For more than two months, what Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui, Gu Dajun and others have experienced has been like a nightmare.
When they first heard about the southern invaders, they thought that Gong County was in a corner, and since they were responsible for guarding the mausoleum, the war had nothing to do with them. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, King Jing came to Gong County under the escort of the Chushan cavalry, and without saying a word, he
Take away from them the military power of the mausoleum guarding army and the defense power of Gong County.
Then several times the enemy troops surrounded the city and attacked it. There were mountains of corpses under the city and rivers of blood. Finally, they persisted until the reinforcements of the Western Army arrived and relieved the siege of Gong County.
King Jing Zhao Tuan, Zhou He, Miao Yanxiong, Zheng Huaizhong and others argued fiercely about whether peace should be a war, a slowdown or an urgent war. Some of Qiao Jien and others, who were frightened by the bloody war, naturally hoped that Zhou He and Miao Yanxiong would fight steadily.
Be cautious at all times.
They thought that with hundreds of thousands of capable Western troops as backup, they would be able to completely avert the danger as long as the imperial court negotiated a peace with the Chihu people.
They all hoped from the bottom of their hearts that the redemption would get the Red Husbands to withdraw their troops.
Who would have thought that at this time, seeing the Chi Hu people showing signs of withdrawing their troops before reaching a peace agreement, King Jing Zhao Tuan would be bewitched by Xu Huai and want to cross the river to pursue the captive troops retreating north?
How could Qiao Jien and the others not object?
Even if you crush them into scraps, you can still find countless "disagreements".
However, Zhou He, Miao Yanxiong, Zheng Huaizhong and others were unable to stop him, and their opposition was of no help. Qiao Jien thought that they were the mausoleum guards and stayed in Gong County in the name of repairing the imperial mausoleum, so that he could stay out of the matter from now on.
However, after King Jing Zhao Tuan led the troops guarding the tomb, Qiao Jien went to Zhou He, Wu Wenche and others to discuss repairing the imperial tomb. He asked one of Zheng Huaizhong's counselors to laugh at how he was willing to give up the merit of following the dragon, and he suddenly woke up.
In addition to the Hulu invasion from the south, they have already been involved in the struggle to seize the direct descendants.
How could they stay out of it?
If something unfortunate happens to King Jing and Zhao Tuan crossing the river to the north, although they cannot completely shirk responsibility, they can still bear it; this is also the consequence they have considered before.
However, now that the most critical layer of window paper has been pierced by Zheng Huaizhong's men, Qiao Jien has to consider the situation in which King Jing Zhao Tuan crosses the river north without incident, and even gains power.
When the time comes, will Renming Palace (where Empress Duangong and the Chen family live) take this matter lightly?
When the time comes, Renming Palace, King Duan, and King Lu will inevitably find loopholes in the departure and stay of the mausoleum guards. Renming Palace may have crossed the river and headed north, and King Jing, whose reputation is unparalleled, has nothing to do, but Yue Yue
In this way, it becomes harder and harder for them to escape the wrath and blows of Renming Palace.
Even if they can put all the blame on King Jing, an evaluation of "incompetence allowed King Jing to become powerful" is destined to at least be swept into a corner where no one cares about them and spend the rest of their lives.
However, the other way around, if King Jing Zhao Tuan wanted to fight for the heir, then it was unlikely that he would catch the captive soldier Tie Luanmang when he crossed the river. His intention was to build up his reputation and power, and become the leader of the main war faction in the court.
If they followed across the river and stayed by King Jing's side, it wouldn't actually be too dangerous.
If King Jing succeeds in his fight for the heir, then they will be following the dragon!
Only then did Qiao Jien suddenly realize that Deng Gui, Hu Yu, Yang Qiye and others were all guest generals who came to Gongxian for reinforcements under Hu Kai's order. They could refuse to obey King Jing's order, so why did they follow him so readily?
cross
Up in Hebei?
