Chapter 123: How to Resolve the Northern Calamity

"If I am the commander of the Beiliang Army, I will definitely have to recover enough benefits to give He An such a great achievement."

"I only robbed a few state capitals on the northern border, I'm afraid it won't be enough to have an appetite."

Ye Xuanfeng stretched out his hand to the teacup on the table, dipped the tea and drew a sketch on the table.

Label the vicinity of Liangzhou.

"Bei Liang will inevitably get the news of the support of the garrison of the nearby state capital from He An's mouth, so as to choose a soft persimmon."

"I should choose a small city that is easy to defend and take it, and then use it as a passage to go south, sweeping the entire northern border in the southeast of Liangzhou."

As soon as Ye Xuanfeng drew his fingers, it was an area, and dozens of state capitals were all affected by the disaster.

Fang Jue nodded slightly, the same as he thought, but thoughtfully.

"Excuse me." Fang Jue got up and went to the study to retrieve a scroll of maps.

When I came back, I saw Zhuge Qingshan's face gloomy, like a mourning exam.

"What did you say?" Fang Jue asked, motioning for Dian Yi to empty the table and spread out the map.

Both of them looked stunned.

What was meant to be said also came to an abrupt end.

"Is this a map of the terrain?" Zhuge Qingshan exclaimed, "It's so detailed? ”

Ye Xuanfeng has never seen it, and such a detailed map is also amazing.

"The young master still knows how to draw maps?" Ye Xuanfeng felt that he still underestimated this genius.

Fang Jue motioned to the two of them to look at the map: "This is a detailed map of the northern border." ”

Ye Xuanfeng pointed to Liangzhou, then pointed to the official road and slid to the nearby checkpoint, nodding again and again.

"It's exactly the same as the military's map, and it's more detailed, it was collected by the Emperor Zun Pavilion?" Ye Xuanfeng thought of the Emperor Pavilion.

Fang Jue didn't explain, nodded and said, "Please use this pen to gently draw the area on the map." ”

Ye Xuanfeng took the pencil, but he was reluctant to draw: "Isn't this a waste?" ”

"It's okay, you can wipe it off." Fang Jue said with a smile.

Doubting the letter, Ye Xuanfeng used a pencil to draw on the edge of the map very lightly and looked at Fang Jue.

I'll see how you rub it.

Zhuge Qingshan also looked at it.

I saw that Fang Jue was unhurried, took out an eraser from his pocket, and wiped off the traces left by the pencil with a light stroke.

"Wow!"

The two bigwigs were shocked like monkeys, as if they had never seen the world.

"What's this good stuff?" Zhuge Qingshan asked keenly, and he realized that this and that small square had magical power.

Never, writing on paper can still erase it!

If so, how much paper would be saved?

Fang Jue smiled: "Let's go back and talk about it, it's important to get down to business." ”

"Oh, yes." Zhuge Qingshan and Ye Xuanfeng looked at each other, and they became colorful.

Ye Xuanfeng no longer worried about destroying the map, and drew a large circle on the map with a pencil.

Fang Jue counted: "The affected areas, as many as eighteen state capitals? ”

Zhuge Qingshan also felt: "Is it too sensational? ”

Ye Xuanfeng shook his head: "Bei Liang is very ambitious this time, and he must have great plans...... There is no natural danger to defend in this area, and once it is broken, the northern cool will be like a bamboo......"

Even under more than a dozen states, this kind of courage is not absent from Beiliang, but they can't hold it, and they will still retreat.

But everyone knew that when they retreated, there would probably only be an empty city left, and it would probably burn all the fires.

"How to save?" Zhuge Qingshan looked at Ye Xuanfeng with blank eyes.

Although the scholar is pedantic, he is also soft-hearted after all, and the lives of the soldiers and civilians in more than a dozen states, how can they not be saved.

Ye Xuanfeng shook his head: "I'm afraid that at this time, the Beiliang Army has already moved, and the invasion of Beiliang is irreversible." ”

"How can it be so ......?"

Seeing Zhuge Qingshan's dejected appearance, Fang Jue said: "It's certain that it will be looted, but you can find a way to minimize the loss." ”

"Young Master has an idea?" Ye Xuanfeng looked over, this time he wanted to see how Fang Jue would break the game.

Fang Jue pointed to Liangzhou.

"Control He An, send false news to Beiliang, and lay a net to close the door and beat the invading Beiliang army, and catch them all."

The method is simple.

Ye Xuanfeng agreed: "The bell must be tied to the bell, this matter started from He An, he has a deep collusion with Bei Liang, but we can take advantage of this." ”

"But the problem now is that we have no evidence of He An's collusion with Bei Liang." Zhuge Qingshan also came back to his senses and discovered this problem.

If He An is to be controlled, it must be decreed by His Majesty, then there needs to be evidence.

"Don't forget, He Anke is the brother of He Guifei." Ye Xuanfeng reminded Zhuge Qingshan.

