In a short period of time, he occupied the whole town of Ningxia, and the complacent Bibai was gathering the generals to discuss the follow-up arrangements.

Bi Chengen took the lead in congratulating: "Now my father has occupied the whole town of Ningxia, and only Pingyu is left, but he is also surrounded by our army. Especially since his father broke the Guyuan army, the first-line prefectures and counties of Guyuan have returned to the wind, Gao Guangxian has the threat of the Xining Huoluochi brothers in the west, and his father has suppressed it in the north. In addition, the Hetao Boshuoktu cavalry responded, with more than 60,000 soldiers, occupying dangerous points, and can already be called the king of land and achieve hegemony! ”

Liu Dongyang didn't care if he was called the king or not, he was only worried about when the imperial court would be requisitioned, and he was anxious that Bibai would have a plan to deal with it, so he diverted the topic and said to Bibai: "Now, the imperial court will send troops to recruit and suppress, and how we deal with it needs to be planned as soon as possible." Prince Bi has been in battle for a long time, and he is like a god, and he wants to instruct the brothers on how to deploy. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Chao and others also echoed it, but no one followed Bi Chengen's words to talk about being the king, and they all asked Bi Bai to plan to resist the imperial court's conquest.

Pacing in the Bibai Hall, he had two strategies in his heart, and said to the generals: "How to deal with it, I have two strategies for you to refer to." One of them is to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court has not yet reacted in time, and use the suspicious army to attack Xi'an, while the main force secretly marches eastward and attacks the Beijing division! If you can capture the capital division and capture the emperor and the prince, the world will be in chaos! The vassal kings of all over the country are vying to be the emperor, and each of the hundred officials has their own support, and this great tomorrow will be a mess, so we can be called the king and the emperor! It's just that the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is known as the rivers and mountains on the surface, with heavy passes and mountains, and there are many fierce generals, so it is difficult to enter lightly. If you make a detour to gather the Beijing division outside the pass, based on the current situation, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the battle. ”

When Xu Chao heard this, he immediately shook his head and answered: "How is this strategy feasible? There is a famous general in Shanxi who went out of the town of Datong, and the soldiers of the Ma family under his command were extremely brave, and in the past, even the Great Khan of Alta dared to resist. Li Chengliang's son, Li Rusong, is now also leading troops in Taiyuan, and the Liaodong cavalry under his command is well-equipped, and they are not at all defeated in the battle with the Chahar headquarters of the Tumen Great Khan. With all due respect, with these two generals, if our army goes straight to Shanxi, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach the Beijing division at all. ”

Liu Dongyang also echoed: "The mountains and mountains in Shanxi are steep, once they are blocked, they will no longer have the effect of surprise attacks, and the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong are in the forefront of the nine sides in terms of combat power, which cannot be underestimated." Moreover, in the early years of Wanli, Qi Jiguang received the full support of the cabinet, repaired the Great Wall in the north, whipped the soldiers, studied the tactics of firearms, and the defense around the Beijing Division was new, and our army lacked artillery, how could it be easily conquered? ”

Xu Chao continued: "As for the detour outside the customs, this move is also not feasible. Recently, the imperial court has made Gao Qiuzhen the strategy of the seven towns, this person has won several battles in Annan and Dingbei, and is a marshal who knows the soldiers, and he has formed an alliance with Tumut Chechen Khan, and Tumut's 100,000 iron cavalry may be able to be dispatched by him. Our army made a detour outside the plug, and it may be possible to move in the Hetao, and as soon as we get out of the Hetao, we are afraid that we will be surrounded by Hannaji, is it the way to use troops? ”

Bibai replied: "Since the enterprising Beijing division is not passable, the second is to stick to the preparation for war, wait for the imperial court soldiers to arrive, first arrogant their soldiers, and then choose the opportunity to annihilate them all." When the imperial court reorganized and transferred troops, Huoluo Chi and Li Tu must have already acted, and our army will go south to Guyuan and Xi'an again and occupy the entire territory of Shaanxi. In this way, Huoluo Chike can go east out of Xining Mansion, occupy Zhuang Langwei and other places, unite with us, connect the territory, and become a piece of its own, so that there is more than enough advance and retreat, both offensive and defensive. When the clansmen move inward, the number of soldiers can reach 200,000. In my opinion, this plan is feasible, and the key lies in how to completely annihilate the official army and seize the opportunity to go south to Xi'an. ”

The generals thought for a long time and felt that this idea was finally more reliable, so they all nodded yes.

