No matter what kind of evil these two guys are holding back in their current calmness, bringing Liu Hu back is undoubtedly the right choice. With Liu Hu's unshakable character, he is a master of Shaolin Kung Fu. Coupled with Duan Jin's vision, Duan Jin and Wu Ziyu's intelligence and resourcefulness, Situ Huanshuang's cleverness, and He Yao's meticulous thinking, the safety of the mansion should generally be no problem.
It's not that Huang Qiong is still thinking about the trivial things at home when he is about to go off to fight for his country. Put family affairs before national affairs in your heart, and put your small family before everyone else. But a ruthless person may not be a true hero. How can a pity child not be a husband? If you don’t sweep one house, how can you sweep the world? I am away on an expedition and my family is not well settled. If there is a fire in the backyard, how can I calmly quell the rebellion if I am in the front?
After writing the warrant for Liu Hu, Huang Qiong did not make any delay. As soon as possible, they sent someone 800 miles away to Zhengzhou. Just thinking of Wu Ziyu after sending the letter away, Huang Qiong sighed slightly. In the situation where she couldn't have her cake and eat it too, she still failed Sister Yu after all. Now that Liu Hu comes back, it will be inconvenient for him to meet her.
Huang Qiong originally wanted to bring Wu Ziyu over for a while, but then he remembered that the old man had already issued an imperial edict, asking the Minister of War and the Privy Council to come to his house to discuss Longyou's counterinsurgency. Those elders are probably coming soon. If they put aside their business and go to make love with Wu Ziyu, wouldn't they become the successors of the Northern Qi Dynasty's little pity and jade body, who wanted to repay Master Zhou for entering Jinyang? ?
The name of this dynasty is also Qi. Although they are not of the same origin as the Northern Qi founded by the Gao family, they are still the same name anyway. I can't learn from that Empress of Qi. After thousands of years of separation, let someone put myself alongside the Empress of Qi, and then create a list of faint kings with Qi as the country's name. For now, the most important thing is state affairs. As for making out, we can only wait until night.
Huang Qiong's guess was correct. He had just given up the idea of going to Wu Ziyu to make out, and it was not even a cup of tea. Several adults had already hurried over. In fact, the troops transferred this time are all soldiers from the Xijing camp. The capital side only needs to go through the relevant troop transfer procedures. The key points are two points, one is to coordinate the transportation of grain and grass supplies, and the other is to select deputy envoys to command operations.
Troop transfer procedures, because the old man had issued an imperial edict before Huang Qiong left. Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council had already fulfilled their duties before coming to the British Palace. The imperial edict to mobilize troops has been dispatched to Chang'an, the western capital, eight hundred miles away. The most critical thing now is the selection of deputy envoys. This is the top priority of this counterinsurgency.
A pack of wolves led by a lion can defeat a pack of lions led by a wolf. The courage of a general is the soul of a general, and soldiers are the soul of a general. Even good soldiers must be led by people. In a decisive battle, the ability to command the army is crucial. A good general can turn a group of weak chickens into a group of lions. No matter how good the army is given to a general who gives random directions on the battlefield, it will only be a waste.
Just like Huang Qiong participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass, he still does not think that he has the ability to command an army of 500 people to fight. That's why he was so cautious in selecting the deputy envoy responsible for specific military affairs this time. Because in his opinion, Tuoba Jiqian who dared to rebel was at least far more capable than his idiot cousin in Zhengzhou.
In just a few days, he was able to gather together a bunch of scattered party members and sweep the entire Ningxia Mansion, which is enough to show that this person is very capable. Facing such an opponent who is extremely likely to be loud, cunning, and all in one. In Huang Qiong's view, the deputy envoy who is responsible for the specific command of operations must be cautious in choosing one.
Looking at the Privy Councilor sitting in front of him, who was drinking tea, Huang Qiong decided to let him recommend someone first even though he already had a default candidate in mind. The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs across the country, and the Four Camps and the Xijing Camp are under its direct control. As a Privy Councilor who has served for five years, he should be aware of the capabilities of military attachés at all levels.
The Privy Councilor was not vague about Huang Qiong's request. He directly recommended He Yuanfeng, the commander of Ruijian Camp. The year before last, this person had been transferred from the post of commander-in-chief of Zuoying, the former army of Xijing Camp, to Ruijianying, as commander-in-chief. This person had been in the frontier army for a full ten years and had grown up from his tenure in the Longyou Army. From a gang leader to today, he is a third-grade official.
The most important thing is that he was still in the frontier army of Dingyuan Prefecture, serving as a fourth-grade defense envoy for seven years, and he was very familiar with the geography and people's conditions of Ningxia Prefecture. This person once served in Dingyuan Prefecture and was assigned to the former Jin Jiedushi of Henan Road who had now lost his head and went deep into the hinterland of Northern Liao Dynasty. And as a forward, after going deep into the hinterland of Beiliao, he opened the way for the army all the way.
That Jin Jiedu was able to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Northern Liao and achieve such great results, this person can be said to have contributed most, or even half of the credit. This man is particularly good at using cavalry to maneuver and set up ambushes, and he can also fight tough battles when necessary. In the most critical battle of Jin Jiedu's Northern Expedition, this man led 3,000 cavalrymen and took the lead in defeating more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the Northern Liao Dynasty, and then achieved the final victory.
Although in that battle, the real elite Pishi army of Northern Liao were all led by Emperor Liao, and they were in a stalemate with the defenders outside Yanshan Mansion. The more than 10,000 Northern Liao cavalrymen were just hastily gathered young nomadic tribesmen. But having the courage to use three thousand cavalry to fight against an enemy who is far more familiar with geography than himself in terms of numbers and geographical familiarity is enough to show that this person is the kind of person who dares to fight and fight hard on the battlefield.
