The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 396 Wang Ziteng's Winning
"Fort Xining, are you sure it's in the hands of the Jinjiang Army?"

King Zhongshun's voice was full of disbelief and a trace of anger.

"Although no flag was displayed, and they claimed to be the Beizhen Army, after investigation, it was indeed soldiers of the Jinjiang Army stationed there."

Cheng Zhixin replied in the affirmative.

heard.

King Zhongshun narrowed his eyes.

Ping Liaohou of Jinjiang Town entered North Korea and talked about things with North Korea. Although he didn't know, he could guess.

Definitely a military operation about the joint march against the barbarians.

The ministries of the Jinjiang Army were frequently mobilized, and such a big movement could not be hidden from anyone.

"How dare Li Changsong do this."

Although Li Changsong arrived in Beizhen, he had no soldiers or food, and all military supplies were sent out from Shanhaiguan through the Liaoxi Corridor.

Most of the supplies were seized by King Zhongshun.

Others would not dare to act recklessly like this, but King Zhongshun dared to do the same.

"Li Shuai is eager to restore the power of the family and does not put state affairs first, so he probably sent someone to contact Marquis Ping Liao.

And his younger sister is married to Ping Liaohou's brother-in-law, Liu Chengmin, who is now the commander-in-chief of Jinjiang Town.

The relationship between the two is extraordinary, we have to guard against Beizhen Jiedushi. "

Tumen said in a low voice.

He was originally on guard in Chang'an, but his son's marriage was annulled because of Jia's Wang Xifeng's attack, and his only son committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated.

The Jia family is so powerful that they don't pay attention to Tumen, a small guard, but Tumen always remembers it.

For revenge, he thought about it and thought that the only chance was King Zhongshun, so he took refuge in King Zhongshun who was still guarded by the Supreme Emperor.

Turns out he was right.

It's a pity that Jia's mansion is too powerful, even if King Zhongshun has seized power, he can't move Jia's mansion lightly.

So Tumen has been secretly waiting for the opportunity.

And Marquis Ping Liao is the son-in-law of the Jia family.

Although Tumen didn't say anything, he made great efforts to advise King Zhongshun against Marquis Pingliao.

King Zhongshun was hostile to Marquis Pingliao and took tough measures. Tumen's warning also accounted for part of the reason.

"In the capital, Marquis of Pingliao has won over the Jia Mansion, Shi's Mansion, Wang's Mansion and other dignitaries, and in the local area, the Marquis of Jinxiang Mansion has been drawn in.

Marquis Ping Liao has ulterior motives and far-reaching plans, so his plans must be grand. "

Tumen's words made Cheng Zhixin look sideways.

Cheng Zhixin took refuge in King Zhongshun, but unlike Tumen, he was so fierce in dealing with Marquis Ping Liao.

The strength of the Jinjiang army is a fact that is right in front of us, and it has really forced Marquis Ping and Liao against him. It is really hard to say whether the court can handle it.

King Zhongshun knew Tumen's hatred.

He frowned and thought.

How to suppress Jinjiang Town.

I used to learn the method of Ping Liaohou, and win over all the forces that can be won, in order to trap the opponent.

It is planned to have a truce with the barbarians, and even form an alliance, win over the grassland tribes, go to North Korea and so on.

It's a pity that the game is missing.

I lost in the capital, and I followed suit everywhere.

The alliance with the barbarians ended in failure. Although the grassland tribes agreed to protect each other, they did not agree to send troops to deal with Jinjiang Town.

The envoys who went to North Korea were also respectfully sent back by North Korea, thinking that the upper court should not be harsh on heroes.

Tumen was right.

Jinjiang Town is very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is at most as powerful as the barbarians back then, and it is not as powerful as the barbarians back then.

At the beginning, the barbarians all occupied Liaodong, and the surrounding enemies all surrendered. Lin Danhan also fled far away, and there was only one enemy in the surrounding area, the defenders of Liaoxi.

The current Jinjiang Town is surrounded by barbarian enemies, as well as the neutrality of the grassland tribes.

I would rather let Jinjiang Town become the original barbarian and corrupt Liaodong, and Liaodong is not in the hands of the imperial court.

Nor can it continue to be closely connected with the country to obtain a steady stream of benefits and promote its growth.

This is the reason why King Zhongshun accepted Tumen's strategy.

The idea is good.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not ancient, too many people don't put state affairs first, and only think about their own power.

"Cheng Zhixin, tell Li Rusong for me, if he doesn't take back Xiningbao, don't blame me for being rude to him."

