What to do? No matter what, it’s hard to do. The people in the audience had sad faces and fell into silence again. They were Yang Guozhong’s minions, secretly building momentum for the Dawan Governor’s Office. Everyone could see this clearly. As for Yang Guozhong’s plan to send troops to Dawan
Everyone knew who Mara was returning to the capital to threaten. But the difficulty of this matter was that Yang Guozhong did not use the conspiracy and tricks that he had always been good at this time, but an upright plot. Step by step, he forced him over.
It's completely powerless to stop.
The record of the Dawan Dudufu is obvious and no one can erase it. The fact that An Lushan led the rebels all the way from Hebei to Henan is invincible is also a fact that cannot be concealed. At this critical moment, the people need a hero to place their hopes on.
, the princes and nobles need a hero to stop the rebels for them, and the old man in the palace probably needs a hero to restore his little dignity.
All kinds of factors combined, it is almost certain that the imperial court will transfer the governor of Dawan, Wang Xun, to lead his troops into the guard. In the past two days, the Gyeonggi Province Yamen, Jingzhao Yin Yamen, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Culture have all been making moves.
Submit a seal to complain about the lack of defense in the capital. The Li family, which rarely interferes with the government's affairs, constantly has people entering and exiting the Taiji Palace with carriages, urging the emperor to make an early decision. According to reliable information, the emperor has already decided to temporarily abandon the Western Regions.
He was just waiting for someone to take the initiative to propose this advice to him. It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince was also weighing the pros and cons of sending the Dawan Army back to defend the capital.
"Unless Wang Mingyun is the same as Ge Shuhan half a year ago, he became paralyzed by drinking on the way!" Someone in the shadow suddenly said in a very low voice.
Ge Shuhan, the governor of Hexi Province, had two great loves in his life, wine and beauties. Even when he was marching and fighting, he would play music every night in his tent. As a result, he was unlucky with these two hobbies. At the beginning of the year, he was ordered to return to the capital.
Discussing the military situation, he accidentally got a stunning singer from Hu Shang on the way. So he was so full of love that he and the singer hid in a felt cart pulled by eight pure white camels to "wine and talk happily".
When he reached the outskirts of Chang'an, he suddenly suffered a stroke and fell into coma for several days. He barely managed to save his life under the treatment of the imperial doctor. From then on, his legs were completely disabled and he could no longer mount a war horse or hold a woman.
This is not surprising in the first place. Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones. People who are addicted to wine and sex will most likely not end up with a happy ending. But as luck would have it, Ge Shuhan drank something along the way.
The wine was also offered by the same Hu merchant. After interrogation, the singer confessed that Hu merchant bought her from Yangzhou two years ago for half a bucket of pearls, and was immediately imprisoned in Lanzhou city by the Hu merchant.
Living in a big house, I have only met the latter a handful of times in the past two years. It was not until the beginning of this year that I was suddenly called out of the house and slowly rushed to Liangzhou with the caravan. As for the origin of Hu Shang?
Where or who else is in the house, the singer has no idea. Someone sent people to Lanzhou overnight to search the yard that the singer mentioned. When they arrived, they came up empty-handed and couldn't find even a single clue.
The veteran general who was worshiped as the king of Xiping County and had hundreds of thousands of troops was actually poisoned to the point of being paralyzed on his way back to the capital to meet the saint. The court was deeply ashamed of this incident. It was only announced to the outside world that Ge Shuhan was tired from the journey.
He caught a wind in the bath. Secretly, he cast a dragnet, vowing to catch the poisoned Hu Shang. However, almost ten months have passed, and there is still no trace of the murderer. But An Lushan, who has always been at odds with Ge Shuhan,
Suddenly a counter-flag was raised in Fan Yang.
Now it seems that the person who sent Hu Shang to poison Ge Shuhan must be An Lushan. Only he has a clear understanding of Ge Shuhan's hobby and temperament. Only he knows when the imperial court will adjust the suppression.
Returning to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit. The scary thing is that the whole plan was almost seamless, and in order to remove Ge Shuhan, the Jiedu envoy closest to the capital, An Lushan prepared for two years in advance!
What kind of means and thoughts are this! If you use this kind of means and thoughts to deal with your enemies, why worry about not being able to get rid of them?! The only regret is that it is a bit too late to target Wang Xun at this moment. It is not possible at all
Perhaps the solution we are facing is urgent. Moreover, even if we are lucky enough to succeed, the passive situation we will face will not be completely changed. Yu Wenzhi and Song Wu are closer to Yang Guozhong, and there is no restriction from Wang Xun, their immediate boss.
, maybe, the two of them will directly draw the entire Dawan Army to Yang Guozhong's command.
"We should have put people around him earlier!"
"Earlier, who could have imagined that this kid would rise so quickly?!"
"Pity!"
"It's a pity indeed!"
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the ferocious faces of the diners. They sent someone to poison and kill Wang Xun in the middle of the road. This method obviously didn't work. But at least, the atmosphere in the seat was aroused. Some people spoke one after another, from all angles.
, analyzed the possibility of destroying the uncontrollable force of the Dawan Governor's Mansion, but one after another found that this road was difficult to take.
"What if Feng Changqing can be forced to take the initiative and contain the rebel offensive?!" After finding that it was difficult to find a solution from Wang Xun himself, someone suggested to settle for the next best thing.
