Chapter 56: Here comes the opportunity
Mrs. Anguo is very trustworthy, she really let the emperor issue a holy decree, counting the various crimes of trespassing and bribery of the current Jiedu envoy of Henan Province, and finally ordered the investigation and prosecution of the post, and appointed Qiu Ci, the current inspector of Henan Province, to take over the post of Henan Jiedu envoy.
The holy decree has not yet arrived in the state capital of Henan Province, and there has been a bloody storm between the state capitals of Henan Province, and the current Jiedu envoy immediately raised troops, wanting to control all the Qiu Shiliang family, but he did not expect Qiu Ci to take the first step and kill the current Jiedu envoy's family, and sent troops to hunt down and kill the relatives of the nine clans in other Henan provinces, and killed them one by one.
After Ji'er launched a comprehensive purge in Henan officialdom, all non-enemy factions were cleared, released or killed, and a month later, Henan Province was completely under the control of the enemy.
This incident shook the government and the opposition, and there were many local officials who were sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, and they wrote to the court to talk about the practice of nuclear hatred, but what people didn't expect was that this time Mrs. Anguo and the newly enthroned Xuanzong unexpectedly did not speak out.
After the rumors passed, Qiu Shiliang skillfully made arrangements and transported all his cronies and important materials to Henan Province, and then asked the emperor to resign and return to his hometown.
On the top of the main hall, Qiu Shiliang wept bitterly, counting his loyalty to three generations of emperors, and his life of working in the sect, thanking the royal family for his great kindness to him and his family.
Li Deyu, who was standing on the side, really wanted to go up and pull out his skin, but this could only be just thought.
He and Qiu Shiliang are the biggest eunuch leaders in the palace, and this time Qiu Shiliang emptied most of his belongings, and eight out of ten generals of the Shence Army ran away with Qiu Shiliang.
Only left him with an empty shelf, and it is estimated that he will not have a good time in the future, but fortunately, the little emperor and Mrs. An Guo still trust him very much at present.
After Qiu Shiliang cried, the little emperor was also very moved, and gave him the title of loyal and virtuous eunuch in court, and rewarded him with countless gold and silver.
In addition, in view of the tight defense of Hebei, Qiu Shiliang was specially appointed as the supervisor of the army, and when he returned to his hometown, he brought the Shence army to Henan and handed it over to the command of the Henan Jiedu envoy.
On the day Qiu Shiliang left the palace, more than 40,000 people were transferred to Henan Province with Qiu Shiliang, and a long queue of black pressure was lined up outside the south gate of Chang'an.
When the news came out of Chang'an, most officials understood what kind of deal Mrs. Anguo and Qiu Shiliang had made.
From now on, Henan Dao is really a country within a country, and on the surface it is still under the jurisdiction of the court, but in fact, it will no longer be ordered by the court.
There are many people who praise this woman is really not simple, several generations of kings have not solved the problem of eunuch disorder, she solved it like this, I have to admire.
But there are also people sighing, Yu Cheng, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, is one of them, when he talked to Yu Jintang about this matter after the meal, he said slowly: "Mrs. Anguo is still too anxious, although this solves the problem in the palace, but it has made a bad start, I am afraid that it will cause a bigger problem in the future, and it is not something that the court can bear."
Yu Jintang thought about it, and understood what his father meant, he replied: "I'm afraid that many people are thinking about this, but they haven't gone too far.
Yu Cheng looked at him, drank a glass of wine and said: "Daddy is old, in the future, Hexi still wants you to carry this burden, everything must be thought about before and after, and you must not be in a hurry."
At this time, in the Fengyang Pavilion, Wu Xiao sat down, Mrs. An Guo looked tired, holding her forehead with her hand, thinking about something.
After a while, she raised her head and said, "It's still not good, you can bear with it and kill him halfway, it's too obvious, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash"
"But once Qiu Shiliang enters Henan Dao, he wants to find another opportunity to kill him, but it will be difficult," Wu Xiao said
"I know you are eager for revenge, but now the timing is too delicate, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the foundation is not stable, so you can't take this risk," Mrs. An Guo said
She raised her head and looked directly at Wu Xiao, and then said slowly: "Wu Xiao, as long as I am here, there will be a chance in the future."