Although Tumen is his confidant, he doesn't show up in western Liaoning, Cheng Zhixin is a local general, so he is suitable for this matter.

"Jinjiang's army moves frequently, a big battle is about to start, and the barbarians are weak, so we have to help. Our army has left Xining Fort to threaten Haizhou, so that Marquis Ping Liao dare not send troops."

Fort Xining was in Beizhen, and it was still in the hands of Jin Jiang's army. The situation caused by the two was completely different.

Cheng Zhixin took the order and left.

He brought a few personal guards with him, rode on horses, set out from Jinzhou City, and arrived at Beizhen at full speed.

Beizhen was set up in the Ming Dynasty, and after the succession of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiedu Mansion was set up in Beizhen, which became the fortress of western Liaoning and the highest military and political institution in Northeast China at that time.

A hundred years later, things are different.

The momentum surpassed Beizhen, and the newly established Liaodong Capital, following Jia Yucun's actions, also existed in name only.

Replacing Beizhen and Liaodong Dusi were King Zhongshun and Marquis Pingliao respectively.

On the dilapidated city wall, Li Changsong looked at the ruins of the city and the remnants of the fire, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

After Liaoxi was restored, King Zhongshun mainly repaired Jinzhou, Guangning Youtun Acropolis, and Dalinghe Fort due to limited supplies.

As a result, Beizhen was deserted.

"Li Shuai, Cheng Zhixin is here."

"What is he doing here?"

"Said to come here under the order of King Zhongshun."

"Since it's a business, let's do it."

Li Rusong said indifferently.

Before Beizhen was destroyed, in the Jinxiang Hou Mansion in the capital, every New Year's day, gifts from generals in western Liaoning came in an endless stream.

Just like the Zhen family, the General of Yuehai, etc., they will also send gifts to Jia's house on New Year's Day.

Although he didn't see the letter of Cheng Cheng, he knew this person.

Because this person is also a member of the gift list.

As the eldest son and the heir of the Jinxiang Houfu, Li Rusong clearly remembered the people on the list.

If it was a private matter, even if he was dissatisfied with King Zhongshun, Li Rusong would warmly welcome him, but since it was a business matter, it was another matter.

"Li Shuai."

Cheng Zhixin was welcomed into the lobby, and when he saw the young man sitting above him, he immediately guessed that the other party was Li Changsong, who had been famous for a long time.

"Cheng Guerzilla, please sit down."

Li Changsong laughed.

After taking his seat, Cheng Zhixin informed King Zhongshun of his orders in detail.

Cheng Zhixin took refuge in King Zhongshun, of course he put what King Zhongshun wanted to do first, and it would not be affected by old friendship.

King Zhongshun found out about the surrender of Xining Fort, and Li Changsong's face remained unchanged.

He did it on purpose.

King Zhongshun blocked his soldiers and supplies. He couldn't resist King Zhongshun, but he could hold Jin Jiang to his own strength.

"When I first arrived in Beizhen, the recruits recruited by the court for me stayed there because of the weakness of western Liaoning.

Therefore, the Jinjiang army helped to guard against the barbarians. King Zhongshun should understand my painstaking efforts. "

Cheng Zhixin looked at Li Changsong, hesitant to speak.

As a local general, even if he is from the Liaoxi lineage, he is inextricably linked to Beizhen back then.

My ancestors once played in Beizhen.

"Brother Cheng, I like the BMW you gave me back then."

Li Changsong suddenly changed his mind.

"Haha, as long as the son likes it."

Cheng Zhixin laughed.

"Since you have chosen to prosecute the Marquis of Liao, be careful of the impeachment of King Zhongshun."

Before leaving, Cheng Zhixin reminded him.

After seeing off Cheng Zhixin, Li Changsong sighed.

If King Zhongshun was willing to help him restore Beizhen's strength, how could he support Marquis Pingliao regardless of the situation?

The Marquis of Jinxiang has served the country for a hundred years, and he is unwilling to do so.

The Marquis of Jinxiang must be restored in his own hands, otherwise what face would he have left in the world to be worthy of his ancestors.

King Zhongshun blocked him, and King Zhongshun was his enemy.

"Go and tell Marquis Pingliao that King Zhongshun's hostility is so deep that it will definitely affect the Pingliao army's expedition, so be careful."

Before Cheng Zhixin left Beizhen, Li Changsong sent someone to inform Tang Qing'an.

golden state.

Military commanders Xie Youcheng, Xu Hui, etc., discussed with the general in Jiedu Mansion and arranged troops.

