Jialan ordered Longwei Mansion to rest in Huanshui Town.*1*1*

The army cannot leave anymore. Even if it is rushing to Qinghe County for 100,000 yuan, it is meaningless. It will inevitably repeat Feng Xiaoci's mistakes...

On that day, Jialan repeatedly warned Feng Xiaoci that Hebei must be cautious in suppressing the rebellion, and that the real purpose of suppressing the rebellion in Hebei must be seen. However, Feng Xiaoci did not pay attention to Jialan's opinion. After all, Jialan is a native of the Northwest. In Feng Xiaoci's opinion, Jialan did not understand Hebei. Feng Xiaoci paid a heavy price for this. Now he "left" and Jialan is here, but the situation is even worse. Although Jialan saw the future through the fog of history, he didn't know how to pass through this fog.

There is also an urgent matter that makes Jialan feel very difficult. Dong always "speaks without back pain while standing", and ordered Jialan to "reorganize the defeated troops in Hebei" and "suppress the rebels". The execution of the latter order was based on the completion of the previous order. However, although Feng Xiaoci's army was not many, there were senior officers such as General Wu Ben, General Wu Yalang, and other intermediate officers such as General Ying Yanglang, General Ying Flash Lang. Following the wings were the Hebei local army commander and the county chiefs of the commander of the township regiment. Jialan was just a fifth-rank Xiongwulang general in the Imperial Guard Xiaoguo Army. Why should he "reorganize" this army?

Feng Yi came to welcome him in advance, which is also an important reason. The crimes for the first battle against the rebellion can be large or small, but the crimes for the loss of the commander will be large. The emperor, the central government and the Guard Office will definitely hold them accountable. All middle and senior officers in the army will be punished for this. The severe ones may be beheaded and dismissed, and the mild ones may be dismissed or demoted, so that the morale of the army is extremely disbanded at this moment. Not to mention morale, and the middle and senior officers are trying to use their relationship to protect their interests to the greatest extent. You can imagine that at this time, Galan went to rectify the army and violated the vital interests of the middle and senior officers. How serious the consequences will be.

Dongdu must have considered this issue and reported the relevant disposal opinions to the emperor and the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will definitely take this opportunity to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey". Even if he does not behead his head, he will be dismissed from office and dismissal a large number of officers. For this reason, Feng Yi suggested that Jialan do not rush to Qinghe County. Wait for the emperor to "solve" those officers first, and then "reorganize the army". As for the attack on the rebels, wait until the new Hebei quelling commander appointed by the emperor arrives before making a decision. In short, don't be the first, be low-key, do things, and try to push the responsibility to others as much as possible, and leave the benefits to yourself.

Longwei Mansion has entered Hebei in the shortest time. It has already had a deterrent effect on the thieves in Hebei and has basically curbed the continued deterioration of the situation in Hebei. Therefore, it is also the best way to temporarily settle down in Huanshui Town in the name of rest and rest. Waiting for the development of the situation and patience to find a good opportunity for "attack".

Liu Xuan arrived in a hurry and Jialan greeted the canal.

After the ceremony, Liu Xuan asked, "Will the murder be launched when he enters Hebei again?"

Jia Lan shook her head, "The Emperor and the Palace are still stranded in Gaoyang and there is no sign of returning to the Eastern Capital. Feng Xiaoci's death and the critical situation in Hebei are all targeting the Emperor and the Palace. Didn't the master see some clues from it?"

Liu Xuan sighed, "Do you have any exact news?"

Jia Lan Zheng pointed out, "I once warned Feng Shuai repeatedly, but unfortunately he did not understand someone's intention from beginning to end."

"You know, in the late Kaihuang year, he firmly opposed the late emperor's eastern expedition to Goguryeo. At the beginning of the Daye, he also tried his best to persuade Your Majesty not to launch an Eastern Expedition." Liu Xuan closed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty is stubborn and makes mistakes again and again, and Zhongtu will pay a heavy price for this."

