The Xijing Camp and the Four Camps, which are said to have never been defeated in more than a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, can ignore these more than 100,000 elite soldiers. So, is there anything else in this Great Qi Dynasty that can make those ambitious guys afraid? Some people who are still secretly ambitious at the moment will find it difficult to suppress their ambitions once they are hidden, and they will no longer have any taboos in their actions.
The so-called pulling one hair affects the whole body is exactly the same principle. The battle situation in Longyou seems to be limited to a corner of the world, and it is far away from the heart of the Qi Dynasty. But the success or failure of Longyou's battle has a great impact on the overall situation. Others don't know, maybe my fake father-in-law is secretly watching the battle in Longyou, waiting for him to lose the battle.
Huang Qiong has been very clear about this since he took on this errand. The current Longyou is a point, a leverage point that may directly push this dynasty into the abyss. Because after Huang Qiong took over this job, he had a vague feeling that this rebellion was not simple. People always feel that there is a certain vague connection with the civil uprising in Shanxi.
Without him, the Shanxi and Longyou Second Roads are geographically at an angle, which will be very important to the imperial court. It can be said that they must be attacked to save them. Once something abnormal occurs, the Shaanxi Road will definitely use the power of the whole country to embrace it. . Especially the Longyou Road. After the decline of the Tang Dynasty, most of the Tubo invaders invaded Shaanxi from Longyou. The Uighurs also entered Shaanxi from Longyou more than once.
Shanxi and Shaanxi are separated only by the Yellow River. Historically, there were only three ferries from the mountains to Shaanxi. There are three ferry crossings: Fenglingdu, Longmendu and Pujindu. Except that Fenglingdu needs to attack Tongguan, which is relatively difficult. Among them, Longmen Ferry, as long as you cross the Yellow River and go not far along the bank of the Yellow River, you will reach the Guanzhong Plain where there is no danger to defend. The most important thing is that the ferry here is too narrow, only less than ten feet. In the winter of the past two or three years, ice has even appeared, making it extremely easy for the army to cross the river.
As long as we capture Hancheng on the Shaanxi Road side, we can sweep the entire Guanzhong Plain at any time. After Pujin crossed the river, it was an undefeable plain until Beiluoshui. During the Warring States Period, Wu Qi followed this route when he conquered Qin. Crossing the Yellow River from Longmendu, with 50,000 Wei warriors, he defeated Qin's 500,000-strong army in Yin and Jin. As a result, the Qin State could only retreat along the North Luoshui River and build cities to defend it.
Although it is a little more difficult to travel from Shanxi to Shaanxi, it does not mean it is impossible. What's more, the area where a large-scale civil commotion broke out on Shanxi Road this time is in the southern area of Shanxi Road where the three ferries are most concentrated. The rebel area even reached Pingyang Mansion, which is adjacent to Fenglingdu. The location of this Longyou rebellion is even more coincidental. It is in Ningxia Prefecture, which is connected to the mountains and rivers of northern Shaanxi.
Moreover, it happened at the time when the Shanxi Road rebels were at the end of their rope. If there is no connection between them, then there really is something wrong. Although this rebellion gave people the feeling of being carefully planned, Huang Qiong felt somewhat hasty. If Tuoba Jiqian was really so well-prepared, he would never have been forced to go to the Fan family to buy food, nor would he have failed to capture even the Qingyang Mansion.
Although it rained some time ago. But the current drought situation in Longyou is far from being completely alleviated. He was in trouble at this time, and the food problem was the biggest headache for him. Judging from the fact that this guy would rather spend a large amount of real money to buy food from the Fan family after the uprising, he would also train the army first. It is obvious that he did not start the uprising to become a rogue bandit.
Although the so-called restoration of the glory of the party is to make excuses for himself to gain territory, at least it is serious to him. But he happened to start the incident at the most unsuitable time, which is very abnormal. There is a food shortage in Longyou. At this time, apart from being able to attract a large number of refugees in a short period of time to increase his momentum, it is not a good time for him who does not want to be a rogue bandit.
You know, even in a good year, Ningxia Mansion still needs to purchase a large amount of food from outside. At present, the drought in Longyou has not been completely alleviated. If he cannot find a large amount of food sources in a short period of time, his team will gather as fast as they disperse. Everyone knows that if you don't have food, you can't gather troops. Even if he wants to rebel, he should wait until a month or two later.
Even if some of the autumn grain replanted in Longyou comes down, it will be difficult for things to happen again. Tuoba Jiqian has endured it for so many years, so does he still have one or two months left? Now that I think about it, it’s definitely not bad. His ambitions have not been exposed, and even Nanzhen Fusi has not been able to find out some of his secret activities. In other words, it is far from time to have to fight back.
At this time, if he is ahead of schedule, it can only be because someone is pushing him from behind. They even diverted the court's attention to buy some time for the Shanxi rebels to breathe a sigh of relief. Although Huang Qiong's journey was full of starry nights, it didn't mean that he wasn't thinking. In fact, Huang Qiong's mind never stopped thinking about it while riding on the horse. But after coming all the way to figure out this result, Huang Qiong himself was a little surprised.
