Wu Jinglin and Wu Yunqiao only need this answer from Chen Hai. As for the follow-up, who can fully predict how it will develop at this time
The Su Wei Army has three camps at this time. Fengchu Camp is a direct line combat force established by Wen Boyuan and Zhao Zhong. It is the most trusted combat force of Yanran Palace and will never be transferred away from Yanjing easily. , other than that, the only choice is between the Longxiang Camp led by Chen Hai and the Huxiao Camp led by Yu Zonghu.
Although Sun Qian, Zhou Jun and others had expectations on their faces, Chen Hai saw that Huang Shuang and Le Yi were silent at this time, and knew that they were trying to save more lives of the defeated Black Yan army, so he finally agreed to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden with Zhao. Being loyal to a transaction does not mean that they are willing to continue to be so capricious.
Sending the Longxiang camp to Tianshui County was actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone for Ying Wang Yingshu, Tu Que, Rong Yan and others. In fact, Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and other Yanran Palace forces did not have more choose.
On the contrary, they had more persistence than those sects and clans who only knew how to protect their own interests. That was why they crossed Xiaolianshui and attacked Ocang Guoziling as if they were dead.
"In other words, if the Longxiang camp is stationed in Tianshui County, they really want to collude with Hexi and threaten Tianshui County to surrender to Hexi. They won't feel the slightest pressure, right?" Huang Shuang asked hesitantly.
Everyone nodded. The Longxiang Camp was not of much importance in the eyes of others, but it might as well become a chess piece thrown into the hands of King Ying, Tu Que, Rong Yan and others to attack Yanran Palace and the Su Wei Army.
What's more, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Camp to appease the refugees in Lianshui. King Yingshu was also afraid that they would have too deep roots here, so he probably already thought of an excuse to transfer them away.
Yu Zonghu may not be willing to wade into this muddy water, but Chen Hai took the initiative to write a letter asking for a fight. Even if Wen Boyuan and Zhao Zhong were worried, they actually had no more choices.
Grandma He was severely injured in the previous war and was unable to participate in the military affairs of Lianshui Mansion. Since the world is so vast and there was no other place to go, she went to Tianji Academy to cultivate.
Sun Qian had been Chen Lie's most important adviser for a long time. Chen Lie left him to Chen Hai. Chen Hai had the opportunity to form a military branch and open a tent this time, so he directly appointed Sun Qian as the capital of the Longxiang camp. Chang Shi, the head of the officials in the Wei general administration, and Zhou Jingyuan, who was in charge of the affairs, jointly assisted in military affairs. They also relied on Sun Qian's familiarity with Yanzhou, especially the clan affairs in the northwest region, to help him make decisions.
In any case, if Longxiang Camp can really be transferred to Tianshui County, although there are many crises, it also means there are greater opportunities.
Chen Hai nodded. The relationship between the Wu clan and Hexi could be seen from the last election of Xuegong Wei. Wu Yao, Wu Jinglin, Wu Yunqiao and others had good relations with Taiwei Sect disciples. He motioned to Sun Qian to continue. .
"It's hard to say," Sun Qian said. "For the British kings, Tianshui County will be annexed by Hexi sooner or later. It is better to annex it sooner than later. Trigger a crisis to the west of Qintong Mountain as soon as possible to make Yanran Palace aware of the Xiyuan Army. This is the firmest reliance on Yanjing. This may be what the King of England and his people are happy to see at this time. And if the Suwei Army's Longxiang camp and Tianshui County surrender to Hexi, the King of England and his people may be Smiling even more."
At this time, the Huben Army was cleaning up the mess in Yanmen County. Logically, the Xiyuan Army should be mobilized to advance westward. However, this voice was the weakest. There was no chance of becoming the mainstream in Yanjing City. On the one hand, Yan Ranjun did not want Give the Xiyuan Army more opportunities, and the Jingjun clan is also worried that once the main force of the Xiyuan Army moves westward and is blocked to the west of Qintong Mountain by the Suwei Army, it will definitely be worse than controlling the northern part of Gyeongsang Province and Jiji via Wusheng Pass Yangjun was much more uncomfortable.
Wu Jinglin and Wu Yunqiao also took advantage of the rainy night to leave Lianshui, and soon the news of moving the Longxiang camp to Tianshui County spread in Yanjing City. There were both those who agreed and those who opposed.
Although Sun Qian, Zhou Jun and others have a deeper sense of identity with Hexi, there is nothing wrong with remaining independent at this time. If Tianshui County is really threatened to surrender to Hexi, it will be easy for Tianji Academy to withdraw from Qintong Mountain, but They have worked hard in Liquan for several years, and the hundreds of thousands of people who have moved to Liquan one after another will not be so easy to evacuate. There must be choices when the time comes.
Of course, generals such as Wu Meng, Zhou Jingyuan, Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang, and Han Jian did not have a deep sympathy for Hexi or Dayan. They hoped to seize every opportunity to win a more independent status, but to surrender to whomever they wanted. .
"From the standpoint of the Wu clan and other clans, it is best to hope that they can always remain neutral. But if Hexi is eager to force them to make a choice in the near future, it is best not to make this choice - this should be done by the Wu clan and other clans. The basic attitude is to go to Yanjing to ask for help..."
"What a bunch of old foxes who eat meat but don't spit out bones!" Zhou Jun could only helplessly laugh and curse after hearing Sun Qian reveal the hidden thoughts of the Wu family and other clans, and said, "But speaking of it, there are also people above the court. It’s impossible for a guy who plots against others all day long to let the Wu family and other clans get their wish... "
Wu Jinglin and others came today, and the meaning of their words was already obvious. The Wu clan and other clans hoped that Chen Hai could lead the Longxiang Camp of the Su Wei Army into Tianshui County in order to deter Hexi's ambitions towards Tianshui County. But as long as Chen Hai is like this Bian agreed, and Wu operated all aspects of Yanjing to make this happen.
