Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 300
  Nowadays, in the court, one after another major events are happening, almost overwhelming the people in the capital who like to watch the excitement.

First, there was an overt and covert military power struggle between the Duke of Qi and the current emperor, which led to the Duke of Qi killing people outside Xuzhou City to shock people. After causing waves of panic and panic in the court, the Duke of Qi suddenly went north, settled in Zhucheng County and far away from the capital, and declared his thoughts to the outside world. The emperor seemed to acquiesce to his hometown. This pull at a distance of thousands of miles suddenly caused a delicate balance to be maintained between the emperor and the Duke of Qi in a practical sense.

The emperor did not provoke Qi Guogong, and Qi Guogong seemed unwilling to set foot in the capital and meet with the emperor again.

Then there was the sudden outbreak of chaos in Puzhou, Shanxi. After raging in the southwestern corner of Shanxi for half a month, the rebels suddenly moved north, and Pingyang Mansion, an important town in the south of Shanxi, fell in three days... During this period, the entire Shanxi, Shanxi, The soldiers and horses of Henan and other prefectures watched the fire from across the bank and remained unmoved, causing an uproar between the government and the public. Then Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Yuan Chonghuan surrounded and suppressed the rebellious people. However, the problem was that the soldiers were not unified with each other, and the armor was not neat. According to legend, the three people There is still some slack. Although most people are not pessimistic about the outcome of this war, they still have the mentality to watch the excitement.

Finally, there is the mystery of Wang Huazhen's murder of the eunuch, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, outside Wenyuan Pavilion, which has been making a lot of noise in the court these days.

What is Wang Huazhen’s motivation?
  Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Qi was just able to get out of the quagmire by stirring up the muddy water. But now, the development of things has already exceeded people's expectations - Zhu Youxiao used lightning speed to kill all the people in the current cabinet. Deposed, and then promoted several more capable civil servants, including two from Donglin and two from the eunuchs - after all, Xiong Tingbi was already an iron-clad eunuch in the eyes of everyone.

Everyone knows that the entire court is already in trouble.

Nanjing, Bu Tang Yamen.

"So," Zuo Guangdou put down Shi Kefa's letter and looked up at Yang Lian who was sitting aside. There was even a hint of schadenfreude in his tone: "Wang Qi has been completely kicked out of the center!"

"The military power is still in his hands!" Yang Lian always gritted his teeth when talking about Wang Qi: "The military power is the reason why Wang Qi makes everyone fear him."

Zuo Guangdou deeply agreed with Yang Lian's words.

If Wang Qi has no say in the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, then if the court wants to take advantage of a military attache who has no foundation, isn't it easy to capture him? Even if he is the Duke of the country, there is no difference.

"Shi Kefa also said one thing in the letter," he tapped the letter on the table with his finger, and then gently pushed it to the other side of the table.

A somewhat suspicious Yang Lian first looked at Shi Kefa, then pushed the tea cup aside, reached out to pick up the letter, and read it carefully: "As expected by Mr. Wang, Wang Qi has fled far away and will not return to Beijing easily. However, another force took the opportunity to rise, which was very detrimental to our Donglin Taoism, that is, the Wei eunuch took the opportunity to cause chaos. The eunuch party has become powerful and has begun to interfere with the power of the cabinet. However, the sage is far away and the necessities are close, and there is a danger that he will not be aware of it. I need to prepare early."

Prepare early?

Yang Lian put the letter back and turned to look at Zuo Guangdou: "Before leaving, did you and Xianzhi give any instructions?"

"When the last Jiannu disappeared in the land of Liaodong, Wang Qi was actually nothing to worry about. For any emperor, people like Wang Qi, Cao Ah Ma in the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Wen in the late Tang Dynasty, all the birds are gone. It's time to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and the good bowman returns to the fence. Now looking at the attitude of the saint, Wang Qi has nothing to worry about." Zuo Guangdou picked up the tea cup and gently blew the young leaves floating on it: "The current situation , just as I expected, eunuchs are the biggest worry for gentlemen like us!"

"Everything in the world is always one after another. Just after Wang Qi left, the eunuchs came again. When will we be able to rise to power?" Yang Lian sighed with unusual emotion: "Zhang Jinming is old and loves power, which has led to We are greedy for profit, but fortunately we have successors, Shi Kefa, Jiang Yueguang are all talented people, and Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting also seem to be in the same camp as me."

"When Hong Chengchou and others return from Shanxi after victory, Shi Kefa will also go to see Yi Er. Presumably, he is very satisfied with joining the Qingliu faction to fight against the eunuchs and save the country."

"I hope the chaos in Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi will be quelled and everything will go well!"

Southeastern Shanxi, Zezhou City.

Hong Chengchou has stayed here for three days.

On the one hand, a sudden heavy snowfall in southwestern Shanxi made the official roads that had been in disrepair for many years even more muddy and slippery, making the troops march too slowly.

On the one hand, some of the troops that Hong Chengchou brought from Beijing City did not have much actual combat power at all, and they had to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's arrival in Zezhou City. After all, most of the troops in the Beijing camp were dispatched by Wang Qi to Liaodong as garrison troops, and most of the current actual troops in the Beijing camp were newly recruited, or were left alone and had no combat effectiveness at all.

"Is there any news about Yuan Chonghuan?" Hong Chengchou personally inspected the mountain roads outside the city. Stones have begun to fall on the mountains on both sides of the road, making it difficult to march, but the roads in the south are normal, so Hong Chengchou wants to wait first Yuan Chonghuan arrived and made long-term plans.

"Sir, I just received a letter from Kaifeng Mansion. It is handwritten by Master Yuan." He followed Hong Chengchou and handed the letter over.

With a creak, the study door was opened, and Hong Chengchou stepped directly in, sat on a chair and began to read a letter, while there were maids and servants waiting to change clothes, and bringing tea and hot meals and food boxes.

after counting
  Snapped! !

Hong Chengchou's face suddenly darkened, and he slammed the letter on the table. The cold air emanating from his whole body made all the servants in the room stay silent.

"Everyone get out," Hong Chengchou said coldly.

Not long after, there was a creak and the door was closed. Hong Chengchou was the only one in the room.

"Yuan Yuan Yuan" Hong Chengchou almost gritted his teeth.

Ten days have passed since the transfer order from the imperial court arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, and Yuan Chonghuan, the grain supervisor and chief executive of the Yamen, has not yet left the Kaifeng Mansion.

The reason given?

The Yellow River was frozen, and the ice surface was thin. Yuan Chonghuan had to wait until the ice surface completely melted, or until the ice became thicker, before he could lead his army to cross the river.

As for the matter that delayed the fighter plane, Yuan Chonghuan also explained in the letter: The entire anti-rebellion army was not well-organized. Hong Chengchou had to wait for Yuan Chonghuan's Henan soldiers, and Sun Chuanting had to mobilize Taiyuan City's Taoist soldiers - in order to make the precious troops The soldiers reached their destination safely, so it was reasonable to march slower.

"What's going on in the Six Dynasties? It's a private plan!"

With a crash, Hong Chengchou swept all the tea cups and teapots on the table to the ground.

"Come here!" Hong Chengchou shouted.

"Sir," someone outside the door replied.

"Assemble the troops and set off in three days to conquer Fushan!"

Hong Chengchou didn't want to wait for Yuan Chonghuan.

He wanted to directly lead more than a thousand men and go to Fushan to garrison first.

There is a mountain that threatens Pingyang Mansion.

If Yuan Chonghuan can lead his army to arrive as scheduled, then he will be able to fight the rebels!
