Chapter 139 Without further ado

Qinghe City.

The imperial guards Long Guard attacked Fenghuang Ridge and sent Zhang Jinzhu to kill the Qinghe Rebels all over the world on the same day to Qinghe City, the capital of Qinghe County.

This news was not sent by Jia Lan, nor by the Linqing County Magistrate, but by the local tyrants in Linqing County, they were sent to the capital through the post station they controlled at the first time.

When they received this news, You Yuan and Cui Xunzheng were eager to discuss the situation with the Cui family, Fang family, Zhang family and other families in Qinghe. Everyone felt it was very difficult. The reason was that the people in the northwest did not cooperate at all, and they were arrogant and domineering, disregarding the interests of the Hebei great families and the inequality were doing what they wanted. The last families of Hebei and the inequality tyrants relied on their arms, secretly "confronted" with the great families, and on the other hand, they "secretly communicated with the people of the northwest, which resulted in today's passive situation.

Now the Douzigang Rebel Army is going to cross the river south to Qilu, and Gaojibo Rebel Army crossed the Zhangshui River north and fled to Yongji Canal far away, which has led to the great families being stretched to "arrange troops and formations". They can only hope for Zhang Jincheng's Qinghe Rebel Army, Yang Gongqing who was active in Handan, and Wang Deren's Taihang Rebel Army. However, at this time, shocking news came from Linqing that people in the northwest attacked Fenghuangling at night, killing Zhang Jincheng and other Qinghe Rebel Army into blood. The Qinghe Rebel Army instantly collapsed and failed to form an army.

Everyone was shocked. The people in the northwest were indeed a group of vicious wolves, too cunning. Just when everyone thought they were sweeping the high poles, they appeared like ghosts in Linqing City, three hundred miles away, and caught the Qinghe Rebel Army off guard. After being surprised, they were furious. The barbarians in the west bully too much. Do they really think that the people in Hebei are weak and easy to bully?

The situation is serious. There is no accurate news at present whether Li Yang wants to rebel. In fact, even if Yang Xuangan tells everyone in person, I want to rebel, it is a problem. Because the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the power left by Yang Su is too large, it is not easy for Yang Xuangan to be in the middle to command. Any mistake in any aspect may lead to a change in the entire plan. Therefore, Shandong people must help Yang Xuangan rebel, and must force Yang Xuangan to rebel. There are too many Shandong people who help Yang Xuangan rebel now. There are many Shandong scholars who are brave enough to charge and sacrifice themselves for death. The best way to force Yang Xuangan to rebel is to complete the preparation for raising the flag. The rebellion has become a fait accompliment. The arrow has to be fired on the string and decisively cut off the Yongji Canal. At this time, he has to rebel even if he does not rebel, and there is no possibility of compromise between him and the emperor.

This opportunity is very critical and directly determines the future interests of the Shandong family. If the choice of the right time can not only make the emperor's expedition fail, but also make Yang Xuangan passive. However, the Shandong family can take advantage of the momentum to seize the best interests while helping the emperor eliminate rebellion.

However, the people of the northwestern people hunluàn the situation in Hebei and destroyed the strategies of the Shandong great families. Their bloody killing of the Hebei rebel army and their deliberate deception of the hungry people in Hebei not only made Li Yang passive, but also made the Shandong great families in passive.

The Northwest people must be killed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Shandong family had to take action, but Li Yang had no choice. Once the people in the northwest arrived in Li Yang, the plan to raise the flag would be destroyed, and as long as they took action to kill people.

In this way, the Shandong family gave the opportunity to kill people with a knife. The Shandong family could use Yang Xuangan's hand to kill people from the northwest. One could force Yang Xuangan to rebel, and the other could avoid revenge from the Pei family and Xue family in Hedong.

So, who will go to Liyang? Who will implement this strategy?