Jialan thought for a moment and asked, "Although the country's destiny is in danger, it is not in a desperate situation. Does the master have a way to save him?"

Liu Xuan frowned and said angrily, "What is the purpose of the third Eastern Expedition? Tuyuhun is the lesson of the past, but Your Majesty ignored it and ignored it. However, a group of slander ministers in the central government ignored the safety of the Central Land for their own selfish interests and helped the evildoers. The evil committed by heaven can still be forgiven, but they cannot survive. They only suffer the lives of the world."

Jialan hesitated for a moment, but asked again, "The master should have a way to save him?"

Without hesitation, Liu Xuan immediately asked, "Who will save the people?"

"Middle Earth is stable, the emperor and the central government are in power, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people can be saved."

"Above is a group of arrogant and ignorant crazy people, and below is a group of shameless villains who are profit-oriented. How can Middle Earth be stable under their control? How can the people live in peace under their slavery?"

Galan looked grim and said nothing.

Liu Xuan pointed to the north and shouted loudly, "At this moment, the wars of wars in the Middle Earth are rising everywhere, the foundation of the country is shaking, and the mountains and rivers are facing the danger of collapse. The emperor and the central government turn a blind eye to each other, and ignore them, and they are going to launch the third Eastern Expedition. How do you say how to save Middle Earth and how to save the people?"

"In a certain opinion, Goguryeo is already dying after two heavy blows. The third Eastern Expedition is just a result of reaping results." Galan said calmly, "From the overall situation, the victory of the Third Eastern Expedition can save the authority of the emperor and the central government and help the emperor and the central government quickly reverse the passive situation in the court."

"I said that Tuguryuhun is the lesson of the past." Liu Xuan sighed helplessly, "Goguryuly is the second Tuguryuhun. Once the Turks in the desert threaten the Great Wall, causing tension in the northern border, the army garrisoning Goguryu will inevitably evacuate, and the Goguryui will inevitably take the opportunity to restore the country. The emperor and the central government will eventually find nothing and have no face."

Galan slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes showed murderous intent, and sneered, "If Pyongyang was destroyed, the King of Goguryeo, the entire Goguryeo army was wiped out, and all the young and strong men in Goguryeo were killed, will Goguryeo become the second Tuyuhun?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Jialan in surprise, and then asked angrily, "Can you kill all? Can you destroy his clan and his seeds?"

"Someone does not need to destroy his clan, they only need enough heads to intimidate the Northern Territories, to shock the rebels in the country, and to win enough time for the emperor and the central government to stabilize the empire."

Liu Xuan showed a sad look and shook his head slowly. He was extremely disappointed with Galan. After all, Galan was still a ferocious wolf and a bloody sword, besides killing and killing.

As time entered late November, Xue Deyin first came from Wencheng, and then Kong Yingda and Gavinda arrived together. Soon, Chai Shao and Wei Zheng also rushed to Huanshui Town.

While discussing the current situation with Shandong famous scholars, Jialan also visited Yuan Baozang, the chief of Wuyang County, and specially invited Wei Deshen, the commander of the township, to have an in-depth conversation. Wei Deshen's official voice was honest and preserved the entire county when the thieves in Hebei were raging. Jialan hoped to learn some real things from him.

November 24th. The emperor's imperial decree was delivered to Longwei Mansion.

Except for Feng Yi, the other high and middle-level officers under Feng Xiaoci's tent were severely punished, and the worst was dismissed and they were "stopped". The "bad consequence" brought about was that no one was willing or dared to go to Hebei to suppress the rebellion. At this moment of crisis, anyone who went to Hebei to suppress the rebellion would inevitably repeat Feng Xiaoci's mistakes. So, this unlucky errand was spread on Jialan's head.