Although this person is slightly older, he is still in his fifties, which can be said to be in his prime. The only shortcoming of this person is that he has never been a head coach. Although he has fought many wars and fierce battles over the years, his body is covered with scars. But after reaching the fourth level, he was either a forward or a deputy. When he served as a defense envoy in Dingyuan Prefecture, he only led two thousand border troops.
His experience in commanding the overall situation is slightly less, which may be his biggest shortcoming. However, this depends on how Huang Qiong, the commander-in-chief of both restraint and civil and military officials, is used. After all, you, the system ambassador, are the one who truly coordinates the overall situation. In fact, what this privy envoy really wants to recommend is Mr. He who is currently serving as Shanxi Jiedushi and is busy suppressing the rebellion on Shanxi Road. That is the real veteran.
It's just Shanxi's counterinsurgency, although the overall situation is not bad. But after all, there is still a long way to go before we can truly close our mouths. And changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists, so he settled for the next best thing and recommended this veteran general who was nearly sixty years old. Although he is a little older, he is still experienced in many battles. He is also a military attache who grew up in Dingyuan Prefecture under Ningxia Prefecture, and has obvious advantages.
Huang Qiong was slightly startled when he heard the person mentioned by the Privy Councilor. This Gao Yuanfeng was none other than one of the old men in the list that his mother had given him. His grandfather was still in the army. To be precise, he was still leading the army. Although this person is not his original candidate, judging from this person's experience, he is more suitable than his original candidate.
However, although this person is said to be Grandpa's old subordinate, he may not really be convinced by him. People's hearts are changing all the time. Who can guarantee that this person will always stay in the army? Although his promotion has been slightly affected, as a general of civilian origin, his promotion is not slow in fact. He will be where he is today. Not by betraying something or someone?
As for his choice of this person, would the old man be worried that he has contacted his old Huaiyang department again? Huang Qiong doesn't think much of it now. Now that the old man has made a decision about certain things. To doubt this again only means that he is bored. Even if the old man is suspicious, his mother will naturally help comfort him in this matter.
Thinking of this, it is out of necessity to be on guard against others. Although Huang Qiong recognized this candidate in his heart, he was still somewhat hesitant. However, Huang Qiong's hesitation was still quite short-lived. Considering the special nature of Longyou's counterinsurgency, Huang Qiong finally nodded and wrote a handwritten letter to mediate the situation on the desk.
After asking the Privy Councilor and the Minister of War to add their names on the spot, they jointly sent it to Ruijian Camp stationed in Xin'an. The commander of Gaodu was asked to rush back to the capital immediately. Send someone to send this transfer order away. As for Huang Qiong's direct instruction to transfer people, even if everyone knew that the British king did this, he must have been authorized by the emperor. But the senior officials present here were still speechless.
From the time when the deposed prince was established as the crown prince, to when the deposed prince was finally deposed as the crown prince. Over the past few years, the deposed prince has not even touched the slightest edge of military power. As long as there was even a slight contact, the emperor would be reprimanded at best, or grounded for several days at worst. But now the King of England mobilized a third-grade military attache, but he only issued a handwriting. It can almost be said that it was not an ordinary understatement.
As for the deposed prince who was not allowed to have any contact with him other than his own bodyguards, he was not even allowed to have contact with a seventh-grade military attache. Such rights have always been elusive. Such a right was something that the deposed prince had dreamed of for many years, but he could not obtain it and had never obtained it. The deposed prince at that time did not have the right to mobilize an eighth-grade military attaché, let alone a third-grade military attaché.
Even if you want to transfer a civil servant, you must ask for an order if you are above the fourth rank. Not to mention, the memorials that the emperor now reviews every day. Except for the Privy Council, the Palace Department, and a few excerpts from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, almost most of them were ghostwritten by the British king in front of me. In the past, the king of England also took care of the affairs of the emperor when he received foreign ministers from the imperial court, officials from other places who came to Beijing to meet the emperor or who were transferred to the capital.
Not to mention officials at the state level, even at the pacification envoy level, the British king received them on his behalf. They even heard that the emperor was going to receive military attachés such as the Jiedushi Envoy, the Military and Horse Envoy, and the Border Army Defense Ambassador. This kind of thing was something that the prince would never dare to think about before, let alone other princes. They also planned to give it to them. This King of England. It was only when the British king refused to agree that he gave up.
The only difference between the current King of England and the emperor is that he does not have the right to replace several prime ministers of the three provinces and six ministries, the ministers of the six ministries, the censor of Zuodu in Yushitai, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, as well as the chief and deputy privy envoys, and the ministers in front of the palace. Several of them are in command, just such first-class officials. And when the British king comes back from suppressing the rebellion, who knows how many rights the emperor will grant?
Since the founding of the First Emperor, apart from those princes who have emptied themselves out of themselves, such as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty after the Xuanwumen Incident, no other prince in any dynasty or generation has been granted such great rights by the emperor. Not to mention, although the current prince has the name and honor of being a prince, he does not have the title of prince yet. He is still just a prince with the title of prince.
Judging from the current speed of the emperor's delegation of power to the British king, it is possible that the British king rebelled from Longyouping and returned to the court. As long as he did not suffer a major defeat, I am afraid that it would be natural to turn into a formal prince. Thinking of this, these officials who knew that the King of England was not easy to fool, and who had been very respectful since entering the King's Palace, became even more respectful.
