In Bianliang May, it is already a summer float, the water is dark green, and the willows are still around. The rain also gradually increased, and often after a rain, the city of Bianliang was washed clean, like a glowing jewel.

After Xiao Yan set out for the expedition, the huge shadow that had shrouded Bianliang City in the past six months seemed to be far away. I have to say that the recovery ability of this huge city is amazing, and the scars left by the traces of the two palace changes have not been completely erased. The market was bustling again. The ladies and gentlemen in thin spring shirts began to bustle in the streets and alleys again, and in front of the famous Washe Gate in Bianliang, the scene of red sleeves began to be full of buildings again.

As for the war that is breaking out in the north, it seems to be a very distant thing for the people of Bianliang. That Yan King, since he has all the power in his hands, then these fierce and dangerous things also have his own Yan King to deal with. He's not in Bianliang, the city should always enjoy a peaceful life, right?

For the majority of the people in Bianliang, in the past six months or so, one turmoil after another, it has been a bit miserable. Now, although Xiao Yan is marching north, the people in Bianliang City are not even interested in discussing the court situation much less than usual, but they enjoy the peaceful market life that has returned.

What bloody battle in Hedong, what Yandi fell, and what Hebei warning signal are just things far away. No matter what kind of beacon fire, it will not burn to Bianliang Shenjing!

But for those who are interested in the court, they always keep an eye on every move in the north. It turned out that the ruling system of the Great Song Dynasty, although it had been hit hard in the recent changes, its status was also shaky. Had to wait for a while. But it is always lurking in the dark. Waiting for the opportunity to turn over in one fell swoop.

No matter how traumatic this opportunity would be to the Great Song, they just wanted to take back everything they had before!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Above the Fan Tower, in a private room, several green-shirted scribes are sitting in the middle. The private room was arranged in separate rooms, and the fine fish and fruit were placed on the tables in front of each scribe, but they did not move.

The sound of the lively city outside kept coming in, and it was in the past. In such weather, Fan Lou Gaohui should embrace prostitutes to open the flying window, when the wind is empty, and sing and harmonize while drinking, it is the fairy days that Bianliang Dumen should have.

But at this moment, the windows of this private room were closed, and the sunlight was projected through the window lattice, and the faces of these scribes reflected deep and shallow shadows, and everyone looked on their faces. All are strict.

None of the people in this room are the leading figures on the stage. Some people used to have official positions, but they were implicated in the turmoil of the past and chased down their origins, and they stayed in Bianliang to do changes. Some people themselves are the henchmen of a certain public, and they have never served as an official for the staff. Some of them are still people who have been sent into the capital in recent days from other towns. All in all, they are all representatives of the forces that are now lurking under Xiao Yan's obscenity.

When the princes of the Dao were stared at by Fang Teng, who was now sitting in Bianliang. These secret meetings can only be done by these humble representatives.

What Hedong and Hebei are doing now, in fact, they don't care about the Bianliang Zhugong, they just carefully calculate how much Xiao Yan's strength has been consumed.

And the news that shocked them the most was that Wu Min, the former prime minister, was beheaded and hung in Taiyuan!

The Great Song Dynasty is known as the king and the scholars rule the world together, and they do not train or kill the scholars. In fact, this scholar actually refers to a literati and important minister who has achieved the service system or above. At this level, it is a ruling class that can really handle and discuss the affairs of the state, and has the privilege of at least enjoying wealth and prosperity in any case. And no one can threaten the lives of this privileged ruling class, nor can they try to bypass their authority over the state.

Although Xiao Yan used two palace changes to shake this ruling system. But this privileged ruling class is still trying to maintain their bottom line. In the last palace change, it is needless to say that Geng Nanzhong's generation died in the chaos. Cai Jing and others were imprisoned and died, but now they are still alive and well. Xiao Yan didn't immediately escort him to the execution ground, and when the situation changed, maybe a mercy would come out.

But now, Xiao Yan actually beheaded Wu Min on the charge of abandoning the city and fleeing!

What is the important matter of the military state, what is the big war that determines the fortune of the country, and what how many soldiers sacrifice their lives to save the crisis of Wu Min's escape. These are all not in the calculations of the scholars, they only know that this has broken their bottom line! If you kill Wu Min, you will be able to kill them in the future, and the power of the scholars and doctors to dominate the country, and all kinds of privileges that can still retire peacefully and travel in the forest no matter how they corrupt the state affairs, are gone forever.

