Yuan Xiangxian stood up angrily after the case, pointed at Huangfu Jun who was sitting in the hall, and said sternly: "Who asked you to send troops? Who gave you the courage to do so? Do you still have such a thing in your eyes? You
Do you still have the prince in your eyes?"
Huangfu Jun raised his neck, looked straight, put his hands in front of his knees, and said respectfully and resolutely: "This is Lu Long's provocation. Our army has no choice but to fight back. It is not a deliberate disobedience, and it must not be contemptuous."
As the prince wishes, I also ask Yuan Zhao to appease his anger."
"Forced? Counterattack? Where did Lulong's army force you? What are you, Weibo, fighting back against? Since the Shenzhou Mutual Trade, not a single soldier of Lulong has invaded the border, and has successively sold nearly a hundred of our army's war horses, and the rest
There are hundreds of troops and horses, but has there ever been any provocation? Huangfu Jun, could it be that he is trying to trick Yuan into not knowing how to fight?"
Calling people by their names in front of them was meant to be humiliating, which showed that Yuan Xiangxian, who had always been gentle, had reached the extreme level of anger, and it also deeply hurt Huangfu Jun's self-esteem. Huangfu Jun stood up from his seat, put his hand on the scabbard on his waist, and looked directly at Yuan Xiangxian.
, his eyes were red, and his voice was low: "Yuan's son, could it be that I don't dare to kill someone?"
After all, Yuan Xiangxian was not a general who was going to kill someone. He was startled by Huangfu Jun's sudden figure. Although he couldn't save his face, he still said forcefully: "Do you, Wei Bo, want to rebel?" But he couldn't help but take a step back and lean on him.
The chair fell to the ground.
The Yuan's staff on the side were also frightened. Now they recovered and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Huangfu Jun's shame and anger were immediately awakened by Yuan Xiangxian's words. He took a deep breath and understood that he could not offend the other party for the time being, so he took two steps back, glanced at Yuan Xiangxian contemptuously, and said, "Supreme, shortcomings and tricks."
". Turn around and step out.
Yuan Xiang's lips trembled first. When Huangfu Jun left the hall, Fang pointed at his back and said to his staff: "Rebellion! Rebel! Look, does he want to rebel?"
The staff scolded Huangfu Jun in response, and then comforted him: "Huangfu's son is Wei Bo's son. People on Weibo have been rebellious since they were children. This matter is known to the whole world. There is no need to be angry with him. Don't be in the same relationship with him." As he said this,
, while turning the chair up.
Yuan Xiang sat down first. He put his hands on his forehead and sighed: "What's the best now? The two armies are fighting and the situation in Hebei is tense. I'm afraid it will ruin the prince's plan. Furthermore, if the Shenzhou Mutual Market is closed, we will no longer be able to buy horses.
The way, this, this, this. Huangfu’s son is really not a son of a man!”
Of course, the staff knew that Yuan Xiangxian's biggest concern was the closure of the mutual market. Since September, Yuan had sold a large amount of goods through the mutual market. The purchased furs, old ginseng, velvet antlers and other specialties from outside China were sold out and sold in Bianzhou, Songzhou and other places.
After making huge profits, the horses he bought were sent to Bianzhou. They were also encouraged by Xuanwu's right servant She and Taifu Qing Jingxiang. A mutual market allowed Yuan Xiang to gain both fame and fortune. How could it be closed down like this?
It’s not a huge loss!
"Wei Bo sent troops without authorization, and it is Huangfu's fault. However, the task of recruiting the envoy is to stabilize Hebei. I'm afraid he will inevitably suffer consequences. If the prime minister knows about this, he may transfer the envoy..." The staff analyzed.
It was very reasonable, and Yuan Xiang couldn't help but panic.
Yuan Xiang was really reluctant to part with the huge profits from the Shenzhou Mutual Market. Seeing that the business was getting bigger and bigger, he was unwilling to be transferred, so he asked his staff for advice.
The staff proposed a plan and said: "For the current plan, there should be two ways. One is to make things easier, and the other is to block the way."