Cui Xun was unruly, and he was the only candidate. You Yuan was the imperial censor and the deputy chief of the Censorate. Although he was inferior to Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites in terms of rank, the Shangshutai and the Censorate had no affiliation. You Yuan had the right to supervise all officials, which poses too great a threat to Yang Xuangan, so it was the most suitable for Cui Xun, the Censor. The Censor has a high status in the Censorate, but his official rank is only "hilarious" to the seventh rank, which is much different from the third rank of the Minister of Rites. The gap in the Censor naturally caused changes in his status, which constrained the "hands and feet" of the Censor, and often he had to "supervise" in a low-key manner.

Cui Xun volunteered, and You Yuan and the powerful families were of course happy, but they still showed concern on their faces and told him to be careful.

Cui Xun disagreed. His main purpose was not to go to Liyang, but to Dongdu. So far, Cui Ze and Cui Baode have not given him any reply. Although Cui Xun's letters have been constantly, they are like muddy bulls entering the sea, and it seems that they have not attracted enough attention from the Cui family. Perhaps Cui is still hesitating and waiting, but the situation in Hebei is changing faster and faster, and the time for the Cui family to make plans is less and less. Once the opportunity is missed, Cui's future will be too bleak. Cui can't sit still, worrying, and wishing to fly to Dongdu with both wings.

However, before leaving Qinghe, he had to do one more thing, that is, see Galan again.

When You Yuan, Cui Xun, Qinghe Cui family, Fang family and other families were eager to discuss countermeasures, Yuan Wuben also received the same news, which also came from the local tyrants in Linqing City.

Yuan Wuben was angry. The people in the northwest were like a greedy and hungry wolf. In order to gain military merits, they killed wantonly on the land of Hebei, which turned the situation in Hebei upside down and completely deviated from the original expectations, and was even more unfavorable to the flag-raising plan. What's even more terrible is that if the situation is not stopped and the situation is not quickly reversed, Li Yang's flag-raising plan may be seriously hindered.

"Please hurry to Liyang to report to Duke Chu." Yuan Wuben suppressed his anger and said to the contemplative thoughtful Shidan, "I will do my best to delay the inspection ambassador's footsteps."

Hu Shidan nodded slightly and said quietly, "In your opinion, You Yuan still wants to rush to Liyang now?"

Yuan Wuben sneered, "The people of the Northwest defeated the Douzigang rebels without any effort, and then swept the thieves in Gaojibo. Now they are even more surprised to attack Linqing and slaughter the Qinghe thieves on Phoenix Ridge. Mr., the first time the Northwest people set foot in Hebei, they still entered a state of no one. Without the strong support of You Yuan and Cui Xun, how could they achieve such a record? Liu Xuan took the initiative to defect to the Northwest people and ignored the loss of reputation. The meaning contained in this is not clear enough?"

"The Shaofu thought that the Hebei people had already grasped the invincible knife of the Northwest people?"

"If the Hebei people had not been to control the sword of the Northwest, why would it damage the sword in their hands? Liu Badao was dead, Gao Shida fled from Xindu, and now even Zhang Jinsheng was defeated by the big river. If the Hebei people had not been trying to make great profits, how could they lose such a big loss?"

Hu Shidan shook his hand, "The Shaofu underestimated the martial arts of the Northwest people, and should not look up to the wisdom of the Hebei people. I think that Hebei people are now caught off guard, frustrated, and very passive, just like us."

Yuan Wuben disagreed and was about to refute, but saw Hu Shidan shook his hand again, "Young Mansion can assume that if the people in Hebei guessed that there would be drastic changes in Liyang, from the standpoint of the Hebei family's grand hope, how will they make a plan? The people in the northwest killed the Hebei rebels into blood and collapsed, and brought countless hungry people to Liyang Cang to eat. What impact will this bring to Hebei? What variable will it bring to Liyang? Obviously, the practices of the people in the northwest are completely in line with the interests of the people in Hebei."

