Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight wind direction
The Tingwei Mansion is still pursuing the whereabouts of other rebels in Tianzi Ke. The Ministry of War sent someone to ask Chen Leng to discuss the strategy of mobilizing troops in the northern border. The competition for the army that was originally to be held was also postponed due to an accident in the city. In recent years, the competition for the army seems to have not been normal.
The extraordinary thing about this competition between the various armies is that the people selected this time may be sent to the northern border to familiarize themselves with the climate and terrain of the northern border in advance. The Bohai Kingdom has been destroyed, the Black Martial Arts is unstable, and the right time, place, and people are in Daning. This battle is imperative.
When Chen Leng arrived at the Ministry of War, many people had already arrived. The person sitting first was not the Minister of War An Yuanzhi, but the veteran general Su Mao who returned from the palace in the East Xinjiang. The veteran general was highly respected, and no one in the Daning military had higher qualifications than him. If he sat aside, who would have the nerve to be in the first place?
A group of officials from the Ministry of War sat with him and chatted. Chen Leng entered the door and the veteran General Su Mao was the first to stand up, and the others also stood up.
The old general smiled and looked at Chen Leng: "Long time no see General Chen."
Chen Leng first stood up and saluted, then strode over to meet the old general's hand that came out. The old general pulled him back: "Sit beside me and tell me how you broke the Bohai Kingdom later."
The person who was originally sitting next to the old general had to give in, and Chen Leng suddenly felt embarrassed.
At this time, Meng Chang'an and Yan Kaisong also arrived. Everyone stood up to greet each other again. Chen Leng took the opportunity to leave the old general and smiled apologized to the official of the Ministry of War who gave up his seat to him just now. When he came back, he sat aside, not far from the old general.
One of the old general Su Mao was An Yuanzhi, the Minister of Revenue, and the other was Du Gaochun, the new Minister of War. The former Minister of War was really old and weak, so he resigned and returned home. His Majesty approved the report a while ago that the Minister of War was less than ten days after taking office.
Chen Leng heard that Lord Du was a marching officer in the Jiaziying, Gyeonggi Province. In terms of rank, it was a high-ranking promotion to the Ministry of War. He was originally a fourth-ranking official, but now he has been promoted to the third-ranking official, which is a rare thing in the officialdom.
Du Gaochun smiled kindly at Chen Leng and signaled that he didn't care.
"All the people are here."
The veteran general Su Mao smiled and said, "Thanks to His Majesty that I, an old guy who has retired, is presided over this discussion, but when it comes to speaking, I just sit here and listen to it. You just want to talk about yours. If I think of any good way, I will say it. Most of the time, you should think that I am not here."
Everyone laughed, and they laughed with each other. Who dared to think that he did not exist?
"There should be no problem with food and weed supply."
Minister of War An Yuanzhi glanced at Du Gaochun: "Although Master Du has come, he has hardly had a rest these days. He has become familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War, especially the preparations for the Northern Xinjiang war. So please tell me about the situation of the generals and the generals and the generals. "
Du Gaochun stood up: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your trust, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for your suggestions... In the war in the Northern Xinjiang, Your Majesty began planning several years ago, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue and the Navy coordinated the transportation. Now the three granaries built in the northern Xinjiang have been built. The grain stored in the granaries is enough for the army for five years. This is a conservative statement. In fact, it may be enough for more than eight years."
He paused for a moment and continued, "The Ministry of Revenue coordinated with the grassland's big Aijin Yunsangduo. Yunsangduo sent 10,000 cavalry to escort a large number of supplies to the northern border. For the cavalry in the northern border, there is no need to worry about the supply of the grass needed for war horses, and there is no need to worry about the supplement of war horses."
The old general said, "In terms of combat preparations, including me, when did all the generals leading the troops not believe in the adults behind us? To be a joke, how many times did I tell my subordinates at that time that I was leading the troops in the northern border? I have told my subordinates how many times that I have been in charge of the food and clothing of those who are fighting on the frontier. I have never seen my parents who don't love their children."