Not to mention that Xu Huai also transferred hundreds of fine cavalry from Chushan without permission in the name of rural soldiers...
After all, these are all smart people, and even Zheng Huaizhong's counselors can see clearly.
However, he blinded his eyes with chicken shit and blinded his mind with lard, and he didn't even think about it until now.
After thinking about this, Qiao Jien pulled Chen Yougui, Gu Dajun and others, and rushed to Maojin Ferry to repair the situation. The repair of the imperial mausoleum was also left to Luoyang Mansion at this juncture, and the relationship with Zhou He, Wu Wenche and others was ruined.
, the tomb-guarding army was dragged away by King Jing Zhao Tuan again, and they could not raise money or food. The workers who repaired the imperial tomb were all left to Wu Wenche (Luoyang Prefecture), but Luoyang Prefecture did not dare to do nothing.
King Jing looked at the vast river and sky in the distance with emotion, his expression was a little dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses, and hurried forward to help Qiao Jien and others up from the wetland, and said: "Sir Qiao, General Chen
Please get up quickly, Zhao Tuan cannot bear this gift to save the world from danger, everyone has a responsibility, and we have no shirk, but guarding the imperial mausoleum is not an easy task..."
"Your Highness, please allow me to serve you in front of me and behind my back! Your Highness does not agree, sir... Sir, I will kneel here and not get up!" Qiao Jien struggled and refused to get up.
"This is coquettish! Even at his age, he is not afraid to shake goosebumps!" Xiao Yanhan stood next to Xu Huai and complained in a low voice.
Seeing Xiao Yanhan spit out what he wanted to complain about first, Xu Huai raised his foot and kicked her.
"I promise you, Sir Qiao, get up quickly, be careful not to get your robe wet and catch the wind and cold." With the help of Qian Shangduan, King Jing Zhao Tuan helped Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui and others up to talk.
In order to ensure the purity of Chushan, Xu Huai could not be interested in speculators such as Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui, but the situation of King Jing Zhao Tuan was different.
A handwritten letter from King Jing Zhao Tuan was sent to Caizhou, but Hu Kai remained silent from beginning to end. Xu Huai transferred 800 elite cavalry from Chushan in the name of local soldiers, but Hu Kai did not stop him. When he asked Hu Yu, Yang Qiye responded to crossing the river.
In their attitude, they only expressed that they had been ordered to assist Gong County before, and the Caizhou Defense Envoy ordered them to obey the orders of King Jing Zhao Tuan. Until new orders came, they still obeyed the military orders of King Jing Zhao Tuan.
Don't think about it.
As a high-ranking official in the feudal territory, it can be said that Hu Kai is so insistent on King Jing Zhao Tuan, which can be said to be extremely rare. However, King Jing Zhao Tuan still lacks manpower around him who can directly dispatch him. In other words, King Jing Zhao Tuan's direct lineage is still weak.
Very weak.
Now Hu Yu and Zhu Tong are serving as officials under King Zhao Tuan of Jing Dynasty. However, Qiao Jien did not cooperate in everything before, and the subordinate officials under the Tomb Guarding Envoy Department did not cooperate in military affairs. Qian Shangduan took Hu Yu, Zhu Tong and others, every day
With a panda's eyes, dealing with the food, drink, and diarrhea of three thousand people, I just regret that I have no skills at all times.
Leading soldiers and horses has never been as simple as charging into battle.
To feed, drink, and eat three thousand men and horses requires a strict logistics system to ensure strong combat effectiveness.
In the past, in Gong County, grain, fodder and other supplies relied on the Luoyang Prefecture. Qian Shangduan only needed to be responsible for the distribution among the battalions. But if he was carrying a small amount of supplies across the river, don't expect Zhou He, Wu Wenche and others to provide logistics support.
After crossing the river, they needed to collect grain and other combat supplies from the unbroken cities along the Fen River.
