As soon as Xi Zhicai finished speaking, the general Zhang Xian next to him frowned and said: "Our army and the Tang army have been fighting in Luoyang for more than a year, and Zhu Yuanzhang has never sent troops. Now that the prince of Changping County has captured Hongnong, the Tang army is gone. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang Will we send troops?"
"meeting!"
Chen Ping also slowly said: "Only by dragging the main forces of our army and the Tang army in Luoyang, Hebei will not be disturbed by the flames of war and can continue to restore its strength with peace of mind. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not send troops before was because the Tang army and our army were equally powerful. He did not have this It is necessary to clear this muddy water. But now the situation has changed. In order to continue the confrontation in Luoyang, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely raise troops and go south."
Xi Zhicai continued: "Moreover, now that the Turks and Jurchens are invading the south, Luo Yi in Youzhou has lost consecutive battles and is trapped in Zhuojun. It can no longer play any role in containing Hebei. Zhu Yuanzhang has no worries and can even go south. .”
At this time, the old general Yang Lin strode out of the queue and asked for orders loudly: "Your Majesty, I am not talented. I am willing to send a group of elite troops to support nephew Yang Yexian!"
There were not many members of the imperial clan in the Sui Dynasty. In the past few years, many people had died in the chaos of the empire. As the most senior member of the clan, Yang Lin did not want any more casualties among the clan members. What's more, Yang Ye, who is stationed in Xingyang, is about the same age as him. Although they are uncle and nephew in terms of seniority, because of their similar personalities, they usually have a close personal relationship, like brothers.
"Report, Your Majesty, Hebei Jinyiwei has sent urgent military information!" At this moment, the voice of Jinyiwei commander Zhan Zhao suddenly sounded outside the imperial tent.
"The military situation in Hebei?" Yang Gao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, then smiled slightly, scanned the crowd in the tent, and said: "It's the right time, Commander Zhan, come in!"
"yes!"
Zhan Zhao immediately stepped into the tent and presented the information in his hand.
Yang Gao took the piece of silk paper and read the information sent back from Hebei at a glance. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, great! God bless you, God helps the Sui Dynasty!"
All the civil and military ministers under the tent couldn't help but be curious when they saw this. After a long while, Chen Ping bravely asked: "Your Majesty, what makes you so happy?"
"Good news, I don't think the Emperor Tai Huang will lead the army to Xingyang anymore!" Yang Gao raised the information in his hand and said: "On the sixth day of this month, Yuan Chu from Bohai (that is, Yuan Shao who was born in chaos) brazenly killed the man appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Bohai Governor Li Ping, who called himself General Kuangfu, gathered a hundred thousand people to rebel. Hejian, Boling and other places responded one after another. Liu Heitai, who was originally defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, also seized the opportunity to make a comeback. Now the whole of Hebei is The chaos has turned into a pot of porridge, and Zhu Yuanzhang was busy quelling the rebellion under his rule and had no time to divide his troops and go south."
Xi Zhicai was a cautious man, and he immediately said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this? Hebei has experienced many years of war, and the bandit leaders such as Ge Qian, Zhang Jincheng, Sun Xuanya, and Gao Shida who rebelled in the early years were all brutal. If you are unkind, the people will suffer from it.
After Dou Jiande was captured two years ago, because he had no children, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Heitai restarted the war in order to seize power, and they fought fiercely for more than half a year.
Now Hebei has finally calmed down the war, and the people are calm. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very capable. How could there be such a big rebellion under his rule in such a short period of time? "
Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "I also admit that Zhu Yuanzhang has the qualifications to be a hero, but it is a pity that this person comes from a humble background and is not recognized by the nobles in Hebei. And this Yuan Chu is the son-in-law of the Bohai Gao family, so this rebellion is very likely In 1989, the powerful nobles of Hebei were working behind the scenes, with the purpose of overthrowing Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a grassroots family, and supporting Yuan Chu, who was born in an aristocratic family, to take the throne."
"This Yuan Chu should be Yuan Shao who broke in and out last time. I remember that the identity implanted in him by the system at that time was that of a descendant of an aristocratic family who was planning to plot a rebellion because he looked down on Zhu Yuanzhang's origin, so this matter should be credible!" But this one! The reasons can only be used as the basis for Yang Gao's own judgment, and they can never be stated in the big account for the reference of other civil and military ministers.
"Your Majesty, I thought it would be better to send a group of capable scouts to Hebei to find out the news just in case." I have to say that Xi Zhicai was really cautious, even though after listening to Yang Gao's analysis, he felt that what he said was reasonable. , but he still suggested sending someone to Hebei for verification.
Liu Bowen also spoke to support Xi Zhicai and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it doesn't hurt to be careful. This matter is of great importance, so we need to be more cautious!"
After listening to the words of the two counselors, Yang Gao thought about it and felt that he was a little too trusting.
Although the identity implanted into Yuan Shao by the system was that of a descendant of a family who conspired to rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was far more capable than Yuan Shao. If he discovered Yuan Shao's actions in advance, he would quickly attack and eliminate Yuan Shao. At the same time, he discovered the headquarters of Jinyiwei in Hebei, and then destroyed the headquarters of Jinyiwei and took the opportunity to use Jinyiwei's contact channels to release false news to confuse the public.
The possibility of this is indeed very small, but it does not mean that it is absolutely impossible. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's ability is there. As the only founding emperor in history who conquered the south and unified the country, establishing a dynasty that lasted for nearly three hundred years, he cannot be taken lightly no matter when or where.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Gao nodded and agreed to the suggestions of Xi Zhicai and Liu Bowen, ordered Xue Rengui to quickly transfer a group of capable scouts from the army to go north, and ordered Zhan Zhao to contact Hebei Jinyiwei.
. . . . . . . . . .
Twenty days later, the scouts sent to Hebei to inquire about the news also sent back a pigeon message, proving that Hebei was indeed in chaos. The three forces of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Heitai, and Yuan Chu were fighting fiercely, and Hebei was full of people fleeing. .
After the news came back this time, all the civil and military ministers no longer doubted the authenticity of the civil strife in Hebei. They all congratulated Yang Gao with their hands and shouted God's blessing and God's help in the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Gao smiled slightly and said: "I thought that all these rebellious traitors would only cause trouble for me. I didn't expect that among them there was also a wonderful person like Yuan Chu who was considerate of me. If it weren't for him, I and all the ministers would have been very unhappy. We will soon be trapped in a two-front battle."
Everyone in the tent laughed loudly when they heard this and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. This Yuan Chu is really a considerate and good man!"
After a while, Yang Gao put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "The war in Hebei has resumed. I estimate that the people in Hebei are likely to flee south in large numbers. I sent an order to Xingyang and Dongping counties to prepare food, Tent, ready to help refugees fleeing from Hebei. In addition, after informing the Tang Army of Hulao Pass about this matter, I want to see if Li Shimin can continue to fight with me after learning about this matter?"
All the civil and military ministers raised their hands and said: "I obey the order!"