"The North Korean army has experienced many years of fighting, and the Jin Jiang army has been trained. Not to mention its guard army, the strength of the three rebel armies is not what it used to be, and they can stand on their own."

Xie Youcheng said to everyone in front of the map.

"The mountain road from Fengcheng to Lianshan Pass has been repaired and can provide the marching of the Korean army. The Korean army has less military equipment and more light infantry, so it is suitable for this mountain road to avoid long-distance detours.

Go out of Pingdingshan from Lianshan Pass, storm Benxi City, threaten Fengji Fort, and cooperate with the main force of our army to recover Shenyang. "

In previous wars, most of the Korean army was reduced to the use of civilian husbands.

In the last battle, although he didn't make military achievements, he marched all the way to Anping Mountain and contributed a lot to Jinjiang Town.

Because of this incident, Xie Youcheng believes that the North Korean army can play a greater role.

"What do you guys think?"

Tang Qing'an thought it was feasible, but he didn't express his opinion.

"feasible."

Xu Hui agreed with what Xie Youcheng said.

The three rebel armies in North Korea have their hearts in Jinjiang Town, and they will not contribute to the military and state affairs. The two sides have been working together for many years and have sufficient trust.

Moreover, most of the soldiers of the three rebel armies married their sisters into Jinjiang Town.

Whether it is the generals or soldiers of the three rebel armies, apart from the banner or the Korean army, in fact, the Jinjiang army's military orders are the most important.

Everyone recognized the three rebel armies in North Korea and admired the general for making a good move.

then.

It was the general who pulled out the dilapidated rebel army from the corners of North Korea. No one thought that it would be so transformed.

Whether it's combat effectiveness or the military's aspirations, Jin Jiang's army is even more powerful.

"Then let Chen Kaiwu take charge of this matter."

Tang Qing'an said.

Although Chen Kaiwu was transferred away from Zhenjiang, he had been stationed in Zhenjiang for many years and had great contact with the North Korean army.

His military talent has already reduced him to the second echelon of the generals of the Jinjiang Army, but he is the most suitable for this job.

The three rebel armies are still foreign armies after all, and a smart person is needed to mediate them.

"When will the attack be launched?"

Xie Youcheng asked a question that everyone cared about.

The armies are mobilized frequently, and the North Korean country is ready to mobilize the army only by the general's military order.

Tang Qing'an did not reply quickly.

The situation is different from the original situation. Although Jin Jiang's army is stronger, there are more things to worry about, and there are more political considerations.

If it wasn't for King Zhongshun's restraint, the battle would have already begun.

However, Jinjiang Town, which can obtain higher benefits from the country, was unable to launch an attack on King Zhongshun and fell into a passive situation.

The benefits of maintaining the status quo are higher than the benefits of breaking the status quo and falling out with King Zhongshun.

"The time to launch an attack does not lie with me, Jinjiang Town, but with the imperial court."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

"But the army is gathered, and the waiting time is too long. The materials are wasted for nothing, and it may not be conducive to the stability of the army."

Right Sima Wang Xuan said worriedly.

Jeju Island's sea trade of several million taels a year, and this year's only attempt to accept poor people, it is as high as 2 people, and I don't know how much it will be in the coming year.

There are also business in Lushun and so on.

Compared with the materials consumed by the gathering of the army, and it was only for a short period of time, the comparison of the two is really insignificant.

Only what Wang Xuan said affects the morale of the army is worthy of attention.

"Waiting for three days, when news from the capital comes from Chen Deyan, we will launch an offensive after taking targeted measures."

Tang Qing'an made a decision.

According to what Li Rusong said, King Zhongshun sent the secret book to the court, and the type of the secret book can be known without guessing.

Tang Qing'an must have a detailed understanding of the emperor's reaction and the domestic situation to avoid being caught off guard.

Although the barbarians are in decline, the old soldiers and generals are still there.

Its remaining tens of thousands of elite soldiers, coupled with the battle to defend the country, will definitely mobilize all the young and strong of the clan and devote them to local defense.

It is still an opponent that the Jinjiang army needs to go all out. If it is careless, it may capsize, which will interrupt the good situation.

Only by erasing all accidental factors can we be foolproof.

Not only Tang Qing'an saw this, but Huang Taiji also saw it, King Zhongshun also saw it, and everyone was trying to get out of the way.

How Huangtaiji frequently sent envoys to contact the tribes in the grassland is not mentioned.

The secret of King Zhongshun was his own uncle who had escorted him for many years, which made the emperor hesitate.

"King Zhongshun asked me to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he is accusing me in disguise."

The emperor looked at Liu Yiru with a smile.

