I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 391
Summoning Fu Jinchuan back to Beijing, in addition to the worsening of Zhao Yuantan's condition, there is another news that makes the situation worse.

There was a change in Qingtang.

In the Daming Palace of Nuo Da, in addition to Zhao Yuantan who was lying on the sickbed and couldn't get up, there were Taishi Shangshu Ling Li Fuzhi, Shangshu Youpu She Niu Daoqian, Zhongshu Ling Zhou Zhe, the commander of the palace commander Wuyanghou Yu Luohu, and all of them. Marshal Fu's father and son.

Fu Jinchuan, who had just rushed back, put down the military reports from various places, and had a rough idea of ​​the current situation in his mind.

As for the Chinese and military ministers in the palace, the focus of the dispute was that if Qingtang really took action, whether Longyou Hexi could be defended or not.

If it is impossible to defend, it is better to give up temporarily and transfer the elite frontier army back to counter the rebellion. After all, Longyou in Hexi is important, but now that the capital is at stake, it seems that there is no need to make a choice.

Qingtang will definitely make a move, and no one who is a maharajah will miss such an opportunity.

The Great Jin is now mired in the quagmire, the east of the river is lost, and Shuofang is in a hurry. This is a godsend opportunity for the Qingtang people who have been coveting the west of the river.

And under the panic of the people, even the elite frontier army's combat power will be greatly reduced.

It was naturally the three prime ministers who advocated shrinking the front line.

Even though Fu Maoxiu and Yu Luohou knew the current battle situation and situation, they could only bite the bullet and insist that Longyou Hexi should not abandon their defense.

These two are already the leaders among the honorable military generals, so naturally they can't give up lightly.

At this time, Fu Jinchuan's opinion is very important.

After joining the army for nearly 20 years, Fu Jinchuan successively served as the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan and Longyou towns. He fought more than a hundred battles without losing a single one.

Especially in the three battles against Songzhou, Shule, and Hehuang, Qingtang has always been a big victory.

"If you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will save all people and land."

Fu Jinchuan only had sixteen characters, which made Fu Maoxiu and Yu Luohu no longer insist.

It's not that they don't understand this truth, but after Fu Jinchuan said this, they have reason to support the decision to shrink the front.

They have to give an answer to people's hearts.

And Zhao Yuantan, who was lying on the sickbed, also made a decision.

First of all, for the sake of war planning, the Chongzheng Yuan was changed to the Privy Council. Fu Maoxiu knew the affairs of the Privy Council, and Yu Luohu, Li Fuzhi, and Niu Daoqian knew the affairs of the Privy Council.

This is tantamount to giving civil officials the power to directly intervene in the military.

At the same time, in order to appease the generals, he added Fu Maoxiu as Sikong, and made peace with Zhongshumen.

Sikong is one of the three lords, and he is an official added to important ministers.

However, the appointment of Pingzhangshi under the door of Zhongshu also represents a precedent for military generals to serve as prime ministers.

In the future, it is no longer empty talk.

As for Hexi Longyou, the edict on the surface will naturally not abandon the defense openly, but will send most of the elite frontier troops back to the Guanzhong to defend.

And what this decision means to the soldiers of the frontier army and the common people of the border areas, the dignitaries who made the decision naturally knew it.

The generals of the frontier army also know it.

Today's imperial court really cannot afford to fight at the same time from Hebei, Hedong, Shuofang, Longyou, and Hexi, which are thousands of miles long.

Retraction is an inevitable choice.

But for the people in the frontier and the vassals who aspired to the Great Jin, it was undoubtedly a catastrophe.

The sad thing is that sometimes when those in power make choices, no matter how they choose, it is actually wrong.

Shuofang, lost the hatred of Men Yixue's defeat in the Battle of Baiting.

First, he led the army in the north and confronted the Shuofang frontier army with superior strength for a long time. The two sides fought fiercely around the Yin and Xia states for several months.