Everyone really laughed this time, and the scene immediately became much easier.
The old general looked at Chen Leng: "The Bohai people should have no strength to make trouble anymore, right?"
Chen Leng looked at Yan Kaisong, who was the last person to evacuate from the Bohai Sea.
"Before General Yan Kaisong returns to Beijing, he will preside over the military affairs of the Bohai Kingdom. Let's talk about General Yan."
Yan Kaisong stood up: "Although there are still a small remnants in the Bohai Sea, it can no longer cause any storms. It has been nearly a year since I left the Bohai State and heard the news of good news. It should have been basically eliminated. Our army guarded the Etoushan Mountain Pass in the northern Bohai Sea. Even if there are still some remnants in the Bohai Sea, let alone Baishan Pass, so the people of Bohai don't have to worry."
The old general nodded: "Worry-ready, worry-free Bohai, let's see what the combat strategy formulated by the Ministry of War."
The Minister of War An Yuanzhi intended that Du Gaochun showed his face in front of all the generals, so he asked him to say that Du Gaochun was originally a marching officer and was professional in formulating combat plans. He briefly explained the strategy of the Ministry of War, with clear and concise order.
Meng Changan put his head close to Chen Leng and said in a low voice: "This Lord Du is really capable."
Chen Leng nodded, but always felt that Lord Du's eyes would unconsciously float towards him.
At the same time, Tingwei Mansion.
Han Huanzhi glanced at the four thousand-dollars under him: "There are hundreds of people arrested by Bohai people, and the confessions of these people have been sorted out. I sent a message to Gu Le and Geng Shan in northern Xinjiang, and asked them to investigate at Baishanguan to see how the Bohai people came in. What we caught was just some minions. They didn't even know the purpose of entering Chang'an, and they just followed them blindly. Now it seems more like the plan made by the Grand Secretary for leaving Babu Lane. The Bohai people were just abandoned sons."
Fang Baijing said: "Or why do you go to the low-ranking position? You are more familiar with low-ranking positions in the northeastern border."
“No need yet.”
Han Huanzhi said: "The people with the Tianzi Department have not been cleared yet, so how many people have not been asked. You can examine the Taoists in Fengning Temple as soon as possible."
Fang Baijing lowered her head: "I understand the humble position."
Han Huanzhi looked at Fang Bailu again: "You and Nie Ye took people to continue searching outside the city. I guess there would be no major progress, but you should not relax. The leader of the Bohai people is said to be a Sang native named Suga Aso. He studied in Sihai Pavilion and sent people to the academy to check."
Fang Bailu and Nie Ye clasped their fists: "I respect my duties."
"Yao Hunu."
Han Huanzhi said: "Take a hundred and twenty black cavalry out of Chang'an Shunguan Road all the way south to see if there is anything found in Fangcheng County. Fangcheng County is very close to Chang'an, and there is a mixed place of dragons and snakes, which is easy to hide. If you find anything, don't act rashly. People with Tianzi Ke are very good at martial arts. Come back immediately to tell me, just stare at it."
"Abide by the orders of humble duties."
Yao Hunu clasped his fists.
Han Huanzhi said: "Also... forget it, let's arrange these first, Fang Baijing stays."
The other three Qianban, who wanted to take people out to continue searching, got up and left. Fang Baijing stayed in the study and waited for Han Huanzhi to give instructions. Han Huanzhi handed a file to Fang Baijing: "Huo Ding is from Jiazi Camp. If you move, we have not moved the secret line in Jiazi Camp for many years. After all, Jiazi Camp is at the foot of the emperor of Gyeonggi Province and I don't pay much attention to it on weekdays. This time, Huo Ding's affairs made me feel that Jiazi Camp is not clean. You can investigate quietly and don't tell others except you and me, including those who just went out."