"How to say it?"
"The envoys can no longer sit down in court and impose inaction. They should send people to contact Youzhou proactively, state the original intention of the envoys, and implicitly show their goodwill. Let Youzhou know that this matter was not done by the envoys.
Please rest assured in Youzhou, Wei Bo’s sending troops is not Xuanwu’s intention, we Xuanwu still hope that Hebei can be stabilized.”
"That's right, that's right! He is responsible for the trouble caused by Huangfu's son. We can't take the responsibility for him if we recruit the troops. Hebei must not be in chaos or expand the war. It must be stable. It must be stable! Well, for Li
Jiedu said that the Shenzhou Mutual Market should be opened and business should be carried out, and the friendship between the two should not be disrupted because of this incident." Yuan Xiangxian has always been thinking about the Shenzhou Mutual Market.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xiang asked his staff to polish it first. He wanted to repair the book immediately and send it to Youzhou.
The staff immediately stopped him: "You must not repair books!"
Yuan Xiang first patted his forehead: "That's right, I've had a misunderstanding." He also lost his sense of proportion. Only then did he realize that this kind of thing could not fall into black and white words on yellow paper, and said: "Then you have to work harder.
, go to Youzhou on behalf of someone."
The staff immediately agreed.
Yuan Xiang is a veteran in business, so he naturally understands that only with input can there be output. He sent his staff to Youzhou dryly, talking empty words. Why should people believe him? He frowned and thought carefully for a moment, and a poisonous plan emerged.
He thought: "Isn't Huangfu son going to send troops from Weizhou himself? Wait for two days to find out the specific circumstances of his sending troops, and then inform Li Jiedu to show Yuan's sincerity!"
The staff agreed, and Yuan Xiangxian continued: "You just said there are two ways, what about the second way?"
The staff member rolled his eyes, closed the hall door, and turned back and whispered: "Didn't the envoy drag Jiang into the Shenzhou Mutual Market? I heard that Jiang was ambitious and had prepared a large amount of goods to be sold on the mutual market.
If the Shenzhou Mutual Market is closed, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek's soldiers and horses will be equally heartbroken. The envoys have turned against Huangfu'er, and in order to prevent Huangfu'er's fall, Chiang's soldiers and horses must be invited to come forward and block the Pu'er border."
Yuan Xiang felt his heart pounding when he heard it. He bit his lip and thought for a long time. After a while, he said, "Is it... too big a fuss?"
The staff said: "The Shenzhou Mutual Market is an important way for us to buy horses. The recruiting envoys have done a lot for us to declare war. This is an undeniable fact. But on the other hand, we also sold a large amount of grain through the mutual market. If Huangfu'er
If we focus on this point to frame him and accuse him, I'm afraid the trouble will be huge."
Not only was the trouble a minor one, Yuan Xiang was not blind. He knew exactly where the grain sold in the mutual market went. Some of the grain and cloth were taken directly to Hengzhou in the northwest by merchants. I heard that Wang Chuzhi had already
Lulong merchants were tacitly allowed to repair official roads in Yiwu. The destination of these materials was already quite clear, which was Hedong!
In the face of great interests, Yuan Xiang turned a blind eye to this at first, but if Huangfu Jun really took this matter to task and reported it to Bianzhou Jingxiang, to Yuan, this would be slandering the enemy, and it would definitely be a crime.
Big trouble.
All kinds of thoughts ran through Yuan Xiangxian's mind, and he immediately made a choice and agreed to the advice of his staff.
There are two roads from Weibo to Bianzhou. The east road passes through Dunqiu and goes south to Puzhou, then to Caozhou, and then goes west along the Bianhe River waterway to Bianzhou; the west road goes south through Neihuang and passes through Huazhou to reach Bianzhou.
Prefecture. If you want to block the news, it is absolutely not enough to rely on Yuan Xiang to recruit more than a thousand soldiers from Xingyuan headquarters first. He can send at most 500 people to blockade Neihuang. Therefore, contacting Bianzhou soldiers and horses makes Jiang Xuanhui a must.