The fall of Hedong has become the winner of the battle of Shuofang.

And the northern Khan Bishamen also sent his Khan's pro-army, Tiger Division, at a critical moment.

The 30 troops in the northern border stormed Shuofang with the momentum of horns, but the people in the east of the river were panicked.

As a result, the six states of Xia, Yan, Sui, Yin, Feng, and Sheng fell one after another. The [-] frontier troops in Shuofang were exhausted by the northern army without counting casualties, and only less than [-] people remained in Lingzhou. .

Jiedu envoy Xue Cong asked for help several times in Longxi, Hexi, and Guanzhong, but there was no reinforcements, so he had no choice but to abandon Lingzhou.He led thousands of riders back into Guanzhong.

At the end of the fifth year of Zhengxi, severe winter struck.

Heyang City, which had held on for nearly half a year, fell, and the river was frozen.

This also means that the great river passes through the ice, and the army of infantry and cavalry from the Northern Territory and Yan Fan can cross the river without using a boat.

Most of the original army in Hebei had already been transferred back a few months ago.

The Jin army set up defenses along the front line of Mang Mountain, with more than [-] forbidden troops, with battalions for dozens of miles, and built camps and antlers.

Qiu Ming, Marquis of Anyuan, supervised the armies of various towns in Hebei, stationed troops on white horses, and formed a corner with the Jin army on the south bank of the river, threatening the flanks of Yanfan in the north.

At this time, there were nearly 20 troops in the northern border alone on the Hedong line, and Khan Bishamen came to Jinyang in person after the victory in Shuofang.

In addition to guarding against a few leopard divisions of the Jinshan Duannu tribe, the Golden Horde Khanate almost mobilized all its war potential and mobilized more than [-] troops.

And the Yan army is almost out of the elite, the 10,000+ frontier army is almost out of the elite, and the Donghu tribes that were subdued by Yan Fan also sent tens of thousands of troops.

And after the elites from Hexi and Longyou were transferred to Guanzhong, Qingtang, who had been waiting and watching, finally began to "take advantage of the fire".

Maharaja Tuoba Ge personally led the army, led an army of 26, and marched into Hexi.

On the Qingyi Festival, Guizhang led an army of 12 and invaded Longyou.

For a time, Guanzhong and Gyeonggi, the two bases of the Great Jin Dynasty, had to face the soldiers.

In the Daming Palace of Nuo Da, apart from Zhao Yuantan, the emperor of Zhengxi who cannot afford to sleep on the couch, there are Taishi Li Fuzhi, right servant She Niu Daoqian, left servant She Lin Jingming, British Duke Fu Maoxiu, Fu Guogong Yang Jixun, Xin Guogong Tang Xianzong, Wu Dinghou, etc. Guo Bao and other civil and military ministers.

Prince Zhao Yanlie, who was not yet seven years old, was led by his aunt Chengyang Princess Zhao Yuanshu, and stood in front of the sick bed.

And these people are all waiting for someone.

Fu Jinchuan, who had just returned from the Mangshan camp, was allowed to ride all the way into the palace until Daming Palace dismounted.

When he entered the palace, he knew that something big was bound to happen.

"The Marquis of Wu'an is here."

The chief eunuch lost his former stability and led Fu Jinchuan directly to the front of the collapse.

When he saw Zhao Yuantan, Fu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Brother Tan was still weak and had difficulty getting up, the time had not yet come.

"Sanlang, come here, you don't need to be polite, I have something important to tell you."

Fu Jinchuan walked up to him and glanced at his wife Zhao Yuanshu, only to see that she shook her head slightly, as if to signal him not to worry.

Zhao Yuantan, who was supported up, waved at Zhao Yanlie, "Lie'er, come here."

Prince Zhao Yanlie walked forward very obediently.

"Sanlang, in the future, Yan Lie will entrust you. Lie'er, remember, in the future, your uncle will be your father, and your aunt will be your mother. I don't want to see your uncle or aunt."