Yuan Wuben immediately refuted, "The land of Hebei is completely unfamiliar to the people in the northwest, and the people in the northwest actually defeated everything and were invincible in the battle, which is enough to explain the problem. Looking at the three battles of Jiangling, Zhangnan and Linqing, all of them were night attacks, and the most basic condition for night attacks is familiarity with the terrain. If the people in the northwest do not have the strong help of the people in the Hebei, there will be no possibility of victory."

Hu Shidan could not convince Yuanwuben, so he could not expect Yuanwuben to calm down and take advantage of the conflict between the Northwest people and the Hebei people to make clever profits.

"I went to Liyang, and is the Shaofu planning to continue to follow You Yuan as a surveillance, or is he looking for an excuse to rush to Wuyang County first?"

Yuan Wuben was arrogant and arrogant. Hu Shidan was unable to offer advice directly, so he could only secretly remind him. The county magistrate of Wuyang County was named Yuan Baozang, who was the clan brother of Yuan Wuben. The inspectors left Qinghe County and arrived in Wuyang County. If Wuyang County refused to open warehouses and release grain, then the inspectors and people from the northwest would be dragged down by the hungry people. Not only would they not be able to rush to Liyang, but they would also fall into a deep crisis.

"I went to Wuyang County." Yuan Wuben obviously thought of this and said without thinking, "After Wuyang, it is Ji County, which is close to Liyang. We must try our best to block the inspection mission in Wuyang. After returning to Liyang, please warn Duke Chu that the situation in Hebei is out of control and there is no time to delay. We must make a quick decision, not hesitate and delay the opportunity to fight."

Yuan Wuben was worried that after raising the flag, the Shandong people took advantage of the situation and attacked them. Li Yang was in trouble, so he had to kill the people in the northwest. The entire army of the northwest was wiped out, and the Shandong family's plan to use the sword of the northwest people to stop Li Yang's flag raising failed.

Hu Shidan nodded silently. Yuan Wuben's wrong judgment of the situation made him very uneasy. Originally, Li Yang wanted to pull Shandong people to rebel together, so he tried his best to win over local counties and powerful forces that controlled the Hebei rebel army through Shandong Confucian scholars. But today Hebei rebel army was repeatedly injured, but Yuan Wuben understood that Shandong's great families were going to use the sword of the Northwest people to slam the Hebei rebel army to destroy Li Yang's plan.

Yuanwu was wrong. Shandong people have always been an interest group, especially in the fierce game between Shandong people and Guanlong people, the Hebei rebel army will definitely stand on the side of the Shandong family. Even if the two sides have some conflicts, they will never turn against each other at critical moments. At this moment, the Shandong family will not continuously attack the Hebei rebel army to damage their own arms. Therefore, it is not the Hebei people who are promoting the development of the Hebei situation, but the Northwest people with ulterior motives. The people who really threaten the safety of Liyang are the Northwest people.

"The people in the northwest are the key." Hu Shitan hesitated and reminded him again and again, "Young Mansion must not be careless."

Of course, Yuan Wuben would not be careless, but he did not take the Northwest people seriously at all. He was just an imperial guard, the Dragon Guard and three hundred cavalrymen. Once he met the powerful Guard army, he would definitely die.

Cui Xun rushed to Linqing, but received news on the way that the imperial guards Longwei were rushing to Qingquan and hunting down the rebels in the area of ​​Chengxian.

Cui Xun then left the Baigou dike and chased towards Qingquan. Soon, he and his subordinates saw a great army of hungry people. Cui Xun immediately realized that the scene outside Ande City was repeated again, and Galan and the Northwest people were pushing themselves into a bottomless abyss.

Galan was very cold to Traxun, and Traxun was even more angry with him.

The hungry people in the plains have caused trouble to the inspection mission. Coordinating the opening of warehouses and grain distribution in various counties is still a trivial matter. The biggest problem is how to deal with the aftermath.

