late at night.

Xunyang Prince's Mansion.

Stab——!

Ouyang Rong burned a secret letter in front of Li Xian and others.

It was the letter from Xie Xun that the junior sister sent not long ago, and several more letters were sent in succession, talking about the current controversy in the court.

"Everyone knows what the teacher said?"

"Um."

Ouyang Rong sighed:

"No wonder Wang Lengran is so anxious. It turns out that he fantasizes about defeating Cai Qin's army and gaining the initiative on the front line.

"Currently, the imperial court's counter-rebellion army is being formed, and the candidate for the chief marching officer of Jiangzhou Road is in a stalemate. Both the Wei family and the Concubine have recommended people to compete for this position.

"But judging from His Majesty's attitude, the Wei family is currently at a disadvantage.

"The previous rebellion in Yingzhou has made His Majesty doubt the abilities of the two kings of the Wei family."

The Great Zhou Dynasty had a government military system, with a distribution of more emphasis on the inside and less on the outside, with fewer in the south and more in the north.

The largest number of Zhechong Prefectures is in the north, especially in Guanzhong, where there are hundreds of Zhechong Prefectures. Therefore, the counter-rebellion army was mobilized from the north, which can be regarded as a distant water to fight a nearby fire.

As for the Annan Protectorate and other important border towns close to Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road, it is difficult to mobilize troops because they have to defend themselves against foreign enemies.

It can also be regarded as a helpless move in a bloated system.

Li Guoer nodded:

"That's right, my father is the ambassador to pacify Jiangnan. So for the post of chief officer of the counter-rebellion and general manager of Jiangzhou's march, my grandmother's tendency is very clear. If you want to choose someone who wants to leave the faction, at least there should be no internal fighting. Wang Lengran should be

I received Wei’s secret letter.”

Li Guoer asked: "Ouyang Lianghan, do you think the rebellion in Guizhou and Hongzhou will become bigger? Which side, Li Zhengyan and the imperial court, will win?"

Ouyang Rong glanced at her, but before he spoke, Li Dalang answered:

"Having lost my father's flag, and now he is on the opposite side of us, what can Li Zhengyan win?

"If we can capture Jiangzhou, we can expand the war, but there is another key factor. There are many master Qi practitioners in the court, and Luoyang also has a tripod sword. If it weren't for the pressure of border defense, we would not be able to adjust the border immediately.

Soldiers extinguish fire, the three are superimposed, and the rebellion in the southwest is nothing.

"We have handed over Wang Junzhi now and have fallen out with them, but in Xunyang City, there is a female officer Caishang protecting my father. Without victory on the battlefield, Li Zhengyan can't do anything to us.

"With my father serving as a pacifier and supporting the counter-rebellion, the morality of reviving the army will not last long. If we delay it, we will not be able to attack Jiangzhou for a long time.

"When the imperial court takes action, the advantage will be gone and failure will be a matter of time."

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he thought of the Peach Blossom Spring painting again.

However, he did not refute Li Dalang. Except for the uncertainty about Dingjian, he had a good guess at the general trend.

He nodded.

Li Guoer immediately said:

"So, since this is a situation with a high chance of winning, the old ministers of the Baoli faction must fight for the military merit of quelling the rebellion, and the Wei family cannot get it.

"And the Wei family also wants to gain military merit and win over my grandmother. The battle on the front line can change His Majesty's attitude to some extent. If Wang Lengran on the Wei family's side can repel the Hongzhou rebels and save Jishui County, he will be the supreme commander of the counter-rebellion.

The position of general manager of Jiangzhou's march is likely to fall into the hands of the Wei family."

Everyone was silent.

Li Xian sighed: "It makes sense."

"But why is this person so impulsive? Don't you know that there may be a scam in Jishui County?"

Xie Lingjiang was puzzled.

Ouyang Rong also frowned and said nothing.

The next day, there was another quarrel at the Jiangzhou lobby meeting. Wang Lengran advocated leading his soldiers to go out to rescue Jishui County.

Ouyang Rong still insisted on defending the city and not leaving.

Wang Lengran refuted Ouyang Rong's intention to surrender, and the two started arguing.

In the end they broke up unhappy.

That night, King Xunyang left in his study.

Li Xian proposed to take action personally and put pressure on Wang Lengran.

Stopped by Li Guo'er, he lowered his eyes and said:

"Don't persuade those who seek death, just don't splash blood on us. If Jishui County's resistance is fake and there is really an ambush, Wang Lengran made a mistake and hindered the Wei family."

Xie Lingjiang stood up, nodded and said:

"That's right, let him go. It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words. Senior brother only needs to fulfill his duty as an adjutant to dissuade him. Then write another letter to show his conservative attitude and make backups in advance to avoid the impact of subsequent defeats.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want this kind of pig-brained teammate. Without him, it will be easier for senior brother to defend the city. It is better than having to defend the city and continue to give blind orders. Without him, Jiang Governor Shi can lead the affairs of the whole state, just like Lan Changhao back then.

In the same way, it is easier to lead the army and the people to defend the city.

"And if Wang Lengran is defeated, he can also decide the position of the marching general manager and make the final decision.

"This is called watching the fire from afar. What do you think, Senior Brother?"

Ouyang Rong was silent and suddenly asked:

"Who gave Wang Lengran his confidence?"

After a pause, he frowned: "Is he really a genius?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Xie Lingjiang complained:

"He is both good at food and fun-loving. Just like the Wei family, the Yingzhou Rebellion is an example."

Ouyang Rong was silent.

Early the next morning, Jiangzhou lobby.

Ouyang Rong was slightly reticent, but he seriously asked Wang Lengran to leave 500 elite soldiers to guard the city and protect the palace just in case. At most, he could only lead 2,500 soldiers to attack.

Ouyang Rong, on the other hand, continues to stay in Xunyang City and is in charge of logistics.
