Li Deyi and a group of thieves, a total of 72 people, were escorted to Luoyang, two froze to death on the way, and the rest were frozen enough.

We can't let them die, they are alive now, and they are worth more.

Yang Ming asked them to change into some thick clothes, and then sent troops to escort them to Jingshi.

Daddy Yang Guang held his stomach, Li Deyi is undoubtedly a good object to be angry, and his end is estimated to be the same as Wang Bo, wasting a pot of oil.

The military situation sent to Beijing from Luoyang has never been broken, and what has happened here, Yang Ming will report to Beijing as soon as possible.

If it were replaced by other commanders, they would not do this, and would deliberately delay it, creating a time lag to avoid the emperor's intervention.

This is not disloyalty, but an inevitable means, the position of commander, there are too many things to consider, human feelings and sophistication are the top priority, above, below, have to be taken care of.

But Yang Ming didn't have this concern, because he dared to disobey the order.

Only he dared to disobey the order, so Yang Guang would not find himself uncomfortable and issue an order, but the prince didn't listen, this was a slap in his face, in order to avoid a slap in the face, it was better to shut up.

It depends on the people, some people do this, and they are dead, and some people show the harmony between the monarch and the minister.

It comes down to one thing, that is, the emperor can't do anything about you.

"The prince used his troops quickly, and before the New Year, he broke the thieves in Shandong, and now Henan has become stable, and this year's Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty can celebrate with the people," Pei Ju said with a smile at the court meeting.

After Yang Guang received the news, he was already smiling, because the distance was too far, so the Jingshi only knew that the Shandong thieves had been defeated.

After all, it is 150,000 people, although Yang Xuanzong fought very smoothly, but when it was reported to the imperial court, it could not be said that it was very difficult to render the process.

It took a lot of effort for me to win.

Yang Yue frowned and said: "The prince's side is going well, but coming to protect the child, it is still a little stretched, Ge Qian and Gao Kaidao thieves have already gathered 150,000 troops, Zhang Xutuo is not going north, and the decisive battle may have to wait until May." ”

"The best way for them is to drag," Yuwen said: "There are Khitan tribes under the command of Hu'er, these people are unreliable after all, and they haven't started fighting yet, just because they can't fight, once there is an unfavorable situation, the Khitan is afraid of abandoning Rong Gong and leaving, Liaodong Deng Wei only brought 20,000 people, the disparity in troops is too great, guarding the official warehouse of Zhuo County, and it can be consumed to protect Er." ”

"Zhang Xutuo can't afford it," Pei Yun frowned and said: "He has been struggling to enter Hebei since he entered Hebei, and that Gao Shida in Qinghe County is also a member of the Gao family, I am afraid that he will collude with Ge Qian Gao Kaidao, if the two thieves are together, the north of Hebei will be a big melee." ”

Yu Shiji said: "Can you let Tang Guogong take the well path into Hebei to assist Rong Gong?" ”

Jingjing is one of the eight trails of Taihang, which is the mountain road from Yangquan in Shanxi to Shijiazhuang in Hebei, and Niangziguan is on this line, but it is definitely not now, because Niangziguan was built by Li Xiuning in history.

Yang Yue shook his head: "It's not appropriate, Shanxi must be guarded, once Li Yuan is transferred out of Shanxi, I am afraid that he will be taken by the Turks, and then the Turks can go down the southwest of the mountain to Guanzhong, and there are not many soldiers in Guanzhong now." ”

Yang Guang nodded and said: "Shanxi can't move, how is the contact between Shiju and the Turks?" ”

Pei Ju sighed: "I have already lost a lot of property to Ashina Suni, but this person's attitude is difficult to understand, I think that he has the intention to take advantage of Jieli and replace him, but at the moment, I am afraid that the time is not right, so I can't come in a hurry." ”

Ashina Suni is Qimin's younger brother, and he is currently a major force in the Eastern Turks after the Great Khan.

Da Sui intends to sow discord, but it has not received any effect at the moment, in fact, the reason is clear to everyone, the civil strife in Da Sui, if there is no civil strife, Ashina Suni is lost in the support of Da Sui, maybe he dares to touch Jieli, but he definitely doesn't have the courage right now.

"The situation in Hebei is complicated, and it is a wise move for Your Majesty to choose to give priority to quelling the rebellion in Hebei," Yang Da said: "Now it seems that it is still necessary to wait until the prince exterminates the Wagang thieves before the dawn of Hebei can appear." ”

Cui Junsu said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that the heavy snow in Luoyang and the southward road have hindered the prince's opportunity to go north, otherwise, we should have received good news in February." ”

"Jiangdu has become a confrontation situation, Wei Xuan has not been able to please him when he goes, the people of the world are playing, and they dare not send troops easily, worried that Feng Xuan will change," Su Wei said: "Half of Jiangnan has fallen into the hands of thieves, and the situation is not much better than Hebei." ”

"Order Wei Xuan, find an opportunity to take the initiative to fight," Yang Guang said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers changed color.

Yang Yue hurriedly said: "By all means, Wei Xuan is a contemporary famous general, he knows the situation in Jiangnan better than us, how to decide, the court should not intervene as well, anxious to fight, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive." ”

"You mean, my army can't defeat the traitors?" Yang Guang's face changed, and he said gloomily.

Su Wei said roundly: "Yang Gong definitely doesn't mean this, Jiangnan is endowed with important land for the country, Wei Xuan knows the severity, he doesn't dare to fight now, he must have some concerns, and it is definitely not cowardice." ”

"It is precisely because of the country's heavy land that we can't let the thieves run rampant," Yang Guang said: "You don't want last year's taxes, I still have to ask for it, the treasury has no money, who will make up for it?" It's him? Or are you? ”

Su Wei and Yang were dumbfounded.

