What Cai Mo said was the truth, there was a rebellion in Yizhou this time, and when Huan Wen received a letter from Zhou Fu asking for help, Chengdu had already been broken by the rebels.

Just when Huan Wen was raising troops, horses, money and food, and was about to lead part of his troops to reinforce Yizhou, the news of Zhou Fu's defeat came, and at the same time, Zhao's Yuzhou army also had a strange move, and there was a tendency to attack Jingzhou.

Huan Wen judged the situation and decided not to reinforce Yizhou for the time being, in order to prevent Zhao's Yuzhou army from raiding Jingzhou, after all, once Jingzhou is lost, the Great Jin will be lazy to cut into two sections, so that the end can not be connected, Jingzhou's strategic position is far better than Yizhou, Huan Wen must take care of his weight and give up his light, and personally sit in Jingzhou to deter the Zhao army that is about to move.

Seeing that Cai Mo mentioned Huanwen's Jingzhou legion, which was beyond the reach of the Yizhou whip commander, the minister who strongly recommended Huan Wen, was immediately speechless, but still insisted on sending others to supervise the military of Yizhou, in case Hua'an alone controlled the vast area of Yizhou and Liangzhou.

Seeing that her subordinates were disagreeing, the Empress Dowager Chu Lianzi looked at Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, and asked softly: "What is the opinion of the imperial uncle about the military affairs of the capital governor Yizhou?" ”

Sima Yu hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Empress Dowager, your subordinates think that Huan Yuma guards Jingzhou, the responsibility is extremely heavy, and if Jingzhou loses, the Great Jin will die, in order to fully protect Jingzhou, the military of Yizhou must entrust him to the governor, and now the rebellion in Yizhou has not been quelled, and the generals of Yizhou must be famous generals who are familiar with military affairs to be competent." ”

Sima Yu's answer did not specify the generals of the military of Dudu Yizhou, but he asked for a famous general who was familiar with military affairs, and excluded Huan Wen, so he said. It was clearly implied that Chu Lianzi should hand over the military of Yizhou to the governor of Hua'an, and ordered Hua'an to completely quell the rebellion in Yizhou.

When Chu Lianzi heard this, she nodded, she trusted Hua'an very much, and she was very relieved to hand over the military of Yizhou to Hua'an.

"Since the imperial uncle also thinks that Huan is not suitable for the military of Jingzhou, the mourning family will be invited by General Zhuhua to officially appoint him to supervise the military of Yizhou. In order to completely quell the rebellion in Yizhou. Chu Garlic finally made up her mind.

Several ministers who opposed the governor of Hua'an Prefecture. Seeing that Cai Mo and Sima Yu's analysis was reasonable, Chu Lianzi had already made a decision, so he no longer insisted on his opinion.

And the reason why Cai Mo and Sima Yu wanted to help Hua'an and obtain the position of governor of Yizhou's military affairs. It's not that I have too much affection for Huaan. Nor is it for personal gain. Rather, it is a decision that has to be made based on the current reality.

After all, the core area of Yizhou. It is too far away from Huan Wen's main force of the Jingzhou army, once something happens in Yizhou, the main force of the Jingzhou army has no time to react, and Jingzhou is a plain area, which may face the invasion of the main army of Zhao at any time, Huan Wen is resourceful, as long as he personally guards Jingzhou, it is enough to deal with the invasion of Zhao, and once he leads the main force into Yizhou, Jingzhou, the core area of the Great Jin, may be lost because of Zhao's iron cavalry assault, so the consequences will be unimaginable.

And the situation of Hua'an's Northern Expeditionary Army is different, Liangzhou and Yizhou belong to one, but because the area is too large, so it is divided into two states, Liangzhou's farthest Hanzhong County, the distance from Chengdu is several times closer than Jingzhou's Xiangyang and Wuchang, it is extremely convenient to reinforce Chengdu from Liangzhou, and it is very convenient to reinforce Chengdu from Liangzhou, and the Zhao army in Liangzhou and Guanzhong are separated by the Qinling Mountains, and the roads are very few, and they are rugged and difficult to travel, and the main army of Zhao State invades Liangzhou from these small roads, which is much more difficult than the main road to invade Jingzhou, As long as Hua'an sent the Northern Expeditionary Army to block the passes of several small roads, it would be difficult for Zhao's army to fly across, so Hua'an's main army could protect Liangzhou without being stationed in Hanzhong all the time.

In fact, there is another important reason why the two of them help Hua'an speak so much, that is, to use Hua'an to balance Huan Wen in order to maintain the balance between the two, after all, the land and population of Jingzhou are the sum of Liangzhou and Yizhou, if Huan Wen continues to supervise Yizhou, then Huan Wen's strength is many times that of Hua'an, which is not conducive to maintaining the balance between the two. The two are of equal strength and contain each other, which is conducive to the stability of the Great Jin court.

After discussing the military affairs of Yizhou in Hua'an, Sima Yu suddenly thought of something again, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, in recent days, Zhou Assassin Shi has written to the imperial court three times in a row, in order to fail to quell the Yizhou rebellion in time, and to lose the army and lose Chengdu, I asked to remove him from the post of Yizhou Assassin and return to his hometown, and his words are quite sincere, how does the Queen Mother plan to deal with it." ”

When Chu Lianzi heard this, he sighed and said softly: "Zhou Tingshi is the elder of the Five Dynasties of my Great Jin, and he has made a lot of contributions to my Great Jin. ”

Although he did not express his position, Chu Lianzi meant that he was unwilling to remove Zhou Fu from the position of Yizhou Assassin, after all, Zhou Fu was still a famous general, and he was also a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and his status was relatively high in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

"Queen Mother, Zhou Tingshi's words are sincere, and his subordinates can see that he really wants Gao Lao to return to his hometown." Sima Yu explained.

