Chapter 286: Behind the Mist!

The heart of hegemony? Rebellion?

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this, but when I heard Guo Rong's ears, it was more or less awkward.

In Guo Rong's eyes, it doesn't matter whether Wu Shaoxiang has a rebellious heart or not, the important thing is that he has no ability to make trouble, otherwise how dare he let Zhi Muyu be Wu Shaoxiang's commentator.

The most important thing is that Wu Shaoxiong is not the first to remind himself, just now Han Hong directly pointed out this point, Wu Shaoxiang will probably not rebel again, Wu Shaoxiong specifically mentioned it again, is it a bit redundant to emphasize this point to himself one after another?

As if seeing Guo Rong's confusion and confusion, the corners of Wu Shaoxiong's mouth turned up slightly.

"General Guo doesn't want to have too much intersection with his brother?"

"Huh?"

Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, so direct, this didn't seem to be Wu Shaoxiong's style, but after thinking about it, what if it wasn't, there were already his staff around him, so it was more important for him to accurately understand his intentions.

"Originally, I wanted to communicate with Wu Sikong, and asked Wu Sikong to comment on whether there is anything else that can be improved in Changyingjun."

"But after thinking about it, now that Wu Sikong has put forward any improvement suggestions, I am afraid that he will not be able to implement them, it is better to ask Wu Sikong to go to the Changying army camp in person after he goes to Chang'an, and after having enough understanding, he will systematically put forward suggestions for improvement and improvement."

"In this case, the general can consider arranging, if you want to hide the results of the battle as much as possible, you can immediately arrange to secretly send your brother directly to Chang'an."

"Now?"

"Exactly."

"Isn't it going to be too fast?"

"General,"

Even if he was unable to move, Wu Shaoxiong, who was lying on the couch, still made a solemn posture as much as possible.

"When I communicated with my brother just now, my brother praised all the Changying Army, and after thinking about it carefully, I found that the general was steady and brilliant, but there was only one point, and there was too little active contact with Chang'an."

"The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor gave the general enough power and trust, and the two saints are rare saints, so they can calm down, but who dares to guarantee victory in a hundred battles, and being able to calm down does not mean that they are really not worried, after all, whether the general wins or not, in a sense, is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty......

The people around Guo Rong, from the Emperor Li Yu to the guards around him, all know that Guo Rong will never hide his expressions and thoughts.

"Indeed, thank you Mr. Wu for the reminder, Guo Rong has been taught, just according to what Mr. said."

Seeing the sudden look on Guo Rong's face and hearing Guo Rong's words, Wu Shaoxiong nodded with satisfaction, and continued without waiting for Guo Rong to speak.

"In a sense, generals, brothers and generals are actually very similar, and they can be regarded as the same type of handsome, so it is undoubtedly a huge waste for two generals of similar types to stay together."

"Since the general believes that the Emperor Taishang will make proper arrangements for his brother, then why waste time here, and let his brother rush to Chang'an as soon as possible is the most beneficial to the general and the Tang Dynasty."

"In addition, I suggest that the general send his daily actions, battle reports, and plans to Chang'an from now on." ….

With these few words, Guo Rong knew that he had indeed picked up a treasure, and his previous trust, respect, and dedication were not wasted.

Under the fame, some people are actually difficult to deserve, but some people are worthy of their reputation, Wu Shaoxiong fell into the latter, an assistant and staff member who can make Han Hong envious, Guo Rong is not a mortal.

"The purpose is to enable the two saints of Chang'an to understand the situation of the general as much as possible, so that they can have greater confidence when supporting the general, and in turn, after having greater confidence, the support for the general will also increase, it is nothing more than that the general needs to work hard every day, so he can kill two birds with one stone, why not."

"Everything is according to what Mr. said, but what about the rest of the Huaixi Army and the three states of Huaixi?"

"The general doesn't have to worry about this, he just needs to issue an order in the name of his brother, and I will act on my behalf, and everything will be fine."

"The 20,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Gwangju have been in a confrontation, there has been no fierce fighting, and they can retreat back the same way, as for the remaining soldiers and horses, some of the elites that the general can select from them can be added to the forbidden army, and the remaining part can stay here and maintain a state of confrontation with the cooperation of Han Hong and Han Shuai."

"Of course, this is only a stopgap measure, and it is difficult to cover up this fact for a year and a half, but it is not difficult to achieve it for two or three months."

Wu Shaoxiong said that it was easy and pleasant, but Guo Rong knew that it was definitely not an easy task to complete this, and Wu Shaoxiong also saw Guo Rong's surprise.

"General, don't be sure, Shaoxiong doesn't have any magical powers, it's just that he's already familiar with similar things."

