That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 812

Han Xuan staggered out of Ganquan Palace, returned to the cabinet, and was surrounded by a group of ministers who were waiting here, and asked eagerly, "Mr. Ge, have you ever seen Your Majesty?"

Han Xuan waved his hand, stopped many inquiries, and reprimanded softly: "What are you doing in the cabinet in broad daylight? Don't have any errands? Go back to your respective yamen!"

"Your Majesty already knows about this, so don't worry."

"Come here, go and invite the governor to come and discuss the matter."

Many ministers in the cabinet dispersed, and a cabinet bachelor was ordered to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to invite Wei Jin to come over.

After Wei Jin arrived, Han Xuan retreated from the crowd, leaving only two people in the cabinet.

Han Xuan calmed down his mood, and said straight to the point: "The governor must have known that Mutang in the Northeast has finally turned against him, but His Majesty is in retreat and refuses to see anyone, including me, the chief minister of the cabinet. The situation in the Northeast cannot be ignored, and Zha Qing's 20 troops cannot be allowed to enter the pass and go south."

Wei Jin raised his brows suddenly: "Over the years, the cabinet and the Metropolitan Governor's Office have repeatedly found excuses to reduce the total strength of the Northeast Right Army, but the Northeast Right Army still has 20 people. The current strategy is to send the Central Army to deploy defenses. Once this happens, the imperial capital will inevitably be empty..."

Han Xuan coughed, "As long as the Northeast army is blocked, Zhang Wubing is in the northwest, and Yu Kuang is in the south, even if the defense of the imperial capital is empty, no one will be able to approach the imperial capital, and the imperial capital will naturally have no worries."

Wei Jin is a person who is good at taking risks. Back then, his famous battle was to sneak across Yinping and go straight to Jincheng. At this time, as a general, he thought more, but he didn't have a good way, and the situation was very difficult. There is no need to delay, so I can only agree to Han Xuan's proposal, "In this way, Zhao Wuji's Chinese army can only be moved to Shanhai City."

Han Xuan nodded and said, "I'll let the Ministry of War issue a document later, and I'll also ask the cabinet to draw up a vote to allow Zhao Wuji to lead the military and political power in Qizhou and other places."

Wei Jin got up and said, "In this case, Wei will leave first."

Han Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander."

After Wei Jin left, Han Xuan was an 80-year-old man after all, and couldn't hide his exhaustion.

Li Shiqi walked into the cabinet quickly, and said softly: "Mr. Ge."

Han Xuan put his hands on his forehead and asked, "Where did Nan Gui and the others go?"

Li Shiqi said: "Reporting to Mr. Ge, Mr. Xiaoge wrote a letter not long ago, and he has already arrived in Huzhou. Now, according to the itinerary, he should almost arrive in Shanzhou."

Han Xuan nodded slightly, then murmured, "Shaanzhou."

……

A convoy of hundreds of cavalrymen escorted a convoy to outside the city of central Shaanxi. The cavalry leader who led the troops met with the Northwest Army and returned to Huzhou. The convoy was taken over by a Northwest general and led the convoy. Entering the city, he went straight to the Xingyuan of the official in charge of the Shaanxi camp in his early years.

A woman and three men stepped out of the carriage, and the general knelt down on one knee without hesitation, and said respectfully: "The last general will see Her Royal Highness, Mr. Ping'an, Master Cifu, and Elder Xiaoge."

Speaking of which, this general was an acquaintance of Xu Beiyou, his surname was Li and his name was Song. He had a relationship with Xu Beiyou in his early years. When Xu Beiyou traveled from Jiangnan to the imperial capital via Shanzhou, he also had a lot of dealings with him.

Xiao Zhinan looked at Li Song, "Long time no see, General Li, are you all right?"

When Xiao Zhinan went to the ancient battlefield in Danxia Village, apart from Duanmuyu and the local snake, there were three Li's children headed by Li Song among his entourage.

The world says big is big, but small is very small. Li Song thought that after saying goodbye to Her Royal Highness, it would be impossible to see the sky again in this life. He never thought that he would see Her Highness Princess again under such circumstances.