Fang Jue smiled: "It's just a clan brother, but fortunately it's not a brother." ”

Zhuge Qingshan heard this: "I understand, I'll go to see Your Majesty." ”

"Wait a minute."

Fang Jue pressed Zhuge Qingshan, who was about to get up.

"How does Lord Shoufu plan to persuade Your Majesty to believe that He An is the initiator and Wei Ran is the victim...... More importantly, how to convince the He family that their youngest and promising junior has collaborated with the enemy? ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Qingshan frowned.

The He family's power in the army is very strong, and many generals of one faction are guarding various places, which is not a force that can be underestimated.

Arbitrarily accusing is tantamount to framing, and it is impossible for the He family to agree to things without evidence.

The military generals do not agree with it, and neither do the people of the world.

Framing a general on trumped-up charges will be remembered for 10,000 years.

"A person like He An, even if there is evidence, I am afraid that it will not be easy to completely bring it down, not to mention that there is no evidence now?" Ye Xuanfeng sneered.

No matter how holy the emperor is, he has to pay attention to the influence and care about people's hearts.

If a person is suspected, he will be arrested directly, tortured and then convicted, and outsiders will feel that it is a trick.

And the officials protect each other, the He family is too big, and the generals of a faction will defend He An.

Because once He An is convicted of treason, there will be a big nest of people implicated, and the military will really break his bones.

"How's that to be?" Zhuge Qingshan sat back, his tone anxious.

Fang Jue and Ye Xuanfeng chuckled, if they talked about government affairs and people's governance, the two of them would definitely not be able to compare to Zhuge Qingshan.

But in terms of military affairs, as well as the application of some means, this old cabinet chief assistant is still too tender.

The more you read, the more you feel that the world should be reasonable, and once you encounter unreasonable people or things, it will be difficult to make progress.

"You can try to catch a general of Beiliang first, or the personal soldiers of the general of Beiliang...... From his mouth, he tortured the relationship between He An and He An. ”

"It's justifiable to investigate on this ground, but you don't have to take it too seriously, just send a messenger to do it...... But this person will definitely not be able to withstand the investigation, and as soon as Qin Cha arrives in He An, he will definitely panic and expose his flaws. ”

Ye Xuanfeng said lightly: "In this way, you can seriously investigate He An, take him under control, and then interrogate his henchmen...... There's always someone who will say it. ”

To do these things, it is impossible for He An to be without the participation of his henchmen, and it is impossible for him to contact the border army far away in Beiliang alone.

It is also impossible to send a message to the Beiliang Army.

So there must be one, a henchman who delivers the message to him, at least one.

When this person was caught, He An was completely exposed.

Next, just leave it to the Hanging Sword Division.

"This ......" Zhuge Qingshan heard this, and only felt that this method seemed familiar.

"Isn't this the means of the Hanging Sword Division?" Zhuge Qingshan frowned.

It is so ruthless and purposeful, but there are many illegal and unreasonable things in acting...... But the result was right.

This is the Hanging Sword Division.

And Ye Xuanfeng said, catch a general who communicates with He An......

This is the same as saying, arrest a Beiliang army, and casually say that he has a relationship with He An...... What's the difference?

How could it be possible to catch such a key person?

Zhuge Qingshan shook his head.

"Lord Shousuke, when the national disaster is at the head, do you still want to be pedantic?" Ye Xuanfeng said helplessly.

Fang Jue also felt that Ye Xuanfeng's approach was very decisive, although he might have wronged people, He An was not wronged.

"Not suitable...... Or send someone from the Hanging Sword Division to keep an eye on He An, he will definitely send someone to contact Bei Liang, and just catch that person when the time comes. Zhuge Qingshan analyzed.

Ye Xuanfeng raised his eyebrows: "Then when do you have to wait, it's too late!" ”

Zhuge Qingshan Zhengse: "The judiciary must be procedurally reasonable, otherwise there will be trouble, catch a He An today, and tomorrow you can be emulated, and a good person will be unjustly killed!" ”

"......" Ye Xuanfeng was speechless.

The justice of the judicial process, as the first assistant Zhuge Qingshan, must be maintained.

At the moment of national crisis, Ye Xuanfeng's choice is also correct, but it will lay hidden dangers for the future.

Fang Jue said: "I agree with Lord Shoufu, but He An should no longer be in charge of the army." Inform Your Majesty of your suspicions, and you can remove He An's military power first...... It is better to use the reward as a reason to transfer him back. ”

"Would he like to come back?" Ye Xuanfeng didn't quite agree.

"No, He An did so much just to come back, he wanted to rise up. And on the side of the concubine, there can also be a rhetoric, it can be said that the concubine Niangniang saw that the war was imminent, and she couldn't bear to let her brother die on the battlefield, so she persuaded His Majesty to transfer him back to ......" Zhuge Qingshan's mind turned quickly.

As long as these schemes are involved, Shousuke-sama's brain is surprisingly easy to use.
