he made a decision, because of the iron-blooded army of Shannan Dongdao, because of Li Rupei, his decision has changed somewhat, and he will not do it as before, which requires a certain strategy, he left Huainan Province, temporarily went to the capital to take office, leaving trustworthy people to control Huainan, and then let the situation in the south change, I believe that at that time, the imperial court is afraid that he will be required to continue to serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.
Priest entered the room. The look on his face was very calm.
"Master Bi, I came to you today, do you know what it is."
Gao Biao's expression was very serious, and Bi Shiduo also knew it, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was full of desire, since Gao Biao came to him at this critical moment, it meant that he would be given a heavy responsibility.
"My subordinates don't know what the marshal commands."
"The last time you went to Suizhou, you found Zhu Wen. This Zhu Wen really doesn't know how to lift, what you did, Li Rupei must be clear, so he also thought of a way to deal with him, this can really be treated in the way of others, Li Rupei is just a yellow-haired child, thinking that moving out of the court will be able to make someone submit, he thinks too simply. ”
Bi Shiduo lowered his head and did not speak, which he also disagreed with earlier. It's a pity that Gao Biao insisted on letting him go to Suizhou, which is probably Gao Biao's overconfidence.
"The emperor asked a certain person to go to the capital and serve as the secretary of the Ping Zhangshi and the Ministry of Rites."
Bishiduo finally looked surprised, even though he had known about it from other secret sources.
"The emperor can't do this. Who doesn't know that the south can be pacified by relying on the marshal, and if the marshal leaves Huainan Road, how can the imperial court stabilize the south. ”
A smile finally appeared on Gao Yu's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Maybe it's because of these years that the South has been stabilized. The imperial court doesn't care, since the imperial court has made such a decision, it can't resist the decree. I still have to go to the capital, but there is no way to take away this 100,000 army, and today I will write a note recommending you to be the deputy envoy of Huainan and lead the 100,000 army. ”
Bi Shiduo lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
Gao Biao is also smart, and did not recommend Bi Shiduo to serve as the Huainan Jiedu envoy, but as a deputy envoy, so that the position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy must be vacant, and Bi Shiduo commanded an army of 100,000 as a deputy envoy.
Maybe he has been in a high position for too long, Gao Biao has too much self-confidence, thinking that it is already very good to let Bi Shiduo serve as the deputy envoy, and if Bi Shiduo is appointed as the Huainan Jiedu envoy, how can he come back in the future, he can't directly remove Bi Shiduo from the post of Jiedu envoy.
Gao Yu's consideration was correct and well thought out, but he didn't take into account the thoughts of Bi Shiduo and the others, nor did he think about what Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi would think, in his opinion, these three people were all his subordinates, and they were his trusted subordinates, and he would not have any opinions on the arrangements he made.
Gao Yu didn't pay attention to Bi Shiduo's expression, and then spoke.
"Bi Shiduo, the 100,000 army is delivered to you, you are relieved, you have a lot of things to do during the time you leave Yangzhou, you have to remember that the more chaotic the south, the greater your credit."
Bi Shiduo raised his head, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, but he quickly understood what Gao Yu meant, which was obviously to blackmail the court and the emperor.
"There are a lot of problems in the south today, Huainan Road has Huangchao's 100,000 army, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, hum, the iron-blooded army exterminated Huangchao, where is it to talk about such simple things, Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road are not very calm, but some problems are covered up, once there is a wind and grass, many problems will break out, your task is to let these problems completely break out, the more violent the better, then let the iron-blooded army find a way to extinguish it, a certain is to see, how capable the iron-blooded army can be, is not able to solve all problems. ”
"The first thing that needs to be done is to send someone to contact Huang Chao and tell Huang Chao not to cause trouble in Huainan Road, as for other places, let him watch it, I believe he can understand it......"
A sneer appeared on Gao Yu's face.
Master Bi clasped his fists and saluted.
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates must do what the commander asks."
