The Best Fake Eunuch

Chapter 456 Killing three birds with one stone

Xiao Xinghan's tens of thousands of people can rely on a powerful navy to attack Minzhou County. If the Ross fleet goes south in a big way, it will not only be threatened by the windward port.

Jiangnan County, Jiangdong County, these affluent coastal places, are about to be in great danger.

But since the emperor has decided to fight, he can't look forward and backward, think twice, and can only follow his train of thought.

But I don't know who the emperor plans to send as a general?

I feel that the most suitable person here is Xiao Chen, but the emperor has just dismissed his title of General of the Peking University, and also withdrew his seal of command, so he should not be allowed to lead troops, so who should be sent to be suitable?

The most suitable one is of course Fengyang King Li Feng, but Li Feng is still cleaning up the remnants of the previous dynasty in Minzhou County, and is planning the coastal defense affairs against Yizhou, but he can't get out.

Besides, if he was transferred here, he would be afraid that Xiao Xinghan would come back, and that would be an enemy on both sides.

Li Wanyun, the king of Zhongcheng, is also fine, or Li Yan, the king of Yandang?

"They can't get out, I'm going to let Qin Gang take on this important task." Li Wanjiang has long wanted a candidate.

Qin Gang is brave and good at fighting, so it is okay for him to be a general, but if he goes, who will guard Yanyun Pass?

Xiao Chen thought in his heart, do you still need to ask? It must be Xue Jinshan.

Li Wanjiang's scheming is really deep, he used the reason of attacking Shunfeng Port to transfer the Queen Mother's nephew Qin Gang from Yanyun Pass and replace him with his confidant general.

The importance of Yanyun Pass is not only that it can curb the northern border tribes going south, but it can also cooperate with Wolong Pass to control the situation around Fengyang City...

Because on the east and west sides of Fengyang City, there are foreign relatives and generals supporting themselves. Although the number is not large, it is also a great hidden danger, and Li Wanjiang has to guard against it.

So what he, the emperor, did was really troublesome.

If Qin Gang's attack on Shunfeng Port failed, he would definitely be dismissed and investigated, and he would no longer be able to lead troops.

If he wins, then he will stay in Yanyun County as General Yanyun, and let him and Xiao Chen restrain each other.

Qin Gang is very powerful and likes to seize power. If he is stationed in Yanyun County, he will definitely find a way to bring Xiao Chen's soldiers under his command, and he will also intervene in Yanyun County's affairs.

It's fine if it's someone else, but can Xiao Chen get used to him? impossible.

Therefore, the disputes between the two will continue in the future, and this is what Li Wanjiang likes to hear.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager would not object to Li Wanjiang's doing so, and might support it with all her strength.

Because Yanyun County is much bigger than Yanyun Pass, and the general of Yanyun County is a first-rank rank, while the general soldier of Yanyun Pass is only a second-rank rank.

My own nephew's prestige, power, and official positions have all been promoted. Can the Queen Mother be unhappy?

Impossible to be unhappy.

Only Li Shi was unhappy, because he knew his father's thoughts too well.

Li Shi was raised by the queen mother, and he is also one of the queen mother's favorite grandsons.

Although Li Shi did not get involved in the Empress Dowager's relatives group, and has always kept a considerable distance from them, he still needs to rely on the Queen Mother and the relatives group to cultivate and expand his influence.

He has a very good personal relationship with Qin Gang, and he also knows how important Qin Gang's role in Yanyun Pass is.

Once Yanyun Pass is lost, it will be difficult for the foreign forces around Fengyang City to respond to each other, and they will no longer be able to form a siege situation against Fengyang City...

"My son also thinks that it is most appropriate to send General Qin Gang there, and it is also very appropriate for General Xue Jinshan to guard Yanyun Pass instead. However, my son thinks that Wolong Pass is also very important, and its importance is not even lower than Yanyun Pass. , if there is not a general like Xue Jinshan guarding... I am afraid that something will go wrong." Li Shi objected very tactfully.

"Hehe, I have considered this too. I have decided to add Xue Jinshan as General Yanlong, and entrust Yanyun Pass and Wolong Pass to him for control." Li Wanjiang said.

Li Shi nodded again and again, and said nothing more.

Li Wanjiang asked Xiao Chen's opinion again, and Xiao Chen said that he had no opinion. If General Qin Gang goes, regaining Shunfeng Harbor will be as easy as picking something out of a bag...

That is to say, since he has released his military power, he will never intervene in any military affairs again.

"Xiao Chen, you have to cooperate well with General Qin Gang in the battle, especially the logistics. You have to be in charge." Li Wanjiang did not intend to let Xiao Chen be the shopkeeper.

The strategy of attacking Shunfeng Harbor was first proposed by you kid, can you do it without thinking about it?

"I obey the order!" Xiao Chen agreed first before asking questions, "But I don't have enough food, grass and supplies to supply an army of 20,000."

"You don't need to worry about food, grass and military equipment. You just need to send out people. An army of 20,000 needs at least 5,000 civilians to support it. Can you do it for me?" Li Wanjiang said.

"As long as you take care of the food, you can have as many people as you want!" Xiao Chen generously agreed.

"The mules, horses and carts are all yours to deal with." Li Wanjiang smiled, "Don't refuse, kid, I know you have the ability."

"I will try my best to do it, and I will definitely not delay the emperor's important event!" Xiao Chen didn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty, since Master Xiao is no longer in charge of the military, all the soldiers and horses under his command should be brought back to Jian. I think it's better for General Qin Gang to control them all." Lu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, said.

"Lord Lu, to tell you the truth, there are more than 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses under my command now. You mean all of them belong to the Ministry of War, right? That's great. I'm still worried about how to give They pay the food." Xiao Chen said.

"Thirty thousand? Why are there so many people?" Lu Jing was taken aback.

The total number of soldiers you brought with you was less than 10,000. After deducting the dead and wounded, there are at most four to five thousand. Why did 30,000 suddenly appear?

And my military department doesn't know yet.

It's not what you kid want to do, you!

Wouldn't it be too blatant to rebel?

"Hey, 30,000 is just infantry. I still have a few thousand sailors. Let's hand them all over to Mr. Lu. But let's talk about it first. The salaries of these soldiers are quite high. You can take it back." , but the salary cannot be reduced, otherwise they will make trouble!" Xiao Chen laughed.

Damn you, you still have a sailor?

"Forget it, these soldiers should be controlled by Xiao Chen. As a governor, he must have some soldiers, but Xiao Chen, let's make an agreement. I can't give you the salary of so many soldiers. You have to accept it." Yunjun raised the funds on its own." Li Wanjiang said.

"I can't afford it. Isn't the reason why I have so many soldiers to deter the Ross people? As soon as Shunfenggang takes over, the minister will dismiss them immediately, leaving a maximum of 3,000 troops. Anyway, there is General Qin Gang, and the minister wants to Those soldiers and horses are useless." Xiao Chen said.

"Xiao Chen, with your 30,000 or 40,000 people, you can always draw out 3,000 elites, right? Even 2,000 will do, so let's use it as a reserve team for Qin Gang." Li Wanjiang said again.

"I obey the order!" Xiao Chen replied happily, without any hesitation.

Let alone two thousand, even if more than 30,000 people were given to Qin Gang, it would be fine.

But I'm afraid he won't be able to command!
