Feng Ziying was a little irritated. She thought she had every plan, but she made such a big mistake.
Even if Duan Xipeng and the others bear the main responsibility, don't they have any problems?
Didn't you think that when they went south, they would encounter interference from various intelligences and lead to misjudgments?
Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang are not themselves. Before the information is implemented, they cannot make a sudden decision and buy time like themselves. If this is a slight delay, the opportunity to pass this journey will be lost. If you leave at this time, you will have to bear the responsibility. The risk is greater.
And Feng Ziying can be sure that Duan Xipeng and Feng Jinchang must have been affected by the attitudes of Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, otherwise they would not be still going south at this time.
It is far away in Shanxi, and according to the speed of the group going south, it is not just on the road between Wenxi and Jiezhou, but it is most likely to be between Anyi and Jiezhou.
But this section of the road is the place where the rebels must come. One Si Yancheng is enough to make all the rebels want to get it quickly. The amount of salt and salt exchange silver is unknown, but Shaanxi and Hedong both transfer salt envoys to Si The Yamen is located next to the salt pond. The salt and salt money from the two provinces are also gathered here. Moreover, there are not many guards guarding it. Where would you go if you don't come here?
If he were the leader of the rebel army, he would definitely choose this place as his first choice. In contrast, cities like Anyi, Wenxi and Xiezhou can be left alone, and they can't escape anyway.
"Do you think Duan Xipeng and the others know that the Yi clan has fallen and that the rebel army may be marching towards Anyi?" Feng Ziying asked leisurely.
"Sir, I'm afraid even if you know, you won't be able to dodge at that time, and we might encounter you head-on." Wang Wenyan said matter-of-factly, "You can only think of the worst-case scenario for this kind of thing, and you can't take chances. "
"Yes, even if there is only a slight risk, I don't dare to bear it."
Feng Ziying knew very well that aside from her feelings for Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan, if the name of the governor's concubine fell into the hands of the rebels, it would probably become an "unexplainable matter" to the world. "Scandal", neither Feng Ziying nor the court would be able to accept this situation.
"Sir, if this is the case, then we must send troops to rescue." Wang Wenyan was already thinking about countermeasures after reading the letter. "The sooner the better, to avoid the worst situation."
"Well, when we send troops, who should we send? Destroy the city camp or Qiu Zixiong's troops?" Feng Ziying muttered, "I'm afraid it's too late."
"No, it will definitely be too late over there. Only Tongguan Guard Zhao Qianshan's troops immediately crossed the river from Fengling and marched along Puzhou to Anyi and Wenxi. At the same time, Li Guibao and others were asked to go there first to ensure the safety of several aunts."
Wang Wenyan's words moved Feng Ziying slightly, and he had thought about it, but what was the reason?
The defenders of Tongguan Guard are not simple. Although they are guards, their status is already comparable to that of the frontier army. They are the defenders that choke Shanxi and Henan from entering Shaanxi. What is the reason for suddenly crossing the river into Jin? Just because I saved you Feng Ziying If you love your concubine, the censor shouldn't impeach himself to death?
"Wen Yan, not to mention whether Zhao Qianshan will agree to send troops, even if he is willing, he must give the other party enough reasons, otherwise he and I will be impeached, so I will give it up, and I will not be afraid of boiling water when it comes to the censor. , but Zhao Qianshan can't pass the test." Feng Ziying said every word, "There must be a good reason."
"Haha, isn't this simple, sir?" Wang Wenyan said confidently: "There are big warehouses in Puzhou that store thousands of grains, there is Yancheng in Anyi, and the warehouses and salt offices in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are very rich, so there is no room for them. Lost, not to mention that the imperial court also has a letter asking you to pay close attention to the situation in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture to prevent the Shaanxi rebel army from attacking southern Shanxi and getting out of control? Doesn't this mean that you can act cheaply? "
All the documents that came and went from the imperial court had passed through Wang Wenyan's eyes, and he remembered every word and every sentence clearly.
This is a letter from the Ministry of War. How to understand it? It means there are too many words. You can use this reason openly.
In order to prevent the rebel army from seizing the grain, salt and salt money from the warehouse and then becoming powerful, Shaanxi should prepare for a rainy day and strike preemptively. Is it still wrong?
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, it was indeed a coup, a good idea!
But he then asked, "But there is only one battalion of Tongguan Guards. Once they go out, there will be no one to guard Tongguan Guards. What if they are taken advantage of by the rebel troops from Chengcheng and Linyang?"
"We can temporarily order the Tongguan guards to keep one unit, and also ask Du Si Xie to order the Xi'an guards to send troops to reinforce Tongguan, simply under the banner of intervening in southern Shanxi. No one can say what it is. As for how to act after Tongguan, That can be discussed later." Wang Wenyan said lightly.
There are four guards stationed in Xi'an Prefecture, Xi'an Vanguard, Xi'an Guard, Xi'an Left Guard, Xi'an Right Guard, plus Fengxiang Station of Fengxiang Prefecture, and Tongguan Guard, a total of five guards and one station, jointly guarding the entire Guanzhong Plain.
