Lu Haowen didn't get the support he deserved, which made him panic. However, the palace was full of elites from the Song Dynasty, and there were always people who understood.
For example, take Academician Xiaolin, who has not spoken to the court for a long time.
After the Xiangyang incident, this Hanlin scholar had no desire to express these things due to various reasons, but he knew very well what was going on.
To put it bluntly, the crisis in Nanyang has been temporarily lifted. Whether the official family stays in Nanyang or goes to Xiangyang does not seem to be a choice related to wealth, life and the future of the country, but presents an ambiguous situation. So in this case
, everyone can put aside national interests and discuss issues from a personal standpoint.
Generally speaking, it is probably the half of the central officials who stayed in Nanyang who did not want the honor and political capital brought by this battle to be diluted and shared by the half of their colleagues in Xiangyang... They felt that the results of the previous fifteen days
They were the ones who persevered under huge pressure, and they contributed to the victory.
Why should the officials go to Xiangyang after Nanyang was defended?
Why was it that they were the ones who used to be the ones who used to get hot water and live in collective housing, but in the end, the credit for this battle was added to five, and the political resources that should have been exclusively occupied by this group of people were divided by others?
And to be honest, as long as the civil servants in the palace have some connotations, if they really want Wang De and Fu Qing, who have participated in many bloody battles under the city last month and performed well, to speak out, they will most likely not say anything and only want to kill them secretly.
The messenger from Xiangyang was not allowed to be seen by the officials! That is to say, a pampered Yamen like Xin Yongzong would take the opportunity to curse and ridicule Zhang Jing and Qiao Zhongfu. Who dares to take credit at this time?
Of course, if it were to find his two brothers, that would be acceptable.
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Haowen, as prime minister, could not be promoted, and he also wanted to be a court decorator. He had no need at all for military exploits or qualifications, so he was confused for a while and didn't understand.
It’s just what everyone means.
And if it comes to the specific reasons why the original supporters rebelled, such as Li Ruopu and Li Guang:
Among them, Li Ruopu, a Hanlin scholar, was Li Ruoshui's younger brother. He agreed at the time because of the overall interests, but since there was no interest at stake at this time, he would never take the initiative to ask the officials to back off.
As for Li Guang, after the communication was restored, the previously accumulated news from the southeast came from the south of Xiangyang, giving people a rough idea of the situation in the southeast... It turned out that the long delay of the rebellion in the southeast was directly caused by Li Gang!
Let us also say that after Wang Yi rebelled, Li Boji was worried that the generals of the Imperial Army's rear army would be closely related to Wang Yi when he was suppressing the rebellion, so he temporarily changed generals and chose a veteran general who had been living in the southeast for decades. He was the Yueyang Army general.
Jiedu envoy Wang Shunchen came to serve as the frontline commander and take charge of the war in Jiangning.
However, Wang Shunchen was naturally a famous general in the Western Army when he was young, and he had extraordinary performance on the battlefield, but that was all decades ago. Later, his daughter married the Taojun Taishang Emperor, and the two
As one of the royal concubines (all of whom have gone north), he can be promoted to Jiedushi and enjoy wealth and honor... In short, this person has been living in a prosperous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River for decades, so how can he still have the slightest capital to become a general?
Who can convince him?
In fact, the reason why the second rebellion broke out at that time was because there were rumors in the army that the imperial camp rear army appointed Yang Laotaiwei, the commander of the imperial camp, as the chief general of Yangzhou to protect the empress dowager, and Wang Shunchen as the chief general of the Jiangnan front line, Li Gang
Li Xianggong looked down on young generals and wanted to use old men as generals to clean up the situation... Therefore, the counter-rebel army mutinied halfway under the leadership of a group of hardcore officers, and Wang Shunchen could only escape in embarrassment under the escort of Xin Yanzong
Yangzhou.
So at this time, Li Guang is a man who keeps his word, so how can he dare to stand up and go against the wishes of a colleague like Nanyang, and make an enemy for Mr. Li for nothing?
how to say?
This kind of thing has nothing to do with morality, and has no real harm. It is basically human nature. However, for Academician Xiao Lin, who had just withdrawn his eyes from Li Guang, he always felt that there was such an indescribable sense of boredom...
Because it makes no sense.
Moreover, Bachelor Xiaolin can be sure that the Zhao Guan family is also tired of having to face these things.
"What the Prime Minister said is a bit outdated." In the cold atmosphere, the one who could oppose Lu Xianggong so easily was naturally another Lu Xianggong. Lu Yihao put his hands together without blinking.
