Wenxuan Hall has never been so lively.

Gu Haiwang's defeat was beyond everyone's expectations.

Chen Yuansi immediately pointed out that the defeat in this battle was entirely due to Gu Haiwang's light enemy, and the clues could be seen from the fact that he said that he would break the enemy in March.

"This is not the time to hold accountable. The most important thing at the moment is how to fight the battle ahead. The rewards and punishments will be remembered, and when this battle is over, no one will be left behind. Of course, the premise is-" Ye Tianhuai paused and said, "At that time, there will still be great scenery in this world, as well as Zhuqing and I." ”

Although Ye Tianhuai's words were very serious, they were not all alarmist. Once Beidi crossed the Baishui River, there was no longer a moat to defend in the entire Yunzhou.

When Yunzhou goes south, it is Zhongzhou, and when Zhongzhou comes over, it is Shengjing.

For the Beidi army, which was dominated by cavalry, the two-thousand-mile journey was only three days' journey.

Beidi is different from Dajing, and is not subject to Confucian etiquette, and has always gone south to fight the villages through which the grass valley passes, regardless of the army and civilians, old and young, all looted and burned.

Once the Dajing Imperial Court ceases to exist, it can't be said that there is no reward for meritorious deeds and no severe punishment.

Perhaps it was because of the unprecedented crisis brought about by the Beidi army, or perhaps it was Ye Tianhuaixiao's righteous rhetoric that played a role, and the cabinet quickly reached an agreement, no longer blaming each other, and there was no longer the previous situation of procrastination and prevarication.

The meeting was not long, Chen Yuansi, Su Hongwei and Yu Jianghui's work was mainly a matter of people, money and food, and the three of them left Wenxuan Hall to do errands after receiving their respective tasks, and Wen Xinzhong went to Qintian to supervise and ask about auspicious days.

Gu Shihai and He Qingchang were left to agree with Ye Tianhuai on the layout and candidates of each army.

When it was about to get dark, the little eunuch outside the Wenxuan Hall suddenly came in to spread the word, saying that Li Jianyun, the squire of the military department, was asking to see him outside the palace gate.

Only five cabinet ministers were able to enter and leave the palace without passing the rumor, so unless it was an urgent matter, the courtiers would usually report back to the court the next morning.

Li Jianyun asked for a face outside the palace at this time, thinking that there was a hundred thousand urgent things.

"Biography." Ye Qianhuai immediately commanded.

Li Jianyun was quickly brought into the palace.

But he didn't come to face the saint, he came to find He Qingchang.

"The Lord instructed his subordinates to report as soon as they found out Tuge's identity. News just came from the scouts. Li Jianyun didn't say much, and said directly to He Qing.

He squatted for a moment and looked at the emperor and Gu Shihai.

"Don't be afraid, just say it." He Qingchang commanded.

"Tuge is not from Beidi, but from my Chaoyunzhou, his real name is Chu Boliang, and he used to be a ......," he paused and said, "The commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Forward Battalion under the command of the King of Beidu. ”

After speaking, he took out a military report and handed it to Ye Tianhuai.

The faces of the three people in the room suddenly changed.

"There is no king of the Northern Capital in Dajing, only the criminal minister Lu Yuxing. How many remnants of the Haw Par Cavalry are in the Beidi Army? Gu Shihai was the first to say.

Li Jianyun said: "According to the scout's report, when the tiger and leopard cavalry incident occurred, the forward battalion team led by Chu Boliang was carrying out tasks in Beidi, and after the incident, their team lost its whereabouts, and the next year, led by Chu Boliang, these people established a village called Xingyun Village in Baishan to do some border trading, and there were about a few hundred people in the village. Three years ago, Xingyunzhai was suddenly disbanded, and these people should have voted for Beidi's army. ”

Gu Shihai frowned and said, "The Tiger and Leopard Riding Rebellion was twenty years ago, right?" These people are still there. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Qianhuai, and was about to say something, but saw that the emperor was staring directly at the military newspaper in his hand, as if he was in a trance.

"Your Majesty?" He couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qianhuai didn't hear his voice at all.

She stared at the three words "Chu Boliang" in the military newspaper, and countless pictures flashed in her mind.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen the name.

The last time I saw this name, it was also in the military newspaper. In the previous life, Yunzhou rebelled in the military newspaper.

At that time, his name followed Lu Yanchen's name and was the deputy marshal of the rebels.

Ye Tianhuai suddenly understood why the battle situation in Beidi in this life was completely different from the previous life.

The reason why the war in Beidi in the previous life was quickly pacified may not be because the imperial court sent Gu Haiwang to lead the army, but because Lu Yanchen, who returned to his hometown, was in Yunzhou.

At that time, something must have happened between Lu Yanchen and Chu Boliang.

Either Lu Yanchen subdued Chu Boliang in the Beidi army, which made the Beidi army vulnerable, or Chu Boliang took the initiative to leave the Beidi army and instigated Lu Yanchen to rebel.

Ye Tianhuai suddenly remembered that when Gu Haiwang went out to fight before, Lu Yanchen had entered the palace to ask her for orders to go with the army, and his attitude was very persistent.

Didn't he already know something?

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Shihai let out a shout and pulled Ye Tianhuai's thoughts back.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Ye Tianhuai sorted out his mind and asked, "This Chu Boliang, why do you want to contribute to Beidi?" ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and He Qing said, "Maybe it's because of the old things about Lu Yuxing and the tiger and leopard riding." In the following years, there were several rebellions in Yunzhou because of this incident, but they were all suppressed. ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "I just didn't expect that more than 20 years have passed, and there are still remnants of sin." But this also makes sense, why Beidi's tactics suddenly changed, and even used the dam machine of my country. ”

"If the person who formulated the route of Beidi's march was Lu Yu Xingyu, then the purpose of their army's expedition this time was not only to plot against Yunzhou, but they had only one purpose." Gu Shihai moved the flag on the sand table marking the main force of Beidi to the position of Shengjing.

These people who have been away from their homeland for 20 years have driven them to the south to conquer and kill the enemy, not because of the desire to plunder, but because of their old grudges and hatred for Dajing.

In an instant, Ye Tianhuai seemed to hear the fighting and screams that permeated the palace when the imperial city was breached in the previous life.

Since she came back from rebirth, she has been trying to figure out where Lu Yanchen's 50,000 rebels came from, and now she finally has some clues to get a glimpse of the leopard.

Ye Tianhuai couldn't help but think, it was possible that Lu Yanchen was only bewitched by Chu Boliang, and it was not his original intention to raise an army to rebel.

But for such a big thing as rebellion, for Lu Yanchen, who has always adhered to the etiquette and law of the monarch and ministers, if it is not his original intention, who can use anything to coerce him into rebellion?

A fine light suddenly flashed in Ye Tianhuai's mind——

Lu Yuxing, the king of the northern capital, is also surnamed Lu.

But the idea was quickly dismissed by her.

Lu and Chu are both Yunzhou surnames, and the same surname doesn't mean anything, not to mention that Lu Yanchen is twenty-five years old this year, and when he was born, Lu Yuxing had been beheaded all over the house.

Besides, if he was really someone from Lu Yuxing, how could the first emperor trust him so much, and even the Eagle Guard entrusted it to him.

At least in the eyes of the first emperor, Lu Yanchen was a more trustworthy person than Ye Tianhuai, his biological "son".
