If the evil star King Ying comes to Longyou, he is really determined to hold him accountable. Not only will the Li family be plunged into a desperate situation, but the entire family will also be implicated. It's just that now, no matter what I want to do, it's too late. Given the King's unruly character, his in-laws were doomed this time. Even if he were to cross the river, he might not be able to save himself.
Looking at the Privy Councilor, after hearing his words of wanting to be held accountable, his expression changed slightly. There was even cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Suddenly he remembered the relationship between the Longyou Jiedushi and the Privy Councilor Huang Qiong. How can you really not see that to make this privy envoy so nervous, I am afraid that the Jiedushi envoy in Longyou is not as bad as usual.
It's just that I haven't made a conclusion yet until I have investigated clearly. At least for now, before I arrive at Longyou and truly control the overall situation, I'd better not disturb those people for the time being. Otherwise, if the Jiedushi is really pushed to the point of jumping over the wall and the rebels are allowed to enter Longyou, the situation may be even worse by then.
No matter how incompetent or greedy that Jiedushi was, he still had to stabilize him for the time being before he rushed to Longyou. Some people, if you let them go on the battlefield with real swords and guns, they might be so frightened that they wet their pants. But if this kind of person is really driven to the point of jumping over the wall, he may do something else more smoothly than anything else.
This person and the Secret Envoy Hong are still the same as the in-laws of some bullshit. As far as I know, Mr. Hong happens to be the kind of person who doesn't make a clear distinction between public and private matters. No one can guarantee whether it will happen or not. He will reveal some rumors privately to his in-laws. If I want to deal with him now, there is no guarantee that this guy will do something extreme after getting some news.
That Li Jiedu had been working in Longyou for five years. After almost one term of office, no matter how stupid a person is, he may have won over many confidants among the Longyou local guards. Once this guy, I feel like I'm at the end of the road. No one can guarantee whether this guy will fight to the death. Of course, he may not have the guts to start a rebellion.
It is impossible for his subordinates to just follow him. But if he opens the door and greets the robbers, he may not respect himself as a thief. It is even possible to coerce his subordinates and surrender directly to that Tuoba Jiqian. Even if this person is incompetent, his current position is very critical and he is at a critical node. The guards under him were exactly on the route to curb the westward advance of the party members.
If something happens to him, the whole Longyou will be opened wide and the party members will be introduced into Longyou. At that time, not only will the imperial court set up pastoral supervisors in Longyouqun, hundreds of thousands of high-quality war horses will fall into the hands of Dangxiang people, which will greatly increase the combat effectiveness of Dangxiang people. Such a simple consequence. You know, there are still nomadic Dangxiang people in Qingyang and Lintao on the right side of Longnan, and even in the states along the Hexi Corridor.
The Dangxiang Pingxia tribe in Lingzhou has now transformed into a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural tribe. Among Lingzhou parties, the proportion of people engaged in farming and handicrafts is much higher than that of nomadic people. Most of the tribes remaining in the Hexi Corridor are still nomadic. These nomadic tribes are born to be cavalry. If Tuoba were allowed to move into the Hexi Corridor, it would be like adding more power to a tiger.
What's more, if Longyou is in chaos, it will trigger a series of more serious chain reactions. With the Tubo tribes on the banks of Qinghai Lake losing control of Daqi, who can guarantee that there will not be a second Tuoba migration? Once the Longyou Army's retreat is cut off, who can guarantee that the Uighurs, who have retreated outside Yumen Pass for many years, will invade the border again?
Even now Gaochang Uighur is in civil strife. But if they were given the opportunity to stab Da Qi, they would probably pass through without hesitation. During the Anshi Rebellion in the former Tang Dynasty, it was not because the elite Anxi Army was transferred internally to put down the rebellion that Tubo took advantage of the situation and occupied the entire Western Region and the Hexi Corridor, causing the Silk Road to be cut off by the greedy Tubo people.
At that time, even if the heads of Privy Hong's family were taken away, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to make up for the losses that might be caused by his tip-off. There can be no chaos in Longyou, at least not until I get to Longyou. Even if this Longyou Jiedu envoy is incompetent and greedy, at least there is no time to touch him until he takes office. This is the reason for throwing a rat into a trap.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong's expression changed: "However, considering the urgency of Longyou's counterinsurgency this time and the morale of the Longyou local guards. What they have done before, as long as they can cooperate with me to suppress the rebellion, I don’t want to be too pushy about my meritorious deeds. Moreover, my Imperial Guard has been corrupted for a long time, and rectification is not at this moment. The responsibility cannot be placed on one or two people.”
"The focus now is not on Longyou, but on Shaanxi. My lords, I would like to ask you whether you think the governor of Shaanxi Road is qualified for the job. If he is not qualified, then adjust the defense of Shaanxi Road Ambassador, control the guards on the Shaanxi Road and the Xijing camp troops and horses, and set up defenses along Longyou and Shaanxi to intercept the Longyou rebels who may flee eastward. Don't forget, Longyou is connected to the mountains and rivers of northern Shaanxi."
Huang Qiong's words made the envoy Hong, whose heart had been high when he heard that Huang Qiong wanted to investigate the responsibility of Longyou officials, feel a little relieved. I made up my mind and immediately wrote a letter to remind my in-laws that after the British king arrived in Longyou, they would restrain their original behavior and cooperate with the British king to suppress the rebellion. Don’t lose your head and not know it, let alone implicate yourself.
He was a little distracted and didn't listen to Huang Qiong's subsequent questions. The Minister of the Ministry of War, who was sitting on his side, saw that this man was a little distracted. He also knew clearly the relationship between him and the current Li Jiedu of Longyou. He also knew that Li Jiedu could sit on the throne known as the best in the world. The fat Jiedu envoy of Longyou, the man in front of him can be said to have put in a lot of effort.