Negotiations with local governments, counting, handing over, transporting, and distributing grain and other trivial matters cannot be left to Zhang Xin and Yu.
With Gong and other commanders in charge, Qian Shangduan really wished he could have three heads and six arms.
King Jing Zhao Tuan is short of people around him.
Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui and the others have now figured it out. How could King Jing turn them away if they bring people to submit?
Having lost their military power before, Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui were resentful, and together with the officials attached to the mausoleum guarding envoys and a group of envoys who hindered Zhang Xin, Han Wende, Yu Gong and others from controlling the mausoleum guarding army, all the generals were killed by King Jing.
Zhao Tuan kicked him aside and sat on the bench.
Even though not everyone was enlightened at this time, Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui still crossed the river with more than 20 direct relatives to surrender.
Now that a new situation has arisen, King Jing Zhao Tuan ordered the rear camp to continue crossing the river and called Xu Huai over to discuss a proper strategy.
Xu Huai suggested that one of Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui should stay in Gong County.
Previously, Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui strongly opposed crossing the river and chose to stay in Gong County. Xu Huai didn't think that after their relationship with Zhou He, Miao Yanxiong, Qiao Jien, and Chen Yougui had gone sour, they forcibly led the main force of the mausoleum guarding army to cross the river.
What influence does the reservation have in Gong County?
Therefore, I had not expected Luoyang to provide any logistical support before, so I considered that after crossing the river, everything including logistical supplies would be solved on the spot.
Things are different now.
Both Qiao Jien and Chen Yougui were willing to comply, which meant that King Jing Zhao Tuan could continue to act in the name of the mausoleum guard.
This will bring great convenience, including continuing to recruit Jian Rui on the northwest road of Beijing to supplement the reserve troops for the mausoleum guarding army. It can also withdraw the wounded soldiers to the camp at the northern foot of Yehuang Ridge to recuperate. At the same time, it can also be used to guard the mausoleum.
In the name of the envoy, he raised supplies such as grain, fodder, carriages and horses from the local area to supplement the consumption of the front line.
Righteousness is not just a matter of talk. It means being able to quickly handle various intricate relationships and ensure the efficient operation of money, food and materials. Without this, after the tomb-defending army crossed the river, they did not find a foundation that they could rely on. Many
Things will be extremely difficult and troublesome.
There are many cowards in Dai Viet and the DPRK, but there is no lack of bloody resistance among the people.
Xu Huai predicted that after King Jing Zhao Tuan crossed the river, the news would spread, which might attract some civilian armed forces (rural soldiers) to cross the river and surrender. This would also require the mausoleum guard to stay in Gong County and other places to make proper arrangements.
Another one is that King Jing Zhao Tuan took away all the soldiers and horses guarding the mausoleum and the mausoleum guarding envoys, and threw the imperial mausoleums of the ancestors of the Zhao family to the locals. Even if the situation was urgent, it was easy in the world where filial piety was the first priority.
Criticized by the world.
After final discussion, Qiao Jien, who was originally an eunuch and was better at political affairs, stayed with King Jing Zhao Tuan to assist King Jing Zhao Tuan and Qian Shangduan in handling various tedious affairs. The dozens of servants brought by Qiao Jien also
Du allowed him to enter the camp; he arranged for Chen Yougui to take some of his subordinates, and the soldiers returned to Gong County to continue to take charge of the mausoleum guarding department and the camp at the northern foot of Yehuang Mountain...
Chen Yougui was unwilling in every possible way.
No matter how you look at it at this time, it is safer to stay with King Jing Zhao Tuan instead of going back to Gong County to deal with Zhou He, Miao Yanxiong, Zheng Huaizhong and others, and to meet the court who may be held accountable like thunder.
In the end, it was King Jing Zhao Tuan who promised in every possible way that he would take care of everything, and also kept Chen Yougui's eldest son Chen Xi and Gu Dajun by his side to serve as bodyguards, and finally persuaded Chen Yougui to stay...