However, the Four Guards of Xi'an have been stationed in the city of Xi'an for a long time and are pampered. They are similar to the Beijing Camp in the Capital City. Their combat effectiveness is worrying. They are far inferior to the Tongguan Guards and the Fengxiang Guards. It is okay to pull them out to scare people, but when it comes to actually going into battle, they cannot Xie Zhenye didn't dare to mention it, but Feng Ziying and Wang Wenyan also knew it well.
"Wen Yan, you have given me a difficult problem. It is really difficult to ask the Four Guards of Xi'an to send troops to quell the chaos. Xie Zhenye may not be able to command." Feng Ziying smiled helplessly.
When Xie Zhenye came to Wubao City to report to himself, he mentioned the Four Guards of Xi'an. He gnashed his teeth when he mentioned it. He only said that these losers were a waste of money and food and should have been abolished long ago. When the three sides and four towns needed to recruit troops, Xi'an would be excluded first. Siwei, definitely don’t do it.
"The four generals, generals, guerrilla guards, and so on, are all sons of distinguished nobles, or they have some connections with important officials in the Chief Envoy Department and the Inspector General Department. Xie Zhenye can't command him, but the Lord can't command him either. "Wang Wenyan smiled.
"Actually, it's not that Xie Zhenye can't command, he just doesn't want to offend these people. But for your Excellency, I think this is just an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to rectify the four guards of Xi'an. If you are really short-sighted and disobedient, Your Excellency, You can take advantage of the situation to abolish and dispose of it. As for your honor, sir, it's fine that the people here in Xi'an don't know, but don't you know that the court has long been fed up with these so-called Conglong family, isn't Prince Yi Zhong? Is there support from the Conglong family? Is there anyone here who has been admitted to the Administrative Envoys Department and the Inspectorate Envoys Department? They can also clean it up and check it out. Lieutenant Long will definitely be willing to provide information for you,..."
Feng Ziying laughed. Wang Wenyan was indeed a veteran, and he came up with countermeasures easily, "Then what do you think of Xi'an's four guards..."
"Sir, please don't think too simplistically about these people who are useless in fighting but are excellent officials. Sir Xie, as long as you take a tougher attitude, some people will naturally understand. Even if you don't understand, you can relate to it. It's still the same. Someone will come and hug your thick legs, sir, you can rest assured about this, but I don’t believe that Sir Xie doesn’t have any connections in the Four Guards of Xi’an.” Wang Wenyan said with a smile.
Feng Ziying secretly sighed, Wang Wenyan saw through Xie Zhenye at a glance.
Xie Zhenye may not be good at doing things, but he is good at being an official. He is quite skillful in trying to figure out what his superiors want and in arranging people for his subordinates. He is so eager to urge himself to take action against the Four Guards of Xi'an. Isn't it just that he wants to abolish the army? After defeating the general, how can he secure his own people?
If he revealed this intention now, I'm afraid Xie Zhenye would be even more elated and eager to take action immediately.
"However, I'm afraid I have to go and talk about Wenyan at Tongguan Guard Zhao Qianshan's place. I'm not familiar with this person..." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin.
"Haha, this matter has been taken care of by Wen Yan. Wen Yan will leave soon. Your Excellency will write two letters, one to Mr. Xie, and Wen Yan will take one with you. If Zhao Qianshan is unaware of current affairs, Wen Yan will bring it back to Mr. Xie if he shows it again. A good result." Wang Wenyan smiled and said, "But I guess Zhao Qianshan is more aware of current affairs than we thought."
Wang Wenyan dared to say this, so he naturally had something to rely on.
Through his investigation after arriving in Shaanxi for more than half a year, he learned that although Zhao Qianshan may be considered cunning and cunning, even Xie Zhenye seems to be unable to do anything about him, but in fact he is a small person with great success. Small things show his character, but big things are never ambiguous. , if it weren't for Xie Zhenye, would he really be able to tolerate him? He would have found various excuses to deal with him long ago.
Moreover, Wang Wenyan could also see that Zhao Qianshan was also obsessed with climbing up. Now give him such a capable person.
How could he fail to seize the opportunity to make friends with the governor? That would underestimate the political wisdom of the officials below who are struggling to make a living.
"Then I'll help you. This trip is more than three hundred miles away. You have to be careful on the way and bring two more people with you..." Feng Ziying didn't leave Wang Wenyan alone.
Business is important. As Wang Wenyan said, this trip is not only to meet Baoqin and the others, but also to let the Shaanxi Guards go east to see the situation on the east side of the river.
Now that the news has come back through various channels, I have never been able to grasp a comprehensive and systematic situation. Wang Wenyan went there in person, and of course he could evaluate the situation in southern Shanxi more objectively and in detail.
Feng Ziying has a feeling that the situation in Shaanxi may be settled sooner than imagined, but the situation in Hedong may be more troublesome than everyone expected, and may even involve some unexpected conflicts. events are linked.
If I can successfully complete my trip to Shaanxi, I won't have to be dragged into the mess of Shanxi in the end. Then I will really have just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
I hope this premonition will not come true, Feng Ziying can only pray like this.
