Chapter 096: On the Edge of the Cliff

In the two days that Yang Tinglin was in a coma, the four gates of Ganzhou City were also locked for two days, and no one was allowed to leave the city unless there was an order from Qin Mu.

What happened at the wedding banquet in the Xu family's courtyard, although Qin Mu had tried his best to block the news, it was impossible to completely hide it, and the people in the city discussed it in private, and all kinds of rumors spread around.

In the past two days, Sima Anzhen has tried his best to give advice to Qin Mu, closely cooperated with Qin Mu, and issued several orders in the name of Yang Tinglin, first of all, let Meng Ke take Yang Tinglin's orders and reply to Xinfeng to control the military power that was robbed by Qian Qing.

At the same time, let Li Shi and others take over the various city gates of Ganzhou, and then control all the defenders in the city of Ganzhou.

After Ma Yongzhen was rescued, he was sent back to Huichang, he only walked dozens of miles, and met Xiang Liancheng, who led the army to come, that day Hu Ge's trick was debunked by Han Gang and others, and dozens of Hu Ge people were taken instead;

After Xiang Liancheng and other hundreds of households were rescued, they immediately agreed that Ma Liuliang was responsible for staying in Huichang, and Xiang Liancheng set off with a thousand men and horses overnight and flew to Ganzhou.

After Qin Mu got the news, he immediately made a decision and ordered Ma Yongzhen to return to Huichang according to the original Jihua, and a thousand men and horses from Xiangliancheng drove to Ganzhou to completely control Ganzhou.

In the past two days, the four gates of Ganzhou were locked, and thousands of soldiers and horses in Huichang entered the city to garrison, these unusual phenomena made the officials and people in Ganzhou City even more frightened.

After Xiang Liancheng led troops into the city, these officials were even more frightened, and they were as silent as cicadas, thinking that Ganzhou was about to change.

Chen Shaoping and Gao Dingfang couldn't see Qin Mu, and their homes were closely monitored by soldiers, so in a panic, they begged the guards guarding the door to send a letter to Chengcheng, which made Qin Mu angry and funny.

In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Shaoping and Gao Dingfang have such a reaction, Qin Mu's army has entered the city, except for Yang Tinglin in the city, the two of them are the largest, if Qin Mu is really opposed, he must clean up the two of them first;

The two of them thought left and right, they were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates for the flag, and it was normal for them to come to surrender in order to save their lives, after all, their whole family was in the city, even if they were not afraid of death, they had to take care of their families.

When the news came that Zhang Xianzhong was waving his army to attack Jiangxi, Qin Mu, who was anxious, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and blurted out: "Zhang Xianzhong, you are here." ”

Qin Mu really doesn't want to hastily pull the flag to rebel now, but Yang Tinglin is unconscious, life and death are uncertain, the four gates of Ganzhou have been blocked for two days, and if it drags on, there will inevitably be big problems, and as soon as Zhang Xianzhong's army comes, many things can be covered up under the flames of war, and some factors that are unfavorable to him can even be eliminated through war.

Sima An, who was sitting opposite him, raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "The meaning of the adults is humble and understandable, but Zhang Xianzhong is here this time, I'm afraid he doesn't want to leave, and his hundreds of thousands of people are also difficult to deal with." ”

"I know it's not easy to deal with, but since he's here, he has to deal with it or not, and now what we have to consider is how to use Zhang Xianzhong to open up the predicament in Ganzhou."

Sima An stroked the long beard under his chin, and muttered: "The current predicament is not easy to solve, the key depends on whether Fuzun can not wake up, in case Fuzun really has an accident, there are too many people present at the time, this paper can't contain the fire after all, unless Ganzhou is put away"

"Nope." Qin Mu didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted him, "Ganzhou City is the essence of the entire Ganzhou, once Ganzhou is abandoned, the essence of Gannan will be gone, only chicken ribs will remain, and if you think of other ways, Ganzhou must not be lost to Zhang Xianzhong." ”

"My lord, the one who has become a big thing, is not informal, even if the entire Gannan is counted, it is just a pool of shallow water, why should the adults care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, from a humble point of view, it is worth exchanging Ganzhou for the reputation of adults."

Qin Mu shook his head and said: "It's different, if you spread your wings and fly high in the future, you naturally don't have to care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but Ganzhou is like the first colostrum, and it must not be snatched away. ”

Sima An looked at Qin Mu in surprise, because he couldn't predict the fact that Daming was going to die in only a few months like Qin Mu, in his opinion, even if Daming was terminally ill, but with the army of Liaodong, he could still breathe for a few years, and if he had a few years to operate, it didn't necessarily matter how much to give up Ganzhou temporarily.