Then Bibai ordered, ordered Bi Chengen to lead 2,000 troops to guard the Lingzhou Thousand Households, ordered Xu Chao to lead 2,000 troops to guard the Xingwu Thousand Households, ordered Jiyun to lead 2,000 troops to guard the Weizhou Thousand Households, ordered Liu Chuan to lead 2,000 troops to guard the Thousand Households, and gathered 5,000 troops to besiege Pingyu, and 36 forts were each stationed in 300 cantonments.

Bo Shuo Ketu led the main force to respond to the detour outside the Guan, making the illusion of crossing the Yellow River east to attack Shanxi, so as to contain the Ming army in Shanxi and make it dare not "leave the nest", while the rest of Bo Shuo Ketu's department was stationed in the area of Huamachi to deploy defenses, which was regarded as receiving half of the spoils in advance.

As for Bibai himself, together with Liu Dongyang, Tu Wenxiu, Bi Chengzhong and others, he personally led 20,000 troops from Ningxia to prepare for the imperial court's conquest.

On the same night that Bibai and the others were discussing the end of the trip, Gao Shishi, who had been living in the Jingbei camp of the Praetorian Guard recently, suddenly received an urgent summons from the celebrant supervisor, and the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss emergency military affairs.

Gao Pragmatic knew that the emperor was only slightly later than him when he heard the news, and he had already thought about this summons, and he didn't care that the spring cold was still there, so he approved the clothes and left.

He found that when the war broke out, the imperial court's communication would still be faster than usual, for example, he learned of the change in Ningxia yesterday morning, and the emperor reacted tonight, which was more than a day faster than the previous time.

For more than a day, Gao Pragmatic did not wait for the emperor to summon him, he was not only bored, but also gave Jinghua a series of instructions as a contingency for the next period of time. It's just that if it's effective or not, it depends on the performance of the northwest, especially in the city of Ningxia.

Gao Jingliu, who was not afraid of danger, even seized the time to squint on the carriage for a while, and when he was woken up, the carriage had already arrived outside the gate of the imperial city.

When I got out of the car, I saw Chen Ju leading people to guard the door of Di'anmen, and when he saw Gao Shishi getting out of the car, he walked towards him and waved to the people around him.

Gao pragmatic looked at it, but there was an eunuch who brought a royal horse over. Chen Ju didn't say anything polite, but said with a serious face: "Gong Bao, I know that you should have received the news of the change in Ningxia, so I won't go into details, but there is one thing you need to be careful: Now the emperor is quite dissatisfied with Gao Zhitai's performance, and it is best not to protect it." ”

Gao pragmatic nodded slightly, sighed again, and said: "I have done my best, and now I really can't save it, I can only try to save the situation, fortunately, I have been concerned about Ningxia before, but it is not without consideration, Wanhua can rest assured." ”

Chen Ju's face was slightly relaxed, and he didn't say more, pointed to the imperial horse, and said: "The military situation is urgent, this horse is a special gift from the emperor, you can walk in the Forbidden City, and the palace guard will get on the horse." ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't say much, walked over and turned over on the horse, his movements were as skillful as a horse, Chen Ju was also stunned, and hurriedly turned over on another horse.

At this time, it should have been Chen Ju who led the way, but Gao Shishi's riding skills were obviously better than those of the accompanying ceremonial eunuchs, and even the palace guards were not as good as him.