In addition, the situation in Tokyo and Huaixi is still unclear. If the stalemate on the front line is still ongoing, the official residence in Nanyang can always calm the people on the front line a little bit, right?"
Lu Haowen was startled when he heard this, but then smiled awkwardly: "I was too impatient. Let's wait until the situation becomes clearer."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yihao did not pursue and fight fiercely. Instead, he nodded slightly: "That's exactly what I meant. Let's wait until the situation is clear before we discuss this matter!"
The two princes reached an agreement and forcibly put an end to the matter. The officials did not say anything, and the palace fell silent again. They talked about city defense, supplies, and achievements before leaving.
However, this delay was destined not to last long. Just a few days later, as the Jin Army intentionally or unintentionally further relaxed the communication from outside Nanyang City to the city, Zhao Guanjia finally learned the frontline military information he had been waiting for for a long time. All parties involved
There are them from all sides, from southeast to northwest.
But to be honest... the situation is not very good, or it might as well be said to be very bad.
First of all, although the cities between the five rivers (Yingshui, Jishui, Lishui, Shangshui, and Rushui) were besieged in a scattered manner, which meant that the number of Jin troops besieging the cities was not large, but most of the previous
Within a month, there was still a fall - Wuyang City, the smallest city, was destroyed by the Jin army Pucha Hubalu. The guard Li Bao, nicknamed sick Guansuo, tried to break out after the city was broken. Now he is not sure whether he is alive or dead. Some people
It is said that he has died for his country, but some people say that he fled to Ye County, Ruzhou and became a bandit.
But no matter what, there are only six or seven cities, and now two have been lost, and Wanyan Talan's troops there have not been much consumed. In other words, every time a city is lost, the pressure on the other cities will further increase.
, and then it becomes more and more dangerous... It doesn't hurt to say that the place there is in danger.
What's more, there is still the most important Han Shizhong in Changshe, and it is difficult to communicate at all.
In addition, Wuguan Xinxingzong also promptly sent him information about the battle situation in Kansai, which was even more bad news.
The Jinning Army, which had become desperate, was also captured. This was expected, but what was particularly hard to let go was that when the defender Xu Huiyan was escorted to Wanyan Lou's army and was brutally executed, he gave
The reason is that it is disrespectful to surrender the general!
At the same time, although Qu Duan expressed his obedience to Yu Wenxuzhong's envoy, he still refused to listen to the military orders of his superior Wang Xie after sending troops. Both parties kept sending documents to Yu Wenxuzhong to file a lawsuit. One said that the other
He refused to obey the order, and the other said that the other party was incapable of harming the country, and did not care at all that Wanyan Lou's troops were steady and fast. Now they have occupied three states, one government and one army in northern Shaanxi, and they have freed up their hands, so they no longer have to worry about anything!
Of course, it is not that there is no good news. Li Yanxian of Shaanzhou sent people to report by detour to Wuguan. It probably means that if the main force of the Jin Army's West Route Army does not come to Shaanzhou next, he can give up the newly recovered territory in Hebei and try to attract more people.
Part of the Hebei rebels and Shaanzhou troops went to support other places.
Finally, there is the most important city of Tokyo. Compared with the clear military situation in other places, this fatal main battlefield has a somewhat unclear meaning.
First of all, Tokyo did not turn the corner because of the strategic deviation of the main force of the Jin army. This was mainly because the Jin army strangled three strategic points - Ali and Puluhun were in Nanjing; Wanyan Nianhan personally took charge of Daming Mansion and controlled thousands of households
Danghai continued to besiege Huazhou; Wanyan Talan did not forget to dedicate a main force of Wanhu to strangle Zhongmou.
Zhongmu is in the west of Tokyo, Nanjing is in the southeast of Tokyo, and Damingfu and Huazhou are in the north of Tokyo. Trapped on three sides, Tokyo is still unable to move.
But there hasn't been any big progress.
So it is true to say that there is an impasse there.
However, the real troubles and problems in Tokyo City do not lie in the gains and losses of these cities.
By the way, not long after the war started, a rumor spread on the front line - it was said that Zongze, who was left behind in Tokyo, had already run out of fuel and was aging and dying. Therefore, he had been relied on as the main force before, and his core strength should be no less than 100,000.
Only the soldiers and horses left behind in Tokyo would lose control and fight independently. As a result, they were defeated by Wanyan Wushu and quickly lost the city and territory.
But recently, this news has become more and more confusing... Some people are sure that it is a rumor, while others say that Zongze is indeed dead, or at least is terminally ill and unable to command the troops.
