Bianliang, Chongzheng Yuan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Wow!" The thick palm slapped on the table hard, the teacup on the desk suddenly provoked, the water overflowed, splashed on the black and old sandalwood table, slowly merged together, and turned into a stream of water slowly flowing down the slope groove, landing on the ground, and drilling into the gap of the bluestone slab.

"Who gave Pang Ziyi so much power? Go straight to Xuzhou, he is so bold!" The angry old man's cheekbones were high, his long eyebrows were lowered, and the flames in his eyes showed that his anger had reached the extreme at this time.

"Lord Envoy, it may be Ziyi's imminent change. Li He couldn't help but rub his cheeks.

is not peaceful, Li He also has a complicated attitude in his heart about Pang Yuan's unauthorized dispatch of troops to Xuzhou.

Last year, he was promoted from a bachelor to a judge in the Chongzheng Yuan, and he has become the third person in the Chongzheng Yuan after the envoy and deputy envoy, which is to a large extent a kind of praise for his support for Jiang Feng.

But after being promoted to judge, Li He's attitude has changed somewhat.

With Jiang Feng's conquest of Huainan, especially after capturing Shouzhou and taking the post of Huaiyou's defense envoy from Chang'an, Li He's attitude towards Jiang Feng quickly reversed.

He proposed several times in the Chongzheng Yuan to find a way to curb the expansion of the Huaiyou forces, and even proposed that he could consider reducing the pressure on Caizhou, releasing Caizhou's troops, and letting Caizhou's Yuan clan compete with Huaiyou.

The old man in the scarlet robe with a gloomy face glanced at Li He, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and calmed down: "Shoushan, I know your thoughts, that's right, Huaiyou's power has expanded too fast, and I also feel uneasy, as you originally proposed, we can let the Yuan family fight with Huaiyou, and we shouldn't come forward directly, you should know our current difficulties, the political affairs hall will inevitably play right and wrong in front of His Royal Highness King Liang, and it will be unpeaceful again." ”

Li He smiled bitterly in his heart, could it be that Pang Yuan would be at peace if he didn't send troops to Xuzhou?

Without Pang Yuan's support, Shang Yunxi would definitely not be able to hold on, so he could only completely withdraw from Xuzhou, once his 20,000 soldiers withdrew from Xuzhou, how much value would they have?

Daliang is not short of soldiers, what is lacking is an army that can play a role but does not need to be paid by Daliang, and Shang Yunxi just has such a force.

But he also understands that the envoy with the same surname as himself, Li Bin, is facing tremendous pressure, and the drought that began before last year has also brought tremendous pressure to the entire Daliang, especially the drought from last year to this year, which has caused the entire Central Plains region to fall into a situation of food shortage.

As the overlord of the Central Plains, Daliang will of course have considerable grain savings, but even this can't hold on, and he has to sell grain to the south, to Nanyang, to Huaiyou, and to Wudi, which needs to consume the already quite tight treasury silver.

It can be said that up to now, the financial resources of the girder have fallen to a very dangerous situation.

For this reason, the government affairs hall has written twice to demand the reduction of the army, and to reduce at least two armies, that is, 20 armies and 50,000 troops, and only in this way can the huge deficit caused by the financial shortage in the coming year be balanced, otherwise there may be even greater problems next year.

But this request has naturally been resolutely opposed by the Chongzheng Yuan, even if the lawsuit is fought in front of His Royal Highness King Liang, this is absolutely impossible to accept, and it can even be said that even if His Royal Highness King Liang supports and agrees, and the Chongzheng Yuan approves, this requirement cannot be implemented.

This is not the case today, and if it is really enforced, it may lead to a mutiny.

This is also the reason why Li Bin is so angry today.

Originally, the political affairs hall had a great opinion on the huge consumption of the Chongzheng Yuan, and now the Tianxing Right Army sent troops to Xuzhou without authorization, and as we all know, Daliang currently has no strength to capture Xuzhou, and even the huge pressure of the victims brought by the drought in Heshuo in the north can no longer bear it, where is the spare strength to ask about others?

And this Pang Yuan sent troops to Xuzhou without the permission of the Chongzheng Yuan, undoubtedly to ignite a fire core.

"Shoushan, the power of this leading general is too great, right?" The thin man sitting on Li Bin's left side said suspiciously: "If everyone is like this, what do you want our Chongzheng Yuan to do?"

This is Zhang Jizuo, the deputy envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan, the son of Zhang Quanyi, Zhang Quanyi once served as the head of the Daliang Political Affairs Hall, and also served as the deputy envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan.

Zhang Jizuo's words made Li He speechless, but the other straight bachelors present were unimpressed.

In these years, who doesn't know that the generals of these armies have faintly had a situation where they can't get rid of it, and even His Royal Highness King Liang doesn't dare to easily remove these leading generals, let alone the people of the Chongzheng Yuan?

Of course, a matter like Pang Yuan's direct dispatch of troops to the outer regions without reporting and approval is still the first time in Daliang, so it is no wonder that everyone in the Chongzheng Yuan is angry.