As if he knew something, or just felt a little sad, Zhao Yanlie cried, "Aye, don't you want me anymore?"

Zhao Yuantan smiled and stretched out his hand to caress the top of his son's head, "You are the prince of the country, you have to be sensible, be obedient, and see your uncle and aunt"

Zhao Yanlie nodded obediently, and bowed to Fu Jinchuan.

"Your Majesty, I dare not accept such a great gift from the Crown Prince."

Fu Jinchuan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, while Zhao Yuanshu turned his face sideways, his eyes foggy.

"Sanlang, you can bear it. I will entrust you with the extension of the sun. This is an order. Both Guanzhong and the prince are entrusted to you. From now on, I will order you to be the Grand Marshal of the Kansai Roads, and to supervise the Kansai. Dao soldiers and horses, control the war, you and Sizi, you go to Guanzhong."

He is naturally clear about what it means to entrust the prince to Fu Jinchuan and the land in Guanzhong.

Now that the situation in Beijing is in crisis, if there is an emergency, Guanzhong will naturally become the imperial court's retreat.

And his responsibility is not only to guard the Guanzhong area, if Shangjing really falls, with Zhao Yuantan's current body, it will be very difficult for him to patrol the Guanzhong from the west of Shangjing.

Even if Shangjing is worry-free in the end, once Zhao Yuantan doesn't hesitate, as the prince's guardian, Fu Jinchuan will be under one person and above ten thousand, and can even coerce the emperor to order the world.

Zhao Yuantan's decision almost entrusted the future of the imperial court to Fu Jinchuan, but the civil servants and prime ministers rarely objected.

Civilian leaders such as Li Fuzhi, Niu Daoqian, Li Fazeng, and Lin Jingming all remained silent.They acquiesced, and at the same time they were witnessing Emperor Zhengxi's act of entrusting Gu.

Because this rebellion triggered by King Qi has already begun to make the seemingly stable Dajin court crumbling.

Hedong and Shuofang fell successively, and after the fall of Hedong, Hebei also lost the natural danger of the Yanshan Mountains, and the rebels could go out of Taihang Luliang and enter Hebei directly.

You can also directly cross the river to attack the capital of Gyeonggi.

And Guanzhong also faces threats from Longyou and Shuofang, and even from the east of the river.

But Guanzhong is a place of great shape, and there are natural dangers to rely on, which is much better than the situation in Gyeonggi.

But Zhao Yuantan, as the emperor, could not move.

Even the civil and military ministers of the imperial court and nobles of the clan cannot move lightly.

At this time, if the imperial court reveals signs of avoiding it, people's hearts will be unstable.

Therefore, in Guanzhong, not only Zhao Yuantan, but also the entire Jin court, and even the entire world.

If the capital of Guanzhong is lost, Shenzhou Luchen will not be far away.

If this great river and mountain were to fall into the hands of the barbarians, then everyone present would not have any good comments in the history books of later generations.

After figuring this out, Fu Jinchuan prostrated himself on the ground and bowed, "My minister, Fu Jinchuan, take orders."

All the officials in the palace left one after another.

Fu Jinchuan and Zhao Yuanshu were at the end, turned around after bowing, and were about to leave.

With the support of Tian Fuguo, Zhao Yuantan took a few steps forward and patted Fu Jinchuan on the shoulder.

At this moment, he wanted to say a thousand words, but he swallowed them all when he reached his mouth.

Fu Jinchuan didn't look back, but covered his face with his hands and said, "I'm going to Guanzhong. I don't know when I can return to Shangjing. I just hope that Your Majesty will take good care of the dragon's body, and wait for the news of the victory of the thieves and captives."

"Okay, I'll wait!"

"You have no jokes."

"Ah."

He didn't know how long he would live.

But in order not to disappoint some people, he is willing to do his best.

Alive.

Even if you have to suffer from illness.

　I wish you all a happy holiday.