"It's ridiculous, how the imperial court in the west of Liao is the State of Wu, how the Marquis of Ping Liao is the State of Wei, and how the barbarians are the State of Shu.

Uncle Liu Huang of the Kingdom of Shu belongs to the clan of the great Han Dynasty. If he heard King Zhongshun's words, he would crawl out of his grave in anger. "

Liu Yiru made a joke.

The parable of King Zhongshun said that if the imperial court sat back and watched the Jinjiang army wipe out the barbarians, it would not be long before the imperial court would lose Liaoxi.

The emperor was in a good mood, so he was not angry at King Zhongshun's accusations.

Liu Yiru is also in a good mood.

Regardless of criticism, he promoted his protégé Zhou Shifeng to serve as governor of Shaanxi under the banner of Zhao'an.

Most of the countless rebels in Shaanxi surrendered to the court on their own initiative.

Even if there were still some recalcitrant rebels, they were unable to deal with it and fell into the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

Half of the domestic reinforcements who entered Liao to participate in the battle were sent back to their original places, and half were sent to Shaanxi, and the rebels were beaten back and forth.

Under such circumstances.

The oppressive atmosphere in the capital was swept away, and everyone believed that the civil unrest would subside soon.

How could the emperor be unhappy?

The mess I took over from the Supreme Emperor, the civil unrest, and the barbarians were also quelled. I believe that by next year, the country will be in my hands and will surpass the Supreme Emperor.

Years of hard work finally ushered in peace.

In the bright world, he himself is a wise king, in contrast, the Supreme Emperor is a faint king.

The history books must be so recorded.

"Marquis Ping Liao is too complicated. I don't trust him. I was worried that he would resist the court's will and make the court lose face, so I didn't ask him to return to Beijing for a briefing.

If I ordered him to return to Beijing for his duties, does Ai Qing think he will obey the order? "

the emperor asked.

Marquis Ping Liao is a loyal minister, Marquis Ping Liao is a national champion, Marquis Ping Liao is a treacherous minister, Marquis Ping Liao is an independent husband...

In the capital.

There are countless remarks about Ping Liaohou, and there are various versions, which make it difficult to distinguish.

However, Marquis Ping Liao is powerful and has the potential to separate himself, which is indisputable.

The emperor is not stupid.

He took his uncle's worries to heart.

As the barbarians sued for peace and the civil unrest subsided, his confidence gradually strengthened, and he had the energy to look at Jinjiang Town and face up to Jinzhou's problems.

"Although the civil unrest has subsided, the country has no savings for the time being, so it should be taken slowly to replenish the treasury and reorganize the army.

In this way, even if Marquis Ping Liao has evil intentions.

When our country is prosperous, how dare he fight against the whole country with a corner.

A hundred years ago, Beizhen was very powerful, and its scale was no less than that of Jinjiang Town today, and it also obediently obeyed the orders of the imperial court.

As long as our country's momentum rises, it will be defeated without a fight, and the position is the best policy. "

Liu Yiru said confidently.

The imperial court was defeated by Annan, which caused Annan to leave.

Because there are many forests and swamps in Annan, and the logistics line is too long, less than [-]% of [-]% of the supplies are transported to the front line.

And Annan has been independent for too long, people's hearts have changed, and so on, it is difficult for Dazhou to recover.

But Liaodong is different.

The terrain of Nuergansi is difficult, but Liaodong is a familiar land, and it is not far from the capital, and it has the advantage of Liaoxi.

The Liao people are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as the country's accumulated evils are eliminated and the country is prosperous, it is wishful thinking for Marquis Ping Liao to use Liaodong to fight against the whole country.

Liu Yiru is a civil servant, and he prefers to solve Ping Liaohou through political means.

The emperor nodded, approving Liu Yiru's words.

Military affairs are the last resort, and should not be moved lightly, and should be eliminated by other means when it is not a last resort.

Both of them think that Da Zhou should be prosperous.

Liu Yiru is confident in his talent, and the emperor is confident in his sageness.

The civil unrest in Shaanxi gradually subsided.

Jia's house panicked.

Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Zhen all knew the strength of Marquis Ping Liao.

Many years ago, Tang Qing'an said that the civil unrest was so great that the imperial court would not take care of him and would not take action against Jinjiang Town.

It has been true for years.

But everyone did not expect that the civil unrest was quelled in this way.

"This... this..., Tang Qingan made a mistake." Jia Zheng spoke incoherently.

"My daughters are all married. If the imperial court deals with Tang Qing'an in the future, how can we get rid of our Jia family's ties."