Jiang Xuanhui was the military envoy of Bianzhou, and was also in charge of the military affairs of Pu and Hua. He was the right person to block the news, and the actions of blocking Pu and Hua could be covered up for various legitimate reasons and would not arouse Bianzhou's suspicion.
Yuan Xiangxian couldn't help but feel deeply that he was good at making friends, and at the same time lamented that he was doing well. If he had gone it alone in order to monopolize the huge profits of the Shenzhou Mutual Market, he would not have been able to handle such a big thing. Fortunately, he pulled Jiang Xuanhui down.
If something happened, it would be impossible for Mr. Jiang to just sit back and watch.
In fact, Jiang Xuanhui has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Not only is he the military envoy of Bianzhou, but he is also in charge of not only the Pu and Hua soldiers, but also the Caozhou soldiers. He is responsible for the safety of the entire north and east of Bianzhou.
The reason why this kind of overweighting of powers and responsibilities occurs is due to the Xuanwu Army's pattern of emphasizing external affairs and neglecting internal affairs.
Xuanwu's main force was concentrated in two directions. One was in the Hezhong area in the northwest, where Ge Congzhou, Zhang Cunjing, He Delun, and Zhang Guihou's group blocked the south of Hedong; the other was farther west in the direction of Shaanzhou, where Zhu Quanzhong personally took charge of Jinzhou.
, Zhu Youning, Shi Shucong, Hou Yan's group mainly attacked Jinzhou, Kang Huaiying, and Yang Shihou's group besieged Fengxiang. As for other aspects, they also had to guard against Wang Shifan, the Jiedushi envoy of Zhenqing, who was about to make a move, and Yang Xingmi, who was becoming more and more powerful in Huainan, so Xuanwu
The military hinterland is almost deserted.
Now that the war in Jinzhou is getting more and more intense, even the last two fierce generals guarding the Kaifeng Palace, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu, led Yuan Cong's army and Tingzi respectively to rush to Jinzhou.
The two armies, Yuancong Qinjun and Tingzidu, were both Zhu Quanzhong's bodyguards and Qinjun. They were the top-ranked tooth soldiers in the Xuanwu Army and were the first elite soldiers in the army. In the time and space that Li Chengzhong traveled through, these two soldiers
This army was the prototype of the famous Guard Division and Palace Division from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.
Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yanqiu were both fierce generals in the Xuanwu Army. They commanded the Yuancong Qinjun and Tingzidu respectively. Even these two armies were transferred away from Bianzhou, which shows how empty the hinterland of Xuanwu was.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xuanhui took on the important task of taking over the responsibility of guarding the east and north directions of Bianzhou. Of course, this also shows how much he won Zhu Quanzhong's new appointment.
Jiang Xuanhui loved money. He had suffered from poverty since he was a child, and after he rose to prominence, he became extremely fanatical about property. It was this personality that made him and Yuan Xiangxian have a bad rapport, and he was dragged into the quagmire of the Shenzhou Mutual Market.
After receiving Yuan Xiangxian's letter, Jiang Xuanhui also became nervous. He understood better than Yuan Xiangxian how deep the prince's resentment towards Hedong was, and therefore knew more clearly how serious the consequences would be if the matter was exposed. Under his order, not only Puzhou, but also
Huazhou began to seal the border. Even Caozhou was loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Especially on the Bian River, inspections were strict.
This situation lasted until the end of November. Caozhou soldiers and Huazhou soldiers captured two messengers sent by Huangfu Jun in Yuanju and Linchang respectively. Jiang Xuanhui immediately ordered a secret execution and burned the documents found.
At this time, Jiang Xuanhui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sent a letter to Yuan Xiangxian, reassuring him that everything was fine on his side.
Although the matter was settled for the time being, Jiang Xuanhui was also frightened. In a secret letter, he made an almost command-like suggestion to Yuan Xiangxian that Huangfu Jun must die! (To be continued...)
