Li Cun continued to be the general of the Southern Guard Army, directly accepted the emperor's orders, and was not subordinate to any imperial court organization, so it stands to reason that he did not need to accept Cai Xun's questioning.
But he still replied honestly: "As the general of the unified army of a town, Han Baohu is changing the battle situation on the front line rapidly, so the emperor gave him a holy decree, so that he can act cheaply and deal with anything that happens in Jiannan Dao, and he does not have to present everything to the emperor." ”
"It is true that he negotiated peace with Tubo, but there is no direct evidence that he has privately allied with Tubo, so the Southern Guards can only go to the imperial front and bow to the Holy Judge, as for the matter of privately releasing the leader of the Tubo tribe, His Majesty has also issued an order to ask him about this matter, and his echo is just a plan to divide and confuse. All these things that may be taboo are not to mention. ”
"Han Baohu is definitely not a person who follows the rules, and most of the things he does deviate from the duty of a minister, but it is an ironclad fact that he dealt a fatal blow to the Tubo army during his tenure in Jiannan Province, and a large part of the great military advantage of the Great Jing Dynasty over Tubo is attributed to him, does Zuo Servant Shoot approve of this?"
Cai Xun nodded in approval.
Li Cun continued: "It is because Your Majesty has pity on him, and there is no in-depth investigation into the transgression. However, the Southern Guard's surveillance of him has never been relaxed, and in the past few months, the Tiger Ben Army, Han Capture Tiger's private guard, has suddenly surfaced, and it has begun to take shape. Several of the Southern Guards' eyeliners in his army were secretly executed by him. For the case of the destruction of the Love Flower Villa and the Meijiazhuang, the Southern Guards secretly investigated and learned that Han Baohu initially used the secret art of the Love Flower to create the Desperate Love Flower and train his Tiger Army, but later, for some reason, he suddenly attacked and destroyed the two villas. It wasn't until Zuo Yulin's army played the emperor that he knew that it was related to his alliance with Tubo and the leak of secrets. ”
At this time, the crown prince Yang Yanchen suddenly left his seat and said to Yang Hengqi: "Father, since Han Baohu's objection has been revealed, please ask my father to quickly issue an order to seize his military power, otherwise with the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, once the time is ripe, collude with Tubo inside and outside, and raise troops at the same time, the southwest will be in danger!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you rashly issue an order to deprive him of his military power, I am afraid that it will accelerate Han Baohu's rebellion! Now the imperial court is unprepared for this, in a hurry, the southwest will be chaotic, if the chaotic army goes out of Jiannan Dao and harms several surrounding provinces, the world will be in chaos, and this matter needs to be cautious!"
Yang Yanchen retorted: "Otherwise, Han Baohu has been revealed, but his division is unknown, and once he raises troops, he will be regarded as a chaotic minister and thief by the world, and he will be unpopular." For today's plan, it is to take advantage of the time when its foundation is not stable, quickly cut through the chaos, and force it to raise troops in a hurry, and the imperial court can lead the troops to enter Rongzhou, Luzhou, and Hezhou with the general of Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road, cut off its military supplies, and show a trend of encirclement, so as to prevent its rebels from going out of Jiannan Road. And the Longyou Dao border soldiers, they can make a big noise to force Tuyuhun and force Tubo to divide their troops, and they can't completely join forces with Han Baohu. The 12 Guards of the Gyeonggi Garrison Forbidden Army, half of which can be transferred out of Gyeonggi Province and across the Jialing River, as the main battle force, will go straight to its old nest Yizhou Mansion. ”
Yang Heng listened to it and showed approval on his face.
Cai Xun added: "It will take time for the town troops of Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road to be mobilized and deployed, so they can inform their general commander in advance, so that they can know about Han Baohu's rebellion, and the transfer of troops must be carried out secretly to prevent Han Baohu from detecting." ”
"Every year in the spring, all the town soldiers have the task of routine defense and training, these two town soldiers can be boldly deployed in the name of this, but there is no hindrance, but the general of Shannan West Road and Qianzhong Road has not been fighting for a long time, and I am afraid that once the war starts, it will be taken by Han Baohu. King Zheng Yang said.