After Bi Shiduo left, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi came in.
Gao Biao still got straight to the point, telling the two that he was going to the imperial court, and had recommended Bi Shiduo to be the deputy envoy of Huainan Province, responsible for all matters in Huainan Province, including commanding the 100,000 army, and asked the two to cooperate with Bi Shiduo more.
Gao Biao also clarified his point of view to the two, that is, to make chaos in the south.
Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi also understood the meaning.
Bi Shiduo returned to the barracks and stayed alone in his room.
The expression on his face was very bad, Gao Biao made such an arrangement, which was beyond his expectations, it is said that recommending him to be the envoy of Huainan Jiedu should be nothing, he will not oppose Gao Biao, Gao Biao can also command remotely in the capital, but unfortunately Gao Biao does not fully believe in him at all, and they are all prime ministers of the DPRK and China, and they still want to firmly control all matters in Huainan Province, where in the world is there such a good thing.
There are big problems with not being able to serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, first of all, the name is not right, the deputy envoy is not the real person in charge, many things can not be deceived, only coordinated, which also indicates that Bi Shiduo cannot really control power, and secondly, it is difficult to deal with Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others, if the two do not obey the dispatch, Bi Shiduo has no way, he can only watch with his eyes open, and the two can still directly obey Gao Yu's orders, in this case, let Bi Shiduo do things, In the end, it is to let everyone have hope, after all, the position of the Huainan Jiedu envoy is vacant, anyone can possibly take the position of the Jiedu envoy, many people can stare at this position and make their best efforts, including Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others, and the final result is also uncertain, which makes Bi Shiduo's situation very difficult.
The most important thing is that Bi Shiduo is not a fool, nor is he a person without male ambition.
Gao Biao proposed to let the south be in chaos, whether this chaos can be controlled, if it is so chaotic that it is uncontrollable, who will be responsible, if the imperial court must be investigated, will he become a standard scapegoat.
Master Bi would not do such a stupid thing.
Of course, he can't go against Gao Biao's requirements, after all, the 100,000 army has been run by Gao Biao for many years, and most of the officers in the army are Gao Biao's henchmen, and he is not yet able to control the 100,000 army, so in this case, he can only give in and temporarily follow Gao Biao's requirements.
Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi returned to the barracks and did not go to see Bi Shiduo according to Gao Yu's request, both of them were unconvinced in their hearts, why could Bi Shiduo become the deputy envoy, why should the two of them obey Bi Shiduo's dispatch, Bi Shiduo is not the Huainan Jiedu envoy after all, the deputy envoy is just a coordination, even if the Jiedu envoy is not, he can't make a decision.
The two even hid in the house and had a secret discussion, from this time on, they wanted to unite to deal with Bi Shiduo, so that Bi Shiduo could not do things with peace of mind, once Bi Shiduo did something to cause trouble, causing serious consequences, the two would have the opportunity to overthrow Bi Shiduo and replace him.
As for the fact that there must be competition between the two, that is a matter of the future, and the most important task of the two at present is to work together to deal with Bi Shiduo.
Gao Biao summoned a lot of military officers, including some officials from Yangzhou and other places, and made full arrangements.
After doing these things, Gao Biao was very happy, thinking that his arrangement was seamless, after all, Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others were all his henchmen, and they would do things according to the requirements, and the 100,000 army could also be stabilized, once there was a problem in the south, when he returned to Huainan Dao again, all the circumstances would change, and at that time, he Gao Biao could also be a feudal town in the south, and he could also become the most powerful feudal town.
As for Li Rupei and the Iron Army, Gao Biao is not too worried, Li Rupei, who occupies Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, is afraid that he doesn't have so much energy to care about other places, and it would be good to be able to control these two places.
Gao Biao would never have thought that because of his distrust, because of his overconfidence, his arrangement had already buried a huge hidden danger for himself, and he would have no chance to return to Huainan at all, and he would not have the ability to continue to control the 100,000 army.
