Then he had a big fight with the court, or to be precise with himself. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong sneered for a long time. The condition proposed by this guy was quite a coincidence. There was a slight fluctuation in the capital, but he made this request. I'm afraid there may not be any connection at all. Otherwise, even if he sued for peace through war, he would not put forward such arrogant conditions.
As for the so-called victory he fought, it was nothing to him. Now the fighting on Guangnan West Road has completely subsided. The imperial court's tens of thousands of troops have been freed up and can enter Fujian Road to join the battle at any time. At this time, he proposed such ridiculous conditions. How could it look like a provocation rather than a request for peace? Huang Qiong did not trust him in Dahai, and the news was so blocked.
It was so closed off that even the news that the false emperor was dead and the rebels had been completely wiped out was unknown. If you don't believe him, they are all former deputy envoys of Jiedu, and they don't even understand the general trend of the world clearly. I don’t even believe that Liu Jinli, who urgently needed to expand his strength to protect Ryukyu, didn’t send someone to summon him after the death of the false emperor? This person acted like this, as if he did it deliberately to completely anger himself.
Thinking of this person's origin, Huang Qiong couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Could it be that there is something strange going on in the northwest? But now the rebellion within the imperial court has been basically suppressed. The remaining tens of thousands, backed by the sea, are just the remnants of the separatist territory of the Three Prefectures. Even if they are lucky enough to win a battle, it is impossible to change the general trend of the world. If a blind person can see a problem, can that person really not see it?
If that person wants to do something in the northwest at this time, the best period has passed. If he wants to do something when the false emperor is in the spotlight, it will indeed bring the greatest pressure to his cause of counterinsurgency, and may even cause a serious setback to his cause of counterinsurgency. It involves and distracts one's own energy and military power, and cannot all be used to counter the rebellion.
But now that the rebellion has been basically eliminated, the elites of the four major battalions have become available. Even on the Dali and Fujian roads, the war is still going on. But in addition to deploying some troops and horses, most of the troops dispatched were tempered by the flames of war, and their elite level was no less than that of the original Lianghu Guards of the four major battalions and the guards of the East and West Routes of Jiangnan. On Yang Jiyuan's side, even the new troops were dispatched.
Moreover, I have never had the elite of Xijing Camp. Although he initially faced the two-front battle of Bei Liao and counterinsurgency, no matter how much pressure he endured on the battlefield, he only mobilized a small number of troops and horses from the Xijing camp. Did he really think that the foreign troops and horses he collected in the Western Regions could compete with the Xijing camp? Or does he think that his troops are more elite than the Northwest Frontier Army?
Or do you think that the Western Region, most of which is the Gobi Desert, can provide sufficient food and grass to ensure his eastward march? Unless he bribed everyone in the Northwest Army from top to bottom, or placed confidants in important positions, he must have this possibility. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong took a few steps to the large map that he had copied many times and brought there.
Speaking of the cinnabar I criticized, I drew a circle around the territory controlled by the Zhangquan rebels, the capital city, and Chang'an and Longyou in the northwest. After pondering for a moment, he picked up his pen and connected these three places with straight lines. He also personally marked the locations of elite soldiers in various places on the map. Despite some hesitation, in the northwest direction, Longyou and Shaanxi 2nd Road were envoys, and their names were marked on the map.
Then he paced repeatedly in the study with his hands behind his back. I always feel that there is some unclear connection between the recent events in the capital and the possible changes in Zhangquan and the northwest. Otherwise, even if the King of Song is a fool, he should know that he now controls the military and political power tightly. Even if he tries hard, he can't make too many waves.
With just one finger of his, he and Prince Teng could be pinned down tightly. His grandfather, who was once the leading civil servant, passed away, and after his uncles Ding You were put on the bench, the influence that the old man once had some taboos on among the civil servants has long since disappeared. What's more, although his grandfather has been in business for many years, he does not have the slightest influence among military officers and nobles.
Without military power, no matter how hard he dances, it will be useless. Instead, he was making excuses for himself so that he could deal with him. Even if this guy is a stupid pig, he's not that stupid. What's more, he was a little stupid, but Princess De was not stupid enough. He jumped up and down so happily this time that he even provoked the somewhat clever Dong Qianhong to join in.
Behind this, there was no one to support him, no one to give him advice. Only his pig head would think of causing trouble from his own harem. What is happening now in the palace in the capital, and the rebels in Zhangquan Second Mansion, are making this threatening peace request. It's just that these two things, on the surface, seem to have no necessary connection, but they happened almost at the same time.
Huang Qiong always felt that there must be some kind of connection between the two that he didn't know about. Moreover, Huang Qiong always felt vaguely familiar with this routine, as if he had seen it there or even experienced it personally. And Huang Qiong always felt that no matter what happened in the capital or this incident on Fujian Road, the same person was secretly behind it.
Now that the false emperor is dead, his real successor Liu Jinli has not yet been sorted out internally. Even if he didn't have the skills or the ability to cause so many troubles, it would be impossible for him to even infiltrate the palace. As for Concubine De, Huang Qiong didn't think she had the IQ. Although this Concubine De was better than her son who was as stupid as a pig, she was actually not much better.
Even the old man doesn't have the ability to control these things at the same time. Even if the old man can really get rid of his mother and cause trouble, the most he can do is restrict the capital. Thinking of the experience of Vice Envoy Zhang, I am afraid that the only one in the world who can come up with such a method now is the King of Shu who went to the Western Regions. Even though his power in Daqi is no longer what it was after so many years of blows from him.