There are really no rules tonight, Chen Ju didn't bring Gao Pragmatic from Donghua Gate like a courtier, but directly brought in from Xuanwu Gate after crossing the coal mountain - the south of Xuanwu Gate is a harem, and it is generally impossible for courtiers from outside the court to go here.

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but ask, Chen Ju only said: "The emperor said that it should be done as soon as possible, and everything else is a trivial matter." Besides, I can't wait for the East and West Sixth Palaces, and the Qianqing Palace in the south only needs to avoid Kunning Palace, which saves time and trouble. ”

Gao pragmatic hesitated slightly, and did not insist on a detour, so the group quickly bypassed Kunning Palace and arrived outside the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit at the moment, and it looks like there are probably other people there. Gao Pragmatic didn't think much about it, and only asked Chen Ju to go and report, but Chen Ju said: "No need, the emperor has a decree, just report it in front of the palace." In other words, just walk to the door and report it.

Waiting for high pragmatism was approved to enter, as soon as he entered the Xinuan Pavilion, he found that there were still people, but there was only one person, and it was the first assistant Shen Shixing.

Gao Shixing stepped forward to see the emperor and the first assistant, Shen Shixing only bowed his head slightly because the emperor was there, and the emperor waved his hand and said: "Truth, if you come late, I will send a second group of people to find you." You first came to see this military report. ”

In fact, the military newspaper is nothing to look at, Gao Pragmatic knows it very well in his heart, but the emperor's military report is still different in the end, mainly because it attached Gao Guangxian's request for guilt.

Gao pragmatic first pretended to look at the military newspaper, and then looked at Gao Guangxian's sparse text, and was silent.

Zhu Yijun saw that he had finished reading it, and moved his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, he seemed to hesitate a little, and looked at Shen Shixing again. Search

Shen Shixing coughed lightly, seemed to clear his throat, and said, "What do you think of this military report and the song?" ”

Gao pragmatic groaned: "Ningxia is the opposite at this time, and I am afraid that not only Ningxia town has changed. Yuanfu, I think the situation in Hetao and Qinghai is also very bad, and it is better for the cabinet to take some measures. ”

Shen Shixing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "The cabinet has its own cabinet considerations, and I am now asking you what you think of this note." ”

Gao Shishi observed the emperor out of the corner of his eye, and replied with a little surprise: "Gao Guangxian has already asked for resignation, and there is such a big matter under his hands, of course the governor of the three sides has to resign." As for the conviction, this matter can only be decided by the Holy One, how can Gensuke ask me? ”

Shen Shixing scolded in his heart: You want to ask you? If it weren't for the emperor's scruples about your thoughts, and even refused to inquire in person, how could I open this mouth?

But Gao Pragmatic said so, and he couldn't help but answer, so he had to maintain the style just now, and said lightly: "You are the Seven Towns Jingluo, the Ming Nine Sides, and you are in charge of the five (Baoding and Changping are not "Nine Sides" in the strict sense). As for military affairs, you must have your own opinions, and I, as the first assistant, also need to consult. ”

These words were a bit of Shoufu's style, and Gao Shishi smiled and bowed slightly when he heard it, and said, "What Yuanfu taught is that the students have been taught. Then he bowed his hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Guang should take the lead first." ”

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and sighed lightly: "Then what is his crime and how to deal with it?" ”

"He is incompetent, and he delays the military plane." Gao said calmly: "Take the lock into Beijing, and then check it in detail." ”

Shen Shixing was on the side, his lips moving, but he hesitated for a moment and swallowed his words back. Originally, according to his thoughts, Gao Guangxian, the backbone of the Jin Party, had an accident, of course, he should be killed directly with a stick, but after all, the other party was the trilateral governor with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and he was not in that situation back then, so he couldn't just kill him.

Although Gao Shixing's statement just now seemed ruthless, and even "he was incompetent and delayed the military plane", he did not convict him, but only said that he would be investigated in detail, which of course could not satisfy Shen Shixing. But the problem is that Gao Pragmatic just used a "lock to enter Beijing", which is not easy to say that he shielded the same party - they were all locked up, which shows that he is guilty by default, and he is guilty of a big crime, how can you say that he is harboring the same party?