In today's plan, no matter what, Xiao Yan can't be allowed to return to Bianliang safely, and he must use all means to let Xiao Yan fail!

However, now that the war is chaotic, even though these figures often meet in secret business, and in the course of their conversations, they only exchange some intelligence information, and each time they come to the conclusion that they are just trying their best to win over the forces of all parties and continue to wait and see.

“………… According to the military situation on the front line, Nan Laizi had already intercepted the Jurchen Tatar soldiers in Lou. Now the Divine Guard Army should also rush to Taiyuan, and they are putting on a posture to hold on to the Jurchen army. These Jurchen Tartars really have no ability, where is the prestige of destroying Liao? A little building annoyance can't be rushed! If you can capture the Nanlaizi who went lightly in Taiyuan, even if you give the land east of the river to the Jurchens, what can you do? ”

“………… In Hebei, the authority of the Daimyo Mansion was taken over by Ma Zichong. This son received the grace of Taishang, and also led the Yongning army to return to the town of Bianliang, and is now reused by the Nanlai son, but he is in charge of the Daimyo's mansion, but I don't know if I can contact and win it over. ”

“………… Horses are at their best, and they can be done cautiously. ”

"The point is still in Hedong! When Nanlaizi fought with the Jurchens, if there was an army, it could hit its flank. Nanlaizi was defeated and recaptured. Then the big thing is decided! ”

“………… I'm here for it. I have contacted the small species many times. Maybe even the king of the county with his life. The position of Qin Feng in Shizhen. However, the small species is still waiting and seeing. And Nanlaizi will also send the edict of the king, and I don't know how the small species will react. ”

“………… In the western army, there are also mountains. Didn't Liu Guangshi send someone to Bianliang? On the one hand, he was active to see if he could welcome his father back to Huanqing from the management office, and on the other hand, he was also contacting the princes of Dongfu, hoping for self-efficacy. This Liu Guangshi is here, can he promise anything? ”

“………… That's the matter, how can you say it now? This Liu Guangshi must be firmly grasped! So that he doesn't have to listen to the orders of the small species. Just go it alone! If the battle situation in Hedong comes in handy, and finally makes Nan Laizi defeated, what can he do if the status promised to Xiaozhong is given to him? Now we must hurry up and try to let Liu Yanqing end the arrangement and return to Huanqing! ”

“………… If this rumor is known to Xiao Chong, won't it offend him severely? ”

“………… How can a small species have the prestige and ability of an old species, if the people of all the departments under his command are scattered, he can only be honest with us! ”

“………… The clan office still needs to be contacted, but it has to be cautious. Don't let that Yan Ling Fang Teng smell anything. This son is really a scum of the scholars, and he dies on a different day without a place to be buried! ”

“………… Jurchen military power. Just a little more violent. Is it possible to find someone to contact the Jurchen? The old people of the Sea Alliance that day, can you still take a walk? What if the sixteen states of Yanyun are allowed to the Jurchen? It is two million silver silk gifts to the Liao people, and four million to the Jurchens! These Haidong savages, with shallow eyes, are so rich, how can they not be satisfied? ”

This secret meeting is enough for an hour or two to calculate. After exchanging enough information, these people cautiously retreated. Only the person in charge of each meeting of this group of people was still in this private room, silently raised his glass and took a sip of it.

The person in charge, surnamed Qin Minghui, is nearly forty years old this year, but he is well-maintained, as if he is in his early thirties. The appearance is very elegant, and it looks like it is relaxed.

He came from a very mediocre background, and his father's and grandfather's official positions were no more than the magistrates of the lower counties. Before he came out, his family was in the middle of the road, and Qin Hui even worked as a teacher to get by.

With such a background, once you get the middle jinshi, you will naturally be desperately an official and desperately want to climb up. But without the support of his ancestors, when Xiao Yannan returned to Bianliang, Qin Hui was just a member of the Ministry of War. In the capital, such a person with no background and not too young age, his future will only end here.

Xiao Yan gradually soared up, and Qin Hui saw it in his eyes. For people like him, Xiao Yan's status is already an object that can be taken refuge into. Otherwise, at this age, where do you come from?

