Ziyan nodded, the news she got was almost the same.

There were also disputes in the Ministry of War. Most people still felt that if the Turks wanted to plunder more, they had to go further south, where they had not been plundered, so they naturally had more property.

"Master, I feel that if this matter is not taken seriously, it may not be as simple as a few more states being robbed. I am afraid that more state capitals will be robbed, and then the north will be destroyed." Ziyan said.

"This is a matter of the imperial court, so what if we know about it?" Fang Jing sighed, "Sending troops requires people to ask for food, and all they get is silver. I heard that the imperial treasury is empty, so no one would dare to mention it even if they want to send troops. It is difficult to raise food and pay alone, how to send troops to resist? You should pay more attention to this matter, and take the opportunity to develop an intelligence network to the north, and we have to deploy troops on the Turkic side."

"Master, the slaves have already started to do it." Ziyan said.

"Very good." Fang Jing nodded and smiled.

Zijuan and Ziyan are really good at this now, so I don't have to worry too much.

Next, there will be more topics about the Turkic army going south in the city.

The Turkic army has already arrived in Shuozhou and Daizhou, and if they go south, they will reach the important town of Taiyuan.

Once Taiyuan Mansion falls, the Turkic army can go all the way south to threaten Luoyang.

There is a flat river in the south of Taiyuan, which is very beneficial to the Turkic cavalry army.

There have been heated discussions in the court about the Turkic army going south this time.

The two factions are arguing endlessly whether to send troops or not to send troops.

Five days passed and still no conclusion.

Many people were waiting for the news that the Turkic army had plundered enough and retreated on their own.

It's always been like this before, and in their opinion, it's almost the same this time.

It doesn't matter even if the looting area is wider and the duration lasts longer, they are still far away from Luoyang, and they are not in a hurry at all.

How could they care about the lives and deaths of the people over there?

But at this time, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the news came that Taiyuan was actually captured by the Turks. The Turkic army plundered wantonly for two days and two nights. The people in the city were killed and injured.

Taiyuan Prefecture has 20 troops stationed in the city. As long as they stay in the city, even if all [-] Turks attack the city, they will not be able to succeed in a short time.

But this time there was a Turkic internal response in the city. When the Turkic army of [-] came in two directions, the gates of the two cities were opened wide, and the Turkic army easily captured Taiyuan City.

The [-] defenders fled hastily almost without resisting, completely leaving the people in the city to the Turks, which led to this tragedy.

The fall of Taiyuan City shocked and angered the imperial court.

They thought that the Turks could only detour in a strong city like Taiyuan, but they didn't expect that they had been prepared for a long time. They should have been lurking in secret for how long, just to wait for this moment.

"Brother Fang, Wu Linwei is afraid that he will be hit by such a thing as Nei Ying?" Wang Xiyue asked.

After getting the news, Fang Jing and others also gathered together.

This is indeed a big event, even if it has little to do with their Fang family business now, it is worth discussing with everyone.

Fang Jing understands what Wang Xiyue means. The Wulin Guards are also responsible for arresting the Turkic spies, and now the Turkic spies are used as internal agents in the city, leading to the fall of Taiyuan City, and the Wulin Guards cannot escape the responsibility.

Of course, this incident will make a lot of people's heads fall, that's for sure.

Not only the martial arts guards, but also those in the government yamen, those in the court, and the generals leading the army. I don't know how many people will be implicated.

"Do you think Commander-in-Chief will be dismissed?" Liang Jingwei also asked before Fang Jing could speak.

"The Wulin Guard will definitely be impacted. The Wulin Guard can't separate the relationship with the internal affairs. Although there are countless spies in the world, it is impossible to catch them all, but there is a problem here, and the impact is too great. Someone from the Wulin Guard must come out and take responsibility." Fang Fang Jing said, "As for the commander, I don't think it will be greatly affected."

"Huh? Because he is the prince?" Shen Yunyan asked.

"This has nothing to do with the prince." Fang Jing shook his head and said, "It has something to do with his mentality these years. Zhu Heng must be the commander of the martial arts guard, but he is almost a nominal one. The specific affairs of the commander of the martial arts guard's yamen are as follows The two major commanders and colleagues are in charge, so it can be said that they are the real power holders."

"Since the establishment of the Wulin Guard, at least half of the commanders are relatives of the emperor, but these people are generally the same as Zhu Hengding, they will protect themselves wisely and will not touch the real power of the Wulin Guard." Ziyan said.

"Is that so?" Li Handie was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a statement. I always thought that the commander of the martial arts guard is still a very powerful figure."

"Sister Li, don't you know?" Liu Qinrui blinked her big eyes and asked suspiciously.

In her opinion, this elder sister Li is a master.

Back then, her skills were much higher than Liang Jingwei's, and she was from a famous family, so she shouldn't have known about this.

Li Handie showed some embarrassment on his face and said: "I really don't know. In the past, my thoughts were all on martial arts, or on Jianghu sects. I didn't pay much attention to the imperial court, and it wasn't worth my attention. "

"In fact, Zhu Hengding is really wise." Xu Nishang said, "Even if he doesn't have the real power of the commander of the martial arts guards, he is still a powerful character. He is the current emperor's younger brother, and he is highly valued by the emperor. Even if he doesn't master it The real power of Wulin Wei, but he really wants to influence Wulin Wei, it is also very simple. Companion to the king is like a companion to the tiger, even if it is a brother, it cannot be said that it is foolproof. It is also possible for the emperor to suddenly turn his face and deny people. Less power, A lot of times it’s a means of self-preservation.”

"So, Zhu Heng will not be punished." Liang Jingwei said.

"Sister Jingwei, do you care about this?" Wang Xiyue asked.

"That's for sure." Liang Jingwei nodded, "Didn't Brother Fang be able to become a thousand households, isn't it related to that princess? If her father no longer serves as the commander, then there will be more troubles for Brother Fang .”

"Then this prince won't be dismissed?" Liu Qinrui asked nervously.

Although Liang Jingwei also asked about it just now, she was still not at ease.

She also knew about the rumors that Big Brother Fang was going up and down.

This matter concerns the eldest prince.

Brother Fang has some relationship with the princess. When he was promoted to Qianhu, he was related to the princess, so he was related to Prince Chu.

No matter what happened to the First Prince, if he really wanted to touch Big Brother Fang, he would take Prince Chu's reaction into consideration.

If Prince Chu is no longer the commander, wouldn't Brother Fang have no support in Wulinwei?
When the time comes, won't the eldest prince become even more serious?