It is said to be a rumor, but it is said that Yue Fei, the governor of Jezhou, took advantage of Wanyan Wushu's great shift in the world to successfully lead troops to break through the defense line and enter Tokyo. However, since he entered Tokyo, he has been attacking from all sides.
To the west, he fought against Yelu Mawu of Zhongmu, winning two out of three battles; to the north, he supported Huazhou, rescuing the deputy governor of Tokyo several times and the governor of Huazhou, Quan Bangyan, who was in danger; to the southeast, he also led General Liu Bao under Zhang Jun's command
, when Tian Shizhong tried to advance westward, he made military actions to echo the trend.
When Yue Fei entered Tokyo, he had only 156,000 soldiers and horses. Tokyo originally fought continuously for ten miles and only had 10,000 or 20,000 people. Therefore, using 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses to respond to the overall situation at this level must have an overall view.
Only a handsome minister can do this, so many people took the opportunity to infer that this must be because Zongze is still alive, and at least he has temporarily recovered.
As for the fact that it is correct, the reason is also very straightforward - Zongze, who has always been careful to rank with the soldiers, is over 70 years old, but starting from the time of Jingkang, he always goes into battle in rough clothes and takes the blame.
To boost morale, this time, from beginning to end, he did not appear in public to appease people.
In fact, according to intelligence, a large number of Tokyo's left-behind troops were concentrated in the southern area of Tokyo at this time. The defeated troops numbered about 30,000 to 40,000, five or six commanders, but there was no movement for a long time, which further fueled this suspicion.
"No need to doubt it."
In order to avoid the many people waiting in the city, that night, seeing the weather was gloomy and there were faint signs of snow, the Zhao Guan family specially summoned a few important officials on the top of the city. "Zong Liushou must be ill.
Because I know what Yue Fei is capable of, the one maintaining the situation in Tokyo at this time must be Yue Pengju himself."
The few people who were called to the top of the city by the officials included two princes, a censor Zhongcheng, a minister of the Ministry of War, a Hanlin bachelor, a Shaoyin of Nanyang Prefecture, plus two generals Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan, but they were just mere generals.
When several people heard this, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.
"what to do?"
Without waiting for the people below to answer, Zhao Guanjia took the initiative to ask questions. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was really anxious. "Can you send an order to let Yue Fei take charge of the war in Tokyo?"
"No!"
Lu Yihao, Lu Haowen, Hu Yin, Lin Jingmo, and Yan Xiaozhong all blurted out almost in unison.
"Why?" Zhao Guanjia frowned in panic for a moment.
"Officials, don't forget about the affairs in the southeast." Lu Yihao did his duty and immediately responded seriously. "Not to mention that we still don't know whether Zong Liushou is really ill, but it is really difficult for Zongze to lead troops again, and there are other high-ranking officials in Tokyo.
Minister, how can you take Yue Fei as your commander-in-chief? It would be over-promotion at this time, and there are only twenty-sixty-seven people who suddenly command the Tokyo Remaining Department, and it is an unknown decree from Nanyang during the war.
I’m afraid the 30,000 to 40,000 defeated soldiers in Tokyo will directly rebel!”
"That's right!" Hu Yin also said seriously. "Officially, Yue Fei was appointed as the governor that day because he was recommended by me, but I also knew his details because of this, so today I would like to take the liberty to ask, who is Yue Fei, what is his resume, and why is he the commander-in-chief?
The Remaining Department in Tokyo? Who can trust him and obey him?"
Zhao Guanjia responded with silence... because he knew that what these people said was right. No one except him, Zhao Jiu, believed in Yue Fei. Li Yanxian's actions that day were still in front of his eyes, let alone a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers from the Tokyo Left Behind Department?
Therefore, Lu Yihao was by no means an alarmist. If the decree really came true, I am afraid that half of the remaining troops of the Tokyo Remaining Division would have turned against Yue Fei before he had obtained the military power.
But the problem is that the Zhao Guan family is also well aware that they are trapped in a stalemate on all sides. Only Yue Fei and the Tokyo Remaining Division have enough troops to break the situation.
Doesn't this become a paradox?
If you want to break the situation, you must use Yue Fei, but if you use Yue Fei in an unexpected way, there is a high probability that the overall situation will collapse!
In the silence, snowflakes suddenly fell, and Zhao Guanjia suddenly woke up and asked with all his strength: "What should we do?"
ps: After staying up all night, I couldn’t help but go to station B to make up for it, but I finally got the code, so I felt that I was still the most handsome guy on Zhichun Road.
