Chapter 1037: The Heart Is Settled

The Khitans went south to prepare in advance, and to see the reaction of the French army.

The reaction speed of the French commander's army is very fast, and it has already gathered troops in Xiangyang and Nanyang, but for the time being, there is no posture to go north, and it is going all out to defend. If the French commander's army has not taken the initiative to go north, then the future war should start in the two counties of Chungling and Nanyang.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Erwen decided to maintain a confrontation with the French Shuai Army for the time being, and make every effort to take Yongzhou.

As a result, the offensive against Hedong became more resolute.

Zhang Xiuben was the secretary of the military department of the imperial court, and he had a deep understanding of the military strength of the imperial court in all aspects, and specially put forward many details to Ye Erwen to facilitate the Khitan army to "prescribe the right medicine".

In addition, the few ghost ideas he came up with before were also very good.

The Yan family and the Ma family have been shaken, and they secretly sent someone over to communicate, Ye Erwen is infinitely welcome, and he can even send a master to support.

Although Lu Yuanke, who sent people to pretend to be bandits to arrest civilians from Hongnong, Hedong and other places to threaten Luoyang City, did not succeed, the movement was very large, and there were civilians fleeing for their lives everywhere, gradually spreading to Yongzhou, giving people a feeling that the imperial court could not cover it completely.

Compared with the calmness of Ye Erwen and others, Lu Yuancheng, the emperor of Chang'an City, seemed much more passive.

Li Lingwu and Cui Ping's military power was removed without suspense.

The two behaved very similarly, they didn't make a big fuss, they didn't say a word, they just complained a few words in private, and then laughed at themselves, just the kind that the Ouchi guards heard, which made Lu Yuancheng breathe a little relieved and sent a reward to appease.

Of course, there are many things to worry about, and there are two of them recently.

First of all, the wealthy Guo family fled Yongzhou and went directly to Fangling County.

Secondly, the rumors about the Yan family and the Ma family fleeing from Yongzhou are getting more and more intense, although the Yan family and the Ma family have tried their best to defend themselves, but Lu Yuancheng's suspicions are getting heavier and heavier.

These two things made Lu Xuandong lose face, because these three families have something to do with him.

Although the Guo family is not a powerful family, it can't attract so much attention in the stormy Yongzhou, but there are not no people who are staring at the Guo family, but they slipped away so smoothly, which shows that there is a big problem.

If it is to be thoroughly investigated, a large number of people will definitely be involved.

The Guo family has fled, and the relevant doubts and problems have to be suppressed temporarily, and the most important thing now is to be optimistic about the Yan family and the Ma family.

Lu Xuandong asked Lu Yuancheng to personally send people to see the Yan and Ma families to prevent them from taking the back road of the Zhang family.

After getting permission, Lu Xuandong sent the generals who had followed him for many years to go out, and the first thing was to secretly arrest the family members of the Ouchi guards who had originally monitored Yan and Ma's second family.

With the lessons learned from the previous rebellion of the Ouchi guards who monitored the Zhang family, Lu Xuandong had to be cautious. Who knows if the Ouchi guards who monitored Yan and Ma Er's families were bribed.

It's despicable to catch a family member, but it's usually a very effective way to do it.

After this axe went down, it really got an effect, and those big internal guards patted their chests one by one and assured Lu Xuandong that they would definitely stare at Yan and Ma's two families, and if his two families dared to make a move, they would do it as soon as possible.

After a period of time, there was no change in the Yan and Ma families, so Lu Xuandong was relieved, as for whether those inner guards would be resentful, Lu Xuandong couldn't care so much.

There were tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, but in order to support Luoyang, a lot of them were sent out earlier, and most of them were sacrificed, and now there are only more than 10,000 left in Yongzhou.

Li Lingwu's errand was relieved, and the command of more than 10,000 people temporarily fell into the hands of Lu Shiqing. And the command of Cui Ping's team of more than 10,000 people fell directly into the hands of Lu Shiyan.

Coupled with the Ouchi guard team, the Lu family's masters, generals and the like, Yongzhou's top army is only more than 30,000. If you have to make a hard calculation, there are still about 60,000 border guards under Qin Siyu on the Wuyuan side, but they can't move lightly after all.

As for Xue Shanglin, the assassin of Yongzhou, there are not many people under him, and most of them are miscellaneous teams.

At Lu Shiqing's suggestion, Lu Yuancheng decided to work to the end and sent Lu Yuanfeng to replace Qin Siyu with five yuan. With Lu Yuanfeng's half-heartedness, being the commander of the border guards is of course unreliable, but there are only a few people around Lu Yuancheng who can be trusted.

Before the person arrived, Qin Siyu made a fuss, and bluntly said that if His Majesty couldn't trust the old minister, he would directly take off the hat and title of the defense general on the old minister's side, and the old minister didn't care at all.

Qin Siyu has always been loyal and capable, and he has a good set of defensive battles, but his temper is also very hard, even harder than Tang Zhifeng, comparable to a brute.

The reason why he made trouble this time was also because of his loyalty.

In his opinion, the emperor's frequent collection of military power is chilling, and he is undoubtedly digging his own grave and speeding up the pace of Yongzhou's collapse.

Lu Shiqing also said in the past, after all, he was a lieutenant and had also mixed in the army, although Lu Shiyan was an idle prince, but after all, he was talented, and everyone knew it. And what kind of thing is Lu Yuanfeng, who can also lead the troops? Usually he doesn't do bullshit, he only knows how to tell right and wrong, wantonly accumulate money, and let him take charge of the army, what kind of bullshit is it?

The emperor didn't understand Qin Siyu's loyalty, thinking that Qin Siyu simply couldn't get used to Lu Yuanfeng, so he immediately sent someone to reprimand him, and thought about it in front of him. However, he was still a little sensible and did not take back Qin Siyu's title.

Because Qin Siyu has a very high prestige among the border guards, one careless will cause turmoil.

Qin Siyu snorted angrily, but there was nothing he could do, after handing over the big seal, he led people to hunt. His old friend Xue Shanglin also specially sent Duan Long to persuade him to be patient and not to do anything out of the ordinary, so as not to affect his family.

The only thing that made Lu Yuancheng feel at ease was the actions of the French commander.

The forces of the French marshal army advancing into Xiyang have been completely withdrawn and all of them have been remitted to Nanyang, which means that the French marshal army has no intention of entering Yongzhou for the time being.

Lu Yuancheng even silently looked forward to it in his heart, if the army could go north from the direction of Nanyang, if it really didn't work, it would be good for the Khitans to continue to go south. It's quite beautiful to think about, but it's a pity that the Khitan and the French Shuai Army seem to have a tacit understanding, and they all stop and confront each other.

After Li Lingwu was idle, instead of feeling the slightest discomfort, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that I, Li Lingwu, are unjust, but that you Lu Yuancheng is unkind first!

The matter was handed over to Li Hu and others, and Li Lingwu even picked up a birdcage that he hadn't touched for many years to go shopping and play, as if he was back in his youth. I thought to myself that it would be better if someone competed in martial arts.

Li Hu came to report: "Big brother, everything that can be arranged in Yongzhou has been arranged, according to your requirements, money and foreign things, so it didn't attract much attention." In addition, Brother Qing's side has secretly notified Wu Feng and Wu Fear, and has also come up with a set of safe plans, the positions of the two of them are not high, and they are not eye-catching, so it should not be a big problem to find an opportunity to slip away. Right now...... Now it's up to Hedong......"

Li Lingwu hummed lightly, and his heart was settled.