In the two palace changes, he and other unrespected figures were not involved, and he can be regarded as the old subordinate of Bai Shizhong, who is now sitting in the position of the lonely. After taking the door of Bai Shizhong, he wanted to go one level further after the absence of the court, and Bai Shizhong guaranteed him to serve the imperial history in the palace, and the left secretary admonished.

But since the Second Palace Change, Fang Teng has stepped into the East Mansion. It turned out that the personnel appointments attributed to the East Mansion had to be transferred to Xiao Yan for Fang Teng. However, Xiao Yan has never interfered in this regard. But after Qin Hui's appointment was passed in front of Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, the king of Yan, brazenly intervened, Qin Hui not only couldn't go further, but instead gave him a name in the name of Cai Jing's party, implicated in the chaos, chased down the words since he was born, and sent him to other states to compile and manage.

Xiao Yan is indeed a bit arrogant, but for people who have received a normal education, when he suddenly sees the name Qin Hui, no matter whether he did such evil deeds later, whether Qin Hui has carried the black pot for Zhao Gou or not, it is not strange to be angry? And with Xiao Yan's position in power at this time, all the people in the capital are killed, and what can be regarded as degrading a small official?

For Xiao Yan, pinching his nose and using a Zhang Bangchang is already the limit. Reuse this Qin juni............ Why can't Lao Tzu be willful? Do you have to look ahead and think about everything?

How could Qin Hui expect such a flying disaster? Fortunately, Xiao Yan soon drove out to Hedong, whether Qin Hui and other figures left Beijing on schedule to make arrangements, even Fang Teng didn't care. And Bai Shizhong at this time, he also stretched out a hand for Qin Hui, who was inexplicably involved. Brought him into the curtain.

At this moment, Bai Shizhong's position is also very embarrassing, not to mention Fang Teng's power in Dongfu, even Zhang Bangchang, who sold himself to Xiao Yan, is also running around, intending to replace him.

In order to consolidate the position, the news of Wu Min's death also greatly shocked Bai Shizhong. Even if he has never been a traitor like Cai Jing. I also had to have a backhand to prepare. Qin Hui nominally has little to do with him under the door. And he is alert and agile. Bai Shizhong is also kind to him for saving him. Let Qin Hui run secretly in the capital, contact and inquire around, and be prepared to have a way back when the time comes.

But at this moment, Qin Hui already knew that if Xiao Yan continued to be in power, he would have no way forward. Bai Shizhong ordered him to listen more and talk less, just to collect information from all sides. Unexpectedly, in private, Qin Hui was extremely hardworking, and he thought of himself as the person in charge!

All those who commit great treachery and evil are naturally very capable people. After Xiao Yan left Bianliang. This undercurrent is surging. Qin Hui contacted all parties, probed the military situation of all parties, and agreed on the steps to act, which turned out to be in an orderly manner! And when I contact everyone privately, I gradually see it as the mastermind!

After drinking it in one gulp, Qin Hui stroked his already hot head.

In Hedong and Hebei, the fighting has become more and more intense. Presumably, Xiao Yan has been extremely thoughtful, so he can barely hold on to this battle. Under such pressure, he will eventually show his flaws! At that time, if you draw your sword and rise up, you may be able to give this Nanlaizi force a deadly sword! Once it can be done. What a great achievement will it be for him? In the future, it will be Cai Jing's status back then. It's also to be expected!

only hated that the Jurchen military horses were still not strong enough, and the prestige of Liao seemed to be tied in front of Xiao Yan. In the two battlefields of Hedong, Hebei, there has been no news of the collapse of Xiao Yan's department!

And if Xiao Yan's defeat is revealed, he suddenly acts behind his back, although Qin Hui is sure that it is not really useful to hold Bai Shizhong hostage, but Bai Shizhong, who is not enough prestige and ability, although he has a phase, I am afraid that it will not be of much use.

Qin Hui also privately inquired about the attitude of Mr. Li Gang, who was living in the middle of the capital at the moment, but such a temptation was rejected in front of Li Gang.

There must be enough names............ But the members of the clan were closely watched by Fang Teng. Don't talk about contact, even if you get a little closer, the dogleg of the Imperial City Division will be pasted.

Fang Teng controls Bianliang, all aspects of such a big city, plus he has to preside over the front line of transshipment, it is absolutely impossible to let Fang Teng control all the situations in the palm of his hand. Therefore, Fang Teng grabbed two ends, one was to grasp the military power left behind in Bianliang, and with the military horse in hand, there would be no major incident. One is to watch the Zhao family's clan, but anyone dares to contact the clan, in such a situation, although Fang Teng is a scholar, it is unceremonious to cut off his head!