「?」

"Since my brother occupied Huaixi, my brother often led the army to fight or left Caizhou for other reasons, and whenever my brother left, I was in charge of the military and political affairs of the three states instead of my brother, and Caizhou, Gwangju, and Shenzhou have become accustomed to this."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaoxiong paused, looked at Guo Rong seriously, and then made a gesture of pleading.

Without any warning, Wu Shaoxiong's sudden change caught Guo Rong off guard.

"Mr. Wu, this is ......"

"There is one thing, before I saw my brother, Shaoxiong did some concealment before, and asked the general for forgiveness."

"The two sides fought before, each with its own master, Mr. has something to hide Guo Rong can understand, Mr. doesn't need to worry, but I'm more curious about what will make Mr. need to ask for guilt in advance."

Wu Shaoxiong smiled helplessly and tried his best to thank Guo Rong.

"General Xie, in fact, after the beginning of winter last year, my brother left Huaixi for more than four months."

Hearing these words, thinking of the news that the scouts had found in Caizhou City, Guo Rong, who was originally just curious, suddenly focused his attention on Wu Shaoxiong, and hesitated slightly, Guo Rong tried to ask.

"Youzhou?"

Guo Rong didn't open his mouth, but the moment the word Youzhou came out, Wu Shaoxiong, who had been maintaining a calm, natural and calm posture since he woke up from a serious injury, was severely surprised.

"General, how do you know?"

"Hehe, this is because of a special class of the Changying Army, it's more troublesome to explain now, and after a long time in the future, Mr. will naturally understand, and now it's ..........

"My brother went to Youzhou to participate in a secret meeting of a conspiracy to overthrow the Li family......

"It's just that the situation developed later and the agreement made at the secret meeting ...... The situation in Liaodong far exceeded the initial expectations, due to the long distance,......

「…… Because it is impossible to get in touch with Hebei directly...... So much so that my brother and I can't agree on how to deal with the ensuing chaos."

"Oh, sir, are you preparing?"

"In fact, when Han Shuai sent troops south, my opinion was to wait for the arrival of definite news, while my brother thought that the imperial court had discovered the problem and was ready to strike first."

"The general knew the final outcome, and in the end I obeyed my brother......

Listening to Wu Shaoxiong, who was a participant in the rebellion, personally analyzed, the questions that Guo Rong was not sure about were answered one by one.

Although the whole situation is very different from the original plan of the rebels, it is still of great significance to Guo Rong.

As many speculations were verified from Wu Shaoxiong's mouth, Guo Rong's understanding of the entire Hebei chaos became clearer and clearer.

"Who was there in the secret meeting to prepare the rebellion?"

"There are Liu Zong, the envoy of the Lulong Festival, Wang Chengzong, the envoy of the Chengde Festival, Tian Ji'an, the envoy of the Wei Bo Festival, and Wu Shaoxiang, the envoy of the Huaixi Festival, and Wei Pengfei, the town general under the command of the Jiaodong Defense Envoy......

When it came to Jiaodong, Guo Rong's brows furrowed all of a sudden, whether this was Li Shidao's participation or Li Shidao's subordinates' participation in judging the difference.

It will not only affect the next march, but even affect the entire strategic layout.

"Sir, are you sure it's the general under the command of the Jiaodong Defense Envoy?"

The first time he heard Guo Rong's question, Wu Shaoxiong was a little confused, but the next moment Wu Shaoxiong guessed the meaning behind the question.

"General, the one who came to participate in the secret meeting is indeed the town general under the command of the Jiaodong Defense Envoy, but according to what my brother said, the town of Jiaodong will come on behalf of Li Shidao."

Li Shidao, Li Shidao, Li Shidao, Guo Rong silently recited the name three times in his heart, and then sighed softly.

"Lao Li, you're really in a hurry this time."

While sighing, Guo Rong's expression suddenly became solemn.

Originally, if Li Yu was still there, Hebei-Lubei would be back-to-back, and the two knots of the horn would allow them to watch and help each other, even if Li Shidao was in turmoil, or the three towns of Hebei were attacking, they could have enough strategic automatism

But now, Li Yu is going north with the main force of the newly formed Hebei Army, which can be compared to the Northern Lu Army...... What I feared turned into a real threat.

Fortunately, he made some arrangements more or less, and the thousands of elites he personally led were just to prevent changes in Jiaodong, just hoping that he could arrive before Li Shidao made a mess, so as not to completely erode the situation.

After dozens of breaths, just when Guo Rong was thinking about how to minimize the hidden dangers and hazards caused by Li Shidao in Jiaodong, he suddenly felt that the military tent had quieted down. ….

Guo Rong raised his head and saw that Wu Shaoxiong was looking at him with a shocked expression, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to listen to Wu Shaoxiong finish all the information first, and then make a judgment based on the final summary of information.

