Dugu Jing was almost angry to death by Xie Xun and did not agree to surrender. Xie Xun also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry and planned to persuade Dugu Jing slowly. Instead, he did not rush to tell Feng Yu about the poisonous insect. Talking about Feng Yu and Gu Chong.

Feng Yu also knew Xie Xun's plan. The fact that she was poisoned by the Gu was very secret and few people knew about it. If Xie Xun wanted Dugu Jing to cooperate, he had to persuade him to surrender first. This matter cannot be rushed. Xie Xun wanted Xu Xutu to do so. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Just when Xie Xun wanted to slowly persuade Dugu Jing, General Chen of Zhongzhou raised the rebel flag and proclaimed himself king in the name of Qingjun. Chen Old General Chen Chuan, Young General Chen Gui, Zhongzhou Zhizhou Chen Min and other clans in Zhongzhou rebelled.

All sixteen cities in Zhongzhou fell, and General Gao's [-] Gyeonggi garrison also responded to Zhongzhou's call and rebelled. Six cities near Gyeonggi fell. The entire Gyeonggi garrison to Zhongzhou was in flames of war, and gunfire broke out in Beining again.

It was late at night when the battle report reached Kyoto. Xie Xun was still burning the midnight oil to deal with government affairs. Lin Heli, Zhang Boju and Gu Jiaming from the cabinet discussed with him the intensity of the new policy in the side hall. Because the new policy encountered obstacles, Lin Heli and Zhang Boju both proposed to slow down the pace. , Boiling a frog in warm water, Xie Xun did not want to push the clan too far, and the monarch and his ministers were discussing countermeasures.

In the scorching summer night, the cicadas were chirping, the wind was light, and the weather was hot and dry. Since Dugu Jing came to Beijing, in addition to dealing with government affairs, several people also discussed how to persuade Dugu Jing to surrender. They kept the lights on for several days and talked at night. Even their young bodies were exhausted. , drowsy, Xie Xun is a military commander, so it’s better.Lin Heli and Zhang Boju were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. When Zhongzhou and General Gao raised the issue of counter-chess, it was rushed to the meeting hall. Xie Xun, Lin Heli and others were so sleepy that they were shaken to ashes?
"Zhongzhou rebelled?" Lin Heli was shocked. Although Zhongzhou is the territory of the Yuwen Royal Family, the Yuwen clan's hometown is Zhongzhou, so it has controlled Zhongzhou for hundreds of years.Every emperor would send his most trusted brother or son to serve as the vassal king to garrison Zhongzhou. Until a hundred years ago, the status of the Zhongzhou fortress gradually increased, and the sixteen cities became hinterland fortresses. If the vassal king was stationed, it threatened the imperial power, and the vassal king was stationed in Zhongzhou. It was extremely easy to station troops to rebel, so the Yuwen royal family sent their most trusted right-hand men to garrison Zhongzhou.

The Chen family and the Yuwen family are the most closely related by marriage, have related interests, and are the most loyal to the Yuwen royal family. They have been stationed in Zhongzhou for hundreds of years and only obey the emperor's orders.

After Xie Xun ascended the throne and the news of the change of dynasty reached Zhongzhou, the Chen family plotted a rebellion. Now there is a melee in the south of the Yangtze River and the old and new dynasties have changed. Xie Xun imprisoned Yu Wenjing's heirs in Qiushan.Zhongzhou raised its troops in the name of King Qin rescuing the enemy and clearing the emperor's side, which was justifiable.

General Gao of Gyeonggi Province also had [-] troops. In response to the call, he raised his troops and did not march towards Kyoto. Instead, he gathered towards Zhongzhou and captured Liuyang, Xianzhou, Yangguan and Pengxian along the way. He then sent troops to Liling. If General Gao captured Liling, Shuyang and Tongzhou will soon join Zhongzhou. Once the troops of both sides join together, Kyoto will be isolated and besieged.

Now General Chen Chuan is calling for the rebels in the world in Zhongzhou. Although he went to Beijing to serve the king with great momentum, many people with lofty ideals who support orthodoxy flocked to Zhongzhou to join General Chen and denounce Xie Xun.

