Ye Wei originally thought that if Qiao Dadudu's family wanted to retreat, they would have to send someone into the mansion first to make internal responses to stabilize the mood of the whole family. At the same time, find an empty yard outside Shangjing, park the carriage and other evacuation materials, slowly transport the important items of Qiao's house out, and after everything is ready to stop, within an hour, dismiss the family members, leave Shangjing, and go to Ningguo or Dingchen County, which borders Ningguo. In this way, the preparation can be kept secret, and the retreat can be so fast that the Yuantai people have no time to react.

Who knew that when I discussed with Qiao Fang, I knew that the population of the Qiao family was not even half of the Lu State Mansion. Qiao Fang had five sons, two sons took their families to serve as officials in Weizhou, two sons fought with him in the army, and the son stayed at home when he was only ten years old. Qiao Fang's three daughters are all married, and their in-laws' families are all in Weizhou. There are also Qiao Fang's wife, concubines, two daughters-in-law, and several grandchildren in Shangjing's family. Qiao Fang asked Ye Wei to escort the family to Weizhou's two sons instead of Ningguo.

Only then did Ye Wei understand Qiao Fang's intentions, but he was afraid that he had been planning his own retreat for a long time, and he had been deeply involved in Weizhou for decades. Now that he has 200,000 Weizhou disciples on the "Qingjun side", the local officials in Weizhou naturally dare not jump out to oppose it, let alone mention the word rebellion, on the contrary, they can only stand up, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be soldiers who are related to him and implicate him. For Qiao Fang's family, Weizhou is only afraid that it is safer than Daning. And the Red Eagle people only need to protect it secretly, and it also avoids the attention of Qiao Fang's direct dispatch of troops.

When he arrived at Qiao Fang's mansion, Ye Wei saw the top generals of a country, and his family could be described as shabby. It seems that the money he received did not fill his pocket, as rumored to be.

Ye Wei thought to himself, no wonder the soldiers of Weizhou didn't want to die in battle; No wonder Emperor Yuantai Sheng Jun was suspicious of Qiao Fang. With such an opponent, it is no wonder that Daning has been difficult to take advantage of Yuantai over the years, but has always been suppressed. It would also be a good deed to be able to turn enemies into friends with such an opponent and eliminate military disasters.

Ye Wei adjusted the plan in an orderly manner, although there were fewer people to be transferred and the route was shorter, he did not take it lightly at all.

Qiao's family silently added a few more helpers, and silently brought a few cars and horses in and out. Then, as usual, it fell into silence in a low-key manner.

When Sheng Lianke's subordinates went to Qiao's house, they only saw a few servants who stayed behind. When I asked, I found out that Mrs. Qiao missed Weizhou's children and grandchildren, and she had to go to see it. The mountain is high and the road is far away, and the daughters-in-law are not at ease, afraid that the servants will not serve them properly, so they all follow.

"Have you returned to Weizhou Province?" Sheng Lianke couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he called Sheng Yuan to discuss.

When Sheng Yuan heard this, he said happily: "Congratulations to the prince!" This Ming Metropolitan Governor has no worries and is ready to give it a go! The prince must make a decision as early as possible and cooperate fully. ”

Sheng Lianke asked, "Why don't you abscond in fear of crime?" ”

Sheng Yuan said: "Escape? Where can he flee to? Is it impossible to take 200,000 people to become bandits? Only when he is with the soldiers and horses of Weizhou can he have power, and his safety can be guaranteed. What does the prince think? ”

Sheng Lianke made up his mind: "Just do what we discussed that night." ”

Sheng Yuan was stunned: "Yes! The minister immediately set out on the road and met with the governor to discuss. ”

......

Qiao Fang's march speed was extremely slow, and there was no shortage of things to do. Everywhere he went, he summoned the local military and administrative chiefs to ask for food, horses, and supplies. The reason is that the grain in the old elm basement is adulterated, and the state capitals must make up the difference. Otherwise, the 100,000 troops of Daning have been waiting at the border, if they rush over, and the Weizhou soldiers are hungry and unable to resist, then the most unlucky people on the road are the people of the state capitals, and the officials will not be spared under the war.