Zhu Yijun doesn't have to think so carefully, he is just afraid that Gao Pragmatic will say that it is not about Gao Guangxian, it will be a little difficult to do, after all, the person he can rely on next is only Gao Pragmatic when he thinks about it. Therefore, as long as Gao Pragmatic is willing to give up Gao Guangxian, the next thing will be easy to do.

As for what Gao Guangxian should be convicted of, he is really not in a hurry: he will not run, what is the urgency of the conviction, of course, he will suppress the affairs of Ningxia first.

"I think it's okay, so let's do it." Zhu Yijun didn't want to delay his work in this matter, so the topic changed: "Gao Guang will go to office first, who will take over the governors of the three sides?" What does Mr. Shen think? Seeking truth, what do you think? ”

Shen Shixing glanced at Gao Shixing, and said lightly: "Gao Jingluo is familiar with border affairs, so let's ask Gao Jingluo to talk about Gao Cheng first." ”

"I don't dare to be high." Gao Pragmatic was really not polite, bowed his hand slightly, and then said to the emperor: "There are two ministers who are selected for the emperor's reference." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "You say." ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Nanjing Wei Xuezeng, or Xuanda Zheng Luo." ”

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, and asked Shen Shixing, "What does Yuan Fu think?" ”

Shen Shixing said calmly: "Zheng Luo has been in charge of Xuanda for many years, and now Ningxia is in turmoil, and Bo Shuoketu is involved in it while he is seriously ill, so Shanxi may not be too peaceful." Because of this, the minister thought that Zheng Luo was inconvenient to move lightly, and he still wanted to supervise Jin. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "That's Wei Xuezeng?" ”

Wei Xuezeng and Zheng Luo are both high parties, and they are not a good choice for Shen Shixing, but Shen Shixing is not willing to meddle in this matter at all now, so the two of them choose the same person. If you don't choose Zheng Luo, Shen Shixing is really for the sake of Shanxi's stability, so it doesn't matter if you pick a Wei Xuezeng to go to the three sides.

As for why Shen Shixing is unwilling to intervene, it is actually very simple: there is such a big mess in Ningxia, and there is no peace in Hetao and Qinghai, which shows that the situation in the northwest is very erosive.

The erosion in the northwest is the mess of the Gao Party, what did he do when he was in Shen, why should he help them clean it up? Maybe it can be said that it is to fight for merit, but this merit is not easy to fight. Where did he find someone who could quell the rebellion in the northwest?

Count with your fingers, Li Chengliang is the only general who can get his hands on the side of the Heart School, but Li Chengliang has an extremely heavy task in Liaodong, and it is impossible to send him to the northwest to eat sand.

So take a step back, Li Chengliang's eldest son Li Rusong's performance in the Battle of Monan last time was also very eye-catching, and it seems that it can also be used. However, Li Rusong's headquarters only had 5,000 cavalry brought to Taiyuan from Liaodong, and the other soldiers and horses were only nominally under his command, and the emperor could certainly give him permission, but ...... Hehe, the three towns of Xuanda and the three sides of Shaanxi are the territory of the real school, as long as Gao Shicheng secretly instructs, unless Li Rusong can rely on his 5,000 cavalry to cover the entire northwest, even if he has great ability, he will have to be deflated in Ningxia.

Shen Shixing treated others with himself, and felt that letting Li Rusong go to Ningxia at this time was completely pushing him into the fire pit, so he would rather give up this opportunity to grab merit than do so.

"I think that although Wei Xuezeng may not be the best candidate, it is suitable for now." Shen Shixing replied.

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly: "Since you are not the best candidate, how can you talk about it?" Mr. Shin, who do you think is the best candidate? ”

Shen Shixing stretched out his hand towards Gao Shipra and said: "Is the best candidate, far away in the sky, close in front of you, but Gao Jingluo has other priorities, and he lacks skills, so he can't go to Ningxia." ”
