Jizhou, somewhere in a pavilion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This pavilion, located next to the wharf, is one of the most popular pavilions in the whole of Jizhou. Every day, you can see many young boys and girls saying goodbye here.

After all, after the gazebo, there is the pier. After arriving at the wharf, it will leave Jizhou by boat and go to the Central Plains.

And today, above the gazebo, there is no one. On the contrary, there were a full 300 elite soldiers around, guarding the side.

Each of these elite soldiers has innate strength, and they are the chief military officer of Jizhou (equivalent to the first person in the military in Jizhou, and all the troops in Jizhou must obey his command. Huangfu Song's personal soldiers. Therefore, the identity of the general in the pavilion is naturally self-evident.

At this time, Huangfu Song, while thinking about the orders of the imperial court, recalled the specific situation of Taiping Dao over the years.

Jizhou is the place where the mountain gate of Taiping Road is located, and it is also the core of the entire Taiping Road. It can be said that every township has a temple on Taiping Island. As for the believers involved, that's even more.

Moreover, because he is usually inconspicuous, Huangfu Song didn't care too much. After all, in normal times, a deep-rooted religion like Taiping Dao is not his responsibility!

Relevant news will not be sent to him at all, and the separation of military and government is not just talking. is already the chief military officer of Jizhou, and he is also actively concerned about political affairs, which is not called fighting for the country, it is called brain-dead.

"Hey, I didn't pay attention to it in the past, but now I found out that it turns out that this Taiping Dao unknowingly has a great foundation, all over Jizhou, if something is slightly wrong, it must be the result of erosion of several states!"

"Moreover, how many soldiers and horses are there in the entire Jizhou? Now that there has been no war for many years, the world's armament has long been slack. The number of county soldiers in each county is only 500. The number of soldiers in each county is only 3,000. Even, I, the chief military officer of Jizhou, only have 20,000 state soldiers in my hands. ”

"That's it, because I was born in a family of emperors, I have been a generalist for generations, and I am deeply trusted by the imperial court. Otherwise, if he is replaced by a chief military officer with a shallow foundation, let alone 20,000 state soldiers, even if it is 15,000, he will be considered capable. ”

"Kang Cheng, tell me, in this case, what can I do to suppress Taiping Dao? You must know that there are no less than 10 million believers in Jizhou alone! 10 million ordinary people, even if they are defeated, can they all be killed? ”

The so-called Kang Cheng is actually Zheng Xuan, who is also the main envoy this time, and is specifically responsible for investigating the Taiping Dao incident.

At this time, Zheng Xuan was a generation of scholars, with extensive contacts and fame, and had good friendships with many people. At least, Zhang Jiao also accepted his affection. Coupled with his unintentional career, the court will send him here.

is not an official, and he is very famous, and he has some friendship with Zhang Jiao. The most important thing is that Zheng Xuan's strength is the sixth order, and his strength is strong enough, even if Taiping Dao really plans to rebel, he can pass on the news in time.

Looking at Huangfu Song, who kept complaining here, Zheng Xuan smiled bitterly: "Haha, Yizhen, you are complaining about this, and the old man has nothing to do." After all, the old man was just a messenger, and he couldn't help much. ”

"Moreover, it is better to be still than to be still, no matter whether Zhang Jiao has the intention of rebelling or not, the court cannot directly move him, unless evidence is really found, or rather, he has really rebelled."

"You must know that the imperial court is the imperial court after all, and many things are principled. If you don't get punished for your words, you can't mess with the government because of the so-called words, otherwise, today with this reason, suppress the Taiping Dao, tomorrow is it possible to find a book casually, and you can destroy the family? ”

To put it bluntly, although Lin Yang was kind enough to warn and deliberately leaked a lot of heavenly secrets, the actual effect was really not good.

So far, at least, there have been few positive effects, but a lot of negative ones.

For example, if Lin Yang secretly reported to the imperial court, saying that Zhang Jiao was going to rebel. Then, in his capacity as the Duke of Wu Guo, the imperial court will naturally use some means to seriously investigate this matter.

For example, the shadow son of Jinyiwei was activated, the East Factory was activated, and unscrupulous means were used to investigate. But now, after this biography of determination is made public, these shady means can no longer be used. Otherwise, the Maison will be worried!

"But the problem is, if Zhang Jiao really reverses, I can't suppress it just by relying on me, the chief military officer of Jizhou. Tens of millions of believers, if it really erupts, it's terrible to think about! Huangfu Song suddenly said solemnly.

In the past few days, he has deduced many times, but the best result is to stick to Jizhou City, and at the same time use the family's private soldiers to keep defending.

If you attack head-on, just 20,000 state soldiers are really not enough. It can only be said that after so many years of peace, there is really too much laxity in armaments.

Although Zheng Xuan also understood Huangfu Song's concerns, it was useless for him to understand, he shook his head and said: "The old man came today and didn't hide the news, didn't Taiping Dao react at all?" ”

"Well, I don't. In the past few days, Taiping Road has been very quiet, and there have been no major movements, at least there has been no large-scale personnel transfer, but there has been constant propaganda that they have been wronged. Besides, there's nothing. Huangfu Song said lightly.

It can only be said that on the surface, it seems that he was really wronged. After all, there was no direct mobilization, and there was no large purchase of grain or weapons, at least the price of grain in Jizhou did not rise, did it?

"Yizhen, you really didn't use some means here? Don't just frame Taiping Dao for the sake of merit. After all, at this moment, the attention of the whole country is staring at this matter. ”

"If you do, fix the problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the matter is exposed, even if the Huangfu family is loyal and good from generation to generation, it will not be able to withstand it! Zheng Xuan casually arranged an enchantment and reminded in a low voice.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the two was good, if it wasn't for the sake of the loyalty of the Huangfu family, Zheng Xuan would not have said that.

Soldiers, who want to fight and make military achievements, often do some unexpected things to kidnap the court.

For example, the favorite of the generals on the frontier is to rob the enemy country directly, and then let the enemy country take the initiative to attack, and then you can have a good fight. Then, after winning the war, you can be promoted and make a fortune.

"This time, I really didn't do that!"