Yang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, I have already told them, and it is okay to keep it." Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault, as long as Han Baohu is not allowed to go out of Jiannan Road. Even if it's their credit. ”
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect that Yang Heng had already made preparations for counterinsurgency in advance.
Cai Xun said: "The emperor expects the enemy first, and he is strategic, and the rebellion of Han Capture Tiger is fearless!"
Yang Heng said: "This time I called all the Qing family to come over, Han Baohu's rebellion is a reason, but it is just a clown who jumps the beam, it is difficult to shake the foundation of my Dajing Dynasty, what the prince just said is very good for the enemy, Cai Xun, you asked the Ministry of War to draw up a charter, and according to Yanchen's intentions, trap Han Baohu in Jiannan." In the 12 guards of Gyeonggi, 150,000 people were transferred to the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, and the left and right military guards, and Dou Jiande, the general of the left and right guard commands, was ordered to be the head of the march, and set off to attack Yizhou Mansion within three days. The matter of money and grain logistics was immediately prepared by the household department. Cai Xun, you personally drafted a document to fight against the people, and sent it to the state capitals, so that the people of the world must know that Han Baohu colluded with foreign countries, brutalized the people, and rebelled. ”
Cai Xun knelt down to receive the order.
Yang Heng said to Li Cun again: "Survival, you personally lead the elite of Nanwei, follow the forbidden army to the front line, and do a good job of spying and collecting enemy information." If Han Baohu really raised an army, many of his subordinates would be coerced into rebellion, and these people should pay attention to division and co-optation, as long as they are not the backbone of the people, they will not be blamed in the past. And for those who are determined to rebel, asking the Southern Guards to assassinate them by cruel means must have a deterrent effect. ”
Li Cunxu also knelt down to receive the order.
Yang Heng made two orders in a row, both of which were arranged in response to Han Yuhu's rebellion, which was comprehensive and strategic, and after he finished speaking, he paused and said to Yang Yanchen: "Yanchen, what do you think is good for dealing with the third prince Yang Yuxing?"
Duan Qianqiu thought to himself: "Does the emperor want to destroy Yang Yuxing, the king of Yue, too?"
Yang Yanchen met Yang Heng's eyes and said calmly: "Although the third brother has a close relationship with Han Baohu, whether he participated in this rebellion remains to be verified. Erchen thinks that the Southern Guards should be sent to investigate this matter strictly, and those who are clear will clean themselves, if there is no one, they will not provoke mosquitoes and flies!"
Yang Heng sneered: "King Yue wants to be strictly investigated. You, the eldest brother, are also stricter with those who are younger brothers, don't end up putting yourself in the East Palace!"
Yang Yanchen saw Yang Heng's face change suddenly, but he didn't know what he was wrong, so he hurriedly knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Father is angry." The sons are just worried about state affairs, if there is a mistake, please ask the father to make it clear, and the sons will correct it. ”
Yang Heng didn't answer him, but only commanded Lu Bangyan: "Lu Bangyan, you will lead Zuo Yulin's army, together with the prince, to go to the Yue Palace, take Yang Yuxing's mansion lock to the heavenly prison and imprison him, there must be no mistake." ”
Yang Yanchen and Lu Bangyan knelt down to receive the order.
At this time, everyone in the hall had a will, but Duan Qianqiu had not yet received any instructions from Yang Heng.
He wondered in his heart: "Does the emperor just want to come here to listen by himself?"
At this time, Yang Heng suddenly sneered and said to Duan Qianqiu: "Duan Qianqiu, you are so bold, you have only been the captain of this Zuo Yulin Army for a few days, and you dare to deceive and bow down, and you still vain the holy will!
Duan Qianqiu knelt down blankly and said, "Weichen really doesn't know where the crime is, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"
The hall was full of surprise, and everyone secretly thought in their hearts: "What's wrong with the emperor today? Could it be that this is the unpredictable power of heaven?"