The emperor issued an order to give Yang Gongren, the Minister of Personnel, the ambassador of Hebei to arrest the ambassador, but Yang Gongren was serving the emperor at the palace at this moment and had no time to withdraw. He then appointed the Imperial Guard, Xiongwulang General Jia Lan, on behalf of Hebei to temporarily serve the ambassador of Hebei and to be fully responsible for the suppression of the rebellion.

Galan was pushed to the forefront and could not hide even if she wanted to.

After receiving the imperial edict, Jialan immediately invited Liu Xuan, Kong Yingda, Gavinda, Xue Deyin, Chai Shao, Wei Zheng and others to the commander's tent. In a word, you must come up with countermeasures, otherwise you will start a big killing.

The middle of winter has arrived, and the river is frozen, and the Yongji Canal waterway is suspended. The northbound transportation is all over by land. The land is directly facing the plunder of two rebels, Taihang and Gaojipo. Therefore, Jialan is in a dilemma. If the Qinghe thief, who is called Zhang Jin, it will be difficult to take care of all land transportation. However, if all the troops are sent to protect the land transportation, the pursuit of the Qinghe thief must be temporarily given up, which will arouse resentment from the soldiers and affect the morale of the army.

Chai Shao and Wei Zheng represented Dugu Zhen and Zhaojun Li clan, representing the interests of Wuchuan Group in Hebei and the interests of the northern Hebei family and the wealthy families headed by Zhaojun Li clan. Of course, they should try their best to protect the land "main artery" leading to Youyan. They beg Jialan to focus on the northern border towns and garrisons and mobilize the main force to suppress the thieves on Liyang, Handan and Zhending. When the westward generals, Buyi, Feng Yi and other army generals were eager to go to Qinghe to suppress the thieves. One was to avenge Feng Xiaoci, and the other was to Gaojipo too close to Gaoyang, which threatened the safety of the emperor and the palace. For this reason, they must comply with the imperial edict and devote all their troops to suppress the thieves on Qinghe.

The argument was fruitless.

That night, Jialan lingers in Liu Xuan's tent. Liu Xuan is old and is exhausted when he is in a hurry. It is also in the middle of winter, the weather is cold, and his physical condition is very bad. Jialan is too unhappy and is about to leave, but Kong Yingda and Gavinda are coming together.

Gavinda and Kong Yingda are similar in age. They are the personal disciples of Liu Zhuo, the great scholar of Hebei, who are gentle and elegant, outstanding. Due to the Yang Xuangan rebellion, many Confucian scholars in Shandong are on the list of arrests, including Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda is in a dangerous situation, but he is clean and unwilling to join as a thief, so he hides at Gavinda's home in Jicheng. This time, Liu Xuan "come out" again. Considering that he was in poor health and was worried that he could not help Hebei people, he invited Kong Yingda and asked to go to Longwei Mansion together. Liu Xuan promised Kong Yingda to ensure his personal safety. In fact, as long as Galan can accept Kong Yingda, the Longwei Mansion is indeed its best place to hide.

Just as Galan needed capable people, Kong Yingda came and brought Gavinda. She was like a tiger with wings. Of course, Galan accepted it. She was very fond of good things she wanted, and she got help from heaven.

When Kong Yingda saw that Jia Lan was also there, she knew that he was worried and the situation was really tense. In addition, the old man Liu Xuan was right in front of him, so she opened her mind and said something.

"Is the general determined to kill the Qinghe thieves? Determined to wipe out Gaojipo?"

"The river is frozen, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare. The thieves on both sides can go and go back and forth, and they cannot be killed at all." Jialan shook his hand without thinking and sighed, "It's cold and cold, and the elderly, weak, women and children are short of clothes and food. Once the war begins, they will be hungry and will be full of people. It is a serious sin."

Kong Yingda and Gavinda looked at each other, and their eyes showed joy at the same time.

"But someone must follow the order to suppress the thieves." Galan's face turned aside and continued, "So, someone wants to meet some suitable people within the right time, and for this reason, someone needs the help of two gentlemen."