Jia Zheng repeated these few words back and forth, but he didn't say how to respond.

I couldn't help complaining about Jia Jing in my heart.

His daughter didn't marry, but married his own daughter, putting himself in a disadvantageous situation, and he couldn't help but suspect Jia Jing.

Jia Jing has always been relentless.

Did he expect the risk, so he let himself marry his daughter, if something bad happens, it won't affect the Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen is Jia Zheng's younger generation. Although she is the patriarch, she lacks confidence.

But Jia Zhen's complaints inside and outside the words made Jia Zhen unhappy.

His own father just passed away.

"Back when An Ge'er was powerful, he didn't have such an attitude."

Jia Zheng looked unhappy.

Seeing this, Jia Amnesty saw that, although he was equally worried, he thought that in case of an emergency, with his relationship with many Jiedu envoys, he should be able to keep the big house.

"What didn't happen, why bother to mess up."

Among the three present, Jia She was the calmest.

"Do you want to ask An Ge'er about his plan?"

Jia Zhen suggested.

Jia Zheng immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"I think it's better to have less contact, it's better to draw a clear line now, so as not to really involve us in the future.

Otherwise, when things come to an end, it may be too late for us to draw a line again. "

Jia Zhen was not a persistent person, even An Geer's father-in-law had such an attitude, and he was disheartened, too lazy to bother about this matter.

Anyway, it's Rongguo Mansion's business, not his Ningguo Mansion's business, so why put a hot face on a cold ass.

Jia Zheng's talent is unbearable.

When Chen Deyan sent the famous post to Jia's mansion and was handed back, Chen Deyan shook his head, amused by his worries ahead.

Gui Yong returned empty-handed. Although he didn't know what the third master was laughing at, his expression was calm.

Such is his character.

Whatever the third master asked him to do, he would do it without asking too many questions.

Chen Deyan sat back in the rocking chair, no longer caring about Jia's house.

Back then, he was worried about the big brother's engagement with the Jia family, and his daughter was the eldest brother's direct wife, and if he had a direct son in the future, he might not be able to control the Jia family.

Now that I think about it, I am really worrying.

Jia Jing died.

Jia's mansion is in the eyes of no one.

Jia Lian was too lustful, short-sighted, and unbearable for a big responsibility. Jia Baoyu was raised in a gentle village.

Jia Huan was ruthless, but he was too young and born low to pose much of a threat.

After thinking about it, the elder brother used the banner of the Jia family to win over the nobles, which is really a wonderful move.

As the civil unrest gradually calmed down, many people changed their attitudes, but Chen Deyan did not change his color.

Since even Jia's mansion pushed him away, they simply closed the door and had a pleasant time.

In no mood.

The housekeeper of the palace handed over the invitation, and Wang Ziteng made an appointment to meet him.

"Wang Ziteng."

Chen Deyan looked at the invitation card in his hand, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"What kind of person is this person?"

He couldn't understand Wang Ziteng.

villain?hero?
~~~~~~
Wangfu.

Wang Ziteng's younger brother Wang Zisheng, Wang Xifeng's older brother Wang Ren.

"Brother, the Jia family has changed their attitude, don't we really not change?"

Wang Zisheng showed a worried expression.

Before the civil unrest in Shaanxi spread, no one cared about it, ignored it, and let the people live in dire straits.

When the civil unrest expanded, everyone began to care.

Concerned about whether it will affect their own interests.

People are not stupid.

The civil unrest is not eliminated, but Jinjiang Town has been stable, and with the Jia Mansion standing in front, each family is of course willing to rely on Jinjiang Town.

It's like Jin Jiangzhen's benefit from the honor.

Now that the civil chaos is gone, how can everyone not predict the emperor's thoughts?

"Who said civil unrest will be peaceful?"

Wang Ziteng asked back.

Hearing this, both Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren were surprised.

"Every family in the capital says so."

"Humph."

Prince Teng sneered.

"It's just a fool who echoes what others say."

"What is the most important thing in Zhao'an? It is food. Has the imperial court sent food to Shaanxi? Is there any food in the treasury to send to Shaanxi?"

The prince is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to easily absorb the foundation of the Jia family, strengthen the palace, and suppress the historians.

They are the same four big families, so they communicate with each other.

Marquis Ping Liao attached great importance to civil unrest, so he also paid attention to it, and discovered why Marquis Ping Liao was not in a hurry, let alone Shangshu's confidence to defend himself.

The innumerable rebels who voluntarily surrendered now, no matter how much they expect, they will be so disappointed in the future.

At that time.

The rebels will completely lose trust in the imperial court.