Fang Baijing's face changed: "Sir, I suspect there is a ghost in Jiazi Camp?"
"I have no idea."
Han Huanzhi shook his head: "But Jiaziying is so important, garrison the capital, if the inside of Jiaziying is not clean..."
Fang Baijing said: "Bizhi immediately contacted the hidden lines in Jiaziying."
Han Huanzhi said: "Jiazi Bang General Xue Rang attaches great importance to Huo Ding. With Xue Rang's character, he definitely does not have a second thought to the Lord. But if someone can deceive Xue Rang, then these people will definitely be at a low position around Xue Rang, especially those in Xue Rang's personal military camp... You have to deal with this matter carefully. We have basically never moved the secret lines in each warrior. Once it is exposed, you can imagine how big the reactions of those generals will be. Once the Jiazi Bang is exposed, the guards will start to panic. At that time, if more than a dozen third-rank generals join forces to put pressure on our Tingwei Mansion, I can't stand it."
Fang Baijing nodded: "I know."
Han Huanzhi stood up and said, "Go, call Guan Rou in when you go out."
Guan Rou was brought up by Geng Shan, a thousand office workers, and she was also a woman. There were very few women in the Tingwei Mansion, only Geng Shan had a few subordinates. Guan Rou was a subordinate who Geng Shan valued very much and was also considered her disciple. It has been seven years since she entered the Tingwei Mansion at the age of seventeen. A while ago, she was just promoted to Baiban. After Geng Shan went to the northern border, her team of people were led by Guan Rou.
Fang Baijing held her fists and said goodbye. Soon Guan Rou ran in from outside. She was a girl who always looked so energetic. She was different from Geng Shan's personality. Geng Shan couldn't smile a few times a year, but her face seemed to be always smiling. She looked very good when she smiled. Her dimples were like people. Geng Shan was like a man. Although she was not as hard as Geng Shan, she would inevitably be more masculine in her personality after she was in the Tingwei Mansion for a long time.
After Guan Rou came in, she greeted her. Han Huanzhi waved her hand and signaled her to close the door.
"Geng Shan took away most of your people, and only twenty of them left for you."
Han Huanzhi picked up a file and handed it to Guan Rou: "You have been working with the people of Bohai recently, let me go first, and leave this case to you."
Guan Rou took the file with both hands, and there was only one word outside the file.
Yang.
But this word made Guan Rou's face slightly change: "Hou clan?"
"yes."
Han Huanzhi leaned back. It had been a long time since he had a serious rest and his face was full of fatigue.
"I recently discovered that people from the Hou tribe seem to go out frequently. Taking advantage of the Bohai people and Tianzi Ke, people in Chang'an City, many people in the Yang family left Chang'an. I arranged for people to keep an eye on them before. They should have returned to the Yang family's ancestral home, but this is not normal. After the last time the concubine Zhen went to the Yang family, the Yang family kept closed to thank the guests. No one walked out of the door except for the necessary purchases. Suddenly, many people left. Something must be wrong."
Guan Rou nodded: "Go and check it out immediately."
"Be careful."
Han Huanzhi glanced at Guan Rou: "The Yang family hasn't moved for a long time. When they suddenly move, they may have to make a last try. The Yang family is ruthless and can do everything. And I don't believe that no one will contact the Yang family. There is a lot of things that they have planned. I guess the Yang family should have arranged for the Yang family. If you know, don't tell me. I suspect that the Yang family's actions are related to the Prince's Highness, so I have transferred thirty people from Nie Ye. There will be someone secretly assisting you in the Liuyun Club Youth Hall. The superficial power of the Liuyun Club is also watched by others, but the Young Children's Hall is still underwater."
Han Huanzhi rubbed his temples: "Go and do it, remember, if you encounter a master, don't do it rudely."
"Remember the humble position."
Guan Rou responded, looking as if she was forcibly suppressing her nervousness.