"Yes! The Queen Mother, Zhou Tingshi is old, and he fell into the traitors' tricks in Yizhou, but he is afraid that he will return to Yizhou without face, why should the Queen Mother suffer for him? Moreover, as a state assassin history, the state city was lost in just one day, if there is no punishment, how can it warn the younger generations. A minister said.

Chu Lianzi hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Although Zhou Tingshi didn't notice it for a while, causing the rebels to capture Chengdu, but whether it was too much to dismiss his position as an assassin of Shi, wouldn't this make the old ministers of the court chill." ”

When Cai Mo heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The Queen Mother can't bear it, so she can be relieved of her position as the assassin and transferred to the capital to serve as an idle post of the same grade, so that she can not only respond to the request of Zhou Tingshi to dismiss the Yizhou assassin history, but also will not make the old ministers of the court and the central government chill, and can warn future generations, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone." ”

When Chu Lianzi heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and said: "Cai Qing's family is reasonable, so according to what the Qing family said, remove Zhou Thorn Shi Yizhou Thorn Shi from his position, transfer to the capital, and serve as a regular attendant." ”

"Queen Mother Shengming." Cai Mo hurriedly complimented, and then asked: "Queen Mother, the Yizhou Assassin Shi is dismissed, and the new Yizhou Assassin Shi should immediately take office to assist General Hua in managing the people's livelihood in Yizhou." ”

"Yes! The Queen Mother, General Hua has already concurrently served as the position of Liangzhou Assassin and Yizhou Assassin, and someone else should be selected to hold it. A minister hurriedly said.

Chu Lianzi thought for a moment and asked, "Everyone, Aiqing, who should be in charge of the Yizhou Thorn History?" ”

Sima Yu first hugged his fists and said: "The Queen Mother, the former minister of Shuzhong, Chang Xuan, was originally a free cavalry attendant of Li Shi's court, and he is well versed in the people of Yizhou, and now he is serving in the capital, and the Queen Mother can let him serve as the assassin of Yizhou. ”

"Chang Xuan was originally an old minister in Shuzhong, wouldn't it be too risky to let him serve as the assassin of Yizhou." One of the ministers voiced his concerns.

His meaning is obvious, that is, he is worried that Chang Xuan will be disloyal to the Great Jin Kingdom and make a rebellious thing, after all, when Hua'an's Northern Expeditionary Army attacked Chengdu, Chang Xuan had an illicit correspondence with Hua'an, and secretly helped Hua'an seize Chengdu.

Sima Yu hurriedly explained: "No, based on the official's understanding of Master Chang in the past few months, this person has righteous thoughts in his heart, has no ambition, and is by no means a conspirator to rebel." ”

"Queen Mother, King Huiji is right, Chang Xuan is a person in Shu, I will reuse the people in Shu, and will regain the hearts of the people in Shu, the Queen Mother does not have to hesitate, she can immediately summon Chang Xuan and seal him as the history of Yizhou Thorn." Cai Mo clenched his fists and said.

Seeing that Sima Yu and Cai Mo both thought that Chang Xuan was up to the task, Chu Lianzi naturally did not object, and immediately sent someone to summon Chang Xuan.

Soon, Chang Xuan was ordered to come to the Taiji Palace, and Chu Garlic named him the history of Yizhou Thorn in person, although he was not a leader in the history of the bicycle stab, and his status was lower than that of Hua'an's leading soldiers, but Chang Xuan was still flattered, and hurriedly excused himself a few words.

Seeing that Chu Lianzi and Sima Yu and other ministers insisted on letting him hold the position of the assassin of Yizhou, he no longer objected, and said that he would definitely be loyal to the Great Jin and assist Hua'an in managing Yizhou.

There are three main reasons why Chang Xuan finally accepted the position of Yizhou Assassin appointed by the imperial court, one is because he was originally from Shuzhong, and his hometown is in Shu County, where Chengdu is located, and he is also very old.

The second reason is that it is difficult to resist the hospitality, when the queen mother and many important ministers of the court strongly recommend themselves, if they refuse to cooperate, they will be too ignorant of promotion.

The third is because the appointed position of Yizhou Assassin is a bicycle assassin, he does not need to lead troops, he does not understand military affairs at all, he only needs to manage Yizhou's officials and people's livelihood and other issues, and these are what he is good at, and he has enough ability to be qualified for this position.

Seeing that Chang Xuan happily accepted the position of Yizhou Thorn Shi, Chu Lianzi ordered him to rest in the capital for a few days, and then immediately went to Chengdu to take up his post.

After the position of Yizhou Assassin was determined, considering that there was a rebellion in Yizhou and various positions must be insufficient, Chu Lianzi ordered Sima Yu and Cai Mo, who were auxiliary to the government, to select more than a dozen capable and loyal officials from the officials in the capital to follow Chang Xuan into Chengdu to serve in Chengdu to alleviate the lack of officials in Yizhou and at the same time play a role in supervising Chang Xuan.

When Sima Yu and Cai Mo heard the order, they quickly selected more than a dozen officials who were qualified in all aspects among the officials in the capital and appointed them to various positions in Shuzhong.

A few days later, the newly appointed Yizhou assassin Shi Changxuan, with more than a dozen officials and many retinues, left the capital Jiankang and headed for Chengdu in Yizhou. (To be continued......)