The officials were afraid of Qiao Fang's prestige, and even if they were reluctant, they had to take out some of them more or less. Qiao Fang received as much as he wanted, and he was not forced. However, in this way, the adulteration of military rations and the shortage of food for Weizhou soldiers slowly spread.

This matter naturally caused a stir within the Weizhou Army, which Wang Balamb is so bold? Dare to spread wild on the head of the Weizhou army!

While comforting his subordinates, Qiao Fang said that he would never tolerate those who had a black hand against Wei Zhou!

Despite this, it was still "impossible to suppress" that officers at all levels kept coming to Qiao Fang to express their indignation, saying that they must find out those who do not follow the rules and teach them a hard lesson!

At this time, Sheng Yuan came to Qiao Fangjun in the name of the labor army to "pacify" the excited officers and soldiers.

Soon after Sheng Yuan left, Qiao Fang, at the strong request of the officers and soldiers, was "forced" to play the banner of "clearing the monarch's side and protecting loyal ministers", demanding a thorough investigation of the case of military food adulteration, asking the emperor and the prince to uphold justice, and proposing that "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people".

When the news reached Shangjing, the whole country was stunned.

The opinions of the courtiers were divided into two factions, one faction believed that Qiao Fang and the officers and soldiers of Weizhou were all courtiers, and even if there were grievances, the courtiers could not raise troops to threaten the court, which was a rebellion. Qiao Fang should be punished for the crime of treason, and he should be beheaded all over the house. In view of the fact that the law does not hold the public accountable, and the officers and soldiers of Weizhou are only being used, as long as they immediately draw a clear line with Qiao Fang, the rest of the officers and soldiers will not be blamed in the past.

The other faction believes that Qiao Fang commanded the army to fight and rarely suffered defeats, and this time it was unfavorable to go out of the army, and the army was frequently haunted, and some people even framed the Weizhou army on military rations. This is clearly someone secretly causing trouble. This matter must be investigated, and Qiao Fang and the soldiers must be innocent. Otherwise, who else would want to lead troops to fight for the imperial court in the future? Even if they are on the front line, who is willing to die for Yuantai?

Sheng Jun has always been very wary of Qiao Fang, and he also took precautions against his rebellion. But he didn't expect Qiao Fang to give him such a problem.

Sending troops to suppress it, and if this kind of fratricidal thing can make Ning Guo and Li Guo laugh off their big teeth, many courtiers and people who support Qiao Fang in the country will not be able to pass that hurdle.

If you don't send troops to suppress it, do you really push your son out? Is there really a "prince who breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people"? In that case, he won't be able to pass this level, and the Li family will never agree.

In Sheng Jun's heart, he really wanted to suppress the Weizhou forces. But how do you turn this repression into justification?

At this time, Sheng Lianzhang came to Cheng'en Hall to ask for a meeting, and offered Sheng Jun a plan: "Father may wish to drag it out." First, send envoys to appease Governor Qiao and the Wei Zhou army, and agree to their requests; However, they were also ordered to stand by and wait for the results of a thorough investigation, and not to march to Shangjing. At the same time, three lines of defense were laid between the Weizhou army and Shangjing. In case Qiao Fang disobeys the military order and takes the risk of advancing, as long as he is close to the first line of defense, he will intercept and kill on the spot! If Qiao Fang really stood by on the spot, it would drag on for two months, and when his food and salary were almost consumed, he would inevitably be ready to move, and then his father would send troops to encircle and suppress him. In this way, no matter whether Qiao Fang moves or not, he will be greatly injured in the end. ”

Sheng Jun listened to Ling Tou and praised: "Good idea." Your uncle told you again, right? 166 Reading Network