Gu Jiaming was already a little panicked. The war in the south of the Yangtze River was not over yet. There must be no war at this time. "Your Majesty, will you send someone to persuade us to surrender?"

"No!" Xie Xun sneered, "I want to conquer it myself!"

Everyone, "..."

Xie Xun's fighting spirit soared in his bones. He had just defeated the barbarians, held Dugu Jing hostage, and went to Beijing alone. He successfully rebelled, captured Kyoto and proclaimed himself emperor. Not long after the enthronement ceremony, Zhongzhou rebelled.

He also expected that Zhongzhou would take action, so before Zhongzhou received any news, he sent [-] cavalry to Beijing to garrison overnight. He wanted to fight back these cities one by one!
Lin Heli didn't understand Xie Xun's fighting style, but he had heard about it. He heard that Xie Xun always took the lead in the charge when marching and fighting. The military commander seemed to be brave and invincible, while the civil servants seemed to think that the son of a rich man could not sit down and sit down, so he must not be so reckless and take risks.

"Absolutely not!" Lin Heli was the first to stand up and object. Zhang Boju and Gu Jiaming also opposed Xie Xun's personal expedition. Since the foreign enemies had not retreated, Lin Heli, Zhang Boju and others were more inclined to reason and persuade Zhongzhou to surrender.Xie Xun took out a map and spread it out in front of them. "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Zhongzhou are stationed in the hinterland. As long as they meet General Gao's soldiers and horses, they will rush to Kyoto. They will definitely cut off Ningzhou's rescue channel to Kyoto, and they will also All the cities east of Zhongzhou are occupied, and they separate Kyoto and Jiangnan. This is the granary of Beining. As long as Kyoto is isolated and besieged for several months, Kyoto will fall. This battle must be fought quickly and cannot affect the autumn harvest and the battle in Jiangnan. I We cannot defend Kyoto with [-] cavalry and are trapped. If we defend and wait for rescue, we will only lose the chance of fighting. The best defense is to attack. General Gao's troops have now arrived at Liling. Liling has not yet fallen. Several cities in the rear are weak and useless. , they don’t have enough troops to garrison.”

Xie Xun drew Liucheng, the easternmost city in Zhongzhou, on the map, "I will march personally to block them in Zhongzhou and capture Zhongzhou. This is the best plan."

Xie Xun's military acumen far surpassed that of Lin Heli, Zhang Boju and others. The sons of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion seemed to be born with a keen military sense and could always make the best offensive or defensive plan at a glance.

After Lin Heli listened carefully, he said in a deep voice, "Even if we have to go to war, we can send General Cui Lansong to lead the army. You don't have to lead the expedition yourself."

"That's different. I want to fight back my country personally!" Xie Xun made the final decision, arrogantly, "Everyone will know who is the king who can protect Beining."

After Xie Xun ascended the throne, the fighting spirit that he had finally suppressed surged. He was warlike at heart. When he first entered the battlefield, he dared to ambush the Northern Barbarians. He was hot-blooded and warlike.

If Zhongzhou wants to challenge his bottom line, he will accompany him to the end!
Xie Xun was domineering and arrogant. He was originally a military commander. Once he decided to lead the expedition himself, he would insist on going to the expedition even if half of the courtiers in the Jinluan Palace knelt.

The new dynasty had just been established and a prince had not yet been established. Ruyi was young, so Xie Xun entrusted the government to Lin Heli.

He believed that Lin Heli could suppress the ministers and the clan when he went on an expedition to maintain stability in the Kyoto area. Xie Xun led six generals including Cui Lansong and Feng Changqing to the expedition.

Feiying and Nuanyang all stayed in Kyoto, and together with Zhang Boxi commanded the Kyoto Guard, the Forbidden Army and the Jinyi Guard.

Feng Yu didn't expect that Xie Xun would go on a personal expedition, so she was inevitably worried, but she didn't stop him. She also understood that Xie Xun's personal expedition was the best solution at the moment. Zhongzhou must be completely recovered, and she gave up her determination to support the Yuwen clan. Beining can be completely pacified.

"Auntie, wait for me. I will definitely go home before your birthday."