What should I do?

Is it really going to be risky?

No, it's not the time yet. Although at this moment, relying on the banner of Bai Shizhong, his own family is running and contacting, like a fish in water. But when there is really an emergency, a timid person like Bai Shizhong will never contribute. We must wait until the battle situation in Hedong and Hebei controlled by Xiao Yan is in danger!

Qin Hui got up angrily and wanted to push the window to look north.

I don't believe it, in such a difficult situation at home and abroad, you, Xiao Yan, can hold two battles alone! Maybe the turnaround will come soon!

Secretly running to contact, although not on the stage. But Qin Hui also felt the sweetness of manipulating the situation of the Great Song Dynasty behind him for the first time. Although it is only a group of people secretly preparing at the moment, Qin Hui believes that his family will soon come to the front with his eyebrows raised! And this luscious feeling, Qin Hui will never give up again!

This seems to be determined by the number of qi in the dark!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the middle of the Wanshan Mountains in the east of the river, a team of sentry riders marched westward.

After the Jurchen army moved south, the trend of attacking westward came to an abrupt end after the defeat of Lou. The soldiers stopped at the line from Honggu Village to Yifang, stuck the two Lanshui River Valleys, and did not move.

Xiao Yan adjusted his deployment in Taiyuan, concentrated his army, and made preparations for the attack. The Jurchen army suddenly stopped, and naturally they had to sentry from afar to find out their movements.

Xiao Yan was not afraid of the Jurchens gathering heavy troops and the Lanshui River Valley, intending to march east to Taiyuan to fight him. On the contrary, what I am afraid of is that Zong Han's troops plundered westward and made a long-term entrenchment plan.

Because the enemy Xiao Yan faced was not just the Western Route Army. There is also the Zongwang army that has been surging south from Youyan!

When the Jurchen Western Route army stopped, a large number of sentry cavalry scouts searched for gaps between the mountains and went west to find out the movements of Zong Han's department.

This team of sentinels sent from Han Shizhong's department in the cave valley village is just one of them.

The so-called sentry horse, in fact, can no longer use horses, all the way to the mountain. From the south, it bypassed the Honggu military village.

When I looked at it from afar, I found that the Honggu military village was already being built for the Jurchen military horses, and the original abandoned small fortress platform gathered a large number of people, together with the Jurchen auxiliary army, and renovated it. Build this place into a strong defense.

Such a defense system is still insufficient, and along the Lanshui River Valley, new military villages are being built. In this way, a defense system with sufficient depth was formed. Even if Han Shizhong led the army from east to west and desperately defeated Honggu Village, there was still a long line of defense in front of him!

Even though the Jurchen military horses' ability to defend is really not as strong as their field battles, they continue to fight layer by layer. When I get out of the Lanshui River Valley, I don't know how much time it will take and how many lives will be filled in!

The sight of the Jurchens changing their temperament and starting to defend the palace already made the sentinels feel bad. When this sentry cavalry worked hard to find out the mountains south of the Lanshui River Valley, and encountered scattered refugees, more ominous news also arrived.

The Jurchen West Road Army, in addition to leaving a garrison in the east and a deep ditch and high base for preparation, the brigade has turned to the west!

The military information found out by the desperate efforts of the sentry cavalry for a team of sentry cavalry couldn't help but pass it back, and since Xiao Yan descended, they all knew the battle situation in Hedong, and for a time it was not completely controlled by their own military horses.

If you want to solve the Jurchen Eastern Route Army as soon as possible, you must lead the main force of the Western Army to press over. However, the Hewai Army and Liu Guangshi's Army must hold on without a fight and limit the scope of activities of the Jurchen Western Route Army as much as possible. On the other side, Xiao Yan's army broke through the Jurchen army and horse guards one by one, and the army came out of the Lanshui River Valley, and then marched east and west with the small western army, flanking Zong Han's department!

But although King Qin's edict has been issued, Xiao Yan has other earnest letters and small species, will small species cooperate with Xiao Yan? And how will the Zhejia Hewai Army, as well as Liu Guangshi's Yan Yanjun, act?

The battle situation in Hedong, which has calmed down a little since the war in Lou, has made waves again! (To be continued......)
