Wen Xuan asked at this time: "Is this too risky? Can this little force really play a role in winning or losing in this chaos in Jiangnan? Also, Brother Wan, have you ever thought about what should our Huating do next once this garrison force leaves the county town?"

Afterwards, Master Tian also expressed his concern: "Yes, although the Xinjiang rebels were repelled by us this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the people elsewhere will not come again. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food stored by the Luotian Sect, so they cannot give up here easily!"

The two assistant officials attach great importance to Huating's county, which is related to their vision and their interests. After all, they are just small officials in one county, and the overall situation in Jiangnan is too far away from them. As long as Huating is not lost, the imperial court will not be able to pursue the chaos in Jiangnan.

But Li Ling is different. He came here to deal with Luo Tian Cult. Moreover, he also understood a truth: "Two, have you ever thought about it? How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest? If Jinling really falls into this, it will prove that Jiangnan is completely in chaos. Will the rebels let us go?" Especially me, who has ruined the Luo Tian Cult's major events many times, I will become a thorn in their side and are the target they must eliminate.

Li Ling's words made the two officials who wanted to dissuade him suddenly say nothing, and he looked at Wan Shenji again: "But the safety of Huating is also very important. It is not only because of the food, but also because these new soldiers are the people of Huating. If there is really a good place here, do you think these new soldiers will still obey orders?"

This is the biggest difference between new recruits and veterans. The former still has not gotten rid of the local imprint. Their combat is only to defend their homes and protect their relatives. However, it is too difficult to make them go to other places regardless of their hometowns.

Wan Shenji was also silent. He really didn't consider this: "In this way, won't we be able to do anything?"

"No, the idea of ​​taking the initiative is still very good, but we shouldn't do it. After all, it's not over yet. Only our county is still under the control of the court." Li Ling smiled, "Don't forget that our city is still safe, and there is a battalion of real officials stationed there."

"Yes, how can I ignore this force..."

"It's still wise, the soldiers and horses in the city will only be more elite than our new recruits. As long as they are dispatched, why worry about not being able to wipe out those mobs?"

Everyone spoke, their expressions much easier than before. Just now, they were just thinking about how to break the situation by themselves. Now they realized that the situation was not so dangerous, and there were other helpers outside Huating County.

"But Fucheng is more important than our Huating. How many troops can they dispatch?" Wen Xuan then raised his concerns.

"All! Send all the troops of Shanzi Camp to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible." Li Ling immediately gave his own opinion.

"This is impossible. They must keep people to defend the city, otherwise, the rebels will inevitably pose a threat to the city." Tian Zhuan judged others by himself and immediately refuted.

"So we need us." Li Ling looked at Wan Shenji, "If we are the recruits in the whole Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, it will be a drop in the bucket, but if we only defend the city, it will be more than enough. We can divide half of our troops to go to the city, and cooperate with local servants, so that we can help defend the city without losing it. In this way, the Shanzi Camp will be liberated, so that they can take the initiative to attack and quell the rebellion!

"And, in this way, our new recruits will not suffer defeat and damage on the battlefield due to encountering strong enemies. If they just defend the city, they can still exert their maximum combat power."

His explanation really makes people unable to make any mistakes. The only thing that makes people a little suspicious is that he, a county magistrate, can he really make the boss of the city obey his will? Even if he seems to have helped the prefect eliminate dissidents before, he is the boss after all.

However, it is difficult for them to raise this question directly, otherwise they would seem too disrespectful to their superiors. Except for Li Moyun, no one here knows the close relationship between Li Ling and the prefect Wei Liang. In their opinion, something that is unreliable is not a problem at all for Li Ling.

He quickly looked at Wan Shenji who was still hesitant: "Brother Wan, I will give you all the right to entrust this matter. I will write to the prefect and tell him all our inferences and decisions, and you will take people to the city, and then you will stay there to help guard the city. As for this, you can rest assured that with Mo Yun and the others and the remaining half of the recruits, there will be no trouble in the county town."

After saying this, Li Ling took out paper and pen without waiting for the other party to answer, and wrote letters bit by bit.

Wan Shenji and the others looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in their eyes. But in the end, they didn't say much. Just looking at Lord Li's confident tone and reaction, they knew that he had made up his mind this time, and it might not be useful to persuade him. Moreover, in addition, they really couldn't come up with a better countermeasure to break this game.

...

It is midsummer and the heat waves are constantly invading Luoyang, the capital.

This made this huge capital with a population of one and a half million much colder than before, especially in the afternoon, there were no people in the streets and alleys in the city, and it was even colder in the major yamen and palaces.