Huang Qiong once thought that the conclusion he came to was because he was a little suspicious. After all, if things develop as I imagined, then the man behind the scenes is not very capable, and it also requires huge financial resources. It can make people rebel with their heads and not give enough benefits to ordinary people, even a tyrant like Tuoba Jiqian must weigh and weigh.
But as he got closer to Chang'an, Huang Qiong felt that this idea became stronger in his mind. The closer he got to Chang'an, the more Huang Qiong felt that his judgment was not due to his own suspicion. But Huang Qiong has never guessed who the person behind the scenes is, whether it is the missing King of Shu or someone else who wants to muddy the water to make it easier for him to fish.
And Huang Qiong didn't even know what the purpose of the man behind the scenes was for doing so many things? By setting off rebellions one after another, the court exhausted its financial, material and even national power in order to suppress the rebellions. Let the four major battalions and the Xijing camp, more than 200,000 people, the most elite troops of the imperial court, be exhausted and move around to fight and exhaust their vitality while suppressing the rebellion?
In order to create the most favorable opportunity when he launches a rebellion in the near future? Or is there some other purpose? And since Huang Qiong came out of Jingzhao, no matter how much he thought about it, no matter how many times he thought about it, he felt that the rebellion in Longyou, whether it was the court or himself, was like slipping into a preset, unknown situation. It was the same trap that had been prepared for many years.
In recent years, the imperial court's annual revenue has been insufficient, and it has been unable to make ends meet almost every year. Even though I had worked hard to save some money in the first half of the year. But that limited amount of money and food simply cannot withstand a few twists and turns. Once the limited amount of money and food is available, it is completely gone. If there is another rebellion, I'm afraid the imperial court won't even be able to come up with the money to gather troops to put down the rebellion.
Not to mention that the local guards are no longer of use. This kind of exhaustion has damaged the limited elites such as the Xijing Camp and the Four Camps. Even though the Four Camps and the Xijing Camp are extremely brave, they are still the flesh and blood of their parents. Once these elite soldiers are mobilized frequently, one day these elite soldiers will completely collapse due to exhaustion.
There are a few people who hope that they will succeed, but there are even more people who hope that they will fail, and they will do tricks behind their backs to make them fail faster. Among them are not only his own brothers, but also the old man’s concubines who have sons. There is also a guy who has been hiding under the water for who knows how long, waiting for this time. Of course, there is also the guy who may exist and manipulate everything behind the scenes.
Therefore, once he fails and loses Longyou, it is very likely to trigger a series of chain reactions that the court may not be able to withstand. Will the rebels that have been largely wiped out in Shanxi resurface? Will the guy who is hiding in the dark and has been preparing for who knows how many years launch a new and larger rebellion in some location?
What's more, in addition to the bright swords outside, there are also those opponents in the court who are focused on finding trouble with themselves and have been secretly attacking themselves. There are also those clans in the world who are not convinced by themselves and still hate their grandfather, which may be even more difficult to control. I have been pushed to this point by the old man. Even if there is a cliff behind him, there is no way out.
Now that I am a husband and a father, my responsibilities are even heavier. There are some things that you should consider for your family even if you don't consider them for yourself. Thinking about the children and Situ Huanshuang. The struggle of the Tian family has always been bloody. No loser has ever been able to survive. The saying "leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other in the future" does not apply to Tianjia.
In the Heavenly Family, there is no such thing as a crime less severe than that of one’s wife and children. They have always adhered to the practice of cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth. A person's failure will ruin more than just himself. Buried with him were all his family members, even a child who was just one month old. Thinking of the results of the losers in the previous throne struggles, Huang Qiong, who was even more worried, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
They say that during big events, one needs to be calm, but it seems that my Qi-nurturing skills are far from perfect. With the war approaching, far from being as calm as water, he was becoming more and more anxious. If his mother saw him like this, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to escape a scolding. Being like this, I also let my mother down. Thinking of his mother and turning the rosary in his hand, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly.
Huang Qiong shook his head and was speechless when looking at the maids standing outside the door of his study, who seemed to have been deliberately arranged and whose clothes were not ordinary revealing. Although he knows that he needs a woman now to relieve the pressure in his heart. You can also do whatever you want to these women. But he had no interest in these women who were readily available to him.
Back in the study, Huang Qiong became more and more irritable. Just when Huang Qiong was about to meditate and adjust his breathing, the deputy envoy of Jiedu came with his family to pay homage to him, the powerful ambassador of Longyou and Shaanxi Second Road, and the ninth prince of the reign of King Ying. Huang Qiong, who was already a little irritable, originally didn't want to see this guy dragging his family with him to disturb him at this time.
But the person has already arrived at the door, and it is always not good to not see him. In desperation, Huang Qiong asked the guards to let them in. In fact, as early as when he first came into contact with Baqiao, he had been somewhat disdainful of the deputy envoy of Jiedu who had a flattering look on his face. When I was discussing the dispatch of troops with the Shaanxi Road officials in the Dianqian Division, this guy didn't say a word.
Forget about making plans, even if he, as the deputy envoy, is basically supposed to do, he is basically shaking his head. As for the situation of Liu Lu going to Yan'an Mansion, he didn't know anything about it. Apart from that disgusting smile on his face, he didn't have any character that a military commander should have. In the front office, Huang Qiong only asked him a few words and then completely lost interest in discussing matters with him.
