Chapter 843: Planning
In the face of Li Zhong's accusation, Zhao Xun's expression was a little gloomy, and his mood was quite embarrassing, a few days ago, it was not that no one made a suggestion that the imperial court send troops, Li Xun said this, but he didn't take it seriously, he felt that Cheng Xi had few soldiers and couldn't become a climate, and now that he thinks about it, he is indeed too naΓ―ve.
The characters who can dominate one side will never be fools, and they will never do things that are unfavorable to themselves, even if it is an order from the emperor, it is the same, at most it is a change of means, yang and yin, and tactful, but the final result still needs to be considered interests.
Now the situation is very obvious, Huang Baichuan and Wang Huailie, the two of them, shouted there very much, how can they do it, in fact, the two of them have been holding the plan from the beginning to stand still and watch the fire from the other side, if not, how could Cheng Xisi expand his strength so rapidly in just a few days?
Li Xun said in a deep voice at this time: "Your Majesty, at this time, you can't hesitate, the imperial court should quickly mobilize a large army to quell the rebellion, and pin all your hopes on the local festival envoys, now it seems that it is a little unrealistic." β
Zhao Xun nodded and asked Li Zhong: "Zuo Xiang, what do you think?" β
It has become inevitable for the imperial court to send troops, but how to send out and how to send it out is a big problem, and it cannot be done cautiously, Zhao Xun hopes that Li Zhong can give a general strategic guidance.
Li Zhong fell into deep thought, war is not a child's play, before there is a mature plan and thinking, you must not act rashly, this is the habit and character that Li Zhong has maintained for many years, he will come when he opens his mouth, he is not a great talent, but a soldier on paper, unrealistic.
Just then, a guard hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Qizhou is in a hurry."
The guard walked to the middle, half-kneeling on the ground, and held the emergency report high in the air.
Zhao Xun pointed at Li Zhong and said, "Let's show Zuo Xiang first." β
Li Zhong didn't say anything, took the emergency report, and hurriedly watched.
After a while, Li Zhong finished reading the battle report in his hand, his face had become very serious, he looked at Zhao Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Qizhou defense envoy Hong Xi reported that Cheng Xisi led 30,000 rebels, within two days, even Xiaying and Shou Prefectures, and now the troops are entering Qizhou, Hong Xi hopes that the imperial court will immediately send troops to rescue, otherwise with the only 3,000 soldiers in his hands, he will not be able to hold on at all." β
It is also interesting to say, if it weren't for Zhao Xun sending people to chase Li Zhong and chase him all the way to his hometown of Qizhou, even if Li Zhong knew the news of Cheng Xisi's rebellion, I am afraid that he would stay in his hometown for a few days
Zhao Xun had a look of shock on his face, and then said with some anger: "Huang Baichuan and Wang Huailie, these two bastards, what do they want to do?" Is it to sit back and watch Xi Hei act recklessly? β
Li Xun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, don't have any hope for Huang Baichuan and Wang Huailie, they will never rush to the forefront in the current crisis." β
After that, Li Xun looked at Li Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zuo, where do you think Cheng Xihe's goal is?" β
Li Zhong asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" β
Li Xun said: "Jinyang. β
"Same as I thought."
Li Zhong said to Zhao Xun: "Your Majesty, the land of Yizhou, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the products are abundant, but there are strong festivals on the left and right to make the feudal towns, if Cheng Xihei does not go out of Yizhou, even if there are more troops, he will be trapped and die, he obviously understands this truth, so at the beginning of the army, it is to concentrate the main army and go north directly, the intention is very obvious, that is, to enter Hedong before the imperial court reacts, and the core of Hedong is Jinyang, once Jinyang is taken, once Jinyang is taken......"
Li Zhong's later words, Zhao Xun didn't listen to it, in fact, it doesn't matter if he listens or not, Cheng Xisi led an army of 30,000 and rushed straight to Hedong, which was not only a military need, but also a political consideration.
Hedong used to be the foundation of the Winged King Zhao He, many people and families, and Zhao He has a lot of relationship, they helped the Winged King Zhao He to compete for the throne, with the failure of the coup, Zhao He was ruined and ended his life, but his death does not mean that it represents the end of the matter.
Although the Wing King is dead, how could Zhao Xun easily let go of the people and families related to him?
In fact, after Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, he has been vigorously purging the opposition forces of all parties, especially the figures and families related to the coup, and he intends to sweep away all the potential threats and eliminate all potential threats, but because of the instability of the court situation and the delay of other things, Zhao Xun's focus has not been placed on Hedong, but he has only arrested some less important figures such as Mao Anfu, of course, everyone understands that this is just the beginning, Zhao Xun has his hands free, and he will definitely carry out a big purge of Hedong.
Therefore, many officials and families in Hedong have been in fear all day long since the failure of the Yiwang coup, and they are afraid all day long, they know very well that Zhao Xun may not let go of themselves, Cheng Xihei is now marching into Hedong, if he really defeats Jinyang, when the time comes, what will be the result? It will definitely be flocked by many people, and Cheng Xihei will have a big improvement in his overall strength in a short period of time, if this is the case, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zhao Xun quickly thought of this, and his face suddenly had a nervous look, and he said to Li Zhong: "You can't let Cheng Xisi enter Hedong, immediately send orders to soldiers and horses from all over Hedong, and quickly go to Qizhou to block it." β
Li Zhong said with a serious face: "The two armies are facing each other, and the rear is important, I am afraid that there is a fierce battle in the front, and the rear is empty, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of." β
Li Xun said with deep agreement: "The remaining forces of Yiwang Zhao He in Hedong, and there are still some of them, they can't all drive the army to Qizhou, once the rear is empty, some people will definitely take the opportunity to start an incident, but cut off the back road." β
Li Zhong said in a deep voice: "At this time, Hedong should focus on stable defense, and the emperor can immediately order Puzhou Jiedu to make Yunji and Yunzhou Jiedu make Huang Xuan, so that the two of them will immediately lead the army of their headquarters and enter Jinyang, and the imperial court will send a forbidden army to rush to Hedong to unite Yunji, Huang Ji and other armies to encircle and eliminate it in Hedong. β
Zhao Xun nodded again and again, pointed at Li Zhong and said, "All matters are under the sole responsibility of Prime Minister Zuo, and I will definitely give my full support." β
"Your Majesty."
Li Zhong bowed down, and then, he finally suggested that Zhao Xun immediately issue an edict to reward Caizhou Jiedu for making Huang Baichuan and Chuzhou Jiedu make the net broken, win over and stabilize people's hearts, and ordered the two of them to attack without marching into the army, just leading the army to force Yizhou, such a simple matter, Huang Baichuan and Wang Huailie, obviously there is no reason to do any tricks.
After explaining this, Li Zhong said goodbye and left, and quickly rushed to the forbidden army camp outside the city, preparing to point troops and generals, and set out to Hedong.
