Chapter 2143 Guizi Juan is indistinguishable from public and private interests

   "Ru Jun, what do you mean?" Qi Yongtai asked after pondering for a long time. He needed to solicit several interested parties.

  Qiao Yingjia, Han Yu and even Sun Juxiang are all from southern Shanxi, especially Qiao Yingjia's hometown Yi and Han Yu's hometown Puzhou are the most dangerous.

  Qiao Yingjia also hesitated.

  Theoretically, he should urge Shanxi Town and Datong Town to send more troops to the south to suppress the rebellion. Feng Ziying also warned on this point.

Once there is chaos in the south of Shanxi, the consequences will be quite serious. The three prefectures of Huaiqing, Weihui, and Zhangde in the north of Henan are adjacent to the south of Jinnan. The two prefectures of Guangping and Daming in the south of Beizhili are close to each other. It can be said that any chaos in the south of Shanxi will directly affect the entire Central Plains, which he does not want to see.

At present, Li Tingji has officially retired due to health reasons, and there is still a shortage of one person in the cabinet. Several major ministers are competing for the position of cabinet minister. He is the strongest contender for the vacant Shangshu post.

   Now coveting this cabinet minister, such as Huang Ruliang, Zhang Jingqiu, Gu Bingqian, Guan Yingzhen, and even Liu Yixiu, any one of them can trigger a series of adjustments.

  Because of this, he didn't want to be accused behind his back of neglecting the overall situation because he only cared about his hometown, which would be very detrimental to his competition for the position of Shangshu.

  You must know that there are people who are as powerful as him, such as Chai Ke, who has quite profound qualifications.

Qiao Yingjia hesitated, but Han Yu didn't have so many scruples anymore, and stared at him: "Ru Jun, what else is there to consider? Chai Guozhu collected all the guards in southern Shanxi to enrich his Shanxi Town. Now Pingyang is in trouble. Can he still stand by and watch? There have been more than four or five rebellious troops entering Pingyang, with a population of more than 20,000. In addition to the local mob in Pingyang, the number has already exceeded 30,000, but there are not enough guards in Pingyang Three thousand people, the combat power of those private troops is not worth mentioning at all, if Shanxi Town does not send a large army to the south, the counties and counties of Pingyang Prefecture will definitely not be spared, unless the troops from Feng Tang's Northwest Army are transferred back to the west!"

   "No!" Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and even Sun Juxiang all denied Han Yan's idea with one voice, "The Northwest Army cannot move!"

   Now the Northwest Army's offensive in Shandong is in full swing. The armies of Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu are joining forces to resist, but it is obvious that they can't stand it anymore.

  After losing Dongping, Juye, Jiaxiang, and Jinxiang successively, the Northwest Army is fighting fiercely with Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army in Yutai.

Niu Jizong is also aware of the seriousness of the problem, and is slowly withdrawing from Jining Prefecture to the south. It is estimated that the imperial court will recover Jining and Yanzhou within a few days, which means that within a month at the latest, the entire Shandong will be restored and the war will turn around. Enter the territory of South Zhili.

  At this time, if the situation of the battle changes due to the mobilization of the Northwest Army, no one can bear the entire responsibility.

Negating Han Yu's proposal, Qiao Yingjia finally raised his eyes: "Chengfeng, there is no room for loss in southern Shanxi, otherwise the Central Plains will be in danger, and it will also affect Shandong, which we may have just recovered. It is hard to say that these rebels have anything to do with Nanjing." There is no collusion and mutual support, so I am afraid we have to urge Chai Guozhu and Yang Yuan to send more troops to the south."

  Qi Yongtai glanced at the three of them, and finally nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll talk to Jinqing and Huaichang, I'm afraid it's too late."

"It's better to be late than never. When the chaos breaks out, even if the army goes south, it can be calmed down. After all, it's not like Shaanxi, where the army has to go south, and the local food and grass can't be guaranteed." Han Yu sighed, "It's hard for Ziying, How could he settle Yan'an, Qingyang and Pingliang in that poor place in northern Shaanxi?"

  ********

   It was half a month later when Feng Ziying received the news.

   But the message is quite different.

Shanxi Town's second round of more than 20,000 troops had just had time to go south, and the Shuiquanying Fort not far from Laoniu Bay was harassed by Tumed's army under the control of Su Nang. Immediately afterwards, Fengzhou Bailian launched an attack on the front line of Shuanggoudun , which greatly shocked the two towns of Shanxi and Datong.

You must know that the Tumed people have not launched an attack on the side wall for many years. Since the third lady has controlled the overall situation of the Tumed people, the two sides have maintained peace and even established a good relationship. But he took the lead in provoking the war against Da Zhou.

   And Toyosu Hakuren appeared in the form of an army and began to attack the border of Datong Town, which is also a disturbing sign.

  The official appearance of the White Lotus in Fengzhou means that the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi, Beizhi, and even Shandong may also turn from a dormant state to an active period, or even enter a period of outbreak.

  This bad news is enough to offset the joy of the Northwest Army regaining Jining and Yanzhou, and completely driving Niu Jizong's Xuanfu Army and Sun Shaozu's Datong Army out of Shandong.