"Your Excellency, it also depends on the situation. Li He still respects Li Bin, but he doesn't have such a good face for Zhang Jizuo, who has a status similar to himself and is a little unaccustomed to it, "Ziyi only sent two armies out, even if Songzhou does not have these two armies, it is safe, and these two armies will definitely be of great help to the situation in Xuzhou, then Shang Yunxi urgently needs the support of our Liang to be able to stand on his feet, and it can also provide a big boost for our Liang to intervene in Xuzhou in the future." ”

"Dare to Xuzhou? hehe, Shoushan, you can't help but think too well, our Liang really has the spare strength to intervene in Xuzhou, look at the pressure in the north, don't say Heshuo, a group of disaster victims, it's nothing, at most it's more trouble in the place, the gentry have some money and food, I mean the first line of Huazhou and Huaizhou!"

Zhang Jizuo can sit in the position of deputy envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan, and he is naturally an extraordinary person, and he sees problems as accurately and sharply.

"Although Hedong has also suffered from drought, the Shatuo people can be supplied by livestock on the Mobei grassland, plus they are gathering grass and valleys everywhere, it is not difficult to survive, will they let such a good opportunity go?"

Zhang Jizuo's words won the approval of several other straight bachelors.

The Hedong Iron Cavalry has begun to appear in the border areas of Huaizhou and Huazhou, and the news of the staff Fangfang also proves this, and the Shatuo people are a little restless again, perhaps because they see the huge opportunity faced by Heshuo in the Central Plains, which makes them a little unbearable.

In addition to Huazhou and Huaizhou, in fact, on the front line of Weizhou and Xiangzhou, Shatuo Iron Cavalry also appeared frequently, and the alarm from Wei Bojiedu had been sent to the Chongzheng Yuan, which also made the Chongzheng Yuan more pressure.

And the Shatuo people are very good at attacking the east and west, using their iron cavalry maneuver advantage, constantly pulling the defensive line changes, although on the surface it seems that they intend to attack from the line of Huaizhou and Huazhou, but maybe it is a feint, and it is unknown whether they are covering for Shaanzhou and Henan on the western front.

Although the current Liang has a lot of troops, once the consumption and supply are mobilized, they can no longer hold on, which the lords of the Chongzheng Yuan know well.

Pang Yuan dispatched the troops of the two armies into Xuzhou, of course, not out of morality, but definitely with some intentions.

This is also clear to everyone in the Chongzheng Yuan.

The problem is that the situation in Xuzhou is too complicated, especially when it involves the Huaiyou Army, which is now in full swing, and the Chongzheng Yuan is more worried about causing a direct conflict between the two sides, especially when the situation in the north has also undergone some changes, which is even more worrying.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I actually think that this matter should not be considered in a different direction. Li He coughed lightly and put forward his own point of view, he knew that if it went on like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to come up with a strategy even if the discussion was dark.

"Oh? Shoushan, you say. Although Li Bin was very annoyed by this matter, he was even more tired of people like Zhang Jizuo who could only shout and vent, but couldn't come up with a strategy to deal with it, so as soon as Li He opened his mouth, he immediately gave encouragement.

"I'm thinking, it's already a fact that our Liang army entered Xuzhou, and now Jiang Feng is still fighting with Yao Chengtai in Qi County in the south, but there is no doubt that Lu Qiming should already have a secret communication with Jiang Feng, it is difficult for Shang Yunxi to dominate Xuzhou, even with the support of the Tianxing Right Army, it can't be done, and we can't let the Tianxing Right Army get involved, and the Tianxing Right Army can't fight with the Huai Right Army for Shang Yunxi, so I think we might as well consider taking the initiative to contact Huai You, seek a reasonable solution, and also seek certain benefits for our Liang。 ”

Everyone here is an old and spicy character, and as soon as he heard it, he understood Li He's intentions, and Zhang Jizuo asked directly: "Shoushan's intention is to give up Shang Yunxi in exchange for benefits?" ”

Coughing lightly again, Li He was slightly embarrassed, but still said: "It is not advisable to give up Shang Yunxi, this will cause great damage to the image of our Great Liang in the surrounding domains, but it is not advisable for us to directly intervene or support Shang Yunxi in the battle with Huaiyou, so I think it is not advisable to let Shang Yunxi retreat to Xiao County, and we can give it some support, so that it can exist in the form of dependence on us? ”

It should be said that this opinion fully takes into account the needs of all parties, but there are some grievances Shang Yunxi, and after such hard work, the result is still back to the past, and it is not even as good as before, there was originally a soldier stationed in Xuzhou City, and now he has to withdraw, isn't this a loss for his wife and a soldier?

It's just that the strength is not as good as people, once Da Liang is really determined, but he can't help it.

"Xiao County is too close, I'm afraid that Huaiyou won't agree. Li Bin pondered for a moment, "In addition, Shang Yunxi may not be able to accept this result, what if he surrenders to Huaiyou in a fit of anger?"

This is also a problem, if Shang Yunxi really wants to surrender to Huaiyou, it is a situation that makes Daliang a little unacceptable, if the 20,000 army is really thrown into Huaiyou's arms, it will really become a big disaster.