Chen Hai called everyone together and did not directly express his thoughts, but let the generals express their opinions first.
And when the time comes, the Longxiang Camp will have to directly confront the Xiyuan Army, which has reached its peak at this time, which will not be easy.
After Emperor Yitian issued an order to transfer the last 10,000 elite troops of the Xiyuan Army in Tongbei Prefecture to Jiyang County, the defense of the west of Beijing and Qin Tong Mountain was the responsibility of the Su Wei Army.
The next day, Chen Hai explained his intention to Wu Jinglin and Wu Yunqiao. He wrote to the court and requested to lead his troops to resist the southern invasion of the demon barbarians. As a general in command, he would not be too involved in other matters.
The question before everyone at this time is whether to go to Tianshui County. After going to Tianshui County, what choice will they make
"This is even the situation they are most happy to see. After all, they can say something to Yanjing. After all, it was the Beijing camp that had a problem and threatened them to defect to Hexi, and Hexi will not be affected by this invitation at all. To support and blame the Wu family and other clans..." Sun Qian said.
Huang Shuang and Le Yi were naturally satisfied with Chen Hai's stance. Even if they died in the battle to resist the southern invasion of the demon barbarians, they would still have a clear conscience. They really did not want to interfere with the struggle for power between the clans. in the muddy water.
Ning Chan'er has returned to the Huben Army at this time and is with the Ning family's children. Neither the Ning family nor Prince Ying Dan will be able to return to Yanjing in a short time. They are even considering moving the Ning family further north from the Mengjin area. , moved to Yanmen County, and then retreated to Yanmen County to rest and recuperate. Prince Yingdan might even write a letter to plead guilty, please deprive him of his position as the crown prince, and let the eunuchs in Yanran Palace fight with King Yingshu and them to fight to the death. Say it again.
However, many people opposed the dispatch of the Longxiang camp, and the reason for the objection was that Chen Hai was from the Taiwei Sect and should avoid suspicion.
Chen Hai felt that it was necessary to unify his thoughts in advance to prevent everyone from having their own ideas and others taking advantage of the opportunity.
"Although Huayang Sect is also a first-class sect in Yanzhou, since the death of the previous headmaster, no one on the Tianbang list has risen in more than a hundred years, and none of the Wu clans in Huayang Sect and Tianshui County can. It occupies an absolute advantage in Tianshui County and its power is relatively dispersed. However, it has close ties with Hexi through various marriage alliances. Speaking of which, the Wu family and other clans should not mind joining Hexi. The biggest problem is that Tianshui County is close to In Qintong Mountain, once the Wu family and other clans surrender to Hexi, a super giant will completely emerge in the northwest region that is completely beyond the control of Yanjing. No matter how weak Yanjing is, the prince line, Ying Wangxuan and Yanran Palace will fight among themselves. It is so powerful that they will not just sit back and watch this situation develop. They will definitely unite with Qinchuan and other counties to send troops to suppress it. At that time, whether Hexi completely breaks with Yanjing and organizes defense in Tianshui County, or Hexi shrinks its tentacles from Tianshui County If we go back, the Wu family and other clans will never get any favors from us."
Facing Zhao Zhong's doubts, Chen Hai just said to him: "I am loyal to the emperor, and I will have the opportunity to patrol the border counties in the future. What can Hexi give me? All I can have at this time is really to worship me." Master Zhao and Master Wen gave me very little from Taiweizong, but they never forgot to ask for it..."
Those who agreed were naturally angry about the changes in the border counties during this period and did not pay attention to the court at all. Tianshui County is the barrier to the west of Yanjing from the Qintong Mountains. Hexi's ambitions must be contained within Tianshui County. In addition, it is very necessary to dispatch the Beijing Camp Army to Tianshui County at this time and join forces with the Musashi Army to suppress Hexi's ambitions.
Chen Hai arranged Wu Jinglin, Wu Yunqiao and their entourage to the post house in Tianyuan City, but he did not return to Tianyuan City. Instead, he sent Huang Shuang, Le Yi, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Sun Qian, Zhou Jingyuan and others convened to discuss countermeasures.
It is also because of this that the voice that should have been the most reasonable has been directly suppressed by all parties and cannot raise its head.
If the Longxiang Camp can resist the Hexi Army in Tianshui County, it is naturally good. If the Longxiang Camp threatens Tianshui County and surrenders to Hexi, including Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and even Emperor Yitian himself, they will no longer have an excuse to stop Xiyuan The army fully took over the defense of the west of Beijing and the Qintong Mountains.
At the end of August, Chang Hou and Zhao Zhong, the Shaofu Superintendent, returned to Beijing from Yanmen County and stopped in Lianshui for two days.
"No matter what decisions the ministers in the court make, the foundation of Tianji Academy is in Qintong Mountain and Liquan. If we really have the opportunity to garrison in Tianshui County, we still have to seriously consider the possibility of a large-scale invasion southward by demon barbarians from the northwest county of Qintong Mountain , so when we go to Tianshui County, we also focus on strengthening the defense of northern Tianshui County. If possible, I myself also hope to avoid completely involving the Northwest Territory in a chaotic war. If I have the opportunity, I also want to curb Hexi's ambitions, rather than Let their ambitions continue to expand without restriction..." Chen Hai said slowly while holding the long case in his hand.
