"There will be many opportunities to settle accounts with Wei Gong in the future. The top priority is to resolve the rebellion in Datong first." Han Xu said bitterly.
He hated Wei Gong more than anyone else.
Zhu Guozhen nodded and said: "I hope that with the troops from Taiyuan Zhending, Baoding Three Prefectures and Yulin Town, we can successfully quell the rebellion in Datong, otherwise Wei Wei will definitely take the opportunity to deal with you, brother Yuchen."
"I know." Han Xu nodded seriously.
tread! tread! tread!
Rapid footsteps sounded outside the office.
"Mr. Ge, the governor of Shanxi has sent me an urgent report." Zhongshu Sheren said eagerly after entering the office, "Datong Zuowei Road and Gaoshan Settlement have all fallen into the hands of bandits. Datong Town has been besieged by bandits. .”
"Bring it to me." Han Xu reached out and snatched the official document from the man in the middle school room.
After reading the above content, his face suddenly turned pale, and the official document fell on the desk.
"Could it be that the governor of Shanxi made a mistake? The official document sent from Datong didn't say that the bandits only captured Yanghe Road in Datong. How could they be besieged so quickly?" Zhu Guozhen frowned and went at the same time. Take the official document from the table.
Han Xu said with an ugly face: "It seems that the situation in Datong is more dangerous than you and I expected. What I am most worried about now is that Datong will not be able to wait for reinforcements."
"Otherwise, we should ask the Holy One again to see if we can dispatch a troop of troops from Liaodong to Datong to quell the rebellion." Zhu Guozhen said.
Han Xu shook his head slightly and said: "Even if the Holy One agrees to dispatch a troop of soldiers and horses from Liaodong to Datong, it will be too late. Now we can only urge the troops and horses from Taiyuan to rush over quickly to relieve the danger of Datong."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zhu Guozhen put down the official document from Taiyuan, turned around and walked out.
Han Xu stood up from his seat and said to the people in Zhongshu She who were standing aside: "Inform all the cabinet ministers to come to my place to discuss matters. If I don't come back, let them wait here."
After saying that, he walked out of the office.
Zhongshu Sheren followed him out of the office and ran all the way to the offices of other pavilion elders.
Han Xu left Wenyuan Pavilion and went directly to Qianqing Palace.
When he came to the door of Qianqing Palace, he stopped and said to the young eunuch guarding the door: "Please go in and report to the Lord. I have important military affairs and need to meet with the Holy Emperor."
The little eunuch outside the palace gate turned around and ran into the palace.
After a short time, the young eunuch came out of the palace with slightly red cheeks. He faced Han Xu and said, "Your Majesty agreed to meet Mr. Han, and Mr. Ge came with your servant."
The little eunuch led the way, and Han Xu entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
"I see you, Your Majesty." Han Xu came to the inner hall and bowed deeply to Tianqi on the dragon couch.
Tianqi, who was playing with the wooden cart in his hand, said without raising his head: "Ai Qing came to see me in a hurry and said that she has important military affairs. What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I have received an urgent message from the governor of Shanxi. It says that the bandits in Datong have occupied the Zuowei Road of Datong and have now besieged the town of Datong." Han Xu said in a deep voice.
Snap!
The wooden cart in Tianqi's hand fell to the ground.
The little eunuch next to him hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up the wooden cart, holding it carefully in his hands.
"It's not that the bandits are only causing trouble in the Xinpingbao area of Datong, why are they even surrounding Datong City?" Tianqi frowned.
When Han Xu heard this, he immediately understood that someone deliberately made the problem of Datong not so serious in front of Tianqi, so that Tianqi did not know the critical situation of Datong.
Tianqi continued: "There must be no trouble in Datong City. My dear, didn't you order the three prefectures of Taiyuan Zhending and Baoding to send an army to Datong and ask them to rush there quickly and lift the siege of Datong."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have sent someone to urge you. I believe that reinforcements from Taiyuan Prefecture will arrive in Datong soon. Even if the danger in Datong City cannot be relieved for a while, Datong City can hold off the bandits for a while and hold on until Several other reinforcements are coming," Han Xu said.
Tianqi nodded and said: "That's good. As long as the city of Datong is not lost, the bandits will not be able to easily move eastward or southward. Once several armies arrive, they will be able to completely wipe out the rebel group in Datong and destroy my wood." Give me the car."
The last sentence was said to the little eunuch next to him.
The little eunuch handed the wooden cart to Tianqi.
"I hope to dispatch a troop of soldiers and horses from Liaodong to Datong to quell the chaos, and I would like to ask the Holy One for permission." Han Xu bowed and saluted.
Tianqi frowned and said, "Haven't we already sent soldiers and horses from the three prefectures of Taiyuan, Zhending and Baoding to Datong to quell the rebellion? By the way, there are also soldiers and horses from Yulin Town. Aren't these many soldiers and horses not enough?"
"I believe that the rebel bandits can defeat the two frontier armies of Xuanda, and their strength must not be underestimated. I am worried that the troops of Taiyuan Zhending and Baoding three prefectures alone may not be able to quell the rebellion in Datong." Han Xu said.
Tianqi put the wooden cart aside casually, looked at Han Xu and said, "Is it possible that the bandits in Datong are more difficult to deal with than the slave thieves in Liaodong? Isn't it true that the many soldiers and horses I sent over are not enough?"
"I am just worried that if an elite army from Liaodong can go to Datong, we will be more confident in suppressing the rebellion." Han Xu did not directly say how the soldiers and horses of other provinces were, but once again requested the deployment of troops from Liaodong.
Tianqi hesitated.
When he thought of the slave thieves in Liaodong, his desire to mobilize troops from Liaodong to Datong was immediately extinguished.
"Okay, the imperial court spent so much money in Liaodong to deal with the slaves and thieves there. The rebellion in Datong was just a scabies disease. With the soldiers and horses of the three prefectures and the soldiers and horses of Yulin Town, it was enough to quell the rebellion of Datong. Yes." Tianqi once again rejected Han Xu's request to mobilize troops from Liaodong.
Han Xu looked disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Datong was already in such danger, and Tianqi was actually unwilling to dispatch troops from Liaodong to Datong to quell the rebellion.
In desperation, he could only say obediently: "I understand."
"Okay, if there is nothing else, Han Aiqing can go back first, I won't keep you." Tianqi began to drive people away.
"As long as the rebellion in Datong is put down, everything will get better." Han Xu said.
Zhu Guozhen nodded slightly, and then asked: "The Holy Emperor summoned you to Qianqing Palace, why did you do it?"
"The Holy One learned about the defeat of the two frontier armies of Xuanda and Datong in Datong. He was very unhappy and ordered me to put down the rebellion as soon as possible." Han Xu told Tianqi the purpose of summoning him.
Zhu Guozhen said: "I don't blame the Holy Spirit for being anxious. It is true that Datong is not as good as Liaodong. There are not many passes to defend. Once the rebels occupy Xuanda, Zhili will be in danger."
"The Holy One has agreed to send soldiers and horses from Yulin Town to Datong to quell the rebellion." Han Xu said.
Zhu Guozhen frowned and said, "I didn't mean to dispatch a troop of troops from Liaodong to suppress the rebellion. Why did we send troops from Yulin Town?"
"When I went to Qianqing Palace to see the Holy Emperor, I saw Wei Wei." Han Xu said with a bad expression.
Snapped!
Zhu Guozhen slapped his hand on the table and said bitterly: "The eunuch is harming the country!"