It is obviously a lie to eat when they arrive at Liyang Cang. Even if the people in the northwest brought the hungry people to Liyang and outside Liyang Cang, but without the emperor's imperial edict, who dared to open the Liyang Cang to help the hungry people? Will the emperor issue an imperial edict to open the warehouse and release grain? So far, from Youyuan and Cui Xun to Pingyuan County Government, the people who submitted the palace were memorials impeaching the people in the northwest, but they were all over the area for rebellion and hungry people. Everyone was talking about gold. When all the bureaucrats said that Hebei was very stable, the people had no worries about food and clothing, and the rebels were destroyed, the memorials of Jia Lan alone were not enough. Therefore, there would be no imperial edict to open the warehouse and release grain, and more importantly, the Hebei family and the Hebei bureaucrats would not let the Hebei hungry people rush to Liyang at all. Just imagine, once more than 100,000 or even more hungry people arrived in Liyang, and once the Hebei traitors were in trouble, the result was imagined.

People in Hebei could not bear it anymore and wanted to take action. They had to completely solve this matter in Wuyang County. The solution was to kill people with a knife.

However, Galan and the Northwest people became more and more arrogant, without knowing that they had fallen into the "trap" of the Hebei rebel army without knowing it and were exploited by the powerful people in Hebei. Now the Hebei rebel army has suffered a "strike" and basically lost the possibility of threatening Yongjiqu. In this way, they successfully "escape" from the battle between the Shandong Daqiu and the Guanlong nobles. In the future, Liyang will set off a storm. Only if they look at the direction and standpoint, they will not be swept by the storm and can survive without any fear.

The great families in Shandong were angry, and the Guanlong nobles in Liyang were also angry, and they all pointed their finger at the people in the northwest. However, at this time, the people in the northwest were still ignorant and fearless, and were once again "surrounded" by the hungry people, and were once again "kidnapping" by the hungry people, and had to fight against the government for the hungry people and forcefully opened warehouses and released grain.

What is the next result? It is the devastation of living beings, the large number of deaths of hungry people in Hebei, and the people in the northwestern area caused this disaster.

"If you have an accident, who will open a warehouse and release grain for them? Who will support them? Who will go to the aftermath for you?"

Cui Xun's expression was calm and gentle, and his tone was very slow and elegant, but the meaning between the lines was very sharp. A series of questions was equivalent to telling Galan bluntly that you had committed public anger and became the target of public criticism, and were full of dangers.

Jialan smiled, smiling confidently, "At present, in Hebei, no one can kill someone in this place." Jialan pointed to the dense crowds of people on the field, "They are some of their patron saints."

Cui Xun frowned slightly, unintentionally persuading Jia Lan on this matter. Is Jia Lan a crazy person? No. Since he is not a crazy person, why is his actions so crazy? There is only one explanation. He is implementing a certain strategy, and the craftsman of this strategy is Pei Shiju, and even the instructor from the emperor. Cui Xun believes that with the current situation in Hebei, he is very sure to convince Cui Zi and Cui Baode, so that Cui can quickly form an alliance with Pei and jointly resist the upcoming storm.

"I'm going to Liyang," said Trixon.

Jialan glanced at him and smiled, "The wind is everywhere on the mountain rain. Now Liyang is very windy, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time."

Cui Xunchen said nothing, and a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.

"Someone's suggestion is..." Galan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to Dongdu quickly."

"The heavy rain is coming?"

"It's soon." Galan looked up at the sky, and his tone suddenly became heavier. "Before the heavy rain comes, I can't reach Liyang." Galan turned his head and looked at Cui Xun, saying with a pun, "So, prepare the rain gear."

Cui Xun's heart suddenly tightened and he blurted out, "Aren't you going to Liyang?"

"Why did you want to go to Liyang?" Jialan sneered, "Will you go and die?"

Cui Xun suddenly realized and became more and more convinced of his inferences. Everything was under the calculations of the emperor and Pei Shiju. The storm was too great. If Cui was not careful, he might be washed away by the flood.

Without further ado, go to Dongdu immediately.