It's just different from last time, things are different, Mr. Duanmu, who was once expected to marry the princess, committed suicide in the imperial prison, but the young man who once led the way for them is already the emperor's son-in-law, and he is known as Xiaoge all over the court. old.

The world is impermanent, but that's all.

Xiao Zhinan smiled, "Get up."

Li Song got up and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, the governor is busy with the war and cannot get away. The special general came here. I hope Her Royal Highness will forgive me."

Xiao Zhinan didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "National affairs are the most important thing."

Xu Beiyou carried the big sword box on his back and looked around.

Among the monks, there are people who are good at watching Qi, and after reaching the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, all the laws can be mastered if one method is mastered. Xu Beiyou is already close to the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal. "Smell", you can smell the faint killing spirit.

The war in the northwest is not easy to fight.

……

The reason why Han Xuan got up in the middle of the night to go to the cabinet was because the war in the northwest was extremely stalemate.

This time the grassland's offensive is far more violent than expected. It is said that the grassland is not enough to compete with Daqi. Use the power of the whole country to fight against the grassland.Han Xuan had already said in his advice to Xiao Bai that the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River must be quelled first, and then the whole country should fight on the grassland, and the grassland would naturally retreat in spite of difficulties.But now it is only the Northwest Army and the Northwest that are fighting on the grassland, and other places are too busy to take care of themselves, so naturally they cannot devote their energy to rushing to help the Northwest, so it has become a situation where the strength of the Northwest alone is used to counter the power of the tribes in the grassland.

Even if the Northwest Left Army is the most elite army in Daqi, even if Zhang Wubing is a famous general in the world, this battle was still fought extremely hard and brutally. In just over ten days, the two sides surrounded Lin Mian. On the ground, more than [-] troops were successively invested, and several main decisive battles were launched, each of which suffered heavy casualties.

A minister with no knowledge of military affairs once asked in a cabinet discussion why Zhang Binghu did not occupy the city and defend it, but fought with the grassland cavalry outside the city.
In fact, in all fairness, the Northwest Army with heavy cavalry is not inferior to the grassland cavalry in terms of cavalry, and the so-called fortress system must have a cavalry army that dares to fight in the field. If each fort is a pearl, then this A cavalry army is a thread that connects beads. Only in this way can a bead curtain be connected to the city. If you dare not go out to fight in the city, but only dare to hide in the fortress, the end can only be broken by people one by one, so Zhang Wu The disease has to be fought.

If you want to fight, you must win.

Zhang Wubing was no longer in the central capital at this time, but he personally led the army and stationed [-] miles outside Linmian City, accompanied by generals of all ranks of the Northwest Army.

The major imperial guards each have their own espionage systems, usually under the name of the scouts, so Zhang Wubing soon received the news that Xu Beiyou and others had arrived in Shaanxi.

Without saying a word, Zhang Wubing stared blankly at the imperial capital, revealing a worried expression.

His Majesty passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the imperial capital is unclear, the court situation is unstable, there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and changes in the northeast. It seems that all the situations are not conducive to Daqi.As for the battle situation in the northwest, Lin Shu and Lin Han have already divided their forces, and Lin Han will attack Lin Mian with the main force, while Lin Shu will lead more than [-] fine cavalry to Liangzhou, pointing directly at Wushaoling, the gateway of Liangzhou. There is no room for loss on Lin Mian's side. If Lin Mian cannot be kept, the northwest gate will be opened, allowing Lin Han and Lin Shu to form a front and back attack in Liangzhou, then the Northwest Army will have to abandon Liangzhou and be trapped in Shanzhou. , there is no place to move around.

If there is another change in the south of the Yangtze River, the Northwest Army that lost Liangzhou's granary can only sit in the city of sorrow, die in battle or wait for death, and everything will stop.

Zhang Wubing stretched out one palm, clenched his fist tightly, and said softly: "Lin Mian can't be lost, and the imperial capital can't be messed up."