"Hey!" The companions immediately sneered, "Feng Changqing, with the few remaining soldiers in his hands, he can defeat the generals. It's good if he can hold Mianchi on the front line."
"But as long as he can win once, even if he simply relies on danger, it will prove that the rebels cannot threaten Chang'an for a while. Then the adults will..."
Then, this unexpected victory can be interpreted from various angles. For the sake of the soldiers on the front line of the Western Regions, the territory they worked so hard to win should not be given away. For the sake of the imperial court, it should not be demolished.
The west wall complements the east wall, and it seems that the east wall can still hold up for a few more days. For the sake of the people, moving troops thousands of miles away will make people panic, and just providing food and grass supplies to the army along the way will make the local people complain...
…
"I think this is feasible. Even if Feng Changqing and An Lushan's vanguard troops can draw, it will be a good news for the court!" In places where the candlelight could not illuminate, there were people whispering in agreement one after another.
The Tang Dynasty court needed a victory against the rebels so much. The morale of the people, the morale of the military, and the dignity of the court were all on the verge of collapse. Even if they had a slight upper hand, even if they only defeated a small number of the rebels,
It is enough for the government and the public to celebrate.
"There is no need for a tie, as long as he prevents the rebel forwards from crossing Mount Wei, Bian Lao can report the victory to the court!" If there is no record, we must create a record. Otherwise, everyone will be in an even more difficult situation.
There are not many hurdles that need to be cleared, and Feng Changqing is probably the only obstacle. "What if Feng Changqing himself doesn't admit that he won the battle? That guy has always been old-fashioned!" someone asked with a frown.
As long as you dare to think about it, you can definitely think of a way. Especially for dealing with a magnanimous gentleman like Feng Changqing. "If he doesn't admit it, he is just making excuses for passively avoiding war in the future. He spread similar words to His Majesty's ears,
Naturally, someone from the DPRK will go down to verify it. And the result of the verification will definitely make everyone happy!!"
"It's just that Feng Changqing got the better of him again! He got another military exploit for nothing!"
"It's better than letting Yang Guozhong succeed!"
"indeed so!"
"indeed so!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, their faces full of wisdom.
Before the imperial court makes a formal decision, let Feng Changqing send back a good news. This is probably the most feasible way to change the passive situation at the moment. Although this move feels a bit muddled, it can at least give a few people in the palace some peace of mind.
Didn't these adults gain some time to make plans calmly? As long as the time is not so rushed, it is not easy for several adults to join forces to suppress a rising star with no foundation!
The more everyone talked, the smoother their ideas became, and soon they came up with a set of practical plans based on their own strength. In this plan, the performance of Wang Xun and others was no longer important, and Yang Guozhong's hard work was destined to be in vain.
Even Feng Changqing has completely become a chess piece, letting the big hands on the chessboard play with it. He must move however he is told, and he must fight against the holder of the chess piece unless he is taken off the chessboard.
"School!" A chess piece made of black jade fell on the emerald chessboard, aggressively.
This is a courtyard near the southwest corner of Chang'an City. From the appearance to the interior decoration, it is very simple. However, the clothes worn by the players are incompatible with the simplicity of the surroundings.
The whole chess game is coming to an end. The black and white sides are entangled with each other and seem to be evenly matched. However, the white side is in a state of misery due to intermittent positions and lack of follow-up. It is forced by the black pieces.
The only way is to draw another breath from the corner, but that's not easy. Black's just a casual attack cut off White's hope, and he can only struggle to deal with the endgame.
"My lord is so good at chess, but I am so inferior to you!" The white man thought hard and couldn't find a way to save it, so he had to smile, raise his head, and admit defeat.
"This game is a draw. How about another game between you and me?!" The person holding the black piece was still not satisfied. He stretched out his hand to stir up the chessboard and suggested with a smile.
"I won't come, I won't come. No matter how many rounds I come, I will still lose. There is no hope of winning at all!"
"You, Magistrate Xue, almost entered the Hanlin Academy to serve as a chess minister. How come you have lost so much in your skills after not seeing each other for several years?"
"What you have learned is the King's Sword. How can Xue's little skill be able to withstand it?!" The white-wielding man raised his face, and the exhaustion in his eyes was illuminated by the candlelight. He won the chess piece of the most popular counselor around the prince.
, Do you still want your future? In order to lose without leaving a trace, you have tried your best. If there is another game, I am afraid that I will vomit blood and die before the game is over.
"Hahahaha..." The black man was so comfortable being photographed that he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh. After laughing enough, he shook his head and whispered: "Master Xue is really good at talking. No wonder His Highness has mentioned Xue Jingxian every time lately.
These three words are full of praise."
"Your Highness is so kind to you. Even if Xue is shattered to pieces, he will not be able to repay even one or two of them!" Xue Jingxian quickly stood up and held his hands in the direction of the East Palace. Ever since he returned from the Anxi Army with great honors, he has completely become the direct descendant of Prince Li Heng.
Although the actual official position is still that of county magistrate, his future future is more than a hundred times better than his first.
"Okay, there are only you and me here, don't be so exaggerated!" The black man smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Xue Jingxian's statement. "Let's get down to business, what happened to your friendship with the generals of the Dawan Dudu Mansion back then?
How far can it go?!"
"Wow!" Xue Jingxian, who was hastily recalled to Chang'an, was unprepared. His body stiffened when he was asked, his sleeves were hanging on the corners of the chessboard, and black and white pieces were scattered all over the floor.
