Yang Ming, who is in Luoyang, has been paying attention to the battle on the front line, and once the military information is sent to Luoyang, it will be sent to the East Palace as soon as possible.

Officials at all levels were not allowed to go home during this period, and all of them were stationed at the yamen of various ministries in the imperial city, waiting for the prince's call at any time.

"Xingyang has stabilized, and Qu Tutong has sent a message that Xuanzong has continued to pursue the enemy to the east, and the Shandong rebels have dispersed," Fang Xuanling said.

Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Then at this time, we should send troops to Xingyang, and the crisis in the eastern capital has been resolved." ”

Xingyang is on the edge of the eastern capital, the lifeblood of the canal, as long as this place is okay, there is no threat to the east of Luoyang.

In this way, the army stationed in Luoyang can be moved, and no matter how many soldiers you have, if you don't need it, it is not equal to nothing.

"Is there any news from Xuan Zong?" Yang Ming asked.

Fang Xuanling shook his head: "Xuan Ting and Xu Shiji are resting in Xingyang, Hou Junji has seconded some grain, and they are already on the road, count the days, they should be in Dongjun, without the order of His Highness, they will not enter Shandong." ”

To the east of Dongjun is Dongping County and Jiyin County in Shandong.

Now that Zhang Xutuo is not in Shandong, Yang Ming will not easily let the army take risks, and guarding Dongjun is to guard the passage from Shandong to Luoyang.

Yang Ming's decision is to hit Hebei first, as long as Hebei and Henan are stable, Shandong is easy to say, clean up Shandong, and then go all the way south, it is Jiangnan.

"We still have to instruct Xuan Zong, lest he be lured by the enemy and take it lightly," Li Jing suggested.

This suggestion can only be said by him, because this sounds like it seems to be uneasy for Xuan Zong, and it is easy to be understood as saying bad things, and it is easy for Xuan Zong to understand that you look down on Lao Tzu?

When others say this, Xuan Zong will hold a grudge, but Li Jing is fine.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "People, as soon as your brain is hot, you dare to do anything, the pharmacist's advice is right, and you must not leave Dongjun under any circumstances." ”

"The Taiping Gong has been stationed in Liyangcang, and now it is the end of the lunar month, and the Wagang thieves may attack Wei County at any time, so we should send troops," Tu Wanxu reminded.

Yang Ming nodded: "10,000 people will be transferred from the Luoyang garrison, led by Tu Wanxu, with Su Lie as the deputy general, and go to Banzhu Wharf, and after determining the safety of the route along the river, board a boat to cross the river." ”

A fluttering sentence, in fact, it takes a long time to prepare, how can it be so fast to mobilize 10,000 people, which is why the general's indecision for a while will delay major events.

Tu Wanxu didn't expect that the prince would be so happy, he thought that people would discuss it with everyone and make a decision, but it turned out to be a quick decision.

People are happy, there is no reason not to be happy, Tu Wanxu hurriedly got up and said, "The minister will go down to prepare." ”

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Ordered Qu Tutong to supply the army to the north, and he will allocate it as soon as he wants, and he will eat Xingluocang." ”

Tu Wanxu is overjoyed, which is equivalent to arranging his logistics and supplies clearly.

"There are too many thieves in Hebei, even if Tu Wanxu goes, it is still unknown whether he can resist the Wagang thieves," After Tu Wanxu and Su Lie left, Dugu Su frowned.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "This time to suppress the rebellion, Hebei is the most important, Ji County is the stronghold on the north bank of the army, there is no room for mistakes, Tu Wanxu went, the enemy was not enough to retreat, and there was more than enough to resist the army, and when the news of Dongjun came, the pharmacist took my Donggong guard rate on the road." ”

Li Jing nodded: "The minister is ordered." ”

Then, Yang Ming looked at Wu Hua and said: "As for some civil unrest in various parts of Henan, I ordered all counties and counties to recruit 800 to 3,000 troops as appropriate, and pacify the chaos in their jurisdictions as soon as possible. ”

Wu Hua nodded and said, "The minister understands." ”

At present, although there are still some riots in Henan, the scale is not large, and there is no climate.

If it was too chaotic, Yang Ming would not dare to give strict orders to the local magistrate, otherwise he would force the other party to make a move that was unfavorable to the imperial court.

In the place of great chaos, we should be gentle, and small chaos can be regarded as normal.

At this time, Xue Shui, who had been hesitating and not speaking, suddenly said: "The minister thinks that if you want to send troops, now is the only time, the snow has stopped, the road is already frozen, if there is another snow, the march may not be able to reach." ”

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, this is the disadvantage of not going out, I can't think of this.

Yang Yichen frowned and said: "But there is no news about the direction of Xuanzong, what happened to him, we don't know, in case there is a fierce battle in Dongjun, I am afraid it is not appropriate for us to transfer the garrison army." ”

Li Jing shook his head and said: "Since the last heavy snowfall, it has been cloudy and sunny, which is not conducive to snow melting, if there is another heavy snowfall, the army will not be able to mobilize, Bo Bao (Xue Shuzi) is reasonable, if Ji County can't be guaranteed, the impact will be too great." ”

At this time, everyone looked at Yang Ming, waiting for him to make an idea.

After a while, Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "There are many cities around the eastern capital, even if the army is transferred, the impact will not be too great, as the pharmacist said, Jijun is now the key to my northward journey, and its importance has exceeded that of Xingyang. ”

"Command!" Li Jing and Huangfu Wuyi got up and said.

