Chapter 223: Counting is Counting
There are so many things that have happened in the south, of course, the court is aware of it, and the speed of knowing is very fast, and several court meetings have discussed the matter of the southern riots, but no decision has been made.
Gao Biao was originally very reserved, and did not take the initiative to talk about the many situations that happened in the south, but after several court meetings were inconclusive, he couldn't help it, and took the initiative to jump out and talk about things in the south, Huangchao was still entrenched in Huainan Road, Wang Xu and others rose up to rebel again, if the court ignored it and didn't want to deal with it seriously, these rebel forces colluded with Huangchao, wouldn't the entire south be dangerous.
Gao Biao is the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and the riots in the south are of course needed to be discussed and discussed in the court, in fact, everyone knows the solution, that is, Gao Biao returned to Huainan Province and continued to serve as the Huainan Festival envoy as the prime minister of the DPRK and China.
It's a pity that Gao Biao couldn't have imagined that there were two forces in the court that were resolutely opposed to this.
The force on one side is Tian Lingzi.
Finally took away Gao Biao's military power, Tian Lingzi would not be willing to continue to let Gao Biao return to Huainan Road, if this situation really occurs, it is to lose his wife and break the army, Gao Biao became the prime minister of the court, and concurrently served as the envoy of Huainan Festival, the power is bound to be greater, the power is bound to be more powerful, and at that time, Gao Biao is afraid to become the largest feudal town.
Tian Lingzi is not a fool, there is such a situation in the south, it must have something to do with Gao Biao, Huang Chao used to stay in the Anzhou area where Huainan Road belongs, the south is safe and sound, there are not too many situations, but Gao Biao left Huainan Road, and not long after coming to the capital, there were many riots in the south.
The situation is moving towards Gao Yu's predictions. Gao Yu's intention to coerce the imperial court was already very obvious, in such a situation, how could Tian Lingzi be obedient, he had to do his best to oppose it.
The strength of the other side is Zheng Jin.
Zheng Zheng had already received a letter from Li Rupei, and he knew the situation in the south, Gao Biao left Huainan Province, which had Li Rupei's meaning, of course, there were large-scale riots in the south, which was a little unexpected, but the iron-blooded army was stationed in Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road. It would be a lie to say that the unrest in the South could not be quelled.
The 100,000 army led by Gao Biao was able to basically pacify the south, not to mention the brave iron-blooded army.
Zheng Zheng knew very well that Gao Biao should never think about returning to Huainan Province, Li Rupei had already made arrangements, maybe in a short period of time, the Iron Blood Army would attack Huainan Province on a large scale, and the result would definitely be that the Iron Blood Army would control Huainan Road.
Follow this trend. It won't take long for Li Rupei to be able to completely control the entire south, and his strength will be unprecedentedly strong, and at that time. Li Rupei will definitely free his hands and start attacking the north.
Under such circumstances, Zheng Zheng of course had to oppose Gao Biao's return to Huainan Road.
Tian Lingzi, who controlled the government, opposed it, and Zheng Jin, the first prime minister of the DPRK, did not support it. Gao Biao realized that the problem was in trouble.
Gao Biao couldn't have imagined the Iron Army, but he didn't have a correct understanding of Li Rupei and the Iron Army, and the reason why he left Huainan Province in the first place. came to the capital to serve as the secretary of the Ping Zhangshi and the Ministry of Rites, also because of the underestimation of Li Rupei and the Iron Army, and at the same time, he fully believed in his own ability.
The 100,000 army under the command of Gao Yu still has some combat effectiveness, this army has experienced too many battles, especially in the fight with Huang Chao, it has been fully exercised, looking at the entire south, no one can compete.
But after several court meetings, the discussion did not come to any conclusion, and no one even proposed to let Gao Biao return to the south to quell the riots, even if he did not serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu for the time being, and only used the imperial court envoy to quell the riots.
Gao Biao didn't care about the riots in the south, he cared about whether he could return to Huainan Road, and whether there would be problems with the 100,000 troops under his command.
Bi Shiduo can't completely control the 100,000 army at all, when Gao Biao left Yangzhou, he also made sufficient arrangements, so that Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi controlled a part of the sergeants respectively, and restricted Bi Shiduo's dictatorship, but such an arrangement can only be an expedient measure, the army must have a core, otherwise after a long time, the division of the army is inevitable, or there is a fight between Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi, and the victorious person controls the army, but no matter what the situation is, the army's losses are heavy, It is absolute.
If that really happens, Gao Piao's heart will drip blood, after all, the heavy losses of the army under his command are difficult for any coach to bear, not to mention that this is Gao Piao's capital.
The time entered August, Gao Yu finally couldn't help it, and he wanted to fight for it directly at the court meeting.
Before this, Gao Biao had divined many times in the mansion, and he had received good signs about whether the situation in the south had deteriorated.
Gao Yu, who was convinced of divination, was even more determined to return to Yangzhou and personally quell the riots in the south.
On the fifth day of the eighth month, the court meeting began again.
The presiding officer of the court meeting was Zheng Jin, and Tian Lingzi, the lieutenant of the Shence Army, and Yang Fuguang, the privy envoy, all attended the court meeting.