If this cruel and ruthless King of England was determined to punish Li Jiedu, he, the Privy Councilor, might also be implicated. At that time, whether he, the Privy Councilor, can continue to do so will be a small matter. Whether the whole family's heads can be saved is a big deal. Who is this King of England? In Zhengzhou, he killed more than a hundred officials in one go, and no one showed any mercy.
Now the Holy Family is in full swing again, and he has almost become the emperor's designated heir. Even though he is a high-ranking official, it is easy to take off the official hat on his head. If nothing else, just focus on the talent he recommended. How could Li Jiedu, the Minister of War in charge of the local guards, really not know anything about Li Jiedu's style in Longyou?
Last year's statue, which was half a man tall and made of high-grade Hetian white jade, carved a longevity star. Now I'm afraid this guy feels his hands are not as hot as usual. Haha, the King of England said that he would not pursue matters in the past. But after arriving in Longyou, the British king really turned his back and killed Longyou officials, thoroughly investigating the local officials for their negligence.
Not to mention your in-laws who only have a few thousand guards at their disposal and are incompetent themselves. If the King of England really planned to liquidate him, he might not even have the ability to resist. Even if you are a Privy Councilor with a civil servant background, even though you are a dignified and first-class official, what can you do to others? Will the emperor go after his own son for the sake of you and your in-laws who are not clean? ?
What's more, this son is still the heir he selected despite all opinions? However, even though I knew about this secret envoy Hong, I was afraid of something at this moment. But this Minister of the Ministry of War, who is also a human sperm, adheres to the idea of seeing through but not telling the truth. In response to Huang Qiong's question, when Privy Councilor Hong was distracted, he pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"The King of England, Shaanxi Road Governor Ouyang Jie, although he is also a veteran, he can be considered to be accustomed to fighting. But since last year, his health and bones have been in poor condition. He had originally asked for an official position many times, but The emperor doesn't know why, but he has never agreed. As for the Shaanxi Roadside Army Defense Ambassador, in my opinion, it is better not to transfer it for the time being."
"Although the direction of Shaanxi Road is not the main target of Bei Liao's seclusion, who can guarantee that Bei Liao will not take advantage of our government. Now there is a rebellion in Longyou and go south. In order to contain our military strength in the northwest and let the rebels grow bigger, Let me mess with Chao Zi and create opportunities for him to go south to herd horses in the Central Plains? And there is another very crucial point. Yan'an Prefecture governs the four counties of Jingbian, Yin, Sui, and Rulin."
"In addition to the two Zhili prefectures of Yanzhou and Suizhou under the direct jurisdiction of Shaanxi Road, they were originally the hometowns of the Dingnan Army. Among them, the current Jingbian County was established by the former Xia Prefecture after the Ding Dynasty established the world. And the original Xia Prefecture Xiazhou is the birthplace of Dangxiang Pingxia tribe. His ancestor Tuoba Sigong made his fortune in Xiazhou. Xiazhou was the birthplace of the Dingnan Army Jiedu, which had jurisdiction over five states."
"That Tuoba continued to move, and he kept saying that he wanted to restore the glory of Dangxiang's ancestors. The veteran thought that he was moving eastward in order to find and seize Yinzhou, Youzhou, Jingbian and Rulin counties, Suizhou and Yanzhou under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture. Erzhili Prefecture is probably imperative. Maybe, its current offensive towards Qingyang Mansion is just a false shot. The real intention is to focus on the northern part of Shaanxi Road.
"Your Majesty, from what I have seen, the defense of the North cannot be reduced at present, but must be heightened. Therefore, I think it is best for the army on the roadside in Shaanxi not to move. If the prince thinks that the Xijing camp does not have enough troops, he can bring some from the capital. Soldiers and horses. Since Master Hong just recommended the commander of the Ruijian Camp as the deputy envoy, the veteran thought that some of the troops and horses of the Ruijian Camp could be transferred."
"As for whether Mr. Liu Lu, the governor of Shaanxi Road, is qualified for the job. Your Majesty, please rest assured that although this person is a bit older, he will be serving as an official next year. Let him charge into the battle, and he may not be able to do what he wants. But if he is allowed to sit in Shaanxi There is absolutely nothing wrong with this person if the North dispatches troops to pursue and intercept the rebels and prevent them from entering the Shaanxi Road. For this, I can use the head on my head as a guarantee."
Huang Qiong nodded slightly at the words of the Minister of War, but he didn't have time to speak yet. Outside the study room, the old man's voice came: "Ajiu, you still have a lot to learn. Master Wei's words are just the words of an old man to plan for the country. But I think it is not necessary to mobilize Rui Jianying. Yu Lin The Eighth Army has not left the capital for many years, and they have developed a group of young masters."
"In addition to the ceremonial guards, I am afraid that even the battle formations are unfamiliar. In my opinion, if there is any shortage of troops in Longyou's counterinsurgency this time, I will select them from the eight Yulin armies. As for the defense of the capital, I It seems that the Xiaoqi Battalion will take over. The Xiaoqi Battalion is a personal soldier that Ah Jiu has personally led, and it is also an elite field force of the imperial court. I can still trust it."
Obviously outside, the old man who had been listening for a while was accompanied by King Yong and King Song. As he walked into the study, he signaled that after hearing his voice, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to several people. After sitting down, he glanced at Huang Qiong's study room, picked up a book seemingly casually and flipped through it, then said: "Now that the important matter has been decided, let's seize the time to prepare for the dispatch of troops."