The emperor has no escape, nominally or the eastern capital stays, except for the emperor and the prince, no one else can be transferred, and now the prince is sitting in Luoyang, so he is staying in name only.

This is not considered a power overhead, this is called power suppression.

In fact, at this time, Ji County was already about to fight.

It is very unbelievable to say that the rebels in Shandong were divided, many rebels fled in all directions, some people snatched some boats from the villages along the coast, crossed the river and went north, and some even swam through the Yellow River.

The strength of vitality can be seen, some people can freeze to death outside, and some people dare to cross the Yellow River in winter.

So, the difference in people's physique is really big.

The Yellow River here is basically in the middle and lower reaches, not as turbulent as the upstream, but it definitely does not meet the conditions for crossing.

After crossing the river, the rebels scattered and looked for places to plunder, and they knew better than anyone where there were officers and soldiers, because they only dared to plunder where there were no officers and soldiers.

Therefore, Zhai Rang, who was in Neihuang County, learned that a large army of the imperial court had arrived in Liyangcang.

"Order Situ Zhai Hong, who is stationed in Tangyin, to immediately send troops to attack Wei County," Zhai Rang said in the lobby.

He is a very fierce person, but the way he laughs will make people feel very kind, especially if he matches his eyes, he will give people a very trustworthy feeling.

Although he is an anti-thief, he must have something outstanding to be able to get to this point.

As for that Situ Zhai Hong, it is his own brother, and now the Wagang Army has played the game of the imperial court, although Zhai Rang did not claim the king, but he proclaimed himself Otsuka Zai, that is, the official system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian did this.

This is simply an insult to Yang Guang.

The team below the Wagang Army is also roughly organized in accordance with the imperial court.

Situ Zhai Hong, Sikong Wang Bodang, the left servant shot Wang Ruxin, the right servant shot Bing Yuanzhen, the book, the treasure of Ji Yuan, the military department Shangshu Zhai Mohou and so on.

He even canonized Huang Junhan, the life-saving benefactor of the year, as the Duke of Dongjun, how dare Huang Junhan admit this? Didn't you sell me?

That's the temptation of power.

In the history of Wagangzhai, there are many cattle, and most of them are coming for Li Mi, which is why Li Mi can seize power, why am I especially Guanlong from a noble family, and give you a poor man? What about dreaming, you?

Bing Yuanzhen said in a deep voice: "I don't know how many people came to Liyangcang, but it will definitely not be much, the weather is very cold, and the Luoyang official army has just fought with the Shandong Righteous Army, so there should be no time to take care of Jijun, right?" ”

"Don't be delusional now, you're comforting yourself," Yuan Bao said with a dejected face: "The 150,000 army was defeated like this?" The defenders of Luoyang were already free to move north. ”

Wang Bodang frowned and said: "Li Deyi is also a hero, Shandong is dominant, how can he be so vulnerable?" ”

Yuan Baobao has now regretted it, he was originally the county of Wuyang County, and he couldn't beat the Wagang army when he attacked the city, so he directly tied up the Taishou Lu Chisong and surrendered the city.

He said in a dead heart: "The prince is sitting in Luoyang, leading the Quartet, you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter, the prince has never been defeated, we want to be an exception, we have to plan early." ”

"You still call that son of the faint king the crown prince?" The left servant shot Wang Ruxin and sneered: "One minister doesn't care about the second master, I said Brother Yuan, your ass is not sitting upright." ”

"Don't make any noise," Zhai Rang said in a deep voice:

"I often say to you, you can't underestimate the enemy at any time, not to mention that our opponent this time is the son of Yang Thief, this son has a very high prestige in the army, Yang Su's old department and Shi Wansui's old department, are his supporters, Shandong Righteous Army, this time it is a hard stubble, the defeat is reasonable, if you don't want to follow in its footsteps, we should now mobilize all the troops, and go all out to attack Weixian and Liyangcang, otherwise when the weather is warm, the official army crosses the river to the north, and we will have no way to retreat."

Yuan Baobao hurriedly said: "Otsuka Zai is wise, only by blocking it on the other side, can we attack Hebei, that southerner named Xiao Milling is now heading south, in the second half of the first month, it will arrive in Wu'an, let's invite it to ally, it is the best policy." ”

Xiao Mo went all the way south, and kept greeting the princes from all walks of life, which means that I am going back to Jiangnan, don't stop me, and I don't care about your business.

Everyone is a thief, so they will naturally be accommodating, not to mention that the soldiers in the hands of others have refined weapons, and if they really want to fight, they will suffer.

"Can he come down? Will Zhang Xutuo let him go south so easily? "Bing Yuan is true.

Wang Bodang nodded and said: "Zhang Xutuo is clearly going to continue to go north and fight Geqian with Laihu'er, and the others should not be against Zhang Xutuo for the time being, but Xiao Mo will go south, I am afraid that he will go from Shandong, not necessarily from us." ”

After Zhai Rang pondered for a long time, he said: "Send someone to contact Xiao Miao, as long as he is willing to help, I will share half of him in Liyang Cang, they will have no food, go down to the south of the Yangtze River, you can't go hungry, right?" ”

"Otsuka Zai Takami, that's exactly how it should be," Motobao said with great joy.