For the young people who are promoted to the Dou Dou, the way to cool off is to hide under the shade of trees, take a palm fan, and eat two melons that have passed by the well. But for those high-ranking officials, the situation is much better. Large pieces of ice are taken out of the cellar and placed in the hall. In a short while, the surrounding environment will naturally cool down.

As the prime minister of the dynasty, Lu Zhen had enough ice cubes to cool him down even in the public room of the Zhengshitang. Not only were there several ice basins in the room, but there were also a huge ice basin on the desk, with excellent grapes and wine and various fruits in it. The taste was naturally excellent under the ice.

However, Lu Zhen had no intention of doing this pastime. Since the beginning of summer, there have been many disaster reports everywhere in the world. After waiting for him, the prime minister of the current dynasty to examine and deal with it, he would not have time to eat.

Just as he finished processing a document in Huainan and wanted to take a rest and eat a few bites of melon, the closed door was already knocked by someone. Lu Zhen frowned and said softly: "Come in."

Immediately the door opened, and a man stepped in with a panic look, not wanting to go in a hurry. His feet behind him were still hanging on the threshold and almost fell down. He was so embarrassed. Lu Zhen was surprised when he saw the visitor: "Ziyuan, why are you so panicked? Has something big happened?"

The person who came here was Ding Yuan, the Minister of War, and was always a calm and steady person. He had never been so ruthless. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "Lu Xiang forgives his crimes, but the officials are really anxious. There was a big incident in Jiangnan and Jiangnan, and there was suddenly chaos in the people everywhere, and the momentum was quite high. This is the 600-mile urgent letter sent to the capital in Jiangnan. Please read it with your left eye."

Even Lu Zhen was so sophisticated that he suddenly changed his expression when he heard this report. After a while, he calmed down his expression and said in a deep voice: "Take it and see it." He took the document sent in a hurry from the other party and read it carefully.

After seeing this, his face became more and more serious. Things were more serious than what he had just thought. Sudden civil unrest broke out in various parts of Jiangnan, and chaos occurred near several major prefectures. This was a situation that had never happened before.

With Lu Zhen’s years of experience in governing, he quickly saw the connection and said in a solemn voice: “Is someone planning an accident behind the scenes? But is the Luotian Sect?”

"This... the above mentioned it, only said that Wen Ming, the governor of Jiangnan in Jinling, refused to send troops to quell the chaos at this time, which further worsened the chaos in the local area..."

"Is this considered impeachment? Wen Ming..." Lu Zhen tried hard to recall the appearance and character of this rank-in official, and was a little confused for a while. As far as he knew, Wen Ming was always steady, capable, and capable, and good at making decisions. If such a big thing happened, he wouldn't be at a loss, right?

Then he thought of something again and looked at the document at the end. He saw that the name written on it was Sudi Governor Xiang Fantian, which made him quickly understand the whole story. It was obvious that there was a conflict between the two people of civil and military. Xiang Fantian intended to send troops to quell the chaos, but Wen Ming suppressed it.

No wonder the important documents are not directly entered into the Political Affairs Hall, but first went to the Ministry of War. This is the military post used by Brahma. Generally speaking, the documents of the military post were sent directly to the Privy Council. Now that he has entered the Ministry of War, it means that he is not asking for instructions to use troops, but is complaining.

Lu Zhen was naturally very clear about these tricks in the officialdom. His face became more and more serious at this moment. It was enough trouble to have chaos in Jiangnan. Now there are still rifts between civil and military officials, and the situation in Jiangnan became more and more serious.

We must give a reply as soon as possible to give Jiangnan a unified opinion. Which side should we stand on?

Lu Zhen fell into deep thought. It is natural that he should maintain the prestige of the governor and believe in Wen Ming's ability. But the problem is that, judging from the content of the article, Wen Ming seems to be indulging in the rebels. If he really missed the opportunity and the situation in Jiangnan became more and more chaotic, the court would suffer too much loss.

"How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Lu Zhen looked at Ding Man and asked.

Officer Ding hesitated for a moment and replied: "The official thought he should send someone to Jiangnan to find out the truth..."

"It's too slow. At that time, I'm afraid that Jiangnan will fall into the hands of a rebel."

"But we are in the capital, thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, how can we determine who is right and who is wrong?"

"The disaster is like fire, and the chaos is even more like fire, so I think it should be divided into three steps: First, send elite officials of the Ministry of War to Jiangnan to find out the whole story; second, quickly draw troops from the capital and those troops near Jiangnan to go to the front to quell the chaos at any time; third, hurry up and ask for food to the Ministry of Revenue, and prepare to appease the hearts of the people in Jiangnan at that time."
