Chapter 120: The right time, the right place, and the right people
That's not all the news received......
The fire of the change of the situation on the western front, the defense line retreated from the winding mountains of Xiqiang to the gate of Jincheng, and the doorstep of Liangzhou was occupied by the Qiang people.
The imperial court did not reply, but it had already begun to dispatch troops and horses, and mobilized many rebel warriors to continue to open the treasury, intending to fight to the death with Xiqiang.
Smoke rises everywhere in the northwest, while the south is peaceful on the surface, but the waves in the dark are not inferior.
Cheng Liu finally sat in the position of state pastor, the national official document has just been released, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and Yizhou have suddenly increased several times, and even the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou have also been affected, and many heroes and strongmen finally blatantly began to garrison troops, even if Tao Qian wanted to suppress it, but with little effect.
It is at this juncture that the flow of the main heart has not returned.
Yu Youkui said that it was okay, but his eyes were full of concern.
It was originally planned that the flow would arrive before the afternoon, but now according to the time calculation, I am afraid that it will be in the evening.
"Did Woody meet with him?"
Sweet potato confirmed the news again and shook his head: "There was only one person when Gongzi left the palace, and there was no news from Wu Fu since he returned to the capital." ”
"In addition, Gongzi was assassinated last night, and the news came early that Huang Cheng and Empress Dowager Dong were both dead last night, maybe it was He Jin's hand."
The young fish sighed softly.
"The final situation has not yet been formed, He Jin first broke the Empress Dowager Dong, preserved the power foundation of the Empress Dowager He, and then took the ten permanent servants, it seems that every step is very stable, and I don't know who is behind this to give him advice, there are almost no flaws."
Sweet Potato was also a little surprised and said, "Who else in the palace would have thought of this?" What's more, Empress Dowager He is now not on top of the government, and it is clear that she wants He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants to fight to the death, and under this reaction, the Ten Standing Servants should not sit still, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong have already looked for the Empress Dowager He. ”
At this time, Tian Feng, who was sitting on the other side, said: "I think, even if I find the Empress Dowager He, it is just a delaying tactic, the current Empress Dowager He will not let the power be completely placed on one side of the force at all, she just wants to restrain each other, so on the surface, she will restrict the power of He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants of the DPRK and China, but behind the scenes, they may still ignore it, just do superficial work." ”
"For example, the young emperor completely left the sight of the henchmen of the various regimes in the palace because of his ill health, which shows that if the regime between the DPRK and China really wants to change, the Empress Dowager He will definitely not interfere, but the most important thing must be to obey her instructions."
Yu Youkui asked, "Then according to Mr. Tian, how will the situation in the palace develop now?" ”
"It is difficult to say that after all localities support their own troops, the government and the opposition will definitely become more sensitive, and once there is a disturbance, I am afraid that it will cause huge riots. At this time, one of the most obvious features was the large-scale invasion of Xiqiang, but the imperial court did not send reinforcements until two days after holding down the soldiers and horses, just to see how the heroes and powers in various places reacted. ”
After Tian Feng explained, he added: "But all this is to be borne by the imperial court in the end, and Xiqiang is also faced by the imperial court, but it will not hurt itself, that is to say, what the Empress Dowager He wants to protect now is the foundation, so that the Han family can linger for a while." ”
Sweet Potato and Yu Youkui instantly understood, no wonder they wanted to isolate the young emperor, the purpose was so simple, but it was very wonderful.
Yu Youkui was silent for a while before he spoke: "As long as the current situation remains unchanged, when we return to Yangzhou, our soldiers and horses must be the strongest in the south, as long as we hold Danyang County first, everything else is easy to say." ”
Sweet potato answered: "I'm afraid that Gongzi doesn't calm down and takes Jingzhou and Yizhou first, then the situation in front of him may have to be reversed." ”
Tian Feng shook his head: "As long as the Han family still has a breath, the prince will not make the first move, this is the incense between him and the Empress Dowager He, until the last moment, this incense cannot be broken." ”
No wonder what Empress Dowager He has been doing recently has become more and more unpredictable, she is sure that Cheng Liu will not turn the horse's head to fight against the imperial court, but will help her fight against the powerful people from all over the world, in this way, even if the imperial court only has paper strength now, but the door is guarded, and it is not so simple for others to rush in.
"You don't have to feel aggrieved for Gongzi, this step is what he has thought about a long time ago, if you want to grasp the situation in the south, you have to use the identity of the state pastor to change, after the change, whether to forbear or continue to take the next state and county, it depends on the actual situation. This time he went to the palace to meet the queen mother, first, to show his attitude, he didn't care about the court regime, but he had to firmly control the power of life and death in his own hands. ”
"That's why the matter of the state pastor was determined so quickly, and even the rest of the states and counties just reacted and doubled the number of soldiers and horses, but it was suddenly to no avail."
Yu Youkui finally came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "So, according to what Mr. Tian meant, this time is to first make the imperial court unbearable, and then give Cheng Liu a chance to send troops?" ”
Tian Feng nodded.
This game of chess has been figured out since he was on the road to exile, and even Xu Shu said at that time that if he really came to this point, Cheng Liu must have 200,000 military power, and the right time and place are as indispensable as the people.
Now it's all there, and it's just a good time.
The sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, and the people and horses of Yizhuang had already rotated more than a dozen shifts, this was the last batch of today, and the rest were waiting for Cheng Liu along the way.
glanced at the hour again, but the previous group of people who reported the news had not returned, indicating that Cheng Liu had not arrived at the pre-agreed route to rest, and the last group was always standing in the courtyard, and Gan Ning and Wei Yan both frowned tightly.
After a long time, Dian Wei couldn't bear it anymore and went directly into the hall.
"Sweet potato girl, aren't you going yet? It was going to be dark soon. ”
Sweet potato took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you have to wait for the next batch of people to come back, otherwise you may take a detour." ”
If Cheng Liu is not the designated route to take, then this last group of people sent out is likely to be looking for a needle in a haystack, and when Cheng Liu is really in danger, it will definitely be too late to dispatch troops.
Dian Wei couldn't wait.
"I'll take a team of light horses out to investigate the situation first, and if I don't see the lord, I'll send someone back to report the news!"
Sweet potato frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of anger in his tone, "You want to disobey the military order?" ”
Dian Wei shouted at the top of his voice: "The lord is not here, the sweet potato girl has a lot of concerns, my old man can understand, but it is not a way to wait for it at all, if you want to cure my crimes, you have to wait for me to find the lord back!" ”
