Chapter 482 Changes

  Yangcheng's military strength can be said to be pitifully small. There are only about 40 people in total, including yamen chaps, yamen servants, watchmen, grooms, and porters.

   As far as these people are concerned, most of them were recruited by Su Jingchen after he took office.

   "If we really retreat to Yangcheng, we have no chance of winning!" Li Wenyuan sighed.

  The number of people is here, no matter how you defend, it is only a matter of time before Hu Jun breaks through the city gate.

  Li Wenyuan complained to the emperor in his heart, this North and South General has no army in his hands, so is he still called a General?

   Don't the new emperor understand the principle of using people without suspicion and doubting people without using them? Didn't the emperor ever think about what to do if war broke out on the border?

  In fact, Jun Tingye thought that as an emperor, it is the mission of every emperor to defend the territorial integrity of the country.

However, Zhennan General Yu Zhenwu and Zhenbei General Li Guangpu are both old ministers of the former emperor. Jun Tingye wanted to cultivate someone he trusted to take over these two crucial positions, but it was not easy to kill the donkey. , directly removed the military power of the two generals in the north and the south, and adopted a more tactful method. On the grounds that the two generals had been fighting for many years and they were old, they first weakened part of the troops of Yu Zhenwu and Li Guangpu, and transferred them away. The border, retreated to Zhou County not far from the border.

  At the same time, in order to prevent other countries from invading, they each dispersed small groups of troops in the surrounding counties. However, if Li Guangpu wants to integrate these troops, it will take a lot of effort.

  Jun Tingye's meaning is obvious, border counties can be lost, but the news of other countries' invasion cannot be false.

  The frontier is lost, and it can be regained by integrating troops, but if someone uses the pretext of war on the border to gather troops and horses for the purpose of rebellion, that would be bad.

   "So, our Yangcheng will be lost?" Li Wenyuan's face changed drastically.

  Su Jingchen glanced at him, "If Linzhou can't defend, then it's only a matter of time before Hu Jun breaks through our Yangcheng!"

  He had a premonition that Lee Gwangpo's support would not come in such a timely manner.

  Now it depends on the plan of King Linzhou. If he abandons the people of Linzhou and retreats to Yangcheng, he will not only lose his fiefdom, but also lose the reputation of King Linzhou.

   But it is unrealistic for him to rely on those stragglers to defend Linzhou.

   Unless the king of Linzhou is willing to use his private soldiers.

  But will Jun Mobai know?

   Before he has the absolute strength to rebel, his private soldiers must not show up in the public eye, otherwise he will die.

  The lives of the people are nothing compared to the life of the king of Linzhou, so Su Jingchen concluded that Jun Mobai would retreat to Yangcheng.

Not only will he retreat to Yangcheng, but he will also lead officials like them to retreat again and again. Only in this way can the emperor send a large number of troops to support him, and Qi Yunfan once said that Li Guangpu's Deputy General An has long been Jun Mo. white people.

  As long as Li Guangpu brings troops to confront Hu Jun head-on, the day when Hu Jun is repelled is probably the day of Li Guangpu's death, and the military power of the Zhenbei Army will fall into the hands of Jun Mobai.

  As long as Jun Mobai greets Zhennan General Yu Zhenwu in advance and asks him to provoke the war in the southern border, then Jun Mobai can lead troops to the southern border to support in an open and honest manner. When the time comes, the two armies will meet and attack Fengyuan City.

  This—is the ultimate goal of Jun Mobai!

  Of course, all the above are Su Jingchen's inferences, but as long as Jun Mobai retreats to Yangcheng without even struggling in a few days, it will prove that his inferences are correct.

   "Then what should we do? Where can we retreat?" Li Wenyuan looked anxious.

Since he came to Yangcheng, under the leadership of Su Jingchen, he has devoted himself to serving the people. With great difficulty, he has slightly improved the lives of the people in Yangcheng. He couldn't bear to let him abandon the city and leave the people indifferent. !

  Su Jingchen frowned. Now his state of mind has already changed. No matter who becomes the emperor, he must put the people and their livelihood first.

  Although Jun Tingye may be timid and cautious, in terms of reforming new laws, he is still a good emperor who thinks about the people.

"Order the people in the north of Yangcheng to move to Jinzhou. If they are inconvenient and cannot travel far, they should hide on the mountain with food. If there is really nowhere to go, they can enter the city. Now you have to send people to the two city gates immediately. , Strengthen the fortifications.

  Didn’t our county government recruit a few new servants recently? The identities of those people need to be checked carefully, there may be spies of barbarians.

  Send yamen to check the door numbers of the common people carefully, except for the gentry and women, they will call and interrogate the people by name.

  If there are people with relatives in the city, they must be claimed by their relatives when they enter the city.

  If there is a single person who is unknown and has no tokens with him, it is especially necessary to inquire carefully.

   Tourists, food monks, and foreign doctors, divination, astrology and selling medicines are not allowed to be put in.

   It is not only necessary to openly interrogate, but also to arrange secret sentries, because this is the only way to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

  Li Wenyuan was a little confused, "Sneak whistle? What kind of secret method?"

  He was afraid that he might misunderstand Su Jingchen, so he had to ask straightforwardly.

   "There are two types of dark whistle.

  First, the government will send a few conscientious and bold servants, and let them make visits.

  The second way is to invite local traders to investigate secretly. Of course, these traders must be people who can be deployed with confidence after eliminating suspicion. "

  Li Wenyuan nodded, hearing that Su Jingchen planned to defend Yangcheng to the death.

   "My lord, what if King Linzhou asks us to abandon the city?"

   "Don't give up!" Su Jingchen looked firmly.

  That's right, Su Jingchen's mood has changed now.

  Qi Yunfan wanted to use Jun Mobai to conquer the world, but Jun Mobai wanted to use the people to create a **** path for him. Su Jingchen couldn't cooperate with this.

   "This..." Li Wenyuan was shocked.

  To be honest, it is meaningful to help the people get rid of poverty and rebuild their homes, but he does not want to lose his life at all.

  Su Jingchen saw Li Wenyuan's hesitation, "If you are afraid of death, you can go with King Linzhou when he retreats, and I will not stop you!"

  Everyone has his own ambitions, and Su Jingchen didn't think he could hold Yangcheng, so there was no need to drag Li Wenyuan to die with him.

  I hope Lee Gwangpo can come in time.

   Li Wenyuan lowered his head, stood up and opened the door to leave after a while, "I'll go out and make arrangements first!"

  Su Jingchen looked at Li Wenyuan's back with burning eyes.

  As soon as Li Wenyuan left, Yu Xiaolian pushed the door in. She was in the side hall just now and heard Su Jingchen's deployment clearly.

   I understand Su Jingchen's plan at this time. In the book, Su Jingchen is a good official who is dedicated to the community and the welfare of the people. When Su Jingchen said a few years ago that he would conspire with Qi Yunfan, Yu Xiaolian was still very puzzled.

  As long as there is a struggle for power, rivers of blood must be shed. She thought that Su Jingchen had already been prepared for this.

   "It's stupid to plan indifferently, Lian'er, I don't know how naive I was a few years ago until today!" Su Jingchen was very confused.

  He broke his promise and betrayed his agreement with Qi Yunfan.