Wu Xiao also looked at her, and finally lowered his head, and said after a long time: "Okay, let his head be for a long time"
Mrs. Anguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that she couldn't control him, now that the 20,000 cavalry in Mobei were stationed in Ningzhou, and if they really fought, with Wu Xiao's ability to lead the troops, it was estimated that the Shence Army was not necessarily an opponent.
The wind rustled through the artemisia grass on the hill, and on the official road in the distance was a long marching procession, and huge pennants were waving in the wind.
Wu Xiao and Yan Nu rode horses and stood on top of the hill and looked down, their enemies were so close to them for the first time, the opportunity came, but it was just the opportunity to come.
"Yan Nu, one day, they will die at our hands," Wu Xiao said
Yan Nu turned her head and watched Wu Xiao's messy hair flying in the air, the delicate and firm bridge of her nose shimmering in the setting sun, her pale hand clenching the long knife at her side, and the dark blue cloak rattling fiercely on the horseback.
Yan Nu looked a little stunned, forgetting what Wu Xiao had just said, and it wasn't until Wu Xiao turned her head to look at her that she nodded habitually.
In fact, she doesn't care about revenge, this matter is just a mission in his cognition, she must complete it, if she is allowed to do it, she will not hesitate to cut the throat of the enemy, but that's all, she has killed too many people, there is no difference between one more and one less.
What she really cared about was Wu Xiao, from the moment she walked with this man who was still a teenager, but he never seemed to feel it.
Just when Wu Xiao felt sorry, another incident happened that made him have to put down this idea for the time being.
Mobei sent a report of intensifying the war, and the five Turkic tribes united an army of 50,000 to once again attack outside Fengzhou.
Wu Xiao hurriedly bid farewell to Mrs. Anguo, took 20,000 elite cavalry from Ningzhou, and rushed back to Changzhou City for a day and a night.
The Military Administration Yuan sent the latest battle report, and the Turkic soldiers fought tentatively with the defenders of Fengzhou, regardless of victory or defeat, but fortunately, the defenders stationed on the front line of Fengzhou on weekdays were relatively sufficient, and the Turkic army did not dare to advance.
"It seems that the plan we talked about last time for the Turks will be changed," Li Mao said
"No, I was still hesitating, but now they are coming to attack with a coalition army, but they have given us a chance," Wu Xiao said
Li Mao was a little puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"
"You have to subdue them first, and then be good friends with them," Wu Xiao said with a smile
"What does this mean, but I don't understand" Li Mao wondered
"You Wenchen won't understand this truth," Wu Xiao said
"Immediately assemble the Black Cavalry Battalion and the Yong Cavalry Battalion, and the whole army will follow me straight to the grassland" Wu Xiao stood up and ordered sharply
All the commanders of the cavalry battalions stood up and shouted: "Order"
At dawn on the third day, when the Turkic army of 50,000 troops was once again outside the city of Fengzhou, before the horse team quieted down, the three gates of Fengzhou City were opened, and three cavalry erupted from the city.
Behind him were fourteen black arrows, three of which were on the general's left and right, and the others were scattered on both sides, shooting side by side towards the Turkic camp.
The Turkic army is still led by Gechila, he has been resentful since the last defeat, under his strong instigation, the Turkic Great Khan finally decided to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty when the little emperor was not firmly established, raided again, and wanted to break through the Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop.
Gechila led 50,000 troops first, and then sent reinforcements.
"What is this little hairy boy going to do, does he want to assault our Turkic cavalry head-on?" said Gechila, as if to others, as if to himself.
"This is completely different from the way he played last time?" he asked the army next to him, a little confused
I don't know why the Han people joined the army, so they can only say: "The soldiers are changeable."
Gechira looked at him, kicked him off his horse, and said, "What's the use of you?"
He looked at the formation of the Tang army in the distance again, learned the lesson of the last time he underestimated the enemy, and shouted in Turkic: "Collect the whole army and assault forward"