Facing the aggressive offensives of the Tumets and Fengzhou Bailian, both Shanxi Town and Datong Town were in frequent distress, and both immediately reduced and slowed down the deployment of sending troops southward, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of troops going southward, and the speed was also greatly increased. slow.

  Feng Ziying knew it was going to be bad as soon as she saw the news.

   Others may not have realized it, but Feng Ziying can assert that the White Lotus Sect definitely played an important role in it, and maybe the Nanjing side also played a role in it.

  How could it be such a coincidence that when the troops of Shanxi Town and Datong Town were going south, Su Nang and Fengzhou Bailian were about to invade the border?

   This is obviously to restrain the troops of the second town from going south, and buy time and opportunities for the development of the Shaanxi rebel army after entering Jin Dynasty.

   Moreover, there is no follow-up news about the bandits of Su Nang and Fengzhou Bailian. Obviously, this kind of banditry is harassing, and there is no possibility of really capturing a certain section of the border wall, or even breaking into the interior.

  But for Chai Guozhu and Yang Yuan, they would rather believe in something than nothing.

  The strength itself has been greatly weakened, so they are not very willing to go south to quell the chaos. Now they have more reasons to shirk, and send fewer or no troops to the south.

If this is a trick by the Nanjing side, then their goal has been achieved, and they have prevented the Second Town's troops from going south, but how much momentum can the Shaanxi rebellious army that entered Jin make in southern Jin, and how much effect can it play? , which is still an unknown.

However, Feng Ziying has a bad premonition. If the rebellious army in Jin Dynasty gains power in the south of Jin, I am afraid that as he lets the "rebellious army" of destroying the city follow Qiu Zixiong's "rebellious army" to go south to chase and suppress, the rebellious people in Xi'an Prefecture will not be able to deal with it. When the army has no hope of going west and faces threats from the north, it will cross the Yellow River east and enter Jin on a larger scale. At that time, the situation will be really unpredictable.

   Tens of thousands of rebellious troops poured into southern Shanxi. I am afraid that Pingyang, Zezhou, and Lu'an prefectures will not be able to resist it, and it may even affect the situation of the three prefectures in Henan north of the Yellow River.

   It's just that although he thinks a lot, he is beyond his reach and difficult to ask.

  Now I can only honestly clean up the situation in Shaanxi first, whether it is Shanxi or Henan, it is not my turn to worry about it.

   Even if my father is now conquering Shandong, I am afraid he will also face the suspicion of the court.

  The governor of the three sides will definitely be removed, and the Northwest Army will also be split up if it fails. In the end, it depends on how Laodi, Niu Jizong, and Sun Shaozu fought in Xuzhou, and Chen Jixian's final attitude.

  Seeing Feng Ziying fascinated by the report from the imperial court, Wang Wenyan couldn't help asking: "My lord, has the situation changed?"

"Well, it's hard to say. It's similar to what we know before. The situation in southern Shanxi continues to deteriorate, but the Tumet people and Fengzhou Bailian are harassing the north again. The court has made a foolish move. Chai Guozhu asked to reduce the number of troops going south, and Yang Yuan asked to let go. Going south slowly, the court has agreed, I am very worried that there will be trouble."

Wang Wenyan was a little puzzled by Feng Ziying's words, "Shanxi Township already has 10,000 troops on its way to the south. Even if the follow-up troops are reduced, or there is no army in Datong Township, I think it will be no problem to deal with those chaotic troops in southern Shanxi, right? Enter The rebel army in Pingyang is no more than 10,000 to 20,000 people, and the local rebels are only 20,000 to 30,000 people, it is impossible to resist the Shanxi army's suppression."

"Not necessarily." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Shanxi Town lost too much in Su Shengdu's battle, and these troops were recruited from the guards and minzhuang in southern Shanxi to supplement them. How long will it take and how much combat power will be gained? Promotion? If there is a slight negligence, it is not impossible to play Su Shengdu's story again."

  Hearing this, Wang Wenyan was silent, and asked after a while, "Then how should we respond?"

"The matter has come to this, so what can we do? Let's act according to our own plan. Modren has captured Huan County?" Feng Ziying sneered, "It seems that the two eagle dogs, Modren and Qiu Zixiong, have been released. After that, I let myself go a little bit and didn't follow my request."

"My lord, there are still some reasons. Almost all the gentry in Huanxian County have hid in the county seat. Some of them are heinous and the people are very angry. If Modren doesn't take down the county seat, it will be difficult to win the support of the rebellious troops from the surrounding vassals. So he had to fight." Wang Wenyan explained: "And he also sent someone to explain, after taking down Huanxian, he will go down along Huanhe River after a short rest, circle around the edge of Anhua, and go straight into the town Yuan and Jingzhou."

   "I have a lot of appetite." Feng Ziying actually didn't have much ill feeling towards Modren's attack on Huan County.

   It’s still the same sentence, the general’s orders are not accepted, everything needs to be decided by Modren and the others, how to fight is more appropriate, don’t worry too much about the details, he only needs the final result.

Judging from Modren's current actions, it is still quite smooth. If Zhenyuan and Jingzhou are really captured, and then suddenly enter Ningzhou, it will basically circle around Qingyang Mansion and take the entire Shaanxi The situation in the three northern prefectures was completely messed up.