Before the two of them could discuss the result, Zhu Yijin's voice begging to see came from outside the door, and Qin Mu raised his voice and said, "Come in, what's going on?" ”

Zhu Yijin entered the door and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, Xu Yingjie just sent a letter, and repeatedly told him to hand it over to the adult as soon as possible." ”

Qin Mu took the letter, tore it open and looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the content of the letter was not much, it was clear at a glance, after Qin Mu handed it to Sima An, Sima An only glanced at it, and his brows were furrowed.

Zhu Yijin asked, "What do you have to say?" If not, the humble will retire first. ”

Qin Mu, who was pondering, didn't care about answering him at all, just waved his hand to him, and when Zhu Yijin withdrew, Sima An immediately said: "My lord, Lu Daqi is quite talented, not to be underestimated, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Lu Daqi was promoted to the imperial envoy of the right capital and governor of Gansu. exposed the illegal behavior of the chief soldier Chai Shihua, Chai Shihua was removed, and Lu Daqi sent the deputy general Wang Shizhong to replace Chai;

Chai actually went to the west and Turpan to beg for chaos, Lu Daqi ordered Wang Shizhong to conquest, and Chai was defeated and died. At this time, Sewaier Dini, Huang Taiji and other troops tried to invade Suzhou in the name of begging for a reward, and Lu Daqi poisoned Yumaquan in the name of reward, killing countless of his subordinates;

He also sent the general soldier Ma Huoguang and the deputy general Wang Shizhong to attack the rebels led by Saiwai, beheaded more than 700 people, pacified 28 tribes, and defeated the rest of the party. At this point, the western frontier was basically pacified;

Judging from Lu Daqi's experience in Fubian, this person can't be taken lightly, as far as the current situation in Ganzhou is concerned, Lu Daqi can't be allowed to come to Ganzhou no matter what, otherwise it will be difficult for adults to get rid of the name of rebellion. ”

Before Ganzhou was quite a bit of a mountain high emperor far away, plus the Qing army had just ravaged Henan and Shandong, and it was only in April that hundreds of people were taken captive out of the customs, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong successively claimed the king in Xiangyang and Wuchang, and the imperial court had no time to take care of the small rebellion in southern Gansu;

Therefore, Qin Mu can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't pull the flag and rebel, just like Zuo Liangyu and others wantonly looted, even if the imperial court knew, it could only turn a blind eye.

But now Lu Daqi is also the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Yingtian, and Anqing, and the weight of authority is incomprehensible, but at this time, the prefect of Ganzhou fell under Qin Mu's knife, and he has not woken up so far, once Lu Daqi comes to Ganzhou, Qin Mu will have nowhere to hide.

After all, Zuo Liangyu is the chief soldier and has 200,000 people under him, and Lu Daqi has to rely on Zuo Liangyu to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, so he naturally doesn't dare to do anything with him.

But Qin Mu is just a small county to fill the vacancy, and there are few major generals, and now that Lu Daqi is coming with Zuo Liangyu's 80,000 troops, will he still take care of him, a small county? I'm afraid that Lu Daqi is trying to find someone to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.

Is it really going to pull the flag and rebel? Qin Mu frowned, at this time, he pulled the flag and rebelled, it seemed that he and Zhang Xianzhong responded to each other, which was very beneficial, but in fact, it was not;

Zhang Xianzhong swept Huguang, invincible, must be ambitious, want to take the entire south of the river in one fell swoop, how can he allow himself to gain a foothold in southern Gan and ignore it?

Therefore, once the flag is hastily pulled up and the rebellion is hastily raised, it may immediately face Zhang Xianzhong and Lu Daqi from both sides. The time, the place, and the people are all lost, it's really not a haode choice.

I don't know what to say to Yang Tinglin and Qin Muzhen. "change" seems to be over, but in fact, the impact has just begun. Although it did not take away Qin Mu's military power, it forced him to the edge of the cliff.

Now it seems that being forced by Yang Tinglin like this, he has almost no other choice but to pull the flag and rebel.

Qin Mu's brain ached, he rubbed his temples, and asked Sima An, "Sir, do you have any good advice for me?" ”

Sima An can understand Qin Mu's suffering, no matter what Yang Tinglin did first, whether he did it right or not, but now he fell under Qin Mu's knife, once Yang Tinglin died, Qin Mu had to bear the notoriety of killing his father-in-law, which is almost the same concept as killing his own parents.

Even the most ferocious bandits will be extremely contemptuous of this, and once such a notoriety is spread, Qin Mu will inevitably be criticized by the whole world.

The pressure on his heart can be imagined.

Sima An sighed secretly and replied: "Since the adults are unwilling to give up Ganzhou, now it seems that the best choice is to take the initiative." ”

"Take the initiative?"

"Not bad."