"It should have been said that the people who participated in the secret meeting included the Jiaodong town general who represented Li Shidao, but when I told about the plan formulated by the secret meeting just now, I didn't seem to mention Jiaodong."

"Regarding this point, because the secret meeting itself is not mentioned, according to the elder brother, the Liaodong Town General named Wei Pengfei arrived at the end, and it only represents the existence of Li Shidao."

"If there is anything directly related to Li Shidao in Jiaodong at the secret meeting, it is that my brother speculates that Li Shidao has most likely opened up the channel of Dongying and has a certain influence in Dongying, otherwise there would be no Dongying's Japanese soldiers crossing the sea."

Guo Rong nodded, Wu Shaoxiong was right about this, Li Shidao was the most likely force that had already landed on the island country.

"Sir, please continue, there are ...... others who participate in the secret meeting."

"In addition to the above, there are also envoys from Baekje and Silla......

Silla and Baekje have already learned about this, and they were involved in the original plans formulated by the rebels, so it is not surprising to hear it now.

On the contrary, it was now that Yu Qian discovered that the Bohai State had entered Liaodong, and the Wa Kingdom, which had sent soldiers and horses but did not send representatives, made Guo Rong even more uneasy.

Just when Guo Rong thought that the list of people involved in the rebel secret meeting was clear, and began to think about how far Li Shidao's connection with the Wa Kingdom had reached, Wu Shaoxiong said another word.

"Actually, in addition to these people, there is another person, according to the elder brother, this person is the initiator and continuator of the entire rebellion, and even the elder brother followed this person to the north."

This sentence pulled Guo Rong's thoughts back, and Guo Rong nodded, which is also compatible with the situation of the scout's investigation.

"What kind of person has such great ability, could it be that the Li Tang clan or ......?"

"General, that person's name is Chen Hongzhi, if I'm not mistaken, he is ......."

Chen Hongzhi!

After hearing this name, Guo Rong didn't listen to what Wu Shaoxiong said for a minute, because at this moment, the memories of a long time ago were gradually awakened from the depths of his mind.

Chen Hongzhi, Ju Wenzhen, these two names Guo Rong are really unforgettable.

From crossing over to this era, Guo Rong has experienced too many life and death situations, but if the most dangerous thing is that time, then it must be Xingqing Palace!

However, from another point of view, Xingqing Palace has become Guo Rong's real take-off in the Tang Dynasty, and

As an opponent, Ju Wenzhen, who pushed himself into a desperate situation, is also the most critical factor for Guo Rong's transformation from an excellent soldier to a qualified general.

In fact, the moment I heard Chen Hongzhi's name, the biggest question in a long time was finally answered.

Chen Hongzhi is the unknown opponent in his feelings.

can remember Chen Hongzhi not only because Chen Hongzhi is recognized as Ju Wenzhen's most trusted godson, not only because Ju Wenzhen controls the most important banner of the Shence Army, but more importantly, because Chen Hongzhi is the only chess player in the entire rebellious Shence Army who escaped alive.

To be honest, Guo Rong doesn't know Chen Hongzhi, but this does not affect Guo Rong's ability to know Chen Hongzhi's style, because Guo Rong knows Ju Wenzhen's scenery very well.

Emperor Li Yu is not a mediocre talent, this is very certain, but under the operation of Ju Wenzhen, Li Xu, who was originally ambitious, finally ended up being forced to abdicate.

And the most important reason why Ju Wenzhen was able to force Emperor Taishang Li Yu to abdicate was not the Shence Army, but Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu who was far away in Jiannan.

Although the original Wei Gao was divided, it was indeed a staunch royalist, as long as there was Wei Gao and the powerful Jiannan Army, even if all the Shence troops were connected to Ju Wenzhen, it would be absolutely impossible to force Li Yu to abdicate.

And Ju Wenzhen's approach was to fuel Wei Gao's ambitions, so that his existing Jiannandong and Xichuan knots could not satisfy Wei Gao's appetite.

After his ambitions swelled, Wei Gao went up and down, hoping to lead Jiannan East Road, Jiannan West Road, and Shannan West Road to realize the "Three Rivers Festival Envoy".

In the face of this request, Li Yu naturally did not dare to agree, and this led to Wei Gao's transformation from a royalist to an abdication.

In order to ensure Li Yu's abdication, Ju Wenzhen will take two paths, thinking about the weak, emaciated, and sickly white image in the scout's return, as the successor of Ju Wenzhen, Guo Rong believes that Chen Hongzhi will never be able to get out of the shackles of Ju Wenzhen.

At this point, Guo Rong felt that the confusion of war that lingered over the entire Tang Dynasty seemed to be beginning to dissipate.