As soon as the court meeting began, Gao Biao took the initiative to speak, talking about the turmoil in the south, especially emphasizing the stability of Huainan Province, everyone knows that the stability of Huainan Province involves the stability of the entire south, and now there are more than ten people who have rebelled, which has made the south out of turmoil, and this situation must be stopped.
This is the first time Gao Yu has taken the initiative to ask for help.
Tian Lingzi, Yang Fuguang and others, who participated in the court meeting, did not speak first, and looked at Zheng Zheng and many civil and military ministers.
Eunuchs are not qualified to participate in the court meeting, they can only control the government behind their backs, but unfortunately in Tian Lingzi, this situation has completely changed, Tian Lingzi, who was called his father by the emperor, directly participated in the court politics.
Tian Lingzi and the others did not speak, and many ministers of civil and military affairs could not speak.
Gao Biao felt lonely, his eyes looked at Zheng Jin, Liu Jurong and others, after all, they are all prime ministers, such a favor, the two prime ministers can speak.
It's a pity that Gao Yu was wrong.
Liu Jurong first put forward a suggestion, thinking that such a thing was not a particularly big matter, and the imperial court could send Ma Tengyun, the protector of the Shence Army, to Yangzhou to preside over the suppression of the riots in the south.
Liu Jurong's suggestion made Gao Biao's eyes breathe fire and his heart dripping blood, and really let Ma Tengyun go to Yangzhou, and there would be a riot in the 100,000 army immediately, and his Gao Biao's hard work would be ruined at that time.
After Liu Jurong finished speaking, Tian Lingzi also spoke, thinking that Liu Jurong's suggestion was good, and it could be considered that before that, Bi Shiduo and others should still try their best to stabilize the situation in the south.
Zheng Jin, who presided over the court meeting, heard these words, and only had admiration for Li Rupei in his heart, Li Rupei, who was thousands of miles away, had already expected the situation of the court meeting, Gao Biao took the initiative to return to Yangzhou, and the court meeting recommended Ma Tengyun to Yangzhou, these were all written directly by Li Rupei in the letter.
Very few people spoke at the court.
At the critical moment, Yang Fuguang spoke.
Everyone's eyes quickly focused on Yang Fuguang, and everyone knew that the relationship between Yang Fuguang and Tian Lingzi was not very good.
Sure enough, Yang Fuguang opposed sending Ma Tengyun to Yangzhou, the reason is very simple, Ma Tengyun is the middle protector of the Shence Army, and such an identity to preside over the pacification of the turmoil in the south is not justified, and Yangzhou has an army of 100,000 led by Bi Shiduo, after Ma Tengyun goes to Yangzhou, it will take time to adapt, I am afraid it will have an impact on the pacification of the riots in the south.
Yang Fuguang also did not agree to let Gao Biao return to Yangzhou, for the same reason as Liu Jurong said, to quell the riots in the south, there is no need for the prime minister of the DPRK and China to come forward, and there is a lesson from the past.
Yang Fuguang said these words, and the surroundings were silent, a few years ago, Wang Duo, the first prime minister of the court, went to suppress the rebellion of Huangchao, but unfortunately he was defeated, such a lesson from the past, the court is not willing to appear again.
Yang Fuguang's final meaning is that the 100,000 troops under Bi Shiduo can be responsible for quelling the riots in the south, and at the same time, the iron-blooded army stationed in Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road can also attack and quell the riots in the south.
Yang Fuguang took the initiative to mention the sensitive iron-blooded army, and even the emperor's eyes widened.
When Gao Biao left Huainan Road and came to the imperial court, there was an implicit agreement that the Iron Blood Army was responsible for exterminating the Yellow Nest, but no one would say this word.
Yang Fuguang asked the iron-blooded army to quell the riots in the south, Tian Lingzi and the others had different thoughts, the iron-blooded army sent troops to Huainan Province, there will definitely be losses, so Tian Lingzi is happy, but there are also things to worry about, if the iron-blooded army occupies the prefecture and county of Huainan Province and is unwilling to withdraw, wouldn't it make Li Rupei's strength even stronger.
Of course, there is a situation that Tian Lingzi is looking forward to, that is, the confrontation between the iron-blooded army and the 100,000-strong army stationed in Yangzhou, if the iron-blooded army wants to occupy Huainan Road, it must face the 100,000-strong army under Gao Yu, if it takes the initiative to withdraw from Huainan Road, then to pacify the riots in the south is to accompany the prince to study.
Tian Lingzi immediately spoke, agreeing with Yang Fuguang's proposal.
This is very rare.
Gao Yu's face turned pale, and he knew that he might not have a chance to return to Huainan Dao.
Zheng Jin, who presided over the court meeting, saw this situation and immediately expressed his approval, thinking that Yang Fuguang's proposal was very good, and the Iron Blood Army could help quell the riots in the south.
The emperor also agreed, in fact, the emperor did not want Gao Biao to return to Huainan Road, Gao Biao got the emperor's huge trust, responsible for exterminating Huang Chao, but unfortunately repeatedly lost the opportunity, and later did not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, almost let Huang Chao take the eastern capital Luoyang.