But if he really sells the pot, he still has the ability to cause trouble. And judging from the power of the King of Shu who has been uncovered now and the forces left in Daqi, Huang Qiong believes that he and Vice Envoy Zhang may have always maintained some kind of contact. If it were not for the support of the King of Shu, the deputy envoy Zhang would not have been able to do something like this in Zhangzhou Mansion, with only a thousand troops and horses at his disposal.
He left the capital and went south. Huang Qiong believed that since the old man and he had worked so hard for so many years and still had no clear ears and eyes, there was no way he would not know about that guy in the capital now. If he really made up his mind to march eastward to the Central Plains, he would definitely take the opportunity to cause something to happen. However, if the person controlling all this is really the King of Shu, many things can be figured out.
How many forces had the King of Shu secretly built before, and how many of the officials in the dynasty were his. Under the constraints of the previous commander Wen Du, it has not been possible to find out until now. Whether it has infiltrated into the army or not, even I can't guarantee. Especially since this person has retreated to the Western Region for several years. Judging from his character and past examples, he will not fail to infiltrate the northwest garrison.
If he really makes up his mind to go east and return to his homeland, I'm afraid that at this time, he will definitely be internally involved, or involve his own energy, or cause some trouble for himself, so that he will have no time to take care of him. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong raised his head and looked at the map in front of him again. After thinking for a while, I opened Yang Jiyuan's book and reviewed it again and again. I picked up the pen several times, but finally put it down.
Yang Jiyuan also reported at the same time in the memorial that he had regrouped 20,000 troops and horses and could march into the three palaces at any time to destroy this imperial food for the imperial court. It is a last resort to report these things to dirty the ears and eyes of the Holy King. After all, he could not decide whether the rebels wanted to negotiate or not. He could not decide whether to accept or not the Privy Council. Seeing Yang Jiyuan's last words, Huang Qiong smiled.
It seems that this guy was afraid that his idea of letting him negotiate with Zhang Bingyuan and let him make contributions would fall short at the last moment, so he deliberately mentioned it to stimulate himself. Because this guy, during those days in the capital, I am afraid he has already figured out his character, at least roughly. I know that the imperial court is currently in serious deficit and its financial resources are unsustainable.
Up and down the court, there were many people who were looking forward to putting down the troops. Especially among civil servants, this kind of power is still very popular. Even after the current war with Dali Kingdom started, many people in the court believed that given the current financial resources of the court, there really should not be any more border troubles. He was worried that in the face of huge pressure from the DPRK and China, he would be asked to negotiate with the rebels in order to preserve the Dali battlefield.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong did not hesitate. She picked up her pen and wrote on Yang Jiyuan's book. I am not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I don't want Tian Chengsi to appear in the Qi Dynasty. I also hope that you, Yang Jiyuan, will not be a servant of Huaien. At the end, Huang Qiong picked up his pen and commented on the paper that it is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to be a famous academic overlord. After approving the fold, Huang Qiong directly sent it out.
After pondering for a long time, Huang Qiong decided not to consider Yang Jiyuan's face issue anymore. He wrote a secret order to Ouyang Shan, who was now stationed in Chaomei and Chaozhou, and asked him to immediately supervise the army's northward march and cooperate with Yang Jiyuan to put down the rebellion in the three prefectures as soon as possible and completely wipe out the rebels. After putting down the secret edict to Ouyang Shan, Huang Qiong issued two edicts to Fu Yuanshan, Lu Duan and Yu Mingyuan in the capital.
As soon as Zheng Daoyuan, who was currently Fufan in Xining Prefecture, rushed to Xijing to take over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Xijing, he also took charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Xijing. He took full control of the Longyou and Shaanxi Second Routes, all military affairs of the frontier army, and the guard army. The Second Route Jiedu and the frontier army defense ambassadors were under his jurisdiction. Originally, he was in charge of the affairs of Fufan in Xining Prefecture. Zhang Qian, the pacifier of Longyou, took over temporarily, and he would appoint another person after he selected a suitable candidate.
Another imperial edict ordered Uncle Xun Cheng, who was currently acting as the former director of the Xijing Palace, to be transferred back to the capital immediately and serve as the deputy capital commander of the former director of the Capital Palace. The Sima infantry commander in front of the Xijing Palace was succeeded by Du She, the military envoy of the various prefectures in Longyou Jiedu. The tens of thousands of troops and horses in the Xijing camp are jointly controlled by him and Zheng Daoyuan. No soldier in the Xijing camp was allowed to move without permission before receiving his imperial edict.
If there is any change among the generals on the second side of the road and the guards, Zheng Daoyuan can kill them first and report later. As for Uncle Xuncheng, after returning to the capital, Gao Huaiyuan was secretly placed under house arrest. After he returns to the capital, he will deal with it separately. At the same time, Gao Huaiyuan was ordered. After King Yong completed the confinement of the two kings of Teng and Song, he was immediately locked up and secretly interrogated by all the servants of the two houses.
Just finishing the changes that may occur in the northwest. After sealing the two secret edicts with his own hands, Huang Qiong was not completely relieved, nor did he send out the two secret edicts immediately. He always felt that something was missing from his deployment. Standing up, Huang Qiong walked to the yard, but paced repeatedly, wondering what he had missed.