That's what the ass decides the head.

At present, there is chaos in all directions, the treasury is empty, and the taxes in Jiangnan have not been collected last year, if they can't be collected, Wei Xuan and they will have to starve, once there is a mutiny again, it will be much more terrible than the anti-thief.

In fact, Du Fuwei had already collected it for the imperial court, and the money went into his pocket, and even if Wei Xuan went south to recapture a few counties, he would have no money to collect.

All the ministers were silent, so a will urging Wei Xuan to fight a decisive battle was sent out.

In fact, Wei Xuan, who was in the south of the Yangtze River, did not fight because he was afraid that once he lost Jiangdu, the line from Luoyang to Jiangdu would be broken.

Yang Ming's defeat of the Shandong thieves in Luoyang was a good thing for the imperial court, but not for Wei Xuan, because after the Shandong rebels returned to Shandong, they were already eager to try, and there were signs of going south.

Wei Xuan is equivalent to being sandwiched between Shandong and Du Fuwei and other rebels, and there will only be one way to survive at that time, which is the Tongji Canal.

Therefore, Jiangdu must not be lost.

"The prince is attacking Hebei, and he has no time to take care of us for the time being, and the matter of Jiangdu still needs to be decided by the general manager," Wang Shichong said in the lobby of the official office.

Wei Xuan had a headache and said: "After fighting Hebei, we will fight Shandong, and after fighting Shandong, we will go down to Jiangnan, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive that time, I have already sent a letter to the prince to seek a solution." ”

He took 50,000 troops from the Beijing Division, together with the Jiangdu garrison, plus Zhou Zhongmu's Xiangyang Naval Army, the strength was already between 80,000, but Du Fuwei in the south had already become a climate, occupying five counties of Lujiang, Danyang, Liyang, Biling, and Wujun, with 200,000 troops, and proclaimed himself the governor of Jianghuai.

To the south of Dufuwe, there are still several big anti-thief leaders, who have divided one side and do not invade each other.

In this case, Wei Xuan did not dare to leave Jiangdu with his troops at all.

At this time, someone outside the door spread that the prince Qianniu was preparing for Wei Huaijing.

"Hurry up, please," Wei Xuan was overjoyed and greeted him in person.

Wei Huaijing is Wei Zhen's son and the elder brother of the prince Liangyuan Wei Xianhui.

"Brother Xian came from afar, he must have taken the prince's instructions, right?" Wei Xuan smiled and asked the other party to sit down.

Wei Huaijing nodded and said: "The prince has received the letter from the chief manager, and his old man has an idea, maybe he can temporarily solve the situation in Jiangnan." ”

"Brother Xian, please say," Wei Xuan said.

Wei Huaijing said: "Canonized Xin'an County thief Wang Hua as the governor of Shezhou, Poyang County Caoshi Qi as the governor of Raozhou, Lin Shihong of Yuzhang County as the governor of Hongzhou, and Liu Yuanjin of Wu County as the governor of Wuzhou, so that they led their troops to attack Du Fuwei." ”

After that, Wei Huaijing took out a few copies of the canonization decree stamped with the prince's seal:

"If the chief governor wishes, he may send this decree to everyone."

Wei Xuan, Wang Shichong and other generals were stunned and looked at each other.

There is no doubt that this is quite a pretty awesome strategy, but the question is, is the emperor willing to do it?

These people are all anti-thieves, the emperor is eager to kill them and then hurry up, canonize the official position, and the court's face is gloomy, because this means that the court can't do anything about you, so he chose to recruit An.

"This. This is such a big thing, my father doesn't dare to be the master," Wei Xuan said bitterly, the responsibility is too great, I don't dare to carry it.

Wei Huaijing said with a smile: "The Hebei Rebellion will end in autumn at the earliest, and at the end of the year if it is late, if the chief manager can survive until that time, he will not have to do this." ”

Yang Ming's idea is tantamount to playing a discordant plan among the thieves in Jiangnan, aren't you not fighting now? If you are bent on resisting the imperial court, then I will recruit you.

Wang Hua, Liu Yuanjin and others are not very powerful, and they can't compare to Du Fuwei, which is the combination of strength and weakness.

Anti-thief, if you can be an official, you may not be a thief.

"My father is afraid that His Majesty will condemn you," Wei Xuan sighed.

Wei Huaijing smiled and said: "The chief manager doesn't have to worry about this, when the prince went on the expedition, he invited His Majesty in the Daxing Palace, this is an expedient measure, and Your Majesty agreed." ”

"Don't you fool me?" Wei Xuandao.

Wei Huaijing smiled: "How dare I dare to use this kind of thing to trick your old man?" The prince's fatwa document is also there, this can't be faked, right? ”

After Wei Xuan took the decree and read it, he was silent for a long time and then nodded: "This move is undoubtedly the best way at the moment, since this is the case, please tell the prince, and Wei Xuan will do it." ”

Wei Huaijing got up and arched his hand: "Then Jiangnan will ask the general manager, when I came, the main force of Luoyang had already opened to the north, and the matter in Hebei would be solved soon. ”

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "Please tell the prince that Wei Xuan will never lose Jiangdu and wait for the marshal's army." ”

Yang Ming can control the soldiers and horses of the world when he goes out on an expedition, and at the level of coming to protect his children and Wei Xuan, he can only be obedient, not to mention Yujuluo Zhang Xutuo.
